The teahouse was close to Shuiyun, and the two of them rushed back to their room before Mr. Qin arrived.

On the way, Lei Shouqing also specially took back the door plaque that someone had made. The huge "Shuiyunju" was written in bronzing script and hung on the door.

When Qin Zhihan came back, he saw those three words and laughed, "What a fool, who can hang such a plaque on the gate of another courtyard or a study room." The guard who originally protected Qin Muyun reminded, "This is the name given to the lady." started."

"Miss?" Qin Zhihan took another two steps back, looked at the three words carefully, and finally shook his head and smiled, "You willful. Is this Zhao Kang letting her?"

The guard replied, "The name was given by Mrs. Zhao Yang, and the plaque was also made by Mr. Zhao. However, everyone in Mr. Zhao's house calls this Linhe courtyard. No one has ever called this Shuiyunju seriously. It’s for others to hand over greeting posts to make it easy to find in the future.”

Qin Zhihan was thoughtful, and secretly said, "Zhao Kang also let Yun'er do whatever he wants for such a big matter as a plaque on the gate of a mansion. I don't believe that he has no thoughts about Yun'er." So he went to Qin Muyun and asked her what she thought about it. Are you clear?

Mr. Qin felt that his daughter's reputation had gone out, and since the two of them were interesting, it was rare that they were lovers, even if they didn't like Zhao Kang very much, it would be hard to beat each other.Besides, Mr. Qin thinks that with Zhao Kang's wealth and background, recruiting him as his son-in-law is a way of looking up to him, so that his daughter can stay by his side in the future, so why not do it?

Qin Muyun knew what he was thinking, but she had a lot of concerns, for example, Miss Qin didn't want Zhao Xianci to wear men's clothes all the time, and as she got older, men's clothes didn't look so good.Not to mention the corset, Adam's apple is a big problem.If it wasn't for Zhao Xianci's young age and his thin body, people would think that he hadn't grown up yet, I'm afraid someone would gradually notice something strange.

Zhao Xianci himself is also worried about this problem, so he has been asking Lei Shouqing recently if there is any way to get a Adam's apple.It's cold now, and she doesn't expose her neck, so she won't be able to block it when she gets hot in the future.

What Miss Qin is most worried about is that if she agrees to the marriage now, her father will find out the truth in the future, and she doesn't know how to treat Zhao Xianci.Although Qin Yushi is full-time in charge of books, Qin Muyun doesn't think his father is a soft-hearted person.

But right now there seems to be no better way, so let's take a step at a time.

"It's too early to talk about getting married." Qin Muyun said, "Father, if you are really worried, why don't you let Mr. Zhao and I get married for now. Mr. Zhao has just started his career, so I'm afraid he doesn't have the heart to plan a marriage, and neither do I. Then I want to get married." The subject changed, and he said, "Young Master Zhao is not interested in the love of children now, and I don't want to force her at this time. Dad, you can let me make my own decisions, okay? I promise you, up to three years -"

"Three years?" Lord Qin said in surprise, "You are sixteen now, and in three years, other people's children will run around all over the place. You still have three years?"

Qin Muyun choked for a moment, "Could it be that now that I'm married, I can have children? Daddy, if you don't worry, then I'll go find Mr. Zhao right now."

"Come back!" Qin Zhihan was about to be pissed off by his daughter, "You just say that the boy surnamed Zhao is not interested in you. Did you inscribe your name on the door plaque of his mansion? Anyone can inscribe the door plaque. What?" He sighed heavily, "I think you just read too much, and your ideas are too big, if I knew it earlier, I shouldn't have spoiled you like this."

Qin Muyun pursed his lips, but remained silent.

Qin Zhihan said earnestly again, "Although I intend to recruit him as my son-in-law, you can't bully him. Anyway, Zhao Kang is a man with ambition. Look at his handwriting. He took Zhao Kang empty-handed." The most prestigious Nanrun Liangzhuang in his family is now encouraging merchants in Nan Province to cooperate with him. Even I, who don't know much about business, can see that he may want to do more than that. Such a high-minded person, we Even if the family is much stronger than him, you should pay attention, the girl's family can't be too strong. Your mother and I liked Xuejin because the child has a good temper, and if you want to be strong, he will let you."

Qin Muyun frowned, "Father, what do I listen to, you seem to like him more than I do."

