The general's wife through time

Chapter 17 Meeting Si Wei

The last time Si Wei saw Mu Xian was three years ago. At that time, Mu Xian was a high-spirited young man with a spirit that refused to accept anyone, much like Qin Huangyuan on the battlefield.

But this time, Mu Xian and Qin Lu were standing outside the door of the private room, whispering, wiping the sweat from his forehead, looking very frightened.

Si Wei frowned. Mu Xian was so anxious. It seemed that Qin Shuanyuan's disappearance had a great impact on the Qin family's business.

At the same time, he also began to wonder whether the people in the Qin family began to slack off because Qin Huangyuan was not at home all year round.

How did he know that Mu Xian had just confirmed with Qin Lu that Xue Tang had punched Duan Jingchen and had just recovered from the shock of his random thoughts.

Mu Xian now particularly blames Butler Qin. It was Butler Qin who was afraid that his identity would be exposed so he wouldn't let him go to Qin's house now. He also said that he had to hide this last straw to save his life.

But, is hiding useful?

After the general disappeared, the two royal merchants had already been ready to make a move, and even some wealthy families began to focus on the Qin family's business and began to encroach on it. When the time came that they really couldn't survive, he had to stand up, walk to the stage, and replace the business. The general resists all business troubles.

The door of the private room was open. When he walked to the door, Si Wei just glanced at them briefly, then turned to look at Mu Xian and Qin Lu.

Mu Xian knew that this person probably didn't recognize Xue Tang.

He bowed and saluted, and then whispered: "The person inside is Mrs. Qin."

Si Wei's expression froze slightly.

This……

Changed?
However, Qin Huangyuan did not say that he would divorce his wife and marry another one!
Si Fangyun only said that Xue Tang's temperament had changed, but did not say that Qin Shuanyuan had married an equal wife again!

Xue Tang heard the footsteps outside the door, slowly raised his head, and looked at the person coming at the door.

He is a man of his age, wearing a black long-sleeved gown, with a jade crown binding his hair. He is upright, elegant and handsome.

The young Zaifu is a talented person, and his temperament is naturally outstanding.

Moreover, this man and Qin Mingyuan were both literary and military, and were known as the twin jewels of the Dajing court.

"I've met the Chief Assistant." Xue Tang stood up and bowed slightly.

Si Wei is two years older than Qin Huangyuan, and the two of them treat each other as brothers in private. According to Dajing's etiquette, she should also call Si Wei "big brother", so no matter how Si Wei thinks of her, she will be polite and will not let others manipulate her. shortcomings.

After all, Si Wei had seen the world, so he was surprised for a moment, and then returned to normal.

"Where's my niece? Didn't you say that the new dishes here taste good? You asked me to try them." Si Wei asked.

Xue Tang: "She has gone back. I asked her to bring some small gifts to the old lady of the Si family. Didn't she go to the Si family?"

Si Wei did not answer Xue Tang's words, but said: "We just happened to meet each other, so I asked my siblings a few questions about my virtuous brother."

While talking, Si Wei had already walked into the private room.

Qin Lu couldn't understand much, but he could tell that Madam's opening did not have the upper hand this time.

Mu Xian saw it clearly. Si Wei had already met Si Fangyun who had messed up the matter, and Xue Tang had also given gifts in advance to pave the way, so the start of the two of them went strangely smoothly.

Little did they know that Si Fangyun was sitting on the Si family's carriage, patting his heart and breathing heavily.

When she returned home, she found that her uncle was not there. Her entourage said that Si Wei would patrol the Sixth Department after the morning meeting, and then go directly to East Street. So she hurried to the Sixth Department to stop him, but failed to stop him. Finally, she ran to the gate of the Taotie Building. blocked people.

The female guard held her sword and stood beside the car. There were only three words in her mind for her master: It's your own fault!

As for Xue Renyi and his wife, the moment they saw Si Wei, they quickly tucked their tails between their legs and ran away in despair. They can't show any signs of weakness in front of this person, they can't afford to offend him.

