Villain’s Koi Fish Mother

"Old Zhao, have you heard that the Qin Mansion will hold a martial arts competition recently, and the top three winners in the martial arts competition will become Miss Qin's personal bodyguards."

"Miss Qin Jia didn't have an affair some time ago, and she was dismissed? Who is so rare that she has broken shoes, and she still needs bodyguards?"

"This lady from a rich family, even if she is divorced, not many people rush to marry. Besides, Miss Qin is a great beauty."

"Who did you tell me? This Qin family collapsed a long time ago. Miss Qin was in tears all day after she was retired. The Feng Shui of this Qin family was crying a long time ago. The three Qin family drug stores on Dexing Street used to The business is so good, it has recently closed down, and the shops have moved out."

"Is there anything? But I see the notice of the martial arts competition clearly stated that the top three in the competition will be hired by the Qin family, and it will cost one thousand taels a month."

"One thousand taels? Really? How much is it? I'm afraid the Qin family has lost their minds."

"Can there be fakes after posting notices to the public?"

"Hey, I thought the Qin family was going to decline, but I didn't expect the family to be so thick."

"The things of this big family are really changing day by day. The Bohui Casino went to Qin Mansion to collect debts a few days ago. I saw it with my own eyes and it changed in a blink of an eye."

"It's better to take care of the three melons and two dates in your own family. No matter how rich the Qin family is, they won't do things like ordinary people like us."

"It's also said that everyone has his own life, and this will be the way we live in this life."

The passers-by in the tea shop on the street stopped and chatted about the recent Gonzo incidents in the capital. What they didn’t notice was that the one in the corner was wearing a bamboo hat, the brim of the hat was pressed very low, and the waist was parted. A man with a sword is listening carefully while drinking tea.

Just as several people were about to change the subject, the man suddenly got up and walked over in two steps.

"Excuse me, this big brother, where is the notice you mentioned? I haven't been able to see it all along the way."

"There is one just around the corner, why, brother, do you want to participate?"

The man nodded, "Try it now."

Hearing this, the other party looked at the man several times, frowning and advising: "Brother, it's not that I attacked you. With your pure beauty and this thin body, I am afraid that it is not comparable to those burly men who have signed up. It's better not to suffer this loss."

Hearing the words, the man nodded slightly at the corner of his mouth, and walked out of the tea shop without answering the person who was speaking.

"Lianxin, what do you think of this dress? Does it look good?"

Li Xia stood on a bronze mirror and admired her improved clothes. Of course, she was only responsible for directing. It was the maid Lianxin who really changed her hands. After all, as a handicapped, her ability to sew buttons was already her limit.

"Miss looks good in everything, but Miss, is this dress too crude?"

"Not simple, I like it."

Li Xia turned around in front of the mirror, very satisfied with what she was wearing.

Although the ancient costumes look good, the three-layer and three-layers here are simply too cumbersome for people who are used to wearing white T-shirts and short shorts.

If you walk in a large range, you will step on the skirt, and if you walk in the garden, the skirt will be hooked. People like Li Xia who like a clean and neat style can't stand it.

However, in ancient times, women could not expose their arms and legs, so Li Xia chose some elegant and clear fabrics, reduced the skirt width, and designed a style similar to the modern and improved version of Hanfu. It looks good but not complicated, and is convenient in comparison. too much.

"Miss, this dress is too plain. Why don't you help Miss embroider some peonies? The beauty of the peony is beautiful."

"That's it, no trouble."

Li Xia, who was in a happy mood, had a smile on her face, and a beautiful face was so beautiful that Li Xia couldn't help but appreciate the beauty of "self".

After a while, Li Xia thought about what he had ordered another maid in the house, Xiyun, half an hour ago, and asked: "Lianxin, has Xiyun come back?"

"Not yet, before Xiyun went out, Madam asked her to buy some lotus seeds and come back. I think it will take more time..."

