Chapter 035 was originally an old man

"Brother, look, it's this box"

Wang Qifang turned around and returned to her house, pretending to go back to the inner room to get something, but in fact, she took out the treasure box from the space, gently touched the mechanism, opened the box, and then turned the side of the opening to Wang Jinyu, pointing to the pearls and gems full of pearls and gems inside, and said, "At that time, after Mama Zhao handed over the box to me, I somehow opened it." It's just that there are only these jewels left to me by my mother, and there is no treasure map. ”

"Oh, I'll take a look," Wang Jinyu's eyes lit up when he saw the legendary treasure box, especially when he saw his sister skillfully open the mechanism, after opening the box, the joy in his eyes was even stronger, but after hearing his sister's words, he pulled the box to his front with some disbelief, poured out the jewels inside, and looked up and down, "There are no other mechanisms in this box?" ”

"Yes," Wang Qifang saw that the eldest brother was so eager, so she pointed to the drawer at the bottom of the box and said, "The bottom of the box is empty, and there is a mezzanine inside." In the mezzanine were the shops and Zhuangzi that my mother had bought for me in the capital, as well as a silver ticket of several thousand taels of silver, and nothing else. ”

There is no such thing as a treasure map.

When Wang Jinyu heard this, he picked at the bottom of the box with his fingers, found a gap, and hurriedly pushed it with his fingernails, pulling open the drawer at the bottom of the box, and there were only a few yellowed pieces of paper inside.

"How so?" Wang Jinyu put the things away in disappointment, then pushed the drawer and handed the box back to Wang Qifang, "I think that at the beginning, after I knew this secret, I kept looking for this box in the things left by my mother, and I didn't find it for a long time." At that time, I mistakenly thought that I was greedy by the Zheng family, but I didn't know where she hid her things, so I resigned myself to guarding the Wang family, looking for an opportunity to continue looking for this box......

Later, it was Mama Zhao who accidentally mentioned that you opened a box left by my mother, and I knew that I had found the wrong direction, so I hurriedly finished dealing with the affairs of the Wang family, and then hurried to the capital, but I didn't expect that there was still no whereabouts of the treasure map."

Wang Jinyu muttered softly, as if to explain why he stayed in Wang's house, and as if to tell his disappointment.

"Brother, is that treasure map important to you?" Wang Qifang saw Wang Jinyu's distraction, a little worried, and hurriedly said: "If my brother has something important to do, but he is short of silver, I still have ——"

Wang Jinyu waved his hand, interrupted his sister's words, and said with a wry smile: "Hehe, I don't lack silver, but that treasure has a record of the cause of the fall of the previous dynasty, which is very important to us." ”

"We?"

Wang Qifang listened to Wang Jinyu's words and had questions about him, 'we'? She even had an illusion, well, the eldest brother wouldn't have joined some organization, how could she listen to his tone, so similar to the righteous men of the Shenma Tiandi Society and the Red Flower Society mentioned in the film and television works? If you don't care about the country at every turn, and if you don't have a big business at every turn, is Wang Jinyu still connected with the imperial family of the former dynasty in exile?

"Forget it, since there is still no whereabouts of the treasure map, let's think of other ways for my brother," Wang Jinyu saw her sister twisting her eyebrows and looking worried, so she smiled hard and pretended not to care.

"Well, brother, we are brother and sister, if you have anything that your sister needs to do, just say," Wang Qifang put the jewelry back in the box, and then closed the lid, "By the way, next month's spring festival, is my brother ready, do you need me to help you take care of one or two?" ”

"Hehe, you can rest assured about Enke's affairs, it's just a formality, my official position has already been decided, if there is no accident, it should be an idle position of Zhengliupin, raised in the capital to save face for the Wang family."

Wang Jinyu mentioned Enke, but he didn't value it as Wang Qifang imagined, he smiled slightly and said disapprerovingly.

"Oh, then when my brother and sister-in-law settle down, let's go see my uncle and aunt...... My strength in the capital these days is thanks to the care of the second elder. ”

"Well, that's right, I want to thank the two old men, my mother went, if it wasn't for the help of the two uncles, I would have been ...... by the Zheng family Alas, forget it, since I have left the Wang family, I won't mention the past," Wang Jinyu said 'Zheng', a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he saw that the scene was a little dull, so he changed the topic and said, "When it comes to the two uncles, I heard from the third uncle that the younger sister is doing business with the third uncle?" Is it still a profitable cotton business? Presumably, I made a lot of profits last year. ”

"Hehe, of course, who is my Wang Qiniang, I'm Li Xinniang's daughter," Wang Qifang didn't want her brother to be too disappointed for that Laoshizi treasure map, so she followed Wang Jinyu's topic and said, "Cotton cloth is only a small part of the business under my name, and I have opened several shops in the capital." Also, my brother doesn't know yet, next month your little sister and I will become the first female Confucian merchant in Da Zhou."

