"A little girl, she is very good-looking, her surname is Shen, and she is probably from the Shen family." Ji Yushu scratched his head: "She is very fierce and turns a blind eye to my elegance."

As soon as the words fell, the tea room fell into a strange silence. After a while, Gao Yang looked at Xie Jing Xing with a smile: "I know who it is. This little girl from the Shen family is quite powerful." Although the smile was gentle, there was a bit of sternness in his tone.

"Actually, I also find it strange," Ji Yushu shuddered, scratching his head and said, "I looked at her carefully when she came over, it doesn't seem like it was the first time she came to Baixiaosheng to do business. I asked Hongling, I've never seen her before, our business is secretive, and no one knows about the officials in Dingjing except those few, how... how does she know?"

"This girl is not simple at all," Gao Yang pondered: "I originally thought that the Shen family in Dingjing was just brainless fat, and sooner or later they were swallowed. Now it seems that the water is deeper than I imagined." He glanced at it. Xie Jing Xing saw that the latter lowered his head in thought, and asked, “What do you think?”

Xie Jing Xing raised his head and looked at Ji Yu Shu: "Have you agreed to her conditions?"

"Such a big thing, I always have to discuss it with you." Ji Yushu said one cake at a time: "But I guess, the Shen family has a great business and the troops are not weak. If what the little girl of the Shen family said is true , In the future, it should be much simpler for the third brother to do things. After all, she doesn't know that our Fengxian pawnshop is privately owned by the third brother. "

The snipe and clam were fighting for the fisherman's profit, the little girl surnamed Shen probably didn't know the promise she made, but in the end it was Xie Jing Xing's favor. But don't blame her, because of the powerful relationship, even Hong Ling, who has been in charge of Fengxian's pawnshop for many years, doesn't know about it.

"Having said that..." Gao Yang pondered: "This gamble is too big. The news she is about to make will attract the attention of the royal family if she is not careful. We must be careful in our actions now. If something goes wrong, it will outweigh the loss. One Shen family lacks one Shen family, and the original plan did not have the strength of the Shen family, but you don't have to be so concerned."

“What you said also makes sense.” Ji Yushu nodded and looked at Xie Jing Xing, “But in the end, it is still up to the third brother to make up his mind.”

"Her conditions, you agree."

As soon as Xie Jingling's words were spoken, Gao Yang frowned and said, "Why did you make such a hasty decision?"

“Since the Shen family has become a variable, it may not be useful in the future. It can still be used to deal with some people. As for the news she wants to create, it is aimed at Prince Yu’s residence.” Xie Jing Xing raised his eyebrows: “ It just so happens that we don't have to take action to clean up, and it saves things."

When he said this, several people also remembered. Ji Yushu slapped his hand: "Yes, I almost forgot, she is going to spread the news that Prince Yu's Mansion is rebelling. Is this going for Prince Yu's Mansion? Does Prince Yu's Mansion have any grudge against the Shen family?"

When Ji Yushu returned to the capital of Ding, he did not pay attention to the romantic affairs between the ladies of the official family. These are still unclear and somewhat inexplicable.

Gao Yang knew it in his heart, he knew the grievances between Shen Miao and Prince Yu, and could not help but look sideways, if an ordinary daughter encountered such a thing, she would be afraid of the power of Prince Yu’s residence, not only was Shen Miao not afraid, she was still waiting for the opportunity counterattack. She is smart and tight. Prince Yu's mansion has the backing of the royal family, so she will divorce the royal family first. If the royal family had doubts about Prince Yu, naturally, the life-saving talisman behind Prince Yu's residence would be useless.

But even so, what else could she do

"Accepted this business." Xie Jingxing said, "Notify the Jiangnan Chen family as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, I have already asked Hongling to send a letter to Yuzhou. The Chen family's case has dragged on for three years, but I don't know whether the news of the Shen family girl is true or not. After all, the Chen family had tried everything possible. If there is no news, how can a little girl know about it now. If her news is false, it is estimated that the Chen family will not make her feel better." Ji Yushu said vaguely with snacks in his mouth.

