Chapter 21 Buying and Selling
Yang Mingjing’s eyes trembled. The expression of Xie Yuyan in front of him was natural, as if the words he just said were ordinary.
The room suddenly became quiet, and Mrs. Zhang worriedly opened the curtain of the inner room and looked outside. Xie Yuyan sat on the chair, but Yang Mingjing stood aside blankly.
Logically speaking, Yang Mingjing is the elder, and Xie Yuyan should not be so rude, but... the current situation does not seem to be inconsistent at all.
After a long while, Yang Mingjing came back to his senses and said in a low voice: "Who taught you to say this? How do you know?"
Xie Yuyan said: "Isn't it clear to the second uncle why Inspector He came to Daming Mansion?"
Yang Mingjing had some guesses, but...
"It's just that the second uncle has never been there. Decide which side to choose."
Yang Mingjing swallowed, and as soon as the documents for He Tan's transfer to Daming Mansion arrived, news came that He Tan wanted to inquire about the general's business.
It’s not like the imperial court has never sent officials to investigate, but in the end it was just loud thunder and little rain. Although He Tan was powerful, he might not be able to shake the entire Daming Mansion.
Besides, he couldn't find out what the attitude of the He clan was. Did He Tan really want to find out, or was he just pretending?
He didn't dare to act rashly until he understood it. Firstly, given the Yang family's status, he didn't know much about it. Secondly, the Yang family's butt was not clean. If he didn't do anything wrong, he would become a scapegoat.
Xie Yuyan continued: "With what happened today, the second uncle doesn't have to choose."
Yang Mingjing was furious, so Xie called the lawyer here not to sue the Xie family at all. But he was plotting against him.
Xie Yuyan didn't seem to notice Yang Mingjing's accumulated anger, or in other words, she didn't take it seriously at all.
"How old is the second uncle this year?" Xie Yuyan asked, "He is less than forty years old. If he can die at the age of more than eighty years old, he still has more than half of his life to live."
"Not counting the period from baby to adult. After more than ten years, the good life of the second uncle has just begun. If he takes the wrong path at this time, it will be equivalent to ruining his whole life's future. Isn't it a pity? "
Yang Mingjing's anger was at this moment. Suddenly it was extinguished a little, and I subconsciously thought about what Xie Yuyan said.
"It is really not easy for merchants like the Yang family to get ahead," Xie Yuyan said. "In the previous dynasty, how could the second uncle dare to dream of becoming a square leader in the future? That is to say, this dynasty has less suppression on merchants. , to have such an opportunity."
Xie Yuyan paused deliberately, and then changed his voice: "But businessmen must make meritorious service to become an official."
Yang Mingjing felt like he was being seen through.
The Xie Yuyan in front of me is not Xie at all. It is impossible for her to say these words.
Someone was talking to Mr. Xie through his mouth.
Who could this person be? Only He Tan.
Xie Yuyan said: "Second uncle thinks that these don't matter. You can kill me and then go to the Xie family. But you must hide it from He Inspection. Otherwise, let alone second uncle, the entire Yang family will face the problem. Disaster."
Yang Mingjing gritted his teeth, and the veins on his forehead jumped: "What do you want?"
Xie Yuyan said: "When I was in the Yang family, my second uncle protected me. In the future, my second uncle will help me find my family. I left the Yang family. From then on, the entire Yang family could not talk about me, and even if they met again in the future, they would pretend to be strangers."
Yang Mingjing suddenly understood, and he understood that a woman from a wealthy family, Xie Yuyan attaches great importance to reputation. If he wants to return home smoothly, he must get rid of this experience completely. As long as the Yang family cooperates, Xie Yuyan's family will only have to tell the outside world that their daughter is recuperating in the country. Who would know that Xie Yuyan has been robbed and sold? Daming Mansion, you are still married?
This is Xie Yuyan’s purpose.
Yang Mingjing took a deep breath, now that the matter was over, he seemed to have no choice.
"You'd better not cause any more trouble, otherwise Yang won't be able to protect you."
After saying a few words, Yang Mingjing turned around and left. He had to think carefully about Xie Yuyan's words.
After Yang Mingjing left, Mrs. Zhang came out.
