Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Handmaid Xiaoqing
The power of the Xi family is in the south of Yushui City, and the Fang City in the south of the Xi family is far away from the Fang City in the North District of the Xia Family, and the competition between the two Fang markets is particularly fierce, and various means of soliciting customers can be described as endless.
Xi Qiushui, the son of the head of the Xi family, is the inspector of Fang City, South District, Xi Jianan, in the Fang City, there are two kinds of shops that are the most important, one is a medicinal herb shop, and the other is a blacksmith shop. The herb shop and the blacksmith shop are the most profitable shops, and they are also a demonstration of the family's strength. Among the customers who come and go in the city, the most willing to spend money are cultivators, and cultivators generally have more needs for items such as potions, medicinal materials, weapons and armor.
In order to attract more customers, the medicinal herb shop in Fang City, Nanqu City, thought of a way to rent some precious medicinal materials at the auction house in Yushui City, and the hundred-year-old four-eared orchid that Xia Yan needed was rented by the medicinal herb shop in Fang City, Nanqu City a month ago.
They put this herb in the herb shop, not to sell, but to play an advertising effect. Businessmen are very shrewd and naturally know the benefits of advertising.
"Smack!"
Xi Qiushui slapped his palm on the sandalwood table, stood up suddenly, the gorgeous brocade robe on his body fluttered, his face was grim, and his eyes were vicious.
"Hmph, it must be the hateful Xia family who bought the four-eared orchid, hmph, that ghost girl also said that she was a mysterious person who wanted to buy a four-eared orchid, I guess it must be the people of the Xia family who made a fool of herself in order to conceal her identity!" Xi Qiushui snorted coldly, his face extremely gloomy.
"Young master, the auction house has just left, or we will intercept her back and buy the four-eared orchid!" said a guy from the herb shop.
Xi Qiushui rolled his eyes, glanced at the guy, and then sneered: "No need! The forces behind the auction house are too huge, and it is not something that our Xi family can easily offend." Since the Xia family wants to fight with us, then fight well, and our Xi family is not afraid. After two days, I will take people to patronize the Xia family's North District Fang Market, hehe!"
The guy in the shop hurriedly bowed down, with a charming smile on his face, and said with a cracked mouth and obscene eyes: "The young master must have paid great attention, then the Xia family wants to fight with the young master, it is simply asking for a dead end! The young master's resourcefulness is unparalleled in the world, and the young master's martial arts are the first in the world!"
"Hahahaha......" Xi Qiushui looked at the guy with satisfaction and laughed happily.
Before a cup of tea, the green-clothed girl from the auction house medicinal herb shop came to the pharmacy in the south district of Xijia, saying that she was ordered to retrieve the four-eared orchid. Xi Qiushui asked why she wanted to get the four-eared orchid back, and the girl in green said that someone wanted to buy the four-eared orchid.
At that time, Xi Qiushui was a little puzzled, why did someone in Yushui City suddenly want to buy such an expensive medicinal material? Moreover, it was a primary medicinal material! He then asked who was going to buy a hundred-year-old four-eared orchid, and the girl in green hesitated for a while before she said that it was a mysterious person with a mask on his face.
Xi Qiushui's mind turned, and he suspected that it was the people of the Xia family who knew that the Xi family rented the auction house for a hundred years of four-eared orchids to attract customers, so they came up with such an idea to buy four-eared orchids and destroy the Xi family's plan. Although he was very angry, the auction house must not be offended.
After the girl in green left, Xi Qiushui vented fiercely. Xi Qiushui is the most outstanding figure in the younger life of the Xi family, and he is the son of the patriarch, in the Xi family, even the elders are extremely polite to him.
After serving as the inspector of Nanqufang City, Xi Qiushui is even more invincible, and his arrogance is even greater!
............................................................
When Xia Yan returned to the Xia family's house, it was just after noon, after he left the auction house, he made sure that no one was following, so he ate a little food on the street at random, and then hurried back.
Now that all the medicinal materials are ready, just wait for the Holy Emperor Old Man to teach him how to prepare the potion.
When Xia Yan opened the courtyard door, his eyes were glazed, thinking that he had gone to the wrong place.
