"Don't be nervous, I'll tell you that my real name is Yan Youye, and besides, I'm not a bad person, in short, you believe me-!"

Under the candle flame, Qin Mo's eyes blinked faintly

"Still, I want to know the details of you!"

Resting your hand on the table.

Yan Youye looked at her actions, and for a moment, sighed softly.

He put down the candle in his hand

"In short, you just believe me, although I am not a big person, but my family still has some status in the capital, let me tell you the truth, I am a descendant of Jiaxing Hou Yan Zhong, my name is Yan Youye, and my name was taken by my grandmother-!"

Yan Youye also sat down against the edge of the table, sniffed, and the thin wings of his nose trembled.

"She said that my appearance looks like my deceased grandfather, when she was alive, she and her grandfather flounder love, my grandfather's name has a 'night', so I hope I can grow up like my grandfather in the future, so I added a 'you' word, which means 'more', and my sister is one of the emperor's current favored concubines, the palace often says' Yan Guifei's is her, although she still has a queen above, and there are some concubines with deeper qualifications than her, but the emperor is to spoil her, my sister is beautiful, more handsome than me, you just look at me, you know my sister's appearance, but it's a pity, my sister has been in the palace for two years, although it is said that the saint is immortal, in the end there is no heir, so you will always feel in danger, the people of Dayan know that the current Shunkang Emperor is more than fifty years old but still has not set up a prince, the queen has two adult sons in her hands, the second prince and the fourth prince, the second prince Duanwang and the fourth prince Lianwang, Duanwang's virtue is famous, the eldest prince is the son of Concubine De, Concubine De entered the palace the earliest, and has deep qualifications, however, the emperor's favorite is the son of the youngest and not favored concubine Liao Xian. My sister entered the palace late, although she was favored, but she had no heirs, so she was very frightened, so our Yan family's Hou Mansion was low-key outside.! ”

As he spoke, Qin Mo nodded, she believed that what he said was true, and he didn't lie to her.

People are really not real, just look at the subtle expressions, the words are really not true, and you will know the tone in the obedient words..."I really don't want you to be such a noble figure in Yanguo-!" ”

Listening to Qin Mo's words with emotion, Yan Youye shook his head in frustration unexpectedly..."You don't know the capital, you don't know the official if you don't go to the capital, in the capital, we are not the top hairpin family, just clinging to the royal family, some nepotism, it is not bad to be a royal family, but in the end, the family background is the thin kind-!" ”

Qin Mo looked up in surprise. The pupils are slightly opened

"Isn't your family the Hou Mansion, and the Hou Mansion is also the kind with a thin family-!"

Yan Youye pouted a little boredly, "I'm talking about the kind that is thin in the upper class, of course, ordinary people can't be compared-!" ”

"I said, you don't know the capital, there are too many rich and noble people, we are also relying on the shadow of our ancestors, my grandfather was a general valued by the emperor, and he once went out to fight against the emperor, won the world on horseback, was sealed, hereditary three generations, although our family is not the richest family, but in the end, it is a family, so the general officials and clans do not dare to despise us-!"

So that's the case, Qin Mo nodded again.

In fact, it must be that the family background is not shallow, there is a royal sister who can enter the palace and be a concubine, where can the family background be shallow.

"I really don't want you to be a little marquis-!" Qin Mo's head tilted, and then gently pillowed it on his arm with a little laziness, "Then I usually don't really neglect you!" ”

She was a little frustrated, she didn't know that his identity was so proven, she also called him as a slave, brought her tea and water every day, and most of them asked him to help take care of Zhuangzi and read the account books.

Yan Youye didn't speak.

In just a moment, Qin Mo's head was raised again, her clear beautiful eyes were raised, and she asked curiously, "But why did you run here alone, and stand on the street as a businessman to sell fake medicine to the people?!" ”

Yes, Qin Mo suddenly thought again, since he is the little marquis, isn't he the third hereditary master, so the treatment of a wealthy son is not enough, how can he run to the poor countryside of Qinzhou? !

Asked this, suddenly Yan Youye's handsome face had never had a shy smile, but after being stunned for a moment, he suddenly smiled a little ashamedly.

Qin Mo could see that it was a somewhat 'ashamed' smile

"This.!" The long blue cloth cuffs hung down on the table, but Yan Youye's tone paused, and then he scratched his head inadvertently "This ......"

Before he finished speaking, he laughed first.

