Chapter 50: The Female Companion of the Chamber of Commerce

When Qin Huai came to the front hall, Yan Biyu was already entertaining Guandu, and everyone could see her intentions, but she didn't know what this extremely extraordinary official son thought.

"My cousin is here, and the official son has been waiting for you for a long time."

Yan Biyu saw that Qin Huai was late, so she hurriedly came over and grabbed Qin Huai's hand, showing extreme intimacy and enthusiasm.

Qin Huai nodded slightly at Guandu, maintaining his usual politeness, his dress today is also extremely plain, he looks gentle and elegant, very close to the eye, but it is quite pleasing to the eye.

"Mingyue has seen Childe, I don't know what happened to Childe looking for Mingyue this time."

Guan Du followed with a light smile, and said without hurrying or slowing: "The last time I met your Yan Mo in the teahouse, Yan Mo has already explained the previous misunderstanding to me, this time it is Miss Su's family and my official family who are holding a banquet for the Chamber of Commerce. ”

Before, my grandfather and uncle had unified the caliber, and the matter of Yan Xiangcheng's injury was regarded as a poor preparation of the little servant in the house, and the broken bow and crossbow were mixed in, which caused an incident, and the punishment was also punished, and this matter passed.

And the fire in the ancestral hall Qin Huai let Mingyue release the news at that time, only saying that the Bai family had no way to run the family, which made the ancestral hall not very watery, and the uncle temporarily accepted the power of the Bai family in order to calm the people, and this is why the Qiu family entered the mansion.

Looking at the dazzling goods on the table, I thought that it was brought by Guandu, and the son of the merchant was generous, but I didn't know what the purpose of these gifts he gave was.

"Cousin, this Yunzhou Chamber of Commerce is not something you can go to if you want to, not to mention that the official son came to invite him personally, this should be the first time."

Yan Biyu looked impatient, as if she was afraid that Qin Huai would refuse.

Qin Huai naturally would not block Yan Biyu's marriage, and hurriedly expressed his position, for fear that he would be misunderstood.

"Actually, I didn't come to Yunzhou for a long time, and I didn't participate much in this party with the sons and nobles, just invite Sister Biyu alone, even if I go, I can't understand it, in case there is a foreign appearance, it will be a joke."

Her answer did not damage the face of the Yan family, but also reasonably rejected Guandu's invitation, seeing that Yan Biyu's expression was as usual, Qin Huai breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Chamber of Commerce is a medium for businesses and nobles to pull in the relationship, go through the motions and listen to the lively things, how can there be any jokes and no jokes."

Guandu's attitude seemed to be earnestly hoping that Qin Huai would go with him, and the words and conversations between him and the nobles at the banquet before were all intended to maintain respect, but they were different from themselves.

Qin Huai was born into the royal family, and she has seen a lot of such men, so she deduced that ......

This Guandu is mostly interesting to her.

She asked herself that she had nothing outstanding except for being arrogant, and now that she was away from the name of the princess, she should be just an ordinary person, what is wrong with this official?

The person before the meeting was gone for a while, and Guandu, as a businessman, was also used to finding words for himself, so he casually picked up the gift box and got a stack of books.

"By the way, the last time I saw Miss Bai, I thought you should like to read, these books are all popular books in Yunzhou recently, and the official borrowed flowers to offer Buddha."

Qin Huai glanced at the book he handed over, the cover of this book was red, there were three of them, and it didn't look thick. The title of the book is elegant, called "Across the Clouds".

"Across the clouds? It's an interesting name. ”

Qin Huai stretched out his hand to take it, swept to the author's column, and found that the writer was called "Mo Yan".

Seeing Qin Huai pondering on the cover, Guan Du stepped forward and introduced.

"Ink words, ink romance, this writer said at the beginning, he hopes to use the power of pen and ink to integrate the truth and tell the story of the world. Momo's romance is also full of romance, and most of his stories are twists and turns, full of deep meaning. ”

After talking about the book writer, the good people of Guandu did it to the end, and commented on the book a few more words.

"The nobles of Yunzhou love to read his books, and this one is also a story often told in teahouses recently, which seems to be about the old things of the previous dynasty, but it's hard to say whether it's true or false."

Momo romance?

This is a good artistic conception, taking such a restrained and unassuming name, it will be difficult to think of underdevelopment in the future.

She accepted the book and did not forget to thank her: "This reading is just for fun, who would bother to study the truth and falsehood, as long as the friendship read in this book is true, then it is enough." Thank you for your kindness, after the time of the Chamber of Commerce is set, you can tell Sister Biyu, if you are free, I will definitely go. ”

Qin Huai finally responded, and when the purpose of the official crossing was achieved, he was ready to leave.

"The official has resigned."

Qin Huai stopped him when he turned around, and asked very abruptly.

"By the way, I heard that you and the sister of the Su family seem to have a marriage contract, I don't know ......"

Although Cao Yingying had also revealed the truth of it last time, Qin Huai just wanted to hear Guandu admit it in person.

Guan Du obviously didn't expect Qin Huai to ask such a direct question at the second meeting, he first settled down, and then replied with his eyebrows: "It's just a rumor on the street, Guan Mou has not yet had a good match, and he has not made a marriage contract." ”

Qin Huai was very satisfied with Guandu's answer, made a gesture of invitation, and watched Guandu leave until he disappeared at the gate.

