Go to the small building

Fu Shuhua, who was completely surprised by the object in his hand, was speechless for a long time, just sat silently with his hands down, waiting for Su Xiaoqian to explain those unknown things to him.

"Have Shuhua ever heard such a sentence—"Da Bei has a merchant who entered the imperial city, which is comparable to the Duan family in the world." Su Xiaoqian asked meaningfully while looking at Fu Shuhua who was sitting in front of him.

Fu Shuhua is obviously not unfamiliar with this sentence. Since childhood, this sentence has been often mentioned by the uncles in the business. When he heard them say it, there was envy and a trace of jealousy that could not be concealed in their tone.

"Xiaoqian is talking about the Mobei Duan family, the head of the world's imperial merchants," Fu Shuhua hesitated to answer Su Xiaoqian.

"That's right, it's the Duan family. However, the real strength of the Duan family is not only the Mobei you mentioned, but also the entire Jiangnan, and even the entire Dabei. Next", Su Xiaoqian looked at Fu Shuhua with satisfaction, and she really saw the right person.

"What do you have to do with what you said to me? The Duan family doesn't seem to have anything to do with your investigation of our matter." Fu Shuhua secretly speculated in his heart, but he still couldn't see any clues on his face. He just heard Su Xiaoqian mention the whole Da Bei When it was all related to the Duan family, the fingers that rubbed the rim of the cup froze slightly.

"Since Shuhua knows that the Duan family is the head of the imperial merchants in the world, then do you know why?" Su Xiaoqian calmly helped himself and Fu Shuhua refill a cup of tea, and asked quietly.

"This..." Fu Shuhua hesitated for the first time and did not dare to draw conclusions, "It is said that because Duan's parents and daughter are the birth mothers of today's son, under the shadow of the Queen Mother, the Duan family is naturally stronger than other merchants, and Shuhua is just one of the merchants. Girl, I really don't know about government affairs," Fu Shuhua told the version he heard from the business, but he was really not sure in his heart. His family has always been an honest and responsible businessman. Once it involves government affairs, it is really not Fu Shuhua. The center of attention is gone.

"Heh~~ People in the world only know that Duan's parents and daughters are the current queen mother, but they don't know that her position as queen mother was supported by the already wealthy Duan family. The identity is known to everyone."

These words of satirizing the court are disrespectful, if someone with ulterior motives listens to it, the future of the Su family may be in jeopardy.Fu Shuhua looked at Su Xiaoqian, who was calm and breezy in front of him, without any unnatural expression at all, as if the words she just said were dissipated in the wind, Fu Shuhua wondered if he heard it wrong just now.

Taking a sip of tea, Su Xiaoqian didn't look at Fu Shuhua's expression, and asked himself, "Does Shuhua know why I named my garden Lanyuan?"

Didn't they just take the four things of pine, bamboo, plum and orchid? Could it be that there is something else hidden, Fu Shuhua thought but didn't respond.

"Duan Lanqin", Su Xiaoqian sighed softly, spit out three words from his mouth, and then added, "My mother", the voice seemed so long and deep that Fu Shuhua could hear a Inexplicable sadness.

"Do you mean..." Fu Shuhua hesitated and didn't know whether to continue speaking, knowing that Su Xiaoqian hadn't finished speaking, Fu Shuhua just stared at her, his beautiful eyes shining brightly, waiting for the answer.

"That's right, there are actually three brothers and sisters in the contemporary Duan family, all of whom are compatriots of the same mother. Among them, the current Empress Dowager Duan Qianshuang is in the middle and is the eldest daughter in the family. As for my mother—" Su Xiao paused, deeply He took a deep breath before continuing, "It's the youngest daughter of the Duan family, the younger sister of the current Empress Dowager."

In this way, the current queen mother is actually Su Xiaoqian's biological aunt, and the Su family can be regarded as relatives of the emperor.Fu Shuhua was a little moved, then Su Xiaoqian came to him today not just to explain the relationship between the Su family and the Duan family.

Hearing Su Xiaoqian mention his mother, he was deeply saddened and couldn't get rid of it. Thinking that Su Xiaoqian was the only head of the big Su family now, Fu Shuhua also guessed a little bit.Now I can't help but say a warm comforting voice, "Smile——you"

"My mother passed away when I was very young, and my father has been depressed since then. He was seriously injured in an accident and went away a few years later. Therefore, everyone in the world knows that the Duan family has a queen dowager, but they don't remember the Duan family. There was also a young girl named Duan Lanqin, and I don't remember...the Duan family has an eldest son, Duan Huanchu." The sadness when he mentioned his parents earlier made Fu Shuhua feel sympathetic, but when it came to the last half sentence, Su Xiaoqian But he paused and looked at himself with a half-smile.

"In order to withstand the huge family business, the three children of the Duan family received the most rigorous education since they were young. As a result, they are all talented and talented. Among them, the eldest son of Duan is proficient in everything. The next heir of the Duan family came to see him, but it is a pity that he has disappeared without a trace for some reason in the past few decades, and has been almost completely forgotten by the world. It was not until recently that the Su family finally got news of him."

