Deng Xiucai said: "You tell me."
Zhulan took out the banknotes she had prepared and handed them to Deng Xiucai, "I need to buy some good shops, and I also need your help to find out if there are any villages or fields for sale near the capital."
Deng Xiucai thought it was something trivial. Now he is still doing the same job as before and is very familiar with these shops and fields. "I will definitely take care of it for you."
Zhulan was relieved that Deng Xiucai was doing things, "It's getting late, why don't we stay for a meal together?"
Deng Xiucai wanted to stay, but he still had things to deal with at home, and he also had a headache. "I still need to go home to deal with things."
Zhulan smiled, "Then wait until next time."
Deng Xiucai was thinking about his family and then left.
Zhulan watched Deng Xiucai leave, and Chang Lian said, "Mom, do you want to ask what happened to Deng Xiucai's family?"
Zhulan originally didn't want to ask about it, but Deng Xiucai was Zhou Shuren's most effective assistant. If there were uncertain factors, it would be better to resolve them earlier, lest a small matter turn into a big deal. "Let Shen Xing go."
Shen Xing rarely follows Zhou Shuren. Relatively speaking, it is easier for Shen Xing to move, and Shen Yan's recognition is somewhat high.
Shenxing came back soon, and Zhulan was eating. Zhulan and Changlian had dinner together at noon.
Chang Lian asked, "You came back too soon."
Shen Xing said: "It's easy to inquire about Deng Xiucai's family affairs, and it's not a big deal. Deng Xiucai's daughter came home, and Miss Deng Li's mother proposed a marriage to her. Deng Xiucai didn't agree, and then there was a commotion. Now the money issue has not been resolved.”
Zhulan asked, "But you really said that you were getting married? Didn't you deliberately set up Deng Xiucai?"
Shen Xing replied, "I've asked about it, and it's true that the marriage was announced. The eighth-grade military attaché of the capital guards the house. It is said that the man is the boss of Miss Deng's stepfather's son."
Zhulan understood, the little girl should have noticed it last year, and coupled with ambition, she had a scene from last year. It was really smart, "What is the family background of the military attache's family?"
Shen Xing said: "The eighth-grade salary is not much, and the family lives in a small courtyard."
Zhulan stopped asking. With such a family background, Deng Xiucai could not afford to eat as much as he did now. Deng Xiucai returned to his old job and had a lot of money in his hands. "You can go down and eat too."
Shen Xing was indeed hungry. Ever since he came to Zhou's house, he had formed the habit of eating three meals a day. The servants of Zhou's house were still enviable. Although there were no rewards for fighting and winning over each house, they lived a stable life. There are no troubles, and the peaceful back house means there are no lives or plots. It's a pity that the Zhou family will buy people easily.
Chang Lian asked, "Mom, do you need to take care of me?"
Zhulan pondered, she and Zhou Shuren still had some onlookers' perspectives, so the two of them saw more and saw the wider picture. Because of this, the two of them were more cautious and sometimes knew too much. It's not good, but I don't know what's more dangerous. Life is really difficult.
Zhu Lan, "Find someone to check on this general. The marriage is finally Deng Xiucai's own business. Even if everyone knows that Deng Xiucai is with the Zhou Mansion, the Zhou Mansion cannot take action."
Chang Lian hummed and looked at his little brother who was lowering his head to eat. This little guy is in really good health. He caught a cold yesterday, which frightened him. This is his father's lifeblood. Fortunately, he was fine after one night. "Eat more." "
As he said that, he gave him his favorite fish balls.
Chang Zhong shouted sweetly, "Thank you, third brother."
Rong Chuan wanted to open his mouth but then closed his mouth. This little guy Chang Zhong spoke shockingly, so he had better keep his mouth shut.
The Zhulan family was in a happy mood, and those who received the restored post had various speculations. However, because the grandmothers of the Zhou family had come to the capital, people who had originally suspected that Young Master Zhou was sick also believed it.
As for asking the doctor, I won't ask. As long as someone knows how to pretend to be sick, it will be easy to get away with it.
At the inn, Shen Yang angrily threw down the post in his hand and cursed, "Since you're sick, don't get better and miss the exam time."
The boy picked up the post that had been dropped on the ground and said respectfully: "Sir, you shouldn't worry about this matter anymore. The exam is about to begin. You should read more."
Shen Yang was silent. He didn't know what was wrong with him recently. He always felt uneasy. He didn't read much of the book. He patted his face. It was really time to study hard. He didn't have to be careful. He also inquired about a lot of information. Not to mention the far away ones, there were many talented people from Jiangnan staying in the nearby inn.
The young man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the young master was studying. The master has said that he should take good care of the young master. The young master is the hope of the Shen family.
At the fifth prince's house, Zhang Jinghong lucked out a few times and asked with a smile on his face, "What kind of wind did the three brothers bring to bring the brothers here?"
Ever since he knew that he was a fake, he had been hiding from his brothers. He was really afraid that he would offend his brothers and kill him, and he wouldn't be charged much.
His elder brothers have more or less ignored him. Why are they all here at his house now
The second prince played with the bracelet and said, "Old Five, my brother recently noticed that you seem to be investigating something. If you don't mind telling me about it!"
Zhang Jinghong thought to himself, no, he didn't mind, and at the same time, his back felt cold. No matter how careful he was, people still discovered him.
The third prince was very upset. The fifth prince turned out to be a fake. He felt very complicated about the person who had replaced the prince. He was happy to lose the prince's die-hard brother, but he was also upset that there were forces he didn't know about, and he could change the prince. , this is going to heaven, should he be happy, he was not born to the queen.
The third prince didn't speak when he saw the fifth prince, "You seem to pay special attention to the students in the inn!"
Zhang Jinghong was worried and looked at the third brother carefully. What does this person know? However, he probably didn't know. If he knew, he would definitely not be in the mood to come. Fortunately, he only had people watching him outside the inn.
The fourth child squinted his eyes, looked at the second brother, and then at the third brother, thinking to himself, it would be better if these two people were also fake. What a pity, they were born too early and had no chance to be replaced.
Zhang Jinghong was particularly entangled in his heart. On the one hand, he wanted to kill Shen Yang, but on the other hand, he had too many worries. Who allowed too many coincidences? It has been delayed until now. Now it's better. Several troubled people have discovered some problems.
The second prince and the third and fourth princes exchanged glances. The more silent the fifth prince is, the more troublesome he is. Very good. As expected, it was not in vain.
Two days later, Zhulan got the house and land deeds sent by Deng Xiucai, two good shops, fifty acres of fields, and the land deeds of a small mountain. The total cost was 3,300 taels.
Deng Xiucai said: "The fifty acres of land I bought at the beginning were scattered. I went from house to house to find someone to subsidize some money in exchange for the land. Although I didn't buy a village, I built a house on the fifty acres of land next to each other. Xiaozhuangzi, yes, the fields are connected to the hills. I remember that the Zhou family had an orchard in Lizhou, so we bought it together. "
Zhulan was very satisfied. Deng Xiucai was very clever. Zhou Shuren always spoke highly of Deng Xiucai, "I am very satisfied. Thank you for your hard work."
Deng Xiucai continued: "I have some clues about the list you asked me to check, and everything I found is here."
Zhulan took it, picked it up and looked at it, squinting her eyes. Sure enough, there was something wrong.
