At the same time, among the merchants.

Although Ji Qing didn't say a word at that time before, looking back now, he always feels like he had experienced something terrible before.

“...... I always felt that when Lao Ling and Miss Shang met before, the air was full of gunpowder, swords, swords, and swords, and there was no chance for me to interject...... Isn't that how women in this world talk to each other?"

If he can meet a good master in the future, he will not regard her as a concubine, but as a strategist, and maybe he will be able to achieve something in the future...... However, Ling Er Gongzi seems to be very good to her. Shang Li carefully examined the contents of the scroll, nodding from time to time.

"Her previous suggestion is also feasible Rhubarb is now sharp, and it is best not to make any big moves in the short term, you do need to keep quiet for a while now. ”

"But Miss was able to deal with Ling Gongzi and Miss Wang without being surprised before, Miss is really amazing. Green Yi praised Shang Li while combing her hair.

"Hmph, that's nature. Shang Li's little face was a little more proud.

"Coincidentally, I'm going to lose to Wusqi in this competition, so it's clumsy, right?"

"Although you can trust the Wuski, you still have to be careful, let the guard steward keep an eye on it, to avoid fraud, and ...... Ling Er Gongzi's suggestion is to let the two of you tie, so that neither side will be troubled by the Miao family, but Wu Shiqi's side ...... I'm afraid it's going to be a little dangerous. Shang Li was thoughtful.

"And what...... You don't have to worry about the marriage between our merchant and the Miao family, after a while, our merchant will naturally solve it. ”

"Okay. Ji Qing agreed very happily.

Time flew by, and soon it was time for the competition.

"Brother, you have to be careful on the road!" Wu Ya told carefully.

"Don't worry, I'll come back to visit you and your mother often in the future!" Wu Shiqi waved his hand, signaling his sister not to worry about herself.

But he had only walked a few steps before someone came to the door.

A carriage stopped not far from Wushiqi, and I saw the old man in it pull the curtain and shout to Wuqi: "Wushiqi, I am the manager of the Miao Mansion, get in the car." ”

"Miao Gongzi knows that you will be fighting with Shang Mansion Ji Qing in the carved sword platform today, so he specially asked me to come and give you a ride. The steward of the Miao Mansion opened his mouth straight to the point.

"In addition, Miao Gongzi also specially instructed me to hand this over to you. Immediately afterwards, the steward of the Miao Mansion took out a delicate hidden weapon, if you don't look closely, I'm afraid it will feel like a pen.

"This ...... This is a hidden weapon developed by Moyuan, a flying locust with flowing fire?! It can launch a hundred iron needles at a time, and it specializes in breaking the existence of the body protection technique!" As soon as Wu Shiqi saw the hidden weapon, he recognized it at a glance, after all, he was a diner in Diaofu, and he always had a basic understanding of things like secret weapons in Moyuan.

"Not only that, this stray fire flying locust has also deliberately quenched the poison of the rotten lungs on its iron needle, that Ji Qing is the body of Jiuli, and I heard that it has already refined the "Soldier's Body Dao" to the heavy realm of the Ding Body, but as long as there is this thing to help, it will definitely be able to cut the grass and eradicate the roots in one fell swoop!" said the steward of the Miao Mansion with compassion.

"What are you kidding? Ji Qing and I invited a fight, just to discuss martial arts, how can we do such a dirty thing?!" Wu Shiqi still couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart after all, so he retorted loudly at this moment.

"This is what Miao Gongzi meant, Diao Gongzi in your mansion has also agreed, Miao Gongzi has always been generous and magnanimous, and you will naturally have a share of glory and wealth afterwards. ”

"Wushiqi, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your family, do you know what happens to those who go against the will of Miao Gongzi?"

The remarks of the steward of the Miao Mansion undoubtedly gave him a warning, and by the way, he poured a basin of cold water, and Wu Shiqi finally recovered his reason from the blood just now, only to see him sweating on his forehead, quietly pulling the curtain, and seeing a place not far from him, Wu Ya's figure was still vivid.

Yes, even if he doesn't think about himself, but his mother and sister are innocent, this matter...... He had to do it if he didn't want to.

The Miao family, the Diao family, he can't afford to offend any of them, and at this moment Wu Shiqi suddenly feels very weak, so weak that anyone can instruct him to do the things he hated the most.

"Woo...... Uski, commanded. After a moment of hesitation, the Uskies finally relented.

The carriage continued to move in the direction of the carved sword platform.

Where Wu Shiqi lived, a figure stood on the roof of Wu Ya's house, with a pitch-black crow resting on his arm, but the crow's feet were tied to a small bamboo tube.

The reason why the crow was chosen is actually because the crow is considered an ominous bird in this era, but in fact, the crow is a very intelligent animal, and as long as it is well trained, it can obey many commands.

In the Ling Mansion, sixteen such crows have been trained, one male and one female are used to pair, a full eight pairs of crows, so that they can not only be used to transmit information, but also allow these crows to give birth to young birds and continue to serve the Ling Mansion in the future.

Usually, these crows are carefully fed with chicken and pork, and now, it is naturally their turn to work hard.

"Go, hurry up and fly back to Ling Mansion, everything is going according to plan. The figure straightened out the slightly messy wings of the crow on his arm, and then pointed up with his big hand, and the crow soared into the sky as if it had been commanded.

