Chapter 240 is extremely ugly

The shopkeeper was in front of Qiu Chen, and between the two of them was the long table full of wooden boxes.

The knife watched it fall, and the shopkeeper seemed to be frightened, but he stared at the whistling scimitar with wide eyes and a frightened face, and he was stunned and couldn't move.

Qiu Chen was also afraid, as the cold light of the blade approached, the blood in her body seemed to be coagulated all of a sudden, and she could clearly feel the cold hairs on her body instantly stand upright, but she couldn't care about these at this time, almost instinctively, and smashed out the wooden box containing the music box in her hand with a wave of her hand.

She didn't care if the wooden box hit anyone, leaned over and pulled things up from the long table, and smashed them almost completely without looking at the direction......

The sound of crackling objects hitting the ground sounded continuously, Qiu Chen held a slender wooden box in his hand, held it tightly in his hand, and swept his gaze, making sure that the knife-wielding guard seemed to have avoided it, but the blade was still slashed on the shoulder of the shopkeeper...... A stream of hot blood rushed to her brain, she completely forgot that she was thin and weak, and she didn't have any force value at all, and she grabbed the long wooden box with both hands, and rushed straight out, smashing it towards the guard without a head.

Fell on the shoulder of the shopkeeper, before he had time to pull it up, Qiu Chen waved the wooden box and smashed it into the guard's ear, the well-made wooden box was made of haode rosewood, heavy and hard, Qiu Chen almost rounded it and chopped it down with all his might, the guard didn't have time to react, he snorted, and planted it crookedly, half of his head was bloody, and he couldn't see how the injury was......

Qiu Chen didn't give the others a chance to react at all, and raised his voice to beckon: "Don't help your shopkeeper yet!" ”

The woman, who might have been the proprietress of the proprietor, was the first to react, crying and pounced, and picked up the shopkeeper, and the two young men were also frightened, but they were not bad, and ran up, and one of them helped the shopkeeper to the chair next to him and sat down.

Yufeng also reacted at this time, and out of nowhere she found a long broom and held it in her hand, ran to Qiu Chen's side, and tightly protected her behind her.

After a period of chaos, the arrogant woman opposite obviously had never seen this kind of scene, she was already stupid in fright, her face was pale, she could barely stand, and she relied on the two girls behind her to support her so that she would not collapse to the ground.

Qiu Chen held his breath, holding the long box in his hand tightly with both hands, straightening his back, tilting his chin slightly, and staring at the woman opposite with a cold gaze without a trace of warmth. The woman completely lost her initial arrogance and domineering, and she knew that she was trembling all over, leaning on the girl behind her, trembling her hands and wanting to say something, her teeth were tight, but she couldn't say a word.

No one on either side spoke, and the scene that was about to die or live suddenly quieted down, forming a very wonderful and weird confrontation situation!

"Hey, I said you take it slowly, Mrs. Lin is just shopping, and there won't be anything going on......" A familiar voice came in from the door.

Before the voice fell, a group of people rushed in from outside the door, Liao Wenqing took the lead, and Lin Xu and Yun Jichen followed closely behind him. Liao Wenqing, who was walking in front, had already sensed that the situation was wrong, but before he could understand it, Lin Xu had already followed closely and shouted with a happy face: "Sister-in-law...... Sister-in-law? ”

The first sister-in-law screamed with great joy, but the second was that she had already seen the guards lying on the ground and a large messy bloodstain......

Almost at the same time as the second shout, Lin Xu raised his feet and rushed over, stretched out his hand to protect Qiu Chen, and pointed at several people on the opposite side and said angrily, "Who are you?" In broad daylight, how can you be allowed to hurt people in public? ”

After Lin Xu finished this series of actions and reprimands, Liao Wenqing and Yun Jichen also reacted, Yun Jichen stopped for the first time, waved his hand, and the two inconspicuous entourages following him had already jumped up, swept through the crowd, and landed directly in the middle of the two sides of the confrontation.

