Return of the Swallow

Qiu Feishan also understood the meaning of his words, and said with a smile: "We can rest assured that the prince is so dedicated to the people. We came to see the prince today, because we will all live in the same land in the future. Let’s get to know each other for a while. Second, I have to ask the prince for help.”

Saying that, Qiu Feishan stretched out her hand backwards.

Seeing this, the maid reluctantly took out a wooden box from her bosom and handed it to Qiu Feishan.

Qiu Feishan stood up, put the wooden box on the table in front of Pang Xiao with both hands, and saluted: "My lord, today I want to ask my lord to help our Sitong number by the way when suppressing the bandits. Because Banditry is rampant, and the Stone has been robbed of goods out of the city for a long time, causing great economic losses. Our Stone is almost unable to operate.

"I know that my request is a bit difficult for others, but Nianzai Stone has always been a merchant who is enthusiastic about serving the country, and has made some contributions to the Pingnan Army. I also ask the prince to help me."

Pang Xiao raised his eyebrows and looked at the wooden box on the table.

Qiu Feishan opened the wooden box, and inside was a stack of silver bills, one of which was worth one thousand taels of silver.

"These are all bank notes that are redeemed at sight, and there are a total of one hundred in them. Although the Pingnan Army under the prince's rule has never taken a single needle from the people, suppressing bandits is a big deal. You can't let the brothers go on an empty stomach to maintain the safety of the people.

"These small gestures are just to let the brothers eat some thin porridge. Please accept it with a smile. Oh, by the way, the previous IOU between the Stone Number and your army has also been canceled. The soldiers defend their homes and the country, and we wait for useless merchants." Donating some military pay to the big guys should also be shared."

Qiu Feishan was still elegant and gentle, her words were polite, and her posture was low, but looking at her expression, she did not show any servility, as if nobility was something engraved in her bones and blood. It makes people feel that such a begging attitude is not disgusting, but appreciated.

Pang Xiao closed the wooden box with a snap, and pretended to mutter: "Here, it's not difficult to protect the cargo team of Stone by the way... Well, this king will agree to your request. Unexpectedly, Stone Hao is such a loyal businessman for the country, this king will report this matter to the Holy Majesty and reward Stone Hao."

Qiu Feishan laughed and saluted, "Thank you, my lord!"

"The shopkeeper Qiu Da doesn't have to be so polite, the army and the people are supposed to be a family." Pang Xiao smiled heartily and said in an official tone.

The two sat down again and chatted.

Qiu Feishan complimented Pang Xiao for his brilliant military exploits. Pang Xiao is self-effacing, which is the duty of a soldier.

Pang Xiao praised the extensive business of the Stone Company, and Qiu Feishan humbly remarked that it was the protection of his ancestors.

Qiu Feishan praised Pang Xiao for his righteous deeds in disaster relief, and Pang Xiao said that it was for the common people.

Pang Xiao also praised Qiu Feishan for managing the Stone in an orderly manner at a young age, but Qiu Feishan said on the other hand that it was not as troublesome as the prince who took care of an entire army.

The people who followed on both sides were already amazed.

They didn't expect that there are so many words of praise in the world, and they also didn't expect that the other party's cheeks were so thick. The whole body is comfortable.

Huzi: What a brazen woman, incomparable to our concubine, she is so naughty!

Maid: You really are a brazen rascal! He's just a market rogue, yet he can still be a prince,

Is God blind?

What Mu Jinghu thought in his heart was how he would describe to Qin Yining the big shopkeeper of the Stone Company after returning home. His expressive ability is slightly weaker...

The conversation ended in a pleasant atmosphere. When Qiu Feishan got up to leave, in Pang Xiao's words, she had already been upgraded to a righteous businessman for the country and the people.

When Qiu Feishan left the barracks, the moon was already high above the sky.

It was still cold in the early spring night, and the cold moonlight cast a soft light on her brocade cloak.

Qiu Feishan walked in front as usual, but the little maid beside her said with righteous indignation: "Girl! Why did you give the money surnamed Pang! He is a bandit, a robber! He is a mud leg, how can he be worthy of a girl like this?" Your honor!"

"Biying. Shut up."

Qiu Feishan scolded gently, and Biying quickly shut up, lowering her head and not daring to speak any more.

Mr. Liu asked: "Miss, you must have a plan for the next step if you praise Pang Zhixi so much?"

What he didn't ask was that since the beginning of the business, the Stone Company had not fallen so badly. The losses caused in the old capital were enormous, and they would probably be punished by their boss sooner or later after they returned.

Unexpectedly, when such a big incident happened, Qiu Feishan could still hold her breath. Instead of fighting with Pang Xiao and Pingnan Army thoroughly, she even took the initiative to send money to buy Pingnan Army's protection.

If this matter is known to the old club, the consequences will be disastrous!

Qiu Feishan smiled, and said lightly: "You don't have to worry, I actually have other plans. When I went out earlier, my old boss gave me another order. I think it's almost done."

