poison king

Chapter 43 (43)
"Go to your room and let these women talk!" Situ Ao stood up.

"But my son-in-law didn't bring any chess pieces."

"It's okay, just ask the boss to borrow a pair." Situ Ao said so, but as soon as he arrived at Xia Houxuan's room, he said straight to the point: "Du Juan is also my daughter now, you have to treat her well in the future."

"My son-in-law must treat them both well."

"I know you're a nice young man, but my daughter, Situ Ao, has never been a concubine. Where does this make me lose face?" Situ Ao began to attack.

"Father-in-law's meaning?" Xia Houxuan's complexion changed sourly.

"Although my daughters are all excellent, and you are also excellent, my daughter cannot be a concubine. I will give you two choices. One, if you marry Qingqing, I will not let Du Juan lay down a child. I will definitely give her If you find a good husband and son-in-law, you will not treat her badly. Second, if you marry Du Juan's wife, Qingqing will make another family for me."

Xia Houxuan immediately called him an old fox in his heart, cunning and cunning.In this way, he is bound to lose one of his ends, no matter what he chooses, it will be Situ Ao's profit, if he marries Qingqing, then Du Juan and the child will be lost.She married Du Juan, and she has been chasing Qingqing for nothing in the past few years.

"Why can't you choose? Or do you want neither of them? It doesn't matter, I won't blame you." Situ Ao smiled very treacherously.

"I choose!" Xia Houxuan gritted his teeth angrily, Qingqing and Du Juan compared each other in his mind, and quickly chose the winner: "I choose Du Juan, I must let Du Juan pass through the door, and I will give her a lifetime of happiness. "

"Don't worry about this. Du Juan is my adopted daughter. This is not just talking about it. I will do what I say. My Aoshi Villa will be her future home. If you dare to bully her, you will look good. The same, Aoshi Qingqing has her, Lan'er has her, and Dujuan has it too." Situ Ao is willing to spend more money, as long as Qingqing lives happily.

"Thank you father-in-law. About welcoming the bride. I want to take Du Juan back to Xiahou's house. She is pregnant and not suitable for long-distance travel. What can I do?"

"You ask someone to bring the empty sedan chair, and I'll ask someone to bring you the dowry and the team. After entering the city, just let Du Juan get on the sedan chair." Situ Ao said, so that Du Juan would not be so tired.

"That's very good, the son-in-law will wait for his father-in-law and mother-in-law to bring the sedan chair back." At that time, Du Juan will definitely pass through the door gracefully.

"That's easy! Let's go back to my room!" Situ Ao stood up.

"Father-in-law, please." Xia Houxuan opened the door and said politely.

When the two returned to the room, Du Juan and Mrs. Situ were still chatting, and Qingqing was dozing off on the chair.

Situ Ao woke up Qingqing, and then told everyone the result of his discussion with Xia Houxuan. Qingqing was the happiest, and she said with a smile: "Great! I don't need to marry! Du Juan also congratulates you, you can marry The wind is beautiful."

###207 is back

She smiled and said, "That's great! I don't need to marry anymore! Du Juan also congratulates you, you can get married very well."

"Miss! I hope you can be happy too." Du Juan was also very excited. She never thought that she could be Xia Houxuan's wife with such a humble status.

"If you are happy, I will be very happy." The happiness that Qingqing pursues now is very simple, that is to make money and spend money.

It was only then that Xia Houxuan remembered that he hadn't had lunch yet, so he said, "Let's have a casual meal at noon, and in the evening my son-in-law will set up a banquet in the town for my father-in-law, mother-in-law and elder sister to practice."

"It's easy to say." Qingqing is in a particularly good mood at the moment.

In this way, Xia Houxuan set off home with Du Juan the next day.Qingqing also went back to Aoshi Mountain Villa with her parents and senior brothers. On the way, Qingqing would often ask Situ Ao about the secrets, and Situ Ao would often teach her some theoretical things according to the secrets.

Qingqing's kung fu has gradually improved a lot.

In the middle of the night, Situ Ao watched Qingqing practice palm techniques in an open space, and felt very relieved: "You are very hardworking."

"I just want to protect myself, I don't want to keep causing trouble to those around me."

"Qingqing, it's very gratifying for you to think of Dad like this. In fact, Dad has always wanted to find you a strong husband. In this way, you don't have to work so hard. Xia Houxuan is not a good candidate. He is too eager for quick success, and he doesn't love me. You. Mu Yanfeng was good at first, but it seems impossible now, but fortunately you have gradually matured and learned to protect yourself." He felt ashamed for not being able to find a good husband-in-law for his daughter.

"Father, it's okay. I've come all the way here. Do you think I'm the owner of the villa? I miss my sisters very much, and I want to go back to Jinzhou." She can be very strong now.

