    The eldest wife asked about the solution that Zhuang Xinyan mentioned before. Zhuang Xinyan nodded, picked up the pen and wrote on the paper. Yueniang, who was standing beside the eldest wife, took advantage of this space and said, "Madam, in my opinion, I should simply send the second young master to the government, and make the things that the second young master do public to the world. Even if she can make Xinchuan come back safely in the end, she has no face to compete for the position of the family. The second concubine is so arrogant only after she is determined to be soft-hearted."

    Qin Tian frowned when he heard this, and when the eldest wife saw it, she asked, "Qin Tian, ​​do you have any opinion, but it doesn't matter, we don't treat you as an outsider."

    Yueniang also looked at Qin Tian and smiled: "Yes, you young people have good brains. If what I said is wrong, you can say that you don't have to worry about my old face."

    Yueniang has been with her wife since she was a child, with all her heart towards her, as long as it is for her good, she is happy, and there is no jealousy.

    Seeing Yueniang saying this, Qin Tian had no scruples and said with a smile, "Actually, I don't have any other ideas, but I think the second concubine is arrogant and has a background. If the second young master is really sent to the government, I'm afraid that she will be 'forced' to do anything. Once she successfully survives this disaster, and because she has no hope of being the head of the tea shop, I am afraid that she will act more recklessly, but will be buried for the tea shop. Doom."

    "That's right..." The eldest lady looked at Qin Tian and nodded with a smile, her expression full of approval, "This is just one of them..." Having said this, the eldest lady sighed, "The master entrusted the entire house to me before he died, He also entrusted his bones and blood to me. Although Xinchuan disappointed me, he was not a big 'treacher'. If he really wanted to send him to the government, it would almost be equivalent to destroying him. And Xinchuan will also be implicated. , he is an honest child, he is only 'forced' to do so, I don't want to kill these two children. I can't treat them equally, whether they are the direct son or the concubine. , the family fights back and forth, and you are dead and alive, and the only person who suffers can be the dealer itself, the dealer is damaged, and will only be taken advantage of by others, and in the end, who can become the real winner?"

    Hearing what the eldest wife said, Qin Tian suddenly understood why Master Zhuang dared to 'hand over' all the property to the eldest wife before she died. Master Zhuang must be convinced of the behavior of the eldest wife and knew that she would not do anything harmful. As for the Zhuang family, he knew that she would not be able to tolerate other concubines and concubines, otherwise, no matter how affectionate they were, they would only be people by the side of the pillow. Isn't he afraid that his wife and her family would take possession of the property alone?

    "But madam, people don't think that way anymore. Look at the second concubine's appearance, she seems to want to swallow us alive," Yueniang said again.

    The eldest lady smiled, "The reason why she can't hold back is because of her status. Before she was a concubine, I was tolerant to her because of the promise I had made with her, but now, I have Decided to disqualify Xin Chuan's heir, after that, I will slowly let her understand her identity as long as I am alive, it is not her turn to be presumptuous by the banker." After speaking, she looked at Zhuang Xinyan, "Now look at Xinyan. What's the best way to get through this successfully?"

    Zhuang Xinyan had already written it over there and motioned for Hai Fu to read it out.

    Hai Funian said: "The reason why Er Yiniang can be so arrogant today is simply because she has some support. One is Master Hu, and the other is Zhuang's clan. Of the two, the former has a close relationship with her, while the latter is not. It has nothing to do with her. It must have cost her a lot of money to get the clans and even the patriarchs who have nothing to do with her to stand closely on her side. We can also find a way to make them stand on our side. As long as we can bribe the clansmen, Master Hu’s role in presiding over justice will disappear, and this game will be self-defeating.”

    Everyone's eyes lit up. What a trick to 'draw' salary from the bottom of the pot! Yueniang said with a smile, "The eldest young master is still smart."

    The eldest wife nodded with a smile, but then she frowned: "But in this case, I am afraid that the Zong family will use this as a basis to deal with both sides. The second house has the Liu family, a wealthy in-law family, and their strength is not weak. In the end, only Feeding the clan and the others, but it can't solve the problem at all, and we only have three days, so many things are too late to understand, is it too hasty?"

