In the middle of summer, the wind in the capital is hot.

Those big families and low-level officials dragged their families out of Beijing to escape the summer, and they didn't make the capital much cooler.

Ordinary people still have to do what they should do.

It's just that the business of the Yinlou spice shop is a little worse.

It's just that the books in these shops were almost sold before those big families left Beijing.

So the shopkeeper of the silver building was not in a hurry at all, holding a teapot (herbal tea), standing at the door of the silver building, and chatting with the owner of the spice shop opposite.

This spice shop has also been open for some years, and it used to belong to a large family, but after the rebellion in the capital, the family was beheaded, and the owner of the shop became mysterious.

Even the stewards have changed.

However, this new steward is much better at being a man than the original one with eyes on the top of his head, and he has a face like Maitreya Buddha, and he smiles when he sees people.

Soon after I arrived, I made good relations with the whole street.

Moreover, with the rebellion in the capital, the spices coming from Jiangnan are also decreasing, and there is no stock, so business is naturally not good.

No one thinks about the people behind him anymore.

It's just that last year, I don't know where the shopkeeper got a batch of spices, but Haosheng made a profit.

This year, before the caravan entered the city, they went to order the goods early.

This time it's a big profit, more than his silver building!

Of course, this time he also earned a few times from the gems from the Western Regions and Jiangnan.

(Now they are all sent to the county lord and Su Cen respectively)

"By the way, Lao Guo, I've been hearing about ambergris and ambergris these days, and I've heard that it's old and expensive, so you don't have to sell it?" The shopkeeper asked after taking a sip of tea.

"That thing, you can use it." Lao Guo pointed in the direction of the palace and said, "We can't afford to make that thing." ”

"You didn't do it, what ...... ambergris" The shopkeeper of the silver building paused and looked at a woman who was hurrying from the street.

The weather was too hot, and the woman did not wear a hat, but only a maid next to her, who covered her face with a fan.

However, the last time this woman came to the silver building, she left too deep an impression on the shopkeeper, and he recognized this half of her face.

Isn't this the daughter of the former governor of Jiangnan?

Last year, the matter of Qi Tianao, the governor of Jiangnan, was not well known in the capital because of the war at the border.

But he, who is doing business with a big family, naturally hears a lot.

At that time, Qi Tianao's prisoner car was still escorted by the son of the Zuo family and passed in front of their door.

I thought that I would be beheaded soon, but I ended up in prison all the time.

A few days ago, I heard that it was released.

But think about Mrs. Qi's style of spending a lot of money at the beginning, and then think about how long you can buy an official or a good position as long as you spend money now.

This is not surprising news.

The court of today......

The shopkeeper shook his head, saw that Miss Naqi was heading to the spice shop, and turned around and entered the room.

I heard that there is a lot of excitement in the summer resort, why don't he pack some new products and send them directly over there to make more money?

Anyway, those corrupt officials don't know how much silver they are greedy for at these times.

Qi Luoxia lowered her head and entered the spice shop.

It wasn't that she hadn't noticed the shopkeeper's sarcastic smile, but she had seen it a lot in the past few years, and besides, she didn't have the strength to pay attention to it now.

"Girl." Lao Guo greeted him with a smile on his face and said, "What does the girl need?" ”

Qi Luoxia glanced up at the not sumptuous spices in the store (they were almost sold), and said in a low voice: "May I ask the shopkeeper here, is there ambergris?" ”

Lao Guo was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "These days, there are so many people who ask about this, girl, we really don't have this, that ambergris is not an ordinary thing, it is really rare!" It's not just rare, you listen to this name, this is not something we can sell, with this, we have to send it to the palace quickly. ”

Qi Luoxia's face stiffened slightly, and she said in a low voice: "The shopkeeper, if there is news of ambergris, can you inform me, I am willing to accept it at a high price." ”

"I said it......" Lao Guo said, seeing Qi Luoxia's pitiful appearance, his heart softened again, and said, "Okay, I'll keep an eye on the girl." ”

"Thank you." Qi Luoxia gave a light salute, put a silver ingot on the counter, and said, "Trouble the shopkeeper, if there is any news, go to the third family in Xinghua Lane in the south of the city to inform it." ”

"Okay." Lao Guo nodded again and again, but did not take it.

After Qi Luoxia left with the maid, she nodded to the guy and motioned for the guy to get it, but there was no smile on his face.

The guy took the silver, pinched his finger on it, and said with a sneer: "Their family has a lot of money, you say, if the Han family knows that Qi Tianao was released and is not guilty, what will they do?" ”

Lao Guo sneered and said, "You should say, our boss wants to know, what will we do?" ”

If you almost killed the county lord, if you can make him better, then there will be a ghost.

Hook his fingers and let the guy get closer, Lao Guo said: "Did you send someone over there?" ”

"Shouldn't it?" The guy thought for a while and said, "Look at Miss Naqi, her face is so bitter and what's the matter." ”

Lao Guo smiled and said, "You go and ask over there, do you get a little bit of ambergris?" If you don't get it, go get it right away, let's sell it to that girl to make a profit, and then frame her. ”

The guy thought for a moment and gave a thumbs up, high!

Not far from the spice shop, the maid said softly: "Girl, it's not a way to lose money like this. ”

No one picked it up, so they wouldn't take it to heart.

Qi Luoxia sighed and said, "I know." ”

But what can she do? What else could she do?

Qi Tianao has been an official in Jiangnan for so many years, and what he leaked to Mrs. Qi was hundreds of thousands of taels, and he didn't know how much money he had.

Before Chu Yu was sure to order the arrest of people, all those who could be transferred had already been transferred.

Moreover, he also bribed Chu Zheng and Zuo Ming with money, so that they did not touch his family.

In this way, she can also follow into Beijing as an official lady, and then live in Ouyang Yuqian's house, wanting to run for her father in the capital.

But she used up the hundreds of thousands of silver tickets she brought with her, and she didn't save her father, but just made her father feel better in prison.

But later, someone found out about her actions and changed Qi Tianao to a cell, not to mention the gloomy and cold, and let people beat Qi Tianao every day, all kinds of torture, only one breath, so that he was still alive.

And after she made a fuss at the wedding banquet of the lord of Rongning, after going back, Ouyang Yuqian's mother-in-law directly asked her to leave.

At that time, all the money on her body had been used up, so she could only use it as jewelry and let her mother-in-law buy a small yard to live in.

That year was the most miserable year she lived.

Even when she learned that the general and the general of Zhenbei, the county lord Rongning, were missing, she couldn't make her feel anything.

Until the banner of the Qin family army was raised, the imperial court allowed the three states of the border pass to take care of themselves, and Wei Zhao had an accident, and the personnel in the court changed greatly.

She saw the light of day.
