The two sudden events of Jin Mingchi and Lin Chong disrupted the pace of work, but these two things will not be clear for a while. The birthday of the empress dowager in a few days is the top priority, so I can only focus on the shop first, and take advantage of the injury to cultivate in the mansion to speed up preparations for the birthday gift to the empress dowager.

The place where luxury goods make money is the brand premium, and if you want to make the brand valuable, you must have a great reputation. For example, the "leader" of the entire Song Dynasty jewelry industry. To evaluate this leader, it is naturally the royal family's "leader" of the jewelry. It is not easy to do this. First, it must be better than the skilled craftsmanship in the palace, and second, it must send things into the palace.

Looking at the entire Bianjing, the only ones who can have this ability are the Wang and Li families.

They also secretly sent Liu Laosi to inquire and see what they took out for the birthday party of the Queen Mother. The Wang and Li family naturally began to be wary of Wanbaolou. Customers often "accidentally" walked to the inner room of Wanbaolou store and looked around, without saying the purpose.

These are all commercial espionage activities carried out behind the scenes. On the surface, Yanglou Street is still as calm as ever. Unlike in the past, there is a small tofu stall in front of Wanbaolou, which is in full swing.

Although Su Xiangning was a little frightened, she was not actually hurt. She set off on time at dawn.

The tofu stall is steaming hot, and bowls of tofu are warm in the steamer, emitting an attractive fragrance.

The maid Qingguo was sleepy and yawned, "Miss... Let's take a day off. You were frightened a few days ago and can't be tired."

Su Xiangning sat on the stool with her chin supported by her hands, staring at the peddlers who occasionally passed by the street, and she came to her senses when she heard Qingguo's words.

"The business is done, it's only been a few days."

"Miss is born to enjoy a life of happiness. Why do you have to ask for trouble? I see that Mr. Lin is very nice to you, why don't you...?"

"Lin Fengyang's mentality is not right, I have nothing to do with him."

"Oh." Qing'er drooped her head: "Miss, we can't be too picky."

They are all fair-going women who come out of Minglou. They can rely on a wealthy man and can only rely on them. They can control whether the other party is sincere or not, but these words cannot be said. Qingguo also admires the lady for her willingness to endure hardship, but it is not a solution to just endure hardship but not earning money. This is a month-long bean flower, and it is not as rewarded as a benefactor in the past. Who can stand it?

Su Xiang didn't respond. Seeing Dongfang gradually turned white, she felt relieved.

Well...at least this small area is the territory of the family...

For some reason, the fairy woman pursed her lips and chuckled.

"Come on the bowl of tofu!"

After a moment, the three guys from Wanbaolou came over and sat around the small table and talked about the trouble.

As the sky was getting dark, several shops around also opened, shopkeepers and friends came over, and the stalls became busy.

Su Xiangning smiled and was busy greeting regular customers, and also learned to chat with her friends about family matters. When the girl got married, who was angry and returned to her parents' home. The trivial matters were talked about.

After half a month, the business of the tofu stall was getting better and better, and Su Xiangning got the nickname of "Douhua Xishi". Occasionally, some former sisters came to support the show, some congratulations and some jokes. How many of them are really hard to figure out, Su Xiangning laughed it off.

The only regret is that Mr. Su hasn't been here for a long time. Jin Mingchi seems to be injured, and he doesn't know if he has recovered...

--------

A half-month flashed, and the end of May was approaching.

The Black Feather Guard searched everywhere, but unfortunately there was no news about Lin Chong. Instead, he found his "accomplice", the person who robbed the prison, a man named Jing Feng, who was recognized while chasing him.

The Hei Yuwei Guard investigated and found that he was a runaway person. He had a sister named Jing. He usually traveled around the world to manage the rules of the juggling team. For some reason, he ran into Lin Chong and killed people and abscond. After a few days of pursuit, he was seriously injured and disappeared. He is not aware of his life or death. The juggling team has not found the whereabouts, so he can only put it aside first.

It’s okay to take a break for ten days and walk. Every day, except tinkering with jewelry in the room, I spent the rest of my time lying on the soft couch to tell stories to Xie Yijun and two little maids.

Xie Yijun's body has recovered most of her body, and she must have pain, but this minor injury is irrelevant to her. She gets up before dawn every day and starts practicing. By the way, she also talks about things in the martial arts world with two little maids who serve her.

Xiao Yutang was so excited that he was robbed of wealth and helped the poor, killed corrupt officials, eliminated traitors, etc., and he was so excited that he thought about it and made Jinlan with the help of the girl Xie, but he was naturally beaten up by Han'er.

To eliminate traitors? Can you still want to make a young man change?

I never left the house these days when I was recuperating, because the people in the mansion were eating less and they were all at the same table. Seeing the two maids keep pleasing Xie Yijun, it actually felt quite warm.

But after all, the two of them are not on the same front. One is an official and the other is a thief. Those who should leave will always leave.