    Zhuang Xinyan was silent for a while, and wrote: "As of now, I can only do my best to pass this hurdle first, and then think of a solution for the future."

    When Qin Tian heard this, her heart moved. She took a step forward and said to the eldest wife, "Ma'am, I have a way of bribing that the clans can't resist. I don't know if it is feasible or not."

    The eldest wife said happily: "What can you do, talk about it?"

    Beside him, Zhuang Xinyan also looked at her with wide eyes, his plain face showed a kind of curiosity. In this way, he looked a little more angry than a young man, and he was no longer as indifferent and arrogant as usual. climb.

    "Madam, if you want these clansmen to really think about the tea shop, there is only one way, that is, after the interests of the tea shop are closely linked with them, whether it is the heir or anything about the tea shop, they will first think of it. Their own interests, without the wife saying, they will also stand on the wife's side"

    Zhuang Xinyan moved his footsteps involuntarily, standing in a place where he could clearly see Qin Tian's mouth, which was directly opposite her. When Qin Tian saw him suddenly come over and stare at him, he felt unnatural for a while, and leaned slightly.

    Zhuang Xinyan frowned and wanted to walk to the side again, but he didn't notice that he bumped into the tail post of the eldest wife's 'bed', and there was a muffled sound, attracting everyone's attention, and Qin Tian also turned his head in confusion. look at him.

    Contacting Qin Tian's dark eyes, Zhuang Xinyan only felt embarrassed, but he deliberately kept his face calm, turned his head without changing his face, and walked back to the desk. Hai Fu didn't understand what he meant, he stood aside and covered his mouth with a smirk.

    Zhuang Xinyan glared at him, reached out and tapped on the rice paper on the case, motioning for Haifu to record Qin Tian's words. ( )

    There was a burning pain in his forehead, but Zhuang Xinyan was afraid that Haifu would laugh at him again, so he just couldn't bear to touch his forehead, still looking as if nothing had happened.

    But the blue veins on the forehead beat uncontrollably because of the pain...

    Over there, the eldest wife saw her son's actions in her eyes, pursed her lips and smirked, and turned her head to look at Qin Tian, ​​"Then how can the interests of the clansmen and the tea shop be closely integrated?"

    "Dry stock" Qin Tian looked at the eldest wife and spit out two words clearly.

    "Dry?" The eldest wife was full of doubts.

    From the response of the eldest wife, Qin Tian knew that there was no such thing as a shareholding system in this world. Qin Tian thought about it and explained: "Madam, when I was at the uncle's house, the uncle used to entertain the passing merchants in the north. I heard them talk about the dry share, and I thought it was 'very' suitable for the current situation of the tea shop. , the so-called dry stock is to allow the clan to receive a certain amount of dividends from the tea shop every year without having to pay the capital. If the tea shop is well run, they will get more money, and if the tea shop is in trouble, their interests will be damaged. Can't get rid of it"

    "Isn't it too cheap for them?" Yueniang was a little unwilling. The eldest wife also frowned, and said nothing.

    "Think about it, madam, if you want to bribe them, the 'spend' is not a small amount, and if they go through this once, I'm afraid there will be troubles again in the future. Since the clan has such an important role, it will be a problem in the future. , it's better to use this once and for all method" Qin Tian said slowly.

    The eldest lady thought for a while, and said, "It's not that I can't bear the money, but I'm just afraid that it's easy to ask the gods to send them away. When they passed away, the eldest wife still had lingering fears when the clansmen were 'forcing' each other tightly.

    Qin Tian knew what she was worried about, so he said, "Madam, this time is different from the past. At that time, the master had just passed away, and the wife's position in the tea shop was unstable. Naturally, she was worried that she would not be able to suppress those clansmen, but now the wife's The status in the tea shop has been deeply ingrained, and others cannot easily shake it, and it is only given to them with money, but they are not allowed to hold real power, so there should be no problem."

    The eldest wife felt that Qin Tian was right, but this was not a trivial matter. She couldn't help but look at Zhuang Xinyan and asked, "Xinyan, what do you think?"