Si Wei, Xue Tang, Mu Xian, and Qin Lu quickly sat down around a small table.

Qiudie followed Xue Tang's instructions, served fruit tea, and then retreated outside, guarding the door quietly.

The room quickly became quiet.

Si Wei looked at Xue Tang and saw that her temperament was completely different and her expression was indifferent, so he believed what Si Fangyun said to praise Xue Tang, and he also believed that Si Fangyun had not been deceived or tricked.

He didn't waste much time and went straight to the topic, "The Si family's secret guards came back from the northern border with news that the epidemic in the northern border has been controlled. They didn't find Qin Xiao, but they found some clues. He should have sneaked into the Tatars secretly. .”

"Thank you, Secretary Chief Assistant." Mu Xian thanked him lightly, without any obvious change in his expression.

"He is my brother, and this is how it should be." His eyes passed over Xue Tang coldly.

Xue Tang: "???"

What does it have to do with her?
Qin Lu said calmly: "The secret guards of the Qin family have also rushed to the north. With the general's ability, they will be safe and sound."

Xue Tang secretly thought: Sure enough, the Qin family's left and right guardians have secretly arranged it. It seems that the Qin family's strength is stronger than she thought before. So after listening to Mu Xian's advice, it was right to be a quiet listener.

Mu Xian: "But we must stabilize the situation in Beijing."

"Did someone take action on the Qin family's business?" Si Wei asked.

Immediately, Si Wei curled his lips slightly and said, "The Qin family's business is intricate and has been accumulated for nearly a hundred years. It is not easy to be shaken. You should be very aware of these things, so don't worry too much."

"It has been accumulated for nearly a hundred years, so there is no need to worry, but it is not necessarily what the general has worked hard for." As he said this, Mu Xian pointed to the top of his head.

"Who wants to seize the opportunity to seize Weiyuan?" Si Wei's eyes turned cold, "He can't tolerate Qin Xiao so much?"

Mu Xian nodded.

"It's a half-finished business. It's really not easy for you to handle it without Qin Xiao." Si Wei paused and then said, "In this case, it's better to go with the flow and recruit whoever joins the team to spread the risk."

Weiyuan?

Why does it sound like the name of an escort agency?
But the Qin family doesn't seem to have a bodyguard agency, so that's the name of some big business.

Xue Tang thought silently.

mu Big money in hand.”

Mu Xian pointed to the top of his head again.

Xue Tang is tired for him, isn't it the emperor? There's nothing I can't say, there are no outsiders here.

Of course she doesn't know Mu Xian's difficulties. Now Mu Xian wants to curse her when he mentions those two words, and he will actually curse them when he opens his mouth. Those two words can be said secretly, but when he curses, that's something else. It's risky, so I don't dare to mention it.

Si Wei narrowed his eyes and named two families, "Duan family, Mo family?"

Their expressions were as usual, and they did not shy away from Xue Tang. They probably thought that she was listening in vain and did not understand at all. Mu Xian said helplessly: "Weiyuan involves overseas after all."

Si Wei nodded, "The Duan family and the Mo family have always been under that person's will and want to disintegrate the Qin family's business, so this is their opportunity."

Mu Xian secretly glanced at Xue Tang. I thought: Now it is not only the property of the Qin family, the Duan family may also want to pry into the general's corner.

At this glance, he just saw Xue Tang with his head lowered and a look of serious thought on his face, which made him look even more charming.

He clutched his heart.

General, come back quickly, your woman is about to be abducted.

Si Wei asked: "So, Mu Xian, what do you mean?"

"Master Si, please help us drag him back. It's best to drag him back until the general comes back."

Si Wei also glanced at Xue Tang, "I'll try my best."

Xue Tang has already separated the key words from this conversation: Weiyuan, overseas, emperor, and emperor merchant.

Weiyuan was founded by Qin Shuanyuan and is still in the early stages of entrepreneurship.

