Chapter 23 Partnership Stores
Mai Jiu and the three came to the front of Guo Qiyan's small courtyard, she stepped forward and reached out to pull the door knocker, but just pulled it up and knocked on the door before she gently pushed it open with a gust of wind.
Mai Jiuchao probed inside, and there was no one.
The courtyard was surprisingly quiet, she just wanted to lift her foot and step into the threshold but was grabbed by Shen Qianyue behind her, Shen Qianyue let go of Mai Jiu and took a step forward and walked in first.
She held the scabbard in one hand and the hilt in the other, looking around vigilantly, ready to draw her sword at any moment.
Mai Jiu frowned and looked at Shen Qianyue's confused behavior, she picked up Zhihua and strode into the threshold and walked towards the courtyard.
Shen Qianyue saw Mai Jiu directly ignoring herself and swaggering in, she sighed helplessly and put down the hand holding the hilt of the sword.
Mai Jiu pulled Zhihua and went directly into the house, it was also empty, she looked around and shouted, "Guo Qiyan? Chuanwu? What about people? ”
Guo Qiyan and Chuan Wu heard the movement and walked out of the door of the side courtyard and saw the person standing in the courtyard.
"Who?" Guo Qiyan asked, looking up and down at the person in front of him.
Shen Qianyue turned her head to look.
Seeing that the person was unfamiliar and holding a long sword in his hand, Chuan Wu stepped forward and stood in front of Guo Qiyan to make a protective gesture.
Guo Qiyan looked at the man in front of him and looked at the sword at his waist again, he swallowed a deep mouthful of saliva, uneasy.
Isn't this here to seek revenge from Young Master Ben? I can't remember who it is.
Guo Qiyan relied on his white little face, his small mouth that could speak well and his hands that could take care of his skin and beauty did not know how many young women had captured the hearts of many young women.
Shen Qianyue turned around and also looked at Guo Qiyan and the others from top to bottom, and finally fixed her eyes on Guo Qiyan's little face, and then let out a disdainful sound.
Guo Qiyan looked at the disdainful look of the person in front of him, plucked up his courage and asked, "You are here.. What is the purpose? ”
When Chuan Wu saw his young master speak, he also straightened his chest and puffed up his momentum, and said loudly: "What did my young master ask you?" You say! ”
Shen Qianyue only moved her feet slightly, and the two of them took a step back in fright.
At this time, Mai Jiu in the house saw Guo Qiyue who had appeared in the courtyard through the window, and she moved her eyes to see Shen Qianyue who was holding a sword and was menacing.
She hurriedly grabbed the painting and ran out, shouting as she ran, "She came with me." ”
The two turned their heads to look at Mai Jiu at the same time, and Guo Qiyan breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Mai Jiu.
Mai Jiu ran in front of Shen Qianyue to block Shen Qianyue, she looked at Guo Qiyan and asked, "Where have you been?" ”
When Chuanwu saw that the previous person was the girl from last time, he also let down his guard and stood aside.
Guo Qiyan put his hands on it, shook the hair on both sides of his cheeks, and replied handsomely: "I was looking for something in the side yard just now." ”
Shen Qianyue, who was blocked by Mai Jiu, saw Guo Qiyan pretending, she rolled her eyes and asked Mai Jiu: "This is the person you risked your life to come to the mansion?" If the prince knew..."
After Mai Jiu heard the words Wang Ye, he quickly turned around and covered Shen Qianyue's mouth, pushing Shen Qianyue out for more than a meter.
She turned her head to look at Guo Qi and smiled awkwardly, "My cousin Wang Yan didn't know that I was out of the house, and I ran out secretly." ”
Shen Qianyue pulled away Mai Jiu's hand in disgust: "Am I not right?" ”
As soon as this sentence came out, Mai Jiu covered Shen Qianyue's mouth again and made a shushing gesture.
Guo Qiyan looked at the two of them, raised his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, he chuckled and said, "Okay, don't pretend, I know that you are from the palace, and you are not called Mai Jiu, you are called Gu, Zi, Mandarin." The last three words Guo Qiyan said very slowly.
