Yu Dayong touched the scar on his forehead and said with a smile: "I was scraped by a burning pillar when I retreated that day, don't say it, I really like it, and if I grow a beard in the future, even if Wang Pin is resurrected, I don't think he will recognize it when I stand in front of him." "He really doesn't want to pretend to be a woman anymore, he still likes the way he looks now, enough for a man!

"By the way," Zhiruo suddenly thought of a question, "They used fire to attack, so how many bones did you leave behind?" "If there are only a few bones of Wang Pin, the enemy will definitely not be fooled."

Li Da glanced at Zhiruo approvingly, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, big girl, we have already prepared, we are all lonely ghosts, just let those people do a good deed and help them cremate." ”

Zhiruo nodded, and secretly laughed at himself for worrying too much, Li Da is the leader of the secret guard, he is quick to react and careful as a hair, how can he make such a mistake?

Zhiruo walked to the desk and took out two stacks of papers from the drawer: "This is some internal and external regulations that I made in my spare time about Shunfeng Dart Bureau and Dayuan Fang, as well as business methods, etc., the two brothers will take a look, and we will discuss any problems." ”

Li Da was obviously more interested in Da Yuan Fang, and stuffed the few cards of the Shunfeng Dart Bureau into Yu Dayong's hand: "Cunyi has long said that if you don't vote under your father-in-law, your biggest wish is to open a dart game, and now you have your wish, in the future, you will be mainly responsible for the dart game, and I will be mainly responsible for Da Yuan Fang, how about our brothers still cooperate openly and secretly?"

Yu Dayong smiled: "No problem, you are already better at those things than me." The eldest girl is estimated to have planned this way a long time ago, you see, Liang Dashan is good at planning, responsible for negotiating business, managing the dart bureau; Liang Dahai is good at martial arts, and when he meets an important customer, he has to go out to escort the dart. Isn't this kind of external positioning just to give "Liang Dashan" more time to do other things?

Li Da glanced at it, and sure enough, his admiration for Zhiruo in his heart increased by three points. But there's nothing strange about it, the eldest girl is the eldest daughter of the general of Zhenbei and the county lord of Qianxin, and the blue is better than the blue, but she didn't have the opportunity to show it before. Look at what the eldest girl has done in the past few days since the accident in the General's Mansion, how can ordinary ladies have such determination, mind, and means?

Zhiruo talked in the conference room for nearly three hours, and planned some major matters in the near future. Zhiruo's one-year plan of "making money with one hand and strengthening the strength with the other hand on the premise of ensuring everyone's safety" made the other four very excited, and there was no objection at all.

In the end, Li Da and Yu Dayong also selected three personal guards who were older but had good martial arts skills and two secret guards to stay on Zhuangzi as guards. Of course, these five people will be among the subordinates that Qi Bo bought back from Tingzhou.

When Qingyuanhou and Qiu Yiran learned that the chief steward of Meizhuang also went to Tingzhou to buy more than 20 people this time, they gritted their teeth in anger. They had already made arrangements when Yin Zhiruo returned to the capital, wanting to install people in Meizhuang, but Yin Zhiruo actually bought people back directly in Kaesong City. Later, with Ruqiu as an internal response, they temporarily stopped this idea. Until Ruqiu entered the mansion as a concubine, the Ji family was forced to sign a contract to sever contact between the two families, and the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion was once again eager to install Neiying in Meizhuang, but learned from Liu Agen, the steward who was sent to Tingzhou to buy people, that Meizhuang also bought more than ten or twenty people in Tingzhou this time, and they saw Meizhuang's carriage on the road.

What a good opportunity to pass by them like this! Tingzhou is the base of their Qiu family, and as long as those big tooth shops say hello, they can definitely choose one or two clever ones for them to sell to the Yin family.

Qiu Yiran suddenly raised his eyebrows: "You go again, spend some money to secretly check the family situation of those who were bought by the Yin family." "Some people are better able to control their family members than to control their own.

Liu Agen shook his head and said: "The slave knows the master's thoughts, and he has already gone to several big tooth shops to inquire, but there is no news." It was not easy to find out that the chief steward of Meizhuang only went to the town and the village to pick people, and only picked the lonely, or the whole family to buy, in short, there are absolutely no relatives outside the house. I heard a person in the tooth shop say that many wealthy families who have recently come to Tingzhou to buy people have this requirement, saying that they are exempt from trouble. Anyway, after that flood, Tingzhou now has the most orphans, no families, and many people who are alone. ”

The tooth women in the town and village are first-hand tooth shops, the price is cheaper, but they have not been trained at all, and they are rarely sold directly to the master's family, and most of them are sold to the big tooth shops, or they are collected by the big dealers from the market.

Mei Zhuang, or Yin Zhiruo, is really cautious! Avoid trouble? Is it to prevent someone from planting chess pieces, right? So it is always so unexpected, Qiu Yiran angrily slammed his fist on the table. Why? The obedient little white rabbit that I thought was in the palm of my hand suddenly became so difficult.