    Zhuang Xinyan had already learned what Qin Tian said from Hai Fu, and was amazed. Seeing his mother's question, he picked up a pen and wrote on the paper: "This method can be tried. Moreover, for so many years, the clan has been treating our house for a long time. Jealous and jealous, and make waves whenever possible, this way, not only can you save a lot of trouble, but you can also get the full support of the clan, which can also be regarded as breaking the bank and eliminating the disaster.”

    After listening to Haifu, Qin Tian smiled and said, "Qin Tian thinks so." After saying that, he looked at Zhuang Xinyan with a smile, and it happened that Zhuang Xinyan also looked at her. As soon as his eyes met her, he turned away lightly, A frosty look. Qin Tian pouted and turned his head.

    The eldest lady saw this scene in her eyes, and a strange feeling suddenly flashed in her heart, but she couldn't catch it for a while.

    After talking for so long, the wife was also a little tired. She looked at Qin Tian and Zhuang Xinyan and said, "Since that's the case, I'll leave this matter to the two of you. Qin Tian, ​​you have to help the eldest young master. I will be very rewarded for doing this.”

    Qin Tian smiled and agreed: "Yes"

    On the other side, Juxiangyuan

    After the second concubine, Zhuang Mingxi and Liu Bijun came back, her anger still remained, and the second concubine patted the table and said angrily, "It looks like it's going to be a success, but I didn't expect that bitch to mess up the situation. After this is over, I'll see how I clean it up. she"

    Zhuang Mingxi sat down beside the second concubine and said slowly, "What's so hard about taking care of a servant? It's this three-day period..." She frowned, "I always think there's something wrong, I'm afraid it's theirs. "Delayed Soldiers"

    "A plan to slow down the army?" The second concubine's expression became tense, she thought about it, and called her confidant, Mama Feng, and instructed: "Mama Feng, find a few people to keep an eye on the Qingyin Academy for me these few days. What do you find? If something is wrong, report it to me immediately"

    Feng's mother took the order.

    The second concubine was silent for a while, then turned her head and gently took Liu Bijun's hand, let her sit beside her, looked at her and said with a smile: "Bijun, this kind of thing happened to you as soon as you got married, it scared you. Xinchuan has taken care of you a lot these days, and I am very grateful to you as a mother-in-law."

    Liu Bijun smiled, "What are you talking about, mother-in-law, serving a 'servant' husband is originally the duty of a 'daughter-in-law'."

    "It's rare that you are so virtuous. Xin Chuan always told me that marrying you was a blessing from a previous life. He said that he would treat you well in this lifetime," said the second concubine again.

    "Husband really said that?" Liu Bijun lowered her head shyly.

    Zhuang Mingxi said with a smile on the side: "I have heard my brother say this more than once, saying that you are not only beautiful as a fairy, gentle as water, but also virtuous and reasonable, dignified and generous. You also told me to learn a lot from my sister-in-law. "

    Liu Bijun was even more happy in her heart.

    Zhuang Mingxi laughed again: "When the elder brother becomes the head of the family, the sister-in-law will be the wife of the house. The two of them sing and sing together, and the husband sings 'women' to follow, and it will become a good story."

    Liu Bijun was overjoyed at the remarks.

    When the second concubine saw that the time was ripe, the topic changed: "It's just...Xinchuan needs more support from you, Bijun, if he wants to win the throne..."

    Liu Bijun immediately understood what she meant, and her smile faded immediately. She grabbed the handkerchief and said, "I have already borrowed 50,000 taels from daddy for this matter. How can I be embarrassed to ask daddy again..."

    Zhuang Mingxi leaned over, held her hand and said softly: "Sister-in-law, think about it, you are also a lady of the family after all, the 'daughter' of the main house, don't you want to be subordinate to others all your life, don't you want to be the wife of the family Just to help my brother pass this level, my brother will remember your benefits for the rest of his life. Marry a 'chicken' and follow a 'chicken'. My sister-in-law thinks about her brother, that is, for her own sake." She said and patted her hand. ( )

    Liu Bijun glanced at them, frowned, and said embarrassingly, "Then how much do you want to borrow?"

    Er Yiniang's eyes lit up, and she stretched out a hand: "borrow another 50,000 taels" and said, "Don't worry, as long as Xinchuan becomes the head of the family, what problems can these 100,000 taels be?"

