Chapter 87 Talking about business

"That's all the old man's calendar. Now my sister is probably the only one in my family who thinks this way." Fang Ningmo smiled, revealing two small tiger teeth, and said in a low voice, "My grandfather and father agreed to my coming this time. You are I don’t know how much my grandfather likes you. He said that you have a bright mind, a good understanding of reading, you can understand everything, and you are a diligent person. If you weren’t a girl, he would have wanted to accept you as a closed disciple. Dad, ever since I saw you I learned about the algorithm you wrote, and what you were teaching recently...the problem of water flowing in and out of the canal at the same time. I was stunned, saying that it could be integrated into the water conservancy dam. If it weren't for the concern about men and women. Da Fang, you’ve been busy with the soap thing, and he’s been wanting to visit you for a long time. Why don’t you send me to take the lead?”

Xu Qingying still feels a little guilty about Fang Ruyu. Fang Ruyu is a bit old-fashioned and dogmatic, but she is not a bad person. Last time, she used her to make a raft out of nowhere in order to get the supplies back. Fang Ruyu must have been unwilling to forgive her. .

Xu Qingying asked: "Where is your sister, do you still study all day long?"

"No. During the day, I only read books during the day, and I'm almost a nerd." Fang Ningmo couldn't say bad things about her sister. In front of Fang Ruyu, Fang Ningmo didn't dare to express her anger, just like meeting her teaching mother. .

But in front of Xu Qingying, she relaxed a lot and was a little more open-minded than before.

"As the imperial edict to break off the engagement persists, my sister will continue to be the second prince's concubine. But now that the government is in such chaos, and the little emperor is young, Uncle Zhu Guo may not be able to remember that there is such a marriage. This is unreasonable. Things can only happen in this dynasty." Fang Ruyu sighed, "My sister... she can't help it. After all, with such a title, you have to follow the rules in everything. If she behaves inappropriately, she will be implicated in the consequences. Or our entire Fang family."

Xu Qingying naturally did not take these words seriously. It seemed that Fang Ruyu was still vaguely looking forward to the second prince coming to pick her up and go to Qiongzhou.

How can this life of exile be as good as the life of being a royal concubine?
It's just that, even if a woman who had been exiled married the second prince as she wished, she would be criticized.

Can Fang Ruyu really hold up her temper?

"In short, my sister is my sister, and I am me. Although my sister criticized you because of what happened last time, in her eyes, you are just a country girl who is a little smart but doesn't know etiquette and dignity." Fang Ningmo said in a low voice. With a smile, she bumped Xu Qingying's shoulder, "But don't worry, most of the girls in Bianjing City are vulgar in the eyes of my sister. She wishes she could use a ruler to be a nun. Don't say you are afraid of her, we There is no one in the family who is not afraid of her."

Xu Qingying laughed and briefly extracted from Fang Ningmo's words.

Fang Ruyu is old-fashioned and pedantic but not a bad person.

For a free-spirited person like her, being together with Fang Ruyu would be like a volcano hitting the earth, and they would inevitably dislike each other.

So Xu Qingying decided that if she saw Fang Ruyu avoiding her in the future, if such a beautiful little girl was made angry by her and cried, she would be a sinner.

"Xu Liu, no matter what, you must take me with you today." Fang Ningmo shook Xu Qingying's arm and acted rogue.

The second daughter of the Fang family, who was able to move forward and retreat appropriately in Bianjing City without making any mistakes in the rules, now learned to laugh and curse.

Xu Qingying smiled: "It's okay to take you with me, but you have to promise me to listen more, watch more and talk less on the way. The entire operation will be under my command."

Fang Ningmo nodded immediately, smiling brightly, "Okay, I promise to listen to you, Miss Xu Liu!"

"Also, my affairs must be kept secret."

"That's natural!"

Xu Qingying took a look at her team and still felt that there was a fly in the ointment and a shortcoming in the soul.

As for what that soul was, Xu Qingying got rid of Fang Ningmo, walked around the camp, and then walked up to a muscular man with a fierce face.