In between, there was also a small episode, the two guards were agile and neat, but they didn't notice the messy boxes all over the floor, and when one of the guards landed, they actually landed on a slightly larger wooden box - they also landed steadily, and did not fall!

Of course, this small episode was not noticed by anyone, and it did not affect the movements and actions of the two guards in the slightest. At the same time as landing, he did not hesitate to move his hands, and he took them in place one by one, and knocked out the other guard and the two mothers-in-law beside the woman, and the two little girls were so frightened that they had long since lost their color, but they still tried to support their master.

"It's just that I'm stunned, it's okay!" One of the guards examined the bloody wounded on the ground and raised his voice to report it.

Qiu Chen's gaze swept over the people on the ground, his chest was slightly uncomfortable, but he didn't have the slightest regret or fear.

This person slashed with a knife, and she subconsciously hit the most vulnerable part of the human body directly...... If it weren't for the fact that she was short and a little off, if she had struck this person's sun all at once, it might have ...... 'big problem'!

Liao Wenqing also rushed up at this time, there was no one else in his eyes to support Qiu Chen, and he asked urgently, "How are you?" Where did it hurt? ”

Qiu Chen let go in one breath, his body softened, and he almost fell into Liao Wenqing's arms. Liao Wenqing hurriedly reached out to wrap his hand around her shoulder, and as soon as he leaned on this support, Qiu Chen regained his footing, took a breath, turned his head, and nodded at Liao Wenqing with a smile: "I'm fine!" ”

Before her words fell, she heard a girl behind her stumble and stumble to hold on to her momentum, and shouted: "Bold, do you know the identity of my master......"

Before she could finish speaking, one of Yun Jichen's guards raised his hand, and his hand fell into a palm and slashed straight down at the back of the little girl's neck.

At the same time, Liao Wenqing turned around suddenly, and with a quick movement, he actually rushed in front of the guard who waved his hand, raised the fan in his hand and pointed at the girl, and pointed at the woman in the gorgeous dress who was standing there supported by the two girls and said angrily: "Who you are!" No matter who you are, you can't kill people wantonly in this blue sky and white day, in full view of everyone! ”

The girl who was already holding on to her momentum was so frightened by his explosion that she couldn't say anything anymore. However, the horror on the face of the gorgeous woman turned into anger, and she glared at Liao Wenqing and said, "You ......"

"What are you? A woman like you, thinking that she is tall in brocade clothes? Think that if you insert gold and silver, you will be more noble and respectful than others? I've seen a lot of women like you, what else is there besides this brocade dress and a head full of pearls? It's so ugly that it's disgusting and makes you want to vomit at a glance! After a series of sarcasm and sarcasm, Liao Wenqing didn't give the woman a chance to refute at all, and shouted angrily at Yun Jichen and his escorts, "What are you still standing for?" Why don't you take these laipi spills out and send them to the official for questioning? ……”

After a pause, his eyes swept to see the bloodstained scimitar on the ground, and he repeatedly instructed: "Take this, bring this murder weapon with you!" carried a murder weapon in broad daylight...... Hum! ”

The entourage of guards stepped forward in response, carrying a few fainting guards on the ground, and someone escorted the woman in gorgeous clothes and two girls and drove them out.

As soon as he entered the store, as soon as he noticed that the situation was wrong, Yun Jichen's little servant Zhishu turned around and ran back very knowingly, and quickly ran to call the entourage guards of Yun and Liao Er's families who stayed on the street.

Just now, when the little girl wanted to reveal her identity, she was almost knocked unconscious, this woman is not completely stupid, and she also knows that these people will not listen to her identity, so she pursed her lips, and she was angry but didn't say anything. The only sober little girl left beside her also aimed at her master, supporting her master and walking out step by step.

Somehow, after the woman in the gorgeous dress walked a few steps, she actually lost her previous horror, and she didn't have the previous coquettishness and rudeness, but the arrogance on her face gathered again, she paused, turned her head to stare at Liao Wenqing, and smiled unexpectedly: "You have to remember what you said, don't regret it!" ”

"I am worthy of what I say and do, so why regret it? Go, go! Liao Wenqing responded coldly, and impatiently waved his hand to urge the entourage guards to take the group out.

