Chapter 411
"This woman is really abnormal!" Yixuan was very repulsed by her actions, picked up the silk handkerchief in Ruoxi's hand and wiped it on her chin and cheeks.

However, Ruoxi's eyes kept following Boss Qiu's back, and she said to herself: "I never thought that Lily's history can be traced back to the time when there is no history to test, but I don't know if Boss Qiu was mischievous for a while, or it was just his nature."

"Lily? It sounds like a little girl's name, who is it?" Yixuan asked suspiciously.

Ruoxi smiled without saying a word, then heard Yixuan order Guiyuan to lock the door, Boss Qiu will not let in again!

"Boss Qiu's temperament is free and easy, and he doesn't stick to trifles. He is a rare and sharp person." Ruoxi called Guiyuan, and ordered: "Go and find out who this Boss Qiu is from. The more detailed the better."

"What are you doing asking about her?" Yixuan always felt that Boss Qiu looked at Ruoxi in a strange way, no matter what he thought, he looked like those perverts.

"I think she's a little familiar, maybe she's an old friend. Find out what you're afraid of, are you still worried that she'll eat me?" Ruoxi said with flickering eyes.

Yixuan looked at Boss Qiu's ambiguous attitude towards Ruoxi just now, and was really worried that she would take advantage of Ruoxi.Originally, he thought that only men could be described as perverts, but it turns out that women are also quite scary when they are perverted.It seems that Ruoxi is so beautiful that even women can't help but be attracted to her.

Just as he was about to say something, he heard movement below, and hurriedly looked down, it turned out that it was time for a stick of incense.The buddy took the completed works upstairs, the judges on the second floor were carefully selecting, and the people watching the fun below were discussing softly.

They have been looking at the paintings on the spot, and they have come to a conclusion in their minds, so they heard someone say: "In my opinion, Mr. Chen's bamboo paintings are lifelike and full of noble character. The poem next to it is even more profound and memorable. It’s really a rare masterpiece, a masterpiece!”

"You just stood in front of Mr. Chen and didn't move at all. How do you know that other people don't have better works?" Another person retorted, "I think Master Han's works are very good, full of Zen, and it is difficult for those who have no valleys in their hearts to draw. Come out."

"Cut! Do you still need to walk back and forth? Mr. Chen is a well-known young talent in Kyoto. He was already a scholar at the age of 13. How many people are like this in the entire Celestial Dynasty? In my opinion, the No. 1 in this second scene is not Mr. Chen." No way! I'll go out and place a bet, betting Mr. Chen by 100 taels." After saying that, he went out to place a bet.

It turned out that the outside of Kuilou was more lively than the inside.There are a few guys standing on a temporary high platform.The names of the people who have just completed the painting have been written on the wooden sign and hung high, next to their first round of couplets and poems.People can bet based on the performance of the first round, and if the bet is successful, the odds range from three to ten.As usual, the more unpopular the odds are, the higher the odds are, and the one with the highest odds right now is Han Huang.

His performance in the first round was outstanding, on par with Mr. Chen.Everyone has heard of Mr. Chen's name for a long time, but Han Huang is a dark horse that came out later.Right now, Han Huang's odds are one to ten, and several people are eager to place bets, but they dare not bet all their wealth on him, and the remaining half is bet on Mr. Chen.

Mr. Chen was still the most vocal outside. The results of the judges inside have not been announced, and outsiders can still place bets.

"This Boss Qiu really knows how to do business, I don't know how much money he will make." Ruoxi couldn't help but smile when he heard the little servant come in to report the situation outside.

"Hmph!" Yixuan replied coldly, disapproving: "Fortunately, she still knows how to behave, and didn't get the tricks of the market into it. Otherwise, the smog would really hurt the morals of scholars."

Seeing this, Ruoxi chuckled, secretly thinking that Yixuan is a cheapskate.He just made a harmless joke with him, but he couldn't let go of his grudge.

"Guiyuan, take 1000 taels to buy the eleventh brother." Ruoxi has a lot of money, and the farm's large-scale cultivation of sesame seeds is very profitable.Yixuan's sesame oil workshop is booming in business, and the demand for sesame seeds is huge, so she is not worried about sales.

Other merchants in Kyoto saw business opportunities and also wanted to squeeze sesame oil to make money.However, there are not many places in Kyoto that can grow sesame seeds, and no one will plant them on a large scale, so Ruoxi has become a favorite.Although they are husband and wife, they have to settle accounts clearly in the business field.

The price Yixuan gave Ruoxi doubled compared to last year, Ruoxi still has two shops for rent, and she is a little rich woman right now.This 1000 taels is a trivial matter to her, and it is right to support Han Huang.

The servant hurriedly took the silver ticket and went out to place bets. After a while, he came back with the receipt and replied: "The eldest concubine of Nanning Houfu bet one thousand and one hundred taels, but it was bet on Mr. Chen."

This Jia family is really childish, Ruoxi dismissed it upon hearing this.Ruoxi doesn't want to play child's games with Jia Shi, if it makes her happy to overwhelm herself, so let her go.

The judges on the second floor seemed to have no results yet, so Ruoxi waited while drinking tea.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Guiyuan went over to inquire. It turned out that Hou Jingkang brought Mrs. Jia over to visit.

Guiyuan heard that it was Nanning Hou Shizi who hurriedly opened the door, Hou Jingkang came in and saw Ruoxi and said with a smile: "I guess my sister-in-law must be there. If I knew you had booked a box, we husband and wife would just come and join in the fun, why spend money to book another one ?”

"When did you live your life so calculatedly? Could it be that he got into trouble and was restricted by Lord Hou?" Yixuan hadn't seen Hou Jingkang for several months, since Ruoxi was pregnant, he rarely even went to the shop , The entertainment between brothers is even more pushed to the ground.

Hou Jingkang was not polite either, she sat down without being moved by anyone, and even invited her daughter-in-law to sit down too.

Ruoxi glanced at Jia Shi, nodded and smiled slightly, after all, she was just a guest.She saw that Jia's complexion was very good, and she followed Hou Jingkang like a husband and wife, probably because the relationship between the two was not bad.

She went back to Han Mansion a while ago, and heard that Ruomiao went back, she was in good spirits and lived a good life.She gradually figured out Jia Shi's temper. Although he is arrogant and domineering, he dares to hate with love.Although he doesn't take human life seriously, he doesn't have the heart to hurt innocent people. He is a person with kind thoughts in his bones.

"I heard that Han Huang is sister-in-law's younger brother? There is a lot of noise outside, and the odds have already reached ten times. I didn't know that I bet Chen Gongzi just now. If I knew it, I would support it. It doesn't matter if it's money or not, it's all about me." People. The betting has stopped at this moment, and I want to express that it will never happen." Jia Shi still restrained herself in front of Hou Jingkang, and she would not lose face to him.

Ruoxi replied with a smile after hearing this: "It's okay, as long as you have the heart."

"No matter what, I'm a sister-in-law. I have to express it when I meet my elder brother. In this way, my 100 taels will become 300 taels later, and it will be regarded as a gift for the elder brother." Jia's face He smiled, but there was a flash of sarcasm in his eyes.

Yixuan frowned slightly, Hou Jingkang leaned on the chair with his legs crossed, as if he didn't hear anything.
