The Rebirth of Space: the Lucky Girl From a Farm Family

Chapter 324 Investigation

Gu Huayu said: "If you are not even forty, how can you be old?"

Han Shi nodded in agreement: "That's right, where are you old?"

“Thirty-eight, most women of my age are now grandmothers. Still not old?” Wang Qin said.

“In my opinion, you are just like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.” Han Shi blurted out.

Gu Huayu raised her head to look at Han Shi and saw that his eyes were extremely gentle. Her heart moved and she couldn't help but think in that direction...

Of course, Gu Huayu doesn’t think Wang Qin is old. That’s because she has lived in modern times for more than 20 years.

 In modern times, countless people start a family in their thirties and forties.

Hua Jinlin has not been married for more than thirty years and has become a famous diamond king.

 She was also in her early thirties before she traveled back through time, but she didn't feel how old she was.

Not only does Han Shi not think Wang Qin is old, but in his heart, Wang Qin is still a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, with gentle eyes, which is quite appropriate.

Wang Qin glanced at Han Shi and replied: "You are fifteen or sixteen years old. You have a lot of white hair. You are still fifteen or sixteen years old! What you say will make people laugh."

"Don't say that. In our minds, you are still fifteen or sixteen years old. Su Er, right?" After saying that, Han Shi pulled Su Er's sleeve and raised his chin towards him. motioning for him to help.

Su Er glanced at his sleeves, then at Wang Qin, and said, "Huh? Right! But I've never seen Aunt Wang look like she was fifteen or sixteen years old!"

When Wang Qin was fifteen or sixteen years old, Su Er was only two or three years old. Wang Qin had been in Jiangnan while Su Er was in the capital.

Su Er's truthfulness caused Han Shi to kick him.

Su Er smiled and took a step to the side, deftly avoiding Han Shi's attack.

Gu Huayu looked at the way Han Shi bared his teeth at Su and couldn't help but smile and said, "Uncle Han is right. In our hearts, Aunt Wang is just like a girl of fifteen or sixteen, young, beautiful and full of energy."

Han Shi looked at Gu Huayu gratefully and said, "The princess knows people best. The princess said you are young. You are really young."

Wang Qin spread his hands and said, "Thank you. Actually, it doesn't matter to me whether you are young or not.

　　Before I found the princess, I stayed by Mr. Zhu’s side. At that time, I thought that after a hundred years of Mr. Zhu, I would travel around the world like my master and be a chivalrous man who eliminates evil and helps the weak.

 Later I found the princess, and I abided by the rules of the Longying people, stayed with the princess, and guarded the princess for the rest of my life. "

Han Shi said: "You are right. It is our blessing to be able to find the princess and keep her for the rest of our lives. We should cherish our blessing."

Gu Huayu watched as the light in Han Shi's eyes dimmed little by little, and the guess in her heart got the answer.

 Smiled and replied: "Being able to have you by my side is a blessing left to me by my father and mother. I hope this blessing can last longer. Does Aunt Wang understand what I mean?"

Without waiting for Wang Qin to reply, Qing Yu came in and reported: "Princess, Junxin is back."

 Everyone looked towards the door.

 Junxin entered the room and greeted Gu Huayu first, then bowed his hands to everyone.

Han Shi asked: "Have you found out? Who is the owner of Sunan Silver House?"

Junxin leaned forward and said: "I found out that the owner of Sunan Silver House is named Su Jinze, whose ancestral home is Yangzhou. Sunan Silver House is a century-old store in Jiangnan. However, it has only been open in the capital for twenty years."

“Have you been operating in the capital for only twenty years?” Su Er asked in surprise.

 Junxin nodded and said: "Yes, it has only been in business in the capital for twenty years."

Han Shi held his chin thoughtfully and murmured: "Sunan Silver Building has been in the capital for twenty years, so it's no wonder whose property Baoqing Silver Building belongs to.

Since he knows that Baoqing Silver Tower is the property of Wang Xiangfu, and Wang Xiangfu and Xian Wangfu are related by marriage.

The Prime Minister's Mansion is not only a high-power prime minister's office, but also a relative of the emperor. What is the origin of Sunan Silver Tower? Dare to confront Wang Xiangfu! "

Gu Huayu looked at Junxin and asked, "Who is this Su Jinze? ​​Have you found out?"

Junxin shook his head and said, "I only found out that the Su family lives in Qingquan Lane in the south of the city.

The Su family doesn't seem to have many relatives in the capital, and they rarely interact with people around them. Few neighbors know about the Su family's situation. "

Su Er's brows knitted when he heard this, "It's very abnormal to have been alone for twenty years without interacting with others."

Gu Huayu nodded, "It's indeed abnormal. Let's check again. Start with the clerks in the shop or the merchants with whom we have business dealings. If we dig deeper into the people who are related, we will definitely find out the information."

 Junxin bowed and responded: "Yes, I understand. I'll check it out tomorrow."

Han Shi asked: "Where are the other companies? Have you found anything?"

