MTL - Enter the Room-Chapter 77

  Chapter 77

   Yuan Yunzhong is a person who hates others making noise in front of him.

  But at this moment, Shao Qing was talking a lot about Song Jiyun in front of him, but he didn't reprimand Shao Qing.

  Shao Qing felt that their master usually seemed indifferent to Miss Song, but he actually cared about her.

  He frowned, and said to Yuan Yunzhong worriedly: "Master, Wan Xiaoquan wants Miss Song to deliver the goods ten days in advance, do you think Miss Song will not be able to deliver the goods because of this?"

  Song Jiyun never fought an uncertain battle.

  Since she agreed, there must be a solution.

   But after this thought flashed in Yuan Yunzhong's mind, he suddenly remembered the scene in Zhaojiaji that day, when the bright moonlight shone on the window lattice of the shabby room, and her knuckles were faintly green like frost and snow.

  He hesitated for a moment.

  Shao Qing smiled straight at "Hey", walked over, and said eagerly: "Master, why don't we help Miss Song keep an eye on Wan Xiaoquan?"

  Yuan Yunzhong looked at him and sneered, and said, "Aren't you doing business?"

  Shao Qing grew up beside him, seeing him like this, he knew he wasn't really angry.

  He secretly laughed, and hurriedly said: "Then let's leave it alone."

  Yuan Yunzhong glanced at him faintly from the corner of his eye.

  Shao Qing was shocked, and immediately said seriously: "Then I will send someone to watch Wan Xiaoquan."

  Yuan Yunzhong felt a pain in his chest, and he didn't want to gossip with him, so he simply changed the subject and talked about the business: "I asked you to check that Zhaojiaji, did you find anything?"

  Zhaojiaji is the village where Yuan Yunzhong and Song Jiyun lost their way.

Shao Qing hurriedly said: "I found out. Zhaojiaji was named by those people themselves. It was originally called Hongjiashan. Most of the people who lived there escaped from Zaozhuang, Shandong in the early years. These people were originally Work as a kiln worker in various kiln factories, because there is no craftsmanship, the wages are not high.

   "Later, a man named Zhao Ji learned the skill of firing porcelain, so he gathered fellow villagers and opened a wild kiln there. The porcelain he fired was also specially sold to the Shandong area. The business was quite good."

  Yuan Yunzhong pondered: "That is to say, they are not only black households, but also occupying private property?"

Shao Qing was still very serious when he talked about the business, and said: "I sent someone to inquire, and the surrounding mountains and forests for tens of miles are all the ancestral property of the Hong family in Liang County. The Hong family has a big business, and only sent one member to help to take care of these forests. Zhao Ji recruited this clansman as a partner, so that the people of Zhaojiaji can live in peace on the top of the Hong family's hills for so many years."

  Yuan Yunzhong said: "What is the situation of the Hong family?"

Shao Qing said: "Mr. Hong has only one son under his knees. Unfortunately, this son died of illness at a young age, leaving behind two young masters. The elder master Hong Xi and the younger master Hong Zhao were sent to Suzhou Mansion to study at a young age. I won’t be able to come back once in three or five years. Could it be someone taking advantage of the loophole.”

  Yuan Yunzhong thought: "Is this Hong family the same as the Hong family who lives at the end of Miss Song's house?"

Shao Qing nodded and said, "Although the Hong family doesn't live in Liang County, half of the land in Liang County belongs to their family. Their family has the largest pawnshop, the largest grain and oil store, and the largest grocery store in Liang County... It seems Except for porcelain, their family has a little bit of everything in their business."

Yuan Yunzhong was a little surprised, and said: "It seems that Zhaojiaji, which burns wild kilns, is not simple! The most profitable business in Jingdezhen is porcelain. The Hong family does all kinds of business, but not porcelain. But the wild kiln is in their In the col under the family name. To say this is a coincidence, it would be too coincidental."

