Just then, there was a knock on the box door.

It was the shopkeeper who personally delivered the top Maojian tea.

The maid took it and poured a cup for each of them.

Seeing that he also had a share, Qingzheng was quite surprised, and immediately thanked Zhao Yueqiu: "Thank you for the girl's tea." ”

"If you borrow the child's private room, you always have to give one or two in return." Zhao Yueqiu is not good at owing favors.

When the words fell, Qingzheng was noncommittal, smiled lightly, and accepted this cup of tea in return.

In the middle of the ring, Zhao Yueqiu took off the hat and put it aside, holding the teacup and taking a sip, making the originally dry lips a little moisturized.

Seeing this, Qing Zheng was slightly stunned, the look of surprise in his eyes was very obvious, although he had already guessed that the appearance under the hood must be beautiful, but he never thought that it would be so stunning.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the country is captivating.

It's just that in an instant, after noticing Chi An's eyebrows frowning slightly, obviously dissatisfied with his offense, Qing Zheng quickly put away his gaffe, sat on the side, looked at his nose, nose, mouth, and mouth with concern, and finally calmed the throbbing in his heart.

At this time, Zhao Yueqiu put down the teacup, didn't pay attention to his eyes, and asked: "Could it be that in Tancheng, only those who have obtained the token can have the opportunity to watch the beautiful scenery of a city?" ”

"Definitely." Qing Zheng explained slowly: "The flower of Tancheng, everyone can see it, this token is just a representative of the government, and it can be used to occupy the best place." ”

"You know, there are two excellent viewing places in Tancheng, one is the north city wall, which can see the Tanyuan garden in half a mile inside and outside the city, and the other is a five-story building located in the center of Tancheng, which can see the flowers in the city."

After Qingzheng finished speaking, Zhao Yueqiu also understood.

Although this flower can be seen by everyone, the scenery is different depending on the location.

And the government stepped forward to take down all the special positions for special purposes.

Qing Zheng said again: "There are tens of thousands of people in Tancheng, and every time the epiphany blooms, the number of people will skyrocket, and I heard that the number of people has reached 170,000 at the most, but there are many people, and the number of places given by the government is only 2,000 tokens every year." ”

"That's a rare thing to say."

With this glance, Qing Zheng smiled lightly: "Fortunately, this rule has existed for several years, and countless poems are stored in the Epiphany Pavilion, and most of the people are Jiang Lang's talents, but it is not as difficult as before." ”

Zhao Yueqiu sighed with emotion: "Childe knows a lot. ”

"I've been here for a long time, and I've learned these things naturally."

It's rare to meet a person who fits his eyes, and Qingzheng's words are more than usual: "Girl, don't look at the many people inside and outside the Epiphany Pavilion, but in fact, there are very few people who can be selected, and there can be ten people every day, and it will be the sky." ”

After hearing this, Zhao Yueqiu thought it was true, since there were only one or two thousand tokens every year, how could it be so easy to get?

Then, she said: "However, since then, there must be a lot of pen and ink used in the Epiphany Pavilion every day. ”

"There's a charge." Qing Zheng blinked, with an inexplicable sense of chivalry: "Anyone who enters the museum to challenge will receive one or two pieces of silver." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yueqiu couldn't help laughing: "This Tancheng City Lord has a good mind suitable for business. ”

In the face of today's posture, there must be a lot of people who challenge every year, and they may have an income of tens of thousands of silver.

To do this, not to mention the cost of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, even if you count the 2,000 tokens, it is more than enough.

Qing Zheng smiled: "The girl is right, this Tancheng City Lord's surname is Xie, he has been in office for seven or eight years, and he made this Epiphany Pavilion, and I heard that he has also won His Majesty's commendation for this." ”

"Seven or eight years, and still hasn't been recalled?" Zhao Yueqiu was a little surprised, although she had never heard about the affairs of the court, but she should have a lot of common sense.

For example, the position of the lord of the city in various places is the 'release' of the imperial court, which means training, and when the merit and seniority are enough, he will be recalled to the imperial capital and promoted and rewarded.

Generally speaking, it takes three or four years.

But this Xie City Lord has been in one place for seven or eight years......

Hearing this, Qing Zheng of course guessed what Zhao Yueqiu was thinking, and the meaning of promotion in his smile became more and more intense: "The girl doesn't know, although the merits of this City Lord Xie are enough, but he is not very tactful, he has offended many people in the court, and he has also been disrespectful to His Majesty...... In this life, he has no possibility of promotion, and he may have to die of old age in Tancheng. ”

"Is there such an inside story?"

Zhao Yueqiu was speechless, and couldn't help but raise her hand to stroke her eyebrows, but immediately after, she realized another thing.

Even if this is true, it should not be something that ordinary people should know.

The identity of the person in front of you......

Zhao Yueqiu was surprised, but she didn't ask more.

Seeing that her face was different, Qingzheng also knew that he had said too much, so he chuckled to hide his embarrassment and did not continue to say more about this matter.

After about half an hour, the number of people in the Epiphany Pavilion was reduced by nearly half, and it was no longer surrounded like before, at least there was a way to walk in.

