Chapter 3: The Betrothal (8)

"You ......" Miss Bian Er was scolded by the strange Qingjun man who stopped suddenly, and she was ashamed and annoyed for a while. I was speechless.

"Who are you, mind our business?" The maid standing next to the young lady saw that the young lady was weak and hurriedly stood up.

The chief ...... angrily, "The steward surnamed Zhao knows that He Shiyi has ordered a lot of jewelry in the store, and he knows that he can't offend the gold owner, so he naturally tries his best to calm people."

"Sold to Miss Pan. There was tension on both sides, and an old and calm voice came. The curtain behind the shop was lifted, and a fat old man with a gray beard and a stocky man walked out, holding a tray in his hand, which contained bracelets that had been remade for them.

"Owner. "The man saw the old man as if he saw a savior.

It turns out that this is the boss of "Hengman Pearl". Presumably, he has been standing behind the curtain for a long time and listening. Qingqian didn't expect that the boss of "Heng Manzhu" would be such an upright old man. "This ......" Steward Zhao looked at Miss Bian Er in a daze, embarrassed for a while.

"Humph! Although the maid was very unconvinced, but seeing that there were many people here, even the owner of the store had opened his mouth, and the pearl hairpin could not be obtained. threw the pearl hairpin that was originally in his hand into the hands of the guy.

"Let's go." "Miss Xu is Bian Er also thinks it's not interesting to stay like this. led the maid out unwillingly.

"Eh, Miss Bian Er, we still have ...... in our store" Steward Zhao is still unwilling and wants to export to keep it. It seems that because of the presence of everyone, they dare not be too public.

The guy in front of the cabinet handed the hairpin to Miss Pan, and Miss Pan took the hairpin and walked to He Wet Clothes and Qingqian, and gave a blessing; "Concubine Jian thanked the two."

"Miss is serious. Qing Qian hurried over to help each other.

Miss Pan and Qing Qian said a few words of thanks, and then took the hairpin and left.

After what happened just now, the view of 'Heng Manchu Pearl' has changed greatly. After receiving the restructured bracelet, I couldn't help but chat with the owner of the store a few more words, and after a few answers, I felt that this old man was upright, and I felt more and more that this trip was worthwhile.

Out of the 'Heng Man Pearl', the two walked slowly along Huiju Road.

"Did what I just do scare you?" "He Shiyi has been silent since the 'Miss Pan' left, and suddenly spoke out at this time.

"Sort of." In Qingqian's opinion, He Shiyi's behavior was indeed very unexpected.

When He Shiyi heard Qingqian's words, he turned his head and only smiled faintly.

"However, I can't get used to the girl's appearance." What if that Miss Pan is a woman in the Qinglou? The woman in the Qinglou is not necessarily inferior...... "Looking at He Wet Clothes in a shallow manner, she was in a low mood and relieved.

"Hmm. ”

 "That Miss Bian Er is also too ......"

"Hmm. ”

He wet clothes walked near the shallow side, responding to the woman's kind and small words.

On the noisy street, the tram passes slowly. There was a young man chasing the tram, who couldn't wait for the tram to stop, jumped up, saw He Shiyi and they were looking at him, and smiled back. What a wanton face! Looking back, in the past 28 years, I have rarely done anything wanton. As he gets older, he understands the principle of planning and then acting, he has always been calm and self-controlled, and he can control his emotions very well.

For all the things that have been experienced, what happened today is just a trivial matter. However, because of that similar identity, in the end, he still lost control.

Luojia Road Qi House

The ancient Luojia Road is more noisy than the prosperity of Huiju Road. The bluestone pavement, which can only accommodate a car to pass through, is lined with old-fashioned shops, which is not as good as the new Western-style style of Huiju Road. The ornaments of the wine and tea shops are long or short, scattered in the streets and alleys. Outside the shop, there are large baskets picked up by small traders and hawkers. Inside are their own fruits and vegetables, which are sold or exchanged. The guys in the shop felt that the vendors' baskets were covering the façade of their houses, so they would come out and bang people, so the vendors kept saying good things and ...... with smiling faces. The short street market seems to be a matter of every inch of land.

Still, at the southerly intersection of the market, there is a long road that can accommodate a car. The slanting street front, stretching inward, turning the uphill corner, you can't see what lies ahead.

The Qi family lives in an old-fashioned mansion.

Carved beams and painted buildings, pavilion railings are naturally not a problem. I heard that this mansion was built when the great-grandparents of the Qi family were built, and the plaque of the mansion was given by a prince.

The Qi family has been scholarly for generations, and Qi Maosen's father gave up writing to engage in business, but the business was mediocre. When he arrived at Qi Maosen's house, he set up a business with the military department. However, in two or three years, it was rumored that the Qi family already had a fortune of tens of thousands of dollars, and they were rich enough to rival the country's assets. It's a pity that the head of the Qi family was born weak and died young. left only one son, a weak wife and younger brother to support the family business.

The Qi family is low-key, and the relationship with the military department is inextricably linked, and there is inevitably a hint of mystery in Jinyuan.

Those who have good deeds have nothing to do and fabricate a lot of anecdotes about the Qi family. As; The housewife of the Qi family is good friends with senior officials of the military department. In order to curry favor with the military department, Miss Qi married a senior staff member of the military department as a concubine before she could finish her life. Fortunately, the Qi family has always been kind to others, and the housewife is also very tough. These are just idle stories for bored people after dinner, and they affect the Qi family for the substance. Although the chief has passed away for more than ten years, the Qi family is still as rich as ever.

Although the sun is shining brightly in July, the weather is not as hot as it was some time ago. It was almost noon, and at this hour, the ladies and ladies in the house were taking a nap. The people also found a place to rest, and there was silence in the house.

A touch of purple clothes passed through the hidden flowers and trees, and after passing the corridor, he went straight to the back door of the corner.

Touch the door with your bare hands and gently push it. The small door creaked, and a large opening was opened. Then, the thread is not opened.

"Little Miss, why are you here?" The servant Lao He passed by inadvertently and saw his young lady standing at the corner gate in the big sun.

"Uncle He, this door has not always been closed. Why is it locked up today? Qi Ya stood by the door, looking casual, but her eyes were paying attention to Lao He's reaction.

"Oh! The key to the concierge is not with me, can you go out through the main entrance, miss? Lao He had already walked in front of Qi Ya, looking puzzled. Why didn't the young lady go through the main gate, but she had to go through the corner gate?

"Huh? Didn't you always manage the keys before? Qi Ya looked at Lao He and didn't believe it.

"A few days ago, the eldest young master said that the backstreet was messy, and ordered someone to lock several side doors in the backyard, along with the corner doors, and the key was going to go." The housekeeper was also surprised, for no reason, what does the eldest young master want for the door key in this backyard?

"Don't you have any spare here?" Qi Ya already knew it in her heart, but she still had a glimmer of hope.

"Oh, the butler may have it there, you wait a minute." Lao He didn't doubt him, and hurriedly went to the front to get it.
