Chapter 167: Bodyguards

After the eldest master and the second master agreed on a date to go to the south. Then he went back to the old lady, the old lady also felt too anxious, went out to look at the yellow calendar, picked a good day and prepared a little, and persuaded the father and son for a while, saying that it was tomorrow on the sixth day of the ninth month, easy to travel, and said the current situation again, the old lady is a decisive person after all, and feels that it is a matter of the rise and fall of the Xiao Mansion, sooner rather than later, so he agreed.

Seeing that the big event was decided, Xiao Jun was just about to say goodbye, but the old lady suddenly remembered that the second master would not be there for a short time, and she was afraid that she would miss the plan of her children and grandchildren, and she didn't have a great-grandson, so she temporarily proposed to let the second master bring a wife and concubine over in order to take care of daily life.

Of course, it would be nice to have a great-grandson by the way.

Listening to his grandmother's words, Xiao Junzhi frowned. Grandma's little thing he knew, he opened his mouth to refuse, Mengxi's figure flashed in front of him, and his heart moved, she didn't like Xiao Mansion, leaving here, Xi'er might let go of her mind.

Why don't you take her to the south, without her mother and Xiu'er, she can always open her heart to him for a year, right? No mistakes in many words

Thinking of it, Xiao Jun hurriedly nodded and hurriedly returned to Xiao Xiang Courtyard.

……

The four maids in Mengxi were choosing her new perfume, and they saw them holding a small bottle and smelling it, Zhichun said while smelling it:

"The second grandmother is really good, she can come up with the idea of dissolving this spice in water and making it into a perfume, which is much more convenient to use, and then you don't have to smoke it after washing your clothes, it's really convenient."

知夏interface says:

"This bottle has a faint fragrance, if there is nothing, refreshing, there is a feeling of peace of mind, is it made of soothing incense, it doesn't smell like it, the slave likes it very much, this bottle will be rewarded to the slave and the maid."

Mengxi listened to it and briefly introduced:

"It's all made with flowers and special medicines. Different flowers and plants, with different flavors, Zhixia bottle uses lavender and jasmine, lavender has a calming effect, the most suitable for sprinkling in the bed tent at night, Zhiqiu's bottle mainly uses roses, I try to play, you pick the one you like to take it, remember, there is no such thing in our house, be careful not to let people see the root cause"

"Slave, thank you, second grandmother"

The four maids chattered happily, and for a while they felt that any bottle was good, and they grabbed it and made a fuss.

"By the way, second grandma, this perfume has a unique fragrance and is so easy to use, those dignitaries and young masters must like it, the second grandma might as well take it to Yichun Hall and try to sell it."

was picking, Zhiqiu's eyes lit up, as if he saw the large amount of silver rolling in again, and he was busy reciting the business scriptures with the second grandmother.

"That's right, the slave thinks Zhiqiu is right," Zhixia and Zhidong also agreed.

"I don't like the smell of incense. It's too strong, and I saw that you picked a lot of flowers, so I tried to mix some for my own use, Yichuntang's medicine is already very profitable, there is no need to sell these things, it's not good for people to remember, just enough money to spend."

After Mengxi finished speaking, she saw a few girls fall silent, and asked casually:

"By the way, Zhiqiu, has the matter of the branch been settled?" No mistakes, no word skipping.

As soon as Zhiqiu heard about mentioning the medicine hall, he came to the spirit:

"Look at the slave's memory, these two days of optical rules, actually forgot the business, the day before yesterday the slave's brother sent a letter over, saying that he had found a place in Jinyang City, it was a restaurant, the business was not good to exchange, I heard my brother say that the location is very good, there are two times the size of Yichun Hall, my brother took a fancy at a glance, I want to plate down, anxious to let the slave maid ask the meaning of the second grandmother, that day it happened that you went to the Shouxi Hall, and when you came back, the slave went to learn the rules and forgot about it"

"Let Li Du deal with this matter with full authority, just tell him to be more steady, don't be in a hurry in everything, what's going on in the outer house?"

"The matter of the outer house has not yet been settled, and my brother wants you not to worry. Where you live, always find a proper one, by the way, the second grandmother, my brother went to Jingyun Temple the day before yesterday, and wanted to buy the Liuyun Baifu jade pendant, who knows, when my brother went, the store was closed"

"It's sealed, haven't you heard it?"

"The slave's brother inquired, saying that the shopkeeper had offended someone and was forcibly bought, and it was temporarily sealed and waiting to be counted."

When Zhichun heard this, his eyes lit up, and he interjected and asked:

"Did the second master accept them in order to vent his anger to the second grandmother?"

Zhiqiu shook his head, looked at the second grandmother and said:

"The slave maid also thought that the second master did it, and she was excited for a long time, and then asked her brother to inquire and said that the buyer's surname was Li, not the Xiao family."

"Then your brother didn't ask the buyer, the jade pendant and topaz bracelet are still there, and we will buy the same from them" Zhichun asked without giving up.

Later, my brother went again and begged someone to check it. It is said that there are no two things at all. ”

Listening to Zhiqiu's words, Mengxi was lost for a while, and sat there in a daze.

Zhiqiu didn't know how to persuade when he saw it, and suddenly remembered something, and said to the second grandmother:

"Second grandma can't remember that you saved a son a month and a half ago"

Mengxi listened and asked in confusion:

"Childe, I really can't remember what you said."

