Volume 5 Good and Well Diameter Absolute Dust 6, Insider 1

"Most people die of greed".

Tao Lianshan is a typical example of this majority.

During the banquet, everyone is a son-in-law, voice, color, dogs, horses, which one can fall, and there are a few serious people who understand horses, and they play very clearly. There is no good pasture in the south of Daqin, and there are no good horses, and those who have money are brought over from the north. Therefore, many people immediately became interested in what Tao Lianshan brought over.

Tao Lianshan was thirsty for "wealth", how could he let go of this opportunity, and talked endlessly about raising horses, and he was bent to welcome him, and he stammered all the "big people" who asked him to inquire about horses.

There are just two complete horse idiots who have a quarrel over a Soma issue. Tao Lianshan, the old oilman, was sandwiched in the middle, and no one dared to offend him, and then he was greedy, wanting to coax the high price or even the best to earn two families' silver, so he didn't think about fighting, and blindly puffed up in the middle.

One of the young masters of the Qiu family is a well-known person who is still angry, drank some wine, made a mistake, and was unlucky with Tao Lianshan. Tao Lianshan didn't react, of course, he didn't dare to fight back, this fell out, tripped a pier, hit a few highs, and a stack of plates on it fell down with a bang, smashed him, and was injured in several places by broken porcelain.

Nian Liang gritted his teeth and said: "Looking at Tao Lianshan like an understanding person, he is also stupid." The cousin is not in trouble. Qu Zikui pulled it once, Qiu Zhai didn't pay attention to it at all, or Uncle Wang suppressed the formation, and scolded Yuan Guanming and Qiu Zhai with their seniority, and then stopped. ”

Xia Xiaoman pursed his lips and silently made a "deserved" mouth shape. The heart tells you not to think about this porcelain work, and if something happens, you are also asking for it.

"I was still in my study. Qu Zikui came to find me and called Feng Youshi's person to stop me, I'm afraid that I will make a shameless mess again. I'm just coming out. I haven't seen it yet. He glanced at her, not seeing her small movements, but seeing her expression, she thought about what she said earlier about what to do with their middleman, so she said, "This matter has nothing to do with us." Everyone at the banquet knew that Tao Lianshan was brought by Qu Zikui, and it was also recommended by Qu Zikui and everyone. ”

Little white dragons jumping up and down and ...... Horse dealers. This combination, tsk. Xia Xiaoman showed a heartless smile very unkindly.

Soon. She couldn't laugh anymore.

Nian Liang sighed slightly and said: "When I heard Wei Di's story, Yao Geng was not at the table, but it was beautiful to come back and say a few words, and Qiu Zhai's side was also relieved." If this person was there at that time, maybe there would be no such chaos. ”

Xia Xiaoman didn't say a word, and the matter of leading Yao Geng in her mind today, weighed it, and she decided decisively to turn herself in. She said it herself. It can also be selectively said that if one of the ten sentences is true, the leaders will believe it, so that no matter who enters the mouth of the year, it will not have a devastating effect.

"Hmm. At that time, I ran into that Second Master Yao in the garden. She said, "The little servant who waited left him there and the man was gone, and he got lost in the garden and couldn't get out, but I brought him out." There was a little guy on the road and he called to send him to the table. ”

Nian Liang snorted and said, "It's a loss for you to run into it." It is also to him that he is to lose, if it is a distinguished guest, will he not be lazy? These people in the family should also be restrained. ”

His tone was flat, as if he were explaining ordinary things. But she was a little uneasy, her eyes rolled, and she said: "Hey, it's nothing, is it an ordinary guest, besides, Second Master Yao mentioned in passing that this time the goods came to Meizhou by sea ship from here." It's not a regular coming-and-going. I don't see this all year round, and if you slack it, you slack it. ”

If at any time he finds out something. She can also explain that it has nothing to do with her if she told you that people came from Meizhou early in the morning.

But his focus was not there, he was stunned, turned his head to look at her seriously, and asked, "Where does the cargo go from here to the sea?" ”

She flickered in her heart and said the wrong thing?! Must make a judgment in a moment, can't be stuck, she nodded with difficulty, and said, "He said so in passing, I don't know ......"

He snorted, thinking to himself.

