When she learned that the academy wanted to order multiple sets of building blocks for the children to learn, Qiao Mian thought about it and asked the carpenter to rush out [-] sets of cumbersome building blocks for the academy.

Mrs. Liu was grateful, and although Mr. He didn't say anything, there was always a team of shops patrolling outside the Shanmian Children's Fun Shop and Shanmian Drinks every noon and evening from then on.

Sometimes, they even escort the embroidered mother-in-law who lives far away to go home.

Shanmian Children's Fun Workshop is in full swing, and Lieshan's Jade Raw Materials Pavilion is also quietly opening next door.

After Tongqufang's business got on the right track, Qiao Mian seldom visited the shop, but discussed with Carpenter Chen about the decoration of Yushi Pavilion.

The Jade Stone Pavilion is divided into two floors. The repaired jade stones are placed on the first floor, and a huge cabinet is buckled from the front wall. There are countless small squares inside, just like a museum shelf.

And jade stones of various colors are placed in the grid.

The second floor is used for meeting guests and discussing business. There are also snacks and snacks of mountain cotton drinks.

The Jade Raw Materials Pavilion is different from other shops in their family. It was opened without much fanfare, so this directly led to almost no one interested in the jade business.

Qiao Mian rolled into Lie Shan's arms and said excitedly, "I thought of something!"

Lie Shan likes to see Fulang's little money fan, and smiles in his deep eyes, "Say it."

"Let's hold a jade appreciation banquet!" Qiao Mian became more and more excited as he said, "We not only entertain rich merchants from Shun'an, but also rich households from Liuzhen, Wuzhen, and Chengma Town. Merchants from these towns have all sent The servants came to ask if we would like to sell the prescription of mountain cotton drink, and with our family's current reputation, those wealthy households would like to cooperate with us, so they will definitely give this face."

"By the way, Mr. He also wants to invite you."

Lie Shan frowned, and hugged Fulang's waist tightly, "Why did you invite him?"

Qiao Mian chuckled, "Who doesn't want to curry favor with officials these days? Besides..." He grabbed Lie Shan's ear and whispered something.

Lie Shan frowned, and there was a little smile in his eyes, "Really?"

Qiao Mian laughed, "My eyes can never make a mistake. I was the one who saw Song Boze and Tang Qing at the time!" He sighed again, "The eldest girl in our family can't be kept."

Lie Shan smiled, "This is a good thing."

"Liu Shuniang! Where are you going?"

With the booming business, the embroidery room of Tongqufang has doubled in size. Now there are forty or fifty embroiderers, and half of them come from Daxiufang in the town. The usual rewards almost catch up with their previous half a month of silver!

Mrs. Lin and Aunt Fat don't work or go to the shop to sell goods, but specialize in supervising and managing Xiuniang.

Mrs. Lin no longer looked as weak and unruly as before, she frowned and asked, "Where are you going?"

Liu Shuniang squinted her waist, clutched her stomach, and pretended to groan, "Boss Lin, I have diarrhea after eating too much food! Yes, or else, deduct all my wages for today, I want to go home and rest!" "

Mrs. Lin looked her around, her face was not very good, "You have been absent from work many times this month, if there is a next time, don't come here!"

Liu Shuniang lowered her head and curled her lips resentfully, and when she raised her face, she looked sad again, "Okay, okay, thank you, Steward Lin."

As soon as Liu Shuniang left, the fat aunt brought a embroiderer over. The two had worked together for so long, and they could tell each other's thoughts with just a look.

The two took Xiuniang outside, and Mrs. Lin looked at Xiuniang carefully, "Are you Xiaoyun sitting next to Liu Shuniang?"

Xiaoyun nodded, "Yes, Steward Lin."

Aunt Fat always had a serious smile on her face, "Xiaoyun tell me what you see."

Xiaoyun hummed, "I didn't see her when I had lunch today. Every time I eat, she is not the first to grab the food, but also the second. Anyway, I will never let myself suffer. I will keep an eye out for such an abnormality. I didn't see her when I returned to the embroidery room. She didn't come until everyone started working, and she looked nervous. I glanced at her and saw her sleeves were bulging. When she saw me looking at her, she explained that she was For lunch, this is the jujube cake she bought. But what I heard was the sound of a lot of paper rattling!"

Mrs. Lin's complexion changed, "Fat Auntie, go and ask the carpenter if there is any missing picture! I'll go find shopkeeper Qiao!"

Aunt Fat also knew that things were not easy and quickly agreed.

At this time, Qiao Mian was discussing with Tang Qing Song Boze about the jade feast. Among them, Song Boze was a real rich boy who had participated in many flower feasts and moon feasts.

Song Boze was indeed very handy, and he spoke clearly and logically, which also let Qiao Mian know that it was really not easy to hold a good banquet.

The three of them talked very happily, and then heard the mother-in-law come to report, "Steward Lin from Tongqufang is here."

Mrs. Lin came in with a serious face, and looked at Tang Qing and Song Boze with some hesitation when she spoke.

Qiao Mian said, "They're all from my own family, but it's okay to say."

Mrs. Lin repeated what Xiaoyun said, and said, "Shopkeeper, this Liu Shuniang has appointed a ghost."

Qiao Mian pondered for a while, "Miss Lin, go and call the carpenter and let's block her." He looked at Tang Qing again, "Qingqing, report to the authorities!"

Tang Qing was taken aback, "This, is it so serious?"

Qiao Mian's eyes were ruthless, "Not only must this little thief be caught, but also the big thief behind her must be dragged out!"

