Qing Shuming knew what was going on, but he couldn't say it. Therefore, there is another prepared statement, "How much silver will Miss Ben give them, I want you to ask more!" Quickly inform the kitchen to prepare a hot meal for them. They had to brave the bitter cold to inquire and buy the items listed on the 'purchase list', and they had to travel a long way back. At this point, they may not be tired! ”

Xiao Juan has always been straight, and immediately imagined the scene depicted by Qing Shu, and decided that Du Zhongxia and Luo San were cold and hungry, and that Du Zhongxia and Luo San were about to be tired and paralyzed. So, she said with a serious face, "Miss, the slave maid will go and inform the kitchen to prepare a hot meal, and I have to boil the bath water for them." ”

Qing Shuwaner, "Okay, you go quickly." ”

Xiaojuan walked out, and when she was about to go out, she remembered something again, and turned around and asked, "Miss, do you want to give Du Guards and Luo Guards a good pot of wine?" ”

Qing Shu criticized, "Well, don't blanch one pot, blanch two pots." Eat and drink enough, let them sleep well, and relieve fatigue. "The two of them are great heroes, running around in this cold season to do things for her. Now that the people are back, they have to let their hard work rest for a few days.

In the front yard, the ancient butler did not let people unload the goods in the front yard as before, but led the way in front and brought the four carriages directly to the front of the warehouse.

Of the four carriages loaded with goods, there were only two coachmen, Du Zhongxia and Luo San. They tied the horses in the second car to the rear edge of the first car; the horse in the third car, bolted to the rear edge of the second car; The horse in the fourth car is tied to the rear edge of the third car. In this way, the four carriages were strung together, Du Zhongxia sat in the first carriage to catch the car, and Luo San sat in the fourth carriage to take care of the goods.

In this way, the two of them drove the four carriages all the way from Jinyang City back to Kangxi Town. Along the way, they had been on their way with passing caravans, so that they did not attract the attention of others because there were only two men guarding the four carriages.

When unloading, the Gu housekeeper didn't call too many people, only called Gu Yuanhe, Gu Yuanbao and Ding Jiabao. Du Zhongxia and Luo San stood on either side of the first carriage, untied the rope holding the tarpaulin in place, and worked together to uncover the tarpaulin from one end to the other, and rolled it up and put it away.

At this time, Gu Yuanhe, Gu Yuanbao and Ding Jiabao stepped forward and carried the bags on the car to the warehouse one by one.

The first three trucks were full of bagged goods. Some of these bags are heavier and some are lighter. If it is lighter, Gu Yuanhe and Ding Jiabao will be handed over to Gu Yuanbao's back; And the heavy one, Gu Yuanhe and Ding Jiabao carried the two of them, and they didn't let Gu Yuanbao, who was growing his body, touch it. The fourth cart was loaded with a basket, a barrel, a broom, a hoe, a shovel, a pickaxe, and a sickle...... There are all kinds of things, and a big cart full of them.

Seeing that there were farm tools in the car, the ancient butler opened the door of another warehouse next to him, "Baskets, wooden barrels, these farm tools, put them here." ”

Gu Yuanhe picked up a basket filled with forage and unexpectedly found that it was heavy. But he didn't say anything, and walked to the storeroom where the farm tools were kept.

Luo San patted him on the shoulder and shook his head almost indefatigably.

Gu Yuanhe was slightly stunned and looked down. The coarse cloth covered the basket he held in his arms lifted a corner, and what he saw was indeed the fodder for the animals. However, according to this weight, there must be something inside. He understood, turned around, and moved the basket into the storeroom where the valuables were kept.

At this time, Du Zhongxia took down a basket from the car and carried it into the warehouse where valuables were kept. Of the baskets loaded in the fourth car, only these two have something to say.

After the four truckloads were moved, Gu Yuanhe and several of them were sweating.

The ancient steward instructed them, "Put on your hat, go back quickly, don't come out until you sweat, and be careful of catching a cold." ”

Gu Yuanhe and the others agreed awkwardly, put on their hats and were about to leave, when they met Qing Shu walking alone.

Qing Shu said that he had worked hard and motioned for them to hurry back to the house. When they walked away, Qing Shu looked at Du Zhongxia and Luo San with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

Du Zhongxia and Luo San said that it was not hard, and then invited Qing Shu into the warehouse.