Before Lianxin's voice fell, Xiyun stepped into the room, "Miss, the servant girl is back."

"Have you asked the guy at the bank?"

"Guy said that a few days ago, Liu's mansion sent someone to inquire about our Qin family's deposits in the bank, and he said that he answered according to the lady's order."

Hearing this, Li Xia was relieved.

She had long known that the money she used to sway the market would definitely reach Liang Zouqi's ears. Liang Zouqi knew the Qin family well and would definitely have doubts, and she might do something wicked.

That's why she came up with such a method of loan sharking.

The ancient usury was much more terrifying than the modern one. In modern times, it is still not going to be debt-collected and beaten, but basically it will not harm your life. After all, the modern law is there.

But it’s different in ancient times. In ancient times, if the debtor’s whole family was still in the hands of the other party, women would be sold to brothels, men would be sold to construction sites for hard work, and children would break their legs and throw them away. Begging on the street, the money for begging naturally falls into the hands of the creditor.

And these frightening fate are justified, the government can't intervene even if they know it, who makes you owe money.

So when Li Xia knew that the bank had this loan shark business, she greeted the banker, and if anyone inquired, she told the other party that she borrowed the loan from the bank.

Sure enough, Liang Zouqi really went to inquire.

Li Xia nodded in satisfaction and looked at Lianxin and Xiyun. These two maids were sold to the Qin Mansion since they were young, and they have been with the original owner when they grew up. They did not leave when the original owner was the most difficult. It can be said that they belonged to the original owner. Confidant.

The principle of Li Xia is that as long as the other party is loyal to her, then she will not treat him badly.

She looked at the two maids. Although their beauty was incomparable to the original owner, they were all slim and graceful, that is, the clothes were too old and the clothes were too plain.

"Xiyun, Lianxin, go out with me after lunch, want to buy something."

"Okay, miss."

—

In the past, when the Qin family was in a wealthy family, Zhao Huiyun often went shopping with some of the wives and aunts who had contacts with the Qin family. Later, when the Qin family fell into disarray, they lost this pastime. Now the Qin family has recovered as it was in Lixia. After persuasion, she contacted these ladies again.

Her mother no longer looked at her at home, Li Xia was also relieved, otherwise Zhao Huiyun would start to blame herself if she couldn't say a few words, Li Xia was really upset.

As for his father, Qin Yuanhe, his ancestors uploaded the medicinal material business to the point that he was lost. He was speechless facing his ancestors, very guilty and self-blaming, and frowned all day long. Due to the long period of unhappy mood, the seasonal climate change has changed. fall sick.

The illness is not serious, and being able to eat and sleep means that he is not in a good state of mind. Ask the doctor to come to see it at home, saying that you have to let go of your sorrow and calm down.

Li Xia felt that it was impossible to reassure his father who had been in business for a lifetime, so it was better to find a new spiritual sustenance.

Once this person's life is fulfilled, there is no time to worry and blame himself.

So after lunch, Li Xia took Xiyun and Lianxin out to buy something for everyone, and also wanted to go to the streets to see if there were any business opportunities.

"Miss, the maidservant heard that a new jewelry shop has been opened at the east end of the street. The style is novel and the workmanship is exquisite. It is comparable to the craftsmanship in the palace, or let's go there and see."

"Well, the servants will go and let the bearers prepare."

"No, just walk over."

"Miss, there used to be a distance in the house, and the servants are afraid that the lady will be affected."

"It's okay. You have to stop and go when shopping to find something interesting. If you sit on a sedan chair, you won't miss it."

When Lian Xin heard what the young lady said, she felt very reasonable, so she didn't speak any more.

Soon the three of them went out. On the antique street, Li Xia stopped and went, feeling that these traditional handicrafts were too exquisite than the modern handicrafts sold in those ancient town attractions.

This made Li Xia want to shop and she wanted to buy them all.

