Chapter 172
Since he wanted to help, Xue Chen did not intend to delay in the mansion. After talking about this with the old lady Princess the next day, he applied to go from the capital to Daxing on the grounds that he went to pick up his uncle to the capital. Lou Qingyun arranged twenty plainclothes and Jinyiwei to accompany him, as well as more than a dozen guards around Xue Chen, including Yan Luodong, and then took Yao Da and others, Lu Xing and Lu Wan to Daxing.
The convoy did not delay on the road. After spending two days, he finally arrived in Daxing on the evening of the third day. Because it was getting late, he went to the largest Chunran Inn in the city, which was naturally also a property under Xue Chen. Zhang Quan, the shopkeeper of the Thirteen Daxing Trading Company, heard that Xue Chen had arrived at the inn and rushed over to pay a visit.
Xue Chen asked him to see him in the guest room of Chunran Inn. If you know about Daxing, you really have to ask Zhang Quan. In addition to the Lu family, Daxing is the most known shopkeeper Zhang from this thirteen business. Xue Chen didn't want to reveal his identity and was very low-key everywhere. Even Zhang Quan came here disguised himself, just to be afraid that others would recognize him and cause unnecessary trouble.
Although Zhang Quan is familiar with Daxing, what Xue Chen said was the Lu family's family background after all, and his business and the Lu family also had some interactions on weekdays. However, it was not common to meet Lu Zhouping. No matter what business he did, there were special people to contact him. Therefore, he was not very clear about whether the Lu family changed its owner.
With Zhang Quan's words, Xue Chen felt a little relieved. At least Sun did not dare to blatantly overturn the Lu family's signature, and could only secretly cover Chen Cang and other things behind his back.
"However, the Lu family seems to have shown signs of turning their business to the officials and businessmen recently. However, Lu Zhouping married the magistrate's sister, so there is a reason to rely on the government."
Zhang Quanru said. He glanced at Xue Chen who was thinking, and then asked again: "Madam, I don't know what plans are tomorrow, so I can make arrangements early."
Xue Chen shook his head and said, "You don't need to make arrangements. I will naturally call you if I have something to do."
Zhang Quan glanced at Yao Da and looked a little disappointed. Seeing him like this, Xue Chen added again: "I have been in Daxing for the past two days, so it is not convenient to take you."
After Zhang Quan returned, Xue Chen was about to rest. There were no other guests in Chunran Inn. Naturally, he said that he had been taken down by someone. Yan Luodong and other guards were all sleeping downstairs.
Xue Chen asked Xia Zhu to call Lu Xing and Lu Wan over, and there was no other polite words to greet them. Xue Chen said to them directly: "I will have someone send you back to Lu's house later. I will come to my door tomorrow morning and I will visit my uncle and you. Do you dare to go back?"
Lu Xing and Lu Wan looked at each other, and Lu Xing said, "Dare! Since my cousin has come to Daxing with us, what else can we be afraid of?"
Xue Chen smiled and said, "Well, but things can't be too simple or optimistic. After all, Sun is the reunion of his uncle's official marriage. Even if she is involved in the Lu family's business, it is reasonable. Therefore, everything will be decided after I meet my uncle and grandmother tomorrow."
The two siblings nodded repeatedly, as if they were all following Xue Chen's instructions.
After the two went out, Xue Chen left Gu Chao and said a few words, asking him to send someone to watch the Lu family tonight to prevent the two brothers and sisters from suddenly returning home and suffering from Sun's poisonous actions. After Gu Chao took the order, Xue Chen also slept under the servitude of Qin Feng and Xia Zhu.
When he woke up the next morning, he sat in front of the dressing table. Qin Feng was about to comb her hair when Xue Chen suddenly said:
"No need to comb the woman's hair, just comb the Yuanbao bun."
Qin Feng looked at Xia Zhu in confusion, and Xia Zhu said she didn't understand, but since the wife had given her instructions, they didn't have any reason to obey. After a while, Yuanbao bun was combed and looked in the mirror. Those who didn't know thought Xue Chen was still the girl who was waiting to be a girl, pretty and charming, with a pure and beautiful appearance.
