the first lady

Chapter 183

"Is the boss worried that the price given by Mrs. Ben is unreasonable?" Qiao Ling'er is so shrewd, how can she not see what the boss is thinking?
The fat boss's face became a little embarrassed when the key point was hit by a word.

The man in blue's eyes fell on Qiao Ling'er. It wasn't a very stunning face, but her confidence could be seen from those eyes.

The fat boss was a little confused. The lady said so, so she would definitely be able to pay the 1000 taels, but if she sold it to the lady, wouldn't she offend the man in blue?

Qiao Ling'er looked at the man in blue fearlessly, with a sarcastic smile in her eyes, not because of what the man had done, but because she was unhappy with him.He was clearly smiling, but the smile was so false that it was disgusting to watch.

Finally, the man in blue opened his mouth first, and said calmly: "Since Madam likes it, I won't take it away."

"Thank you, my lord, for letting go." Qiao Ling'er also put on a face, and turned to Zong Zhengyi.

Zongzheng Yi knew her so well, he had already handed her the bank note in the blink of an eye.Qiao Ling'er was very happy with his understanding, smiled brightly at him, and handed over the bank note.

"Ma'am, take it, take it!" The fat boss was so happy that he had earned so much money for nothing.

The price of pearl chrysanthemums is high, and the pots are not bad, so they are not stained with soil.

Zong Zhengyi hugged the pearl chrysanthemum, while Qiao Linger hooked his arm, seemingly in a good mood.The person next to him shook his head with regret on his face, even if he had money, he couldn't just throw it away like this!

The pearl chrysanthemum was bought, and the spectators dispersed, leaving behind the man in blue with a cold face and the fat boss who hid in the corner and counted the bank notes.

"Master!" A man dressed in black appeared behind the man in blue, who looked like a subordinate dressed up.

"Let's go!" The man in blue looked at the place where Qiao Linger and Zong Zhengyi left, said something lightly, then turned and left.

The two figures, one blue and one black, were instantly submerged in the vast crowd.

"Yi, do you know how much the cultivation of this pearl chrysanthemum costs?" Qiao Ling'er glanced at the pearl chrysanthemum and asked Zongzheng Yi next to her.

Zongzheng Yi was stunned for a moment, "Ling'er, I have already paid the money, do you think it is still useful if you ask again?"

"Of course it's useful to me." Qiao Ling'er said proudly, "You answer me first, do you know?"

With a helpless smile, Zong Zhengyi replied: "Although it is difficult to cultivate pearl chrysanthemums, there are still two plants in ten years. The cost of cultivation is no more than five taels of silver, plus ten years of manual care, the maximum is no more than 80 taels."

"That is to say, the fat boss earned us 920 taels?" Qiao Ling'er didn't feel any regret when she heard it, but there was a little interest in her eyes.

"Ling'er, what do you want to do?" Zong Zhengyi saw through her thoughts at a glance.

"It's nothing, anyway, what belongs to us, how can we give it to others for free, don't you think so?" Qiao Linger didn't hide it either, the old fox had already guessed it, and she didn't intend to cheat. "But having said that, why do you carry 1000 taels of silver with you, are you not afraid that someone will snatch it?"

Zong Zhengyi replied very humorously, he said: "Go ahead and grab it, Linger, won't you bring it back for me?"

Hearing this, Qiao Ling'er blushed immediately. This guy really thinks she is his exclusive thief, doesn't he?
The two of them didn't go far. After resting for a while, Qiao Ling'er was going to go to the fat boss to "ask" for the extra 920 taels!But what this "necessary" is, everyone knows it well.

"Yi, can you tell me now, who is that man in blue?" Qiao Linger asked after she sat down in the teahouse, watching him pour tea for her.

The hand pouring tea stopped slightly, and Zong Zhengyi looked at her with some surprise.

Qiao Ling'er smiled faintly: "Don't ask me how I know, sometimes a person's performance doesn't need dialogue or behavior."

"Ling'er, you surprised me a lot." Zong Zhengyi thought that she didn't reveal anything, but she could see it. She really should say a word of admiration.

Hearing that Qiao Ling'er also immediately understood what he meant, and said a little embarrassedly: "I don't know you know him, this is just my guess." After he was surprised, he said: "That person accidentally looked at you with something wrong. , I think even if you change your face, the breath on your body should not change."

"Just because of that look in his eyes?" Zong Zhengyi asked in surprise.

"Yi, can I interpret your expression now as agreeing with what I said?" Qiao Ling'er propped herself up on the bar and looked at him, asking with a smile.

Zongzheng Yi smiled immediately, "Yes." After a pause, he said, "Two days ago, he was the one who came to negotiate on behalf of the Yi people."

