…… After Caoya left, Wei Changying and Shen zangfeng looked at the ginseng that she left. In order to preserve it, there was a lot of soil left on the roots, but we could see that it was almost human.
"Is there such a good thing in Mengshan?" Wei Changying sniffed the fragrant ginseng and murmured, "when I was in the capital of the emperor, I remember at least seven or eight hundred liang of silver for such a ginseng?"
"It's said that Cao family castle is a place where refugees live together, but it's just a place where people live in a muddle." Shen zangfeng said thoughtfully, "now it seems that the world is biased. Mengshan is rich in natural resources. Cao family castle is based on a long history, but such natural materials and treasures can be found nearby... "
At the same time, the couple thought of caojiapu's collusion with Mengshan gang in the neighboring county. Previously, they thought that the Mengshan gang did not have a good place. Even if caojiapu had a relationship with them, there was not much money and salt to buy. Now when I see this ginseng, I can't help but think that if Cao family castle can often dig similar ones, then
Even though it is certain that it can't be compared with the price sold in the capital city, it's OK to offset two or three hundred Liang silver with this kind of ginseng. The people of the Mengshan sect are more sinister. However, since Lai Dayong has been able to develop in Guanzhou for a long time, he must know the truth that he can't dry up and fish.
According to the average price of private salt Both of them have a deep heart.
Mengshan Gang not only sells private salt, but also acts as bandits. Then weapons like swords and guns, and all things needed for rebellion
Silence for a moment, Shen Zang Feng picked up the ginseng and said, "first give it to me, then show it to you Jia."
But Shen Youjia was called to see the ginseng and heard about its origin, but he was surprised and said: "three uncles don't think that the ginseng was really dug up by the people of Cao family castle?"
Shen Cangfeng said in surprise, "isn't it?"
"If the ginseng has been washed clean and dried, my nephew may not recognize it." Shen Youjia shook his head, pointed to the root and said, "but it's still fresh now, but he can't hide it from my nephew's eyes. The soil that was dug out here is the unique mud color of Guanzhou Mi County! This is not mud near caojiapu! "
He added, "when Cao family castle was founded, it was not without the idea of nearby Chinese herbal medicines. Over the years, what can be dug has been dug out! It's absolutely impossible to leave such a reference! "
Shen Cangfeng was surprised: "according to your idea, this ginseng was sent to Cao's castle by Mengshan Gang?" It can't be so coincidental. People from caojiabao run to Guanzhou Mi County and just dig this ginseng. They can bring it back to caojiabao safely, and then send it to Xiliang from muchunmian?
It must be the first month for the people of Mengshan Gang to get close to the water!
"Or caojiabao bought it from Mengshan gang." Shen Youjia said to himself, "but it's more likely that the third uncle will guess, because my nephew really can't figure out how to buy such a ginseng in the situation of caojiapu?"
Shen zangfeng shook his head and said, "do you forget that your three aunts only gave them three thousand liang of gold a few days ago?"
"But what do you mean by the three uncles and aunts?" Shen Youjia asked, "there is the sentiment of Duanmu family miss. They don't have to give gifts to three uncles and three aunts, and three uncles and three aunts won't treat them badly. What's more, although such a reference is good, it's just a good word for the third uncle and the third aunt. It's far from grateful. So my nephew thinks it's true that there's a rumor that Lai Dayong, the leader of Mengshan sect, and the current Wooden Castle leader of Cao family castle have private affairs. Maybe Lai Dayong knew that Ji Gu, the father of Wooden Castle leader, was in Xiliang city to mend his wounds. He was especially filial to please his future father-in-law! "
He said again, "it's just that Ji Gu broke his leg, not hurt his vitality. I don't need such a good participant. She simply sent her granddaughter to mingpeitang, which is also a way of doing business. "
Shen zangfeng thought for a moment, but smiled and said, "You Jia, who are you forgetting about Ji Gu?"
Not to be answered by Shen Youjia, Shen Cangfeng has replied, "he is the uncle of jishenyi. He was able to escape to caojiapu, even hide his name and control caojiapu secretly these years. All of these rely on the first-hand excellent medical skills handed down from Jijia! He has been in caojiapu for decades, and his daughter and granddaughter have both. I can't tell whether the ginseng is from caojiapu or Guanzhou, but since you know it, can Jigu not? "
Shen Youjia's mind flashed and said: "three uncles mean...?"
"You've always wanted to recruit Lai Dayong, but you've been stumbling over him before. Now it seems that he also has the heart to run No, I'm tempted by this ginseng. " Shen Cangfeng smiled lightly and said, "tomorrow you can send someone to Jiyuan to ask Jigu about the digger. I think he will know what you mean."
Shen Yujia sighed and said, "my nephew thinks it's better for him to send people to Ming Pei hall. Lai Dayong asked the young Castle master of Cao family castle to give it to his uncle and aunt, but he didn't give it to my nephew. Obviously, this heart of defection is for my uncle. I'm afraid Lai Dayong is suspicious!"
Shen zangfeng tapped on the edge of the case, and after a moment's concentration, he said, "I didn't ask about it last time, the Mengshan Gang?"