Seeing this, Qing Zheng got up and said slowly: "Girl, in about half an hour, the outside of the Epiphany Pavilion will be quiet, I still have something to take the first step, the girl is at her own convenience." ”

"Childe isn't involved?"

"Not involved." Qing Zheng smiled casually: "I've already seen it anyway, so let's leave the opportunity to others." ”

Zhao Yueqiu got up and blessed her body slightly: "Son, go slowly." ”

Soon, Qingzheng disappeared in the box.

As soon as he left, the little maid who had been tense for a long time relaxed, couldn't help patting her chest, and let out a long breath of turbidity: "This son knows a lot. ”

"Hmm." Zhao Yueqiu replied and said with a smile: "Not only does he know a lot, but he is also quite smart. ”

"Oh? It's just that Pingshui meets, how can the girl see it? The maid scratched the back of her head, dazed: "Could it be that the girl is born with a discerning eye?" ”

"You girl, your words are getting more and more out of character." Zhao Yueqiu stretched out her hand and knocked on the maid's eyebrows.

At this moment, Chi An glanced at Zhao Yueqiu and said, "This person is a smart and humble gentleman, if I guess correctly, he should be surnamed Xie." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yueqiu was noncommittal.

And so, another half hour passed.

A few people went downstairs and entered the Epiphany Pavilion.

It didn't take long for Zhao Yueqiu, who came out, to pick up the token at a stall.

Three days later, Qian Lao arrived as promised.

Knowing that the head of the Qian family came from afar, the best private room in the Qian inn was vacated and did not welcome guests.

The moment he saw Zhao Yueqiu, Qian Lao snorted coldly, and knocked on the ground with a cane: "I finally found you." ”

After hearing this, Zhao Yueqiu was helpless, and knew that he was worried about himself, so he lowered his eyes and saluted: "I've seen Master." ”

"Get up." Qian Lao looked at her with a cold face, first looked her up and down, and then said: "Isn't it just a man, who can actually force you to fly away alone?" ”

"Master, I'm ......" Zhao Yueqiu stood like a child who had made a mistake.

She rarely shows such a vulnerable posture in front of others.

However, Qian Lao is different, she entered the business road, and it was led by Qian Lao, she was able to get to this point, of which Qian Lao accounted for more than half of the credit.

A teacher for one day, a father for life, not to mention a full five years.

Seeing her like this, Elder Qian let out a long sigh: "There is no need for this, there is no need for this, there is no fate between you and the East Palace, but what you do is not just for one person." ”

"Master, I won't tell you a secret." Zhao Yueqiu looked very calm: "From the very beginning, what I did was to help Her Highness well, and I hope that one day I can become her virtuous helper and stand side by side with her." ”

It's a pity that her wish was completely shattered.

That person personally brushed her down.

"You unassuming thing!" Qian rolled his eyes angrily, and couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth: "You have one-third of the rights of my Qian family, what man can't get it, but you want to hang yourself on a tree, isn't it stupid?!" ”

Zhao Yueqiu was scolded a little unrelievable.

Even when she was the least capable and got into trouble, Qian Lao never said such a thing to her.

Seeing that she was stunned, Qian Lao knew that she did not repent, but he was still arrogant: "What's more, you are still the daughter of the prime minister, and your father is in the middle of the day in the court, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you are the proud daughter of the sky, but why can't you think about it so much?" Are you really going to leave anything at bay? ”

Prince Donggong, what kind of person is that?

The means are vicious, the vision is long-term, the ability is outstanding, and the heart is as hard as iron.

It's not surprising to fall in love with such people.

But if you want to die or live for such a person, it is really a big joke.

Zhao Yueqiu paused, and had to explain: "I'm just going out to relax, and it's not like I won't go back to Beijing for the rest of my life, you are still my master." ”

She will never shirk her responsibilities for what she should do.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Yueqiu's heart moved: "Master, you are looking for me on this trip, is there anything else besides teaching me......

"There's one thing I'd like to ask for your opinion."

Qian Lao took a deep breath and spoke very simply: "Some things have happened in my Qian family recently, and several children who have the ability to take over the position of head of the family are destined to miss the position of head of the family for various reasons, I plan to hand over the Qian family to you, how about it?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yueqiu's mind was far better than others, and she couldn't help but be shocked: "How can this work?" Although I am your apprentice, but in the end I am a person of the opposite sex, and the Qian family was created by you, so I am afraid that it will not be appropriate. ”

The Qian family, the richest merchant in the world, is as rich as the country.

To take over such a behemoth, you must not only have extraordinary abilities and means, but also know how to retreat.

Otherwise, there is a high risk that it will collapse overnight......

"I know, but I'm old, and I don't have much time left, and I don't have the ability to develop a successor."

Speaking of this, Qian Lao looked at Zhao Yueqiu fixedly, and then said: "So, think about it, no one is more suitable than you, you are of elegant birth, and you have a deep friendship with the East Palace, with you in the middle of the royal family and the Qian family, the Qian family can survive for a long time." ”
