The carriage was swaying, and Wen Qingzhu leaned on the soft pillow, closing his eyes and meditating.
Occasionally, the car curtain was lifted, and the fragrance of flowers wafted in.
When the car stopped, Xi'er opened the curtain, poked her head in, and shouted softly: "Miss, we're here."
Wen Qingzhu opened his eyes and saw that Lu Tao had gone out and opened the curtain.
After getting off the car, Xi'er held a lantern in front to lead the way, and at the same time whispered: "The young master is already in the house, he has been waiting for you."
When we arrived at the door of the house, warm yellow lights and candlelight shone out, and before we even got closer, we heard Linlin's voice.
Xi'er stepped forward and knocked on the door, and Wen Mingxuan's voice sounded from inside: "Here he comes!"
As soon as the door opened, Wen Qingzhu stood in front of him and quickly stepped aside: "Sister, come in quickly."
After sitting down in the room, Wen Qingzhu's eyes fell on Linlin and asked her: "Why are you in Kangcheng? Does Mrs. Wei know?"
"I don't know, I came here secretly." Wei Qinglin didn't dare to look her in the eyes, feeling guilty.
Wen Mingxuan poured the tea himself and brought it to Wen Qingzhu: "Sister, you have worked hard all the way. Drink some tea first to moisten your throat."
Wen Qingzhu took his tea and looked at him helplessly: "Linlin has a special status. Many people are watching the movements of the Wei family. If something happens, how can you be responsible?"
"It's me, it's me! I don't care about Brother Mingxuan!" Wei Qinglin jumped up immediately.
Wen Qingzhu looked at the two of them helplessly.
After drinking tea, Wen Mingxuan found a reason to send Wei Qinglin away.
Wen Mingxuan then took out a stack of documents from the drawer, handed it to the small table next to her, and said, "This is the recent record of the Tu family's activities in Kangcheng."
Wen Qingzhu flipped through it casually, and he could roughly tell that the Tu family still wanted to develop well in Kangcheng.
She raised her eyes and looked at Mingxuan: "You were here early in the morning. Is the body of Mrs. Tu's wife still there?"
"No more. The Tu family sent people back to Huizhou. However, we found two rough girls who were serving the young lady of the Tu family at that time. They said that the young lady had been locked in the house. Ever since they came there, I haven’t seen that young lady coming.”
Wen Mingxuan hesitated and then said: "Master Ning asked Master Tu if he had visited the young lady again, but it turned out that he had not seen the young lady again. Someone in the newly opened Wanyan Building in Kangcheng had seen traces of Master Tu. Master Ning speculated that, The relationship between Master Tu and Madam Tu is very problematic."
"Then are Boss Tu and Master Tu really sick?" Wen Qingzhu felt that if necessary, she would go to Tu's house in person.
Wen Mingxuan shook his head: "Boss Tu was just hit hard. He still needs to handle the affairs of the Tu family business. As for Master Tu, after his wife's accident, he never left the house again. I asked the doctor who treated him and asked him. I am really sick and depressed."
Speaking of this, his face was full of doubts.
Wen Qingzhu naturally knew what he was doubting. It was simply that Mrs. Tu had passed away. Mr. Tu had acted indifferently before, but then he became really ill.
"Actually, I think I can meet that Master Tu." Wen Qingzhu put forward his idea after considering it.
Early the next morning, Wen Qingzhu went to Kangcheng Medical Center and made a private appointment with Wang Mo.
There was only a pot of water on the table, and Wang Mo was sitting opposite her, reporting the situation of the Jia family in detail.
It took him half an hour to finish.
Wen Qingzhu had been sizing up the person opposite him. Wang Mo was becoming more and more sophisticated than Chen Wen, and his reporting was simple and to the point.
"Madam?" Wang Mo saw that she was a little distracted and couldn't help but raise the decibel level.
