When Wuqing received the news, there were still many customers in the store still talking about the good show just now.

Ordinary people have never seen so much money in their lives, and they never tire of repeating it over and over again.

Everyone is always very keen on this kind of thing, especially when it comes to men and women with a bit of peachy sex, a little bit of rumors can spread the nose is not the nose and the eyes are not the eyes, not to mention that the blatant show of friendship was also attracted by many people. I see, looking at their concealed and excited expressions, you can see how excited these people are.

Many people also heard her last sentence, fiance?A girl would never say such things casually, so is it true?

Therefore, when Wuqing walked in, many surprised and appreciative eyes kept turning between the two of them.

The fiancé Tan shopkeeper mentioned just now, wouldn't it be Ruthless, the head of the four famous arresters in the Shenhou Mansion?

Seeing the frosty look on the face of the big catcher when he came in, he must know that his fiancée is provoking love outside, and he will come over and get angry.

Quite a few people shook their heads secretly. Which man can bear his woman's unclear relationship with other men? Although he refused just now, but flies don't bite seamless eggs, so it must be what she did , or said something suggestive to give people that illusion, otherwise she is a woman who shows her face, no matter how beautiful she is, it is impossible for people to give her so much money for nothing.

Women, it's better to keep yourself safe.

There is more than one person who thinks this way. It should be said that most of the people present are like this. Fortunately, Tan Xiao doesn't have the ability to read minds, otherwise this meeting would have driven people out with a broom.

Hearing that the big catcher said in a bad tone that she would go in for a conversation, everyone thought that she would definitely be scolded, and if it was more serious, she might be annulled. A person's footsteps have been slowly moving towards the lounge, trying to hear something through the door.

Wuqing was indeed a little angry, but it was not the reason those people thought. As soon as the door was closed and all eyes were cut off, Tan Xiao was stunned when he opened his mouth.

"I know everything. This man...he is the official."

"He is Zhao Ji?!" She exclaimed, "There is something wrong with him, I know he is unreliable, but an emperor comes out all day looking for flowers and asking Liu, and even harassing girls from good families, isn't that a bit outrageous!"

He ruthlessly rubbed his forehead, Zhao Ji's virtues, he was obviously clear, and there were countless flaws in his heart, but he couldn't say that he was wrong.

"But don't worry, although the official family... has become a bit romantic, but they never force women into the palace. He should not do anything in the future."

Tan Xiao nodded slightly in disgust, "It's considered that he has done some personnel work. Since he is Zhao Ji, I finally understand why I hate him so much when I see him. Even when I think of Cai Jing and Qin Hui, they don't have such a strong reaction. .”

She pinched her chin and bowed her head in thought, with inexplicable thoughts in her eyes and a complicated expression. She patted her head helplessly and said, "This matter can't be done."

"You know what I'm thinking?" She looked up at him in surprise.

Sighing ruthlessly, he said softly, "What you're thinking about is how to get rid of future troubles forever. Everyone else can, but he can't, at least not now."

As a person who has accepted the Confucian idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor since he was a child and grew up working for the court, such a rebellious and immoral thing as killing the king is unthinkable, let alone done. You can get by, and you can get by this day.

Even with such miraculous skills, they could kill him silently, but they couldn't pass the test in their hearts at all.

Tan Xiao keenly grasped the meaning of his words, and asked, "It's not possible now, do you mean it will be possible in the future?"

Wuqing doesn't want to admit it, but judging from what he has learned about the future, Zhao Ji is really useless, and there is no way to change it. His existence will only make many things more difficult.

He whispered, "Unless it is absolutely necessary, I don't want to... Uncle Shi and the others also mean the same thing."

But he also knew in his heart that it might be inevitable to get to that step. To do this kind of thing with his own hands, even if it hadn't happened, he felt uncomfortable.

Seeing that he was not in high spirits, Tan Xiao hurriedly said, "Forget it, since he won't come again, let's not talk about him anymore, so as not to affect our mood."

Rolling her eyes, she suddenly asked, "You finally came here, do you want to see something interesting with me?"

