Mingyue said: "Sheng Guo'er, I recently heard that she has a close relationship with Xu Yunchan, the fortune teller of the Xu family. Maybe she can talk to her. If Xu Yunchan can help us, won't we be able to find the cow?"
Officer Hong asked in confusion: "Who is Sheng Guoer?"
Ms. Xie said: "Oh, she is a very smart and sensible little girl. Recently, there was an eating competition at the Xifeng Village sacrificial ceremony. She won the first place and cured Mr. Futai's mother's anorexia."
Hong Yuanwai's eyes lit up and he said, "Oh? So, she is very familiar with Mr. Futai?"
Mrs. Xie shook her head and said, "I don't know who I am, but she once gave us jam."
Hong Yuanwai pondered: "Could it be that she gave all the delicious jams at that time?"
Ms. Xie nodded and said with a smile: "This is a good child. She was kidnapped by bandits last time. She stayed calm in the face of danger and even asked the bandits to dig a fish pond for the villagers of Xifeng Village for free!"
When Hong Yuanwai heard this, he laughed and said, "She really is. By the way, how do you know so much?"
Mrs. Xie said with some sadness: "How can you know everything about me when you are with my concubine all day long? I have been friends with that Sheng Guoer for many years. This child is smart and sensible. I like her very much!"
Hong Yuanwai knew that Xie had no children, and this matter had always been a pain in Xie's heart, so he sighed and said nothing.
The most important thing right now is to retrieve those cattle. Hong Yuanwai said: "Since you all said that Sheng Guoer has a way, let's go and see if there is a way to retrieve our cattle!"
Xie said: "I'm afraid we have to go to Dongxiang Village in person."
Hong Yuanwai said reluctantly: "What is there to do in that poor place? Ask someone to inform Sheng Guoer and tell her that if she can help the Hong family find the cow, I will reward her with five taels of silver!"
Xie burst out laughing, and even Mingyue laughed.
Hong Yuanwai said strangely: "What's wrong with you? What are you laughing at!"
Ms. Xie shook her head and said, "You are really confused with those women. Do you know how much assets Sheng Guoer has now?"
Mr. Hong smiled contemptuously and said, "How much assets can a daughter's family have?"
Xie said: "As far as I know, Sheng Guoer's current savings in the Lin family's bank account are two thousand taels. She also used the five thousand taels given by the court to buy the Lu Yu tea tree and the tea garden!"
Mr. Hong stood up and asked in surprise: "Really? I've always wanted that tea garden. That tea tree is rare for a hundred years and produces thousands of kilograms of good tea every year. I couldn't persuade that old man with all my money and means. How did Sheng Guoer do it?"
Ms. Xie waved her hand and said, "I don't know about this concubine. Therefore, Dongxiang Village is no longer what it used to be. Many villagers from Xifeng Village have gone to Dongxiang Village to seek a living!"
Hong Yuanwai exclaimed: "Oh my, I have been living in the house for a long time, and I don't know what's going on outside. Fortunately, she didn't go against our Hong family!"
Ms. Xie smiled lightly and said: "Sheng Guoer's temperament is that I will not offend others unless they offend me. If she is not forced to the extreme, she will not take action against anyone. She told me that she just wants to be safe. I want to earn money steadily to support my family, and I don’t want to fight with anyone.”
Officer Hong said with a smile: "A girl is just a girl, she has no ambitions."
Mingyue said: "Master and Madam, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."
Because Mingyue often generates income for Mr. Xie, Mr. Xie turns a blind eye to her business matters. After all, Mingyue earns money from her concubine, which is something Mr. Xie is very happy to see.
Therefore, Mingyue gradually gained a voice in the government, and Hong Yuan would also listen to her opinions on some matters.
Mingyue leaned forward slightly and said: "Master, madam, Mingyue thinks that the master and his wife should go there in person, so as to show their sincerity, and secondly, to find out Sheng Guoer's true identity. If she really has an affair with Mr. Futai, If we have some contacts, we can use her relationship to establish a connection with Mr. Futai, which will also be good for the master."
Then, Mingyue cupped her hands and said, "Of course, the master and his wife have their own decision, and it's not Mingyue's turn to talk too much!"
Mr. Hong and Ms. Xie looked at each other and said, "Okay, let's do it. You go and prepare."
Mingyue was secretly happy and said: "I obey."
Over there, Sheng Guoer was waiting for news at home. Mrs. Shen said worriedly, "Daughter, will your plan succeed?"
Sheng Guoer smiled and said: "This is a serial plan. I didn't want to do it at first, but for our status and the right to speak, we have to do it!"
Mrs. Shen advised, "Guo'er, it's good that we have such a life now, why should we change our identities?"
Sheng Guoer said: "Mother, do you know that starting from next year, the imperial court will select talents based on their status. Although Sheng Shi is still studying in Xuanzi Department, his status is that of a low-level untouchable and he cannot be selected. If you are selected, it means that all the books you have read are in vain, and you cannot even get into the private school teacher!"
Mrs. Shen said: "Then it's the same as working at home and working with you? Our family is rich now!"
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Mrs. Shen went to open the door in response, but saw Song Silang's mother-in-law saying anxiously: "Aunt, where is Guo'er, is Guo'er here?"
When Sheng Guoer heard someone calling her outside, she walked out and said, "I'm here!" When she saw it was Song Silang's wife, she said, "Sister-in-law Fourth, do you have a problem with me?"
The fourth sister-in-law hurriedly ran over and grabbed Sheng Guoer's arm, crying: "Guoer, you know many people, please save your fourth brother!"