She looked at his face and began to change the subject, saying, "Uh...... The little guy who led the way, in fact, may not be casual and unruly, leaving the guests and running away by himself. When Xiao Wei's sister-in-law came to call me just now, someone came to report the accident, and I was afraid that Dou Xu was far away, so I told Xiao Wei's sister-in-law to take more people to watch. Later, I pondered that the little guy who led the way might have been called away at that time, so I delayed the errand of leading the way. ”

"Huh? …… Oh. He thought about his own at first, but he didn't pay attention to what she said, and only after hearing the name Dou Xuyuan did he become more careful, and finally smiled and said, "You are thoughtful, you should guard against him." ”

She just smiled with relief, but he asked again: "Then what Yao Geng said is really that the goods are going to go from Meizhou to the sea?" ”

She was suspenseful again, but she couldn't be ambiguous, and she nodded, "That's right." ”

A sarcastic smile hung on his lips, her heart began to jump to her throat, her brain was in chaos, all kinds of data were surging, the CPU occupancy rate was 100%, and she saw a crash, as a result, he said something completely irrelevant to her,—— he sneered: "What a Qu San!" Private returns. ”

=0=|||…… MD, sooner or later scared to death.

Xia Xiaoman rolled his eyes and swallowed his heart back into his stomach. Clicking his eyes, he couldn't help but ask: "Thought memory?" "What's that? Classmates, please don't speak Martian when you don't say poetry, okay......==|||

After some explanation, she understood, but she was stupid on the spot, which means smuggling.

*

"Qu's furniture is easy?" Nian Nuo was stunned for a moment.

After the banquet was over, the guests were sent away, Xia Xiaoman and Ji Qishi took a group of housekeepers and daughters-in-law to clean up the field, and Nian Nuo came to Nian's Mansion to talk privately with his younger brother about today's banquet.

Nian Liang nodded.

Nian Nuo frowned and said, "Where did the news come from?" Seriously? But before he could reply, he sighed and said, "It's no wonder." ”

She put down the teacup. When he mentioned this, he was also a little annoyed, and said: "It's not that in the seventeenth and eighteenth years, the imperial court sent Qin messengers to the coast one after another to inspect the coastal defense troubles. Then he asked him, "You should know something about it in the capital, right?" ”

Nian Liang nodded and said: "I have heard a little, but I also heard that he is going to promote Master Pan and suppress Pan today, so he will be let go to boil up his qualifications and establish some prestige, not to really investigate anything......"

"That's it. Nian Nuo sighed: "Who doesn't know that Pan Yan is going to be promoted? Along the way, the states greeted each other, and the silver flowed like water. I'm afraid I'm not sincere enough. Although the expenses on this surface are also a lot, there are several yamen stalls. Each family is only eighteen thousand taels, which is nothing. It's just that these private 'Bing Jing' and 'Guo Jing' have broken many people's family backgrounds. ”

"Haiphong is connected to the city shipping department, and the city shipping department is notoriously fat - we all know that those maritime merchants with thousands of dollars often come to stammer, how many people are hot, how can that one let go? Can Qu Yuanning not be careful? Her voice lowered, and she said, "It is said that the Qu family has paid 100,000 taels of snowflake silver these two times." In my opinion, there are more than two or three hundred thousand, which casts Qu Yuanning's lifting position like a rock. ”

This figure is equivalent to the tax revenue of a medium-sized county in the Central Plains of Great Qin, and even if you are used to seeing the officialdom and courtesy, you can't help but be moved.

Nian Nuo's voice was a little cold, and he said: "The maritime merchant is rich, and he is a knot, but he is not a fool, just eight thousand taels." Hundreds of thousands of taels, who will fill this hole with him? With this money, it is better to push others to the top, I am afraid that I can save some. She paused, and then said slowly, "I originally saw that the Qu family is still calling for wind and rain, but it is still some family background." But I never thought that it was a way to make money. ”

"There is a way. It's just bold. Nian Liang snorted and said.

Nian Nuo waved his hand and said, "You Mo Zuo, this is nothing." Along the coast, at the border gates, there are many places to go back to the land, but it is just relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft the water...... "In her heart, smuggling is a crime, but it is not a big crime. It is also an unspoken rule by default - corruption is still a crime, and how many officials are not corrupt? !

