My wife has a secret

Chapter 41 Insight
If Xu Qing was standing here, he would probably be able to recognize the identity of the owner of the Exiled Immortal Tower immediately.

Because the other party was the stunning fourth lady in the backyard of the Xu Mansion, Qin Shuying.

"You have all been deceived by him."

Qin Shuying's eyes were flowing like autumn water, and her eyebrows were slightly raised, with a hint of lazy charm, "This talk of a male and female pair is just a bluff... He just wants to force the owner of the Exiled Immortal House to come forward so that he can take the initiative in the situation."

Cui Er was a little annoyed when she heard this, and said unwillingly: "Where does the young master get so many tricks? I have never seen him so smart before."

"Since ancient times, human hearts are unpredictable."

Qin Shuying asked softly: "Have all the things been arranged?"

"Don't worry, young lady. I have checked the quality of the mandala and have arranged them downstairs."

"Where are the captain and the chief of Suzhou Prefecture who were ordered to protect him?"

"The White Lotus Sect agreed to our request and promised to hold the captain for us. The captain surnamed Jiao arranged a few grooms to cause trouble. They can hold the other party back for at least an hour."

Qin Shuying's tone turned cold, like the warm summer sun losing its luster.

"Then call him up and start."

……

"Sir, can you take a look at the pattern on the stone wall? Is it so realistic that it looks fake?"

On the first floor of the Exiled Immortal Tower, the elegant shopkeeper Sun took Xu Qing to tour the carvings and paintings on the wall.

Xu Qing took a quick look and commented, "I saw these bird paintings as soon as I came in. I wonder why there is a painting of a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix on the first floor of the Exiled Immortal Tower?"

Shopkeeper Sun smiled softly and said, "Mr. Xu, the people who come to my house to shop are all women, and the items they order are generally hairpins and accessories. That's why my boss spent a lot of money to make a painting of a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix in this hall."

After hearing this, Xu Qing began to understand a little bit what Manager Sun meant.

Women often decorate their hairpins with various kinds of flying birds. The Exiled Immortal Tower does this to better attract customers so that they can choose their favorite image in advance.

"Your boss is really smart. If I were in the jewelry business, I wouldn't necessarily be better than him."

Shopkeeper Sun smiled and didn't say anything. Others who heard a few words thought Xu Qing was bragging.

Three years ago, there was no such name as the Exiled Immortal Tower. Due to a series of actions by its owner, it seemed to have risen from Suzhou in the south of the Yangtze River to the surrounding areas almost overnight.

Although no one knows this boss, it is rumored that he is from a famous family with a strong background. It is just that doing business is a somewhat lowly thing, so it is inconvenient for him to show up in public.

Some Suzhou women often imagined him as an elegant and graceful young master and painted many portraits of him in private.

But only Xu Qing himself knew that what he said was not exaggerated but came from the bottom of his heart.

Some business methods in later generations were very tricky. For example, the method of selling land proposed by Xu Qing to Prefect Xu some time ago originated from this method.

He originally thought that he had the experience and knowledge of later generations, and could lead Fatty Zhu and his gang to do business and earn a lot of money. But now it seems... these ancient businessmen are much smarter than he thought. Just the layout of this room and the means of poaching people have already been ahead of later generations for thousands of years.

The waiter who had gone upstairs earlier had returned to the lobby. After seeing his movements, Shopkeeper Sun turned around and made a gesture of invitation to Xu Qing.

"Mr. Xu, come upstairs."

This sentence caused everyone in the building to look at each other in surprise.

The owner of the Exiled Immortal Tower has been hiding his identity for many years, and today he is finally seen by Xu Qing.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. If the Exiled Immortal House fails to do well with the Red Lotus Banner Phoenix, it will probably have no chance of staying in the jewelry industry. "This way, please."

Xu Qing followed the graceful figure of Shopkeeper Sun to the fourth floor. The first few floors were mostly private rooms for entertaining distinguished guests and bedrooms for innkeepers to stay in. There was nothing surprising about them.

Yang Liu also followed behind the two of them, her skirt fluttering like a dance and her footsteps slow and firm.

"right here."

After opening a door to a tatami-style room, Shopkeeper Sun bowed slightly and said with a faint smile, "This is it. Mr. Xu, please sit here for a while. The boss will come to see you in a while."

The furnishings in the house were much more plain than those in other rooms. Apart from the straw mats, there was almost nothing else.

It's more like a secret room than a room.

Xu Qing looked around and asked in confusion, "Could the owner of the Exiled Immortal House have some Japanese blood?"

Yang Liu closed the door, her beautiful eyes wandering around, her expression half-smiley, "Don't spread what the young master said, or you'll be laughed at... This kind of room is called stacked mats, which was popular in the previous dynasty. The thickness of the mats was a symbol of status."

"Is there such a point?"

"Yes, but after the fall of the previous dynasty, this kind of stacked mats is no longer common among the people."

Xu Qing nodded and sat down on the table, crossed his legs as he pleased, raised his head and asked, "I haven't seen you talk all the way, is there something on your mind?"

Yang Liu was slightly startled, then the corners of her mouth curled up, revealing a very beautiful smile, "I was just thinking about what items to take to the young master's yard tonight, and how to divide the work with Sister Xiaohuan."

"So sensible?"

Xu Qing had a playful expression on his face. "Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of you when you come to my yard... For the next week, you will be the one warming the bed."

"Thank you, Master."

Facing Xu Qing's teasing, Yang Liu did not show the slightest discomfort on her face. Instead, she bowed and accepted it with a smile.

"I am humbled and honored to be favored by the young master, but Sister Xiaohuan must be jealous of me."

Xu Qing looked at Yang Liu and admired her mental quality in his heart. Then he cleared his throat and said slowly, "Okay, stop pretending... Is your lady still ready to see me?"

"Master...what do you mean by that?"

Yang Liu's face was filled with surprise, as if she was shocked by Xu Qing's words.

But Xu Qing could clearly feel that there was no emotion in the depths of Yang Liu's eyes.

"In fact, until this morning, I was not sure whether this series of events were caused by you four courtyards. It was not until I smelled the natural body fragrance of a woman on Xiaohuan that I understood the truth."

The surprised expression faded from Yang Liu's face, and she asked with some curiosity: "What is the truth that Master said?"

"The bodies of the four of you have a strange fragrance. Each of you has a strong aroma."

Xu Qing said: "I went in the wrong direction earlier and ignored the real purpose of your use of floral scent."

Yang Liu raised her beautiful thin eyebrows.

"Now that I think about it, you are probably using the strong floral scents of other categories to cover up the smell of Datura."