Da Zhuang was dozing under the tree with his chest in his arms. After noticing the presence of a stranger, he suddenly opened his eyes. After realizing that the person coming was Xu Qingying, the murderous look in the man's eyes instantly receded and turned into a simple and honest smile: "Xu Qingying girl."

Very good, that's the look.

Killed people, seen the eyes of blood.

Xu Qingying had long observed that the people exiled this time were the family members of some officials, most of them were nobles, regardless of gender, old or young, and most of them looked weak.

Except for this Liu Dazhuang.

This man is a mystery.

He looked fierce but was actually honest, but Xu Qingying could tell that this man had served as a soldier and been on the battlefield, so he deduced that this person's honesty was mostly fake.

People who have seen blood will have different eyesight.

Like the ferocity of wolves, and the sharpness of an eagle, with a little indifference to life.

In her previous life, Xu Qingying had seen this kind of person in the army compound. He had soft eyes and an easy-going personality. He looked like a good old man and seemed to be able to pinch anyone.But when something really happened, his demeanor was really different from others.

She also inquired, but no one seemed to be able to explain clearly why Liu Dazhuang was exiled.

Even Han Ruqing couldn't explain his origin clearly.

Xu Qingying observed his behavior sometimes and could almost conclude that Liu Dazhuang had experience in the army and had a high position in the army.

"Brother Da Zhuang, I have a business, do you want to take it?" Xu Qingying asked straight to the point.

Liu Dazhuang immediately smiled honestly and said: "How much salary does Miss Xu give?"

"One tael of silver a day."

"Seriously?" Liu Dazhuang stared at Xu Qingying hesitantly, "Is this a serious business?"

"Escort me into Xingyuan Mansion and keep me safe." Xu Qingying smiled slightly, with a dark light flowing in her eyes. "At the same time, help me deal with someone. Five taels of silver will be added. Earn or not?"

Liu Dazhuang's eyes turned cold, like a falcon staring at its prey, dark and cold.

But for just a second, he immediately showed some fear, "I don't dare to kill people and steal goods."

Installed.

Continue to install.

Xu Qingying sneered in her heart, squatted down, and was eye level with Liu Dazhuang, "Who said you were allowed to kill someone?"

"So there's no need to kill anyone?"

Xu Qingying looked at the sky, "It doesn't mean that either."

"Then do you want this person to die or not?"

Xu Qingying felt somewhat sincerely, "Of course I want him to die. Considering the multi-faceted nature of the matter, he should die too. But I also feel that I shouldn't deprive others of their lives like this. I like to use rules to restrain people, no. I like to do whatever I want.”

Liu Dazhuang pondered for a moment, "Huang Yazi?"

Look, this person's thinking is so quick. He can deduce the person Xu Qingying wants to kill in just a few words. How can he be a fool?

Xu Qingying did not make it clear, but said with unclear meaning: "Not only, maybe there are others."

Liu Dazhuang suppressed the naive look on his face, "Why did you choose me?"

"Of course it's because the wisdom in Brother Da Zhuang's eyes cannot be hidden." Xu Qingying flattered her naturally, "Look at your eyes, they are bright and sharp, like scabbards that make people unable to look directly at them. . No matter how hidden you are from the city, gold will still shine."

Liu Dazhuang choked up and didn't believe her gag, but after being in contact with her for so many days, he also knew that Xu Qingying was not a simple person, and he was afraid that his behavior was leaking.

Now that someone has seen through it, there is no point in continuing to pretend.

"Okay, I'll go with you." Da Zhuang patted his butt and stood up. He was nearly two meters tall and had the aura of overwhelming the mountain. A cynical smile appeared on his face, "By the way, let's go and see the legendary How does Miss Xu, who makes a lot of money every day, do business?"

After selecting the manpower, the soldiers were divided into three categories according to the old rules. Some of them continued to circle the city and waited for them in the pavilion outside Qianzhou Gate of Xingyuan Prefecture.Some people went into the city to help buy supplies.Another group of people, including Xu Qingying, were responsible for going to Xingyuan Mansion to resolve the Huang Yazi matter and sell the last batch of soap on hand.

Xu Qingying led this group of people into Xingyuan Mansion.

