When Young Master Wan and Shopkeeper Qiu arrived on the first floor, there was a lot of people in the lobby. The guests exchanged cups and glanced at the person they had just talked to with them, which showed that the Lu family acted cautiously.
The two also hurriedly left, rushing back to prepare the money.
Outside the restaurant, Hu Zi stretched his neck to see people walking away, then turned back into the building and went to a private room on the second floor.
"Master, they're gone."
"Yeah." Pang Xiao grabbed a handful of peanuts and threw them one by one to chew. "Their statement is almost the same as my nonsense, so I prevaricate with the statement of Young Master Lu that day. In the end, five million yuan was set. Two silver, I asked them to send it to the Guangqing Grain Store to the shopkeeper Zhao Da."
Qin Yining was eating tea with a tea bowl in his hand, when he heard the words, he paused, "Guangqing County?"
"Yes, didn't the first Qingtian League tell you that they opened a grain store in Guangqing County? The grain store is newly opened, and its foundation is still shallow. I have been thinking about it. If I choose a position to take over the money, I can only sacrifice one place. , I'm afraid they will have to trouble them to reopen the site this time."
When the Qiu family sent the silver, it was bound to be discovered later that the imperial envoy was wrong, and I was afraid that they would find them.
Qin Yining thought for a while and said, "Since that's the case, I'll explain it to them, but I don't have Jingzhe by my side, so I'll write a letter and send it to someone you can trust."
Pang Xiao nodded, "You can deal with the silver."
Qin Yining was stunned for a moment, and then he understood that Pang Xiao was afraid that she would let the food store, which had been opened so easily by the members of the alliance, prepare for the closing of its doors. volume to compensate for grain row losses.
"It's worthy to compensate them. But it doesn't have to come out of it. The money is huge, so you can survive, and it can be used as military salaries. To support soldiers and horses, people eat horses, where is the money for big things and small things? If you can find big money Yan's treasure..."
In the past, Qin Yining had ideas about treasures, but he was not persistent. He just felt that the treasures could not be put into Li Qitian's hands. But after so much experience, seeing Li Qitian's attitude towards them, Qin Yining had long held no hope of living an ordinary life. Of course, the safest thing is to hold the treasure in his own hands.
Pang Xiao was also silent for a moment. Thinking of the brothers who had the same aspirations in the early days, and now they are in such a situation, it is incomprehensible to ordinary people. But in the blink of an eye, the heavy negative emotions were suppressed by him. Facing Qin Yining, she only showed her face.
"Okay, our business is going well, and we will wait for the news."
Qin Yining nodded with a smile, ordered someone to fetch a pen and paper, the book was a secret letter, and used the unique origami method and seal of the Qingtian Alliance when writing letters, and finally handed it to Pang Xiao.
Pang Xiao immediately asked Hu Zi to arrange the right person to deliver the letter.
"It's time for us to go back after being away for so long."
Pang Xiao put his arms around Qin Yining's shoulders, hugged her out of the house, got on the carriage, and returned to the Lujia Guest House.
Just after sitting down for a while, Lu Xi came.
"Master Wan is back. He just came here when he was young, but you are not here."
"Oh, today is my beautiful girl's birthday. This young master has made a big splash at the Dingsheng Restaurant. Hey, why didn't I see you for dinner?"
Will he care about a meal
The corner of Lu Xi's mouth twitched, and he said, "Thank you, Master Wan, for your kindness. The villain still has to wait by my eldest young master's side. I really can't go away." Thinking of the eldest young master's thoughts towards this lady Ning, he added, " The villain wishes Madam Ning a long life and good health."
"Thank you." Qin Yining smiled casually, with red lips and white teeth, bright eyes favored.
Lu Xi couldn't help thinking to himself, if the eldest young master saw this appearance, maybe the mind that had just calmed down would be rekindled.
"Master Wan, my young master will be entertaining guests in the front hall later, and the two of you are invited to come with me."
again
Pang Xiao and Qin Yining have gone to audit a lot of the Lu family's business these days. Master Lu sometimes regards them as friends of his entourage, and sometimes he only asks them to sit behind the screen.
Anyway, whether to let them show up or not, there is only one purpose, and that is to show the greatness of the Lu family's business.
I thought it was enough to show off for so many days, but I didn't expect to continue
Seeing the expression of "Master Wan", Lu Xi felt a little helpless.
According to him, everything is best when it's on point. The master thought so too. It's just Mrs. Ning's birthday, Young Master Wan is so ostentatious, but he is so arrogant when he packs a running water seat, making people feel that the beatings these days are in vain.
The eldest young master just wanted to let Madam Ning see his strength, and let this scumbag Young Master Wan see the gap between them, but this kind of stab, not only did the slapstick fail to see it, but Madam Ning was still indifferent, not as expected at all. Like actively throwing a hug.
The more she is like this, the heavier the eldest young master has for her.
Lu Xi smiled and said, "Master Wan, Madam Ning, please."
Qin Yining pretended to be unhappy and said, "I've been busy for a long time today, and I'm very tired at the moment, and I really don't want to go. Besides, I don't know how to go about business as a woman..."
"The eldest young master said it was you two." Lu Xi hurriedly said.
Just kidding, the young master didn't see anyone for a few days, so he thought about it again. Even if Young Master Wan doesn't go, Mrs. Ning can't help it either.
Pang Xiao sneered, Lu Zheng's thoughtful thoughts were well known to him, but now that the plan is at a critical juncture, and Lu Zheng can't do anything in a hurry, he can endure it, otherwise he would have lost the eyes of that unknown thing. Dig out!