Xie Yuyan had previously told Ms. Zhang not to show up no matter what happened. Mrs. Zhang watched with fear in the inner room, and understood what Xie Yuyan meant. Even if she was present, she couldn't do anything.
Zhang said: "Can Yang Mingjing really win the title of deputy envoy?"
Xie Yuyan nodded. With that person's intelligence, how could he not take advantage of this good opportunity?
Ms. Zhang thought for a while, and finally said: "In the future, when you leave the Yang family, I won't tell anyone else, don't worry..."
Ms. Zhang said this, look A smile appeared on Xie Yuyan's face: "I lied to Yang Mingjing. Just like the He family, I have to give them a reason so that they can do things with peace of mind." As soon as Xie Yuyan finished speaking, he heard Yang Qin's voice coming from outside. Voice: "Mom, sister-in-law, I'm back."
Yang Qin carried the bamboo basket and ran home happily. Then he carefully took out the medicine and saw that there was no trace of it. Injured, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'll fry it for my sister-in-law in a while."
After saying that, he took out the book, pen and some paper.
“Mr. Tong gave this to me.”
Ms. Zhang couldn’t help but be surprised. They hadn’t formally become disciples and hadn’t sent Shu Xiu there yet, but Mr. Tong had given them to them first.
Xie Yuyan said: "Do you know Mr.'s name?"
Yang Qin nodded: "My name is Tong Chen. He was selected as a scholar at the age of fourteen. He is really powerful."
Tong Chen, Tong Zixian? Although Xie Yuyan didn't know this person, he had read the books he wrote, especially the experiences he wrote. You can always find the shadow of a person between the lines.
Later, many people wrote about that person's past, and they would look for clues in Tong Zixu's articles.
Even if Wang Huai got Tong Zixu's book, he would read it with her and then talk about that person. Xie Yuyan suddenly missed the leisure days of eating snacks and reading Tong Zixu's books.
Xie Yuyan picked up the "Prodigy Poems" brought back by Yang Qin and flipped through it casually. It seemed that there were a few fewer poems than what she had read in her previous life.
"My husband asked me to come back and read this book of poems. My mother taught me this before," Yang Qin said. "But Master Wang said that I would not be allowed to mention "Poems of the Child Prodigy" in front of my husband."
Xie Yuyan was a little surprised. Didn't Tong Zixu write that privately, that person liked to have others sing his childhood poems and mention the past when he was called a "child prodigy"?
Is it possible that there are still fake ones? Or maybe he thinks that the poetry album is really poorly printed?
Xie Yuyan tapped her fingers lightly on the table. She could help a bunch of Mr. Tong in this matter. She hid in the Taoist Temple during those days and read a lot of idle books. Many of Tong Zixu’s articles were incomplete. , which can be regarded as a big regret.
"Mr. Tong has accepted many disciples," Yang Qin said, "They are all children from poor families. The clothes they wear are similar to mine."
This shows Mr. Tong’s character.
Yang Qin was very happy to be able to become a disciple of Mr. Tong.
After saying this, Yang Qin mentioned Master Xie Qi again: "My sister-in-law has guessed it all. If someone from the Xie family really comes to ask me for news, I will say exactly what my sister-in-law taught me. Tell him.”
Xie Yuyan nodded.
Yang Qin couldn't help but ask: "What should the Xie family do next?"
Xie Yuyan said: "That Mr. Xie Qi will come again soon."
Yang Qin blinked, as if something happened that he didn't know about when he left home.
“I also found out about the place where charcoal is sold,” Yang Qin said happily. “It’s in Sanhe Village just outside the city. I also dug up the dry loess my sister-in-law asked for.”
< br>Yang Qin still doesn’t know what Xie Yuyan wants to do with the loess.
Xie Yuyan said: "Take out the crushed charcoal and I will teach you how to make lotus root charcoal."
The winter in Taoist temples is not easy either. Other Taoist temples are refining elixirs, and the master and his brothers are mixing mud to make lotus root charcoal in the yard. People near the Taoist temple often go up the mountain to ask for money.
Xie Yuyan put his hands into his sleeves and watched Yang Qin busy. Soon there was a pile of black mud on the ground.
Yang Qin wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Sister-in-law, what do you mean these are?"
Xie Yuyan took a sip of the hot water in his hand: "This is our first A deal. ”
