Chapter 963: Huo Family Accident
As soon as Fu Jingen came back, Qingshu returned to normal, eating well every day and sleeping soundly. Lin Fei was suspicious, but she didn't ask much.
Two days later, An An came to her and said, "Sister, grandma, please come and have a meal with your brother-in-law."
Qingshu smiled and said, "I will rest in two days, and I will go back with Jingen at that time."
As for now, she doesn't want to see Gu Xian at all.
An An said, "Sister, Uncle Shen is leaving tomorrow. Grandma wants you to go back for a reunion dinner."
"Didn't it mean that you will go back after the Dragon Boat Festival, why are you leaving now?" Qingshu asked: "Is something wrong in Pingzhou?"
An An shook his head and said, "It's not that something happened in Pingzhou, but that something happened in Fuzhou. It was said that the merchant ship brought by Huo Datong was pirates and all the goods were robbed. It's not that the whole ship was not alive. Huo Datong and Uncle Shen are brothers who are vowed to the enemy. Uncle Shen was so anxious when he knew that something happened to him. So, he was going to Tianjin to take a boat to Fuzhou tomorrow."
Qingshu had known that the coastal areas were now in chaos, and those pirates would dare to go ashore to burn, kill and loot, and it would be even more impossible for them to let go of those merchant ships.
"Your brother-in-law hasn't come back yet, I'll go with you first!"
Since Fu Jingen went out to work for the business, he spent most of his time in the East Palace, and occasionally went to the Hanlin Academy to get a job. So he became busier and busier and often came back very late.
When Shen Shaozhou saw Qingshu alone coming, he hurriedly asked, "Qingshu, where is Jingen?"
Seeing that he looked very bad, Qingshu knew that he was worried about the Huo family: "He hasn't come back yet. Uncle Shen, are you leaving tomorrow?"
Shen Shaozhou nodded and said, "Yes, I will go to Tianjin tomorrow and take a boat to Fuzhou directly. Qingshu, Jingen and others should come here later, right?"
"This is not accurate. He has been very busy recently. Sometimes he doesn't come back to stay in the East Palace just by staying there."
When Mrs. Gu heard this, she felt a little unfair: "Jingen is just the head of the Zhan Shi Mansion. Why are she so busy that she can't even see the figure?"
When An An heard this, he said, "Grandma, my brother-in-law is very busy. His busyness means that His Royal Highness values him, and this is something that no one can ask for."
Qingshu felt that An An was becoming more and more considerate now. With her interruption like this, there was no need to make excuses.
Mrs. Gu felt that this was reasonable: "It's the reason, but you still need to pay attention to your body not being too tired."
It has been almost half a year since Qingshu's stomach has not moved yet, and this has almost become a heart disease. But she dare not urge her now, for fear that as An An said, Qingshu would be too anxious and would not get pregnant. That would be counterproductive.
After dinner, Shen Shaozhou took the initiative to look for Qingshu and talk about the Huo family: "My elder brother was killed by pirates, his goods were robbed, and more than 30 people on the boat were gone."
When he said this, his voice was very low and his eyes were a little red. It is said that a man would not cry easily, but he was not sad. The two met at a young age, but they were separated forever in a blink of an eye, and even the corpse could not be found.
"Sad."
She actually had no good feelings for the Huo family. When Mrs. Huo passed her two sons and pushed Xu Qingzhi to Shen Zhan, she probably noticed that something was wrong.
Shen Shaozhou specifically told Qingshu about this matter, and there was something to ask for: "Qingshu, Fuzhou is now a little chaotic. Jingen has a connection with the Zhuo family of the Censor Zhuo family, so I want to ask him to write a letter of recommendation. If anything happens in Fuzhou, there are ways to find it."
Qingshu nodded and said, "I'll ask someone to ask if he will come back today. If he doesn't come back, I'll give you a famous post. Uncle Shen, Fuzhou is a bit messy now and I can't take my mother to Fuzhou."
"I'm not ready to take her. I have already told Gai Chun to take her back to Pingzhou. If something happened to my elder brother, Pearl will definitely rush back to attend the funeral. Now the messy children over there cannot be brought with you, and your mother can take care of the children when she returns to Pingzhou."
Qingshu thought for a while and said, "Gai Chun is your capable arm, so it's safer to let him follow him to Fuzhou. As for my mother, let Grandpa Zhong and Jiang Fangfei take her back to Pingzhou!"
"It's OK."
After hesitating, Qingshu asked, "Is Huoji Trading Company a heavy loss this time?"
Chen Shaozhou didn't hide it from her and said, "After this incident, Huoji Commercial Bank can't be protected. In fact, it doesn't matter if the commercial bank can't be protected. What I am worried about now is the safety of the Huo family."
"What's the meaning?"
Chen Shaozhou smiled bitterly and said, "My two nephews spent money like flowing water, especially Huo Yinghang suffered a gambling debt and didn't know how much money he lost. The Huo family would definitely not be able to get the payment and pensions he owed this time."
Qingshu also heard about the Huo family, so he was not surprised: "What will Uncle Shen do to do? Do you want to help them?"
Chen Shaozhou said: "We must help, but our Shen family has also been defeated and cannot afford much money. We can only do our best to do our best."
Of course he has the money, but he can't take it all out. Firstly, everyone knows that the Shen family is defeated, and suddenly taking out such a large amount of money is not sure to attract covetousness again; secondly, the money is earned by him and licking blood at the tip of a knife, which is to be left for future generations.
"Since ancient times, there are more icing on the cake, and less carbon is sent in the snow. In this situation of the Huo family, it is rare for you to help."
The Huo family Dalang is a prodigal son, and his second son is not much better. He will go to and never return any money. Therefore, unless it is a strong relationship, ordinary people will not help.
Chen Shaozhou shook his head and said, "They don't need to be grateful, they just want peace of mind."
If the elder brother listened to his advice, he would not have ended up leaving a dead body without a single body after hearing his advice or letting the people below run the boat. Now, he would feel particularly uncomfortable when he thought of this. It would be fine if something happened when he was young, but after all, he had chosen this path and made the worst plan at that time. But at this age, his grandchildren should have washed their hands long ago. But because of his two sons' expenses, they were forced to make a living on the edge of the knife at such an old age.
Qingshu nodded and said, "Uncle Shen, the Shen family cannot live without you. So when you arrive in Fuzhou, don't force yourself to do your best. Otherwise, you will have a few more and two more shortcomings and the next one will lose.
Chen Shaozhou nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will do my best."
In fact, when Mrs. Huo concealed the kidnapping of Guan Ge'er by Mrs. Huo Ying-hang, he was heartbroken by the mother and son. This time, it was because of his years of friendship with Mr. Huo that he decided to leave.
Fu Jingen did not come that day, so Qingshu gave Fu Jingen's famous post to Chen Shaozhou. As long as he took this famous post to Zhuo's house, the other party would help him as long as it was not a particularly difficult thing.
After pinching the famous post, Chen Shaozhou said apologetically: "Qingshu, I've caused you trouble again."
Qingshu shook his head and said, "It's okay. Uncle Shen, if the general of Fuzhou is not spent, it will become more and more chaotic in the future."
