Chapter 91:

The weather is getting hotter and hotter recently. In ancient times, there was no air conditioner or fan. Qin Jiao didn't dare to go out at all.
When the weather is hot, Qin Jiao becomes lazy and sleepy. He is too lazy to entertain Qin Zhun. The first sentence of his opening is: "Second Uncle, what do you want to sell this time?"
"..." Du Ruo felt that his girl was almost like Chao Feng.
What and what? ! Qin Zhun almost wanted to reveal the table, did she talk to this elder like this? !
Qin Jiu didn't care what Qin Zhun thought at all, anyway, since he came here, he must ask for something. He didn't get what he wanted, even if she wanted to drive people away, he wouldn't leave.
Qin really wanted something. After a few breaths of silence, he directly offered the price: "Ten thousand taels, I will give you two mountains in Ping County, Longzhou." After all, he had no face and said "sell".
Qin Jiao: "..."
The second uncle from the original family is already so poor that he can't even get ten thousand taels?
It's really pathetic.
Qin Jiu sympathized with the other party for a moment, and asked the price unceremoniously: "In addition to the mountains, I want the hot spring village in the suburbs of Beijing."
Qin Zhun: "..."
That hot spring village can sell for five thousand, she is simply blackmail!
Qin Zhun's forehead was jumping wildly, and he couldn't wait to strangle her. It was really a little woman raised.
Qin Zhun also knew that after the last time, he was like sending him to the door to let Qin Jiu kill him again. The problem was that he was really anxious to spend the money.
Just now, Qin Xin came to the Hou Mansion to look for him, saying that Gong Engong had managed to find him the vacancy of Taipusi Shaoqing, but he was one step short of it. The inside and the outside meant that he needed money to deal with it. He has been waiting for the job of Taipusi Shaoqing for a long time. If he can get it, he can go further in his official career, and he will be promoted to Taipusiqing within three years, ranking Xiaojiuqing.
Qin Zhuo babbled and said coldly: "Second Uncle, does your grandmother know if you are here this time?"
"Hey, you have changed the property again and again. Fortunately, you sold it to me. Otherwise, I don't know how others will kill you." She looked like she was an elder, Qin Zhun. Just like juniors.
"..." Qin Zhun's eyes twitched.
She still has the face to say that no one bargaining prices is as cruel as this girl!
But no matter what he was for, changing the seller's property was changing the seller's property. He did not dare to sell to others, nor did he dare to let Mrs. Qin know.
The vacancy of Taipu Temple Shaoqing was too tempting for him. If he missed this time, I am afraid that there will be no chance in a few years. It is far from a hot spring village.
Qin Zhun gritted his teeth and told the young man: "Go get the deed paper."
Qin Jiu felt that it was a joy to do business with his second uncle. It made her feel that even the sultry weather was not so unpleasant. He wished that his second uncle was so dizzy that he would give her more money.
After the process, Qin Jiu was already very proficient, and sent someone to Jingzhao's Mansion to prepare the case, and then he promptly asked him to give Qin Zhun the ten thousand taels of silver notes.
"Second Uncle, what else do you want to sell next time, remember to come to me again." Qin Jiao waved the deed paper happily, bidding farewell to Qin Zhun.
Outside the hall, Qin Zhun didn't step on his foot firmly, and he staggered. He almost didn't fall off the steps. He secretly vowed in his heart: Bad luck, he won't be killed.
Qin Zhun walked away firmly, ambitiously.
However, the ten thousand taels of silver was spent like running water. His errands had not yet been received. Within a few days, Qin Xin came again. This time he asked for more silver than last time: "Father, the second prince is over there. I need thirty thousand taels of silver."
Qin Xin spoke softly and skillfully, but Qin Zhun felt as if he was pouring a bucket of cold water on his head, and his heart was cold.
He already felt that the cave on the second prince's side couldn't be filled up.
In the past two years or so, he has filled a total of 400,000 taels for the second prince, but in this way, the second prince is not enough. It is conceivable that there will be more in the future, more...
Qin Zhun started to regret a bit, he couldn't help thinking, if he hadn't rushed to choose the second prince, would he not be like this now...
At this moment, Qin Zhun was a little bit angry with Qin Xin, if it weren't for Qin Xin to catch up with the second prince, he would be more anxious!
