Chapter 97
This is a street in Beicheng. The whole street is full of merchants traveling from north to south and purchasing managers from various prefectures. It can be said that this street is full of pawns and buyers. Coincidentally, the business on this street The business is not very big, the big business is negotiated in restaurants or brothels, and the people who come here are small businesses or mid-to-lower businesses, but there are many managers in the rich and powerful mansions, because a mansion except In addition to the purchase of the largest piece, there is more or less some soup left for these small businessmen.

And the reason why Liang Yimei fell in love with this street is that there are people of all kinds and ranks on this street, and there are no big restaurants along the way, just small stalls, and most people bring some dry food with them. But if the summer is okay, the winter will be a bit uncomfortable, and the people here are not short of the money to eat, but the people who run restaurants look down on this place, and the people who read books here have no money...

Liang Yimei wanted to run her own business, she didn't want to make people jealous, at least she couldn't make people who are richer and more powerful than her jealous, so she chose this place, no matter how good her business is here, those nobles probably wouldn't like it , not a noble person, she is not afraid, the most important thing is that you can get all kinds of information here, whether it is to find their enemies, inquire about Liang Yimu's news, or lay the foundation for Liang Yilin's future official career, information is very important Yes, so she plans to open a restaurant.

But to collect information, one must have a trustworthy person, so she sent a letter to Uncle Qin through the post station, asking him to arrange things there and bring Fifth Grandpa and Fifth Grandma to Beijing. Both she and Liang Yilin didn't want to take Fifth Grandpa and Fifth Grandma with them and said they didn't know where the enemy was, for fear of implicating the two old people. Grandma may not be useful, so it is better to bring the two old people with you, so that there are problems to watch, maybe it will be more safe.

Considering that Fifth Grandpa and Fifth Grandma were unwilling to leave Quanzhou County, Liang Yimei wrote another letter with the title alone, saying that the two of them had many things they couldn't do in the capital, and that the second elder brother might be married in the capital because of his age.

The marriage of the two brothers and sisters has always been the heart disease of the fifth grandpa and the fifth grandma. When they were in Quanzhou County, the fifth grandma kept proposing marriage to them. Liang Yimei didn't want to get married at all, so she didn't read any of the people she introduced, and just followed Liang Yilin.Taking this as an issue now, Fifth Grandma will definitely come to Beijing.

Liang Yimei guessed right. When Fifth Grandpa and Fifth Grandma received her letter, Fifth Grandma sighed: "I have already said that I want to marry each other, but these two children insisted on not agreeing. Now it's all right. Are you in a hurry? No way. , I have to go to Beijing quickly." As he spoke, he got up to pack his things.

Qin Shu also finished reading the letter and stopped him: "The road is not easy to travel now. When Mr. Xu came last time, he said that they would also go to Beijing. I heard that they will leave in ten days. Why don't we go with them and travel like this?" There is also a follow-up."

Grandma Wu said: "They were too slow. They said they were going to the capital when they came eight days ago. Why are they still here?"

Fifth Grandfather took a puff of dry smoke and said: "What do you know, Xiaoxin brought three sons and a lot of things, not to mention that the shop here has to be arranged before starting, so naturally it will be slower. Look, just do as Xiao Qin said."

Qin Shu smiled and said: "Miss wants you to walk slowly, it doesn't matter if you walk for a month or two, I'm afraid you will get tired and get sick on the way."

"What's the matter? The two of them didn't help in the capital. Brother Lin is going to take an exam, and Meizi is a girl. I think we have to go to Beijing quickly." Fifth Grandma's attitude was very insistent.

Qin Shu said: "I've thought about this a long time ago. I'll take a steward and let steward Zhou go with you. How about it?"

Fifth Grandfather made a decision and said: "That's it. You bring people to Beijing to help them first. I think you can leave the day after tomorrow. Your mother will leave it to us. We have to pack up and leave with Xiaoxin in ten days."

The real headache is that when packing things, Grandma Fifth is reluctant to leave anything behind, so she has to take almost everything with her. Fortunately, Grandpa Fifth suppressed it, otherwise Liang Yimei would not be as simple as three carts of things when she received them I'm afraid there are even spatulas and the like...

The Shen family took back the store and handed it over to Liang Yimei. Liang Yimei slightly changed the layout of the "Duo Lexuan" in Quanzhou County, arranged the store well, and customized kitchen utensils. Knowing that he was going to come over in person, he breathed a sigh of relief, so he temporarily put aside the business of the shop and concentrated on taking care of Liang Yilin.

On the fourth day of February, five days before Chunwei, Liang Yimei took the list that Shang Zhiqing wrote to her and went to the street to buy all kinds of things Liang Yilin needed for the exam. When Liang Yimei received the long list, she and Liang Yilin sighed Dao: Fortunately, they have acquaintances, otherwise they really don't know that there are so many things to prepare for the exam. Liang Yilin checked with Chen Liyan and Feng Jianjie again, and handed it over to Liang Yimei after confirming that it was correct.

