Fenglin Tianxia – Queen with a Thousand Pets

"The inscription on the post is from the Xiao family, but the accessories in the greenhouse are marked by our Ling family." Zheng Xi said.

Without realizing it, Ling Qingyu's fingers began to knock on the edge again, and asked, "Is this Xiao Rong or Xiao Cang's idea?"

"It's Old Madam Xiao, and Old Madam Xiao in Bianjing's Xiao Mansion is still in the battle. In this plum appreciation meeting, Old Madam Xiao meant that although there is no one in the official line of the Xiao family, the collateral line is still Some forces, if they only invite these middle and low-level officials, the Xiao family’s face will not look good.” Han said, and then sighed slightly. If you don’t borrow the Xiao family’s courtyard, there will be no such troubles, but indeed, there is no Xiao family. Who cares about your Ling family?

"This is not right. Please adjust our accessories as soon as possible. All the accessories that have been on a thousand taels should be withdrawn. The quantity should not be too much. Choose some exquisite styles that Bianjing does not have and put them on. Withdraw all of them, the value is between two hundred taels and one thousand taels. Well, just leave two hundred pieces. I will pick out three sets of jewelry later. You will leave a conservatory for these three sets. Don’t mark them. The price is bid by the way that the higher price gets." Ling Qingyu said.

"Why?" Zheng Xi asked involuntarily. In this case, more than half of the accessories would have to be withdrawn.

"The jewelry you prepared is worth millions of taels of silver, right?" Seeing Han Yan nodded and Zheng Xi was still a little confused, Ling Qingyu said: "Old Madam Xiao, this is harming us. We originally intended to give some. Things go out, but if there are high-ranking officials, how dare those officials accept it? The things we put there are worth millions of taels. This is to tell people that we are fat pigs, come and slaughter them, so this time, we will change The model makes everyone think that we are just propaganda. A hundred thousand taels of silver is not a big scale. We win with ingenuity. For them, there are not many silver houses with more tricks. It will be more troublesome afterwards. Mr. Han, if anyone is kind to us, we will follow up and build a relationship."

After saying so many things in one breath, Ling Qingyu became a little panting, and hurriedly took a sip of ginseng tea from the cup.

"Han understands that Mrs. Xiao is trying to use us as scapegoats to protect her Xiao family from disasters. Let's make adjustments. Master, you should not come forward for this plum festival." Han Yan nodded. Tao.

"I know, I'll just go for fun then, and I'll rely on Brother Han." Ling Qingyu smiled, not to mention that her current body can't do the kind of exquisite entertainment, even if it can, wait, think of a key, Ling Qingyu Asked: "This time, are the male and female guests together? Or separate? Who will receive the female guests?"

"There is no specific separation. The Meilin in the Xiaojia Meiyuan is one piece. If you separate, you will definitely not be able to see all the beautiful scenery. In the past, the Xiaojia did not deliberately separate when banquets." After thinking about it, Han Mian said.

Well, that means that the current Bianjing is actually not so strict between men and women, and many women are seen on the street. This way, it is much easier to handle. Women have always liked jewelry, but they paid for it. the man! Ling Qingyu nodded and said, "Have you found the girl who introduced the accessories?"

"Well, I brought Bai Wei and the others, and a few from Hangzhou and Suzhou Yinlou. They are all familiar hands. Don't worry." Zheng Xi said. The concept of sales lady was also taught to them by Ling Qingyu. Wearing uniform clothes, she looks sweet and talkative, but she is not a very beautiful girl. She can be a model without making those female customers feel jealous and ashamed.

"Then let's go first." Han Yan stood up and said. Adjusting accessories is not a simple task. It is equivalent to re-selecting all the accessories. It must be special and not too expensive.

Xiao Mansion.

Xiao Rong hurriedly stepped into the main house and said to the maid at the entrance of the courtyard: "Miss Ruizhu, please give me a message to the old lady, Xiao Rong begs to see you."

