Chapter 68: Grandma, or a stepmother

Xuanqi, who had just hid in the tree and intended to take a peek of what was going on indoors, was shocked by the rhubarb's sight, and he didn't dare to stop for a moment.

When he returned to the mansion, he thought of the bright eyes that Rhubarb had seen, and he was still sweating, it was really evil!

"Didn't you go on an errand and forgot to bring something?" Mu Kai came out of the study with a tea tray, and was very surprised to see Xuanqi, who had just walked for a while.

"No, I'm back." Xuanqi didn't want to speak.

"Come in!" Yan Sheng's voice came from inside the house, and Xuan Qi felt refreshed.

Inside the house, the shopkeeper of Kelaixiang, who had a relationship with Xiao Nuan, was reporting the store's income to the master last month. Seeing his happy face, Xuan Qi knew that his task was well accomplished.

"The subordinates will retire first." When the carpenter saw Xuanqi coming in, he thought that there was an important task in the army.

Yan Sheng, who was looking through the account books, said, "No need. Discovered? ”

How did the master know? Xuan Qi lowered his head in shame, "The subordinates are incompetent, please punish the third master." ”

Yan Sheng continued to ask, "Then the dog followed?" ”

"Dogs?" The carpenter thief pulled his shrewd eyes and turned around a few times, and some missed the point, Xuanqi was discovered by a dog, and he lost to a dog?

“...... Be. Xuanqi lowered his head, extremely depressed, "The subordinate has sprinkled a lot of odorless powder on his body, but he was still discovered by it." ”

Odorless powder is a drug used by the dark guard to cover up the smell, this white powder sprinkled on the body can make its own breath as if it were nothing, Xuanqi is afraid of rhubarb to sprinkle!

"How long?" Yan Sheng found it interesting.

Xuanqi's head was eager to be buried in his chest, "As soon as I took a look, I was discovered." ”

The carpenter couldn't help but ask, "As one of the best secret guards around the third master, you actually lost to a dog!" ”

Xuan Qi was speechless, and his head was eager to be buried in the soil. He was originally responsible for the last line of defense to protect the safety of his master, but because his master first arrived in the military camp and lacked people, he took him from dark to light to do things by his side. But since he met Rhubarb, he has become more and more deeply suspicious that he is really inferior to a dog......

Xuan Qi felt several angry eyes focus on him, this is his own secret guard brothers who despise him, thinking that he has lost the face of the dark guard. Xuan Qi had no choice but to say aggrievedly, "You are wrong, you are not one of the best secret guards around the third master." ”

After saying this, Xuan Qicai felt that the gaze pressing on him turned away......

The carpenter was speechless, and after the master finished reading the account book, he held a stack of silver tickets and said loudly, "My subordinates are fortunate not to be dishonored." ”

After saying this, he also glanced at Xuanqi, who lost to the dog, proudly.

"Not bad." For his subordinates who have done well, Yan Sheng also does not hesitate to appreciate.

The master praised it, and the wood merchant was even more proud, "The head and young master of the Zhan family in the city were killed, and the Zhan family planned to sell three good shops to chase the murderer, and the subordinates checked it, and these three shops will never lose money after buying." If you buy it all, you need to use no less than 8,000 taels of silver, please show it to the third master. ”

Xuanqi lowered his head and hooked the corners of his mouth. The division of labor among the people under the third master is very clear, and Mu Kai and others, who are responsible for doing business and making money, do not know that the murderer of the Zhan family has been captured by the third master.

Yan Sheng didn't say much, but said, "You don't have to think much about the exhibitor, but if the exhibitor sells the shop, it's accurate." ”

"Yes!" The carpenter walked away with his head held high.

Xuan Qi gloated with a gloating face, the wood merchant, a big fool who thought he was extremely smart, was planted this time, and it was still planted in the hands of Miss Chen. Miss Chen is in the same group as Rhubarb, so isn't he also planted under Rhubarb's claws?

Thinking about it like this, Xuan Qi suddenly felt that he was full of Tai.

