Chapter 21 Different Paths to the Same End
"From ten years ago to the present, there is one piece of news about the Qingmen, and I believe that you have paid a lot of attention to the Nine Sects, and the collection is definitely useful." Qu Yilan knew that her opening was a big gamble.
Zhao Fatzi was not surprised, he smiled, "Then you should also know that the Jianghu Festival is about to open, and the business of buying and selling news is the most prosperous at this juncture, and the price is rising." And as we said earlier, a piece of news can only be given to one employer. If we really give you all the news, it will have a great impact on our business this time, and the price will be ......."
"The price is easy to say, you can just open it." Qu Yilan had already made up her mind, even if she had to beg Elder Song, even if she had to temporarily empty Yuliu Mountain, she would take down Tongyue River first.
Seeing Qu Yilan's resolute attitude, Boss Zhao reached out and took the account book on the side to make a record, "Okay, let's do a routine, I'll ask someone to ask the second master what he means, and I'll give you a reply in three days." β
It's the second boss again...... "Can't you make a decision today?" Where are you two now? β
"Ouch, that's unfortunate, our second boss has just left for a while, and you can meet it for an hour. We have a small official here, and we can't let our guys have the final say in everything, and a big business like yours must be sent upwards. β
Qu Yilan suddenly remembered the man in white who had seen him twice, first chased by Su Qianqian on Tongyuejiang Official Road, and then met at the gate of Tingfeng Tower...... It must have been him, she actually missed the main lord twice.
"Okay then, wait for Boss Zhao's news." She placed a warrant on the table and pushed it.
Boss Zhao took it and nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, you two." β
Qu Yilan and Zi Ying left the Tingfeng Building under the escort of Xiao Er, and the noise behind them went away. Purple Sakura took the horse and looked back, and asked very uneasily, "Miss, how much do you think is worth it?" I always felt that this time the Spider Shadow would be a sky-high price. β
Qu Yilan also changed her previous indifference, and a trace of worry appeared in her eyes, "I can't imagine it, but I have to try it no matter how much I want, Yuliushan may hurt my muscles and bones, but I shouldn't be able to afford it......"
"That's the money fromβ"
"I can only talk to Elder Song." Qu Yilan was a little flustered in her heart, Elder Song's attitude determined how much benefit she could get from Yuliu Mountain, hoping that she didn't make Elder Song angry this time. Zi Ying didn't think of this at all, and Qu Yilan didn't plan to discuss it with her.
In the scorching afternoon sun, vendors set up shelters on both sides of the street, and the shouts were endless. Zi Ying looked at the lively bazaar and asked a little distractedly, "Miss, why do you say that the spider shadow can sit firmly and big." β
"Because everybody hates it, but it has to be needed. Therefore, the spider's shadow can hide in the subtle details and survive, and gradually penetrate into an important position. I believe that every Jianghu sect wants to buy and sell other people's information, and at the same time hates that their own information is bought and sold by others. β
Zi Sakura thought for a while, as if she had thought of something, but she looked uncertain, and finally changed the subject, "Then where are we going now?" β
"Since they all said that they came out to see their own industry, why should they go and see it after the business is done, and they can't really fool Su Wenyuan."
There are many shops, businesses, and horse teams under the name of the Qing Men, and the income from these industries supports the expenses of the whole family. Generally, those who take care of internal affairs are old and capable disciples in the sect, and those hired below are disciples from the outside of the sect, or outsiders.
The two of them led the horses and walked all the way to see if they couldn't stop. Qu Yilan was very indifferent on the surface and didn't talk much, but her dripping eyes betrayed her true heart, and those smart eyes were not enough to scan around. Zi Ying is very caring, and she keeps talking to Qu Yilan all the way - even if Miss doesn't say anything, she always knows Miss's thoughts.
Xiangcheng is a place where every inch of land is expensive, and if anyone can have a shop at the top of the street, it is definitely someone behind them. Qingmen is close to this place, so naturally there are quite a lot of family properties. While explaining to Qu Yilan about "human sophistication", Zi Ying occasionally paid attention to whether she had missed her own property around her, as if she was the leader of the housekeeper's mother-in-law.
Qu Yilan listened curiously at first, but then she became distracted.
After talking about things, she was a little dazed, she didn't know what else she could do while waiting for news in the past three days. According to what the fat man said before, it will take about two days for the informant to travel back and forth, so it will only take one day for the two of them to make such a big deal...... Or a moment.
What the hell is this guy like? Maybe it's because of Su Qianqian, maybe it's because of this business, she really can't be curious about the second master, and she is a little worried about it. Thinking of the person who was chased out by Su Qianqian the first day, and the coincidence of a mistake at the door of Tingfeng Building, the person she painted should be the second master of Spider Shadow, he looks very young, will it be ......
