Miao Kiki was like a faint white sarong covering her under the moonlight.

Yang Muzhong's throbbing heart was full of excitement, wanting to make himself as calm as possible, but it was difficult to do so, so he kept taking deep breaths.

"Brother Zhong, what are you going to tell me?" Miao Qiqi asked first.

Yang Muzhong's heart was still beating fast, he didn't expect that it would be such a solemn thing to give a promise, and he would be so nervous.

He took another deep breath: "I'm going to give you a promise. I will marry you. In the heavens, I wish to be a winged bird, and in the earth, I wish to be a branch, and you are the only one in this life, not taking concubines, not adding houses. You...... Would you like to? ”

After he finished speaking, his mood became even more nervous, holding his breath, lowering his head and not daring to look, or even to listen to what Miao Qiqi would say.

"Why are you looking up at me with your head down!" Miao Qiqi said softly.

Yang Muzhong looked up and saw Miao Qiqi's eyes shining with tears, he had never seen her so excited, it turned out that a promise was really not a simple sentence, a promise was like silver, a promise was a thousand gold, if Yang Qiaoyue hadn't told him, he had never thought about it.

The two looked at each other, and Miao Qiqi bowed slightly in his nervous gaze, "I'll wait for you to marry me!" ”

Seeing her nodding, the big stone in Yang Muzhong's heart finally put down, and he was relieved, and hugged her excitedly.

The next moment, he felt abrupt and rude, and quickly let go of his hand. Miao Qiqi's cheeks were red, after all, she was the woman in the boudoir, this was already her exhaustion of all her courage, and then she came back to her senses and ran away shyly. Leaving Yang Muzhong smirking happily, he didn't notice that Yang Qiaoyue came to the courtyard.

"Fourth brother, my saliva is going to fall with laughter." Yang Qiaoyue stepped forward and patted Yang Muzhong.

Yang Muzhong came back to his senses, wiped the corners of his mouth, and really thought he was drooling: "I didn't drool." ”

Yang Qiaoyue saw that the fourth brother's honesty had not changed at all, and shook her head, "I didn't say that you were really drooling, look at your beauty, it's almost over." ”

Yang Muzhong knew that the little sister liked to joke, and he didn't care, "Thank you, Seventh Sister, if you hadn't promised me, I wouldn't have cared about this, Qiqi agreed, I'll go back with you when you return to Beijing." ”

Yang Qiaoyue is not surprised by this, the fourth brother is not young, and this matter should be put on the agenda.

She took out a thousand taels of silver tickets and handed it over: "Fourth brother, this is for you." ”

"What's that?" Yang Muzhong glanced at it and saw that it was a large amount of silver tickets, so he immediately refused, "Why give me silver?" Does the fourth brother look poor? I am now a deputy thousand households of the water master, and I have a fixed monthly salary of thirteen stones. ”

Yang Qiaoyue ignored what he said, and stuffed it over: "This is the dividend that Yan County should give you in the past two years, you forgot that you and your third sister-in-law are a partnership in Nanzhuang, Yan County, and your brothers and sisters will settle accounts." ”

"This ...... At that time, I only gave you a few dozen taels, and besides, that bit of silver was not already red. Yang Muzhong still felt that there was too much silver.

"Sister Miao's family is rich, you don't want to be too shabby, you won't want to eat soft rice in the future, right?" Yang Qiaoyue said that she had stuffed the silver ticket into his hand, and did not forget to emphasize, "It's a dividend, not a silver for you." ”

Yang Muzhong held the silver ticket in his hand, his heart was warm, with this silver, he could also buy a better bride price, after all, there was no savings in the second room, and he would definitely not be able to make a decent bride price.

"Seventh sister, thank you!"

"Thank you, this is a dividend, the third sister-in-law also has it, and my aunt also has it." Yang Qiaoyue emphasized again that this is indeed the dividend that Yanxian Nanzhuang should have in recent years.

