Zhumen Chunshen

Chapter 166 The result of Qianshan's investigation

Yao Cunhui smiled "puchi", sighed softly and stroked his head.

"He is really weird and uneasy, you have to do my sister a favor later." Yao Cunhui laughed.

Without much effort, Ma Huai'an came back with a chessboard and chess piece box in his arms.He just wanted to be alone with Yao Cunhui, and didn't let the servant follow him.

Whether it is the deity or the current Yao Cunhui, they only know a little about Go, and after a while on the board, Yao Cunhui is in chaos, all relying on Yao Shizan who can't help but point out.

In the end, Yao Cunhui stood up and said with a smile, "Zan'er, come and play chess with third cousin, I'm a little tired, go to cousin Qunfang's place to have a rest!"

Ma Huai'an opened his mouth to stop him, but Yao Shizan refused, and pitifully begged his third cousin to play chess with him. Ma Huai'an had no choice but to sit down and continue, and then comforted himself: Doesn't the second cousin love this cousin the most?It's not bad to please him and let him speak for me in front of my second cousin!
What fun is there in Ma's house?Yao Cunmei and Ma Qunfang sat lazily on the kang in the room, talking without a word, yawning from sleepiness.

Seeing Yao Cunhui coming in, the two of them gave a "huh" in surprise and regained their energy.

"My cousin and third sister are here, so it's easy for me to find them!" Yao Cunhui smiled and stepped forward to sit down.

"I wanted to ask you to come and sit down, but I heard that you were talking in front of grandma!" Ma Qunfang laughed.

"Where is Zan'er? Where did you go?" Yao Cunmei wondered when she saw that Yao Shizan was not with Yao Cunhui.

Yao Cunhui laughed and said, "Second Cousin wants to play Go, and Zan'er is playing Go with him in the pavilion!"

Ma Qunfang smiled and said, "Really? Let's go and have a look too!"

Ma Qunfang naturally understood the thoughts of aunts, grandparents, uncles and aunts.Yao Cunhui didn't get along with her cousin to enhance her relationship at the moment, instead she was with her. Grandma and her cousin would definitely be angry when they found out, and Ma Qunfang didn't think she could bear their anger.

"I want to go with you, I don't want to go!" Yao Cunhui yawned, leaned directly on one end of the kang, and said vaguely: "I have been talking with my grandmother for a long time. I am very sleepy. I have to squint. For a while! Cousin, don't you mind if I take a rest here?"

Ma Qunfang forced a smile and shook his head, "Why would you mind!"

"Why don't you rest, there is nothing left and right, let's play leaf cards!" Yao Cunmei is not interested in watching some Go games, although she doesn't like Yao Cunhui, when she is bored, she can still pass the time with her.

Right now, Ma Qunfang couldn't say anything more.

Yao Cunhui smiled and nodded in agreement.The three of them played cards in the house.

After living in Ma's house for two days, Ma Huai'an racked his brains, and the Ma's family tried their best, but Yao Cunhui was as slippery as a loach. Together with Yao Shizan and sister, Ma Huai'an didn't let Ma Huai'an find a little bit of solitude. chance to get along.

Yao Cunhui suddenly felt that it is better for a person to have a thicker skin and pretend to be deaf and dumb. Ma Huaian was so angry that he wanted to jump, but there was nothing he could do about her!

Two days later, Yao Cunmei didn't want to stay any longer, and clamored to go home to accompany her mother. Yao Cunhui also smiled and said that Zan'er still had to study in the study!The Ma family had no choice but to send their siblings and their soldiers, Ma Qunfang, back.

"It's just this kind of family who dares to play Miss's idea, the toad wants to eat swan meat!" Rong Ma whispered to Yao Cunhui softly.

Yao Cunhui smiled slightly, they didn't want to eat swan meat, what they really wanted was the Yao family's money and the Yun family's help!

Back at Luomei Courtyard, Hong Liao busily smiled and stepped forward to help her wash her face and change her clothes, and then quietly handed an envelope to Yao Cunhui: "Second Miss, this is what Wu Jin sent in, saying that someone asked him to pass it on to Miss, and it was something Miss wanted. This servant has been hiding this letter close to her body, and no one else has seen it!"

Yao Cunhui's heart tightened, and he hurriedly took it back to the bedroom to have a look. It was Qian Shan who asked her to meet, and it happened to be today!

Have you made progress?Yao Cunhui's heart suddenly thumped violently, and his fingertips trembled slightly.

She held the letter paper tightly, forced her ups and downs to calm down, thought for a while, and left the house immediately.

"But what did you find?" Yao Cunhui asked impatiently as soon as he met him.

Qian Shan shook his head, then nodded again, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Miss Yao, don't worry, the little one you mentioned, Bai Muyuan, has indeed been found."

"What is this person's background?" Yao Cunhui's voice was a little nervous, secretly hoping that she was thinking too much.

Qian Shan said: "This person seems to be friends with the young master of the Lu family. The villain doesn't know what his background is. It was also a coincidence. It happened that an acquaintance of the villain's Lu family accidentally saw the portrait that day and said The person is a friend of Lu Xianchong, the second son of their parents! The name, age, and appearance are all right. But he can't tell what kind of friend they are. I heard that Bai Muyuan is a foreigner. It's the Northwest, no one can tell."