It is said that Liu Shuniang brought her things out of the Children's Fun Workshop, her hunched waist straightened up immediately, she glanced vaguely at the gray-clothed man opposite the shop at the door, and walked towards the agreed direction with her head down.

After walking for a while, Yue Mo stopped at a dilapidated alley.

The gray-clothed man said anxiously, "What about the cumbersome building block blueprints! Give them to me!"

Liu Shuniang took a step back, stretched out her hand and said, "Give me the remaining 300 taels!"

The man in gray took out a heavy purse from his chest and threw it into Liu Shuniang's hands, "Here you are!"

Liu Shuniang took the silver in surprise and put it on the pad, and took a step back, "Give me another 100 taels!"

The man in gray couldn't bear it anymore, "Liu Shuniang, don't be too greedy, give it to me quickly, when I just came here, I saw police patrolling, don't hurt yourself because of ink stains!"

Liu Shuniang snorted, "Stop lying to me. I've been playing around with that lady in broken shoes. How could she find out? In order to help you steal things, I pretend to have diarrhea every day, and I miss good food every day. You must not compensate me!"

The man in gray clenched his fists tightly, took off a jade pendant from his waist and threw it to her, "Give it to me!"

Liu Shuniang rubbed the jade pendant, grinning to the point of her ears, "It's not bad, I've saved all this nonsense!" As she spoke, she stuffed the thick stack of blueprints to the gray-clothed man, "Here you are!" , Here you go, if you have this matter in the future, come back to me."

The man in gray held the blueprint and sneered, "I still want to have a next time, please ask yourself!"

The two walked in two different directions, Liu Shuniang shook the silver with one hand and the jade pendant with the other, thinking of going to Yuqiao Store to buy some pearl hairpins first, and then go to the restaurant for a good meal!

But before he walked out of the alley, he was surrounded by a group of people.

Aunt Fat followed the police, and when she saw Liu Shuniang, she immediately yelled, "Master, that's Liu Shuniang, catch her quickly!"

Liu Shuniang was so frightened that her face turned pale and she just wanted to turn around and run, but she was kicked by the fat aunt, "You are a thief! Where are you going!"

The gray-clothed man bumped into Qiao Mian and a group of tall and burly carpenters as he was walking on the road.

Qiao Mian and the others didn't pay attention to this person at all at first, until they suddenly saw someone running away in a hurry, and then they suddenly became alert, "That person is suspicious, go, go after him!"

The two were arrested at the same time, and after finding out the evidence, both of them were pressed into the mud with their necks pressed.

Liu Shuniang cried loudly, "Shopkeeper Qiao, shopkeeper Qiao, please forgive me! I was wrong, I was wrong!"

The man in gray was so frightened that his face turned blue, "It's wrong...it's wrong!"

Qiao Mian said coldly, "Send off to the official!"

A group of people went to the government in a hurry, and Liu Shuniang, who was trembling, was almost frightened out of her courage by the "mighty and mighty" knocking on the ground with a cold stick.

Before Mr. He could interrogate him more, he made a sudden move.

It turned out that she conspired with someone to steal the blueprints half a month ago. The man said that as long as she stole the blueprints, she would give her 500 taels of silver. She was blinded by profit/lust, and jumped into the locked room during lunch time after several visits. Steal the blueprints.

This is not the first time Mr. He has dealt with this kind of domestic servant theft case, and after losing money, it usually only hits forty boards.

But when Qiao Mian took out the paperwork agreement signed when he hired the embroiderer, it was written in black and white that he would betray the family owner and steal the stolen goods.

When Liu Shuniang heard the news, she immediately collapsed on the ground.

And when Lady Lin saw the man in gray, her eyes were burning with hatred.

This man is the only son of the owner of Mihang's natal family!

Not only did their family defraud the couple of their rent, but they also sent someone to injure her husband. If it wasn't for the shopkeeper Joe's relief, they don't know if she would have survived!

The Wang couple knelt at the county government office to cry out for injustice, but the evidence was solid, so there was no place for them to point fingers at the criminal law.

In the end, the poor man was beaten fifty times, and he had to pay Qiao's family 300 taels of silver. If he didn't pay for more than a hundred days, he would be detained for one year.

The matter has come to an end here, and it has also sounded a wake-up call for the contract guys who have signed an agreement with Tongqufang and Shanmian Beverage!

Qiao Mian later lamented that it was fortunate that he discovered it in time and did not cause any losses. Otherwise, if the blueprints of the building blocks spread, the only advantage of their children's fun workshop would be lost. After all, there are already shops imitating their dolls.

In the end, he gave Mrs. Lin and Aunt Fatty 50 taels each as a reward from the money the Wang family compensated.

After this unpleasant episode, the Jade Appreciation Banquet hosted by Qiao's family also started on Fangfei's Day in April.

What Qiao Mian didn't expect was that more people actually came than the ones invited, and there were even people from Fucheng who came here admiringly.

Except for the people from other towns, the father and son of Shen's family in Yuqiaosi, Mr. He and Master Li, the shopkeeper of Baoyu Pavilion, and prominent businessmen in the town all came.

The Jade Appreciation Banquet will be held in Qiao's residence.

Since the business of the Children's Fun Workshop was booming, Qiao Mian also sold the house next door. The two houses were redecorated and merged into one house.

The front yard is used for living, and the back yard is built into a medium-sized waterside garden, which can be used for banquets.

There are moss roads, banana trees, carved beams and painted buildings, and many rockeries.

The carefully sorted jade stones were placed in the garden houses, and two or three servants were sent to guard each room.
