Chapter 87
With a serious look on his face, Changsun Jingrong asked, "What kind of person is he, a local ruffian?"

"No, they are all powerful guys. They look like Lian Jiazi. But their eyes are upright, so they don't look like bad guys."

Qiao Ruilin's words made the eldest grandson Jingrong a little confused, and couldn't think of what these people could do here.After adjusting his sitting posture, Changsun Jingrong asked again: "Are there these guys in other shops?"

"Well, yes, yesterday I went around the shops under your property and found that they had seen those people before. I felt something strange at the moment, so I wanted to let you know, but I didn't want you to be at the house. "

Leaning back on the soft chair, Changsun Jingrong narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "I happen to be here today, so I want to see who are those people and why are they here!"

Looking anxiously at the forehead of the eldest grandson Jingrong, Qiao Ruilin said: "Miss, you should rest in the back hall. I will inform you when I spot their figures. Otherwise, if the wound sees the wind, it will not heal. "

Qiao Ruilin's words were unanimously agreed by Bi He and Qiao Shan'er, and everyone forbade grandson Jingrong to show up in public. She had no choice but to sit in the back hall and wait for the news.

When he was bored, Changsun Jingrong saw a few eleven or twelve-year-old boys coming into the shop, and felt curious, so he started chatting with them.

During the conversation, the eldest grandson Jingrong learned that those children were orphans and lived by begging outside on weekdays.It was Qiao Ruilin who brought them here, changed into clean clothes, lived in a bright house, and taught them to read and write.

Qiao Ruilin, why bring these children back?
The oldest one among the children, named Xiaodouzi, was a little ghost and said: "Brother Qiao said that in a year or two, he will lead us to learn how to do business, but now, we can only do odd jobs in the shop."

After hearing this, Changsun Jingrong re-examined these children, and then slowly raised the corners of his lips, thinking that these children were selected by Qiao Ruilin to be used by the bank in the future.According to my plan, one or two years later, when the money houses are all over Longrui, a large amount of manpower is also needed. Qiao Ruilin Youen and these children are very loyal. , good at dealing with the world, and starting a business, it will be faster to get started.From this point of view, this is really a good choice.

Looking at the enthusiastic faces of the children, the eldest grandson Jingrong's mood also improved a lot, and they chatted for a long time involuntarily.

After a while, Qiao Ruilin hurried over, lifted the curtain and entered, anxiously said: "Miss, those people are here again!"

With his eyes fixed, Changsun Jingrong stood up and said, "I want to see what they are from!"

Saying that, Changsun Jingrong followed behind Qiao Ruilin and hurried away.

As soon as he entered the front hall, three or five big men cast sharp eyes over him, looked up and down at the eldest grandson Jingrong, and then talked with each other.

With a raised eyebrow, Changsun Jingrong greeted them with a smile on his face, walked up to several big men, and asked kindly: "Are you here to choose materials? Do you have a favorite style and shape?"

It seemed that they did not expect that the eldest grandson Jingrong would come over in a graceful manner. Several people were stunned for a while, and then their eyes averted a little, as if they didn't know how to respond.

"If you guys choose silk, come here and have a look. These silks are the best this year. They are light in texture and soft to the touch. They are the best choice whether they are used for ordinary clothes or fancy clothes," Changsun Jingrong said. Leading several people aside, he talked to some expensive Luojuan, "It looks like you don't look like ordinary people. You should wear some good materials, so that you can show your identity. Like the ones you are wearing now Although the clothes are simple and elegant, if you wear them on some dignified occasions, they will not be suitable and will lose your status to your master. And I don’t have much money for these fabrics, but I can buy face and please the master. Isn’t it fair? Is it killing two birds with one stone?"

"That, we..."

"These fabrics are being sold at a reduced price, and it's the best deal to buy now. Looking at the figures of you, it takes five feet to make a suit. Well, four of you, twenty feet, I think you are cheap Come on, just 100 taels of silver!"

