Lady of Fortune, Jiao Niang

In fact, even in the capital city, there are a lot of battles in the market. It is a girl's house, and there are many officials who bully the common people.

Just now, the people around didn’t dare to speak, but they looked at Miss Shen, who was dressed up as a rich man, and she said she had something to do with the Qi family. Who doesn’t know the Qi family’s wine shop that occupies half a street, who would dare provoke?

Now, this manager Qin has seen many people, since he said that this person is a liar, then she is a liar.

There are not many people who see officials when they say they don’t agree, but if they do, it’s still quite pleasant.

Ye Jiao was fiddling with the jade pendant on her hand, and she didn't pay much attention to Lady Shen, but she could hear what Qin Guan said.

When the women looked over, Ye Jiao nodded, Xiao Su understood her mind, deliberately put on a savage expression, and waved her hands a little disgustingly two steps forward: "Where do people come from so many things, full of lies. , If it wasn’t for the second youngest grandmother just to run into it, I don’t know what moth would come out, drag it away."

Before Ms. Shen made a noise about what was happening, there were already a few women in the Qi mansion who came up and twisted their arms on the ground, and the women who shouted and got up, dragging Ms. Shen and her. The maidservant headed towards Fu Yin Yamen.

Guan Shi Qin smiled and said something to Dong Wu, and then patted him on the shoulder. Dong Wu immediately trot and followed the women.

The people around had just been unable to get through, and now they gave up a way and watched her leave, with some disgust in their eyes.

But after being dragged a few steps away, Miss Shen realized that she had met the real Qi family together!

But when she was in her boudoir, the Shen family could not be ranked in front of the Qi family. Ms. Shen had never seen what the Qi family looked like. I just saw Ye Jiao and don’t know who she is. So, that pretty-looking woman is Qi Erlang's wife?

However, if he just said something wrong, why did he see the official?

No, that's not right, these are not important, the important thing is how to enter the palace if you go to see the official!

Ms. Shen finally knew that she was afraid, she wanted to go back to Ye Jiao and say please, to Guan Shi Qin to make it clear that she can't go to the Yamen, absolutely can't!

However, most of the women in the Qi mansion were brought from their hometowns, or signed a death agreement, so they were the most efficient.

Maybe they wouldn't listen to Qin's words, but Ye Jiao nodded, and the women naturally followed suit.

Before Miss Shen could speak, they worked hard to drag her away, without giving her a chance.

The pearl hairpin on the maid's hand also fell to the ground, I don't know who picked it up.

The old man got an ingot of gold and was already enough, and he didn't worry about looking for Chaizi, but knelt on the ground, kowtowed at Ye Jiao from a distance, walked into the crowd and left.

The crowd watching the excitement also spread out, but their eyes looked at Ye Jiao.

I have long heard that the house over there was bought by the Qi family, but no one has actually seen the Qi family. Although it is an accident now, they can be regarded as seeing the true face of the young grandma.

No one remembered the girl Shen just now, but Ye Jiao looked pure and kind in comparison.

A few servants in the nearby mansion were also looking into the situation. After hearing the whole story, they turned around and reported back to their masters. Ye Jiao didn't know that it was just a trivial matter, but it had quietly spread.

Little Ginseng didn't care about those, but after a few words with Guanshi Qin, he returned to the Qi mansion, and Guanshi Qin went to the study.

Qi Yun, who was reading the account book, didn't ask too much about what happened outside. Seeing Guan Shi came, he just talked to him about the shop business in the capital.

Now in the capital, the Qi family is just a wine shop, but it has done a great deal.

Just monopolizing more than half of the liquor business in Beijing is enough to establish a position, and the Qi family has a golden plaque, and people around them dare not bully even if they are jealous.

In addition, Qin Guanshi in charge of business is different from Wei's shopkeeper on the river. He does not have so many sleek methods, but he is gentle and kind, everything is step by step, the foundation is excellent, and the books are exceptionally clean.

But Qi Yun asked him in the end: "You know how to martial arts?"

Guanshi Qin smiled and leaned back, still with that gentle and jade-like appearance: "When I go back to the second young master, I have practiced before, and I have learned a little."

Qi Yun nodded, looked at him twice, and asked, "Do you know who you drove away just now?"

Manager Qin was taken aback, then shook his head.

