Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

Chapter 166: The eldest lady is under house arrest?

Plague is a severe infectious disease mainly transmitted by Yersinia pestis through rat fleas. It is a natural epidemic disease widely prevalent among wild rodents. Clinical manifestations include fever, severe toxemia symptoms, lymphadenopathy, pneumonia, bleeding tendency, etc. Plague has caused many pandemics in world history, with tens of millions of people dying and a very high fatality rate.

However, the plague is an infectious disease that is mainly transmitted due to unhygienic food. Ye Qingmo, as the eldest daughter of Taixiang, would also contract this disease, which made He Yuzhu very strange.

Chen Xueru was very sad and said, "Don't scare me. With the blessing of Bodhisattva, Sister Qingmo will definitely be able to survive."

The two said a few words, and then the man came out and invited the two of them in.

He Yuzhu followed him into the office and finally met the eldest young master Ye Qingxian. After being polite, Chen Xueru first asked about Qing Mo's condition.

I learned from the eldest young master that Ye Qingmo's symptoms were relatively mild and there was no danger to his life. However, it was an infectious disease and Chen Xueru could not be allowed to visit.

Chen Xueru felt very sorry and said, "Then when Sister Qingmo is well, I will come to visit again."

"You're welcome. I'm very happy that my sister has such a good friend."

"You're welcome."

After chatting about Qingmo, Chen Xueru took out the list. This time there was a lot of goods coming in, and most of them had to be sent to Maozi Country in the north. She seriously warned that there must be no problems with the goods.

"Don't worry, you are also a regular customer for many years. There will definitely be no problems with the goods this time. It's just that the quantity you want is relatively large. It will take three days to prepare the goods for you. I can only bother you and wait for three days. "

"sure no problem."

The two discussed it, confirmed the order, placed a deposit, and paid the balance after the goods were on the train.

He Yuzhu was not familiar with the cloth and silk business. He almost didn't speak during the whole process, just observing the so-called eldest young master.

I always felt that this young master didn't seem to know how to do business. He made mistakes several times when talking about business, and it took Chen Xueru's reminder to correct him.

I feel like a layman who still doesn’t understand some details. Some of them need to go out and ask people before coming back to confirm.

After the business was settled, He Yuzhu walked out of the Taixiang shop and asked, "Didn't this young master take charge of business before?"

"Did you see it too?" Chen Xueru asked.

"What's so difficult about this? I've seen a lot of people doing business, but I've never seen anyone doing business like this."

Chen Xueru did not answer, but turned around and walked towards a teahouse, asked for a pot of Biluochun, and then said to He Yuzhu:

"I didn't tell you about this young master before, mainly because he is not in charge of business."

He Yuzhu didn't speak, just sipped the fragrant tea and listened carefully.

It turns out that this young master Ye Qingxian is a playboy, he knows nothing about business, and he lives a sensual life every day.

Her sister Ye Qingmo is a business genius. She studied in a shop since she was a child and became the shopkeeper when she became an adult.

Later, not long after the marriage, her husband died, and Ye Qingmo focused on business. Chen Xueru only knew her brother Ye Qingxian and had never interacted with him before.

"If this is the case, it makes sense. Qing Mo was infected with the plague, and Ye Qingxian had to step forward to take charge of the business. It is normal to be unfamiliar with him."

This time, He Yuzhu no longer had any doubts. Before, he was just being careful and making no big mistakes, feeling like everyone was in danger.

But this is just a normal purchase, it's just that there are a lot of needed goods, so what's the surprise?

"That's what you said. There are still three days left. Let's have a good time in Gusu City and wait for the Taixiang to prepare the cargo."

Then he said with some worry: "It's a pity that I can't see Sister Qingmo this time."

He Yuzhu comforted him: "Didn't the eldest son of the Ye family say that it's not life-threatening? Just rest for a while and wait until the condition gets better, then I'll come with you again, okay?"

"Well, let's make an agreement, you must come with me when the time comes."

He Yuzhu nodded and agreed.

In the following time, He Yuzhu was the most relaxed. It was like a honeymoon. He and Chen Xueru visited the scenic spots in the ancient city of Suzhou, although they were not as brightly lit and beautiful as in later generations.

However, the current attractions are all authentic and have more local characteristics. However, they mainly focus on sweets, which is very unaccustomed to eating. Moreover, outsiders cannot understand what ordinary people speak, making communication very difficult.

Only two days had passed when Ye Qingxian suddenly sent someone to invite Chen Xueru to dinner, saying that he had something to discuss, and stated that he was only inviting Chen Xueru to him, which surprised He Yuzhu.