Since they were going to the city on business this time, most of them had changed their clothes and tidied up. At first glance, it was not obvious that they were exiled prisoners.

Xu Qingying is quite satisfied with this team's ability in literature, martial arts, writing and calculation.

This can barely be regarded as the employee team in the early days of her business.

The agreed time has passed, and Xu Qingying still doesn't know whether Miss Qi Er is really capable of finding Huang Yazi, so she plans to stay for three days.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the bustling Xingyuan Mansion City Gate, she saw a dark-colored young man waiting for her with a portrait on the roadside. As soon as he saw her, he ran over to bow to her and said enthusiastically: "Is this Mr. Xu?"

Feng'er said: "Girl, he has your portrait in his hand."

Seeing this, the young man quickly explained with a smile: "Mr. Xu, I have been ordered by my wife to wait for you here. My wife has told me that when I see you, I must invite you first. Let's talk about Zuixian Pavilion. You see, it's not fate. Madam just gave the order in the morning, and I will pick you up at noon."

"Miss Qi Er is so polite. In that case, I won't be polite anymore. Let me lead the way."

"Hey! Come with me!" The boy responded cheerfully, made a "please" gesture, and led them into the prosperous Xingyuan Mansion like a fish in water.

Xingyuan Mansion is really lively, comparable to Bianjing City.

But the group of people knew that they had important things to do when they entered the city this time, so they didn't dare to relax. Only Fang Ningmo left her parents for the first time or went out alone. For a moment, she couldn't help but be curious. She looked around, but followed closely. Team.

She did not forget to ask quietly: "Who is Miss Qi Er?"

Feng'er didn't want Fang Ningmo to disturb Xu Qingying's thoughts. In her heart, Miss Xu was always thinking about things when she wasn't talking, but she couldn't disturb her, so she pulled Fang Ningmo over and said, "She bought us last time." The girl who is a soap customer has an appointment with her to meet at Xingyuan Mansion."

"Hasn't the buyer already been found? Why do so many people still come to the city?"

"That's not necessarily the case. Business is something that always needs to be discussed."

Fang Ningmo smiled and pinched Feng'er's face, "Little girl, you've only been with Xu Liu for a few days, and you've already started to talk in the same way. Look at your demeanor, you're almost on par with my boss. . One day I will have to learn from Xu Liu, how can he train his servants so well."

Xu Qingying said quietly, "I don't have any servants under me. I call them partners."

Feng'er felt very comfortable in her heart, and naturally knew that Xu Qingying was protecting her face in front of outsiders, but Miss Xu didn't know that even if she was allowed to stay by her side as a slave, she would be willing to do so.

Humph, she saw that there were many people in the exile team who wanted to be Miss Xu's slaves.

It's great to be a slave. With a contract of sale, you can make a fortune with Miss Xu for the rest of your life.What's more, Miss Xu is such a nice person. Even if she becomes a slave, she might still live a better life than the ladies and grandmothers outside.

Unexpectedly, Fang Ningmo was walking, but stopped in front of a notice.

Xu Qingying also stopped and glanced twice, only to see a notice saying that a certain official of the first rank had been beheaded, the other men of the family were exiled, and the women were employed in the Jiaofang Division.

Fang Ningmo's face instantly turned as pale as paper, and she stood there motionless in a daze.

Looking at her appearance, Xu Qingying knew it was someone she knew, so she gently pulled her: "Ningmo, there are too many words here. Our identities are sensitive, so don't let anyone recognize him."

Fang Ningmo also realized that she had lost her composure, quickly came to her senses, and forced out an ugly smile: "Sorry, I was fascinated by it for a moment."

Xu Qingying held her arm and quickly left the place where the matter was. She asked again, "Is she someone you know?"

Fang Ningmo's tears just flowed down, but she also knew that it was a sensitive period and did not dare to let outsiders see it. She immediately wiped away her tears and simply explained: "I am my grandfather's student."

Naturally, Fang Ningmo would not tell Xu Qingying that their Fang family's hope for recovery rested with this person.

But now, this person has been killed by Han Shoufu and his head is missing.

How heartbroken a grandfather would be if he learned that his proudest student had been beheaded.

