Chapter 74
The dusk was heavy, and a rush of horseshoes stopped abruptly.
“Master, here it is.” Yang Zong whispered.
The man leaning on the edge of the car slowly opened his eyes, and then, if nothing had happened, he got out of the carriage and entered the gate of the town government office.
It was getting dark, Lu Yan entered the clean room early, and the heat was lingering, the man’s forehead blue veins bulged, and his eyes were full of sullen and frustration. In the silence, he breathed heavier than the other.
Suiyu’s words suddenly sounded in his ears-just as the saying goes that the clothes are not as good as the newcomers, the childhood sweethearts are back, are you panicking?
He suddenly sneered, and tried hard to get her father back to the court, but what about her?
Tears at another man?
What’s the matter, are you overjoyed when you meet again after a long time?
After the lights were turned off, the man was secretly grinding his teeth.
Early the next morning, the mist cleared and the sun rose.
Lu Yan had eaten breakfast, stopped the chopsticks, got up, and whispered to Yang Zong, “Have you a letter?”
Yang Zong swallowed, squeezed his sweat and said, “The subordinates haven’t received it yet.” God knows, Yang Zong’s neck has been wooden after looking at the sky in the past two days.
Hearing this, a smile appeared at the corner of Lu Yan’s mouth.
It’s very good.
Lu Yan picked up the black yarn and strode out, Yang Zong slapped his face against the gloomy figure.
These days, it must have been difficult…
——
In the seventeenth year of Yuanqing, the first day of June, Changan West City.
Shen Zhen opened the door of Baixiang Pavilion early in the morning.
Summer is the best time to sell items such as scented powder and powder. Due to time constraints, Shen Zhen only adjusted more than 30 bottles of scented powder and opened it.
While fiddling with the furnishings, Qingxi said: “Girl, the cabinet on the left side is still empty, but you want to use the stock in the warehouse?”
Shen Zhen shook his head, “No, the fragrance powder in the warehouse has been around for a long time, and the flavor is not as strong as before. Here I plan to grow some flowers to sell.”
“flowers?”
“Yes, when I was in Yangzhou, I found that flowers are very popular nowadays, and the profits are extremely high. A magnolia flower can be sold for three thousand dollars if it looks like a little bit. I don’t count it. If I sell peonies in Chang’an, maybe It can be sold for five thousand dollars.”
Qingxi smiled and said, “Unexpectedly, the girl still has a talent for business.”
Shen Zhen held his cheeks and sighed.
If it weren’t for the eight thousand guanxis last year, she was almost forced to sign a contract to sell her, and now she would not think about making money every day.
Speaking of it, since Shen Zhen refused the “Hongmen Banquet”, he has been anxious, and his right eyelid has been dancing for two days.
She raised her hand and pressed her eyes.
Qingxi said, “Girl, what’s wrong with your eyes?”
“The right eyelid keeps jumping, I always feel that something bad is coming to my door.”
Qingxi immediately said: “Girl, what you say is always good but not bad, you can’t talk nonsense!”
However, before Qingxi’s words fell to the ground, Shen Zhen saw Sun Mi walking in with her two wives and two maids wearing skirts. She looked around and said casually: “I heard about the exquisite objects here. Came here to check it out.”
Shen Zhen got up and whispered: “I don’t know which Mi likes?” Before the Yunyang Hou Mansion, Shen Zhen always called her second girl grandson very politely, but Sun Mi felt that she was not close enough, so she forced Shen Zhenhuan. She is a mi.
Sun Mi’s father used to be only a fifth-grade adviser. Compared with Shen Zhen’s birthplace, he was obviously a little behind. Therefore, the closer Shen Zhen called her, the more difficult it would be for those noble daughters to give her. Sun Mi looked at her face.
But in less than a year of effort, Sun Mi became the daughter of the Shangshu of the Third Grade Ministry of Industry, while Shen Zhen became the daughter of the criminal minister. Her status was changed. Hearing this Ah Mi would inevitably pierce her ears…
Sun Mi raised her lips and smiled, thinking that Shen Zhen was deliberately trying to get close to her, so he took some more powdered rouge from the cabinet, “I can’t figure it out. I have all of these, you can count the total number.”
