Chapter 716: Tell
Qiu Feishan also understood the meaning of his words, and said with a smile: "With the prince so dedicated to the people, we can rest assured." I came to meet the prince today, because everyone will be begging for a life on the same realm in the future, so we want to get to know each other. Second, there is also a matter of turning to the prince for help. ”
As she spoke, Qiu Feishan stretched out her hand back.
When the maid saw it, she reluctantly took out a wooden box from her arms and handed it to Qiu Feishan.
Qiu Feishan stood up, put the wooden box on the table in front of Xiao Xiao with both hands, and saluted: "Lord Wang, today the little girl wants to ask the Lord Wang, and by the way, she will also help us with the four links when we are suppressing bandits." Because of the rampant banditry, the Sitong has been robbed of goods out of the city for a long time, causing great economic losses, and our Sitong is almost unable to drive.
"I know that my requirements are a bit difficult for strong people, but Nian has always been an enthusiastic merchant for the country, and he has also made certain contributions to the Pingnan Army, and I also ask the prince to help."
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows and looked at the wooden box on the table.
Qiu Feishan opened the wooden box, and inside was a stack of silver tickets, and the denomination on the face was one thousand taels of silver.
"These are all silver tickets that can be redeemed at sight, and there are a hundred of them in all. Although the Pingnan army under the rule of the prince has never taken a stitch from the people, but the suppression of bandits is a big deal, after all, people have to eat horses and chew, and the brothers cannot be allowed to maintain the safety of the people on an empty stomach.
"These little intentions are just to let the brothers eat some thin porridge and ask the prince to laugh. Oh, by the way, in addition, the IOU between the previous Sitong number and your army has also been written off, and the soldiers protect their families and defend the country, and we and other useless businessmen should donate some military salaries to the big guys, which should also be shared. ”
Qiu Feishan is still elegant and gentle, her words are polite, and her posture is low, but looking at her expression, she does not show any groveling, as if nobility is something engraved in her bones and blood. It makes people feel that such a begging attitude is not annoying, but rather appreciated.
Xiao Xiao closed the wooden box with a snap, and pretended to mutter: "This, by the way, it is not difficult to protect the freight team of the Sitong number...... Well, this king will agree to your request, I can't imagine that Sitong is such a loyal merchant for the country, this king will make this matter clear to the saint, and give a reward to Sitong. ”
Qiu Feishan laughed and saluted, "Thank you, Lord Wang!" ”
"The shopkeeper of Qiuda doesn't have to be so polite, the military and civilians should be a family." Xiao Xiao smiled heartily and played officially.
The two of them sat down again and began to chat.
Qiu Feishan complimented Xiao Xiao's once brilliant military exploits. He is humble and humble, which is the duty of a soldier.
Xiao Xiao praised Sitong's business for being extensive, and Qiu Feishan humbly said that it was the shadow of his ancestors.
Qiu Feishan praised the righteous deeds of the owl during the disaster relief, and said that it was for the service of the people.
Xiao Xiao also praised Qiu Feishan for taking care of the Sitong number in an orderly manner at a young age, and Qiu Feishan in turn said that it was not as bothered by the prince to take care of an entire army.
The people who followed on both sides were already amazed.
They couldn't imagine that there were so many words to praise people in the world, and they couldn't imagine that the other party's face was so thick.
Huzi: What a brazen woman, incomparable to our princess, she is so slippery!
Handmaiden: What a brazen scoundrel! It's just a market splash, and he can still be a prince, is God blind?
What Mu Jinghu was thinking about was how to describe the big shopkeeper of the Sitong with Qin Yining after he went back. His expressive skills are slightly weaker......
The conversation ended in a pleasant atmosphere, and when Qiu Feishan got up to say goodbye, it had been upgraded to a righteous business for the country and the people in Xiao Xiao's words.
When Qiu Feishan left the barracks, the bright moon was already hanging high.
The early spring night was still cold, and the cold moonlight cast a soft glow on her brocade cloak.
Qiu Feishan walked in front as usual, but the little maid beside her said indignantly: "Girl! Why do you want to give the surname of the silver! He's a bandit, a bandit! He is a mud leg, how can he be so condescending to a girl! ”
"Tourmaline. Shut up. ”
Qiu Feishan scolded gently, and Bi Ying hurriedly shut up, lowering her head and not daring to say more.
Mr. Liu asked, "Girl." You must have a plan for the next step, right? ”
What he didn't ask was that the Sitong had not fallen so much since it was a business. The losses caused in the old capital are huge, and they are afraid that they will be punished by the owner sooner or later after they go back.
Unexpectedly, such a big thing happened, Qiu Feishan could still calm down, not only did she fight thoroughly with Xiao Xiao and the Pingnan Army, but also took the initiative to send silver to buy the protection of the Pingnan Army.
If this matter is known to the old club, the consequences will be unimaginable!
Qiu Feishan smiled and said lightly: "You don't have to worry, in fact, I still have other plans." When I went out earlier, my old boss told me something else. I think we're almost done. ”
"Oh? What is the plan? ”
Qiu Feishan looked at Mr. Liu with a smile.
