Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 855: Can’t speak yet!
The banknotes from the Zhao family that we received? Not to mention, almost all of them were issued by this bank, unlike the Gao family, which had more banknotes.

Even Mrs. Qian is not so loyal. It is impossible that the Zhao family would send all their funds in and out through this bank just because it has the largest branch in the county.

Zhou Banxia finally understood what Gu Wenxuan meant. He suspected the Zhao family. To be more precise, it was this money house that the Third Master Zhao approached when he was short of working capital to start his own business.

Moreover, the initial introducer should have been through this Shopkeeper Zhang, so the relationship between Mr. Zhao Sanye and this Shopkeeper Zhang must be better than it appears on the surface.

But, here comes the problem!

The Wu family, once the richest man in Qingyang County, has fallen. As the biggest beneficiary, Mr. Zhao Sanye of the Zhao family, did he learn from the shopkeeper Zhang that Mr. Wu had left behind a sum of money?

"You said that the Wu family was defeated so quickly. Was it Uncle Zhao who had any influence?" Zhou Banxia couldn't help but quickly swallow the food in her mouth and asked a question she had wanted to ask for a long time.

The answers given by each person are really very different.

Her father-in-law said that the Wu Mansion was deliberately destroyed by Old Madam Wu and her daughters, while Manager Wang told her that the Zhao family was not innocent.

When it was her father's turn, he gave another explanation. He said that Mr. Zhao Sanye must have joined forces with County Magistrate Huang, who had not yet established a firm foothold, so the Zhao family took the lion's share of the Wu Mansion's profits.

"Didn't I tell you to eat me?"

Zhou Banxia wiped his mouth with chopsticks, then picked up the soup spoon with his other hand and scooped the soup into his mouth while winking at Gu Wenxuan.

Gu Wenxuan suppressed his laughter and snatched the chopsticks from her before she put them down, "Whether Uncle Zhao San did anything shady or not, only he knows.

Disgusting things like luring Mr. Wu's only son into gambling, drinking and redeeming prostitutes from a brothel should not have been instigated by him, and he did not dare to ruin the reputation of his Zhao family.

You can see it from the time he bought the villa from the Wu Mansion. He was a good guy and bought it without bargaining. He still wouldn't dare to do anything wrong in his hometown.

The Zhao family was not the only one with backers in Qingyang County. The Liao family and the Tian family originally had a similar status to that of Mr. Wu. How could he dare to go too far at that time?

When the rabbit dies, the fox mourns. His methods were too cruel. The Tian family was suppressed, but a lean camel is bigger than a horse. The Liao family had already joined forces with the Tian family to suppress the Zhao family.

In my opinion, he is just taking advantage of the situation. Just like this time, the Liao family and the Tian family are very happy to do us a favor and promote us.

At that time, they should have considered that if Lord Zhao rose to prominence and the Zhao family became powerful, none of them would be able to hold on to the lion's share of the Wu Mansion.

After all, Qingyang County is so small, and the bulk of the profits are in the hands of these few families. If the Zhao family wants to take it, they can only take it from these few families. Why bother to make enemies with the Zhao family?

It can only be said that at that time, only when the Wu family collapsed could the other families realize the greatest benefits. The Zhao family replacing the Wu family has become an inevitable result. "

Now that the Huang and Qian families have collapsed, we have become the inevitable result of replacing them? Zhou Banxia tapped his mouth with a spoon: Can you speak?
"The soup is getting cold."

Can’t speak yet!
"That's why I said that there's no need for us to distance ourselves from this shopkeeper Zhang. Hey, why are you still talking about him? Well, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to the study now."

You are so wicked, you deserve to be beaten!
"Then I take it back and write it?"

"roll!"

"Hahaha……"

fool!

Just your white teeth! This daughter-in-law, her expression is getting more and more vivid now! Gu Wenxuan touched Zhou Banxia's fat face with an itchy hand, "We should not show our joy on our face, nor our anger on our words."

"Ha, you bastard." Zhou Banxia couldn't help but glared at him. "You can let Mai Xiang in. I'm full. Go and do your thing."

What should I do if I can’t bear to leave? Unfortunately, the clock rang on time again, as if urging me to leave. Some things cannot be delayed and I need to give instructions as soon as possible.

When he returned to the study in the front yard, Jiaxing had already returned. Gu Wenxuan took a stack of colored paper that was obviously different from rice paper from Jiaxing and quickly walked to the desk.

There were several sheets of rice paper spread out on the desk, waiting for the ink to dry. He didn't even glance at them and put the stack of papers in his hand directly on the chair.

Seeing this, Jiaxing hurried to the bookcase nearby and took out a pack of square papers about an inch thick. Then he walked closer to the desk, and Gu Wenxuan just put away the last piece of rice paper on the desk.

The rice papers hanging on the desk were not because Jiaxing was lazy and didn't organize them in advance, but because he and Zhiming were well aware of their Second Master's habit.

——The calligraphy and articles that their second master practiced cannot be moved as long as they are on the desk, even if the ink has dried.

He cleverly placed the bundle of papers in his hands carefully on an empty corner of the desk and neatly untied the thin hemp rope that bound them.

Then he pinched two fingers of his right hand and took out about ten pieces of paper. He placed the ten pieces of paper in the upper middle of the desk so that Gu Wenxuan could use them conveniently.

Look, his second master picked up a pen and dipped it in ink in one hand, picked up a piece of paper in the other hand, and began to draw. Yes, it was drawing, not writing. He would write only after the drawing was finished.

Jiaxing knew at a glance that Gu Wenxuan was going to draw a picture and then mark it with small words. When it was finished, he could take the drawings out to find someone.

When he started writing, Gu Wenxuan was very fast and soon finished six sketches.

During this period, while he was drawing a picture, Jiaxing would take one away to dry. He could also assign other matters to Jiaxing and ask him to go to so and so to hand over the work.

If he replaced it with a servant who was slow to react or had a poor memory, he might not be able to keep up with his pace. That was why Zhou Banxia had suggested that he pick a few more servants to train by his side.

For example, Zhiming was different from Jiaxing, who later served as his servant, in that he was literate. Compared with Huiming, Zhiming was smarter, so he was given to Gu Wenxuan by Gu Erlang.

backyard.

When Zhou Banxia learned that Jiaxing was serving Gu Wenxuan in the study room in front, she knew that her guess was correct. How dare he say something like "bring it back and write it down".

She believed that he was busy with his studies in the study before, but it was almost noon and obviously not a good time to continue reviewing. He could have taken the time to deal with the chores first.

He wished he could use the two servants around him as three people each. Since Zhiming had gone to the city to do some business early this morning, how could the remaining Jiaxing escape?
He must have been sent by him to do something in the workshop in front, in the back mountain, or in Hexi early in the morning, and he just happened to come back after finishing his work at this time.

Next, she could guess what her man would most likely send Jiaxing to do next, and then he would say something to match what he said, "Bring it back and write it down."

The sun came out again today.

Zhou Banxia moved the after-meal walk to the courtyard and thought that Gu Wenxuan would definitely come back in less than an hour, so she simply didn't go back to the room and decided to wait and see.

"young married woman?"

Look, the rabbit is coming!