Ruthless was indeed aroused, he raised his eyebrows suspiciously, obviously interested in the interesting things she said.

Tan Xiao smiled mysteriously, "Just follow me."

As soon as the door of the lounge opened, many people who were lingering at the door wanting to take the opportunity to listen to it uncomfortably looked away and left as if nothing had happened.

She looked annoyed and helpless, she couldn't be expected to talk to a bunch of ancients about privacy and respect, as long as she didn't get in the way, she just turned a blind eye and closed it.

The facade on Yunshang is very large, even though there are many tables, chairs and sofas in the front hall, there are still many vacant places in the back.

It also has to be said that the system is perfect in terms of area division and setting, especially when going down the stairs from the bedroom, that area is not directly facing the dining area and the waiting area, and a certain amount of privacy is reserved for the owner.

Turning the corner, she went upstairs with Wuqing. He knew that she usually rested upstairs, but the area of ​​the second floor was the same as that of the first floor. Wuqing always thought that apart from the sleeping place, there was a part of it used for other things. The guest reception room or something, so when he walked all the way up, he didn't expect to go to her bedroom at all.

Until he entered the door and saw the strange big bed in the middle of the house, he couldn't help but get a little powder on his ears.

The fact that a girl invites a man to her boudoir has too many meanings to interpret.

He whispered uncomfortably, "Xiaoxiao, where is the thing you want to show me?"

It's better to read it quickly and get out. If this kind of thing gets out, it will be extremely bad for her reputation.

Tan Xiao didn't notice this at all, she took him by the hand and walked around the room, showing him all kinds of things in later generations like offering treasures.

"Look at this pipe, you can unscrew it and you can get water and hot water. Isn't it very convenient? The time-consuming and laborious work of digging a well to fetch water will never be needed in future generations."

Ruthlessly asked, "Can everyone afford something like this?"

Tan Xiao raised his chest proudly, "Of course, this is called tap water. Even in the most remote mountainous areas, the government has connected them to tap water pipes. Of course, there are still a very small number of extremely poor areas that have not yet used it. But that’s only a matter of time.”

Nodding ruthlessly and clearly, he was shocked more times, and now he can look at these things with a curious and learning attitude.

"There is also this, called paper towels, which are used to wipe things. At that time, no one would wear handkerchiefs. Feel it, isn't it very soft?"

Ruthlessly touched it with his hands. Although it was not as delicate as the silk cloth, it was not rough at all. He asked, "You say this is paper?"

"That's right." Tan Xiao nodded, "This is a kind of household paper, which cannot be used for writing. It is something that every household cannot do without."

She nodded ruthlessly to show she understood, and she continued to introduce, "There is this one hanging on the wall, guess what it is used for?"

Ruthlessly took a step closer to observe, the hangings on the wall are very delicate, and storytelling works of art can also be used.

There were some symbols he didn't recognize on the big disc, and three sticks of different lengths and thicknesses were moving slowly with exactly the same rhythm.

He pondered for a long time, and suddenly there was a glimmer of understanding in his mind, and he said, "Could it be a tool for timing?"

"That's right, you're so smart!" She rewarded him with a kiss with a smile, and as the latter's eyes gradually deepened, she stepped on a stool to take down the clock hanging on the wall, and gave him a close-up explanation.

Pointing to the numbers and hands on the dial, she explained to him one by one, "In later generations, people divide a day into 24 hours, each hour is 60 minutes, and 1 minute is 60 seconds. Look at this number, it is 1, In this way, counting down, it is 1 to 24..."

When I came into contact with Arabic numerals for the first time, Ruthless immediately realized that if this weird symbol is used in counting, especially in accounting, it is much simpler than Chinese characters and looks more intuitive.

He silently memorized the shapes of these symbols, and was going to go back and try the effect.

As she talked about the precise division of the 24-hour system, he realized how much it would improve work efficiency. With a slight thought, he blurted out and asked, "This kind of thing doesn't seem difficult to make, and it can be tried by craftsmen." for a while?"

