Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 145
Seeing that the New Year's Eve is approaching, even though there are soldiers on both sides of Lishui, Qiongzhou City on the south bank and Huizhou City on the north bank are very lively.Although the world is not peaceful, everyone's life is full of fear.But fortunately, both armies are soldiers of Xihao's children, and there is no bad habit of harming the common people.

Therefore, there are still three or five days until the New Year's Eve, and the streets of Fucheng are still full of people and traffic.

Merchants who value profits and despise parting brought their convoys to deliver special products and food from all over the world.

The rebel army was victorious in the camp, so they were naturally happy, and soon they heard that the lord general was coming back in two days, and their morale was even higher.

Chu Qixi was thinking about how well Ding Wei treated her that day, and taking advantage of her father and brothers being busy today, she secretly brought two guards into Qiongzhou City for a stroll, planning to buy some new year gifts for Ding Wei's mother and son .

Xu Shi had a tacit understanding, and she met Fang Xin just after entering the city gate.

"Hey, sour scholar, why did you escape?"

Fang Xin also had the same idea. Thinking that Ding Wei's mother and son had just arrived, he was afraid that the food would be unsuitable, so he slipped out and thought about buying it.

Not wanting to be caught by Chu Qixi in the end, he unfolded the silk face bone fan with a swipe, and snorted coldly, "Why, are you only allowed to sneak out, so I can't go shopping in the city?"

How could Chu Qixi be frightened by him? She put her hands on her shoulders and smiled brightly, "I'm a little girl, and no one cares if I can't get out of the camp. But someone is not, do you want me to send someone back?" Give my dad a message?"

"You?" Fang Xin gritted his teeth with hatred, he really couldn't do anything about this pungent girl, "Tell me, what exactly do you want?"

"What's the matter?" Chu Qixi became more and more complacent, "I forgot to bring money when I went out today, and I need to trouble Mr. Fang to generously donate!"

"Okay, deal!" The man had to bow his head under the eaves, Fang Xin untied the purse from his waist and threw it over.

Chu Qixi took it, tilted the weight, waved her little hand, smiling like a flower.

"Enter the city!"

At this moment, the sun was rising, and the thin winter light shone on her face, making it more and more radiant. She was wearing a big red dress, as if it was lit by the sun, and Fang Xin lost his mind for a moment.After he woke up, he quickly shook his head, and before he could think about it, Chu Qixi was already urging him, "Go quickly, sour scholar."

Fang Xin was helpless, rolled his eyes and reluctantly followed.

The two of them, one handsome and the other glamorous, walked down the street generously, left the dim sum shop, and then entered the cloth shop, entering and exiting at the same time, making the passers-by on the street envious.

When a woman has money, her combat effectiveness has always been surprisingly strong.

Chu Qixi walked from the street to the end of the street, and walked in almost every shop. Fang Xin was so tired that he almost stuck out his tongue, even the two female soldiers at the back were full of trophies.

Fang Xin was really tired, seeing the sun was rising, he said, "Why don't you find a restaurant to pad your belly!"

Although Chu Qixi was not enjoying herself to the fullest, her stomach began to protest, so she agreed, "Find the most expensive and delicious food, and the girl will pay the bill today!"

Fang Xin glanced at the half-deflated purse in her hand, and really didn't have the energy to argue about who paid the bill.

The four of them quickly chose a restaurant with the best appearance and walked in. The sharp-eyed waiter enthusiastically greeted the customers, and reported the names of the dishes. Chu Qixi was dizzy, so she ordered the most expensive one as usual. Six dishes, and at the end I rewarded Xiao Er with a dime. He was so happy that Xiao Er saw that his teeth were missing, so he wiped the tabletop again and again, and then retreated.

Xu is because of the food, the restaurant lobby is very lively, there are almost no vacant tables.

Two female soldiers shared a table with a couple in ordinary clothes next to them, and ordered two bowls of noodles with meat sauce.

The end of the year is approaching, and the business of each shop is good, and the merchants who come and go are naturally making a lot of money.When you have a lot of money in your hand, if you want to discuss a business or meet a friend, you will most likely come to a restaurant.

In the seats to the left of Fang Xin and Chu Qixi sat four people who looked like businessmen, and when they talked about the recent business, everyone's faces were bright.

One of the middle-aged fat men couldn't help showing off, "I sold a carload of seafood yesterday and made a profit of 200 taels. I only made hard money by transporting it back thousands of miles. I'll have to change my career next time."

Xu, another skinny man in a padded robe, couldn't see him like this, so he joked, "Brother Cao really wants to change his career? Why don't we change it? I'll take your sea goods route, and you come to sell furs." , how can there be 300 taels a year?"

The middle-aged fat man was a little embarrassed when he heard it, and hurriedly rounded up his words, "Well, this, I'm just talking. I've been selling seafood for more than ten years, and I'm already full of seafood. I still continue to sell rotten fish and rotten shrimps." Bar."

Now, even the other two friends also laughed.

Fang Xin and Chu Qixi also heard something new. Although ordinary people are unavoidably vulgar, they are the most authentic form of life.

The young man Xu Shi got the money, and he was very attentive in serving him, and brought all the food over quickly.The first thing Chu Qixi did was to take an empty bowl, and gave some of each to the two female soldiers, Fang's confidence was shaken again.This girl actually has such a compassionate side to her subordinates, maybe she is not as savage as I saw...

