Xiuniang called Qi Ning "master", but it made Qi Ning's heart skip a beat, at this time, she saw this little beauty kneeling obediently at her feet, but she had a strange feeling on her body, and she didn't let Xiuniang get up, she leaned in and asked softly: "From now on, do you really obey me?" ”

Xiuniang looked up at Qi Ning with a resolute expression: "The life of the slave is a reward from the master, and she will use this life to serve the master." ”

Qi Ning laughed and said softly: "If you are really loyal to the master, the master will definitely not treat you badly, but if you are playing tricks with the master, it is not only you who will be unlucky in the end, but even Ling Huxu will be unlucky with you." ”

Xiuniang didn't speak.

Qi Ning thought that Xiuniang had just said that she would cut off all the previous personnel and mention Ling Huxu, she naturally would not react, and said softly: "In that case, you can go to the Buddha Hall to take care of that lady." Remember, without my orders, except for the third lady and Bingqiao, who delivered the meal, anyone else approached, you must stop it immediately. ”

Xiuniang said: "The slave obeys the master's order. He got up and turned around to leave, but Qi Ning said, "Wait a minute!" ”

Xiuniang turned around and stood respectfully in front of Qi Ning, Qi Ning looked at him twice, and asked, "You just said that you can do what a woman should do for me, but I haven't understood it yet, what does that mean?" ”

Xiuniang lowered her head, her cheeks were slightly red, and she hesitated for a moment before asking, "Master...... Need it now? ”

"I just want to know what a woman should do." Qi Ning was calm.

Xiuniang bit her lip, and finally went over to close the window, then walked to Qi Ning's side, hesitated, or reached over to untie Qi Ning's shirt, Qi Ning raised her hand to stop it, and said with a smile: "Is this what you said a woman should do?" ”

Xiuniang's cheeks flushed, and she said in a low voice: "Master, slave maid..... The slave is still innocent, and there is no ......! ”

"Then protect your innocence first." Qi Ning smiled and said, "If one day you really do great things for me, I can reward you." Leaned into Xiuniang's ear and said softly: "Let you be a real woman." ”

Xiuniang's face showed a look of shame, and Qi Ning said, "You can step back first and take good care of Mrs. Tai." ”

Xiuniang saluted respectfully, turned around and retreated, looking at the back of Xiuniang leaving, Qi Ning sighed.

This is a delicacy close to the mouth, you can eat it with just one mouth, but the timing is not right at the moment, and Qi Ning still has to observe whether Xiuniang is truly loyal to herself, after all, Xiuniang's oath of allegiance is really a little abrupt, and Qi Ning really can't tell whether it is sincere or false.

Qi Ning went to Qi Feng's side again, Qi Feng was pinched and broke his wrist bone last night, and the pain was severe, last night was really unbearable, Li Tang, who had been taking care of him on the side, really couldn't bear to look at it, and had the courage to ask the maid to ask Tang Nuo for some painkillers, originally just to alleviate Qi Feng's pain, but after Tang Nuo asked about the situation, he gave Qi Feng medicine to treat bone injuries overnight.

Qi Feng had received Tang Nuo's healing medicine, and after a few hours, the pain had already been relieved, and according to Tang Nuo's instructions, as long as he recuperated for about ten days, the wrist bone could return to normal.

Qi Feng is most worried that the sequelae will be left after the wrist bone is broken, which will have a great impact on his skills in the future, he is now the commander of the guards of the Hou Mansion, if his skills are not as good as before, it will inevitably make the guards under his hands unconvinced, and he is naturally overjoyed to learn that the wrist bone can be restored to normal after using Tang Nuo's healing medicine, and his heart is full of gratitude to Tang Nuo.

Qi Ning killed the bull head last night, and it was really fortunate that Qi Feng led people to use crossbow arrows to help, and his subordinates were meritorious, Qi Ning was naturally generous, not only comforting him, but also privately rewarding the three people who helped last night with three hundred taels of silver.