However, Li Xia still controlled it a bit. After all, what modern people think of her as "exquisite embroidery" may be very ordinary in the eyes of these ancient people. A small amount of it is fine for fun, and more is useless.

Li Xia hung the sachet that he had just bought for ten cents on her waist and asked, "Xiyun, how do you look good?"

"The pattern is beautiful, and the smell is fresh, but the craftsmanship of this sachet is a bit rough. If the young lady really likes it, look back, Xiyun compares this to the young lady to show her a new one."

"Okay, Xiyun, you're so kind." Li Xia praised her without hesitation.

Lian Xin next to her heard a bit of taste, and said, "Xiyun embroidery is not as good as a slave maid. The slave maid will also do it for the lady."

"Well, you two make one by one, can I hang on the left and right sides?"

"Miss will make fun of lotus heart!"

The three of them stopped and went wandering, and it took more than half an hour to arrive at the jewelry shop mentioned by Lianxin.

The decoration of the jewelry shop is very elegant, and in contrast with other shops around it, it looks very stylish. At first glance, it is not something that ordinary people can consume.

Looking in from the door, the area of ​​the shop is not small. Although there are not many customers, all of them are dressed up very gorgeously and richly. At first glance, they are the family members of large families.

"Miss, let's go in and take a look."

After Li Xia nod walked into the shop, he looked around. It was similar to a modern gold and silver jewelry store. Zhu Chai Bu Yao earrings and other jewelry were listed on the silk cloth according to the category, and the more precious ones were placed in special jewelry. In the box.

There is a notice posted in the store, which says that every piece of jewelry in the store is unique. If different customers see the same piece of jewelry, the one with the higher price will win.

The guy in the store hurried over when he saw a new customer entering the store and said, "Miss, you can watch it, if you like it, you can try it."

Li Xia nodded, "Well, good."

These jewels were so exquisite, Li Xia picked up one hand at hand and shook his head with gestures, and asked, "Does it look good?"

"Miss is beautiful, she looks good in everything she wears."

The sweet mouths of the two maids made Li Xia happy. She said: "You can pick something you like. After having been with me for so many years, I don't even have any decent jewelry. You should be dressed up for your age like a flower."

The two maids were overjoyed when they heard the words, but they refused because of their sensible status: "How can the slaves and maids wear these? These are all brought by the young lady."

"There is no such thing as jewelry, I say you can wear it if you can."

Li Xia's tone was firm. The two maids were shaken when Huaben liked these in 28 years. After thanking Li Xia, they happily screened.

Although Li Xia said that he could pick whatever he wanted, the two maids were not greedy and only looked at the cheapest part.

Li Xia was afraid that the gift she gave was too expensive, and the two of them would not dare to wear it on weekdays and still have psychological pressure, so they chose it by themselves. After all, the most important thing to wear jewelry is to be happy.

Seeing that Lian Xin was happy to choose, Li Xia was also ready to choose some for herself and her mother. Mothers are elders who naturally have to wear more elegant and precious ones. Agate and jade are the most suitable, and warm suet jade is also good.

Just as Li Xia carefully selected, Lian Xin walked over and said in a low voice: "Miss, let's come back another day."

"What's the matter?" Li Xia wondered.

Lian Xin pointed to the women who were greeted by the boss personally behind them, and said, "Miss Liu Mansion is also here."

Miss Liu Mansion?

Li Xia raised his eyes and looked over, and saw a woman with a luxurious dress and a beautiful face. The woman was standing in the light of the mirror looking at the steps on her head.

The golden steps are shining in the sun, and the pearls inlaid on it are crystal clear and full, which is extraordinary at first glance.

Seeing that her own lady has been looking at the lady in Liu's house, Lian Xin thought that the lady was thinking of her sadness again, so she hurriedly said, "Miss, let's go back."

go back?

