After Ye Play was imprisoned, the turmoil in Qiluo Lou briefly subsided for a few days.

After Ye Qiong sued several scoundrels to the yamen, he opened the door of Qiluo Building again.

However, in a few days, there was another storm that came to the door, this time it was a small official of the Terracotta Division, and he brought a few soldiers from the Terracotta Division to Qiluo Lou for a turn, and said to Steward Chen arrogantly: "This, and this, the renovation of your shop does not conform to the rules." Steward Chen is also an old man, why doesn't he know that the renovation of the shop is to submit new drawings to report to the Terracotta Division? ”

Steward Chen could only claim yes, and said with a smile: "Yes, I know, it's not easy for you to come here, drink a cup of tea and leave, I'll hand in the new drawings in a while." ”

The little official drank a cup of tea and ate dim sum for a long time before leaving, during which he brought a few soldiers like door gods guarding the door of the Qiluo Building, so frightened that the guests did not dare to come to the door, and the guests who had already come to the door also left in a hurry, and there was no guest in the Qiluo Building.

Ye Qiong listened to what Steward Chen said, and sighed in her heart.

Emperor Daliang stipulated that the matter of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the City Division, don't look at this small official, but it is really pinching the lifeblood of the people who are engaged in business in the capital, if they offend them, they will say that it is a taboo to take the name of the shop, and then say that there is a problem with the business process of the shop, which is really not to be offended.

The two had just spoken for a while, and there was movement downstairs.

Steward Chen hurriedly went downstairs to take a look, and this time it was someone from the dental shop.

The man put his hands in his hands, arched his hand with a smile, and then said, "Shopkeeper Chen, don't come to harm." I'm here to talk about the two maids you bought from us, Aya'er and her family suddenly don't want to sell people again, and want to buy Aya'er back, you see? ”

Aya'er was stunned and said, "How come?" My family is so poor that they can't open the pot, my father sold me just to save a bride price for my brother, where did they get the money to buy me back? ”

The tooth man said, "I don't know where they got the money." Steward Chen, look at this family feeling, we can't go against it, right? ”

Steward Chen frowned, he said at the time that his life experience was innocent, and the business that you and I were willing to buy, why did something suddenly happen?

Aya'er suddenly cried and wanted to kneel in front of Steward Chen, but was pulled by Juan'er, she cried and said: "Steward Chen, if I don't go back, I will starve and freeze every day when I go back, and make cattle and horses for them." They all sold me, that is, they broke off their relationship, and what did they do when they bought it back? ”

Steward Chen couldn't bear it, so he first asked Juan'er to take care of Aya'er, and then gave the tooth man a piece of silver, and asked in a low voice: "Is someone pressing your teeth in this matter?" This document is still in my possession, you are willing to buy and sell, and you are not easy to do, right? ”

The tooth man had also done several orders of business with Steward Chen, and he had a bit of friendship, he took the silver and lowered his face, and said with some indignation: "Who said it wasn't, and he smashed the signboard business." But what can be done, it is the steward of the Huaienhou Mansion who personally went to Yaxing to exert pressure, although the Huaienhou Mansion has declined, but there is still a prince's side concubine, and we are helpless. I've been here for this trip, and it seems that the other party won't give up, and he may have to come to you to make trouble, and Shopkeeper Chen should be careful. ”

Steward Chen hurriedly responded, and gave another ingot of silver before sending the tooth man away, and told Ye Qiong about it.

Ye Qiong sighed: "It should be a good thing that Wen Tingting did, Ye Play was imprisoned, so she did it herself." Aya'er, you persuade her more, so that she can calm her heart. The deed of sale is in my hands, I don't want to let go, and Aya'er's family has no way to make trouble, so if they dare to come to the door, they will take the documents and people to the yamen together. ”

Steward Chen bowed his head, admiring Ye Qiong's resoluteness in his heart, and lowered his voice and said, "Second girl, you can rest assured that Aya'er is there." But since you handed over the Qiluo Building to me, there are some things I have to say. What Qiluo Lou lacks now is still a backer, and in the business field, sometimes it is not who has a low price and good things, but who has a thick wrist in the end. ”

Ye Qiong was relieved that Steward Chen could say this truth in front of her, which also showed that he really regarded Ye Qiong as his own, so he smiled and said: "I know what you said, don't worry, when this Qiluo Building is opened, it won't let you be a steward who eats, and our time is coming." ”

Speaking of this, Ye Qiong smiled mysteriously and asked, "How is the riding costume made for Gu Congyan?" ”

Steward Chen is a smart person, so he naturally knew Ye Qiong's thoughts, and said with a relaxed smile: "It's done, and it's completely according to the girl's instructions." ”

Ye Qiong bowed: "That's fine." ”

……………………

On this day, Ye Qiong Xiumu was at home, looking at an invitation with her sister Ye Yao and her mother Xie Shi.

The invitation was sent to Qiluo Lou by Mrs. Du, saying that she liked the clothes of Qiluo Lou, but she was too busy to go out recently, so she asked Ye Qiong and Ye Yao to come to the door with a tailor to make clothes for her and her two sons, and also said that she would invite Xie Shi to go over and talk together.

Xie Shi and Ye Yao were both nervous and happy, Mrs. Du sent this invitation, in fact, she wanted to see the Ye family in a bright and bright way, and she also wanted to get along with the Ye family slowly.

Being able to send this invitation shows that Mrs. Du is satisfied with Ye Yao.

Ye Qiong only felt happy, but she was not as nervous as her aunt and sister.

Who Du Siheng married in the previous life, Ye Qiong doesn't remember very clearly, but she knows Jingzhong's evaluation of Mrs. Du.

At that time, Ye Qiong had just married into the Korean government, because she was the wife of the concubine, there was no one in her mother's family, and she was tortured by the Korean duchess all day long, and she hoped to get a mother-in-law like Mrs. Du.

