The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 195
"Master Duan's words are puzzling, Southeast business? I've never heard of it."

Commander Duan grinned: "Look at my brother's temper. Just now, he turned his face on the big brother. Speaking of which, we have been friends for many years. When I joined the army, I would like to thank Lord Shangshu for his care."

Song Chen sneered in his heart, today he has seen what it means to push an inch, and what it means to forget one's righteousness at the sight of profit.At that time, he went around begging his grandpa to sue his grandma for promotion, and it was all because of his father's strength. If it wasn't for this, Song Chen wouldn't bother to pay attention to him at all.Unexpectedly, Duan was a Zhongshan wolf, and immediately became rampant as soon as he got his wish, and the lion opened his mouth to ask for [-]% of the share.

For two components, it is three to forty thousand taels of snowflake silver in one year.He is not afraid of burning his hands and feet.

Song Chen said coldly: "Since Mr. Duan still remembers this friendship, he should understand the rules of our family. What our Song family hates the most are people who break their promises and act ungratefully."

Commander Duan didn't get angry, he just smiled and said, "I dare not offend the Song family if I offend anyone, right? Besides, Mr. Song is so kind to me, but Brother Song, then again, you can't eat alone, can you? The admiral has been operating in the southeast for these years, we dare not covet what he has in his hands, but after all he is old, Rang Xian should also give up some benefits, so that everyone can taste the sweetness. My brother was born and died, rescued the old admiral, and got a big head Nothing to say, but my brother and I have a thick skin, and want to ask for some leftovers from my brother."

Song Chen snorted, "It seems that Lord Duan has inquired clearly a long time ago. I almost forgot that Lord Duan's father-in-law is the prefect of Yueyang. I'm afraid that's where the news came from. However, Lord Duan's appetite is too big." It's too big, [-]% of it. I'm afraid Mr. Duan won't be able to eat it."

Commander Duan quickly put on a negotiable expression: "Brother Song, don't you think that I want to take advantage of this for no reason? Ouch, then I will be wronged to death. I, Duan Ming, never do such insidious things. , at this moment, I will help Brother Song solve a troublesome matter. You have long thought that Ouyang’s family is not pleasing to the eye, it’s okay, brother is not easy to make a move, brother, I will take care of this trouble for you. At that time, this will be given to the Xing family Wouldn’t it be a cheap thing to propose marriage to Xing’s family based on Brother Song’s appearance and family background? Brother, what do I want if I want two members? No one knows, and the Xing family is one In the end of the year, the things leaked from the cracks of the fingers are enough for a family like me to chew for a year. My brother has become the son-in-law of the Xing family, so why do you care about the mere [-]% of the members."

Song Chen was furious in his heart, Commander Duan didn't wait for Song Chen to get angry, and hurriedly answered: "It's snowing late at night, but my brother and my gang all have venomous eyes. Unfortunately, I saw it in the Song's alley. A gang of bandits kidnapped the third master of the Ouyang family."

Commander Duan muttered as if talking to himself: "These guys are too. They must be very curious and insist on following behind, but they saw the place where the gangsters are staying."

A cold light flashed in Song Chen's eyes, Commander Duan said with a smile: "My brother, do you know about the nunnery in the east of the city? There are only two or three old sisters. I was surprised. The incense there is not strong, and the sisters are not beautiful. Why? Just keep burning incense every day, and never burn food or drink? My brother said this is amazing!"

Song Chen said in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"

"Before I came, the nunnery had already been surrounded by soldiers and horses from the five cities, and it was difficult for anyone inside to fly out. Brother, think about it, I might as well send these people from the Western Regions to Shuntian Mansion as Jiangyang thieves. It doesn't matter if I go to Dali Temple, won't the emperor give me a reward?"

"Rewards are naturally indispensable, but my brother doesn't think about it. Naturally, I deny it to the end. The emperor will not spare me from my errands because of two Jiangyang thieves, and he will not anger our old man because of this. Enemy, how can we take another half step in the officialdom? Brother Duan, don’t forget. Our old man doesn’t care about things, but he’s still the Minister of the Ministry of Officials!"

Song Chen unknowingly made a murderous move, with his hands on his waist ready to strike at any time.

Killing Duan Ming was not because of Duan Ming's open mouth or being too greedy, but because the other party intended to involve the Xing family in crisis.Song Chen did not allow anyone to hurt Xing Xiuyan, not even a potential threat.

In this short moment, Song Chen and Duan Mingxu were thinking about how to report this matter to the emperor after killing Duan Ming.

Zhen Fusi only kills people for the emperor, and Wucheng Bingmasi is one of the emperor's most trusted officials. If he wants to kill the big boss of Bingmasi, he has to get the emperor's nod first.But Song Chen also understood that if he didn't kill Duan Ming in one fell swoop at this time and leave the Zhenfusi, the old boy would definitely run away without a trace, and he couldn't grasp the opportunity.

Song Chen's face remained calm, but Duan Ming seemed to have guessed Song Chen's thoughts, and smiled loudly: "I won't get along with anyone, and I won't get along with brother Song. Think about it, brother, this deal is really good. When something happened to the Ouyang family, I couldn't find out about my brother, let alone the Xing family, so I just need to marry a beautiful woman with peace of mind. On the day of my big wedding, just treat me to a glass of water and wine."

