The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 141 Grievance

"Master Hou, shall we go back home now?" Gao Jun asked sitting outside the carriage after seeing off Li Tai and Princess Jinyang.

Xuan Shijing in the carriage was exhausted, so he changed into a comfortable position and leaned in the carriage, and said, "Go to Shangpinfang."

"Okay." Gao Jun replied, and drove the carriage to Shangpinfang.

After leaving for so many years, I don't know how my family's business is doing. Although I don't have to worry about food and drink, I still have to know the details of my own business.

"Young Lord, it's getting late, can't you go to Shangpinfang tomorrow? Your body has just receded from the fever this morning, so how can you make such a fuss." Long'er said with some complaints.

"No way, Long'er, I'm going to Dali Temple to report tomorrow morning. Although it's a name, it's okay not to show up. Don't be idle tomorrow morning. You go to the Imperial College and ask about Gu Yuancheng , I'll go there in person in the afternoon." Xuan Shijing rubbed his forehead and said, "I'm really busy when I come back."

"Long'er can handle the letter delivery together." Long'er was curious, why would my Lord Marquis go there personally for a letter?

"Sending a letter to Gu Yuancheng is one thing, the main thing is, I want to visit my cousin." Xuan Shijing said with a smile.

"Master Xuanqing?" Long'er said, "I forgot that, Master Xuanqing also attended the Imperial College."

"I didn't expect him to be so promising that he could be admitted to the Imperial College, but I'm curious. After more than ten years, how could my mother allow their family to live in the Hou Mansion." Xuan Shijing said with a smile. I have never lived for such a long time.

On the night when I just returned to Chang'an, I was chatting with Mrs. Wang in the room, and they talked about Xuan Lindao and his wife. There were not many outsiders in the Hou's mansion, except for Xiaolian's mother and son, they were Xuan Lindao's family. The person who poisoned Xuan Shijing's food back then was none other than Xiaolian.

At first I heard that it was Xiaolian who poisoned her, but Xuan Shijing refused to believe it. Xiaolian and her mother were brought back to the Marquis Mansion on the way back from the fief. Strictly speaking, Xuan Shijing was a life-saving grace to them. How could Xiao Lian poison Xuan Shijing with revenge.

According to Wang, when Xiao Lian followed Sun Simiao, she learned a lot of medicine, and her mother's medicine cost a lot of money, because the other party gave her a lot of money, so she poisoned Xuan Shijing, Xiao Lian said When the man took the medicine, she just told her that these medicines could not kill Xuan Shijing, but only made him feel uncomfortable for two days. Xiao Lian also checked it, and it was indeed an ordinary medicine, not poisonous, so she had the courage to take it The medicine was put in Xuan Shijing's meal.

Hearing this, Xuan Shijing finally understood. Yuan Shoucheng told him that the poison in his body was not ordinary toxins, but mixed poisons. There will be no problem with Jing, but if it is mixed with other things, these medicines will become highly poisonous and kill Xuan Shijing, which means that the food on the table back then was not only Xuan Shijing's food. The box was drugged by Xiao Lian, and other meals may have been tampered with.

What I can't figure out is how Li Yuanjing came into contact with Xiao Lian. I heard from his own mother that Xuan Qing was very close to Xiao Lian when he was not in the Imperial Prison, so he sent someone to investigate the relationship between Xuan Lindao's family. Those dignitaries in Chang'an, this investigation really found some clues.

Among most of the dignitaries that Xuan Lindao made friends with, more than half sent people to visit the Hou's mansion at night after Xuan Shijing was poisoned. Let's see what's going on with them, but since Xuan Shijing left, Xuan Lindao's family has hardly moved. Xuan Lindao just went out to drink tea all day long, and invited a few friends to eat, while Li's It is embroidering at home, and the clothes look like a good wife and mother, but it may be more comforting if the two do not use the rules of the Hou Mansion.

Xuan Shijing never saw Xiaolian in the mansion again, and Mrs. Wang refused to tell Xuan Shijing what Xiaolian's final ending would be, but he also probably knew in his heart that Xiaolian was either expelled from the Hou's mansion, or might have died. gone.

It is impossible for the angry Wang family to let go of this woman who poisoned her son.

Poor people must have something to hate.

Because of her own mother's words, Xuan Shijing also noticed Xuan Lindao's family. Since Xuan Lindao and his family came to Chang'an to live in the Hou's Mansion, Xuan Shijing felt that this family did not seem to have good intentions. But they hid it quite well. Now that it's involved, there should be a break. From the previous generation to this generation, let's calculate the grievances and grievances together. Taking this opportunity to send a letter to Gu Yuancheng, Xuan Shi Jing went to meet Xuan Qing for a while, anyway, more than ten years have passed, and even Xuan Qing didn't recognize her when they met, so that's just right.

While Xuan Shijing was thinking, the carriage had already parked steadily at the door of Shangpinfang.

The front door of Shangpinfang can be regarded as a deserted place. Walking inside, the shelves are already empty, and there is only a waiter in the whole store, and there is a pile of money living on the second floor.

Under the guidance of the handyman, Xuan Shijing followed Long'er and Gao Jun up to the second floor, and arrived at the room where Qiandui used to meet with various shopkeepers on weekdays.

After sitting down for a while, Qiandui opened the door and walked in.

"Young Lord." Qian Dui was a little excited when he saw Xuan Shijing sitting on the edge of the table: "You have finally returned safely."

Xuan Shijing laughed and scolded: "Come on, I'm afraid you will have received the news when I arrived at Erxian Village."

After more than ten years, Qiandui has become more mature and stable, but like Gao Jun, he is still a single dog. Gao Jun and Long'er are a little bit like this guy, but this guy is really a bachelor. Children from other families come to Qiandui At this age, children can go to school.

This can't be good for Qiandui. In the past ten years, several big businessmen have thrown olive branches to Qiandui. As long as Qiandui no longer guards the shop, they can marry their daughters to him and let Qiandui take care of their own business. , It's much better than being in a dilapidated Hou's mansion, and these people were all rejected by Qiandui without exception.

What a joke, dilapidated Hou Mansion?Is the dilapidation you see on the surface really dilapidated?
"Come and sit down, let's talk about the business affairs of the Hou Mansion in the past few years, and how it has developed when I was away." Xuan Shijing called Qian Dui to sit down.

The handyman downstairs made a pot of good tea and brought it up. After the servant left, the money pile slowly came.

"Master Hou, don't look at our family's business on the surface is almost out of business, but behind the scenes, our Shengtang Group has grown a lot, and I have acquired a large area around Xuanwu Lake. Now we The headquarters of the chamber of commerce in the mansion has already moved there, and people outside don't know about these things. Before, the young master said that our headquarters should have a bigger appearance, but in the past few years, in order to try to hide it, we have not done it with much fanfare. I think You can make up your mind when you come back, Young Master. In addition, my subordinates have found out one thing, that is, the Xuanwu Huo in Xuanwu Lake is the property of King Jing Li Yuanjing, and now the people under him are starting to buy it. "Qian Dui told Xuan Shijing about the current general situation.

I forgot to ask for a recommendation again, so I will fill in. Sorrow.