“Since she came to sell the news, it’s true.” Xie Jing Xing frowned, “It’s just that there is something wrong with this matter.”

"Are you a rice bucket?" Gao Yang looked at Ji Yushu's devouring appearance, and couldn't help shaking his head and said, "Could it be that you, the shopkeeper of Fengxian's pawnshop, have never had enough to eat?"

"Hey," Ji Yushu stretched out a finger and shook it, "the desserts in other places can't be made better by the chef brought by the third brother. Last time I brought the desserts made by the third brother's chef to Miss Shaoyao, and Miss Shaoyao actually You smiled at me, you can see." He picked up a snack and shook it in front of Gao Yang, "There is always something different."

Gao Yang was too lazy to talk about him, when he suddenly saw Ji Yushu's face suddenly condensed and thought of something, he took out a silver note from his pocket and said, "Speaking of which, that girl from the Shen family gave me a thousand dollars in the end. Two silver coins to buy a piece of news."

“What news?” Xie Jing Xing and Gao Yang looked at him at the same time.

"I said I was looking for someone, a girl named Liu Ying, I said... It's probably a girl from the brothel Chuguan, right in the Ding capital, so I must find her." He asked curiously, "She asked the brothel girl to do it. What? Could it be that you love beauty as much as I do?"

Gao Yang and Xie Jing Xing looked at each other, the former was puzzled and the latter just shook his head slightly.

When she was sent out by Hong Ling, Mo Qing and the others were relieved when they saw that she was safe and sound, Shen Miao stayed inside for too long, if she stayed a little longer, only a few people would rush in to grab someone. Before Shen Qiu left, there were thousands of warnings and instructions that Shen Miao had caused trouble now, so be careful on the road, if Shen Miao was really lost, Shen Qiu would not turn around and throw a few people away.

Hong Ling smiled politely at Shen Miao and said, "Miss Shen can come here after ten days."

“Many thanks to Steward Hong.” Shen Miao also replied gently.

It was the commoner guy at the door, it was probably the first time he saw Hong Ling treat people with such respect and he couldn't help but look at Shen Miao more.

After Shen Miao and his party got into the carriage and left, the young man couldn't help but ask Hong Ling, "In charge, what's the background of that girl?"

"Do your business well." Hong Ling patted his head lightly, thought about it, and said, "Next time I see this Miss Shen with a sweeter mouth, she is not a simple person."

The young man hurriedly responded, and Hong Ling sighed inwardly as she watched the figure of the carriage go away. The Ding capital is really full of talents, and now even a little girl can do such a big thing so calmly.

On the carriage, Shen Miao was in deep thought and did not know what she was thinking, Jing Zhe and Gu Yu did not speak for fear of disturbing her thoughts. Actually they did not know what business Shen Miao came to do today, even though it was a pawn shop, they did not know what it was. But what Shen Miao did not say, the two maids would not talk too much.

But when he was passing by, Gu Yu smiled and said, "Guangfuzhai is in front. It's been a long time since I went out. Why don't my servants go and buy some snacks from Guangfuzhai."

Guangfuzhai’s dim sum has always been a sought-after one, and it was not a bad time to buy one before the crowd was at its most crowded, although Shen Miao herself did not like it very much, Luo Xueyan and Shen Qiu liked it. Shen Miao nodded and said, "You go."

Gu Yu jumped out of the carriage and went to Guangfuzhai first.

Mo Qing was surrounded by the carriage, and some of them were tall and sturdy, and some of them were eye-catching, and everyone who passed by at a time had to give them a second look. Shen Miao opened the curtain and wanted to get some air, but her eyes were attracted by a person.

That person was probably also coming out of Guangfu Zhai with a bag of snacks in his hand, his eyes happened to meet Shen Miao in the air and he couldn’t help but be slightly startled.

It was Pei Lang.