Tan Xiao shook his head regretfully, and said, "Unfortunately, no, the principle here is simple, but the gears that support the operation of these pointers cannot be manufactured with such precision at the current level of technology."

She took the back cover off and showed him how it worked inside.

The extremely fine machinery is closely connected with each other, and the sound of regular and tiny gear rotation is intertwined into an unparalleled industrial beauty.

Just that small gear, behind it is a thousand-year technological gap that is enough to make people despair.

Ruthless observed carefully for a long time with great hopes, and finally had no choice but to give up the idea just now.

Tan Xiao handed him the alarm clock on the bedside table, and said, "This is for you, it's just right for your study, so you can keep track of the time accurately."

With a disapproving look on Wuqing's face, he said, "This is too expensive, I can't take it."

She said with a deep smile, "To tell you the truth, none of the things in this room are valuable. Without them, I would have a second and a third."

"So..." Wuqing lowered his head and pondered, and he suddenly said, "In this way, the 10 taels of silver that Sikong Zhaixing paid..."

"Ah, this..." Tan Xiao scratched his head, embarrassed for a while, "It's so good, why did you bring this up suddenly... Hero Sikong wiped out so many sneaky Xiaoxiao for me by himself, and he gave the money voluntarily , I didn't force him..."

He looked at him with a half-smile and raised eyebrows ruthlessly, "Yes, he did it voluntarily."

Thinking of something, she looked confident again, "That's right, it's all thanks to the righteous arrester. If it weren't for you to uphold justice for me, maybe I wouldn't even get a penny."

Wuqing knew long ago that she didn't pay much attention to the broken lamp. At that time, she just thought it might be because she was used to seeing it, so she didn't take it to heart, but she never thought that it would be completely worthless.

Thinking that he cheated Sikong Zhaixing so much money without knowing it, he was also quite helpless, and thought in his heart that if we meet in the future, he should treat him better.

So when he left ruthlessly, he held a bunch of things in his hand, such as mirrors, alarm clocks, hand sanitizer tissues, and so on.

That night, Ruthless, who honestly followed the doctor's advice and rested on time for several months, stayed up late again.

Although he has always been mature and steady, but well, young people still have some curiosity, right?

Zhao Ji didn't come over to make people hate him in the next few days, and Tan Xiao's impression of the bottom of the valley was increased by 0.5, at least he didn't rob the women, so he did something.

The turmoil he brought was gradually forgotten.

However, Zhao Ji stopped, and other ghosts and snake spirits came up again.

In the morning, not long after the door opened, there were not many people in the store. After breakfast, Tan Xiao went back to the bedroom, planning to practice calligraphy in the morning.

There was a sudden knock on the bedroom door, and Lu Chen shouted outside, "Boss, someone is looking for you."

Her first reaction was that the friends she knew were dressed appropriately and went downstairs to see a woman she didn't know.

"Auntie, what do you need from me?" She asked suspiciously.

The woman didn't answer, but looked her over from the beginning to the end, with a satisfied smile in her eyes, and then said, "This must be the famous shopkeeper Tan? My family name is Xu, and I would like to congratulate you first." .”

Tan Xiao was even more inexplicable, she was at a loss, "What am I happy about?"

Mrs. Xu pursed her lips and said enthusiastically, "Good girl, you, but luck has come, and you can't stop it. The servant's family was entrusted by Mr. Wang, the doctor of Guanglu, to be a matchmaker for the second son of his family. The second son is We are one of the best good men in the entire capital, capable of writing and martial arts, and he is extremely considerate to women, if you go to his house, you will really fall into the nest of fortune."

Tan Xiao was even more surprised. Doctor Guanglu and the second son, they had never met before, and they suddenly ran over and said that they wanted to marry him. Is an arranged marriage just so casual and capricious?

Could it be that when did she accidentally meet herself once, and then fell into lovesickness when she returned home, and then Feiqing stopped marrying?

Although it was nonsense, this was the most reasonable explanation she could think of so far.