    "I'll write a letter and send someone to send it back, and there will be results in one day." After Liu Bijun reluctantly agreed, he returned to his yard and wrote the letter.

    After Liu Bijun left, the second concubine said to Zhuang Mingxi: "With this extra 50,000 taels, even if there is some 'conspiracy' at the Qingyin Academy, I will not be afraid. I will send someone to contact the masters of the Zong family, and it will be stable. They will do whatever it takes to pay."

    Because he wanted to discuss the details of the shares, Qin Tian followed Zhuang Xinyan to his Qingsong courtyard after he came out of the eldest wife's courtyard. Time was running short, and they only had one night to negotiate the details.

    After Zhuang Xinyan came to Qingsongyuan, he went directly to his study.

    Zhuang Xinyan's study is very spacious. There is a yellow 'flower' pear-carved 'flower' desk by the window, and tall bookshelves on both walls. Astronomy and geography, arithmetic, the Book of Changes, the Four Books and the Five Classics, everything. It made Qin Tian gasp in amazement. If Zhuang Xinyan had read all these books, it would be amazing.

    Because Qin Tian didn't know how to write traditional characters, Hai Fu also came in to help them communicate.

    Haifu prepared the four treasures of the study as quickly as possible, and Qingliu came in and brought tea and snacks. After a while, Steward Jiang from the accounting room also came. Because the cadres involved the issue of accounts, they needed the assistance of Steward Jiang.

    Qin Tian first explained in detail what cadres are, and then Zhuang Xinyan, with the help of Steward Jiang, worked out the most suitable cadres for the clan.

    Standing by the desk, Qin Tian watched Zhuang Xinyan's slender fingers flying and jumping on the abacus, and was amazed. Seeing him again while calculating and writing records on the paper, sometimes groaning, sometimes frowning, sometimes holding the pen holder hesitantly, sometimes flying the pen, his eyes twinkling, his lips pursed tightly, and his handsome face is serious. Unparalleled, more than ever, has an indescribable attraction.

    Qin Tian wanted to help, but then he thought, as a 'daughter', he already knew too much. If he could even do arithmetic, wouldn't it be too unreasonable? Seeing that Zhuang Xinyan and Jiang Guanshi did "very" smoothly, they did not go forward to show their strength.

    During the period, a maid brought in for dinner, and a few people ate some together. After dinner, the sky gradually darkened, Hai Fu lit a few oil lamps, and the hazy yellow light illuminated the vicinity of the desk, and also dyed Zhuang Xinyan's white robe next to the desk with a hazy layer. luster.

    It was not until the moon was in the middle of the sky that Zhuang Xinyan let Manager Jiang go back. After Jiang Guanshi left, Zhuang Xinyan wrote on the paper: "Are you tired?" He raised his head and looked at Qin Tian, ​​a pair of dark eyes gleaming under the light, lining his 'jade' face. Hair, then flow 'show' a peerless elegance.

    Qin Tian only felt that her heart was thumping 'chaotic' a few times, she hurriedly lowered her head, and thought to herself, 'color' is emptiness, 'color' is emptiness...

    But this time, she didn't despise herself, because anyone facing such a beautiful opposite sex alone would inevitably be flustered and unnatural. Especially someone like her who didn't have many handsome guys around in her previous life...

    She shook her head. She had nothing to do all afternoon, how could she be tired?

    "Then let's continue, the time is tight, and we must get everything in order before dawn, and we have two days left to lobby the clansmen." He wrote on the paper again.

    Qin Tian nodded.

    In the next time, Zhuang Xinyan calculated, Qin Tian analyzed, and helped organize. Qin Tian quickly threw himself into the matter. At first, the two stood across the table. Later, due to communication, Qin Tian walked to the table. On the other side, Zhuang Xinyan didn't know when to go to her side, until Qin Tian raised his head and wanted to call Hai Fu, only to find that they were very close, almost shoulder to shoulder, head to head, Faintly, he could still smell a light masculine breath coming from him. Qin Tian was startled. He was about to step back, but Zhuang Xinyan suddenly raised his head, and the tip of his tall nose almost touched her face.