Wen Qingzhu came back to his senses and said with an apology on his face: "I'm sorry, I was a little distracted just after I left. It reminded me of an old friend."
Wang Mo nodded, being very measured and not interfering with Wen Qingzhu's privacy. He only repeated the last question: "The Jia family has begun to recruit new merchants. The current share of the entire Kangcheng market has exceeded 50%. This is not This is not a good sign, what are your plans, madam?"
"There is definitely a plan, but not now. You continue to sit at Jia's house. With me here, they don't dare to neglect you. As long as the Jia family's share does not exceed 70%, everything will be easy. If necessary, you can Give them a heads up.”
Wen Qingzhu folded his hands and supported his chin. The Wang Mo in front of him looked more and more like Mr. Wang in his previous life.
Seeing her like this, Wang Merao had a strong psychological quality, but he couldn't stand it anymore: "Madam, do you think there is something wrong with my outfit?"
Wen Qingzhu was stunned and looked up and down.
He was wearing a light gray robe, with his hair standing up and fixed with a silver crown. The whole person could not be simpler.
But his calm and reliable temperament makes it difficult not to notice.
"Well, there is indeed a problem. It would look better if you wore a moon-white round-neck robe!" Wen Qingzhu commented seriously.
Wang Mo's mouth twitched, but he patiently explained: "I need to check accounts and inventory everywhere in Kangcheng on a daily basis, and the Yuebai round-neck robe is not suitable."
"Okay." Wen Qingzhu knew in his heart that this was the sequelae of Wang Mo's exile.
She became serious: "I am not checking the Jia family's affairs today, but I want you to help me arrange something."
"Madam, please speak." Wang Mo also became serious.
This is the first time Wen Qingzhu has given him a task besides helping Jia's business.
Wen Qingzhu put forward his request: "I want to go to Tu Yue's house. As a famous doctor in the world, I must meet Master Tu. There must be no doubt that there are no flaws in everything. Can you do it?"
"Okay, but you have to give me three days." Wang Mo agreed.
Wen Qingzhu shook his head and raised two fingers: "Two days at most."
After leaving the hospital, Wen Qingzhu wore a curtain hat and walked on the street.
There were all people coming and going, both men and women, so Wen Qingzhu was not conspicuous among them.
On both sides of the street, there are shops with four doors, row upon row, and each shop has its door open to greet customers coming in and out.
Here, merchants are not just merchants, but also guests.
Lu Tao followed her and said happily: "It looks better and better here."
"No, at first glance, it's even more lively than the capital city." Wen Qingzhu was very satisfied when he saw this scene.
Not long after leaving, someone suddenly started making a noise in front of me.
Wen Qingzhu raised his eyes and saw that there was a woman with beaded hair and no curtain hat. She looked quite angry and was arguing with a vendor about something.
"That woman?" Wen Qingzhu stopped immediately.
Lu Tao also saw the woman, recalled it carefully, and suddenly said: "It's Miss Sisi!"
"Who is Sisi?" Wen Qingzhu really didn't remember.
Lu Tao reminded in a low voice: "It's the concubine that Boss Jia had with him when he was in Cangzhou."
Wen Qingzhu suddenly realized that it was her.
As Jia Xiaoer's beloved concubine, why did she get into a quarrel with others in the street
Wen Qingzhu walked over and decided to listen.
As soon as I heard it, I heard Sisi saying: "... You'd better tell me, where did you get this inkstone? This is a treasure passed down from our master's family! If you don't tell me clearly, you don't have to stay in Kangcheng. Got it!"
"Madam, I took this from another boss. It wasn't stolen or robbed. You can't accuse me unjustly!" The vendor persuaded her with an innocent look on his face.
Hearing what he said, Sisi pulled out a gold hairpin from her head and slapped it on the vendor's table: "Here you go, tell me, where did you get it from?!"
Inkstone
Wen Qingzhu walked closer, looked through the gaps in the crowd, and found a black and purple inkstone placed on the vendor's stall.
