Chapter 248: Challenge Book

Qi Jingyun nodded: "What my cousin-in-law said is extremely true, but how easy is it to say?" This Flying Eagle Guard's human dragon saw the head and the tail, and when he took off his mask, he was no different from an ordinary person, and no one could tell the difference. ”

"And how do you know that?"

Qi Jingyun smiled embarrassedly: "I said that my cousin-in-law wants to laugh at me again, but once I was doing business with the imperial court, and the official in charge of procurement deceived people too much." I was not angry at this time, so I spent a lot of money and made many turns, and bought a man's handle from the Flying Eagle Guard. At the time of the transaction, the person in charge of liaison wore this kind of mask, so the memory is still fresh. ”

Leng Qinghuan sighed in disappointment: "So, you don't have any more clues here?" ”

Qi Jingyun shrugged: "What exactly does my cousin-in-law want to explore?" Jingyun can ask a friend for help. ”

Leng Qinghuan was weak-hearted, and hurriedly refused: "No need, just ask casually." ”

She was afraid that Qi Jingyun would get to the bottom of it again, so she hurriedly changed the topic: "You just said that you have something to do with me, what is the matter?" ”

"Send a challenge book!"

"What challenge?"

Leng Qinghuan was a little puzzled. I have been keeping to myself recently, but I haven't recruited anyone to provoke anyone. Except for Murong Qi, who likes to attract bees and butterflies, could it be that there are other admirers of his who are looking for him to fight for love?

"Our Mo Bao Zhai, with the name of the right minister and your eldest brother, is now quite famous in Shangjing, and the business is booming, and many people have come here to rob the business of other shops. The other shops are okay to say, they don't dare to blatantly oppose us, but the nearest golden bookstore adjacent to our Mobao Zhai is a bit unpopular. ”

Leng Qinghuan raised her eyebrows in surprise: "There must be some origin of this bookstore, right?" ”

"I'm really right for you, the owner of this golden house is General Jinwu's daughter Chu Ruoxi. Although this Chu Ruoxi is said to be a general, she is a qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and knows everything, and she has always had the reputation of the first talented woman in Shangjing, and she has always been more conceited. Many literati admired her talent and cared very much about her business, which was originally second to none in Shangjing.

As soon as our Mobao Zhai opened, it seemed that their business was much colder. This Chu Ruoxi was in a hurry, and even showed up, personally sat in her golden house, calligraphy and painting on the spot, and threatened that all the gentlemen in Beijing, who can be slightly better in calligraphy and painting, are willing to give away the treasure of the town store.

Originally, this was understandable, but there were good deeds who involved the two stores together, talking about who was more skilled between Prince Leng and this Miss Chu Ruoxi, which provoked Miss Chu to speak wildly and criticize Master Leng. ”

"Literati are light, they have been the same since ancient times, I'm afraid they look down on my brother, right?"

Qi Jingyun nodded: "In front of many people, he said that the eldest son of Leng was in vain, and he was just stained with the light of the right minister, and there was a lot of disdain in his words." ”

Leng Qinghuan snorted lightly, disapproving: "But anyone with a little talent is always arrogant, so you don't have to take care of her." ”

"Originally, I didn't want to deal with it, but someone took the initiative to come to the door and sent you a challenge letter to Mobaozhai."

"Give it to me?"

Qi Jingyun nodded: "I will ask you to go to the General's Mansion in two days to participate in her Qushui Liuhu Poetry Meeting." ”

"Persimmon picks soft pinch, she's not stupid. I know a few words in this princess, it's good to be able to prescribe a prescription, let me compete with her in poetry, why won't she compete with me to cure the disease and save people? I went back for me, and I didn't have time to accompany her children. ”

"Really back? Aren't you afraid of her saying behind her back that you're afraid of her? ”

"Whatever. Who is as knowledgeable as her small-bellied chicken intestines. ”

Leng Qinghuan is not a competitive character, not to mention, he really can't compare to others, isn't it humiliating to take the initiative to send it to the door. Heroes don't suffer immediate losses.

Two days later, the emperor's will to marry Leng Qingyao and King Hao came down.

I heard that Princess Hao was not in good health, depressed, and fell ill. Therefore, King Hao advocated not marrying for the time being, and then set a date when Princess Hao's health improved.

