The Cannon Fodder and Villain’s Happy Ending

The weather is getting hotter and hotter recently. In ancient times, there were neither air conditioners nor fans. Qin Di didn't dare to go out at all. He stayed in the house most of the time, and didn't bother to go anywhere.

As soon as the weather was hot, Qin Di became lazy and sleepy. He didn't bother to entertain Qin Zhun at all. The first sentence he said was: "Second Uncle, what do you want to sell this time?"

"..." Du Ruo felt that his girl was almost like Chao Feng.

what with what?

! Qin Zhun almost wanted to lift the table. Did she talk to this elder like that?

!

Qin Di didn't care what Qin Zhun thought at all. Anyway, since he came here with "respect and dignity", he would definitely ask for something.

If she didn't get what he wanted, even if she wanted to drive people away, he wouldn't leave.

Qin Zheng really wanted something, and after a few breaths of silence, he directly offered the price: "10,000 taels, I will give you two mountains in Ping County, Longzhou."

After all, he didn't have the face to say "sell".

Qin Ji: "..."

It turns out that my second uncle is so poor that he can't even afford 10,000 taels?

Really poor.

Qin Di sympathized with the other party in his heart for a moment, and asked the price bluntly: "In addition to the mountains, I also want the hot spring village in the suburbs of Beijing."

Qin Zhun: "..."

That hot spring village can sell for 5,000, she is simply extorting!

Qin Zhun's forehead twitched, and he really wanted to strangle her to death. It was really raised by a little woman.

Qin Zhun also knew that after what happened last time, this time he was like sending him to the door and asking Qin Di to kill him again. The problem was that he was really anxious to use the money.

Fang Cai Qin Xin came to the Hou Mansion to look for him, saying that Duke Cheng'en had managed to find a need for him in Taipu Si Shaoqing, but he was just one step away, and he implied that he wanted silver to deal with it.

He has been waiting for the job of Taipusi Shaoqing for a long time. If he can get it, he can go a step further in his career. Within three years, he will be promoted to Taipusi Shaoqing and ranked among Xiaojiuqing.

Qin Di babbled on the side with sarcastic words: "Second uncle, does your grandmother know that you are here this time?"

"Hey, you've sold property over and over again. Fortunately, you sold it to me. Otherwise, you wouldn't know how others would kill you."

She has a hard-hearted look, as if she is an elder and Qin Zhun is a junior.

"..." Qin Zhun's eyes twitched.

She still has the face to say that no one is ruthless when it comes to bargaining!

But no matter what he is for, changing the property is changing the property. He really doesn't dare to sell it to others, and he doesn't dare to let Mrs. Qin Tai know about it.

The vacancy of Shaoqing in Taipusi was too tempting for him. If he missed this time, I'm afraid he wouldn't have a chance in a few years. It was far from a hot spring village that could compare to it.

Qin Zhun gritted his teeth and instructed the servant, "Go get the deed paper."

Qin Di felt that it was a pleasure to do business with his second uncle, which made her feel that even the sultry weather was not so disgusting. She wished that her second uncle was dizzy from the sun, so she came to give her a few more silver coins.

After that, Qin Di was already very proficient in the process. He sent someone to Jingzhao Mansion to prepare the case, and then he readily gave Qin Zhun 10,000 taels of silver notes.

"Second uncle, if you want to sell anything next time, remember to come find me again."

Qin Di happily waved the deed paper and bid farewell to Qin Zhun.

Qin Zhun, who was outside the hall, didn't step on his feet firmly, his feet staggered, and he almost fell off the steps. He secretly swore in his heart: Bad luck, he won't come even if he was beaten to death.

Qin Zhun walked with firm steps, ambitious.

However, the 10,000 taels of silver were spent like flowing water, and he still hadn't received his errand. In a few days, Qin Xin came to the door again, this time asking for more silver than last time: "Father, the second prince is there. And thirty thousand taels of silver."

Qin Xin said it gently and skillfully, but Qin Zhun felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, and his heart was cold.

He has already felt that the hole on the second prince's side is not filled up.

In the past two years or so, he has filled the second prince with a total of 400,000 taels, but just like this, the second prince is not enough. It is conceivable that there will be more in the future, more...

Qin Zhun began to regret a little, he couldn't help thinking, if he hadn't been in a hurry to choose the second prince, would it not be like this now...

At this moment, Qin Zhun felt a little resentment on Qin Xin. If it wasn't for Qin Xin getting on the second prince, he would be so anxious!

Qin Xin didn't know what Qin Zhun was thinking at all, just thought he was distressed for Yinzi, and persuaded in a good voice: "Father, if you want to get something, you have to give something.

When His Royal Highness returns to Beijing in triumph, the situation will turn dark and bright! I only received the letter from the second prince two days ago, and there are good news from Jinzhou..."

