When the man saw Ling Fengqi, although he couldn't stand still, he still managed to maintain his figure, and bowed to Ling Fengqi:

"I've seen the Young Master."

"Why are you so early in the morning and drunk?" Ling Fengqi's face was neither angry nor blamed, but worried and patient, "Mr. Mei, please pay attention to your health."

"No, it's okay!" That Mr. Mei waved his hands with a smile, and then strayed from them and walked unsteadily towards the village.

Qiao Rongyu asked curiously: "I wonder who this is?"

"Oh, this is the accountant of our village." Ling Fengqi explained with a smile, "My surname is Mei, and his name is Zihe. He is intoxicated in Huajie Liuxiang all day long, and he likes to drink, so he gets drunk every day."

"How can such a person settle accounts?" Qiao Songyu couldn't help asking.

"Young Master Wang is wrong." The smile on the corners of Ling Fengqi's lips grew stronger, "Although Mr. Mei is drunk every day, he is good at settling accounts. The daily entry and exit of Tianyu Villa, as well as the villaHe has calculated so many wine shops, hotels, and land properties carefully without any mistakes. He has managed five or six counting houses of other people's houses by himself. Since he came a year ago, the business of our Tianyu Mountain VillaIt is flourishing and prosperous, so I respect him very much, he likes drinking, loves Geisha Legie, and so on, so I let him go."

"There is such a strange person." Qiao Rongyu sighed, and couldn't help but look back at Mei Zihe, and enviously said to Ling Fengqi, "It would be great if I had such an accountant."

Ling Fengqi smiled and said: "Brother Wang looks like this, the business at home must be booming, there must be a strange person behind it, why should you envy us!"

Qiao Songyu looked at her elder brother's appearance, and felt that his smiling face was talking like a tiger's face, and she might be thinking about digging this plum crane back to be the accountant of their Qiao family...

The three of them had lunch with Ling Fengqi in the village, and asked Ling Fengqi for ten altars of last year's daughter Hong, six altars within five years, and four altars within ten years. They paid a deposit of fifty taels first.It was agreed that they would come to Tianyu Villa one day before they set off on the ship and pay the money with one hand and the wine with the other hand.Ling Fengqi chatted with the three of them very speculatively, and felt that the three of them were happy to give money, so he specially gave away a jar of five-year-old daughter Hong.When the three of them came out, he personally escorted them to the door.

The three of them also had a good impression of Ling Fengqi. On the way back, Qiao Rongyu sat in the carriage and said to Pei Rongbai and Qiao Songyu, "I see that Ling Fengqi is sincere and generous, not like a hypocritical and treacherous little girl."people."

"Yeah." Pei Rongbai nodded in agreement, and then said, "But his father doesn't know why he has closed the door for many years to thank guests? Moreover, Hong Ji, the leader of the Japanese pirates, seems to have special feelings for Tianyu Villa.Yushanzhuang is a bit weird."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Songyu became interested in gossip again, and asked, "Why do you think Hong Ji has special feelings for Tianyu Villa?"

"Because if there is any enmity with Tianyu Villa, it must be with someone in the villa. Whether it is the owner of the villa or Lingfengqi, with Hongji's ability to enter the villa without being caught, sheWhy don't you just kill them?" Pei Rongbai asked back, seeing Qiao Songyu's thoughtful face, he said, "It's nothing more than stealing wine, and smashing the wine shows that her feelings for Tianyu Villa are nothingOkay, Song Er said yes or not?"

"Well, what you said makes sense." Qiao Songyu nodded, "So maybe this Hong Ji hates Tianyu Villa, but the degree of hatred is not enough to kill someone, right?"

"Exactly." Pei Rongbai affirmed.

Qiao Rongyu had been watching the scenery outside the carriage while listening to the conversation between the couple. Hearing this, she couldn't help interjecting: "I think that Mr. Mei is also quite intriguing."

After hearing this, Qiao Songyu couldn't help asking: "Brother, are you thinking of poaching him to Qiao's house to be the accountant?"

Pei Rongbai laughed at the side - he also thought so just now.

Qiao Rongyu raised her eyebrows, and said dissatisfiedly: "I think he is such an unscrupulous person?"

"Aren't you?" Qiao Songyu disapproved.

"Little cry, you're looking for a beating—" Qiao Rongyu was about to strike as he said that, but Qiao Songyu was so frightened that he quickly hid behind Pei Rongbai:

"Ahhh, big brother is going to flick my forehead again!!!"

Pei Rongbai hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop Qiao Rongyu, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, Song'er is right, I think so too."

Qiao Rongyu looked at him: "Who am I here to help this time? Do you know if you put it nicely?"

"Isn't it nice to 'poach the wall by any means'?" Pei Rongbai raised his eyebrows.

Qiao Rongyu: ...

This man is too thick-skinned to communicate with him.

"But to be honest, this Mei Zihe is addicted to debauchery, but has all the skills in bookkeeping, so it can be seen that this person is also an extraordinary person." Pei Rongbai said seriously, "And this person, I always feel a little familiar."

"Are you familiar with this?" Qiao Rongyu didn't quite believe it, and said with a funny face, "Forget it, let's go back to the inn first."

Qiao Songyu also opened the curtain of the carriage and looked at the street outside. He saw people coming and going in the street, bustling with people, not only people from his own country, but also many foreigners, including red-haired and dark-skinned businessmen from the Western Regions, andThe people from Fusang and Silla who looked the same as the natives but dressed differently, and there were many things for sale at the market stalls that he had never seen before.

Seeing that he was watching with relish, Pei Rongbai asked: "Song'er, do you want to go down and have a look? Watching in the carriage is not enjoyable after all."

"Can you really go down and see?" Qiao Songyu asked in surprise.

"Yeah." Pei Rongbai actually wanted to go down and have a look, "It's just that you are not allowed to wander around, and you need to follow me closely."

"Okay!" Qiao Songyu was so excited that she naturally agreed to everything.

But Qiao Rongyu said: "In this case, you two go for a stroll, and I will contact the merchant ship entering the sea."

"That's fine." Anyway, contacting a merchant ship is easy for Qiao Rongyu, and it's boring, so there's no need for him and Qiao Songyu to follow.

"That's it, let's part here. After half an hour, the carriage and I will wait for you here." Qiao Rongyu said, still a little worried, afraid that Pei Rongbai could do well in the officialdom, but he had no experience in this kind of place with all kinds of teachings.Therefore, he ordered, "As the old saying goes, if you don't show your wealth, don't talk to strangers, and don't go to strange and remote places."

Pei Rongbai couldn't help feeling amused, and while protecting Qiao Songyu from the carriage, he teased: "Don't worry, brother-in-law, I won't sell your brother."

"Be careful that you are being betrayed." Qiao Rongyu spat angrily and amusedly.
