Su Niang and Bi'er talked and laughed, and it was nearly noon along the flower path under the lilac tree to the north courtyard, and there were many fewer people on the flower path than Kaixian. The monks scattered to the Jixiang Kitchen, staring at the kitchen monks preparing vegetarian tables for the big donors.

Qi Su Niang smelled the fragrance of flowers all over the temple, and gradually mixed with the fragrance of vegetarian rice and vegetarian dishes, and couldn't help laughing: "Bi'er, today's Di Da master also has a vegetarian banquet?" Don't talk about others, my brother and the fourteenth master must be unaccustomed to it. ”

Bi'er smiled: "Grandma doesn't know, the plain seat of Fayuan Temple is very famous in the capital, only one line worse than Longfu Temple. The uncle was full of praise after eating the vegetarian banquet of Longfu Temple, and he had to order a table to be sent to the house to eat every other month or two. ”

Qi Su Niang was stunned and smiled: "Is this the case? The vegetarian mat of Longfu Temple is so good? I heard my master say that the temple fair there is also very lively, have you ever been there? ”

"Longfu Temple is outside the Xizhi Gate, and it is the most lively. It is famous for temple fairs, vegetarian seats, and begonia flowers, and the common people visit the temple fair, and the princes and nobles rush to the vegetarian seats and begonia flowers. There are many temples outside Xizhimen, only the temple fair of Longfu Temple has the longest time in the month, the most lively, eating, groceries, antiques, books, juggling what you want. When the ninth master and Fujin went to Longfu Temple to make incense, the uncle took the slave and the maid to go, and the slave and maid bought a pair of Burmese jade bracelets, and the uncle knew that it was fake, but he didn't tell the slave and maid. It cost the slave and maid twenty taels of silver. ”

Qi Su Niang giggled, shook the white gauze fan in her hand, and said with a smile: "If that's the case, I really want to go and see it." I also lived in Beijing for two years, but I didn't come out to play at all, either in the palace or in the small courtyard of the Nine Masters' Mansion. At that time, my brother entered the Ninth Master's Mansion, his heels were not yet firm, and the people below him did not get started, and he was busy from morning to night every day, where was it like now. After that, he sighed again, "Although I have earned a lot of money now, and I have free time, I am all invested in eating and drinking and playing with women......"

Bi'er persuaded: "Grandma, don't think too much.

It's like this in big families. Like grandpa and grandma who take their own silver to fill the emperor's hole, how many are there in the world? When the slave sent the silver ticket to the chief steward of the Lian Mansion, although he didn't speak, his face was full of disapproval. It's also a shame that even the big boss remembers his grandmother's original foil. ”

Qi Su Niang nodded slowly, "At the beginning, it was just to fill the hole, and I thought about it every day." I finally found a big man like Lian Da Boss, who can talk about business with the woman in the house, and made great efforts to make the pattern, so that he owes me a heavy favor. I didn't expect that after almost ten years, I finally used it, but fortunately, he still remembers......"

Bi'er smiled and sighed: "Grandma's matter is extremely dangerous, if you give the pattern to the master, let the master discuss this matter with the master of Lianda......"

Qi Su Niang shook her head. "I was married to him not long ago. Temperament is not well understood. I don't dare to let the master know about the things in the land."

Bi'er glanced at Qi Su Niang. "Grandma said yes. Grandma said that she had learned this from the old lady. But it's out there. Most of the grandfather will not let grandma take care of the land. ”

"It's now. I didn't dare let him know. Trafficking in illicit goods and smuggled salt is a legal offense. That's how big it is. If you do it yourself. Inevitably, people will be grabbed by the handle. Think about it. Later, even the big boss became the prince's subordinate. If the Lord had such a handle in his hands. Can you still not go to the prince's door? I'm just an inner house woman. It can be regarded as the door of the Fourteenth Master. It is not easy to get involved in these things. They won't take me seriously either. All staring at him. ”

Grandma nodded. "Grandma said yes. Then again. Although there was a gap of almost six or seven years. Slaves and maids don't even look like big bosses who are so dedicated to repaying their kindness. But if you talk about grandma, she contributes to the big family. It's nothing to even repay grandma like this. ”

