Chapter 34: Liu's initial defeat
"Yes, I'll change it back tomorrow, and I won't make any more mistakes. Don't worry about Qin'er, I see that Qin'er's clothes are made by her mother according to the size in her memory, so I will invite the master to come tomorrow and cut two new clothes for Qin'er, new clothes with new jewelry, and fortunately show the beauty of our Qin'er on the day of the banquet. β
Seeing Qi Qin's anger and Old Lady Qi's doubts, Qi Xuan hurriedly used her clothes to curry favor with Qi Qin to prevent her from talking nonsense about the Liu family in front of Old Lady Qi, which made Old Lady Qi disliked.
"Then Qin'er thanked the eldest brother. I think that the colleague was also accidentally mistaken, and the eldest brother will change it back tomorrow. Qi Qin understood Qi Xuan's hint.
Qi Qin knew in her heart that in this family in the future, she would inevitably rely on her eldest brother.
Since things are indispensable to herself, and she can sell her eldest brother a favor, she is willing to do such a good thing.
As for the Liu family's desire to mix up the accounts, let's write it down, only in the future, she can get it back, didn't she open a jewelry shop, Qi Qin thought secretly in her heart.
"It's still Xuan'er's thoughtfulness, to participate in such a banquet, you should cut a few decent clothes for Qin'er. Shu'er, you have a good eye, let's help Qin'er pick it tomorrow. Old Lady Qi answered.
Jiang Shu didn't refuse, so she agreed.
"Thank you, mother, thank you, brother and sister-in-law." Qi Qin smiled happily.

Cuizhu Lane, Cuizhu Courtyard
The Liu family dressed up as usual and waited for Qi Xuan's arrival, but he was slightly nervous, and he didn't know if Li Niang's method was useful.
Because Li Niang has been in the jewelry business for a long time, she knows many skilled craftsmen and jewelry merchants.
She introduced a Hepu merchant to the Liu family, found two pearls that were very similar to the pearls, and asked the craftsman to use skillful hands to make two pearls that were fake and real, and handed them to Qi Xuan.
This method will definitely succeed, Qi Qin, a girl who has just come from a small town, can see what kind of world, such exquisite craftsmanship, even few people in Chang'an City can see through, Liu kept comforting herself, but the constantly stirring handkerchief showed her inner tension.
"Master, please inside, the lady has been waiting for you for a long time." When the voice of Liu's personal maid Cuizhu came from outside the house, Liu's sorted out his mood, smiled in the mirror, and prepared to welcome Qi Xuan's arrival.
"Xuanlang." Liu said with a smile, seeing Qi Xuan's tense face, Liu secretly said in his heart that it was not good.
Qi Xuan looked at Liu and didn't speak, but put the bag on the table.
"Xuanlang." Liu called Qi Xuan timidly: "Don't be like this, I'm afraid." β
"Scared, why don't you know to be afraid when you exchange pearls for pearls." Qi Xuan did not reprimand Liu loudly, but calmly said this passage.
Liu has been married to Qi Xuan for many years, and knew that this was what he was really angry about, so he showed weakness and said: "Xuanlang, I was wrong, those two pearls had already been sold by the shopkeeper when I arrived at the store." In order not to make the third sister sad, I made this decision. β
Seeing Liu's aggrieved appearance, Qi Xuan thought that she was not to blame for this, so he also softened his heart and said: "Now Qin'er and Mother already know that these two pearls are pearls mixed with pearls, I don't care what method you use, you must exchange those two pearls for me." Otherwise, if your mother knows, Brother Fu'er won't be able to protect you. β
There is another sentence, Qi Xuan didn't say it in his heart, if the Jiang family is allowed to go out, then we will all be finished.
"Don't worry, Xuanlang, I will definitely get those two beads back." Liu said with tears in his eyes.

Leaning on the Red Mansion, Yunqi Pavilion.
"Yunqi, my baby daughter, you are really getting more and more attractive, not only the nobles of Chang'an City are fascinated by you, but even the women are begging to see you with a lot of money."
