"Mother, why haven't you come to see us for so long, my brothers and sisters and I miss you so much."

The little girl was buried in Wang Qifang's warm arms, and said coquettishly with a small mouth.

"Yes, yes, mother, Maruko is also thinking about it."

Maruko hugged her mother's arm and learned her sister's words in a milky voice.

"Mother misses you too," Wang Qifang patted Xiaoya's back, then took Xiaowanzi into her arms, kissed her daughters' cheeks, and said with joy.

"Mother, you won't be gone for many days, don't come to see us."

Xiaoya raised her little head, looked at Wang Qifang deeply with black grape-like eyes, and asked with a little uneasiness.

"No, after my mother comes back this time, I will never be separated from you again," Wang Qifang Although she didn't know what kind of experience Xiaoya had, she understood very well that because of the bad memory of childhood, the child was very insecure, she rubbed the little girl's small bun in distress, and said: "In the future, our family will live happily together." ”

"And Daddy!"

Brother Xiaoxin dragged the little boy hard, came out of the hot spring pool, wiped the water stains on his face with his fat little paws, and reminded loudly.

"Hehe, Brother Xiaoxin is right, and Dad!"

Wang Qifang let go of her daughter and clapped her hands at her drenched son, "Come, come to my mother." What a bad boy, I haven't seen my mother for so long, don't you want to be a mother. ”

Seeing that her son was dragging the little girl who didn't grow up, Wang Qifang held back the smile in her heart and joked with her son.

"Of course I miss my mother, but, as my father said, I'm a man, I can't cry like my sister and sister, I want to protect the women in the family!"

Brother Xiaoxin pulled Xiao Liang to pounce on Wang Qifang together, leaning on his mother's arms, Brother Xiaoxin patted his chest and said.

"Ah, my son is awesome, he knows how to protect his family at such a young age," Wang Qifang received the look of the little boy asking for help, and asked pretending to be puzzled, "But, son, what are you doing with the little guy?" Kindness? ”

"I, I want to learn from the little girl, the last time someone wanted to arrest me, the little girl flicked his tail and knocked the person down. Mother, I also want to be as good as a little girl, so if there are bad guys to make trouble, I can beat him! ”

As he spoke, Brother Xiaoxin raised his chubby little fist and said with great momentum.

"Catch you?" Wang Qifang paused, and then asked Xiang Xiaoliang, "When did this happen?" Aren't there still a lot of knights on the island? Why does anyone still touch Xiaoxin'er's side? ”

Sons and daughters are her everything, and she will never allow anyone to hurt them.

"It's just two days ago, there were two gangsters who didn't have long eyes, and they didn't know how to avoid the protection of the knights, and ran to the main room, didn't you give an order, there was no summoning, outsiders can't enter the main room at will, so the knights didn't find the two gangsters."

The little guy finally broke free of the little new brother's flesh and claws, and said disapprovingly.

Gangsters?

Wang Qifang narrowed her eyes, and said secretly in her heart, what kind of gangster is so powerful, first he can pass through the reef at sea to Xiaoyao Island, and then avoid the knights with high martial arts?

Also, what are they doing with the little new brother? If they are ordinary gangsters, when they come to the main house, they should attack something valuable, not catch a child who will expose their whereabouts.

No, Wang Qifang shook her head, this is by no means an ordinary gangster, it must be instigated. Who wants to arrest Brother Xiaoxin, Wang Qifang frowned, and said solemnly to Brother Xiaoxin: "Little Girl, I will not be able to come back for half a month, during this period, you must take good care of the children, especially Brother Xiaoxin." These people are deliberately touching the island of escape, and they will not give up until they reach their goal. ”

"No problem, it's on me, but can you talk to Brother Xiaoxin, don't keep holding on to me, he can't learn my skills."

The little girl was really scared by this little ball of meat, and she couldn't take care of the dignity of its dragon, so she asked Wang Qifang for help.

……

Yunlai Inn, second floor.

"Have you asked you to inquire about everything I asked you to inquire about?"

Cui Yunniang changed into the latest style of skirt, sat in front of the jewelry box, and kept trying on jewelry.

"Inquire clearly, Wang Qiniang has a house in Beijing, just in Ping'anfang, where her father and younger brother live," Mama Qin stood behind Cui Yunniang, holding a mirror in her hand, and while replying, she helped her look at the jewelry, "Speaking of Wang Qiniang's father and younger brother, there are really a lot of stories." To say that this Wang family is also a big family, and Master Wang is the son of a long house, why is it so outrageous. ”

"What's so outrageous?"

Cui Yunniang took a red gold and ruby-inlaid hairpin, looked in the mirror, and took it off dissatisfied, and asked casually.

"Ouch, the old slave is embarrassed to say what he did," Mama Qin raised the mirror, and with Cui Yunniang's angle, she smiled exaggeratedly: "...... fell in love with a courtesan in a recreation workshop, spent a thousand taels of silver to redeem it, and swaggered to be a wife at home. ”

"Isn't it, prostitutes can also enter the door?"

