Fenglin Tianxia – Queen with a Thousand Pets

The signature on the post is the Xiao family, but the accessories in the greenhouse are marked by our Ling family. Zheng Xi said.

Ling Qingyu's fingers unconsciously began to tap the edge again, and asked: Is this Xiao Rong's or Xiao Cang's idea?

It's Old Mrs. Xiao. In the Xiao Mansion in Bianjing, Old Mrs. Xiao is still in charge. At this plum appreciation party, Old Mrs. Xiao means that although no one from the direct line of the Xiao family is in the official career, the collateral line is still If some forces only invite these middle and low-level officials, the Xiao family will not look good. Han Zong said, and then sighed slightly, if they did not borrow the Xiao family's courtyard, there would not be such trouble, but indeed, without the Xiao family If you come forward, who will care about your Ling family?

This is not appropriate. Please adjust our jewelry quickly. Take back all the jewelry that cost a thousand taels. Don't put too many jewelry in it. Choose some exquisite styles that are not available in Bianjing. Jewelry that is too cheap will not be used. Pull out all the ones worth between two hundred taels and one thousand taels. Well, just keep two hundred pieces. I will pick out three sets of jewelry later. You can keep a greenhouse to display these three sets. Don’t mark them. The price will be bid based on the highest bidder. Ling Qingyu said.

Why? Zheng Xi asked unconsciously. In this case, more than half of the accessories would have to be withdrawn.

The jewelry you prepared is probably worth millions of taels of silver, right? Seeing Han Zong nodded and Zheng Xi still a little confused, Ling Qingyu said: Old Mrs. Xiao, you are harming us. Our original intention was to give some away Things are going out, but if high-ranking officials come, how dare those officials take them? The things we put there are worth millions of taels. This is clearly telling people that we are fat pigs, come and slaughter them, so this time, we change The model makes everyone think that we are just propaganda. A hundred thousand taels of silver is not a big deal. We win with ingenuity. For them, it is not just another bank with a trick. But it will be more troublesome in the future. Mr. Han, if there is someone who is friendly to us, we will follow up and build a relationship.

After saying so many words in one breath, Ling Qingyu became a little out of breath and hurriedly took the tea cup and took a sip of ginseng tea.

Han understands. Mrs. Xiao wants to use us as a scapegoat to protect the Xiao family from disaster. We will make adjustments now. Head, please don't show up at this plum appreciation party. Han Ye nodded. road.

I know, I'm just going to have fun then, I'll have to rely on Brother Han. Ling Qingyu said with a smile, not to mention that her current body can't do that kind of all-around entertainment, even if she can, wait, I remembered a key point, Ling Qingyu Asked: Are the male guests and female guests together this time? Or are they separated? Who will receive the female guests?

There is no specific separation. The plum groves in the Xiao family's plum garden are one. If they were separated, we would not be able to see all the beautiful scenery. In the past, the Xiao family did not separate them intentionally when they entertained guests. After thinking for a moment, Han Ye said.

Well, that means that the distinction between men and women in Bianjing is not so strict now. Many women can be seen on the street. This is much easier to handle. Women have always loved jewelry, but those who pay for it are all man! Ling Qingyu nodded and said, Have you found the girl who will introduce the jewelry?

Well, I brought Bai Wei and the others here, and a few others from Hangzhou and Suzhou Yinlou. They are all experienced people, so don't worry. Zheng Xi said. The concept of sales lady was also taught to them by Ling Qingyu. A girl who wears uniform clothes, looks sweet and can speak well but is not very beautiful can be a model without making the female customers feel jealous or ashamed.

Then let's go first. Han Ye stood up and said. Adjusting the accessories is not a simple task, it is equivalent to selecting all the accessories again. It must look special but not too expensive.

Xiao Mansion.

Xiao Rong hurriedly walked into the main house and said to the maid at the door of the courtyard: Miss Ruizhu, please tell the old lady, Xiao Rong, please see me.

Steward Xiao, please wait a moment while I go back to the old lady. Ruizhu responded, opened the curtain and turned back to the main room.

