After Xiao Yuan arrived at Gaoyang Pass, he immediately wrote to Xu Nuo to report his trip.
It was already June when Xu Nuo received the letter.
The letter wrote about the interesting things he encountered along the way. Finally, he talked about how the price of Xu Pingyi's carved jade had increased several times. He wrote that when he was desperate and had no food to eat, he promised to give him two pieces of Xu Pingyi's carved jade so that he could change his mind. Eat.
Xu Nuo chuckled, took out a piece of paper, and wrote four big words at the beginning: "You may as well starve to death."
In the past, Xiao Yuan never dared to write to her in order not to implicate her. He always sent some toys and paintings to her shop, and she would ask Chuntang to pick them up regularly.
Now, he had gotten rid of Empress Liu's control, and had cut off some of his past relationships, and actually dared to send the letter to the Xu Mansion in a big way.
The letter was delivered to Mingjin Pavilion by Grandma Li's maid. Xu Nuo was shocked when he saw the familiar handwriting on the envelope. Fortunately, he signed Xiao Siniang, otherwise the letter would not have been handed in. It was in her hands, but on her mother Lu's case.
As soon as she finished writing her reply to Xiao Yuan, Qi Qiyue rushed in, knelt down beside her, happily raised the thing in her hand, and said, "Madam, I received the letter from Sister Chuntang."
As he spoke, he handed the letter to Xu Nuo.
"There are so many letters today." Xu Nuo said, taking them and opening them.
July pushed away the desk and came over to read the letter.
It can be seen from the letter that Chuntang has managed several shops in Suzhou, and the show shop has also begun to recruit students. Several ladies have invited her to work as an embroiderer in Fuzhong, but she wants to focus on her own embroidery shop. He didn't agree.
Although Huang Zhaoning was not mentioned in the letter, one could feel from the lines that she had a good life as a child and Huang Zhaoning treated her very well.
Qiyue took the letter and read it twice before saying with a blushing face: "Madam, when I reach the age of getting married, you must help me find a wife..."
After all, I was too shy to say the next words.
Seeing her shy look, Xu Nuo didn't laugh at her. He took her hand and said, "What kind of thing do you like? Tell me and I'll help you keep an eye on it."
Qi Qi immediately got excited, her eyes were bright, she tilted her head to think, and twirled her fingers and said, "It's best to be someone who can cook, is older than me, is good at martial arts, and can make me laugh."
She looked seriously into Xu Nuo's eyes and said, "Madam, that's it. Is it easy to find what I ask for?"
Xunuo looked at Qiyue with a smile, deliberately teasing her, and said: "It's okay, I think Xiao Silang meets your requirements very well."
For a moment, Qi Qiu looked confused and embarrassed.
Thinking about it carefully, Mr. Xiao Silang really met all of her requirements, but how could she dare to compete with his wife for a man?
"Madam, please forgive me. Even if you have a thief's heart, you don't have the courage to do so. I definitely don't like Mr. Xiao Silang. You have to believe me." Qi Qiu felt a little scared.
Miss Xin'er from Wanxiang Tower had an idea of Mr. Xiao Silang, and she knew exactly what would happen to him.
No one is allowed to even look at the meat in the lady's mouth, let alone snatch it.
Did she just say something without thinking?
Qi Qi wished she could slap herself in the face.
Xu Nuo suppressed a smile and said: "If you really like this, I don't need to help you find it. There are ready-made ones..."
Before Xu Nuo finished speaking, Qi Qi knelt and rubbed against Xu Nuo, grabbed Xu Nuo's sleeves, and said anxiously: "Madam, I want to change my request. I like people who can't cook and don't know martial arts. "
After saying that, he blinked and looked at Xu Nuo, for fear that Xu Nuo would misunderstand.
Xu Nuo sighed, held her shoulders, and said, "I have known you for many years. I know what kind of person you are. I was joking with you just now, so I will help you pay attention."
Hearing this, Qi Qiu sat down slumped and felt relieved.
After I felt relieved, I thought about it again and realized that I had been worrying too much just now.
Madam is not a petty person, and she is so smart. If she was really interested in Xiao Silang, she would have been discovered by Madam long ago and punished long ago. How could she be left here until now?
Xu Nuo replied to Chun Tang, and Qi Yue also wrote a copy in crooked handwriting, put it in an envelope and sent it off.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it’s time to sell ice again.
Xu Nuo went to the ice shop as usual. During the chat, the shopkeeper said mysteriously: "I'm afraid Miss Xin'er was carried to the Wang family."
Xu Nuo turned to look at the ice shop shop owner who looked a little proud, and asked in a low voice: "Why do you say that?"
The shopkeeper glanced around, then leaned into Xunuo's ear and said, "Miss Xin'er is very afraid of heat. She ordered ice at my place this summer. She has to have people come to get ice every other day. It has never stopped. Now, It's been two days and no one has come to pick it up, so I guess it's no longer at Wanxiang Tower."