Qin Xin didn't know what Qin Zhun was thinking. He thought he was distressed and persuaded: "Father, if you want to get something, you must always give something. When your Highness returns to Beijing triumphantly, the situation will be clear! I Only two days ago, I received a letter from the second prince, and there were a lot of good news from Jinju..."
Qin Zhun didn't even listen to what Qin Xin said. He knew that he had already boarded the second prince's boat and had spent most of his family wealth. He could no longer get off. His fate has been tied to the second prince, and he is both prosperous and prosperous.
But where else can he go to raise these 30,000? ! If I go to Qin Jiu again, she will definitely be beaten again.
Qin Zhun: "..."
Qin Zhun began to squeeze his brains, where could he get the money.
Seeing that he still didn't speak, Qin Xin's tone showed a hint of impatience, and said: "Father, the second prince is rushing over there, saying it is a hundred thousand eagerness." She tried to use the second prince to suppress Qin Zhun.
How could Qin Zhun fail to see Qin Xin's careful thoughts, and in the end he still didn't accept it positively. He only gave "I know" and sent Qin Xin away.
Qin Zhun was exhausted, and had no energy to think about why the second prince in Jinzhou needed so much money. He hesitated, hesitated, and pondered.
He dragged on for another two days. In the past two days, Qin Xin went to the door every day. Qin Zhun really had no choice. On July 24, he went to the door of the Qin Mansion again. This time he
selled
away the capital and Jiangnan. Of the two banks.
After sending Qin Zhun away again, Qin Jiao's face was lightened, and he looked at the deeds and looked at the deeds happily, and felt that his business was simply profitable! !
"Sister, you are really..." Qin Zeyu wanted to say that his sister is really a money fan. When he reached the point of his mouth, he changed it abruptly, "Smart!"
"That is!" Qin Zhuo brags, and solemnly put the deed book into the same wooden box. In only a few days, the deed book that Qin Zhun himself sent to the door was half boxed.
In Qin Jiu's eyes, these deeds are simply invaluable!
While closing the box, she casually asked Qin Zeyu: "Ayu, is our Qin family so rich?"
Originally, when the family was separated, their long room was allocated 70% of the property. Qin Jiao already felt a lot of it. She really didn't expect that Qin Zhun would be able to sell so many things.
Qin Jiu was also there when the family was separated. She clearly remembered that the three firms in Minzhou were obliged by Qin Zhun at the time. For this reason, he also converted a large amount of land to the long house, but the two banks were originally I didn't mention it at the time of separation.
"Of course!" Qin Zeyu nodded vigorously, a pair of eyes similar to Qin Jiao gleaming.
If his sister asks anything else, he may not be able to answer, but he still knows a little bit about his own affairs.
"Our Qin family used to be a salt merchant in the previous dynasty..." Qin Zeyu had a rare opportunity to tell people about his own fortune, especially when his sister asked him for advice. He couldn't help but talked with great interest.
Their Qin family's ancestors were from Jiangnan and they had been salt merchants for several generations in the previous dynasty. Salt was a profitable business without losing money. The Qin family was also a well-known rich Jiangnan merchant in the previous dynasty. If you have money, you want power, but according to the laws of the previous dynasty, businessmen are inferior and cannot participate in the imperial examination.
In the last years of the previous dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and the emperor rose to the ground. With one call, the ancestor of the Qin family, Qin Minzhong, scattered all his wealth and bet on the emperor. He really bet the right treasure and became the founding hero.
When the emperor established the Daqi dynasty, he not only praised the Qin family, but also named the Zhongyi Marquis of Qin Minzhong, and he would not be downgraded for generations.
After the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, the state policy of emphasizing civil affairs over military affairs was implemented, and merchants were also allowed to participate in the imperial examination. Therefore, the Qin family and other noble courtiers were not ashamed of doing business. The Qin family was good at doing business, so it accumulated wealth for generations. Faster, if it weren’t for being ransacked fourteen years ago, the Qin’s family would still be able to rise to the next level.
Qin Jiao understood it thoughtfully. It's no wonder that Master Lao Hou has such a vicious eyes. After going to exile in Minzhou for a few years, he knew that after he became the throne, he started a business in Minzhou for sea trade.
No wonder no wonder!
However, how did she feel that her grandfather's shrewdness was not passed on to Qin Zhun, Qin Zening, and Qin Zeyu? !
Qin Jiu looked at the bear child with disgust, wondering whether he had to find someone to teach him arithmetic and business, so as not to learn from his uncle and sell property.