After making sure that there was no one else outside, Luo San walked to the two baskets that he had specially moved in, reached out and uncovered the coarse cloth on his head, and then quickly pulled the thick hay that was tightly spread in the basket outward, and let the hay fall to the ground. Sure that it was okay, he withdrew his hand, took a few steps back, and made a gesture of invitation to Qing Shu.

Qing Shu took a closer look, and under the grass were silk handkerchiefs of various colors wrapped up. She reached in, tugged at the few remaining crumbs of hay, took out a pink silk handkerchief, and opened it. Silk Pari, lying a pair of beautiful-looking gold bracelets. She raised an eyebrow, "All of them?" She asked if there was any jewelry under the basket.

Luo San replied, "Five pairs of gold bracelets, nine gold hairpins, and three hundred taels of gold ingots." Then he pointed to another basket beside him, "Eight pairs of silver bracelets, twelve gold hairpins, and three hundred taels of silver ingots." ”

Du Zhongxia explained from the side, "These are not marked, and there is no problem with taking them out to wear them yourself or giving them away." Other gold and silver jewelry has not been able to be taken out lately, so we have found a safe place to hide it. When the rumor is over, we will take it back and give it to Miss. ”

Qing Shu believed them, and she knew the truth in her heart. She wouldn't suspect that the two of them would take it privately. "For the rest, if you were to change hands, how much silver would you get back?"

Luo San thought about it for a moment, made a conservative estimate, and stretched out two points.

Qing Shu Chailuo's three fingers must not be 20,000. Because any jewelry, whether ancient or modern, is very expensive when it is sold by the store, and when it comes to selling it by individuals, it will definitely drop in price. Besides, they didn't get these jewelry from the right way, and they thought about a lot of things when they sold them, so they definitely couldn't sell them for a lot of money. Two thousand is two thousand, and two thousand is not a small number. Thinking of this, she curled the corners of her mouth, "I only need one of them." The rest is yours. "She can't just let her subordinates do things and not give them benefits.

Luo San was surprised, "Miss, this is not appropriate. ”

"What's wrong? It's up to you to do as much as you can, and I'll only need one of them anyway. But there is one thing, be careful, don't show your feet. Qing Shu said, bent down, and picked out the silk handkerchiefs wrapped in jewelry in the back basket one by one.

Butler Gu came over with an empty basket and held it for Qing Shu.

When Qing Shu saw it, he picked out the silk handkerchief wrapped in jewelry and put it all into the basket. When the jewelry is finished, the gold ingot below is faintly exposed.

The ancient housekeeper said in a low voice, "Miss don't worry, the old slave counted the number and sent it to Miss immediately." ”

Qing Shu didn't refute, meaning that he agreed.

The ancient housekeeper said, "When the old slave and the Du guards and Luo guards have counted the goods, they will present the list to the young lady." ”

Qing Shu nodded and looked at Du Zhongxia and Luo San, "The kitchen is preparing a hot meal, go back and freshen up, rest early after eating, and leave the rest to the housekeeper." After saying what she had to say, she took the basket from the ancient butler's hand and turned to leave.

Butler Gu and Luo San spoke at the same time.

Butler Gu: "Miss, slow down. ”

Luo San, "Slow down." ”

Qingshu stopped and turned back in confusion.

At this time, Du Zhongxia shook the piece of coarse cloth he was holding in his hand to make sure that the grass clippings on it had fallen, and he covered the coarse cloth on the basket that Qing Shu was carrying.

Qing Shu realized that he was indeed careless, and thanked him sincerely, "Thank you." ”

Luo San walked over and felt something on the piled up bags, "Miss, please wait a moment." After a while, he dragged one of the bags down and leaned against the others to the ground. Then, he quickly untied the tightly bound bag, reached in, and immediately took out a large handful of red dates.

Qing Shu thought to herself, how much work did the two of them do in terms of details in order to bring things back safely? The general's father really has a vision, and he actually left such two powerful people to their sister and brother. She saw Luo San coming over with red dates, and quickly lifted the coarse cloth that had just been covered.

Luo San successively took two handfuls of red dates and put them in Qing Shuti's basket, saying that it was okay.

Qing Shu thanked him, grabbed two red dates in his hand, covered them with a coarse cloth, and went back. On the way back, she was not too cold, and ate red dates, as if others didn't know what she was taking.

In order to cover the gold and silver, all kinds of high-grade brocade, silk, silk and expensive embroidery threads, brocade and silk brocade threads, etc., in order to confuse the public, Du Zhongxia and Luo San not only separated the things and transferred them to several places, but also deliberately went to Jinyang City to pick up the goods, and brought back some miscellaneous things, and also made a show in front of people and bought some things.

