Article 332
"Good ......." Qingyi wondered what level of poetry he could make.
"Ah, before writing the poem, the husband felt that when the night was quiet, it was the time to talk about the wind and the moon."
"Hmm." Fengyue ......, it's just that, whatever he likes to say.
Qi Lianchen suddenly pulled away a sly smile, "That being the case, the most direct matter of Fengyue is ......, Qingyi, let's round the house tonight." ”
This time, the words passed by his ears, and Qingyi said "um" without thinking.
Suddenly realizing that the situation was wrong, she raised her head in surprise, and blinked at Qi Lianchen's handsome face that smiled treacherously, "...... What did you say? ”
This man ...... to play this trick while she was absent-minded, and he was negligent for a while, and unknowingly sold himself!
Looking at Qingyi's annoyed look in his round apricot eyes, Qi Lianchen looked up to the sky and laughed twice, and when he lowered his head again, his gaze became extremely deep, "Qingyi, I just found out for my husband, you are really cute." ”
As he spoke, he suddenly tightened the arm that was trapped around her waist, leaned his head, and kissed her on the lips in an irresistible gesture.
The second time, if last time he could find a reason to say that it was encouragement, then this time, he could no longer deny that he just wanted to kiss her.
He doesn't care about anything, he can give up, even if it is the entire family business of Qifu, for feelings, he will not let the things of men and women affect his mood, but some things are not controlled by reason, the last kiss, he explained himself with a momentary confusion, after more than a month of precipitation, he thought that he could maintain the previous chic when he saw her again, but he didn't want to, it was just a little confusing night, so he couldn't help it again.
Probably, the desire for physical needs was so strong that he was a little overwhelmed.
I think so, but the body is a lot more honest, the kiss more than a month ago, is really a little unfinished, and then occasionally recalls will feel that the process is extremely beautiful, and now I taste it again, and I am surprised that the real sweetness is far better than the memory.
He closed his eyes and tossed on her lips, more lingering than the last time in the gold shop, when he felt her slightly cool lips being warmed by himself, he was no longer willing to wait to pick open her teeth with the tip of his tongue, and when he reached into her mouth, the woman in his arms seemed to gasp, and made a soft "um" sound, and it was that sound that stimulated him, he slammed her waist tightly, so that her body was close to himself, and the stirring of the tip of his tongue became more and more violent.
Qingyi opened her eyes with a little horror, but as he kissed more and more, her thoughts began to be chaotic, and her eyelids became heavy, and she could hear his slightly heavy breathing, and his arms tightened more and more, as if they were about to probe her whole body into his body, and the big hands seemed to be less peaceful, sliding down the curve of her waist, and his lips also slid out, sliding towards her neck and licking paper.
"Ahh
Qi Lianchen was so close to him that he suddenly heard a woman's exclamation not far away, he raised his head expressionlessly, but the person subconsciously pressed the head of the woman in his arms to his neck, blocking her face.
This move was really heartwarming, and Qingyi also cooperated to bury his face in his chest, completely out of the shyness of being found to have done something bad, but he didn't expect that his instinctive actions were extremely similar to cheating in the eyes of outsiders.
After that, Qingyi heard the sound of small footsteps coming from his ears, and then, the man holding him asked in a deep voice, "What are you doing, your scream almost scared you." ”
As he spoke, the vibration of the voice transmitted through his body to Qingyi's face close to his chest, and there was a trace of numbness into her heart, which was a very wonderful feeling, with a little pleasure, Qingyi inexplicably hooked the corners of her mouth.
But her smile quickly faded because of a woman's reply.
It was a young maid who replied, "Hui Sangongzi, yes...... It is in the lotus pond in front, and there is ...... There's a corpse! ”
"Corpses?" Qi Lianchen glanced at the lotus pond where he went, late at night, he and Qingyi just took a walk by the moonlight, and did not bring lights and candles, "Which location?" Do you know who the deceased was? ”
The maid pointed and pointed to the front, "Just go in that direction from here, about thirty meters." The man's body was swollen, and the slave ...... The slave and maid were so timid that they didn't see it in earnest, and if it weren't for the fact that the slave's silk handkerchief was blown there by the wind, the slave wouldn't have looked at that place. As for who that person is, the slave and maid looked at the man's clothes very familiarly, and looked like the nurse of the eldest son, Mama Li. ”
Mama Lee!
Hearing this, Qingyi was shocked, isn't this the old lady who accused Ju'er of poisoning the second son.