Chen Xueru said: "Our two families are family friends. Maybe we want to connect with each other. Besides, you still want to treat me to dinner at Songhe Tower. What are you worried about?"

After saying this, He Yuzhu relaxed and just warned: "Yes, then you should be careful."

After that, Chen Xueru went to change clothes, and He Yuzhu suddenly had a bad feeling. This time going south to purchase goods was always not going well. He didn't even see the real owner, but a dandy came to host it.

He stood up and said to her, "I'm going out for a walk."

"Well, come back soon."

Chen Xueru cherishes every minute she spends with He Yuzhu. She is very charming. After He Yuzhu developed this, she became more proactive and wanted to spend all her time making love. After all, if they return to the capital, the two of them will The time spent together is pitiful.

"I'm just going for a walk."

He Yuzhu has always been very strange in his heart. There is something that has been bothering him. It is just right for him to ask about it and solve his doubts.

Chen Xueru thought that she had been working very hard in the past two days, which was a bit overwhelming for He Yuzhu and needed to go out to relax. She felt a little happy, so she stood up and gave him a kiss, and after giving He Yuzhu careful instructions, she sent He Yuzhu out.

If you want to inquire about the news, of course you have to go to the teahouse, order a pot of Biluochun and a few side dishes, then look around the crowd, find an occupied seat and walk up to him:
"Sorry to excuse you, can we share a seat?"

"Hey, we are a distinguished guest from the capital. Please take a seat." The old man said with a smile.

"Thank you." He Yuzhu apologized politely, then sat down and started chatting casually.

After a while, he asked: "I heard that there was a plague in Gusu City recently. I wonder if it is serious?"

"Plague? Who did you hear about it? Where is it?" The old man was very confused, and then said: "How come I haven't heard of it? Don't spread it!"

"There's none?"

"Of course not. I haven't heard that anyone has the plague. You are deceiving the public with your lies." The old man became more and more angry as he spoke, and his last words were very harsh.

Now He Yuzhu finally knew what was wrong. Plague was not an ordinary infectious disease. It was extremely contagious. As long as there was an epidemic, it would infect large areas, making people fearful and frightened.

But only Qingmo in the Ye family had the plague, and no one in Gusu knew about the spread of the plague. At this time, He Yuzhu became even more suspicious.

Didn't Ye Qingmo get the plague?
He Yuzhu apologized quickly, saying that he was a footman, and then talked about the Taixiang ship and asked about the quality of their silk.

"So you're here to purchase goods?"

"Yes, I have a silk shop in the capital and would like to purchase a batch of silk."

"Then if you can find Taixiang, it means you've come to the right place. Their silk is of the highest quality."

He Yuzhu asked: "How is the current owner of Taixiang, Ye Qingxian, like him?"

"Him?" The old man's face was full of disdain, he opened his mouth and said, "That's a playboy who only wants to sell his family property and go to Xiangjiang."

After hearing this, He Yuzhu was stunned. Ye Qingxian actually wanted to go to Xiangjiang to relax. This was information that he had never mastered.

"Old man, what do you mean by this? Please tell me in detail."

"Well, it's a long story. It turns out that the eldest lady Ye Qingmo is in charge of the business."

It was rare for the old man to be asked about it, so he talked about Ye Qingxian's past with some pride, and then talked about recent events.

Rumors of public-private partnership have been circulating for a long time. Although it has not yet been implemented here, leaders have already said hello and the pilot will start this year at the latest.

What a coincidence, as a time-honored brand in the silk industry, Taixiang Hao is also a pilot.

Regarding the public-private partnership, Ye Qingmo decided to respond to the call of his superiors after careful consideration, but the eldest young master Ye Qingxian had his own ideas.

He wants to sell his family property and go to Xiangjiang with a large sum of money. The life of feasting and entertainment there is more suitable for him, and there are relatives there who can take care of him.

Rumors of the two people's disagreements spread, causing everyone to talk a lot. It is said that Ye Qingxian is currently selling off his property and preparing to leave.

He Yuzhu was dumbfounded. How could there be something so outrageous behind this? If so, it seemed that Ye Qingmo's case of plague was not such a simple infection.

He Yuzhu asked: "But I heard that the real eldest lady Ye Qingmo has contracted the plague and is recuperating in the old house."

"Well, it's hard to say." The old man then said meaningfully: "Anyway, no one in our Gusu City has the plague."