Qi Yun said indifferently: "That is the beauty who is about to enter the palace to be selected. Every woman sent by the state government is registered. Except for the inner court, the nearby yamen have no right to detain or intervene."

As soon as he said this, Guan Shi Qin frowned slightly, his forehead also sweated.

He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but said nothing.

But Qi Yun had just learned the general idea from Tiezi’s report, and looked up at him: "You didn’t actually want to send her to the Yamen, but let Dong Wu follow and see which girl she is, if you provoke her. If you can afford it, you will be fine. If you can't afford it..." Qi Yun didn't continue to say, but just looked at Qin Guan.

Manager Qin didn't speak, but lowered his eyebrows slightly.

If he can't provoke him, he is indeed letting Dong Wu act on his own.

Whether it is tied or scared is not necessarily true.

Seeing his reaction like this, Qi Yun knew that he was right. This person was really kind and determined in his heart.

He couldn't help but look at Guanshi Qin again. He really didn't understand where Song Guanshi, a shrewd but timid man, came from such a courageous relative.

When Guan Shi saw that Qi Yun had taken his thoughts seriously, he suppressed a smile, and bowed to Qi Yun and said, "I caused trouble for the boss, and I am willing to be punished, but I hope the boss can give it to me how to solve this problem. An idea."

Qi Yun looked at him, but did not speak immediately.

How to solve it is easy. From the beginning, Qi Yun didn't take the Shen family seriously, but now it's better to save trouble and trouble.

It was Manager Qin who asked him to ponder just now.

This person is martial, determined, and does not seem to be easy to control.

Like Guan Shi, even if two stupid words come out from time to time, Qi Yun can correct it a little bit, because he knows Guan Shi is soft-eared, and he will listen if he persuades him. When he encounters the slickness of the shopkeeper Wei, look. Swear directly at the wrong place, and a few harsh words can make him scared.

It's just this kind of capable but determined person. If he isn't smart, he will get into big trouble in the future.

But now it seems that Guan Shi Qin is very clever and can understand the winks, Qi Yun slowly said: "It's fine, I have my own way, but you," the voice was weak, "Qin is in charge. Okay, but it’s better to think more about the next thing."

Guan Shi Qin breathed a sigh of relief, ignoring the sweat, and bowed lower: "What the second young master said, I remember."

Qi Yun said again: "Then you said, what should I do now?"

"Going back to the second young master, I'll get someone to call Dong Wu back. It's just..." Guan Shi Qin struggled with a gentle face, "Second Young Master, I'm willing to admit any penalty, but can I not fine the month? I still count on it to eat."

Qi Yun, who was still speculating about Qin's mind just now, couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at him.

I thought about it a lot, but I never thought about it, this person only fancy money.

In this way, he and Guan Shi are really relatives...

In the end, Qi Yun only asked him to go to the library, and the next one remembered to talk about it later, and waved his hand to let him leave.

Qi Yun flipped through the account book again, then closed it and put it aside, then picked up a pen and wrote a letter for Tie Zi to find someone to send it to Song Guan. Then he got up and went to the backyard.

Before entering the yard, he heard Xu Bao's laughter.

The child looks like a day, Xu Bao looks taller than his peers. Although his voice is still soft, but his voice is loud, especially when he laughs, it is very crisp and easy to recognize.

When Qi Yun entered the door, he saw Xu Bao standing on the soft couch, laughing and teasing Ning Bao with a ball of yarn.

It's rare that Ning Bao is awake, Xu Bao is holding his favorite toy again, and the usually lazy little guy is now working hard to reach out, pursing his mouth, frowning, and screaming in his mouth to force himself. child.

Ruyi sat there staring at it, not moving.

But when Xu Bao didn't notice, Ruyi suddenly crawled over and hugged Xu Bao's short legs!

Xu Bao was taken aback for a moment, his arms dropped, and then the swollen Ning Bao did it by himself, holding the ball of yarn with both hands and snatching it over. The whole person came together to protect the ball in his arms, watching Xu Bao with vigilant eyes, rolling Rolling away, she shrank into Ye Jiao's arms sitting beside the soft couch.

When Qi Yun entered the door, what he saw was Xu Bao standing there in a daze, chuckling wishfully, and Ning Bao buried his face in Ye Jiao's arms.

On the contrary, Xiao Su and Mrs. Mo, who were standing by the side, laughed together, deeply feeling that the little doll is the source of happiness.