Mai Jiu gently let go of the hand covering Shen Qianyue's mouth, she turned her head to look at Shen Qianyue, Shen Qianyue's eyes were so fierce that Mai Jiu turned her head away.
She looked at Guo Qiqi again, the smile on the corner of Guo Qiyan's mouth, and the laughing Mai Jiu's heart became even more furious.
Both of them were waiting for Mai Jiu's explanation.
Mai Jiu lowered her head and snorted a few times in confusion, she didn't know how to explain, saying that she directly said her real name when she reported her home, and then she was wrong and just like that?
One head is three big, and this pressure of two sides is really trying to find a crack in the ground to get into.
After coming over for a long time, Guo Qiyan said, "Okay, if you don't want to explain, don't explain, you big family has a lot of things." What are you looking for me today? ”
Mai Jiu saw Guo Qiyan breaking the deadlock, and she hurriedly accosted: "The last time I came, didn't you say that you would accept apprentices?" I'm here to learn your craft. ”
As soon as these words came out, Guo Qiyan's face was full of question marks, and he turned his head to look at Chuan Wu behind him, who spread his hands and made a helpless expression.
Last time, Guo Qiyan just saw that Mai Jiu was good-looking and had something to look for, so he took her back to take Hongyan Yushuang and planned to leave a good impression, whether he accepted the apprentice or not, he said that he didn't say this, and he didn't want to forget about it first, even if he said it, it was also his routine when he teased the little girl.
Mai Jiu looked at Guo Qiyan's expression, she tilted her head and asked expressionlessly, "You won't play with me here, and you won't recognize anyone, right?" ”
The first time I saw Guo Qiyan Mai Jiu, I felt that this person was clever and eloquent, and he could speak well in combination with his face with clear eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, as expected, he was really a person who ran the train with a mouth.
Guo Qiyan turned around and smiled, "You see you say this, I'm trying to accept more apprentices, aren't we friends?" I'll teach you whatever you want to learn. ”
Since Guo Qiqi said so, Mai Jiu said unceremoniously, "Eh, yes, you and I are friends, so let's do it, you can tell me all your skin care formulas and beauty methods." ”
As soon as these words came out, Guo Qiyan was so shocked that he opened his mouth, he had never seen such a straightforward planing family.
Mai Jiu crossed his hands on his hips, straightened his chest, and desperately looked very imposing, and unconsciously both chins were revealed.
Guo Qiyan and Chuan Wu looked at each other, and he hesitated, "This..."
He has been wandering the rivers and lakes all these years, and his family has not been in harmony with the royal family, so he naturally does not want to have anything to do with the royal relatives and relatives.
Mai Jiu looked at Guo Qiyan's embarrassed appearance and said, "I guess you don't agree, so let's take a step back, let's open a store together, I'll look for the store, and you will earn six and four of the money." ”
Mai Jiuxian raised his requirements very high, and slowly declined, and in the end, Guo Qiyan would agree.
Seeing that Guo Qiqi was still frowning, she continued: "You are exposed to the wind and sun every day, and the girls surround your stall with three layers inside and three layers outside, and I will find a bigger store in the future, and there will naturally be more girls looking for you than now." It's easy to discuss dividends, I'll only take a small share, and the rest is yours. ”
Guo Qiyan admitted that he was indeed a little moved when these words came out, and he turned his head to look at Chuan Wu and whispered.
Mai Jiu waited for a long time and didn't see the two of them end the conversation: "Okay, no, why are you so uneasy with silver, you are so hesitant to make money with money." ”
Guo Qiyan ended the conversation with Chuanwu, turned his head to look at Mai Jiu, and wanted to open his mouth to refuse.
Before she could speak, Mai Jiu noticed it, and she said sharply, "If you don't agree today, you have to agree, it's naturally better to agree, and besides, I have a sword." After speaking, she stretched out her thumb and pointed to Shen Qianyue behind her.
Shen Qianyue heard Mai Jiu's words and took a step forward and pulled out her sword, the silver sword flashing with dazzling sword light.
As soon as the sword was drawn, Chuanwu immediately stepped forward and protected Guo Qiyan again.
"If you have something to say, the sword is ruthless, and people are affectionate, everything can be discussed." Guo Qiqi stretched out his hand and said in a cowardly tone.
