Chapter 1339 ·Evil

The two of them walked around the backyard, and Lian Qiao hurried to look for someone, "Sixth Master, Master Zhi, the old lady is asking you to go back."

Min Tingke asked, "Have the Xia family gone?"

"Let's go." Lian Qiao nodded, "The old lady is afraid of the hot weather. The two masters have been away from the sun for a long time."

Min Tingke said, "We have been walking in the shade of trees, but we don't feel hot. Instead, there is wind on all sides, which is much more comfortable than in the house."

The two returned to Yinfeng Pavilion. Mrs. Min was discussing something with Madam Yi in a low voice. When she heard the footsteps, she stopped talking and said with a smile, "Why have you two been there for so long? You are not afraid of heatstroke. Come on, bring the sour plum soup."

Yujin brought two bowls of cool sour plum soup.

Min Tingke asked, "What's going on with the Xia family?"

Mrs. Min obviously didn't want to say much, and said perfunctorily, "It's nothing big. The Xia family hasn't had a wedding for several years. I want to do a good job while Miss Jiu is engaged. I gave me a wedding invitation because of the past relationship. But I don't want to make trouble, so I'll let Madam Yi go over and share the gifts."

Obviously, I was not going to attend, but I was so polite that I could not attend.

Min Tingke was not so interested in the Xia family, so he nodded when he heard the sound, "When is the day set?"

Mrs. Min said, "The fourth day of the seventh month."

July is the Ghost Festival, and most people will not choose to marry in this month, which seems unlucky, let alone a wealthy family like the Xia family who is extremely shameless?

Something must have happened inside, so I was in a hurry to marry my daughter.

Min Tingke was too lazy to inquire and said casually, "It's really hard for the Xia family to be hot."

He picked up the sour plum soup and started drinking it in small sips.

Seeing that he did not ask any more questions, Mrs. Min glanced at Madam Yi.

Madam Yi knew it very well.

Sixth Master is so smart, what can’t you guess?

The Xia family was anxious to marry their daughter because Miss Jiu secretly talked with others. Now that she is too big to get married, she will not be able to hide it. For the sake of fame, the Xia family originally wanted to send Miss Jiu to the ancestral temple to practice. At that time, it would be a little bit of meaning, and one corpse and two lives would be defeated. However, Miss Jiu was not a peaceful master. After the incident was revealed, she knew that her life was not long, so she immediately sent her wet nurse out of the mansion, and the Xia family searched for it but couldn't find anyone.

Miss Jiu used this to threaten the Xia family. Once she died, the wet nurse would tell the truth outside. The Xia family ignored the life and death of their children for the sake of their family. By then, the reputation would be over. No one would get the best.

The Xia family had no choice but to agree to the marriage.

The Xia family originally didn't want to do it, but Miss Jiu said she didn't agree to anything, and said, "It's probably more noticeable to get married quietly. It's better to do it and block others' mouths when giving birth, and just say it's premature birth to the public."

The Xia family thought this was a bit reasonable, so they thought about it and finally decided to do it like a normal marriage.

The manager who came to deliver the letter today was reminded by Mr. Xia and did not dare to say anything. Instead, the mother who accompanied him was the young maid of the old aunt of the Xia family, and quietly told Madam Yi about the whole story.

Mrs. Min was originally unwilling to have more contact with the Xia family, and she would not show up even if she knew the inside story.

After lunch, Min Tingke said goodbye and left, and Bai Rongxuan sent him to the gate, "Uncle Six, when will you set out for Tianjin? Will you come here before leaving?"

Min Tingke said, "I have been leaving quietly these two days, trying not to hear the wind, and most likely won't come again. What, do you have anything else?"

Bai Rongxuan shook her head, "No more, please be careful on the way."

Min Tingke smiled slightly, "Don't worry, there will be no problem. But you should think carefully about taking over the family business at home. The etiquette of the day was complicated, so you'd better make a preparation in advance."

Bai Rongxuan said in surprise, "What else do you need to prepare?"

Min Tingke said, "You might as well ask Manager Hu in the mansion for this matter. He has served your grandfather and is deeply trusted and knowledgeable. With him to guide you, he will be better than anyone else."

Manager Hu?

