Volume 1 Chapter 51 Tanuki Lure
I was going to Jiang Yueyuan three days later, and I was going to see two foreign men, this matter could not be hidden from my relatives, and Fang Qi didn't want to hide it, but her statement was not completely in line with the truth.
"Weng Weng asked his granddaughter to fool Yan Saburo last time, Yan Saburo has been angry that his granddaughter has not believed his words, and his granddaughter listened to Yan Saburo's words, as if she had guessed who her granddaughter was entrusted with, and it was originally also, granddaughter is a boudoir woman, if you don't listen to the words of the relatives in the family, who else can you listen to to see the foreign man privately, please trust that big thing! In case Yan Saburo is angry with Xiangfu because of his granddaughter, won't there be a disaster sooner or later? So the granddaughter could only be careful to compensate no, and promised to compensate Yan Saburo.
Three days later, Yan Saburo invited friends to a banquet in Jiangyueyuan, and asked his granddaughter to go to Jiangyueyuan to prepare a banquet. ”
Qin Xun squinted and thought about it for a while.
Let Fang Qi go to the white wolf with empty gloves, although Yan Chi will suspect that it is the elder of the Xiangdi who instigates it, but the first person to suspect should be his eldest son Qin Jing, because don't look at him as the lord and faction, and under the instruction of the official family, he launched the impeachment of Eju, but his eldest son has always been suspicious of Yihe, and his brain is even hotter, and he wrote a slash to defend Eju, and although he detained the eldest son's unknown so-called slash, he didn't hand it to the official family at all, but this kind of thing can't be hidden from the official family, and most of it will be known by Yan Chi.
And this kind of thing, Yan Chi is impossible to confront Qin Jing, even if he confronts him, Qin Jing says that he doesn't know anything about it, and Yan Chi will believe it?
If Yan Chi really wants to anger Qin Jing because of this matter and take revenge, Qin Xun feels that it may not be a good thing.
It's not because Qin Jing is not his own son, nor is he the heir he chooses according to his wishes, he hates it, Qin Jing is his nephew after all, and he has no ill will towards Qin Jing originally. However, Qin Jing's political views of worrying about the country and the people and striving for strength are not in line with the hedonistic ideas of the official family and now they just want to be in a corner of peace, this eldest son is not suitable for today's David officialdom, so for Qin Jing, it is better to advance and retreat, and if he loses his position at this time, he can still keep the Jilu official, which is better than being used to anger the official family and directly dismiss the official.
But Yan Chi did not give up on Sanniang......
Qin Xun looked at his granddaughter's stunning appearance and raised his eyebrows.
Yan Chi has a bright future, if he can become his grandson-in-law...... What's going on with the Qin family, it won't be ruined.
"Go ahead, wife, I'll tell you for you, keep you from being blamed by the eldest woman."
Fang Qi returned to the Autumn Cool Pavilion listlessly, and when she found the system to determine that her main quest still only had a pitiful little progress, she became more and more depressed, could it be that she was thinking too much?
Fortunately, Zhou Xiaoniang sent good news, saying that the plan was being carried out in an orderly manner.
Fang Qi called this plan the tanuki lure.
The raccoon slave is also the raccoon cat, the guards love to raise pets, especially the raccoon cats, the nobles all love, the raccoon cats are gradually divided into two categories by the guards, one is the raccoon cats that still catch mice, which is also loved by most people, and the other is naturally the raccoon cats that do not catch mice, which are loved by the nobles. Since so many people love to raise raccoon cats, shrewd businessmen will naturally not let go of business opportunities, whether it is Kaifeng Mansion in the past or Lin'an Mansion today, there are many pet shops.
These pet shops not only sell cats and dogs, but also sell cat kennels, also sell cat food and dog food, and have small brokers who change cats and dogs, these small brokers can trim cats and dogs for customers, and can contact cats and dogs for breeding, of course, if the customers don't like the cats and dogs in the shop, the small brokers can also ask the needs of the customers, and search around to buy cats and dogs that meet the requirements of the customers.
At the mouth of the official alley of Lin'an Mansion, there is such a pet shop.
