The general's wife through time

Chapter 102 Mo Ran
"Madam, I'm going to do something. You can take a look first." After getting the task, and it was a difficult task, Qin Mingzhi had to think about what to do if he was rejected. He was a little anxious, so he didn't bother Xue Tang anymore. , after saying a few words, he took the copybook and trotted up to the third floor.

Xue Tang was satisfied after sending Qin Mingzhi away.

She still couldn't get used to the weird spice smell on Qin Mingzhi. When it was far away, it smelled like cinnamon, but when it was close, it turned into smelly mandarin fish with too much cinnamon.

Some people actually like this taste!
Although she was feeling emotional, she would not intervene. Although Qin Mingzhi's surname was Qin, he was not from the General's Mansion. She would not waste her time on such unimportant people and things.

She glanced around the first floor of Ruyi Building.

Because it was still early, there were no other guests here yet.

The lobby has been cleared, and the tables, chairs and benches have been moved to the corners and placed neatly.

It should be to facilitate the passage of auction guests. Xue Tang thought.

Suddenly, her eyes stopped and fell on the door of a private room in the corner.

The place was surrounded by four or five young men and six guards. The shopkeeper Ruyilou Ma and Xiao Ma, whom he had seen before, were also there, looking like they were ready to be dispatched at any time.

Shopkeeper Ma raised his head, met Xue Tang's eyes, whispered something to the pony beside him, and walked quickly towards Xue Tang's smiling face.

He started to say hello from a distance, "Madam General, I'm really sorry for not being able to greet you from such a distance!"

Xue Tang looked back and said calmly: "It's okay, I came early."

"Madam, please come upstairs. The lounge on the third floor has been prepared. Madam, please go inside to have a rest and have some refreshments." With a signature smile on his face, Shopkeeper Ma raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation. His eyes scanned the surroundings without leaving a trace, and finally glanced at Xue Tang lightly.

That damn Qin Mingzhi promised to watch the door for him, but he ran away to nowhere in less than half a cup of tea. It was really unreliable. No wonder he was so flattering to the family master, but the family master still looked down on him.

The general's wife probably didn't hear anything, right?

Xue Tang practiced her ear skills for a while, but she was still not as good as Qin Mingyue. She heard, but not much. She only vaguely heard someone talking about the general's mansion. Now that someone found out, it was hard to listen anymore.

"Yes." She responded and walked upstairs.

In the private room.

A woman's faint and lazy voice came from behind the screen, "Uncle, I have sent someone to go through the formalities for the villa where the sound-absorbing materials are hidden. From today on, it will be the property in your name."

Great. In the future, he can avoid the eyes and ears of the Mo family and build more secret rooms. Mo Ran's people have been keeping an eye on them too closely in the past few years. Fortunately, he and Qin Mingli raised the selling price of weapons behind those people's backs. Otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to make any money. How many benefits. Pei Jian stood outside the screen, nodded and bowed, smiling so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes, "Thank you, Princess."

"Uncle, you're welcome. The Crown Princess and the Concubine are all members of the family, so please call me Ranran."

The tone of this sentence was much more pleasant than the previous sentence. Pei and Qin Yuan, who were beside Pei Jian, both felt comfortable when they heard that the crown prince's concubine was complimented by the word "Crown Princess".

"Qin Yuan, I heard that you have become the loyal bitch of the general's palace again?" Hearing this cold sarcasm, Qin Yuan froze, but had to continue to maintain the surface calm, and explained with a smile: "Princess, you I must have heard some rumors, my family has a grudge against the General’s Mansion, how can I be loyal to my enemy!”

"That's right, Crown Princess, there must be a misunderstanding here. I know that Qin Yuan's mother was suffering from tuberculosis at that time. She begged the General's Office for help in finding an imperial doctor in the capital, but the General's Office kept delaying, waiting for the imperial doctor. When he went back to his hometown, his mother had already died in pain. Later, in order to support their family, Qin Yuan had to become a bookkeeper and embarked on the road of merchants. This ruined his future. He was also a talented scholar who passed the examination at the age of twelve. ." Mrs. Pei hurriedly helped to explain. She introduced Qin Yuan to Pei Jian. Every time they did a business, she would get a hundred taels of benefits as a middleman. If Qin Yuan is kicked out, her extra money will be gone. What else will she use to go to the Taotie House to drink? !