"Miss, Miss~ It's already here, what do you want?"
"Nothing." Qu Yilan came back to her senses, she looked up and saw that it was a very large jewelry store. Jewelry is nothing more than gold and silver jewelry, and it has to be strong in background to be able to afford valuable rough raw materials. Su Wenyuan dared to give her a jewelry shop right away, it must be no problem.
They walked into the shop, and the whole store was magnificent, and there were a few noble ladies who looked richly dressed and elegant. The attendants are dressed in the colors of the Seimen family, and the atmosphere is elegant and gentle.
There were fewer guests, fewer waiters, and there were no extra waiters to entertain them. Qu Yilan looked at it by herself for a while, and was attracted by a girl in the innermost part of the shop. She leaned over the wall, about to fall down, obviously impatient to the extreme. She muttered in a big voice: "I don't believe it, there are the most good things in Qingmen, and there must be more than this goods." β
"Girl, that's really all." The maid next to her explained good-naturedly.
"That's all? Just such a dirty and slag-dropping style? I said, do you only buy things for my aunt when you clear this shop? β
"I'm really sorry, why don't you go and have a look elsewhere?"
Qu Yilan finally understood how her own industry operated, tepid, not collapsed, not careful, not deliberately slack, but also unwilling to put her mind into it. Those jewels on a red backing are the simplest but most expensive of the gold materials, valuable, especially valuable, but not brilliant.
Mu Hanyue reminded her before that Su Wenyuan didn't make any mistakes, it turned out that there were no mistakes, which is what it meant.
"Okay, let's go~" The girl lying on the counter interrupted the waiter's pale explanation, she straightened up indignantly, flicked her sleeves and walked out. There seemed to be a few small bells tied around her waist and cuffs, and Ding Lingdang was very pleasant when she walked.
She walked towards her, a cinnabar mole in the corner of her eye was very dazzling, and her facial features were seductive. A pink dress covered with purple gauze gowns, a very ordinary color match, but it looks a little fairy.
She took a look at Qu Yilan, who was poking at the door, and the two happened to look at each other. The woman looked at Qu Yilan's face a little curiously, and Qu Yilan stared at a section of her neck exposed by her neckline, the girl's white neck slightly revealed a small red scar, and the oozing blood slightly stained the pink neckline, if you don't look closely, it is difficult to find.
Subsequently, the two passed by.
Purple Sakura asked her in a low voice, "Miss, do we still want to take a look?" β
Qu Yilan nodded and said, "Let's watch again." β
"Huh? Isn't this the third brother~" The woman stopped at the door and shouted in a raised voice.
She and Qu Yilan happened to be back to back, and hearing such a strange yin and yang sound, Qu Yilan sensitively sensed something. She suddenly turned her head and looked out, the woman in pink standing behind her was dodging to the side, Qu Yilan subconsciously stretched out her hand, and grabbed the oncoming lancet.
When she grasped it in her hand, she saw clearly that the lancet was very thin and blue, and it was poisonous at first glance, and she almost grabbed it on the blade, and she was shocked into a cold sweat.
Throwing the knife was a man standing outside the door, although he had a big shoulder and a round waist, he had a small round face and big eyes, looking like a baby face that had not grown, and he also brought a lot of followers with him. The man was also terrified when he saw that his own knife had almost injured someone else by mistake.
"Third brother, what are you doing here?" The woman in pink with tears in the corners of her eyes continued to say in a weird way, she seemed a little disappointed when she saw that the man had not accidentally injured others, "Third brother, don't you have any dissatisfaction with the shops that people have cleared?" If you have something, go back and talk to the family about it, and see if your father and mother can give you an outlet for your evil anger~"
Qu Yilan's face sank, this woman's movements were sharp, and she could obviously intercept the lancet by herself. It seems that these two people have a holiday, and she also wants to pull herself into the water.
Seeing that there were many people on the street who came to see the excitement, the man was very worried, obviously he didn't want to offend Qingmen, and he didn't want to be spread about anything. He glared angrily, pointed at the nose of the woman in pink and scolded, "Liu Xiang! You don't talk nonsense everywhere, just now I am here to teach you a lesson about this unfilial daughter who insults the family! Father clearly didn't allow you to come, but you were disobedient. It was you who dodged just now, and I almost accidentally injured the girl. β
Liu Xiang sneered, "Oh~ It turns out that I can't hide when I see the knife flying over~ My brother said earlier, you throw it again, I just don't hide." She said with her arms open, as if she was spilling on the crowd.
"You fartβ" The man was so angry that he didn't do it again. Seeing the two of them greeting each other, Qu Yilan, who was standing on the side, became more and more gloomy like water.