After getting on the carriage, Yan Luodong picked up four or five guards to accompany him. This time, Lou Qingyun sent the Jinyiwei Baijia Liaozan. He and Yan Luodong had known each other before. This time, Lou Qingyun arranged to escort his wife. He was originally quite resistant and felt that using his identity to protect a woman in the deep house was really useless. However, when he came over and saw his former elder brother Yan Luodong, the trace of reluctance disappeared in his heart. The elder brother was protecting the wife. What else could he say? Just follow the command.
The Lu family is located on the east side of Daxing City. It is an excellent Feng Shui place and covers a vast area. However, from the door, it does not mean anything like a literati and elegant. Not to mention the magnificence, but the glittering golden light is real. The Lu family seems to like gold especially, and even the copper rings on the gate are painted with gold paint, and the same is true on the two eyes of the stone lion. For a moment, Xue Chen seemed to understand a little, what does it mean to be a community when the Xue family is unwilling to have more social interactions with the Lu family?
Gu Chao went up to knock on the door. After a while, a doorman opened the door a crack and asked the outside world. After Gu Chao talked about Xue Chen's identity, the person opened the door a little more and allowed himself to join in. He looked at Pingting standing in front of the sedan chair and looked extraordinary Xue Chen, and asked:
"What kind of cousin lady? There is no cousin lady in our house. If you say there is one, there is one in the capital... Could it be...you came from the capital?"
After asking this, the concierge was a little confused because seeing Xue Chen and others' dress and behavior, they did not look like Daxing people born and raised, and they were very noble.
I didn't dare to delay, but I couldn't just let them in. After some communication, the door opened and a woman with golden light came out from inside. The reason why she was golden light was that she was golden from head to toe was because she wore a complete set of golden heads and faces, a necklace with gold inlaid jade hanging around her neck, four or five bracelets on her wrist were also gold inlaid jade, and the clothes she wore were also yellow... This is Sun's. It seems that she really likes gold.
Xue Chen was almost stunned by her wealthy and powerful outfit. She didn't react until Sun stood condescendingly on the stone steps and talked to her.
After Sun looked Xue Chen up and down, he raised his lips proudly and said, "Did you come from Beijing?"
Qin Feng and Xia Zhu both thought Sun was too rude, but they were all regular maids. Without the instructions from their wives, they could not speak out even if they were angry. Xue Chen really didn't plan to make such a fuss with Sun. He smiled and said:
"Yes, I came from Beijing. My name is Xue Chen. I came to pay my respects to my uncle and asked my wife to pass by."
When Sun heard Xue Chen bluntly say that her surname was Xue, he knew that her identity was not wrong. The Lu family’s aunt married to the capital and became the wife of the Jingguaner. She seemed to be a fifth-rank secretary and her rank was just as high as her brother. However, the difference was that the Xue family was a Beijing official and her brother was a local official. Even if the rank was the same, the treatment was different. But even if it was said that, if the fourth-rank official was actually not as powerful as a prefect. Looking at the girl’s words and manners, she knew that her father was just a lie. If it was really amazing, would he be so low?
"Oh, it's really Miss Cousin. What kind of wind is blowing? It actually blows Miss Cousin to our Daxing?" Although Sun said that, she had some knowledge of the grievances between the Xue family and the Lu family. Judging from the day she didn't know what Xue Chen was in Beijing, the Lu family had never inquired about her in the capital over the years.
For a moment, Xue Chen really didn't know whether she was right or wrong. After all, the Lu family didn't seem to care about her very much. However, Xue Chen remembered the Lu family's kindness in his heart, and felt that if Lu family was alive, she would rush back to help her no matter how far away she was in the Lu family.
Anyway, she just did what she thought she should do. If her uncle and grandmother were not grateful at that time, it wouldn't matter. Anyway, she just simply came forward to help them, not to force them to recognize their relatives. If the matter was solved, she would still have to go back to the capital.
Sun looked at Xue Chen's simple appearance and was very disgusted. He had long heard that his aunt married a poor Hanlin scholar family. He had no money in his life and could not get any extra money. Although this cousin lady looked like a human being, I wonder if she came to the door to borrow money from Qiufeng. However, although Sun thought so in his heart, he didn't dare to say it on the surface. After all, the Xue family is an official family. If she can't offend her, she should not offend her. She still politely welcomed the person into the door.