Bai Rongxuan said, "Will he agree?"

Min Tingke said, "You are the serious master of the third room and he is the manager of the family. Do you dare not listen to your instructions? If he doesn't want to take Qiao, you will give him a few pots of good wine. I heard that he likes this one the most."

Bai Rongxuan had no choice but to nod and agree.

Min Tingke continued, "As for the Foreign Minister's Office, let me talk about it when I come back and see Bai Yuanze. However, it is the Jiang family's business, please let Brother Yao do it quickly. If you have no money at hand, please ask Wu Jie to go to the Min family to find the manager to withdraw it. I will say hello to the family in advance."

Bai Rongxuan said, "No, I have some money in my hands."

Min Tingke said, "It's best not to be prepared for any trouble. If you can't turn around for a while, won't you have an emergency place? Why are you so scheming!"

Bai Rongxuan had no choice but to agree, "I understand, thank you, Uncle Six."

Min Tingke said with satisfaction, "Also... I don't want to hang out with the butler. Their family is full of people who are more selfish than selfish."

Not all right...

At least Guan Bozhou is a rare good person.

She shut up and said nothing.

Min Tingke snorted, "I am doing this for your own good. If I don't listen to the old man, I will suffer a loss in front of me!"

Bai Rongxuan couldn't help laughing, "What kind of old man are you? You are obviously a few years younger than me."

Min Tingke deliberately looked stern, "I am much older than you. Why? Do you dare to disrespect your elders?"

Bai Rongxuan smiled and said, "I dare not, I will do whatever I say," she said.

The weather has been so hot recently, and she didn't plan to go out and walk around.

Min Tingke nodded happily, "I'm leaving, you should go back as well. If my aunt asks, don't say anything."

Bai Rongxuan agreed, "I won't talk too much."

Min Tingke walked out of the door lightly and left in a car.

Bai Rongxuan returned to Yinfeng Pavilion and accompanied Mrs. Min to draw two flowers and birds.

After having supper at Mrs. Min's place, she returned to Ruyi Pavilion tiredly.

Seeing the sky getting darker, Bai Rongxuan suddenly missed homesick. She didn't know what the weather was in Hangzhou at this moment, what her grandmother was doing, and how her mother's health was...

She lay in front of the window, looking at the brilliant sunset in the sky, and her mind was full of life in Hangzhou.

Aunt Fang washed some fruits and brought them.

Bai Rongxuan asked curiously, "Where did it come from? Did the old lady give it to you?"

Aunt Fang said, "No, this was sent by Tao Qingda."

Bai Rongxuan smiled and said, "Oh? Can we all eat the fruits of the third bedroom?"

Aunt Fang said, "It was given by people from the orchard outside. I used to plant trees in the Lixuetang and bought a lot of seedlings from the orchard. The fruit farmers always remembered this grace. As soon as the first fruit came down, they tasted it for us."

Bai Rongxuan ate a few apricots, which were sour and sweet, and were very delicious. "It's quite delicious."

She asked Aunt Fang and Xiaoyuan to taste it quickly.

After getting along with her these days, Aunt Fang also knew that the master was a gentle person, so she did not refuse and took it with a smile.

Bai Rongxuan took the opportunity to tell her about Min Tingke asking her to ask Manager Hu.

Aunt Fang said, "I really let Master Liu tell you that Manager Hu doesn't like anything else, so he likes to drink a few glasses for a long time. Now he is old and he has to drink dinner every day. But his mouth is a bit clever, and he doesn't care about ordinary wine at all. I really don't know where to go to make wine to satisfy him."

Bai Rongxuan suddenly became embarrassed.

Several people were discussing, and Wu Jie quickly walked in and said, "Young Master Zhi, the doorman said someone wanted to see you."

"See me?" Bai Rongxuan was very surprised.

It's time, who will come to visit her?

Bai Rongxuan asked, "Who is it?"

Wu Jie said, "The concierge said that the other party claimed to be from Hangzhou."

Hangzhou...

Bai Rongxuan's eyes lit up, "Is it because someone from my uncle's house?"

But when I thought about it, I realized that something was wrong. If it was really a member of the Tang family, I would definitely make it clear when I reported to my home.
