Chapter Ninety-Seven: Jinyifang
Qu Xiaobai withdrew his head from the cabinet and looked at Yang Ling, "Aren't you really stupid?" It's not like you haven't read the book. β
Yang Ling took out the book from his sleeve and stared at Qu Xiaobai, "I know that if the content of this book spreads, there is a risk of killing the head, so I should put it away, don't let anyone snoop on it." β
Yang Ling slapped the book on Qu Xiaobai's hand and continued: "When I came in just now, I found that there were traces of someone in the room, and there was nothing missing, except for one of your bras. β
"Touched?" Qu Xiaobai got up from the ground in surprise, "Where have you moved?" β
Qu Xiaobai hurriedly looked around, Yang Ling looked at her, and sighed helplessly, "I have already checked it when I came in, and there is nothing else missing, except for your corset." The person who came in had been to the bed, in front of Duobaoge, in front of the wardrobe, in front of Duobaoge, he climbed on the stool, and successively touched the glass net bottle and blue and white jar on the third layer of Duobaoge, as well as the white fox embroidered screen you liked. β
Yang Ling approached Duobaoge, his slender fingers slid over the third grid, and his eyes moved from Duobaoge to Qu Xiaobai.
Qu Xiaobai's gaze kept moving with his hand, and he suddenly understood, "You said that the person who came climbed on the stool and touched those things on the third floor, which shows that the person who came here is short, most likely, a child." Qu Xiaobai looked out of the door angrily, "Mu Qisheng!" Stinky boy! β
Qu Xiaobai shouted, and was about to go to Mu Qisheng, but Yang Ling grabbed her, "It's just that a child is naughty, if you are serious, it will seem that you are naΓ―ve." β
Qu Xiaobai looked at Yang Ling in disbelief, when did this guy become so tolerant?
You can't be hiding any bad intentions, right?
Hey, although he made a mistake, but after all, he is just a child, you will not do a bad hand to every child, right?
"What? Afraid that I will do something to him? Who do you think your husband is? Yang Ling saw the undisguised expression on her face and knew what she was thinking.
Do you think you can't do it? Isn't it just a person like you who will be ruthless? Qu Xiaobai sneered, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, he only grinned and said: "If a child makes such a mistake, he has to be taught a hard lesson, if you don't want to be this bad guy, I will wait for a while, and when I have time, I will go and tell Lin Pei and let him take care of his students!" β
"He? He himself is so virtuous, and you still expect him to manage the children well? Mu Nanyun, it was because he was blind that he hired him to be his brother's Xixi. There was a day when he regretted it. β
Yang Ling pursed the corners of his mouth disdainfully and sneered.
Tsk, even Mu Nanyun is lying down, fool, how hostile you are to the people of Mufu, how much you can't hope that Mufu is good. Qu Xiaobai is very concerned, Mu Fu is her father, and she can't be offended, "Forget it, I'm going to go back to Yangshutun today, go and get back the things made by Tuoqu Xiaohei, and send them to the store to be arranged." β
"You said that, but that?" Yang Ling pointed to the corner of the wall, where there were four or five mannequins, according to Qu Xiaobai's requirements, they were all made according to Yang Hongxia's body shape, all of them were plump and realistic.
However, such delicate handicrafts are piled up in the corner, like a pile of garbage.
Qu Xiaobai glanced at Yang Ling, "Hey, you got it back?" When did you get it back? β
Yang Ling shrugged, "I asked Chen An to get it back, knowing that this is a very important thing for you." But, Qu Xiaobai, this thing ...... This, you think, can attract customers with it? β
"Naturally, they alone are not enough. Opening a shop is a meticulous job, and every detail is crucial. Qu Xiaobai ran to the corner of the wall, picked up the pile of wooden dolls, and wrapped them in cloth, "Since it has been delivered, let's send it to the shop in the county seat." β
Yang Ling's disdain, she automatically ignored it. The ancients had ditches in their minds, and in order to make her life chic and wanton, she could only pretend not to see these ditches and bumps.
Yang Ling was still holding the booklet he had read before, the booklet was rolled into a tube, he held the tube and knocked it on Qu Xiaobai's shoulder, his eyes shining: "This plan book is well written, and it is indeed meticulous." β
"My proposal? When did you take what I put in the cupboard? Don't tell you to steal, why do you have a pair of gentleman's hands? β
"Gentleman's hand? Interesting. Yang Ling handed the plan back to Qu Xiaobai, not without grievances: "I took my wife's things and became a gentleman." I left, just in time to go to the county seat for lunch. β
"Good...... I said the wrong thing, and I will treat you to lunch. β
"My lady is smart and exquisite, my mind, needless to say, the lady can guess."
Yang Ling took the initiative to put a bunch of puppets on his back, shook Qu Xiaobai's hand, opened the door and walked out.
Lin Pei caught a glimpse of the two of them going out and asked, "Are you two going out?" β
"Go to the county seat. Are you going or not? I'll give you a ride. Qu Xiaobai said.
Lin Pei waved his hand, "Don't dare, I still have paintings that haven't been completed, so I won't go with the two of you." "My eyes turned to Yang Ling, my mind was spinning, I wanted to follow and mix, but I was afraid that the person next to you would eat me.