Qin Yuan then added: "That's right. The Crown Princess must have heard from someone that the recent painting books are all fake. Quanzi went to confuse Xue Tang, all in order to get Qin Shuanyuan's seal."

"Oh, that's good. It's not easy for me to come out once, and it took a lot of trouble to meet you. Since it's a misunderstanding, I'm relieved."

After saying that, a beautiful figure behind the screen slowly stood up, and a woman next to her supported her. As the door of the secret passage opened and closed, the two quickly left.

Qin Yuan: "..."

It was a rare occasion for him to see the crown prince's concubine, and she hadn't behaved well enough to make Mo Ran look at him with admiration! Leaving now?

Ms. Pei was also puzzled. She asked Pei Jian: "Why didn't Mo Ran personally host the event this time?"

"He said he was feeling unwell and insisted on coming here just to see us. He will go back to the East Palace to recuperate."

When Mrs. Pei and Qin Yuan left the house, another woman walked out from behind the screen. She was dressed luxuriously and had a good temperament. She was Pei Jian's wife Xie. She looked at the door with a deep look and whispered to Pei Jian: "The event has been hosted by Mo Bai. He is an immature white-eyed wolf. He only cares about himself and is not close to my aunt. We must keep a low profile today. Even if we want to get involved, we have to wait until the event is over. I will go to Mo Ran to discuss how to get the money."

Pei Jian nodded, "Okay, listen to Madam."

The two walked out of the private room together, and when they opened the door, they saw Pei and Qin Yuan waiting at the door.

Pei Jian raised his hand and waved, asking the guards and servants to keep a distance, and then said coldly to Qin Yuan: "Although it is a rumor to be a bitch, you still have to show some real skills. I am not looking down on you. , but your family has not done anything that impresses me so far. If Qin Mingli can kill Qin Shuanyuan, if you can really get the property of the General's Mansion, I will give you an extra 10% of the dividends in the future. "

After all, he had offended Qin Yuan with his inappropriate words before, and it was best for their business to be done well rather than unfinished, to avoid unnecessary complications. Now that he has the conditions to freely build a secret room, he can completely expand his business. He can get a lot of benefits behind Mo Ran's back. If Qin Yuan's family is really capable, it would not be a bad idea to appease Qin Yuan. Compared with his career, that little money A piece of cake.

Qin Yuan licked his lips, bowed and said, "We will not let you down."

Now that Pei Jian is willing to give him a chance regardless of his past grudges, he has to appreciate it.

He was so angry that he had already thought about it.

It is said that the people do not fight against the officials. He is just a businessman. Even if Pei Jian does not have the East Palace behind him, he is still the Minister of the Ministry of War. He is not someone he can offend. Even if Pei Jian and the Pei family are not smart and capable, he wants to go beyond the Pei family to curry favor with Mo. Bai, it's not feasible, he can't fall out with Pei Jian, otherwise even if he dies, Pei Jian's net may not be broken.

Originally, Pei Jian did not know about the plot to obtain the property of the General's Mansion, but it was all his fault that he hurriedly approached Ms. Pei to discuss the marriage between the Wu family and the General's Mansion. As a result, Ms. Pei not only failed to help, but also leaked the secret. After this He completely realized that no matter how much he fawned over Pei, her surname was Pei or Qin. Even if she was stupid, she was still a stupid woman who favored the Pei family.

Now after Pei Jian said this, dealing with the General's Mansion became a bet condition given to him by Pei Jian. No matter what the outcome was, he could only bite the bullet and move forward.

Although the stone he lifted has not hit his feet, he now knows firsthand how difficult it is to steal from a tiger.