At the same time, there is no hope for the Fang family to recover.

Fang Ningmo felt that all her thoughts were lost at this moment. Every time she heard the elders talking about it, she didn't seem to take the matter of exile seriously.

Since the late emperor began to become comatose in his later years, it was common for officials to rise and fall, and there were also many who were recalled to the court after being exiled.

With his grandfather's protégé relationships all over the world, it is not impossible for the young emperor to recall him to his original post, or even further fight with Han Xiang.

Therefore, when it comes to the exile, most of the Fang family has the mentality of going out to enjoy the mountains and rivers after suffering hardships, always imagining that maybe they have to go back to Bianjing before they reach Qianzhou.

Not to mention other members of the Fang family, even Fang Ningmo herself thought this way.

But now it seems that the situation in the imperial court is in chaos. Even a behemoth like Zhongshu Sheren has been defeated. Whose turn will it be next?
This world...is going to be in chaos?

Could it be that, as my grandfather said, the vitality of the Great Zhou Dynasty is about to run out?

Bianjing City...can they really not go back?

Naturally, Xu Qingying would not ask more about the Fang family, so she could only pretend not to see the confusion on Fang Ningmo's face.

The boy took them to Zuixian Pavilion.

Zuixian Pavilion is the largest restaurant in Xingyuan Mansion. It is four or five stories high, with octagonal flying buttresses, red tiles and green terraces. It can be said to be a unique existence on the plains of Xingyuan Mansion.

Standing on Zuixian Pavilion and looking at the grand scenery of Xingyuan Mansion City from a distance is a beautiful thing for students all over the world.

But no one is interested in looking at the scenery.

After the boy took them into the private room of Zuixian Pavilion, he withdrew on the pretext of going back to invite Miss Qi.Suddenly, only the many people brought by Xu Qingying were left in the huge private room.

"The rest of us are waiting downstairs." Xu Qingying pointed outside, "Dad, brother, Feng'er, and squad leader Zhao are staying."

She waved to Liu Dazhuang and Ming Xiaoshuang again, and lowered her voice in his ears and said: "You and Ming Xiaoshuang follow the boy and go to see if Miss Qi Er has found Huang Yazi. If you find it, see if there is anything you can do." Grab people."

Ming Xiaoshuang subconsciously looked at Team Leader Zhao, but was glared at by Team Leader Zhao, "Look what I did, didn't you hear what Miss Xu said?"

So, Da Zhuang and Ming Xiaoshuang retreated.

Xu Qingying put a tight spell on everyone again: "Everyone, please be alert. This situation is unusual. Watch my gestures later. If I compare one, it means everything is fine. If I compare two, it means everyone is cheered up and ready to fight at any time. Fist and hammer The table represents action. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" Everyone replied in unison.

Xu Huiming said privately: "Sister, do you think something will go wrong this time?"

"Fang Zi was taken away by Huang Yazi. Maybe he has been handed over to Miss Qi Er, and maybe even our identities have been revealed. I'm not sure about Miss Qi Er's attitude. What if Miss Qi Er comes? What should I do if a black man eats a black man?"

Team leader Zhao was ready to fight, "Then do it!"

Xu Qingying said: "That's not the case, I'm just talking about the worst case scenario. Miss Qi Er is a businessman, and a smart businessman. No matter what, she definitely wants to maximize her interests, so she should choose to follow Let me talk. Let’s check the situation first. If the situation is not right, we will run away immediately.”

"Master Xu!"

If you haven't seen him, hear his voice first.

Xu Qingying stood up, only to see the private rooms being pushed open, the bead curtains moving, and the light overflowing. A woman wearing a blue mandarin skirt and a white flower skirt was walking towards her holding a stove. She had a smile on her face and an eyebrow. She has a charming personality, and the steps on her head don't move at all when she walks, which shows that she has been subject to strict family rules since she was a child.

Then there were five or six muscular young men behind Miss Qi Er.

Another person could be vaguely seen outside the screen.

When the people behind Xu Qingying saw so many people coming to the other party, and at first glance they were all Lian Jiazi, they immediately knew that today was not a good feast.

Captain Zhao's expression tensed up.

