Hexi

Chapter 274
Qin Ye hasn't shown his face since the showdown with Su Shou last time in the inn. Earlier, Han Mo told him to keep an eye on the Chen family. Now the brothers of the Chen family have been detained, and his father, Chen Yin, has also been called back to Beijing. Waiting for the trial, not to mention that Qin Huo would not agree to his daughter marrying into the Chen family, even Qin Yao, who wished to sell his sister on the scale, could not force Qin Rong, so Qin Ye naturally had nothing to do .

But because Su Wei revealed her identity in front of Su Shou, and she has no plans to sell the locks, Su Qi became curious: "Why should I go to find Qin Ye?"

Su Wei said: "I remember that there are several sons in the Chang family, you can ask him if he is familiar with the Chang family, the left servant of the Ministry of War."

Su Qi still doesn't know the level of the Chang family: "What's the matter with the Chang family?"

"If you are familiar with me, let him come to me. If you are not familiar with me, he is not a good friend, so let him find a way to get in touch with the Chang family."

"You want to contact the Chang family?"

Su Wei lost her patience: "What are you talking about like that? I'll tell you, and you just do it."

"It's not that I'm talking too much, I just want to say, if you want to get in touch with the Chang family, why not just ask Su Zhen?"

"Brother Zhen?"

"That's right," Su Qi slapped his hands, "You forgot that at that time, Su Zhen always socialized outside, with Chang He, the eldest son of Chang Shilang, and Sun Yan, the second son of Sun Lisun, the servant of the Ministry of Rites. We have frequent contacts."

With his reminder, Su Wei immediately remembered that Su Zhen used to make friends with officials' children to prepare himself for a way out, and it was only after he quarreled with the Rong family in the restaurant that he restrained himself.Thinking of this, she asked: "Is he still reclusive recently, or is he out and about again?"

Su Qi snorted when he heard the words: "Didn't he stop for a while, and then Mr. Song came to the mansion. The third uncle looked at him, and he couldn't go out. But because the Rong family didn't come to the door, The day he didn't go to school, he still hang out with those kids. I heard that he had a drink with Chang He the other day."

"Really," Su Wei raised her brows, "Then how's their friendship?"

"It's okay. Mr. Chang is very gentle and elegant. Isn't their Chang family very prestigious and their family style is also good. Anyway, I heard Brother Zhen say that they get together five times out of ten. Even if He was bragging, so he was called four or five times. If he can participate four or five times out of ten, he is treated favorably.”

When Su Wei heard about it, she took out a bank note from the drawer: "Then you go to Su Zhen, next time there is a game where Chang He is also there, you go too. Here is 50 taels of silver, use it for entertainment, be sure to tell Chang He Make friends directly. When you run out of money, come and ask me for it, but remember, you have to come back and report to me every detail about Chang He and even the Chang family."

Su Qi received 50 taels of "huge money" and went there happily.

Fusang walked over and said: "The Chang family really pretended to be very good, even the second master and the others deeply think that the Chang family is upright."

Su Wei frowned: "Since Chang He thinks highly of even Su Zhen, Su Qi, the eldest son of Su's family, should be treated even more courteously."

Fusang looked at her: "Could it be that Han Shizi asked the girl to do this?"

Su Wei glanced at her, and walked back into the room: "Why should he say that? He is too conspicuous. Going close to the Chang family right now will definitely arouse the Chang family's vigilance. Since Su Zhen already has friendship with Chang He, it is easier to hide .”

Fu Sang followed him in: "But those who murdered the son at Yangliu Village that night, they must have known that the girl and the son have a deep friendship. If these people are really Chang Wei's subordinates, wouldn't it be in vain?"

"Then how could it be?" Su Wei said, "You think that Chang He thinks highly of Su Zhen, and it's really just the world's way of life?"

Fusang paused: "What is that?"

Su Luo smiled: "Of course they think the Su family has something worth wooing."

……

Chang He came back from the Imperial College and entered the main room with the book in his arms.

Mrs. Chang was chatting and laughing with the young maid beside her. When she saw Chang He, she waved to him: "It will be your birthday in half a month. Come and take a look at the banquet list. Sister Rong and I are here to give you this Can it be done?"

Chang He took a look, and replied with a smile: "Mother Zhang Luo, so there is nothing to say." After Mrs. Chang smiled, he said: "It's just this year, don't waste it. Father is a high-ranking person, I don't know How many people are staring at our house, I am a young man, and it is easy to attract criticism for such a scene."

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Chang replied to him, and then said to the maid beside her, "Sister Rong, go down first."

After the woman bowed and stepped back, she continued: "I just have a family banquet at home, and I don't receive courtesy from outsiders, so how can I be criticized?
"It's not that you don't know why I am. Your father is the second son in the family. No matter how powerful he is, in the future, your grandparents will still pass on the family property to your uncle.

"It's a shame that our second wife has won so much glory for the Chang family. Every year, your grandparents still only give it to the elder brother, Brother Yun. What's the reason? It's because he is the eldest son of the eldest son, and because your uncle's legs are for you later. Father is lame.

"I don't care much about the Chang family's ancestral property. What matters is that we value it. Who can deny face to our second room outside? Every time we are in the upper room, we have to be humble. Even if your uncle has a lame leg, I've had enough. This is your birthday, I will definitely make it up for you, to relieve the aggrieved energy in my heart."

As Mrs. Chang said, her resentment could no longer be concealed.

Chang He was silent for a moment, and said: "But at this moment, my father will not allow it."

Mrs. Chang paused slightly: "Why? Could it be that something happened in the court?"

"No. It's just that the father always teaches the children that the taller they stand, the more they should keep a low profile. The partiality of grandparents is nothing to worry about. Mother should take a long-term view."

Chang He always spoke softly, and Mrs. Chang couldn't say any more.He asked again, "What are you doing here?"

"Cheng Yi of the Sun family wants to form a couplet poem. It just so happens that their old lady is meditating in the garden and there is no space. I think that the Qingzhuzhai where my mother usually eats tea is quiet and spacious, so I want to use it."

Mrs. Chang frowned slightly: "That's the place where I usually entertain the female relatives, how can I let you mess around?"

Chang He laughed and said: "It's absolutely impossible to mess around, they are all good friends on weekdays, and there is only one new addition, who is also Su Shaoqing's son."

"Su Shaoqing's son?" Mrs. Chang stretched her body slightly, "I heard that their son is not a quiet brother."

"That's all in the past. Now he is a disciple of that great Confucianist from the Song family, and his status is even more noble. I heard that he is very smart and his writing is good. He is better than the adopted son of the third house of the Su family. How many."

Mrs. Chang's eyes flickered slightly: "Then why is he here this time?"

Chang He held a pot of orchids next to him, and said in a slow voice: "They are very familiar with the Song family now, and after hearing that the third son of the Song family said that he would come too, they proposed to come with Brother Zhen, and I Is there any reason not to?"
