"Sister Li, Chen Miaomiao came to me to verify something. She also wants to meet you and my brother-in-law Xie. I wonder when you will be free? Also, if she can't say anything unexpected, there will be a drama in the Chen family tomorrow. It’s a good show, just let me wait and watch it.”
"Sister Su can guess why she wants to see Brother Xie and me? Don't ask about brother Gao Wu, right?"
"Well! Didn't she know that I had been to Liuyun County and heard about the Yang family? She just came to ask me about the Yang family. But I can't say that I know Gao Wu, otherwise she would definitely guess it. I deliberately lured her to Changyin Pavilion."
"So you actually lured her there that day, and then deliberately asked me to cooperate with what you said, just to arouse her suspicion?"
Although she had already guessed it, she still couldn't help but ask.
"Yes! Sister Li should know that Qian Tongpan always tries his best to make money from merchants like us. Nearly half of the money we earn every year goes into his pocket. I don't want to work hard for others, so I intend to bring him down. It’s just that I’m just a merchant, and I don’t have such great power. Don’t I have to plan carefully and use my strength to gain strength?”
"It's just that I couldn't find a way before. Even if I had this idea, it was just a thought. But with Gao Wu, I saw hope. Especially Chen Miaomiao's husband has become a Jinshi. I heard that now He is a concubine, working as an errand in the Hanlin Academy or something. I think since he is an official, he should know a lot of people. This involves my daughter-in-law, and it may also be related to the death of my mother-in-law, so don't take it seriously?"
"I just thought, if the Gao family is in chaos, then Qin Muyang's mother will not be able to support her sister-in-law? The Qin family has been marrying their concubines to Gao since Qin Muyang's father or grandfather's generation. No, we can't say that. To marry is to marry someone as a concubine. There are also some people who can live a decent life. Otherwise, how can Qin Muyang, her mother, tolerate any concubines to make peace with her? "
Li Yuan was a little confused and asked directly: "Even if the Gao family is in chaos, it is only related to the Qin family. What does it have to do with Qian Tongpan? He and Master Qin are brothers-in-law. What does the brother-in-law of this brother-in-law marry have? If he interferes, his hand will be stretched too far!"
"That's Sister Li. You don't understand a person like him. As long as there is benefit, he will be like a smelly cat. How could he not want to get involved? The Gao family is very rich, and it is the first-class city. The leader of wealthy businessmen.”
Li Yuan could probably guess that she wanted to use Chen Miaomiao's husband to get rid of Qian Tongpan.
But in her opinion, this feasibility is relatively low.
How could a Shujishi, who was said to have no foundation, fight against someone like Qian Tongpuan?
Qian Tongpan has someone in charge, and he can stay in a wealthy place like Xinyang Mansion for many years, which means he has quite a lot of power.
As a newbie in officialdom, Chen Miaomiao's husband would be asking for death if he tried to confront someone like this.
What's more, the sage she knew was a person with no rank in the Hanlin Academy, and the salary given by the imperial court was like the seventh rank.
Therefore, it was difficult for him to get ahead in the Hanlin Academy, so how could he have the ability to solve this problem?
Li Yuan understood clearly and did not throw cold water on Su Mingshan.
She felt that the other party was a smart man and a well-informed businessman, so he should know these twists and turns better than she did.
However, people still pin their hopes on this, indicating that it may still be possible.
But now that she has Meng Peng and the others, she probably doesn't have to worry about doing this anymore.
The reason why I still want to intervene may be because I want to muddy the waters in Xinyang Mansion.
Of course, it is not ruled out that she wants to help Gao Wu!
Thinking of this, Li Yuan said: "Sister Su, why don't you ask someone to ask if Chen Miaomiao is free in the afternoon? You should know that Brother Xie and I are about to get married. Because time is in a hurry, we I haven’t had time to prepare many things, and I can’t delay for long in this city. I came to your house today to pay New Year greetings, and I have to go back in the afternoon at the latest. Before going back, I will leave Caiwei behind and wait for the third day of the Lunar New Year to pick her up. I won’t go out Unexpectedly, I have to leave early on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year."
"In the meantime, not only do I have to attend the Qian Mansion's banquet, but I also have to prepare food and drinks for the road. I also have to check on the progress of things like wedding clothes. I really don't have much free time. Also, Brother Xie said I made a lot of money thanks to the sales of story books, so I wanted to buy some food and give it to the people who were affected by the blizzard and cold wave when I went back."
When Su Mingshan heard that she was indeed busy, she stood up and said, "Okay, I'll have someone go to Chen's house to see if she is free. If not, we'll talk about it later!"
"become!"
After Su Mingshan asked Su Lan to visit the Chen Mansion in person, Li Yuan took out a twenty-tael piece of silver from her sleeve pocket and handed it to her.
"Sister Su, Qingmei should be my biological aunt. I can't take care of her affairs. I don't think she will leave with me, so I have to trouble you to take care of you more. I know she has taken care of you since you were a child. Da, you are also very close to her. It's a bit shameful for me to say this and take this money. But this is the only thing I can do for her, and I have to trouble you. If she really has something, please let someone inform me or Jun. Anything is fine.”
Su Mingshan originally saw Li Yuan take out the money, but she was not happy because she felt that she was too outsider.
But after hearing these words, while reaching out to take it, he said: "Even if Aunt Qing wants to go to your place, I don't recommend her to go. She is not familiar with you. Even if there is a blood relationship, this is an indisputable fact. .You and your brother Li Jun separated in the early years, and you have no parents above you, and you got married separately. When Aunt Qing goes, no matter who lives there, it will be like finding an elder to hold you down. You will not feel comfortable then, Qing My aunt may also be uncomfortable. So, it’s better to stay here. She is indispensable for food and drink at home, and there is also a government doctor for illnesses. She helped me bring her up since she was a child, so now that she is old, it is right for me to help take care of her until she ends. "
Li Yuan felt that Su Mingshan was particularly transparent and could clearly see her difficulties.
And what she said was very beautiful, which made people feel comfortable listening to her.
Just like her at this moment, after hearing these words, she couldn't help but feel relieved.
After all, the other party is her biological aunt. Now she is old, alone, and still working as a servant.
No matter what the master's family is like, as a junior, I definitely don't want to see it in my heart.
But taking someone back, not to mention whether they are willing or not, the key is to escape from drought and floods in the future.
At that time, the capital city will be safer than the county town, and the Su family's financial resources will be stronger than hers.
Maybe someone sensed something was wrong early on, so they left Xinyang Mansion with their family and took refuge?
In short, it is far better for her aunt to be in Su Mansion than to go back to Liuyun County with her!
