The carriage drove slowly on the bluestone street, the wheels of the car squeaked and turned, Qin Daixin sat in the carriage and closed her eyes to recuperate, her heart was rarely able to calm down and listen to the voices around her, her ears were filled with all kinds of noisy sounds on the street, there were hawkers' shouting, bargaining sounds, and it seemed that there were children's crying and shrews scolding the street.

She pulled the corners of her mouth, this so-called market life, she has never experienced it in her two lives combined, she can't help but say that it is a pity, Qin Daixin, who is used to seeing the prosperity of the world, yearns for this kind of life, the so-called plain is true, but unfortunately this truth is not understood by everyone.

Like Qin Congwen, Fang Wanru and others, the reason why they cling to the Qi family is for the sake of power and interests, they want to be able to soar, but they never thought that there are actually many people looking up to his life, he doesn't worry about food and clothing, and his wives and concubines are in groups, but he is still not satisfied, this may be the weakness of human nature.

It can be seen that greed is the source of evil!

Qin Ruoxin sat opposite Qin Daixin, she looked at Qin Daixin from time to time, and saw that the latter had been closing his eyes and ignoring her, and she couldn't help but feel a little resentful in her heart.

Qin Daixin had never treated her like this before, and she had never snubbed her.

But now Qin Daixin not only snubbed her, but even disdained to take care of her.

Qin Ruoxin bit her lip, she didn't dare to provoke Qin Daixin, since the last incident, she understood this truth, she couldn't afford to provoke Qin Daixin now, but she was unwilling.

Wait, one day I will make her cry and beg herself. There will be a day when ......

The carriage moved at an even speed, and after about a cup of tea, it seemed to slow down gradually, the carriage shook slightly, the clatter of the horses' hooves came to an abrupt end, and then the whole carriage came to a standstill.

Qin Daixin slowly opened her eyes, have you arrived?

Ruyi opened the carriage. Said respectfully: "Miss, Fourth Miss, let's go to the Chamber of Commerce." ”

Qin Daixin nodded, got out of the car with a cat, Qin Ruoxin followed closely behind, and let her maid Yingxue help her out of the car.

Qin Daixin came to the Chamber of Commerce for the first time, and she couldn't help but look at it twice.

The quaint mansion in front of you must have been around for hundreds of years, but the years have not made this courtyard decay, but it seems to be rich. It is simple and heavy, and it is particularly atmospheric. It faces south in the north, and the high wall of blue bricks is one zhang high. The cornices stand upright, and the momentum is not to mention, but the pattern is also different.

But all the mansions must be facing north and south, and the gate is opened in the center. Or the Guangliang Gate, or the Ruyi Gate, will definitely occupy the central axis.

The house of this chamber of commerce is different.

Its gate was hidden in a small door, which opened to the east, and there were more than a dozen steps at the bottom. When you go up the stairs, you will enter a box in the shape of a "mouth", and there are wall buttresses in front of you and on your left. On the right-hand side is the main entrance of the house, which is square in size and has two vermilion gates that stand out unusually.

Qin Daixin and Dafang Wanru entered the magnified door behind her, thinking that it was really strange.

The group entered the gate and bypassed the shadow wall. The eyes suddenly opened up, and a straight road led to the main house. There are strange rocks on both sides of the road. The trees are shady, there is a lake in the distance, the stone bridge is meandering, there is a water pavilion not far away, and the verandah is connected with the main house......

Qin Daixin admired the imagination of the ancients, such wonderful landscapes, stone lakes, pavilions and pavilions, not only exquisite layout, but also birds and flowers everywhere, really chic.

And the Chamber of Commerce, a place that smells of copper, is so pleasing to the eye that it doesn't need to be arranged? It's afraid that others won't know it's rich.

"Madame, please."

The little guy who led the way had a square face and sword eyebrows, but he looked like a decent person, he took the invitation post from Jiafu's mother and led Fang Wanru with a smile.

Fang Wanru nodded slightly, and also smiled at the little guy, no wonder she was polite to a subordinate, but anyone who works in the Chamber of Commerce should not be underestimated, he looks like a little guy who leads the way, maybe he will become one of the best people in Taizhou City in a few years, don't bully the young man to be poor, Fang Wanru still understands.

She took her three daughters, two mothers and a number of maids into the main room, which is a majestic, eaves and arches of the building-style building, up and down a total of three floors, the hall on the first floor is arranged magnificently, extremely luxurious, just the few white jade stone pillars in the hall, no less than a million gold.

Qin Dai smacked her tongue as she walked, how much does this cost? What kind of auction is held, just tearing down a pillar is enough for the people of the frontier to eat for ten years......

A few people walked up to the second floor, only to see the carved window lattice, the oiled painted floor, the octagonal flying fairy lamp hanging on the top, and the carved seal characters on the railing are also good.

The little servant led everyone to a small room on the second floor, and he stood at the door in a proper manner, and said respectfully: "Madame and young ladies sit here for a while, and an auction will be held in the hall on the first floor in a while, so you can watch here." Each room will have a person who is responsible for communication and shouting, and if Mrs. Yaxing holds up a sign, she will command the villain. ”

Fang Wanru nodded, and then glanced at Mother Li.

Mother Li walked over with a smile, "Little brother take it to eat tea...... and handed over a heavy purse.

