Chapter 184: Shenwu Dart Bureau
Luo Kite's love is a little lost, in fact, no matter how well she understands righteousness, she is still a woman and a businessman after all. The first criterion that businessmen follow when doing things must be interests, if they give thousands or even tens of thousands of taels of silver to the coastal army to settle Chen Heming's affairs, the stability and tranquility of the Baoanyang Branch, Luo Yuan feels that such a buyer and seller will not lose.
But now that things are getting bigger, as long as Lu Shigao's picture scroll can be brought back to Splendid Villa, the prestige of Splendid Villa will definitely go to a higher level, not to mention abandoning Chen Heming, even if you give up the Anyang Branch, what can you do? The more he thought about it, the more Luo Yuan felt that he had lost a lot this time, but then he thought about it, Qin Baichuan should also have his own plans, right?
Steward Li also saw Luo Yuan's entanglement, and smiled silently, Luo Yuan sighed in his heart, and said with a smile: "The old housekeeper doesn't need to be careful, it's just that Qin Baichuan didn't discuss this matter with me, and I was a little shocked." Since ancient times, famous horses have been matched with martyrs, swords have been given to heroes, and a picture scroll can be seen by Desheng Gong, but it is not a loss. ”
"The little doll said so in her mouth, but she didn't think so in her heart." Steward Li smiled heartily and said, "Since Duke Desheng intends to resolve the contradiction with Qin Xiaoyou, the old man will not hide it from you." Since the incident of Qianjin Gambling House, the coastal army has investigated Qin Xiaoyou's origin, not to mention anything else, let's just say that the methods that Qin Xiaoyou used to make money in Jiangling are unheard of for the old man to live for most of his life. ”
Luo Yuan nodded, and Steward Li said again: "Qin Xiaoyou is eccentric, how can he not take advantage of the gift and go back?" The reason why Duke Desheng didn't open his mouth to give more convenience to Splendid Villa was that he wanted to meet Qin Xiaoyou, if Qin Xiaoyou really had the ability, haha......"
Steward Li didn't say any more, but his intention was already self-evident.
"Old housekeeper, Qin Baichuan is sometimes very smart, sometimes stupid, moody, and disrespectful of morality and ethics. No matter what the other party says, it is also an underground force, and Luo Yuan thinks that it is better to intercede for Qin Baichuan in Anyang.
"Luo Nuwa, I think you are concerned and messy." Steward Li was in high spirits today, and said with a smile: "You said that Qin Xiaoyou is sometimes stupid and moody, but you see, with so many things happening in Jiangling, when did Qin Xiaoyou not be safe and sound?" Of course, there is some luck in this, but Qin Xiaoyou is strategizing, and luck is a kind of strength. ”
Hearing Steward Li say that he cared about it, Luo Yuan's heart jumped violently, and he was about to refute it, but the old housekeeper waved his hand and said: "From the old man's point of view, Qin Xiaoyou doesn't need the old man's help at all during the trip to the Li Mansion, but if Luo Nuwa insists on asking, the old man will promise you, no matter what happens, keep it safe and sound for Qin Xiaoyou." ”
Luo Yuan thanked him, bowed down, and the old housekeeper said with his hands behind his back: "You don't have to thank the old man, I only keep him safe, whether you can get what you want from Desheng Gong depends on whether Qin Xiaoyou has the ability." ”
Steward Li was originally amiable, but now because of a painting, he has changed his attitude towards Qin Baichuan, so he took Luo Kite to walk along the coast and chat, and this morning passed in a blink of an eye. At noon, he declined Steward Li's invitation to go to Li's Mansion for dinner, and Luo Yuan couldn't wait to rush back to the Anyang branch.
She now has too many questions that she wants to ask Qin Baichuan clearly, but after returning to the branch hall, she was told by her family that just half an hour ago, Yan Juzheng and Yan Gongzi came to visit in person, and the two of them had already gone out by car, and they didn't know where to go. Luo Kite stomped her feet with hatred, but she was helpless after all.
Luo Yuan was sulking in the Anyang branch, and Qin Baichuan, who was called out by Yan Juzheng to play around, was not very comfortable at this time, because he and Yan Juzheng were not the only ones in the carriage, but also a "son". Smelling the smell of fragrant powder all over the carriage, his eyes swept over the chest of the "son", and Qin Baichuan poked his teeth and flowers vigorously.
Yan Juzheng, Yan Juzheng, you come to play with Lao Tzu, just forget it, you still have to take Yan Ruyu for Mao? It's okay to take Yan Ruyu with you, but you chick dresses up as a man for a hairy girl? It's okay for a woman to dress up as a man, and you still have to apply so much rouge gouache for Mao?
"I only heard that the flower business of Splendid Villa is doing well, but I didn't expect that your big owner would really be willing to spend money and configure such a good carriage for a minister." Qin Baichuan's carriage was spacious and comfortable enough, and the patterns of the carriage were all carefully carved, Yan Ruyu was a little envious.
"Miss Yan, you're thinking too much, this car was given by a friend." Qin Baichuan shook his head in denial, and suddenly felt that Yan Juzheng, who was sitting next to him, pinched him and glanced at him. Qin Baichuan immediately understood, and said with a smile: "Miss Yan, Brother Yan and I plan to find a place to have some food, since ancient times, men and women have different seats, why don't you go back to Yan's Mansion first?" ”
"I didn't eat either, just together. It's true that men and women don't sit at the same table, but I'm dressed as a man today, and no one can see it. Yan Ruyu didn't think about it, shook her head and refused.