Not even halfway through the general's career, the middle path disappeared.

She speculated that the reason why it was difficult for the emperor to intervene when it came to overseas matters was that Qin Shuanyuan had contacts with foreign officials, which involved sensitive issues of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.

From what she knew, the Qin family had been loyal for generations and had no intention of rebelling. Qin Shuanyuan might just want to imitate Zheng He and open some kind of maritime trade.

However, Qin Huangyuan was the border guard general of Dajing. He had real military power and great achievements. The emperor might want to take advantage of the prestige to get rid of the Qin family.

It turns out that the Duan family and the Qin family of Huangshang were so opposed to each other, so the attack on the Duan brothers was too light.

As for the people from the Mo family, I haven’t seen them yet, but I will definitely see them in the future.

At this time, it is a good choice to let Si Wei mediate, because the Si family is the most trusted person in the royal family, and Si Wei will not do anything to stab Qin Huangyuan secretly.

So Mu Xian really thought clearly.

As for the business of dealing with the government, it seemed that she could give it a try. Although she had never done business in her previous life, she often dealt with officials. All interstellar commanders have done it. A business shouldn’t be difficult, right?
"Brothers and sisters, do you have anything you want to ask?"

Faced with Si Wei's sudden roll call, Xue Tang stopped his thoughts, raised his eyes, and shook his head.

"You don't have anything to ask about Qin Xiao?"

Xue Tang shook his head.

Seeing the disappointment in Si Wei's heart, Xue Tang thought: The original owner Lu turned a fan and repaid her kindness by marrying Qin Shuanyuan. Now it seems that her fan has turned black. Maybe everyone will shake their heads when they see it, but you make her become She can't do the love brain like the original owner! In her previous life, when she was a child and played house, she always acted as the father.

Seeing the helplessness in Xue Tang's eyes, Si Wei felt even more sad. I don’t know whether my virtuous brother is alive or dead, but my wife doesn’t care at all...

Qin Lu couldn't stand it any longer, so he stood up and said, "Madam, I'll take you back home."

Go back quickly, don't wait to arouse Si Wei again.

Xue Tang stood up, but only took two steps. She suddenly stopped, turned around, took the pen and paper, and scribbled a small note. She handed the note to Mu Xian.

Mu Xian was stunned, and then remembered that he had told Xue Tang to "stop talking."

However, he couldn’t say anything without saying anything!

Here, a small note is also inserted.

It seems like there is some shady relationship between them!

Mu Xian was feeling bad again.

He blushed and spread out the note.

"The thirty thousand taels of goods in my car are settled."

The handwriting is eloquent and grand.

Mu Xian: "..."

Si Wei couldn't help but his eyes deepened. He asked about Xue Tang's whereabouts before he came, and knew that the shops where Xue Tang went to buy goods were actually the private property of Qin Shuanyuan, but few people knew about it, and he thought Xue Tang didn't know either.

It turned out that Xue Tang played the game with his left hand and his right hand to a very high standard.

All that is left now is the pair of 100-tael hairpins given to his old mother.

He retracted the idea that "Xue Tang doesn't understand business".

This sibling, it seems, not only has her temperament changed...

Mu Xian glared at Qin Lu fiercely.

Yongyan Daozi asked: Did you mention the general's private property?

Qin Lu shook his head fiercely.

He did not.

He guessed that the wife saw the account book when she went to steal the mirror in the general's study that day.

Qin Lu's guess was correct. The original owner did read the account book that day. He originally thought of telling his parents when he went back, but he didn't expect that he drank too much the next day and brought Xue Tang here!

When he reached the door, Xue Tang turned back and said calmly: "I believe Qin Shuanyuan can come back alive."

The soldiers who go to war will all come back safely. This is the wish engraved in their bones in their previous lives.

This was the third sentence Si Wei heard Xue Tang say today.

Although it is nonsense, it is more meaningful than ordinary women crying.

Si Wei stared at her, wanting to hear what she would say.

As a result, he left without any regrets!