  He told Shao Qing: "Go and check the behavior of the clansman who showed the forest to the Hong family? How is his relationship with the Hong family?"

  Shao Qing has always admired Yuan Yunzhong, and regards his words as a standard.

He eagerly said: "I'll send someone to investigate right away. In three to five days at the most, the Hong family can be thoroughly investigated. I don't believe it. That wild kiln has nothing to do with their family? Maybe you and Song Miss was being chased by people, it was the Hong family who secretly did it!"

  *

  In the afternoon, when Yuan Yunzhong and Song Jiyun left the kiln together, he stood beside the mule cart, and couldn't help secretly looking at Miss Song again and again.

  Song Jiyun was talking to Luo Zixing, and the eyes that fell on her from time to time made her turn her head and look at Shao Qing puzzled.

  Shao Qing hurriedly showed her a harmless smile.

   Just as Song Jiyun had finished what he was supposed to say, he said goodbye to Luo Zixing and walked over.

  Shao Qing ran over attentively to help Song Jiyun get into the car.

   Zheng Quan stared at him.

  Shao Qing hurriedly changed the string midway, and said, "Miss Song, what are you holding in your hand? I'll hold it for you."

  Song Jiyun held a medium-sized object that looked like a wine jar.

   "No need!" Song Jiyun handed the things to Zheng Quan, and said with a smile, "I brought some glaze back from the kiln."

Shao Qing got down the steps, said "oh", watched Zheng Quan help Song Jiyun get into the mule cart, ran back to the mule cart where Yuan Yunzhong was sitting, and muttered: "What are you doing with so much glaze? "

  Yuan Yunzhong's hand holding up the car curtain paused.

  In another car, Zheng Quan also asked: "What are you doing with so much glaze?"

  Song Jiyun did not answer, but said: "Do you know which grocery store in Suzhou and Hangzhou has the most complete goods?"

"What do you want to buy?" Zheng Quan said, holding the rein firmly, "The grocery stores in Suzhou and Hangzhou are generally quite complete. But each has its own characteristics. For example, there are many from Fujian and Guangdong. Strange stuff. People from the north usually get good furs."

  Song Jiyun seldom went out for shopping after he was ten years old. He didn't expect Suzhou and Hangzhou to be so prosperous.

  It seems that if there is a chance, I still want to go to Suzhou and Hangzhou.

  She said: "I want to buy some Simon."

   is the compass.

   Don't talk about using this thing, but very few people know about it.

  Zheng Quan thought about it, and said: "I really need to ask someone."

   Then give her an idea: "The Hong family's grocery store often travels to Suzhou and Hangzhou. Instead of sending people to buy there, it is better to invite the big shopkeeper of the Hong family grocery store to come over and let them help bring some back."

  Song Jiyun was very happy to hear that, and said: "Invite him over when we get back."

   Zheng Quan agreed.

  Back home, only to see Sanfang saying goodbye to Mrs. Zeng at the door.

  Song Jiyun turned cold.

   Don't leave early, don't leave late, just when she comes back!

  She said to Zheng Quan: "No need to stop, just go directly."

  She didn't get the letter in advance, how did she know that their family left Liang County at this time.

  Zheng Quan raised his whip, and the mule cart drove past Song Sanliang's house.

  Mr. Li gritted her teeth with hatred, and asked Zeng again with tears in her eyes: "Mother-in-law, you really don't want to go back to the countryside with us?"

Before Mrs. Zeng said anything, Song Sanliang, who was lying in the mule cart, said, "What nonsense are you talking about? In the countryside, there is not even a decent doctor. When we go back and settle down, we can take my mother to live there for a while." .”

"I know you are filial!" Zeng watched Song Jiyun's mule cart pass by with cold eyes, and said bitterly, "I can't leave! Once I leave, if you go back to the city someday, won't you even have a place to stay. "

   Li hugged her mother-in-law and burst into tears.
