After the hour, the raiders began to have three or three guests to the door, most of them were the wives and ladies of the rich and noble families, Chunxue was responsible for introducing the goods, Xia Bing was responsible for receiving and doing beauty maintenance, Qiu Xing looked at tea, and the winter cicada ushered in the delivery, everything was orderly, careful and thoughtful, so that every customer did not feel like buying something in the store, but playing in general.

When Bai Qiyu walked into the raider's workshop, Dong Cicada didn't recognize it at first sight, because she was wearing a very simple plain dress and a light gauze hat on her head, and she didn't take it off when she entered the door.

When the autumn water behind him appeared, the winter cicada recognized it, and hurriedly welcomed it in, went directly into the backyard, and called Aunt Ruan Qing again.

When Ruan Qing heard the news, he came out of the wing room in the backyard to greet him, and calmly saluted Bai Qiyu.

"Auntie doesn't have to be polite, I'm just going out for a walk. Bai Qiyu took off the hat, and Qiushui took it.

Ruan Qing welcomed her into the room and sat down, while the winter cicada went to the tea room to make tea.

Bai Qiyu didn't beat around the bush, and was direct, "Presumably Sister Su didn't know that you were the person arranged by Song Che, right?"

Although she was mentally prepared to be exposed early in the morning, she didn't expect to be said so bluntly and abruptly by her so soon, Ruan Qing was still stunned for a moment before nodding.

Slightly apologetic, he bowed his head and said, "I hope that Miss Seven will forgive us for our deception, and the second master has only instructed you to help you take care of the raider's workshop, and there is no malice." ”

The winter cicada served the tea and quietly retreated, and Qiushui also looked at Bai Qiyu and left the room.

Bai Qiyu nodded, "I know this, I don't mind what is beneficial to me," he said, raising his eyes at Ruan Qing, "I want to know, when did Song Che start investigating the Bai family?"

Ruan Qing looked at her with some surprise, "You know about this?"

This matter refers to the investigation of the White Mansion, and such a secret matter will not be leaked.

Bai Qiyu shook his head, "I don't know." ”

"Then how do you ......?"

"I guess. Taking a sip of tea with just the right temperature, Bai Qiyu gently flicked the lid of the white porcelain cup with his wrist, and said, "Your second master knows that I opened a shop in Linfeng City, and knows my plan after entering Beijing, so I helped when I encountered trouble in the attacker's workshop, and talked to me about the current Baifu - I know more than the people in Baifu, and I know much more, even if I am stupid, I can always see something, let's say, when did your second master start?"

Ruan Qing hesitated for a moment before saying, "A year and a half ago, the second master had been moving out of the palace for almost three years, and he rarely entered the palace during the three years, and then after he came out of the palace once, he began to arrange for people to secretly investigate the Bai Mansion, all of which was done in secret, except for ...... Except for the one in the palace, I'm afraid that few people in the court know. ”

Bai Qiyu speculated, "It must be about coastal trade and sea bans, right?"

It's not perfect, but it's also due to this.

Ruan Qing nodded, "That's right, when the courtiers proposed to lift the sea ban, the imperial court also sent someone to investigate, but for some reason, the emperor paid attention to the White Mansion, perhaps because the White Mansion is the home of the rich people of the dynasty, and it is more involved with the family of the noble eunuchs, plus the White Mansion almost occupies the commerce and trade of the two important state capitals in the coastal area, and the lifting of the sea ban will have a great impact on the current dynasty, and the coastal area bears the brunt, the emperor had intended to use your father, but before he mentioned it, he was suppressed, after all, this is a major national event......"

Ruan Qing said implicitly, but Bai Qiyu understood that the emperor wanted nothing more than to use Baifu's strong economic control over the coastal area to stabilize commerce and trade and resist the impact of lifting the sea ban, but the relationship between Baifu and Baifu was really complicated, and the emperor didn't want things to get out of his control, and he was suspicious of Baifu, so Song Che, who had lived outside the palace for a long time and was not involved in political affairs, secretly investigated these things......

