Cherry is a young and beautiful little lady, only thirteen years old this year, it is a good age to be carefree, and she always laughs before saying a word in the past, which is very happy. Although she is a little maid, Li Qingzhao's maid is obviously different from other maids, and she has a little reputation in Qingzhou City.

But today's fame makes her feel like a drag, a burden, and even a shame. Because she just went to the quality store, that is, the pawnshop of the Great Song Dynasty.

Now it's the end of June, and the weather is starting to get hot and dry, so Li Qingzhao asked Cherry to take a winter coat that he married. It was a sable leather coat, which was Li Qingzhao's favorite when she was a girl, and after accompanying her for so many years, she had to be sent to the pawnshop today.

Cherry felt ashamed and disgraced to her owner. Why did the Zhao family in Qingzhou start to enter the pawnshop? But she knows that it doesn't work if it's not right, and Yi'an Jushi has been a little less at ease recently.

The man has not returned home for many years, and the family's economy depends on the rent in the field, but Zhao Mingcheng sends someone to take a lot of this income every year. Cherry doesn't know much about this, but she feels that life is very hard, and the hostess is always worried about money.

In the past, I could barely get by, but not recently. Recently, the price of grain in Qingzhou has skyrocketed, and even daily necessities are much more expensive. Even an ordinary mahogany comb has doubled or tripled. As a result, the livelihood of the house was suddenly cramped, so that Cherry had to take the hostess's winter clothes to the pawnshop, and exchange some money to get by.

But I didn't expect everything else to increase in price, only the pawnshop was reducing the price. In the past, this fine sable could be used as at least 300 yuan, but today's cherry has only exchanged for 200 yuan, and it is all paper money.

Cherry don't look small, but also understand that paper money is not worth much now, she wants copper coins. But there are no copper coins, the shopkeeper is very domineering, whether she loves it or not, people don't ask her to be it.

Alas, Cherry could only walk out of the pawnshop with two hundred pieces of paper. But I didn't expect to meet an acquaintance as soon as I went out.

Why is Young Master Qin, he is coming to Qingzhou again!

Cherry felt that Young Master Qin was a god, and that day in the Great Cloud Temple, Cherry accompanied Li Qingzhao to witness everything. Not only Young Master Qin, but even the lady beside him is so magical, the treasures on his body are one by one, not to mention that the cherry has never been seen, even the hostess Li Qingzhao has not seen it.

Especially that mobile phone, it's amazing, and it can still be painted in it. Cherry also wanted to paint herself in it. If in the past, when she met Young Master Qin and his party on the street, she would definitely be happy to go up and say hello, but not today, she just wanted to avoid Young Master Qin.

Just out of the pawnshop, one foot is still in the threshold, which is too embarrassing. If Young Master Qin saw it, he would definitely know the embarrassment in his family.

Cherry hurriedly lowered her head and hurriedly wanted to leave, but she didn't want to be stopped by Zhe Meifeng. She has sharp eyes, and no one wants to run.

"Cherry, why are you going to the quality bank?" Zhe Meifeng is such a temper, what she thinks of and what she says. It would have been impossible for Meiluan to say this. Why do you need to ask when you go to a pawnshop? This is a direct chill to the people.

"Ah, Lady Zhe, it's you, and Young Master Qin, Mrs. Qin, you are coming to Qingzhou." The cherry was discovered, and he couldn't run away, so he could only pile up smiling faces and greet people affectionately.

Jia Hongxian dragged Zhe Meifeng behind him. In the past, I didn't dare to care about her like this, but now it's different, this girl is about to marry into the Qin family, and the woman who marries Qin Mu is all under her control. She couldn't look at her cousin's woman who couldn't speak so badly and offended people when she opened her mouth.

"Cherry, we came to Qingzhou to do some business, and we were going to visit your master's house, but I didn't think about it before I went, and I met you. It's just right, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, why don't you take us home. Jia Hongxian was very polite to Cherry.

Qin Mu came to Qingzhou to look for oil, and he knew that there must be oil here, because this place was the location of the Shengli oil field in later generations. The remnants of Liangshan actually ran in this direction, which could be regarded as a great favor to Qin Mu. If they went all the way to the Jin Kingdom, it would really be useless to Qin Mu, so they could only let them go in vain.

Because it was in the name of suppressing bandits, Zhe Kecun followed hundreds of Zhe family troops all the way. Seeing that Qin Mu met an acquaintance, and it was in a place like a pawnshop, Zhen Kecun knew that he was not suitable for mixing, so he led the troops to the post station first.