Mr. Liu immediately lowered his head, not daring to ask any more questions.
However, the master has lost so much silver, and he can still be so happy, thinking that this matter should be more important than silver.
Or maybe she just deliberately wanted to pay this amount of money?
*
It was already midnight when Mu Jinghu returned to the Qin Mansion. wanted to tell Qin Yining about Qiu Feishan, but he was afraid of disturbing Qin Yining's rest, so he had to give up.
In fact, Qin Yining didn't sleep well at night, last night the two children had a little low-grade fever, she took turns with rock sugar and the nurse to take care of the night, and the child didn't have a fever until dawn, so she could take a nap with peace of mind.
Because of his psychological concern for Brother Zhao and Brother Han, Qin Yining only slept for an hour before getting up again to check on their situation. Hearing that the maidservant girl returned to Mu Jinghu to ask to see her, Qin Yining was still a little surprised.
Mu Jinghu would not come to her to ask for a meeting easily. Since he begged Mu Jinghu to protect the house, Mu Jinghu rarely goes out to walk around, he is a little withdrawn, and he doesn't like to walk around the house, he likes to find a spacious and uninhabited place to practice swords, or he goes to the study in the outer courtyard to spend a day eating tea and reading.
I took the initiative to find it today, thinking that there was something in the barracks last night.
Qin Yining rubbed his sore forehead and said busily, "Please come in." ”
After a while, Mu Jinghu came quickly, and when he saw the dark circles under Qin Yining's eyes, he couldn't help but ask bluntly, "You didn't sleep well last night?" ”
"Yes, the two children have a low-grade fever, and I haven't slept with them."
Hearing that it was a matter of two little babies, Mu Jinghu couldn't help but be anxious, he was only a two-month-old child, and his body was small and soft.
"And now? Has the fever subsided? I still have some medicines from my uncle, can you see if they can use them? ”
Mu Jinghu was so anxious, Qin Yining couldn't help but be grateful.
Mu Jinghu is a decent and pure person, without so many twists and turns, and has a good character, and he is true to his word. She saved the day several times, all of which were a big favor from Mu Jinghu's help. Although Tianjizi always does some irritating things, Mu Jinghu is kind to them.
Qin Yining said gratefully: "Don't worry, they are much better, this time the child will no longer burn, and the nurse will carry them to sleep." ”
Mu Jinghu relaxed at this time, nodded and said, "That's good." Xiao Zhixi is also thinking about you in the barracks, if he knows that the child is sick, I am afraid that he will be distracted. By the way, the ones I went to deliver last night, Xiao Zhixi liked them very much, and touched several handfuls of the baggage, but he hadn't opened them in front of me yet, so he thought he was going to look at them quietly by himself. ”
Mu Jinghu said such embarrassing words in such a straightforward tone, he was just because he was too straightforward, and he didn't have other thoughts, so Qin Yining had no choice but to cough dryly and nodded, "Thank you." ”
"You're welcome." Mu Jinghu said, "By the way, there is one more thing, I saw the big shopkeeper of the Sitong number last night." ”
When Qin Yining heard this, he immediately looked solemn, "Where did you see you?" What kind of person is he? ”
"It was a woman, tall and tall, wearing men's clothes, I seem to have seen it next to Governor Yang, she took two people to the barracks to see Xiao Zhixi, and bribed him."
Mu Jinghu explained the events of last night in detail one by one, and finally said: "I see that woman is not a fuel-efficient lamp, she has suffered such a big loss, and she can still give gifts to Xiao Zhixi without changing her face, and she didn't mention the matter of Xiao Zhixi robbing her of the goods of the Sitong at all, but also said that she would pay the silver and beg Xiao Zhixi to help her protect the caravan." She's not simple, and she has a heart, so you all have to keep a little heart. ”
Qin Yining nodded, "I see, thank you." ”
"You're welcome. I mean, um, you have to pay attention to a little bit as well. ”
Qin Yining blinked incomprehensibly, "What?" ”
Mu Jinghu coughed and said: "Actually, I shouldn't say this, but I think that Qiu Da shopkeeper is doing well, she has suffered such a big loss, and she can still send silver to Xiao Zhixi, maybe she looks at Xiao Zhixi, you know at home that you are a housekeeper with children, don't work hard and not pay attention, and ask someone to stab you in the back." ”
When Qin Yining heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised and grateful, and joked: "Aren't you a good brother of Xiao Zhixi, people say that it is extremely normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, how come he came to you, and he knew to remind me to be more vigilant?" ”
Mu Jinghu shook his head and said, "It's not like that. You are different from Xiao Zhixi. Xiao Zhixi didn't give you the same stable life as an ordinary woman, does he still have the face to ask you to tolerate his three wives and four concubines like an ordinary woman? You have suffered so much for him, and you have almost asked someone to kill him several times, you don't blame him, Hui Da Zhou didn't reconcile with him to give him face, if he sees a different beauty and can't control himself, it's what he did wrong. ”