Bi'er said slowly: "The slave maid heard the uncle say it in the capital. At the beginning, although Lian Da was a cronie of the Jiangsu gang leader. But in the end, he is not very old. The seniority is not high. The qualifications and prestige are not as good as the second gang leader of the same generation as the Jiangsu gang leader. But since then, he has won the emperor's blue eyes and dedicated five simple pictures. The people up and down the Cao River have benefited. The reputation has since been greatly enhanced. completely suppressed the second gang leader in Jiangsu. Grandma thinks. These people have nowhere to buy land with millions of gold. As for the last time, it was nothing. What's more, now it's not like even the big boss is asking the big boss to give silver to grandma. Grandma's 21 dental stores to collect land goods, and Beijing dental stores to ship land goods are the uncle's way to make money. Even the big boss can't find it even if he wants to. If it weren't for grandma, she wouldn't dare to transport more smuggled salt. The cost of 20,000 taels alone. Even the big boss's own income is afraid that it can't match the grandma's land. ”

Qi Su Niang sighed. "It's always his favor. When I went back to speak, I wondered if I would add some conditions. Tongue-in-cheek. I didn't expect it to be a mouthful. "I thought about it." It's time for the money to be delivered. Other than that. In the past few days, if Lian Dahe comes to find you news, "Qi Su Niangfang wants to talk about the affairs of the white old five places." Suddenly, I remembered the situation between Fang Caibier and Weng Baidi. The words came to his lips and retracted. "That's it"

Bi'er was puzzled: "Grandma, what's the news of the big steward?"

"I've been upset about things one after another these days, and I don't have the heart to talk to you in detail." Qi Su Niang looked at Bi'er, "I'll tell you later." ”

The two talked all the way, and walked to the flower room in the north courtyard, the flower room was empty, full of potted flowers, there were water basins on the high table, and a row of lacquer plates on the table was dedicated to the newly cut cut flowers, and now most of them were empty.

Qi Su Niang saw a plate of five green peonies in the middle of the big plan at a glance

The bowl mouth is big, and the three cups are all delicate. Qi Su > the big green flower with dewdrops, and was about to speak, but he heard a slight voice, "Grandma, it's the big steward of Lian." ”

Qi Su Niang turned her head to look, and sure enough, she saw Lian Dahe standing at the gate of the courtyard and beckoning to Bi'er, who said softly: "Slave maid go and take a look." ”

Qi Su Niang saw that Lian Dahe took Bi'er to the lilac forest outside the courtyard to talk, so she had to wait in the flower room. Seeing the delicate and lovely flowers in her hand, she couldn't help but walk to the high water basin and borrow the hairpin flowers. It's just that there is a slight flower mud in the water, which is not very clear, and Qi Su Niang is a little sore.

Lian Zhenyun quietly walked into the flower room and stood behind Qi Su Niang. He endured the idea of picking up the flowers in her hand and making hairpins for her, until she put the green peony flowers in the bun, looked at it again and again in the water, smiled with satisfaction, and called, "Madam." ”

Qi Su Niang was startled, turned around suddenly, and almost knocked over the high basin. Lian Zhenyun was in a hurry, grabbed the water basin, looked at Qi Su Niang and said apologetically: "Zhenyun was reckless, so that Mrs. was frightened." ”

Qi Su Niang saw that it was Lian Zhenyun, and her shock calmed down for a while, thinking that she was being seen stupidly, she walked away a few steps with a red face, and said, "Big boss." ”

Lian Zhenyun stared at the faint flush on the woman's face, slowly approached, still standing three steps in front of her, and saluted back: "Madam." ”

Qi Su Niang woke up and said suspiciously: "Big boss, just now the big river came to find Bier......