"Sister. Nian Liang stiffened his face. He said in a deep voice, "Do you know what he is going back to?" ”

"What can Meizhou produce?" She only smiled faintly.

The Qu family is not without a background. It's not brainless, since you dare to go back, you must do it well, even if everyone in the world knows about it, don't think about finding out the slightest bit of physical evidence. Without evidence, it's nothing.

Nian Liang stared at his sister's eyes and said, "Ma." ”

"Horses?!" Nian Nuo's pupils contracted suddenly, and his eyes were pitch black.

Horses do not sell Southern Xia. Violators will be decided.

"Really?" Nian Nuo asked word by word. "Don't be biased in hearsay. ”

Nian Liang hesitated. Manniang never lied to him, he believed her. Besides, Man Niang didn't even know what it meant to go on a sea boat and what it was to return to Yi, so she would never lie. It's just that this is a head-off thing, how could a shrewd businessman like Yao Geng casually talk to outsiders?

Yao Geng is cheating on Manniang? Intent to frame Qu Zikui? No, what can he do to Qu Zikui when he is a non-official or a non-official, it doesn't make sense to say this to his Manniang.

Either that...... Yao Geng didn't know who the horse was sold to, and it was unintentional to say it. Well, I don't know, otherwise Tao Lianshan would dare to come to his banquet to peddle horses!

Walk the sea boat. Horses in the north have already been sold in the north, and they can only be sold to the south of Meizhou; And just business, all the ports in the north can go, why should it be Meizhou? To the south of Meizhou, in addition to Jinzhou Port, it is Nanxia, so why do you need to take a sea boat to Jinzhou......

Only a private exchange can be fully explained. Qu Zikui is the one who pulls the fiber, and also helps with the relevant procedures.

Tao Lianshan and Yao Geng couldn't think of this?

Or is the merchant a profit-seeker who is far more daring than he can imagine?

Nian Yu finally nodded, and said, "Seriously." ”

Nian Nuo's face showed a slight disappointment, closed his eyes, sighed slowly, and said after a while: "It's a pity, I think his second mother is excellent." The age is slightly older, but the person is also much more stable and dignified, not as frizzy as the little one. - You saw it too. I also asked Mrs. Qu privately what she meant, and Mrs. Qu is also very willing to marry our family, and she also wants to pass the door early - the age is set. Just come over and ask you what you mean. If I like it, I will send a letter to my family, ask my grandparents and uncle to consider it, and if it is suitable, I will be hired, and I will be able to pass the door before the end of this year. Alas, your house here is stable, and I will be sure......"

Nian Liang fiddled with the tea cup with his fingers. He didn't raise his head, but said, "Sister." Hui Yi Horse ......"

"Alas......" Nian Nuo sighed and said, "It's a pity...... "It's useless for her to like Miss Qu Er, and it's useless to take Hui Yi seriously, she can't take this risk seriously, and she must not find a hidden danger for her younger brother."

The rest of the families are more or less ...... Not so heartwarming.

She rubbed the corners of her forehead, turned her head and asked her brother, "Are you ...... today?" Can it catch the eye? ”

Xia Xiaoman finished cleaning up the two houses. When he went back to the room, he took out the beads from the food box, locked the box, and then asked Fennel to take two carved boxes and divide them into the seeds. Nian forgive Fang just instructed, the quince to the eldest sister to put some up, no need to mention who sent it, how high-quality Yunyun, just be filial piety. She also thought about getting some for Ji Lingshu, and the little girl also liked these little snack places.

Pack up. Peel a quince and eat it, the tribute is really different, "fragrant" is just one word! Moreover, not only does she love, but even Rokujo loves it very much.

There are a lot of people today, so I didn't let the six out. I'm afraid that this guy will have a bad temper, and I can't help but tease, and if I get provoked again, it's not good to peck someone, so I'm only locked up in her room. Liujo is used to being at ease these days, being locked up in a sullen mood, and his mood is not high, Xia Xiaoman teased it and ignored it, until she took out her favorite nuts, and it looked at it with a big name. Walked over with a reluctant look. Took a sip.

