For a while, the atmosphere was silent and awkward, and the only sound that could be heard in my ears was the whistling wind.

"No, you're not right!"

As if remembering something, Zhao Xiuqin got up, frowned and said loudly: "If this business is only done by our family, then there is really nothing wrong with what you say, but this business is not just our family, isn't there still that Shengguo Gongzi, Zhao Gongzi, he also invested, this dog still depends on the owner, Zhao Gongzi's business, who else dares to disrupt the situation?" ”

Father Fang didn't speak, as if he hadn't heard Zhao Xiuqin's words at all, his gaze went straight over her and landed in the distance.

"It's back!"

Hearing this, Zhao Xiuqin was stunned, turned her head to look, and there was a bright carriage slowly coming over this side at the end of her sight, and the sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of the mountain village, stepping on the afterglow of the slanting sun and coming slowly.

A head sticks out of the carriage window, and the smile in the eyebrows and eyes is not who Fang Tian is.

Zhao Xiuqin hurriedly took Fang's father to greet the general, and as soon as Fang Tian jumped off the carriage, she rushed over and hugged her: "When I went out early this morning, I said that I would come back for dinner at noon, but when you waited until the afternoon, I didn't see a single figure, and I waited until the evening, so I saw your figure, and I came back so late, do you know that my parents are very worried about you?" ”

Fang Tian gently patted Zhao Xiuqin's back, and said flatteredly: "I went to the nobleman's mansion today to sell perfumes, and I came and went to Zhao Gongzi's mansion, so I went home a little late, I knew that my father and mother at home were worried, so I won't talk so much nonsense in Zhao Gongzi's mansion." ”

Fang Tian remembered that he and Zhao Qi had several disputes in the Zhao family's villa over the issue of profit sharing, and couldn't help but want to help his forehead.

"It's good if you come back, just remember it next time, you don't want to think about you as a yellow flower girl who hasn't been out of the cabinet, going home too late will always be remembered by the family, and remember to come back early next time you go out."

Zhao Xiuqin saw her daughter return safely, the whole person was very happy, the farmer family is not as like to care about someone's identity and occupation like a big family, she turned to the coachman with a smile: "Thank you for sending my daughter back, it just so happens that the family has already cooked a meal, do you want to go in and have a light meal before leaving?" ”

The coachman was flattered and waved his hand again and again: "Thank you for your kindness, but now it's getting dark, and I'm afraid I won't be able to go back if I don't hurry up." ”

Since the coachman refused the invitation to enter the door for dinner so bluntly, and it was indeed not early, Zhao Xiuqin did not stay long, and after greeting two or three words, she watched the coachman leave.

The family of three stepped on the last afterglow of the sunset and returned to their house, seeing that the oil lamp had been lit, Lin Xiao sat obediently on the steps in front of the door and waited, and the food on the table did not move.

Lin Xiao looked at Fang Tian from a distance, and pounced, among this big family, his favorite person was Fang Tian, and the people who liked this also knew, when she looked down and saw the undisguised joy in his bright eyes, her heart couldn't help but soften into a puddle of water.

"I haven't seen you for a day, Ah Xiao is missing me?"

Lin Xiao smiled so hard that her fangs were gone: "My sister said that she would come back at noon, but she didn't come back until now, but it really scared us all, fortunately, my sister came back safely, and when my sister goes out again next time, you must remember to bring me with you." ”

His words were innocent, and Fang Tian couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard it, he was just a child, if he really met someone when he went out, it wasn't certain who would protect whom at that time.

But Lin Xiao was indeed kind-hearted, and Fang Tian didn't want to refute his face, so he agreed with a smile.

Zhao Xiuqin poured a cup of warm tea and handed it to Fang Tian, and asked, "You went out today and said that you were going to sell perfumes and meet a certain noble lady from the capital, how about it, have you ever sold your perfume?" ”

Fang Tian took a sip of water and slowed down, with a shallow smile on the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, and said, "Mother, your question is too untechnical, and you don't want to think about how smart your daughter is, how can she miss what she wants to accomplish." ”

Hearing Fang Tian's words, and seeing the undisguised smile at the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, Zhao Xiuqin was stupid, and knew that this business must have been done, so she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said: "Then I'm not worried about you, after all, how difficult it is to do this fragrant powder and rouge business, and you have always been raised in the boudoir and don't go out often, let alone the daughter's family who has never been in contact with business, so it's strange not to worry about you." ”

Lin Xiao listened to them on the side, although he couldn't understand it, but Fang Tian's boast that he could still understand the meaning, and said with a smile: "Sister is the most smart and capable." ”

Fang Tian patted his head lightly: "You kid talks as if you have honey in your mouth, but you like it." ”

Since Fang Tian had already said that the perfume had been successfully sold, the stone hanging on Zhao Xiuqin's heart naturally put down some, but there was another stone still hanging: "How much silver did the perfume sell?" The cost of buying those orchids at the beginning was not less than 100 taels, and if you sold them for less than 100 taels, then our family would still lose money. ”

Fang Tian smiled and raised his index finger for Zhao Xiuqin to guess.

"Ten taels?"

"No, guess a little more."

"A hundred taels of silver?"

Fang Tian still shook his head and said the amount in Zhao Xiuqin's widening eyes.

