Volume 2 The Wind and Clouds Between the Rivers Chapter 219 A Clever Plan
"It's easy to say, thirty taels is thirty taels, Brother Chi, you buy it." Yan Su'er said without being salty.
"What?" Thirty taels to buy a bottle of wine? Everyone was shocked to lose their big teeth.
Chi Qiu doesn't want to, even if he is a rich man, he doesn't want to be wronged. Even if it is a rich second generation, spending money like running water, he will not know that he will be fooled and go to "jump into the pit", they can be extravagant, they can waste, they can spend extravagantly, and even spend a lot of money for a worthless object, but the original intention is to show off and publicize, and they will never be "fools" for others.
What's more, there are only dozens of taels of various silver tickets scattered in Chi Qiu's pocket, which are left on his own for backup, and he spends them all at once just to buy a bottle of wine? Chi Qiu was not happy.
However, Yan Su'er glanced at him.
What does this mean? Chi is incomprehensible.
"Since you bought such an expensive wine, you also have to leave a note, what if someone invites someone to drink and says that it cost thirty taels, and others don't believe it?"
"Okay, stay and stay!" Cao Shi snorted coldly, very satisfied with this result. Dozens of taels of money were made at once, and the net profit of this broken wine shop for a year was: "Cao Kun, write a note." Just write Rafa thirty taels and one bottles, Changyu three taels and one bottles, three bottles. "This Cao Kun is the only one left in the Cao family, and he followed the Cao family to be the bookkeeper of the wine store, and the housekeeper of the small courtyard has always listened to the Cao family.
The old couple of the Wu family couldn't help but be stunned, looking at each other, and they didn't seem to react yet.
"What, isn't it funny? Sister Su'er, you can't do this, you can't do this...... This kind of ...... "Wu You is anxious, he has entered the school, knows some economic common sense and the law of industry and commerce, and some of the government's methods of judging black shops, if they go against the will of customers, force them to buy and sell, or coax customers at super high prices, they may be punished by the government's tax department.
"Sister Su'er, you are so affectionate!" Cao Shi said coldly, glanced at Wu You, and his face was very unhappy.
In fact, Wu You was just worried that Yan Su'er took the receipt to sue the official, and when the time came, he would be responsible, if something happened and losing money was a trivial matter, with the Cao family, the little county lord would not let her go easily. It's a pity that he was provoked by Cao's cold and sour words, Wu You stumbled, and hurriedly said: "The little county lord is just my junior sister......
"You have a lot of junior sisters, ouch, you two elders can hear it, your son is promising, and he recognizes His Royal Highness the county lord as a junior sister, maybe he wants to divorce me and marry the little county lord."
Old man Wu muttered: "What nonsense are you talking about......" frowned and glanced at Chi Qiu, the real Lang Jun of the small county lord is here, his daughter-in-law is really embarrassed.
Cao Shi saw that Old Man Wu and Old Lady Wu's eyes were aimed at Chi Qiu, and his heart suddenly became angry: "What, I'm talking nonsense? What am I talking nonsense? Do you have this in mind? Do you still want Wu You to marry the little county lord and become a relative of the emperor himself? Speaking of this, she couldn't help but tremble: "It's a pity that people already have a good relationship." ”
This can be regarded as a hornet's nest, and the old neighbor said: "I said Wu You's daughter-in-law."
How did you speak, how did Wu You treat you all these years, we old neighbors have seen it, and it is also obedient. ”
"That's it, that's it, Wu You, this kid has been filial since he was a child, and he doesn't have to say anything to you, how can you see the wind and rain, besides, when Wu You was studying, how old was the small county lord."
Cao Shi smiled and said, "Hmph, you old bones, what's the matter with you." ”
"You ......" Old man Wu couldn't breathe when he heard Cao Shi say this about his old friend, and coughed violently. Seeing that the Cao family was unreasonable, several old neighbors were also busy giving Old Man Wu a good idea, saying that they didn't mind.
At this time, Cao Kun had already written the receipt and handed it to Cao, who looked at it and handed it to Yan Su'er.
"Okay, let's sign it all then."
"Then how can it be, take the money, you and I will be stupid?"
Yan Wen'er raised her eyebrows and motioned to Chi Qiu to take the money, of course Chi Qiu didn't want to, this was thirty-nine taels, and he finally left fifty taels by his side, so he thought that he had a little spare money to spend on himself, but the result was good, and he lost eighty percent of it all at once.
"Yo, people can't bear it."
"Take the money!" Yan Wen'er bumped into Chi Qiu very dissatisfied, and Chi Qiu's expression was ugly, so he had to take out a trivial silver ticket from his arms, as well as a few silver coins.
