The terrain of Yuzhang County is dangerous, there is the reputation of "three rivers and five lakes, control the barbarian thorns and lead Ouyue", it is a rich place since ancient times, and there have been many people who have heard the words of the world, and the writers and heroes of Confucianism.

It's a pity that after the founding of the Great Chu, Yuzhang's talents withered slightly, and there were no top three people in a hundred years, and the fame of literary talents gradually faded.

However, the businessmen and the rich ones are on the one hand.

Among them is the famous hairpin ornament family Qi.

The ancestors of the Qi family only started with a piece of wood, bamboo and a knife, and after a hundred years of hard work, they have achieved today's reputation.

The old lady of Qi who is in charge of the feed, Kang's is even more eclectic, so that the extraordinary sister-in-law Qi Xin is in charge of the Qi family's hairpin decoration workshop, and its unique "flying feather hairpin" series has won the appreciation of the nobles in the south of the Yangtze River, and successfully let Qi's "Tao Yao Zhai" enter the prosperous county governments in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Tao Yao Zhai" takes its meaning of "IKEA IKEA", which is deeply liked by the middle and upper classes.

It's a pity that Qi Xin's life is thin, and he died at thirty, seeing that there is no heir to inherit his unique craft, he is anxious to break the old lady Qi, but fortunately, the younger generation has a beautiful jade of Qi Qingyu.

The reason why Qi Qingyu knew that Old Lady Qi treasured a large number of purple crows was entirely because of the memories of the previous life.

Although it is a treasure treasured by Mrs. Qi, for the sake of the Qi family and Tao Yaozhai, she let it go.

For the sake of prudence, when Old Lady Qi opened the treasure house, only Changfang was present.

An insect-proof brocade box made of camphor wood with at least two hundred rings or more was taken out of the treasure house by the old lady and carefully placed on a plain mahogany table.

"Six girls, this is a gem that your eldest aunt accidentally discovered, even if you have a vision, you understand the benefits of this purple crow at a young age." Old Lady Qi opened the brocade box, and the bright purple light flowed brightly under the lamplight, which immediately caught everyone's attention.

"Grandmother, can you let Liangyu take a look too?" Qi Liangyu, the eldest lady and the Cui family were all standing three feet away, and only the old lady, Qi Changye and Qi Qingyu were gathered around the mahogany table.

The old lady waved her hand and beckoned them over, "I can't see it, come here." "This Qi family will also be handed over to Changfang in the future.

Qi Qingyu concentrated on picking up a purple crow and placed it under the orange lamp to inspect it carefully, it was transparent and clear, exuding a starlight-like beauty, and it was indeed a high-grade purple red star.

If it is in the shining sun, how beautiful and moving!

"Father, according to my pattern, I need to use an even number of seventy-two, do you think this is enough?" Qi Qingyu felt that it was not good to ignore Qi Changye, so she raised her head and asked him.

Qi Changye's expression became solemn, "That Mrs. Chen is known by her father, she is a mean and superficial lord, and I am afraid that she may not understand the goodness of this purple crow." ”

Qi Qingyu didn't care in his heart, and said with a brisk smile on his face: "Father, there are always people who know the goods." ”

Qi Changye understands the way of jade, as well as the correspondence between the families of the upper-class eunuchs, as long as there is a person who understands the way to explain the benefits of this purple crow, the gift left by the eldest aunt will not be in vain.

"It's just that it's not easy to set this size." Looking at the round purple crows that were polished to be only a little bigger than soybeans, Qi Changye was still a little worried. The best inlay master of the Qi family passed away from a sudden illness last month.

When Old Lady Qi heard this, her expression also darkened.

The treasure house suddenly fell silent, no one answered, and the atmosphere was suddenly a little heavy.

At this time, Qi Qingyu put a purple crow in front of his right eye, and his clear vision seemed to have seen the formed exquisite hairpin through this little purple jade. She smiled and said, "I'll come," she looked at Qi Changye, and added confidently: "Father asked the masters to make the mold." ”

The smaller the jade, the more difficult it is to set it! The young Qi Qingyu was so confident, Qi Changye, who had been crawling and rolling in the mall for many years, couldn't help but feel surprised, and even a little annoyed, he subconsciously thought that Qi Qingyu was too ashamed and too child's play.

glanced at the old lady, the look of comfort from the old man who had found the heir, Qi Changye couldn't bear to splash her with cold water.