Yes, a general's mansion, a Shangshu mansion, a wealthy merchant family with deep roots in the northwest that has been prosperous for a hundred years, a prestigious Tai'an family, plus the Baifu itself is a wealthy businessman in the dynasty, and the ancestors have also produced high-grade officials, so there is naturally some relationship between the DPRK and China..... In such a complicated situation, it is difficult for the emperor not to be suspicious.

Now, there is a Shunping palace and a prince of the dynasty...... It's a mess...... Bai Qiyu was almost about to lament.

It's just that at this time, what Bai Qiyu was far from expecting was that the emperor's suspicion was not caused by the involvement of these relationships.

Listening to Ruan Qing's explanation of the cause and effect, Bai Qiyu suddenly understood Bai Yuntang, all kinds of complicated involvement, presumably it was not what he wanted, he had no better way to ensure the safety of the rich and monstrous Bai Mansion, but now, things are far beyond the scope of his control.

After chatting with Ruan Qing, Bai Qiyu sat quietly for a while, and asked about the business in the workshop, the fragrance dew was already in short supply, the maintenance and beauty promotion was very good, and the manpower was a little unavailable......

Because the fragrance and fat powder have always been prepared and supplied by Bai Qiyu himself, the business has been getting better and better in the past few months, and it has long been out of supply.

She thought for a while and said, "Why don't I buy a house and find two clever girls to follow me to learn how to make perfume and the like, so I won't have to worry about running out of stock when the time comes." ”

Since the opening of the raider's house, the profits have been rolling, and after removing the daily use of the rent, and then sharing it with Xu Suxin, she has also made a small profit, plus some of her own private deposits, it should be enough to buy a small house with two entrances.

Ruan Qing pondered, "This method is good, and it also saves you from doing everything yourself." ”

"Then it's decided, as for the house, don't worry, just find it slowly, don't need to be too lively......"

The two talked for a while, and Bai Qiyu was about to leave.

Out of the raider's workshop, Ruan Qing sent her to the carriage, watched the carriage drive away, and then turned back to the raider's workshop, and sent the winter cicada to see Song Che.

Outside the car was a bustling and lively street, but it was quiet in the car, Bai Qiyu suddenly said, "Why don't you go back to Linfeng City when Xu Zhixing comes to Beijing at the beginning of next month, go back to Linfeng City, go back and see your family, and see how Qiu Ling and the others are." ”

Qiushui was surprised when she heard this, "Miss suddenly asked me to come back to Windy City, but what's the matter?"

Bai Qiyu sighed lightly, "I always feel uneasy, and I don't know if there is something, maybe I have been thinking too much recently......" and said, "Forget it, I just said, it's not that my mother is going to take Xiaoba and Xiaojiu into Beijing, it's better to write a letter to Xu Zhixing to send Qiuling to Beijing, and when I buy a house, Qiuling will live in that house, and I will let her follow me to learn how to make incense in the future." ”

Qiushui couldn't help but sigh, "It's been more than half a year since I entered Beijing in the blink of an eye......"

"Wait for the house, let Qiuling take care of it on weekdays, we will live in the house when we are happy to live in the house, and if we are not happy to live in the house, we can live in our own house...... Let Xu Zhixing and Aunt Xu also come to Beijing, you can let Xu Zhixing do the things in and out, Aunt Xu is not in good health, and she doesn't need to open the shop, so she can help manage things in the house...... "The more Bai Qiyu thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was good, and asked Qiushui again, "How is it?"

Qiushui nodded, "Yes, yes, Miss, your family affairs have also been settled, and there should be few opportunities to return to Windy City in the future......"

Bai Qiyu interrupted her, "It's too early to say this, the plan will never catch up with the changes. ”

Qiushui didn't understand the meaning of these words, but he saw the people on the street through the gap in the curtain, turned his head and said to Bai Qiyu, "Miss, it seems that there is a young master of Wu in front of Qiwu Zhai?"

Wu Hao?

Bai Qiyu opened the curtain and looked out when he heard this, on the stone steps in front of the door of the strange thing, Wu Hao, who was dressed in a blue suit, was talking to a young man, who was dressed in a blue cloth robe and had a delicate face, and it was the Xia Gongzi who had a two-sided relationship.