Wu You still wanted to stop it, but Cao Kun got Cao's eyes and pulled him aside.
After receiving the money and stamping the handprint, Yan Su'er smiled and said to Chi Qiu: "Remember to take the thirty taels of Rafa red wine, it's precious." ”
Chi Qiu looked puzzled, so he had no choice but to accept the wine, carry the wine bottle, and follow Yan Yu'er out: "You wait, did you bring my silver in the wind?" ”
Yan Su'er laughed all the way, light all the way, and seemed to have forgotten all the unhappiness of today.
Chi Qiu carried the wine bottle, and followed, the more he thought about it, the more unpleasant it became: "You asked me to come, don't you just want to slaughter water fish." ”
"What is a water fish?"
"Water fish is a big and fat fish, slaughtered and eaten, with a lot of meat and juicy."
"Really? It's still very vivid, is it a black word on the rivers and lakes? ”
"Probably not." Chi Qiu scratched his head: "This is our hometown dialect." ”
"I see, Brother Chi, where is your hometown?"
In fact, the water fish is the soft-shelled turtle, not the most common people think of very fat fish, to be accurate is the Cantonese water fish: it can be described as cheating money, including pit tourists. When the fishmonger kills the soft-shelled turtle, he holds it down hard to make it unable to move, and a large amount of water will be sprayed during the slaughtering process.
Chi Qiu once traveled to Guangdong and heard the tour guide talk about it, but he instinctively regarded the water fish as a fat fish.
Suddenly, hearing Yan Su'er say this, a stirring spirit in his heart took two steps forward and said: "It's Wancheng, where the north and south meet, there are also some southern dialects, this water fish is not in the north, only in the south." ”
"yes, is Wancheng fun?" Yan Su'er stood a little dazed and asked, "Can you take me to see it?" ”
The little county lord felt that he had said this, but in fact, in the eyes of others,
She only moved her lips slightly, but did not make a sound.
Chi Qiu's six senses have been hazy, and he can't hear it clearly: "What did you say?" ”
"Nothing?" The little county lord was silent.
"Who?" Ji Qiu suddenly snorted.
It turned out that in order to hear the words of the little county lord, this pond feud subconsciously opened his six senses, but heard that there were people behind the trees not far away, this place was empty, if it was a pedestrian who came and went, just walking, this person must have a plan.
Maybe he wanted to show off in front of the woman, or he was assassinated by Chen Jing with a sword, or he saw the bloody case of the Chen family's manor, and he knew that Yanhu was not a peaceful place, and Chi Qiu was much more vigilant now.
There was a big man behind the tree, and he turned around and wanted to leave, but he didn't expect Chi Qiu to succeed lightly, and the sound was as fast as lightning, pointing directly at his throat.
The man quickly dodged to the side, barely dodging, and dodged around the tree.
"Sure enough, it's you!"
Yan Su'er held a long sword and surrounded him: "Fourteen? ”
"You know?"
"See the little county lord."
It turned out that this person was a big man in a cyan suit who had just entered the Wu family's shop with Chi Qiu.
"He's from your Yanhu?" Chi Qiu was surprised, in fact, when he came out of the post house, he felt that someone was following, when this cyan man entered the noodle restaurant with him, he was suspicious, this person had done a good job, following Chi Qiu, he was almost imperceptible, if it wasn't for the fact that Fang Cai happened to be full of six senses, and he seemed to want to eavesdrop on the words of the little county lord, so he moved his position, under normal circumstances, Chi Qiu was still in the dark.
"My dad told you to follow me?" Yan Su'er took a step forward and said, "No, when I entered the noodle restaurant, you were already there." ”
After speaking, he looked at Chi Qiu for a while: "Could it be that he followed him?" ”
The more she thought about it, the more wrong it became, Yan Su'er was excited, as if she had just come back to her senses, she put away her sword, and couldn't believe it: "You won't receive an order at noon, secretly investigate Brother Chi." Obediently, my mother, are you a ghost? ”
"What's wrong?" Where did Chi Qiu know that she was talking about the banquet of the Xu family, and he thought that the fourteenth was a ghost and a god.
Yin Fourteen did indeed receive an order at noon to secretly follow Chi Qiu, but throughout the afternoon, Chi Qiu wandered around Cai Ge Manor, Chen Family Manor and Old Town, he had to check the Jietang, and asked some of his own people everywhere, such as Yan Chun, who knew some details about Chi Qiu.
