Xiu Niang called Qi Ning "Master", which made Qi Ning's heart skip a beat. At this time, when she saw this little beauty kneeling obediently at her feet, she felt a strange feeling in her body. Xiu Niang did not let Xiu Niang He stood up, leaned closer and asked softly: "Are you really going to be obedient to me from now on?"
Xiu Niang looked up at Qi Ning with a determined expression: "This life of slave is a reward from the master, and I will definitely use this life to serve the master."
Qi Ning laughed and said softly: "If you are really loyal to the master, the master will not treat you badly. But if you are playing tricks with the master, not only you will be unlucky in the end, but even Linghu Xu will be unlucky with you." of."
Xiu Niang did not speak.
Qining thought that Xiu Niang had just said that she would cut off all previous relationships, and when he mentioned Linghu Xu, she naturally had no reaction and said softly: "In that case, you can go to the Buddhist hall to take care of the lady. Remember. Stay here, without my instructions, except for the third lady and Bingqiao who delivered the food, if anyone else approaches, you must immediately stop them."
Xiu Niang said: "I will obey my master's order." She stood up, turned around and was about to leave, but Qining said: "Wait a moment!"
Xiu Niang turned around and stood respectfully in front of Qi Ning. Qi Ning looked at her and asked, "You just said you can do what a woman should do for me. I haven't understood it yet. What does that mean?" ?”
Xiu Niang lowered her head, her cheeks were slightly red, and she hesitated for a moment before asking: "Master... do you need it now?"
"I just want to know what a woman should do." Qining calmly said.
Xiu Niang bit her lip and finally went over to close the window. Then she walked to Qi Ning. After a moment of hesitation, she reached out to unbutton Qi Ning's clothes. Qi Ning raised her hand to stop her and said with a smile: "What you said a woman should do, Is that all?"
Xiu Niang's cheeks turned red and she whispered: "Master, slave... I am still innocent, and I have not...!"
"Then keep your innocence first." Qi Ning smiled and said: "If one day you really make great contributions to me, I can give you a reward." He leaned into Xiu Niang's ear and whispered softly: "Let you Be a real woman.”
A look of embarrassment appeared on Xiu Niang's face, and Qin Ning said, "You can step back first and take good care of the Madam."
Xiu Niang bowed respectfully, turned around and retreated. Looking at Xiu Niang's leaving figure, Qining sighed.
This is a delicacy that is close to the mouth. He can eat it by just opening his mouth. However, the time is not right now, and Qining still has to observe whether Xiu Niang is truly loyal to him. After all, Xiu Niang has sworn allegiance to him. It was really a bit unexpected, Qining really couldn't tell whether it was sincere or fake.
Qi Ning went to Qi Feng again. Qi Feng's wrist bones were crushed last night, and the pain was excruciating. Last night was unbearable. Li Tang, who had been taking care of him, couldn't bear to watch anymore, so he had the courage to let the maid go. Tang Nuo asked for some painkillers, originally just to relieve Qi Feng's pain, but after Tang Nuo asked about the situation, he gave Qi Feng medicine to treat bone injuries overnight.
Qi Feng got Tang Nuo's healing medicine. Over the past few hours, the pain had already eased. According to Tang Nuo's instructions, as long as he rested for about ten days, his wrist bones would return to normal.
What Qi Feng is most worried about is that the broken wrist bone will leave sequelae, which will have a great impact on his skills in the future. He is now the commander of the guards of the Hou Mansion. If his skills are not as good as before, it will inevitably make the guards under him dissatisfied. After learning After using Tang Nuo's healing medicine, his wrist bones returned to normal. Naturally, he was overjoyed and felt even more grateful to Tang Nuo.
Qi Ning killed Niu Tou last night. Fortunately, Qi Feng led his men to help with crossbows. His subordinates had merit. Qi Ning was naturally generous. Not only did he comfort him, but he also privately rewarded the three men who helped last night with three hundred taels of silver. people.