Shen Miao had not gone to Guangwentang for a long time, she neither wanted to gain the reputation of a talented woman, nor did she want to gain fame based on this exam. I've been busy with my own business these days, but I forgot that there is such a thing. She looked at Pei Lang, suddenly smiled, and nodded at him from the carriage.

Pei Lang was a little stunned for a while, in fact, Shen Miao was his student. Ming Qi still attached great importance to the character of respecting the teacher and respecting the Tao, Xie Jing Xing was not so out of the ordinary, but as a student, he always had to be polite to his husband. But Shen Miao's nodding just now gave Pei Lang an illusion, as if he still had to look up at Shen Miao and Shen Miao had to raise him by one head.

Before he could wait for him to react, Shen Miao had already put down the curtains and Mo Qing in the carriage noticed his gaze and looked at him with some vigilance.

Pei Lang was in the same place, such a rude behavior, a person as arrogant as him should have been angry. But I don't know why, except for a bit of crying and laughing in my heart, I can't produce any other emotions. Probably because of Shen Miao's strength these days, he felt that if Shen Miao behaved to him like those students, he would not be used to it.

Shaking his head, Pei Lang had to leave.

Feeling the gaze from outside the carriage leaving, Shen Miao lowered her eyes and looked at her cuff. Regarding Pei Lang, her feelings were very complicated. She was very indifferent to Pei Lang when Fu Xiuyi treated Wan Yu and Fu Ming, but she also knew that Pei Lang was just being the person he thought was loyal to the monarch. The grievances and grievances from the previous life are over, since there is still something for Pei Lang to use in this life, she shouldn't be entangled in this matter, it's just that she feels a little uncomfortable.

While thinking about it, Gu Yu had already returned from shopping for dim sum.

After returning to the Shen residence, it was not too late and Shen Qiu also lived in the west courtyard, so Shen Miao planned to deliver some snacks to Shen Qiu. Fang walked to the lobby and happened to meet Ren Wanyun helping Shen Qing out, Ren Wanyun looked at Shen Miao with a knife in her eyes, Shen Qing’s eyes were even more malicious, even Gu Yu and Jing Zhe couldn’t help but fight a cold war. Both pairs protected Shen Miao behind them.

"The fifth sister has never gone to greet the old lady these days." Ren Wanyun brought up another issue: "Do you plan to be an unworthy descendant?"

Shen Miao glanced at her, Ren Wan Yun is now like a mad dog, whoever catches and bites, is afraid of Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan, and at the same time is unwilling that Shen Qing has suffered in vain, and can only do some small movements that are not painful or itchy.

But Shen Miao was not scared after all, fame, she was not afraid at all and looked at Shen Qing with a slight smile: "Second Aunt now still has the energy to take care of my affairs, so I am not afraid that Big Sister will be hurt. The marriage is in a hurry, and I will enter the palace next month, and the second aunt has to teach the eldest sister some things, after all, the marriage is not an ordinary door, but the prince's palace."

After saying that, he walked away with Jingzhe Guyu without looking back.

Ren Wan Yun was trembling with anger. The more angry she was these days, the more confused she felt. Even Shen Gui's more and more doted on that Wan Yiniang didn't bother her. Yi, the image of staying behind closed doors, making Shen Gui some food from time to time, with Shen Qing's foil, he looks more and more well-behaved. With that Concubine Wan who coaxed Shen Gui into obedience, Ren Wanyun and Shen Qing were not as good as each day.

And all this was because of Shen Miao. Otherwise, with Ren Wanyun's methods, how could the arrogant Wan Yiniang, who had been subdued by her back then, would be as arrogant as she is today.

"Mother," Shen Qing beside her pulled her hand, she has been cold-hearted these days, her arrogant and impetuous temperament has subsided a lot, the resentment in her eyes has not diminished, and she gritted her teeth: "Don't worry, bear with it, When I enter the Prince’s Mansion, even if I have to fight my life, I will let Prince Yu attack Shen Miao, I will definitely not make her feel better.”