"I haven't made up my mind yet. Your second senior brother is brave but not resourceful, and your fifth senior brother is resourceful but not very good at kung fu. Dad will take charge of it for a while after he goes back. Let's test which of these guys is the most suitable. You can rest assured that you will go to Jinzhou .”

"Well, I won't drink my sister's wedding wine. I'm afraid that someone will deliberately make fun of me. I will ask someone to deliver the gift. After returning to Aoshi Villa, I will only stay for one night and then take Luanxiu away." Qingqing said, There is a shortage of people around her, and Luanxiu's arrival can just fill Du Juan's vacancy.

"Okay." Situ Ao followed her in everything.

After Qingqing returned to Aoshi Villa, she solemnly handed back the owner's token to Situ Ao, and went to find Luanxiu with her luggage on her back. She couldn't wait to go back: "Father, you are busy, I will go to Luanxiu."

"Miss Luanxiu has moved in to accompany Su Jiyun." Fifth Senior Brother said.

"She won't come with me?"

"The two of them seem to have reconciled recently, and it looks like they won't. Junior sister, you can do it for a while, and I'll ask someone to ask, so you don't have to go all this way." The fifth senior brother said, in fact, everyone loves Qingqing very much. of.

"Thank you, brother, then I'll have another sip of tea."

Qingqing sat on the chair for a while, and the maid who went to pass the message came back and said: "Miss Luanxiu said she won't go, she wants to stay, and I will help her, thank you miss."

"Then I'll go on my own, parents and brothers and sisters, take care! Don't send them away." Qingqing said and walked towards the door.

Everyone still sent her to the door, Situ Ao sighed and said: "Take care of yourself, remember to come back often."

"I will, Dad. Mom, take care of your health, anyway, it's not far away, so it's convenient for me to come back."

###208 I have a companion

"I will, Dad. Mom, take care of your health, anyway, it's not far away, so it's convenient for me to come back."

"Go!" The carriage and driver were waiting.

"Goodbye, father and mother." After Qingqing finished speaking, she climbed into the carriage...

"Sisters, I'm back!" Qingqing walked inside with big and small bags.

"My sister Qing, you are finally back!" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, if she didn't come back, the day would be turned upside down.

"What's the matter? I brought gifts for everyone, come here! Get the gifts first." On the way back, Qingqing brought gifts for everyone. According to everyone's preferences, everyone is different.Qingqing sent them one by one, and the girls were all happy.

Cai Er said: "I like this little mirror very much, thank you, Sister Qing!"

"Why are you being polite to me?"

"By the way, why didn't Du Juan come back with you?"

"Du Juan is married, and will never come back." Qingqing smiled.

"Who did you marry? Do we know each other?"

"I know it, it's Xia Houxuan. The child is pregnant, and I look envious."

"Wow! What a quick move." The sisters felt it was a pity, why didn't they act first?
Cai'er asked someone to bring over the account and said: "In the few months since you were absent, our performance has fallen by half compared to before. There is a girl who came from us who doesn't know good and evil. After marrying a rich man, she is also Opened a flower boat to compete with us for business. The boat you ordered last time was robbed by her. He paid a high price, so the boss pushed the deposit to us. That girl's name is Sunflower, and her business is similar to ours. It was carved out of the same mold, but the pity is that they are rich and powerful, and have already poached some sisters from us, and Yanlian has gone with her."

"It doesn't matter. Everyone here is grateful for Qingqing who is willing to stay. If you want to leave, I won't stay. I built a house for you all outside the city, one for each person, and sold it to you at a low price for retirement. I don't know the sunflower Can it be done?"

Qingqing's words immediately made many girls who wanted to change jobs at breakfast hesitate.

Speaking of this, Caier said: "We have already repaired the houses for the poor, and let them live in them. The houses for the sisters have also been repaired. They all have their own small yards. They are designed according to your design drawings. I took my sisters to see it, and if you didn’t tell me the price, I haven’t sold it yet.”

"A set of 100 taels, buy first and choose first, if you can't pay the full amount. You can pay in installments. You can move in with a down payment of 50 taels, and then deduct one tael every month until the deduction is exhausted." 100 taels It is equivalent to 8 yuan. If you are in a modern metropolis, you can’t even buy a toilet, but you can’t even buy it in ancient times. The same type will cost you at least 300 taels. Qingqing is for the elderly , It’s just a symbolic charge for a little money, as long as you don’t lose money.

When the sisters heard the price, they all expressed their desire to buy it: "It's so cheap! Sister Qingqing, you are so kind to us."

"Cai'er, get the account book, you can pay now, and line up one by one. After writing it down, you can go to pick up the house in the afternoon, and all the land deeds will be in your hands before tomorrow night." After finishing speaking, Qing Qing also ran over to line up , Treat everyone equally!

In less than half an hour, almost all the girls on the boat had a set, except for the newcomer, Caier told her not to worry, there were two hundred sets anyway, and there would always be hers in the future, Caier wanted a set herself, When they get old, the girls can live together and have a companion.

