"There are ten single rooms on the third floor, and each room has been rented out for a long time." Zhao Yan followed Wan Qing, watching her looking around with a calm face, and then whispered something to her,
Keep her from wandering around.
"Those who can stay in Yunlai Restaurant for a long time are all wealthy and powerful people. You can't offend anyone easily. Especially the current Xiao family, you can't offend anyone."
Wan Qing paused, turned around and glared at Zhao Yan, "I'm just a child."
Zhao Yan curled her lips and said with a smile: "Yes, the lady is indeed a child."
Wan Qing glared at him again, then turned around and continued walking forward. However, she forgot that this was a public place, strangers could be seen everywhere, and it was inevitable that there would be one or two people who liked to listen in the corner.
Therefore, she was a little surprised when she heard a "puff" sound of laughter after she had only taken two steps.
"Who is it?" Of course the voice couldn't be harsh. She was just a child, so she could only be curious and annoyed.
"I'm sorry, I'm rude." A little boy of thirteen or fourteen years old turned out of the door of a private room. The door was just around the corner, so she didn't see it before.
"Who are you?" Wan Qing looked up and down at the little boy for a while. He was dressed in simple and elegant brocade, and every accessory on his body was extremely exquisite. Although it was not very luxurious, the exquisiteness was extremely rare.

And the little boy himself also exudes a natural aura of aloofness. Although he is smiling at this time, it is not seen that he is very kind. It is just that he suddenly made some kind of like, which is enough to amuse him.
It's just a toy, showing joy and joy.
This kind of look made Wan Qing dislike her very much, even a little annoying.
"Master Qiao, we are here for dinner. Do you need any help?" When Zhao Yan saw the person coming, she quickly stepped forward and stood sideways in front of Wan Qing.
"So it's Guard Zhao." Although Master Qiao was talking to Zhao Yan, his eyes were still looking at Wan Qing with a smile. And the look in his eyes became more and more weird, which made Wan Qing more and more unhappy and annoying.
."I wonder who this is?"
"This is my second young lady." Zhao Yan replied respectfully, and then she felt blessed again, "I'm sorry, Master Qiao, my young lady... uh, excuse me for a moment."
Master Qiao's face immediately showed a look of understanding, but at the same time he looked a little embarrassed. He coughed twice and said, "Then I won't disturb Miss Xiao Er."
Master Qiao finally turned around and entered his private room. Before Wan Qing could understand what Zhao Yan meant by making a mess, she was urged: "Don't you want to go downstairs, Miss? The food will be served here in a moment."
"
Wan Qing immediately stepped forward again, but this time, she no longer looked slowly and carefully, but only took a rough look. Even with this glance, she could see that from the third floor to the second floor
, the grade has dropped not just a little bit. From the second floor to the first floor, it is another grade.
The people eating are different, which can be easily seen from their dress and temperament, and the content of their conversations is also completely different.
She couldn't hear what the people on the third floor were talking about, and the sound in the private room was extremely quiet. Most of the people on the second floor were talking about major events in the north and south, such as where a martial arts champion was born, so what if the champion...and where?
A severe drought affects the people, and so does the officials... Although most of them are just hearsay, they are well-founded and not groundless.
The third floor is much simpler, with firewood, rice, oil and salt, Zhang’s parents and Li’s family’s shortcomings, whose daughter is married to whose daughter...it’s always inseparable from those things in Qingbo Mansion. What Wan Qing finds most interesting is that there are half of them
Everyone is talking about the third master of the Xiao family.

This really made her not know how to react. However, after she secretly glanced at Zhao Yan and saw that he was serious and reacted as if he didn't hear anything, she decided to ignore it...
When we returned to the private room, the food started to be served. It was a very enjoyable meal.
"Master, Master Qiao is here." However, there are always some discordant sounds.
When the meal was over and the family was preparing to evacuate, Zhao Yan suddenly pushed open the door and entered.
"Master Qiao?" Xiao Tongwen looked confused. He didn't understand what it meant that Master Qiao suddenly came here at this time. However, this is his own shop after all, and those who come here are guests. As the host, he cannot be rude to others.
.
"Please." He looked at the mess on the table and nodded to Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan was already prepared. When the door opened again, the waiter came in immediately and put away the bowls on the table.
"Brother Xiao, what a coincidence. I didn't expect you to have dinner here."
As soon as Master Qiao came in, he smiled and glanced at Wan Qing and Qin'er. Master Qiao's expression was naturally seen in Xiao Tongwen's eyes. Although he was puzzled and confused, he remained calm, but
He then stood up and greeted him with a big smile.
"Brother Qiao, what a coincidence..."
The two of them chattered together, which was all lies, and they talked for a long time without saying anything important.
"I'm Tianchu, the little boy. Come, Tianchu, come and meet Xiao Shibo and the two young ladies."
"My nephew Qiao Tianchu has met my uncle, my aunt, and my two younger sisters." Wan Qing watched the young man she had seen before walk in from the door, with the same smile on his face that he had seen before, which made Wan Qing very uncomfortable.
Shadow hummed in his heart, he is really good at building relationships. In just two sentences, he became a world sister. Wan Qing suddenly thought about the relationship between Mr. Qiao and the Qiaoji Bank that he saw before.
"Wan Qing, Qin'er, come to see Qiao Shibo and Brother Shi." Naturally, Xiao Tongwen couldn't let his daughter be rude to others.
"I've met Qiao Shibo, Brother Qiao Shi." Wan Qing is the elder sister, so naturally she has to take the first step. However, she did not announce her name. For no other reason than because she didn't want to announce her name in front of the boy with the weird smile on his face.
There was no point in insisting, but she insisted on it.

