Zhao Qing was about to walk over.

"Qiushui Bang Xie is also a famous landscape in our Shizhou, the third sister-in-law is here for the first time, why don't you go out and take a walk......" Seeing that the face was deserted, Miao Jinyao was afraid that there would be anything more exquisite, so she was busy dragging her.

"Yes, yes, if you think it's too stuffy inside, Grandma Shen San will go out for a walk." The little maid hurriedly agreed.

Staring at the little girl's flushed face for a long time, Zhao Qing nodded.

The little maid suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

personally took the two of them to the side door hidden behind a thick banyan tree, "The third grandmother can go directly to the Thanksgiving Tower and Qiushuixuan when she goes out from here." ”

After seeing many beautiful scenery in his previous life, and living in the Pearl Tower for more than a year, Zhao Qing was not as amazing as he imagined for the autumn water pavilion, and Miao Jinyao walked slowly along the winding verandah, and unconsciously came to a tower.

“…… This is the Xu family's famous Thanksgiving Tower. Miao Jinyao introduced.

"Why is it called the Tower of Thanksgiving?" Zhao Qing asked casually.

"It is said that the ancestor of the Xu family was a scholar in a world, and inadvertently saved a fox, and then the fox changed into a human form and came back to repay the favor and married the ancestor of the Xu family...... "I have been to Qiushui Bang Pavilion, Miao Jinyao is very familiar with these allusions, "This tower was originally the nunnery of the ancestor grandmother of the Xu family, which was renovated by the younger generations and became what it is now." ”

Zhao Qing remembered the stories in his previous life.

No way?

This kind of story can also be made up.

The Xu family won't be talking too much, right?

She couldn't help but joke: "Since the ancestor is a scholar in the first realm, he also has such a powerful ancestral grandmother. How did the descendants become merchants instead? ”

Miao Jinyao covered her lips and giggled, "...... Everyone said behind their backs that this was made up by the Xu family for a gimmick! ”

The laughter alarmed several women who were admiring the flowers in front of them, and they turned their heads one after another.

"It turned out to be my cousin!" One of them, a woman wearing a garnet red brocade gown, walked over. "Did you buy an invitation?"

"My sister-in-law brought me here."

Introducing Zhao Qing's identity, Miao Jinyao pointed to the woman and introduced Zhao Qing again, "My cousin, Ling Qiu." ”

"You are the third grandmother of Shen San, who is famous in Shangheji?" Several women gathered around, "I didn't expect you to be so beautiful, it's not at all different from the rumors!" "I've been playing outside, and a few people don't know what happened in Luoxia Pavilion. I was particularly curious about Zhao Qing.

Zhao Qing smiled slightly.

Everyone exchanged a few words, and seeing that it was not early, the woman led by Zhang Luo returned to the Xia Pavilion. Ling Qiu looked at Zhao Qing and the others, "It's time for the banquet, do you want the third grandmother and cousin to go back together?" ”

Miao Jinyao's eyes lit up.

Immediately showing a hint of hesitation, she looked at Zhao Qing. Shake your head. "Cousin, let's go first, let's swim for a while." ”

Taking Miao Jinyao's hesitation into view, Zhao Qing smiled and pushed her back, "You go back with them first, and I'll go back after a while." ”

Miao Jinyao pursed her lips and shook her head vigorously.

She really wanted to go back with her cousin.

However, without Zhao Qing, she wouldn't have been able to participate in this banquet at all!

Now Zhao Qing is isolated by the Min family. How could I leave her alone?

The youngest daughter's thoughts are clearly written on her face. Zhao Qingdu was a little moved, she leaned in her ear with the help of pushing her, and teased in a low voice, "...... Go quickly, I'm different from you, and I don't want to find my mother-in-law here, so I don't need to go back so early. ”

"What did the third grandmother say!" Miao Jinyao stomped her feet and ran forward.

caught up with everyone, only to suddenly realize that he had been fooled.

Immediately hesitantly turned his head again.

Zhao Qing smiled and waved his hand at her, "...... Go ahead. The voice was quiet and soft, with an unmistakable firmness.

Seeing Miao Jinyao being dragged away by Ling Qiu, Zhao Qing shook his head with a smile.

She's so much filtered.

I really want to go around alone.

It's not fear, it's disdain.

She didn't even pay attention to Second Master Min, so how could she care about a Third Miss Min?

It's just a group of teenagers who don't know what it's like to be sad, and she's not in the mood to fight with them.

Compared with those large-scale entertaining sororities in her previous life, this small begging banquet was really not attractive to her, and it was not for the undeniable hospitality of Cui'er's master's gift of cards and clothes, she turned around and left.

Staying here, she just wanted to see the true face of Cui'er's master.

Looking back at the sparkling water, Zhao Qing slowly walked along the wooden arch bridge towards the bottom of the Thanksgiving Tower.

*****

On the Thanksgiving Tower, the lights are sorting out the information that the little maid has just sent in, and on the other hand, they are replying in a rambling manner.

“…… A total of three golden invitations were sent out at this begging banquet, thirty red invitations, and one hundred and twenty blue invitations, according to your instructions, the slightly famous ladies and talented women within the surrounding hundred miles were invited, huh, ......" While speaking, he suddenly sighed, "Grandma Shen San is also among the invitations, and she is holding a golden invitation!" ”

Blinking, blinking, and winking, the lights thought they were wrong.

That Shen San's grandmother is a noble person, and she doesn't need to use this to change her household registration at all.

What is she here to join in?

You don't want to remarry, do you?

And it's a golden invitation!

This woman really has some means.

Looking at the information in his hand, the lights looked up at his master again.

Li Ji still looked at a commercial map of the southwest region hanging on the wall as usual.

"I've been watching for half an hour, and I can still grow a flower?" muttered in his heart, and the words in the lamp's mouth went out of shape unconsciously.

"The Seventh Master chose a talented and intelligent merchant girl in the northwest region to marry those officials in the capital who were poor but had a bright future, and moisturized things silently to mix sand into Prince Lie's henchmen...... So far, 27 businesswomen have been changed their household registration and married into the capital, and the business of their parents and brothers has risen with the tide...... The merchants in the northwest were red-eyed......"

The household registration of the state of Chu is divided into four classes.

The first class is the noble family, which is the scholarly family and those big families, the second class is the good family, that is, the ordinary people, the third is the business family, as the name suggests, it is business, and the fourth class is the lowly family, that is, prostitutes, actors and officials who catch fast and work quickly.

Because Empress Taizu attaches great importance to commerce, there is not much difference between the good and commercial status of the Chu State, but it is difficult to get rid of the business status and become a noble one.

Unless the high school jinshi.

Or to the Shen family, who was blessed by the ancestors and given a noble status by Empress Taizu.

Now that there is such an opportunity to ascend to the sky in one step, it is strange that everyone is not red-eyed!

“…… I heard that you actually came to select talents personally, and this begging banquet, the lowest blue invitations were coaxed to 5,000 taels! "He muttered incessantly, and his tone was not without concern, "If it goes on like this, sooner or later it will attract the attention of Prince Lie, and once he catches the handle...... The consequences will be unimaginable! ”

Changing your business citizenship without permission is a big crime of killing your head!

“…… Really? ”

Li Ji raised his eyebrows.

Mixing sand for the second brother's camp?

That's not what he had in mind at all.

has held a banquet for three consecutive years, and he is just looking for her! (To be continued.) )
