Chapter 149: Step by Step (4)
?? Ji pawnshop is the business of the Chivalry League, and it is also a rudder in the Qing Garden, and its shopkeeper Li is the manager of the Chivalry League in the Qing Garden.
It's just that Shopkeeper Li wants to engage in the confidential work of the Chivalry League, and his official identity is only the shopkeeper of the store under the name of the Chivalry League, as for his chivalrous identity is confidential, except for the high-level of the Chivalry League, few outsiders know.
And Wang Qifang is one of these few outsiders.
I think that when she decided to come to Qingyuan, she immediately asked Li Jingtian for the contact information of several rudder stewards in Qingyuan and the surrounding area, and even asked Li Jingtian's nameplate as a token, so that she could make full use of the information network of the Xia Ke League and better complete her revenge plan.
Li Jingtian was used to being blackmailed by Wang Qifang. When the two had no relationship before, his chivalrous league had been reduced to the point of being a private detective for Wang Qifang;
Now, they have become the object of marriage talks, and they seem to have taken a lot of Wang Qifang's light in this marriage, so Wang Qifang instructed him to be even more innocent, almost moving his mouth, so he obediently handed over his nameplate.
Alas, I really don't know if this family affair is as beautiful as he imagined?
When he stretched out his hand to hand over the nameplate, Li Jingtian suddenly had this very speechless thought. It's not that he's stingy, it's really that this brand is the Shang Fang Sword of the Chivalry League, whoever holds it can command the Chivalry League.
It was precisely because he knew the importance of the nameplate that Shopkeeper Li was stunned on the spot when he saw the things in Qingyu's hand.
“…… Little lady, has the leader of the alliance arrived, arrived in Qingyuan? ”
After being stunned for a long time, Shopkeeper Li finally found his voice and asked in disbelief.
"Not yet, but the alliance leader will arrive in Qingyuan next month."
Qingyu didn't laugh at him when he saw Shopkeeper Li's reaction. Because she was like him, when Wang Qifang handed over this nameplate to her, she was also startled, and it took a long time to come back to her senses.
"......" Shopkeeper Li heard this, looked at Qingyu deeply, and asked cautiously, "Since the alliance leader has not arrived, where did you get this nameplate?" Say"
Before the word 'say' could be blurted out, his hand moved first, a cold light flashed, and a sharp sword was added to Qingyu's white and tender neck.
"Hehe, Shopkeeper Li is good at kung fu, but, if you ask so, can I think that you are questioning the skills of the alliance leader?" Qingyu's eyes flashed, but she didn't look down at the blade on her neck, she asked with a sneer.
"You? Who are you? Why do you have the nameplate of the Alliance Leader in your hand? ”
Shopkeeper Li remembers very clearly, last year there were traitors in the alliance, the leader of the alliance with the iron protector of the east and west, north and south to visit for a long time to find the eyebrows, at the beginning of the year, the brothers in Jingli even sent a first-level security pigeon passenger, saying that the leader of the alliance was assassinated, and his whereabouts are unknown.
Later, the alliance leader survived this catastrophe without danger, but it is difficult to guarantee that this kind of disaster will not happen again.
Therefore, there is no big mistake in being careful, it is a matter of the secrets of the Chivalry League, and he will never be negligent.
"My name is Qingyu, and I am the apprentice of the chivalrous Chu Feng. This nameplate of the alliance leader was handed over to Mrs. Wang by the alliance leader, and Mrs. Wang is the unmarried lady of our alliance leader, is there any problem with shopkeeper Li. ”
Qingyu saw that Shopkeeper Li was very cautious, so in order not to delay his wife's big event, he had to tell the truth.
"Oh? That's right. Hearing this, Shopkeeper Li breathed a sigh of relief, maybe Wang Qifang and Li Jingtian made a marriage, outsiders know very little, but for the well-informed contact points of the Chivalry League, it is not a secret at all, the brothers in the capital and Qingzhou even provided the portrait of Mrs. Wang and the names of several chivalrous disciples who served beside her.
If he remembers correctly, Wang Qifang has four chivalrous apprentices by his side, one of which is called Qingyu.
"So, Madame Wang sent you to me?"
Shopkeeper Li put down the sword, asked Qingyu to sit down, and asked slowly.
"That's right, Madame has something to ask Shopkeeper Li to help......"
Qingyu came out secretly this time, in order to avoid the people in the palace from finding out, she was busy explaining Wang Qifang's instructions in a long story and short.
"Okay, I understand," Shopkeeper Li nodded, stood up and hugged his fists, "Please ask the little lady to return to Mrs., and my subordinates will definitely send someone to do it immediately." ”
"Well, if there is news, please go to the corner gate of Wang's back street, there is a big tree in front of the door, you can put the news between the second branches."
Qingyu also stood up, arched his hand, and thanked him in advance: "I'm tired."
……
Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, on the fifth day of the first month of November, during this period, Wang Qifang is still playing the timid Miss Mu in the evening garden, and the spies of the Chivalrous League have exerted their super reconnaissance ability and completed several things that Wang Qifang ordered quickly and perfectly.
In the evening, after dinner, Wang Qifang opened a palm-sized red brocade box, and after opening it, a pair of golden bracelets were revealed. She was about to take out the bracelet to take a look, when the aster outside reported that Wang Wuniang was here.
