Fenglin Tianxia – Queen with a Thousand Pets

Fireworks fall in Yangzhou in March, how chic and romantic it is.

However, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it will not look good if it is hit by continuous heavy rain.

This heavy rain has been falling for three days. When will it stop? Ling Qingyu sighed sadly as he looked at the rainwater that had reached two steps in the yard.

Girl. Zheng Xi ran in from the small courtyard wearing a raincoat. Seeing her standing at the door, her clothes wet from the rain, she hurriedly took her into the house.

I'm afraid the floods this year will not be small. Zheng Xi took off his raincoat, then took off his already soaked clothes, and took the long towel handed over by Ling Qingyu and said.

What's going on outside? Ling Qingyu asked. As soon as he entered Yangzhou City, he found an inn and rented a small courtyard. Before he could go out, it started to rain. As a result, he couldn't even get out.

I heard that the situation in the Huaihe River Basin is even worse. The place we are going to is Gumulang in Huai'an. I'm afraid the flooding will be severe, Zheng Xi said. Although Ling Qingyu was wearing men's clothes, she was ready to do anything as soon as she got caught in the rain, so Zheng Xi was responsible for going to the restaurant in front of her to inquire about information.

Let's set off when the rain eases. I always feel a little worried. Ling Qingyu looked at the vast field of heavy rain with sadness again. This kind of weather is really easy to make people worry!

Wait for two days. I'm talking about two shops. There is a jade shop here to be transferred. I took a look and the craftsman's skills are very good. Girl, don't you want to do that? Jade? There is also a spice shop, and that The jade shop is together. I calculated that the two shops and their servants only cost 10,000 taels of silver. The servants of those two shops still have dead contracts, but I don’t want those goods, they are all inferior goods. . Zheng Xi said, wiping his hair and changing into clean clothes.

Ten thousand taels of silver for just the shop and people? Ling Qingyu asked, the price is not cheap.

Yes, although the location of the shop is not very good, it is surrounded by big companies. Moreover, the most valuable things here are the craftsmen and the shopkeeper of the spice shop. They are very knowledgable and the people who sign are all dead. Contract is easier to handle. Zheng Xi sat at the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and said with a smile. If it weren't for these people, the shop wouldn't even be worth the eight thousand taels of silver. But with these people, these two shops can be opened directly. Good craftsmen are not so easy to find nowadays, and Zheng Xi plans to take them back to Suzhou.

Well, that's true. We are not short of money now. We can earn it back from them in the future. Ling Qingyu nodded. There are also several large boxes of jade on the ship. If there are good craftsmen, it will be a big income.

But I'm not sure I want to buy it today. I'll try to lower the price and see. Zheng Xi said with a smile. The seller was a young scholar who looked like he was spoiled by his family and didn't understand business at all. The shop was large and elegantly decorated, but the goods inside were all of inferior quality. The young man thought he was saving costs. , what a pity for such a good craftsman and shopkeeper.

When is the next appointment? Ling Qingyu turned around and asked.

Well, let's go this afternoon. I said I want to ask my boss, and I think I can give him a thousand taels of silver.

Then I'll go with you in the afternoon. I'm so bored staying in the house all the time.

Where is the third master?

Stay in the house and sleep, and ignore me when talking to him. Ling Qingyu said very frustrated. What a stingy man!

Yan Sanzheng, who was sleeping in the inner room, covered his mouth and coughed twice, took away his palm, smiled silently when he saw the purple-black blood clot, and suppressed the blood in his chest.

In the afternoon, the rain finally subsided, and it felt like a slanting wind and drizzle.

Ling Qingyu wore a blue gown, tied her hair into a bun with a blue ribbon, and inserted a hosta into her hair. She followed Zheng Xi into the private room in a refreshing manner.

Fortunately, it's not the corner private room dedicated to the Xiao family. This is a square elegant room with a bookcase by the window. There are all four treasures in the study room above. There are low huanghuali chairs on both sides. There is a very quaint tea table in the middle. There are tea sets neatly placed on the table. A girl in white, with wide sleeves and a light shirt, is sitting on her knees at the table making tea.

this! It's so elegant! Why are merchants so elegant when discussing business? Show off your power? Your aunt is a vegetarian? I remember back then, my aunt’s best friend was obsessed with tea ceremony, and I had to kneel with her for four months! Humming in his heart, Ling Qingyu walked in very respectfully, saluted the young master opposite, and then sat on the low seat in a very elegant posture.

Yan San glanced at it and still stood at the door. Zheng Xi hesitated and looked at the shopkeeper next to the young master opposite. Seeing the helpless look on his face, Zheng Xi sneered and sat next to Ling Qingyu.

Master Zhu... As soon as Zheng Xica opened his mouth, the young master opposite raised his hand to stop him. The young master looked at him dissatisfied, and then looked at the tea-making girl intently.

Ling Qingyu glanced at Zheng Xi with a smile, suppressed his dissatisfaction, and leaned slightly on the armrest of the low chair. The beauty was making tea, and every move was very pleasing to the eye. The tea was fragrant, and Ling Qingyu unconsciously thought of his best friend. , but I don’t know if that classmate will jump up and scold him or cry bitterly after knowing that he is pregnant? Probably a bit of both.

Ling Qingyu had a faint and elegant smile on her face, but her thoughts were far away. However, her appearance was a bit unruly and erotic, so Mr. Zhu unconsciously glanced at her twice.