Old lady, Manager Xiao is here. The room was bustling with excitement. Madam Xiao was leaning on the soft couch, watching the little girls discussing a box of jewelry sent by the Ling family.

Oh? Mrs. Xiao glanced outside the door and said, I want him to answer outside.

Yes. Ruizhu saluted, went outside and said to Xiao Rong, What does the old lady want to ask you?

Xiao Rong looked at the room, feeling slightly bitter in his heart. He suppressed what he had originally thought about and raised his voice a little: Xiao Rong would like to ask the old lady to give the old lady a copy of the guest list for this banquet, so as to avoid any inconvenience. I have offended the noble man in the right place. Originally, it was agreed that some middle-level officials would be invited, and the level of entertainment was also arranged according to this arrangement, but today when I saw the post that was sent out, it actually included the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion and the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion. Xiao Rong was immediately frightened. Breaking out in a cold sweat, he understood the old lady's thoughts best. She was afraid that she was going with the intention of harming the Ling family. The young master was still in the Ling family. Did the old lady not even care about the young master? Isn't she still determined to give up? The master's body is already like this, and she still wants to marry him and have children?

After waiting for a long time, Ruizhu came out again, handed a list to Xiao Rong, and said: The list is here. The old lady said that if you mess up this time, you don't have to come back.

Old Madam, Xiao Rong has left. I can see the sweat on his head. Grandma Li turned back from the door and smiled at Madam Xiao.

Yeah. Mrs. Xiao snorted coldly, and she was even more unhappy with this old steward. If it weren't for him, how could Cang'er have been in Hangzhou and not come back? That scoundrel must fight her to the end. When the bitch died, he was unwilling to marry him to fill the house. The bitch's father committed treason and asked him to throw the bitch's tablet out of the ancestral hall, but he refused. Now the Xiao family is being targeted by the Queen Mother. , as long as he marries someone else, he can avoid it with the Xiao family's century-old reputation, but the evil son still refuses and only focuses on protecting Xiao Se. Okay, if you don't think about the Xiao family, then let me think about it, doesn't the Queen Mother just want money? The Ling family has a lot of money. If they open a silver shop, they will get millions of taels of silver. With the Ling family here, who do we, the Xiao family, count?

Ruiqin, send a message to Prime Minister Wang and Prime Minister Dong's Mansion, as well as Cheng Mansion. Mrs. Xiao sneered. I'd like to see what kind of plum blossom feast a merchant can hold.

Xiao Rong took the list and went to Meiyuan. Although Meiyuan was the property of the Xiao family, it was still some distance away from the Xiao Mansion. After reading the list carefully on the way, Xiao Rong sighed inwardly, Old Madam, what are you doing? I want to get the Xiao family into trouble. The post I made this time was in the name of the Xiao family. Although the ornaments have the logo of the Ling family, the convener is the Xiao family after all. If anything happens, it will be Xiao who loses. The honor of the family, woman! She is indeed a woman!

When he arrived at Demei Garden, he saw the familiar servants of the Ling family coming and going at the door. Xiao Rong was stunned for a moment. Wasn't everything already arranged? What was he doing moving around? After asking the guard at the door, Xiao Rong went to the greenhouse to find Han Xie.

This conservatory is the most exquisitely decorated conservatory, but the hundreds of ornaments originally placed inside are gone, and only three desks have been replaced.

Mr. Han? What are you doing? Xiao Rong held the list in his hand, looked around and asked.

We have made adjustments and are re-arranging them. Han Zong said with a smile. He was not sure what role Xiao Rong and Xiao Cang played in such a vicious idea. If they were also involved in this matter, then he would have to reconsider the Ling family's layout in the north. Now Xiao Rong knew too much.

Hey, this is why I came to you. You see, this is a guest invited privately by the old lady. Xiao Rong sighed and handed the order to Han Ye.

After reading the list, Han Ye's first thought was to cancel the plum blossom appreciation banquet and let the Xiao family suffer the consequences themselves. However, after thinking about it, the news had been revealed to some officials he had now become friends with. If not, It was also not good, so he endured his anger and said, I wonder what the Xiao family means by this?