"When did he start appearing in the Lu family? How close is his relationship with that Mr. Lu?" Yao Cunhui was also very surprised after hearing this. She never expected that Bai Muyuan would actually have a relationship with the Mr. Lu of the Lu family!
"In the past two or three years, he would come to Lu's house once or twice every year to meet with Mr. Lu, and then leave after three or two days." Qian Shan said, looking at Yao Cunhui with some embarrassment.

I come every year, which means that the relationship should not be shallow; but each time I only stay for three or two days, it seems that the friendship is not deep!Yao Cunhui only felt that his head was big.

"This Mr. Bai is a scholar. Maybe he befriended Mr. Lu for his future career, maybe!" Qian Shan felt that this was the only way to say it.

"What you said makes sense." Yao Cunhui sighed softly: "But, it's really just a coincidence that his master and servant followed my grain cart? It seems a bit too coincidental! And—"

Yao Cunhui shook his head and did not continue.

Moreover, who is the Lu family?It's the mother's family!This son Lu Xianchong is the second son of Lu Fang, the current head of the Lu family.

The head of the Lu family has two legitimate sons. The eldest son, Lu Xianchang, is in command of the Imperial Forest Army; the second son, Lu Xianchong, does not serve in the imperial court. It is said that he manages the Lu family's farm and shop.If Bai Muyuan wanted to be promoted, shouldn't she make friends with Lu Xianchang?How could it be Lu Xianchong?
The Lu family is eyeing three businesses now, one is Jiangning weaving, the other is rice trading, and the other is water transportation and sea transportation, which Yao Cunhui has long known.

"Qianshan, can we find out more information about him?" Yao Cunhui asked.

Qian Shan smiled wryly and shook his head, "Miss Yao, I've tried my best! To be honest, Miss Yao, it was because I searched and searched and couldn't find anything. I felt something was wrong in my heart, so I quickly informed Miss Yao! Miss Yao, The little one also thinks that this person must be difficult, and now that Master Yao is not in the capital, you should make preparations early!"

Yao Cunhui's heart shuddered, and he immediately understood Qian Shan's meaning: If Bai Muyuan was just an ordinary scholar seeking to advance, with a clean family background, there was no reason why he couldn't find out!Now that I can't find it by all means, this in itself is very telling!

"Thank you Qianshan!" Yao Cunhui thought for a while, and said slowly: "If he really came after us in collusion with the Lu family, he must be in the capital at this time. Please check for me again. His whereabouts cannot be traced!"

"Yes, Miss Yao!" Qian Shan immediately agreed.

"Thank you!" Yao Cunhui nodded, not wanting to say anything else, and immediately went to the main shop after leaving the gate of the teahouse.

"Hey, Hui'er!" Seeing Yao Cunhui appearing in the yard, Master Yao's face immediately collapsed, and he said calmly, "Didn't you go to your grandfather's house to celebrate the old man's birthday? Not much Stay for two days?"

"I just returned home today, Second Uncle!" Yao Cunhui stepped forward to bend his knees and smiled.

"Haha!" Elder Yao looked up to the sky and yelled haha, and said with a half smile but not a smile: "Hui'er really worked hard, she just came back to the house today, and she ran to the store at this time, she is more caring than elder brother! As expected He is the successor of the Yao family's rice line, as expected!"

"I have something very important to tell Second Uncle, shopkeeper Hao, and accountant Lin, Second Uncle, let's go inside and talk!" Yao Cunhui avoided the quarrel with Master Yao Second.

Master Yao Er saw her unmoved, clear water, and felt depressed for a while. Seeing that the passers-by were subconsciously slowing down or simply stopping to look at her, he finally calmed down and nodded. He smiled lightly: "Okay, then go back to the room and talk!"

After a while, shopkeeper Hao, accountant Lin and several core members arrived, and Yao Cunhui slowly explained the matter.

"Bai Muyuan? The Lu family?" The second master Yao became anxious when he heard this, "Then the Lu family wanted to take a stake in our Yao family's rice business, but was rejected by the elder brother. I didn't expect to still think about it now! Huier, that Bai Didn't Mu Yuan follow you all the way? Why didn't you notice it at all!"

"We were suspicious at first, but the three of them, master and servant, didn't come into contact with our buddies along the way, and they didn't go up to curry favor or other suspicious behaviors, so——I was indeed negligent!" Yao Cunhui smiled wryly.

"What's the use of talking about it now?" Elder Yao frowned and said, "I hope elder brother will come back soon!"

Shopkeeper Hao and others all showed approval when they heard the words, and at the same time, they frowned slightly. Master Yao was not there, and everyone seemed to be taken out of their hearts, and they felt panic for no reason.

"Second Miss, is your news reliable? Is that Bai person really related to the Lu family?" Asked the accountant Lin with high cheekbones and slender eyes.

"The news is absolutely reliable!" Yao Cunhui said: "After I returned to Beijing, I faintly realized that this person was wrong, so I asked a reliable person to investigate him secretly, and I couldn't be wrong."

"Who did you ask to check for you?" Master Yao Er asked.

"Excuse me for the inconvenience of telling my niece for the time being." Yao Cunhui lowered his eyes.

Master Yao Er silently hummed, and stopped asking her with a sullen face.He knew that if he asked again, he would be making fun of himself.Yao Cunhui made up his mind not to speak, because I am afraid that no one will be able to ask.