"Da Xiao is in charge, wait a minute, I'll go back to the old lady." Ruizhu answered, drew the curtain and walked back to the main house.

"Old lady, Xiao Da is here." The room was full of excitement, and Mrs. Xiao was leaning on the soft couch, watching the little girls talk about a box of jewels from the Ling family.

"Oh?" Old Madam Xiao glanced at the door and said, "I want him to speak back."

"Yes." Ruizhu bowed, went outside, and said to Xiao Rong: "What is the old lady asking you?"

Looking at the room, Xiao Rong felt a little bitter in his heart. He pressed down what he had originally thought, and said in a loud voice, "Xiao Rong would like to ask the old lady to give a list of guests for this banquet to the old slave, so as to avoid any problems. The place in place offended the nobles." It was good to invite some middle-level officials, and the level of hospitality was also in accordance with this arrangement, but today I saw that the post was sent to the government of Zhenguo, Ningyuan Houfu, and Xiao Rong was directly scared. He came out in a cold sweat, and he understood the old lady's mind best. I was afraid that this was going to hurt the Ling's family. The young master is still in the Ling's house. Does the old lady even care about the young master? Is she still not giving up? The master's body is already like this, and she is still thinking about marrying him and having children?

After waiting for a long while, Ruizhu came out again, handed a list to Xiao Rong, and said: "The list is here, the old lady said, if you mess up this time, you don't have to come back."

"Old lady, Xiao Rong is gone, I see the sweat line on his side." Madam Li turned her head from the door and smiled at Mrs. Xiao.

"Yeah." Mrs. Xiao coldly snorted, and she was even more displeased with the old steward in her heart. If it weren't for him, how could Cang'er stay in Hangzhou and never come back? That wicked man must fight her to the end. At the beginning, the **** died and he was unwilling to marry and fill the house. The bitch's father committed treason and asked him to throw the bitch's tablet out of the ancestral hall. He refused. Now the Xiao family is targeted by the queen mother. , As long as he married another good marriage, he could avoid the past with the 100-year reputation of the Xiao family, the evildoer still refused, and only one mind was protecting Xiao Se. Well, if you don’t think about the Xiao family, let me think about it, doesn’t the queen mother just want money? The Ling family has a lot of money. Just open a silver building and bring out the goods of millions of taels of silver. With the Ling family in, what is our Xiao family?

"Ruiqin, send a post to Wang Xiang and Dong Xiang's Mansion, and Cheng Mansion." Mrs. Xiao sneered. Let me see what kind of plum banquet can be held by a merchant.

Xiao Rong took the list and went to the plum garden. Although the plum garden was owned by the Xiao family, it was still a little far away from the Xiao Mansion. After reading the list carefully on the road, Xiao Rong sighed inwardly. Old lady, you are I want to cross the Xiao family. The post I went out this time was in the name of the Xiao family. Although the accessories were all signs of the Ling family, the convener was the Xiao family after all, and it was Xiao who lost everything. The reputation of home, woman! It really is a woman!

When I arrived in Demeiyuan, Xiao Rong was stunned when the familiar Ling's servants at the door had been coming and going. They were not all set up. What did they move around? After asking the guard at the door, Xiao Rong went to the greenhouse to look for Han Mian.

This conservatory is the most exquisitely furnished conservatory, but the hundreds of ornaments originally placed in it have disappeared, only three counters have been replaced.

"Mr. Han? What are you guys?" Xiao Rong asked with the list in his hand, looking left and right.

"We have made adjustments and are rearranging them." Han Yan smiled. He wasn't sure what role Xiao Rong and Xiao Cang played in such a vicious idea. If they also had a part in this matter, then he would have to reconsider the layout of the Ling family in the north. Now Xiao Rong knew too much.

"Hey, I came to you for this. You see, this is the guest that the old lady invited privately." Xiao Rong sighed and handed the list to Han Mian.