Shen Zhen bowed his head, fiddled with the abacus symbolically, and said, “Ten Guan.”
Sun Mi’s eyes narrowed, “Shi Guan? Shen Zhen, I will take care of your business with kindness. Are you stealing money?”
“Mi, you have a unique vision. The ones you hold in your hand happen to be the most elegant fragrances here. Naturally… they are more expensive than the others.” Shen Zhen’s tone of voice can be described as extremely sincere.
Mi Sun took a deep breath and said okay, and then gritted her teeth to the grandmother on the side: “Give her the money.”
The woman glared her eyes and threw Shen Zhen ten thousand dollars.
Sun Mi roared away, but Qingxi smiled, “The girl is so powerful, she turned her things several times in a blink of an eye and sold it to Miss Sun.”
Shen Zhen stayed there, with a solemn expression. After a long time, she said: “This second girl from the Sun family is not just entering Beijing, nor is it her first time on the streets. She knows how much these things are worth. There are less than two flavors of spices, I deliberately sold her ten combs, all ten combs, everyone knows that the price is high, so why would she buy them?”
After hearing this, Qingxi Daigo gave an initiation and hurriedly said, “Could it be that she has a reason to buy it?”
Shen Zhen nodded and slowly said, “Although I can’t guess the reason, I know that with Sun Mi’s temperament, she will never come here today to give me money.”
At this time, Qingxi’s face was not good.
After a long silence, Shen Zhen said slowly: “Let’s record the fragrance powder in the cabinet one by one. From now on, if anyone comes to buy the fragrance powder from Baixiangge, let them try it out and sign it before leaving. ”
“The girl means that the second girl from the Sun family is going to use the powder?”
“This is just my guessing…”
She just suddenly remembered that there was a person who suddenly rushed into her Baixiang Pavilion with a group of Ya Li and three doctors. It must be said that there was a problem with her fragrance…
——
Xu Mansion.
Xu Lianyi, the fourth girl from the Xu family, was having tea and playing chess with Xu Yiqing.
A servant girl bowed and said, “Go back to the fourth girl, the seventh girl, and the spies came back and said that the second girl from the Sun family just went to the Baixiang Pavilion in West Market.”
Xu Lianyi shook the tea cup and said, “Is this silly girl doing something too obvious? If it really causes trouble, it won’t end well, Qing’er, why don’t you mention something?”
“Sun Mi is not stupid.” Xu Yiqing smiled.
“how do I say this?”
Xu Yiqing said, “Yin Sun Xu, the young man of Jingzhao Mansion, that’s her second brother.”
“I have forgotten this, but how do I remember that their two families are not close together.” Xu Lianyi said.
“If you don’t get close, they will all have the surname Sun. The ancestor’s kind of thin face, I still have to give it.”
Xu Lianyi said, “What if it is protected by the East Palace?”
“The evidence is there, how to protect it? Once the Donggong side protects it, isn’t it equivalent to giving the Shen family a head start? The Shen family’s case was decided by the saint himself in order to quell the people’s anger. The Donggong wants to reverse the case. Xu Yiqing paused, and then said: “We don’t want to deal with the Shen family. It’s good for the Sun family to do it. Anyway, everyone knows that Sun Shangshu is incompetent, and it is not comparable to the Yunyanghou of the year.”
As the years got older, Xu Yiqing became more and more aware that the thoughts between this daughter’s family, whether it is jealous, hate, appreciation, or admiration, are nothing at all when placed in front of the family’s righteousness.
Whether it is an enemy or a friend, it is all taking advantage of the trend.
Just like Sun Mi, everyone thinks that Sun Mi is stupid and only knows that she is in a mess. In fact, it is not. In other words, there are not many fools in this world. If the Sun family can be as deep and prosperous as the Xu family, she does not need to be pushed as a pawn. Push away.
Xu Lianyi squeezed Xu Yiqing’s nose, “No wonder the empress empress always says you are transparent!”
Xu Yiqing rubbed his nose, “Sister Si will marry King Wei next year. I am obviously for you.”
“You are really begging!”
——
After several days passed, Shen Zhen’s Baixiangge was silent.
