Chapter Twenty-Nine: Porteering
Qin Mingyue suddenly remembered a question: "Xiao Rui, you said, I think that taking advantage of this opportunity, there will be many ministers' mansions to sell outside, should I buy a mansion and keep it for myself?" ”
"My eldest brother is getting married soon. After he got married, I wanted to ask my sister-in-law to take care of the house. When I have all the properties in place, and my eldest brother is also out of office, then they will manage this Liguo Mansion. What am I still living there for? It's better to move out and live, buy a house by yourself, clean up well, feel more comfortable, and don't have so many worries. Of course, externally, all my affairs, such as the correspondence and visits between officials, weddings and funerals, I give my sister-in-law some things every year, as well as silver, and let her take care of everything for me. As for the reception officials, it is enough to have the eldest brother and cousin, and the uncle them. What do you say? ”
Xiao Rui was not very happy: "Why do you want to buy a house?" I also inquired about Zeng Yukun's sister, and she was a capable one. She is a serious princess and a young lady, and she is used to dealing with these officials, and the relationship between the nobles and nobles is reasonable. It's not great to have her to help you with everything. Also, you will definitely have to control the power in the future, you will have your own staff, you will have your own ministers, they will come and go with you, come to visit you, you don't care about dealing with this, your eldest brother will help you deal with it. Isn't it good? If you don't live in the Liguo Mansion, how can they go back to the Liguo Mansion to find you? When the time comes, they will all crowd into your small house, and you will be busy receiving alone, to see if you are not tired? ”
"Besides, if you don't want to stay at home because you don't want to stay at home, you can still live in your Star Picking Building? Didn't you spend most of your previous life in the Star Picking Tower? The scenery of the Star Picking Tower is good, the aura is sufficient, everything is obeyed by you, safe, clean, even if it is me, I can't get in. How good? Why bother buying a house? ”
Xiao Rui was afraid that Qin Mingyue would have her own house, and after separating from her family, she would be used to living alone, and she didn't want to get married. Isn't his hope in vain?
Qin Mingyue was unmoved: "I understand what you said." However, I still want to have my own place. It's still not very convenient to pick up the star building. I want to see my retainers, but it is not convenient to call them. Also, I gradually have my own staff, such as my female guards, and later, my own staff. These people, I'm going to have to arrange a place for them to go. Anyway, we got a lot of silver this time, and there will be a lot of houses for sale in the capital, so if we miss this opportunity, where can we buy it? ”
"I don't go to that place very often. Most of them still live in the Star Picking Tower and the Liguo Mansion. However, the three holes of the cunning rabbit still have to operate a chassis of their own. Not only that, but I also want to use someone else's name to buy a few unobtrusive houses as a place to live in the dark line. Don't be big, just be small. ”
Xiao Rui's face softened: "If you say so, there is some truth. Don't worry, I'll help you with this. ”
Qin Mingyue smiled.
The two of them talked and laughed, and soon in the middle of the night, Xiao Rui was worried about Qin Mingyue's body, although he still wanted to continue chatting with Qin Mingyue in this quiet scenery, but he still persuaded Qin Mingyue to return to the tent to rest.
As for Dongqu, Chunyin, the Yun family sisters and Xiao Rui's guards, they were still busy carrying things.
The next day, Qin Mingyue woke up to a birdsong, and naturally Dongqu waited for her.
While freshening up, she looked at Dongqu's heavy dark circles and tiredness on her face and said, "Have you been busy all night?" Is it all sorted out? It's so hard, hurry up and find a place to rest, you don't have to serve me. Can I still freshen up and eat? ”
Dongqu helped Qin Mingyue to wash and take care of it with his hands and feet, and served Qin Mingyue for breakfast, and said: "Although we have been busy all night, those guards are all kung fu, but they work more neatly than ordinary guys. All the night's work was sorted out, and they were all carried out, put on the carriage, and escorted by the Yun family sisters to the boat. We're idle. I served the young lady first, and when the young lady had eaten, we could also go. We're not in a team with those things. We're going to the next ferry. On this journey, I also have to take a horse-drawn carriage, and I heard that it will take two days to ride in a horse-drawn carriage. When I arrived, I had time to nap in the carriage. Miss, don't worry about us. ”
Qin Mingyue could only let her.
These things were planned by Qin Mingyue and Xiao Rui before. The group quietly disembarked from Fenglingdu. Zeng Yukun and his entourage continued to move forward, but as slowly as possible. When they arrived at the next ferry, they simply stopped, saying that Xiao Rui and Qin Mingyue were infected with the wind cold, and they had to pause and recuperate before leaving. Naturally, some people put on their clothes and pretended to be their cultivation.
At this time, Qin Mingyue and Xiao Rui led people to open the treasure, quietly transported the treasure to an inconspicuous ship arranged behind, and escorted it to the capital first. Before, Xiao Rui had already traded with the money bank that cooperated with the capital and his shop, and the gold and silver would be processed into ordinary gold and silver stators by Xiao Rui's Jinlou in the capital, and Xiao Rui's Jinlou itself was engaged in the gold and silver jewelry business. A large amount of gold and silver is consumed every year. In addition, he also has mines, and every year he also sends gold and silver to various money houses in exchange for silver tickets. Therefore, it is most secure to hand over these gold and silver to Xiao Rui to deal with. Even for Qin Mingyue's more work, Xiao Rui had already given Qin Mingyue 200,000 taels of silver in advance, and the rest, when the inventory came out, the two of them would settle the accounts later. Now Qin Mingyue has money left in his hand.
Qin Mingyue, who was bulging in her pocket, followed Xiao Rui and took the rest of the people to rush from the land to the ferry where Zeng Yukun and they docked to meet.
In this way, two days later, Qin Mingyue and the others returned safely to the ferry where Zeng Yukun docked and got on the big boat dedicated to Qincha.
Next, continue sailing.
Before arriving in Yilan City, the remaining manpower of Xiao Rui Capital City, as well as the manpower replenished by the Star Picking Tower, also arrived. Even more than 20 new female guards selected by the Golden Eagle Clan in Cloud City in Ba Province were also sent.
Qin Mingyue and Xiao Rui were fully staffed again.
Qin Mingyue handed over the newly arrived female guards to the Yun family sisters to train, while she continued to practice on the boat. These two times to break the Twelve Heavenly Great Array, she also gained a lot. Especially in the formation, curse, and obscuring the heavens, she has a lot of insights.
The fleet sailed slowly, and it was supposed to take three or four days by water, but Qin Mingyue and Xiao Rui walked for seven or eight days before they slowly arrived at Yilan City.