The Marquis of Qingyuan frowned and sighed, their Hou Mansion has been very unpleasant recently, and they will be choked if they really drink water. Originally, it was common for people like them to take a concubine, and I don't know who chewed his tongue and said that the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion couldn't make ends meet, so he even had to rob the embroidery girl on the daughter-in-law Zhuangzi, just because the embroidery girl's needlework was good, she could save a lot of silver for the Qiu family, and even earn silver. No, this year's New Year's gift from the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion has been sent out for a long time, just waiting for the poor woman named Concubine who is actually an embroidered lady to work day and night.

Qingyuanhou naturally sent someone to investigate, but it turned out that his stupid daughter Qiu Yanran and her niece Ke Qiaoqiao were arguing over a purse when they were attending a banquet, and they were listened to. However, for the sake of his son's family affairs, the Ji family was not affected by the concubine before marriage, and everywhere declared how filial Qiu Yiran was, and the concubine was only because her grandmother and sister fell in love with her embroidery skills. The front and back are paired, and there is a mouth that can't be said clearly, but it will only get darker and darker.

Hou Ye was so angry, when he returned home, he punished Qiu Yanran and Ke Qiaoqiao to kneel on the ancestral tablet. No, in less than a quarter of an hour, his niece Ke Qiaoqiao was taken away by his mother, saying that it was Qiu Yanran who made a mistake and spoke indiscriminately, and there was no reason for Ke Qiaoqiao to accompany her to be punished.

Then there was Ji's nurse who pointed to Sang and scolded Huai, which caused her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to quarrel openly and secretly, chickens and dogs jumped, and the house was restless......

"Yi'er," Qingyuanhou hesitated, "Or, would you still consider the second girl of the Pingxi Hou Mansion?" or, the eldest girl of the Xu family?"

Qiu Yiran was stunned and frowned obviously: "Don't." "The Pingxi Hou Mansion holds the military power in the southwest, and it has indeed been valued by the emperor in the past two years. It's just that although the second girl of Pingxi Houfu is raised in the name of her mother-in-law, she is actually a concubine, and her mother is said to be from a Qing family. How could such a woman be his wife-in-law, the wife of the prince of the Qingyuan Marquis' Mansion? Also, how much dowry could Mrs. Pingxihou give to this concubine? Even though the second girl's own mother was favored, how many private rooms could she have?

And the Xu family is just a wealthy businessman, or is it an explosive household, what kind of daughter can such a family cultivate? I'm afraid that it is a coppery smell and vulgar, can it be integrated into the circle of noblewomen? Besides, the Xu family's so-called rich dowry is only 20,000 or 30,000 taels of silver, I am afraid it is less than one-tenth of Yin Zhiruo's dowry, but there are still so many provising conditions, what helps the Xu family guide the way to win the imperial merchant quota, and what Xu family's son wants to enter the White Deer Academy......

Qingyuanhou is also dissatisfied with these two families, but what should he do? These are already two families with relatively good conditions. After Qiu Yiran and left, the reputation of the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion was greatly damaged, not to mention Luozhou and the capital, but many other places have spread, plus the recent rumors of "making ends meet" have made matters worse, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find such conditions in the future.

After hesitating again and again, the Marquis of Qingyuan still said in an aggravated tone: "You can think about the Pingxi Marquis Mansion again! The Marquis of Pingxi is also the fifth generation, this is only the second generation, and the four sons of their family are all serving in the army, and the prospects are promising. The two girls were deeply favored by the Marquis of Pingxi, and it is said that the brother of her mother's sibling was also the bravest and most featen-achieving of the four sons of the Hou Mansion. ”

After the Marquis of Qingyuan finished speaking, he sighed and left. After all, it is a major event for Qiu Yiran to marry a wife, and he always has to think about it himself, and then compare Yin Zhiruo with the former Zhenbei General's Mansion, I am afraid that he will not want to marry again in his life.

When Ji heard the news, he was furious: "How can a concubine born in the Qing Dynasty and the daughter of a merchant be worthy of Yi'er? Is Hou Ye crazy? Yi'er is his eldest son, the son of the Hou Mansion." ”

Mrs. Qin, who was waiting on the side, sighed secretly and persuaded: "Madame, Hou Ye must also have his considerations, doesn't it mean that Hou Ye is very hesitant and reluctant? "Because of the old lady and Miss Kebiao, the Hou Ye is already very cold to the lady, if you make another scene,...... , the New Year is coming up in a few days.

Ji naturally knew the reputation of the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion, the embarrassment of his son, and her own situation, so she took a few deep breaths before slowly calming down. No, she had to find a way......

At this time, the maid guarding the door was knocking on the door: "Madam, Second Lady Yin from the capital sent someone to deliver a letter." ”

Ji's eyes lit up: "Take it to the flower hall, and I'll come over." "It should be Ye Fang'er who has contacted that person, well, it's the right time! The New Year's Day is the best time, whether it is the guards patrolling, the soldiers guarding the city, or the people on Meizhuang, who is still so tight? Well, it is best to be on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, and I don't know what Fang'er said to that person."

Mrs. Qin's eyes darkened, she knew that Madame was waiting for news from the Ye family, but it was too risky,......

"Madam," Mrs. Qin stopped when she wanted to speak.

Ji Shi waved his hand: "I know what you have to say, needless to say, for the sake of the three Yi'er brothers and sisters, I also have to take a risk and break the boat." If there is anything, just push Ye Fang'er out. I only know that she borrowed money from me and drove me out of the city, but I don't know what she does. ”R1152