    The two were stunned at the same time

    Qin Tian stepped back in a hurry, but because he was too impatient, his feet landed on the 'legs' of the table, and his body suddenly lost his balance. When she got to the ground, she was pulling with the other hand but couldn't catch anything. At the critical juncture, Qin Tian only felt a force on her waist. In the next second, she stood on her feet. In Zhuang Xinyan's arms...

    Qin Tian only felt a burning sensation on her face, she raised her head and glanced at Zhuang Xinyan, but saw that he was looking at her, his eyes were like the boundless night, unfathomable.

    The nerves in the waist suddenly became extremely sensitive, so sensitive that she could almost feel the position of every finger he put on her waist, so sensitive that she could feel the temperature of his palm through the thin clothes...

    Dong Dong Dong, don't know whose heart is beating

    Qin Tian pushed Zhuang Xinyan lightly, and Zhuang Xinyan let go of her. Qin Tian took a few deep breaths and calmed down his emotions. He didn't dare to stand beside him again. He walked around the table and stood opposite him. After a while, he returned to calm.

    "Qin Tian, ​​are you alright?" Haifu next to him asked while picking up the oil lamp and putting it on again.

    "I'm fine, thanks to the young master." Qin Tian turned his head slightly and replied with a smile.

    The oil lamp illuminated her face, blushing, and the looming small pear eddies on her cheeks made her smile extra soft and sweet.

    Zhuang Xinyan glanced at her and lowered his head again.

    "You go over there for a while." Zhuang Xinyan wrote this sentence on the paper, and pointed to the couch not far away.

    Qin Tian turned his head and looked at it, then shook his head quickly, "No need." The young master hasn't rested yet, how could she be so embarrassed to rest as a maid?

    "Just go if I tell you, I think you're tired." Hai Fu also said aside.

    Qin Tian took the order and went to sit down on the long couch. She said to herself, I will only sit for a while... But when I sat down, I felt exhausted all over my body and couldn't help lying down again, she said to herself. , I'll just lie down for a while...

    But when she opened her eyes again, the sky was already bright and she stood up in surprise. She turned her head to look, but saw that Zhuang Xinyan was still concentrating at the table, while Hai Fu was squatting and dozing off.

    Ashamed, Qin Tian only felt his face burning hot. She stood up, only to find that she was covered with a thin blanket, which Haifu helped to cover. She folded the blanket, put it on the couch, and walked to the table, only to see Zhuang Xinyan put down his pen, a long He let out a sigh of relief, a sense of relief after completing the task.

    Qin Tian looked at his tired face and felt even more embarrassed.

    Zhuang Xinyan didn't have any special expression when he saw her, he just wrote on the paper: "Have you rested yet?"

    Qin Tian smiled awkwardly and nodded again.

    "After you have rested, go back to freshen up. You will go out with me later, and you will be responsible for lobbying the clan." He wrote again.

    Later? Qin Tian couldn't help but say, "Master, you haven't slept all night, don't you need to rest?" After speaking, he thought that he couldn't hear him and wanted to call Haifu, but he saw that he was sleeping soundly, and when he turned around, he saw Zhuang Xinyan looking at him, Qin Tian had no choice but to make gestures. She pointed at him first, then folded her hands, put them on her cheeks, tilted her head, and made a sleeping position.

    Zhuang Xinyan had long understood what she meant, but seeing her wide-eyed and tilted head was very cute, she couldn't help but wanted to laugh, but she didn't want to show it in front of her, so she forced a smile. He wanted to hold back, until the corners of his mouth cramped, he coughed twice, concealed his embarrassment, and made a "go out" gesture to her.

    It wasn't until she left the 'door' that Zhuang Xinyan raised his head and smiled at the direction she was leaving.

    When Qin Tian returned to the Qingyin Courtyard, he found that someone was sneaking into the courtyard outside the courtyard, and after finding Qin Tian, ​​he pretended to leave as if nothing had happened. Qin Tian looked at her back with a sneer and walked into the Qingyin Academy. Not long after, Zhuang Xinyan reported to the eldest wife about the things he had sorted out after grooming. After getting the approval of the eldest wife, he took Qin Tianhaifu together to avoid the eyes and ears of the second aunt and quietly went out of the 'door' and went to the old house of Zhuang's family in the west of the city. .