"100 taels!?" Hearing this number, the faces of the big guys couldn't help tightening, as if their hearts were aching.

Seeing their reaction like this, Changsun Jingrong couldn't help but collapsed, with a bit of impatience on his face, he kept looking them up and down, and said, "Why, you don't have any money with you? You came to the shop without any money, are you doing this?" Amuse us?"

The eldest grandson Jingrong's voice was loud, causing other people in the shop to look back, making several big men uncomfortable and blushing.

Finally, the leader of the big man frowned and said: "Bring it, don't be so loud, we will just buy it!" As he said, he took out in his pocket, but there was only 50 taels. I made some scrapes together from my own place, threw the banknotes and broken silver and copper plates on the table together, and said in a rough voice, "Isn't this enough?"

"Enough is enough, Qiao Ruilin, hurry up and cut the cloth for the guests!"

"Oh, yes!" Qiao Ruilin almost looked dumbfounded. After being urged by his grandson Jingrong a few times, he ran over with the scissors, gestured up and down a few times, and cut the cloth.

After handing over the wrapped cloth to several people, Changsun Jingrong said with a smile: "The things in the small shop are innocent, I guarantee that everyone who has used them will praise them. By the way, we still have gauze in the shop, and now we are making inners." Dry and breathable, why not..."

"No need, no need, let me take my leave!"

Before Changsun Jingrong finished speaking, the faces of those people turned pale, and after saying something, they left the shop in a hurry and walked away without looking back.

Looking at the backs of those people, Bihe looked shocked, and murmured: "Miss, you are really amazing. They came to inquire about the news, but they threw down 100 taels abruptly. I guess they are just small people. The money must be Let them vomit blood."

With a sneer on the corner of his mouth, Changsun Jingrong snorted, "Hmph, want to find out about Miss Ben for nothing? Don't even look at where I went!"

While Qiao Shan'er packed her things, she welcomed her eldest grandson Jingrong back to the back hall, and asked, "Miss, do you think those people are here for you?"

"If my guess is right, that's exactly it." The eldest grandson Jingrong carefully wiped the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief, and said, "These people have a hard spirit, which is not something ordinary people can have. And his hands are full of calluses, either because he is holding a hoe or a weapon."

Hearing the words of grandson Jingrong, Qiao Ruilin seemed to have been reminded, and hurriedly asked: "Miss, do you think those people are officers and soldiers?"

The eldest grandson Jingrong didn't speak, but just nodded.

"Officers and soldiers? Why are the officers and soldiers looking for you!" Bi He couldn't figure out why, but felt full of doubts.

Standing under the poplar tree outside the back hall, Changsun Jingrong looked up at the birds on the branch and murmured: "I'm afraid some people can't wait to meet me."

Because he was worried about his eldest grandson Jingrong, Sima Xukong returned to the palace early today, but he didn't expect that his eldest grandson Jingrong would go out early. , Do you really think your life is too long!"

Just when Sima Xukong was full of impatience, a voice like an ice spring suddenly sounded behind him, flowing in his ears, soothing the impatience in his heart.

"Excuse me, is the princess here?"

Turning around leisurely, Sima Xukong saw a woman in Tsing Yi standing behind her. She was slender and enchanting, with jet-black hair hanging down, but that face...was somewhat unrecognizable because of the injury.

After Qiu Yefei woke up, she learned from the maid who took care of her that it was the Ninth Princess who saved her, so she came here specially, wanting to thank her personally, but she didn't expect to meet a handsome man here, and she couldn't help but Bang bang jumping, even forgetting to say hello.

"Are you looking for the princess? She has gone out. As for when she will come back, I don't know."

This voice...is it him! ?
After Qiu Yefei heard Sima Xukong's voice, her heart clenched tightly, and she looked at him nervously and shyly, full of joy.When she was on the verge of coma, Akiba Fei remembered that there was a voice that enveloped her like sea water, which gave her hope of life when she was on the verge of death, and wanted to continue to live. See who this charming voice belonged to.

