my grandmother

Chapter 189

Mrs. Shi, Mrs. Pan Jiu, and the four young ladies from the Wei family were secretly relieved when they sent off all the young ladies.

She hasn't fully recovered yet, so busy that she is already sweating on her back.

"Let's take a rest." Fourth Lady Wei stepped forward to support Mrs. Shi.

Mrs. Shi's complexion is not good, she has noticed it a long time ago.

"Well, I'm a little tired." Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Wei entered a small warm pavilion next to her.

The girl came over with soup and snacks, Mrs. Shi slowly sipped a bowl of red date soup, and smiled as she listened to Mrs. Pan Jiu and Mrs. Wei Liu talking about which little lady is good-looking, and which little lady speaks official Chinese softly and softly.

Fourth Lady Wei's girl, Yin Xing, hurried in from the outside, looked at Fourth Lady Wei, hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong?" Mrs. Wei asked with a frown.

"Just now I sent the things left by those little ladies outside the second gate, and I heard crying outside, it seems that something happened." Yin Xing's expression was not very good.

There were not one or two cries in that crowd, the cries and shouts were terrified.

"I'll go and have a look." Mrs. Wei stood up loudly.

Mrs. Shi followed suit and stood up.

"You look bad, don't go, you three don't move, I'll come back after I go and have a look." Mrs. Wei Fourth held Mrs. Shi down, told her two younger sisters and Mrs. Pan Jiu, and walked out quickly.

Not long after, Mrs. Wei Si came back.

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Shi looked at Mrs. Wei's inexplicable expression.

"It's Yang Wuye who is taking people, and he took a lot of people." Mrs. Wei Si didn't know what expression to put on.

It was the first time she had experienced such a thing as taking people away right after the banquet was over, and turning guests into criminals in the blink of an eye.

Mrs. Shi raised her brows slightly, and after a while, she slowly let out an oh.

The ones who got it should all be officials related to the customs department. I'm afraid this banquet was just to get people.

....................................

Ah Wu didn't see the matter of arresting people. She stood until she watched the prince raise the cup once, the drum music rose, then fell, raised the cup again, and the music rose again. She watched and listened with great interest, and saw the prince stand up leave.

After the shift change, everyone was detained in the room where the servants rested. When they were released to go home, there was only birds chirping outside, and it was as quiet as usual.

When Ah Wu came home, Li Xiaonan had already arrived.

At dinner, everyone at the table looked at A Wu, listening to her happily talking about her experience during the day, and listening to her waving her hands every few sentences to conclude: boring.

Ah Wu was talking lively, and everyone was listening with great interest, when a voice came from outside the courtyard asking, "Is Miss Li at home?"

"I go!"

Ah Wu jumped up and came back soon, holding on to the door frame, pointing at Li Xiaonan, "I'm looking for you."

"Who?" Li Xiaonan frowned and asked.

"I don't know him. He's in his 50s, dressed in silk, and smiling like that." Ah Wu squeezed out a smile, nodded and bowed.

"I'll go and have a look." Li Xuedong stood up.

"No, you asked who he is and what he wants from me." Li Xiaonan reached out to stop Li Xuedong, looked at A Wudao.

"it is good!"

Ah Wu turned around and came back soon.

"He said his surname was Shi, and he was the president of our Pingjiang Silk Company. He said he wanted to greet you."

"Tell him that I'm not at home, not tomorrow, and not the day after tomorrow." Li Xiaonan said bluntly.

"Okay!" Ah Wu said simply.

"It's a silk business. Could it be a business matter?" Li Jinzhu looked at Li Xiaonan and asked.

"No." Li Xiaonan answered with certainty, paused, looked at Li Xuedong and said, "Maybe someone will come to you, give you money, give you valuables, cry with you, beg you to see me, or Pleading, or anything else, you don’t want to see it, you can’t avoid bumping into it, or you’re blocked, don’t listen, don’t accept anything, don’t pay attention, just go away.”

"What happened?" Li Yuzhu was shocked when he heard that.

"Let's go." Ah Wu stepped on the threshold, "Look at him like that, he doesn't give up. I'll lock the courtyard door."

"Let me tell you, it's better for everyone to know than not to know." Li Xiaonan sighed, "Today the crown prince gave a banquet in the Wangfu Bieye, and the prince copied the Jiangnan Silk Head Office and the Sea Tax Department in Linhai Town, and arrested many people. , there are probably quite a few people who will raid their homes.”

The room was silent.

"I'll just say it! Why didn't you see Shizi!" Ah Wu slapped his thigh.

"Then there's nothing wrong with our house? Why did you find our house?" Sister Mei asked with a pale face, looking at Li Xiaonan.

"The reason why they came to our house was to ask our aunt to intercede for them." Awu stretched out his head and replied.

"Tomorrow morning, I will pay the money and buy the house. Don't go to the workshop tomorrow, and clean up with Sister Mei. We will move there after the deed is completed." Li Jinzhu looked at Li Yuzhu and said.

"Okay." Li Yuzhu nodded hurriedly.

The president of the silk guild who came to the door suddenly, Ah Nan's words, she was a little frightened.

"I'll come and help Sister Mei tidy up." Wang Yuting laughed hastily.

"I also……"

"You follow Ah Nan. Otherwise, Ah Nan can go to the opposite tea house to escape tomorrow." Li Jinzhu cut off Ah Wu's words, looked at Li Xiaonan and said.

Li Xiaonan lowered her eyes and hummed.

Tomorrow she wants to go to Bieye to see what's going on in front of the bullock cart, and she will go there quietly tomorrow, so I won't mention it right now. What happened now has already scared the elder sister and the second elder sister a little.

"Yuting will come with me tomorrow, let's go to Hong's house first, and we have to explain to Yinzhu." Li Jinzhu continued.

Wang Yuting nodded repeatedly.

After dinner, Wang Yuting and A Wu went back to the tea house. After a while, the courtyard door slammed, and A Wu's voice sounded outside.

Miss Mei ran to open the door, Awu carried a small basket of grapes, stepped over the threshold, and motioned for Miss Mei to close the door quickly.

Ah Wu rushed into the upper room, put the grape basket on the table, looked at Li Xiaonan and said, "The shopkeeper asked me to go over and tell you that the president surnamed Shi didn't leave, and the cart was parked at the frame shop. The concave place is watching you."

"I see." Li Xiaonan drooped her shoulders and wanted to sigh.

"I'm leaving." Ah Wu clapped his hands and went out, walked out of the courtyard door, turned back and told Sister Mei in a low voice, "bolt the door tightly, and put a bucket of water behind it, in case someone breaks in, push the bucket down The movement is loud and can be heard."

Sister Mei looked nervous and kept nodding.

In the main room, Li Jinzhu watched Ah Wu come out, and said to Li Yuzhu: "If there is time, we will move tomorrow afternoon, first move there, the house has four or five gates."

"En." Li Yuzhu responded, and looked at Li Xiaonan worriedly.

Li Xiaonan was holding the book in her hand, keeping her eyes fixed on her, as if concentrating on reading.
