Chapter Seventy-One: Xinghong Is a Spy?
Qiusheng said: "The guests targeted by the boss are all there. ”
He said and pointed to the direction where the gate of Qingfeng Mingyue Tower was located, Lan Xiaoyou looked over, only to see rows of carriages and horses parked outside Qingfeng Mingyue Building, and there was a large shed closed on three sides on one side, in which tables and chairs were placed, and many people in short clothes were sitting drinking tea and chatting or playing cards and gambling BO. These people are all subordinates who followed the master to Qingfeng Mingyue Tower, although they are not short of money, but in the style of Qingfeng Mingyue Building, they can't enter, they can only wait outside the gate to pass the time.
Lan Xiaoyou understood that the main customers of the wonton stall were these people.
Qiusheng said: "In another watch, these people will come hungry for supper, and the boss's business will be fine." ”
The boss happened to pass by, and when he heard Qiusheng's words, he nodded again and again: "Yes, those masters are not bad at money, and we earn more money every night than we make in front of the market during the day." ”
"That's what you make is delicious, otherwise how can those masters who are used to eating good come to your stall?" Lan Xiaoyou praised the deliciousness of the wontons, which made the boss smile happily, and quickly served a small plate of side dishes for the two of them for free. The side dish is a wild vegetable mixed with ginger juice, which is a little astringent, but has a different flavor.
After eating the wontons, the two put a piece of broken silver on the table and got up to leave. The boss happily put away the broken silver, but was not particularly excited. Occasionally, some high-ranking guests will come to eat wontons, and they will also give a lot of rewards. The silver accumulated over the years was enough for their family to buy another ten acres of land.
Lan Xiaoyou returned to the small courtyard of the Hou Mansion, sent Qiusheng away, and took off his makeup and changed his clothes with the help of Xinghong. Lying on his bed, Lan Xiaoyou took out the remaining more than 90,000 taels of silver tickets. These silver tickets, she originally took 50,000 taels out to redeem Guichen, and then gave him 20,000 taels for future living expenses, leaving more than 20,000 taels for her own backup, but she didn't expect them to be useless.
Do you want to use this money as the principal and let Qiusheng help her do other business?
Lan Xiaoyou thought about it for a long time and decided not to do it yet. It's better to keep a low profile until you've dealt with all the enemies. Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger and making a fortune in secret is king.
After figuring it out, Lan Xiaoyou brought the silver ticket into the space, put it in the first drawer of the cabinet, and began to cultivate. Maybe it was because another period of cause and effect had been solved, and today's cultivation was very smooth, and the true qi had increased a lot, and I began to touch the threshold of the next realm.
Lan Xiaoyou was looking forward to moving to the next realm, so that she would be able to open the second drawer and get the contents inside. Lan Xiaoyu was looking forward to what was inside. The contents of the first drawer were almost used by her, and she wished to be able to open the second drawer before she ran out of things.
The effect of one night's cultivation was extraordinary, and Lan Xiaoyu started a new day's life in good spirits, but Xinghong was very depressed because she slept too late at night. Lan Xiaoyou gave her a day off and let her have a good rest.
Xinghong thanked her and retired, leaving only Lan Xiaoyou and Taoxin in the room, looking at Taoxin's expression of wanting to speak and stopping, Lan Xiaoyou asked, "What's wrong?" There is something to say. ”
Taoxin bit her lip and said with determination: "Xinghong was not in the house last night, and I won't go back to the room until two watches." I don't know where she went. Third Miss, Xinghong, could Xinghong be a spy sent by someone else's family? Do you want the second son to check it? ”
Lan Xiaoyou was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed.
"Third Miss?!" Taoxin was embarrassed and dazed by Lan Xiaoyou's laughter.
Lan Xiaoyou stopped laughing and said to Taoxin: "Xinghong is not a spy, she helped me guard the door yesterday, and I went out." ”
"Third Miss!" Momoxin was startled. Traveling in the middle of the night, this is not what Houmen's daughter should do, if it is known by others, Miss's reputation will be gone, she hurriedly lowered her volume and whispered, "Third Miss, you, how can you go out at night?" If someone else knows that it will damage your reputation, you will soon marry the emperor. ”
Lan Xiaoyou smiled: "Don't worry, except for the Xinghong brothers and sisters and you, no one else knows." ”
Although Taoxin was worried, there was still a sense of happiness in her heart after gaining trust, and she whispered: "The slave will never say anything about this." ”
"I believe in you." Lan Xiaoyou leaned back and changed into a comfortable position, "If I didn't trust your loyalty, how could I have transferred you to my side again?" ”
Taoxin was extremely moved, and her eyes were moist: "Third Miss, the slave swears that the slave will only be loyal to you in this life and will never betray." ”
"I don't believe in oaths." Lan Xiaoyou took out the Asking Heart Pill, "This is the Asking Heart Pill, as long as you don't betray me, it is a tonic for strengthening your body, but if you betray me, the tonic will immediately turn into poison." Do you want to eat? ”
Without hesitation, Momoxin picked up the Question Pill and fed it into his mouth.
Lan Xiaoyou smiled: "In the future, you and Xinghong will take turns to follow me, there are some things, you go and ask Xinghong, she will tell you." ”
Taoxin asked, "Xinghong also took the Asking Heart Pill?" ”
Lan Xiaoyou nodded: "When I gave her brother a heart pill, she took the initiative to take one." ”
Taoxin puffed out her cheeks: "It's cheaper for her, obviously I'll follow the third lady first." ”
Lan Xiaoyou glanced at her: "It's not your own fault. If it weren't for the fact that you were able to be tricked by someone casually when you spoke casually before, how dare I rest assured that I would keep you by my side. ”
Tao Xin shrank her shoulders in a sneer, and then promised: "Third Miss, don't worry, the slave will definitely be careful when she speaks in the future, and she will definitely not be talked to again." ”
"Third Miss, Sister Qingwei is here." Outside the house, the sound of the little maid's report sounded.
"Go and bring your sister Qingwei in." Lan Xiaoyu instructed Peach Core. Taoxin lifted the curtain and went out, and after a while, he walked into the house with Qinghao.
"Why did Sister Qinghao come here early in the morning?" Lan Xiaoyou greeted Haze with a smile.
"I've seen Miss Three." Qing Wei saluted Lan Xiaoyu in a proper manner, and handed the post in his hand forward.
Lan Xiaoyou reached out and took the post. The post is made of flower paper, delicate and elegant, with hairpin flowers written on it, inviting Lan Xiaoyou to participate in the plum banquet three days later.
Although it has just entered October, the capital of Daqing is located in the north, a north wind is coming, the first snow covers the capital, and the plum blossoms also bloom with the first snow. Plum blossoms are noble, deeply loved by the nobles and ladies in Beijing, every winter will open a few more plum feasts, among which the plum feast just after the first snow is the most valued, and the identity of the people who open this kind of banquet is very high. This time the plum banquet was held by a princess of the county prince's mansion, and people knew that Lan Xiaoyu was preparing to get married, so they didn't think she would participate, but they still had to make a gesture of invitation.