Qiao Tianchu seemed to understand what she was thinking. After hearing her words, the smile on his face became thicker and his eyes kept staring at her as if nothing had happened.
Wan Qing felt that she had obsessive-compulsive disorder. Maybe it wasn't her that people were looking at, but that's how she felt. Qiao Tianchu was looking at her, like a cat looking at a mouse, like a bad child looking at a novel toy or a pet.
, thinking about how to play with the eyes when torturing.
"Qin'er has met Shibo, Brother Shi." Qin'er's movements are still standard, and her voice is still sweet, not at all like Wan Qing's perfunctory tone.
"Okay, okay, okay. Brother Xiao is so lucky..." Mr. Qiao didn't know why, but he was in an unexpectedly good mood. His eyes kept scanning Wan Qing and Qin'er, and he kept praising them.
This girl praised her for a quarter of an hour before she finally stopped when Qin'er's face turned as red as rouge. Of course, only Qin'er would be embarrassed by those words. As for late
Qing, if these are just meant to be polite and have no practical meaning, just ignore them.
Of course, when Mr. Qiao was praising Wan Qing and Qin'er, Mr. Xiao was not idle either. He praised Qiao Tianchu for everything in the world. Obviously, Qiao Tianchu was quite thick-skinned. After hearing those words, he actually talked to Wan Qing.
Same, no reaction at all.
Therefore, Wan Qing immediately understood one thing, that is, this Qiao Tianchu not only had some bad elements deep in his soul, but he was also a very thick-skinned ruffian and a rogue type of person, but he was hidden under his gorgeous and noble appearance.
.
"Shibo, can I take the two ladies out for a walk?" Seeing that the two of them seemed to have no intention of stopping and complimenting each other, not only Wan Qing was impatient, but even Qiao Tianchu was impatient.
"What I'm talking about is that I heard that the bookstore next door has recently purchased some particularly beautiful slim characters. I believe the two ladies will like them."
Wan Qing remembered that the bookstore next door seemed to be Qiaoji.
"Okay, Wan Qing, Qin'er, let's go and have a look with Mr. Qiao." Seeing Wan Qing's surprised look, he added, "Go, your brother just said that he needs some pens, inks, paper and inkstones. Mr. Qiao is very interested in these."
But he’s very good at it.”
As he said that, he took out a purple purse and handed it to Wan Qing, "If you like it, just buy it."

"Hahaha, Brother Xiao really loves to joke." Mr. Qiao laughed, turned to Qiao Tianchu and said: "Tianchu, what do you two ladies like, just grab the best one..."
Mr. Qiao and Mr. Xiao were polite there again. Wan Qing, Qin'er and Qiao Tianchu blessed everyone before leaving together under the leadership of Qiao Tianchu.
Wan Qing didn't want to go with them. Instead of going to Qiao's bookstore, she wanted to walk alone, go shopping, and bargain with the vendors on the street.
It's a pity that she has no choice.
"Sister Wan Qing, what books do you usually like to read?" Qiao Tianchu asked her with a kind smile just after she was out of everyone's sight.
Wan Qing blinked, smiled, shook her head and said: "I never study, and I don't like reading." Turning her head, she looked at Qin'er and smiled again, "My sister, she likes reading very much! Wait a minute, Qiao
Young master, you have to choose some good books for my sister."
While they were talking, they had already arrived at Qiaoji Bookstore.
"Master..." Before he reached the door, someone from the store came out to greet him.
"Take out all the best pens, inks, paper and inkstones in our store." Qiao Tianchu swaggered into the bookstore, followed closely by Wan Qing and Qin'er.
Wan Qing looked at everything, looked at all the people and things she could see, and kept them in her heart. The bookstore was very large. Near the door was a large counter, and behind it were many bookcases filled with books.
There are all new books. As soon as you step into the bookstore, you can immediately smell the rich fragrance of ink.
People who like it will like it very much, and people who don't like it will hate it. Wan Qing happens to like it. In addition to the smell of ink from books, there is also the smell of Chinese medicine from the Chinese medicine store, which are her favorites.
So, as soon as she stepped into the bookstore, she immediately took a long breath and inhaled the aroma into her lungs. Her mood, which had been bad because of Qiao Tianchu, also improved.
"Sister, you and Master Qiao go and choose. Remember, you can also choose some good pens, inks, paper and inkstones for your brother."
"Yes, sister." Qin'er is always the best-behaved and obedient sister, so she nodded slowly, and then looked at Qiao Tianchu timidly.
Qiao Tianchu just smiled at Wan Qing and waved to the waiter on the side, "Greetings to Miss Xiao Er."