"Hah, this ...... Not quite right? Qin Baichuan grinned, and was embarrassed to say that a woman dressed as a man, Brother Rouge and Gouache forgive you, but you can wrap the two balls on your chest well, this guy, with the bump of the carriage, this tremble, the nosebleed is about to spurt out.
"What's so bad? Do you want to throw me away and take my cousin to that shameless place? Yan Ruyu's little face was angry, and she snorted: "Yesterday, while I was bathing, you secretly took my cousin, and I haven't settled this account with you yet!" Hmph, my cousin came back drunk and contented...... I don't have any proof, but I know where you've gone and what you've done! ”
"Ah, cousin, how can you slander me like this?" Yan Dagongzi looked aggrieved: "Yesterday I drank and fought poetry with Brother Qin, and Brother Yu finally found a confidant after so many years, so I drank a few more glasses, but it was not what you thought!" If you don't believe it, if you don't believe it, you can ask Brother Qin! ”
"Yes, I can testify. Last night, Mr. Yan was indeed drinking and getting wet, I swear. Qin Baichuan raised three fingers, at this time, everyone believed in oaths and retribution, but Qin Baichuan did not have this psychological barrier, and besides, he was afraid that this 'wet' was not his 'poem', and Qin Baichuan did not lie.
"You?" Yan Ruyu glanced at Qin Baichuan: "My cousin was originally a very good person, but I was all damaged by you!" Cousin, you don't have to quibble, Daddy thinks that you are the only seedling of the Yan family, sometimes I am used to you, let you, but what others don't know, I don't know you yet? ”
"Miss Yan, do you dare to tell some real evidence?" Qin Baichuan was almost crying, if someone else said that he had brought someone who had broken Qin Baichuan admitted, he would be strict...... The second Olympics, it's obviously the other way around, okay!
Qin Baichuan wanted to say more, but Yan Juzheng repeatedly glanced at him, signaling Qin Baichuan that good men don't fight with women, forget it, forget it. This kind of thing can't tell who is right and wrong even if it is pulled to the sky, Qin Baichuan simply sold Yan Ruyu a face, and decisively shut up.
"Brother Qin, it's not the right time for you to come, if it's summer, the fish and shrimp will definitely make you feast, now...... Only the sea soup is not bad. Let's go, Brother Fool will take you to Haifang to try the taste. "couldn't get rid of Yan Ruyu, and Yan Juzheng had no choice but to change the topic.
"Don't eat seafood, eat that." Qin Baichuan saw a steamed bun shop on the side of the road from the window and told the monkey to stop the carriage.
"Brother Qin, don't you look down on your brother?" Yan Juzheng said dissatisfiedly: "Brother Qin came from afar, and when I arrive in Anyang, I should do my landlord's friendship. ”
"Qin has a cheap life, and he eats seafood and has diarrhea. If Brother Yan is not used to it, go back with Miss Yan, and I will look for you later. The monkey parked the carriage, Qin Baichuan jumped out, and put a small piece of broken silver on the table: "Boss, here are ten steamed buns!" ”
"Oh, good, good, guest officer, please wait!" Anyang is not as prosperous as Jiangling, and this steamed bun shop is also entertained by fishermen and laborers who are begging for a living at sea. The shopkeeper was a rickety old man, and when he heard this, he quickly brought out ten steaming steamed buns, a few plates of pickles, and a pot of piping hot soju on the plate.
"Guest officer, the small shop only has these things, you can use them slowly. If you want to eat something else, tell the little old man, and the little old man will buy it for you. "The boss is very good at business, put down the meal, and put away the silver.
"That's good." Qin Baichuan smiled, grabbed the steamed bun and took a bite. The flour of this era is purely hand-ground, without any additives, and there is a faint fragrance between the lips and teeth when chewed, Qin Baichuan couldn't help but nod.
"Brother Qin...... It's true...... Eat here? "Yan Juzheng still regards himself as a scholar in his bones, but he is not as free and easy as Qin Baichuan, and he can eat the same food as the peddler's pawn.
"Cousin, I think you're used to being pampered, and you can't eat if people can eat it?" Yan Ruyu didn't care so much, sitting opposite Qin Baichuan and learning from him, he also grabbed a steamed bun, but after just a few bites, he felt dry and couldn't swallow it. It's no wonder that Yan Juzheng and Yan Ruyu are both born with silver, and the flour used to eat steamed buns is finely polished, how can they eat this kind of coarse grain?
"Hey, forget it, Brother Qin insisted on asking for it, and I had to sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman." Boss Yan Juzheng is reluctant, Brother Qin is really a weird person, he doesn't eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas, he wants to eat such things, is there a hole in his brain?
Yan Ruyu frowned, Yan Juzheng had a bitter face, but Qin Baichuan was the only one who ate happily. Yan Juzheng didn't have so many eyes and couldn't think of anything, but Yan Ruyu could see that the person surnamed Qin clearly wanted to make her, Miss Yan, suffer a little, in order to avenge her sarcasm just now.
"An unmeasured man, how can Miss Ben make you look flat?" As soon as Yan Ruyu thought of this, a steamed bun was already a little supported, but she grabbed another one and looked at Qin Baichuan provocatively.
"Eat what you can, don't waste if you can't eat." This time Yan Ruyu really misunderstood Qin Baichuan, in fact, the purpose of his choice to eat here was not to embarrass anyone, but to be separated from this steamed bun shop by a street is a big mansion, the courtyard of the mansion is covered with withered yellow grass, and there are even a few spider webs on the courtyard, and four words can be faintly seen in the layers of dust, Shenwu Dart Bureau.