###209 Hardship
When they get old, the girls can live together and have a companion.

The matter of the house was settled, and everyone began to worry about the other party's business grabbing. A girl said: "What is it called Xiaoyao Pavilion, I feel sick when I hear it, but many girls have passed by, and some old customers who are greedy for new things have also gone. Miss Qing, what should I do now?"

"Write the leaflet immediately and post it tomorrow morning. We are going to start a new project."

"What project?" All the sisters were curious.

"All guests who spend more than one tael of silver can enjoy free foot bath and foot massage for three incense sticks, and we will meet you in three days. We need to prepare well in the past few days. First, we will recruit some poor women. It doesn't matter at all, as long as they can bear hardships, I guarantee that they will make a lot of money. Washing people's feet is hard work. When recruiting, you must first explain that it is best to be fully recruited before closing tonight, and then participate in the three-day training. Immediately write the recruitment information and go out to promote it to me. We will recruit 40 people first, and we will increase after we see the effect. These 40 people will have food or not. The recruitment will be handled by Fengxian, and other people will assist. Put it at the door of our restaurant, it is very popular there." Qingqing ordered.

"Yes." One girl went to get a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and the other girls stood aside waiting for Qingqing's other instructions.

"Cai'er, how many rooms are vacant now?"

"On the second floor, there are Yanniang and Ping'er. In the room for four people on the first floor, there are two vacant beds in the east wing, which are Guaner and Juxiang. In the room for seven people, there are three beds vacant, namely Moyun, Qingliu, and Lanhua. "Cai'er said.

"The other two girls in the four-person room moved upstairs and shared Yanniang's room equally. If there were not enough beds, they would be carried up. The other girls in the seven-person room also went upstairs. The four of you squeeze the bottle room. Go move now." !” Qingqing said.

These girls are very happy to be able to move to the second floor. The rooms on the second floor are bigger and more luxuriously decorated. They are all lived by red girls, so they are naturally happy.

Qingqing ordered another girl: "Yuanyang, take the girls in your room with you. You are in charge of tidying up the four-person room. After cleaning it, just leave the curtains, and move out together. Magpie, you and the girls in your room Responsible for the cleaning of the seven-person room, and only the curtains are left. Rongxi, you are responsible for buying basins, forty foot basins, and they must be of good quality. Menger, you are responsible for buying chairs, forty reclining chairs. Put [-] in the side room and ask someone to send them to the boat, and I need money to pick it up from Caier. I will contact another boat dealer in the afternoon, and I have to buy another boat, so let’s move!”

"Yes." After being lazy for several days, the girls were finally able to move their muscles and bones, and all of them started to move.

Soon the business of the Butterfly Boat started to boom again, and the guests who left slowly came back. The business of the foot bath was very good, and some people even came to the foot bath specially. After tasting the free cup of tea, many people They paid for extra time out of their own pockets, and the women who were invited made a lot of money.

The Xiaoyao Pavilion was also built according to the gourd painting, but it still failed to attract many people, and it closed in a few days. I begged Qingqing to buy her boat, but Qingqing didn't do it. She had already bought a new one, so why bother to pick it up? Someone's old boat?The new boat will be delivered in a few months!
When the days are calm, Qingqing likes to sleep lazily on the chair and bask in the winter sun on the deck, it feels very good.

Before I knew it, more than two months had passed...

###230 Not angry anymore?

Before I knew it, more than two months had passed...

This day, she was getting comfortable in the sun when she suddenly heard someone dismounting from the horse, and then a series of footsteps getting on the boat. She didn't pay attention at all, her face was still covered with a silk scarf to block the sun, and she said lazily: "Yes. What's the matter?"

"Come to find my wife."

Hearing this voice, Qingqing immediately sat up, and the silk scarf on her face fell to the ground. She looked at the man in front of her in surprise: "Mu Yanfeng! What are you doing here?"

"I said! Come to find my wife. My daughter-in-law used to be my fault. I remember it now. Let's be together again! I told my mother that she regretted it, and she also supported me to come to you." Mu Yanfeng grabbed her hand and said affectionately.

"It's a good idea! I won't go back! You think about it now, and then you forget what to do? Besides, who is your wife? I was divorced by your family long ago!" Qingqing turned her face away If it wasn't for him pulling her hands, she really wanted to turn around and leave.

"I will never forget it in the future, I promise! Besides, I never wrote you a divorce letter back then, and you never received a divorce letter, so you are still my daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, come back with me! I miss you very much. "Mu Yanfeng came here to beg for peace after hearing what his younger brother said. The younger brother asked him to say some nasty words and thicken his skin. Even a woman would be moved. I hope this trick will work.

"Now that I know I miss me, whoever slapped me almost to death before!" Qingqing was furious.
