Once magnificent, now brilliant

After the Ming Road at home, the two of them have nothing to hide.Of course, this means that when we get along in private, we still abide by the etiquette of classmates outside, and don't let others see anything.

After wearing those two jade crowns for a while, Qi Xiang put them away, for fear of damage, after all, they are very meaningful.Bai Junyu also put his own jade crown together with his, and kept it in the drawer beside Qi Xiang's bed, and took it out to wear every New Year's Day and Qixi Festival.

The new house has good lighting, and Qi Xiang is very comfortable in re-strandizing his armor every day.What he does is fine, and the speed is slower.And the batch from Cailuo Clothing Store has been completed as scheduled.

As the boss, Qi Xiang took advantage of the good weather and went to Cailuo to test the results in person.

The store is full of experienced craftsmen, and these repairs are really hard for them.Qi Xiang took the test and did a good job. I believe there should be no problem with the review by the Ministry of War.

"Very good, everyone has worked hard." Qi Xiang took out a few small purses, "This is a small reward for everyone. After a long-term cooperation is established, I will pack a big one for everyone."

Everyone received the red envelopes and thanked each other with a smile.As long as their hearts are not broken and they can get the approval of their masters, it is one thing for them to rely on their craftsmanship to get rewards. It is their long-term survival to ensure that their reputation for their craftsmanship is not bad.So in this matter, no one dares to be sloppy, more for their own reputation.

After everyone left, Qi Xiang asked Ai Wu, "What's the latest news?"

Ai Wu stands between the marketplaces for the convenience of inquiring, even if it is a small matter, there may be important information hidden.

"A few days ago, Ah Cai was greedy and wanted to eat steamed stuffed buns. When he was going to buy something, he passed by the Second Prince's Mansion, and saw a court lady entering and leaving the Second Prince's Mansion. Ah Cai noticed it, and the palace maid had the sign of Jiao Zhaoyi Palace hanging on her waist. After watching it for a few days, I found that the maid came to the second prince's residence almost every day, and she didn't stay there for a long time. We don't have anyone here, and the young master ordered to keep a low profile recently, so I didn't watch at night. I don't know the specific situation. .”

A palace maid must have a palace card given by her master to pass through the gate of the palace. This cannot be faked.

Ai Wu reported to Qi Xiang one by one, "In addition, the news about General Hu has spread, but there is no news in the palace, and the people are just guessing. General Hu may be out of breath. He drank too much and made trouble three days ago. beat up a scholar."

Qi Xiang frowned, "And then?"

Don't say that military generals can't fight officials, even scholars can't fight.

"General Hu was arrogant at the time, and many people saw it. Originally, this matter should have been impeached, but the next day, Mrs. Hu personally brought a gift and came to apologize. This matter is so private." Ai Wu said.

No wonder he didn't hear, "Scholars have always had a high heart, and they basically don't conspire with warriors. Being beaten for no reason, and even swallowing this breath, this scholar has a wide heart."

Ai Wu lowered his voice and said, "My lord, I heard some gossip. I don't know if it's true. Let me tell you, and you listen."

Qi Xiang nodded.

"I heard that the scholar was attracted by the lady of General Hu's family, and she wanted to marry. General Hu disagreed. Recently, Miss Hu's family has been making a lot of trouble. Coupled with his own affairs, General Hu's mood can be imagined. That day General Hu drank too much, and the scholar saw that he was trying to persuade him with good intentions, but he was beaten." Ai Wu said.After staying in the market for a long time and getting along with the people around him, he naturally knows this kind of gossip quickly.

This makes sense, General Hu is now on the cusp of the storm, so he should restrain himself no matter what.Things that are easy to be impeached like this should not be done.Since he did it recklessly, there must be a greater reason that overshadowed his rationality. If it was because of his daughter's marriage, the drunkenness came up, and it happened to be someone he didn't like, and it was inevitable that he would lose control.

"I'm late, how are they repairing?" Xian Zhen heard his voice before seeing him.The voice fell, and the curtain was lifted and walked in.

Qi Xiang immediately put on a smile, "I did a spot check, and there's nothing wrong with it. Let's wait for the Ministry of War to see it."

"That's good." Xian Xie took off the cloak and handed it to Xiao Song who followed, "What are you talking about?"

Qi Xiang said: "I haven't come here for so long, ask Ai Wu store

Case. "

Xian Xuan nodded, "The off-season business is the same, but it is not difficult to guarantee profits. But it is still necessary to focus on the business of the season. Now that my grandfather is at home every day, he checks how much I have forgotten when he has nothing to do, which makes me worry every day. .”

The Taifu has not lifted the restraint, or the Xian Mansion is still closing its doors to thank guests, so it is not convenient for Qi Xiang to go there, so he only delivered letters to the Taifu a few times.Originally, when the elders had dinner together, the Taifu should also come. He and Bai Junyu are both students of the Taifu, so it is also appropriate for the Taifu to come together when they cross Ming Road.However, considering that it was inconvenient for the Tai Tuo to go out, he had no choice but to give up.

"How is Tai Tuo recently?" Qi Xiang asked.

Xian Xuan nodded with a smile, "It's good. It's cold, and grandfather can rest at home and not worry about the government. After winter, he didn't even have a recurrence of cough. It's very good."