Chi Qiu led Ai Bao'er back to the post house, he was still wondering who this woman was, Chi Qiu hurried out, he followed, at the gate of the city, it was already night, there were very few people in the city, he was afraid of losing it, the two were separated by each other, and Chi Qiu glanced at him at that time.
Later, they entered the noodle restaurant together, although Chi Qiu was suspicious, but he didn't think too much, after all, there are not many places to eat something at night.
Just after forcing him out from behind the tree, Chi Qiu said, "Sure enough, it's you." It just confirmed his suspicions.
Although the hidden guard is responsible for some of the shadow killer's unsightly things, he is also the golden gourd guard of the city lord, and it is rare for others to see him, but Yan Su'er is an exception. So Yan Su'er recognized Yin Fourteen when she entered the noodle restaurant, but she didn't
I don't know the mission of others, and I won't recognize it, so there is such a scene.
Yin Fourteen knelt on one knee, this time he was actually caught by someone, he would definitely be punished when he went back, and it was even possible to be expelled from the hidden guard, but he couldn't say a word now, even if it was a small county lord on the other side, it was his favorite daughter who served the lord.
However, no matter how hard he is, Yan Su'er has already guessed that her parents have guessed that her refusal to marry is not only disgusted with Er Zhuying, but also because of Chi Qiu.
She couldn't imagine how her parents thought about it, but Yin Fourteen only started following Chi Qiu today, which showed that it all started when she left Yanhu Castle.
"Don't tell my mother about tonight."
Yin Fourteen shook his head with difficulty. What he is doing and what he is going to do cannot be told to anyone.
"You, believe it or not, I killed you."
Yin XIV bowed his head, as if ready to die.
Chi Qiu hurriedly grabbed the banquet's sleeve and said hurriedly: "That's it, why bother him, he is also ordered to act." ”
Chi Qiu is very sympathetic to these dead soldiers, and he is often implicated in some family and private affairs of the lord, and there is a kind of helplessness that is not human.
"You go back, you can reply as you want." Chi Qiu said again: "Go back and talk to your lord, if you have anything to say, it doesn't feel good to be watched." But tomorrow I have an appointment with someone, I really can't put it off, if there is a summons, you can inform me tomorrow night. ”
Yin Fourteen moved his head expressionlessly, saying that he would convey that after all, he had been discovered, and he knew that he was not his opponent at that moment, and if he came again, he would neither conform to the rules nor have the ability.
Generally, whether it is a hidden guard or a killer in the rivers and lakes, they will not be happy to follow people, and they will generally evacuate when they find out the information they want, and no one will follow a person for dozens of days 24 hours a day.
Yin Fourteen turned around to leave, Yan Su'er looked at him stunned, and said unconsciously, "You wait." ”
Yin Fourteen stopped, turned around, and stood.
"You are also present in the matter of the noodle restaurant, you take this back to my mother, just say my opinion, and send someone to seal up the wine shop."
"I don't have to." When Chi Qiu heard this, he felt that he asked in a deep voice: "Although the Cao family is not good, but she just sat on the ground and raised the price, I can also repay the money on the spot, you are now using the power of Yanhu to raid the Wu family's shop, how pitiful the old couple of the Wu family are, that is their life's work." ”
Yan Su'er smiled: "You have only been there twice, how can you still have feelings more than me?" ”
"Didn't you take me there?" Chi Qiu muttered, but he was happy in Yan'er's heart.
"Don't worry, I haven't been happy with this Wu family's affairs for a long time, and I have long wanted to diagnose and treat the surnamed Cao, and I also told my mother, but my mother said that it was a family affair, and it was not easy to mix."
"Your mother is right." Chi Qiu has read a lot of online articles before, and they are all special cows of the male or female protagonists, and they are calculated by some unruly or bullying people, and then
A phone call at every turn makes the more bullish people overstep their authority or directly interfere, and then make those wicked people unwanted.
Reading one or two articles, I feel very cool, I have read too much, and it makes people feel that there is nothing else in this society except for finding relationships, and even some people or things that should not be done, looking for relationships can also be invincible. Although no one can stand in the world without relying on interpersonal relationships, it seems that the male protagonist and the female protagonist rely on the relationship network to deal with problems, which also makes people feel very realistic and helpless, and the more boring they get to the back.
"But not anymore." Yan Su'er raised the slip in his hand: "Yanhu is now forbidden to drink!" ”
"Prohibition of alcohol? But that's wine. Chi Qiuhu was very suspicious.