"The second grandmother is really a noble person, that is, the last time we secretly went out of the house to check the business, we met the son who was rescued by my brother and fainted at the door of the medicine hall, my brother and father were not found to be sick, and they were helpless. It happened that you arrived, and said that you were poisoned, and you were relieved and saved his life."

"I remembered what you said, the one in that son is a crane and ambergris, and it is also a strange poison, and ordinary people really can't solve it, fortunately I met me, and he is fateful, didn't you say that he woke up and left? Why did you mention him again?"

"The son came back a few days ago, my brother was annoyed that he didn't say goodbye, and went out, but he was too lazy to leave at the door of Yichun Hall, saying that you saved him, and his life will be yours in the future, I have to see you, my brother is afraid of affecting the business, so I have to let him into the back hall, under a question, this son is surnamed Ouyang, the single word name "Di", is actually a person from the rivers and lakes, it is said to be a swordsman, because he was chased and killed by the enemy, poisoned, fainted at the door of the medicine hall, by mistake, was solved by the second grandmother, after he woke up, In order to avoid the enemy, he said goodbye, a few days ago, he had stabbed the enemy, and then he came back to repay you, hehe, the second grandmother didn't know, he was serving as a bodyguard in the medicine hall. ”

"Hehe, it sounds like a storyteller. With the prince to protect him, do you still need him? ”

Mengxi said with a smile, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, she seemed to catch it, and suddenly stopped her mouth, this Ouyang swordsman who appeared out of thin air reminded her of the martial arts she had seen in her previous life, the beggar gang, the Qing Gang, this gang and that faction, of course she couldn't set up a gang, but when the business became bigger in the future, if she wanted to open a branch, she couldn't rely on the prince for everything, not to mention that she needed to be independent, just to say that since ancient times, the royal family is also the most unreliable.

When the business grows bigger, there should be its own security guard, thinking of this, he looked up and said to Zhiqiu:

"As soon as you talk about bodyguards, I think about it, I want to open a branch in the future, the business will become bigger, there must be a lot of things, just to transport medicines back and forth, you have to be a good person, you can't rely on the prince for everything, you should also have your own bodyguard team."

"The second grandmother said the same, it's just ......"

"In this way, tell Li Du, leave Ouyang Gongzi for the time being, observe for a while, if he is indeed a bright and upright person, we will reuse him, if there are other attempts, send him away as soon as possible, this branch will open the one in Jinyang for the time being, and put down the others first, that place is big, let Li Du recruit more strong people, don't feel sorry for me, and concentrate on cultivating a group of capable and loyal bodyguards."

"The second grandmother's idea is good, but my brother and father are both businessmen, how can they train bodyguards? Why don't we hire some martial artists? ”

"Well, that's right, I don't know how Ouyang is? I can't use him for the time being, so let's invite some martial artists first."

After listening to the words of the two, Zhixia on the side interjected and said:

"Second grandma, slave maid heard that those martial artists on the market are all showy, they can only show their fists and legs, and they are not useful, and if they want to train bodyguards, they have to find someone who really knows how to do it."

知冬interface says:

"Where to look for it, don't say you don't know it, even if you know, you can't ask for it!"

Several people fell silent all of a sudden, and they couldn't think of a good way, Mengxi slapped his head and said:

"We have ready-made people who don't need it, and we're still worried about it, it's really a donkey to find a donkey"

"Who?"

"Prince, come, take pen and ink, I will repair a book, and send someone out tomorrow to let Li Du transfer it to the prince"

Qiu Chun was busy, put down the perfume bottle in his hand, and went to prepare paper and ink.

As he was talking, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, Zhidong hurriedly ran out, and after a while, Hongzhu walked in with her, greeted the second grandmother, and said:

"Second grandma, second grandma, please go to the room for something"

"The second master didn't say anything?"

Hearing this, Zhiqiu asked.

"The second master didn't say it, but it seems to be in a hurry."

"You go over and go back to the second master first, and say I'll go over right away."

"Yes, the slave and maid will go first," Hongzhu replied and hurriedly walked out.

When the four maids heard the second master call the second grandmother, they became nervous again, and they didn't know what to do, so Zhiqiu waited for the second grandmother to take care of it briefly. Zhichun had found the auspicious clothes, and Mengxi looked at it and said:

"In my own courtyard, this regular dress is fine, don't change it, the second master has been cloudy and sunny for a while, and after a long delay, he is looking for trouble"

As he spoke, he helped Zhiqiu to stand up and walk out.

"Second Grandma" saw the second grandmother and Zhiqiu walking out, and Zhixia shouted.

"Things?" Mengxi asked back.

"The slave maid thinks, the second master has a bad temper these days, don't let Sister Zhiqiu pass, lesp, lesp..."

As soon as Mengxi heard it, he understood what Zhixia meant, the second master was in a bad mood for a while, and he drove out a group of maids, Zhiqiu had the greatest prejudice against the second master, he was quick-tempered and spicy, he was afraid that she would be kicked out if she collided with the second master, Mengxi thought about it, and turned his face to Zhiqiu and said:

"You stay in the house and let Zhichun accompany me."

Zhiqiu glanced at Zhixia and said:

"Second grandma, it's better for the slave to accompany you, the slave will be careful"

"Don't get in the way, the second master is working the maids in the courtyard these days, even Aunt Cui and the maids in the red jade house have been beaten a few, the second master has a deep prejudice against you, you just dodge it first, if you really get rid of you, my loss will be great."

Mengxi said half-jokingly, and had helped Zhichun to walk out, Zhiqiu listened, so he had to nod and stay in the house.

Today's update, there will be another watch in the evening
