In the evening of that day, Han Bian and Zheng Xi came here in a hurry, and they were all happy when they saw Ling Qingyu. Before sitting down, they said, "Master, come and see."
Ling Qingyu sat down at the table, and saw Zheng Xi carefully put a box on the table, and when the box was opened, it immediately glowed with fluorescent jade color.
"Wow!" Ling Qingyu exclaimed unconsciously. Inside the box were all kinds of emerald objects, including bracelets, jade pendants, pendants, step rockers, a dazzling array of beauty.
"According to those craftsmen, these jades are absolutely fine jades. Look at the light transmittance and the warm feeling." Zheng Xi picked up a jade bracelet casually and said, "Only this one bracelet can be worth the price." A few hundred silver, moreover, these are only medium-quality, some high-quality raw materials, they haven't dared to do it yet."
"Good things, how many are there? Give me some, and I can make a good fortune at the end of the year." Cai Jingfang also came up and said with a smile.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I only have a few craftsmen, and it's so fast there." Zheng Xi covered the box and looked at him defensively.
"How stingy! You just give me a hundred or so pieces, and I don't want more from you." Cai Jingfang laughed.
"You can really speak, there are hundreds of pieces, you can find a craftsman to do it yourself." Zheng Xi stared.
"Don't be so stingy, or else, I'll exchange with you, the goldsmiths here are good, let's exchange varieties?" Cai Jingfang pulled Zheng Xi and smiled.
Leaving the two of them to mutter, Ling Qingyu brought a cup of tea to Han Bian, and then looked at him with a smile.
Han Bian smiled and said: "Han Bian is lucky to live up to his fate. Wuhu has already conquered a thousand hectares of depressions and swamps, and Mr. Zhang persuaded the local officials to build a polder field funded by the government. Mr. Zhang and Mr. Yang also bought two hundred yuan. In this way, the depressions and flooded areas along the Wuhu River can basically be built into polders, and the floods in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River can also be reduced." Seeing her twinkling eyes, she laughed again: " Mulberry trees will also be widely planted on their polders, and with this resource, we can vigorously develop the textile industry."
"It's so good." Ling Qingyu said to the two people who were still arguing over there: "Stop arguing, let's go eat, Xiaocai, let's go to the building outside the building."
"Okay." Cai Jingfang got up to lead the way, and then said to Zheng Xi: "Don't be so stingy, okay, at worst, I will give you a weaver, and I will take it lightly."
The predecessor of Lou Wai Lou was shut down for half a year after Yan Qi's assassination. Later, after the case cooled down, Cai Jing just went to the government to take the shop back, redecorated it, found someone and opened it. It's June, and now three months have passed, and the dishes researched by the chef on the Fengshen join in, and the business is actually booming.
"Not bad. Last month, there was already a net profit of five thousand taels of silver, and it's still rising." Cai Jingfang said triumphantly. Thanks to the assassination incident of the predecessor of this restaurant, when he got it, he sold it The money was less than half of what was expected. Judging by the current progress, we can pay back all the money this month.
In his own restaurant, Cai Jingfang naturally ordered someone to reserve the best seat.
In addition to the two-story main building outside the building, there are also some small buildings facing the lake, all of which are very elegant single rooms, and there are also single buildings with a single box.
After getting off the carriage, I saw a group of people piled up at the door of the building outside the building, and the sound of fierce quarreling came over.
Cai Jingfang took a few steps to check the situation, and Ling Qingyu and the others were a few steps behind.
"I'll kill you." A roar was heard, followed by the sound of a weapon unsheathed.
Ling Qingyu heard his voice very familiar, so he walked a few steps quickly, and sure enough, he saw a few tall foreigners standing outside the door, with shiny scimitars in their hands, and Cai Jingfang was persuading him with a white face.
"Lam?" Ling Qingyu yelled, rushed forward to hold down Lamu's hand, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Ram's blue eyes were already blood red, Ling Qingyu had never seen him like this, and his body could not help trembling with anger.
"The head of the house." Lahm closed his eyes, suppressed the blood churning in his chest, and said slowly, "It's okay."
"You bastard! Black-skinned ghost! You still want to kill the young master? This is not your lowly nest, if you don't let the young master go back, it will be disgusting!"
Ling Qingyu turned his head sharply, and across the way a child in brocade clothes was jumping and scolding Huan. Ling Qingyu let go of Ram, and stepped forward. Before the child and the servants beside him could react, Ling Qingyu slapped him across the face. It was slapped hard on his face that could be broken by bullets.
The noisy door suddenly fell silent, and before the child could react, Ling Qingyu grabbed him, walked inside, and said to Cai Jingfang, "Bring me in, my own."
The child's servants turned around and wanted to shout out, but Yan San directly tapped the acupuncture points, and then followed them in with one hand.