Qin Mu also wanted to meet Li Qingzhao. If nothing else, I have to meet her for the sake of oil. Li Qingzhao has lived in Qingzhou for more than ten years, how can she be familiar with the land, and she is also her only acquaintance here, and she is still a beauty - of course, this reason cannot be mentioned to Jia Hongxian, she should meet and chat first.

He had a plan to visit Li Qingzhao, but he didn't expect that as soon as he entered Qingzhou City, he met Li Qingzhao's little maid Cherry, or in a place like a pawnshop, which was really embarrassing. What's even more embarrassing is Zhe Meifeng, such a big girl doesn't have a brain at all, and her sister is simply the difference between heaven and earth, I really don't know how the two look like each other.

Fortunately, Jia Hongxian was there, so he lightly covered up the past. However, Qin Mu was also a little curious, why did Li Qingzhao live so hard as a thing? The literati of this time and space are different from later generations, their status is very high, and if they have status, they will not worry about running out of money, so it is said that they should not enter the pawnshop.

Zhao Mingcheng's mansion is still very large, but the population is relatively small, and since entering the door, Qin Mu has not seen a few maids and servants, which seems a bit depressed.

Li Qingzhao didn't expect Qin Mu to come. Hearing the news, my heart was happy and ashamed, and my face turned red. Not for anything else, just because Cherry told her that she met Young Master Qin in a pawnshop. I can't hide my embarrassment from others now.

However, Qin Mu has arrived at the house, so naturally there is no reason to hide and not see.

"Gonggong, farewell that day, I didn't expect to meet again so soon." Li Qingzhao carefully painted a makeup look, with a natural expression, and was generous in front of the guests.

"Eldest sister, Donglai is not as far as Penglai, can't you see it if you want to see it?" Qin Mu felt that today's meeting was a little embarrassing, and wanted to adjust the atmosphere, so he remembered the "Butterfly Love Flower" that Li Qingzhao gave him.

Li Qingzhao's heart trembled suddenly, he didn't expect Qin Mu to remember the words he sent him so clearly. If not, you can't just open your mouth. This made her feel a different kind of warmth, and the embarrassment of being embarrassed by Qin Mu seemed to be much less.

She ordered repeatedly: "Cherry, quickly give Young Master Qin and a few ladies new tea to Jiangnan." ”

"Don't be so troublesome," Jia Hongxian hurriedly stopped the cherry: "Sister Li, although it is said that you should be a guest and a host, but what about it, the slave's cousin has a special taste, he is not used to drinking your tea soup, and at home, he drinks the tea we make." ”

As she spoke, Jia Hongxian opened the Hermes women's bag she was carrying-what Zhi Meifeng wanted, of course, she couldn't miss it, took out four or five small packets of tea, handed it to the cherry and said: "This tea is very simple to brew, you tear open the package, put it in a cup, and rinse it with boiling water." ”

Cherry was suddenly shocked by Jia Hongxian again. Young Master Qin's family is really extravagant, and even the tea leaves are different from other families. I haven't seen this packaging before. It's so beautiful, it's actually used to tear it. If this lady doesn't say it, she won't dare to break it.

Li Qingzhao was a little unhappy. In my family, if you don't follow my rules, how can you be so domineering. This is also too shabby, and it is obvious that they look down on me and say that I am poor.

But this can't be blamed on Jia Hongxian, who made Qin Mu open his mouth and use other women's poems. This is Jia Honghong's reverse scale, whoever touches it is unlucky. Li Qingzhao caught up, she actually didn't do anything, she had always behaved, Qin Mu had nothing to do, but in the end, she was humiliated.

Other guests don't drink your tea, what Jiangnan and Jiangbei, new tea and old tea, Jia Niangzi can't look down on it, and people drink what they bring.

But don't say it, this tea is really extraordinary. Li Qingzhao is a lyricist, and she is also a famous lyricist, her words can be passed down through the ages, which shows the extraordinaryness of Yi'an Jushi. People say that the text is like the person, and it is true. Li Qingzhao's words are elegant and profound, and there is charm in the ordinary, which is a portrayal of her personality. If it weren't for such an elegant and charming woman, she couldn't write "green, fat, red and thin".