Why does it look familiar
After watching for a while, Wen Qingzhu was suddenly startled, this is not—
Her expression suddenly changed, and she pushed aside the crowd and walked over, putting her hand on Sisi's shoulder: "Madam, let me handle this matter."
Sisi couldn't help shaking her shoulders, looked back, and was about to curse.
The breeze blew by and lifted a corner of the curtain. Sisi immediately covered her mouth and quickly swallowed the curse words.
Wen Qingzhu saw that she recognized him, which was easy to handle.
Lu Tao walked up to the hawker, blocked everyone's view, and handed the hawker a sign: "Maybe the boss will come back with us to ask questions?"
Seeing this sign, the vendor immediately nodded, quickly put away the inkstone, and followed Wen Qingzhu and the others.
Sisi hesitated at this time: "Husband, madam, I don't need to go. Madam has taken a fancy to this inkstone, even if it is given to you by our master."
Wen Qingzhu turned his head and looked at her quietly.
Under this silent pressure, Sisi finally gave in, lowered her head and said, "I'll go back with you."
After returning to the other courtyard, Wen Qingzhu asked the vendor alone who he had received this thing from.
The hawker only knew that the last boss's surname was Tong. He was elegant and delicate, and he seemed to be literate.
Wen Qingzhu raised his hand to spread the paper, and Lu Tao polished the ink for her.
After a while, she dipped her pen in ink, raised her head and said to the vendor: "You describe it, I'll paint it."
The vendor was standing outside the gauze curtain. He couldn't see clearly what Wen Qingzhu looked like, but he could still see that she was a great beauty.
Although he runs a small business, he has met many wealthy families recently.
A glance at the surrounding decorations revealed that this was no longer just a wealthy family's home, but a wealthy family's home.
Following Wen Qingzhu's instructions, he quickly replied: "This man has a square face, round eyes, deep lines on both sides of his mouth, and his skin is much whiter than ordinary people..."
About an hour later, Wen Qingzhu revised and revised, and finally drew a portrait.
Lu Tao took it out and showed it to the vendor. He immediately pointed at the man and said, "Yes! Exactly the same! That's Boss Tong!"
"That's good." Lu Tao put the painting away.
He turned around and went in and took out a deed and a bag of gold. He handed it to the hawker and said, "Take this and either leave Cannes from now on, or go to the Su family workshop outside Cannes, where you can become a Little steward, if you have the ability, it is not impossible for you to advance step by step in the future."
The hawker took her things, looked at the money bag first, and immediately held his breath: "Here, this is one hundred taels of gold!"
"Not bad! Look at the documents again." Lu Tao reminded him again.
The vendor quickly opened the document and took a look, carefully confirming the seal of the Su Family Workshop. He was so excited that he knelt down: "Thank you, madam! I am willing to go to the Su Family Workshop!"
After sending the hawker away, Lu Tao pulled up the curtain and asked Wen Qingzhu: "Do you want to ask Mrs. Sisi?"
"No, I have asked Xi'er to send the Yunxiao inkstone to Wang Mo. If nothing else happens, the results will be available in an hour or two."
Wen Qingzhu stood in front of the window, and the flowers in the courtyard were in full bloom.
It was already mid-April, and the weather was starting to get hotter, but Jiang Yue in the palace was still motionless.
Originally, Wen Qingzhu was relieved to leave, but Pei Yi's suddenly exposed hand made it really hard for her to feel relieved.
Nothing was achieved in the capital, Pei Yi did everything flawlessly, and everything seemed to be accidental.
But Wen Qingzhu knew very well that Pei Yi had done all this carefully.
He had long known that the Tu family would take action.
About half an hour later, it wasn't Wang Mo who came over, but a very strange person.
He looks extremely handsome, and his eyes are even more dangerous.
Wen Qingzhu was alerted as soon as he came in. This person was not simple!