Thinking in her heart, some doubts came to her mind, and she naturally didn't say anything.
Qi Lianchen also frowned slightly, "Okay, you go and inform the master."
"Yes."
The maid walked in front of Qi Lianchen, and by the way, she glanced at Qingyi, who was still being hugged tightly, and couldn't help but wonder in her heart, who is this woman who is so secretive by the third son? Look at the costume like a young son, if it is a third young son, why cover your face, shouldn't it...... Second young son!
In the end, I really couldn't resist the curiosity in my heart, the maid quietly turned around, just in time to see the third prince was easily holding the woman in his arms up, taking advantage of the moonlight, the maid clearly saw the little face of the mysterious woman.
It turns out that it is the third young son!
It is said that the third son does not favor the third young son, it seems that it is all rumors, and the third son of the family will have his own wife and baby, and he will even go back to the room with him!
As for why Qi Lianchen took Qingyi away, the reason was very simple, he said confidently, "Qingyi, when I heard that there was a corpse in the lotus pond, this thing must have frightened you, did your legs go weak?" Let's carry you back to the room for your husband. Saying this, without waiting for Qingyi's reaction, he hooked her waist and picked her up. Moreover, this hug dutifully carried her directly to the bed, put her on her flat bed, supported her arms at her sides, looked down at her condescendingly, and said with a smile, "There is a dead person in the house, such a big thing, my husband wants to go and see it." - Of course, if Qingyi wants to, then go to bed later and wait for me to come back. ”
With that, he raised his eyebrows and smiled evilly, and left.
Qingyi was confused by what he said when he left, what did she think?
After a long time of speculation, she finally realized it, dare to be affectionate, he said that she was deceived into "agreeing" to the "round house tonight" incident!
Rolled her eyes at the bed beam, seriously, until now, she didn't figure out whether he was telling the truth or just teasing her.
That night, Qingyi didn't wait for the "round room", and even when he fell asleep, he didn't wait for Qi Lianchen's people.
It was only through the next morning that I saw the traces of the other quilt next to me that I knew that the guy had come back last night.
Actually, Qi Lianchen said that he was going to see the dead people in the mansion, Qingyi felt that this explanation was far-fetched, because when the old lady and the fourth lady died before, they didn't feel that Qi Lianchen was particularly concerned, even if he had grief, but he should not be the one who would show this emotion, not to mention, the corpse found last night was just an old lady in the mansion.
Later, I heard the news from Liu Er that yesterday Master Qi just ordered a few small servants to fish out the corpse, and later it turned out that it was indeed Mama Li's, and the corpse was so swollen that it was almost impossible to recognize its original appearance.
Liu Er also said that when he prayed for the old man to order someone to salvage the body last night, there were no sons around to watch, that is to say, Qi Lianchen lied last night, so where would he go?
Putting these little things aside, Qingyi asked Liu Er again, did she hear anything else?
Liu Er said that Mama Li seemed to be tied to her feet with a heavy object, thrown into the lotus pond, and drowned in the water, and there was a broken section of the cloth belt on her feet, and later, the little girls fished out a package from the lotus pond, and the package was also tied with a broken cloth belt, and finally the piece was used as proof that these two cloth belts were out of one, and the fish in the lotus pond should have bitten off the cloth belt, and the body floated up.
Obviously, the package was the heavy object that sank Mama Li, and what was even more amazing was that the heavy object was full of broken silver, strings of copper coins, and some jewelry that Mama Li had saved during her lifetime!
So some people said that Mama Li was guilty because she denounced Ju'er, and she used her savings to sink herself into the lotus pond and commit suicide.
In any case, Master Qi didn't plan to pursue it, so he directly found a straw mat, wrapped Mama Li's body, and ran to the mountains east of the city to feed the wild wolves.
After listening to Liu Er's statement, Qingyi couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.
Suicide and death? Who would kill themselves in such a stupid and troublesome way? What's more, since Mama Li plans to die, why bother to continue to pack everything during her lifetime?
Suicide or homicide, in fact, it has long been clear at a glance.
Human life is like an ant, and in this prayer house, "there really is no heavenly reason and no compassion."
Qingyi couldn't help but wonder, if she really didn't do anything in the future, and she was killed for no reason, would she be quite miserable after death?
27
Because of the fact that Mama Li's body was disposed of like garbage after her death, Qingyi suddenly remembered a sentence, either die early or live wonderfully.