Junxin replied: "The owner of Han Caiyin House is Han Dongsheng. The Han family has been doing business for generations. Their business involves wine shops and inns, grain, oil, rice and noodles, silk and satin cloth shops, gold and silver antiques, it can be said that they have everything.

By the way, the Han family is an imperial businessman and is very close to the Qi Palace. "

Su Er looked at Gu Huayu, "Princess! This..."

Gu Huayu did not answer, and then asked: "Where are Yuanyitang, Yujinyinlou, and Yumantang? Have you found out?"

 Junxin nodded, "Yuan Yitang is Mrs. Ye's dowry, and Yumantang is Princess Jinglian's property. We haven't found out about Yujinyinlou yet. This is the general situation."

Gu Huayu sat back, leaned her head on the back of the chair, pursed her lips, and said apologetically: "I was still careless.

Originally, I just wanted to teach Mrs. Shangguan a lesson, but I didn’t expect such a big battle would arise. Now I owe a lot of favors. "

Gu Huayu is most afraid of owing a debt of favor, and is extremely upset at this moment.

Wang Qin said with relief: "Princess, you don't have to mind. The favor we owe this time will be repaid in the future."

Gu Huayu sighed and said angrily: "Oh, this is the only way."

 After finishing speaking, Gu Huayu looked at Junxin and warned: "Continue to investigate the Sunan Silver House tomorrow."

 Junxin leaned forward and said, "Yes, I understand."

 Gu Huayu looked at the hourglass and said, "It's getting late today. Let's take a rest early. By the way, Uncle Han will take people to greet Uncle Hua tomorrow."

Han Shi bowed his head and responded: "Yes, I understand."

 Gu Huayu stood up and prepared to go back to her yard. She took two steps and turned to look at Qing Yu: "Get a more normal carriage tomorrow."

 After what happened today, it is not easy to go out.

Qingyu understood and said, "Okay, I understand."

 The morning court was over the next day, and King Qin was about to leave with all the officials. A young chamberlain came over and said, "Your Majesty, long live your invitation."

  King Qin looked towards the direction where the emperor left and saw Eunuch Lin nodding towards him.

 The King of Qin said to the young chamberlain: "Okay, I understand."

The emperor has a habit of drinking only half a bowl of bird's nest porridge when he gets up in the morning. After the morning court, he has breakfast in the side hall.

The King of Qin walked up to the side hall. As he walked, the King of Qin thought about why the emperor kept him. When he arrived at the side hall, the King of Qin went to the emperor to pay homage to him.

The emperor said: "I'll give you a seat."

Eunuch Gao was about to bring the brocade stool over. King Qin thanked him and sat down on the brocade stool.

At this time, the palace maid came in with breakfast, and the emperor said: "Have breakfast with me."

 The King of Qin thanked him again.

After breakfast, the emperor asked: "Is everything going well with the Ministry of Punishment? Are there any clues?"

King Qin leaned forward and said: "Back to my father, the Ministry of Punishment is fine. Zhang Shangshu takes good care of my son. I have read the files from that year in the past two days, but I haven't found any new clues."

 The emperor asked: "Check slowly, don't be in a hurry. Have you gone to see Mrs. Yang at the British Duke's Mansion?"

King Qin raised his head and looked at the emperor, "Back to my father, my son and I went with Zhang Shangshu and the others on the day of the incident.

When Erchen, Zhang Shangshu and his entourage arrived, Doctor Xu and Doctor Hu were still treating the old lady, and Concubine De and the King Xian were also there. The son heard what Xu Yizheng said about the old lady's injury. "

After King Qin finished speaking, he saw that the emperor was looking at him and asked: "Father, don't you suspect that your son and ministers did it?"

The emperor said: "Of course I believe you. Some people have wrong minds, so you have to be aware of it. In the past two days, there have been rumors that are not good for you, so you need to pay more attention."

 The King of Qin leaned forward and said, "Thank you, Father, I will take note of it."

"Your Majesty, several prime ministers are already waiting." Eunuch Gao came in and reported.

The emperor nodded and said to King Qin: "I am keeping you here today because I want you to have breakfast with me. I have nothing else to do. You can go and do your work."

 The king of Qin stood up to say goodbye.

Coming out of the palace, from a distance, King Qin saw Ruxuan standing on tiptoe and looking in. His steps were a little faster.

When Ruxuan saw King Qin coming out, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief. He turned to Rujin and said, "Master is out, please drive the chariot over."

 When King Qin walked to the door, Rujin had already driven his chariot over.

Ruxuan stepped forward and lifted the curtain, and King Qin went straight into the carriage. "My father left me down to have breakfast with him, so I came out late."

Ruxuan said: "Seeing that I haven't come out for a long time, I guessed that the emperor's general stayed behind."

King Qin thought of his father’s words and asked, “Have you heard any rumors about me in the past two days?”