Since Shen Qing already had a body, the Queen's concubine's marriage was scheduled for next month, lest it end badly after a long time. In such a short period of time, it was an imperial decree, Ren Wanyun really had no choice but to watch Shen Qing jump into the fire pit.

"Don't be afraid of Qing'er," Ren Wanyun said, "your brother will be back soon, Yuan'er is the smartest, and when he returns, he will definitely be able to think of ways to ruin that little bitch." Shen Yuan will also rush back to participate in Shen Qing Ren Wanyun's eyes flickered, now she is alone and helpless, if not for Shen Yuanbai to please the old lady according to her words, I am afraid that the old lady will not help him.

Shen Miao returned to the West Garden and unexpectedly saw Shen Qiu waiting for her in the courtyard. Seeing her come back, Shen Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, looked at her up and down, and said, "Why did you go for so long, I thought something happened."

“Under the Emperor’s feet, it is bright and sunny, whoever does it is stupid.” Shen Miao handed him the dim sum, “I bought it when I came back, I will give it to you.”

Shen Qiu was stunned for a moment and took it over with some moved, this time back, Shen Miao's change in attitude towards him made him especially pleasantly surprised.

“Why are father and mother not here?” Shen Miao asked.

"I just returned to Beijing, my colleagues are entertaining." Shen Qiu glanced up and down, left and right, and said, "Sister, you are not here today. Father and uncle and uncle have some conflicts these days. Madam Gang also reprimanded father severely."

"Father and second uncle and third uncle are in conflict?"

Shen Qiu looked at Shen Miao's expression and thought for a while before saying, "Younger sister, you also know that because of the ancestral hall, parents were somewhat dissatisfied with the second uncle and the third uncle. Naturally, they did not pay much attention to them, the old lady was probably in a hurry. That's why I reprimanded Dad." Speaking of this, Shen Qiu couldn't help showing a look of injustice on his face: "The old lady's heart is too biased, what's wrong with Dad? The second uncle and the third uncle are in the house. If I didn't take good care of you, I'd be angry, let alone my father."

Shen Qiu didn't call him "grandmother" but "Old Madam", obviously he also had some criticisms of Old Shen.

After saying these words, Shen Qiu couldn't help but glance at Shen Miao's face. Shen Miao was raised by Old Shen Furen all these years, and every time she came back, she was very respectful to Shen Old Furen. Shen Qiu said these words impulsive, and he was not sure whether Shen Miao would be disgusted.

“There is a difference in intimacy, in the end it is not your own blood that sheds.” Shen Miao said indifferently, “Naturally there is partiality.”

"Ha," Shen Qiu seemed happy that he had found an ally: "That's right, Dad is filial to her grandfather's sake. He has done enough for so many years, and he actually called Dad unfilial..."

“It’s not just about the second uncle and the third uncle,” Shen Miao said, “I’m afraid it is also related to the fact that this time Dad has not handed over the money that His Majesty has rewarded.” Old Shen Furen loves money like her life, this time Shen Xin was angry in his heart. The extreme commander left the reward alone, and Shen Miao did not propose to send the silver over there. After a long time, Old Shen Furen could not sit still and had the cheek to find fault.

"It's really..." Shen Qiu seemed to want to say something, but he felt that it would not be good to say it in front of his sister, so he endured and said, "So what? Father's things, give it to anyone you want!"

"That's right, so she just needs to scold her. As long as she has a decent face and ignores her, she won't be able to show any tricks. It's just that Dad's temper is too lonely, and some things should be tolerated on the face. When you arrive, there will naturally be a chance to vent your anger.”

Shen Qiu felt that what Shen Miao said was a bit strange, but it was vague that something came to him, he smiled and said, "I haven't seen her for a year, my younger sister's temperament has become much stronger."

Shen Miao was noncommittal, seeing that Shen Qiu had already opened the paper bag, picked up a large piece of dim sum and threw it in his mouth, chewed it a few times and said, "The dim sum in Dingjing is delicious, we are in the Northwest desert, how can there be such delicate things ."