Since the last time she decided to devote herself to the gold shop, although her mind was all on it, but her person was still somewhat taboo after all, and Mama Li's incident undoubtedly stimulated her to some extent, almost the next day, after the emperor's reward edict was issued, she put on her hat in the afternoon and went out to the store, and the store already had the men's clothes that Steward Lin had prepared for her last time.
Instead of worrying about the troubles in the house every day, it is better to hide here, face your favorite jewelry, and personally explain the meaning and design concept of each jewelry to customers as a treasurer.
It is undeniable that the speed at which people in the capital pass on the "news" is not much slower than that of the modern Internet, and it is clear that the emperor will reward the Qi family with the first "wind and water" she designed in the morning, but in the afternoon, it seems that many big households and businesses in the capital are rumoring about it, and Qingyi is right to go out this time, just in time for the peak of passenger flow.
Because of the shops and accessories in the emperor's photo, some ministers who love to follow the trend have followed suit, and soon, most of the third batch of finished products in Qingyi's store were looted, and Ah Sheng had to temporarily postpone the "Mid-Autumn Festival Special - Reunion Fish" to supplement the "front-line" supply first. And Qingyi also comes to the store almost every day to sit in person.
As the saying goes, the tree is a big move.
Like "Chen Liufu", a popular "nouveau riche" type store, will naturally attract jealousy, helpless, after all, it is a gold shop favored by Prince Li and the emperor, and fellow merchants naturally dare not do anything openly, but behind the scenes, it is difficult to say.
The most obvious thing is that only half a month after the emperor's edict rewarded him that day, a gold shop called "Duan Dafu" was opened in the capital.
How similar this name is to "Chen Liufu"!
Not only that, according to the results of the guys sent out by Steward Lin, almost all of the things sold by "Duan Dafu" are mainly small pieces, that is, some golden hairpins, earrings, bracelets and other things, and their design is very similar to the same product of "Chen Liufu", and some laymen almost think that the style is the same.
As the main designer Qingyi, compared the jewelry sold by "Duan Dafu", the small differences can naturally be seen at a glance, but it can be done ninety percent similar, and this kind of plagiarism and forgery is too open. The most excessive thing is that the price of these "pseudo-Chen Liufu" jewelry is more than half cheaper than Qingyi's gold store.
As the small people who can consume this relatively civilian product, they can't tell how much difference there is between the two styles, but they want to follow the trend, naturally, they will choose cheap stores, just like that, "Duan Dafu" can be in just a few days, and it is also a boom in the capital.
Seeing that his gold shop was being confused by others and was deeply affected, Steward Lin was a little anxious, but he didn't dare to show it blatantly, Qingyi still saw the anxiety between his eyebrows, and she was not in a hurry because the customer flow in the store had decreased.
"Uncle Lin, how has our turnover been in the last seven days?" One day, while looking at the accounts, she asked seemingly casually.
Steward Lin replied truthfully, "Although it is worse than the previous week after the emperor issued the decree, but overall, it is the same as the previous week." ”
Hearing this, Qingyi raised his head and smiled, "In other words, the appearance of 'Duan Dafu' has not affected our real profits. ”
Steward Lin nodded, to be honest, when the data came out, he was also a little puzzled, obviously that "Duan Dafu" was so popular, and he had inquired, the traffic there was indeed not to be underestimated, on the other hand, the traffic of the store seemed to be less, but unexpectedly, the profit did not decrease.
Knowing that he was puzzled, Qingyi didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile, "The reason is very simple, the appearance of 'Duan Dafu' is also a good thing, this is considered a healthy competition in the market, because of the similar name, it is popular, and when customers see our store, they will also come in and walk around because of the similarity in the name." Moreover, it also allows us to find, 'Chen Liufook, the future development direction, that is, to go to the high-end market, although our customer flow is less, but the number of consumption is not reduced, indicating that the reduction is only those who come in to see and have no money to consume the low-consumption class, for those who can afford to consume customers, are still willing to choose the quality of the high, exquisite design of us. Therefore, in the future, we will develop the high-end and high-end markets in a targeted manner, take branding, and become the focus of consumption in the official blessing, so that those stores that take the civilian route can only be out of reach. ”
After hearing this, Steward Lin had an epiphany, and suddenly understood why Master Qi was willing to hand over this shop to Qingyi to take care of, it turned out that Master Qi, as a wizard in the business world, did have a unique vision that others did not have.
