Hearing what he said was consistent with what Gardenia had detected, Qingwan nodded slightly and sneered: "Didn't you give it to Qi?" Search him carefully! ”

Immediately, a few wolf-like guys came up, flipped through for a moment, and sure enough, they found a silver ticket from their clothes.

"Five hundred taels?" Qingwan looked at the numbers on it: "No wonder you can't pay the bill, it turns out that you haven't earned a penny?" ”

Changyong trembled, and only begged for mercy: "Dongjia! What the laughing man said is true, please spare your life! ”

"The handwriting of the two notes is exactly the same, agreed on one thousand taels, delivered five hundred, and still owes five hundred, the matter is already clear, you are all manipulating, first buy the people in the rivers and lakes, steal the secret recipe, but because the money is not received, so the secret recipe is not handed over," Qingwan pinched a few notes: "Take him away!" Send it to the yamen to dispose of it according to the law! ”

Changyong looked at Gardenia standing aside and shouted, "Gardenia, I told you so many truths in vain, is this how you treat me?" ”

"Changyong, you have committed such a big crime yourself, do you still expect me to be complicit with you?" Gardenia Road.

"Someone, take him down to me, and hand him over to the yamen for interrogation!" Lu Xiufang said sharply.

The guys didn't dare to delay, and a few people came up, covered Changyong's mouth, and dragged him down.

"Thank you to the two owners for their insight and clearing up small grievances." Cheng Yong kowtowed a few times.

"That's it, get up," Qingwan said, "You have also suffered during this time, so you don't need to rush to the front to work." You and Gardenia are not in good health, so let's go down and rest first. ”

The two agreed to leave, and Lu Xiufang forced her eyes to look at the rest of the people: "Have you all seen it?" This is the end of betrayal! Ask yourself, since you entered our shop, whether it is the Wei Dong family or me, how have you been treated? ”

"The two ladies are generous and benevolent, and their kindness is higher than heaven."

"Although I said this, I don't know what I think in my heart," Lu Xiufang sneered: "But I'll put my words here first, if you are loyal to the Lord, I will naturally not be able to treat you badly, but like Changyong, if you do something that destroys your conscience, I am afraid that God will not spare you!" ”

"The little ones should be loyal and do their best, and they will never dare to have two hearts." Everyone hurriedly said in unison.

"Forget it, the matter has come to light, don't be angry." Qingwan persuaded: "Most of them came in as soon as the shop opened, how they behave, we all know in our hearts, even if this matter is over, there is no need to mention it in the future." ”

"Let's all go down!" Lu Xiufang was still angry: "Be careful for me in the future!" ”

When everyone dispersed, Qingwan smiled and said, "Why are you so angry? Be careful. Open the door to do business, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not encounter this kind of thing, you are so anxious, and you will be able to pay it back in the future. ”

"Second sister-in-law, can I not be in a hurry? That secret recipe is the lifeblood of our shop. Besides, my second sister-in-law handed over a good shop to me, but the secret recipe was stolen, how can I swallow this breath? ”

"You have to think about it too much," Qingwan hurriedly said: "Could it be that you lost it intentionally?" If so, how can I get along with it in my heart? ”

"Second sister-in-law, I know your heart," Lu Xiufang hurriedly held her hand: "I just want to run our shop well wholeheartedly, and I won't talk about this in the future." ”

"That's it," Qingwan said with a smile: "The two of us are not like sisters, what else do we share with each other?" ”

Lu Xiufang smiled and expressed the doubts in her heart: "Second sister-in-law, did you already guess that Changyong did it?" Seeing that you have always been confident, did you find something? ”

"That's not true," Qingwan smiled, "However, I guessed that Changyong did it, and when I came back this time, from the first time I saw him, I felt that something was wrong, my eyes were flustered, and I was very nervous about the secret recipe, and you also said that Chengyong was also exposed by him, so I think it was him nine times out of ten." But there is no evidence, I originally wanted to let out a wind, scare the snake, and attract Changyong to show his feet, but I didn't expect that this matter was solved so smoothly that it was greatly helped by Gardenia. ”

"For a long time, Fanhua Cosmetics Shop has been arguing with us," Lu Xiufang said: "It's just that I didn't expect to spend a lot of money to steal our secret recipe, and now the matter is revealed, I don't know how to react." ”

"Do you know who the owner of that shop is?"

Lu Xiufang shook her head: "I have also checked this, but the owner of the flower shop is probably a person with a background, and I haven't found out who it is anyway, and he is usually the shopkeeper in the shop." ”

Qingwan nodded: "We don't need to be in a hurry, just wait and see how things develop." ”

"Back to the two ladies, Fang Cai sent someone from the Wei Mansion to ask Mrs. Lu when she can go back?"

Looking out the window, it was already full of stars: "Tell the outside to prepare the carriage and horses, and I will go back." ”

Lu Xiufang also stood up: "Second sister-in-law, go back quickly, uncle and aunt must be in a hurry." It's easy to come back once, and there must be endless words. ”

"Don't worry about these things anymore, take a break, look at the past few days, your face is not good." Qingwan also instructed.