After the beauty boiled the tea and poured it into the cup, Mr. Zhu said: That shop is my family's ancestral property. If it wasn't... ten thousand taels, shopkeeper Zheng would give me the exact amount if he wanted to buy it. I would buy it three days later. It doesn’t matter if you don’t buy it.”

Ling Qingyu came to his senses for a moment and asked unconsciously: Master, is there something difficult for you?

Mr. Zhu rolled his eyes at her and said to himself, Of course I will be in trouble. Otherwise, who would sell my main business? The rest of the family is farmland. Although these two shops have been losing money in the past two years, if it weren't for the eldest brother, They have to rely on money to save their lives, and the Zhu family is not ready to sell their property.

I still hope that the young master can make it clear that ten thousand taels of silver is not a problem, but Ling doesn't want to bring trouble back. Ling Qingyu took a sip of tea and said.

Sir. The shopkeeper next to him held down Mr. Zhu, looked at Zheng Xi, and said to Ling Qingyu: Ling Dong's family, right? Our Zhu family is also a wealthy family in Yangzhou. We will never do anything deceptive. In fact, there are people in the house. Urgent matter.

Whether you want to buy it or not. Mr. Zhu broke away from the shopkeeper's hand, stood up and left directly.

It belongs to the shopkeeper. Ling Qingyu stopped the shopkeeper who was about to chase him out, and asked: Please tell me, meeting each other means we are destined. Let's see if Ling can help?

Hey, my eldest son is the county magistrate of Jiangdu. This year, Jiangdu's embankments were breached, and the government's disaster relief funds were delayed, so the old lady agreed to sell the shop. The shopkeeper lowered his head and said.

So it turns out that if a dike bursts within the jurisdiction, it will at least be punished by ineffective jurisdiction, coupled with the unfavorable resettlement. If there are still a few political opponents to add insult to injury, then it will look good.

Shopkeeper, I bought this shop at your price, but the craftsmen will go to Suzhou with us for a few years. Is there any problem? Ling Qingyu put down the teacup and asked.

Of course it's no problem! Don't worry, boss, we all signed the death contract and we will do our best, the shopkeeper said hurriedly. The Zhu family has always been kind to their servants. If they can be helpful to the eldest son, what do they mean?

One more thing. Your eldest son is willing to use his property to help the victims. Ling admires it very much. Ling Qingyu took out 20,000 taels of silver notes and said, I donated these 10,000 taels to Jiangdu. I hope I can do my little bit.”

This! Thank you so much, Mr. Ling! The head shopkeeper bowed his head to the ground.

So, then you and Zheng Xi should go through the formalities as soon as possible. There is no need to worry about the goods. We can handle them when we come back. After saying that, Ling Qingyu stood up. If he sat down again, his legs would be numb!

Zhu Mansion on the bank of Slender West Lake in Yangzhou.

There was a crisp sound of touch, and then the woman shouted sternly: You don't want to deal with merchants! Then tell me, how do you get together these ten thousand taels?!

Zhu Fangqing lowered her head and did not dare to reply.

Mrs. Zhu was so angry that she couldn't speak, but she couldn't help her second son. He couldn't study well, and a shop with such a good business could make a loss, but he still looked like a noble scholar all day long.

Madam, madam. The shopkeeper stepped into the room and saw the tea stains all over the floor. He stood behind the screen and said with cupped hands: Madam, the Ling Dong family has bought our shop for ten thousand taels of silver.

Amitabha. Mrs. Zhu recited the Buddha's name and sat on the chair.

Also, the Ling Dong family said that our eldest son was willing to use his own money to help the victims. He admired it very much, so he also donated 10,000 taels of silver to the eldest son. Here are a total of 20,000 taels of silver notes. The shopkeeper He respectfully handed the banknote to the woman waiting next to him.

Seriously?! Taking the banknote from the mother-in-law's hand, Mrs. Zhu said happily: This is a noble person, hurry up and give it to Qing'er.

Madam, Zhu Jiang has to go through the formalities with him now. He can no longer serve Madam and the two young masters. The shopkeeper bowed deeply. Once the formalities were completed, he was no longer a slave of the Zhu family.

Hey, I really wronged you. Mrs. Zhu sighed and hurriedly ordered her mother-in-law to take out the land deeds and the personal deeds of those people. Some of the family members were put together and given to them, so as not to call these families Slave flesh and blood separated.

The weather was hot and it was raining intermittently. Zheng Xi went to go through the formalities, but Ling Qingyu had no intention of going out and just sat in front of the house and watched the rain.

What are you thinking about? Yan San asked as he sat next to her.

Ah? Are you not angry anymore? Ling Qingyu was startled by him and asked sideways.

I'm not angry. Yan San said calmly.

You're not angry, you're going to complain about me everywhere? Still ignoring me? ignore me? Ling Qingyu accused him with her eyes.

After touching her head, Yan San leaned on her tiredly.

Are you feeling uncomfortable? Ling Qingyu frowned and put her hand to his forehead.

It's okay, just let me sleep for a while. Yan San took off her hand, closed his eyes, and leaned on her shoulder, listening to the sound of raindrops in front of the steps, his panicked breath slowly subsided, and the man who was walking backwards slowly calmed down. The bloodline also seems to be slowly recovering.

Ling Qingyu glanced at him worriedly, but did not disturb him. He turned sideways to let him lean more comfortably. He thought to himself that he must ask Shi Fang to show him when he went back. It turns out that the iron-clad Yan San would be like this. When you are tired? But why so tired? They weren't in a hurry this way, were they? There wasn't any fierce fighting? So, is it? No way? ah! It's really like that! What exactly is it like? !
