Chapter Three Hundred and Thirty-One Night Talks between Jiangnan People and Couples(1/2)

As soon as the matter of the Jade Seal was over, Miss Kang couldn't sit still and went directly to the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion to discuss the important matters with Miss Xiao Qin.

In fact, to put it bluntly, I was planning to give my concubine daughter to Gu Tingye as a concubine. If this matter was successful, I had to help Xiao Qin.

Looking at the Kang family lady in front of him, Xiao Qin thought to himself, "I can't help it. I want to see what you can come up with."

After some politeness, the two got to the point. Xiao Qin asked, "I don't know if I come to the door today, but what's wrong?"

When Madam Kang heard this, she felt disgusted. She didn't believe it. Xiao Qinshi didn't know what she was doing.

However, I still have to go through the process I should go through, so I said, "Oh, I can't hide anything from you."

"I'm here this time, actually to marry you." Mrs. Kang said

"Oh? Then I don't know if you want it?" Xiao Qinshi said

"Hey, I'm not watching your Erlang get married. I'm thinking about it and send him a concubine," said Mrs. Kang.

"Ah? But Erlang just got married, and it was a time when he was inseparable. It would be inappropriate to send his concubine to his room at this time."

"Besides, Erlang's wife is the county lord after all, so this matter is not easy to deal with." Xiao Qin said

"Hey, look at what you said. Is this the county lord, isn't it still your daughter-in-law? What else can she dare to have any objections to taking a concubine?" said Mrs. Kang.

"Hey, I don't dare to say that. Taking a concubine is not a trivial matter after all. Please let me think about it carefully. I'll give you news tomorrow." Xiao Qin said

"Well, that's fine, then I'll say goodbye now. I'm waiting for your good news in the mansion?" said Mrs. Kang.

"Don't hurry to leave, go back after lunch." Xiao Qin said

"No, I still have something to do this afternoon. You know, now that my niece and son-in-law have returned to Beijing, there are so many things. I have to go back and deal with it quickly." Mrs. Kang said.

Xiao Qin smiled and sent Madam Kang out of the door, then turned around and walked towards the ancestral hall. After arriving at the ancestral hall, he said to his mother: "Madam, although this Kang family is a bit domineering, she had a good idea just now. What are you?"

"This is her usual method to send someone to the room. This trick is of course useful, but now we have a better choice. How are the contacts between the Bai family in Jiangnan? Are they willing?" said Madam Qin.

"Madam, you also know that the Bai family has become the disciple of Dingxiang Hou now. Everything depends on the meaning of Dingxiang Hou." said to his mother.

"I know this. It seems that I have to think of a way to do this. Then the Kang family's skills are not bad."

"But now that they have just gotten married, these two are just tired of it. After all, it is not as good as rekindling in when they put a new partner in." Mrs. Qin said

"Uh, that old lady, what should we do next?" said Xiang Mom

"Next? Let's watch the show next. This time, if the eldest lady is offended, it will be unlucky soon. Let's wait a little longer."

"And the most important thing is to give the time to decide on the decision by Mr. Xiang to see if he plans to play that card."

"If you don't plan to do it, you can only wait, but if he figures it out, he can arrange a good show, right?" said Madam Qin.

"Madam, what are you saying, then how should I reply to her tomorrow?" said to my mother

"How to reply? How can I reply? The time is not right, let her wait for a while and wait for Jiangnan's letter." said Madam Qin.

"Oh, the eldest lady is wise. You want to wait for the Bai family to write a letter to Dingxiang Marquis. The Bai family is now counting on Dingxiang Marquis."

"They will definitely not dare to hide the matter we contacted them. You have handed over this problem again." Xiang Mom said

"Okay, since you know, then go and prepare quickly. Although he has made a contribution to the official family, he has offended the Grandma. We can't let him be idle." Grandma Qin said

Xiang's mother said nothing and just left the ancestral hall. Xiao Qin's face looked very gloomy under the candlelight.

Early the next morning, Xiang's mother set out to Kang's house. After she arrived, Miss Kang came out before she could wait for a long time.

"What? The time is not right? What does your eldest lady mean?" After hearing Xiang's mother's words, Mrs. Kang couldn't help asking.

"I don't know this little man. My eldest lady just asked me to tell you, saying that the time is not ripe."

"Well, okay, thank you for your hard work, you have traveled this time. When you go back, tell your eldest lady, and just say I will go there again in a while." Mrs. Kang said

"Okay, I will tell my eldest lady what you say, and I will take it back first." said to my mother.

Looking at Xiang’s mother who was out, Mrs. Kang felt a little confused, what does this Gu family mean? What is her so-called timing?

After thinking for a long time, she couldn't figure it out, so she got up and left the mansion and headed straight to Dingxiang Hou Mansion. She finally decided to tell Yuan Wenshu about the matter. After all, after this matter is done, there will always be a result, right?

After she arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, she was introduced into the flower hall by her servants. After a while, Yuan Wenshu arrived, and she could only bite the bullet and talk about the matter.

What surprised her was that Yuan Wenshu did not react much to this, as if he had expected that Mrs. Qin would have reacted like this.

"Auntie, I don't think about this matter. You don't have to worry about it. Jiangnan has sent a letter, and the Gu family has contacted it there."

"So, don't rush to send this gift from you. I'll give you another gift first and see what the effect is." Yuan Wenshu said.

"Ah? What I said, I said it well before, but why did you change your mind? It turned out that I was contacting Jiangnan." Mrs. Kang said

"Hmm? Could it be that my aunt knows this?" Yuan Wenshu asked.

"It's really a coincidence that I have heard about you being recruited by the disciples in Jiangnan. I guess Gu Tingye's outer room is in the hands of the Bai family, right?" Mrs. Kang said proudly.

