"That's not what you are saying. We don't even have seedlings. Where can we plant them? I think you have been at home for so many years and you must be very familiar with these things. I want to ask if you know the prices of various seedlings and where to buy them?"
Du Xinyu thought carefully, "I seem to remember some, but I need to think about it carefully!"
"Don't worry, the weather isn't warm yet. Think about it slowly. Let's think it over when we have time!" After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, he gently stroked Du Xinyu's hair!
Du Xinyu threw herself into Zhao Xuanyi's arms, "I'll sleep a little longer!"
"Sure! I'll accompany you!" Zhao Xuanyi got into the quilt, hugged Du Xinyu and the two of them hugged each other intimately!
And when the time came at noon, I heard a carriage stop at the door of Shuixianju. Two girls got out of the carriage, and one of the girls was holding a child in her arms!
The servants of Shuixianju looked at it and thought that today is really interesting. Why are so many women here? Is there another one holding a child? The woman this morning was the master’s wife, so could these two be the same? What about this kid?
When the two girls arrived at the door, they looked up at the plaque and saw that this was probably where they were. So they walked forward and when the servant asked, "Is this the home of Mr. Zhao Xuanyi and Mr. Zhao?"
When the two servants heard this, they nodded hurriedly, "Yes, are you looking for our master?"
"right!"
"Okay, you guys wait a minute!" A servant hurriedly went inside to report the news, and happened to meet Shen Wei. The servant hurriedly said, "Brother Shen, two more women came outside, saying they were looking for the master. One of them She’s holding a child in her arms! Are the young master’s children and concubine here?”
When Shen Wei heard this, he stared, "Nonsense! The young master doesn't have a child yet! Who is this? I'll go and see!" Shen Wei followed the servant to the door and saw two girls standing at the door, one wearing a The red one and the green one are none other than Li Hanyan's personal maids Qinglian and Litchi!
After the two girls saw Shen Wei, they hurriedly walked into the house with a smile. Shen Wei was also very happy, "It's you two? How come you are so far away?"
"Not Miss yet? After returning home, I heard that my uncle had moved here and was about to come over. The two of us followed each other for fear that something might happen to Miss on the way. As a result, last night, we originally planned to rest at the inn for one night and come back today, but The lady was anxious, so she ran over in advance. Has the lady arrived?" Qinglian asked.
"Here we are! We arrived early in the morning, beat up the nursing home, and just vented our anger! Qinglian, you too, you already have children, why are you still carrying them in such a cold weather? Aren't you kidding?" Shen Wei said with a complaining look.
"I won't worry if I don't follow you! This child can't be given to his father. How can he take care of the child?" Qinglian said helplessly.
"Quick, quick, quick... Go to the hall, it's freezing in this weather, don't freeze the child! Who is that, Liu Yanling, go and get some more charcoal fire boxes and go to the hall!" Shen Wei ordered hurriedly.
"Yes!" Liu Yanling hurriedly went to do something!
Several people walked into the hall. Shen Wei hurriedly ordered the kitchen to cook, and then brought two charcoal braziers to warm the hall. He was afraid that Qinglian's child would be frozen!
After a while, a bowl of braised noodles was served. The two girls hurriedly ate it, while the child was placed directly on the table. A group of people gathered around to watch, teasing the little baby from time to time. When they saw the little baby smiling, everyone was excited. Very happy, feeling very happy!
When Zhao Xuanyi learned that Qinglian and Lizhi were coming, he took Du Xinyu out of the room and went to the hall to see that everyone was surrounding the child and playing with him! When everyone saw Zhao Xuanyi coming, they hurriedly saluted, "Hello, young master!"
Zhao Xuanyi nodded. When Qinglian and Lizhi saw Zhao Xuanyi coming, they hurriedly put down their bowls and chopsticks and stood up, "Uncle!"
When Zhao Xuanyi saw Liu Xiawan, he felt a little angry, "Aren't you guys fooling around? What kind of skills does Han Yan have? It's good if she doesn't bully others! Why are you following me? You even put the child on, what's wrong with someone here halfway? manage?"
The two maids didn't say anything, and stood quietly aside, "Look what I'm doing? Eat quickly, and take a rest when you're full. Leave the child to my sister-in-law to take care of first! It's causing more trouble every day!"
"Yes!" The two girls then sat down and continued eating!
Zhao Xuanyi hugged Liu Xiawan over and made faces, making Liu Xiawan giggle. Everyone thought the child was Zhao Xuanyi's!
"Sir, you are so lucky! Your child is so beautiful!" said a servant.
Qinglian squirted out all the noodles in one mouthful!
Zhao Xuanyi was also very embarrassed and turned to glare at the servant, "What nonsense are you talking about? This is not my child, this is someone else's! Don't talk nonsense!"