"I'm not doing it for you!" Master Qin sighed, "Forget it, it's better to get married first. Otherwise, he has nothing now. If he goes home and tells your mother, she might worry about it. How about first Give him some time and let him do it."

Pausing for a moment, he said, "It's better to persuade him to get a good grade." Then he looked at Qin Muyun lovingly, "Yun'er, you and your mother are not in good health. I didn't want your mother to get pregnant, but After having you, I feel that it is God's blessing. In this life, Dad asks for nothing but you and your mother to be safe and well. Dad doesn't force you to marry or not, but he doesn't want your mother to worry... Sigh, Yun'er, can you understand my father's painstaking efforts?"

Qin Muyun's nose was a little sore, "Father, my daughter has made you worry."

"Silly boy, if Dad doesn't bother about you, who else would he bother about?" Qin Zhihan thought for a while, "It will be your birthday in two days, after your birthday is over, while Dad is still here, I will arrange the marriage for you." It's settled. However, after that, you'd better go back with Dad first, and take that kid surnamed Zhao with you, so that your mother can also meet him."

Qin Muyun said, "Okay. But about the engagement, my daughter wants to tell her personally."

"This..." Qin Zhihan showed embarrassment, "How can I let the girl talk about it by herself? It's so unruly."

"But if you want to say it, she will think that you are using your status to suppress her. I'm afraid you can't say a few words and offend you again."

Qin Zhihan sneered, "I think you are worried that the boy will offend me, is your father so stingy?"

"Father~" Qin Muyun couldn't help acting coquettishly, and Qin Zhihan softened his heart, "It's alright, alright, go as you please. It's not like I haven't heard the rumors about your father, just leave him alone!" Mr. Qin said because he has no children. , I don't know how long the spine has been poked by the world, and I have long been able to face these malice calmly.He protected Zhou Yueqing very well, and he didn't want Mrs. Qin to listen to the world's unreasonable opinions, lest she would be hurt again.

Only then did Qin Muyun feel relieved, and said, "Father, those people at the door, can you withdraw?"

"Withdraw what!" Qin Zhihan turned cold, "They are all protecting you. Zhao Kang is not thinking now, if he realizes one day and has a wrong mind about you, you are a weak woman—"

"Father!" Qin Muyun blushed instantly, "You are old and disrespectful!"

Qin Zhihan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You're not married yet, so you turned your elbows away? Don't worry, the guards won't stop you, but they have to guard against Zhao Kang, and you have to be careful. Before getting married, you must not let that kid take advantage of you!"

Since he raised Qin Muyun as his son since childhood, Qin Zhihan has less scruples when speaking to her.Qin Muyun thought to himself, it is not certain who will take advantage of whom!

It's just that after today, the day after tomorrow is the opening day of Fulong Building, Zhao Xianci is very busy at the moment, after sending her back, he left and has not returned yet.

But today was so busy, because Zhao Xianci was afraid that she would be locked up in the room and bored, so he deliberately took time to take Qin Muyun out and spend the whole afternoon with her.To say that he doesn't have himself in his heart, Qin Muyun thinks it's really impossible.

Thinking of this, I feel my heart soften.Qin Muyun said, "Father, you said you would go to cheer on the opening day, but are you serious?"

"He's going to be my son-in-law. If I don't want to cheer you up, don't you have to turn against me?" Master Qin sighed, "Just go, this time, the officials from the Southern Province will not dare to embarrass him in the future." It's not easy for a poor boy."

"Father, you're so kind!" Qin Muyun thought, when Zhao Xianci came back, he would discuss with her about getting married, no matter what, let her father be coaxed first.

But Zhao Xianci is indeed too busy.She originally wanted to bring Qin Muyun out in the afternoon, and then let people walk around to relax, so that they can go to work by themselves. Who would have thought that after sitting down and chatting for a few words, the chat would last until evening.But the work that should be busy is still busy. The opening is imminent. Even if there is the experienced shopkeeper He Fuhe to help watch, and Lei Ada will help, but the things are trivial, and many things need her to make up her mind. Long Lou was blocked by a lot of problems, and he was so busy that he didn't even have time to drink his saliva in the middle of the night.

The next day, seeing that Zhao Xianci was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground, Wan Qing, Mo Xiaoshi, Lei Shouqing, and Mo Xiaoxing all ran to help.Qin Muyun couldn't sit still, and wanted to help, but Qin Zhihan pushed him down in the end, sent a few capable men to go, and finally went to give advice himself.