What Qin Xin said, Qin Zhun didn't listen at all. He knew that he had already boarded the second prince's boat and spent most of his family's wealth, so he could no longer get off.

His fate has been tied to the second prince, and both are prosperous.

But where else could he raise the 30,000?

! If I go to Qin Di again, I will definitely be beaten by her again.

Qin Zhun: "..."

Qin Zhun began to squeeze his brains, where else could he get silver.

Seeing that he still didn't speak, Qin Xin showed a hint of impatience in his tone, and said, "Father, the second prince is in a hurry, saying that it is a hundred thousand in a hurry."

She tried to use the second prince to suppress Qin Zhun.

How could Qin Zhun not see Qin Xin's careful thinking, and in the end he didn't accept it directly. He only said "I know" and let Qin Xin go away.

Qin Zhun was exhausted and had no energy to think about why the second prince who was far away in Jinzhou needed so much money. He hesitated, hesitated, and considered.

He dragged on for two more days. Qin Xin went to the door every day for the past two days. Qin Zhun really had no choice. On July 24th, he went to the Qin Mansion again. of two banks.

Once Qin Zhun was sent away again, Qin Di's face lit up, and he happily read the deeds again and again, feeling that his business was a huge profit!

"Third sister, you are really..." Qin Zeyu wanted to say that his sister is really a money fan, but when the words came to his mouth, he changed it abruptly, "Smart!"

"That is!"

While boasting, Qin Di put the deeds in the same wooden box solemnly. In the past few days, the deeds that Qin Zhun himself delivered to the door were half in the boxes.

In Qin Di's eyes, these deeds are simply invaluable assets!

When she closed the box, she casually asked Qin Zeyu, "Ayu, is our Qin family so rich?"

When the family was separated, they had received 70% of the property in the long house. Qin Di already felt a lot. She really didn't expect that Qin Zhun would be able to sell so many things.

Qin Di was also present when the family was separated. She clearly remembered that Qin Zhun had to use the three business houses in Minzhou at that time. For this reason, a large amount of land was converted to the long house. However, these two banks were originally It wasn't even mentioned when they split up.

"Of course!"

Qin Zeyu nodded vigorously, a pair of eyes similar to Qin Di's twinkling.

If his sister asked anything else, he might not be able to answer, but he still knew a little about his own affairs.

"Our Qin family was a salt merchant in the previous dynasty..." Qin Zeyu rarely had the opportunity to tell people about his family's fortune history, especially when his sister asked him for advice.

Their ancestral home of the Qin family was in the south of the Yangtze River, and they had been salt merchants for several generations in the previous dynasty. Salt was a profitable business, and the Qin family was also a well-known wealthy merchant in the south of the Yangtze River in the previous dynasty.

If you have money, you want power, but according to the laws of the previous dynasty, businessmen were inferior and were not allowed to participate in the imperial examinations.

In the last years of the previous dynasty, when the world was in turmoil, Emperor Taizu rose up and responded with a hundred responses. Qin Minzhong, the ancestor of the Qin family, scattered his family property and bet on Emperor Taizu.

When Emperor Taizu established the Daqi Dynasty, he not only conferred rewards to the Qin family, but also awarded Qin Minzhong the title of Marquis of Zhongyi, which will not be lowered for generations.

After the founding of the Daqi Dynasty, the national policy of emphasizing literature and neglecting military affairs was implemented, and it was stipulated that merchants could also participate in imperial examinations. Therefore, the Qin family and other high-ranking officials of the clan were not ashamed of doing business. The Qin family was good at doing business. Faster, if it wasn't for being raided 14 years ago, the Qin family would have been able to go up to another level at least.

Qin Di listened thoughtfully and understood.

It's no wonder that the old Houye has such a vicious vision. After going to Minzhou for a few years in exile, he knew that after he ascended the throne today, he would open a commercial bank in Minzhou to do maritime trade.

No wonder, no wonder!

However, why did she feel that her grandfather's shrewdness was not passed on to Qin Zhun, Qin Zening and Qin Zeyu?

!

Qin Di looked at the bear boy with disgusting eyes, wondering if he should find someone to teach him math and business, lest he learn from his uncle to sell property cheaply in the future.

Qin Zeyu felt uncomfortable when his sister saw him, and said to himself: He's been very good recently?

...except for accidentally smashing the glazed window while playing polo, I didn't make a mistake!

Qin Zeyu reflected in his heart and continued: "However, I don't know how much money and property this family has.

No one has told me, probably not even my eldest brother. "

Having said this, Qin Zeyu also realized that the second uncle was afraid that he was deliberately hiding it from them, not letting him and his eldest brother have access to the family's property, lest they compete with him for the family's property.