Shen Miao watched him eat quietly, and after a while, she asked softly, "What does Big Brother think of Zhongyi?"

“Loyalty?” Shen Qiu said without raising his head, “Naturally, it is to be loyal to the monarch to serve the country, to kill foreign enemies with iron blood, to gain prestige in the world, and to be a pillar of the country.” Then he asked Shen Miao, “What is the younger sister asking about this?”

“It’s nothing.” Shen Miao shook her head and said softly, “You can eat it.” In the depths of her eyes, there was a flash of sadness.

The first snow was clear, and it snowed overnight in the Ding capital. When the sun came, the ice crystals frozen at night under the eaves were shining brightly, which was really beautiful. There are naughty children on the street, squatting down and grabbing a handful of snow, making a snowball in the group, and throwing each other to play with each other. This tail has yielded rich fruits.

The outer eaves of Fengxian pawnshop are neatly hung with a row of red lanterns, but they are not ordinary red lanterns. I don't know what material the lanterns are made of. It seems to be mixed with golden yarns. It was also sparkling, and the pendant hanging under the lantern was also a glittering glass bead, which twinkled and contrasted with the ice crystal. This should be done because of the rich and powerful, and there are guards outside, otherwise there will be an endless stream of people who just come to steal the lanterns.

The commoner guy greeted the guests with a smile on his face. There have always been very few people who come to Fengxian pawnshop to do business, and the guys are usually lazy, but today they are uncharacteristically extra-spirited, as if they are sure that there will be guests coming. .

Behind the long corridor of Feng Xian's pawnshop, in another world, on the first floor of the Marquis of Lin'an, in the tea room, a woman in red has a charming smile. She brought in the dessert herself, brought it to the inside, and said with a smile, "The dessert made by the cook, how long is it? Let's try it first." Then he returned the money.

There were three people sitting in the tea room, one of whom was wearing a lake green robe, with a friendly and kind smile. The two people opposite him, who were in their twenties, were actually born in a similar way. Obviously, they were a pair of brothers. Both of them have thick eyebrows and big eyes, swords in their waists, and they have a bit of a river and lake atmosphere.

At this moment, the older of the brothers said: "Manager Ji, the person who bought the news was lying about our brothers, why hasn't he appeared?"

Ji Yushu smiled and said, "Brother Chen, don't be impatient. I said yes to her that day. I only said that I would meet here today, but I didn't mention the time. After all, it is today, and it will not be too late. I hope you two will take more care. "After saying that, I scolded the two people on the opposite side. How could anyone come to do business in the early morning just before dawn? Everyone else is still confused. Boom.

"To be honest," said Young Master Chen, Chen Yueshan, "My two brothers learned the news that they were supposed to arrive in Dingjing in half a month, but they were rushing non-stop, and several horses were exhausted on the way. I got the news of the two sisters. Shopkeeper Ji also knows how much effort we have spent to find the sisters in the past three years, but there is no news at all. Now there are some signs of difficulty, so naturally I am anxious. I also hope that Shopkeeper Ji Don't watch jokes." This Young Master Chen can speak when he arrives, probably because he could see that Ji Yushu was a little displeased with the two of them coming too early, half explanation and half apology.

Ji Yushu felt a little more at ease, and his smile became a little more candid. He smiled and said, "I have also helped you keep an eye on the news over the past few years. Now that I have eyes and eyes, I feel very comforted in my heart."

"It's nothing to ask us to wait for him here," Chen Yuehai, the second young master, was younger and spoke more vigorously, "As long as the news is true, there's no harm in waiting for more than half a month, but if Fake... Teasing our Jiangnan Chen family like this, don't blame our brothers for being rude."

Ji Yushu's calm heart suddenly became unhappy again. The Chen brothers did not care about him, but being ruthless on his territory really made him extremely unhappy. At the moment, the smile did not change, but the tone became colder: "My Fengxian pawnshop only deals with business news, this business can be done in exchange for money. Fengxian's pawnshop is an innocent place to do business and can't afford trouble."