"It's okay, it's okay." Cai Jingfang asked the waiter to appease the guest, and then said to Ram: "Please follow me."
Everything happened so quickly that before the people around could react, Ling Qingyu had already taken them away.
"Tsk." A young gentleman who had been standing beside him covered half of his face with a fan, and said to the boy next to him, "Go, let's say that the people from the building outside have kidnapped the young master of the Xiao family."
"You dare to hit me! I'm going to destroy your clan!" The child shouted as soon as he let go of his hand covering his mouth.
"If you keep screaming, I'll throw you into the West Lake. I heard that Mr. Xu just dredged the silt in the West Lake, and the water is just deep enough to drown you." Ling Qingyu said darkly.
"How dare you! I'll tell Brother Murong to kill you!" The child trembled, and shouted again, scratching his neck.
"Then before your brother Murong kills me, I'll kill you first." Ling Qingyu picked up his collar, pushed open the window, and carried it out of the window.
The child's face turned pale, his voice trembled, and he still said firmly, "You think I'm afraid of you." Ling Qingyu felt his hand loosen, and his body slid down. The water below was sparkling, reflecting the glittering moonlight , the child finally couldn't help crying: "Don't lose me!"
"Are you still scolding?"
"Stop scolding."
Ling Qingyu carried him back, and said to Cai Jingfang who had just entered the door: "Go to Xiao Rong and ask him to come and pick him up."
"You are that idiot woman!" The child pointed at her as soon as he landed.
"Want to get another slap here?" Ling Qingyu gritted his teeth at him and narrowed his eyes.
The child immediately covered half of his face where five finger prints were exposed, his big eyes gleamed with water, but he tried his best not to let them flow down.
"Don't act like I'm bullying you, Lahm, tell me." Ling Qingyu pulled up a stool and sat down, and said to Lahm.
The last time I came to Hangzhou, because there was a lot of cargo on board, Lamu and the others never disembarked, and they all kept watch on the boat. I wanted to come in for dinner, but before I even got in, I was bumped into by this kid. After bumping into him, I started to yell at him, whatever was bad. The other people’s big words were not good, but Lahm’s was good. I didn’t want to Arguing with a child and not wanting to cause trouble for Ling Qingyu, Lahm and the others wanted to leave, but they were blocked again, and then the child became even more rampant, even talking dirty with the people around him. .
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have bothered with a child." Ram bowed his head. Looking at it like this, the head of the family recognizes this child, and the child's background is not young, and Ram suddenly broke out in cold sweat. If he really couldn't help but make a move just now, I don't know how much trouble the head of the family will be. Please come out.
Ling Qingyu turned his head and stared at Xiao Se, yes, that brat from the Xiao family, and asked, "What did you scold him for?"
Xiao Se took a step back and said in a low voice: "It's not me who said it, it was Brother Murong who said that when they look like this, it must be the ghosts outside the show who came to harm people and eat children. Brother Murong said they were born without mothers , is an evil spirit emerging from the ground, isn’t it an evil spirit! He wants to kill me with a knife!”
"If people say you're a bastard, you were born without father or mother..." Before Ling Qingyu finished speaking, the child rushed forward with a hideous expression on his face. Ling Qingyu raised his foot to his stomach and looked at his hand. Scratching around, he said: "Look, I just said a word, and you wanted to kill me. You just scolded him for so long, but he didn't really do anything. You kid, you have to be lucky, you met a Good man, if it's someone else, you don't have enough lives, just rely on you two simple servants?" Motioning Yan San to let go of the two servants, Ling Qingyu smiled and said: "When I beat you just now, they were helpful. You block?"
The calves of the two boys trembled, suffering from unresolved acupoints, and unable to speak or move, they could only look at Xiao Se with pitiful eyes.
Xiao Se was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it again, he came back to his senses and shouted: "You are talking nonsense, my elder brother Murong would not have such sinister thoughts, it is you, a wicked woman! It is you!"
"The head of the family." Cai Jingfang walked in hastily, and said: "People from the yamen came, saying that someone reported to the officials, someone made trouble, and even arrested the young master of the Xiao family."
"Let me go quickly, you wicked woman, I told you that Brother Murong will never let you go!" Xiao Se yelled triumphantly.
"Who is taking the lead?" Ling Qingyu frowned and asked.
"Master Zheng Jinzheng, it happens that he is still working in the yamen. He heard that something happened in the building outside the building, so he came in person." Cai Jingfang said, because it was Zheng Jin, and everyone was on the same boat, the yamen servants didn't rush in directly. , but come in through the side door, and then drink tea in the lounge.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding..." Xiao Rong's panting voice came from outside the door, and when the door opened, Xiao Rong and Zheng Jin walked in together.
"Look, this gentleman is the merchant from the Zhuluo Kingdom that our Xiao family cooperated with this time. My young master has never seen a Zhuluo person, so he came to visit in advance without telling me. We had made an appointment to have dinner outside the building. Absolutely There is no conflict, maybe the reporter made a mistake." Xiao Rong said with a smile.