Song Silang can be regarded as the matchmaker between her and Meng Xingzhou. In addition, whether it is saving herself, punishing the magic stick, or sacrificing the ceremony, Song Silang has contributed the most. Therefore, seeing the fourth sister-in-law in such a hurry, something big must have happened. Sheng Guoer asked: "What happened?"
The fourth sister-in-law said: "Guo'er, the Hong family's cow was lost. In order to find the cow, his housekeeper sent a large number of people to search from house to house. When they found the blacksmith's shop, Hu Yousan was so arrogant that he insisted If there is a spark here, it must be our Shilang who is a cattle thief! Then he was beaten severely and taken back to the Hong family to be punished. "
Sheng Guoer was shocked when she heard this. She didn't expect that the Hong family would be so unreasonable, so unreasonable, and even overbearing.
At the same time, Sheng Guoer was also full of apologies for hurting innocent people during the implementation of his strategy. If it weren't for the use of the strategy, Song Silang would not have been beaten for no reason.
Sheng Guoer now hates this member Hong even more. Although Xie was on good terms with her, since the last time she saw Hong Yuanwai bullying good people, and today he beat someone for no reason, Sheng Guoer thought that it was right for her to burn down his cattle farm.
In this case, Sheng Guoer calmed down and thought about it, and came up with a solution to her original plan. She said, "Don't worry, fourth sister-in-law, I will let Hong Yuanwai personally release the fourth brother, and I will compensate your family for a large sum of money." Money!”
The fourth sister-in-law's eyes glowed with hope, and she cried and said, "Thank you Guo'er, thank you Guo'er."
Mrs. Shen helped her fourth sister-in-law up and said worriedly: "The Hong family is so powerful, how can you fight with them!"
Sheng Guoer said calmly: "Since the matter has been messed up, don't worry about it getting worse. I have my own way!"
Sheng Guoer knew clearly that various situations would inevitably arise during the game of chess. As long as he stayed calm and dealt with the situation flexibly according to the original plan, he would definitely avert danger.
When encountering dangers and situations, the stupidest thing to do is to panic, and the smartest thing to do is to stay calm.
Sheng Guoer said: "Fourth sister-in-law, Hong Yuanwai will come in the afternoon. You should hide in my house first. If I don't ask you to come out, you must not come out!"
The fourth sister-in-law had a backbone, so she nodded and said, "Okay, Guo'er, I'll listen to you!"
Sheng Guoer said: "Mom, take your fourth sister-in-law to the private school and tell Sheng Shi and Xiao Tao not to come back. I want to talk about big things!"
Ms. Shen was a little worried. She didn't worry about her daughter's safety. This member Hong sounded like an unreasonable and unreasonable person.
Sheng Guoer smiled and said: "Don't worry, he has something in my hands, and I will deal with him!"
Seeing Sheng Guoer's calm look, Mrs. Shen wanted to say something, but she heard Sheng Guoer say: "Mom, if you are here, my plan will not be implemented. Also, how can the fourth sister-in-law redress her injustice!"
Mrs. Shen had no choice but to nod her head and left the house with her fourth sister-in-law and went to a private school.
In the afternoon, Sheng Guoer calmly drank tea in the house. There was an ice skate hanging on the branch in the yard, which cracked and fell to the ground from time to time.
With a click, another branch covered with ice fell from the tree, followed by a series of knocks on the door.
Sheng Guoer stood up calmly, thinking.
After Sheng Guoer opened the door, she saw a man and a woman in fine clothes standing at the door of her house. The man was arrogant, but the woman was gentle and polite.
Naturally, I know the woman Sheng Guoer, she is Mrs. Hong Xie.
And this unruly and arrogant man is naturally Hong Yuanwai.
"Guo'er, I'm here to see you. Why don't you let your aunt come in and sit in the house?" Ms. Xie said with a smile, "I brought your uncle to talk to you. We all know each other. Let's see what's going on at your home. What’s missing!”
Sheng Guoer smiled, stepped aside and said, "Auntie, please come in!"
Hong Yuanwai felt as if he had arrived at his own home. He walked straight in without even looking at Sheng Guoer. Looking at this exquisite farmhouse, Hong Yuanwai nodded and said, "It's a bit like my Daoxiang Village, and it's still barely enough." Stay a while."
Sheng Guoer smiled and said, "Except for Hong Yuan, my family doesn't lack anything, but your family does!"
Hong Yuanwai was shocked. He didn't expect that Sheng Guoer had anticipated his situation. He couldn't hold it back and blurted out: "You, how did you..." But he stopped when he reached his mouth because he didn't want to Let Sheng Guoer grasp the handle, so I won't say any more.
Mrs. Xie rolled her eyes at Mr. Hong and thought to herself, "Why are you hiding it now that it's been revealed? You might as well just tell the truth."
Ms. Xie said: "Guo'er is so smart, and she also got some good news. Our family is indeed encountering some things now. Mingyue is on good terms with you, so she asked us to come and discuss with you. I heard that you have an affair with the daughter of the Xu family. I am a good friend, and I would like you to talk to Miss Yunchan, the daughter of the Xu family, and ask her to help us calculate the whereabouts of this cow."
Sheng Guoer smiled and said: "This matter is easy to handle, but I have one condition!"
Mr. Hong snorted and said, "How much does it cost?"
Sheng Guoer smiled and said, "Huh, I don't want money!"
Hong Yuanwai turned around and looked at Sheng Guo'er up and down carefully with a frown, thinking to himself, "If you don't want money, what will you want?"