Song Chen didn't ignore the flash of cunning in Duan Ming's eyes, he immediately realized that Duan Ming's arrival was not a result of whim, but a carefully planned move.

Song Chen was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "Brother Duan, let me think about it, and I'll give you a confirmation letter tomorrow."

Duan Ming was overjoyed: "Should be, then I will wait for the good news from my brother at the Bing Ma Si!"

Duan Ming walked out of the Zhenfu Department beaming as if he had made a deal.A few capable subordinates who were hiding in the back hall immediately jumped into the main hall: "My lord, do you want it?"

The subordinates made a gesture of wiping their necks, and Song Chen rushed back and waved his hands: "A person like Duan Ming can sacrifice his life for money. Since money can solve the problem, there is no need to mobilize the teacher. However, once the wind blows, it should be called People in the Bingma Division know that our Zhenfu Division is not easy to mess with."

Bloodthirsty looks immediately appeared on the faces of Song Chen's subordinates, wishing they could kill Duan Ming immediately.

Xiuyan didn't know how much money Song Chen had lost for her, let alone that the third master of Ouyang's family had fallen from Song Chen's hands into the prison of Wucheng Bingmasi.These three masters were purely self-inflicted. He was lustful at the time and wanted to deal with the Xing family, so he was caught and became a shackle.

The people in the Zhenfu Division are all masters in execution, and they have been "taken care of" by Song Chen. The third master Ouyang can't see any scars on his body, but his muscles and bones have long been damaged.

They changed hands and entered the Wucheng Bingma Division. Bingmasi did not have those experts in hearing. They only thought that the third master Ouyang was depressed, so all kinds of big punishments went up to greet him. In less than half an afternoon, the third master Ouyang I almost swallowed my breath.

Duan Ming was shocked when he received the news, and hurried over to check it out, only to be startled by Song Chen's methods.Duan Ming recalled his arrogance in the Zhenfu Department, and then he trembled with fear, and then he felt that what he wanted to take [-]% seemed a bit heavy.Duan Ming was eager to restore friendship with Song Chen, so he tried his best to find out the details of the Ouyang family's masters on the Ouyang family.

Because Song Chen returned to Beijing at Xiuyan, she always felt as if she had a backbone, so she simply put aside the affairs of Ouyang's family and concentrated on taking care of Daiyu's marriage.

After the two little people met that day, the aunt of the Gan family asked Gan Mi how she felt in private. When Gan Mi found out that her aunt was matching her with Miss Lin, she blushed and refused to answer anything, and the aunt of the Gan family asked him nothing. Understood, I immediately wrote to Jining to ask the old man to come to Beijing to preside over the marriage for Qian Mi.

What Ganjia meant was to settle the marriage first, while making preparations, and at the same time asking Ganmi to prepare for the exam, without delaying each other.

In the past few years, Mrs. Lu arranged Xiuyan and Daiyu's dowry very closely. After asking Jia's mother what she wanted, the two families immediately felt that they had made arrangements.Selfishly, Jia's mother didn't want the Xing family to take all the limelight, so she paid 2 taels of silver herself, and asked Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing's sister-in-law to come forward to buy Daiyu's dowry.

Mrs. Wang was reluctant, and Mrs. Xing wanted to put all the money in her pocket. Neither of them bought it for Daiyu sincerely. .

The dowry box is neither made of red sandalwood nor huanghuali, but only black rosewood, and the style is also old-fashioned. It doesn't look like furniture for a married woman, but like a widowed woman for many years.The brocade quilt and satin are cheap goods bought in a shop that is about to close, and some of them are obviously threadbare.The hairpin and ring jewelry in the box had been bombed, not the latest creation.This kind of jewelry is mostly an item in a pawn shop. Because the pawnbroker has no one to redeem it, it is sold again and again.

What's annoying is that many of the things that come out of pawn shops like this are the relics of the deceased.It's no wonder Mrs. Lu is not annoyed!
Really bad luck!

Mother Jia forced a smile and said: "The family spent a lot of money on taking medicine for the empress, and I can't do it at this time. Don't joke, uncle and wife. When the business takes out idle money, it will be subsidized in Miss Lin's dowry. It won't make that child feel wronged. Fortunately, this marriage will take some time."

Mrs. Lu asked intentionally: "Is it true that the family can't afford to take the medicine? The palace doesn't come forward to take care of it? After all, the concubine Yuan is the lord of the first palace!"

Jia Mu smiled wryly: "Although this is the truth, in the deep palace compound, the empress is afraid that she will take a wrong step. It is better to avoid this kind of life-saving thing that does not touch the hands of outsiders."

The old lady obviously didn't want to get entangled in this matter, so she hurriedly changed the topic to the Gan family: "Then the aunt and grandma of the Gan family can really invite their old master?"

Mrs. Lu understood, and just smiled and said: "The Gan family is willing to marry us, the old lady of the Gan family personally agreed, it's better to work for him than to ask that step-wife to come."

Jia's mother frowned, and said that the only thing that the old lady was dissatisfied with was that Gan Mi had a eccentric non-concubine grandmother who was very serious.
