The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

Tang Xinyi knelt on the ground, hearing these words, his face was surprised and surprised. He flicked across his mind quickly, what kind of character can't be made in Taiyuan? The prince was so angry that he went to Taiyuan this time and did not neglect what kind of talent is...

Tang Xinyi didn't wait to come up with an idea, so he fell down firmly on the ground, confessing his guilt in a humble voice: "It's not a good slave. The slave is dull. I don't know what he has done wrong, so please make it clear."

"You are in the city, have you ever bumped into... a child?"

Tang Xinyi thought about it for a moment, and then vaguely remembered: "His Royal Highness actually said this?" He was even more surprised now. Tang Xinyi's astonishment was beyond words. Qin Yi saw it, coldly, and looked at him without a smile. he.

Tang Xinyi's hands and feet were cold, and he couldn't help sweating on his back. He once again bowed his head to the ground respectfully and said: "The slave was eager to find His Majesty at that time, and this was negligent. This is a bad slave. If it is contaminated with human life, it will damage His Highness's reputation."

"Tang Xinyi, you often go out with me and chase the Tatars. You should know that it is not easy for the people at the border. I guard the customs in Datong to keep the people peaceful. I don't want to see anyone in the East Palace working in the interior. It’s a life-saving business. If not, I will treat you as I treat the Tatars."

Now the other servants in the room couldn't stand anymore, everyone fell on their knees with a plop, and didn't even care about picking a flat place. Tang Xinyi banged his head three times, his face almost stuck to the ground, and said, "It's a slave who deserves to die, and the slave will get the punishment."

After all, Tang Xinyi is a meritorious minister. After Qin Yi's beating, he no longer cuts Tang Xinyi's face. Qin Yi turned around to read the military newspaper. He scanned the two newspapers handed over by the next leader before he said lightly, "Get up."

Tang Xinyi thanked him and slowly stood up from the ground, and other people outside the house also stood up. Tang Xinyi bowed his body and waited for a while, but the prince didn't speak, he didn't dare to make his own claim. Sure enough, after Qin Yi approved a few military reports, he suddenly asked without thinking: "Who else did you meet in Taiyuan?"

Tang Xinyi carefully figured out Qin Yi's intentions. The prince was trying to test whether he had formed a party for private purposes? Tang Xinyi replied carefully, "The minion only saw Changxinghou. The minion ran into the lady of Changxinghou on the street that day, so he didn't say anything."

Qin Yi listened and sneered: "It's fine if you know. What did Changxinghou say?"

what? Tang Xinyi became more confused about what and what, what exactly did the prince want to hear? Rao is Tang Xinyi's ups and downs in the harem for many years, and now he can't understand the master's will. He can only estimate: "Changxing Hou said that it is fine, and he asked the slave to greet his highness."

Qin Yi put down the pen hard, and looked up at Tang Xinyi coldly. These minions couldn't tell the point over and over again, and Qin Yi could only ask again: "You said you ran into the girl from Changxinhou's Mansion, what's the matter?"

"This is the same thing as that child." Tang Xinyi thought that the prince didn't want to understand the connection, and quickly explained, "It's still a slave riding a horse too fast. Why not suddenly run out of a child in the middle of the road. The slave can't stop it. The horse's head can be turned forcibly. The young lady in their family moved fast and pulled the child away. The girl in Changxinghou was funny, and the lady dared to stare at the minion when he left."

"Heh." Qin Yi laughed and asked, "Why, can't you stare at it?"

Chu Jinyao dared to stare at him, but Tang Xinyi dared to object?

Tang Xinyi heard that the master's tone was wrong, sweating like rain, and quickly lowered his head, his waist almost bent to the ground: "Naturally stare. It is the slave who is at fault, and the slave should be punished."

