Dressed as a villain's stepmother, I use spiritual springs to raise cubs

The frontiers of the Li Kingdom were invaded, and internal turmoil continued, but the capital was still bustling.

Xia Bai'an was concerned about Mo Che's news, and was busy with the opening of Chenxiang Pavilion and Tongji Hall. Seeing that the winter was about to pass, the two shops opened quietly before the spring, without any splash.

Xia Bai'an only said.

"Chen Xiang Pavilion opened for the second time, and Song Yuchu's Pinxiang Pavilion was previously entrusted to help sell Furong Qinglu. It is really inappropriate to make a fuss, just open the business slowly and make money."

"As for Tongjitang, the opening of the medicine hall and medical clinic doesn't need to be known to everyone. Instead, I hope that the shelves will be covered with dust, so that the world will be less sick."

Both reasons are reasonable, and the guys had no choice but to accept the idea of ​​asking for red envelopes and concentrate on doing things.

Liu Pipa and Li Xiuhong took over Chenxiang Pavilion completely, Luo Changfeng and Xu Ji were in charge of Tongji Hall, and Zhang Qianqian, who specially brought farmers over, was placed in Chizhuang, and two of them were sent to help as accountants. A distant relative of the Zhang family, he is honest.

Qian Mingshu helped match the goods of the two stores, and led a group of brothers from logistics to purchase. He still had some greedy thoughts in his heart. Xia Baian turned a blind eye to this, and only let Qian Mingshu be careful.

Qian Mingshu saw that Xia Bai'an was either in the field every day, or wandering between the shop and the pool, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"You really can't rest at all. You didn't have any meat on your face, but now the veins on the back of your thin hands are all exposed."

Xia Bai'an just came out of the field, holding on to the hoe helplessly, and said with a smile: "You still talk about me, you used to be tall and fat, but now you are as thin as a bamboo pole, and there is no flesh on your face, and your jawline is bigger than mine. The plan is still obvious."

Qian Mingshu lifted his chin proudly: "I'll take it as you are praising me."

"I was just praising you, give me a hand."

Xia Bai'an stretched out his hand towards him.

Smiling, Qian Mingshu stretched out his arm for her to support, pulled her out from the muddy ground, and asked her, "Is there no reply from Master yet? How about we ask for some news and go ask for it ourselves?"

"He doesn't want to reply. Naturally, he has his own ideas and doesn't force him."

What Xia Bai'an said was calm.

But Qian Mingshu could obviously feel the strength of her pressing his arm, which was obviously a bit too much.

Qian Mingshu changed the topic: "You will see Zhang Qianqian come back later, remember to go to Chenxiang Pavilion."

"What happened to Chenxiang Pavilion?"

"It's not that Yunxue and Huang Min have nothing to do. Huang Min's shop has people coming to make trouble every three days. It seems that the cash cow just bought in front of the door was smashed today. The clerk moved his hand and told you to go to the town. place."

As Qian Mingshu said, he handed her a towel from the side.

Xia Bai'an took it, wiped off the sweat from his head, and nodded: "The name of Mrs. Lieutenant is only useful for this, then I'll go to Chizhuang first, your side..."

"Don't nag me! I know what to do, you go!"

Qian Mingshu directly pushed her out, covered her ears and ran away.

Behind them, Mo Qian and Mo Yu, who had been staring at him, also followed. After learning what they should learn, they followed Qian Mingshu to talk about goods every day.

Xia Bai'an laughed, and came to the front yard, only to see Granny Liang and the sacrificial mother-in-law learning to sew clothes, Wu Yue was watching, and everyone else went to work on their own.

Xia Bai'an could only call Tang Song for a walk.

When the two came to Chizhuang again, Tang Song realized that there were several more rooms in the Zhuangzi, and he was puzzled: "Why are there more rooms? Do Chizhuang need so many people?"

"Of course I need it! There are quite a few farmers I taught to set off!"

Zhang Qianqian's flamboyant voice came from inside.

Xia Bai'an heard the sound and looked, the girl rushed over with a smile, and threw herself into her arms: "Sister Xia!"

Mr. Zhang really spoiled her.

Xia Bai'an laughed, rubbed her head, and after getting acquainted with each other, he took Tang Song to see the remaining rooms, explaining: "There are two rooms for the farmers, one for the seed warehouse, and one for Qianqian and It's fine for the maids to use alone."

"It's not enough." Zhang Qianqian put her hips on her hips and looked at the farmland behind her with a smile, "We have to build some small houses in these fields and send people to guard the things in the fields, otherwise there are so many herbs here, someone will come Stealing would be bad."

Xia Bai'an nodded: "Do as you say."

Both of them are not very old, but they do things well.

Xia Bai'an lamented that Zhang Qianqian was no longer that ignorant girl who was careful in doing things.

Zhang Qianqian was shocked that Xia Bai'an was able to acquire such a large family business, so he kept praising her.

When eating at noon, Zhang Qianqian still looked at Tang Song: "You look a little older than me, why don't you know anything?"

The air on the dining table froze instantly.

The corner of Xia Bai'an's mouth twitched, this child... his mouth is as poisonous as ever.

Tang Song blushed when he was told.

Li Fugui next to him was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "I'm older than you, and I don't know anything."

Wang Mang also patted Tang Song on the back: "Well, if you know everything when you are old, you can do everything alone, and you don't need to help each other."

Zhang Qianqian pursed her mouth: "You men are all in the same group, so you know how to protect each other."

Xia Bai'an laughed, and gave her food: "I'm with you, let's isolate them next time."

"It's better for sister Xia." Zhang Qianqian smiled, and suddenly took out a silver longevity lock from his arms, "Sister, see if this is something that any of you missed here, I took someone to dig it up It was brought out in time, and it was buried very deep."

longevity lock?

No one here has a baby at home.

Xia Bai'an took a look at the longevity lock, and immediately frowned.

Wang Mang and Li Fugui glanced at it, but said, "Because when the longevity lock was dug out, it seemed that the workmanship was not bad. Let's guess, maybe you bought it for some boss, and the leak is here."

"It's probably not something I can afford." Xia Bai'an shook his head helplessly, "This silver thread is so lifelike and hollow, it's thinner than a hair. In addition... there are several blessing characters hidden under the silver thread. The characters are small and exquisite. It feels very smooth, without any edges and corners missed by polishing, which is definitely not something that ordinary craftsmen can make."

Everyone looked at each other.

Tang Song asked: "If you say that, could it be the Xia family..."

"This craft, let alone the Xia family, even if you sold all my family's belongings, you can't find such a craftsman." Xia Bai'an secretly marveled, if this thing was unearthed in modern times, it would be difficult to reproduce Craftsmanship, not to mention ancient times, such things are even more valuable.

Tang Song frowned: "If it wasn't the Xia family, then the one who lived here before was..."

"It belongs to the prime minister's house." Xia Bai'an gave the answer, and wrapped the longevity lock with a handkerchief, "Eat first, I'll send someone to look it up later, maybe it's because I read it wrong and I'm not sure."

Everyone started eating again.

However, Xia Bai'an's neck felt a little swollen, and she always felt that she had seen this longevity lock somewhere.
