Return of the Swallow

"The big shopkeeper should not laugh at me. I don't know much about it, and there are only a few quicker ways to make money that I can think of. If it weren't for the big shopkeeper's outstanding ability, how could it be useful to have only one idea."

With the light blue nagza wide sleeves in one hand, Qin Yining poured the green tea soup into the carp and lotus tea cup, and then gave it to the shopkeeper Zhong.

The shopkeeper Zhong took it with his flattered hands, and repeated his thanks.

Qin Yining smiled, picked up the cat's fan and shook it twice. The hair hanging from the temples was naughtyly attached to her pink cheeks, and she was casually pinned behind her ears.

"After all, the properties of our Zhaoyun Division are all remembered by the royal family. The emperor and the queen acted out of order, and after several inquiries, I can now conclude that the emperor really meant to plunder Zhaoyun Division. So happy to ruin the Dingguo Gongfu, and there is no reason why the emperor wanted to include Zhaoyunji’s money in his own money, but because of the face, my father’s identity and the previous rumors, the emperor is not very active now Yes, but I don’t think he will extinguish his thoughts. While the situation is still stable during this time, let’s make money quickly."

The shopkeeper Zhong heard the song and knew the elegance, and immediately nodded and said: "I understand what the owner means. Don't worry, the extra money we earn will be flattened in Zhaoyun's accounts. No one will find any money. We have made a lot of profit by using short-term large-scale borrowings, and when we spread it around, it is called peer hatred. These things have to be kept secret."

"That's good." Qin Yining smiled, shook the fan without a moment, looked over the half-open window lattice, and looked at the little girls who hadn't kept their heads sitting on the steps on the opposite veranda and were playing "catch the son".

The innocent and cheerful laughs of the girls were very contagious, and the smiles on her face could not help but deepen.

"When I was young, my adoptive mother coaxed me to play with this, taking a few apricot cores, sewing a small sandbag, grabbing one for the first time, two for the second, and three for the third... After a handful, I threw up all the apricot kernels and picked them up with the back of my hand. At that time, I had a small hand and I didn’t always pick up as many adoptive mothers as my adoptive mothers. She has already gone before she grows up."

The treasurer Zhong sighed, "The owner's adoptive mother must be a very gentle and kind person."

"Yes, she is a very good person, but the life of a good person in this world is always bitter. There are so many people who were born in troubled times and have been displaced, but you see, even when the Great Zhou soldiers approached the city, the city of Kyoto was not still drunk.

"The emperor is faint and mediocre, and he has no other ability. He is a good hand at crueling Zhongliang. He can't see the outsiders who don’t make a living, but he stares at which courtier robbed him of the limelight. With such an emperor, corrupt officials are also confident and bold. Nonsense."

Qin Yining shook his head and said, "Don't look at it as peaceful now, but the peace talks are successful, and only the prosperity and wealth of some people are preserved. The people should suffer or suffer."

When the treasurer Zhong Da heard this, he couldn't help sighing.

He was knowledgeable and experienced. Although he didn't really live the hard life himself like Qin Yining, it was true that he was hungry and hungry in remote towns after years of battle.In addition, there is very little rain after the summer this year, signs of drought have appeared in many places, and people's lives have become even more difficult.

"It's a pity that my ability is meager." Qin Yining shook his head and laughed: "Now I don't have the ability to'consolidate the world'. Sometimes I even want God to open my eyes and quickly put the Faint King and the Demon Empress away."

"Ah! Isn't it? I hope that Junjun will be resuscitated, rather than expect him to be born sooner! It is estimated that the common people outside also think so, but we should not say this outside, or be careful, Qianer Three storytellers have been arrested, stupefied that what they said was offensive."

"It is not allowed to say that the emperor wants the people to be fools." Qin Yining shook his head and sighed: "I have sent it to you today, so I'm talking about you. Now it's better to take advantage of the time. , Let’s make a fortune, no matter what we do in the future, we can have some capital, so we don’t have to be stretched."

"The boss just don't worry. I don't have any other abilities. I still have these brains."

Qin Yining nodded and stood up and said, "I can certainly trust the big shopkeeper's ability. While it is still early, I plan to go for a stroll outside the city."

"I will send you."

"Please stay."

...

Qin Yining and the shopkeeper Zhong were polite, and left Zhong's house farewell, and went outside the gate, served by Jiyun wearing a white veil hat.

Bingtang had already been waiting at the door with the bay red horse that Huzi had sent her for a long time, and the "Baiyun" tied by the side saw Qin Yining coming out, immediately raised his neck and snorted.

Qin Yining chuckled softly, stepped forward to untie the reins of "Baiyun", stroked the smooth silver-white mane on its neck, and smiled: "Waiting in a hurry?"

"Bai Yun" rubbed her cheek affectionately.

Jiyun smiled and brought her yellow horse, "The girl is gentler to a horse than our prince. If the prince sees it, he may not be jealous. The next time the girl sees the prince, she will give more smiles."