"Yes, Master."
"Second sister, take your time and watch. If anything happens, just tell them."
"Thank you, Master Qiao." Wan Qing responded, but she rolled her eyes in displeasure, "Second sister?" Fortunately, he could shout out loud without feeling disgusted.
"Second sister, why are you so polite? I already call you second sister. Shouldn't second sister call you brother?" Qiao Tianchu was so shameless and shameless that his skills seemed to be very high.
Gao Wanqing was completely speechless and didn't know how to answer this man's shameless remarks. So, she could only turn around hard and get into the bookshelf next to her. There were many bookshelves, so many, and there were even more books on the bookshelves.
Wan Qing didn't dare to look carefully, so she could only pick out two books at random and flip through them.
She had no interest in these ordinary poetry and classics. What she was interested in was the way the entire bookstore operated.
Probably because it was lunch time, there was no one in the bookshop. The only ones there were the shopkeeper and a few servants responsible for cleaning and organizing.
Things always seemed very simple on the surface. It didn't take long for her to understand the layout of the entire bookshop. However, the biggest problem and the most important point in running a bookshop was
What she couldn't figure out was the origin of these books.
Thinking that it would be a bit abrupt to directly ask someone about the source of the book, Wan Qing had no choice but to give up.
Although she is in desperate need of financial resources now, it is not something that can be done in a day or two, let alone three hundred and sixty jobs. She has to choose one from so many industries that suits her identity and personality.
It's not easy. What's more, in her previous life, she had just graduated from school. In that short life, she only worked hard to become an agent, and many other things were ignored by her.
She has no experience at all in business matters.
"Maybe, I don't necessarily have to do business." Wan Qing casually took the book in her hand and opened it subconsciously. In her previous life, she studied design, jewelry design. If nothing unexpected happened, based on her nature as an agent, she used
The job that faces the world is probably jewelry designer. “I wonder if there is such a profession in this world?”

"So the second sister likes books like this!" A teasing tone rang in her ears. Wan Qing raised her head suddenly and saw Qiao Tianchu staring at her without smiling, her eyes scanning the book in her hand from time to time.
Scanning again, I saw Qin'er also looking surprised, looking at the book in her hand thoughtfully and a little in disbelief.
Did she take something special? Wan Qing raised the book in front of her in confusion, but was dumbfounded when she saw it. It turned out to be a copy of "Farming"! Fortunately, Wan Qing's expression did not change and she conveniently picked up the book.
Throwing it on the bookshelf again, "What book is this?"
Qiao Tianchu immediately looked at Wan Qing in confusion, and then scanned the bookshelf, "Piano score."
Qin'er glanced at Qiao Tianchu in surprise, lowered her eyelids, but did not speak. She just walked up to Wan Qing and said, "Sister, I have chosen, and I have also chosen pen, ink, paper and inkstone for my brother. Do you want me to take a look at it?"
Wan Qing waved her hand, "Just make your choice. I don't understand this anyway." She suddenly frowned and looked at Qiao Tianchu, "Master Qiao, I don't know, can I also choose some paper?" Since there is someone there,
It's a free gift, she doesn't want it for free. If you don't take advantage of it, you will be struck by lightning.
"Does the second sister also want to practice calligraphy?"
Wan Qing chuckled, "No, it's used to paper the windows."
Qiao Tianchu was speechless, a little dumbfounded, and looked at Wan Qing with a look of suspicion and maybe a little depressed, "Okay, I'll take my second sister to choose."
Wan Qing reached out and played the piano, "Sister, come with me. I remember that the window paper in your room is also old. Since Master Qiao gave it to us so generously, we can't postpone it, right?"
Qiao Tianchu paused for a moment before continuing forward. Wan Qing saw it and pretended not to see it. Qin'er, on the other hand, had an embarrassed look on her face. She probably thought that with such a free-spirited sister,
Very embarrassing.
Half an hour had passed since the three of them returned to the Yunlai Restaurant next door. Although Wan Qing claimed to be illiterate, she was still forced to take a few books, which were forced upon her by Qiao Tianchu.
In the spirit of taking nothing for nothing, Wan Qing accepted it. However, with only those few books, Wan Qing understood Qiao Tianchu's limits. The woman he liked must be good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
That's it. Look at the book he chose for her, it really touches on everything.
