Wan Qing's small body seemed to have infinite explosive power, and she rushed in like a small head.
"Sister Qin'er, you lose." Wan Qingren was still at the door and had already shouted.
Qin'er had a sad face and looked at her pitifully. She wanted to resist, but she didn't dare. She could only cry miserably, "Sister."
Wan Qing rushed to Qin'er, put one hand on her hips, and stretched the other hand straight in front of Qin'er, "If you lose, bring me my winnings."
"But." However, only Wan Qing had seen what was in the bird's nest, and she had never seen it. How could she know whether Wan Qing had lied to her or not.

Wan Qing had long known that Qin'er would have such a reaction, but so what, "If sister Qin'er doubts me, you should go up the tree and have a look!"
Qin'er shut her mouth. Of course she couldn't go up and watch. If she could go up and watch, would she still say these things?
"Sister, what do you want?" Since she can't, no matter what the real answer is, she can only accept it.
"I don't know what you have, why don't you show it to your sister?" Wan Qing smiled innocently and proudly.
Yes, she lied to her and bullied her, but she didn't feel guilty at all. This was her mission in this world. The one who really bullied Qin'er was not Xiao Wanqing, but that god.
Therefore, Wan Qing looked at Qin'er strangely and smiled in her heart: "This is just the beginning." From Qin'er, Wan Qing got a golden hairpin.
What surprised Wan Qing was that for such a gold hairpin, Qin'er actually had a lot of gold and silver jewelry like that.
Thinking about it, her mother probably bought it for her. When Wan Qing took it, Qin'er was very sad, but Wan Qing chose to ignore it.
The next day, Wan Qing and Qin'er both got up early. For Wan Qing, this was the first time she went out here. Except for the small courtyard, every time she walked out of the small courtyard openly, and
It is to go outside, to the vast world outside.
For Qin'er, it was the first time she went out after her mother passed away, and it was with her father. How could she not be excited and happy?
"Mom, isn't brother going?" Wan Qing asked this question when she saw Xiao Jing going out as usual.
"Brother is going to school." There is nothing special. The relationship between students and masters is very sacred. Heaven and Earth, Lord, Prince and Master, will never allow any slacking in academic studies.
Wan Qing just asked casually, said goodbye to Xiao Jing happily, and got into the carriage with her parents.
This time, the carriage went from the entrance of their garden, to the gate of Xiao's house, and then outside. Along the way, the carriage they rode stopped three times, but they never got off once.
The first time, they met Mr. Xiao who was going out to see a patient. The second time, they met the old lady. The lady was so stupid that she scolded the whole family and scolded Xiao Tongwen for being unfilial.
Why did you scold your daughter-in-law and grandchildren? They have been back for so long, but they haven't even bothered to invite An Zhi. Naturally, Hongyun also scolded her.

In the end, Xiao Tongwen had someone force him past the old lady and let Zhao Yan drive away in a carriage. The old lady was jumping and yelling outside, but unfortunately no one paid attention to her.
As for the third time, it was a small accident. Mr. Xiao was stealing some antiques from home and preparing to get back some books. Unexpectedly, before he went out, he was unlucky enough to meet Xiao Tongwen and the others. He was caught by Zhao Yan
You can see it at a glance.
In fact, from Wan Qing's point of view, everyone can see Mr. Xiao's movement. After all, two small vases, plus about ten scrolls, are wrapped into a big bag and carried on the back.
Impossible. It's just that the people of the Xiao family have always been used to Mr. Xiao having such an extra thing on his body, so they are not surprised.
What left Wan Qing speechless was that even if Mr. Xiao bumped into Xiao Tongwen's hand, he still carried the things out confidently. As for where to go...
Xiao Tongwen just sighed and said, "Zhao Yan, please go back to our pawn shop and ask someone to take care of you." As for what to take care of, Wan Qing really didn't want to guess too much.
However, Wan Qing really couldn't believe it. Faced with such a situation, Xiao Tongwen could still be so calm, as if he didn't see it. With such an understatement, it was over.
Such an episode did not stay in Wan Qing's heart for long. Almost as soon as she walked out of the Xiao family's door, she forgot about it and focused on the outside world.
This was her first contact with a city in this world. She needed to lay an economic foundation for herself. First, she had to understand the world in detail.
Qingbo Mansion is indeed one of the most famous big cities in Fengming Country. There are many shops and crowds of people. What is rare is that the streets are extremely wide and two carriages can drive side by side without any friction. Of course, if there is another
If you want to overtake another car, it will be more difficult.
"Dad, which are our shops?" Wan Qing kept looking out at the scene, looking at the passers-by, the vendors coming and going, and the shops where customers seemed to be arriving like clouds.
Xiao Tongwen just took a casual look and pointed to the shop with the word "xiao" on the signboard, "Have you seen any shops with that word written on it? Those are the ones." Wan Qing nodded, and then concentrated on looking for the Xiao family's shop.
There are quite a few to find.