The four truckloads they brought back contained scattered and inconspicuous goods for cover. The first cart of goods was added with some general material; The second cart of goods was filled with bags of rags; The third car of goods added a bag of melon seeds or a bag of red dates; The fourth cart of goods was filled with honey, red dates, melon seeds, salt and farm tools. Whoever sees it thinks that Gufu is a normal purchase, and will not think about it elsewhere.

Later in the evening, Steward Gu, together with Du and Luo's second guards, counted the four truckloads of goods and handed the list to Qing Shu. While handing over the list, they also sent four baskets of things to the Qingshu Courtyard. Qing Shu made an excuse and spent Xiaoyu and Xiaojuan away.

Steward Gu and Luo San hurriedly took away the coarse cloth covering two of the baskets, took out the burden wrapped in three hundred taels of gold ingots and the burden wrapped in three hundred taels of silver ingots, and put them on the table for Qing Shu.

Putting down the things, Steward Gu and Luo San took a basket, Du Zhongxia carried a basket in each hand, and the three of them walked out. Xiaoyu and Xiaojuan, who were branched out, just came back.

The ancient housekeeper stopped them, said that the basket was full of the lady's favorite snacks, and asked them to hurry up and get the plates, and put some out for the young lady before putting them in the warehouse. He handed out another key and asked one of them to go over and open the door to the small storeroom in the courtyard.

Xiaoyu and Xiaojuan have no doubt that they have him. Xiaoyu went to the kitchen to get the container for snacks, and Xiaojuan took the key from the ancient housekeeper and went over to open the small storeroom.

Xiaoyu took a wooden round plate specially used by Qingshu to hold snacks, and it had three grids in it, which could assemble three things, and Qingshu called it a fruit bowl. Xiaoyu took red dates, melon seeds and peanuts from the basket and filled the three grids in the wooden circle, and then took the plate and stood aside, she wanted to go back with Xiaojuan to deliver the key.

After the ancient housekeeper left, Xiao Yu took a snack, Xiao Juan took the key, and entered the house to see Qing Shu.

At this time, Qing Shu had already put away the gold and silver ingots, and was sitting outside looking at the list of items sent by the ancient housekeeper. There are six pages of lists, and the calligraphy on them is very small. The first ones are all valuable goods, and only the ones listed on the last page are the miscellaneous things purchased from Jinyang City to hide people's eyes. For example, snacks, farm tools, red paper. In this era, red paper is not cheap, it is very expensive in Kangxi Town, and it can be sold relatively cheaply in Jinyang City. Therefore, Du Zhongxia and Luo San bought a lot of red paper for her to come back. Because she mentioned it, she would use a lot of red paper during the New Year.

Qingshu put the list away, "Xiaojuan, go and invite the young master, just say that I have something to tell him." ”

Xiaojuan promised to leave, and then came back for a long time. She gasped and entered the door, "Miss, phew...... Young master, young master, he will be here soon. ”

Qing Shu was drinking tea and glanced at her, "What's wrong?" ”

Xiao Juan gasped and wiped the fine sweat on her forehead, "The young master is not in the academy, nor is he in the bamboo garden, the slave maid went to several places to find the young master." Miss, Young Master and Young Master Chen are fighting again. ”

Qing Shu was not surprised at all, "What is it for this time?" "Don't think about it, the first person to stir up trouble must be the restless Chen Qiaojiang.

Without waiting for Xiaojuan to answer, Qing Shu heard the sound of footsteps appearing in the courtyard. Then there was a bang, and the door to the outer room was pushed open with a loud noise.

Chen Qiaojiang rushed to Qing Shu without a head and a headless, and plunged into Qing Shu's arms, "Qingyang bullied me, you beat him, you beat him." ”

Qing Shu was hit by him a little painfully, "Stinky boy, what are you doing?" Get out of here, what are you doing with this head? Why is it so hard? ”

Chen Qiaojiang immediately took his head away, jumped away, and pointed at Qingshu's nose and shouted, "You are biased, you are biased, if you don't hit Qingyang, you know that if you hit me, I am very angry." ”

Qing Shu's forehead slid down three black lines. Only then did she see that Chen Qiaojiang's clothes were covered with dust.

At this time, Qingyang, Luo Xiaorong and Hao lined up and entered the house.