"Use crows to convey information, Childe is really resourceful, and it seems that tonight's wine will definitely be drunk, haha. ”

After a pillar of incense, the crow flew back to the periphery of the Ling Mansion, and at this time, there was already a figure waiting for it.

I saw that the figure waved his hand, and the crow flew to his arm very obediently, took off the small bamboo tube on its leg, and with another move of his hand, it took off again, slowly and leisurely swayed in a circle, and then slowly flew into the backyard of the Ling Mansion under the cover of other birds.

And when it returns to the Ling Mansion, it's time to feed it and maintain it.

The moment it just landed, someone immediately picked it up as a baby, the male crow's task today is over, and then it is its free time, the people in the Ling Mansion will feed it, will train it how to fly longer, and then let it "reunite" with its partners and chicks, and the next day, it will be replaced by a female crow to carry out the task of transmitting information, and the male crow will be responsible for taking care of the chicks, and rest by the way...... In the Ling Mansion, this has gradually become a daily routine.

What's more, taking care of these birds and their young birds can also get a reward from the son, so why not?

In line with the principle of "being cheap and not taking advantage of it", with the promotion of rewards, the subordinates of the Ling Mansion naturally fed the crows, groomed their feathers, and cleaned their excrement......

"Childe, Brother Yan has already done it, this is the news he passed on. Su Lie strode into the courtyard where Ling Hao was.

"Hmm...... Ah Lie, you have worked hard, go down and rest, let's eat tofu skin buns for dinner today. ”

"Understood, Childe. ”

Originally, according to the rules of this world, each person can only eat two meals a day, that is, breakfast and lunch, it is worth mentioning that the ancient lunch was not eaten at noon like later generations, but at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, so that there was no time to eat dinner, and the ancient productivity was insufficient, so naturally there would be no "dinner" This concept of life exists.

The concept of eating dinner will not appear until the Song Dynasty, and there is naturally no such thing in this world, but now that the Ling Mansion has money, it will naturally not let the diners continue to enjoy this kind of treatment, so Ling Hao waved his hand, we must have dinner, not to mention what to eat, but we must maintain the vigor of energy and physical strength, so it is necessary to eat dinner.

To do things for the Ling Mansion, the Ling Mansion not only paid the salary, but also fed people well, and even paid for the opening of a private school to teach them and their children how to read and write, this kind of treatment is almost unimaginable in this world, but Ling Hao did just that.

So he will be targeted by the Miao family, naturally there are reasons, one is because he has made a big deal about these "shocking" actions, and the movement has become too big, and all families have to pay attention to it, so that the cheap big brother Ling Xu has a headache when he sees him now, and for a long time, because of Ling Hao's "reckless behavior" , Ling Xu didn't know how many black pots he had carried for him, but the Ling family was getting stronger and stronger under Ling Hao's seemingly ridiculous operation, and almost all the small families and small wealthy families in Yongcheng were gradually moving closer to the Ling family, and the reason was very simple, with the Ling Mansion all having money to make and meat to eat.

The second is ...... I just married a concubine from a small wealthy family a few days ago, hmm...... is the daughter of the small wealthy family mentioned by Big Brother Cheap many times before, and the Miao family doesn't know where to hear the rumors, so they put themselves on the blacklist.

Although she is only a concubine, Ling Hao is quite satisfied, it seems that this girl's maiden family is very good at investing, although the two families are a little farther apart, but they are willing to send their daughter directly to Yongcheng, this sincerity is enough to prove that the other party really wants to make friends with the Ling family.

Ling Hao is naturally not ambiguous, although this single family is located in the border area of Qin and Zhao, once the two countries go to war in the future, it is very likely that they will encounter accidents, but the single family has such sincerity and courage, Ling Hao will naturally not be stingy to give some benefits to his mother's family, no, a few days ago, he just sent all the seeds of pepper, pepper, soybeans, and watermelon to the single family, and by the way, a few people explained to them what the role of these seeds is, although it was very hard to come and go, Ling Hao was happy in it.

"Husband. The young beauty in the study saw Ling Hao come in, and greeted her with Nana, looking indescribably well-behaved and sensible.

"Ying'er, I've told you a few times, and we don't have so many rules in Lingfu, you married from afar, the person who should say that you are rude should be my husband. Ling Hao gently took her into his arms, sniffed the fragrance emanating from her body, and smiled evilly.

Shan Ying's pretty face with a little baby fat was slightly red, and she only leaned obediently in Ling Hao's arms, but she looked even more cute.

This Shan Ying is the link between the Shan family and the Ling family, she is indeed a very beautiful and lovely woman, I heard that she is also famous in the territory of Zhao State, but the Shan family can be willing to seek the near and far, and directly "airlift" her to the Qin State, presumably she must have made up her mind.

However, Ling Hao later learned that it was Shan Ying's own request, because of Shan Ying's appearance, it added a lot of trouble to the Shan family, and there has been an endless stream of high-ranking families who came to propose marriage to the Shan family, and some people have relied on the power of the family to force Shan Ying to marry several times, and the Shan family is only a small wealthy family, these families can't afford to offend, Shan Ying really can't stand such a toss, and finally took the initiative to marry in Yongcheng, Qin State......