In the past two months, everyone in Bianjing City knew about Wang Jiulang and Miss Xin'er, and the storytellers had been revised several times.
Since Miss Xin'er was not in Wanxiang Building, the shopkeeper concluded that she had been carried to the Wang family as a concubine.
Xu Nuo didn't talk much about the matter with the shopkeeper in the ice shop, but when he returned, he immediately asked people to inquire about it.
In the end, I could only find out that Miss Xin'er was indeed not in Wanxiang Tower, and that Wang Jiulang had been given a family law, but nothing else was known.
The person who inquired about the information was very embarrassed. It was the first time he did such a poor job on a task. He was thinking about banging his head, but Xu Nuo said it was nothing and asked him to go down with a smile.
There was a scandal in the Wang family, and the servants, wives, and servants must have all been silenced. It was natural that nothing could be found out in a short period of time.
Early the next morning, Xu Nuo took Qi Qi to Lu Mansion.
When Lu Jiuniang heard about the promised visit, she went to the Chuihua Gate to greet her in person: "Liu Niang, why did you come to my place suddenly?"
"Sister Ninth, can't I miss you?" Xu Nuo said with a smile.
"I don't believe it." Lu Jiuniang hugged Xu Nuo's arm affectionately and led her into the house.
She was getting married in September, and now she was bored at home working as a female worker. The promised visit made her very happy.
The two of them entered the house and promised to explain their purpose of coming directly without exchanging pleasantries: "Sister Ninth, do you know anything about Jiulang of the Wang family and Miss Xin'er from Wanxiang House? I was curious after hearing some rumors when I went out yesterday, so I wanted to ask you. "
"I knew you didn't come here just to see me!" Lu Jiuniang smiled and pushed Xu Nuo.
Xu Nuo hurriedly hugged Lu Jiuniang's arm and said, "Sister Jiu, if you know, please tell me. Don't hang me up."
Lu Jiuniang looked at Xu Nuo and smiled, but didn't say a word. She didn't speak until the maid served fruits and tea and left.
"Look at how anxious you are. As far as I know, it has been more than two months since the marriage of Jiaren County Master, and he has never let Wang Jiulang get close to him. Wang Jiulang is also a person with no ambition. He has been shut out from the wedding day. Then he secretly went to Wanxiang Tower to look for Miss Xin'er and spent the night there." He said this with a look of disgust.
During this period of time, although Lu Jiuniang worked as a female worker at home and never left home, there was nothing that she didn't know about what happened to any household in Bianjing City.
"Privy Envoy Wang punished Wang Jiulang at first, causing Wang Jiulang to suffer a lot. The family thought that this would make Jiaren County Lord soft-hearted and let Wang Jiulang enter the house, but they did not want to be persuaded by anyone. Jiaren County Lord just refused. Wang Jiulang was allowed to stay in the house for the night, and Privy Wang turned a blind eye and stopped caring. The more Jiaren County Lord refused to allow Wang Jiulang to enter the house, the more Wang Jiulang went to Wanxiang Tower to look for Miss Xin'er. , and then lived there all day long.”
Lu Jiuniang said, shaking her head helplessly.
They all grew up in Bianjing. She has always known the thoughts of County Lord Jiaren. County Lord Jiaren's admiration for Xu Dalang is no less than Hu Ling's love for Mr. Beijiang.
The Lord of Jiaren County was given this marriage by the emperor, and he must have been unwilling to do so. It was already good that he didn't run away from the marriage and regret it.
"As a result, Wang Jiulang took it upon himself to carry Miss Xin'er back to the Wang family the day before yesterday. He knelt in front of his parents and said that he wanted to take Xin'er as his concubine. Otherwise, even if the Lord of Jiaren County begged him to go back to his room to sleep, he would not go. . The Privy Councilor was so angry that he threw a teacup on Wang Jiulang's head on the spot, gave him a family punishment, and made him kneel in the ancestral hall. Mrs. Wang was so angry that she fainted on the spot and woke up only at night."
Xu Nuo showed a surprised expression. She had not paid attention to Wang Jiulang in the past few days, and she did not expect such a big commotion.
No one outside said such a big news, which shows that Privy Envoy Wang has blocked the news this time.
If this kind of thing spreads out, his face will really be humiliated by his son.
"I heard that the bastard was also involved. Miss Xin'er pretended to be her maid before entering the Privy Councilor's Mansion. The Privy Councilor didn't know about it at first, but she insisted on interceding with Wang Jiulang, and ended up leaking the matter. , was fined and suspended for two months."
Xu Nuo snorted. The two Wang brothers and sisters were really stupider than the other. She asked, "What about Miss Xin'er?"
"After this happened, people in the Privy Council Office were only allowed in and out. I don't know whether Miss Xin'er was silenced or locked up."
Lu Jiuniang sneered and said that she had heard too much about big families, and people without power could only be slaughtered by others.
Once I heard the promise, I was anxious!
We can't let Xin'er die, and we have to keep her to make the Lord Jiaren feel uncomfortable.