Xu Qingying, on the other hand, remained calm, as if ignoring the tense tensions between the two groups of people, and greeted her with a smile, "Miss Qi Er!"

Miss Qi Er looked Xu Qingying up and down, and immediately came over enthusiastically, "I haven't seen Mr. Xu for a long time. Why do you look so fat and dark?"

Oh, I really know how to chat.

Xu Qingying even suspected that Miss Qi Er did it on purpose.

Could it be because she lied to Miss Qi Er?

"It's so hard to run around every day, but I just received a message from my father, asking me to go south for a trip. So I had no choice but to come to Xingyuan Mansion again and see if there are any business opportunities along the way."

Miss Qi Er took her arm affectionately, and everyone realized that Miss Qi Er had actually seen through Xu Qingying's disguise as a man.

Everyone just sighed at this woman's vicious eyes.

When setting off, Xu Qingying spent a long time on her own, and she didn't know what method she used to make her eyebrows into sword eyebrows, and her skin was painted darker, making her look like a tomboy.Several people traveling with him almost didn't recognize him.

Of course they didn't know that Miss Qi Er recognized Xu Qingying as a girl last time.

When you go out to do business, how can you do it without being sophisticated?

"Hmph, you're lucky. Last time I said there was an opportunity to make a fortune here in Xingyuan Mansion, so I hurried over here. But as soon as I arrived, you asked me to do something for you. You deceived me. Did you come to Xingyuan Mansion just to ask me to run errands for you?"

Miss Qi Er sat down with Xu Zhenying on her arm and said reluctantly, "If you are here alone today, don't even think about leaving. You have to tell me, where is this opportunity to make a fortune?"

As Miss Qi Er was talking, she did not forget to ask the girl beside her to order some of Zuixian Pavilion's signature dishes.

Xu Qingying said: "Opportunities to make a fortune are everywhere. But what happened to the person I asked Miss Qi Er to find for me?"

"I'm doing things, Mr. Xu, don't you feel at ease?" Miss Qi Er said, "You want someone from me right now, which makes me very sad. Let's eat and talk, and you can do the same." Tell me how we are going to do something big this time. Mr. Xu, please don’t live up to my kindness. Just because of your words, I have helped you to give orders to more than a dozen people from the trading companies. I have already sent out this news. , bosses from all walks of life have arrived. You have also seen that Zuixian Pavilion is full of people today. The big boss came after hearing my letter. The small bosses all took action after hearing the news. Now I am afraid that Xingyuan is spreading outside. This house is a golden nest."

Xu Qingying tried to figure out Miss Qi Er's attitude, and she roughly understood that Huang Yazi was probably in her hands.

As for Fang Zi, she was really not sure.

So, she had no choice but to do as she pleased, and said with a smile: "It's true that rumors are spreading, but you can imagine how many heroes Miss Qi Er will attract with this wave of her arms. Don't worry, Miss Qi Er, this time, I'm sure I’ll make you rich. But you have to keep the front secret, otherwise the rest won’t be exciting.”

"Okay." Miss Qi Er agreed, "I have made appointments with more than a dozen bosses, and I don't know how the news about soap leaked out. They are all very curious and can't wait to come and see you now."

"Then let's all have a meeting. I'll also meet the wealthy businessmen in Xingyuan Mansion."

"when."

"I don't like procrastination when doing things. Let's find a good place to talk tonight."

"Why don't you just go to my other courtyard?"

"Row."

"Do you have any other requirements?"

Xu Qingying smiled, "No. I'll talk about it when I think of something else."

As soon as he finished speaking, various dishes came in one after another.

Miss Qi Er was so bold that she directly ordered two tables.One table was for the servants, and the other table was for she and Miss Qi to eat alone.

Team leader Zhao was a little worried, but Xu Qingying gave him a reassuring gesture. Team leader Zhao had no choice but to go to the table next to the screen to eat.

At this table were Xu Qingying and Miss Qi, with Feng'er standing behind her, pretending to be her maid serving dishes.

It is said that people should eat without talking or sleep without speaking, but that is the rule of high-ranking nobles.

For businessmen, the dinner table is the business place, so how can you do it without talking.
