I played as an assistant in ancient times

Chapter 180 1 Stars

"Is that Taoist Master Hengxi? He must be preparing to travel now." Shen Xiaoye couldn't make a trip to Wuzhong County. It wouldn't be appropriate.

The little black cat shook his head: "It was Taoist Qingxi. He appeared in the city last time and didn't look like he was going far away."

"Let's talk about it later." Shen Xiaoye cut off two feet of dirty cloth and planned to use the madder stored in the space to color it again.

She started to act immediately, but just as the red water dye was cooked, someone outside reported that Manager Sun had arrived.

Shen Xiaoye saw that Sun Mi was wearing a plain robe commonly worn by merchants, and had a reserved smile, looking a bit like a shopkeeper.

She couldn't help but ask: "Do you need to change your identity when you come here?

Or is it that Feng Jiu's accomplice is secretly spying on me? "That shouldn't be the case. The little black cat's reconnaissance ability is top-notch.

Sun Mi denied it, “No, we caught Feng Jiu’s accomplice, not everyone is as silent as him.

I'm looking for you now because I want to buy a truckload of cloth to send out to meet their contact.

I thought, good things should be kept within the family, do you have any here?"

“You don’t have to tell me in so much detail.

I have 180 pieces of cloth here, and I can ask someone to get some more for you.

I just don't know how much you want to load in one car?" Shen Xiaoye couldn't help but sigh for Feng Jiu. His father and grandfather were all righteous soldiers, but he surrendered to the enemy because of private reasons.

Sun Mi: “More than a hundred pieces are enough. We are not really selling cloth, so we can just make some disguises.

Besides, my men have already crossed the clear road. How about letting them be your guard? Once everyone is caught, we will withdraw."

Seeing that she was silent, Sun Mi continued, "Miss Shen may not know that after the incident was reported, His Majesty knew that you were Mr. Shen's niece, and that you were the first to discover the thief and participated in the arrest, and praised Mr. Shen: Great good.

Our commander has issued a special order to ensure your safety in the near future."

"..." Shen Xiaoye didn't expect that she would reveal her name to the emperor. She nodded and said, "Thank you very much."

As long as you are not protecting her or spying on her, just protect her.

Sun Mi also came prepared. He asked his men disguised as peddlers to guard outside the gate of the house. Once Shen Xiaoye gave his approval, all the people were in place immediately.

He himself bought 150 pieces of cloth at the lowest price.

Shen Xiaoye got to know the peddler again and learned that his name was Xia Chen, so he asked, "Why did those people in the Drum Tower try to scam me?"

She knew very well that with the ability of the Guard Bureau, there was no need for her to investigate personally, as someone would have already started to capture the other two who were hiding.

Xia Chen thought for a moment and said, "They have confessed that they accepted money from a wealthy businessman and that's why they are looking for trouble with you."

"The rich businessman once lost money because of my cloth business. When he saw that things were going nowhere, he suddenly disappeared, right?" Shen Xiaoye laughed, "There is no connection between it and any official in the capital."

"The girl already knows it, so why should I say more?" Xia Chen has received the news. The little girl in front of him has really offended someone, and he is a disciple of a senior official of the current dynasty.

As the army is about to set out, their superiors will not let them implicate anyone during the investigation. Everything will have to wait until they return home after a great victory.

Shen Xiaoye was referring to the son-in-law of the Yang family who worked as an official in Daxing County. She didn't know that Xia Chen was thinking of Geng Shiyong, a disciple of the Minister of Rites.

But it doesn’t matter, these two groups are in the same group.

She said, "Now that the capital has been cleaned up, can I go back to Linghe County?"

While picking up my grandparents, I also went to see if the Yuan family had successfully recognized my relatives, and to get some more cloth to sell.

There was another reason. She had a premonition that Lu Guan's cousin's wife would come again. After all, after buying the yard next door, she would definitely decorate it.

