In Bai Fuzhong, in Bai Jinli's yard.

Bai Jinli, who was sitting on the recliner, was comfortably feeding something to her mouth, while listening to Qi Duo's report and enjoying Qi Duo's leg pinching by the way.

Since the opening of the Koi Pavilion, Qi Duo has been busy at the Koi Pavilion, and if there is nothing to do, he will come back once a week.

I have to say that Bai Jinli's vision is very good.

Because, Qi Duo, who she inadvertently rescued, is an extremely smart, clever, capable, and sincere person.

She is the pillar of the Koi Pavilion, and she is the one with the best skills.

In addition to her good skills, she also has her own set of training for other people in the Koi Pavilion.

The girls who work in the Koi Pavilion are very obedient to her, and they never give birth to quarrels and jealousy between women.

In addition, Qi Duo also has a very high emotional intelligence.

Although it is difficult to find a membership card for Koi Pavilion, it does not mean that every noble person who comes to Koi Pavilion is good-natured.

There will always be people who become emotionally unstable and easy to find fault because of the arrival of menstrual holidays.

And in the face of this situation, Qi Duo also has different ways to deal with it.

She will try her best to solve the problem of finding fault with different people according to their different personalities and hobbies.

If the person who finds fault is really messing around, she will not be overly humble, but knows that with the help of the Koi Pavilion's uniqueness, she will put pressure on her.

Or, think of other ways to leverage your strength.

All in all, as long as Qi Duo is there, the Koi Pavilion will be safe and stable, and there will be no mistakes.

In addition, Qi Duo has an extraordinary loyalty to Bai Jinli because he is worried about Bai Jinli's life-saving grace.

Because Bai Jinli has never treated her as a person, she still taught her well, taught her the skills of survival, and made her the biggest steward of Koi Pavilion.

In the capital, there are already many noble ladies who have friends with her because of her status as the manager of the Koi Pavilion, and even pull down their heads to woo her.

But that didn't make Qi Duo swell.

What should she look like, or what she should look like, not arrogant or impatient, not shocked by honor and disgrace.

even secretly wrote a deed of sale, signed his name, and sent it to Bai Jinli.

This is her attitude towards life, and it is also a way to express her gratitude and loyalty to Bai Jinli.

Bai Jinli did not refuse, and received the deed of sale into her house.

If one day Qi Duo has a man he likes, he will return her deed of sale to her.

If she doesn't accept the deed of sale sent by Qi Duo, for a person of Qi Duo's character, I'm afraid she will feel untrusted.

As was customary, Qi Duo would come to report to her once a week on the situation in the Koi Pavilion.

And take this time to ask her for some new spa techniques and massage techniques.

This method is not too cool for Bai Jinli, who is a little lazy in her temperament.

In her previous life, she had superb medical skills and was a bit clever, but with her brothers and sisters, she actually didn't like to use her hands and brains.

After coming to the Great Qi Kingdom, she went to a poor village, and had to force herself to start struggling and try her best to make money.

But now, she has a lot of business in her hands, and she is not short of money, so she is not particularly concerned about this matter, and she does things according to her preferences.

With a capable person like Qi Duo, it is a very happy thing for her to be a hands-off shopkeeper.

It's like because she was lazy, she threw the courtyard, snack shop, shadow puppet show, etc. to others to take care of.

After she listened to Qi Duo's report on the situation in the Koi Pavilion, Bai Jinli hummed lightly and spoke.

"Yes, Qi Duo, you did a good job, I am relieved that the Koi Pavilion will be handed over to you."

"Thank you for your fancies." Qi Duo had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

If Bai Jinli hadn't saved her and made her what she is today, I'm afraid that she would have become a lump of mud in the pickled land at this moment, or she would have become a loess long ago.

Now she has a very full and beautiful life, and she is very satisfied.

"Master, Qi Duo has one more thing I want to report to you."

"Well, what's the matter?"

"During the period of dealing with the noble ladies who came to the Koi Pavilion, the slave learned a lot of secrets in the front and back yards, so she took advantage of her leisure time to record all their secrets, and I don't know if it will be useful to the master."

After speaking, Qi Duo took out a bound notebook from his arms and handed it to her.

Bai Jinli stopped the feeding in her hand, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and then took the notebook handed by Qi Duo and looked at it.

I was immediately happy when I saw it.

"Qi Duo, you are very good, well done."

This book records in detail what kind of preferences all the ladies who come to Koi Pavilion, which family is the wife, what is the identity of the mother's family, what enemies there are, and everyone in the capital is related.

In addition to their respective circumstances, what is recorded later is some gossip secrets that Qi Duo accidentally heard from them about the front hall and the men in the front hall.

Because he wasn't sure if it was true or not, Qi Duo made a mark in front of those messages.

"It's good that the master doesn't blame the slave and the maid."

"Qi Duo, just do what you think, let it go, if you need anything, tell Xiangming."

After reading the book, Bai Jinli understood Qi Duo's true intentions.

She is helping herself to secretly collect intelligence information in the capital through the existence of Koi Pavilion.