"The number of guild members is next. We are not short of soldiers in Xiliang." Shen Youjia explained, "my nephew takes a fancy to him, because it took only a few years for him to set up the first gang in Mengshan from a fugitive. He even managed to establish a relationship with Guanzhou assassin. The officials and bandits colluded with him to make the private salt business flourish! My nephew thought that although he was born in a humble family, he was very talented. Although it's a bandit now, it's a necessity at the beginning, and it may not be able to be corrected. ""A talent." Shen zangfeng nodded and said, "in this case, it's worth my presence."
…… About the same time, the capital, summer rain.
The willow color of the spring grass lake is pleasant, and the wind blows, and thousands of blue branches curl up like a dancer gently turning around and raising her affectionate train. In the wild bamboo groves by the water bank, from time to time, there are calls of water birds cooing.
Wei changjuan was dressed in a light Fei dress and tied up in a Feixian bun. Although the color of the only bead hairpin on the bun was dim, it was still shining under the umbrella in the rain because of the dark hair color.
In such a green season, the dress of shallow Fei is quite eye-catching. On the lake bank which just turns in the distance, minyino, who was carefully protected by the maid with an umbrella, saw her sitting under the lake bank alone holding the umbrella. The crimson train almost slid to the lake surface, as if she was looking down at the water from under the umbrella, a little stunned, subconsciously stood still.
The maid who served min Yinuo noticed that she recognized Wei changjuan as soon as she looked at her. She thought of what the master and his wife had told her before the young lady came out of the pavilion. She was also surprised. She whispered, "madam, let's go around?"
“…… It's getting late. I'm afraid my husband will worry about me. " Minyi Nuo left the pavilion last year and got along well with the warm and kind Song Dynasty in Xinjiang. Since the husband and wife love each other, they naturally value the love of husband and wife more than that of sisters. Moreover, after leaving the cabinet, I have experienced many things. Looking back on Wei changjuan's various behaviors, I think it's too stupid to be a sister.
Now, although I don't hate Wei changjuan, I also think that what my parents said should be far away from her is right. But today she came out for a walk. She had an appointment with song Zaixiang to go back to Chenguang. Now looking at the other courtyard is right in front of her. If she makes a detour because of avoiding the guards, she will miss the appointment. At that time, song will be afraid of worrying in Xinjiang.
So she thought for a moment, and then she continued to walk, "besides, sister Wei Qi wants to come and see me. This will take a detour, but it's to offend her I'll say hello to her and leave. If she pulls me to talk later, you can remember! "
The maids answered quickly, "your maidservant has noticed."
So they continued to walk along the lake bank. After a while, they came to Wei changjuan. However, they saw that Wei changjuan was still sitting in place, as if the threads had not moved.
Because she was sitting under the lake bank, but she could only see the umbrella top behind her shoulder, and could not see her face and expression. Minyi Nuo was wearing clogs. It was inconvenient for him to go down. He stopped at the top and said in a friendly voice, "sister Wei Qi, are you here, too?"
She asked this question, but she didn't hear Wei changjuan's answer. She was a little nervous. Min Yinuo heard that Wei changjuan had been sent out of the cabinet. After she knew that, Wei changjuan thought that song Zaijiang, who she married, was Wei Changying's first cousin who she hated. She decided that Min Yinuo had betrayed herself and made a lot of trouble at home. If her two sisters-in-law hadn't forced her back In the room, I almost went to min's house to ask her for help even though I was still guarding my mother's filial piety
Just now I saw the profile of Wei changjuan in the distance. Although min Yinuo said no detour to his maid, he was a little scared. He was worried that Wei changjuan was waiting for his own account here after she was filial.
This handkerchief is very messy. Min Yinuo is very clear
So at the moment, Wei changjuan is silent, only saying that she is still angry, deliberately ignoring herself, and asked in a good voice.
So even asked four times, did not see Wei changjuan to pay attention.
Minyi Nuo hesitates to go up and open the umbrella to explain to her, or just say goodbye? However, the maid beside her could not see that her master had been so neglected, so she coughed heavily and said in a loud voice: "madam, your shoes are all wet just now. You have to go back quickly. Otherwise, it will be cold. The maid will be severely punished by the master!"
Minyinuo's brow slightly wrinkled when he heard the maid's advice to relieve the siege as he had ordered before, so that he could have a reason to leave, because Wei changjuan had married song in Xinjiang before, and hated all the people who had known her for many years and were still cousins in theory. The maid deliberately mentioned "master", but don't pick up her anger
Just thinking about how Wei changjuan will come to an end, but Wei changjuan still doesn't respond - minyino is a little curious, so he looks at a servant girl nearby and whispers, "maybe it's raining. Wei Qi's sister can't hear me at the bottom. Please go down and ask Wei Qi's sister."
The servant girl understood, took up her skirt, walked carefully to the bank, and said, "Miss Wei Qi, my wife is talking to you! Are you stunned by the lake view? "
At this time, in the flood season, the water level of chuncaohu lake is very high, and there is not a few steps from the embankment to the Bank of the embankment. The maid said these words, and now she has come to Wei changjuan's side. She took the umbrella out of her hand without any politeness - only she looked at the scene under the umbrella, and suddenly froze with a little dissatisfaction and teasing!
Minyinuo and other people on the embankment can't see the inside story because the umbrella hasn't been completely flicked away by the maid - but they see that the maid is like being bitten by a snake, grabbing the veil fiercely, screaming: "dead! Miss Wei Qi She she she She's dead! "
