Mian Mian followed Song Qiu to Lizhou Prefecture, and saw a lot along the way. He also ran a tea shed at Daxing Inn, and dealt with all kinds of passers-by every day.
Besides, when she was in Yangping Town, she had a hard time, and their compound was not as stupid as it was sweet.
As soon as Qin Lianhua came up to her, she could tell that something was wrong with her eyes. How could she be so stupid to ask and answer questions?
After Qin Lianhua thought she understood everything and left, she immediately went to find Song Qiu.
In her words, "My boss, the maid named Lianhua is not a peaceful person. Her eyes are uneasy at first sight. Her words reveal that she came first and that's why she was sizing her up like this."
He seems to be the master of the land."
What kind of thing is this? Do you think their owner is any woman from outside?
Little did they know that their boss was the future mistress of this house!
As soon as Song Qiu heard about this, he heard Li Yang calling for someone to come find Ren Yazi.
When asked, Song Qiu didn't say anything after hearing Li Yang's answer. Come on, there was nothing she needed to do, he would just commit suicide first.
Soon, Ren Yazi came with people.
Manager Qin, who had just returned from buying rice and grain, was faced with being betrayed as soon as he came back, and he couldn't react.
Qin Lianhua was frightened when she found out now. She never thought that her master was so ignorant of style and had no sympathy for her. She just pounced on her without any idea, and she didn't even leave any room for it.
If you sell it, sell it. It's so cruel.
But he had to lower his head, and quickly kowtowed and begged to Li Yang. Seeing that Li Yang turned a deaf ear, he gritted his teeth and turned to kneel down to beg Song Qiu.
Song Qiu: It’s inexplicable.
Then he asked Qian Qian to close the door and take a nap to calm down.
When they got up again, the Qin family had been sold off, and the new servants were an elderly couple and a woman in her early thirties who was a good cook.
Li Yang had already gone to the health center and came back. When he saw Song Qiu getting up, he came over and asked her if she wanted to go out for dinner or eat at home.
Hearing the word "home" in his mouth, Song Qiu smiled and said, "Let's eat at home today, and then go out to eat tomorrow?"
Hearing her talk about her family, Li Yang grinned and nodded in agreement, "Okay, the new Mr. Hu is said to be a good cook and proficient in Jiangbei cuisine. Let's try it tonight."
When the two of them were talking, Aling and the others were also there. Listening to what the two of them said, Aling rolled his eyes and looked at Lu Jing, "I just heard you say that there is a Chunmanlou restaurant in Qingping Fucheng that has very good food and wine?
"
Lu Jing knew what was going on and immediately said, "Yes, Master, this is the only drunken chicken they have, and it's very delicious!"
Ah Ling's eyes lit up when he heard it, he stood up and said anxiously: "Then I want to try it tonight!"
Lu Jing cheered, "Hello, Master! As my disciple, I invite Master to come to Chunmanlou for dinner!"
"Good disciple, take your senior sisters and brothers with you." Aling nodded and shouted to the others to go out.
After walking a few steps, he turned back, looked at Song Qiu and said, "Um, sister Aqiu, let's go have chicken tonight, you can eat it at home!"
After that, without looking back, he quickly went out with a group of people.
Song Qiu:......
Li Yang looked over and said, "I heard from my colleagues about Chunmanlou. It is indeed quite famous. Let's eat at home tonight and go out with them to eat. Tomorrow night, we will go to Chunmanlou to eat."
Hearing this, Song Qiu blinked but also smiled.
Seeing her smile, Li Yang grinned and laughed.
Master Hong Wu's shops were opened in every prefectural capital to receive and forward news from various places.
Naturally, there is also one in Qingping Fucheng. Once the letter arrives here, it will be delivered to Li Yang as soon as possible.
Mian Mian and the others were quickly putting the dishes on the table. As soon as Li Yang and Song Qiu went over to sit down, someone sent a letter from outside.
Li Yang went out for a trip and came back with a letter in his hand.
His face was full of joy, he sat down and said: "Aqiu, I am going to be promoted again. Even if I am promoted to the rank of commander, I will be a third-grade official!"
Song Qiu glanced at the letter and smiled: "That's great."
Li Yang immediately told what happened in Beijing.
The evidence was delivered to the Crown Prince first, and the Crown Prince immediately sent people to follow the clues to investigate secretly. By the time the Xiong brothers arrived in Beijing with the two witnesses, they had already discovered the place where King Yan raised and trained his troops.
Immediately, the emperor issued several imperial edicts, disclosed the evidence in front of the courtiers, and then asked the King of Yan to return to the capital to defend himself.
King Yan has been sending people to intercept and kill the Xiong brothers and others. How could he not know that the Holy One has already found out about this?
Let him return to Beijing, but he won't be able to escape.
Therefore, King Yan accepted the imperial edict, but did not return to the capital. Instead, he continued to move in the fiefdom of Chongzhou. He did not even bother to hide it, and directly put his thoughts on the table, only to send a notice saying that he was going to rebel.
.
The Holy Emperor had already found out where King Yan was raising his troops, and had already dispatched King Changshan to lead his troops to surround the mountain. As long as the soldiers inside dared to come out, they would be killed without mercy.
The King of Yan wanted to rebel, but he was strangled in the cradle before he could take charge, cutting off his retreat. The result is one can imagine.
Without soldiers, how can we talk about rebellion?
With just the few soldiers in the fief, it would be great to be able to defeat the fief.
And after Li Yang found these evidences, it was certain that he would be promoted for the first time.
The four dishes and one soup prepared by Mr. Hu were very rich and had a unique flavor. With such a delicious meal on the table, Song Qiu immediately asked Mian Mian to boil a pot of wine and serve it.
After pouring wine for Li Yang, Song Qiu said: "Then let's wish you a promotion in advance today."
Song Qiu can drink liquor, and the alcohol content is not high, so drinking two ounces is no problem.
The two clinked glasses and drank.
After a while, Li Yang smiled and said: "I heard from my colleagues that many of their wives have more or less opened shops in the city, including jewelry shops and clothing shops. It is said that there are people in the court who are easy to do things, and there are people in the yamen who protect them.
Even if business is not easy to do, you won’t be boycotted by your peers.”
"As long as I don't ask for another transfer, I guess I will be working in Qingping Fucheng for a long time in the future. Ah Qiu, do you think you should also open a shop in Fucheng? Just like you opened that dessert shop in town, here
But no, if you want to open it, the business will be good."
Song Qiu listened and really thought about it seriously.
Then he said: "We will prepare this matter when we get married and come to stay here for a while. Now I will finish the plan of opening at least three inns."
"Okay, it's not like I can find a suitable shop as soon as I want to open it. I'll ask someone to help me keep an eye on it first. When there is a suitable shop, I'll take stock first." Li Yang said: "By the way, Aqiu, we are
Buy it outright or rent it?”
Song Qiu asked: "How is the market price in this city? How much money did you buy your house for?"
"This Xiushan Lane is above average in Fucheng. It is not the best location. The house price is not bad. The house that the mistress entered was introduced by a colleague of mine and cost only five hundred and fifty taels." Li Yang said.