"Oh, it seems that I still have some things. I underestimated your ability. Since you know everything, I won't hide it."

"I went to Jiangnan a few days ago and asked the Bai family to send people. In the reply, I told them about the Gu family's contact with them. I originally planned to do a two-pronged approach. It seems that the Gu family is planning to do everything step by step." Yuan Wenshu said.

"So that's the case, then I'm relieved. I thought something happened? Since that's the case, then I'm relieved." Mrs. Kang said

"Okay, aunt, please go back first. When the people from Jiangnan arrive, I will ask someone to inform you." Yuan Wenshu said.

After hearing this, Miss Kang walked out happily. Since the matter was not her, what Yuan Wenshu promised him would naturally be effective.

In less than half a month, Yuan Wenshu received news that Bai Erlang had arrived and was now living in a village outside the city.

Yuan Wenshu got up and left the mansion, rushed to the village outside the city, and after arriving at the village, he went straight to Bai Erlang's room.

When Bai Erlang saw Yuan Wenshu pushing the door, he quickly stood up and greeted him, "You little one, please see the Marquis."

"Okay, don't come here for these stupid people. Have you brought them?" Yuan Wenshu said

"Don't worry, the man has already brought him. Now he is in the wing room, I'm here to see you." Bai Erlang said

"Well, is there any news about her son?" Yuan Wenshu said

"Uh, marquis, I'm going to pay it back for now, there's no news yet." Bai Erlang said tremblingly.

"Okay, if there is no, there is no. If you ask someone to go to Kang's house to find Miss Kang tomorrow, you will tell her that the people from Jiangnan have arrived, and there is no need to say anything left." Yuan Wenshu said

"I understand, Marquis, do you have any other instructions?" Bai Erlang said

"Well, Gu Tingye knows you, so you don't show up, just stay in this village." Yuan Wenshu said

"I know the Marquis, I promise not to step out of Zhuangzi." Bai Erlang said

After hearing this, Yuan Wenshu nodded with satisfaction, then got up and was about to leave. At this time, Bai Erlang stopped him.

"Mr. Marquis, please stay. This is my brother. Let me prepare a gift for the Marquis." Bai Erlang said, taking out an envelope from his arms and handing it to Yuan Wenshu with both hands.

"Oh? I'm pretty interested." Yuan Wenshu said, then took the envelope over. Judging from the thickness, there must be at least dozens of them, but I don't know how big the denomination is.

"After you go back, you should pay attention to cultivating your children who are good at home. You should hand over this business as soon as possible." Yuan Wenshu said with some advice.

"Ah, I'm so young, thank you for your kindness." Bai Erlang quickly knelt down and said, "As soon as he heard this, Bai Erlang quickly knelt down and said.

"Okay, get up. I, Mr. Yuan, will not treat my own people badly. As long as I am loyal to do my job for this marquis, I will have everything I should have." Yuan Wenshu said

After saying that, he didn't care about Bai Erlang, but walked out. He didn't have time to delay here. Wouldn't he have time to go back to spend time with his wife?

When Yuan Wenshu arrived home, he saw his wife making tea with a calm face. Yuan Wenshu felt a bad feeling.

But he thought that he was doing things in a relatively hidden way and he shouldn't let his wife discover it, right? No matter what, Gu Tingye said, he had helped his wife before, so he could not let her know about this, so as not to make things difficult for him.

"Madam, what tea do you make this night? Don't plan to rest?" Yuan Wenshu said

"Official, where are you going this night?" Minglan said as she stood up and said

"Madam, I haven't gone anywhere, I just went to the village below to meet someone." Yuan Wenshu said

After hearing this, Minglan didn't say anything, but walked up to Yuan Wenshu to help him take off his outer robe. Yuan Wenshu looked at Minglan and said, "Madam, why don't you ask who I'm going to meet?"

"Why should I ask? What you want to say will naturally say, what you don't want to say. After I ask, what else will be besides making you embarrassed?" Minglan said

"Ah, hahaha, you are really my good wife. I really like you so much. I tell you that my wife, someone from Jiangnan has come, I have sent me something." Yuan Wenshu said.

After saying that, he took out the envelope and handed it to his wife and said, "Madam, please help me see how much is inside? I'm anxious to come back along the way but haven't read it yet."

Minglan took the envelope and looked inside, and found that it was all silver notes. When looking at the thickness of the envelope, she knew that it must be not a small number.

He hurriedly returned the envelope to Yuan Wenshu and said, "You should read it yourself, I'm afraid I can't sleep after reading it."

"Haha, what can't sleep here? Come on, my wife, let's open it together." Yuan Wenshu said, pulled Minglan and sat down.

After Yuan Wenshu sat down, he took out all the silver notes in the envelope, and then divided them into two parts and said, "Madam, let's see how much it costs together."

When Minglan saw this attitude, she knew that she could not escape, so she picked up her share and counted it. It didn't matter if this number was counting, and the denomination of the silver bill scared her.

She found that these were actually 10,000 taels of silver notes. Looking at the ones in her hand, she roughly estimated that there were more than twenty.

In addition to the ones in the hands of his own officials, the total amount is probably no less than 500,000 taels. The first time I saw Minglan, who had so many silver notes, was stunned.

Yuan Wenshu looked at it for a long time and was waiting for his wife to speak, but there was no sound for a long time. She looked up and saw that his wife was in a daze.

Yuan Wenshu put his hand in front of her and shook it, "Madam, Madam? What's wrong with you? Why do you look so cute?"

"Ah? Oh, I haven't counted yet, wait for me for a while." Minglan said slowly.

"Hahaha, madam, you haven't seen so much money before? Is that just now? Hahaha." Yuan Wenshu said