"There are even more outrageous," Mama Qin thought of the news that her son inquired about, pursed the corners of her lips, and smiled disdainfully: "When redeeming that courtesan, Master Wang didn't have any money in his hand, and he also gave the boss an IOU of four hundred taels of silver, and the payment was still used with Wang Qiniang's seal." You said, there is such a new thing in the world, Lao Tzu has no money to ransom prostitutes, so he uses his daughter's name to make an IOU, which is really laughing at the dead. ”

"IOUs?" Cui Yunniang finally chose the jewelry, and when she heard this, her heart moved, and she smiled brightly, "Well, it's really not good, if you are blocked by the boss at the door to ask for an account, this Wang Qi Niang's face will be all lost." ”

……

Wang Qifang chatted with the children for a while, until it was time for the little girl to go to Grandma Sun to study, so she reluctantly sent the children back to the room and returned to Ping'an Fang.

Wang Qifang was not in a hurry to see the best father and son, but called Zhao Erlang's family to come and carefully inquire about the recent situation in the shop.

"I've seen the situation at home, let's talk about the things in the shop."

"Yes, madam," Zhao Erlang's family put the family's account book on the kang table, then took out a booklet from his sleeve pocket, and replied: "Madame's shop in Beijing originally had seven, and after you donated the industrial park to the imperial court last month, the 'unique' associated with the industrial park was also taken away by the government, and now there are six left." Two of the grain shops were temporarily closed during the war because there was no grain in stock. A restaurant, business is not bad, but last month, after you and you had an accident, a group of people came to the restaurant to find fault, either that there were insects in the dish, or that the wine was mixed with water, and then it was sent three or five ruffians every day to make trouble at the door of the store.

When Wang Qifang heard this, she raised her hand, "Wait, someone came to make trouble, have you ever asked the pickets of the Confucian Chamber of Commerce?" ”

"I looked for it, but every time the troublemakers left, the pickets arrived."

Wang Qifang nodded, "I know, continue!" ”

"Yes, ma'am." Zhao Erlang's family turned the page and continued to report: "The remaining three shops, there is also a grocery store, a fresh fruit shop, and a medicinal herb shop. The business of these shops has not been good lately, and there are ruffians who come to make trouble every day. In addition, the shop sold out of goods, but could not buy them. It turned out that the workshops that cooperated with us have raised the price of the goods by two or three times, not to mention the price increase, and the quality of the goods is not good, they are all defective products. ”

Wang Qifang interrupted her again and asked, "Do you know who made the ghost?" The Zhao family? Or which enemy? ”

Erlang said, it should be the Zhao family. Later, the business couldn't go on, so Erlang closed all the shops, and then used the previous relationship to do some buying and selling business. When Zhao Erlang's family said this, there was a trace of pride on his face, and his voice couldn't help but raise twice, "Yesterday, Erlang also said that he contacted two major businesses, the contract was signed, and the deposit was also taken, just waiting for the transaction to be over, he could earn the difference of thousands of taels of silver." In this way, we will be able to cover the deficit of the previous month. ”

"Oh, what business?"

Wang Qifang was still more assured of Zhao Erlang's ability, and she asked casually.

"One is a fresh fruit business, and the other is a medicinal herb business, both of which were introduced by friends he had met before, and I heard Erlang say that that person is very reliable and real."

"That's good!"

Wang Qifang nodded, and was about to ask how much money the family had left, when she suddenly heard a shout.

She looked up and said to Zhao Erlang's family, "Did you hear any movement?" I think I hear someone yelling at me. ”

Zhao Erlang's family listened with their ears pricked up, and shook their heads blankly, but when they saw Wang Qifang's frowning, they put down the booklet and said, "Slave and maid, go out and have a look!" ”

Saying that, Zhao Erlang's family went out of the yard, and after a while, he saw her running back out of breath, "Oh no, madam, there is, there is a boss who claims to be Baihualou, blocking the gate, shouting and asking you for an account." ”

"Baihualou? Asking for an account? What kind of mess is this, you explain it to me. ”

Wang Qifang stood up and walked out while listening to Zhao Erlang's explanation.

"You said that my father wrote an IOU of four hundred taels of silver in my name in Baihualou to ransom that courtesan?"

Wang Qifang held her forehead, she was really speechless to this superb father, she stopped and ordered: "Go to the account room to pay four hundred taels of silver, and send that person away." "It's a shame to do something like this, she just wants to spend money to buy a quiet.

"Madam, there is no silver in the account room!"

"What? When I departed, didn't I have five thousand taels of silver in the bookkeeper? Are they all -"

Wang Qifang didn't have the strength to get angry anymore, she turned around and was about to go back to the space to get some silver, she couldn't be scolded by an old bustard blocking the door for four hundred taels of silver.

At this time, Li Jingtian walked in from outside with an iron face, and after he saw Wang Qifang, he hurriedly asked worriedly: "Qi Niang, is there something wrong at home, do you really owe Baihualou silver?" ”

"Why are you here?" Wang Qifang was stunned, but what embarrassed her even more was still behind-

“…… My mother also came
