What else can it do, isn't it Jiang Shuqian's dead girl, and the eldest brother's matter, but this can't be said to the second brother, otherwise, it will definitely cause trouble, so Xiao Qiqi casually found an excuse and said: "This is not the mother who said to find a daughter-in-law for the eldest brother and the second brother, you all ran away, leaving me alone to deal with my mother, I, the younger sister, died a tragic death." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"I'm sorry, sister, it's really the second brother I don't want to get married, you said that if you marry a daughter-in-law and enter the door, you can't say anything about it, and women are still very troublesome, and the second brother doesn't even want to get involved." Xiao Zhiqi has also seen a lot of women in the capital, those women are used to acting, all kinds of calculations, all kinds of viciousness, but he is upset when he sees women, so he doesn't want to get married.

Yes, the eldest brother is deeply rooted, and the second brother hates women, so if it goes on like this, it will be difficult for the mother to hold her grandson.

Xiao Qiqi pursed the corners of his mouth and glanced at Xiao Zhiqi. "Second brother, you have to remember, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest, is the second brother really not going to get married and have children in this life? Does the second brother want his mother to worry about you for the rest of your life? ”

"You can rest assured about this, the second brother and I are not such mixed people, I will marry a daughter-in-law no matter what, but not now, I have to let the second brother and I find someone who is pleasing to the eye and a kind heart." His requirements are not high, and when the time comes, he will find a daughter-in-law who looks passable, kind-hearted, and can be filial to her father.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhiqi's shadow suddenly appeared in his mind, and suddenly, he immediately shook his head.

Xiao Qiqi naturally discovered Xiao Zhiqi's strange behavior, and suddenly she stared at Xiao Zhiqi with a sly look, wanting to see something from his face, but she didn't want to, Xiao Zhiqi was uncomfortable and jumped directly.

"Sister, my nephew said just now that he was practicing martial arts on the side of the hill, and it just so happened that the second brother also went over to loosen his muscles, that's it, sister." Xiao Zhiqi's desertion and escape made Xiao Qiqi affirm his own thoughts.

It seems that there is really something special here, interesting, and it is the first time she has seen the second brother's expression like this, so she has to inquire carefully.

When Xiao Qiqi was planning to do this, he didn't want to bump into someone head-on.

"Changqing?" Xiao Qiqi rubbed her sore forehead, thinking that she had bumped into Mei Changqing with a shake, this is good, her forehead must have turned red.

But she didn't want to, Mei Changqing had already raised her hand to help her rub her forehead.

"Qiqi, I called you several times just now, but you didn't respond, what did you say you were thinking, thinking so engrossedly, you didn't even know if you bumped into me."

"Oh, it's nothing, I'm thinking about my second brother, and I'm just losing my mind for a while. It's Changqing, you came to me, is there anything wrong? ”

"Yes, about what you told me last time, it's a bit of an eyebrow now. You come here. Mei Changqing took Xiao Qiqi's hand and went to his house, he took out the engraving from the kiln, and was overjoyed to share the good news with Xiao Qiqi.

When Xiao Qiqi saw the lettering one by one, he happily quickly dipped it in ink, and printed the lettering on the white paper, and a word appeared on the white paper in an instant, clear and exquisite.

"Great, Changqing, it's successful, if these words are all engraved and fired according to the commonly used words, when the time comes to print the article, as long as these lettering words are arranged, and then printed on white paper, an article will be printed in an instant."

"Yes, in this way, it will not take so much labor to print books in the future, and, Qiqi said that papermaking technology, I work hard to let people continue to experiment, experiment, and it is almost the same, but the paper that comes out is still quite thin and brittle, and I have to adjust the material formula again, and test it a few more times, and I think it will soon reach the level that Qiqi said." Mei Changqing was in a really good mood, and he was excited when he thought that these two major events that would benefit the country and the people would spread to the world when the time came, so that the children of the poor family could also afford books and paper.

And being able to do these two things, Xiao Qiqi is also in a good mood, she is like a child, printing this word, printing that word, and having a lot of fun.

When Mei Changqing saw it, his eyebrows became more and more gentle, and he said, "By the way, Qiqi, there is one more thing I want to tell you." ”

"What?"

"Qiqi, you said earlier that you didn't want the world to know that this was the recipe you provided, and you didn't want the world to know that this was your idea, you just wanted silver, but I think that the Xiao family needs this good reputation at the moment, so I want to wait for these two things to be done, and when the time comes to explain the situation to the emperor, I will say that this is what your Xiao family figured out when they got the incomplete recipe." If the emperor can change his attitude, then he must make the emperor feel that the Xiao family is valuable, and if the Xiao family becomes famous all over the world for this, the emperor will also reconsider, and then the four princes will also have to weigh the weight, so that the Xiao family will be better off in Luofeng County.

