To be able to resist such a huge temptation, the heart is firm.

"I don't know who is so blessed to accept you as an apprentice, who is your master?"

Liu Qingxi had nothing to hide when he heard this: "My master is the old man of Lingjiang Province. ”

What the? Hearing this sentence in Lin Shurong's ears, it can be described as turbulent, and at the same time there is a little jealousy: "Who did I say, it turned out to be that old guy, let him take the lead, this guy." ”

It turned out that Lin Shurong and Ying Lao were also famous figures in the capital when they were young, and they were also amazingly talented, I don't know how many people were shocked.

It was only later that for some reason, Ying Lao was disgusted with the complicated life of the people in the capital, and instead went to a not very rich place to be a free man.

Over the years, the two of them have often been in contact, but this guy has accepted such a good apprentice, and he doesn't reveal anything about it.

If Ying Lao heard his heart, he would definitely pout his beard and hum: "Let you know that you won't come and rob me of the apprentice?" ”

Of course, Lin Shurong's style also let Liu Qingxi know that he has a very good relationship with his master Ying Lao.

"It's that guy's apprentice, it's no wonder, okay, go back and go to the Lin Mansion as a guest."

"Thank you, Lord Lin."

"Don't call me Lord Lin, your master and I are also brothers, you can call me uncle!" Lin Shurong said this, but he thought in his heart, he couldn't be a master, and it was not bad to be a master.

Liu Qingxi's face was full of black lines, who would have thought that such a big man would jump out like this?

What can she say? However, there is such a relationship, and it may not be used in the future, although Liu Qingxi is not a person who is posted for the benefit at all.

If she knew that she had unintentionally said a word, a prophecy, she would have been eager to slap her mouth.

But at this moment, she didn't realize that in the afternoon, Lin Shurong took a few turns here and gave a few suggestions at random, and Liu Qingxi hurriedly wrote them down.

On the way back to Beijing, the two rode in the same carriage, so that after having a deeper understanding of Liu Qingxi, Lin Shurong liked this junior even more.

Above the court, several young people led by Yang Yichen are in the ascendant and are deeply favored by the emperor, which can be described as unparalleled.

Yang Yichen's latest design weapons were mass-produced and put into the army, and the national strength of Xiyue Kingdom increased rapidly in a short period of time.

As soon as Dugu Hao ascended the throne, he had such political achievements, which can be said to be the first to do it in the first place.

While he was deeply loved by the people, his prestige in the army was even greater.

"You are all pillars of the country, otherwise Xiyue would not have developed so rapidly, I am very pleased." Dugu Hao, who became the emperor, is more tactful than the original indifference.

As for Ning Ze, Yang Yichen, a loyal supporter who stood on the same front with him from the beginning, naturally had to be vigorously wooed.

If Yang Yichen can bring him more and more advanced weapons, then Ning Ze is the brave and resourceful general.

It can be said that each of them has their own strengths, and after the perfect combination, they are Dugu Hao's right-hand man.

"Ministers should do their best." From the perspective of several people, Dugu Hao is indeed a good emperor, with a benevolent heart and ambition.

In addition to protecting the people he loves, Yang Yichen naturally wants to contribute his own strength to this country.

And now, he is getting closer and closer to his goal, standing in the highest position, Dugu Hao has to give him some face.

Now, Liu Qingxi's own career is getting bigger and bigger, and he has correspondingly stronger forces to escort her.

With the passage of time, Yang Yichen's inspiration continued, and those things seemed to have life in his hands, and they came out naturally.

The more this happens, the more certain he is that he has an unknown past, and those scattered fragments gradually piece together into a finished picture, which becomes clearer and clearer.

It's just that some of the key elements are missing.

It's just that when he thinks about it seriously, his brain goes blank, as if God is deliberately against him.

After a busy day, when I returned to the door, Liu Qingxi happened to come from the other side, and the husband and wife seemed to have discussed it, full of tacit understanding, and came back at the same time

"I've seen Lord Lin." Liu Qingxi thought of that old naughty boy-like person, and casually said a few words to Yang Yichen.

Yang Yichen was speechless, you can imagine the performance of that old man in front of Liu Qingxi, because he was in front of him, the jumping, not at all like an old man who was over the age of six.

