Chapter Twenty-Nine: Am I Smart?
On the Liujia Mansion, in a courtyard full of flowers, Liu Qingqing sometimes looked at the sky, and sometimes looked at the door, although his expression was calm, but there was a trace of anxiety in his eyes.
"Miss, don't worry, I'll have news soon," a sword-wielding middle-aged woman in a cyan dress comforted her.
Liu Qingqing puffed out her mouth and said in annoyance: "Sister Mei, you haven't used that kind of mosquito coil, if you have used it, you will know how good it is, you don't have to endure the smoke of wormwood, just light a plate, there are no mosquitoes annoying all night, and you don't have to worry about a few big bags on your body the next day, you said that the sun is about to go down, and it will be dark, I haven't got the mosquito coil yet, can I not be in a hurry."
"But it's useless to be anxious, so many people have been sent out, and the custodian lady can light mosquito coils at night" Jiang Mei shook her head with a smile on her face.
She almost watched Liu Qingqing grow up, don't look at Liu Qingqing's indifferent appearance in front of people, to put it bluntly, she is just a fifteen-year-old girl, and she will show her temperament in this grade in front of acquaintances.
Thinking that there was no mosquito coil at night, Liu Qingqing felt uncomfortable and couldn't calm down, so she got up and said, "Let's go, Sister Mei, let's go directly to Linbian Village!" ”
Jiang Mei couldn't cry or laugh, is it necessary to run in person for a small mosquito coil? It's great to send someone to go, not to mention that after so many years, you can't use it all night? I don't know what the so-called mosquito coil is good about......
Funny, Jiang Mei took Liu Qingqing's hand and said: "If Miss is in a hurry, why don't I continue to teach you swordsmanship, and soon the next person will be able to bring back the mosquito coils you want, after all, the sun is about to set, even if you run to bring back mosquito coils, it's too late."
"Wait, wait, when are you going to go" Liu Qingqing stomped her feet, and then sat down at the stone table in frustration, holding her chin with one hand and muttering: "Swordsmanship, I've been practicing for almost ten years, and I'm about to integrate Sister Mei's swordsmanship into my instincts, but what's the use?" If you don't practice physical exercises, even if you practice swordsmanship to the realm of supernatural skills, it's not like you can't catch a single move in the face of a real martial artist."
"Whether it's useful or not, it's always good to practice more, if you can get the physical exercises in the future, every time you understand the swordsmanship in depth, the power of the swordsmanship will increase exponentially, how can you say it's useless," Jiang Mei persuaded bitterly.
Liu Qingqing was even more depressed, puffing out his mouth and said depressedly: "It's a pity, if I can get silver thread grass or ink leopard skin, I can use it as a stepping stone, go to Linjiang City to join the reserve of the ironclad army, and then I will be able to learn the real physical exercises of martial artists, but unfortunately, it actually fell into the hands of the Tian family, Sister Mei, you don't know, how angry Tian Lin has been in the past few days, I heard that his family has contacted Linjiang City, and soon Tian Lin will officially become the reserve of the ironclad army to learn the physical exercises, so angry"
"Qingqing is good, then Tian Lin is not to mention becoming a reserve of the Iron Armor Army, even if he really becomes a member of the Iron Army, it is not a big deal, Qingqing, you are so beautiful, marry a powerful warrior in the future, he Tian Lin is not too embarrassed in front of you" Jiang Mei touched Liu Qingqing's head and comforted.
Speaking of getting married, Liu Qingqing's face turned slightly red, but these words not only did not comfort her, but made her even more depressed, so she simply lay on the stone table and said leisurely: "How can a powerful martial artist take a fancy to me, the improvement of strength is accompanied by the increase of lifespan, even if I am beautiful?" It is impossible for people to find a person who can't live a life with themselves, not to mention that such a person pays more attention to inheritance, and the wife he is looking for must be an equally powerful martial artist, so that the child born can be better in martial arts, hey, if you don't become a martial artist, you can only be the bottom of this world, don't look at Aoyagi Town, the three of us are very majestic, but who can recognize us when we go out, it's not that we have to grovel......"
Jiang Mei was speechless about this, after all, what Liu Qingqing said was the truth, the real martial artists were high, and the three major families in Qingliu Town were just ants in the eyes of others, even if it was just the most ordinary person in the ironclad army in Linjiang City, the Liu family could not afford to provoke.
At this time, a maid hurriedly came to the gate of the courtyard, probably walking too quickly, her face was red and her forehead was sweating, and she took a breath before she spoke: "Miss, I have heard, the people of Linbian Village sell mosquito coils in the town, and they will soon buy it back, and Miss will be able to use mosquito coils at night."
"Really? That's great! Hearing this, Liu Qingqing's depressed mood suddenly improved, and she stood up and said in surprise.
Jiang Mei shook her head and smiled, Liu Qingqing in her eyes was really a child who had not grown up, and when she heard that she could use mosquito coils tonight, it was like a child who got a favorite toy.
But at this time, after Liu Qingqing's surprise, he rolled his eyes and said: "I won't wait, go, take me directly, I want to get the mosquito coil as soon as possible to rest assured."
