"The capital has begun to be under martial law, and there are no less than three or five times more guards at the gate of the city than on weekdays, and it is said that there are still people from the Imperial City Division among them."

"What the hell was going on last night? Why is there such a big fire in Chang'an County? It was also on fire at about the same time. ”

"Oh, you don't even know that...... Yesterday, the Demon Sect made a big move in Chang'an County, and I heard that several official offices had been breached, and the people who died in one place were miserable. ”

"I've heard about it too, why are you saying we're okay in Ping'an County?"

"Then who knows, maybe, it will be our turn in Ping'an County in a few days."

"Don't scare me, I'll go home and clean up, go out of the city and go back to the countryside to avoid disasters."

"It's late, I can't get out now, I don't see martial law in the whole city."

"What can I do? The Demon Sect has all hit the capital, is the departure of the dynasty about to end? ”

"Shhhh

……

In the teahouse in the early morning, there was a lot of discussion, all talking about the fire in Chang'an County last night, until now, the fire in some places in Chang'an County has not been completely extinguished, and black smoke billows out in more than a dozen places, reaching into the sky, as if the country is about to die.

In the private room on the second floor of the teahouse, Xu Baizhi, the female shopkeeper of Xu Fuji, who had not been seen for a long time, was sipping tea, looking out of the window from time to time, as if she was waiting for someone.

After a cup of tea.

A reckless, blue-dressed maid climbed to the second floor of the teahouse and ran profusely sweating.

Qingque gasped for breath, her little face was flushed, and she picked up the teapot in front of her and poured it into her mouth.

"I asked you to find out the news, and I didn't let you go desperately, why did you come back like this?"

After a few breaths, Qingque said: "Miss, you don't know, the soldiers at the gate of the city are pressed by a large number of black, and those who want to go out of the city today will not be released, and those who dare to say more will be arrested, I am not fast, Miss will not see me." ”

Today, Xu Baizhi planned to go outside the city to take care of the new business, but after going out of Xu's house, the streets were full of patrolling soldiers, and it was difficult to move an inch, so Xu Baizhi knew that something was wrong, so she stopped at a teahouse to rest for a while, and asked Qingque to take a few people to the city gate to inquire about the news.

"Okay, good, my green finch is clever, but fortunately I wasn't caught." Xu Baizhi smiled, her eyes smiled into a crescent moon, and she reached out to twist the wet hair sticky on the green finch's head.

Qingque pursed her chapped lips, pulled her hair indiscriminately, and said, "Miss, I can't go out of the city these days, what are we going to do today?" ”

Xu Baizhi rubbed the teacup with the fingers of one hand, turned a circle on the mouth of the teacup, and supported her chin with the other hand, looking at the pedestrians on the street in a hurry, and sighed for a while: "It's okay, rest for a day." ”

"Rest again?" The blue finch's voice couldn't help but rise.

Rest today, rest tomorrow, always rest..... Qingque is a little nostalgic for the busy days of not touching the ground in previous years.

For some reason, this month, there are exceptionally many days off.

Qingque inquired privately, and it seemed that the young lady was ready to give up the wine merchant business in her hand completely.

This is also a way to no way, the business is not an official, and it is still a big official, and the people of the official government come to the door to harass him twice in three days, especially the Huang Shilang of the household department, who can't wait to live in the Xu Mansion in Xishui Lane.

I heard that the boss gave Huang Shilang a death order, and if he didn't get Xu Fuji back, he was dismissed.

All in all, Xu Fuji's selection as an imperial merchant is a certainty, and now six or seven out of ten shopkeepers in Xu Fuji's branches around the country have been moved by Huang Shilang and agreed to join the imperial business, if Xu Baizhi and Mrs. Xu are stubborn, I am afraid that it will provoke public anger.

The handover has always been done by the second uncle, Xu Baizhi has been a hands-off shopkeeper, and has been doing nothing for more than a month, leaving the house when she is free, finding a tea stall to sit on, and going out of the city to escape the summer if it is not good.

"Isn't it good to rest? Don't you want to go shopping? Go, go, come back later, I'll be waiting for you here. ”

Xu Baizhi really didn't understand what Qingque's little head was thinking, when she was busy in the past, she couldn't wait to shout every day that she was tired and wanted to rest, saying that her little waist was about to break, and she was finally not busy, and she was thinking about the previous days.

Qingque listened and shook his head: "I'm not going, I'm going to accompany Miss here." ”

It's not that I don't go, it's mainly that I go shopping alone, and I don't want to spend money to buy things when I like things, but it's different when I go shopping with Miss, and the money to buy things is all from Miss.

's own careful thinking, Qingque naturally won't say it.

I made up my mind not to go shopping, and stayed here to accompany Miss, Qingque drank a cup of tea, and her mouth was always idle, so she spoke: "Miss, do you think our new business can be successful?" ”

Xu Baizhi stretched out her fingertips, tapped her forehead a few times, looked at the teacup in her hand, and thought for a while before saying, "Well, it should be possible." ”

To be honest, Xu Baizhi didn't have much confidence in the new business and didn't dare to pack tickets.

Something is good, but it's new after all.

What's more, if you want to rely on this thing to create brilliance in the future, you must master the core technology.

This month, Xu Baizhi didn't do anything else, specially invited a few old vegetable farmers with decades of experience in growing vegetables, bought a farm in a secluded place outside the city, and served them with delicious food and drink, so that they could raise children and grandchildren with only one pepper seedling in their hands.

Since pepper is a new variety, there were many mistakes in the early stage of seedling breeding, but in the end it was successful.

A few days ago, Xu Baizhi went to Zhuangzi outside the city to take a look, and several yards were planted with peppers and white flowers.

"Miss, I have another question, you said that in the future, we will make a lot of money by selling chili peppers, so the little jailer will not ask for a price, right?" Qingque asked another practical question.

The chili seedlings were "gifted" by Xu Zhou, but the thing was his.

Xu Baizhi didn't speak, and took a sip of tea.

"Miss?"

"Miss, are you listening to me?"

"Miss ....."

The blue finch is good anywhere, but the mouth is a little broken.

Xu Baizhi was annoyed by the chatter, raised her hand and pinched her nose, Qingque was in pain, covered her nose and hid away: "Miss, why don't we call the little jailer to talk for a while, he is interesting." ”

“？？？”

A string of question marks popped up in Xu Baizhi's head: "Didn't you still talk about people talking about your human traffickers a few days ago?" Why have you changed your tune now? ”

Qingque squirmed and picked up the teapot: "No." ”

"Are you pregnant? Like that little jailer? Xu Baizhi suddenly laughed.

Qingque is not young, he is fifteen years old, which is the age of marriage.

Xu Baizhi still thought that she would take advantage of the past two years to find a husband for Qingque, her marriage was unhappy, and she didn't want Qingque to follow her old path.

The husband you are looking for must be the one that Qingque likes.

In the past few days, Qingque has mentioned the little jailer from time to time, Xu Baizhi saw it in her eyes, but she didn't say anything, knowing that this was a girl in Huaichun.

"Oops...... What is the young lady talking nonsense? Qingque instantly lowered his little head, his face was flushed, and he didn't dare to look directly at Xu Baizhi.

Seeing the little girl's appearance, Xu Baizhi was even more sure, so she stood up: "Let's go, it's okay today, let's go see your future husband." ”

"Huh?" Little stars sparkled in the girl's eyes.