She looked puzzled, "But I have never seen the second son you mentioned, how old is he, and what is his name?"

Mrs. Xu smiled, "Second Young Master is less than 25 this year, which is just right for your age. You, you will be settled for the rest of your life."

Tan Xiao didn't like to listen to this man's speech, every word made her feel uncomfortable, so she said bluntly, "Then I can only trouble you to say sorry to Second Young Master for me, I already have a fiancé."

Mrs. Xu was very surprised, "You have a fiancé? Who is it?"

Tan Xiao frowned, "I don't seem to need to tell you this."

Mrs. Xu thought that she was just a merchant woman, and her fiancé must also be a lowly merchant family, so she said without any worries, "My good girl, this person will live a lifetime. If you choose the right path, the future will be much easier. If you learn Those ladies in the play are so reckless for a poor man, and they can't let go of a good life. This is stupid. I think you are ice-snow smart, so I told you these heart-wrenching words. You should also understand yourself How to choose."

She glanced at Mrs. Xu with a half-smile, and temporarily suppressed the idea of ​​asking someone out. She always had an intuition that this matter was not that simple.

"Miss Xu, I naturally know how to choose the best one. I only have one question, please answer it for me. Since the second son of Wang is so old, why haven't you married yet?"

Mrs. Xu said in surprise, "Who said the second son is not married yet? Of course he is. The young master is five years old now."

"He's married!" Tan Xiao couldn't help but shouted loudly, "Then what does he mean by calling you over, asking me to be his concubine?"

Mrs. Xu was surprised at first, and then she seemed to understand, and said with a bit of a smile on her face, "I said girl, in your capacity, it would be flattering to be a concubine at Dr. If you want to be a good lady, you better stop daydreaming."

She looked him up and down again, with imperceptible disdain in his eyes, as if to say, you deserve it?

Tan Xiao suppressed her anger, she went through the whole thing in her mind, and felt that it was weird, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong.

With a sneer, she said again, "Miss Xu, maybe you are too old to hear what I just said. I have a fiancé, and he is Sheng Yayu, the chief arrester of the Shenhou Mansion. The second son of the king who flirts with women and thinks about taking concubines, even if the emperor is here, I also have the same attitude. If you have the ability, let him go directly to the head catcher and let him withdraw our marriage. That's all, please return Bar."

Hearing the name of Shenhou's Mansion, Mrs. Xu's confident face became hesitant again, but thinking of the money that she hadn't got yet and Mr. Wang's words, she struggled for a moment, and still said bravely, "Shenhou No matter how famous the mansion is, Sheng Yayu is still not a head catcher. The Second Young Master will be released to become an official in the next year. I heard that you are not allowed to bring family members with you when you take office. At that time, the Second Young Master is only with you. Hurry up and get pregnant Child, I'm afraid that there will be no good days in the future."

Tan Xiao was unmoved, pointed to the door, and said indifferently, "Please."

Mrs. Xu ignored her at all, and when Tan Xiao yelled "Shen Qing" again, she had no choice but to be kicked out unwillingly.

She has lived a stable life for a long time, and the first time she encountered this kind of thing, she suddenly felt like she had just passed through the day when she was walking on the road, and five days would come up to snatch her back to be a concubine in the n room.

She thought that this matter should end like this. After all, what she said was so clear, there should not be many men who have such a thick skin and courage to compete with the Shenhou Mansion.

At the residence of the doctor of Guanglu Temple.

Wang Zheng just finished discussing with his father, and was walking out of the study to his own room.

Sitting in front of the bronze mirror, Wang gesticulated a pair of earrings. When she saw him come in, she put down her things, turned around angrily and did not speak.

Wang Zheng took off his outer shirt under the servant girl's service, and smiled casually, "What's the matter, why are you upset again, but how did I offend you?"

Wang Shi turned around and looked at him, her eyes were red, she bit her lips and said, "Mr. Lang, I heard that the woman my father asked you to marry is very beautiful..."