Chu Qixi didn't see the probing in Fang Xin's eyes, instead, she ate and listened to the gossip at the table next to her with great interest.

The middle-aged fat man was a little annoyed at being laughed at by his friends, so he couldn't help throwing out a gossip to change the subject.

"Don't laugh at me. Speaking of which, I know an old man who sold a batch of silks and satins to Qianzhou in the first half of the month. I didn't expect to sell them all in one day. Guess why the business is so good?"

"Why?" Several friends were curious and hurriedly asked.Those who do business not only need to bear hardships and stand hard work, but the most important thing is to grasp the demand information from all over the world.After all, no one wants their goods to be backlogged in their hands, and everyone's hope is that the supply exceeds demand.

The middle-aged fat man felt that he had finally regained some face, took a sip of wine proudly, and then said mysteriously, "You don't know, half a month ago, there was a banquet in the Qianzhou government office. Anyone in Qianzhou city Rich gifts were sent to the famous houses, and my brother's silk happened to arrive two days before the banquet, and it was a fresh style, so it was sold out immediately."

"Could it be that someone in the government office got married? Otherwise, why would so many people send silk and satin materials?"

One person guessed, and the person next to him also smiled, "Maybe it's the female relative's birthday?"

But the fat man shook his head, "It's all wrong. I heard that it was the general who raised the flag of righteousness against the imperial court and held a banquet specially for his own son."

"What?" Several people couldn't believe it, and retorted, "Isn't General Gongzhi in the camp of the rebel army? I heard that he won a big victory the day before yesterday. How could he go to Qianzhou?"

The fat man became a little anxious when he saw the appearance of everyone, and he wanted to swear and swear, "Why don't you believe it? My old brother heard it with his own ears in Qianzhou City. He heard that the general had something to go back to deal with, and he didn't want to happen to meet his family members." He was intercepted and killed by a group of cavalry. The general was furious and went out to rescue a cook himself. The child born by the cook was the general's own son. I heard that the general said at the banquet that he would marry the cook as his wife. wife!"

"What!" The three friends at the same table dropped their chopsticks to the ground when they heard such explosive news, but before they were amazed, a man and a woman at the next table suddenly jumped up.

Chu Qixi's face was flushed, and she rushed to the fat merchant's side in two or three steps, grabbed his collar, and shouted, "What did you just say? Brother An is actually the son of Brother Tianbao, sister Nading..."

Perhaps because of years of martial arts practice, Chu Qixi's hands are much stronger than ordinary people.Now he was really in a hurry again, the fat merchant was strangled before he could reply and almost rolled his eyes.

Naturally, the other three couldn't just watch their friend die, so they all stepped forward to help tear him apart, "Let go, you're going to strangle him to death!"

"That's right, this girl is too domineering! Let's talk well, and you will hurt people if you come here!"

Chu Qixi was so annoyed that she stomped her feet and was about to push away a few people with her hand, but Fang Xin regained his composure and hurried forward to make a rescue.

"Miss Chu, let go and strangle him to death, you won't be able to ask anything!"

Chu Qixi didn't know if she was tired, or when she finally heard this sentence, she suddenly relaxed her hands.

The fat businessman sat down on the ground, clutched his neck and coughed vigorously. He managed to catch his breath. He almost crawled and hid behind his friend, cursing angrily, "Where did you come from, crazy woman? If you want to kill people in broad daylight, I will go to the government office to file a complaint!"

As he spoke, he raised his legs and was about to leave, but the anxious Chu Qixi pulled out his whip again, "If you don't understand what you said, you don't even think about leaving!"

"Crack!" The scarlet whip slammed violently on the pillar beside the fat merchant, scaring him so much that he squatted on the ground like a slaughtered pig and screamed incessantly.The other three merchants also hid, and the diners beside them ran faster one by one, and the diners who liked to take advantage of it took the opportunity to run out of the gate.

The old shopkeeper of the restaurant ran over with his arms outstretched, trying to persuade him, but seeing Chu Qixi's ferocious appearance, he didn't dare to take his life into it, and could only watch the entire lobby in chaos.

Fang Xin gave Chu Qixi a hard look, thinking that staying any longer might not end well, so he raised his hand and took off the jade pendant at his waist and threw it to the old shopkeeper, "Old shopkeeper, today's abruptness has ruined the store's business, this jade pendant is right It should be compensation. Our brothers and sisters will come to the door to make amends some other day!"

While talking, he pulled Chu Qixi away.Chu Qixi couldn't be bothered, she tried her best to pull her away, but she was still pulled out by Fang Xin.The two female soldiers wiped off the cold sweat from their foreheads, and hurriedly chased after them.

Fang Xin let go of Chu Qixi's arm after walking out of the three shops, and she stomped her feet angrily and shouted, "Fang, why don't you let me ask you?"

Thinking of the fat merchant's words, Fang Xin's heart was on fire, and now he tried his best to endure his anger, and replied, "If you want to ask, you should find a quiet place! Could it be that you can hear the truth if you make a big fuss in a restaurant? "

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and told the two female soldiers, "Go and wait in front of the restaurant, and report to the merchant when he sees where he is staying."

"Yes, son."