Yang Muzhong didn't feel awkward anymore, accepting this intention, it was already late, and he rushed back to the camp.

The next day, Yang Qiaoyue and Miao Qiqi went to the government to find the prefect of Duan, Tu Tao knew that he couldn't help much, so he simply didn't go with him, and went to visit the Lu family by himself.

Yang Qiaoyue went with him, it was enough for her and Miao Qiqi to go to the mansion, and things were much simpler today.

Duan Governor and the City Governor Tiju were present today, personally talked about the shipping of Suzhou Port, and re-read the documents of the imperial court and the maritime procedures.

The city immediately contacted the embargoed goods and fully coordinated.

Yang Qiaoyue seriously said the specific arrangements after that, the official documents of the imperial court will be sent to the government office recently, and they will be successfully transferred to Suzhou Port.

After finishing the affairs of the government, Yang Qiaoyue and Miao Qiqi returned to Miao's house, Yang Muzhong specially made time today and was already waiting for them at Miao's house.

"How? The prefect didn't embarrass you, did he? Yang Muzhong saw them coming back and stepped forward.

"No, it has been negotiated, and the issue of trade and embargo at the port has been resolved." Yang Qiaoyue replied casually, "If the fourth brother is busy, just tell us the name and address, and we can go by ourselves." ”

"It's okay, I told Du Si about it, and he specially asked me to assist you in handling the affairs of the treaty port."

"Well, it's okay to go over together, you have a familiar face and are easy to talk to!"

After lunch, Yang Muzhong took them to a suburban village. On the way there, Yang Qiaoyue had a general understanding of the situation of these people, most of them were from neighboring villages, the family conditions were not very good, and the water master also wanted to earn food. As long as there is a need, things are much easier.

Half an hour later, they first came to a village called Xiaokou Village, where there were a few good players Yang Muzhong was more impressed, there was no water master at the beginning because he lost the opportunity to fight with people.

"Let's go to a house called Dahu first, if he agrees, the others will basically have no problem." Yang Muzhong said.

Yang Qiaoyue has no opinion, and she is not familiar with these people.

In the distance, a lot of people were gathering in front of a house, and cursing could be heard from time to time.

Yang Muzhong casually asked someone about Dahu's family, and the villagers pointed to the place surrounded by many people: "That is, but his family is being troubled by the landlord Lao Cai, if you have something, it's best not to go over at this time." ”

"It's okay, thank you, fellow!"

Yang Muzhong looked at Yang Qiaoyue and asked what she meant, "Do you want to go over now." ”

"Go, the landlord's old wealth is nothing more than a matter of silver, and in my case, everything that can be solved with silver is nothing." Yang Qiaoyue smiled very angrily.

The house was surrounded by a crowd of people, and a rough man stood in front of the door, confronting the group.

"Big Tiger! The money you borrowed should be repaid today, and if you can't get the money, sign a deed of sale for 20 years. A bearded man with a fleshy face said arrogantly.

"The five taels of silver that I said were good, how did it become ten taels, and it was five taels when I borrowed silver to see my mother!" The tiger-headed young man said, "I already paid back five taels yesterday. ”

"That's just the silver, don't you know the rules? If you have to repay twice the amount of money you borrowed from someone else, how can you say that you have repaid the IOU you wrote yourself! A bunch of ruffians scoffed.

Among them stood a middle-aged man dressed in gold and silver, rubbing two large gold beads in his hands, grinning and showing his gold teeth.

"Big Tiger, follow me, sign the deed of sale, forget it, otherwise you will feel good when you go to the government." In prison, you old lady has no one to take care of you. ”

Dahu's face turned red with anger, and he picked up the wooden stick and wanted to do it. Before he could make a move, he was restrained by several people on the other side and pressed to the ground and rubbed.

The golden-toothed officer stepped on the big tiger's face, "I still want to do something with Lao Tzu, get him, and then take him to the yamen and let Lord Duan call the shots for us little people." ”

As he spoke, the ruffians were about to do it.