"Oh? What plan?"

Qiu Feishan smiled and looked at Mr. Liu.

Mr. Liu immediately lowered his head, not daring to ask any more questions.

However, the master lost so much money, but he was still so happy. Thinking about it, this matter should be more important than the money.

Or maybe she just wanted to pay this sum of money on purpose?

*

It was already midnight when Mu Jinghu returned to the Qin residence. He wanted to tell Qin Yining about Qiu Feishan, but he was afraid of disturbing Qin Yining's rest, so he had no choice but to give up.

In fact, Qin Yining didn't sleep well at night. Both children had a low-grade fever last night. She, Bingtang and mother R took turns to take care of them all night. The fever subsided until dawn, so she could take a nap with peace of mind.

Because she was worried about brother Zhao and Han, Qin Yining only slept for an hour before getting up to check their situation. Qin Yining was still a little surprised when the maid asked Mu Jinghu to see her.

Mu Jinghu would not come to her easily to seek a meeting. Ever since Pang Xiao begged Mu Jinghu to protect the house, Mu Jinghu seldom went out for a walk. He was a bit withdrawn and didn't like to walk around the house. He preferred to find a spacious place where there was no one to practice swords, or he would go to the study in the outer courtyard In a nest, you can spend a day drinking tea and reading a book.

I took the initiative to find him today, presumably something happened in the barracks last night.

Qin Yining rubbed his sore and swollen forehead, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Mu, please come in."

Not long after, Mu Jinghu came quickly, and seeing the dark circles under Qin Yining's eyes, she couldn't help asking bluntly: "Did you not sleep well last night?"

"Yeah, the two children had a low fever, so I didn't sleep either."

Hearing that it was about the two babies, Mu Jinghu couldn't help being anxious. The baby is only two months old, and his body is small and soft. Last time Pang Xiao asked him to hug him, he didn't dare to touch it. If he had a low fever and got sick How about making a good or bad deal?

"What about now? Has the fever gone? I still have some medicine from my uncle, can you see if they can use it?"

Mu Jinghu was so anxious, Qin Yining couldn't help being grateful.

Mu Jinghu is a decent and pure person without so many twists and turns, but also has a good character and keeps his word. She saved herself from danger several times, thanks to the help of Mu Jinghu. Although Tianjizi always did some irritating things, Mu Jinghu was kind to them.

Qin Yining said gratefully: "Don't worry, they are much better now, the fever is over now, Mother R hugged them and went to sleep."

Only then did Mu Jinghu relax, nodded and said: "That's good. Pang Zhixi is thinking about you in the barracks too. If you let him know that the child is sick, I'm afraid it will be distracting. By the way, I sent it last night. Those, Pang Zhixi likes them very much, touched the bundle several times, but haven’t opened it up to look at it in front of me, presumably he intends to read it quietly by himself.”

Mu Jinghu said such words in such a straightforward tone that made Qin Yining embarrassed, because he was too straightforward and had no other thoughts, so Qin Yining had to cough dryly, nodded and said: "Thank you very much .”

"You're welcome." Mu Jinghu said, "By the way, there's one more thing. I met the shopkeeper of the Stone Company last night."

Qin Yining immediately became serious when he heard the words, "Where did you meet? What kind of person are you?"

"That's a woman, tall and slender, wearing men's clothing, I seem to have seen it near Zhifu Yang, she took two people to the barracks to meet Pang Zhixi, and even bribed him."

Mu Jinghu detailed what happened last night one by one, and finally said: "I don't think that woman is a fuel-efficient lamp. After suffering such a big loss, she can still give Pang Zhixi a gift without changing her face. They didn’t even mention Pang Zhixi’s robbery of her goods at Stone, but instead said that they would pay money to ask Pang Zhixi to help her protect the caravan. She is not simple, but she also has intentions to target her, so you all have to be careful.”

Qin Yining nodded, "I see, thank you."

"You're welcome. I mean, well, you have to be careful."

Qin Yining blinked in confusion, "What?"

Mu Jinghu coughed, and said: "Actually, I shouldn't say this, but I think that Qiu Da shopkeeper is doing well. She has suffered such a big loss, and she can still give money to Pang Zhixi. It's Pang Zhixi, you know how to take care of the children at home, don't work so hard and don't pay attention, and let someone stab you in the back."

Hearing this, Qin Yining couldn't help being surprised and grateful, and joked: "Aren't you Pang Zhixi's good brother? People say that it's very normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Why did you come here and remind me to be careful?" gone?"

Mu Jinghu shook his head and said: "It's not the same thing. You are different from Pang Zhixi. Pang Zhixi didn't give you a stable life like an ordinary woman, do you have the face to ask you to tolerate his three wives and four concubines like an ordinary woman? You suffered so much for him, and almost got killed several times. You didn’t blame him. You didn’t reconcile with him when you returned to Dazhou. It’s just to give him face. If he sees a different beauty Live by yourself, it's what he did wrong."