Qin Li was standing outside the shop at this moment, but after making sure that Qiu Chen was not in danger, he couldn't walk in...... He recognized the woman, although he didn't dare to say whether the other party would recognize him, but in this case, he would never dare to take risks, so he could only avoid it first.

It's just that he inevitably loses his duty of guard, because of his brief departure, because of his poor guarding, his wife is in danger......

Alas, Qin Li let out a long sigh and slammed his fist against the wall. Since he was wrong, he didn't want to escape, and when his wife was sent back safely, he went to the Hou Ye to ask for his guilt!

"Sister-in-law...... Did you hurt anything? Lin Xu stared at those people being taken away, and immediately turned around to ask about Qiu Chen's situation, and before he finished his sentence, his eyes were red, and he almost burst into tears.

Qiu Chen had regained his calm and composure at this time, although his face was still a little pale, but the panic and panic in his psychology had eased a lot.

She tried her best to make herself smile, raised her hand and patted Lin Xu's arm, and said, "Sister-in-law is fine, you see, sister-in-law didn't hurt ...... at all."

Speaking of this, Qiu Chen remembered that there was another wounded person in the store, and hurriedly turned his head to look at the shopkeeper on the chair, and saw that although the shopkeeper was bleeding a lot, he was very conscious, and the wound on his arm had been tightly wrapped in clothes, which was regarded as the most basic treatment for stopping bleeding from trauma.

"I'm fine, but the shopkeeper injured my arm in order to protect me...... Qiu Chen said, Liao Wenqing had already ordered the myrrh, "Hurry up and invite Xue Langzhong, and bring two bottles of healing medicine!" ”

Myrrh agreed, turned around and walked away.

Qiu Chen, Liao Wenqing and Yun Jichen, who came over, gathered at this time, Yun Jichen looked at Qiu Chen with a smile on his face and said, "You are really, why did you get into trouble when you came out to shop?" ”

Qiu Chen spread his hands and sighed helplessly: "I'm also very innocent, okay, I just want to buy a few gadgets for the children, but I didn't expect that I was about to let the shopkeeper pay the checkout money, the woman rushed in, and she had to ask me to pick something, and the shopkeeper persuaded her to choose another, and said that she didn't agree to take another one for her...... If you don't agree with each other, you will be robbed by people, and the shopkeeper will stop you slightly, and you will almost be cut on the spot...... Fortunately, although I hurt my arm, I didn't hurt my life! ”

As he spoke, Yufeng and Yuliang had already packed up the boxes and boxes scattered on the ground and put them back on top of the long table.

The shopkeeper had just closed his eyes and rested, and now he felt a little better, so he opened his eyes and struggled to get up: "Help me up, I want to thank this lady for saving her life, if it weren't for this lady, my life would be here today." ”

Qiu Chen hurriedly stopped: "What are the shopkeeper's words, if it weren't for the shopkeeper's protection of us, we wouldn't have been angry and hurt by that person, speaking of which, we should be more grateful to the shopkeeper......"

Yun Jichen took two steps forward, raised his hand and pressed the shopkeeper who was still struggling to get up, and said with a smile: "I said Boss Huang, don't be polite, although you are injured in this matter, but the fault is not the two of you, so there is no need for the two of you to be so polite......

The shopkeeper just saw Yun Jichen at this time, and after being slightly stunned, his body was raised violently as if he was about to struggle to get up, but his body was only half a minute away from the chair, and he was pressed down by the heavy pressure on his shoulders. I couldn't get up and salute, so I could only smile with admiration on my face: "Thanks to the two masters for coming in time, otherwise it would ......"

Yun Jichen didn't listen to his long-winded politeness, waved his hand to interrupt him, and ordered the guards to step forward and help the shopkeeper into the lounge at the back.

Qiu Chen pulled the young man who received her at the beginning, and didn't see if he picked it out by himself, but he bought the box box that she smashed to the ground no matter what, and asked the young man to keep a list, and after that, when the shopkeeper's injury improved, he took the list and went to Mao'er Hutong to get silver.