Lu Xiufang agreed, sent her out, watched her get in the car, and came back.

When she returned home, she saw her parents still waiting for her in the hall, seeing this scene, Qingwan couldn't help but feel sad for a while, and said with a smile: "Dad, mother, it's so late, why are you still waiting for me?" There were too many things in the shop today, so it was delayed. ”

"It doesn't matter," Qing Boding smiled slightly: "I'm old, I can't sleep, it's okay to sit." ”

"What about the eldest brother and the second brother?"

"There are official affairs in the yamen, and you can't get out of it," Qing Boding said: "That's it, this is also common, and your mother and I are used to it." ”

"It would be nice to marry a daughter-in-law whenever they want," He said, "and there will be someone who can hold their hearts." ”

"Look at you, and you are talking nonsense, even if you become a family, will you not be able to do anything?" Qing Boding disagreed.

"Anyway, Guan'er has reached the age when it is time to start a family, isn't this the most important thing in life?" He Shi said unconvinced: "You are not in a hurry, I am worried!" ”

"What my mother said is good," Qingwan saw that her parents were in a good mood, and wanted to take this opportunity to tell Qinglu about it: "The eldest brother's marriage really has to be considered." ”

"To put it simply, how can this lifelong event be so easy?" He Shi looked extremely worried: "Your eldest brother is that arrogant character, and ordinary girls still don't look down on it, I really don't know what this kid thinks?" ”

"Mother, there is a good family affair now," Qingwan said busily: "I and my eldest brother can be described as a match made in heaven!" ”

"What?" He was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Whose young lady is it?" We come from a poor background, so it's best to find an ordinary family."

"The girl I'm talking about is just noble, a princess!" Qingwan said as she observed her parents' demeanor attentively.

Sure enough, after the initial surprise, the two elders invariably expressed their disapproval: "Princess? How is this possible? said that he would not marry into a family like us, even if it was true, it must not be."

"Dad, mother, you probably think wrong," Qingwan said: "What I am talking about is the princess of the Turks!" ”

At this time, the second elder was even more shocked and couldn't close his mouth: "What? Turkic"

"Exactly," Qingwan hurriedly continued: "It was the eldest brother who met him when he was on an envoy to the Turks some time ago. This princess's name is Qinglu, and I have seen it, and she is indeed a good girl who is hard to find. Not to mention being beautiful, his temperament is also very straightforward, he has lived in my house in Qianzhou for several days, and his eldest brother is definitely a pair of beautiful people! ”

In the face of this sudden news, Qing Boding and his wife couldn't react a little: "I never dreamed that my family would marry a Turkic woman or a princess"

"What's this? As long as two people are in agreement, it is not a problem. Qingwan hurriedly said: "You don't know yet, right?" The eldest brother and the heron have a very close relationship, and it is love at first sight! ”

"No way!" After being silent for a long time, Qing Boding finally spoke: "This marriage, your mother and I must not agree!" ”

Although this reaction was also expected, but such a resolute decision made Qingwan a little stunned: "Dad"

"If it were the Central Plains people, your mother and I would not be such old-fashioned people, maybe we would agree. But Turkic women, who say that the difference in experience and knowledge since childhood, is that kind of identity, and it is not something that a family like ours can marry. ”

"You don't have to let Qinglu marry, you can also let the eldest brother go to Turkic." Qingwan simply said everything.

Hearing this, He's tears fell instantly: "What? Do you have to get your eldest brother there? How is this possible? Outside the plug, the wind and sand are all over the sky, and there is no one to live"

"The eldest brother is not more worthy of identity than before," Qingwan tried his best to explain: "And now that the Central Plains and the Turkic tribes are getting better and better, there will be no easy war in the future, so there is no need to worry." Besides, the outside of the fortress is not as barren as the legend says."

"You haven't been, how can you know?" Qing Boding said.

Qingwan was speechless for a while, and she didn't dare to say anything about going to the Turks, so she had to say: "But Yanyi has been there several times, can he still lie?" ”

I talked about the incident between Hanguan and the heron carefully, wanting to impress my parents.

"That's not going to work either!" Qing Boding said: "This matter is not so simple! ”

As he was saying this, he heard the servant woman come in and report: "The eldest prince has returned." ”

"Tell him to come in and see me!" Qing Boding said with a cold face.

Seeing that the master's words were not good, the servant woman was also a little flustered, and was busy going out to call Hanguan.

"Mother, how do you feel today?" Hanguan walked in with a tired face, didn't notice the strange look of his parents, and didn't even care about the look that Qingwan gave him, and sat on the chair.

"You still have the heart to ask this!" Qing Boding's tone was full of anger: "Now that you have grown up, you are promising, and you have become an official of the imperial court, so you don't take our two old bones in your eyes, don't you?" ”