According to its normal practice of being coaxed into the music after being coaxed, it should raise its noble head like a monarch. To express this "fruit is still in line with my wishes". However, this time it unexpectedly found that it was a hundred times more delicious than ordinary food, so it didn't care about "royal decency", didn't care about putting on a score, and even forgot that it was still angry, lowered its head and long beak rose and fell quickly, eating all the nuts in Xia Xiaoman's hand, and then jumped into the dish very unreservedly, stretched out his beak to peck. The husk is hard, but where can it be pecked, it gave up after a few pecks, and jumped in front of Xia Xiaoman again, and did not pretend to be a monarch anymore, and looked at her pitifully with a pair of black beads.

Xia Xiaoman laughed, today's depression swept away a lot, and when he reached out to peel the seeds, he suddenly remembered something. Because of its "Shih Tzu eyes", it is one of the best nuts to peel, and like pine nuts, she can't bite her teeth without opening the shell, not to mention hazelnuts. At the beginning, she was eating pine nuts with Grandma Jiu, and she also thought about designing a pliers to open nuts and mass-produce essential household gadgets.

Now, it can be realized, Ling Er can make gold and silverware, and it is estimated that iron will also work!

The more she thought about it, the happier she became, and she forgot the quirk in her hand, until the six dissatisfied chirps, she woke up, and hurriedly peeled a few Ren'er and threw it over to it.

The first draft of the drawings here has not been completed, and the little maid over there has come to report that the aunt and grandmother are going back. Xia Xiaoman looked at the ink on his hands, was stunned for three seconds, and hurriedly jumped up to wash his hands - MD, I was excited to paint just now, and I didn't pay attention to hygiene, but fortunately, I didn't go up with my sleeves, and I was urging tightly, and I still had time to wash my hands, and then I changed my clothes and changed my clothes, and it is estimated that the look in my eldest sister's eyes directly made her a frozen person. 》_《

That is, she was in a hurry, her hands were not cleaned, and when she presented the box to the eldest sister with both hands, the eldest sister stared at the faint ink on her finger and was stunned for three seconds.

Is it that I am stimulated today to really do my studies, or do I want to make a show to see her and her brother? Nian Nuo lowered his eyelids, waved his hand to ask someone to take the box, and then turned his head sideways to look at his younger brother, and said after a while: "Pay more attention to your body." "Get in the car and go.

Xia Xiaoman didn't know why, so he sent his eldest sister away, helped Nian Liang back to the room, and asked him, "Auntie and grandmother don't like quince?" I don't seem to be very happy......"

No, Nian Liang should know her preferences as a brother, right? Alas, if I had known that my eldest sister didn't like it, I wouldn't have given it. In fact, she doesn't care very much whether her eldest sister is happy or not, the main thing is that she feels sorry for the wandhorn - she is blind to that delicious thing......

"It's irrelevant. "It's not that the eldest sister doesn't like the zig, I'm afraid it's because of his marriage. He sighed and took her hand to look at the ink.

She withdrew her hand and said, "Ink." Didn't wash it clean. ”

"Oh. Practicing words? What was written? He asked.

"Uh......" she clicked her eyes and muttered quietly, "...... Drew a pliers......"

Belch...... He also clicked his eyes and was speechless.

Sure enough, it's not a galaxy. ⊙_⊙

*

I chatted with Mr. Fang for a long time this night before returning to the premises, and my mood was not very good, which caused something to be not harmonious after lying in bed, which made Xia Xiaoman uncomfortable.

Yao Geng's business during the day, the female boss's business. The bandit thing made her depressed. But thinking about the fruit opener for a living, her mood improved greatly, thinking that he lacked such an emotional transfer point, so even if she was unhappy, she didn't get angry with him, and she was quite cooperative. But after the incident, she turned over and got out of bed to wipe her body with water, and when she wiped with him, she was still cautious and her hands were heavier. to retaliate.

He rested, thinking about his own business, and didn't care about her little movements, but when she moved his leg, his joint hurt, and he couldn't help but "hiss".

"Your leg hurt a few times today, when Bai Yu was in the car. She rubbed his sore spot and said. "Do you want to find a doctor to take a look?"

He shook his head, remembering what Feng Youshi said, his heart sank.