Qin Zeyu was uncomfortable when he was seen by his sister, and said in his heart: He has been very good recently? ... Except for accidentally smashing the glazed window when playing polo, no mistake!
Qin Zeyu continued to reflect in his heart, "However, I don't know how much money and property this family has. No one has ever told me, maybe even the older brother doesn't know."
Speaking of this, Qin Zeyu also realized that the second uncle was afraid of deliberately hiding from them, preventing him and his elder brother from contacting the family's property, lest they rob the family property with him.
If it hadn't been for the fact that the third brother Gu was present and asked for 70% of the family property when they were separated before, their eyes would have been blackened, and the loss would have been huge.
The third brother Gu would help them in this way, it was naturally for his sister's sake... and even for his sister's courtesy, he ran over from Minzhou not far away for thousands of miles, it was just a love!
As Qin Zeyu thought, he looked up and down Qin Jiao with a subtle expression.
Qin Jiao was now wearing a green skirt embroidered with green bamboo, with a green silk combed only a loose piece, and there was no jewelry on his head except for a plum blossom hosta, and he leaned against the back of the chair without sitting.
I don’t know how many times a question came to Qin Zeyu’s heart: Where did Gu Sange fall in love with his sister? !
Qin Jiao watched the bear child staring at him, thinking that there was something on his mouth, and subconsciously raised his hand to touch the corner of his mouth, but found that the corner of his mouth was clean.
She raised her hand over Xiao Fangji between the two and patted Qin Zeyu on the head, "What are you in a daze?"
Of course Qin Zeyu wouldn't be so stupid to tell the truth, and found a perfunctory reason: "I'm thinking whether my second uncle will come again."
Qin Jiu said, "Probably not."
She couldn't help sighing in her heart: What a pity!
"It's a pity!!" Qin Zeyu sighed vigorously.
Du Ruo: "..."
As Qin Jiu guessed, Qin Zhun did not come back.
Qin Jiu feels a little regretful: she welcomes Qin Zhun very much, and she also wants to take the opportunity to buy more. This is the same as the year-end clearance sale. You can't miss it when you pass by!
Qin Zhun stopped coming home, and Qin Jiao went down again. It happened to be rainy and cloudy for a few days, and the weather became a lot cooler, so Yun Jiao Niang invited her to go out to play, and the two went shopping and playing in the capital. Qin Jiao felt that Yun Jiao Niang played more than the two brotherhoods at home. The restaurants, tea houses, jewelry shops, cloth houses, and so on that she led her to all had their own characteristics.
After playing all over Beijing, they went out to walk their horses and strolled around Cuiwei Mountain. They spent most of the day and did not return to Beijing until the afternoon. From a distance, they saw a riot at Nancheng Gate.
The two looked at each other, slowed down the horse "push", stopped behind a carriage, and looked forward.
Outside the city gate, there is a convoy of seven or eight carriages preparing to enter the city. The two-horse brocade carriage at the front is very luxurious. Next to the carriage is a blue-robed boy riding a white horse, leisurely fanning a folding fan. The extravagance is pressing.
The convoy was accompanied by at least twenty tall and mighty guards. These guards were rudely driving the people around who were waiting in line to enter the city in front of the carriage:
"Get out, get out of everything!"
"Didn't you see that our son is going into the city? The idlers and others are not quickly evading!"
"..."
The guards threw their whips to drive people.
When the ordinary people saw this pedestrian's extraordinary clothes and arrogance, they knew that their master must be a distinguished person. The ordinary people dared not speak or offend these guards. They all evaded and retreated to both sides. Let this team go ahead.
A lot of businessmen and passers-by who had just arrived near the gate of Qin Jiao and Yun Jiaoniang gathered beside Qin Jiu and Yun Jiaoniang. They all pointed to the group in front of them:
"What kind of person is this, really arrogant?"
"The ghost knows! But you don't care about the guards at the gates, it must be some kind of prince and prince."
"Is the prince of Jingli still young? I have never seen such a thing!"
"..."
Those passers-by whispered to each other, guessing the identity of the pedestrian in the blue robe.
Soon, the guards cleared a way, and the square-faced chief guard rode his horse to the blue-robed young man and the first carriage, clasped his fists and said, "San Ye, the princess, you can enter the city."
In the next instant, I saw a white bare hand slightly opened the corner of the carriage curtain. From the perspective of Qin Jiu and Yun Jiaoniang, I couldn't see each other's looks at all. I only saw the fingertips dyed with red kodan. Beautiful outside.