He made it so obvious. Of course He Yuzhu knew it. It seemed that the Ye family was not at peace either. Ye Qingmo and Ye Qingxian had different opinions on future development, and then they fell out.

It was obvious that Ye Qingxian was the one who had the last laugh. Ye Qingmo might have a way of doing business, but unfortunately it failed in the end, and then he was infected with an infectious disease and sent to the countryside.

He Yuzhu figured things out and couldn't help complaining. He only went south to spend his honeymoon with Chen Xueru and buy a batch of goods. He didn't expect to encounter such a bloody thing.

I have never met Ye Qingmo, so there is no need to get involved in this matter. It has been several years since liberation, and the competition in the family should not be as fierce as in the past.

After Ye Qingmo's failure, he was sent to the countryside to recuperate. In He Yuzhu's opinion, this was definitely not a life-threatening situation. At most, the family property was sold off by the young master, leaving him impoverished. He should still be able to be released afterwards.

Although having money at this time is not a good thing, after six or six years, it is easy to be listed, and it is better to have no money.

But Ye Qingmo and Chen Xueru were family friends and good best friends, and He Yuzhu couldn't decide whether to tell her what happened to Ye Qingmo.

After all, this is Gusu City, not the capital city that I am familiar with. In the capital city, I can call the shots. Even if something unexpected happens, I still have the ability and connections to help.

But here.
He Yuzhu understood that even if he was already a master of energy transformation, he could not guarantee that he would escape unscathed when faced with firearms.

To be honest, He Yuzhu didn't want to stir up trouble and cause trouble, but Ye Qingmo was Chen Xueru's best friend, so this matter had to be considered in the long run.

Thinking of Chen Xueru, He Yuzhu suddenly thought that Ye Qingxian invited Chen Xueru to have dinner alone today. He didn't think much about it at the time. He just thought that the two of them were family friends and there was nothing wrong with having a meal together.

But after hearing the recent information about the Ye family, He Yuzhu couldn't help but think too much.

I originally thought that tonight, Ye Qingxian was just looking for Chen Xueru to renew the friendship between the two families, maintain the relationship between the two families, and continue the future business.

But Ye Qingxian was selling off his assets and wanted to run away to Xiangjiang. In addition, he was a playboy before and had countless affairs outside.

He Yuzhu was suddenly afraid that Ye Qingxian would do something to Chen Xueru. If something really happened and Chen Xueru was hurt, wouldn't it be too late to regret it!

When He Yuzhu thought of this, he wanted to rush to Songhe Tower immediately. He quickly said goodbye to the old man and hurriedly left the teahouse.

It was getting dark at this time, and the roads were bustling with people walking. Not to mention, the little girls from Gusu City were beautiful and had a unique charm.

He Yuzhu was not in the mood to appreciate it, so he ran straight away and arrived outside Songhe Tower very quickly. Then he pretended to be relaxed and came in. After entering the restaurant, he asked for a box and was led back by the waiter.

He Yuzhu launched a mental exploration, but did not find Chen Xueru and Ye Qingxian within the sensing range. He shook his head at the waiter and asked him to change to a box.

The waiter was surprised, but there were many customers with strange requests. This may be due to the poor location, so he led He Yuzhu to the next box.

He Yuzhu was still not satisfied with the second box. He shook his head and refused, so the waiter had to take him to the third box.

Fortunately, the third box was right next to Ye Qingxian's box. He Yuzhu was no longer picky and chose the box. He asked for a pot of tea first and waited for the invited guests to arrive before ordering.

Chen Xueru felt a little regretful after arriving at Songhe Tower. When Ye Qingxian was receiving guests in the Taixiang No., his behavior was still gentle and elegant, but after he was invited to dinner and the servants left, his words became frivolous.

He said with a cold face: "Ye Qingxian, if you continue to be so rude, don't blame me for falling out."

Although Chen Xueru seems to have extraordinary charm in his behavior and has unlimited attraction to men, he is born this way and is not a loose nature. In addition, since he got along with He Yuzhu, he has fallen deeply into it and cannot extricate himself. He knows that He Yuzhu is his lifelong support. .

This Ye Qingxian is just a playboy. He wants to seduce him as soon as they meet and sit down to eat. He is really the wrong person.

Ye Qingxian smiled and said: "Our two families are well-connected, but the world is not peaceful right now. The government is about to take away all our property. How can this be done?"

He also said with some pride: "I have relatives over there in Xiangjiang. Let's sell our family property and go do business there. When the time comes, we..."

As he spoke, Ye Qingxian stretched out An Lushan's claws and wanted to touch Chen Xueru's pretty face.