Seeing that what Tang Xinyi said was true, Qin Yi was finally willing to raise his hand high and let Tang Xinyi go down to receive the punishment. "Okay, you can go down. The army stick pick it up by yourself. If you let me know that you should work together inside and outside, and work together to cheat..." Qin Yi didn't continue his next words, and Tang Xinyi already understood it.

"The slave dare not. The slave knelt down, and your Highness is blessed."

Xiao Linzi was stunned by him. What did Tang Xinyi do to make the prince so angry? According to the rules of the palace, the boards are both fictitious and real. With Tang Xinyi's position, no one who executed the **** dared to really hit him. They were just let go. But having said that, no master in the palace dared to make an order to embarrass Mr. Tang. Except for the prince.

Twenty army sticks are really hard to fight, even if Tang Gonggong has learned the internal martial arts, I am afraid it will not be easy.

Tang Xinyi faced the prince and went out backwards. He is a slave, and it would be disrespectful to face His Highness with his back. After walking far away, Tang Xinyi quietly turned around and walked quickly toward the door.

Tang Xinyi was about to go out, and suddenly heard the prince say again: "Stop."

Tang Xinyi stopped immediately, turned around and stood up respectfully: "What is your command?"

"You can get these twenty army clubs when you come back. Now, you go to Taiyuan and do something for me."

Qi Desheng personally watched the guy lock the warehouse, and then went to the store to inspect it again. After making sure that there were no omissions, he backed his hands and walked slowly towards his house.

He was served by others and changed his clothes, and then he asked his precious son again. Then he sent everyone away and went to the study to settle the accounts.

He has been in the business for many years, and the ancestral property of the Qi family has been doubled in his hands several times. In his grandfather's generation, the Qi family was just a small cloth merchant selling on the streets. Nowadays, the branch has opened all over Shanxi, and there are three stores in Taiyuan. Qi Desheng even spent a lot of money to manage the way, stupefied that he came back with the name of an imperial merchant. Qi Desheng's business talents far surpassed his grandfather and father, and even now he has achieved achievements that his grandparents would never even have imagined. It's a pity that he walked around in the mall, and he was also a well-known character when he spoke out, but he was simply stuck in the heir.

He is over forty and has no child under his knees, not to mention a son, not even a girl, so he can't find someone to cut the door. Fortunately, he gave the Buddha the 10,000 taels of sesame oil money. When Qi Desheng was forty-two, the fourth concubine suddenly became pregnant. Qi Desheng was overjoyed. After the child was born, he confirmed that it was his own blood. The concubine helped him upright and became his wife. The mother is expensive by the child, how could his only child be raised by the little mother?

Thinking of this, Qi Desheng is still a little scared. His Duo Miao was almost taken back by God two days ago. Thanks to the lady in the Changxing Hou Mansion, he would have to follow him. In other words, that rootless **** is simply horrible. He even dared to scare his lone seedling. Even now, Bao'er still has nightmares at night.

Qi Desheng muttered as he opened the door. After he opened the door, he snorted and said, "Why don't you light up the lights, these people are getting more and more unruly..."

After Qi Desheng adjusted to the darkness of the room, his eyes were able to see, he swept around at random, and fell on the door with a bang, his knees all weakened.

"Great...sir?"

Tang Xinyi sat on the chair of the Supreme Master in the center, his deadly face sank in the darkness, becoming more and more weird. Qi Desheng looked panicked, he shivered and said, "My father-in-law, why are you here? Are you here to pay your filial piety? Hey, wait, I'll take it!"

Qi Desheng was about to open the door immediately to fetch gold and silver treasures. Tang Xinyi said, "Stop."

This sentence made Qi Desheng dare not move any more. Qi Desheng looked at Tang Xinyi tremblingly. The experienced businessmen in the Shang dynasty were scared to cry at this moment. Tang Xinyi said: "I still look down on your things. Come here and I will order you a few things."

"The adults don't want money?" Qi Desheng didn't know whether to rest assured or worry, he could only say with a smile, "Being able to do things for adults is a small blessing! I just don't know, what do adults do?"