…… Feng Youshi said: "...... I'm not a doctor and I don't know how to see a doctor, but it's common to walk around the rivers and lakes and break my arm and leg. There is no need to mention poisoning, so this bone grafting and detoxification is a life-saving craft. Dividing tendons and wrong bones are often practiced, and my eyes will not be wrong to see people's bones. …… The sixth master's leg, he didn't meet a good doctor, so he asked someone to pick it up in the wrong place. Ordinary doctors definitely can't see it, this bone may not be touched, but I only look at the sixth master walking a few steps. ……”

He stumbled that day, and he was unconscious, and he did not know who healed him. After waking up. I listened to them. The lady in the palace sent a royal doctor to heal him......

She threw her handkerchief in the basin and covered the tent. While calling the little maid to come in and carry the water out, he pulled the quilt and covered the two of them.

He watched as she yawned with half-closed eyes and reached out to her. Her body was soft, with a slight coolness, a pair of hands fell on his side, but she dragged the corners of the quilt and tucked it under him, the sky was already hot, she was still like this, for fear that he would freeze. His hands slid down her waist and hips all the way to her legs.

…… Feng Youshi said: "...... The sixth master can rest assured, you can remove the bones and reconnect them, apply the secret plaster, and for two months, you can walk freely. …… The sixth master can't believe me? The virtuous couple saved my life, how can the people of my generation take revenge? Let's say, Sixth Master, don't you feel uncomfortable in your legs? Am I wrong? ……”

What is the state of his legs, he knows best in his own heart.

It is said that the muscles and bones are injured for a hundred days, at first he was weak, it was difficult to sit, and it was understandable that his legs were slower, but now it has been almost four months, and his body is now very good, but this leg is still not good. Seems stronger? The crutches are not very difficult, but it hurts and swells when you walk far, and it hurts for a while when you occasionally twist and press during intercourse. The doctor came to take a look, but there was no reason, and he only said that he was weak, so he was not anxious, so he could recuperate......

"Manniang......" he kneaded in his hand and called softly.

"Hmm. She was drowsy, reached out and pulled him, and said, "Itchy." ”

He also wanted to have good legs, but ......

…… Feng Youshi said: "...... This transaction is not a loss for the sixth master, who is it sold to? Sixth Master rest assured, I have done absolutely clean in this matter, and I will not stain the sixth master at all. Regardless of whether the deal is successful or not, I will treat the leg with the sixth master first, and when the sixth master's leg is good, I will believe it, and it will not be too late to talk about it at that time. ……”

This business ......

"Manniang......" he called again.

"Hmm. Listen. She was impatient and slapped his hand again.

His hand moved to her waist and said, "On the sixth day of the new year at the latest, let's go to Yashan Villa and prepare for these two days." ”

"Huh. She agreed. Remembering that Nianshoutang was still sealed, Dou Xuyuan came again today, he hadn't said what he had done, he paused, and asked, "What about Nianshoutang?" ”

"Nianshoutang is fine. Tomorrow, I will arrange for Nian Ji to take over first, and ask him to bring a belt of Wu Camelina. Qing Sakura still helps in the name of the internal steward. …… Mr. Fang's plan, let's take a look again. He said, "Wei Kai is left at home, and Zhige also stays to help, and Mr. Fang is good for foreign affairs." Or take Wei Di away, he still understands the accounts of Yashan Villa. ”

She pursed her lips and said, "Wu Chang...... How to place? ”

He shook his head. Said: "Isn't he willing to negotiate business with medicinal herbs?" Tell him to talk. The affairs of the store are handed over, and he is in charge of foreign affairs. ”

Please, foreign affairs are the most important thing, right? She rolled her eyes, thought about it, and yes, this is a pharmacy, not a pharmaceutical factory. Retail-oriented, so let's focus on internal affairs.

There was silence for a long time. He took a deep breath and said, "Dou Xuyuan, I came to ask about the wheelchair." As you said, the Dou family wants to do wheelchair business. But also mention porcelain. ”

Well? She was quite sleepy, but now she is in good spirits. Wheelchair, delayed for a month, I don't know if there is a market. Partnering with the Dou family to make a wheelchair? Still is...... Selling drawings? The latter may not make much money. Now there are two shops in Meizhou City that can do it, just stuff some silver, don't worry about not being able to get it. The original ...... is still Wu Chang's father-in-law.

Thinking of this, she hurriedly pushed him and said, "Do you want to partner with the Dou family?" Wu Chang's father-in-law is a carpenter and can make wheelchair ......"