"This. That's not because I made a bet with Xie Lingye, the little prince of Zhongyi County, that he wanted to finish the things of Yanguo, and then go to Nanshan in Kunlun in the northwest to pick the newly ripened peaches in May and June. Go back and only bring a kind of evidence of the plant that is only available in the west, the family is naturally opposed, but we all brought the silver two from home and ran out secretly, the route of the two of us is different, he is north and I am south, I don't know how Lingye is now, and I, go to the south with a lot of silver two to the Suizhou ferry, just met the river flood, the boat overturned, and the clothes and money and food on the body were washed away by the water. The rest of me finally climbed ashore with the boatman! ”

"And then—!" As if listening to a story, Qin Mo propped up his sleeves and opened his eyes, "And then-!?" Yan Youye inadvertently raised his voice "Then I didn't have anything to eat, there was a big flood in Suizhou, and there were many victims, and I couldn't go to beg, fortunately, I knew that the prefect of Suizhou had come to Beijing to see my father, so

He didn't remember me, but he didn't know if my identity was true or false, and he didn't want to help me, but in case I was really a little marquis, he asked their housekeeper to take some herbs from the treasury and told me to sell them, saying that these herbs are now in great need of patients, and if I am really a little marquis, I can be saved. ”

"I also know that the current world, the world is like this, so I don't have much entanglement, I took those herbs and came to Qinzhou-!"

"As a result, you will know the result...!"

Yan Youye straightened his back, spread his hands, and then looked innocent..."Flutter.!" Qin Mo, who had listened to the entire Yan Youye experience, couldn't help laughing, and even covered his stomach, so his intestines rolled, and his stomach hurt from laughing.

No matter what people guess or think, but they don't want the truth of the matter to be like this, a little marquis actually went to the street to sell fake herbs to cheat and eat and drink.

And just because of a meaningless, boring bet, he actually drove two people with status to this remote wilderness, you say it's funny.

"Haha... Ha ha...! ”

Seeing that Qin Mo had been covering his stomach and couldn't stop laughing, Yan Youye was at a loss to spread his hands, and he didn't have a place to put his hands and feet... What are you laughing at, since before entering Qin Lu, he had not seen Qin Mo lose his temper like this, but today, he lost his posture more than any time, and he was really embarrassed.

"Hey, don't you laugh, okay?"

For a long time, I saw that Qin Mo couldn't stop laughing.

Yan Youye couldn't help but pretend to be born and stopped.

"Hahaha.!" However, Qin Mo still couldn't stop laughing..."Hey." Don't laugh...! Yan Youye simply stood up with an unconvinced expression... Qin Mo finally stopped smiling, raised his head, sometimes, looking at it carefully, he always felt that Yan Youye, who was not in business, was like a child every time he started a fire.

looks like a little daughter-in-law who has been bullied protesting.

"Okay. Don't laugh anymore, I don't laugh anymore...! ”

In order to appease him, Qin Mo pretended to raise his hands and make a gesture of surrender...

Yan Youye was depressed, and finally sat down again.

Although he didn't laugh anymore, it was still so funny when he thought about it, and after thinking about it like this, Qin Mo wanted to laugh again, but when he saw that Yan Youye's face was really bad, forget it, he held back his laughter.

"So, how is that companion of yours doing?"

Qin Mo asked about the little prince who bet with him...

"Who knows-!"

As soon as he asked about Xie Lingye, Yan Youye's expression was even more disdainful, and he looked arrogant and proud with his hands.

That guy, who was so treacherous, didn't tell him that the south was flooding, and told him to go south, he thought he really had to consider the shorter distance to the south, and as a result, his life was almost gone....

That guy, he didn't spare him when they met.

Xiao Tao had already cooked the fragrant meal, Nian'er was busy serving the bowl, and now Qin Mo was eating alone in the front hall, because sometimes he would look at the accounts while eating, Nian'er and Xiao Tao would go out to eat, and they would usually eat by themselves when Qin Mo had eaten well...*

When Yan Youye is not embarrassed, he is generally very serious.

Just like in the past half a month, he has always been in the front hall and study every day, helping Qin Mo read those account books and approving some matters.

And immediately it is the Dragon Boat Festival, every household is making zongzi, to celebrate the festival, there is a festive atmosphere everywhere... And on this day, Qin Mo called Xiao Tao to the inner room...

Qin Mo's inner room was in the backyard, separated from Xiao Tao's subordinate room by two long corridors.

"Girl, you're looking for me-!"

Today's little peach is in the summer, wearing a thin hibiscus cardigan, under the garnet red scattered flower skirt, light pink intarsia pants, it is a pair of silk pants that have been worn for a few years, or just entered the red makeup shop when Qin Mo used the material to make a skirt and the leftover material rewarded her, after wearing it for so many years, it has long been crumpled, and under her feet is wearing a pair of semi-new satin big red flat shoes.

"These clothes are made by me to the tailor shop on the street according to your size, the colors and colors are all your favorites, and the materials are also selected by me repeatedly, you see it's okay-!"