Last night's incident, Qi Ning confessed that he was not allowed to disclose it to the public, so there were very few people in the house who knew that Qi Feng was injured, and even if they knew, they only thought that Qi Feng had sprained himself when he was practicing martial arts.

Li Tang didn't patrol the night last night, and he didn't see what happened in the Buddha Hall, but he knew something strange, but since Qi Feng didn't say it, he didn't ask more, the Hou Gate is as deep as the sea, and there are many things in this kind of family, the less you know, the better.

Qi Ning originally arranged for Qi Feng to investigate the matter on Zhuo Xian'er's side, but Zhuo Xian'er suddenly disappeared, which made Qi Ning worried, but Qi Feng was like this, of course, he couldn't go to find Zhuo Xian'er, but knowing that Zhuo Xian'er's whereabouts were unknown, Qi Ning naturally couldn't ignore it, but fortunately, Li Tang was also a thoughtful person, so he asked Li Tang to be responsible for finding Zhuo Xian'er's whereabouts, and as soon as there was news, he would report it immediately.

After dark, Qi Ning kept his agreement with Mrs. Tian and went straight to Tian's house.

He is already familiar with the Tian family, and the people of the Tian family also know that now the Tian family medicine store is angry, and the business is getting bigger and smoother, in the final analysis, because of climbing the big tree of Jinyihou and the support of the Jinyi family, it is difficult for the Tian family medicine store not to get rich.

Mrs. invited the little marquis to come over for dinner occasionally, and everyone didn't think much about it, just thinking that the lady wanted to strengthen the relationship with the Jinyi family, so she would show favor to the little marquis.

Climbing to the powerful, that is a means for many businessmen to gain a foothold, no one thinks that there is anything wrong with Mrs. doing this, after all, there are nearly 100 people inside and outside the Tian family medicine store now, and these people are also eating at the medicine store.

When Qi Ning arrived at Tian's house, his own old housekeeper led Qi Ning to the back garden, Qi Ning was even more strange in his heart, secretly thinking that this beautiful woman had really figured out something.

In front of the arch of the back garden, the old housekeeper said respectfully: "Master Hou, Mrs. has already prepared wine and food in the piano room, and Mrs. said that Master Hou likes to be quiet, so the old slave will not send it in." ”

Qi Ning bowed slightly, came into the back garden, very familiar through the rockery flowers, and saw the piano room by the pool from a distance, the lights in the bedroom were on, Qi Ning walked over with a familiar car, and when he arrived at the door, he saw that the door of the piano room was hidden, hesitated, and knocked lightly.

Soon, the door of the house "creaked" open, and Tian Xuerong, who was dressed in purple, opened the door, saw Qi Ning, and said with a smile: "Master Hou, please come in!" Opened the door and stepped aside, Qi Ning smiled slightly, and entered the piano room with his hands behind his back, Mrs. Tian hesitated, but closed the door gently.

Qi Ning caught a glimpse of a small square table in the room, on which were placed melons, fruits, wine and dishes, I don't know how it tasted, but the style was indeed exquisite, this beautiful woman obviously put a lot of thought into it, Tian Xuerong closed the door, and had already twisted her waist to come up from behind, and said with a smile: "Master Hou, it's hot, I made a few small cold dishes, and I don't know if it suits Lord Hou's appetite." ”

Qi Ning smiled: "I thought that Madame invited me over because of the big fish and big meat hospitality." ”

The beautiful woman glanced at Qi Ning, her eyes were cross-current, and her charm was moving, and she said: "Hou Ye is rich and noble, every day is brocade clothes and jade food, and I am afraid that I am already tired of eating big fish and meat, so I am thinking about changing the taste of Hou Ye." If Master Hou doesn't like it, I'll make you big fish and meat now. ”

Qi Ning saw that the beautiful woman seemed to be smiling instead of smiling, and her eyes were wavering, and she only felt that it was indeed soft and moving.