It is indeed a good thing that my sister can marry Du Siheng.

Ye Qiong had a smile on her face, and was discussing with her sister and A-Niang what gifts to bring to the door that day, when Mother Feng lifted the curtain with a smile and said, "Second girl, Miss Gu is here, and now she has met Mrs. Tai and is coming here." ”

Ye Qiong was full of surprise, and said with a smile: "Why is she here, isn't she going to the polo club, the polo club is over?" As he spoke, he got up and went to greet him personally.

Before he walked out of the gate of Yulan Courtyard, he collided head-on with Gu Congyan.

Gu Congyan was wearing the red riding costume that Qiluo Lou had just made for her, and she smiled and saluted Ye Qiong first, not a boudoir salute but a sassy fist salute, she said: "I thank you in advance, if it weren't for your horseback riding costume really well, I wouldn't be able to be in such a limelight today!" ”

Ye Qiong looked at Gu Congyan with a smile. The clothes were sent directly to the house, and Gu Congyan was very satisfied and did not ask to change them, so Ye Qiong also saw Gu Congyan wearing this clothes for the first time.

In this riding costume, Ye Qiong chose the garnet red that is most worthy of Gu Congyan's temperament, and used a slightly tighter fabric, which can just outline Gu Congyan's tall figure, especially a pair of straight long legs. This fabric is slightly reflective, shining in the sun, and it looks like Gu Congyan's appearance is bright and radiant. In order not to look monotonous, Ye Qiong also made three layers of gold at the cuffs, and asked the tailor to embroider a galloping horse at the collar, which looked even more gorgeous but playful.

Ye Qiong smiled and led Gu Congyan into the door first, let Gu Congyan meet Xie Shi, and then dragged her to her room alone, served her refreshments and fruits, and then asked, "Come on, what's going on today?" ”

The smile on Gu Congyan's face never dropped, and he said with a smile: "I went out in this riding costume today, and immediately compared all the noble girls, I saw that several people's faces were green, and their words were sour, and I had a good relationship with them, so I directly asked where my clothes were made, and I helped Qiluo Lou pull a lot of business!" ”

Ye Qiong smiled and said, "Thank you so much!" ”

Gu Congyan continued: "Today, His Royal Highness the Great Prince and His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince are also here. The eldest prince doesn't love these, the fourth prince is a fun-loving one, when we play polo and divide the team, the four princes saw that the horse on my collar was interesting, and said that this means good, it means to be the first, and I divided a team. It turned out that only me and Lord Du in our team were good at equestrianism, and it would be difficult to win polo, but I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Four Princes to be so good at equestrianism, so our team won. ”

Gu Congyan said, and asked the maid who followed her to take out a brocade box, which contained two palace-made silk hairpins.

Gu Congyan personally took the brocade box and handed it to Ye Qiong, saying, "This is the lottery head of the polo club, I specially left two for you and Sister Yao, don't shirk." ”

Ye Qiong was moved in her heart, accepted the gift with a smile, and said proudly: "Since I have my credit, I will naturally not refuse." ”

Ye Qiong accepted the gift, and sighed pretending to be sad, and said, "Congyan, you treat me as a friend, and I won't hide some things from you." You also know the current situation of my Ye family, Qiluo Lou has been in turmoil recently, either there are scoundrels who come to the door to pay respect, or the soldiers and horses say that the decoration of the shop is not in accordance with the rules......"

Gu Congyan smiled and asked, "What's going on?" Someone is eyeing Qiluo Tower? ”

Ye Qiong bowed her head and said: "My father is still in prison, and the Ye family has no backer, so naturally everyone can step on it." ”

At this point, Gu Congyan patted his chest and said righteously: "What's so difficult about this." Otherwise, I'll go talk to my mother, and let her talk to my uncle. My uncle is the commander of the Soldiers and Horses, and as long as he says a word, no one will go to Qiluo Tower to make trouble. ”

Ye Qiong was moved in her heart, and said embarrassedly: "Since you are willing to help me like this, I can't accept your favor in vain." Otherwise, I'll write a document and sell part of the shares of Qiluo Building to the Gu family at a discount, but you still need to take a line from it. ”

Gu Congyan thought for a while.

She's always had a big heart, but she's not ignorant.

Buying shares is not a trivial matter, even if she has the heart to help and buy shares from her own private money, she can't hide it from her mother.

Gu Congyan is optimistic about the prospects of Qiluo Building, her riding costume is an example, originally she was still worried that her marriage would be affected by the Wen family, but after today's polo club, her family affairs will not be a problem. When she went out, she heard from her mother that she had been accosted by many noble ladies whose families were men of marriageable age.

Qiluolou has their family as a backer, it will definitely get better and better, this matter seems to be Ye Qiong's light stained by the Gu family, but in fact, it is the benefit of the Gu family, it is the best of both worlds, and my mother will not disagree.

Gu Congyan smiled and said, "Leave this matter to me, you wait for my news." But I said in advance that I would only be responsible for setting up the line, and it would be up to you whether it would work out or not, although I believed that you could move my mother. ”

Ye Qiong nodded immediately, and her eyes showed sincere gratitude: "Thank you, Congyan!" ”

Gu Congyan shook his head and said playfully: "If you thank me, make me clothes again!" ”

Ye Qiong laughed, and the two of them laughed and talked about other things, and made a mess again.

Ye Qiong's heart is slightly calm, as long as she can catch up with Gu Congyan's mother Yun, Ye Qiong will have a way to convince her.

Gu Congyan's father is now doing Zhan Shi in the Three Princes' Mansion, and his mother Yun is the younger sister of the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, the Gu family is a shareholder, I don't know how Wen Tingting will feel?