The next day, Chu Jinyao went to Zhao's place to order a Mao, and then went back to her house and sat under the window to do needlework. Now she suddenly had a lot more money in her hands, and silk, silk, cloth and other fabrics of various colors were filled with two boxes. In the past, she had nothing on hand, clever women could hardly cook without rice, and could not do anything she wanted. Now that she suddenly became rich, Chu Jinyao had the intention to make clothes that she liked.

She used to like to mess around with these things very much. Unfortunately, the Su family was poor. Their sisters’ clothes had to be sewn and mended. They didn’t give up until they couldn’t wear them. When they returned to the Changxing Hou Mansion, the Chu family had money, but they didn’t have any money. On her head, she relies on subsidies from the public school. Where is the extra fabric to cause her harm? Finally, she is better now. She has two boxes of fabrics, silk, silk, and cotton all available. No one can criticize what she wants to do.

Chu Jinyao slid while threading the needles and threading. She left it two months ago. She probably didn't even dare to think about it. One day, she could own thirty taels of silver and two wooden boxes of cloth. It's a pity that Qin Yi is no longer there. She can't tell him these words. What's even more sad is that apart from Qin Yi, there is no one else Chu Jinyao can share with such a big house.

As Chu Jinyao thought about it, she felt a little lost. The curtain was suddenly opened, and then, Kikyo's voice sounded: "Girl, the old lady sent someone to find you."

Chu Jinyao immediately regained consciousness. She put down the sewing basket and walked out after finishing her clothes. "Why did grandmother suddenly find me? Is there anything important?"

The maid who passed the message smiled and said, "The girl will know when she goes."

Chu Jinyao walked to Rongning Hall suspiciously. When she arrived, she saw a pile of things parked in the yard as soon as she entered the yard. The maids were talking around the red wooden box, and when they saw Chu Jinyao, they shouted in a crisp voice: "Old ancestor, the five girls are here."

Madam Gu had long heard the sound, she raised the curtain for Chu Jinyao and smiled: "Five girls are here! The ancestors are talking about you."

Chu Jinyao looked at Rongningtang's battle, no matter how he saw guests were there, and the guests visited, why did he talk about her? Chu Jinyao leaned into the house, saw the person coming, and said unexpectedly: "Treasurer Qi?"

"Hey, it's me!" The shopkeeper Qi stood up and arched his hands, and Chu Jinyao was also very lucky. The old lady smiled and beckoned Chu Jinyao to come over: "The shopkeeper Qi came here specially and insists on thanking you in person."

When Chu Jinyao heard that it turned out to be about this matter, she quickly said, "The shopkeeper is too polite. It's just a matter of effort. You don't have to keep it in your heart."

"The girl saved my old only son. For the girl, this is a simple effort, but for me, this is the great kindness." Qi Desheng stood on the ground with a mellow smile on his face. No wonder he could Make the business so big. Qi Desheng said: "Money is a vulgar thing, but the girl saved my child. How can this be paid off with a few boxes? I know that the girl is noble and does not lack these things, but I am a low-class merchant, except for these. Blocking things, I can't offer anything else. If the girl doesn't dislike it, just accept it."

Chu Jinyao followed Qi Desheng's gestures and looked out of the window, only to realize that all the boxes outside were all for her! Chu Jinyao was frightened, and she quickly said: "No way, I have already received the treasurer's stuff, how can I receive such a heavy gift?"

Qi Desheng said, "If the girl refuses to accept it, it will look down on me. Although I am a merchant, I also know how to repay the kindness of dripping water, not to mention the great kindness of the girl in our house! If the girl refuses to accept it, It’s just to make me a wolf-hearted person who knows no gratitude."