The driver of the first carriage waved his whip and began to enter the city, and the following carriages slowly followed.
"The princess?" Qin Zhuo muttered softly, thinking: The princess in the capital said that there were a lot of less, and that the princess of the capital said that it was not too much.
Yun Jiao Niang heard it too, and she muttered: "I don't know which princess is so stylish. What are you proud of? The princess and princess don't have such a big air."
Yun Jiaoniang just murmured casually, and she said nothing. Anyway, the way is different and not conspiring. Like this kind of princess, she "can't afford to climb high."
The carriage in front began to move, and Qin Jiao and Yun Jiaoniang also rode their horses slowly to keep up and walk towards the city.
"Xiao Jiu," Yun Jiao Niang suggested with enthusiasm after thinking about something, "Shuangyan Garden is about to have a new play, how about we go to the play together in five days?"
Qin Jiao shook his head: "Not that day."
Yun Jiao Niang: "?"
Qin Jiao said with a smile, "My eldest brother and they will come back that day, I will pick up people, and have refreshments another day."
Yun Jiao Niang blinked clearly, "I also heard what my elder brother said, the great victory in Minzhou. It turns out that they came back that day." A playful light flashed under Yun Jiao's eyes, and the corners of her lips curled up.
Qin Jiao said with a smile, and he was very happy. Brother came back earlier than expected.
Lady Yun Jiao rode her horse and moved another step to Qin Jiu's side, elbow her arm against her, and said jokingly: "Are you really going to pick up your eldest brother? I think you are a drunkard, not drinking! "
This girl is not going to pick up Qin Zening, she is picking up the Prince Chen.
Yun Jiaoniang winked at Qin Jiu, her eyes and mouth bend into crescent moons.
"Of course." Qin Jiao nodded confidently. One of her elder brothers means two people!
Yun Jiaoniang felt that Qin Jiu was a dead duck with a hard mouth, and she laughed happily, and said, "Since you are going to pick up people, you must quickly book a restaurant and tea house near the city gate. On the day the army returns to Beijing, there must be many people. Will go to see."
Qin Jiu blinked, "Will there be so many people going to see it?"
Yun Jiaoniang looked at Qin Jiao with a look of "you are naive", "Do you know how lively it was last time when the top three in the imperial examination were parading? All the restaurants and tea houses on the streets where they paraded were I booked it and there were no seats available! Even some shops temporarily set up some tables and chairs to serve as teahouses, so many people still didn't make reservations."
Qin Jiao: "..."
Qin Jiu didn't have this consciousness at all, so he didn't book a seat at all. According to Yun Jiao Niang, the restaurant and teahouse near Nancheng Gate might have been booked long ago.
Yun Jiaoniang smiled, patted her chest and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm here!"
"The Yunwei restaurant on South Street in front of this is my family's property. Our restaurant always reserves a private seat for my family. I will help you keep it."
As she said, she pointed to the inside of the city gate.
The two of them talked to themselves, completely unaware of the movement of the carriage in front of them.
A corner of the curtain on the right side of the carriage was picked up, and a pair of beautiful eyes that looked like Yingying Qiu Shui glanced in the direction of Qin Jiao and Yun Jiao Niang, and then withdrew their gazes.
"Great Victory in Minzhou..." The girl's voice was as quiet as water, a bit lingering and tactful.
"Girl," another voice whispered, "couldn't the person who returned to Beijing triumphantly be the third son of Gu?"
"..."
"Girl, when you settle down later, the slave and maid will go to inquire about the news."
"Ok."
As the word fell, curtains blocked the carriage tightly, and the carriage followed the other carriages into the city.
Qin Jiao also joked with Yun Jiaoniang and rode into the city. He soon parted ways with that team and went to their respective places.
After Qin Jiu returned to the house, on the same day, Yun Jiaoniang asked the maid in charge to come over and say that she had booked her seat, and she also gave a Keran sign in the elegant seat "Lanxiang Room" on the second floor of Yunwei Restaurant.
In the next few days, the good news of the victory of Minzhou spread in Beijing. The topics discussed in the streets and alleys were all around the victory of Minzhou, and Beijing was as lively as the New Year.
The common people felt that Daqi was flourishing. First, in the first half of the year, Yu Fuyun took the three cities of Beiyan and forced Beiyan to cede the land for compensation. Now it is the king of Chenjun who has settled Minzhou, which is a sign of national peace.