Moreover, from restaurants to cloth shops to drug stores and pawnshops, the types included are diverse and complete.
No wonder Xiao Laosan and his family are obsessed with planning the Xiao family's property. This wealth is really easy to attract people's attention.
"Uncle, we've arrived." The carriage stopped for a while, and Zhao Yan's voice came from outside.
"We're here, let's get down." Xiao Tongwen supported Hongyun and got out of the car first. There was a stool under the car. Wan Qing and Qin'er both stepped on the stool and slowly got out of the car.
The carriage stopped in front of a jade shop. On the left was a pawn shop and on the right was a teahouse. Opposite the jade shop was a bank, a very big bank, Qiaoji Bank. It was larger than all the shops here combined.
Even bigger.
"Come on, let's go in." Xiao Tongwen held Wan Qing's hand with one hand and Hongyun with the other, but Hongyun held Qin'er's hand, and the four of them entered the jade shop together.
"Dad, do you want to buy something for mom?" Wan Qing looked back at the word "Qiao" on the bank, then turned around and asked slowly.
Xiao Tongwen smiled and said nothing, just held their hands and walked in slowly.
Perhaps it was because it was still early in the morning, and although there was a lot of traffic outside, there were not many people in the jade shop. There were only two or three people. When they saw Xiao Tongwen and his family coming in, they walked around twice and then left.
"Uncle Xiao, why are you here free..." Someone immediately came out to greet him and shouted from afar. When he got seven steps closer, when he saw Hongyun, he immediately showed a look of surprise again, "This must be
Dear Madam.
When Wan Qing first heard the sentence "Uncle Xiao", she was surprised and wondered if she had arrived at some special place. When she heard the next sentence, she almost laughed.
Looking at the boss again, Wan Qing was even more surprised. She was actually a woman, and she was still a very young woman. She looked like she was only fifteen or sixteen years old. Her whole body was full of vigor, especially her two big eyes.
The eyelashes are round and round, like fans, and as the eyelids blink, they look like feathers spreading their wings.
"It turns out that Miss Yan is in the store today."
"Oh, who are these two young ladies from? They are so cute!" A pair of big, dazzling eyes kept showing off her cunning and intelligence in front of Wan Qing.

"Wan Qing, Qin'er, why don't you greet Boss Yan?"
Wan Qing and Qin'er were both blessed. They met together. Qin'er's movements were still those of a typical lady, but Wan Qing's was a little different.
"Hehehe... I like you." Yan Xiaoxi pinched Wanqing's face and smiled happily. Then she raised her head and shouted: "Xueying, take out all the good things in our store.
,Stop being so stingy and hiding everything..."
Wan Qing's eyes were always on Boss Yan, and she was instantly interested in this jade shop.
"I like you too." Wan Qing also smiled, and at the same time turned to look at the stairs in the room. Instead of going from top to bottom, but from behind the stairs, a girl walked out.
"Thanks."
"Xueying has met Mr. Xiao, Mrs. Xiao, and the two young ladies." She was a gentle and graceful woman. There was a faint smile on her face, which gave people a warm feeling from beginning to end, neither tepid nor hot, like
She is a beauty who stepped out of a painting, and she really doesn't look like a businessman at all.
However, she happened to be a businesswoman, holding a tray with several boxes on it. Behind her, several more women came out, each holding a tray in their hands and covering it with silk.
"Uncle Xiao, these are the best of our exquisite jades. You and Madam will look at them first. If you are satisfied with anything, just say so." Xueying put the things away, turned around, and smiled at Yan Xiaoxi.
He smiled, turned back to the stairs, and disappeared in a flash.
"Come, ladies, let me take you to see the jade ornaments to see if there is anything you like." Yan Xiaoxi held the hands of the two girls, one on the left and the other on the right, and walked towards Xiao Tongwen and his wife who had already sat down.
The silk fabrics on the trays were all opened, and all the boxes were opened, revealing the crystal clear underneath.
"I wonder what Madam likes, do you want it to be worn by yourself or given as a gift?" Yan Xiaoxi waved her hand and asked the maids to go down, then asked Hongyun with a smile on her face.
As she finished speaking, another maid brought tea and snacks. Only then did she sit down.
"Does Boss Yan have any special introduction?" Hongyun just smiled softly and threw the question back.