When it comes to this, what else can Chu Jinyao say? The old lady saw that Qi Desheng was really determined to give Chu Jinyao gifts, and she sighed that this man would do business, and he deserves to be the great treasurer of the Qi family, and he even gave him a favor. This is in place. The old lady also said: "Since it is the heart of Qi shopkeeper, you just accept it."

The old lady has spoken, and Chu Jinyao can only respond. She almost watched with trepidation as everyone put the cages back together and carried them towards her yard one by one. Seeing that Chu Jinyao was finally willing to accept things, Qi Desheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his hands, and said to the old lady: "Old ancestor, I have another thing. I want to talk to the fifth girl."

Mrs. Chu was also surprised, this is not over yet? She looked at Qi Desheng's appearance without being fake, so she nodded faintly, and said: "Gu's, you take the shopkeeper Qi and the fifth girl to talk in the mansion."

Madam Gu should be, and she led them to the east to embrace the mansion. Chu Jinyao and the shopkeeper Qi sat in Baosha. Although it was said that women who had not left the pavilion should not meet foreign men, Qi Desheng was a businessman and was over forty years old, so he could be regarded as the elder of Chu Jinyao. Besides, the surrounding light is bright, and there is a maid guarding a few steps away, and Mrs. Chu is watching outside, and no one is going to gossip. After Qi Desheng sat down, he said, "Fifth girl, let's not hide it from you, after you rescued the dog, I couldn't sleep for a few days and always dreamed of funeral. I discussed with my wife and decided to come again. Take a trip to the Hou Mansion. I took the liberty to visit today. There are many nuisances, please don't blame the five girls."

Chu Jinyao stood up and walked with happiness, and said, "How dare you."

Qi Desheng continued: "Those things were just sorted out by the villain from the storeroom and put on makeup for the girl. Although the girl has not yet decided to marry the girl, it is really offensive for me to say this to the girl. But no matter what I say, it is reasonable. That’s how it is. It’s always okay to have more money with you. Girl, I’m rough, don’t joke.”

Chu Jinyao smiled: "The shopkeeper is reasonable, I understand."

This treasurer of Qi is also a wonderful person. Nowadays, many literati really look down on merchants and feel that they are full of copper and stink, and they are even ashamed to talk about money. But Chu Jinyao is a person who has experienced hardships, how can he not understand the importance of money. Regardless of what the saint said, having wealth is the last word.

"Since the girl understands, it will be easier. I give the girl these things, to put it bluntly, to thank the girl for her kindness, and to send some money to the girl. But they all say that if you sit and eat in the sky, there are gold mountains and silver mountains without spending, so There is a new shop under my name, and I want to invite girls to buy shares."

Chu Jinyao was shocked when she heard this. She was stunned and asked, "Is the shopkeeper talking and laughing?"

"That's a joke! I really want the girl to buy shares. Although I don't have much money every month, I can make pocket money for the girl. The girl doesn't have to worry about the stock money. When I came to the Hou Mansion, I already gave it away. The thank you gift is divided into two halves, one half is carried to the old lady, the other half is converted into strands for you, written as a deed and brought." As he said, Qi Desheng took out a stack of paper from his sleeve, "girl, look, It's all here."

Chu Jinyao looked at Qi Desheng faintly, almost thinking that the treasurer Qi was mad. These business people are very particular about it, and they have some sayings such as voicing, so Qi Desheng gave her a generous gift of thanks, Chu Jinyao can understand. But, who would use his own money-making business to give people a favor? Not to mention that she was just an outsider, who saved Qi treasurer's son by coincidence, I am afraid it was Qi treasurer's own brother who made the move, and Qi treasurer would not do such a thing.

Chu Jinyao was full of complaints and not just started talking about it. In the end, she could only smile, and said: "The shopkeeper is joking."