It's no wonder that Liu Qingqing is anxious, after all, when anyone gets up every day and gets up to be bitten by mosquitoes for a few packs, there is something that can solve this trouble, I'm afraid it's almost the same as her.
Seeing this, Jiang Mei had no choice but to arrange for someone to go out with Liu Qingqing.
Soon Liu Qingqing and his entourage came to the place where the villagers of Linbian Village sold mosquito coils, when they saw the mosquito coils in the box, Liu Qingqing's eyes suddenly lit up, and his heart was so beautiful mosquito coils, not to mention that there were patterns on it, which was much better than the shoddy mosquito coils used yesterday!
Can't wait to come to a stall, Liu Qingqing asked, "How do you sell this mosquito coil?" ”
Luosang was stunned for a moment, looked up, but Liu Qingqing, who was surrounded by a group of people, came to his stall, such a big lady is not something he can afford, and he stammered in a worried mood: "If you go back to Miss, this mosquito coil is a copper plate and a plate."
After speaking, Lausanne looked at Liu Qingqing's face cautiously, for fear of causing the other party to be unhappy because the price was too expensive.
Hearing the price reported by Lausanne, Liu Qingqing blinked, and subconsciously said, "So cheap? ”
In Liu Qingqing's consciousness, the mosquito coil with such a good effect, and it is so beautiful, why do you have to have dozens of copper plates on a plate? However, I didn't expect it to be so cheap.
With a flash of inspiration in her head, Liu Qingqing looked at Jiang Mei beside her and said, "Sister Mei, I remember that our family has more than ten shops in the town, right?" It seems that there are many shops in other towns and Linjiang City, right? ”
"Yes, Miss, what are you asking for?" Jiang Mei nodded and said suspiciously.
With a chuckle, Liu Qingqing pointed to the mosquito coil and said to Luosang: "Big man, listen up, I want all your mosquito coils, give me all the clear, and then help send them to Liu's house."
Speaking of this, Liu Qingqing didn't wait for the stunned Luosang to say anything, looked at Jiang Mei on the side and said, "Sister Mei, wait a minute, you give him money"
Jiang Mei reacted, and hurriedly said: "Miss, what are you doing, no matter how good the mosquito coil is, we can't use it so much."
"You don't understand this, Sister Mei, I admit that you are better than me, but you can't compare to me in other things, you think, I know this kind of thing, mosquito coils are good, if we all come over, and then increase the price and share it to sell, wouldn't it bring us a lot of profits to the Liu family? How's that, I'm smart, right? ”
Hearing this, Jiang Mei was stunned, and so did her heart, so she let Liu Qingqing go.
Indeed, although Jiang Mei's martial arts skills are good, she really can't compare to Liu Qingqing when it comes to business, this is a matter of talent and brain, and she can't be envied.
Liu Qingqing's words did not shy away from Luosang and them, even if they clearly told the other party that I was going to take your things to make money, Luosang and the others could only stare dryly, not that they agreed or disagreed, but that the things could not be sold for a price or even sold in their hands, and people could sell for a large price if they had a market and connections, this is the truth.
The matter of mosquito coils was settled, Liu Qingqing glanced at the surrounding villagers, and asked Luosang who was sorting out mosquito coils curiously: "By the way, who is that?" Why didn't I come with you? ”
"Who?" Lausanne looked up and asked blankly.
"It's the good-looking person who was with you that day," Liu Qingqing replied as she looked around.
Lausanne understood, and said with a smile: "Miss is asking about Engong, right?" Oh, where is he?"
As he spoke, Lausanne turned his head and pointed to Liu Xiu in the window position of the teahouse behind him.
Seeing Liu Xiu, Liu Qingqing asked curiously: "You call him Engong?" Isn't he from your Linbian Village? By the way, what's his name? ”
"Engong saved my life, and he is the benefactor of our whole village, of course he is called Engong, Engong is not from our Linbian Village, he said that his name is Liu Xiu" Luosang scratched his head and replied.
In the face of a character like Liu Qingqing, he was a little stressed in his heart, and his head was not very bright and he was not good at lying, so he simply answered all the questions asked by Liu Qingqing.
"Not from Linbian Village? But he is the benefactor of everyone in Linbian Village? Liu Xiu? What a strange name......"
After getting Lausanne's answer, Liu Qingqing muttered to herself, seeing Liu Xiu over there, she was idle anyway, and she was a little curious about Liu Xiu's origin, so she simply walked over there.
At this time, by the window of the teahouse, Liu Xiu looked at the street outside, and there seemed to be no focus in his eyes.
The storyteller has left, the teahouse is in a commotion, and from the storyteller's mouth, Liu Xiu learns that there is no concept of a country in this world, but a powerful warrior who controls everything.
Although this is a bit unbelievable to Liu Xiu, it is a fact, and the people around him do not talk about the slightest topic about the country's continuation.
When Liu Qingqing sold all their mosquito coils in Lausanne outside, Liu Xiu was thinking about things in his heart and didn't pay attention to it.
Liu Xiu, who had keen senses, felt that someone was walking directly towards him, and unexpectedly found that it was Liu Qingqing, but he didn't care, still looking out the window.
"What are you looking at?" Liu Qingqing came to Liu Xiu and asked curiously, and then glanced out the window, there was nothing special about people coming and going.