When everyone heard this, they realized that they had made a mistake! Du Xinyu laughed loudly from the side and lay on Zhao Xuanyi's shoulder, "Master, when will you and your wife have a baby?"
Zhao Xuanyi turned around and glared at Du Xinyu, "Get lost!" Du Xinyu continued to laugh, but this laughter sounded very awkward to Zhao Xuanyi's ears.
When Li Hanyan heard Qinglian and Lizhi coming, she hurriedly came to the front hall. When she saw the two girls, she sighed, "Didn't I let you have a day off before coming back? You didn't sleep last night, right?"
The two stood up in a hurry, "Miss, you are traveling at night, how dare we not follow you? The carriage is just not as fast as your horse!" said Lychee.
"You guys!" Li Hanyan sighed. Seeing the child in Zhao Xuanyi's arms, she hurriedly took it over and started coaxing the child!
Lychee looked at Qinglian and winked at Qinglian. Qinglian shook her head, as if she didn't want to say anything, but Lychee's eyes were very firm!
"What are you two doing? Just say whatever you want, what are you doing there?" Li Hanyan said coldly.
Qinglian took out a piece of paper from her sleeve and put it on the table. "Miss, we saw this on the way!"
Li Hanyan came over, opened the paper and saw that it was a portrait of a missing person, and the girl on it was none other than Tang Rou. Li Hanyan turned to look at Zhao Xuanyi.
Zhao Xuanyi was so angry that he didn't seem to faint. He thought to himself, God, are you feeling uncomfortable because you are waiting for me to die?
Shen Wei hurriedly winked at everyone, and all the servants ran out, thinking that there was going to be another battle, right? After dozens of people ran out of the hall, they closed the door.
"Zhao Xuanyi! What's going on?" Li Hanyan shouted loudly.
"What...what's going on? Just? Find someone, just? Don't shout! It scares the children!" Zhao Xuanyi pointed at Liu Xiawan and said.
"You...?" Li Hanyan was about to get angry. She looked at the child in her arms and lowered her voice, "Are you sick? After so many years, you still miss me?"
"Yes! I will definitely find Tang Rou. If you don't like it, go back to the capital by yourself! Out of sight, out of mind!" Zhao Xuanyi was determined this time and must find Tang Rou!
Li Hanyan put the child in Qinglian's arms and pointed at Zhao Xuanyi, "What do you mean by this?"
"It's not interesting. What's wrong with me finding a woman who can give me a child? Don't come over, I'm not afraid of you!" After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, he saw Li Hanyan walking towards him, and Zhao Xuanyi hurriedly hid behind Shen Wei.
"You...?" Before Li Hanyan could finish her words, the door was pushed open and Tang Tianli ran in with a hurried look on his face. "Brother Shen, go take a look, something happened!"
When Shen Wei saw Tang Tianli's expression, he seemed anxious, "What happened?"
Shen Wei didn't know what was going on, but he saw a man walking into the hall, and this man was none other than his junior brother Lu Xiaofei.
Before Lu Xiaofei could say anything, Zhao Xuanyi hurriedly came over and hugged Lu Xiaofei's hand. "Oh, brother, have a happy New Year! I welcome you to disturb me. You don't know, I am at a very critical moment now. I am almost here." My wife is driving her crazy!”
After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, he looked at Li Hanyan. Lu Xiaofei also saw Li Hanyan with an angry face. Zhao Xuanyi smiled awkwardly, "Do you understand me?"
When Lu Xiaofei saw Zhao Xuanyi, he didn't say New Year greetings, but knelt directly on the ground. This scene scared Zhao Xuanyi, "Don't mention it! We are all of the same generation, so what, Brother Shen, hurry up and get the red envelope! This is a big New Year!"
Lu Xiaofei grabbed Zhao Xuanyi's hand and said, "Mr. Zhao, I'm not here to pay New Year's greetings. I'm here to ask for your help on behalf of my senior brother!"
Zhao Xuanyi took a look, something happened? He hurriedly helped Lu Xiaofei up, "Brother, what are you doing? If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you kneeling? We are all brothers. Come on, sit down and say it!"
Zhao Xuanyi hurriedly helped Lu Xiaofei to a chair and sat down. Shen Wei also came over and asked hurriedly, "What's going on? What happened?"
Lu Xiaofei then said, "That's right, we have to start talking about this matter half a month ago. It was the New Year at that time, and the escort agency had little business this year, so the money it received was not very much. Everyone wanted to go home during the New Year. But the inside of the pocket is too thin, so I can’t even get it back!”
"At this time, a group of people happened to come to the escort agency and asked us to transport the escort, but the second senior brother was not around and was busy with other things. We did not dare to accept the escort at will, but the cost this time was very considerable. Several of our senior brothers After some discussion, I agreed after having been an escort for so many years!"
