Chapter 51 Sunset? Plum Blossoms?
"If you don't understand something, you can ask me." Song Ci didn't want the people around him to be blind.
Especially since this person is Wanxiang, the person she trusts the most.
Wanxiang's round eyes flashed, and she expressed her doubts. The master and servant sat under the candlelight, and Song Ci explained it to her bit by bit.
..........
Tian'er's ability to find out information is even better than Song Ci thought.
She was out for three days and basically found out everything about Wanxia.
"Wanxia's real name is Li Hua. Her life story isn't what she said. Her family couldn't afford to eat, so she was sold to a human trafficker in exchange for silver to feed herself."
Song Ci frowned slightly. It seemed that there was indeed something fishy about Wanxia's identity. She had known from the beginning that Li Yao had been able to blackmail Wanxia into doing things for him. Besides offering her some benefits, he must have some other leverage over her. Otherwise, Wanxia wouldn't have been so obedient.
In her previous life, she only found out at the end that Wanxia belonged to the eldest wife.
"Then you must have found out her true identity, Wanxia, no, what is Lihua's true identity?"
Tian'er: "Li Hua's identity may be more complicated than you imagine. She married at the age of fifteen and gave birth to a son. The man was a hunter who made a living by hunting in the village. Although he was not rich, he lived a good life in the village. Two years after Li Hua and the hunter were married, they gave birth to a son. In order to raise the child, life gradually became difficult. She couldn't bear it anymore, so she ran away secretly."
Wanxiang gasped when she heard this. She could never have imagined that Wanxia was married and had a son.
It was sneaked out, no wonder...
Song Ci: "Anything else?"
Tian'er looked strange, and after a moment's thought, she spoke, "There's another thing. She once had to work in another mansion. Later, because of some bad things she did, she was kicked out... But logically, after what she had done, no one should want her anymore. Human traffickers would only sell servants who committed serious offenses to low-class places, but for some reason, the eldest lady of the Song family bought her."
"Oh?" Song Ci narrowed her eyes slightly, vaguely guessing, "What did she do?"
"Seducing the young master of the mansion." Tian'er paused, "She has dirty hands."
really.
Looking at some of Wanxia's previous behavior, Song Ci could probably guess that she was not a good person, but she did not expect that she was so ambitious and even seduced the young master of the mansion.
Wanxia's appearance is not stunning, but her every move is very charming, otherwise Boss Song would not dote on her as much as he does now.
"I understand, Tian'er, I have one more thing to trouble you with..."
Tian'er smiled slightly and said, "Miss, what are your instructions?"
...........
It was several months later that Lin Huo saw Song Ci again since he went to study at the academy.
Wanxiang led him in familiarly. The girl was lying on a piece of flawless snow-white fur. Her skin was even whiter than the snow-white fur. Her jet-black hair was casually draped, her face was without any makeup, and her lips were as pink and white as cherry blossoms.
As if she was troubled by something, she bit the tip of her pen, frowned, and looked at the notebook in her hand with a worried look.
Lin Huo was actually stunned at the door for a moment.
After not seeing her for a few months, the girl in front of me seemed to be more beautiful than before.
There was no gold, silver or jade ornaments on her body. Her hair was half tied up with a jade-colored ribbon, and a colorful belt was tied around her waist.
"Long time no see, Miss Song San."
Song Ci looked up when she heard that and said with a gentle smile, "Mr. Lin, it's been a while."
After Lin Huo sat down, Tian'er served tea. It was the first time Lin Huo saw her and he was surprised to see a new face around her.
I saw Tian'er's walking posture, the strength of her movements, and her eyes became a little more serious.
"What happened to Master Lin?"
Lin Huo shook his head. "Your maid is very skilled. With her by your side, Miss Song will be safer when she does things."
Song Ci was not surprised at Lin Huo's sharpness. She had vaguely noticed last time that Lin Huo was not like an ordinary weak scholar, and seemed to have some skills.
It's just that the two of them are not familiar with each other, and she has no intention of exploring other people's secrets.
"Mr. Lin is quite good at martial arts."
Lin Huo was not surprised that Song Ci knew that he was good at martial arts. In his eyes, the girl in front of him was very insightful, smart and witty, and she also hid many secrets.
"I came here this time to tell Miss Song San that sea transportation will start at the end of the year. The prices of the shop you bought in advance and the things you stockpiled have begun to increase threefold."
Seeing that Song Ci was not surprised, Lin Huo became even more curious, "Miss Song San, do you know why the maritime ban was initially opposed by the ministers, but was later lifted?"
Lin Huo didn't wait for her answer and continued, "The Minister of Personnel, who was originally very opposed, suddenly sided with the supporters half a month ago. His only son was injured by Feng Yi from the Feng family while dining and drinking at a restaurant. I don't know who suppressed the matter, but the Minister of Personnel immediately sided with the supporters."
As he spoke, he paid attention to Song Ci's expression. Seeing the clear eyes of the girl, he couldn't tell for a moment whether Song Ci knew about this or not.
Is it really such a coincidence that the son of the Minister of Personnel was beaten at this critical moment?
And was pushed into the supporting faction?
If she didn't know, how could she dare to use almost all the silver she had to buy the shop and the goods.
Lin Huo didn't understand.
Seeing his complicated expression, Song Ci immediately guessed what he was thinking.
Lin Huo was clever and quick-witted, so sooner or later she would start to wonder how she got the information. However... she truly didn't know why the maritime ban had been lifted in her previous life.
She only knows the result, not the process.
As if to conceal his feelings, Song Ci picked up the teacup and took a sip of water. He said calmly, "As long as the result is what we want, it's fine. As soon as the maritime ban is lifted, we will sell the shop and the goods as quickly as possible."
Lin Huo was curious: "The goods can be sold, but won't the shop be worth more in the future?"
"No." She gently put down the teacup. "The original value is the highest."
After all, it is hard to say whether the trade can continue in five years. But she knows that in five years, the Zhou Dynasty will be in turmoil with its neighboring countries.
"Okay. I'll do as you say."
Song Ci thought about it, and suddenly remembered that he had finished the exam, so he asked, "How did you do?"
Lin Huo was suddenly asked this question. He was stunned for a few seconds before grinning, "Not bad. I shouldn't fail the exam."
More than just not failing the exam...
You are the first one.
Song Ci thought to himself, he is indeed the first place. With this kind of character, it is no wonder that he can win three prizes in a row.
"I've prepared some gifts for you." She turned to Wanxiang and said, "Bring me what I prepared for Master Lin."