"Sister, I've wrapped everything, take a look"
Wang Qifang pushed the brocade box she had just taken out in front of Wang Yufang, and reminded softly, "The ninth sister only returned it yesterday, oh, this box is still matched by the ninth sister." ”
"I'll see"
Wang Yufang's attention was all on the brocade box at the moment, and she didn't care about what Wang Qifang said.
Gently opening the box, Wang Yufang took out the pair of bracelets with great pity, and after touching the hollow pattern and red sapphire on the bracelet, she smiled with satisfaction, "Oh, what a beautiful bracelet." ”
Saying that, Wang Yufang put the bracelet on her wrist very naturally, held it in front of her eyes, looked at the light repeatedly, and admired while watching, "Tsk, the color is really good, the pattern is also exquisite, and this gem is so beautiful."
"Hehe, my sister is also very beautiful, so she deserves this bracelet."
Wang Qifang's eyes were also firmly fixed on the bracelet on Wang Yufang's wrist, and she said with some reluctance, "Originally, seeing that my sister likes it so much, I should give this bracelet to my sister." It's just that my sister also knows that although she has to be named Mrs. Yipin, it is just a false title, and there is nothing beneficial. After leaving, the food and clothing given by the Zhao family sounds like a lot, but in Liaodong, what is Liaodong, my sister must have heard of it, how can I have the ability to go to Liaodong as a weak woman? And-"
"Okay, I know, I'll borrow this bracelet for a day, and I'll return it to you after the plum feast, don't want your hum, look at your stingy appearance, it's really boring."
Wang Yufang listened to Wang Qifang's chatter for a long time, which meant nothing more than that her Wang Qifang's conditions were not good, and there were only a few pieces of jewelry left to support the façade, so she was troubled to borrow it and pay it back.
"Sister, don't be angry, sister can't help it."
Wang Qifang was counted down by Wang Yufang, and she also felt that she was not very generous, so she smiled wryly.
In a blink of an eye, the next day, Wang Yufang changed into a freshly made scarlet skirt, combed a delicate high bun, and dotted a gorgeous plum blossom makeup between her eyebrows.
Sitting in front of the dressing mirror, she took pictures left and right for a long time, then nodded with satisfaction, put on the red gold bracelet borrowed from Wang Qifang, Ying Ying stood up, stretched her arms, and the girls covered her with a big wool coat, put on a bright red cloak, and then hugged the hand stove, and then walked out of the house with confidence.
On the other side, Wang Jiufang also dressed up carefully for a long time, changed into new clothes, put on the golden flower of the group, the hairpin of the four butterflies flying golden steps, put on the Guanyin pocket, and came to the outside of the house in Zheng's satisfied eyes.
In the evening garden, Qingyu returned the news he had found out to Wang Qifang one by one, Wang Qifang heard this, sat on the big kang, looked out through the crack in the open window, and finally said with some puzzlement, "By the way, Mama, this plum banquet in Lu Mansion is really so important, Wu Niang and Jiu Niang are so important, desperately pull down the bottom to ask me to borrow jewelry, but also to overwhelm the group?" ”
"Hehe, Qi Niang, don't you know, this plum banquet in Lu Mansion is a famous blind date meeting, and the people who attended are all unmarried Xiao Langjun and Xiao Niang, and these people are basically the families and rich of Qingyuan."
Mama Zhao brought a cup of hot tea, handed it to Wang Qifang as she spoke, and when she saw that Wang Qifang heard the words 'unmarried', she raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Of course, there are also widows or divorced people, as long as there is no other half, you can participate." ”
"Oh, no wonder Wu Niang has to borrow my jewelry."
Wang Yufang has been widowed for two years, and she can be removed from her deceased husband in a few months.
"However, I can understand that Wang Yufang is in a hurry, what about Wang Jiufang, hasn't she already locked Li Jingtian?"
Wang Qifang was still a little puzzled, drank two sips of hot tea, and said to herself.
"Qi Niang, you forgot, didn't you invite Grandma Lu to come to Qingyuan to enjoy the plum blossoms. She is not only the sister of Li Mengzhu, but also the next door relative of Lu Mansion, Wang Jiufang wants to befriend her, so she naturally wants to go to Lu Mansion. ”
It's still Mama Zhao who is old and sophisticated, and she thinks about it more thoroughly, and she almost guesses Wang Jiufang's heart.
That's right, Wang Jiufang said that she wanted to come to the plum banquet when she said that she wanted to 'borrow' jewelry, but she just wanted to occupy the pretense of the group flower Jintian. Later, I heard that Lu Shao's grandmother, the eldest granddaughter-in-law of the Lu Mansion in Qingzhou, was also coming back for the banquet, so I changed my mind - well, if she can become best friends with Li Jingniang, wouldn't her relationship with her husband's family be more harmonious after he gets married?
The plan is very good, Wang Jiufang followed her sister-in-law Wang Jinjue's newlywed daughter Lu Shi also came to Li Jingniang, but unfortunately, before she could successfully implement her plan, Li Jingniang blurted out a sentence that made Lu's face change suddenly-
"Oh, third sister, why are you wearing the jewelry of Mrs. Zhongyi and Mrs. Wang?"
The voice was shrill and full of disbelief, attracting the attention of the men and women attending the plum banquet......