Akiba Fei originally thought that the voice was an auditory hallucination when she was in a coma, but now she didn't expect to be able to see the owner of the voice. How could this not make her excited?
It's just that Sima Xukong didn't know what Qiu Yefei was thinking, he just thought this woman with a swollen face was very strange.However, his good temper was lost by his grandson Jingrong, so he frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

Hearing this, Qiu Yefei bowed her head and saluted, and said timidly: "My little girl, Qiu Yefei."

Raising his eyebrows, Sima Xukong remembered that there was such a woman in his house, and asked, "Are you Fang Zijing's maid?"

Hearing Fang Zijing's name, Qiu Yefei trembled all over. She tried her best to be normal, but her complexion turned pale quickly, and there was no blood at all.

Seeing Qiu Yefei like this, Sima Xukong knew that now was not the time to interrogate the details, so he softened his voice and asked again: "Then why did you come to see the princess?"

After taking a deep breath, Qiu Yefei said: "The little girl knows that the princess saved me, so I came here specially to thank you."

"I will convey your kindness to you. Judging by your current appearance, you are very weak. You should go back and have a good rest."

"Thank you Ninth Prince."

Although he didn't hear the name of Sima Xukong, but he called himself the king, that is a prince, and the only prince in Longrui country who can stay in the capital is the Ninth Prince, and it must be Sima Xukong.only……

Qiu Yefei touched her face, feeling suddenly a little annoyed in her heart, feeling that it was a pity that she could not show her most beautiful side to him.

Sima Xukong didn't expect this woman to be quite clever, raised his eyebrows, and said: "You don't need to be so polite, you need to heal your injuries first, and it will not be in vain for Princess Ninth to save you once."

Why was it that the Ninth Princess saved herself, not the Ninth Prince?
With regret in her heart, Qiu Yefei bowed to Sima Xukong and bid farewell.

After Qiu Yefei left, Sima Xukong became angrier as he thought about it, so he sat there angrily, waiting for his eldest grandson Jingrong to come back.And after Changsun Jingrong came back, as soon as he entered the door, he saw such a steamed bun face.

Needless to say, Changsun Jingrong also knew why Sima Xukong was angry, so he sat beside him and said casually, "I'm not going out today for fun."

"But to me, it doesn't matter whether it's a game or not, because you left me and went out alone!"

Looking at Sima Xukong who looked like a doormat, Changsun Jingrong sat down helplessly and said, "If I don't go out, how do you know that Xue Lingruo is sending someone to investigate me?"

"What do you mean by that?" Sima Xukong sat up straight at once, looked at Changsun Jingrong seriously, and asked.

Shrugging his shoulders, Changsun Jingrong said indifferently: "A few people who looked like officers and soldiers came to the shop today. The shop assistants said that they had been here for several days, and they seemed to be looking for someone. But when they found me in After there, they couldn't stop looking at it, and it was obvious that their target was me."

"Why did Xue Lingruo send a few rough men to find you?" Sima Xu asked suspiciously, puzzled.

"Of course it's for the eldest grandson Jingrong to see what kind of person I am."

Seeing Changsun Jingrong talking about this matter in a relaxed tone, Sima Xu couldn't help but feel even more depressed, and said, "Why don't you leave this kind of matter to me to handle? You think you can solve everything by yourself, so you need me to deal with it?" What are you doing, husband? You are so capricious!"

Bi He was already used to Miss's independent temperament, but Sima Xukong's doting tone almost made Bi He choke on his own saliva, and her face turned red.

After Changsun Jingrong heard it himself, he also felt uncomfortable, and said: "Before I go, how do I know what will happen? I said, don't worry about these things, okay? Since Xue Lingruo has already started to make plans, we It’s time to think of strategies to deal with it.”

Looking helplessly at his eldest grandson Jingrong, Sima Xukong felt distressed and angry, and really wanted to deal with this woman severely.But for now, let's deal with that woman Xue Lingruo first.