Wang Zheng took a sip of the tea slowly, and said with a smile, "I've never seen you so jealous before, and you didn't ask much about the woman who was admitted into this room."

Wang said, "None of your women is as beautiful as her and can do business. My maidservants said that the woman is extremely beautiful, and they have never seen such a beautiful woman." woman."

"It's just a shop on the left and right. If you like it, I'll give it to you when she enters the door." Wang Zheng said lightly.

Wang's face showed some satisfaction, and she said with a smile, "Your Majesty promised me, and I can't go back on it in the future. I still like her dim sum very much, but I have to queue up every time, and I can't eat it immediately when I want to eat it." Eat it, she is really a girl who doesn't understand the rules, she has no manners, with our family background, there should be a special place for receiving distinguished guests, and it is for us to supply it alone. My maids have to queue for a long time every time they go out. buy it."

She continued, "Lang Jun, tell me, after I take over this shop, I will increase the price of everything several times, and only sell it to nobles and official families, and never sell it to those mud legs. Isn't it much more upright?"

Wang Zheng also thought about her suggestion seriously, and praised, "Your idea is good. In this way, those wives and ladies will also appreciate our kindness. Also, like Cai Xiang, not only can we not pay a penny Receive, and have to be delivered to the door every day, which is more or less a treat.”

Mrs. Wang was extremely happy. Although she had never been to Yunshang in person, she often heard the maids say how good the business there was. When she took over, she would definitely be able to add a lot of private money to herself.

From this point of view, it is not a bad thing to let that woman enter the door. After all, it is a concubine. What is a concubine? A plaything that can be beaten and scolded at will. Like those women, all of them are honest like quails, and they can't make any troubles. What's the beauty of Mrs. Tan, without the support of her family, she is just a poor wretch rubbed by everyone. The real purpose of her performance just now is just to think Get a promise from Lang Jun, and give Yunshang to her in the future.

After being quiet for a while, Wang Zheng suddenly asked, "Then Mrs. Tan is really so beautiful?"

Wang turned half of her body and admitted unwillingly, "I heard from the maids that I have never seen such a symbolic figure."

Wang Zheng stroked the short beard on his chin, thinking about the conversation he had just had with his father.

The father and he would do this because of the news that came a few days ago that the official's offer to a woman was rejected.

What kind of woman can refuse such wealth?Even though she didn't know the identity of the official, but she heard that the attendants were holding a lot of jewelry and jewels, the woman was not moved at all.

They checked and found that the woman had close contacts with the Shenhou Mansion, especially Wuqing. The relationship between the two is not a secret. Then thinking about the day Fu met the attack, Wuqing took the woman to Xiangguo Temple to play. They were related, but as a staunch Cai party, my father immediately decided to disgust the Shenhou Mansion and burn the sacrifice for the dead Fu Xiang.

Yes, he and his father decided to do it, for nothing but disgusting people.

Thinking about the sweetheart of the ruthless captor who became his concubine in the house, just thinking about his painful expression can make him eat an extra bowl of rice.

He hadn't thought about the fact that he would be rejected at all. What happened to the concubine? She was also the concubine of the second son of a third-rank official's family. She was no better than a catcher who licked blood on the tip of a knife.

An individual should know how to choose.

Originally, it was just to complete a task, but I didn't expect that the woman was beautiful, which was a pleasant surprise.

He confidently waited for the matchmaker to come and tell him the good news.

There was an unknown fire in Tan Xiao's heart, she endured so much that she was about to get hurt internally, Mrs. Xu's secretly contemptuous and contemptuous eyes aroused the violent factors in her whole body.

She couldn't bear it anymore, she had to think about how to avenge her revenge seamlessly without being discovered by anyone.

But this needs to be discussed with people.

After driving people out, she immediately walked towards Shenhou Mansion.

When she passed by, he bumped into Leng Xue who was about to go out. He looked curiously at her angry expression as if she was about to fight someone, and rarely asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Tan Xiao sneered, and said without hesitation, "It's nothing, it's just that someone pried your brother's corner and asked me to be his concubine."