Zhao Xiuqin clutched her chest and almost didn't catch her breath, but fortunately, Father Fang sat next to her, saw that something was wrong, and patted her on the back.

Zhao Xiuqin's expression was still the same as before: "Such a small bottle of things was sold for a high price of 1,000 taels, oh my God, this is really amazing, that lady is really generous." ”

You must know that Zhao Xiuqin has lived for most of her life, and the most money she has seen is only one hundred taels.

Father Fang snorted, as if he was very disgusted: "Look at you like this, isn't it just a thousand taels of silver, as for it?" ”

"What you said is good, I don't know why I didn't even take out a tenth of a thousand taels when I was framed by Wang Yingrou's little slut."

Zhao Xiuqin raised her eyebrows and glared.

Father Fang was unconvinced, and was about to argue, when he suddenly heard Fang Tian speak: "Now this thousand taels of silver is indeed a large amount for our family, but I believe that our family will definitely be able to get rich in the future, don't say a thousand taels of silver at that time, even if it is a thousand taels of gold, it will be taken out." ”

What Fang Tian said was even more beautiful, and Zhao Xiuqin couldn't help but giggle when she heard it.

"After I sold the perfume at the nobleman's place today, I also went to Zhao Gongzi's house by the way, after all, this is the first money earned in the business, I thought that he was a partner, and he should always know about it, so I went to Zhao's house."

As Fang Tian spoke, he flipped out two pieces of paper and a key and placed them on Table Mountain.

Zhao Xiuqin was illiterate, looking at the style of the two pieces of paper and the small characters on them, she could probably guess what it was, pushed Daddy Fang, and said, "You read it." ”

That's the only thing that Daddy Fang can hold his head high, and he reads the words on the two pieces of paper one by one very vigorously.

Zhao Xiuqin's face turned white when she heard this, and she didn't know whether she was scared or happy, so she grabbed the key in her hand and refused to let go: "This is the title deed and the house deed, where did you get these two things, don't steal them from Zhao Gongzi." ”

When she said that, Zhao Xiuqin herself also felt that something was wrong, she slapped herself, frowned and said, "Look at my mouth, where is this." ”

Father Fang also agreed: "Where are you talking about, where can our girl be the one who can do this kind of thing, but girl, I also think it's very strange, this seems to be the deed and title deed of the Qin family's rouge shop in the town, where did you get it?" ”

Fang Tian didn't hide it, and told all the things he got acquainted with Zhao Qi and the Qin family: "Mrs. Qin has been living in Zhao Gongzi's mansion for the past few days, and she happened to be bumped into by me today, she was worried about the entangled things, I just wanted to buy the shop and do business in the future, so I did a favor and bought her house and shop." ”

Fang Tian paused, and added: "In fact, Zhao Gongzi bought it, and the money was paid by him, I was carrying a thousand taels of silver in my arms at the time, thinking that I couldn't let Zhao Gongzi break the bank if I had money, Zhao Gongzi said that both parties to the partnership should pay, so I didn't accept the silver I wanted to give him." ”

When Zhao Xiuqin heard this, her impression of Zhao Qi became better and better: "This Zhao Gongzi really deserves to be a noble family from the capital, and it is not at all different from those gentlemen in the town who have a little money and seem to be able to fly to the sky. ”

Fang Tian went out early this morning, he didn't have time to eat breakfast, and when he looked up and saw Zhao Qi at Zhao's family at noon, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed, where did he dare to eat in a big mouthful, chewed and swallowed slowly after eating two or three bites of food, then stopped chopsticks, and now when he returned home, he was very hungry.

handed over the title deed and key to Zhao Xiuqin, and started eating.

Zhao Xiuqin looked at her daughter as if she was hungry, and her face was helpless: "I can understand that you bought a shop and prepared to do an orchid business, but why did you buy someone's house together?" ”

Fang Tian had food in his mouth, and said vaguely: "If I open a shop in the town to do business, I can't come and go in an ox cart every day in the future, how unsafe it is, and it's very troublesome, it's better to buy a house in the town, it will be more convenient in the future." ”

Fang Tian was right, Zhao Xiuqin weighed it carefully, then didn't say anything more, took the title deed, and turned around and entered the back room with the key.

Today really made Fang Tian uncomfortable with hunger, as the saying goes, people are iron rice, steel is steel, and they are hungry and panicked, Fang Tian didn't eat well twice, and he was so uncomfortable that he panicked.

Halfway through the meal, the girl felt that something was not right: "Hey, where did my brother go?" ”

In the past, Fang just made it at sunrise and rested at sunset, and life has always been very regular, I don't know why, it's dark today, and he still hasn't come back.

Obviously, something was wrong, Fang Tian and Zhao Xiuqin, who were both attentive, frowned.

Zhao Xiuqin stood under the light at the door, stared in the direction of the village entrance and sighed again and again: "I don't know what is going on today, why the two children go out early and return late, it's really worrying." Finally, the girl came back, why hasn't my son come back yet, something must have happened, right? ”

Father Fang stood on the other side of the door, closest to Zhao Xiuqin, and could clearly hear Zhao Xiuqin's muttering words, glared at her and said, "A big man, what's wrong with going home later, is it possible that people can still rob people?" ”

Zhao Xiuqin was stunned, and her brows tightened even more: "Don't say it, there has really been a robbery of men before!" ”