I saw the flowers and plants all over the courtyard, fragrant and lingering, bright and dazzling, making people feel refreshed and cheerful and comfortable. Among the flowers, there is a young girl, whose skin is like silk and white as winter snow. The slender waist moves forward with a pair of golden lotus, and the watering can is watering the flowers and plants in his hand, and the smile and cheek seem to be an intoxicating dance, and the beads of sweat on the pretty face shine charmingly in the sun.
Xia Yan was stunned, puzzled, and just wanted to quit to see what was going on, the girl had already found Xia Yan who pushed the door in.
"Young Master!" the girl hurriedly bowed and saluted, her voice was like a yellow warbler out of the valley, wonderful, and it was a completely different type from Yafen who challenged the extreme venue.
"Are you?" Xia Yan knew that he hadn't gone to the wrong place, but that the courtyard had changed too much.
"My name is Xiaoqing, and the patriarch asked me to serve the young master!" Xiaoqing lowered her small head, her two braids were very cute, and she was wearing a neat pink dress that outlined her graceful figure. Although Xia Yan didn't recognize her, she did recognize Xia Yan, and now I'm afraid that all the people in the Xia family recognize Xia Yan, including those servants and maids.
Xia Yan frowned when he heard this, and said in a somewhat unhappy tone: "How can this be done? I'm used to it alone, you go back and talk to the patriarch, just say that I don't need someone to serve!"
When Xiaoqing heard this, her face suddenly turned pale, her weak body trembled slightly, she glanced at Xia Yan with some pity, and lowered her head as if she was afraid, as if she had been infinitely wronged.
Xia Yan said in his heart, this woman is really troublesome!
Women like Xia Zixin are troublesome, women like Xiaoqing are also troublesome, and women like Yafen are even more troublesome, and they are also dangerous!
"Forget it, I'll leave her behind, anyway, there is a vacant wing room on the left side of the courtyard, and I just let her do things on her own! Besides, if I insist on not accepting it, the patriarch may be unhappy because of it. Xia Yan thought about it, and couldn't bear to drive Xiaoqing away, and after weighing it again, he still felt that it would be natural.
"In this way, then you will live in this courtyard, I usually don't call you, you must not come to my room!" Xia Yan finally commanded with a dark face.
Hearing this, Xiaoqing suddenly burst into tears and laughed, like a pear blossom in the rain, dazzlingly beautiful. Xia Yan couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and hurriedly turned his gaze and walked towards his room, his heart fluctuating.
"Yes, young master!" Huang Ying's voice came from behind him.
Xia Yan is already fifteen years old, and he has become an adult in the Dragon Continent, so he naturally does not understand the relationship between men and women. However, now Xia Yan can't think about this.
Entering the room, Xia Yan was shocked again, at this time all the utensils in the room had been replaced, compared to before, it can be said that the current room furnishings are a hundred times more gorgeous.
All the utensils are of the highest quality materials, and they are all brand new, obviously just purchased.
Especially the fragrant wood bed on the side is more than twice as big as before, sleeping on such a bed, even if it is horizontal! Turning around and glancing at Xiaoqing, Xia Yan shook his head and didn't ask, his heart must have been ordered by the patriarch to be replaced.
As soon as this status changed, the treatment also changed completely. If Xia Yan didn't shine in the selection of outstanding children, I'm afraid that no one would remember where he was.
"Oops, it's not good......" Suddenly, Xia Yan's face changed and he remembered something, he put the medicinal herbs he bought yesterday directly on the table in the room, because he was used to not having anyone come to him, so he didn't pick it up when he went out in the morning.
Hearing Xia Yan's exclamation, Xiao Qing hurriedly ran over with his little feet and asked in a little panic, "Young Master, what's wrong with you?"
Xia Yan said, "Xiaoqing, have you seen the grass that was originally on my table?"
Xiaoqing's small nose wrinkled slightly, and her ruddy little mouth opened to reveal her teeth, and said, "I put those grasses in the kitchen, and I saw that they looked like medicinal herbs, so I didn't throw them away." Young master, are you sick, do you want to decoction medicine?"
Xia Yan rolled his eyes and was startled, the medicinal materials bought back with hundreds of gold coins were almost thrown away, fortunately, this Xiaoqing was sensible and didn't throw it away directly, otherwise it would be miserable.
With a long sigh of relief, Xia Yan put on a smiling face and looked at Xiaoqing and said, "Good job, quickly bring those grasses, I want to use them." ”
