"My father acquiesced." Qiao Qiongyan made a reasonable excuse for herself.

"Your brother should be pampering you too, right?" If her brother hadn't deliberately concealed it, how could it be possible for General Qiao to find out that his daughter learned to ride and shoot three years later.

"When I was young, my brother doted on me, but in the past two or three years, my brother seems to have changed. He keeps nagging in my ears like an old woman, asking me to pay attention to this, and it's annoying. I'm so annoying." Qiao Qiongyan pouted.

"Your brother is concerned about you. You are 14 years old now. Your brother may be worried about your marriage." After all, some of Qiao Qiongyan's behaviors were not accepted by the world in this feudal ancient times, and her brother should be very worried Bar?

"How do you know?" Qiao Qiongyan felt that Bai Beibei was so powerful that she even knew that her brother was worried about her marriage.

Bo Beibei glanced at her: "is it hard to guess?"

Qiao Qiongyan choked for a while, and then said: "My brother is worried about him, but I don't want to marry so early."

"Qiongyan, are you engaged?" Bai Beibei remembered that the wealthy families here generally engaged their children early.

"Not yet, my father has been in the military camp all year round and has no time to take care of our brother and sister. My brother's marriage was arranged by himself when he was 20 years old, so I have to wait until I am 20 years old to get married."

"I'm afraid you can't help yourself?" Bai Beibei laughed.

People in this dynasty get married early, 20 years old is considered a late marriage, and Bai Beibei doesn't believe that her brother and sister-in-law are not worried about Qiao Qiongyan.

"Oh, these things are still early, let's not talk about this." Qiao Qiongyan said impatiently.

"By the way, Beibei!" Qiao Qiongyan abruptly changed the subject: "Do you still remember the place where we first met? It's the place of fireworks. What are you doing there? Also, why are there so many fireworks?" Someone arrested you?"

In fact, she wanted to ask this question a long time ago, but she was afraid that Beibei would not be happy if she heard it, so she asked it today while Beibei was in a good mood.

"That was the first time I entered the county town. I only went there when I got lost. The person who wanted to arrest me was actually Mrs. Huang." Bai Beibei told Qiao Qiongyan about Mrs. Huang's attempt to deceive the warehouse.

When Qiao Qiongyan heard this, she immediately became angry: "It's Mrs. Huang again? It's too disgusting!"

Qiao Qiongyan didn't see Mrs. Huang that time, so she didn't know that she was behind the scenes.

"Why, do you recognize that old lady Huang?" Bai Beibei felt very strange seeing Qiao Qiongyan's expression of deep hatred.

"More than just recognition!" Qiao Qiongyan sat up abruptly, and said angrily, "I was going to smash her brothel that day."

Bo Beibei blinked: "What's going on?"

"This Huang Pozi is specialized in providing women and young men for several brothels in the county. She is also the owner of one of the brothels. One of my brother's colleagues got a woman from her and brought her to my house. , my brother didn’t know, and was tricked by that woman to climb onto the bed. My sister-in-law was so angry that she went back to her mother’s house. That woman was forced onto him by Mrs. Huang, and I didn't think too much about it at the time, so I changed my way to find Mrs. Huang."

"Could it be that there is something hidden in it?" Bai Beibei frowned and asked.

"Beibei, you're so smart! My brother's boss and this old lady Huang are responsible for this!" Qiao Qiongyan said angrily, "A few days before the accident, my father got my brother to work in the pastoral supervisor for no reason. The horse farm, my brother is responsible for the entry and exit of military horses in the horse farm. During the handover, my brother found out that the number of horses entering and exiting before was wrong. In fact, these horses were secretly sold to the enemy country by his boss." This is what Qiao Qiongyan found out later. of.

"If this matter is found out, it will be a crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason to punish the nine clans. My brother's boss didn't expect my brother to be so serious. He was very scared and wanted to get my brother away, but he couldn't catch my brother. In the end, I wanted to send a special work to my brother, and wanted to win my brother over through the special work, but he couldn't count my brother's friendship with my sister-in-law. No matter how troublesome that woman was, my brother just refused to take her in. She, all this matter went to my father, and my father found out the truth within a few days, and gave the emperor a note, and ransacked the traitor's house."

"Where's that old woman?"

"That woman Huang was also used for money. She didn't know the real identity of the woman, but she died not long after the incident, and her subordinates were also killed. The murderer has not yet been caught. Woolen cloth."

"Things are really complicated." Bai Beibei conspired in his mind, wondering if the enemy's spy would be the one who killed Mrs. Huang?
"It's not something we can figure out in the officialdom. This is the frontier, and if you make a mistake, you may be doomed. Those officials are also screened and put here. Who knows that there are still fish that slip through the net." Qiao Qiongyan is one of the generals. Female, I more or less know some of the twists and turns inside.

The two chatted for a while, and Bo Beibei's stomach growled.

Qiao Qiongyan laughed loudly: "I forgot about it, you haven't had lunch yet, let's go back."

She and Xiaozhu ate breakfast and lunch together, so they didn't feel hungry.

In the evening, Qiao Qiongyan and Xiao Zhuguo really had dinner in the tea shed before returning to town. After Bai Beibei saw his mother and brother finished their work, he told them his idea of ​​building an ice cellar, and then asked Manchuan to discuss with the craftsmen first.

Early the next morning, Bai Manchuan went to find the craftsman.

After returning, Baimanchuan told Bo Beibei what the craftsman meant: "The craftsman said that the terrain here does not know whether an ice cellar can be built. If it can be built, the price will be expensive. An ice cellar as big as a room does not cost 5000 taels." It can't be built."

Man Chuan finished speaking, and said again: "We don't have that much money, how can we build an ice cellar, I think let's forget it."

Bo Beibei thought for a while, but did not give a definite answer: "Brother, let me think about it first."

Bai Manchuan opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.

After thinking about it, the ice cellar can be used for a long time. If the business of the tea shed is to continue, it is necessary to build an ice cellar. In hot weather, not only the guests need to use ice, but the ice cellar can also store food, but it takes so much to build an ice cellar Money, if she directly took out the banknotes stored in the space, it would arouse the suspicion of the family members.

Now the tea shed business is much better than before, cruise ships can be rented out every day, plus the money for selling thousands of sheets, I can earn five to sixty taels a day, and only less than 60 taels a month, which is far from enough to build an ice cellar.

Thinking of Qian Zhang, Bai Beibei blinked her phoenix eyes and had an idea.