Qin Yining's face blushed, and said: "You girl, isn't it because Pang Zhixi specially arranged for you to come and chat with me all day."

Jiyun chuckled: "The girl clearly misses the prince too, and I don’t blame me for nagging. Since you have that red bean bracelet, you haven’t worn the bracelet or bracelet beside you. You also hold Erbai all day at home. The plum blossom Luozi who went to wash Erbai himself did not miss the prince?"

"Bad girl, I'll rush you back, and I won't take you for a horse walk." Qin Yining blushed at her.

Bingtang and Jiyun winked their eyebrows, and both laughed.

Qin Yining lightly turned over and jumped on his horse back, "Let's go outside the city for a while and then return to the house. The old lady wants to settle the corruption of the comprador under the kitchen, and it was a while of upset when I went back early."

Mrs. Liu, a comprador in the large kitchen, was shoddy and secretly moved the rice from the house to the house. That day, she was caught by Jixiang beside the old lady and returned to the old lady.

When the old lady heard about it, he immediately yelled and took the Sun family, the second wife, and the third wife to settle the affairs of the mansion for three consecutive days. Not only did she arrest Mrs. Liu, but also turned up many bad things about the sesame seeds. Qin Yining watched at home for two days , I felt a headache and had to hide today.

"What if the old lady asks? Qian'er old lady also said that you are not allowed to ride a horse because you don't think you are like a lady." Although Jiyun said so, he jumped on the yellow horse very neatly.

Qin Yining lifted the veil on the veil and smiled, "Everything depends on what others say, so we don’t have to live. There are already many people who say that I’m not behind them, and that’s how bad they are. , I should have hanged on my neck long ago. They are accustomed to seeing me and then watching, they can not see, they can live their own lives, who cares who suffers."

Jiyun chuckled and urged to come right away, and accompanied Qin Yining to the left and right with Bingtang, choosing a secluded road to go outside the city.

After leaving the outer city of Kyoto, there is a bright scenery in front of you. The blue sky is as blue as washes, and the green grass is lush. Although the weather is sultry, all three of them wore hoods to shade their heads. The white gauze on the drapery and the gauze dress on the body blow and fly, and there is an unspeakable sense of coolness and refreshment.

The three masters and servants ran wildly along a tree-lined path beside the official road for a while before getting off their horses to take a rest, leading the horses to search for water.

There has been little rain this year, and several streams have dried up, leaving only a shallow layer of mud and hot stones in the original stream.After walking on the stone for a while, I found a spring where gurgling spring water emerged.

Qin Yining, Bingtang and Jiyun filled the water sac with water first, and then asked the three horses to drink.

The three stood still in the shade of the trees, looking at the golden and dazzling official road not far away.

Bingtang can't help but sighed with worry: "It's not good for such a drought to go on. The harvest on Zhuangzi will be affected."

"It's not just Zhuangzi. I heard that many places outside are now dry. If this continues, I'm afraid there will be a drought."

Qin Yining took another sip of water and went forward to hang the water bag on the saddle.

But Jiyun slowly put down the water bag, lifted the white gauze on the drapery, and jumped onto a big tree with a slight leap, and he set up a pergola and looked towards the official road.

Qin Yining wondered: "What's wrong?"

Jiyun slightly raised his left hand to silence them.

Qin Yining and Bingtang immediately felt that something was wrong. Standing under the big tree, they followed Jiyun's gaze. From a distance, they seemed to see some smoke and dust on the road far away.

"Many people! Girl, many, many people are coming over here!"

Qin Yining's heart jumped, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and take a closer look. Who is it? Is it the army or the civilian? Did you ride a horse?"

As Qin Yining spoke, she stretched her neck to look carefully. However, the terrain was low-lying and her sight was blocked. It took a long while to see a piece of smoke growing.

"It shouldn't be a soldier, it's not when you look at the clothes... Girl, let's hide it soon, they ran over in a moment."

Jiyun jumped off the tree and pulled Qin Yining back to hide.

Bingtang also quickly led the horse, following behind.

The three of them carefully hid the horse, then returned some more, crouching in the bushes and then secretly looking out.

At this time, the group of people had come to the front, look carefully, this turned out to be a large group of people in a panic!

A team of more than a thousand people, including men and women, old and young, each carrying a bag, messy hair, dirty clothes, panicked, and helping each other to rush toward Kyoto in a panic, all tired Out of breath, still pale and refused to stop.

An old man ran slowly and fell to the ground. Before his children could be supported, they were stepped on several feet by those who rushed over.

There are also children who ran away crying loudly with their parents.

Such a panic and chaotic scene is like a ghost chasing behind!

Qin Yining turned around with a pale face, sat down on the ground, buzzing in his head, and muttered: "This is...Is Da Zhou calling here again? Pang Zhixi...Isn't there a peace talk? Now, the final assassination of the Tatar was not only a gift for my father and me, but also an excuse for him to go to war!"
