Chapter 118: Separate Actions

Qiu Yan followed Lu Chiye, inspected several shops that had problems recently, and after solving the relevant problems, he couldn't help but let out a long breath.

"Now you're finally relieved, aren't you? These days, I go in and out with you every day, if others don't know the inside story, they still think that I have become a conjoined baby with you, and they can't be separated. ”

"It's better to be inseparable, lest my wife have a beautiful face and a moon appearance, and there are always those who don't look at you and beat you in the back. I don't have that big belly! ”

Lu Chiye thought that the scholar was still undead towards Qiu Yan, and his heart was extremely unhappy.

I don't know if they are already husband and wife?

Moreover, Qiu Yan had reminded him again and again before, that scholar was still like this.

I thought he was a sensible reader before, but now that I look at it, he is actually a bad blank with a dead face!

"Okay, okay, I know what you're thinking, don't talk about that. There is something to do in the afternoon, so let's find a restaurant outside to eat first, I'm really hungry after walking for so long. ”

Qiu Yan said, and touched his stomach.

It seemed that in order to match her situation at this moment, her stomach really rumbled twice.

Lu Chiye suddenly felt a little guilty, and hurriedly took Qiu Yan to the nearest restaurant with a rather stylish decoration, and after sitting down with her in a seat on the street, he greeted the shopkeeper.

"Little second brother, bring all the best wine and food you have here! The wine should be sweeter, and my wife likes to have two drinks. ”

After speaking, he threw two pieces of broken silver at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper watched the guests make generous moves, laughed so much that his eyes were almost out of sight, and agreed one after another.

"Okay, two guest officers, please wait a moment, the small one will arrange the kitchen to cook."

As he spoke, he loudly announced the name of the dish to the kitchen.

Qiu Yan smiled slightly, looking at the traffic outside, not knowing what to think.

Just when Lu Chiye was about to remind Qiu Yan again, it was estimated that the scholar did not have any good intentions, but a subordinate who had arranged for him to go out to investigate some things suddenly came over, lowered his voice next to him, and said a few words.

When Lu Chiye heard this, he gently knocked twice on the table.

After Qiu Yan came back to her senses, she looked at her with some guilt.

"I have some things to deal with first, and you'll eat them first when the food comes in, okay? Don't have to wait for me. ”

"Then hurry up, I heard that the chef in this store serves the food very quickly, and the wind is still blowing outside, don't let it cool for a while, let's go."

As he spoke, Qiu Yan waved his hand at Lu Chiye.

Lu Chiye nodded hurriedly, and after leading his subordinates to the spacious corridor, he looked at him seriously.

"How? How's it going? ”

"The head of the family, the little ones have been checked before, and the little ones have already found the Linlang girl you said. The reason why she had to come to Qiguang Mansion with her before was actually sold by someone. Now she has become a concubine in another family here. However, the so-called husband she is marrying now has an extremely bad temper, and as for the large and small wounds on her body, they are all beaten by her current husband. ”

"I knew that she wanted to put these things on my head before the loss, but luckily you checked it out in advance. By the way, don't tell Madame about this for the time being, you continue to stare at her in secret, understand? ”

The subordinate nodded, and after Lu Chiye gave a few more orders, he was just about to let his subordinate leave first, but he keenly heard the sound of someone deliberately lowering his breathing next to him, and the sound of footsteps rubbing on the ground.

Lu Chiye immediately turned his head vigilantly, but except for the guests who came and went, he didn't find anything strange, and he secretly said that it was not good.

Hurriedly took the subordinate just now and divided them into two directions, left and right, and chased after each other.

After a short while, when they met again at the restaurant, the two looked at each other and shook their heads.

Although he didn't see anything suspicious just now, Lu Chiye didn't pay much attention to it considering that the content of the conversation he had with his subordinates just now was not very secretive.

After beckoning his subordinates to continue staring at Linlang, he returned to Qiu Yan.

At this moment, in an extremely secret alley, Dongmei, who had been arranged by Cao Xinfeng before, lifted her disguise and slowly walked out of the alley.

I secretly thought to myself that Mrs. had guessed correctly before, and it seemed that the two young ladies and their husbands were not as loving as they seemed on the surface.

However, this makes it easier to act a day later.

After Lu Chiye returned to Qiu Yan, he stretched out his hand and waved in front of her.

Seeing that several dishes had been placed on the table, Qiu Yan hadn't moved her chopsticks yet, and hurriedly urged her.