Ruxuan has been with King Qin for the past two days. He didn't know what King Qin didn't know, so he turned to look at Rufu and said, "Your Majesty, I want to ask you something."

　　Ru Ji replied, "Yes, it came out from nowhere starting from the afternoon of the day before yesterday. It said that the old lady of the British government was injured, and it was at the hands of my subordinates. This letter started to be circulated in teahouses and restaurants at noon yesterday.

Before the news about me spread, the story of the princess buying up the bank came out.

The matter of the princess overshadowed the previous rumors. At first, I was thinking of reporting this matter to my father, but later I was busy inquiring about various bank houses and forgot about this matter. "

 Ruxuan asked: "Did the rumors about me spread from the British Duke's Palace or the Prince Xian's Palace?"

King Qin twitched his lips and asked: "Is there any difference between the British Duke's Palace and the Xian Prince's Palace?"

 Ruxuan said: "Yes, the British Duke's Palace and the Prince Xian's Palace are originally from the same family."

Ru Yan said while driving the car: "Sir, we found some clues at the Sunan Silver Building."

 King Qin raised the curtain and saw that the car had turned onto the street where the Xingbu Yamen was located, "Go to the Yamen first, and we will talk about it later."

 Ru Yan responded: "Okay, I understand."

King Qin asked: "Has the shop been packed?"

 Ruxuan replied: "Master, the shop has only made some minor changes and has been tidied up. After we have all the people in the next two days, we can open it. Shopkeeper Miao wants all new people to be employed in this shop."

 King Qin thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, then we will use all new people. How long will it take for Ru'an to arrive in the capital?"

 Ruxuan replied: "Counting the days, if there is no delay on the way, we should arrive in these two days."

King Qin said: "Then let's wait until Ru'an arrives."

 Ru Yan stopped the car, got out of the car and set up the footstool, "Sir, we're here."

After King Qin got out of the car, he said, "Stop the car and come to the study to meet me."

 Ru Yan bowed and responded, "Yes, I understand, little one."

  King Qin went to his room and met Li Cheng on the corridor who was about to go out.

After greeting each other, King Qin asked, "Are you going out?"

Li Cheng leaned forward and said, "Yes, the old lady of the British Government has regained consciousness. I have been sent by Zhang Shangshu to go to the British Government to ask about the situation that day."

King Qin nodded, "Thank you for your hard work. You have time to come over for tea when you get back."

Li Cheng wanted to say goodbye.

 King Qin entered the study. After a while, there was a knock on the door.

King Qin raised his voice and said, "Come in."

King Qin thought it was Rumo, but he didn't expect that it was Ye Minghao and Ruan Chu who came in. He asked in surprise: "Why are you two here together?"

Ruan Chu smiled and said, "I happened to meet Zhifei at the door, so we came in together."

King Qin looked at Ye Minghao and asked, "Aren't you preparing for the wedding at home? Why are you here today? Is there something going on in the house? Is my aunt not well?"

Ye Minghao shook his head, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, everything is fine in the mansion, and my aunt has been doing well these past two days. She goes to the Buddhist hall with her to copy scriptures every day, and then walks around the mansion with her, so she feels quite calm. "

King Qin asked: "Then what are you doing here?"

Ye Minghao touched his nose and said uncomfortably: "What? I just felt a little flustered after staying in the house. I didn't know what to do, so I went out and walked around, and then I ended up here. , so I came in to see the prince."

King Qin asked in confusion: "I'm about to marry the girl I've longed for, shouldn't I be overjoyed? Why are you still flustered?"

Ye Minghao shook his head, "I can't explain clearly. I'm both looking forward to it and fearful, I'm both happy and anxious..."

King Qin stopped Ye Minghao's words: "Come on, you don't need to elaborate on your feelings with me and Xinyang. We are not married, we have not experienced what you said, and we cannot understand your happiness."

Ye Minghao smiled and said: "Grandma asked me to come over and talk to the prince. I asked my grandmother why she said this. Grandma also said that the prince has been smart since he was a child, so he naturally understands what it means."

 King Qin was too lazy to pay attention to him and turned to look at Ruan Chu, "Didn't Xinyang go to meet General Ruan?"

Ruan Chu said: "My father sent someone back to the house to deliver a message and told him not to go and greet him. I have nothing to do at home, so I came here to look for the prince."

Rumin knocked on the door and came in. He saw Ruan Chu and Ye Minghao there, and he held his hands in greeting.

King Qin said: "Tell me about the situation of the Sunan Silver Tower."

Ru Ji leaned forward and said: "The owner of Sunan Silver House is called Su Jinze, who is from Yangzhou. The Su family runs the silver house in Yangzhou.

Sunan Yinlou is quite famous in Jiangnan and is a century-old store.

Twenty years ago, Sunan Yinlou opened its first store in Beijing. Today, Sunan Yinlou has opened four stores in Beijing. "

King Qin thought for a while and asked: "How old is Su Jinze? ​​Where does he live in the capital? Who do you usually interact with? Who else is there in the house?"