Yan Sheng raised his phoenix eyes and glanced at his subordinates whose facial expressions were becoming more and more changeable, "It's funny to lose to a dog?" ”

Xuan Qi was stunned in an instant, and hurriedly reported for duty, "Third master, the old lady of the Zhan family has assigned three shops, and one of them has been given to Miss Chen for three hundred taels, and I am afraid that I will not sell the shop in the short term." ”

The corners of Yan Sheng's eyes were dyed with a smile, this little girl's luck is really good.

The remaining two shops were given to Zhao Shuyan of the Zhao family in the west of the city. The old lady of the Zhan family is Zhao Shuyan's aunt and grandmother, and she entrusts the six-year-old Zhan Hongtu to Zhao Shuyan and Miss Chen as a reward for these three shops. ”

Yan Sheng put down his pen to outline the largest entry of Nishang Cloth Village, and then listened to Xuanqi and continued, "Zhao Shuyan is the uncle of Zhan Hong, and it is reasonable to ask Gu Shang. Miss Chen, the old lady borrowed the mouth of Zhang Xuanqing from Changchun Guan, and said that Miss Chen's mother Qin was the noble person of Zhan Hongtu's fate, so Zhan Hongtu recognized Qin as his stepmother, so today he invited Qin's mother and daughter and Zhao Shuyan to come to the house in the name of recognizing relatives, but in fact, it was for the sake of supporting orphans. ”

Yan Sheng raised his slender eyebrows slightly, this old man has a bit of vision and courage, with the shrewdness of that little girl, the person who brought it out is afraid that it will not be a waste, "Can you find something suspicious?" ”

Xuan Qi was ordered to take people to secretly monitor and protect the Zhan family, but because of the confession that the Mu Torture had interrogated from the green ghost, the Blue Fish Gang planned to rob and steal rich businessmen on a large scale, and scraped together a million taels of silver within a month. Wanted by the imperial court, the Blue Fish Gang dared to be so rampant, how could Yan Sheng let it go.

In today's Ji County, the fat meat with a lot of money and weakness is none other than the Zhan family, and the Qingyu Gang will not let go of this opportunity.

Xuan Qi shook his head, "No, I'm afraid that those people in the Qingyu Gang were scared and hid." ”

Yan Shengfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, "Then use the bait to fish out the thief fish!" ”

Speaking of the Zhan family, Zhao Shuyan entered the door and saw his nephew Zhan Hongtu and Rhubarb sitting together, his smile was deeper, and Rhubarb's eyes were a little more vicious.

I heard Xiaocao telling interesting stories about rhubarb, "Brother Hongtu, rhubarb's favorite food is bones and broth, as long as my mother buys meat and bones, rhubarb won't go out, squatting at the kitchen door waiting to eat......"

Brother? Zhao Shuyan's smile stiffened slightly.

Zhan Hongtu saw Zhao Shuyan come in, got up and bowed, "Hongtu has seen uncle." ”

Uncle, brother?

Zhao Shuyan quietly touched his nephew's head, and after greeting everyone, he sat on the stool next to Rhubarb, adjacent to Xiao Nuan, and asked with a smile, "Grandma plans to let Hongtu recognize Mrs. Qin as his mother-in-law?" ”

Old Madam Zhao, who was smiling, asked, "What does Shuyan think?" ”

"No." Zhao Shuyan said straightly, "My grandson thinks it's more appropriate to think of her as a grandmother." ”

Old Madam Zhao quietly glanced at her daughter-in-law Wu, who couldn't sit still, the eldest granddaughter-in-law Bu, who was watching the play, and the second granddaughter-in-law, Xiao Wu, who was full of reluctance, and understood what Zhao Shuyan meant.

If after she leaves, the Qin family is lower than the Wu family, Xiao Nuan's actions will indeed be hindered, "It's because the old body is not thoughtful." ”

Qin Shi was surprised in his heart, but his face remained unfazed, and he nodded slightly.

Wu strongly objected, "Mother, this can't be helped!" ”

"How not?" Old Madam Zhao asked with a smile, but there was undeniable majesty in her eyes.