"What are you asking for?"

Yan Biyu showed a vigilant look, looking at her as if she was looking at a weasel, and the dissatisfaction in her tone was not hidden.

"You still ask me, you'd better look in the mirror now and see if you have the big words 'Marry me' written on your face."

Qin Huai didn't mind, she was already tired after standing for a while, she fell on the seat on all fours, and replied coldly.

"Huh? Is it so obvious? ”

"It's not obvious, so everyone can see it."

In the face of Qin Huai's ruthless demolition, Yan Biyu looked very anxious, as if she felt that the gentle image she had worked so hard to maintain had been shattered overnight.

Qin Huai knew what she was worried about, so he casually flipped through the book "Across the Clouds" on the table and mentioned something.

"Since we can see it, then Guandu can also see it, didn't he say that there is no good match yet, which proves that you have a great chance."

"Really?"

Yan Biyu seemed to have discovered the key to the problem, and her confidence doubled for a while, and the speed of turning her face was amazing.

Qin Huai nodded, reading the book in his hand at a glance and ten lines, this story is probably about a down-and-out princess of the previous dynasty who disguised her identity and hid to a big family to be a maid.

But how can the princess be a maid, she keeps getting into trouble, and she tosses the ladies and aunts in the house endlessly, and the whole house is restless, but she can always rely on her three-inch tongue to retreat. The book seems to have not been finished yet, and there seems to be a large story of the princess's revenge on the current dynasty that has not yet been told.

If you think about it, this story is so much like yourself......

Qin Huai only felt that he was overly worried, in recent years, these folk painting books have been renovated very much, and they are no longer beautiful women with heroes, most of them are what makes Hanako climb to the sky and climb to the female general in one step, or else the female painter is a little careless and offends the crown prince, but these new tricks really have a different flavor, and they look like people can't stop.

Before Qin Huai closed the book, Yan Biyu had a new problem. She stood up and paced up and down the yard, as if she were thinking about something extremely difficult.

"I thought that Qiu's entry into the mansion would only cause trouble for Yan Xiangcheng, but I still felt that something was wrong when I thought about it last night, if Qiu's really gave birth to a son, it would not be good for me, why should I help her?"

Yan Biyu can make such a big progress, Qin Huai is still very pleased, she finally learned to jump out and look at the overall situation. In fact, Yan Biyu's idea is very simple, she, like most noble girls, hopes to be outstanding, and the sudden change in makeup makes her have a sense of crisis, she wants to relieve this sense of crisis, and she doesn't want to lose her family relationship with her mother.

But what Qin Huai wanted to do, he couldn't let her destroy it, so he persuaded her.

"Take a long-term view, you just let her mess around this month. Wait for a month to pass, or wait for the Qiu family to really give birth to the child, you can persuade your mother to keep the child by your side. Qiu's is just a lonely aunt, her arms can't twist her thighs, if a son is raised by your mother's side, he will also help you when he grows up, and you should be happy to have a younger brother in vain. ”

It's another no-loss deal, Yan Biyu was moved, "It makes sense for you to say that, it seems that you don't hate it that much, then you have to accompany me." ”

There's nothing wrong with going out to see and see, she's grown up and never learned how to do business, let alone a chamber of commerce. Mu Guanqing, a female official, often told her that businessmen are not profitable, and the way of doing business is also the most difficult.

At that time, Qin Huai only felt that Mu Guanqing was modest, and it was indeed not difficult to be an official, but it was difficult to be the first female official in the past.

recalled the previous memories, and I don't know when the female official will be able to help me calm down the rumors in Xunyang, so that I can go back as soon as possible.

Qin Huai walked alone on the way back, only caring about this memory and Mu Guanqing, at that time his reputation was not good, Mu Guanqing made many enemies in the court, and the two of them naturally came closer.

"That Guandu doesn't look so simple, Ruoshui still has to be careful of the killer of the Shura Gate when he goes out."

Gu Baixiu suddenly appeared behind her, Qin Huai was really startled, and almost threw out the book in his hand.

"What is the princess thinking?"

Gu Baixiu grabbed her wrist steadily, not understanding Qin Huai's nervousness.

"That Guandu, isn't it just a trick, I've seen a lot of men who want to welcome and refuse, but in this way, I won't like it."

Thinking about what he said to Guan Du, Gu Baixiu also heard it all, and Qin Huai quickly recalled whether there was anything wrong with his words and deeds, and wanted to emphasize it like a cover.

"Do you want to welcome or refuse?"

Gu Baixiu pursed his lips lightly after repeating the word, lowering his eyes, as if trying to understand the meaning of this word applied to Guandu.

Seeing his appearance of rubbing his fingers and thinking seriously, Qin Huai was a little moved, but she was really smooth just now, what she originally wanted to say was actually ...... Lust for profit! Want to get away with it!

In the end, Gu Baixiu, who had failed to penetrate it, stubbornly raised his face again and came to a conclusion that made people laugh and cry.

"It seems that the princess knows men very well, and it is really admirable."

"No...... You listen to me. ”