After reading the list, Han Mian’s first feeling was to withdraw the plum feast, and let the Xiao family eat the evil fruit by themselves, but after thinking about it, the news has been revealed to some officials who are beginning to make contact. If not, It's not good either. He endured his breath and said, "I don't know what the Xiao family means?"

"Mr. Han, don't get me wrong. I know about this. Our master doesn't even know it. It's all the old lady's idea. Mr. Han, I don't have any objection if you want to cancel it. In short, this matter is the Xiao family's fault." Rong sighed.

Hearing what he said, Han Nian's expression was slightly better, and he groaned for a while, and said, "I'm going back to discuss this matter with the head of the house, but Xiao Da is in charge. We don't need to let your family grow up this time. Madam knows, and to ensure safety, we have completely closed the plum garden these few days."

Ling Qingyu here? Xiao Rong breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Naturally, this is the case. Mr. Han can rest assured that he will not let the old lady know about it." First remove the old lady's eyes and ears, the old ladies who succeeded less than failed!

********

Bird's nest is a good thing, but eating it every day will make it tasteless, especially the bird's nest which is not irritating and has no taste at all, it is even more tasteful!

Ling Qingyu stared at the bird's nest in front of him, looked up at Yan San and looked at Yang Zhao pitifully, and said, "Could you change the taste? The lamb is also very tonic! Didn't Zhao say that I changed a lot of lamb? Give me some food. OK?"

Ling Qingyu had already guessed that the business in Quechang was good, but he did not expect it to be so good. Last time, the value of spice tea was estimated at about 3 million taels in Quechang, which was double the price sold in Hangzhou. The 800,000 taels of goods in Xiongzhou were exchanged for 3,000 war horses, 10,000 heads of sheep, and 300,000 taels of silver worth of fur and jewelry. The trade in Dai County was even more powerful. The goods of 1.5 million taels of silver were directly exchanged for 8,000 war horses, 100,000 heads of sheep, and a lot of fur and jewelry. Why is it called "Juduo"? That is to say, if it is changed into silver, it is estimated that there will be more than 1 million taels. . The other 700,000 taels of goods were sent to the party branch, and the 12,000 war horses were directly allocated to the past two battalions of soldiers.

Most of the sheep, Han Xian, are sold to merchants in Bianjing. Winter is the time to eat mutton, and the prices are good again. However, the price of the fur is doubled when it is shipped to Bianjing. Yang Zhao puts the fur inside. The best were kept, and Ling Qingyu made some warm clothes.

"Or, should it be ok?" Yang Zhao asked Yan San hesitantly, looking at her pitiful appearance.

"She has a deficiency of blood and energy, Shi Fang said that she can't make up too much at once, she can only eat clean and moist food." Yan San said unmoved by her.

"Then this bird's nest is also a great supplement?" Ling Qingyu pouted.

"This is specifically for lung supplementation. There is a big hole in your lung lobe, don't you want to make it up?" Yan San held the bowl in front of her, staring at her and said: "Hey, drink it." Seeing her turning his head and not drinking, he sighed : "If you drink this, go stew lamb for you."

Yang Zhao's face went black, and he said so nicely, it was not the same result!

When Han Xian and Zheng Xi came back in the evening, the stewed mutton had become a mutton hot pot.

While listening to Han Yan's situation, Ling Qingyu looked at the list carefully. This old prince of the Xiao family really valued the Ling family, the honorable servants, the Qingliu, and the powerful are all on the list. This is not for Xiao Does the family trouble themselves? The Ling family is nothing more than a new marine merchant, and it doesn't matter if it is vulgar, but the Xiao family is a descendant of the Lanling Xiao family, and they are not afraid to leave their tongues when they act like this.

"It's too late to separate the people at this time," Putting the list aside, Ling Qingyu rubbed his brows and said: "Since Mrs. Xiao doesn't care about the reputation of the Xiao family, we don't need to care so much, but if it is really these powerful people Come, it will make the officials we hire uncomfortable. This is not good. In this way, the plum viewing party can be turned into a garden party."

"Garden Party?" Zheng Xi puzzled.
