The villain is far from my CP!

Could it be that you are too tired recently?

Or have you seen too few good-looking young men since you came here?

Bai Qiao's conscience was strongly condemned, she turned around in a huff, not daring to look at Qi Changting again.

Behind him, the young man stared at the girl's stiff back with a complicated expression.

"I'll leave the matter of closing the shop to my uncle." He dismissed the matter lightly and returned to the topic.

"Qianfang's actions have already caused quite a stir in the market. When the shop is under the market, it is the best time to release the silver issue. In this way, it is imminent how to identify the good and the bad of the shop, girl. Do you have an idea?"

Hearing that Qi Changting took the initiative to change the subject, Bai Qiao secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but in his heart there was a hatred of iron and steel.

Doesn't it just look better?As for staring at people all the time?

After she silently recited the ten rules of successful employees ten times in her heart, she finally felt that she could do it again.

"This matter is more complicated, young master, let me discuss it with shopkeeper Qi first, and then report back in detail."

Bai Qiao replied vaguely, without looking back, and left as if fleeing.

Qi Changting's fingers twitched, almost lifted, but remained silent.

The young man didn't say anything to persuade him to stay, he silently watched the figure go away, his brows were slightly furrowed, his eyes were indistinguishable.

Would she rather quarrel with that old stubborn Qi Tonghe than talk to him?

Obviously when they were in Jiangdu...the two had such a tacit understanding.

And... doesn't she like him?

For a moment, Qi Changting even wondered if Qi Tonghe said something to Bai Qiao that should not have been said, which made the girl retreat.

Forget it, it's okay to retreat.

He was in the quagmire, and he didn't have the heart to think about the love of these children.

What's more, a person like him...

How to be worthy of such a good girl.

On the second day, Qi Tonghe received Qi Changting's order and started to contact Meng Yi.

Naturally, he would not use the name of the Qi family, but pretended to be a merchant from Jiangdu with a few servants.

A few people spoke the soft language of Wu Nong from Wu County, and Meng Yi's face turned pale almost the moment he heard this accent.

Counting it, it has been 20 days since the Yan family collapsed, and the news from Jiangdu should reach Dongdu.

Meng Yi had a premonition about this matter, but he didn't expect to step on this juncture.

If it can be two days later, the Qi family will send the money over!

Before the negotiating table was wiped clean, the opponent softened first, Qi Tonghe snorted inwardly, and simply resorted to his trump card.

——If Meng Yi refused to sell, he would spread the news about Jiangdu.

At that time, the whole Dongdu will know that Huang Liang and Meng Yi are exhausted, not to mention that it is impossible for the Qi family to lend him any more money, and the loan sharks will definitely come to the door in advance to prevent Meng Yi from escaping.

Meng Yi's eyes were about to burst, wishing he could devour the flesh of the life in front of him.

But he knew in his heart that for the present plan, the only way is to sell the shop to them as the cunning profiteer said, in exchange for a two-day respite.

Fortunately, most of the merchants in Huainan are still recuperating. This caravan is the first and only one who knows the situation in Jiangdu.

As long as they hold them steady until the Qi family's money is delivered, he can still run away.

In the end, it was nothing more than the sub-shop for usury creditors turned into the cash obtained from selling the shop.

almost the same.

Meng Yi told himself this over and over again.

——He tacitly agreed that the Qi family would definitely lend him money.

In other words, he didn't dare to think about what would happen if the Qi family didn't lend it to him in the end.

Even so, after seeing the numbers on the transaction documents that the other party took out, he still rolled his eyes and almost fainted.

With a pale face, the man gritted his teeth and said: "The facade of this position is more than the price of the land alone!"

However, Qi Tonghe just spread his hands, whether he likes to sell or not.

Under the command of Bai Qiao, this war without gunpowder is destined to be a crushing victory.

Meng Yi could only pinch the person, and signed the contract for the store business with shaking hands.