"That's easy to say." Yan Xiaoxi smiled brightly, "Since Madam hasn't decided yet, let's take a look!" After looking at a few trays, she added: "If Madam wants jewelry for her own use, our store has the best jewelry.
The best ones are these two hostas, both in quality and carving, they are the best. You will never find anything better than them in Qingbo Mansion."
A box was pushed in front of Hongyun. The box had been opened. Inside, there were two identical hostas. They were white and smooth, hollowed out and carved into two water-blooming hibiscus shapes, lifelike.
"The stuff from Linglong Jade Shop is really extraordinary." Wan Qing's eyes lit up when she saw the two hairpins, but Hongyun just smiled softly, slowly lifted them up, and looked at them.
Then he turned around and glanced at Wan Qing and Qin'er, then turned to Xiao Tongwen and said, "Master, these two hairpins are very suitable for our two daughters!"
Xiao Tongwen nodded slightly, and then picked up the two hostas. He frowned and turned to look at Yan Xiaoxi, "Boss Yan, you are not very kind..."
Yan Xiaoxi actually didn't have any guilty conscience and just smiled, "Uncle Xiao really has good eyesight, but don't you think this is better?" After saying that, he glanced at Wan Qing and Qin'er, and smiled thoughtfully.
.
Xiao Tongwen nodded, "Indeed."
"Dad, is there something wrong?" Wan Qing asked as she reached out and took out the two hostas and compared them carefully in front of her eyes. Upon seeing this, she immediately let out a light sigh, "Hey, there are actually some defects.
"On the petals, there is a little bit, very small, like a bite from an insect. If you don't look carefully, you will never find it.
"Miss, you have good eyesight." Yan Xiaoxi's eyes showed appreciation, and the smile on her face became deeper.
"There is something else here..." Yan Xiaoxi changed the subject and began to introduce other jade ornaments to Hongyun, whether they were pendants, bracelets, earrings and rings. There were also some large jade products, such as jade Ruyi, jade Buddha, and jade pots.
...The display is full, except for the pair of hostas, there is only one other.
Of course, in Yan Xiaoxi's words, each one is the best and unique.

It is natural and reasonable for business people to brag about themselves. Moreover, the jade ornaments here are indeed outstanding. Not only is the jade quality clear and pure, but the carving work is even rarer.
At least, all the jade ornaments that Wan Qing saw in Hongyun's current collection were not as good as the carvings here. The ones that were inferior were definitely not on the same level.
In addition to the two hairpins at the beginning, Xiao Tongwen asked Wan Qing and Qin'er to each choose two jade ornaments they liked. Qin'er chose a jade pendant and a jade bracelet. When it was Wan Qing's turn, she originally wanted to choose two large jade ornaments.
If it is a piece, she can buy it with money in the future. Who told her not to understand jade? All she can think of is that the bigger it is, the more valuable it is.
However, when I saw a pair of earrings later, I couldn't help but choose them. The earrings were a pair of small lotus flowers, which matched the hosta very well.
"The two ladies have good eyesight." Yan Xiaoxi praised her endlessly. She was extremely happy. Today was a good start. She made such a sound early in the morning, so she was naturally in a good mood.
After spending nearly an hour in the jade shop, Xiao Tongwen suggested that he take her to visit his own shop, and then go to the Xiao's hotel for dinner. In the afternoon, he would send them to see the in-law gouache shop.
, and then Zhao Yan would take them home.
Xiao Tongwen, on the other hand, needs to go back to the shop. In the afternoon, he teaches Xiao Jing how to take care of the family business.
There are many shops in the Xiao family, and of course it is impossible to see them all at once. I only visited a tailor shop and a pawn shop, both of which were not far from that street. She could understand going to a tailor shop, and the three of them chose a few outfits impromptuly.
Clothes, but when she went to the pawn shop, she didn't understand. However, when Xiao Tongwen asked Mr. Xiao about it as soon as he went there, she understood.
The Xiao family's restaurant business seemed to be very good. When Wan Qing and his party arrived, two and a half floors of the third-floor restaurant were already full, with only one or two empty tables on the second floor.
Xiao Tongwen, as the boss, had already made arrangements for today, so he had a private room on the third floor early. As soon as Wan Qing and the others arrived, they were immediately led into the private room.
"Dad, can I go out and take a look?" Everything outside is definitely more interesting than eating.
"Wan Qing, it's such a mess up there, you..." Hong Yun immediately objected.

"Go, go." Xiao Tongwen waved his hands with a doting look on his face, "What does it have to do with my own restaurant?" Even so, he still said to Zhao Yan: "Zhao Yan, follow the lady."
"Yes, sir."
When Wan Qing heard this, she immediately rushed out.
"Come back soon, we want to have dinner together."
"Yes, mother." The voice fell and the person disappeared.
As soon as Wan Qing left everyone's sight, her pace became slower. She slowly looked at the world where people can solve the problem of eating. In any world, in any space, this is an indispensable profession, and it is a very profitable profession.
.
Moreover, here, there are also the most comprehensive human beings in the world. Everyone of any class or occupation needs to eat. To understand an era, there is no place faster than here.