These boxes were smashed on the ground, and the contents inside were most likely damaged, and this lady bought them all, in fact, it was more about compensating them for their losses...... This young man admired, naturally very polite, and wrote it down seriously, Qiu Chen didn't stay long, Yun Jichen left a book and waited for Lang Zhong to arrive, and the others cheered out of the southern goods store together, got into the carriage without a word, and went straight back to the city.

Back at the Lin family, a few people freshened up a little and sat down on the kang in the east of the Lin family, Qiu Chen felt the warmth of the kang noodles, took a sip of a cup of hot tea, and then frowned and asked, "Where is that woman?" Do you recognize it? ”

Yun Jichen and Liao Wenqing glanced at each other, Yun Jichen shook his head and smiled: "That woman is dressed in wealth, and she is also from a big family, and she will not go out easily on weekdays, even if there is contact with each other, it is only the exchange between relatives in the backyard, how can we meet, where do we know her!" ”

Liao Wenqing looked directly at Qiu Chen and said with relief: "You don't have to worry, no matter whose family she is, she can't say anything about today's affairs...... You can rest in peace, take a convulsive pill at night to suppress the convulsion! ”

Qiu Chen smiled and shook his head: "I was very scared at the time, but half a day has already passed, I am not frightened, I don't need to eat that ......" Seeing that Liao Wenqing's worry was unabated, even Yun Jichen was a little disappreciative, and he had to laugh again, "You also know, I'm not the backyard woman who hasn't been out...... The situation of the water bandits was several times more tragic than this...... In the epidemic area, there are more dead people...... Well, so, the guts are also experienced, and you don't need to be so careful! ”

Yun Jichen's face sank, and Liao Wenqing's face was not good-looking, but he still nodded slightly, and then instructed: "If you feel uncomfortable, take a pill, don't delay!" ”

Lin Xu, who had been silent, spoke beside him: "Don't worry, I will take care of my sister-in-law!" ”

Yun Jichen glanced at Lin Xu, then turned his gaze back to look at Liao Wenqing, the two quickly exchanged glances, and then quickly dispersed.

Qiu Chen told the two of them again that he would go home for two days, soothe and soothe, and take the old man and children into the city for the festival by the way. Naturally, the topic of several people turned to the Chung Yeung Festival, and the atmosphere was obviously relaxed.

Yun Jichen said with a smile: "It's okay to say goodbye to the Double Ninth Festival, if the newly fu poems are done well, they will be sent to the flower boat immediately, and they will be sung by the popular kabuki and oiran...... It's really interesting, and in order to be in the limelight, many people will spend money to buy poems and lyrics written by poor scholars, and use them to win fame......"

Liao Wenqing touched his nose and glanced at Yun Jichen a little uncomfortably: "Some people are not much better, and they are not relying on the customers under the door, and they are not much different from those who spend money to buy poetry......

Qiu Chen and Lin Xu looked at each other, both of them full of interest. Listening to the words of the two people, they were all at the beginning, and maybe they even did it, this is a very rare secret anecdote!

It's just that Yun Jichen and Liao Wenqing obviously don't want to make fun of others with their private affairs, so they have changed the topic so far.

"I'm ashamed...... Yun Jichen said with a smile, "However, this year these may have to take a back seat...... It is said that this year, the Marquis of Jingbei proposed to change the atmosphere and hold a garden party, which included poetry recitation, pot throwing and archery, and guessing riddles...... and many other projects, as long as you enter the park, you can choose one or more of your own good at participating, each of which takes the top three, encourages you, and has prizes to get...... Of course, there are also conditions for entering the garden, or there is fame, or money...... When I went to Zuihou, the silver taels I got were thrown out for the flowers of the garden party, and they were used to help the victims......"

