Although Qingshuang's speculation was in the past, Ah Yao didn't really suspect Brother Jing much in her selfish heart. Although he has often been moody since they met at the foot of the East Mountain, and he has not been less despised for his stupidity, she believes in her feelings.

Brother Jing has no ill will towards her.

But now, the businessmen who have always been close to the Shen family and look down on her as a girl are uncharacteristically praised, but her firm mind has been shaken. Although on the surface, he only dealt with businessmen who were attached to the Shen family, and this move was beneficial to the Hu family, it stands to reason that she should be grateful.

But in her previous life, she had experienced too much of this goodness, and the nurse who seemed to be good to her betrayed her at the most critical time, and Song Qinwen, who left her man's self-esteem and her own future to join the Hu family at the critical moment, also had other plans, as well as Shen Moci, Song Qinrong, and Hu Jiashu, why didn't they treat her unusually friendly or deliberately curry favor with her before, but it turned out that they were all for the Hu family's money.

The lesson of her previous life was too tragic, except for Daddy, all the people who were good to her were interested in the Hu family's money.

"The little marquis came to Qingcheng to recruit military salaries."

"Who in Qingcheng doesn't know that the master loves the girl the most, and it is more useful to help the girl than to help the master."

Qingshuang's words rang in her ears when she was dressing up in the morning, and Ah Yao began to think uncertainly. On the one hand, she knew that it was wrong to wronged a person who was so helpful to her without evidence; But on the other hand, the lessons of her previous life were so tragic that it was really hard for her not to doubt them.

Is this girl suspicious of him?

Closer, Lu Jingyuan could see the suspicion on her face, and the slightest hesitation when she frowned at his chest.

Seeing that the dogleg who has been attached to the Shen family and opposed the Hu family for many years is now flattering her in every way, as a member of the Hu family, even if she is not happy, at least she has to raise her eyebrows a little. Hu Jiuling's suspicion can be understood, after all, the old fox is deep in thought, but how can a stupid girl who has always been simple-minded show such an expression.

A picture flashed in my mind, the expression on the girl's face when I poked my head out of the car window when Dongshan and the first time we met in this life. It was not a doubt, but a shock.

Why was she shocked? and her inexplicable deep hatred for Shen Moci later.

Lu Jingyuan intuitively felt that he was very close to the truth, but now that he was down to business, he couldn't help but think about it deeply.

"Then there is Lao Ayao."

Nodding slightly, he solemnly instructed A-Yao.

Although Lu Jingyuan's heart was full of threads, it was actually just an inconspicuous moment. And in this moment, A-Yao also made up her mind.

Recruiting military salaries is a major matter for the imperial court, and the Hu family is just a small businessman, and with such a disparity in status, it doesn't matter whether she trusts or doubts it personally. Anyway, with Daddy here, even in the worst case, the Hu family will not suffer any big losses, at least it will not be worse than other merchants. In this way, she only needs to do what is in front of her.

"I don't dare to be, but Ah Yao knows that she is not good at managing accounts, so in order to prevent mistakes, she thought of a way overnight."

In fact, Lu Jingyuan also understands A-Yao's ability, and the reason why he is relieved to let her keep accounts is just because he believes that he will never forget it. He will not forget the specific donation figures, and he will not forget them once they say it, so he doesn't need anyone to keep accounts at all. But compared to Shen Moci, there are too few times when a silly girl shows her face, even if she has two gold signboards supported by Master Kukai and Mo Daru, she still needs a little actual merit. Today's conscription banquet is big enough, and the weight is enough, what better gilded occasion than this?

With such good intentions, she still doubts him!

That is, she, if she were anyone in the world, had already been ordered by him to lift her limbs and unceremoniously fork out!

"How? Let's talk about it. ”

Lu Jingyuan is not worrying about the sky, although there are two masters, most people in Qingcheng subconsciously think that the Hu family girl is very powerful, but only the irrelevant people in the market think so. After Hu Jiuling announced on the spot that the Hu family would be inherited by Ayao in the future, these silk merchants who took ten steps to see one step at a time, especially those who were attached to the Hu family, all put a question mark in their hearts.

Others don't know, they don't know that Hu Jiuling has a favorite daughter, that is, a lord who wants the stars and not the moon. They have seen a lot of embroidered pillows, can such a delicate girl support the Hu family? In the future, with such a person, their future is worrying......

hesitated, and they inevitably paid more attention to A-Yao. It would have been up to her to have an idea, and they would have seen it together.

"It's a bargaining chip."

"Chips? Could it be that the gambling house replaces the copper coins? ”

The currency in circulation in Bactria was not gold and silver, but copper coins and copper. One copper coin can be exchanged for ten coppers, eight copper pieces of cabbage buns just out of the pot, and firewood, rice, oil and salt are only a few dollars, which is completely enough for daily life. You can't carry a bag of copper coins to the gambling house, you don't think the dealer can also think that the gambling table can't be opened, and it's troublesome to count after the dealership. I don't know when chips became popular in gambling houses. Wood brands are dyed in different colors to represent different values, which is simple and convenient.

These silk merchants present did not play mahjong at home in their spare time, and then learned that set. Listening to what A-Yao said, many people understand.