This made her think that she was saving the abdomen of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, thinking too much.
But on the morning of the fourth day of June, Shen Zhen had just trimmed a pot of peonies, and he saw Sun Mi pulling a handmaid with an abscessed face and walking in aggressively, “Shen Zhen, I trust you so much for nothing. There are so many in Chang’an City. If you don’t do the business of the Jiaxiang powder shop, just come to do yours, and you use such a trick to cheat me!”
As soon as the voice fell, Qingxi and Shen Zhen looked at each other.
Shen Zhen stepped forward and whispered: “What’s the matter?”
Sun Mi said with blushing eyes: “What’s the matter? You still have the face to ask? A couple of days ago, I bought rouge powder from you, and then I rewarded my personal servant girl, but you can look at her! Her face is still Can you have it?”
“I hired a doctor for him, but the doctor said that the medicine is too strong and it can’t be cured at all!”
There are more and more people watching the excitement around.
“Shen Zhen, I came to take care of your business only because of my old friendship, but I didn’t expect you to be so vicious!”
Shen Zhen squeezed the palm of Qingxi’s palm, “I am puzzled by one thing, so please ask Miss Sun to help me out.”
“Say!” Sun Mi said.
“I ruined your face. What good is it for me? I won’t have my reputation after that? Can I still do business? Since this matter is harmful to me, why should I do it?”
“This is just the rhetoric you thought of from the beginning!” Sun Mi said with tears, “Yes, I admit that I have had a lot of unpleasantness with you, but if you have complaints, you can tell me directly. You don’t need to do this. Hurt me!”
“If you want to add a crime, there is nothing wrong with it.”
Sun Mi said to the maid beside him, “Go to Jingzhao Mansion! Report to me!”
“Personal evidence and physical evidence are there, I want to see how you deny it!” Sun Mi said.
No matter how Shen Zhen pretended to be calm, she was still flustered in her heart, but when Sun Mi said she was going to report to Jingzhao Mansion, her heart suddenly fell back to where she was, as if a pool of calm. Lake water.
After half an hour, there was a sound outside, and Shen Zhen and Sun Mi looked out together.
The person who came is Sun Xu.
Shen Zhen met him once on the day he painted a portrait of the Song family’s daughter.
Sun Mi stepped forward and said, “Second brother.”
Sun Xu frowned and said solemnly: “Second girl, I’m handling the case.”
When Sun Mi saw that Sun Xu didn’t mean to favor her, he started to cry deliberately, looking like she wanted to cry, obviously she wanted to lose her mind.
After explaining the situation, Sun Mi pointed to the handmaid’s face, choked up and said: “My lord, if A Mi didn’t give the powder he bought to his handmaid that day, today! A Mi would be like this! If the ancestor knew , I don’t know how distressed it will be.”
Sun Xu’s temple jumped. When the two families were separated, they just didn’t want to get involved in the affairs of the second uncle’s house. It’s better now, that is, they are hiding and still have to be threatened by this stall.
Sun Xu frowned and said, “Is there any physical evidence?”
“Yes!” Sun Mi cast a look, and the woman next to her immediately took out some bottles.
“My lord, this is all our girl bought in this Baixiangge.”
Sun Xu said again: “Can anyone prove it?”
Sun Mi looked around and said, “Master Sun, aren’t these all?”
“Can you count your own maid-in-law?” Sun Xu said.
With cold eyes, Sun Mi hurriedly greeted the people outside and said, “This is the shopkeeper of the jewelry store next door. She was there on the day I shopped.”
“You are talking nonsense! This is malicious planting!” Qingxi said from the side.
“Is it planted? Is it possible that you have the final say?
It is really difficult to deal with personal evidence and physical evidence.
Sun Xu raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and said, “Since the evidence is there, please ask Miss Shen to follow the officer.”
Hearing that, Qingxi stretched out his hand to pull the drawer, ready to take out the physical evidence they prepared, but Shen Zhen squeezed her hand.
Softly said: “Okay, I’ll take a trip with the adults.”
The author has something to say: Sun Xu: People nowadays actively ask to enter the game?
Shen Zhen: It is the duty of every Changan citizen to cooperate with the government in handling the case.
