Madam, go home and farm

Chapter 276 Gossip
There were no servants at home, so Puhuang could only cook. Hong Haoan put Wanwan in the cradle beside him, and chatted with Chen Dahua with two plates of lo mei and a pot of small wine, mainly talking about the relationship between the two after they left Yuntongzhou. matter.Then, while talking, the topic came to Xue Shao. Of course, Hong Haoan would not ask Xue Shao's name bluntly.

"By the way, Brother Chen, you are in the capital, do you know about Xue Bai? I heard that he is young and promising, he has a tendency to become an imperial businessman, and he is also in love with Princess Xinyuan. He is really amazing!" Hong Haoan seemed He casually said, "A few days ago, someone from the north came to buy pickled duck eggs and chatted for a while. Speaking of this, I was curious and wanted to ask you more questions. Is the princess really going to marry? "

Generally speaking, princesses seldom marry merchants, and Xue Bai might be an exception.

"I didn't think the news about coaxing my brother is well-informed. You also know the news about the capital here." Chen Dahua took a chicken paw and gnawed slowly, not avoiding this question. It's not a secret anymore, everyone is saying that His Majesty will mention Xue Shao as an imperial merchant, that is a supreme honor."

Chen Dahua looked proud, looked at Hong Haoan's surprised face, couldn't help laughing and said: "How about it, I'm surprised, isn't it, Young Master Xue's real name is Xue Bai, but everyone calls him Young Master Xue, Some people call him Mr. Xue in private, but everyone thinks Mr. Xue is someone else."

Hong Haoan shook his hand holding the chopsticks, "Brother Chen, if you tell me about this, there will be no problem, right?"

"It's nothing, you just don't say it outside, otherwise there will be many people climbing up." Chen Dahua said with a smile, it's really not a big deal, everyone will say it in private.

"Then I can rest assured, otherwise it will be my fault if Brother Chen commits a crime because of my curiosity." Hong Hao'an was slightly relieved, exaggerating slightly, but in fact he was a little entangled in his heart. Maybe Bai came to look for Xiaoxi, "Come on, brother Chen, drink, drink."

"What can you do? What are you worrying about? This is Chuncheng. If you're in the capital, you have to be careful what you say." Chen Dahua drank the wine in his glass, and his whole body looked the same as usual, but Hong Haoan's face It's all red. Over the past year, because of entertainment, his drinking capacity has increased a lot, but relatively speaking, it is still shallow.

"That's true, but Young Master Xue is really surprising. When we met yesterday, I really couldn't see how powerful he is. He doesn't look much older than me."

"What can you tell from this appearance? It's just that Xue Shao has been with the old man at a young age, and he has helped out ideas and business. I can't wait for a young man to be a hero." Chen Dahua said with a sigh, "It's me , that is, a small steward, if I hadn't been familiar with the environment in Laichun City, I wouldn't be able to talk to Young Master Xue."

"Brother Chen, everyone has their own life, just live well, the rest, let's talk about entertainment after dinner."

"Brother Hong, you are open-minded and open-minded. Come, let's drink hot soup to relieve the hangover."

Pu Huang's cooking skills are considered average, but since Hong Hao'an wanted to drink, she specially made some hot soup and hot dishes that can relieve the hangover, and after eating by herself, she carried her sleeping daughter back to the room, thinking about the Conversation between Hong Haoan and Chen Dahua.

She was wondering if she should let Xiaoxi know about this news. After all, when she asked them to do something, she didn't really inquire about it, otherwise she wouldn't have found out that Xue Bai is Mr. Xue now.She couldn't tell what Xiaoxi's identity was, but with Princess Xinyuan around, she hoped that Xiaoxi had nothing to do with Xue Bai.

For several days, Hong Haoan entertained Chen Dahua. The two talked about the world, mainly about business matters, the difference between the north and the south, and the price difference of the goods, which made Hong Haoan know a lot.

Moreover, Chen Dahua also knows a lot about shipping. What Lu Yuan knows is the difference in policy. What he knows are small things, such as private fleets, recruiting sailors, recruiting, and recruiting businessmen. Take risks and so on.

"Brother Hong, if I were a few years younger, I would definitely go out to sea. Unfortunately, I have a wife and son, so I have to rest my mind." Chen Dahua was impassioned and regretful when talking about shipping, "However, I have a Brother, I want to buy a batch of businessmen to trade with the ship, I plan to invest money in it, take a gamble, and if it succeeds, I will come out and open a shop, so as to save a lifetime of being in charge, have you ever thought about it?"

Hong Haoan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that Chen Dahua would want to recruit himself into the group. In fact, these days, he has also heard people say that if he has a large sum of money, he will definitely make a lot of money when the ship returns. When he heard it, he was also very moved, but he was not so moved as to do this impulsively.

"Brother Chen, there are too many unpredictable things to go on a long voyage to the sea. If the money goes in, there will be nothing left. I dare not take this risk." Hong Haoan thought about it, and told the truth.

