Chapter 68 Invitation

Shao Ying didn't know when she completely changed her attitude towards Shen Qingling.Gradually, during the daily morning exercises with him, he began to allow Shen Qingling to be called his big brother just like Shao Cong, and even allowed Shen Qingling to intentionally get close.

It was agreed to leave after one month, and it became an unresolved knot in the intentional shelving of the two brothers.

At this time, Shen Qingling suddenly called Shao Ying over, and it sounded like it was a very important matter to find her, Shao Ying suddenly felt that she had a reason to stay, and the reason was very good.

"Brother can understand, I'm very happy." Shen Qingling said bluntly: "The private visit to the ghost market is to search for a grain account that fell into the hands of the Khitan people for Ren Bingyi, the magistrate of Yangzhou, and Ren Bingyi's private seal was stamped on it. Letting it go, it's not just a matter of Ren's family losing their heads."

Every grain of rice sent to the Khitan people in autumn and winter will become a knife that falls on the heads of the people at the frontier.

This is the real reason why Shen Qingling doesn't care about her own safety.

"The food account is too inconspicuous, I'm afraid it's hard to find." Shaoying walked to Shen Qingling's side, and found a map on the table in front of her, which looked like it was hand-painted, and the location was a forest.

Shen Qingling hummed, and explained: "This is the place where the ghost market will open at that time. When I came back, I took the place in the outskirts of the city, and drew out the places where there might be openings and secret passages."

In the past, Shen Qingling had heard of the treacherous and mysterious owner of the ghost market. It was rumored that he could shrink thousands of feet, travel thousands of miles at every turn, go in and out of Li Chao's various places, and control all of Li Chao's secret transactions.

The son does not talk strangely and forcefully.

Shen Qingling, who never believed in these things, only felt that the owner of the ghost market was a person who was good at manipulating rumors, and he must have several confidantes who could help him travel between places, which made his actions seem like miracles.

"What does Er Niangzi make incense powder?" Shao Ying squinted, seeing Shen Qingling packing the incense powder and putting it in his sleeve, she said euphemistically: "You will be searched when entering and leaving the ghost market, Er Niangzi should not bring these Good stuff."

Unexpectedly, Shen Qingling raised her head, blinked her eyes, and said with a smile: "I know the ghost market will search you, but don't worry, brother, they won't be able to search my things."

There are too many places to hide things on a woman's body, what's more, Shen Qingling's perfume powder is still in a soft cloth bag, which is only slightly attached to her underwear, so ordinary body searches can't find it at all.

When the two were discussing the details of sneaking in, Shao Cong was squatting at the gate of Huai'an Fang in a daze.

Yingxiu came back with a few boxes of spices to clean up the shelves. Seeing that he had nothing to do, she called him over to help, and asked, "Should Mr. Shao Erlang go to the eastern suburbs today to take care of the finishing of the restaurant? Why did you come back so early?"

Shao Cong handed the box to Yingxiu, and sighed: "You little servant girl doesn't know how to be anxious. I stroll around outside during the day, not to mention customers in the whole street, even passers-by are rare. If this continues, Second Lady I'm afraid my money will be spent."

It doesn't matter if there is no business in Huai'an Square, the little lady of the Shangguan family will send someone to bring some snacks home every now and then, and Shen Qingling never collects money, she makes big and small bags every time, delicious and delicious send off.

And the little lady of the Zhou family took the incense powder back several times, but I didn't see that she brought back any guests.

The same is true for the old man in the coffin shop next door, Shen Qingling saw that there was no junior in his family, so he simply invited him to come over for dinner!Although it is just the effort of adding a pair of chopsticks, the cost has increased after all.

Shao Cong figured it out, and at the end of the month, he told Shen Qingling that he would not be paid, anyway, he usually lived and boarded at Shen's house, so why bother to take extra money.

Yingxiu burst into laughter when she heard this, with crooked eyebrows, and said, "The second lady said, this is called maintaining the relationship between neighbors, old people and old people." She also said that the purpose of Huai'anfang is not to make small money, nor is it to make money. Ordinary people's money, so it's normal that no guests come to the door for a while."

That's right, just looking at the store in Huai'anfang, where even the powder shelves are made of mahogany, one can know that Shen Qingling's target is not ordinary people outside.

"But food, clothing, housing, and transportation all cost money, and it's too wasteful for Er Niangzi to do this." Shao Cong muttered, worrying in his heart, "A few days ago, I heard Uncle Fu say that the family's expenses have increased, and I am worried about what to do. Open source and reduce expenditure.”

The word "home" caused Yingxiu to look at Shao Cong with gentle eyes. She straightened the powder boxes in her hand one by one, and comforted him: "Don't worry, we are not all waiting for guests to come to our door."

Hearing what she said, Shao Cong was a little puzzled.

Yingxiu pouted towards the door, pointed at Kuang Yuxiang who had just come back from outside, and said, "During the day, Yuxiang would carry some ordinary face powders to the streets and sell them. Although they can't make a lot of money, they can harvest a lot every day. Not to be underestimated.”

Since she decided to stay, Kuang Yuxiang begged Shen Qingling to give herself a new name.It's just that the new name in Kuang Yuxiang's eyes is just the return of the old man to Shen Qingling.

Hearing this, Yuxiang shook the purse in her hand, and explained: "These little ladies in Yangzhou really like incense. The ones I brought out can be sold out quickly every time."

Shen Qingling had instructed Yuxiang not to make a fuss about Huai'an Square when she was selling incense powder, but just talk about the soon-to-open Huai'an Pavilion in the eastern suburbs.This also caused Mingming Yuxiang to sell out the incense powder for several days in a row, but Huai'anfang has no customers so far.

In fact, Shao Cong would be worried that Shen Qingling would not be able to offer a salary, Yingxiu could understand it, because she and Yuxiang had the same worries at the beginning.It's just useless to be anxious, after following Shen Qingling for a long time, Yingxiu gradually understood Shen Qingling's layout and gradually became normal.

"Mr. Shao Erlang is considerate of Er Niangzi, Er Mistress must be very happy to know." Yingxiu got off the high stool carefully, turned her head to take the linen cloth from Yuxiang's hand, and wiped off her footprints, "Okay , I've finished the work here, if Mr. Shao Erlang has something to do, he can take care of your work."

Shao Cong patted off some of the incense powder from his hands, said oh, and said, "Then I'll go and find Er Niangzi."

At this time, Shen Qingling was no longer at home, she took Shaoying to the tile shop in Yangzhou, hoping to find some gadgets in the tile shop that fit her vision, and also arranged for Shao Ying's outfit by the way.

The tile shop is lively and full of people.

Shen Qingling and Shao Ying walked among the crowds, they inevitably listened to some discussions.

"A few days ago, I heard that the small yamen of the Du family was closed for a long time? What kind of treason did this happen?"

"Where is it? It hasn't been released yet. It's nothing else, it's just to be angry with others. I bought a dilapidated shop for a few thousand taels, so that my family can learn a lesson."

"No, no, I heard that it was Du Xiaoya's rich beauty who smiled, but the beauty ignored him, and turned her head to follow the third son of Ren Zhizhou."
