Ming Yi teased Xia Huanfeng for why he didn't get up, he wanted to see his red face and red ears, but of course he couldn't do it.

Xia Huanfeng will have a child's feelings, and smiled generously: "Thank you Mingyi for your concern, the water is long, and you don't dare to indulge in the gentle township, what's more, Hong Yi said that you want to bring your friends here today, I think you must not be waiting for idlers, how dare you slack off." ”

Mingyi didn't want to continue joking, and said, "I did make an appointment with two friends here today." One has been to Rongyifang in your West Market, but you probably avoided Hong Yi that day, and you didn't see anyone. It's the flower thief who rescued Kwai Niang on the hairpin flower day in Xinglu Courtyard, and is wanted in Chang'an City. The other one you recognize is Xing Qing. ”

Xia Huanfeng was quite interested in Cheng Yan: "How is the kung fu of that flower thief brother?" Can there be a sect? ”

"Martial arts are okay, light skills are powerful. I didn't join the gang, but I worshipped the teacher, don't think about recruiting him into the gang first, I'll do it again. "Mingyi is reluctant to cheapen Lianshan's easy-to-use helper to the Shangguan Gang, his mouth and pretty face still have to make money for the gleaning fang, not to mention, her purpose is to bring the beginning of the time in, but this matter has to be considered in the long run.

"Well, you can make an idea. It was only a matter of time before the Shangguan gang entered Chang'an, and it was no longer too late to recruit talents. Xia Huanfeng walked out of Yayan and came in with a dinner plate, "You haven't eaten in the morning, drink some freshly boiled fish and mutton soup, steamed cakes with vegetarian ingredients, remove the oil, and drink more comfortably." ”

Mingyi was not polite to him, picked up the big bowl and blew and drank a big sip, sprinkled some pepper on it to remove the smell, the entrance was delicious, and the soup had ground rice noodles, and the consistency was just right.

After a mouthful, he was comfortable, and continued: "The flower thief will come to my gleaning workshop to help after a while, and he came today because he helped me save some jewels there, and I want to ask Phantom Feng to help me invest in the Shangguan gang's quality shop, on the one hand, it is safer, and on the other hand, it is convenient and profitable." ”

Xia Huanfeng pondered for a while and asked, "Do you trust me?" ”

"Naturally believe in you, I will hand over this net worth to you, not because of the gang, but because of you. First, you and I do have a deed, and we are good partners for success, and second, you and Hong Yi are like sisters, and you are like my family. Mingyi said very sincerely, she is not a gullible person, but if she believes it, she has no doubts.

Xia Huanfeng nodded: "Okay, you will leave these jewels with me as collateral, I will pay for you, and I will make you money through my means here, only a little more." I don't take any profit from you, mainly because I have always felt that the quality shop business of the Shangguan gang is a bit problematic, and I don't have the energy to ask about it yet, and something will happen sooner or later in the future. Your net worth, it is safer to stay in Chang'an. ”

Ming Yi sighed: "You still do a quality shop business in private? ”

Xia Huanfeng said with a smile: "There are many ways to make money, such as selling Chang'an's materials to the countries of the Western Regions through caravans, and transporting goods from various countries to Chang'an, it is not for nothing that I can call for wind and rain in the West City." Most of the black market in Chang'an is my people. ”

Ming Yi shook his head and gave a thumbs up: "Then it seems that Gong Junhao and Shangguan's Yinliang have no cubs in your place." ”

Xia Huanfeng didn't respond immediately, he also picked up a piece of vegetarian steamed cake and took a bite: "I am a person who eats vegetarian steamed cakes and doesn't feel tasteless, money comes and goes, life does not bring death and does not bring it." I like to spend my money on what I need, such as recruiting talent, or making friends that will definitely help me get into the official position in the future. ”

Ming Yi looked at him seriously, and couldn't help but raise the bar: "Money is still useful, such as buying jewelry and jade for Hong Yi." ”

Xia Huanfeng was choked by this, and his face was recognized: "If those things can give her a sense of peace of mind, it will be worth the amount of money." ”

Ming Yi was stuffed with a mouthful of dog food, rolled his eyes, lowered his head and continued to drink the soup.

With a bowl in his stomach, Ming Yi had to start getting down to business, before that, he had to figure out how much Xia Huanfeng knew about Xing Qing.

"How did you get acquainted with Xing Qing?"

Xia Huanfeng recalled: "On the day of the opening of Rongyi Fang in my West City, Mother Yin from Xinglu Courtyard came to congratulate and brought two singers and a pianist to perform live for my guests. The pianist is Xing Qing, he only plays behind the stage, and does not show up, I feel that he is very charming, so he left his mind, and asked him to stay after the guest left to drink and talk about music, but the conversation was very agreeable. ”

"Mother Yin? Are you familiar with her? Ming Yi frowned, Mother Yin is really mysterious, manipulating the two largest ** in Chang'an City, looking like she doesn't want money, and Xia Huanfeng has the same thing, could it be that she is also the secret son of a big gang?

Xia Huanfeng shook his head: "I'm not familiar with her, but my guests are basically guests from her Xinglu Courtyard, so I also respect her." Maybe that's why she's here. ”

Mingyi didn't know whether to tell the story of the Zhujun Sect, but with his own ability, he couldn't see through Yin's mother's true identity, so it was better to use Xia Huanfeng's ears and eyes: "I hired two Xiaolang in the Zhujun Workshop, have you heard of it?" ”

Xia Huanfeng raised his eyebrows: "Of course, some people are talking about the story of Ming Niangzi hiding two male pets at home." I knew you had other uses, so I didn't take it seriously. It's this Zhujun Sect, I still want to find a day to explore, I heard that you can't enter without a dignitary. ”

Ming Yi briefly explained the situation in the workshop he saw, and then said: "When I hired Xiaolang, I would recognize the handwriting of the owner of the workshop by chance, which was Yin's mother herself. ”

Xia Huanfeng was really shocked: "It's her?" Then I am afraid that there is a force behind her, and this workshop is not something that ordinary people can open. ”

"yes, I want to know who she is. Take care of me a lot, saying that he has an old relationship with my grandfather, but I don't think it's that simple. ”

"Okay, I'll find a way to ask."

Ming Yi solved this matter and said back to Xing Qing: "Do you know Xing Qing's life experience?" ”

"He kept his mouth shut, and I didn't want to ask too much." Xia Huanfeng replied, "I have a close relationship with him, mainly thinking of him as a pretentious and high-minded man, who wants to hide in the Qinglou, and must have his troubles. And my dignified man, dressed as a female skirt hairpin, can also be said to be in sympathy with him. ”

"Does he know who you are?" Ming Yi wanted to know why Xing Qing wanted to get close to Xia Huanfeng.

"He knew that I had martial arts, and he didn't ask anything else."

Ming Yi said to himself: "It may be that he saw that you have a wide range of friends and wants to get close to you to explore the news on the rivers and lakes, and secondly, he sees that you are strong in martial arts, and it will be useful to make friends with you." ”

Xia Huanfeng's eyes showed a look of confusion: "I heard you say that he is so clever, isn't he an ordinary pianist, and you know his origin?" ”

Ming Yi said slowly: "His internal strength and skills, I'm afraid you have never seen it." ”