Chu Jinyao felt that the shopkeeper Qi said this deliberately, just to show his willingness to repay. If she really did, she would be a joke. Seeing that Chu Jinyao was not taking it seriously, Qi Desheng said quickly: "Girl, who would make a business man joke about this kind of thing? Don't worry about it, I really want to give you shares. That new store is also doing a splendid business. , The running water on the book is very beautiful, the shopkeeper account should be all. It’s just that I can’t run new tricks, and I’ve gradually been overwhelmed by other companies, so I invite a girl to support me. I heard that the girl is dexterous, and I am used to it. Fiddling with these fabrics, it happened that the girl didn't have any profitable income. This is not killing two birds with one stone. Is it better for both?"

The truth sounds right at first glance, but Chu Jinyao always felt that there would be no such good things in the world. Without her contribution, or even without her contribution, someone rushed to share the profit of Jinxiu Zhuangzi? Chu Jinyao didn't believe that the world was taking such a fool. Seeing that Chu Jinyao was still not convinced, Qi Desheng jumped up in a hurry. Chu Jinyao looked at the shopkeeper earnestly, not like joking, so she stood up and said, "I dare not master myself. I will ask the elders."

Qi Desheng quickly responded. Chu Jinyao went out and told Mrs. Chu about this matter. Mrs. Chu was also surprised after hearing this. Is Qi Desheng crazy? How can anyone take their own store so generously as a favor?

Qi Desheng explained to the old lady both earnestly and with signs, and took out the contract to the old lady for review. The old lady looked back and forth several times and was sure that Qi Desheng hadn't played tricks. It seemed that he really wanted Chu Jinyao to buy shares, which was completely free. Old Madam Chu was a little uncertain, so she tentatively said: "The shopkeeper Qi is so warm and touched, and the old man is very moved. I don't know, what else does the shopkeeper plan?"

"I don't have any plans, I just want to repay the fifth girl." The shopkeeper Qi was afraid that the old lady thought he had another high picture, and quickly raised his hand to swear, "The old lady and the girl don't worry. I swear by the reputation of our Qijia cloth house. If I want to use This incident was set up for the five girls, and I deserved to be scolded by everyone, and I couldn't hold onto my ancestors' inheritance."

The merchant's high reputation is already a very heavy oath. The old lady and Chu Jinyao looked at each other, and both felt that Monk Zhang Er was puzzled. Mrs. Chu had no choice but to say: "Since the shopkeeper Qi insists on doing this, the old man will accept it first. When the shopkeeper Qi changes his mind, just come to the old man."

"Qi is a businessman, how could he do this kind of thing!" Qi Desheng looked at the contract in the old lady's hand and said, "Qi is really grateful to the five girls, and wants to do his best to make his benefactor a better life, no Dare to say anything else, at least, don't be wronged on money."

When the old lady heard it, she understood that Qi Desheng was suggesting that these were for Chu Jinyao. Mrs. Chu was inevitably displeased by people thinking about it this way, but after another thought, she felt that it was normal for merchants to be defensive. So Mrs. Chu put a stack of deed papers in Chu Jinyao's palm and said, "Shopkeeper Qi gave you these, so you accept them first. Shopkeeper Qi knows the rewards of grace like this, you can't let him down."

With these things in her hand, Chu Jinyao almost felt that her palms were hot. When she saw the cloth shop of the Qi family last time she went out, she also wondered when she could have a satin shop. As a result, this happened?

In the evening, Mrs. Chu talked about this with Chang Xinghou specially. Chang Xinghou carefully read the contract and waited for several days, but did not see Qi Desheng doing anything, as if he really didn’t want anything like this, just simple. Give money to Chu Jinyao.

The big treasurer of the Qi family, is this going to do good deeds?

The fact that Qi Desheng had sent more things to Chu Jinyao soon spread throughout the Hou Mansion, and in order to calm the incident, the old lady specifically ordered Chu Jinyao not to talk about the shop. Chu Jinyao is not stupid either. With such a large box, she can't hide it, but how could she tell others about the shop's contract?