"Hey, you are cautious. I really want to try my best, but I'm not crazy enough to invest all my money in it. If I fail, I will leave the capital and come to Spring City to open a shop. Brother Hong, don't be disgusted by then."

"Brother Chen, why do you say such frustrating words, you will definitely make a lot of money." The key is to choose a good fleet, strong ones, "I think Xue's family will definitely not let this shipping go, if your friends are willing With the Xue family's fleet, the chances of success are much better."

Sailing out to sea, the weather is unpredictable, the route is difficult to say, and the locals don't know whether they are barbaric or not, everything is uncertain.

"Then ask Brother Hong for auspicious words." Chen Dahua didn't try to persuade him any more. He was just asking, and he didn't really want Hong Haoan to invest in it. Quite a few, why take risks?

During the period of accompanying Chen Dahua, Hong Haoan also told Lu Yuan the news that Xue Bai had arrived in Chuncheng, and it was none of his business whether to tell Princess Xinyuan or not.To be honest, Hong Hao'an is really a little strange. Princess Xinyuan is from the Tian family, so there should be many sources of information. How come there is no news about Xue Bai?Unless Xue Bai has been avoiding Princess Xinyuan and hiding his tracks.

Hong Hao'an doesn't understand the twists and turns here, as long as their entanglements don't affect him.

On the contrary, Lu Yuan frowned when he got the news about Hong Haoan. He also sent someone to watch at the pier, but there were so many people that it was possible to miss it. It's normal not to recognize makeup.

After thinking about it, Lu Yuan decided to suppress this matter first, and after a while, when Xue Bai was about to leave, he would report to Princess Xinyuan and send him away in one fell swoop.

On the other side, Puhuang and Hong Haoan discussed it, and decided to tell Mr. Qin and Xiaoxi about it, to see what they think. If they still want to avoid Xue Bai, they will help them, after all, what they promised them at the beginning Not doing well.

"Miss Pu, why are you free to come over today? Where is Wanwan?" Xiaoxi is in a small room, which is messy and has nowhere to go. There are all kinds of tools. It is the place where she makes hairpin jewelry. , she was very surprised to see Puhuang coming.

"Xiaoxi, I have something to tell you, are you free now?"

Xiaoxi wiped off the liquid on her hands, walked out the door, closed it carefully, and sat down on the chair in the hall with Puhuang, "Miss Pu, what's the matter?" Xiaoxi frowned slightly, feeling that Puhuang wanted to tell herself Things seem to be important.

"Xiaoxi, you should be mentally prepared for what I want to tell you."

Xiaoxi was anxious, "Miss Pu, did something happen to my grandpa?" Qin Laojiao's children were not in the yard here, but mainly in the yard rented by Dashu. Seeing Puhuang's expression so Be careful, all she can think of is that something happened to Mr. Qin.

Pu Huang patted Xiaoxi's hand and comforted him: "Don't worry, your grandpa is fine. What I want to tell you is another matter. Didn't you ask us to find out about Mr. Xue for you? We didn’t find out at that time, and we forgot to ask you for more details. Now you tell me, is that Mr. Xue called Xue Bai? ?”

Xiao Xi's eyes widened suddenly, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, she looked at Pu Huang's serious face, and quietly looked away, finally she bit her lips and nodded: "Miss Pu, I'm sorry, I was I didn't tell you in detail, it was my fault, I just, just..."

It's just that Xiaoxi didn't say anything, just sobbing there.

Puhuang sighed silently, "Did you know that Princess Xinyuan has been in Chuncheng for a long time, and Xue Bai came here just a few days ago and said to go to work, but she hasn't come back now, you said , what are you going to do now?"

Xiaoxi wiped away her tears, her eyes were red, she bit her lower lip, "You said, Princess Xinyuan is also in Xincheng?"

"Xiaoxi, what are you hiding?" Puhuang frowned, don't tell her that she is hiding from Princess Xinyuan, now she doesn't want to confront Princess Xinyuan again, it won't be solved every time, "You Hiding from Princess Xinyuan?"

"No, Sister Pu, I..." After hesitating for a while, Xiaoxi still told her life experience, "My name is not Xiaoxi, but Sister Youxi, and I was married to Xue Bai. My father left the capital with his wife and children, not wanting to be hunted down, so I followed Grandpa Qin to Chuncheng, and I was freed from all troubles along the way, and you will know in the end."

"Princess Xinyuan sent someone to chase her down?"

"No, it's my third uncle, who is now the head of the You family." Saying this, Xiaoxi almost gritted her teeth.

"So, what do you want to do now?"

"I don't know, Miss Pu, I can't show up, my third uncle won't let me go."

"If my guess is correct, Xue Bo came to Spring City to look for you. If he has news about you, I believe your third uncle is no exception. You and Xue Bai are baby relatives. He is willing to protect you. You will be safe and sound. But with Princess Xinyuan here, it’s not certain." Puhuang said, and looked at Xiaoxi again, knowing that she had already made a decision in her heart, "Since you have made a decision, then do it."