"Lord Lin is a person who can be friends." This is Yang Yichen's evaluation of Lin Shurong.

Although Lin Shurong is indeed a little verbose at times, I have to say that he is a clear stream in the court.

"He's still a friend of Master......" Liu Qingxi smiled and told Yang Yichen what he had seen and heard that day, and the small things seemed boring, but the people who were immersed in it liked this kind of bland happiness.

Unlike most eunuchs, the backyard is a mess, and everyone has their own ghosts and thoughts.

Just as they were about to eat, a hearty laugh came from outside: "Qingxi, I'll come and have a look." ”

The woman is wearing a dark green long dress, wearing a pearl silver hairpin, a kind face, a gentle smile, and a clean and neat style that feels refreshing at a glance.

It turned out that the person who came was Zhang's, and when it comes to Zhang's, we have to mention the people who came to the capital to work this time.

When Liu Qingxi got married, Liu Laosi's family came to the capital with Liu Qingzhi, and after attending the wedding, Liu Qingxi made the decision to let the villagers come to the capital for development.

At that time, Liu Laosi, Zhang and others supported them with both hands and feet, and went back and forth for a month, wasting time and simply staying.

Let the village chief Zhang Wuliang help to send a letter to Liu Laowu, as for the two elders of the Qin family and Liu Tian, the two of them will definitely not be less, and they will send it to their homes regularly.

In the capital, the stay of Liu Laosi's family made Liu Qingxi have a large family of relatives, and the two families have more contacts.

And Zhang, who has experience selling pastries in Shilipu, wants to do the same business in the capital.

However, due to the difference between the price of goods in the capital and Linyi County, the silver saved in the past few years barely bought a shop in a not very prosperous area.

At that time, Liu Qingxi said: "Fourth aunt, since you want to open a shop, don't open it in that location, I can give it to you if the money is not enough, and the prosperous location is much better." ”

At this point, Liu Qingxi took out 2,000 taels of silver to invest in Zhang's family, and directly took a shop for sale on Qinglong Street.

After more than a month of decoration and preparation, the decoration was all completed, and the pastry chef also invited a master of ancestral craftsmanship in Beijing.

"Fourth aunt, have you eaten? Eat here! ”

"No need, you eat quickly, I ate at home just now." Zhang was also polite, let a few of them eat, and wait on the side.

In the Yang family, he has always paid attention to eating light dinner, so Liu Qingxi spent a quarter of an hour drinking a small half bowl of corn porridge and eating some green vegetables.

"Auntie, say it!"

"Oh, Qingxi, this is not good news to tell you, my shop is ready, ready to open in three days, and you can go over when the time comes, you have spent a lot of money here."

"Don't worry, auntie, I will definitely go that day."

Looking at the hearty person in front of him, Liu Qingxi couldn't help but sigh at the change in people, and so did Zhang.

Until now, she felt like she was dreaming, dreaming of coming to the bustling imperial capital and having her own shop here, which she would never have dreamed of a few years ago.

The next day, Liu Qingxi had nothing to do, so he asked Chunyu Xia He to prepare a few posts and invite a few ladies and ladies with a good relationship to attend the opening ceremony of Zhang's shop.

In the blink of an eye, three days were up, and in the early morning, an attractive fragrance wafted from Zhang's shop, and passers-by smelled the saliva secretion, eager to open the door to see what was inside.

As the scent drifted farther and farther away, more and more people gathered.

People are always curious about the unknown, and groups of people gather in front of Zhang's shop.

"What's this selling? So fragrant? ”

"It must be eaten, but I don't know what it is, if you want me to say, a few days ago, I opened a shop here, and I lost all my money, and then I said that the feng shui here is not good, I don't know who bought it."

The young man has a decent, colorful description.

Listening to his words, several insiders nodded approvingly: "I also know, it seems that this place used to be sold for food." ”

"It's a pity, if the feng shui is not good, it is estimated that no matter how good the business is, it will be ruined here."

Everyone sighed, and the fragrance overflowing couldn't stop the feng shui problem.

You know, people in this era are very superstitious about this kind of thing that cannot be explained by science.