There are five shops on the street, there is a small courtyard at the back, although it is a pet shop, the decoration is elegant and tidy, most of the customers are of course not rich or expensive, the shopkeeper has long practiced a pair of rich eyes, boasting that he will not miss a big customer, the implication is that if ordinary guests hang out, he will never bother to greet him, and all the effort can be guaranteed to be used on the target customer.
And it came to pass in the daytime that day, a woman came into the shop.
The shopkeeper looked up and saw that the woman was about thirty-four or five, and although she was dressed in a silk hairpin, with a golden hairpin, with a jewel pendant on her ears, and honey incense on her clothes, she did not look like a noble woman, and there were no servants and maids around her, so she should be a steward servant of a wealthy family.
The shopkeeper made such a judgment, but he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately got up to greet him, and didn't accompany the little broker in the store to drink tea and chat.
"My housewife is looking for a lion cat, do you have one in your store?"
As soon as he heard this, the shopkeeper became more and more attentive.
You must know that a lion cat is worth at least 100 yuan, and generally buy a lion cat in the store, and also buy cat bed, cat food and other utensils by the way, this is a big customer.
The shopkeeper hurriedly took the servant woman to the back yard to pick up the lion cat, and boasted about his shop: "The shop is equipped with a pet doctor, as well as a pet master, so the raccoon slaves in the shop do not need to be kept in cages, they are all raised in the yard, so as not to lose the nature of play, but also to ensure health and disease, if the mother wants to buy a kitten to raise herself, the shop can also hire a pet teacher for the mother." ”
"That's not necessary, my mother raised a lion cat just to enjoy the fight, but she didn't have time to raise it herself, and the family had already hired a trainer."
When the shopkeeper heard this, he was overjoyed.
Weiren likes to fight plays, there are tea fights, fighting flowers, fighting poems, fighting music, and naturally there are fighting cats and dogs, but this kind of lion cats do not catch mice, so it is generally a literary fight, that is, it is rarer than whose raccoon slave coat color, more well-behaved, since this patron is for fighting play, then he will choose a precious breed, the value is less than 300 guan, more than 600 guan.
How did the servant woman look around, shook her head and said: "Your cat, only this general's negative seal is still of good quality, but my housewife has already raised a pair, and the pattern is more peculiar than your one." ”
He's a connoisseur! The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "I don't know if your owner can have the category you want, even if the small store does not have it for a while, you can also let the small broker find it, not the small store boasts, if you can't even find a small shop to satisfy your lord, all the pet dealers in Lin'an Mansion will be helpless." ”
"Then you listen, my housemother wants to find a golden hairpin into a silver bottle, requiring the white hair of the cat's body to be soft and shiny, even the claw gap can not have a miscellaneous hair, the cat's eyes are blue, the golden hairpin hair needs to be pure gold, there can be no rings, the body length can not be too long, just lying on the knee is appropriate, you have to find it, my housemother is willing to pay thousands of dollars to buy."
Thousands of dollars! It's a big deal! Where is the shopkeeper who is not satisfied, but he knows that such a golden hairpin is not easy to find, and he is afraid that he will not be able to find it, so he does not dare to propose to collect the deposit first, and only asks if he finds it, how to inform the lord.
"My housewife doesn't want others to tell her what kind of tanuki slaves she wants/buys, and I will come to your house again in ten days." The servant woman turned around and left.
The shopkeeper hurriedly went to discuss with the little broker.
Said Duan's family, her family is a household in Lin'an Mansion, although she is a maid in the Xiangdi, but what she does is not to serve the messenger of daily life, she belongs to the inspection room, and the top boss is Miao Niangzi, mainly responsible for managing and training the servants and maids of each room and bureau, picketing mistakes, so she generally does not need to be an errand at night, she is back to her home after dinner.
As soon as I arrived home that evening, my niece came.
This niece is the niece who fell and was dismissed by Xiangdi, and now she is married to a craftsman woman, and her life is not easy, and she often comes to her aunt's house to fight the autumn breeze.
