If the business woman does not help the poor, the villain's dream of prosperity will be shatter

father?!

Xu Jiu was stunned for a moment before he stammered, "Ah, um, uh, they want to stay at our house for a few days."

Qin Shu smiled and said, "So the uncle's son is also at home? I wonder what this big brother's name is?"

Xu Jiu subconsciously looked at the man.

The man smiled and cupped his hands, "I am Xu Dashan."

The gesture of saluting was so skillful that it didn't seem like that of an ordinary mountain farmer, but more like that of a chivalrous knight.

Qin Shu let out a long "Oh" and raised the silver in her hand, "Then, Brother Xu, can you lend us your yard for two days? This is the rent, we'll only stay for two nights."

Xu Dashan stretched out his hand with his palm facing up.

Keep your palms facing up and avoid physical contact with women when receiving money.

He knows the rules well.

Qin Shu smiled again, put the silver in Xu Dashan's palm, and bowed to him, "Then, thank you for your help."

Xu Dashan smiled and said, "You're welcome."

He tugged at Xu Jiu and said, "Dad, please stay at your son's house for two days. Come back after the guests leave."

Xu Jiu nodded hesitantly and followed "Xu Dashan" out of the yard.

After the two of them left the yard, Qin Shu chuckled and said to Fu Ying, who was silent beside her: "This father and son are quite interesting. I don't know if the father is too young or the son is growing up too fast."

Fu Ying turned his face to the side, closed his eyes slightly, and whispered to Qin Shu.

Qin Shu understood and quickly shut up, breathing lightly subconsciously.

After a while, Fu Ying opened his eyes and winked at Dongping.

Dongping stepped forward, took a deep breath, and landed lightly on the roof of the west wing.

As a result, before anyone could get down, the roof had already collapsed.

It should be that when the house was built, there were only beams and purlins, but no rafters.

The purpose is to guard against people who jump onto the roof and peek.

Dongping had no choice but to go back into the yard, passed the muddy water in the southwest corner, and his figure flashed at the corner of the wall and disappeared.

But he returned in a moment.

Dong Ping lowered his voice and bowed to the two men, saying, "There is a cliff outside the west side of this courtyard. There is a flat land at the foot of the mountain with traces of carriages on the ground. There is someone in the forest, and it seems that he has been watching this side. Just now, when I leaned forward, I was almost discovered."

It seems that the other party knows their identity and has been keeping an eye on this yard.

Qin Shu didn't care at all.

Anyway, her current purpose is just to make all the officials in Linbei Road who are involved in the illegal salt trafficking suspicious and fearful.

As long as they focused on how to stop her from investigating the salt well, they had no time to worry about anything else.

Well, there is also her Jiedu Mansion, the renovation progress should be very fast.

And she doesn't have to spend any money.

Very good!

On the other side, Mo Laowu had already started to collect their spoils of the day: six pheasants, four rabbits, a small wild boar weighing less than 100 kilograms, and a deer.

Qin Shu and Fu Ying sat in the yard, studying the musket that Fu Ying had improved.

In fact, Qin Shu thought about buying better-made and more accurate guns directly from the space.

But it’s too expensive!

Even if she exchanged all the silver in her hand into plane coins, she still couldn't put together a musketeer team.

Especially since she spent a lot of money to get a few big ones.

The remaining plane coins, plus the jewelry and jade items sold in her online store a few days ago, were not much left after buying those big things.

There is also her exclusive space transmission channel, and the maintenance fee has just been renewed.

It was the first time that Qin Shu felt how poor she was.

If Fu'er could successfully make a musket, she would be able to save a lot of money.

So, after returning to Jinzhou from the capital, Qin Shu bought a flintlock rifle that was collected by someone else from Old Han in the space at a high price.

Fu Rong actually made a similar one.

Unfortunately, making bullets is a big problem.

Qin Shu didn’t understand, so she could only buy the structure and production drawings from Lao Han and give them to Fu Ying.

There is no rush for these things. There is plenty of time for Fu Ying to study them slowly.

The aroma of barbecue wafted over soon.

The fresh and tender pheasant is spread with honey and baked until it is golden and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Tear open the sizzling, fragrant puff pastry, and you will find the juicy, tender and delicious meat inside.

Sprinkle with chili powder and salt.

It's so delicious that you can swallow it with your tongue.

Qin Shu ate a chicken leg, a piece of pork leg, and a few bites of venison.

I drank a few cups of the Lihuabai that I brought.

The alcohol was getting to his head and he was a little tipsy.

Qingsang and Qingliu rolled up the things on the bed in the main room and put them in the west wing.

He also used a whole piece of felt to cover the floor of the room and covered all the tables and chairs in the room with clean cloth.

After carefully fumigating the room with incense, he took out the quilt, mattress and pillow he had brought with him, re-made the bed and hung up clean curtains.

Finally, he took out the copper basin, scented soap, handkerchief, toothpaste and toothbrush, copper mirror, balm and other items he brought from the Yanzhou Governor's Mansion and helped Qin Shu wash up.

After Qin Shu fell asleep, Qingsang moved a small stool and sat not far from the couch, using a swatter to drive away flying insects.

Fu Ying laid down on the chicken bus in the yard with his clothes on, crossed his arms over his chest, and dozed off.

The whole yard fell into silence.

The patrol soldiers and other guards stayed in the woods outside the yard, sitting in groups of three or two with their backs leaning against each other.

Just at this moment, a figure poked his head and walked over.

As soon as he stepped onto the path in front of the courtyard gate, Wang Lu opened his eyes and stared at Xu Jiu coldly, "What are you doing?!"

Xu Jiu tried hard to put on a smile that was uglier than crying, and asked with a forced smile: "Sir, you guys, aren't you going hunting?"

Wang Lu snorted and said, "If the master says to go, then I will go. If the master doesn't want to go, then I won't go. What does it have to do with you?"

He sat up straight and said coldly, "This yard has been rented by my master. No outsiders are allowed to approach! If you dare to ask around again, I will treat you as a Northern Barbarian spy and arrest you! Retreat!"

Xu Jiu was so frightened that he shuddered, and quickly put his hands in his sleeves, bent his back and slowly retreated.

He slid and slid down the mountain along a steep path.

Soon they reached the foot of the mountain, and Xu Jiu took advantage of the shade of the trees and quickly slipped into the cave.

Li Yi came up to him quickly and asked quietly, "How is it?"

Xu Jiu smacked his lips and said in the same tone, "It seems like they went to sleep after eating. These rich people really know how to enjoy themselves. They even have to take a nap in the afternoon."

"The courtyard is very quiet, and the soldiers outside are resting in the woods. Brother, is our guy going to come out?"

Li Yi's head was as big as an ox. He turned around in place and sighed continuously, "How can I get out like this? The slightest noise will attract people. Wouldn't that just be a good way to catch them?"

He thought for a moment and said, "I have sent someone back to the city to report the news. Let's see how the adults will arrange it."

He then pulled over a yamen runner at the cave entrance and said, "Go to the valley entrance and see if there are any people coming from either end."

Those who came to receive the goods came from the south, and those who returned to the city to report the news came from the north.

But it looks like there’s no way we can ship this batch of goods before that group of people overhead leave.