Inside the store, Zhang's heart jumped suddenly, and the discussion from outside was like a bombshell suddenly exploding in her heart, shaking her eardrums.

What can I do? She fought all her belongings, and also took two thousand taels from Liu Qingxi, if she lost money, she was beaten to hell once.

She sat down on a chair with cold limbs, and cursed the man who sold her shop half to death.

The argument outside is getting louder and louder, and maybe one or two voices say that as long as the food is delicious, it will definitely be able to continue.

But it was soon submerged, and this fact made Zhang's heart chill for a while, and gradually sank to the bottom.

What can I do? What can I do? All her net worth was pressed on it, and she was so frightened that her limbs went weak.

Time passed, and the hourglass on the table told her this fact like a talisman.

She can't wait to give herself two slaps, why is she in such a hurry to buy a shop? Why don't you inquire and why???

However, no amount of why can change this frightening fact.

Time passed minute by minute, and a young man came out of the back kitchen: "Boss, the opening time is almost up, and the pastries and tea in the back have been prepared." ”

However, one minute passed, and two minutes passed......

Zhang didn't notice it, his face was pale and his eyes were blank, and he sat on the side, not moving his eyes.

"Hostess? Madame??? He suddenly amplified his voice.

"Huh?" Zhang suddenly startled, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”

"Boss, the little one said that the back is ready, it's almost time to open the door."

"Oh oh oh, good!" Zhang stood up and raised his spirit to prepare.

But the original spirit is now completely dissipated, and she is sorry for herself and waiting for the judgment of fate to announce her failure.

Maybe it was because of Liu Qingxi's help before, she did a smooth ride in Bixi Town, and when she came to the capital, she didn't expect that she was wrong at the beginning and chose the wrong place.

Time passed minute by minute, and the hope in her heart dissipated little by little, and she was no longer as hearty as a few days ago, and she was full of sorrow.

At this moment, the girl came from behind, she was wearing a long red dress, the slim design outlined a delicate figure, and the delicate little face had a calm and calm bearing.

"Fourth aunt, I'm here!" The person who came was Liu Qingxi, who came to help.

In the past few days, she was not idle, and invited everyone who could be invited, and the people targeted by Zhang's this time were women, including pastries, preserves, flower tea, and all kinds of things that women like to eat, drink and play.

And the people she invited, although they are not the top of the pyramid, but with them, the free publicity will only be greater than her own publicity.

However, as soon as she entered, she saw Zhang's pale face, bloodless.

"What's wrong, Aunt Four? Feeling unwell? ”

She didn't expect that at this critical moment, Zhang's body had a problem.

However, she misunderstood.

The next moment, Zhang grabbed her arm tightly, and two tear stains slipped down her pale and weak face: "Qingxi, what should I do?" What to do? I bought the wrong shop, I bought the wrong one! ”

People are like this, when they are most vulnerable, they see the people closest to them, and those who are strong finally can't hold it back.

In addition, Liu Qingxi has always been the pillar of the family, as if everything is difficult for her, at this moment, at this moment, in this situation, the Zhang family seems to have grasped the last straw.

Liu Qingxi's arm was scratched by Zhang's pain unbearable, but Zhang's always had to figure out the situation.

"Auntie, tell me, what's going on?"

Zhang's sobbing kept choking, and in the intermittent narration, Liu Qingxi understood the truth of the matter.

It turned out to be gossip outside, and if you listen carefully, you can still hear the many voices of schadenfreude.

"Fourth aunt, it's okay, don't worry." She thought something was falling.

It's just gossip about the location.

With her ability to follow Ying Laoxue, she can see at a glance that the geographical location here is good, the vision is broad, not to mention living on Qinglong Street, there are pedestrians coming and going on all sides, how can it be bad?

If the last owner's shop is forced to close, there is only one reason. It's a problem of the boss's own ability, or a problem with food, or a problem with management, and it is absolutely impossible to be a feng shui problem.

"Fourth aunt, I promise, this is a treasure land, and our shop will definitely make a lot of money."

"Really?" At this time, there was only Liu Qingxi's words, and the Zhang family could listen to it a little.

"It's absolutely true, I've seen so many houses, I will definitely not look away, hurry up, you go wash your face, the auspicious time will arrive in a while."