That night, the contract was submitted to Qi Changting's case.

Qi Changting didn't go to Ganfang today, but Qi Tonghe came to the Third Prince's Mansion at night as usual.

"This is the deed, please read it, my lord."

Qi Tonghe seldom called Qi Changting His Highness, because he was getting old, and he was afraid that he would accidentally reveal his secrets in front of others because he was used to calling him.

There are two names and two fingerprints on the deed, the difference is visible to the naked eye, one is sharp and the other is trembling.

Just looking at these two names, Qi Changting could imagine the scene at that time, and couldn't help laughing.

Qi Tonghe looked over in surprise.

In his impression, Qi Changting seldom showed his face for these things, even if Qi Jingmin suffered such a big loss back then, he didn't show his face at all.

But the young man obviously had no intention of explaining, and his fingertips once again slid across the map of the city on the case.

Then he suddenly clicked on Huang Liang Yimeng's contract, and casually said: "Let's write this contract under Miss Bai's name."

"Is...?!" Qi Tonghe almost bit his tongue with one word.

He looked over in astonishment, almost thinking he had heard wrong.

It's not his fault, Qi Changting's tone seemed to be casual as if he was just sending out a steamed bun.

But that is the inner city of the Eastern Capital under the feet of the emperor, where every inch of land is precious!

Qi Changting didn't feel distressed at all, and continued to add: "After moving there, it's convenient to pay her the rent according to the price of that location. Don't forget that her new identity document must be written on the contract, don't write it as Baiqiao. .”

With all these details clearly explained, Qi Tonghe realized that Qi Changting was serious.

He took a breath.

Although the shopkeeper surnamed Meng is not a good person, his last sentence is true.

The shop Ganfang bought for 300 taels of gold was not even worth the land.

This can no longer be described as precious, so it is given to a little girl who is not yet ready?

Qi Tonghe was stunned for two breaths, and his right index finger involuntarily rubbed the envelope in his sleeve.

After a while, he suddenly smiled softly.

"Indeed, what the young master said is true," the man shook his head, "Young master has a unique insight and uses talents in an eclectic manner, but I was blocked."

"When I saw a little girl running behind the young master all day long, I always felt that she would not leave. But after just a few days, I had to accept that such a talent, how many parties did not show their true sincerity, It can't be kept at all."

Qi Tonghe laughed.

Didn't notice Qi Changting's noncommittal.

The young man squeezed the folding fan impatiently, feeling his ears burning.

In fact, he was not as complicated as Qi Tonghe thought, but...

It's just that Bai Qiao's mood has been a little bit wrong since yesterday.

He specifically asked He Cheng to ask around, the little girl usually talked about "Mr. Qi" in five words, and even asked the clerk in the shop if he was closer to any woman in Beijing.

But today, she didn't mention him at all.

Of course, it doesn't matter whether his little subordinates are gossiping about him behind his back, but in order to maintain harmony within this big ship, he feels that as the helm behind the scenes, he should do something.

He was a fool, and he couldn't figure out what made her unhappy, so he only hoped to make up for it before it was too late.

The little girl was born in a wealthy business family, and she seemed to like these external things very much. She would probably be satisfied with this gift.

No, this can't be considered a gift, it can only be called...

bribe.

The boy nodded secretly in his heart, but as he thought about it, his palms were still sweating involuntarily.

Over the years, no one has made him so nervous about giving him a gift.

Probably as Qi Tonghe said, Baiqiao is really a talent.

After finding a suitable reason for his behavior, Qi Changting raised his eyes, seeing that Qi Tonghe was still there, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

"Uncle Qi, is there anything else?"

"Yes." Qi Tonghe finally took out the envelope in his sleeve that had been crumpled by a corner.

Sealing and inscribing Baiqiao has already shown how important the content inside is.

How to identify merchants?

A gleam flashed in Qi Changting's eyes.

However, Qi Tonghe held that thin letter, but it seemed to be as heavy as a thousand pieces of gold.