Suddenly, a laugh came: "This golden-toothed person is a little common man, I think it's almost like a bandit and a hooligan." ”

"Who! Get out of here, I'll show you what a bandit and hooligan are. Jin Yuanwai said angrily.

The onlookers hurriedly retreated, for fear of causing trouble, and everyone withdrew, leaving a few shadows, it was Yang Qiaoyue, Miao Qiqi, Yang Chengdong, and the two maids Guan Qiu Amei and Hu Si.

"Hehe, a few young shoots also want to be nosy, this looks like Jun, and it seems that he wants to have fun with his master when he sends it to the door." The gold-toothed man was obscene, looking at a few girls.

Yang Muzhong is from the military camp and it is inconvenient to do it, Hu Si didn't have such concerns, and did it directly, "Keep your mouth clean, the eldest girl and the wonderful girl are also what you can talk about!" ”

The gold-toothed officer was kicked to the ground, embarrassed, and got up with an angry face: "Don't worry about the big tiger, clean up these people for me, the woman is caught, and the disabled are disabled, and you will be given a hundred taels!" ”

When those little thugs heard a hundred taels, their eyes immediately lit up, and they rushed over to do it.

Hu Si beat a group of gangsters, it was not a piece of cake, three times five divided by two, and he beat people down, and he didn't notice that someone went around and wanted to do something to Miao Qiqi.

Yang Chengdong was about to make a move, but Yang Qiaoyue stopped him and entangled with this group of gangsters, which would definitely affect the military affairs of the fourth brother.

"I'm coming! Fourth brother, don't forget that I'm also a practitioner! ”

Yang Qiaoyue smiled, poked her eyes, patted her ears, and cut off her grandchildren's feet.

Vomit! A scream sounded in the thatched house, and the thugs who wanted to sneak up on Miao Qiqi fell to the ground with a blue face, so painful that even their screams were hoarse.

Everyone gasped and took two bites, inexplicably tight, this woman was too ruthless, as a woman, she did such a thing.

The gold-toothed member also subconsciously retracted his legs, if this kick fell on him, I am afraid that he would not want to have sex with his wife and concubine in the future.

"Who are you? Why bother with ......! The Golden Tooth didn't dare to say Lao Tzu, so he hurriedly changed his words, "My business!" ”

"Master, I know that woman, she is the head of the Miao family!" One of the gangsters said as he cowered over the Golden Fang.

"Miaojia?" The Golden Tooth member frowned, and suddenly became angry, "Master Miao, the business of your Miaojia Port has been banned by the government, and you have come to provoke me again, I'm afraid you don't even want to do the rest of the business!" ”

Before Miao Qiqi could speak, Yang Qiaoyue said first: "The rest of the business is mine, if you dare to have crooked thoughts, the next step will be you!" ”

"Who are you?" The goldtooth man shrunk his legs and asked in a muffled voice.

The thug who had just been kicked off his grandson's foot wriggled like a maggot to the outer foot of the gold-toothed man, and hissed, "Master...... I know ...... I know, she is the Yang family...... Big girl, my former master, Duan Tianba, was destroyed by her! This woman can't be messed with...... It's brutal! ”

"Miss Yang!" How could the Golden Tooth Outsider not know this name, it had already spread all over Suzhou Mansion, but I had never seen this person, and I didn't expect it to be so ruthless.

The arrogance of the Golden Tooth Officer was suddenly extinguished, and he immediately arched his hand towards Yang Qiaoyue, "It turned out to be the eldest girl, I have heard the name for a long time, I have heard the name for a long time, it was a misunderstanding just now, I hope the big girl must not take it to heart, I am really sorry for the offense." ”

He said and took out a hundred taels of silver from his pocket, "This is a little meaning, I hope the eldest girl will not dislike it, and the adults will not remember the villain's ......." ”

Yang Qiaoyue raised her eyebrows, how did the people spread her that she was notorious like this?