The basket for putting pen and ink is to be designed, and the pen and ink also have specifications. In case of emergency, Liang Yimei also prepared two copies. Most of the food in the examination room is cold, so you have to bring your own flint. The examination room is damp and there are mosquitoes , have to prepare anti-mosquito and anti-insect medicine...

Liang Yimei took the list and searched for the same thing. This street is the street where the Imperial College is located. All the things that candidates need are sold along the way. She haggled with others after choosing the things, because she was a girl, so she bargained. It's also neat, unlike the scholars who dropped their book bags for a long time before they can determine the price, so those people have a good impression of her, and they know a lot of things along the way.

Hongmei stared at the woman in the blue dress in front of her for a long time, and Wenzhu on the side had long since grown impatient, and said, "Are you going or not? We still have a lot to buy."

Hongmei's complexion changed, and she forced a smile and said, "Sister, I suddenly have a stomachache, why don't you go shopping first, I'll catch up later."

Wenzhu glanced at her, curled her lips and said, "Then hurry up!"

Hongmei nodded, watching Wenzhu walk for a while, and then hurriedly turned her head to look for the figure from behind. She hurried forward, ignoring everyone's eyes, and her eyes were only on that figure, and seeing that figure was about to turn, Hongmei Mei was very anxious, but she didn't dare to shout, so she could only step up her pace.

Liang Yimei put the newly bought things into the basket and said, "A Tao, let's see how much we still need? Why do I feel like I bought everything? It seems like I'm missing some."

A Tao looked behind and said, "Miss, I feel like someone was watching us just now."

Liang Yimei continued to rummage through things and said, "Everyone on the street is full of people. We are girls, what's so strange about others looking at us more? Hurry up and help me find out what else is missing?"

"No, Miss..." Before she finished speaking, someone bumped her body, and A Tao's body involuntarily leaned towards Liang Yimei. Liang Yimei's whole body and mind were in the basket, and when she was bumped suddenly, she sat down immediately On the ground, A Tao was shocked, and hurried forward to support Liang Yimei, while angrily said: "You don't have eyes... Hongmei?"

Liang Yimei patted the dust off her body, raised her head when she heard the cry, and saw Hongmeihong staring at her with circles in her eyes. When she saw her, she cried and threw herself to her knees: "Miss Liang!"

Liang Yimei was taken aback, and said: "Hongmei, what's wrong with you? Why are you here, where's your lady?" When she said this, her expression changed, and she said: "When I first arrived in the capital, I was given a Your family handed over the post, but then you forgot about it when you were busy, and your lady never replied, did something happen to her?"

Hongmei lost a lot of weight compared to before, her face was pale, she was pulled up by Atao and looked behind, she stopped crying and said: "Miss Liang, this servant is not alone, if they don't go back later, they will be suspicious , Miss did not receive your post, it is estimated that it was detained by the people in the house."

Liang Yimei's face turned cold, why did she take it off?Who took it?
"Miss is not doing well, and I can't leave the house easily now. Tomorrow is the fifth day of the lunar new year. Miss will go to Baiyun Temple to offer incense. Here, pray for the young master..." Hongmei said hurriedly, and someone outside was already calling " Red plum".

Hongmei didn't dare to speak any more, she just looked at her eagerly, Liang Yimei nodded, and said: "Tomorrow, I happen to go to pray for my brother." Then she reached out and took the money from A Tao and stuffed it to her, "Here, This is your reward."

Hongmei was about to shed tears, choked with sobs and nodded, then turned around and strode out of the corner, walking towards her companions, Liang Yimei hid in the shadows and watched their backs disappear, then turned her head gloomyly, A Tao He just stood respectfully behind Liang Yimei, and after a long time, Liang Yimei said: "Let Wanchang go and inquire about the Jin family, don't tell brother about it when you get back, if brother asks, tell me that I'm going to Baiyun Temple tomorrow to pray for him .” After thinking for a while, he said, “Bring A Guo tomorrow.”

Ah Guo has great strength, and has learned kung fu from others for a few days. The young lady has never taken her out.

A Tao nodded, and carefully followed Liang Yimei back.

"Jin Liangzhen's knowledge is good, and he looks like the wind and the moon. He is very popular in the Imperial College. Young Mistress Jin has a son and a daughter in the mansion for three years. Now she has a concubine." Wan Chang said in shame: "Other The little ones can't figure it out."

In such a short period of time, it would be nice to be able to inquire about these things. Anyway, we will know tomorrow what the situation is.She said, "How's the family style of the Jin family?"

Wan Chang heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "The Jin family is a scholarly family, and the reputation outside is good. It is said that his family is strict in family management, and there are few conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."

Liang Yimei thought of the Hongmei she just saw today, she lost a lot of weight, her face was not at all energetic, and her face turned cold, she was afraid that people outside would not know, so even if she was asking for justice, she would have nowhere to ask go.