This place in the capital is mixed, and there will not be too few dark lines and dark spots of various forces, including all kinds of Qinglou taverns and so on.

But Koi Pavilion, that's her territory, and the people who entertain them are not ordinary people.

Although they are just women behind the officials of the court, and they don't know the ups and downs in the court, they are all serious ladies and sisters, and they always know more and have more knowledge than others.

When a woman's family gets together, it's a big show, and sometimes a lot of information can be revealed inadvertently.

Coupled with Qi Duo's unintentional temptation, among the messages obtained, there is always something useful to be filtered.

"Yes, thank you for your trust." Qi Duo nodded heavily, and there was a hint of pleasure in his heart.

The master trusts her so much that he is willing to give her a piece of heaven and earth for her to break into.

With the master's trust, she will definitely do everything she can to help the master deal with all kinds of things.

"Xiangming is outside, you go find her."

"Yes, Qi Duo will retire first." Qi Duo withdrew his hand, bowed respectfully and stepped out.

After Qi Duo left, Bai Jinli also got up from the recliner and walked towards the study with her feet raised.

When she was busy in the study for more than an hour, Lin Shenyuan finally came back.

Bai Jinli stopped what she was doing and walked in front of Lin Shenyuan.

"Xianggong, why did you come back so late today?"

"Lady, do you remember that I once mentioned a friend to you?"

"His name is Xu Zhao, he loves to eat osmanthus rice cakes, he likes Dream of Red Mansions, I was going to give him a copy before, but he didn't want to take it, he just borrowed it."

Lin Shenyuan took Bai Jinli's hand and walked to the room and sat down.

"Oh, I remember, you did."

"I met him on my way home and talked to him a little more."

"Uh-huh, I see."

"Lady, the day after tomorrow, I will take a break and want to invite Xu Zhao to come to our house to discuss some things, has it been convenient?"

"Of course it's convenient, since it's your friend, it's definitely a good person." Bai Jinli spoke.

People with Lin Shenyuan's personality don't like to take the initiative to make friends.

Those who can be recognized as friends by him must have something extraordinary.

If so, why should she care so much?

"The lady is really handsome."

"Come on, less poverty. I have two things to tell you. Bai Jinli took advantage of the situation to screw him.

"You say."

"The first thing, Lin Ziang came to me today, just like you said, it's almost the same."

"The second thing, I heard that His Majesty's holy decree has been sent to the Yong'an Hou Mansion, and it seems that the queen chose the Yong'an Hou for Gu Qingying."

"In the future, the Yong'an Hou Mansion will be lively."

When Bai Jinli said the last sentence, there was still a trace of inexplicable excitement in her tone.

However, she seemed to realize something, and soon she restrained her excitement, stared at Lin Shenyuan seriously, grabbed his hand and asked.

"Xianggong, do you really not mind this result?"

"No, it won't. Some people, since they have done something wrong, will receive their due retribution. ”

"That's good. I heard that Mrs. Hou of Yong'an didn't agree to die, and she had a fight with Master Hou, and then she made a fuss about making peace and leaving. ”

"What happened later, what happened later, do you know? Tell me about it. ”

"He went to the palace to ask His Majesty." Lin Shenyuan said calmly.

"Who is he? Yong'an Hou? I really can't see it, although you are a scumbag, you still have feelings for Zhao. Bai Jinli couldn't help but sigh.

"Feelings? Then the lady might as well guess, why did he agree to enter the palace? After entering the palace and seeing His Majesty, what did he do? ”

When Lin Shenyuan said this, there was a hint of ridicule in his tone.

"Didn't he enter the palace of his own free will? Was he forced by the Zhao family? Bai Jinli asked.

"Hmm."

"Huh? What's going on? It stands to reason that the Zhao family no longer has the support of his mother's family, and Yong'an Hou is also a Hou Ye with status, how can he be persecuted? Bai Jinli became more and more curious.

In her opinion, the Zhao family is not smart.

Otherwise, he would not have done anything to fight with Yong'an Hou, and then use the reason of peace to force Yong'an Hou.

So, what exactly did she say?

"What the holy decree says is that let the Marquis of Yong'an marry the county lord, and it did not name that person must be Lin Sheng."

"Xianggong, what do you mean by that? Wait, I seem to know. ”

Bai Jinli just wondered for a moment, and instantly figured it out.

It seems that there is Lin Ziang's handwriting in this!

The holy decree said that Yong'an Hou should marry Gu Qingying, but Yong'an Hou can not only be Lin Sheng, but also Lin Shenyuan and Lin Ziang.

As long as they are willing, the Marquis of Yong'an can find a way to step down immediately and pass on the title.

Once it is spread out, he will not be Yong'an Hou, and he will not have to marry Gu Qingying.

But in any case, this is His Majesty's will, and His Majesty's intention is very clear.

If the people of the Yong'an Hou Mansion really took advantage of this loophole and played these tricks, I am afraid that they would not be far from death.

Yong'an Hou is not stupid, so he naturally understands these truths.