"Dahe Xunbier said that it was a matter of private goods and silver. 170,000 taels of silver shall also be counted. Lian Zhenyun smiled slightly, "Now Caoshang's profit is not as good as it was at the beginning, there is no tenfold profit, and you can only earn seven or eight times." ”

Qi Su Niang was overjoyed when she heard that there were 170,000 silver, and she was deeply blessed, and thanked with a smile: "The concubine has thanked the big boss for his help, and the seven or eight times the benefit is already excellent, and the concubine is really grateful." ”

Lian Zhenyun stretched out his hand to help her up, the skin under the thin green crepe spring shirt was already slightly rich, and the smell of green peony flowers mixed with the residual lotus fragrance on the spring shirt drilled straight into his nose, "Madam is polite, Zhenyun should have reciprocated one or two." Looking at Qi Su Niang's smiling face, she slowly let go of her hand, "Yinzi is about it, Dahe will talk to Bi'er." Zhenyun came to find Mrs. for Bai Lao Wu's incident. ”

Qi Su Niang's face sank, her smile suddenly stopped, and she bit her lip and said, "Where does he live?" The big boss has already been found? ”

Lian Zhenyun said softly: "Madam, don't worry, I have already found out that Song Qing hid Bai Lao Wu and that girl in the temple outside Xizhi Gate." There are only four or five temples outside the Xizhi Gate. Weng Bai always wants to see his father and mother, that is, he is waiting for the rabbit, and there will be news in the next two days. ”

Qi Su Niang heard Weng Bai's name, immediately sighed, slowly turned the fan in her hand, and hesitated: "Big boss, in your opinion, if you catch Bai Lao Wu and that girl, what should I do......"

Lian Zhenyun and Qi Su Niang have known each other for seven or eight years, but she has already made up her mind about everything, and it is the first time to listen to her tone of discussion, and her heart is happy, "Madame thinks that her heart is soft again, but if these things cannot be eradicated, not only Madame and I, but also Lord Futai will also be affected......

Qi Su Niang was startled, gritted her silver teeth slightly, and nodded: "The big boss is right." I had already let them go. It's really annoying to turn it over and talk about it now. He flipped the white gauze fan in his hand and looked at Lian Zhenyun, "If yes...... If it is convenient for the big boss, when Bai Lao Wu is caught, can you know if you can call the concubine and let the concubine also go to see ......"

Lian Zhenyun said with a smile: "I came to find Mrs. to discuss this matter with Mrs. As soon as I have news here, I will come to pick up Mrs. with me." When the time comes, let the river go to find Bier."

Qi Su Niang immediately cut off, "I can't let Bi'er know" looked at Lian Zhenyun, who was smiling slightly, "Big boss, don't let Bi'er know, she definitely can't bear to ......"

Lian Zhenyun nodded and smiled: "If that's the case, once there is news, I will send someone to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Hall in the name of Zhiying to deliver a post and set a time and place." ”

Qi Su Niang said strangely: "Fa'er is good, but who is Zhiying?" ”

Lian Zhenyun coughed, "It was the eighth master who gave Meng Jiuye the land to raise the horse, and Meng Jiuye transferred it to me." Looking at her face, "Because it was the person sent by the emperor's elder brother, he didn't dare to slack off, so he ...... Now I have lifted the side house......"

Qi Su Niang also vaguely heard about this, and nodded slowly, "It turned out to be the new aunt and grandmother of the big boss...... suddenly remembered again, "Weng Bai's father is in Gaoyou?" Bai Lao Wu is his adoptive father? ”

Lian Zhenyun hurriedly said: "Speaking of which, Weng Bai's father is close to your family, and he is a senior official of Wengjiazhuang in Gaoyou Prefecture. ”

Qi Su Niang immediately thought about it and said in surprise: "Wengjiazhuang is at the east end of Qi Village, less than twenty miles away. Weng Bai didn't follow his father, and fell outside" suddenly flashed in his mind, his eyes widened, and he looked at Lian Zhenyun in a daze.

Seeing that her face was pale, Lian Zhenyun took two steps and comforted her softly: "It's not our fault, Bai Lao Wu is a man, he would rather die than sell his wife to live."

On which day is there no brother missing an arm or a broken leg, and how many people are selling their wives? It's a shame that the girl followed him with all her heart. Said slowly: "This time, Bai Lao Wu and the girl have been disposed of, and the future troubles will be eliminated, and the lady will no longer need to worry about this matter......"