It's uncomfortable dealing with that person, so it's best to avoid him.

"Yes." Xia Chen gave an affirmative answer.

So Shen Xiaoye rented a horse and returned home that afternoon. However, she didn't know that Yuan, who was still in Linghe County, came in from the gate of the county government office to find Master Yi.

This caused all the officials, both big and small, who had heard the rumor, to wait and see.

When Yuan met someone in the living room of Yin Hotel, she said bluntly: "Your parents didn't give me a divorce letter, but I won't accept it even if they give it to me without any fault.

You know, they told me that you might not be around anymore and forced me to remarry. It’s ridiculous that I still kept a false promise and looked for my husband.

Now that you have found a new lover, we can either go to the capital and ask Shuntian Prefecture to arrange for your separation, or I can report it to the Censor.

At the very least, I can still beat the drum for the hearing. And you don’t care about the two children, so they belong to me.”

"Madam, why do you have to do this?" Master Yi knew her character best, and he would achieve his goal even if it meant risking his life.

Yuan said sternly, “Yi Chunyao, please call me Madam Yuan.

I'll give you a stick of incense. If you don't agree, we'll go to the capital to sue you."

Her voice shocked away all the eavesdroppers, and they gathered in groups of three or two to gossip, "This one is not as gentle as that one."

"A country girl and a scholarly family, the difference is obvious."

"Oh, a family of scholars stealing someone's husband?"

"Keep your voice down. After all, she is the elder sister of County Lord Deng."

"I wonder how Master Yi will choose?"

Of course he chose to go to the capital to write a letter of divorce, otherwise if the censor really found out, who knows what would happen in the end.

After all, Master Yi had the title of scholar, and he didn't want other things to be revealed during the investigation, but he had to comfort his wife at home.

Yuan, ah, it’s better to divorce her, so that she won’t be a burden to me in the imperial examinations in the future.

……

When Shen Xiaoye was riding on a sparsely populated official road, she would increase her horse speed by three times. Xia Chen, who was guarding her, discovered that the girl's riding skills were very good and she was not inferior to him.

From yesterday afternoon until this morning, Miss Shen did not waste time enjoying the scenery on the road like other girls from educated families.

But the fact is, there are almost no trees welcoming spring along the way, and Shen Xiaoye has no fun looking at the bare tree trunks.

But she didn't expect that soon after entering Linghe County, she would see Shi Cun driving a coach.

She quickly stopped, clasped her fists and said, "Brother Shicun, are you and Mr. going to Beijing?"

"No." Shi Cun also stopped and the curtain behind him opened, revealing several people from the Yuan family.

The two children in the car seemed to have fallen asleep in the arms of the temporary worker.

Yuan got out of the car and greeted him, "Is the young lady's business done?"

"Well, what are you doing? Where is my uncle?" Shen Xiaoye saw that there was another car following behind the car, but the one driving it was Master Yi.

what's the situation?

Yuan said: "I have already troubled Mr. Pan to send someone to escort her. It was me who insisted on not letting Mr. Shen make another trip to escort her.

It's just a matter of going to Shuntian Prefecture to make a promise, and separation is not a glorious thing."

"..." Shen Xiaoye was shocked. She glanced at Mr. Yi in the car behind her. He was a scholar with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he abandoned his wife and children.

She said: "There is always beautiful grass everywhere in the world, and spring will come within a hundred steps.

Congratulations to Madam Yuan for escaping from the sea of ​​suffering and leaping into the abyss of dragons."

Ten Inches: What?

Xia Chen: I’ve opened my eyes. Some people congratulate others on their separation.

Yuan heard this and laughed: "Thank you for your good advice. I will invite you to drink some other day. Are you willing to drink?"

"I wish!" Shen Xiaoye and her high-fived in tacit understanding, and they looked at each other and laughed.

When they parted, Shen Xiaoye reminded them: "Don't forget to ask for Er Jia'er's living allowance."