The Prime Minister began to prepare Leng Qingyao for marriage.

Leng Qinghuan, as the sister-in-law, although she disagrees with Leng Qingyao's affairs very much, she should also help those who should be helped. After all, in the future, the two will not only be sisters, but also concubines, looking up and not looking down, and they will take care of each other.

It is close to the August Festival, and the folk have the custom of returning to their parents' homes to send festival gifts. She sent someone to ask Leng Qinglang if she would go back to the house to add makeup, but she came back and said that Leng Qinglang was not in the house, and she was very busy going out early and returning late in the past two days.

Since Leng Qinglang married into the palace, except for attending the banquet of her old friends in her boudoir, she rarely runs out on weekdays, not to mention that it is still so early, isn't there something going on?

Since she was not there, Leng Qinghuan went back to the Prime Minister's Mansion by herself.

Unfortunately, Leng Xiang and Leng Qinghe were not in the house, and the subordinates immediately returned to Aunt Xue.

The fourth aunt in the house came from a humble background, but she was just a dowry maid brought by the Jin family from the Jin family, and she was a cotton son who was obedient. Therefore, Aunt Xue's position as the lady of the main room is inevitable. When the people in the house saw the wind and made the rudder, they also followed suit.

In addition, Leng Qingyao was about to marry into the Haowang Mansion again, and Aunt Xue followed the light, and when she came out, she was proud of the spring breeze.

"At this time, the court should not be busy, where did my father and brother go?" Leng Qinghuan asked casually.

"Two days ago, the feng shui bamboo planted by Xiangye in the cemetery was secretly cut off by someone. Originally, it was said that it didn't matter, who knew that the troubles of the past two days would follow, and the Xiangye was suspicious, afraid of affecting the fortune, so he made a special trip to invite Mr. Feng Shui to check it out. ”

Leng Qinghuan didn't believe in these non-existent feng shui sayings, but asked curiously: "What happened to the house?" ”

"The eldest lady doesn't even know?"

Leng Qinghuan shook his head.

Aunt Xue glanced left and right, and then spoke: "Isn't it the trouble caused by the second miss?" ”

Deserted?

Aunt Xue invited her into the front hall and sat down to serve tea, and then she told the story. It turned out that something had happened to the deserted shop.

There are also three shops in Leng Qinglang's wedding, but they are completely different from Leng Qinghuan's, they are all good shops located in a prosperous place, with prosperous business and fat oil.

Among them, there is a restaurant that has been in operation for five or six years, and has the full authority of the shopkeeper to take care of it, and the business has been very stable.

Two days ago, there was an accident in the restaurant. There is a kind of mountain mushroom in the vegetables purchased by the chef, which is very delicious when used to cook black-bone chicken. But that day, he was careless and mixed in with other fungi. The two bacteria are similar in appearance, but they are very different, and this bacterium is extremely virulent.

The black-bone chicken was brought to the table, and the diners ate it, vomiting and diarrhea, and there were serious symptoms, such as convulsions and coma, and in the end they almost died.

The restaurant has an unshirkable responsibility, and after the accident, the cook was afraid of taking responsibility, so he fled overnight, and the shopkeeper was also anxious.

There is a notoriously sloppy scoundrel on the other side, who is a bit insatiable, and has repeatedly fanned the flames and intensified the contradictions. I don't know what unpleasant things I said, and I didn't say a word and started an argument. And the shopkeeper relied on the power of the prime minister's house, a little lawless, and when he was angry, he ordered someone to seriously injure the scoundrel.

At this time, the scoundrel was even more unforgiving, and sued Jingzhao Yin Yamen with a piece of paper, saying that the Qiwang Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion were bullying.

The shopkeeper couldn't hold it, so Leng Qinglang naturally had to come forward. She didn't know what scruples she had, and she didn't dare to ask Murong Qi, so she could only let Leng Xiang come forward to help settle the matter. In order to calm things down and not implicate the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Qiwang Mansion, the silver must be spent less, otherwise it will not be able to stop the mouths of so many victims.

In this regard, Leng Qinghuan is naturally gloating, although he almost killed someone, and it is not authentic to use this word again. But as long as Leng Qinglang suffers, his heart will be happy. And find her something to do, lest she find something for herself.