In terms of medical skills, he is definitely incomparable, when he was a teenager, he saved and injured many people, but in terms of martial arts, he can only escape, and he runs faster than anyone else.
"Okay, it's such a happy decision, you are not allowed to run for a few days, I will come, if you run away, I will tell you that people can also be ruthless." After speaking, Mai Jiu picked up Shen Qianyue with one hand, and Zhihua with the other, and walked towards the courtyard gate, leaving only the two behind him to look at each other.
Out of Guo Qiyan's small courtyard, Shen Qianyue asked, "Madam, has the prince treated you badly?" How would you want to partner with that kind of person? ”
Mai Jiu snorted: "Look at it, you can't get along with silver." Last time the Queen Mother's birthday, I found a cream from him and gave it to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother liked it very much, and I was confident that the two of us could make a lot of money together. ”
Guo Qiyan has good craftsmanship and things, and Mai Jiu has connections and can sell, so he circles the money of those rich wives, isn't it a circle.
What was not done in modern times, she must pick it up in ancient times.
Mai Jiu glanced at Zhihua and then at Shen Qianyue, and continued: "Don't let the prince know, this is my own business, and when I earn money in the future, I will take you to eat and drink spicy food." After speaking, Mai Jiu reached out and put his hand on the shoulders of the two.
"Master, do you really want to open a store?" Zhihua, who was on the side, asked.
Mai Jiu turned his head abruptly to look at Zhihua: "You won't have trouble with silver, right?" ”
Zhihua shook his head quickly: "No, the slave maid remembered that Miss Wei's family turned out to be the richest man in the capital, if you want to open a store, you can go to her and ask." ”
Mai Jiu let go of Zhihua and patted his head: "Yes, why did I forget her, the building near the water will get the moon first." ”
Wei Xiran's family was the richest man in the capital a few years ago, the Wei family knew how to do business and had a unique appreciation, making a fortune by selling porcelain, silk and tea, after that, the Wei family was also involved in money villages, wineries, pawnshops, etc., and occasionally sold some handicrafts imported from abroad.
Wei Xiran got the personal inheritance of her father, she was eloquent, eloquent, and served as the leader of the family business at a young age.
Unexpectedly, three years ago, the Wei family was too far out and was plotted against Wei Xiran's father and mother in the wilderness, and the Wei family was instantly lonely.
The first emperor died, and today's saint has long regarded the Wei family as a thorn in the flesh, and took this opportunity to add fuel to the fire, disguised as bandits in the middle of the night, entered the Wei mansion, and looted the Wei family's treasures, and smashed the rest and burned them.
The two sisters and brothers of the Wei family also lived on the streets because of this, and in the end, it was the prince who lent a helping hand to Wei Xiran and gave her a place to live and reinvigorate the family business.
Wei Xiran relied on his father's connections and his unique business skills to make a comeback immediately, but unexpectedly, this time completely angered the current saint.
This time, the emperor did the opposite, and wanted Wei Xiran to enter the palace as his concubine, so that Wei Xiran would take care of Wei Xiran in the palace if there was any movement in her hands.
Wei Xiran was naturally unwilling, she pinned all her high hopes on her younger brother and planned to escape overnight, but unexpectedly, the person who came to pick her up had already been guarding the door, so Wei Xiran could only take poison and commit suicide in front of them.
Wei Xiran committed suicide, and the Wei family hastily held a funeral under the pressure of the emperor and buried Wei Xiran.
Since then, the Wei family has been taken over by Wei Xiran's younger brother, and the Wei family is not as extensive as it used to be, and An An has started a small business.
The emperor had a lot of fun, seeing that Wei Xiran had passed away, and the Wei family knew how to retreat, so forget it
Where would anyone think that Wei Xiran was killed by the explosion, and no one thought that all this had been expected by Sang Huai'an, it was Sang Huai'an who gave her the medicine, and it was Sang Huai'an who dug her out of the soil.
Wei Xiran avoided the limelight for a year before daring to return to the capital, and then she borrowed it to live in the palace.
The only people who know Wei Xiran's origin are the women of the palace, and these things are the topics of their gathering and chatting after dinner, of course, those who know about this matter also include Mai Jiu, who likes to gossip.