Similarly, Qingyang's clothes were covered with dust, as if he had rolled on the ground.

Qing Shu deliberately kept a straight face, pointing at Chen Qiaojiang and Qingyang, "You, you, stand up for me." Then he pointed at Luo Xiaorong and Hao, "You two, go and sit over there." ”

Chen Qiaojiang pouted, but he still stood up and didn't dare to move.

Qingyang put his little hands behind his back and stood straight.

Qing Shu asked lightly, "Say it!" Why fight? Afraid that they would grab the right to speak and quarrel again, she immediately pointed at Chen Qiaojiang, "You, speak first." ”

Chen Qiaojiang gave Qingyang a smug look, "It's his hand that made the first move, don't complain about Young Master Ben, you have to punish him." ”

Qing Shu felt that this was nonsense, and looked at Qing Yang, "You say." ”

Qingyang, who was still peaceful just now, immediately glared at Chen Qiaojiang angrily and said, "Sister, he's bad, he said that my sister is a fierce woman, and no one wants it." I said that Brother Yan wants a sister. He said that Brother Yan was deceiving people, and he also said that Brother Yan was a bad guy. ”

Green soothes the forehead. She knew that Qingyang couldn't help but do it, it must be for her. In Qingyang's heart, her sister is a sacrosanct existence. Of course, there is another sacrosanct person in Qingyang's heart, and that is Zhou Boyan. This is good, Chen Qiaojiang not only said bad things about her, but also said bad things about Zhou Boyan, no wonder Qingyang would fight with him. Boys!

She pointed to the southeast corner of the room with a straight face, "Chen Qiaojiang, go over, punish you for facing the wall for half an hour." ”

Chen Qiaojiang was just about to open his mouth to protest, but Qing Shu ordered again, pointing to the southwest corner of the room, "Qingyang, go over, punish you for facing the wall for half an hour." ”

Qingyang's eyes were red aggrievedly, but he obediently went over to face the wall.

Chen Qiaojiang opened his mouth, and when he saw that the situation was not right, he hurriedly went over to face the wall. However, he is active, and he can't stand facing the wall the most, he will kick the wall with his left foot, and wipe the floor with the sole of his right foot.

Qing Shu looked left and right and saw the feather duster, she walked over and took it, and knocked Chen Qiaojiang on the back of the head, "Be honest." ”

Chen Qiaojiang shrank his neck and muttered, "Fierce woman, no one wants it." ”

Qing Shu was speechless. However, she didn't want to be familiar with him, so she walked to the other end, threw away the feather duster, and hugged Qingyang's little shoulders from behind, "Xiaoyang is good, let's not fight with him in the future." ”

Qingyang sniffed, "But, but he's bad." ”

Qing Shu shook his head, "Sister sues you, a boy like Qiao Jiang, what he can't stand the most is that no one pays attention to him and no one plays with him." So, the next time he does this, you sue him and you are very angry, you hide far away, ignore him, talk to him, don't play with him. When the time comes, he will definitely not be able to stand it and will take the initiative to apologize to you. ”

Chen Qiaojiang shouted on the side, saying that Qing Shu was talking nonsense.

Qingyang doesn't think so. He felt that as long as it was said by his sister, it must make sense. However, he wanted to make sure, "Really? ”

Qing Shu smiled, "Really." Then he took off a piece of grass clippings that were stuck in his hair, "My sister has an errand to earn copper plates and hand it over to Xiaoyang, and Xiaoyang has to work hard." When the time comes, he has earned a lot of copper plates, and Xiaoyang must remember to invite his sister to eat delicious food. ”

Qingyang turned his head to look at Qing Shu, and the moisture in his eyes had not disappeared. It made his eyes look brighter, "What errand?" Xiaoyang will do a good job. ”

Qing Shu whispered something in his ear.

"Can you really earn copper plates?"

"Yes, Xiaoyang will earn a lot of copper plates. When the time comes, my sister will be blessed and will be able to eat delicious food. ”

Qingyang didn't face the wall excitedly, turned around, and hugged Qingshu's waist, "Buy delicious food for my sister." ”

Chen Qiaojiang, who was listening with his ears, didn't hear the key point, and ran over and pulled Qingyang's sleeve, "Don't whisper, speak loudly." ”

It's still a big face! Qing Shu beckoned to Luo Xiaorong and Hao, who were looking curiously, "If you two are obedient, my sister will also let you earn copper plates." "Hopefully, no one will accuse her of child labor.
