"Don't laugh at me, big shopkeeper. I don't know much, and there are only a few ways to make money that I can think of. ”

Qin Yining held the light blue Nasha wide sleeve in one hand, held the pot in his plain hand, poured the turquoise tea soup into the carp lotus tea cup, and then brought it to the shopkeeper Zhongda.

The shopkeeper Zhong took it with flattered hands and thanked him.

Qin Yining smiled, picked up the cat's butterfly fan and shook it twice, the hair hanging down from the sideburns naughtily stuck to the pink cheeks, and was pinned behind her ears at will.

"In the end, the properties of our Zhaoyun Division are all registered in the royal family, the emperor and the queen act in an orderly manner, and after several inquiries, I can now conclude that the emperor does have the intention of plundering the Zhaoyun Division, and the Dingguo Mansion was destroyed so happily that day, which is not without the emperor's desire to include the Zhaoyun Division in the internal treasury, but because of the face, and because of my father's identity and those previous rumors, now the emperor is not very good at acting, but I think, he will not extinguish this thought, taking advantage of this time The situation is still quite stable, Let's hurry up and collect money. ”

The shopkeeper of Zhong Da heard the song and knew the taste, and immediately nodded: "I understand the meaning of the owner, you can rest assured, the extra money we earn will be leveled in the accounts of Zhaoyun Division, and no one will find out about the money." We have made a lot of money by using short-term large loans, and we have publicized it everywhere, but it is still called hatred among our peers, and this kind of thing must be kept secret. ”

"That's good." Qin Yining smiled, shook the fan for a while, looked beyond the half-open window lattice, and looked at the few little girls who were sitting on the steps under the verandah opposite and playing "catchers".

The innocent and cheerful laughter of the girls was so contagious that the smiles on her face couldn't help but deepen.

"When I was a child, my adoptive mother also coaxed me to play with this, take a few apricot pits, sew a small sandbag, catch one for the first time, catch two for the second time, and catch three for the third time...... When I grabbed a handful, I threw up the apricot kernels and picked them up with the back of my hand, when I had small hands, I always didn't have much to pick up my adoptive mother, and I secretly thought that when I grew up, I must compare my adoptive mother, but unfortunately, I haven't grown up yet, she has gone. ”

The shopkeeper Zhong sighed when he heard this, "The adoptive mother of the owner must be a very gentle and kind person. ”

"Yes, she is a very good person, but the life of a good person in this world is always bitter. Born in troubled times, there are so many displaced people, but you see, even when the Great Zhou soldiers came to the city, the city of Kyoto was still drunk and drunk.

"The emperor has a stupid head, he has no other skills, he is a good hand at killing Zhongliang, he can't see the people outside, but he can't see which courtier steals his limelight, there is such an emperor, and corrupt officials are also assured of bold nonsense."

Qin Yining shook his head and said, "Don't look at it as peaceful now, but if the peace talks are successful, what will be saved is only the glory and wealth of some people, and the people should still suffer." ”

When the shopkeeper Zhong heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.

He is well-informed and experienced, although he has not really lived a hard life in person like Qin Yining, but under the continuous battle, it is also true that the farther towns are empty and starving. In addition, there has been little rain since the beginning of summer this year, and there are already signs of drought in many places, and the people's lives are even more miserable.

"It's a pity that I'm incapable." Qin Yining shook his head and smiled: "Now I don't have the ability to 'help the world' at all." Sometimes I even want to ask God to open my eyes, and quickly take away the faint king and the demon queen. ”

"Alas! Isn't it, it's better to expect him to be born sooner rather than later! It is estimated that the people outside also think the same, but let's not say this outside, it is better to be careful, there are three storytellers who have been arrested before, and they are stunned to say that the content of what they said is anti-hearted. ”

"If you do it yourself, no one is allowed to say it, the emperor wants the people to be fools." Qin Yining shook his head and sighed, "I felt it today, so I nagged you here." Now that the time is good, let's make a sum of money, and no matter what we want to do in the future, we can have some capital, and we don't have to be stretched. ”

"The proprietor can rest assured. The old decay has no other skills, but these brains still have them. ”

Qin Yining nodded, stood up and said, "I can naturally trust the ability of the big shopkeeper. While it's still early, I'm going to go out of town for a walk. ”

"I'll send you."

"Please stay."

……

Qin Yining and the shopkeeper Zhong were polite, said goodbye and left the Zhong family, and when they arrived outside the gate, they were served by Jiyun and put on a snow-white light gauze hat.

Bingtang had already been waiting at the door for a long time with the jujube red horse that Huzi had given her, and the "white cloud" tied to the side saw Qin Yining go out, and immediately raised his neck and snorted.

Qin Yining chuckled, stepped forward to untie the reins of "Baiyun", stroked the smooth silver-white mane on its neck, and said with a smile: "Waiting? ”

"Baiyun" rubbed her cheek affectionately.