Xiao Tao's eyes swept over the stacks of clothes that were dragged on a tray on the small case on Qin Mo Luohan's bed in surprise. The shiny fabric is a good material at first glance

"Girl, this-!"

Xiao Tao looked at the clothes in surprise, and then turned her head to look at Qin Mo... Before he could say a word, Qin Mo had already sighed.

He gently brushed the handkerchief in his hand.

"It's all my fault, in fact, last year should have been done, because things were busy, I ignored you, the first two months, when I brought someone into the house, I thought of you, in the end it is not a small age, last month, I suddenly noticed you by the river, people are indeed grown up, the daughter's family is a good age, good looks, if you don't marry, it's not a pity to always follow me like this, I can't keep you by my side for my own selfish interests, I was thinking in my heart, in the end, our master and servant, although it was the original buy you in, Said to be a girl, in the end I only take you as sisters, I can't because I cut off your happiness, you are not young, the year will be eighteen, I will ask the matchmaker everywhere in this half a month to help me see, although your ancestral home is Linshui, but the conditions in Qinzhou are better, so I looked for the matchmaker in Qinzhou, and found the son of a scholar in the suburbs of the west of the city for you, although the family is poor, but it is the home of the scholar, and you can also have the opportunity to get a good way out in the future, you married a good house, The family does not take concubines and does not give you anger, and the scholars know more etiquette, I have also seen the portrait of that person, and the character is also good, I have prepared the dowry for you to marry, and I called you here today, which is to ask you what you mean, see if you are in the middle, no, we will look at it again-! ”

But I don't want this Qin Mo to just say that as soon as his words fell, this little peach is the 'sonor' who kneels on his knees

"Girl, are you going to drive me away!" Is there something unsatisfactory about Xiao Tao's weekdays that annoys the girl?,Even so,Just wait for the girl to be more educated.,Xiao Tao will be able to correct it.,Just ask the girl.,Don't drive Xiao Tao away-! ”

After a few words, Xiao Tao's tears seemed to roll.

Qin Mo, who was startled, hurriedly got up to help.

"Hey, you girl, what are you kneeling on a hot day, but I don't know that although the day is hot, the tiles are cold, the moisture is soaked into the knees, how can people be sick ...!"

"Xiao Tao begged the girl not to drive me away, Xiao Tao didn't leave, Xiao Tao stayed to say that she wanted to serve the girl for a lifetime, if Xiao Tao didn't do a good job, then ask the girl to punish her, but don't let Xiao Tao Xu people, drive Xiao Tao away.!"

"Hey, you girl-!" Qin Mo went to help, but Nai Xiaotao's body was already heavier than her, and she was older than herself, so she couldn't help herself, but when she saw Xiao Tao's tears rolling, she was also anxious

"Why don't I want to drive you away, it's just that you have a daughter's family, and others are not allowed to laugh at you in the future, saying that you will keep it and become a big girl, and many women pursue happiness in the hope of finding a wishful husband, getting married and having children, how can I be willing to block the happiness that should belong to you for myself-!"

"If the girl really hurts Xiao Tao, put away these attention, Xiao Tao is the person who the girl bought with ten taels of silver, and she has long sworn in her heart that she will take care of the girl for a lifetime, she is a girl in this life, and death is the girl's ghost, if the girl is really tired of me and drives me out, I have no way to go, so I am not afraid to go to the ghost-!"

"Bah, bah, bah!" Qin Mo was anxious when he heard this, "What a ghost, how unlucky it is, I plan for you like this, but if you really don't have this intention, if you really don't want to marry, then follow me, but don't regret it in the future, and don't complain!" ”

Qin Mo saw such a big girl and said that these words that didn't know the severity were not laughing, nor were they angry... Xiao Tao's crying eyes were red, and she held back her tears when she heard Qin Mo say this, but for a moment she muttered, "As long as the girl doesn't drive me away, it will be absolutely impossible for me to regret it in my life!" ”

When Qin Mo heard this, he had no choice but to press the matter of this matchmaker first.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather is getting hotter day by day...

There was also a two-day holiday in the Xiangxiang School.

That Chen Gang's son, the son of the Qin family's eldest aunt, Qin Rui, went to the county for a county exam, but his grades were too poor, so he didn't study again, and the master who taught also said that he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to make it, even if Qin Mo didn't open his mouth, then Aunt Qin herself was embarrassed to ask Qin Mo to teach her son to study.

And Chen Gang originally wanted his son to learn to read Braille from the beginning, Qin Mo helped support the tuition for a few years, and after studying for several years, he could simply read and calculate after learning words, so he was embarrassed to let Qin Mo pay more.

And Qin Mo is only offering Xiangxiang now, and Chunsheng, the cost in the school has been reduced a lot.

Xiangxiang is his own sister in the end, and Qin Mo feels that he will not hesitate to spend more money for her.