Qi Changye took the pattern and pondered for a moment before saying: "The mold allows the masters to work day and night, and it can be done the day after tomorrow." ”

Next, it's time for Qi Qingyu to express his position, "When the time comes, I will go to the workshop to check that there is no problem, and let the masters make hairpin handles and flower holders, and in terms of inlay, it will take about a day." ”

She said this without ostentatiousness or pride, as if it was a common thing to make a set of hairpins in such a short time.

When Qi Changye heard this, he said to Qi Qingyu with a solemn expression: "Six girls, this is not a joke. ”

Qi Qingyu also said with a straight face: "If you miss the major affairs of the Qi family, please ask your grandmother and father to deal with it." ”

With that serious energy, Qi Changye couldn't bear to blame anything anymore.

"Come on, don't you give the six girls a chance to perform." The old lady was busy holding Qi Qingyu in her arms, and if there was a mistake, she would just lift out the baby at the bottom of the box for emergency relief.

She is optimistic about Qi Qingyu's baby bump.

Qi Changye didn't understand the old lady's thoughts, so he didn't speak again, but seeing that the eldest daughter Qi Liangyu was sullen, he asked softly, "What's wrong with the big girl?" ”

"I ...... Father, grandmother, I want to ......" Qi Liangyu didn't think that Qi Changye would notice her, and couldn't help but stutter a little.

"My sister wants to learn how to draw." Qi Qingyu leaned on the old lady's arms and said with a smile.

Qi Changye was silent, frowning and not knowing what he was thinking.

The daughter is willing to be motivated, of course the eldest lady has to help, and took two steps forward to hold Qi Liangyu's hand and smiled: "Mother, the daughter-in-law also feels that it is time to invite a few female gentlemen to teach the children to read and write." ”

The old lady looked at Qi Changye and inquired about his opinion, and when she saw him nodding, she said, "Originally, I wanted to invite Mr. to come, but there were too many things to worry about." ”

"Thank you, Mother." Mrs. Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Grandmother, thank you, Dad." Qi Liangyu hurriedly blessed him.

"Xiulan, you will inform the second daughter-in-law and them later, so that the children are ready. Whether it's a boy or a girl, our family has something to offer! The old lady stared at Qi Qingyu, who was as delicate as the pearl of the East China Sea, and a sense of pride arose.

"Hey." The eldest lady answered softly, without much to say.

"Mother, put away the purple crow."

After Qi Changye took two of them and put them in the brocade bag, the old lady hugged Qi Qingyu and sat down firmly, covered the brocade box, and put it back into the warehouse.

Before leaving, Qi Qingyu's eyebrows jumped suddenly, bowed slightly, and the old lady holding her hand immediately noticed her abnormality, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with the sixth girl?" ”

The others also paused and looked at Qi Qingyu with concern.

"It hurts." Qi Qingyu patted her little belly.

The old lady hurriedly picked her up, "But it's uncomfortable, I'll let Mama Zhu rub some tea seed oil for you later." ”

Qi Qingyu took the opportunity to muttered in the old lady's ear, like a muttering when she was angry, and no one else could listen to it except the old lady.

The old lady's face turned pale, and she said casually: "Don't dare to mess around, if you don't feel well, you have to apply medicine." ”

Qi Qingyu giggled a few times, the old lady was shrewd.

Late at night, Qi Qingyu and Fuqin quietly hid in the old locust tree in the old lady's yard.

The old locust tree has lush branches and leaves, and it is a good hiding place.

When the night was ugly, everything was quiet, and a black shadow sneaked in from the east wall and came to Jinhuayuan in the dark.

Fu Qin's chest rose and fell violently, covering her mouth and nose, looking nervous and scared.

Qi Qingyu blinked her big bright eyes, and asked solemnly: "Qin, are you afraid of heights, or are you afraid of the person below?" ”

"Master, slaves and maids are afraid." Fu Qin snorted and looked back at Qi Qingyu, her eyes full of timidity.

The faint moonlight shined through the dense leaves, mottled on Qi Qingyu's round little face, and a pair of black and white eyes, like a bright light in the dark, flashed with wisdom.

Fu Qin's heart was suffocated, and her breathing gradually calmed down.

Qi Qingyu's attention had already moved to the man in black who had sneaked in, she was just a whim, who knew that she really ran into a thief from the night.

"Master, you want to catch him?" Fuqin asked cautiously in a low voice.

Qi Qingyu's crystal clear black eyes shimmered with jewel-like brilliance in the hazy moonlight, and her lips curved and smiled slightly, but she didn't intend to disturb this person to commit the crime.