Su Xiaoqian's last sentence made Fu Shuhua's heart stagnate. All kinds of information in his mind were strung together. There was an answer ready to come out, but Fu Shuhua suppressed it. This is impossible.

"Shuhua, do you know how we got the news about him?" Su Xiaoqian's bewitching voice made Fu Shuhua faintly aware of a sense of danger.

"I have never met the person Xiaoqian said, let alone have nothing to do with him, and how did I know it?" This feeling of being vaguely close to the truth but still unable to comprehend it drove Fu Shuhua crazy.

"Shuhua really doesn't know," Su Xiaoqian said with a slight smile in his tone, and his tone was brisk, completely different from the melancholy and sad expression just now.

"I really don't know," Fu Shuhua gritted his teeth and replied biting the bullet.

"Chi..." Su Xiaoqian sat on the chair regardless of her image and laughed wildly, "You—" pointing at Fu Shuhua but couldn't stop laughing.

With a dark face, Fu Shuhua looked at Su Xiao, who had no image at all, and smiled happily, pursing his lips and swallowing the words on his lips.She really didn't know, but Su Xiaoqian wouldn't react to such a degree.

Su Xiao smiled for a long time before slowing down, gently rubbing her sore belly from laughing with her fingers, panting lightly while holding the table and slowly calming down, stretching out her hand to gently wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, at this time The whole cold and indifferent face was full of blush after laughing, and the tender skin on the cheeks became more delicate and white against that plain face.

"Xiaoqian is rude, Shuhua is really sorry." Su Xiaoqian managed to control it, and then looked at Fu Shuhua with a bad face and said with a smile, "It seems that Xiaolou's idiot really didn't tell you anything."

What, this matter has something to do with Xiaolou, and the answer flashed into my mind in such a short time, could it be—impossible, Xiaolou's master is a woman, no way.

As if he couldn't see Fu Shuhua's disturbed look, Su Xiaoqian continued to pour a ladle of cold water, "Then you should be Duan Huanchu, my erratic uncle, who doesn't know Xiaolou's master."

"Impossible, Xiaolou's master is a woman, how could it be your uncle?" Fu Shuhua cried out uncontrollably,

"Pfft—what? My uncle is a woman, why didn't I know?" Su Xiaoqian, who was about to put tea into his mouth, was so startled by Fu Shuhua that he spit out a sip of tea, "Did Xiaolou tell you?"

That's right, Duan Xiaolou only said how well his master treated her and how he took care of her, but never said that her master was a woman, it was all his own wishful thinking, but——

"But Xiaolou said that her master was very good-looking, this—" Isn't it a description of a woman, Fu Shuhua still wants to continue to fight for it.

"Well, indeed, the Duan family has never had a bad life." Even Duan Xiaolou, even Duan Xiaolou chosen by Duan Huanchu.

Su Xiaoqian took a sip of tea and looked at the troubled Fu Shuhua in front of him comfortably, hehe~~ Xiaolou, I won't be able to save you later.

Indeed, from Su Xiaoqian, one should be able to vaguely find Duan Lanqin's appearance back then, and Duan Qianshuang, who could become the queen mother, naturally looks not bad. Naturally, it won't be any worse.It is not unreasonable for Duan Xiaolou to say that her master was born good-looking, not to mention that Duan Xiaolou's martial arts are all taught by her master, if a woman can take care of all these, the more Fu Shuhua thinks about it, the more she feels that Duan Xiaolou has distorted her own understanding Look, a pretty face instantly pulled down.

"What evidence do you have to prove that Xiaolou's master is Duan Huanchu?" Even if he was really wrong, and Xiaolou's master is really a man, that doesn't mean that person is Duan Huanchu, Fu Shuhua was quite unconvinced.

"Oh~~Evidence? Evidence——" Su Xiaoqian deliberately put it off, tapped her lips with her fingertips, and looked like she was thinking hard, and finally realized, "Isn't Xiaolou's surname Duan the evidence?"

What kind of evidence is this? Fu Shuhua felt that his patience had been stretched to the limit, he retracted his fingers in his palm, and fixedly looked at Su Xiaoqian who was smiling charmingly.

Knowing that it might not end well if she continues to tease her, Su Xiaoqian put away her smile and opened the paper that Fu Shuhua put on the table that she had just handed to her, looked into her eyes and said slowly,

"This is the proof"

Looking at the silver note in Su Xiaoqian's hand, Fu Shuhua frowned. It was the one hundred taels of silver note that Xiaolou handed over to the old bustard of Xianrenyuan to redeem himself. It's special, as if I've never seen it before. I took a second look at that time, but now it's strange to appear in Su Xiaoqian's hands. Now Su Xiaoqian also said that this is evidence of the relationship between Duan Xiaolou and Duan Huanchu's master and apprentice. Fu Shuhua It feels like things are moving in a clear but vague direction.