"I just don't know if she came to the door to make trouble, do you want me to refuse for you, but it's a pity that she has a lot of silver." The old bustard of the Red Mansion waved his handkerchief and said.
Looking at the old bustard who wanted to make money and wanted to pretend to be a good person for his own sake, Yunqi only felt extremely bored and said:
"Since my mother has accepted other people's gifts, then I will see them, I have dealt with so many aristocratic sons, and I am afraid that a girl will not succeed."
"Okay, baby daughter, with your words, it can be regarded as a mother who didn't hurt you in vain." The old bustard said happily, and said to the Liu clan outside the Yunqi Pavilion: "Girl, you can come in." β
Although the Liu family walked into Yunqi Pavilion in men's clothes, he naturally had nothing to hide in front of his mother who had read countless people.
So although his daughter was recognized, Liu did not panic.
"I don't know what the girl is looking for me." Miss Yunqi asked Liu: "Could it be that the girl's fiancΓ© came to me to borrow wine to relieve his sorrows and was discovered by the girl, and he came to me to make a scene." β
Liu Shi looked at the Yunqi girl in front of her, she was dressed in a snow-white temperament, and with a fast-talking temperament, she didn't look like a top brand in a happy scene to look like a daughter.
"Miss Yunqi misunderstood, I came to find the girl because I had something to ask for." Liu said politely.
"Oh~ I don't know what the girl is looking for me." Yunqi asked.
"I don't know if the girl can receive a gift of a pair of black and white pearls, that pair of pearls is very important to me, and I hope the girl will cut her love." Liu said.
Hearing Liu's words, Yun Qi's face moved slightly, walked to his makeup box, took out a brocade box, opened it and asked, "I don't know what the girl said is this pair of pearls." β
"That's it." Seeing the two pearls, one black and one white, lying quietly in the brocade box, Liu's heart was half relieved.
After Qi Xuan left, the Liu family returned to the Pavilion to ask Li Niang's guest who had purchased the pearl.
Li Niang remembered that the little boy vaguely said that she bought this pair of pearls in order to rely on the Yunqi girl of the Red Mansion and smiled.
So, the Liu family came to try their luck, but they didn't expect Mingzhu to be really here.
That's a lot easier.
Yunqi girl quietly looked at Liu's face in her eyes, and said: "What the girl said, Yunqi knows, but this pair of pearls is also Yunqi's beloved thing, I'm afraid ...... It's hard to cut the love ......"
"Yunqi girl, although this pair of pearls is precious, it is also a valuable thing, but it is really meaningful to me, so I will bother Yunqi girl, the girl will make a price, I will make the girl satisfied." In addition, there is a pair of small gifts here, which are not a tribute, and Miss Wangyunqi smiles. β
After that, Liu Shi also took out a brocade box, and the pair of pearls imitated from Hepu pearls lay quietly in it.
"This pair of beads is made of Hepu pearls, the craftsman is wonderful, and there is also the brilliance of the pearl, and the Yunqi girl will definitely be brilliant when she wears it." Liu complimented.
Yunqi girl looked at the almost similar Hepu pearl, picked it up and looked at it carefully by the candlelight, and then she also discovered the subtlety of this pearl, and said with a smile:
"Since the girl sincerely asked for the pearl and gave Yunqi such a delicate gift, then Yunqi is not easy to win people's love, these two pearls, three thousand taels sold to the girl."
Three thousand taels, Liu was secretly shocked in his heart, but it was not easy to show it, it was really a bitch who was ruthless, and thought that this famous Yunqi girl in Chang'an could be anything special, but she was also a layman.
This time it's really a big loss.
The Liu family was distressed and gave the Yunqi girl three thousand taels of silver tickets in exchange for this pair of pearls.
Coupled with the pair of exquisitely crafted Hepu pearls, she lost more than 2,000 taels of silver this time and again.
Qi Qin, if it weren't for her, how could she do such a loss-making business, Liu secretly hated it in his heart.