"Oh? Did you attend the Confucian Business Association Accreditation Conference next month? ”

Wang Jinyu was really attracted by Wang Qifang's words, he looked at his sister in surprise and asked.

"That's right, and if nothing else, I'll be able to pass the certification as a new member." Wang Qifang raised her head very smugly, and said with a smile, "By the way, isn't there a lot of shops under my brother's name, and after I joined the Confucian Business Association, I will also include my brother's shop under my umbrella, how about it?" ”

"Okay, then my brother is waiting to touch my sister's light."

Wang Jinyu was very happy when she saw her little sister's radiant appearance, and pretended to join in the fun.

……

With the help of Wang Qifang, Wang Jinyu's family quickly settled down, in order to be able to take care of his sister nearby, Wang Jinyu even proposed to open a small door in the middle of the partition between the two families, if there is anything on Wang Qifang's side, he can also rush over as soon as possible.

Wang Qifang also agreed, originally, according to the original plan, she was ready to live with her brother and sister-in-law, but now a courtyard has become a neighbor, and her brother is doing this for her, where will she object.

So, Wang Qifang immediately called the mason who renovated the yard for her, and asked them to open a moon gate in the middle of the two houses, and the two families became the east and west courtyards, which was really happy for a few children.

For a while, the brother and sister lived like a family.

"Today Zhuangzi sent fresh cherries, sister-in-law come and taste them"

Wang Qifang led Yuan Niang to sit under the grape trellis on the side of the moon gate, and there was a white porcelain fruit bowl on the stone table in front of her, and there were red and bright cherries in the fruit bowl.

"Oh, there's a new fruit today?"

Cui's was also crooked for a while, and was about to take Yun Niang to see her sister-in-law, oh no, to be more precise, to see the two pink little buns, but just after walking into the garden, she heard the greeting of her sister-in-law.

As soon as she heard that there was fruit to eat, even the quiet and shy Yun Niang's eyes lit up. It's not that children are greedy, nor is it Cui's mother-in-law's abuse of concubines, it's really Wang Qifang's fruit is too delicious, not to mention fresh, and the taste is better than what is sold on the market.

"Well, it is produced in Lingxian Hot Spring Zhuangzi, because it is irrigated by hot springs, so it is more than a month earlier than ordinary cherries, but the taste is good."

Wang Qifang saw her sister-in-law and niece coming over surrounded by a group of maids, and hurriedly stood up and greeted.

"Then I'm going to taste it," Cui patted Yun Niang's little hand, signaling her to give a gift to the elders, and Yuan Niang here had already smiled and saluted Cui Shi, and after Yun Niang asked Aunt Ann in a soft voice, the two sisters-in-law sat around the stone table and began to chat, "...... The eldest cousin in the uncle's mansion came, and he called the eldest young master out without drinking the tea, saying that there was a poetry competition in Princess Jingwei's mansion, and the famous scholars in the capital had gone, so I had to let your eldest brother go and join in the fun."

"Well, I know this, Princess Jingwei likes to be lively the most, and there must be a lot of people who go," Wang Qifang really didn't have a good impression of Jingwei's woman, and after she was not interested, she suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, sister-in-law, I forgot not to mention my eldest cousin." The eldest aunt once said that the eldest cousin has a habitual tooth woman in her hand, and the maids and mother-in-law handled by the tooth woman are good. I happen to choose a few little girls for the little girl, doesn't the sister-in-law also want to buy some messengers, why don't we call people and choose a few first? ”

"Okay, I'm worried that there is no suitable candidate, why don't I send someone to Xuefu Lane to ask now, so that the tooth woman can prepare someone, and then bring it to us to see?"

When Wang Jinyu and his family left the Wang family, they only brought a personal girl and a few honest subordinates, and they didn't want any other children from the Wang family. Now that the family has finally settled down, various problems have begun to be exposed, the first of which is the lack of manpower. Like a thick girl, the kitchen handyman, and the servants in the various divisions, all need to be re-equipped.

"I think it's okay, just do what my sister-in-law wants." Wang Qifang nodded, and then said with a little embarrassment, "When the time comes, my sister-in-law will teach my sister-in-law how to choose the right person."

“…… Good"

Cui's movements were really fast, and the next day he sent a personal girl, Biluo, to invite Wang Qifang, saying that Ya Po had brought someone to let her aunt come over to take a look.

After Wang Qifang packed up, she took a few girls and mothers-in-law to the east courtyard.

"Huh? Why did that woman look so familiar? ”

Wang Qifang sat at the bottom of Cui's head, and when her eyes swept over the Ya Po and the little girls standing under the corridor, she suddenly found a familiar face.