"Whatever the guest wants." Qi Ning shrugged: "It's all ready, don't bother anymore." He sat down cross-legged on the futon at the square table, raised his hand, and said, "Madame, sit down too." ”

Mrs. Tian smiled delicately and sat down opposite Qi Ning, Qi Ning asked, "How is Ling Yan's eye disease now?" Is it much better? ”

Mrs. Tian showed gratitude and said: "Miss Tang's wonderful hand is rejuvenation, she is a living bodhisattva, Fu'er is much better now, she can see things clearly, Miss Tang said that in another three or two months, Fu'er's eye disease can be cured." After a pause, he said, "Actually..... In fact, I have always been very grateful to Hou Ye, if it weren't for Hou Ye's help, I am afraid of ......! ”

Qi Ning waved his hand and smiled: "Don't say thank you, what is the relationship between me and my wife, and if you say thank you, you will see the outside." ”

Mrs. Tian's face flushed, thinking to herself What do I have to do with you, at least I haven't been close enough to say thank you, but how dare I say this, stretched out her snow-white jade arm, picked up the wine jug, leaned forward, poured wine for Qi Ning's wine glass, Qi Ning picked up the wine glass, and said, "Madam is busy until now, I'll do it first as respect!" Just as she was about to drink it, Mrs. Tian's face changed slightly, and she said hurriedly: "Master Hou......!" ”

Qi Ning was stunned, saw that Mrs. Tian's face was very unnatural, and she was suspicious, put down her wine glass, and asked, "What's wrong with Madame?" Is it uncomfortable? ”

"I'm ......!" Mrs. Tian smiled reluctantly, glanced at Qi Ning's wine glass, and finally said, "Master Hou, I'm ..... I'm probably going to go to the East China Sea next month. ”

"Tokai?"

"Master Hou still remembers that among the prescriptions given by Miss Tang before, there is a prescription for treating intestinal travel." Mrs. Tian said: "There are many people in the south who suffer from intestinal swimming, especially in the East China Sea, so .....!" ”

"Oh, I remember, Madame seems to have said that she is going to build a medicine workshop in the East China Sea and produce medicines directly on the East China Sea." Qi Ning smiled: "This is a good thing, is there any difficulty?" ”

"I sent someone over there, but there is its own chamber of commerce on the East China Sea side, and the people who sent it back said that the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce had to talk to them in person." Mrs. Tian sighed lightly: "Otherwise, the workshop will not be able to start." I also understand what they mean, they just want to talk to me about dividends, and after I'm done with the things at hand, I'll go over next month to see what it means over there, if it's too much, it's ......! ”

"Madame wants me to come forward?" Qi Ning frowned slightly, although he was willing to help Mrs. Tian within his ability without violating his principles, but the matter involved the Chamber of Commerce, and it seemed inappropriate for him to be involved as an official of the imperial court.

"No, no, no!" Mrs. Tian hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Master Hou must not come forward in this matter." A merchant has the rules of a merchant, if it is..... If Master Hou comes forward, even if they really don't dare to embarrass me, it's ..... But in the future, they will do things in secret, and ...... And all the chambers of commerce will say that the Tian family medicine store is ......! But he didn't say any more.

Qi Ning bowed slightly, understood what Mrs. Tian meant, and thought to himself that you, a woman, are also sensible.

He knows that every industry has its own rules of the game, and the same is true for businessmen, if Tian Xuerong breaks the rules of the game with the help of power, it will not be easy to mix in the business world in the future.

"As long as the conditions are reasonable, you can talk to them." Qi Ning smiled and said, "If it's too much of a deception, you can go back and tell me again, and I'll find a way for you." He picked up his glass and said, "Come, madam, I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha, this cup of wine wishes you a smooth journey next month and good news." ”

Tian Xuerong hurriedly said: "Master Hou, you ......!" ”

"What's wrong with ma'am?" Qi Ning had already realized something at this time, and remained silent, holding a wine glass and saying, "Madame, is there something unspeakable?" ”

Tian Xuerong bit her lip and said softly, "Master Hou...... Can Master Hou come over..... Come and hug me! ”