Chen Yueshan paused and glared at his younger brother. He naturally knew that the seemingly friendly and harmless young man on the opposite side was so powerful that it would not be as simple as he showed at the moment.

Seeing his brother's expression, Chen Yuehai knew that he had said something wrong, and he did not continue for a while. The atmosphere fell silent.

After another half-hour, there were footsteps at the door, but Hong Ling stepped forward with a smile and opened the bead curtain, and said to Ji Yushu with a smile: "The shopkeeper, the guests are here."

The two brothers of the Chen family looked at the door subconsciously, and a purple-clothed girl walked out from behind Hong Ling. The girl looked beautiful and cute, and looked about thirteen or fourteen years old. It is a lot older, and for a while, it makes people a little confused.

She opened the curtain, sat down on the empty chair, and nodded to Ji Yushu: "Manager Ji."

"This... girl," Chen Yueshan asked with difficulty: "But the one who sells news?"

Hong Ling smiled again and retreated, only the Chen family brothers, Shen Miao and Ji Yushu were left in the tea room. Shen Miao said, “Not bad.”

Chen Yuehai's expression changed, and he sneered: "Girl, how old were you three years ago, did you deliberately play tricks on the two of us?"

"There are many ways to get the news. Maybe I didn't see it with my own eyes, and maybe I didn't know it three years ago. When doing business, you pay attention to results. Besides, there is nothing worth playing with in a mere Chen family."

"Pfft", Ji Yushu couldn't help laughing out loud, Fang Yi smiled, seeing Chen Yuehai's ugly expression, he quickly said seriously: "Miss Shen is right, business is about results, as for the process. , it's not important."

“Really?” Chen Yuehai looked at Shen Miao and said neither coldly nor warmly, “Then I wonder if this lady Shen can guarantee the news is true? In business, the result is not false, so if the result is true, our brothers The two are naturally rewarded with a lot of money, but if it doesn't work... do you know what the consequences will be?" At the end, Chen Yuehai's tone suddenly became gloomy.

The people who are in the world are probably a little bit fierce, and the fierceness that broke out in that moment is enough to intimidate ordinary people, at least it is more than enough to intimidate a little girl.

However, in the silence, Shen Miao stared at him without blinking, her expression did not fluctuate at all, her calm appearance made Chen Yuehai seem like a vexatious person.

Ji Yushu wanted to laugh, but couldn't, so he had to hold back. Chen Yueshan, who had been silent for a long time, finally said: "Miss Shen, my brother is a little reckless. I apologize for him. The two of us came to buy this news with sincerity. If the girl's news is true, we will offer you thousands of dollars as a reward."

“It’s not necessary to have ten thousand gold,” Shen Miao said, “You can just give some of it as you see it, but the Chen family in the south of the Yangtze River has a wide variety of roads and I just want to form a good relationship, maybe I will suffer in the future, if there is anything I need help from the Chen family, I also hope that the two of you can take care of you in terms of the sentiment of this news."

In the face of two men who were much older and more experienced than her, she spoke without any hesitation. She was well-organized and somewhat arrogant. Chen Yueshan, who made her, looked up to her and said yes. However, he did not know that Ji Yushu had already scolded Shen Miao as a profiteer in his heart, to know that all the money sold on this news was given to the Fengxian pawnshop, but Shen Miao took the initiative to say that the money should be less, was it not a way to let them make money from the Fengxian pawnshop? less

"You'd better talk about the news." Chen Yuehai was a little anxious.

Shen Miao glanced at him and said, "The sisters of the Chen family disappeared in Yuzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, but they were actually kidnapped. The chief envoy who kidnapped the two sisters is the current His Majesty's brother, Prince Yu."

As soon as these words came out, the three people in the tea room fell silent. In another secret room next to the tea room, the two in the room were also startled. The white-clothed son even shouted, "Prince Yu?"

The purple-clothed youth rubbed the jade cup in his hand, and suddenly raised his lips and smiled, saying word by word, "Interesting."