Her personality is not compatible with the current tea soup. Tea soup is like tomato and egg soup mixed with enough starch, and it is about to solidify, which is called tea! Only the tea brought by Qin Mu from later generations has the fragrance of tea and eternity.

Li Qingzhao was immediately attracted by this taste, she felt that if she could drink such tea every day, she would be able to write good words every day and give them to Young Master Qin.

Young Master Qin's family is really rich, not to mention this tea, I haven't seen the bags on the shoulders of a few ladies. Of course, in addition to Qin Mu's harem, who can have Hermes in the Great Song Dynasty. This thing is also a luxury that can no longer be extravagant in later generations.

Women's satchels are not the patent of later generations, and women in the Great Song Dynasty want to carry bags, but the workmanship style is far from being comparable to that of later generations.

Li Qingzhao was extremely confident in her own taste and craftsmanship, and the bags she designed and sewed herself were also the objects sought after by Qingzhou women, but compared to Hermes, it really can't be said that it is a few streets behind, it is really a thousand years worse.

This made the big word man feel a little unable to raise his head in front of Jia Hongxian.

How smart Jia Hongxian was, she immediately felt this. Zhi Meifeng hurriedly nodded at the eldest sister, eldest sister, it's still your cow! killed people invisibly, and defeated the female idol of the Great Song Dynasty at once.

"Merit," Li Qingzhao ignored Jia Hongxian, and only said to Qin Mu: "I was fortunate to meet you in Dayun Temple that day, and the slave family was saved from the scourge of Liangshan bandits and saved their innocence. ”

Hearing this, Jia Hongxian and Zhe Meifeng immediately frowned. Why, you have to repay the man in my family well, how to repay it? What can you repay as a woman? Also "fun". With money? You're all in the pawnshop, what money do you have? Besides, my family is short of money? The last thing we need is money.

I believe that this woman also understands this, so what else can she use to repay? Do you use the body? This can't be done, you have a man, although the man is not at home, but he is also a married woman, you can't be so shameless!

And you're in front of us, when we're all air? At this time, Jia Hongxian and Zhe Meifeng understood a little bit of natural knowledge and knew the existence of air.

But Li Qingzhao just said that he wanted to repay him, and the back was all made up by the two of them, so they couldn't get angry for no reason, so they could only hold back.

Li Qingzhao said this deliberately, which made her feel that she had pulled back a game on the field. When it comes to the kung fu of writing and language, the two are far apart, just like the Hermes women's bag compared to the bag of the Song Dynasty, there is at least a thousand years of difference.

Qin Mu even understood the subtleties of Confucius, how could he not feel the subtlety of the scene in front of him. His casual words were just to ease the atmosphere, but he didn't expect the atmosphere to become more and more awkward.

"Yi'an Jushi," Qin Mu hurriedly changed his title: "What is not repaid, seeing each other is fate." ”

After saying this, Qin Mu almost wanted to slap his mouth. How is this linked to fate again? But if you say it, you can't get back the water you spilled. He hurriedly continued: "I really can't talk about anything in return. I came to Qingzhou this time for business, and I was looking for help from a layman. ”

"Isn't this where a slave can repay his deeds? As long as you can help the meritorious deeds, the slave family has no two words, what the meritorious deeds want, as long as the slave has it, just take it. ”

Qin Mu was speechless for a moment. What can you give me? I just want to ask you about the situation on the ground in Qingzhou.

Li Qingzhao saw that Qin Mu had nothing to say, and the two ladies rolled their eyes angrily, and their hearts were finally a little more comfortable. How come this is also my home, and it can also make you two "earth girls" turn the sky upside down. Even if you have that good bag, you can't do it.

She has a little different feelings for Qin Mu. Counting up, Li Qingzhao has been living alone for many years. She is not yet forty years old this year, and it can be said that she has been widowed in her early thirties, and her life is extremely miserable. Qin Mu's accidental appearance was like lighting a lamp in her dark world—of course, she should say a candle, but the lamp was a little brighter.

If Yunmen Mountain is goodbye, we will never see each other again in this life, and it will be enough, but how long has it been, Qin Mu has come to the door. This aroused the fire in Li Qingzhao's heart, and she inexplicably wanted to fight against Jia Hongxian and others.

Of course, this is also Jia Hongxian who offended her first, how can anyone bring their own tea as a guest at someone else's house, isn't this a clear disdain for people. Li Qingzhao is not a woman who is allowed to be rubbed by others.