Qi Ning had promised not to reveal what happened last night to the public, so very few people in the government knew that Qi Feng was injured, and even those who knew it only thought it was Qi Feng's sprain while practicing martial arts.
Li Tang did not patrol last night and did not see what happened in the Buddhist hall, but he knew something was fishy. However, since Qi Feng didn't say anything, he didn't ask any more questions. The Hou family is as deep as the sea. Many things in this kind of aristocratic family can't be solved. The less you know, the better.
Qi Ning originally arranged for Qi Feng to investigate Zhuo Xian'er's affairs. Zhuo Xian'er suddenly disappeared, which made Qi Ning worried. But Qi Feng was like this. Of course, he couldn't find Zhuo Xian'er, but he knew that Zhuo Xian'er The whereabouts of Zhuo Xian'er were unknown, so Qi Ning naturally couldn't ignore it. Fortunately, Li Tang was a considerate person, so he asked Li Tang to be responsible for finding Zhuo Xian'er's whereabouts. As soon as there was news, he would report it immediately.
After dark, Qining abided by the agreement with Mrs. Tian and went directly to Tian's house.
He is already familiar with the Tian family, and everyone in the Tian family also knows that now the Tian family medicine shop is in Feng Shui, and the business is getting bigger and smoother. In the final analysis, it is because he climbed the big tree of Jinyihou and has Jinyi With the support of the Qi family, it would be difficult for the Tian family medicine store not to make a fortune.
The Madam invited the young Marquis to come over for dinner occasionally, and everyone didn't think much about it. They just thought that the Madam wanted to strengthen the relationship with the Jinyi Qi family, so they showed her kindness to the Young Marquis.
Clinging to powerful people is a way for many businessmen to gain a foothold. No one thinks there is anything wrong with Madam doing this. After all, there are nearly a hundred people inside and outside the Tian Family Medicine Store, and these people all rely on the medicine store for their meals. If It is naturally a dream to be protected by the big tree of Jinyi Qijia.
When Qi Ning arrived at Tian's house, the old housekeeper led Qi Ning to the back garden. Qi Ning felt even more strange, secretly wondering if this beautiful woman had really figured something out.
Arriving in front of the archway in the back garden, the old housekeeper said respectfully: "Master Marquis, Madam has prepared wine and food in the piano room. Madam said that Master Marquis likes to be quiet, so I won't send him in."
Qining nodded slightly and entered the back garden. He walked through the rockery flowers very familiarly and saw the piano room next to the pond in the distance. The lights were on in the bedroom. Qining walked over in a familiar way. When he got to the door, he saw the door of the piano room. He kept his cover, hesitated, and then knocked lightly on the door.
Soon, the door of the house creaked open. Tian Xuerong, who was dressed in purple, opened the door. Seeing Qi Ning, she smiled and said: "Master Marquis, please come in quickly!" He opened the door and stepped aside, Qi Ning Smiling slightly, she entered the piano room with her hands behind her back. Mrs. Tian hesitated and closed the door gently.
Qining caught a glimpse of a small square table in the room, with melons, fruits, wine and dishes on it. It was unknown how it tasted, but the style was indeed exquisite. This beautiful woman had obviously put a lot of thought into it. Tian Xuerong closed the door and had already twisted her waist to leave. He came up from behind and said with a smile: "Master Hou, it's hot. I've made a few cold dishes, but I don't know if they suit Master Hou's taste."
Qi Ning smiled and said, "I thought Madam invited me here to entertain you with big fish and meat."
The beautiful woman glanced at Qin Ning, her eyes were wandering, her charm was charming, and she said: "Master Hou is rich and noble, and he has fine clothes and fine food every day. I am afraid that he will be tired of eating big fish and meat, so I thought of giving him Lord Marquis, let’s change the taste. If Lord Marquis doesn’t like it, I’ll go and cook big fish and meat for you now.”
Qi Ning saw the beautiful woman smiling but not smiling, and her eyes were wandering, and he felt that she was really soft and charming.