Jiyun smiled and brought his yellow horse, "The girl is more gentle to a horse than to our prince, if the prince sees it, he may not be jealous, the next time the girl sees the prince, she will give her a little more smile." ”

Qin Yining's face turned red, and he said angrily: "You girl, shouldn't Xiao Zhixi specially arrange for you to come to my side to nag about this all day long." ”

Jiyun sneered: "The girl clearly misses the prince, and she doesn't blame me for nagging, since you have that string of red bean bracelets, you haven't worn the bracelets and bracelets next to you." I also hugged Erbai all day long at home, and I went to wash Erbai's plum blossom yarn in person, didn't I miss the prince? ”

"Bad girl, I'll drive you back and won't take you for a walk." Qin Yining's face turned red and smacked her.

Bingtang and Jiyun winked their eyebrows and laughed.

Qin Yining turned over lightly and jumped on the horse's back, "Let's go out of the city for a while today and then go back to the house, the old lady wants to liquidate the corruption of the comprador mother-in-law under the kitchen, and it will be a bit of trouble when I go back early." ”

Mrs. Liu, who was a comprador in the big kitchen, was shoddy, and secretly moved the rice grain in the house to her home, and was caught by the auspiciousness of the old lady's side that day and returned to the old lady.

When the old lady found out, she immediately made a noise, and pulled the Sun, the second lady and the third wife to settle the affairs in the house for three consecutive days, not only caught Mrs. Liu, but also turned up a lot of bad things about sesame grains, Qin Yining watched at home for two days, and felt a headache, so she had to hide out today.

"What if the old lady asks? The old lady also said that you are not allowed to ride a horse, because you don't have the appearance of a lady. Although Jiyun said this, he jumped on the yellow horse very neatly.

Qin Yining lifted the light veil on the hat and said with a smile, "Everything depends on what others say, so we don't have to live." How many people have said behind my back that I am not, and how ugly they are, if I care about that, I should have hanged myself by the neck. If they are used to seeing it, they will watch it, and if they are not used to it, they can not watch it, and they will live their own lives, and whoever cares who has a sore tendon. ”

Jiyun sneered, urged him to come forward immediately, and accompanied Qin Yining with Bingtang left and right, and chose a secluded road to go out of the city.

When you get out of the outer city of Kyoto City, there is a bright scenery in front of you, the blue sky is like a wash, the grass is lush, although the weather is hot, but the three of them wear hats on their heads to shade the sun, and the horses run with the wind, blowing the white yarn on the hat and the yarn skirt on the body, there is an indescribable cool and refreshing feeling.

The master and servant galloped wildly along a tree-lined path beside the official road for a while, and then dismounted to rest for a while, leading the horses to find a water source.

This year, there was little rain, and several streams have dried up, leaving only a shallow layer of muddy water and hot stones in the original stream. After walking on the rocks for a while, I found a spring with bubbling water.

Qin Yining, Bingtang and Jiyun first filled the water bladder with water, and then let the three horses drink water.

The three of them stood still in the shade of the trees, looking at the golden and dazzling official road not far away that was exposed to the sun.

Bingtang couldn't help but sigh worriedly: "It's not good to go on in such a drought, I'm afraid that the harvest on the Zhuangzi will be affected." ”

"Not only in Zhuangzi, but I heard that there is a drought in many places outside now, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that there will be a drought."

Qin Yining took another sip of water and stepped forward to hang the water bladder on the saddle.

Jiyun slowly put down the water bladder, lifted the white veil on the hat, jumped on a big tree with a light jump, and put his hand on the pergola to look in the direction of the official road.

Qin Yining said curiously: "What's the matter?" ”

Jiyun raised his left hand slightly to silence them.

Qin Yining and Bingtang immediately felt that something was wrong, standing under the big tree, following Jiyun's gaze, from a distance, they seemed to see some smoke and dust on the road in the distance.

"A lot of people! Girl, there are many, many people running over here! ”

Qin Yining's heart jumped, and he hurriedly said, "Take a closer look, who is it?" Is it military or civilian? Did you ride a horse? ”

As Qin Yining spoke, he also stretched his neck to take a closer look, but the terrain was low-lying and his vision was blocked, and he only saw a piece of smoke and dust getting bigger and bigger for a long time.

"It's not a soldier, it's not a soldier, it's not a ...... Girl, let's hide quickly, and in a moment they'll be coming. ”

Jiyun jumped off the tree and pulled Qin Yining back to hide.

Rock Candy also hurriedly led the horse and followed.

The three of them carefully hid their horses first, then returned a little, crouched behind the bushes and peeked out.

At this time, the group of people had already approached, and when they looked closely, they turned out to be a large group of people in disarray!

There were more than 1,000 people, including men and women, old and young, each carrying a burden, his hair was scattered, his clothes were dirty, and his face was full of panic, and they were all running in the direction of Kyoto in a panic.

An old man ran slowly and fell to the ground, and before his children could help him, he was trampled several times by the people who arrived behind.

There are also children who have run away crying and crying loudly with their parents in their mouths.

Such a panicked and chaotic scene is like a demon chasing behind it!

Qin Yining turned around with a pale face, sat down on the ground, his head buzzed, and muttered, "This is ...... Could it be that Da Zhou is calling again? Xiao Zhixi...... Isn't it a peace talk, yes, yes, the assassination of the Tatars in the end is not only a gift to me and my father, but also a pretext for him to go to war! ”