"Your Highness," Qi Tonghe didn't call Qi Changting the young master, his voice even trembled unconsciously, "Are you really ready?"

He has seen the contents of the envelope, and no one knows what it means better than him.

He was [-]% sure that with the contents in this envelope, once Gan Fang started to release Yin, no one in the Eastern Capital would be able to stop him.

So……

His eyes paused on the map of Fangshi at the side, and the huge monster entrenched in the middle.

Shenghe cabinet workshop.

Qi Jingmin is good at money and food, not because he is good at it, but because his mother clan—the Queen's family has too many resources in money and food.

Above the court hall is the household department, and in the square market is Shenghe.

Shenghe not only has unknown exchanges with the household department, but if Qi Tonghe's guess is correct, according to the clues that Qianfang has found over the years, most of the dirty underground industries in Dongdu are also in Shenghe. Take the bill.

— including munitions.

Thinking about it one more step, if in the end, Emperor Huicheng still refused to make the eldest son the crown prince according to the old rules, then the most solid backing that Qi Jingmin used to snatch the gold-painted and carved dragon-wood chair was probably Shenghe.

Even, this is the real mission of this cabinet workshop.

"Your Highness, once you draw the bow, there will be no turning back." Qi Tonghe bowed deeply and bowed down.

He felt the condescending gaze of the young man in front of him.

Qi Changting's eyes were calm, his dark eyes couldn't even reflect the warm light of the lamp.

But only he himself knew that his palms were already wet with sweat, and the bamboo fan had a whitish nick under his fingertips.

Are you afraid?

he asked himself.

To be honest, this speed was indeed beyond his expectation.

The girl who rushed in front of him desperately at the grain store in Jiangdu helped him push the almost stranded ship into the sea with her own strength.

However, the speed of his heart beat told him.

He couldn't wait.

"Master Qi," Qi Changting also changed his title, his eyes were dark, he looked at Qi Tonghe's already somewhat rickety back, and said in a slow but undeniable voice: "This hall has never been afraid of wind and waves, and only wishes to dive into the sea."

"Cut the grass, remove the roots!"

Qi Tonghe knelt down with a plop.

"Chen, follow me to the death!"

It was night, and the lights in the study of the Third Prince's Mansion were lit all night.

However, in the Qianfang Cabinet next door, in the room closest to the Third Prince's Mansion, the girl had a beautiful dream.

Although I didn't get the candy from CP on the spot at the Jiji Ceremony, I have everything in my dream.

In the bustling outskirts of Dongdu, beside Xiting Lake, on a small boat carved with dragons and floating phoenixes.

The woman stood on the bow of the boat, her eyes slightly shifted, looking at the fiery red koi swimming slowly in the lake.

Behind him, a boy in a light blue robe approached step by step, stopping a step behind the woman.

Both of them breathed lightly.

Finally, the woman spoke, she seemed completely unaware that the man was behind him.

She seems to be asking herself, like asking a fish, and like asking the person behind her.

"Young master, would you like to marry me?"

The breeze blows across the lake, creating a pool of spring water.

The ripples spread, and a small fish jumped out of the lake with a puff, splashing jingling water.

Amidst the sound of water splashes, the young man took a quick step forward, and embraced the willow waist that he grasped gracefully.

The girl turned around in shock.

For a moment, he couldn't tell whether the wind-swept lake water was softer, or the boy's eyes were warmer.

"Okay." She heard the boy whisper in her ear.

Bai Qiao was extremely excited, and she probably knew that she was dreaming, but she still couldn't help getting closer.

At this moment, the thick fog in the dream suddenly dispersed.

The thick fog in front of the faceless paper man in the dream suddenly cleared.

She clearly saw the boy's face, and...

Herself.

Baiqiao: "?!!!!"

Come on!

The author has something to say:

Bai Qiao: I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!

Ahhh, her mother's solo innocence for more than [-] years!