"The guest is welcome to the host." Qi Ning shrugged: "We are all ready, so don't bother us anymore." He sat cross-legged on the futon beside the square table, raised his hand and said, "Madam, please sit down too."
Mrs. Tian smiled sweetly and sat down opposite Qi Ning. Qi Ning asked: "How is your eye condition now? Is it much better?"
Mrs. Tian showed her gratitude and said: "Miss Tang's magical rejuvenation is the Living Bodhisattva. Fu'er is much better now and can see things clearly. Miss Tang said that in another three to two months, Fu'er's eye disease will be cured." "After a pause, he said: "Actually... In fact, I have always been very grateful to Mr. Hou. If it hadn't been for Mr. Hou's help, I'm afraid...!"
Qi Ning waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't say thank you. What is the relationship between me and my wife? If you say thank you again, it will be revealed."
Mrs. Tian blushed and thought about what relationship I have with you. At least we are not close enough to say thank you. But how dare you say these words? She stretched out her white jade arms, picked up the wine bottle, and leaned forward. , poured wine into Qining's wine glass, Qining picked up the wine glass and said: "Madam has been busy so far, I will do it first as a token of respect!" Just as he was about to drink, Mrs. Tian's face changed slightly and she said anxiously: "Master Hou...!"
Qi Ning was startled. Seeing that Mrs. Tian's face was unnatural, she became suspicious. She put down her wine glass and asked, "What's wrong, madam? Are you feeling unwell?"
"I...!" Mrs. Tian forced a smile, glanced at Qining's wine glass, and finally said: "Master Hou, I... I may go to the East China Sea next month."
"East China Sea?"
"Master Marquis still remembers that among the prescriptions given by Miss Tang, there is a prescription for treating intestinal dysentery." Mrs. Tian said: "There are many people suffering from intestinal dysentery in the south, especially over the East China Sea, so...!"
"Oh, I remembered. Madam seemed to have said that she was planning to build a pharmacy in the East China Sea and produce medicines directly there." Qining smiled and said, "This is a good thing. Are there any difficulties?"
"I sent people there, but the East China Sea has its own chamber of commerce. The people I sent came back and said that the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce insisted that I go and talk to them in person." Mrs. Tian sighed softly: "Otherwise, the workshop will not be able to start work. I I also understand what they mean. They just want to talk to me about bonuses. After I finish the things at hand, I will go there next month to see what they mean. If it is too much...!"
"Madam, do you want me to come forward?" Qi Ning frowned slightly. Although he was willing to help Madam Tian within his ability without violating his principles, the matter involved the Chamber of Commerce. If he, as a court official, was openly involved, it seemed that Not quite appropriate.
"No, no, no!" Mrs. Tian waved her hands hurriedly and said: "Master Hou must not come forward in this matter. Businessmen have business rules. If... If Master Hou comes forward, even if they really dare not embarrass me, but... But in the future They will definitely do something secretly, and... And all the chambers of commerce will say that Tianjia Medicine Store is...!" But he did not continue.
Qi Ning nodded slightly, understanding what Mrs. Tian meant, thinking that you, a woman, are quite sensible.
He knows that every line has its own rules of the game, and the same is true for businessmen. If Tian Xuerong breaks the rules of the game with the help of power, it will be difficult to survive in the business world in the future.
"As long as the conditions are reasonable, you can talk to them." Qining smiled and said: "If it's too much, you can talk to me later and I will find a way for you." He picked up the wine glass and said: "Come on, Madam , I borrow flowers to offer to Buddha, and with this glass of wine I wish you a safe journey next month and bring back good news."
Tian Xuerong said hurriedly: "Master Hou, you...!"
"What's wrong, madam?" Qi Ning had realized something at this time, and calmly asked, holding the wine glass: "Is there something unspeakable, madam?"
Tian Xuerong bit her lips and said softly: "Master Hou... Master Hou, can you come here... come and give me a hug!"