Although the two of them didn't even miss a look, Qu Xiaobai only felt a sudden pressure on his head, and hurriedly pulled Yang Ling and bypassed Lin Pei, "Since Mr. Lin is not going, then we will go first." β
Qu Xiaobai did not forget to tell the Zhang family to serve the guests from Mufu well, and then got into the carriage with Yang Ling.
drove all the way to Jinyifang first, thinking that before the opening, the shopkeeper would be busy here, but he didn't want to meet the housekeeper Tang Muqiao.
"Steward Tang is also there? How do you have time to get busy with the things in the shop? Qu Xiaobai smiled and pulled Yang Ling into the shop.
Yang Ling nodded lightly to Tang Muqiao, and said hello.
Tang Muqiao sighed helplessly, shook his head, ignored Yang Ling for the time being, and said to Qu Xiaobai: "I have nothing to do today, so I'll come and have a look." After all, what our young master is most worried about is the opening of this brocade shop. β
"What is he most worried about about the opening of this brocade shop? How short of silver is he? Yang Ling glanced at Tang Muqiao, his eyes were hidden and fierce.
Tang Muqiao said: "There is no shortage of silver in the Mu Mansion, but it also takes a lot of money to maintain the expenses of such a large mansion. β
"With just such a shop, you can maintain the expenses of your mansion?"
"It's a point to earn a point."
Yang Ling glanced at Tang Muqiao, "He believes in my wife's ability too much, right?" β
"How can we guess the mind of our master? However, Mrs. Zun's ability is really impressive. β
Qu Xiaobai heard that the conversation between the two of them was not right, and there was a bit of gunpowder, and he secretly rolled his eyes in his heart, how much Yang Ling hated the people of Mufu, and everyone in Mufu had to be so-for-tat.
"By the way, Steward Tang, how is your General Mu's battle? Is there any news coming back? β
Qu Xiaobai hurriedly came up to interrupt the conversation between the two and diverted the topic.
Yang Ling and Tang Muqiao didn't want her to know too much about the grievances between them, so they both stopped in time, Tang Muqiao said: "There is a news that came back, saying that it was a small victory, but this time Di Yi came with a lot of soldiers, there are hundreds of thousands, this battle, it is estimated that there will be a fight." β
"It's a pity that he didn't come back to witness the opening of the shop he was most worried about. But it doesn't matter, when he comes back triumphantly, I'll give him a beautiful answer. Come on, help me set it up. β
Qu Xiaobai happily opened the package, picked up the pile of puppets she made, and said while looking for a place to place it: "I tell you, if you are a soldier, you should go into battle to kill the enemy to defend your family and defend the country, and if you are a farmer, you will work diligently and diligently, and if you are a student, you will concentrate on studying, and as for us who are in business, then we should make money happily." Yang Ling, what are you doing stunned? Go and help me get my clothes and put them on these wooden men. β
Yang Ling looked at the wooden people that were scattered and placed in disgust, and opened his eyes in disgust, "Since you want to make money happily, then you can happily serve these wooden people to get dressed." β
The little girl is sometimes smart and witty, but sometimes she is too simple and stupid, for example, now, she asked Qu Xiaohei to carve these wooden people, although they are wooden, but all of them are realistic in shape, and the proportions of real people are the same, she can really do it.
Qu Xiaobai glanced at him, and when he saw his face, he understood what he was thinking at this time, and said disdainfully: "Pedantic." "It's said that he is pedantic, but I don't see him being such a gentleman when he is facing her. Hypocrite. Qu Xiaobai slandered again in his heart.
Tang Muqiao didn't make a move, but just visually checked the size of those wooden figures, found a few clothes according to the size, and put them on the counter.
Shopkeeper He was hiding in the counter and doing accounts, and he didn't mean to come out to help the gang, but a pair of eyes glanced over from behind the counter from time to time, peeking at the dolls in Qu Xiaobai's hands.
It's really well done. Shopkeeper He sighed secretly.
After Qu Xiaobai was busy, he finally dressed the wooden people and arranged them properly, and now look at these clothes, which are intuitive, vivid and beautiful.
"Fool, look back, is there anything that is not becoming?"
Yang Ling didn't reply, and said perfunctorily: "It's good." β
"You didn't even look at it and said okay?"
Tang Muqiao looked at those templates and praised: "It's wonderful, it's much more intuitive and vivid than hanging there." Mrs. Yang's idea was a real surprise. β
Yang Ling turned his face and glanced at Tang Muqiao, the two eyes collided in the air, and they both avoided at the first touch, Yang Ling moved his gaze to those templates, only glanced at them, then moved away, and said, "It's okay." Finished? Then go for lunch, hungry. β
"Hungry? Then I'll go to dinner first, and I'll come back in the afternoon. Steward Tang, shopkeeper He, let's do it together. Qu Xiaobai measured the template again, clapped his hands, and smiled with satisfaction.
Shopkeeper He glanced at Yang Ling, who had always been like an ice ballast, and went to eat with him? Don't dare, don't dare
