The onlookers were all talking, and Qi Ning asked Handong to go back and call Zhu Xiuwen to count the tenants at the market every morning.

Zhu Xiuwen hurriedly drove the carriage to follow Han Dong, took out a pen and paper and began to count, and those who came to set up stalls rushed to register, and some onlookers who bought things also went to register. Qi Ning stipulated that each person could only rent a maximum of two stalls, so some people who wanted to pick up cheap ones had to give up.

By the end of the year, more than 50 stalls had been rented out.

Many people who can't rush to the market every day to sell things, so they rent out the days they don't need to those who come to sell local products. Most of the stalls in the city have moved outside the city, and even the son of Mrs. Wang wants to rent a stall, but fortunately, the Wu family knows him and tells Qi Ning. Qi Ning ordered the people who would not rent it to him and the Zhong family.

On the thirteenth day of the lunar month, Qi Ning was sitting on the warm kang with a book in a daze, and Han Dong hurriedly ran in: "Girl, Jing Gongzi is back, with several carriages..."

Before Han Dong finished speaking, a familiar figure came in the door and walked directly to the kang and hugged Qi Ning into his arms: "I'm back." ”

Han Dong closed the door with a red face and went out.

"Stinky man, you still know to come back. How long has it been since you didn't write to me. ”

"What letter? Didn't I write to you once a month? ”

"I received a few more at first, but I haven't received it since the fall." Qi Ning pushed Jing Su away angrily, Jing Su lost weight and his face became darker.

"That may be something went wrong on the road, I really sent a letter to the post station once a month."

"And where is the letter I wrote to you?"

"You wrote to me?" Jing Su only cared about kissing the person in his arms and said vaguely.

"Let go of me, be serious, if you don't explain the problem clearly today, I won't be able to spare you." Qi Ning was angry, pushed away the stalker, Jing Su tugged at his ear and looked at him angrily.

The two were entangled, the door was knocked a few times, and Qi Ning pushed Jing Su away: "Come in." ”

An old man in his fifties, wearing a black silk robe, walked in and saw Qi Ning kneeling down and saluting: "Old slave Jingsan, I've seen the young grandmother." ”

"Old man, please get up." Qi Ning hurriedly stood up in fright and helped her, people in this era have a clear distinction between respect and inferiority, and they kneel down at every turn, which really makes her unacceptable.

"Ning'er, he is the Jing steward I told you. Steward Jing, go and have people carry everything to the yard. ”

"Yes." Steward Jing hurriedly closed the door and exited.

Jing Su took Qi Ning's hand: "I am now a thousand households in Qing'an Mansion, and I will be stationed in the barracks south of the wharf outside the city in the future, I will send you something today, and I will go to Yamen later." After the handover over to the Yamen, I asked Master Zhou to be a matchmaker to write a marriage letter for us, and you obediently waited to be my bride. ”

"Then you won't live in the city in the future?"

"Well, I can only come back when I take a break once every ten days, Ning'er is sorry, I said I was going to resign, but ......"

"It's okay, I know you can't help yourself, but you're just outside the city, we're so close, you want me to come back secretly at night in the future."

A pretty pink beauty pushed open the door and walked in, and said with a reserved face: "Yu'er has seen Miss Qi." ”

"What are you doing in here?" Jing Su hugged Qi Ning's waist and looked at the person who came with a displeased frown.

"Everything has been carried to the courtyard, please show it to the young master." The pink figure asked, bowing his head.

"Put all the things I use daily in the west wing, and put the others in the yard first, and wait for Ning'er to arrange."

The woman glanced at Qi Ning busily, closed the door and went out.

"There's a woman! Tell me honestly who she is? Qi Ning grabbed Jing Su's ears again and crossed his waist and asked.

"She was the daughter of my mother's personal slave, and her father had been in the barracks with my father all the time. In the spring, when the housekeeper Jing met her in the countryside and took her back, her parents were beheaded because of my family's affairs, so she was left with an orphan girl to follow her grandmother in her hometown, and then her grandmother also went, and she was alone in the countryside, so she could only follow me back. ”

Jing Su gently let go of Qi Ning's hand that was pulling his ear.

"You're not going to bring it back as a concubine, are you?" Qi Ning's hair stood up, it turned out that Xiao Yunsheng was really reminding himself that day.

"Little things have learned to be jealous. Don't think about it, I only want you, and I'll be content with you. ”

"Then you let her go, I don't want her to be in my house." Qi Ning had a feeling that his own pigs had been raised, but he was being targeted by the butcher next door.

"Ning'er, listen to me, her parents were beheaded because of my family's affairs. Now that their family is alone, I can't leave her alone, if you don't like her, it's a big deal to find her a good in-law to marry. ”

"Did you say that the letter you wrote to me was handed over to her and asked her to arrange for someone to deliver it?"

"Yes, sometimes I go home and write a letter, and I ask her to hand it over to the porter, and let the porter deliver it to the inn. Do you suspect she did it? ”

"Hmm. Didn't you give her the first few letters? The letter I wrote to you was sent to the address you gave me, did she keep it without permission and not give it to you? "To say that a woman's intuition is so unreasonable and so clever.

"The first few letters were sent directly from the barracks to the post station, and later when I returned to the city for something in the city, I wrote it to you at home. It turned out that most of the people in the mansion asked me to be dismissed, and later I asked people to go to the capital to ask the original porter. Jing Su frowned, and his face was a little bad.

"Then are you going to leave this time?" Qi Ning didn't know what kind of official Qianhu was, and vaguely knew that he was probably a military attache or something.

"Don't go, the emperor has agreed to let me stay in Qing'an Mansion. The first thing I did when I came back this time was to marry you, and let you wait for me for so long, I'm sorry for you. ”

Jing Su is no longer the stuffy gourd that couldn't make a sound with three sticks, and he pulled Qi Ning affectionately with a hippie smile.

"Wait, you wait first, where is that house in your capital? Has it been sold? ”

"Little wealth fan, it is given by the royal family and cannot be sold, I have already handed over the house this time, and I usually live in the barracks outside the city in the future, Xiu Mu will come back, if you think it is small here, buy a big house." Jing Su squinted his eyes and touched his hand dishonestly.

"Hey, I thought the house was given to you, but I still have to hand it over! Boring. Qi Ning pouted and arched his head into Jing Su's arms.

"You're such a little money junkie." Jing Su pinched her nose affectionately.

"Does that one named Yu'er have a deed of sale?"

Jing Su glanced at her and said with a smile: "I seem to smell sour!" Seeing Qi Ning's unhappy face, he hurriedly hugged her: "She has been a descendant of our Jing family since her grandparents, of course she is a child of the family, of course she has a deed of sale, but she can't find it back then, and the housekeeper took her to the yamen to get one." ”

"Give it to me." Qi Ning stretched out her hand to open Jing Su's hand walking up and down, she wanted to firmly grasp all the uncontrollable hidden dangers in her hands.

"It's all in the luggage, and I'll leave it to you later. Let's go, go and see the dowry given to you by the emperor, I will stay with you tonight, and then go back to the barracks tomorrow, and then Steward Jing and Yu'er will follow you. After the New Year, we will get married. ”