"That's right, just ask the diners and the guys. Nothing really happened just now." Cai Jingfang immediately followed and said.
"Little Xiao Se, are we having conflicts?" Ling Qingyu lowered his head and smiled at Xiao Se.
That smile was so insidious, and when he saw Xiao Rong's eyes were very sharp, Xiao Se's heart skipped a beat, and he said: "Master, I was just playing around with this wicked woman, who said I was arrested! "
"Hehe, so that's the case, the reporter is really messing around, so I won't bother you, I'll take my leave first." Blinking at Ling Qingyu, and then glancing at the bright red slap marks on Xiao Se's fair and tender cheeks, Zheng Jin left in a good mood. This stinky kid scolded anyone he caught because of his family background. He was scolded by him once in the yamen, and he actually said that he was a villain! He, Zheng Jin, is also a man of five feet!
After the people left, the door was closed, Xiao Rong cupped his hands to Ling Qingyu and said: "The master is sorry."
"Take these two people and deal with them." Ling Qingyu pointed to the two boys and said.
Xiao Rong called someone in and forced the two out, and explained in a low voice outside.
"My lord, didn't this old slave tell you not to come out with Master Murong?" After entering again, Xiao Rong sighed, squatted in front of Xiao Se, touched his swollen cheek, and said.
"Daddy can't get up, and you are busy, so only Brother Murong will play with me." Xiao Se lowered his head and said in a low voice.
"Yes, I want to play with you to death." Ling Qingyu said coldly.
"Master Ling." Xiao Rong shouted helplessly.
"He's seven years old, right? If you don't tell him anything, are you sure you can protect him?" Ling Qingyu's voice was still a little cold. In fact, this was the simplest trap. Brother Murong probably didn't think about it, but it just happened to happen. When I saw Ram and the others at the door, I used them. When I passed by, I did some tricks to push Xiao Se over. Fan people, especially Arabs, are very irritable. Knowing how to draw a sword, Xiao Se only brought two unreliable servants with him, even if he was killed, the unlucky one would be the one who did it, Mr. Murong didn't do anything. It's a pity that it was Ram he met. It's just that Ram has been scolded by others, but he can hold back, probably because he is afraid of hurting me. Thinking about it, Ling Qingyu gently shook Ram's hand.
Originally, when Cai Jingfang said that the people from the yamen came, Lamu was thinking that when the people from the yamen came in, he would say that it was all his fault, and then commit suicide on the spot. When it came to Ling Qingyu, and then turned around, looking at the handprints on the kid's face, and then being held in such a way, Lahm felt his heart was about to jump out.
"Hey." Xiao Rong sighed, he doesn't know the danger, the Xiao family's wealth is beyond the imagination of outsiders, and now the owner is sick in bed, it seems that it will die soon, the Xiao family's direct line is now a single seedling, not to mention those There are many outsiders who have relatives and relatives, that is, those from the Xiao family branch. It's just that he is just a servant after all, so what can he do
"Uncle Rong?" Seeing Xiao Rong's eyes were slightly red, Xiao Se comforted him and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Rong, I don't feel any pain, Master."
"Master Ling, Xiao Rong and Young Master will leave first. Thank you, Master Ling, for today's matter." Xiao Rong said, Xiao Se grew up being held in the palm of his hand and never touched a single finger, but today, Ruo Ruo If it wasn't for Ling Qingyu's slap, those fanatics would probably kill someone, and it could be regarded as saving Xiao Se's life. (Shopkeeper Xiao Rong, you misunderstood, Master Ling wanted to beat your young master long ago!)
"Shopkeeper Xiao, don't say that, you have helped me a lot, and I owe you a favor." Seeing Xiao Se's face getting more and more swollen, Ling Qingyu finally had a conscience, asked Yan San to take out a small bottle of medicine, and said to Xiao Se: "Come on, This is for you, after you go back and wipe it on, your face will be fine."
"How do you know it's good to rub it on?" Xiao Se looked at the medicine bottle with some disgust.
"Of course I know, I just wipe it off." Ling Qingyu said patiently. Sailing near the equator, the skin has to be tested. Ling Qingyu's skin is not very good, often red and swollen. Shi conveniently made this ointment, which is very effective. It even changed her original skin texture.
"You are so thick-skinned that any medicine is useful, young master, I..." Before Xiao Se finished speaking, Xiao Rong took the medicine bottle and hugged him and ran away.
This dead child! Ling Qingyu was so angry that his face turned red. Seeing Yan San and the others holding back their laughter, he said angrily: "What's so funny, I'm just thick-skinned, old lady! You bite me!"
Because there were a few more Lamu people, Cai Jing conveniently ordered an extra table to be opened.