Qi Yun didn't see the cause and effect, and didn't know what he was laughing at, so he just said, "Xu Bao looks a little taller than before."

Xu Bao, who had just been snatched from the yarn ball, immediately raised his head and looked at Qi Yun, showing a smile: "Xu Bao is high!"

Ye Jiao patted Ning Bao's back in her arms, looked at her eldest son, and thought for a while and said, "Probably Xu Bao's head is bigger than the child next to him, so he looks taller."

Qi Yun:...

Xu Bao also yelled, "Big head!"

As soon as he said this, even Qi Yun curled his mouth, but it seemed that Xu Bao's head was indeed a circle bigger than the average child, but as a parent, Qi Yun always thought that such a child was smart.

Every parent can only see the advantages when looking at their children.

Seeing Qi Yun's return, Ye Jiao put Ning Bao on the soft couch and asked Madam Mo to look at this more, so she got up and pulled Qi Yun to the outer room.

Then, Ye Jiao handed him a wooden box: "I just bought this, look at it."

In fact, Qi Yun knew Ye Jiao had drew a gold ingot and bought a piece of purple jade, but he pretended not to know. When he opened the box, he looked at the jade with excellent water head inside, and smiled: "The appearance is good, Jiao Niang Good bought."

Ye Jiao also smiled, sat next to Qi Yun, took the piece of purple jade hanging on his waist, put it together with this, and said, "Look back and find someone to carve into a pair. It's good to be one of us. ?"

Qi Yun nodded, smiled and kissed Ye Jiao's mouth.

In fact, the price of this purple jade is not expensive, but it is not cheap. Buying it with a gold ingot can only be said to be in the middle of the standard.

But it's hard for a daughter to buy a smile. It's better to be happy than anything.

Around, Qi Yun felt that the most important thing he lacks now is gold and silver.

But when he was thinking about it, Qi Erlang smelled a strange fragrance.

This strange fragrance, if not there, is difficult to ignore. It drifts quietly and is slightly sweet, which makes Qi Yun couldn't help but look at Ye Jiao and ask, "Is the Jiao Niang a new sachet?"

Ye Jiao blinked, subconsciously squeezed the brocade bag hanging on her waist, and touched it before she said, "No." The petals in it had been fed to the old man for life-saving purposes.

Qi Yun looked around, and then saw the wooden box on the table.

This box does not look very colorful, the wood grain is messy, the wood is sparse, and it does not look like any good wood.

But Qi Yun picked it up carefully and got closer, and he smelled the scent coming from this wooden box.

He looked at it carefully, and then said: "This is agarwood box."

Ye Jiao didn't know wood and spices, so he came over curiously: "Agarwood? Does it have fragrance."

"Well, it has some flavor, but agarwood without a fragrance is different from agarwood. This one looks sparse and has a normal texture. It should be nothing rare. On the contrary, it has a fragrance."

Speaking of the box now, Ye Jiao remembered and asked, "Miangong, do you know what buying a cassowary and returning a pearl is?"

Qi Yun replied: "I said I bought beads, but I don't need beads as long as the box is not."

"...What do you mean?"

"Say people stupid."

Ye Jiao reacted: "She said I was stupid!"

When Qi Yun heard this, she guessed that it was the girl Shen that was talking nonsense, and hurriedly turned her head and kissed the corner of her kiss Ye Jiao's mouth: "Jiao Niang is not stupid, look, this piece of jade was bought..."

Before he finished his words, Qi Yun reversed the box.

Then I saw sawdust falling from inside.

Qi Yun looked inside the box, and saw that maybe it was because the old man accidentally fell outside and broke the bottom of the box. There was a crack under the wooden box.

But the crack was there, but there was no hole through the wooden box. I thought there was a sandwich underneath.

Qi Yun took the knife used to cut fruits on the table and reached in, and lightly picked it.

"Crack!"

The agarwood planks that were sparse and cracked were easily picked up.

Then, the more intense fragrance came out.

At the bottom of the box, there was a layer of inky ink, and Ye Jiao couldn't help asking: "Manggong, what is this?"

Qi Yun didn't do it, but stared at it for a while, then carefully took a piece of it in his hand and squeezed it. After a while, he whispered: "This is agarwood, its color is like ink, its color and size It's...more expensive than gold."