He was thinking about Feng Youshi's words, closed his eyes, and said, "I want to buy property." ”

Well? She was stunned for a moment. I know he's in a bad mood, but where did this property come from? If you want to marry a wife, ...... you buy a property first? She sighed, poked him in the cheek, and said for a while, "You want to open a shop and sell wheelchairs?" ”

He wanted an estate outside of Nianshoutang and Yashan Villa, an industry that he completely controlled. Even if this property is nominally counted as a Nian family. There are seventy percent dividends into the official. He needed something of his own, his own foundation and ...... Leeway. He nodded.

She thought about it for a while, and then she smoothed her thoughts before she spoke: "There is a way, these people can be used, I thought about it, maybe it is not very thorough, let's discuss it later, you can listen to it first." ”

Seeing him nod, she said, "Let's go and collect Wu Chang's father-in-law's shop." Let Wu Chang be the shopkeeper - this will take him out of the Nianshou Hall. The reason is reasonable. Then the shop only does wheelchairs. Wheelchairs are not like medicines, and when you open a shop, someone will come and buy them. In the early stage, you have to find someone to sell it...... Well, I mean, knowing who might need it, go and sell it. We are missing this tooth man now. ”

When it came to the problem of lack of people, his head was big again, and he buried his head in her neck socket.

She poked him and said, "I'm listening, then I'll continue, we don't have any teeth, so we can come out in a wheelchair and ask Dou Xuyuan to sell it - Dou Xuyuan has been making ice for so many years, and he has a complete number of people, so there must be a way to sell things, and it will be better than selling it ourselves." Let's either sell all the goods to Dou Xuyuan at the beginning, so how much silver Dou Xuyuan sells has nothing to do with us; Or Dou Xuyuan takes the goods from us to sell, and we will take a few percent of the profit from the sale, so calculated. ”

She paused and said, "The key is that in this way, we and Dou Xuyuan are not a group of people, but a relationship between sellers and buyers." Dou Xu is far from being a second-class dealer. When we have our own way, or make a reputation, we can't change the second dealer, and if you don't want to use the Dou family, you don't need the Dou family. ”

He thought about it seriously and said, "I can't think through it for a while, let me think about it." He took her into his arms, and his lips and tongue fell on her collarbone again.

She pinched the back of his neck and said, "Also, since I've said this, I still want to discuss something with you." When I went back, Miss Cousin and I each made some money, and we also set up a shop and made some small household items. ”

He paused, then hummed and said, "I said it before, whatever you want." ”

Her fruit opener, it's exciting to think about, even if it's not to make money, it's convenient to use it yourself.

"Actually, cough, I said actually, our master can do gold and jade wood carving, the craftsmanship is very good, and the fine work of carving and inlay on your wheelchair can also be handed over to him to do. She made a rough calculation in her mind and said: "If this piece is stripped out, it is equivalent to outsourcing, the cost is high, the profit is less, and the land money to the Beijing government is less." In fact, this cost is the profit of our small shop, and in the final analysis, it is still in our hands. Inside and outside, that is, when we share dividends with the officials in Beijing, we have a lot. ”

He listened to her tongue twister like a calculating, raised his head and sneered, pecked her in the face, and said, "The housekeeper is more and more calculating." Since you said that it is your fat powder money, it is yours, and you get more or less. ”

He laughed out loud for the first time that night, and his heart opened up a lot. can think about the future of things, and it will be boring in the end. At the end, he sighed and said, "Man Niang, that bead, since Feng Youshi thanked you for saving your life, you can keep it." It is also not necessary to enter the official account. …… Add some jewelry powder with you. If you want to make capital, you can ...... it."

She stared into his eyes for a long moment, then hummed softly. In the future......

He has a wife. She has silver.

It's good. With the capital, she can open a shop, make boxes, and make pliers......

ps: I'm sorry, but it's not only dark, but it's ...... After a while, it is estimated that the sky will be bright...... Sweat ......

It's stuck, and it turns out that I write a lot more, and I don't want to cut it, so I send it in one go. ==

At this point today, I don't think I can write a few more words, so I want to say...... Tomorrow's update won't be too soon...... Besides, I don't dare to say that it's dark or dawn...... Negative character, extremely unreliable, wiping tears...... (←, Lottery Declaration)

, this is fate, crying, why am I stepping on a little bit of life......

Shed tears and crawl away .........