Mei Changqing's consideration, Xiao Qiqi understood what he meant, and because she understood, she felt more and more that she couldn't do this.

"Changqing, I know you have good intentions, but if all the credit falls on the Xiao family, how should you explain to your parents? After all, you wrote to Uncle Mei at the beginning, saying that you were studying these two things, so that Uncle Mei didn't let other things interfere with you, and was bent on letting you do these two things, just so that the Mei family could be famous in the world at that time. Now, you have given all the credit to the Xiao family, how should you face Uncle Mei when you return to Beijing? How did Uncle Mei face the pressure of the Mei family? ”

"That's okay, I said before that this is not something I figured out, it's just a formula provided by others, and I'll just help figure it out, so my father won't have any opinions, Qiqi, you can rest assured, don't worry, I'll take care of those things." What's more, this credit originally belonged to your Xiao family, and it belonged to Qiqi. ”

Mei Changqing's gentlemanly behavior made Xiao Qiqi admire at the same time, and at the same time, he felt more and more that this young man was a good person, but it was a pity that she had a son by her side, if that incident hadn't happened, she might really consider Mei Changqing.

But that incident happened, there was no longer any possibility between her and Mei Changqing, first, the Mei family would not allow Mei Changqing to marry a woman who had children out of wedlock, if it was a concubine, Xiao Qiqi would never will, and secondly, the cold-faced prince of Su Jing, although he had his own dealings with her, it didn't mean that the guy would allow her to marry another man with her son, but she still remembered it firmly how that guy threatened her and didn't allow her to marry.

Therefore, although Mei Changqing is a lover, he can only have no fate with her. Of course, because he was afraid of Mei Changqing, Xiao Qiqi thought of telling Mei Changqing these two good things that were enough to become famous in the world with the mentality of making up for it.

But now, Mei Changqing wants to return the credit to the Xiao family, so how can Xiao Qiqi not consider the situation for him.

"Changqing, you don't need to talk about this matter, we said it at the beginning, how to do it, besides, I just said that, it is you who really do things, so, the credit should be yours, Changqing, I just said such an idea, at that time, you gave me the best reward." Regarding the matter of letting the Xiao family gain a firm foothold, Xiao Qiqi will think of another way.

"But—"

"No, Changqing, this matter is so decided, you are not allowed to say anything about prevarication, the credit should have been yours, and you did it. Besides, I have other ideas here, and the idea is not yet mature, so it is inconvenient for me to say anything, and when I think it is feasible and I have thought it through, I will tell my father when the time comes, and at that time, you don't have to worry about my Xiao family. Xiao Qiqi has said everything to this point, Mei Changqing should not argue with Xiao Qiqi about anything, but Mei Changqing still thinks that the situation of the Xiao family should be considered first.

At this time, Su Liunian came to find Xiao Qiqi.

As soon as he saw Xiao Qiqi and Mei Changqing arguing about something, he didn't even understand the situation, and directly stood on Xiao Qiqi's side.

"I said Mei nerd, you don't have a gentlemanly demeanor anymore, what is a big man arguing with a woman like Qiqi, in my opinion, you just order, Qiqi is what it is, you let Qiqi be, what are you fighting for, right, Qiqi?" Su Liunian flattered Xiao Qiqidao.

This time, he really got to the point.

"I heard it, Changqing, Su Liunian said so, I see that you still dare to fight with me, just listen to me, the matter is settled like this, don't give me anything to excuse me."

"It's—well, Seven-Seven, since you said so, then I won't say anything more." However, Mei Changqing still planned in his heart, and when the time came, he would write that this recipe was from the Xiao family.

And Xiao Qiqi obviously didn't know that Mei Changqing was planning to do this, and now she was asking Su Liunian. "By the way, Su Liunian, did you come to me for something?"

"Yes, the Su family in the capital has just sent someone to send dividends, this is yours, a total of 120,000 taels of silver, I have already taken my share, you don't have to give it to me again."

In fact, Su Liunian didn't take a penny of silver, this is because Su Liunian took into account that there were so many people in Xiao Qiqi's family, what kind of handicraft workshop was being built, and he had to overthrow the old house to build a new house, which must cost a lot of silver, so this time the Su family sent someone to send dividends, and he directly left all the dividends to Xiao Qiqi.

And Xiao Qiqi is not a stupid person, so she naturally understands it very well, but at the moment she really needs silver, so she accepted it without saying anything.

However, she made a note in her heart, and it would be good for Su Liunian to buy the silver into the shares, and when the time came, she would give him dividends when she earned the silver.

"It's okay, I'm short of silver, and this bonus is coming, but it solves my current problem." In fact, she had other plans, and there was no need to spend much silver elsewhere, only the thing she wanted to plan would require a large amount of silver, and even if she had 120,000 taels of silver on hand, it seemed that it was not enough.

The land in the capital is expensive, and there is not much silver to prepare, so there is no confidence after all.