"Eat quickly, didn't you just say you were hungry?"

"I'm waiting for you, what's wrong? Did you encounter something when you went out in such a hurry just now? Qiu Yan came back to his senses.

"Nothing." Lu Chiye first put a few dishes into Qiuyan's chopsticks before he said.

"It's just a little business business, it's okay, let's eat first, I'll be busy in the afternoon." I guess that the goods that we arranged for someone to send from outside will have to be delivered tomorrow morning at the latest, and we have to go back and check it. ”

"It makes sense," mentioned business matters, Qiu Yan was also much more cautious.

Lowering his head, he began to speed up as much as possible, wanting to finish this meal as soon as possible.

Sure enough, when I got back to the store and checked the recent ledger, I heard the shouts of the guys outside.

"The head of the house, madam, the little one has sent this batch of goods back, please ask the head of the house and the lady to check and accept!"

"Here it is." Qiu Yan hurriedly put the abacus aside, and after walking out of the counter with Lu Chiye in person, he put on specially customized gloves and arranged for the guys to send this batch of goods to the most spacious backyard warehouse, so that the workers could unload the goods on it one by one.

However, looking at the muddy appearance of the carriage, Lu Chi was a little worried, so he took the initiative to ask.

"It's not easy to walk all the way, right? You see, there's mud all over here, did this box fall to the ground before? ”

"Yes," the guy didn't dare to hide it, and hurriedly explained beside him.

"Master, the weather in the place where the goods were delivered this time is really bad, and it rains continuously every day. It took a lot of effort for the brothers to send things over in the face of the storm. There was a lot of money in this batch of goods, and the brothers were worried that it would affect the affairs here, so they rushed over through thick and thin. ”

"I've worked hard for you this time, and I will double your monthly money next month, which will be regarded as a bonus for you. Okay, okay, you go and rest first, and I'll check it with the head of the house. ”

After saying that, Qiu Yan first arranged for the guy who led the team to rest next to him, and with the help of the shopkeeper, he checked the quantity of goods one by one.

Although the number of goods in this batch is in line with what was previously stated, several boxes have fallen to the ground, and the contents have been damaged to varying degrees.

Even though soft hay has been prepared on all sides of the box, and some recycled clothing has been prepared to help mitigate the damage, the situation is still not optimistic.

After opening the box continuously and inspecting nearly half of the goods, Qiu Yan couldn't help but sigh at Lu Chiye.

"The quality of this shipment is completely different from what I imagined, and it is too far away. You see, most of them are broken. ”

With that, she took out a batch of porcelain from one of the boxes.

Among them, a large blue and white porcelain bowl that was originally quite beautiful actually appeared a gap at this time, and such a thing must not be sold.

"I know, but they've done their best, and it's not easy to get it on time. In this case, let's split up and find out all the damaged goods first, and then find a way to bring back what can be repaired from the neighborhood. If it really doesn't work, find someone in Qiguang Mansion to prepare again. We have such a reputation that is not easy to come by, but we must not be affected by this bad weather. Lu Chiye responded.

"I think so too, we have been delayed here for so long, and we have finally gained everyone's trust. You can't just fall short because of this batch of goods. In this way, husband, since there are too many things, let's go our separate ways. I'll check the goods here first, and you'll be in charge of going to other stores, and if I have something urgent, I'll arrange for someone to tell you. ”

Lu Chiye also knew that this was the best way for now, so he could only nod helplessly.

Just when Qiu Yan led the shopkeeper to inspect the entire batch of goods, registered some damaged and defective goods one after another, and planned to transfer goods from nearby or arrange for someone to re-prepare, they suddenly received a letter from Shen Fengxing to them.

It also mentions the problems that have arisen in the cultivation of medicinal herbs.

Although Shen Fengxing had already taught the first batch of villagers who cooperated with them how to grow medicinal herbs, not all of them were literate.

Even though he has painted each herb quite vividly, the situation is different at each stage of production.

It is quite difficult for those villagers who don't know a few words to grow medicinal herbs just by relying on the comparison of pictures, all of which require manpower.

However, Qiu Yan and the others felt that the business of making medicinal materials was definitely a sure way to make money, and since they had already decided to do it, they had to stick to it for a long time.

In addition, it is necessary to train a group of experienced planters.

After receiving Shen Fengxing's letter, he hurriedly began to train in Qiguang Mansion, and then sent these experienced people over.

In this way, there are more things at hand.