"Prohibition of alcohol is prohibition of alcohol, although it is generally not checked, and no one cares if you drink a little, but the decree is the decree, whether it is liquor, rice wine or wine, the prohibition of alcohol is the prohibition of alcohol, she is now not only selling alcohol, but also daring to raise prices, that is, it violates the important material management regulations of the tax department and the yamen, and it is a violation of the city rules." Yan Su'er not only went to Lu Song to learn cadavers, but also learned a lot of laws.
Gao is really high, and Chi Qiu faintly feels that Yan Su'er has the way to be an official, and it seems that he is more suitable to be a "superior person" than him.
Hidden Fourteen took the receipt, nodded, said it would do so, and disappeared into the shadows of the night.
"Hmm!" Chi Qiu nodded, this is reasonable and legitimate, but what about "love"? Chi Qiu persuaded: "Then what should the old couple of the Wu family do?" After Yin Fourteen left, Chi Qiu and Yan Su'er chatted while walking.
"Don't worry, I will inform them, when the city government seals up the shop, it can be sold under other names, and then I will sell it back to the Wu family, as long as the Cao family is arrested."
"You had the idea?"
"My mother pointed out, but the matter of this wine was my whim today, what do you think?" Yan Su'er looked a little proud: "I have long seen that the Cao family is dissatisfied with bullying the Wu family, and I originally wanted my mother to come forward to teach her a lesson, but my mother said that family affairs cannot be managed, unless this matter involves the city government, and it is okay to help a group of Wu families." ”
"I think your mother is amazing." Chi Qiu couldn't help but sigh secretly, this city lord's wife is not simple.
"She didn't tell me what to do."
"Okay, you're amazing, you're amazing, you actually raised the price of red wine from her, you thought of this trick, it's really amazing." Chi Qiu laughed lightly, and had to admit that Yan Su'er's thoughts and practices were reasonable, the only thing that made people feel abrupt was Cao's attitude towards the little county lord today, which was too arrogant, and for him, an outsider, it was understandable that he would not be able to pay for his life, and he actually saw that the daughter of the city lord dared to have such a thin face, which made Chi Qiu unable to figure it out.
Maybe Chi Qiu used to be a little soldier and a little otaku, and he didn't know much about these things that were competing for the limelight outside, and there were many sugar daddy women who often did some brainless things in books, maybe that's it. Chi Qiu shook his head, taking the blame on himself. Thinking of this, his face added a bit of coldness and sparseness.
As the night deepened, Chi Qiu was not familiar with the city, and with the pace of the feast, he suddenly walked to a small garden, surrounded by flowers and trees, and a wooden hedge
Surrounded by a curved pool.
"There's such a small park?"
Seeing Chi Qiu's surprise, Yan Yu'er was a little happy, and led Chi Qiu through the stone path surrounded by flowing water.
There was a pavilion under the diagonal bridge, and in that pavilion there was a lantern, covered with a circle of glass, and inside was actually an ever-bright lamp, which brought a glimmer of light to the dark night.
"How can there be lights here?" Chi Qiu stood on the curved railing by the pool, very surprised.
"This is a street lamp, my mother said, in the future, the whole Yanhu Lake will make this kind of glass lantern, as long as the lantern is lit, the entire road surface can be seen clearly."
"Your mother did it?"
"No, it's from the kite capital."
"Oh?"
"It's just a pilot here, but it's a pity that after the battle between the two alliances, the trade with the kite capital was cut off, and there are only a few dozen of this kind of lantern banquet lake, most of them are in the castle, and there is only one one in this park outside."
"Can't you do this Lantern Banquet Lake?"
"Glass, although it is not as good as glass, but to be transparent and colorless, how expensive it is, most people use it." Yan Su'er pouted, his eyes fell on Chi Qiu, he was tiptoeing to look at the glass lamp, and said in his heart: It looks good like this.
"It's not hard to stop this glass, I see glass in many places." Chi Qiu thought that the glass of the Wuyue Continent was already prevalent, so he didn't pay much attention to this matter.
Yan Su'er found a place to sit down: "In the past, this glass was only available in Xihe, called ice glass, which was sold very expensive, and only had it in large households, and it was generally made for women to make a few mirrors, and only those who had more money bought some yellow glass to use as windows." Later, the kites were able to produce glass, and it became popular for a while, because the glass of the kites was much cheaper......"
Chi Qiu is very poor in chemistry, only knows what manganese determines whether the glass is transparent, and the old glass has become yellow again because of the long-term oxidation in the air and the passage of what elements. It seems that limestone also has manganese in it. Chi Qiu felt that he could find someone to study it.
"Have you seen enough?" Yan Su'er was a little annoyed, Chi Qiu had been staring at the glass lamp for a long time.