"Yes, it's the chips." Ah Yao stood up and opened the baggage she was carrying, which contained four chips of different colors.

"I thought about it, the four colors of red, orange, yellow and green represent 10,000 taels, 1,000 taels, 100 taels and 10 taels, nine pieces of each type, which can represent any number. In addition, I have prepared some golden special chips, if someone raises more than 100,000 taels, I will exchange these chips and order people to beat gongs and drums along the street to announce the good news. ”

The girl of the Hu family is really smart, so they can finally rest assured, the businessman who is attached to the Hu family thinks so.

Most people are simply fascinated by this idea, and they report the good news along the street, which is a big face. Several wealthy businessmen had already begun to sum up, and before they could make up their minds, they heard the voice of the little marquis:

"Not necessarily."

Need not? The businessmen are not stupid, they know that this seems to be a way to fight for face, but it is actually asking them to pay more. But then again, they are happy to spend a little more money to buy face. But what's the situation now? When the matter came to an end, the little marquis who should have been most happy to see it was the first to speak out against it?

In the surprised eyes of everyone, they saw the little marquis take out a gold medal from his arms. The pure gold medal carved with a five-clawed golden dragon flashed dazzling in the morning light at the door, and people couldn't help but have the idea of bowing and worshiping when it came out.

"Take this gold medal and use the state government's honor guard to open the way, and the rest will remain the same."

The stupid girl came up with such a way to help him, and he had to support him no matter what.

The gold medal on behalf of the emperor in person, and the state capital honor guard that can only be used by officials? In terms of status, their merchants are not even as good as those masons, how can they ever receive such preferential treatment. This is not just a face, it is simply a glorious ancestor and a big face. Donate, you have to donate, this kind of good thing is not in this village, even if you lose a little more money, you have to donate.

The businessmen who were attached to the Hu family and the neutral were thinking so, and the businessmen who were attached to the Shen family and were caught red-handed at the banquet in the annex last night were simply crying without tears. Knowing that there was such a good thing, even if they smoked Hibiscus last night, they had to stay awake. It's all to blame Shen Jinshan, digging such a big pit, it can be regarded as a miserable pit for them.

For a while, many hateful eyes looked at Shen Jinshan, and Shen Jinshan was unaware of it under pressure. Across the table of the little marquis in the middle, he looked at Hu Jiuling on the other side. The gold medal ordered arrows and the state government's honor guard parade to the streets to announce the good news, and these honors were enough to wash away the notoriety of the Shen family during this time. Everyone knows that the first trip must be the most dignified, and Hu Jiuling is his biggest enemy.

Ignoring Shen Jinshan's secret rivalry and his dog-legged depression, with such a colorful head hanging, everyone present was full of expectations for the next recruitment banquet. Before the feast began, the atmosphere became lively.

"Shen gave 100,000 taels."

After Lu Jingyuan sat down, the chips were distributed, and Shen Jinshan took the lead.

At this moment, the little marquis in the main seat is still immersed in the word "chips". In the previous life, Qingcheng also had a matter of recruiting military salaries, but the Qin Cha who would come here chose to cooperate with the Shen family, and the recruitment banquet was held by Shen Moci, a beloved disciple and talented woman who was famous in Qingcheng at that time, and she also used chips that day.

It's the same chip, but the two use it in completely different ways. On that day, Shen Moci prepared a warm pot banquet and called a lot of beautiful Qinglou girls, and the people who came to the banquet after three rounds of wine played pai gow, and pai gow also has bets. With the influence of A Furong and the beauty in her arms, all the businessmen who don't know what time is going to lose a lot.

Yesterday, A-Yao also mentioned the hot pot banquet, and when she mentioned the chips, a doubt rose in Lu Jingyuan's heart: Could it be that the stupid girl had the same adventure as him and was reborn?

Thinking about it this way, it seems to explain all the anomalies in this month.

But then she said something completely different, and his mind began to waver. The matter of being born again is unheard of, and it is inconceivable that there is one of them, how can there be two at the same time. What shakes him even more is the temperament of the silly girl, whoever has experienced such a tragic encounter in his previous life, his heart will also change, not to mention that his heart is as hard as iron, at least there will be some differences. And in this month, the silly girl is still pampered, innocent and kind, and the whole person is completely like a delicate flower raised in the boudoir for thirteen years without any wind and rain.

The latter point is what confuses him the most.

He was puzzled, and then he heard Shen Jinshan speak.

Idiot, obviously his attitude towards the Hu family has been so obvious, but he still rushed up regardless of it. Sure enough, as long as the benefits are big enough, people can leave a qiē behind and take risks.

Although Lu Jingyuan thought that he was very partial to the Hu family, whether it was helping Ayao or discussing with Hu Jiuling, most of these things were done in secret. In the eyes of outsiders, the little marquis is still very impartial and selfless, although he has a relationship between his brother and sister, he still holds a recruitment banquet and elects the head of the meeting openly.

Shen Jinshan thought so, so he was extremely happy with his money, and after shouting it, he looked at Hu Jiuling provocatively.

"Hu Mou was also about to say, he didn't want to be preempted by Brother Shen, so Hu Mou would go ......out first" Hu Jiuling picked up a green chip, "Ten taels of silver." ”