On the morning of May 20th, Cao Hua was struggling with the phoenix crown that was about to be completed in the house, and the door was suddenly knocked.

"Are you there?"

Cao Hua raised his head and was a little surprised. It was the first time that Xie Yijun came to find him.

He stood up and opened the door, but saw Xie Yijun wearing a gorgeous red dress, turning his head and looking at him calmly.

"What? Want to go out for a walk?"

I haven't gone out these days, and thought Xie Yijun was so depressed that she asked.

Xie Yijun was silent for a moment, walked into the house and sat down. Instead of the cold face he used to treat him, he returned to Shiquan Lane with the freedom and sunshine of the first meeting: "I have been in the capital for almost four months, and there has been no news coming back, for fear that my family will worry."

This is considered a farewell.

After several months of contact, she also realized that Cao Hua was not a villain, and she would definitely not be able to kill him. She still had a lot of things to do, and it was impossible for her to stay in Bianjing as a vase.

Cao Hua thought about it and laughed: "Why do I have someone send you a letter back?"

Xie Yijun's eyes turned fierce and she suddenly lost her good face.

Tai Sui of Kyoto sent a letter to the rebels in Western Shu, telling Xi Shu that what did she want to do if Xie Yijun was in his hands?

"You can't keep me if you are injured. I'll write down the past. But if you start doing evil again, I'll still kill you."

"Xie Daxia, I am the governor of the Heiyu Guard. It is impossible to let the tiger go back to the mountain. Isn't it enough to just monitor me in Bianjing? It's so troublesome to run around."

"I, Xie Yijun, never mistakenly killed a good person, nor did I let a bad person go. If you stop me if I am afraid that I will harm the people, I can swear to you that if I stop me for the sake of the Song Dynasty for thousands of years, I will be too lazy to listen."

Stubborn to leave.

Cao Hua sat at the table and tapped his fingers on the table for a long time without saying a word.

He is here for the safety of the people or forever. He can't beat anyone, and he just wants to find a powerful bodyguard.

Seeing Cao Hua's eyes were cold and his face was as deep as water, Xie Yijun thought he had thought about some bad ideas and frowned slightly: "Don't use tricks, it's not easy to accumulate some friendship."

She was really afraid that Cao Hua would be angry and angry to do something to her. After all, Cao Hua was very skilled in martial arts, and she might not have been beaten even if she was injured.

If Cao Hua uses both soft and hard to her, or even does something that is too overbearing, she can't force her to death like an ordinary woman.

After all, we still regard "Su Shi" as friends and do not want to tear each other apart.

Cao Hua thought about it over and over again and indeed had the idea of ​​cooking raw rice, but the idea is the idea, and he has a bottom line to achieve his goals. After all, he is a modern person and cherishes every friend he likes.

Since he couldn't keep it, Cao Hua did not force it, but just stood up and took the waist card and handed it to Xie Yijun: "This is the waist card of the Black Feather Guard. When he met the government's people, he would not have the right to investigate all local governments, so that you can return to Western Shu without any obstacles."

Xie Yijun was stunned for a moment, but was a little surprised: "You really let me go?"

She was ready to be tied up and locked up for several months, but she didn't expect to agree with it casually.

Cao Hua was quite helpless: "What can I do if you want to leave? But remember, I treat you as a friend, live a lifelong relationship, and think twice before doing anything."

He doesn't want to let Xie Yijun go, and another thing is his identity as a traitor. If Xie Yijun gets into trouble after going out, will he catch him or not? If he kills the wrong person and crosses his bottom line, will he save him or not?

Xie Yijun took the wooden sign and looked at it a few times, with a serious look: "Okay, I try not to cause trouble for you."

"It's not as good as possible, it's certain."

Xie Yijun nodded and stretched out his hand again, smiling as bright as a peach and plum.

Cao Hua was a little confused. After reacting, he smiled slightly, wanting to shake hands with Xie Yijun and say goodbye.

Xie Yijun hurriedly retracted her hand and said coldly: "Give me one of your fire sticks."

She had seen the power of a musket, and it was most appropriate to walk around the world to save her life. She wrote off her former hatred and sacrificed herself to block the arrows of Cao Hua. How could she not nod before leaving?

She is a thief, and she won’t leave the empty house.

Cao Hua thought for a moment. Anyway, the craftsmen were developing batches, and they were not short of one or two. Then he pulled out a fire kirin from his boots: "Don't just use it to hit me. Be careful when you are disfigured. Don't look for me if you are disfigured."

After several months of improvement by craftsmen, the musket was added with a safety and sight that stuck the hammer. The rifling process was too high and could not be completed in a short time, but the current musket has a range of 40 steps.

Xie Yijun took the musket, carefully inserted it into the back, and stood up and said, "I owe you a favor. If you have a chance in the future, I will pay it back."

"Okay, stay for another two days, I'll teach you how to use it."