The little guy didn't push it, he just put it in his arms and went down with a smile.

The furnishings in the house are simple, there are no beds and chairs, and it is more like a makeshift pack-up.

Qin Daixin looked at the surrounding pattern, and then suddenly realized. No wonder the little guy let them watch here, it turned out that the view was so good, there was a platform outside the room, followed by a wooden railing, one by one is as thick as the mouth of the bowl, it is very strong, as long as the door is opened, everyone can watch the first floor without effort, I think this second floor is prepared for the ladies of the house, for fear of colliding with the men on the first floor, so I cleaned it up.

No wonder there are traces of haste!

I just don't know if the eldest princess is also on the second floor? If she is on the first floor, how can I approach her? If she was on the second floor, in which room?

Qin Daixin pretended to look around casually, but she didn't find anything, so in order not to attract attention, she had to sit back.

Fang Wanru and Qin Qianxin each sat on a chair with a yellow pear carved auspicious cloud pattern, and a small table was placed in the middle, with some snacks on it. Snacks like dried fruits, tea, and preserved fruits. Neither of the mother and daughter spoke, but they made eye contact from time to time, Qin Daixin just didn't see it, and fiddled with the cups on the table.

Regardless of ancient or modern, the greetings and waiting before the start of the banquet are the most boring, Qin Dai waited patiently, and as the time passed, the number of people in the hall on the first floor gradually increased.

All of them are men.

It is said that men and women are not seated at the same age at the age of seven.

Qin Daixin glanced at it casually. But he was secretly surprised.

Li Mu is in.

In the crowd, his face was like white jade, his clothes were fluttering, and his expression and fingers looked personable. It has the taste of a fairy brother. No wonder the ladies in the opposite room pointed at the downstairs, with such a beautiful man here, how could those women in the back house stop! Always discuss and guess where this person came from. Is it a marriage match? How much money does the family have?

Qin Daixin smiled secretly, it's just a little white face with a slightly higher grade, and everyone is rushing to it?

With another sweep of her eyes, Qin Dai's eyes lit up!

It's Tie Weiyang!

The jade crown is tied with hair, the color is reduced, and the silk belt is tied.

Compared to Li Mulai. Tie Weiyang is also very good.

Needless to say, the identity is naturally talented, and the appearance is discussed. Tie Weiyang is also excellent. It's just that the man in green next to him, why does he look so familiar?

Qin Dai carefully looked at the man in green, his figure was slightly thin, his skin was white, and he was really the little white face of the little white face. But have they seen it? Why do you think this person is very kind?

Qin Daixin looked at the man in green again, he seemed to be in a bad mood. Ignore Tie Weiyang around him.

It's her!

The woman in red who was going to compete with her for the lantern on the Shangyuan Festival.

Tie Weiyang called her "cold clothes". And she is called Tie Weiyang "Third Brother".

This woman dressed as a man is not the daughter of Tie Yihou?

Qin Dai sighed in her heart, thinking that things were really getting more and more interesting......

At this moment, a middle-aged man in an official uniform walked out of the crowd, and he was accompanied by a well-dressed fat man, who looked quite familiar, uh, wasn't that person Qi Fugui?

In the hall on the first floor, there are more than a dozen tables, one table and four chairs, neatly divided into their respective areas. In front of these tables and chairs was an open space on which a platform about half a foot high was laid, on which was placed a desk-like tall table covered with red satin cloth.

The middle-aged man in the official uniform walked directly behind the table and waved his hand to signal that the venue was quiet.

Everyone was very face-saving, and the hall was silent, and everyone looked at the middle-aged man.

Qin Dai smiled heartily, it looked quite like that.

"It is a blessing for the people of the frontier to be able to participate in today's auction. Wang is here to thank you for those frontier people. Presumably everyone also knows that this auction was initiated by the eldest princess, and for the life of the people in the frontier, we should make a contribution from the court officials to the common people in Taizhou City. So today, I, Wang, set an example here and donate 1,000 taels of silver. ”

The man in the official uniform took out a silver ticket from his cuff and handed it to Qi Guigui and said, "Today's singer is Master Qi!" Master Qi, please! ”

After speaking, he left the stage and found an inconspicuous seat on the side to sit.

Everyone was dumbfounded, what is going on!

Surname Wang?

Qin Daixin suddenly remembered that the surname of Taizhou Zhizhou was Wang, could it be that this person was Wang Yingshi, the Zhizhou of Taizhou?

It's possible.

A thousand taels of silver is nothing in the eyes of those rich and wealthy merchants, and it is not worth mentioning in the eyes of those high-ranking officials. But Wang Yingshi is a clean official, he has always acted according to the charter, does not show favoritism, does not bend the law, and is a rare good official. The monthly salary of such an official is only 100 taels of silver, and I heard that there is also a maintenance of incorruptible silver, which is only 300 taels. Wang Yingshi's monthly income is only 400 taels of silver, and he has to support Gao Tang, support his wife and daughter, plus the monthly silver of his subordinates, and add up to food, clothing, and clothing, presumably there is not much left.

A thousand taels of silver, you have to save for a few days!

Qin Dai couldn't help but admire Wang Yingshi, who didn't talk much, there are officials like this, whether ancient or modern, it is a blessing for the people!