The few mahogany boxes she brought in without knowing what they were inside were enough to make people jealous. If someone knew that she still had a way to make money for a long time, wouldn't it be troublesome? Chu Jinyao understands this truth very well.

Under the lamp, Chu Jinyao flew dexterously with his fingers, and in a short while, he slapped a wire with gold thread. She replaced Xinluozi on a jade pendant, and said as she put it on, "Qize, do you know that there are really rich people in this world who have given me a lot of money for nothing! I thank you for your good words, and really give you another one." Jin Luozi!"

Chu Jinyao smiled as she said, she put the jade pendant upright on the table, and under the light, the gold thread shimmered with golden light, which made the jade texture more dazzling. She looked at Yupei, and the smile on her face quickly faded: "Now I finally have the ability to replace you with a new network, but you are no longer there. I wish you were still there, you see, there are many people in the back house now. Staring at me, I suddenly got a fortune. How can I not attract attention? The grandmother and the other maids in the yard are all about to move. My grandmother's attitude towards me is very strange, and Chu Jinmiao makes no secret of her. Malice. I am now like a three-year-old child, carrying my daughter across the market. Zize, I feel very scared, but where are you?"

After Chu Jinyao finished speaking, no one in the room answered for a long time, only the candlelight pulsed up and down. She chuckled mockingly, and whispered: "I should know that this jade pendant is already a dead thing. You will come out to help me when you see me being neglected by the maid. Now I really have a life crisis, how about you? Will you just sit back and ignore it? Where have you been, and you won't even say goodbye to me."

She paused for a while before she said: "If you are still there, you will definitely say that your own affairs will be solved by your own brain. You always say this in your mouth, but in private you can't wait to solve everything for me. I always know. However, in addition to being stared at this time and seeking property, I will encounter housekeeping problems in the future, mother-in-law making things difficult, and my husband accepting concubines, but are I the only one left?"

There will be no answer to these words of Chu Jinyao. Qin Yi briefly appeared by her side to let her see the vastness of the sky, and then disappeared into her world without looking back. With him, she was just a small mistake in his life, and to Chu Jinyao, Qin Yi was the only glimpse of her long and pale boudoir life.

"You will live well, although I still don't know where you went." Chu Jinyao finally put the jade pendant away and put it close to her heart, "I will live well too. You taught me this. Many, how can I live up to your efforts? I finally have my own shop. Although it is just a share purchase, it is still half a shopkeeper. I can finally take Sister Su Hui over."

"Look, my wish has been fulfilled. Yours will also be fulfilled." Chu Jinyao suddenly felt that the lights in front of her were a little dazzling. She blinked her eyes quickly, and when everything became clear, Chu Jinyao stood up and lowered her head. Said, "Good night, Zize."

In Datong in the breezy night, the city walls are hunted with torches and guarded tightly.

"His Royal Highness, we saw through the Tatar night attack, and I didn't dare to come today if I want to come. The wind is heavy in the middle of the night, please go back and rest first."

Qin Yi looked into the depths of the bottomless desert with a solemn expression. Today, Tartar struggled with a small group of cavalry, and once again attacked Guancheng at night. If he hadn't come to inspect the city wall temporarily, they would have been caught. Qin Yi wanted to wait until late at night. The Tatars were cunning and faceless. Every time they sneak attacked, they would run away as soon as they attacked. He was really annoyed. But after all, Qin Yi's body was awakened from a long illness, and he couldn't stand up all night. Qin Yi was not reconciled and could only nod his head: "Okay, be careful, don't let them find a loophole."

"Yes, your Highness Gongsend."

Qin Yi walked on the wall like a beast in the dark. The torch beside him suddenly jumped, and Qin Yi stopped as if feeling.

"His Royal Highness, what's the matter?"

Qin Yi recovered, how could he feel that he heard Chu Jinyao's voice? Qin Yi shook his head, his voice was blown away in the night breeze: "It's nothing. Maybe I really should rest."