Mr. Han, don't get me wrong. I only know about this, and our master doesn't know anything about it. It was all the old lady's idea. Mr. Han, I don't have a problem with you canceling it. In short, this matter is the Xiao family's fault. Rong sighed.

After hearing what he said, Han Xie's expression improved slightly. He pondered for a moment and said, I want to go back and discuss this matter with the boss. However, as Xiao Da is in charge, there is no need to ask your boss to adjust the goods this time. Madam knows, and to ensure safety, we have completely closed the Plum Garden for the past few days.

Ling Qingyu has arrived? Xiao Rong breathed a sigh of relief and said: Of course it is going to be like this. Don't worry, Mr. Han, I will not let the old lady know. Get rid of the old lady's ears and eyes first. Old ladies who fail to succeed but fail to succeed!

**********

Bird's nest is a good thing, but if you eat it every day, you will get tired of it. Especially the bird's nest that is not stimulating and therefore has no taste at all, is even more annoying!

Ling Qingyu stared at the bird's nest in front of him, looked pitifully at Yan San and then at Yang Zhao, and said, Can you change the taste? Mutton is also very filling! Didn't Zhao say that a lot of sheep were brought here? Give me some. OK?

Ling Qingyu had already guessed that the business in the market was good, but he didn't expect it to be so good. Last time, the value of the spice tea in the market was estimated at about three million taels, which was double the price in Hangzhou. Han Zong respectively Sent to three sales yards, Xiongzhou's 800,000 taels of goods were exchanged for 3,000 war horses, 10,000 sheep, furs, jewelry and other goods worth 300,000 taels of silver. The transaction in Dai County was even more powerful. The goods worth 1.5 million taels were directly exchanged with the other party for 8,000 war horses, 100,000 sheep, a huge amount of furs, jewelry and other items. Why is it called a huge amount? It means that if it were exchanged for silver, it would be estimated to be more than 1 million taels. . Another 700,000 taels of goods were sent to Dangxiang, and the 12,000 war horses exchanged were directly distributed to the two battalions of soldiers in the past.

Most of the sheep, Han Shu, were sold to merchants in Bianjing. Winter is the time to eat mutton, and the price is good. The price of the furs doubled when they were shipped to Bianjing. Yang Zhao put the furs inside He kept the best ones and made a lot of clothes for Ling Qingyu to keep out the cold.

How about stewed soup? Yang Zhao asked Yan San hesitantly, looking at her pitiful look.

She is now deficient in energy and blood. Shi Fang said that she cannot replenish her blood too much at once and can only eat clear and moist food. Yan San said unmoved by her.

Then isn't this bird's nest also very nourishing? Ling Qingyu pouted.

This is specifically for replenishing the lungs. You have a big hole in your lungs, don't you want to mend it? Yan San put the bowl in front of her, stared at her and said, Good boy, drink it. Seeing her tilting her head and not drinking, she sighed. : If you drink this, I'll make you stewed mutton.

Yang Zhao's face darkened. He said it so nicely, but it still had the same result!

When Han Chu and Zheng Xi came back in the evening, the mutton stew had turned into mutton hot pot.

While listening to Han Xie talking about the situation, Ling Qingyu looked at the list carefully. This old lady of the Xiao family really thought highly of the Ling family. The Duke, nobles, Qingliu, and powerful people were all on the list. This was not for Xiao. Are you looking for trouble yourself? The Ling family is nothing more than a new maritime businessman, and it doesn't matter if they are vulgar, but the Xiao family is a century-old family, the descendants of the Lanling Xiao family, so they are not afraid of attracting attention by doing this.

It's too late to separate people at this time. Putting the list aside, Ling Qingyu rubbed his brows and said: Since Mrs. Xiao doesn't care about the reputation of the Xiao family, we don't need to care so much, but if these powerful people are really If they all come, it will make the officials we invite uncomfortable, which is not good. In this way, we can turn the plum appreciation party into a garden party.

Garden party? Zheng Xi was puzzled.