As soon as he pulled his face, he heard his niece say:
"Auntie, don't pull your face, I'm not here to borrow rice from my aunt today, on the contrary, I'm still here to send money to my aunt! Aunt listened to me, isn't your niece-in-law's eldest brother playing pet business? Today, a big customer came to the employer's store, saying that he was looking for a tanuki, and he offered a high price of thousands of dollars! The proprietor told my uncle that if the uncle could find a tanuki that satisfied the patron, the proprietor was willing to give 500 yuan to the cat owner. ”
Duan's family also has a cat, but he didn't feel happy when he heard this: "My tanuki, I can catch mice, but it can be worth five hundred yuan?" I think you're really poor and crazy, so I whimsically watched a cash cow grow under the broken wall. ”
"Who asked my aunt to exchange the tanuki at home for money, didn't the second mother of the Xiangdi raise many precious lion cats? I seem to remember that there was one, which happened to be blue-eyed, white-haired and yellow-tailed, exactly like the cat my uncle was looking for, and as long as my aunt could get the tanuki out, she would have 500 yuan in hand! My uncle will also get a cut of the owner's ten dollars, and I have made a lot of effort from it, and the uncle will give me two dollars at most, but my aunt will earn a lot of money! ”
Wealth touches people's hearts.
Although the Duan envoy was decent, she didn't rely on her skills and talents, it was nothing more than flattery that Mrs. Wang regarded her as a confidant, so she won such an easy messenger. But in addition to four new clothes for the four seasons of the year, and three meals a day, the salary is only the same as one month, and you have to work for decades to earn 500 yuan?
But if you steal the raccoon cat raised by Qin Erniang and sell it privately...... If you are discovered, you can be punished by the officials!
Duan hesitated.
When her son heard about this, he also came to persuade: "I usually listen to my mother, Qin Erniang has seven or eight precious civet cats, just to fight with the ladies next to her, I don't like these civet cats very much, maybe I lost one inexplicably, and I don't care about it at all." ”
"What do you know, although Erniang doesn't like raccoons, but her things are never touched by others, there is a half-used handkerchief, the servants of the Huan Wash Bureau were careless when they were drying, I don't know where they were blown by a gust of wind, Er Niang knew that they must be found, and then the labor division moved the crowd and almost did not turn the Huan Wash Bureau upside down, in the end it was found in a dry well, the steward hurriedly washed and dried it and ironed it and sent it to Er Niang, Er Niang saw that it was indeed her handkerchief, and when the steward was in front of him, he made the maids throw the charcoal basin and burn it."
"What A-Niang means by this means that as long as the tanuki has a whereabouts, no matter whether the tanuki is dead or alive, Qin Erniang will not pursue it anymore?"
"The tanuki is going to die, how can it be sold for 500 yuan?"
"Mother, you say coincidental or not, two days ago I sent snacks to Leifeng Tower, the customer is to come to Lin'an Mansion to travel, I heard that our restaurant's Hu cake and lotus duck are done well, so I specially booked to let him be sent to Leifeng Temple outside the lake pavilion at noon, he ate while enjoying the scenery, the customer is a happy person, invited me to eat a glass of wine by the way and then go back to the store, I responded, while eating wine and listening to him tell a story he heard when traveling elsewhere.
Said a certain noble lady, love the civet cat, once got the precious breed, there is a piece of red hair on the back, the noble lady can't put it down, how do you know the servant and maid around her, the mother of the family also loves to raise cats, a go back to the Buddhist temple to burn incense, actually picked up a cat is also a piece of bright red on the back of the coat color, the mother of the servant and the maid of course also can't put it down, how do you know that a small broker fancy it, to buy at a high price, the maid mother is unwilling to change hands, how to know that the servant father is moved by money, in the end or forced to sell the cat to the small broker, the maid's mother is sad and sick, The condition is getting worse and worse.
Although the servant father regretted it, the cat that was sold could not be recovered, but coincidentally, I didn't expect the cat to be bought by the noble lady in the end. In order to save her mother, the servant maid thought of a way, found an ordinary white cat, dyed the hair on the back bright red, and then used the mouse medicine to die, replacing the civet cat of your lady, the civet cat died, and the lady regretted it, but she still ordered the servant and maid to bury the cat, how did you think that the cat had been dropped. ”
When Duan heard this, he was immediately inspired.