The white-eyed wolf Liang Zou Qi finally climbed to Gao Zhi'er right in front of her. Recalling the time when Liu Yulan, the Miss Liu’s family, knew that Liang Zouqi had a family, she took the initiative to give him a hug, and he was unwilling to be a concubine. Liang Zouqi divorced his wife and let the original owner land like a fate.

How could I easily let it go if I met such a coincidence today.

Liu Yulan smiled and asked the people around her, "How is it? Does it look good?"

"Ms. Yulan is as beautiful as yours. This step is perfect. This step is also equipped with a pair of eardrops. The workmanship is excellent. I will show it to you."

Before Liu Yulan had time to speak, a woman next to her spoke first: "Don’t hurry up and take out all the best things here. We Yulan is the sister of the brother-in-law today, let alone a few red hairpins, it’s even you. It’s no problem to buy the whole shop."

Liu Yulan stood by shaking her fan, smiling silently.

The boss hurriedly took all the best things in the shop to Liu Yulan.

Liu Yulan picked up the jewellery, looked at it, and put it down, with an indifferent look, and said, "I'm going to shake this set. The other items are nothing special. There are a bunch of them at home, and they will all be rewarded. ."

Hearing the words, the boss smiled and said, "Okay, this set is just worth one hundred and twenty taels of silver."

"Okay, Chunxiang pays."

Just when Liu Yulan's personal maid was about to pay, Li Xia strode over and said, "Wait, it's a coincidence. I like this set of jewelry too, so let me sell one hundred and fifty taels. "

"But this...Miss, Miss Magnolia took it first." The boss explained.

Li Xia pointed to the announcement on the wall and said: "In your shop, it is clearly stated that'The higher the bidder gets', her money has not fallen into the hands of the boss, indicating that the transaction has not yet been completed, and I will have the opportunity to bid."

As a boss, I naturally want to make more money, but due to Liu Yulan's identity, it is a bit embarrassing.

Liu Yulan was surprised to see that the visitor was actually Qin Qiaoqiao, but soon calmed down.

The Qin family has fallen into disarray since leaving Liang Zouqi, and the business at home has been shut down. How much money can still be compared with her.

Look at what rough fabrics Qin Qiaoqiao wears, and the sachet around her waist is so cheap that her servants would not wear it out.

Liu Yulan tweeted in her heart, but she was still dignified and generous, saying, "Since this is the shop's rules, then follow it."

"Miss Yulan is really considerate. Then this young lady just made one hundred and fifty taels. How much more does Miss Yulan want to add?"

"Then I will add fifty taels."

Liu Yulan looked at Li Xia after paying the price, waiting for Li Xia to speak.

But Li Xia didn't rush to answer. She looked at everything in the shop and asked: "Boss, how much is your entire shop worth?"

"This shop plus the survival in the back storeroom, let's say nothing more."

A woman standing next to Liu Yulan saw that Li Xia was not bidding for a long time, and mocked: "Qin Qiaoqiao, what are you going to talk about? If you can't get the money, Miss Yulan will have no time to talk to you in vain. ."

Facing the fox’s fake tiger’s legs, Li Xia didn’t get angry and laughed instead, ignoring the ridicule of the dog legs. She took out a silver ticket from her arms and patted it on the table, saying, “Twelve thousand, I want this shop. NS!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone at the scene was shocked to speak, and the shop owner was even more excited to pick up the bank note and asked, "Is this true?"

"Of course, Jude Bank's banknotes, if you are willing to sell this shop to me, you can now take the banknotes to the bank to withdraw money."

I have never seen such a large sum of money, the boss holding the silver ticket with trembling hands, and excitedly promised: "Sell, sell!"

Seeing this situation, Liu Yulan's white smile had long since turned green. She looked at Li Xia and couldn't say a word.

Li Xia didn't hesitate to take Step Yao from Liu Yulan's head and said: "Miss Yulan, I think this Step Yao is right for my maid, Lianxin, so I won't sell it to Miss."

Speaking of Li Xia, she turned around and inserted Step Shao into Lianxin's hair bun.