"However, if there is any serious matter, put it aside first, let the slave family cook a few side dishes by himself, and he will not get drunk today." Li Qingzhao got up as he spoke: "Meritorious work, you and a few sisters will wait a while, and the slave family will do it." ”

After speaking, Li Qing walked away and left a few guests in the hall.

Without waiting for Qin Mu to speak, Jia Hongxian spoke first: "Cousin, do you have a crush on the sister of the Li family?" ”

"Brother-in-law, you can't be sorry for your sister." Zhe Meifeng immediately helped.

"What nonsense are you talking about," Qin Mu hurriedly stopped the nonsense of the two: "We came to Qingzhou for oil, this is a big deal, it's a serious matter." Qingzhou City, we are not familiar with each other, just such an acquaintance, who are you looking for if you don't look for her? How can this be a fancy to others? And what are you messing with, in other people's houses, abide by other people's rules, how can there be a red line like you, dig out the tea yourself. ”

"But cousin, you never drink tea soup like that." Jia Hongxian Zhen said: "Besides, our sisters don't like that taste, it's hard to go out, if you still suffer from drinking tea, it's better not to drink it." ”

"The eldest sister is right." Zhe Meifeng immediately agreed.

When she came out this time, Qin Mu didn't want to take Zhi Meifeng, but she had to follow her alive or dead, and Qin Mu had no choice but to entangle.

The Guards Regiment is now divided into two teams, one led by Shi Yi, who went to the area of Weishan Lake to investigate the local situation in advance and prepare for the construction of a steel base in the future.

In addition to a platoon of the Guards Regiment, there is also an army of more than 100 people. There are two purposes for bringing the Folding Family Army. The first is to allow the Guards Regiment to hide under the banner of the Orijia Army, so as not to be exposed prematurely; Second, it is also necessary to use this long journey to investigate the team members and recruit new soldiers.

Shi Yi was the military officer, and Qin Mu also arranged for Fang Haoyin to be the person in charge of this operation. In the general strategic direction, although Jia Hongxian has followed Qin Mu for the longest time, he is not as deep as Fang Haoyin's comprehension. Leave this matter to Fang Haoyin, and Qin Mu can rest assured.

Fang Haoyin understood what Qin Mu wanted to achieve, and he also knew his mission. Civil affairs are different from military operations, and they are not black or white. A lot of the time it's decided on the spot. In this piece, not to mention that Shi Yi can't do it, even Jia Hongxian can't do it.

Only Fang Haoyin has been following Qin Mu's train of thought all the way, always learning to experience his man's thoughts, and only now is he close to understanding what he wants to see, what to look for, and what to do. Jia Hongxian didn't have the heart of her at all.

Jia Hongxian just wants to follow his own man, and at the same time strengthen his position in the big house, which is enough. The rest of the things have Qin Mu to do, and Jiang Yuenu to do it, as long as he keeps an eye on his cousin.

There were also Zhe Jiajun along the way, and in order to communicate and manage, Qin Mu originally arranged for Zhe Meifeng to follow along the way. Zhe Meiluan is in charge of civil affairs work, and she can't do without the base area, so this task can only be entrusted to her. However, Zhe Meifeng did not agree, so she had to act with Qin Mu, and in the end, she had no choice but to send Liang Zhi over. This is not an acquaintance.

With Zhe Meifeng, trouble is indispensable. Qin Mu also saw the cherry at that time, but he couldn't speak. When people come out of the pawnshop, do they need to ask what they are going to do? At this time, to say hello, it is a deliberate slap in the face.

But Zhe Meifeng doesn't have this concept. She is the princess of the Fuzhou family, and she has never been short of money, so she has no real experience of such a thing as pawning, and she doesn't know how difficult and painful it is. She was like buying rouge gouache, without the mentality of a poor person, and she stopped the cherry when she opened her mouth.

So Qin Mu had to sit in Li Qingzhao's living room awkwardly and wait.

"Qin Mu, the food she cooks is not delicious, you do it." Before Qin Mu could figure out how to resolve the embarrassment, Yu Liyan suddenly spoke. The princess of Liao is pretending to be stupid and not really stupid, she is too good at seizing opportunities, and she is fast and accurate in mending knives.

For Yu Liyan, it is the common responsibility of the women of the Qin family to crack down on all women who have crooked thoughts about their men. Let's just say that you can't even cook!

This made Qin Mu collapse suddenly.

"This is someone's house, you are one by one, do you have to occupy other people's houses to be satisfied!"