Tapping the table with his fingers, Sima Xukong said: "They haven't come back yet, but they sent people to investigate you. As for the palace, they can't get in, they can only go to the shop to try their luck. After seeing you, they don't I was too sure that you were the eldest grandson Jingrong, so they talked to each other, but you found out, so it makes sense." Sima Xukong speculated, then looked at the eldest grandson Jingrong, and asked, "After you found them, How did they react?"

"Reaction..." Changsun Jingrong thought for a while, and said, "It should be more annoyed and regretful."

Sima Xukong was baffled by the answer, and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"Because, I asked them to take 100 taels and buy a bunch of useless fabrics back." Changsun Jingrong looked sideways at Sima Xukong and said with a charming smile.

Sima Xukong was already dizzy from the shock of that smile, and when he came back to his senses, he said stupidly: "You are so powerful, you can even scrape off a layer of skin from those who inquire about the news."

"That's it, can the information be in vain?" Changsun Jingrong smiled triumphantly, and said, "It's a good thing they haven't found out anything important, otherwise, I'm really afraid that they will go bankrupt!"

"Jingrong, you are really amazing," Sima Xukong couldn't help but smile, praising his eldest grandson Jingrong.But after thinking about it, his smile sank, and he said in a low voice: "No, you are not allowed to change the subject. I haven't taught you a lesson yet. Without my company in the future, you are not allowed to do dangerous things again. Remember!"

Holding a ball of prosperity with his fingertips, Changsun Jingrong took the opportunity to change the subject and asked, "My lord has been going out early and coming back late recently, is everything going well in the Ministry of War?"

Ever since they got married, no, it should be said that the eldest grandson Jingrong had never taken the initiative to care about him after they got acquainted. Everything is fine in the Ministry of War, so don’t worry about it. But you, take good care of yourself in the mansion and don’t run around casually. The situation is unstable recently, or else, I’ll send you a guard.”

Changsun Jingrong originally wanted to reject this proposal, but after thinking about it, maybe this guard could help him a bit, so he nodded and said: "That's fine, but can the lord send someone who is more secure, I don't like to be like Bao'er." So noisy."

Comparing her fingers to herself, Bao'er felt that she was so innocent, and was implicated inexplicably, while Bi He and Qiao Shan'er looked at him and couldn't help laughing.

"Don't worry, the person I've found for you will definitely satisfy you!" Changsun Jingrong seldom spoke in such a gentle and rainy manner, every sentence floated to Sima Xukong's heart like a spring breeze, and he couldn't help but I feel refreshed and feel like flying.

Afterwards, Changsun Jingrong went with his temper and coaxed a few more words, Sima Xukong forgot to "teach" Changsun Jingrong about it, and prepared to go back and select someone to be his bodyguard.

However, before going out, he turned around to look at his eldest grandson Jingrong, remembered something, and said, "By the way, that Qiuye or something came to look for you today."

"Akiba Fei? Is she awake?"

"Yes, that's the name. I think he is in good condition, but the injury on his face is still a little serious, and he can't tell her appearance at all."

Thinking of this ill-fated woman, Changsun Jingrong couldn't help being silent for a moment, thinking that after she woke up, a bloody battle of killings would begin slowly.

She mustered up the courage to take out the mirror, but Qiu Yefei only glanced at it, then threw the mirror aside, and sat at the table distractedly, frowning.

Thinking of appearing in front of Sima Xukong with such a terrifying appearance, Qiu Yefei felt sour in every way, wishing to smash all the mirrors.

Seemingly hearing the commotion inside, the maid hurriedly pushed the door open, stared at Qiu Yefei and asked, "Miss, are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Clenching her fists tightly, Qiu Yefei sat with her back to the maidservant, tears welling in her eyes, her voice choked up.

The maid thought that Qiu Yefei was irritable due to illness, so she comforted her: "Miss, don't worry, the princess has hired the best doctor for you, and it won't be long before you recover."

"How long will it be?" Qiu Yefei murmured softly, with deep melancholy in her tone.