"Oh?" Qiu Chen is not good at poetry or anything, but this method of raising relief funds by holding garden parties makes her find it quite interesting. Surprised, he couldn't help but laugh, "This thing is really good...... Well, it would be nice to add another charity auction and raise more money to do! ”

"Charity auction?" Yun Jichen's eyes lit up, he sat up straight and said, "You tell me carefully, now there are still a few days before the Double Ninth Festival anyway, if you can, you can add it completely!" ”

Without the relief of silver taels, the victims could not get relief, and no one could compare to his father Yun Yizhou the most. Although the Yun family, he Yun Er has silver, but this kind of eye-catching thing, he has to take it, but he must not go too far, once it passes, who knows if it will be extended to his father's official reputation!

No, it's not possible, but once he reveals his wealth and attracts the attention of someone with a heart, he will definitely associate the money he earns from business with his father! Therefore, it is no wonder that he is so concerned about the fact that he can collect more money and silver.

"Charity Auction...... It is the gentry and wealthy families in the city, donating some daily objects, or a calligraphy and painting, or a jade pendant, or a gold hairpin, bracelet, etc., gathered together for an auction, after setting the reserve price, and then the people present bid freely, and the highest bidder wins! Because it is about compassion and doing good, the participants buy things secondarily, and more importantly, they do good deeds and accumulate merit...... In this way, not only will we be able to raise more money, but we will also be able to better spread the word of compassion and goodness......"

What Qiu Chen didn't say was that this kind of charity auction was the easiest to cause comparisons and wealth, and the auction proceeds were more than ordinary auctions.

Yun Jichen praised him again and again, but he didn't leave immediately, but asked again: "What other way do you think about it?" ”

Qiu Chen smiled and spread his hands: "I just saw such a record from the book, how can I know anything else." ”

Lin Xu frowned beside him, and then hesitated to speak: "I, the little brother has an idea......

Yun Jichen immediately turned his attention, stared at Lin Xu and encouraged, "Tell me about it!" ”

Lin Xu was a little shy, but he still tried to correct the color, and said with a calm mood: "Didn't Second Brother Yun just say that on the day of Chongyang, there will be kaki and flowers...... Does Oiran sing hymns? You can arrange a contest and have a contest where participants must buy tickets and naturally get some silver taels! ”

Yun Jichen nodded with a smile, but he couldn't speak, Liao Wenqing also looked at Lin Xu and smiled, and almost lowered his head to his chest when he laughed at Lin Xu, who was already embarrassed.

Qiu Chen raised his hand and patted him as a sign of comfort, and interrupted the two smiling men and said, "Second brother's method is really feasible, but just the entrance ticket is too few...... We can divide the entry ticket into three categories, one is the gold coupon, the second is the silver coupon, and the third is the bamboo stick. Only ten gold coupons are made, and the organizers will select ten highly respected Confucians to send them out for free, and invite them to judge the poems. 100 silver coupons, 10 taels of silver; There is no limit to the number of bamboo sticks, one or two pieces of silver, this gold coupon is top ten silver coupons, and the silver coupon is top ten bamboo sticks, and the name brands of those kaki and oiran are put under a pot, and the statistics of the income under each person's name determine the victory or defeat...... Of course, those courtesans and oirans also have to set up a color head, or a flower crown, or whatever, and the competition is just a name......"

From these, Qiu Chen thought of all kinds of title advertisements and sign advertisements...... If these fairs, charity auctions, and golem fairs were able to attract advertisements from merchants, the huge advertising costs would be much higher than those for admission tickets and entrance tickets......

It's just that Qiu Chen thought about it and noticed the satisfied smiles of Yun Jichen and Liao Wenqing, and knew that the previous methods were enough, so she still shouldn't be too presumptuous, it would be troublesome if it was too abnormal and suspicious.

Liao Wenqing also excitedly echoed Qiu Chen and said: "You don't need to build a platform, just use a big painting boat in the middle of the South Lake, and the cruise ships around the lake can only be ...... with silver coupons and bamboo sticks."

While these people were extremely excited about what the Lin family said, they didn't know that Yun Yizhou, the prefect of Anyang, was having a headache......

------Off topic------

Whew, it's finally out, 12,000, dear, your urging task is complete......