It's just that Xiangxiang is different from herself, since she can remember, she has never suffered any hunger, compared to a person like Qin Mo who has worked hard, she also has less experience of the hard work, whether it is to use money and don't know how to feel distressed, but it is a bad problem.

I don't teach some problems when they appear again, and when I grow up, I can't correct them if I want to... But Qin Mo really loves this sister.

Now Qin Mo is thirteen years old, and Xiangxiang is eight years old, both of them have birthdays in autumn, just wait for two months, he will be fourteen, and Xiangxiang will be nine years old.

Qin Mo watched Xiangxiang grow taller little by little, from a little girl who used to cry to a big girl who could jump and be outgoing and active.

In midsummer, when I moved to Qin Lu, it was very cool, Qin Mo usually handled official business in the front hall, so he set up a small blue yarn cabinet here, which put a pair of tables and chairs, a low couch, and a chaise longue by the window, and lay here when he was sleepy at noon.

He covered his face with a handkerchief, put spices in the incense burner, and slowly burned it, letting it release wisps of fragrance, adding some peace to the whole summer..."Sister. Sister.! The little girl had a few braids on her head, which were tied by the grandmother who was newly invited into the house to teach her etiquette.

She wore a water-green satin coat with pink satin pants underneath, which was naturally a lotus-colored belly pocket embroidered by Qin Mo for her, and some silver rings tied around her neck, something with a long-life lock...

Qin Mo went to the temple to beg for her.

is five years old, and she is said to be the eldest sister, but she is a mother in the end.

The little girl rushed into the blue yarn cupboard all of a sudden, and Qin Mo was sleepy.

Suddenly, a hurried voice from her dispelled the drowsiness.

"What's wrong with you!"

Qin Mo opened his veil and sat up...

"Sister, isn't it my best friend who plays in the school is Li Hengtong, her uncle's family happens to be Qinzhou, and her family came to escape the summer, so she said let me go out to play-!"

Xiangxiang said with great interest.

And Qin Mo was disturbed by the sound of cicadas on the tree, and at this moment he saw Xiangxiang's excited appearance.

I guess I was tired of staying in the house for so many days, so I wanted to go out.

Although I thought this in my heart, I said, "What are you doing out on such a hot day, how can you be good if you have heat stroke!" ”

"No, it won't!" Xiangxiang's body twisted like the sugar mud, and when she heard Qin Mo say this, she was not happy, "Her uncle's house has a back garden, so we will play in the back garden of her uncle's house, it is cool there, except for Li Jingtong, and her two cousins, they say that they are happy to play together-!" ”

Qin Mo knew that even if she was not allowed to stay at home, she would be depressed and complain for a long time, and it just so happened that she was an active person.

Detention of her makes her feel uncomfortable.

I thought about it for a while, and after a while, I said, "That's it, just go to someone's house, don't make trouble for others casually, go out and tell the uncle who is driving the car to slow down on the road, don't be bumpy, your character, I'm crazy and crazy, especially if you run far, let Nian'er go with you-!" ”

Nian'er is one year older than Xiangxiang, but she is also not long-hearted, Qin Mo had to call Nian'er in and give some detailed instructions before calling.

The chicken farm set up a place on the outskirts of Linshui County, but the income was not high, so they sold a batch of old chickens, and looked for new male eggs to hatch a new batch.

The main purpose of hatching eggs is to control the temperature, and the previous steward Zhou, who managed the hatching, seemed to have experience, so he asked Qin Mo to mention yì.

Because Qin Mo's mass-produced eggs entered the market, the eggs in Linshui County generally dropped by one or two dollars in the past two years, and Qin Mo also knew that this was the law of the market, not only that, but the price of chickens had dropped slightly.

Although it is said that the income of ordinary people is less, Qin Mo still makes a lot of money by hundreds of eggs a day, and when he goes out for labor costs.

In this way, Qin Mo plans to buy land in Qinzhou and build two more chicken farms... In this way, the industry can expand even more...

Because in recent years, most of the money has been used to buy land, and there are more and more Zhuangzi in hand, collecting rent, paying taxes to the imperial court, and sometimes going down to see the crops of the farmers in person, and wanting to see the harvest of the Zhuangzi in their hands for a year.

In addition, some newly mastered rice and grain shops, plus some pawnshops, gambling houses, and opened a money bank of his own.

There are more and more items of various incomes, and there are all kinds of account books, although there are shopkeepers in each item, but the final income is still summarized in Qin Mo's hands, the business of the red makeup shop, because the cost of using aloe vera in Qinzhou is really high, and Qin Mo gradually delayed this business.

There is no more number of things sold every day.

Although it is less, it is especially expensive, but the price has only risen.

Red makeup shops are still the most popular among some official wives and concubines.