"An emissary from the Yi tribe?" Qiao Linger's eyes widened, full of disbelief.

"He is the son of Rui Ping, the current patriarch of the Yi tribe, Rui Tianao." Zong Zhengyi told her to himself.

"Then why is he here?" Qiao Linger asked without thinking.

"Should... come to appreciate the chrysanthemum festival!" Zong Zhengyi gave an answer with a smile.

Qiao Ling'er's face turned dark, he regarded her as a three-year-old child, didn't he, so a man who looked mocking when he saw people from Nanwu Kingdom came to enjoy the Chrysanthemum Festival?That is definitely an international joke!

"No matter what he came for, we just need to spend this half day in peace." Zong Zhengyi saw her dark face, there was some thin sweat on her forehead, and thoughtfully wiped it for him with his sleeve.

It turned out that when Cao Cao arrived, Qiao Linger blushed because of Zong Zhengyi's actions, but he happened to see the blue figure, followed by a man in black who obviously had good martial arts skills.

Pulling Zongzhengyi's sleeve, Qiao Linger gave him a wink where no one else could see.

Zongzheng Yi looked over and saw the deep blue in his eyes, but he turned around quickly, as if he didn't see it.

"Ling'er, ignore him, eat some dim sum, the dim sum here is good." Zong Zhengyi pushed the dim sum plate in front of her.

Qiao Ling'er was not polite either, took out a piece and tasted it, then covered her mouth with her sleeve and asked, "Will he doubt your identity?"

"No problem." Zongzheng Yi smiled indifferently, but his eyes turned deep.

After resting for a while, Zong Zhengyi and Qiao Ling'er returned to the capital naturally, and on the way back, they must pass by the fat boss's flower stall, because they made 1000 taels, the fat boss's face was full of red, and he looked rich and powerful The appearance, those calculating little eyes are full of evil.

Seeing Qiao Linger and Zong Zhengyi, the fat boss pretended to invite them home for dinner, but he was naturally rejected.

Then Qiao Linger walked past the fat boss naturally, and moved her hand a little naturally. Even a master like Zong Zhengyi didn't realize how she made the move, and the 1000 tael silver ticket had already returned. In her hands, 80 taels were replaced in the arms of the boss.

In the distance, a blue figure stands in the setting sun, looking at the pair of figures shuttling through the crowd, narrowing his eyes——

Qiao Ling'er was unknowingly sent back to the Zong government, Ning Xiang didn't notice, but Jing Feng and Jing Lei are not so useless anymore.

"Young master is back?" Jingfeng asked, although it was a questioning tone, but it was absolutely sure.

After playing for a long time, Qiao Ling'er was also a little tired. She lay on the table and didn't want to move, so she gave a soft "um" casually.

Jing Feng and Jing Lei looked at this woman speechlessly, and both had the urge to strangle her to death.

"It's dangerous outside!" Jinglei squeezed out a few words between his teeth, and clenched his fists tightly, as if he would kiss her fair neck in the next moment.

"We went out in disguise." Qiao Ling'er said lightly, looking at the two identical faces, she suddenly chuckled: "Jingfeng, Jinglei, if you two stand here, don't speak, don't show anything. expression, who do you think can tell the difference?"

Originally, they were discussing the issue in a serious manner, but now that she said that, the two people's attention was distracted.

It's a puzzle, asking their puzzle.

It's just that after Qiao Ling'er asked, she saw the imperceptible sadness flashing in the eyes of the two of them, yes, it was sadness.Although it quickly restrained itself, it had already fallen into her eyes.

Judging from this appearance, Qiao Ling'er really couldn't tell who the two were, because they were too similar, just like the person in the mirror, there was no difference.But after seeing the slightly agile eyes of the two, she was able to see it.

"Guess this question, and let me know the answer if you guess it." Qiao Ling'er suddenly understood what they were thinking. Their withdrawn personalities might have something to do with their looks.

If they were real friends, if even the two brothers couldn't tell who was who, would they still be eligible?
"My lord, you...can tell the difference." The two didn't leave, and Jingfeng quickly gave her an indifferent glance and gave an answer.

"Jingfeng... If it's such an easy answer, do I need to ask you?" Qiao Linger's face turned dark. Although what he said was true, it deviated from the essence of brain teasers.

"Except for you, no one else can tell the difference." Jinglei said seriously, and the strength in his hand suddenly became tighter.

For many years, even their biological parents couldn't tell who the two of them were, which cast a shadow over their psychology.Zong Zhengyi was the first person they met who could distinguish them clearly, while Qiao Linger was the second.

It was also because of Zong Zhengyi's understanding of the two of them that they were willing to stay by his side and let him be their friend.