Qi Xiang felt relieved, "That's good. When the fraud is found out, I'll visit the Taifu again. Tell the Taifu for me."

Xian Jue let out a "boom", "You haven't arrived yet, but you let Uncle Pan deliver things to the store from time to time for me to take them back to my grandfather. My grandfather is very happy."

Qi Xiang smiled and nodded, feeling very relaxed.

Xian Xing looked at him, "I said, why do I feel that you look a lot better recently. Is there any happy event?"

Qi Xiang pretended to be stupid, "What happy event? Maybe it's because I've eaten too much medicinal food recently."

This reason really fooled Xianzheng, and he didn't understand, "That's good, you should eat more. Your complexion is better, and you look energetic."

Qi Xiang didn't want to talk too much about this matter, lest she laugh too happily, and it doesn't look like the effect of medicinal food, "Let's talk about business. You just said that you need to find a new way in the off-season. I have two ideas."

Xian Xuan immediately became serious, "Tell me quickly."

"The nobles in central Beijing like to hold a hand stove when winter comes. The hand stove cover is also hand-made, most of which are sewn by themselves, and the style has not changed for many years. If we work hard on this aspect, we will put the cloth hand stove cover on the outside Let animal fur, even made into the appearance of rabbits, kittens and other animals, not to mention the warmth, the style is also enough to attract those ladies. The cost is higher, but people who can afford a hand stove in winter, a hand stove The price of the cover must be affordable. The men's hand stove cover should be simple, and use some dark fur. The point is not the value of the fur, but that it feels better, and that is enough."

Xian Xuan's eyes lit up, and he urged him, "What about the second one?"

Qi Xiang said with a smile: "After the winter, the nobles will wear fur collars and sleeves. These are usually made together with the winter clothes and will not be made again. But ordinary people can't afford these furs. It's just quilted. But there are always more common people than nobles. If we use cloth and cotton to make collars and sleeves that ordinary people can wear, won't business come? These costs are not much at all , People are looking for warmth, and there is no requirement on the material, as long as the price is reasonable, no one will refuse. Even if the family is poor, the adults don’t want to suffer for the children, so they have to buy a set for the children.”

Xian Xuan clapped his hands "slap", "That's it!"

"I'll leave this matter to you. I don't think you want to stay at home." Qi Xiang could understand Xianxuan.Xianxuan is not bad at reading, and he must be able to answer the Taifu's test.It's just that people who have been away from the school for many years suddenly return to the atmosphere of the school. Some people feel nostalgia and joy, while a larger part of the people may be more nervous.

"Okay, okay, don't worry about it." Xianzheng was eager.He is different from his grandfather, his grandfather and Qi Xiang belong to the ones he likes to watch and learn from.And he is the kind of master who is not stupid and has learned well, but he is not obsessed with reading and learning in the bottom of his heart.

While talking, Ah Cai led Bai Junyu in.

Xian Xuan asked in surprise: "Hey, why did you come here? A rare visitor."

Bai Junyu didn't even bother to pay attention to Xianzheng's oily tone, and went straight to Qi Xiang's side, "I was out on errands, so I just came to pick up Ah Jing."

"Ah, Ah Jing?" Xianxuan almost slipped off the stool, what's the matter?

Qi Xiang didn't explain, and asked Bai Junyu with a smile, "Are you done?"

"Well. Can I go back?

"

"Yes." Qi Xiang stood up.

Bai Junyu took the cloak from Ai Wu and fastened it to Qi Xiang, then turned to Xianzheng and said, "Then let's go first. Greet the Grand Tutor for me, and come to the door to say hello another day."

After finishing speaking, he took Qi Xiang's hand and walked out.

"Wait!" Xian Xuan almost roared, pointing his index finger at the two people, dazzling, "You, what's going on with you?!"

Bai Junyu smiled, "It's just what you think. I'll treat you to dinner with His Highness another day. I just had dinner with my family a few days ago, and Qi Xiang has eaten a lot. I don't have a good appetite recently. Let's talk about it when his appetite improves."

Xian Yu looked perplexed and didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only watch the two leave - it was true that he told Bai Junyu what Qi Xiang was thinking, but there was no movement after that, and he couldn't ask.Now suddenly tell him that it has been done, without even going too far, he really needs to slow down for a while.No wonder Qi Xiang looks so good, any medicinal diet is a lie!

——No, he couldn’t be the only one surprised.

"Komatsu!"

"Master." Xiao Song was also shocked just now, he was the one who hadn't even thought of it than his young master.

"Let's go to the Fourth Highness's residence. I can't be the only one shocked by this!" After finishing speaking, Xian Xuan got up and walked out.

Xiao Song quickly followed out with the cloak in his arms, "Master, it's cold, put on the cloak first."

The carriage was walking home slowly, Qi Xiang smiled, "Can't you speak well? I think he almost fell off the stool to the ground."

"I don't have a good attitude?" Bai Junyu naturally knew what Qi Xiang was referring to, and she was feeling complacent but didn't want to admit that she wanted to show off.

"No, you can tell him directly." In this kind of matter, Qi Xiang's habitual approach still tends to be traditional.

"Then how can it be called a surprise?" Bai Junyu said with a smile.

Qi Xiang was helpless and happy, "Okay, prepare for these few days, and invite him and the fourth prince to dinner."
