I played as an assistant in ancient times

Chapter 191 Do You Understand?

So this meeting was extremely brief. Dai was not familiar with them, and had no blood relationship with them. Out of politeness, Shen Xiaoye and his cousin tried their best to show each other outward respect. They sat for only a cup of tea before saying goodbye and leaving.

The two people, who were thinking about this, had not exchanged opinions yet, but they observed the arrangements of the servants in the courtyard in unison.

At first glance, the brother and sister discovered that there were a lot of people where Aunt Dai lived, and it was Xiao Cai who picked them up and dropped them off from beginning to end, which was abnormal.

So, as soon as they left the house rented by Master Wang, they immediately called aside Xiao Cai, who had sent them out.

"Who was that mother just now?" Shen Cungeng could see some problems without his cousin's reminder.

Xiao Cai did not hide anything and said, "Mother Dai was originally one of Aunt Dai's dowry. She has always been loyal and has a strong temper, so Aunt Dai often accompanies her when she goes out."

It's just that I have a bad temper!

Shen Xiaoye and her cousin exchanged a quick glance, and this time she asked, "Why don't you go to Beijing, but come to Linghe County, which is even farther away?"

"It was the Third Young Master who told me to do so." Seeing that the two were confused, Xiao Cai quickly explained, "It's like this, when the old lady was still alive, she insisted that the madam and the aunt were still alive.

After the concubine came into the family and gave birth to a child, the old lady asked everyone to call them the Eldest Young Master, the Second Young Lady, and the Third Young Master according to their date of birth.

Currently, the Wang family only has these few adult girls and boys."

"The old lady is wise." Although he had never seen her and would never see her again, it did not prevent Shen Cungeng from respecting the old lady he had never met.

Shen Xiaoye stared at Xiao Cai and said, "Is Taoist Qingxi also specially invited by Master Wang to escort him?

When he went to look for his nephew, did he ask a Taoist priest to help him? "

She emphasized the word "escort" especially strongly, and Xiao Cai nodded without any surprise, and said, "The Third Young Master ordered that if there is anything, please ask me to make the decision."

After a pause, he bowed again and said, "I am here on orders. If possible, please help my third young master.

After all, the young master is the eldest master's legitimate son, and also the nephew of my aunt."

Naturally, both the master and servant had already carefully investigated the situation of the Shen family. Apart from anything else, Shen Changsui was the only one who was training troops in Beijing with the emperor. He knew more people than the two young masters, so he might be able to lend a hand.

He couldn't bow, and the two siblings couldn't give a clear answer right away, so Shen Cungeng helped him up and said, "Let's go home and report first. If there's anything, you can send someone to Jiuli Village at any time."

"Thank you, young master." Xiao Cai insisted on sending the two of them onto the mule cart and nodded to Guard Xia who was driving the cart.

It was not until the car left the county that Shen Xiaoye said, "This is house arrest..." biological mother.

"I didn't expect that Master Wang would dare to do such a risky thing." Shen Cungeng knew that Master Wang was a Wen Ju, and if he did this, his reputation would be ruined if the news got out to others.

He said, "I think it's okay if my mother doesn't recognize him."

Shen Xiaoye did not jump to conclusions. She understood the principle of not alienating relatives. "Well, cousin, I noticed that no one mentioned your grandfather much."

"Mr. Wang didn't say anything, my father didn't ask, and my mother said she didn't remember at all." Shen Cungeng always felt that his mother remembered, but she was just used to not having a father.

At this time, Shen Xiaoye asked Guard Xia if he knew. He shook his head and said he didn't know, but then he said, "I only know that Mr. Wang's brother was promoted to lieutenant general not long ago."

"The families of the third-rank military commanders in the border towns should all be relocated to the capital, right?

So Master Wang went to Beijing to fight the front battle, and the Wang family will move to the capital one after another later?" Shen Xiaoye had many questions but couldn't ask him directly.

But Shen Cungeng asked directly, "Why did Admiral Wang only send a part of them to Beijing? Isn't he afraid of being criticized by the censor?"

Shen Xiaoye and Guard Xia looked at him, wondering if he understood what was going on.

……

"Madam, I just don't understand. You are the third young master's biological mother, and you are the first one to suspect when the young master is missing." Mother Dai was very indignant.

"And the two of you just now, what kind of attitude did you have? They just bowed to you and didn't treat you as their elder at all."

"I am just a concubine. Even if I am your elder, how can a legitimate daughter's child pay me such respects?

Also, you are not allowed to call me Madam." Dai laughed at herself. She did not want to continue living in Wang's house.

It just so happened that the eldest young master was promoted and the eldest young mistress was about to give birth, so she took the initiative to escort the child to Beijing, but unexpectedly an accident happened on the way.

"Besides, she failed to take good care of her son and ended up losing him." Her child had been taken away by the old lady to be raised since he was one month old, and there had always been a layer of distance between him and her.

Speaking of this, Mother Dai became even angrier, "This is not your fault, it was General Chai's son who invited the young masters of several families away, and that's why the accident happened.

As soon as the incident happened, you immediately sent people to search for him, and you were injured because you set out on horseback yourself."

"It's a mistake not to find someone else." Dai coughed. She was too anxious at the time and didn't ride the horse well and fell.

When Dai's mother handed her a cup of hot water after she calmed down, she said, "Tell Xiao Cai to prepare some top-quality bird's nest and supplements and have him send them to the second young lady."

"Mrs……"

"Ok?"

"Yes, aunt."

Shen Xiaoye didn't know about the conversation between the master and servant. She hadn't walked far when she saw Shen Changsui waiting under the bridge outside the city with his donkey.

He said, "Xiao Ye, Taoist Qingxi has returned to Taixu Temple for the time being. He asked me to remind you that after the river thaws, the warehouse at the ferry will become crowded.

The warehouse where the madder was previously stored was only rented out until mid-March."

"My family will build another warehouse soon." Shen Xiaoye has discussed with his family that after the school building is completed, they will build the main house in the east courtyard.

For this purpose, my uncle went to the county town to find Master Chang from the escort agency and contacted him for a batch of blue bricks, which would arrive around late February.

She had something else on her mind, so she got off the car under the pretext of checking the goods, said a few words to her cousin, and then walked towards the warehouse with her fourth uncle, away from Guard Xia.

He said: "Master Fang has received news that Taoist Master Hengxi and his men have become Mr. Wang's guards and are leaving the city.

Uncle, can you tell me what happened over there?"

Shen Changsui pondered for a moment and said, "First there were tributes from foreign countries, and then there was a mutiny in Liangzhou, but Your Majesty plans to swear an oath to leave the capital on the eighth day of February.

The prince was ordered to dispatch troops from the Shaanxi Provincial Military Commission to quell the rebellion, and my sister-in-law's eldest brother was among them.

Of course, only if the Wang family is really my sister-in-law’s family, can she call me big brother.

Several things happened at the same time, and the military control along the way was very strict, so Master Wang had almost no help in looking for people over there.

However, because several children of military generals were abducted inexplicably at the same time, someone reported this to His Majesty, and a team was immediately sent to search for them.

Among them were me and Lu Guan, but there were too many clues. He was heading northwest, and I was heading toward the capital."

"Can you go home privately after accepting the mission?" Shen Xiaoye became worried. This was a taboo in ancient times.