"Let's go."
Pang Xiao hugged Qin Yining, "Beauty is tired, and you can rest when you go over there and sit for a while. Young Master Lu is very kind, we can't brush his good intentions."
Qin Yining pouted and said softly, "Okay. Just listen to the Lord."
Pang Xiao's muscles and bones were tensed by her soft voice, and his arms around her tightened a little.
All the way to the front hall, Pang Xiao was familiar with the door and went straight in, cupped his hands and smiled: "Young Master Lu is really hospitable."
Lu Zheng sat in the first place to taste tea, and when he heard Pang Xiao's voice, he felt upset. The tea that was full of fragrant taste lost its taste, only bitterness remained.
"Master Wan is an honored guest in a humble home, and I will do the best for you as a landlord." Standing up, Lu Zheng looked at Qin Yining and said with a smile, "I heard that today is Lady Ning's birthday? I will prepare a small gift next time, and I hope that Lady Ning can accept it. ."
As he spoke, the maid held up the delicate brocade box, which was exactly the set of emerald heads that Qin Yining had rejected.
Lu Zheng only stared at the person in front of him, and when she sent her off before, she said that she would not be rewarded without merit. He thought about it later, there was no reason for it, and it was really not good for her to take his things casually. Today just happened to have a reason, where can there be a beauty who does not love jewelry
Pang Xiao had a smile on his face, but his eyes seemed to be frosty.
Qin Yining saw that Pang Xiaoyin was on the verge of bursting into anger, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Young Master Lu. It's just that slaves are not lacking in these things. Master Wan has given them a lot. Besides, slaves only want to wear jewelry from their own men."
Pang Xiao lowered his eyes, his hands that had been clenched into fists slowly relaxed.
Lu Zheng was very angry.
It was the first time he had been so bluntly rejected by a woman in public. If he didn't still have reason, he knew that it would only make the trouble even more ugly, and he wanted to directly question her how he was worse than that bastard.
Lu Zheng waved his hand, and the maid carefully held the brocade box and fled with her head lowered.
"That being the case, Lu was not thinking well." Lu Zheng changed the subject stiffly, "Today we are going to talk about a business, I think it is boring for you to be idle, so come and listen. You will be there later. Let's have tea behind the screen."
Seeing that Lu Zheng's face was turning green, Pang Xiao was in a good mood. He laughed loudly and said, "Okay, let's measure two more dishes of dim sum." After saying this, he grabbed Qin Yining's hand and walked to the side.
Is this using his current person to instigate
Lu Zheng's face was sullen. Seeing that the appointment time was coming, it was really hard to care about that idiot at this time, so he could only hold his breath and wave at Lu Xi.
Lu Xi immediately went to order snacks in the small kitchen.
Before the refreshment was served, Lu Zheng had been sitting in the main hall, and he refused to talk to Pang Xiao any longer, which showed that people were angry.
Not long after, the maid brought refreshments.
Lu Xi said at the same time, "Eldest young master, the guest has arrived."
Lu Zheng said, "Mm."
Lu Xi went out and invited people in.
Qin Yining and Pang Xiao sat behind a wooden screen. The screen was carved with a plum tree with strong branches, but there was no hollow. They couldn't see the outside at all, so they could only listen.
I only heard people from outside chatting with Lu Zheng, and the words were quite polite.
Lu Zheng has always been indifferent, cut to the subject directly, and asked the other party what official he wanted to buy.
The voice of the person who came was hoarse, and it sounded like being rubbed by sandpaper.
"The next thing I want to buy is the magistrate of Huichuan County, north of the capital."
Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows: "The county magistrate of Huichuan? Do you know where that Huichuan is?"
"Naturally know." The person who came smiled, with a voice in the throat.
Lu Zheng nodded, "Since you have chosen the position, I will not say much. This is the number. When I see the silver, I will start to help you with errands, you can just wait for the news."
The person who came was happy to come down.
Now that the deal was done, the man started chatting with Lu Zheng again, all of which were praising the Lu family, flattering Lu Zheng, and directly arguing that Lu Zheng boasted that there is something in the sky or not.
On the side of the screen, Qin Yining fell silent.
Seeing that Qin Yining's face was not right, Pang Xiao held her hand across the table with some worry, and even began to wonder if there was something unclean in the tea that Lu Zheng brought.
Qin Yining regained his senses and smiled at Pang Xiao to indicate that he was fine.
The person who bought the official from the outside has already left.
Qin Yining and the others walked away, and then said to Pang Xiao, "Master, this slave is very tired, why don't we go back and rest?"
Pang Xiao knew that there was something wrong with her, and immediately nodded: "My dear, your face is pale, it's not the young master's. Let's go, let's go back."
Pang Xiao put his arms around Qin Yining's shoulders, went to the front and said to Lu Zheng, and then even led the people away, gnashing Lu Zheng's teeth.
Back at the guest house, Qin Yining immediately asked Pang Xiao in a low voice, "Look carefully, is it convenient for us to talk now?"
Pang Xiao nodded: "Don't worry, what's wrong?"
Qin Yining frowned and said in a low voice, "I recognize the voice of the person who bought the official just now."
"Is that someone you know?"
Qin Yining nodded: "Do you remember when Mrs. Liao and the two allies were arrested by Siqin together with me, and in the end, because they refused to reveal the whereabouts of the treasure, Siqin abandoned the three of them in the desert? "