When Shen Wei heard this, he had a bad feeling. "What is being transported?"
Lu Xiaofei continued, "It's a thousand taels of gold! It's just a box. When we thought about it, without senior brothers, it would be enough for the four of us to call a dozen escorts. We have been bodyguards for many years, so I just want to take a trip by myself and make some money to celebrate the New Year!"
"When I picked up the escort, I saw clearly that there were ten gold bricks in the alley. After we put the seal on them, we started escorting them. From Hangzhou to Hebei, we had a smooth journey. We didn't encounter bandits or robbers, and there was only one box. We have always transported it by horse-drawn carriage, with no exposed escorts!”
"Because it was one thousand taels of gold, we were extra careful. We changed people to look at the box along the way and never dared to let anyone leave our eyes. But when we arrived at the destination, when we opened the box, we found that there were not more than one thousand taels of gold inside. Fly away!"
"Now they want escorts from us, plus liquidated damages, three thousand taels of gold per one, and a total of three thousand taels of gold. We can't afford to pay for it even if we sell it! We... we don't know what to do. The little junior sister wants to hang herself. Second Senior Brother stopped me, and now the escort agencies are closed!"
Lu Xiaofei looked at Shen Wei, "Senior brother, we really have no choice, so we came to you. You must save us!"
After Zhao Xuanyi heard this, he felt that the matter was too big. Three thousand taels of gold, converted into silver, was thirty thousand taels! Let alone an escort agency, even ordinary people can't afford this!
"Can this be solved by giving money?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.
Shen Wei naturally understands what Zhao Xuanyi means. Zhao Xuanyi is not short of money. Let alone thirty thousand taels, even three hundred thousand taels is not a problem for him, but this is not the case. "Young Master, paying money is the last resort. If you lose the money, it is equivalent to losing the escort, and the Chang'an Escort Agency will never get business again!"
"If possible, I would like to ask the young master to help. This is a thousand taels of gold. It will not be lost for no reason. There must be something wrong. We must catch this person and give the escort agency justice!" Shen Wei said loudly.
When Zhao Xuanyi heard this, his face turned cold, "Brother Shen, don't worry! Lu Xiaofei, Wang Heqing and Wang Dengdeng are all my saviors. How can I sit back and ignore it? I want to see who dares to be so bold." Are you playing this trick with us during the Chinese New Year?"
"Thank you Mr. Zhao, please go over and have a look. The junior sister is making such a fuss that she is almost dying!" Lu Xiaofei said loudly.
Zhao Xuanyi smiled slightly, "It's nothing to worry about. If there's nothing else, let's leave now!" Zhao Xuanyi turned to look at Zi Yuan and Li Hanyan, "You guys stay at home, Qinglian and Lizhi, you'll have a good time after you eat." Rest, let Zi Yuan take care of the child! I'm going out to do some errands, so don't make any trouble for me!"
Zhao Xuanyi showed the majesty of the head of the family and said to everyone. After everyone heard it, they did not dare to mess around. After all, there is serious business now! Everyone nodded!
Du Xinyu came over and took Zhao Xuanyi's arm, "Take me with you and go out to play?"
Zhao Xuanyi smiled and hugged Du Xinyu's shoulders, "Sure, go wear a cloak. It's cold outside, don't get cold!"
"Okay!" Du Xinyu didn't want to be with Li Hanyan and the others. It would be best to be alone with Zhao Xuanyi! So go change clothes!
Zhao Xuanyi came to Tang Tianli and said, "Tang Tianli, when I went out, I was kept under guard at home. If any outsiders or strangers come, they are not allowed to come in!"
"Yes, what if there are gifts?"
"I won't let you in, and I won't accept gifts. I just say I'm not at home and you can't make the decision!" Zhao Xuanyi said.
"Yes! I understand!" Tang Tianli said.
After everything was arranged, Zhao Xuanyi was relieved. Jinglan and these people were brothers, so they would naturally follow him. This matter was not right no matter how he thought about it, and everyone had to go and see what was going on!
Shen Wei immediately prepared the carriage and drove with Jinglan. Zhao Xuanyi and Du Xinyu sat in the carriage. Lu Xiaofei had his own horse. In addition, he also followed four Qilin Guards, all riding horses to protect Zhao Xuanyi's safety!
Zhao Xuanyi sat in the carriage and asked outside the carriage, "Brother Shen, do you know if your junior brother's escort agency has any enemies?"
When Shen Wei heard this, he frowned, "Young Master, let's put it this way, the escort agency is engaged in the business of licking blood with a knife's edge. It can be said that there are countless enemies. The bandits on this mountain and the sea robbers are mortal enemies. So when we talk about enemies, countless!"
Zhao Xuanyi nodded. He originally thought there were some clues, but now it seems that there are too many clues! How could a box of gold disappear? Could it be that someone was watching and stealing?