This lively atmosphere lasted until August 29, the day when the army returned to Beijing triumphantly.
Early in the morning, Qin Jiu took Qin Zeyu out early and went directly to the Yunwei Restaurant. Yun Jiaoniang left a "lanxiang room" for Qin's brother and sister, and a "bamboo fragrance room" for her family.
The Yunwei Restaurant was full of seats as described by Yun Jiao Niang before. At least five or six people were crowded around a table in the lobby on the first floor. The streets outside were crowded with black people on both sides, all of them spontaneously greeted the soldiers.
Qin Jiu and Qin Zeyu had just had a sip of tea when they heard a noise from the street outside:
"I'm coming!!"
"People are already outside the city gate!"
"I heard that today is the king of Chenjun who came out of the city to pick up the six princes."
"..."
The voices of people outside the restaurant were full, and both Qin Jiu and Qin Zeyu craned their necks and looked in the direction of the city gate. Unfortunately, from their perspective, there is no figure at all now, only the sound of horseshoes outside the city.
Looking at the eagerly waiting people below, Qin Zeyu suddenly said firmly: "Sister, don't worry, you still have a chance in the future!"
Qin Zeyu is very confident in himself. The homework he has been staring at for so long by his sister is sure to be impressive. Wen can govern the country and Wu Neng is a good man. Next time he sits and enters the city.
Qin Jiao: "?"
"Ayu!" At this moment, the lounge in the opposite restaurant protruded a few familiar faces and beckoned to Qin Zeyu, and he also took Qin Zeyu's soul away.
"Sister, I will go back as soon as I go." Qin Zeyu ran away before finishing speaking.
At the same time, the streets became more and more lively, excited shouts sounded one after another, and the people boiled like boiling water.
The thunderous sound of horseshoes gradually approached, and the ground seemed to tremble.
After a while, a team of soldiers with copper helmets and iron armor rode into the city gate mightily. They were all tall and mighty, majestic and majestic, and the people on the roadside suddenly burst into enthusiastic cheers.
At the forefront of the team was a young man in silver armor. He had a handsome face, a gentle temperament, a small smile at the corners of his mouth, and a black hair tied high with a silver crown like crow feathers. His black hair and that The silver armor formed a sharp contrast, a silver sheathed long sword hung from his waist, and the frost-colored cloak flying in the wind.
Under the golden sun, his armor reflected dazzling silver light, handsome and noble, not like a mortal, so everyone's eyes fell on him.
Gu Zezhi finally returned. Qin Jiu looked at him from a distance, with a smile on his lips.
"This is Jun Wang Chen!" In the lounge next door, I don't know who sighed with emotion.
Another girl eagerly asked: "Sister, where are the flowers? Where are the flowers I prepared?"
"Oh, the flower basket is still in the carriage, I'll get it now!"
There was a rush of footsteps from the lounge next door, which happened to be heard by Yun Jiao Niang who had just entered, and she sneered and said, "What a sloppy next door!"
However, the conversation next door also reminded Lady Yun Jiao, she hurriedly asked: "Xiao Jiu, are you ready to spend it?"
"Flower?" Qin Jiao looked at Yun Jiaoniang with a question mark on her face.
Unable to answer, Yun Jiao Niang quickly ordered the maid to find her mate to get some flowers.
There is no need for Yun Jiaoniang to explain. The people outside have already answered Qin Jiao’s questions with practical actions. The women and girls all threw out the flowers in their hands with excitement, and the flowers rained on the street. The soldiers fell, and some fruits, kerchiefs and sachets were mixed in them.
Watching this scene, Qin Jiao couldn't help but think of a paragraph depicting the beautiful man Pan An: "Anren is beautiful, every line is full of fruit." (Note 1)
Qin Zhuo couldn't help but laughed, looking at Gu Zezhi below, without blinking.
Huh? !
Qin Jiao suddenly squinted his eyes slightly, and noticed that there were so many flowers and sachets smashing towards Gu Zezhi, but he did not stick to the leaves, and occasionally a flower almost rubbed his cloak, and was also understated by the horse's tail. The tail flung out.
Qin Jiu smiled more happily as if he had discovered some secret, his heart was full of joy, and his eyes were full of laughter.
Amid the noise, Gu Zezhi below seemed to be aware of it. He raised his eyes slightly, his gaze hit Qin Jiu at the window, and his eyes met.

There is no third-party plot.