Mr. Qin is not good at business, but he is quite discerning in employing people.When Zhao Xianci saw him coming to command, he didn't dare to say anything, so he let everyone do what Master Qin wanted.Master Qin asked her what she wanted to do, asked about the manpower of Fulonglou, and at the same time sent someone to help her.

How about saying that Mr. Qin is the supervisory censor!The efficiency of the people sent out is getting better and better, and many chores are more organized.While Zhao Xianci was busy, while watching, he silently memorized it in his heart.

Fortunately, these are also finishing work, and everyone is busy until the evening, and they are almost done.Zhao Xianci first asked everyone to go back and have a good rest, and left Wanqing to settle the wages, and went to express his thanks to Mr. Qin.

Qin Zhihan responded, and then said, "It's not easy to do business. I see that it is not easy for you to do this at such a young age. But," he mused, "You'd better get a job. Although you are talented, if you don't have fame, you may not be able to do business well. Just like your Fulong Building, it was originally a property purchased by Zhao in Southern Province. You should have heard of Zhao Zixing, Mr. Zhao, he is The imperial merchant who was in business by order, was appointed to the household department and served as a fourth-rank official, and was appreciated by the first emperor. He was promoted directly from a commoner to a fourth-rank purchaser. They're all famous."

As he said that, Qin Zhihan sighed, "I dealt with him in the early years in Beijing. Mr. Zhao is a very smart person. Although I have always disliked merchants, Mr. Zhao is tolerant and resilient. I appreciate it quite a bit, but it’s a pity that my son doesn’t live up to it—” As he spoke, he looked up at the newly hung three-character plaque of "Fulong Tower", and then at the plaque of "Nanrun Liangzhuang" that had been put aside, Without further talking, he turned to Zhao Xian and said, "If you want to make a career, seeking fame will only benefit you."

Zhao Xianci was in a complicated mood.Walking outside these days, I can always hear rumors about her father. Only then did Zhao Xianci realize that her father is such a legendary figure. It seems that everyone mentions the word "Zhao Zixing" spontaneously. A wave of admiration.However, her father had been dead for too long, and she knew very little about him in her boudoir.Even in his previous life, after being exiled from the Zhou family, he hadn't had much information about Zhao Zixing.

Now not only did he know that his father was a legendary figure in the Southern Province, but he even found out that there was another reason for his father's death.How can Zhao Xianci not feel emotional?After listening to Master Qin's words, Zhao Xianci couldn't help but ask, "I have not been in Nan Province for a long time, but I only heard that this is Master Zhao's property, but I know very little about Master Zhao's deeds. Master Zhao's?"

How to know?Qin Zhihan thought about it. At the beginning, he was a scholar who only loved reading. He thought that the foundation of the country was farming, and he disliked merchants the most. However, when he was out, he met Zhao Zixing who was negotiating business with merchants.Mr. Qin was arrogant and arrogant. He was also an arrogant young man at that time. He couldn't understand that businessmen would not give them good looks. Therefore, when he learned that Zhao Zixing was a businessman, he was quite displeased.Until later, when the Baibao Building was erected, Qin Zhihan was also taken to hang out by his friends, and met Zhao Zixing again.

Since then, Baibaolou has strict thresholds, and non-high-ranking officials and nobles are not allowed to enter.Later, it was also in Baibao Building that Qin Zhihan met Zhou Yueqing, and it was only then that Master Qin accomplished the rest of his life.But when he learned that it was Zhao Zixing who built Baibaolou by himself, Qin Zhihan still had a word of convincing in his heart, no matter how disdainful he was.Although he didn't have much contact with Zhao Zixing, every time he met, no matter how bad his attitude was, Zhao Zixing always looked gentle and refined, which seemed that Qin Zhihan had no manners.

In front of a person who is always as gentle as jade, even rudeness will become polite.Because of this, Qin Zhihan gradually changed his view of Zhao Zixing, especially later on he became sensible and knew the secrets between Zhao Zixing and Baibaolou, so he was not surprised at all that he was promoted to the fourth rank with an exception.

Others only said that Mr. Zhao was lucky, but they didn't know that it was some insignificant compensation from the court after Mr. Zhao lost his sweetheart and career.