If it wasn't for the presence of third brother Gu when the family split up before, and asked them 70% of the family business, they were smeared at that time, and the loss would have been huge.

Third brother Gu would help them like this, of course, for his sister's sake... Even, for the sake of his sister's wedding ceremony, he ran all the way from Minzhou, which is simply a lover!

Qin Zeyu looked at Qin Di up and down while thinking, with a subtle expression.

At this moment, Qin Di was wearing a blue-colored embroidered green-bamboo sur skirt, with only a loose blue silk comb on his head, and no jewelry except for a plum blossom hosta on his head, leaning against the back of the chair while sitting or not.

A certain question popped into Qin Zeyu's mind for some unknown number of times: Where did Brother Gu fall in love with his sister?

!

Qin Di saw the bear boy staring at him all the time, thinking that there was something on his mouth, subconsciously raised his hand and touched the corner of his mouth, but found that the corner of his mouth was clean.

She raised her hand over Xiao Fangji, who was between the two, and patted Qin Zeyu's head, "Why are you in a daze?"

Of course Qin Zeyu wasn't stupid enough to tell the truth, and perfunctorily found a reason: "I'm wondering if the second uncle will come again."

Qin Di said, "Probably not."

She couldn't help sighing in her heart: What a pity!

"What a pity!"

Qin Zeyu sighed in a consonant heart.

Du Ruo: "..."

Just as Qin Di had guessed, Qin Zhun did not come back.

Qin Di felt a little regretful in her heart: she welcomed Qin Zhun very much, and she really wanted to take the opportunity to buy more. It was like the year-end clearance, so you can't miss it when you pass by!

Qin Zhun didn't come to the house anymore, and Qin Di was free again. It happened to be a few days of cloudy and rainy days, and the weather was much cooler, so Yun Jiao Niang invited her to go out to play, and the two walked and played in the capital.

Qin Di felt that Yun Jiao Niang played more than the two brothers at home. The restaurants, tea houses, jewelry shops, cloth shops, etc. she took her to all had their own characteristics.

After playing all over the capital, they went out to the capital to walk their horses and strolled around Cuiwei Mountain. They spent most of the day. They didn't return to Beijing until the afternoon. From a distance, they could see a commotion at the Nancheng Gate.

The two of them looked at each other, slowed down the horse, stopped behind a carriage, and looked forward.

Outside the city gate, a convoy of seven or eight carriages was preparing to enter the city. The two-horse and golden awning carriage at the front was very luxurious. Next to the carriage was a blue-robed boy riding a white horse, fanning a folding fan leisurely. Expensive.

The convoy was accompanied by at least twenty tall and mighty guards. These guards were rudely driving the surrounding people who were waiting in line to enter the city in front of the carriage:

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

"Didn't you see that our son is going to the city?

The idle people are waiting to avoid quickly! "

"..."

The guards threw their whips to chase people away.

When the ordinary people saw that this group of people was dressed in extraordinary clothes and arrogant, they knew that their master must be a noble family. Let this team go first.

Qin Di and Yun Jiao Niang also gathered a lot of businessmen and passers-by who had just arrived near the city gate, all pointing at the group in front of them:

"Who is this, how arrogant?"

"Ghost knows! But it doesn't matter if you look at the city gate guards, it must be some kind of prince."

"Is there still a few princes and princes in Beijing?

Never seen anything like this! "

"..."

Those passers-by whispered whispering to each other, guessing the identity of the blue-robed son.

Soon, the guards cleared a path, and the square-faced chief guard rode his horse to the blue-robed son and the first carriage, clasped his fists and said, "Third Master, the county master, you can enter the city."

The next moment, I saw a fair-skinned hand slightly open the corner of the curtain of the carriage. From Qin Di and Yun Jiao Niang's point of view, they couldn't see each other's appearance at all, only the fingertips were dyed with red Kodan. Gorgeous outside.

The driver of the first carriage, waving his whip, began to enter the city, and the following carriages slowly followed.

"The princess?"

Qin Di murmured softly, thinking to himself: The county master of the capital said that there is not much, but not much.

Yun Jiao Niang also heard it, and muttered, "I don't know which county owner it is, with such a big style.

What are you proud of, princesses and princesses don't have such a big air! "

Yun Jiao Niang just murmured casually, and said that, anyway, the different ways are not conspiratorial, and she "can't afford to climb high" like this kind of county owner.

The carriage in front started to move, and Qin Di and Yun Jiaoniang also slowly paced their horses to keep up, heading towards the city.

"Xiao Ji," Yun Jiao Niang thought of something, and suggested enthusiastically, "Shuangyan Garden is about to have a new play. In five days, how about we go to the play together?"

Qin Di shook his head: "Not that day."

Yun Jiao Niang: "?"

Qin Di said with a smile: "My eldest brother and the others are coming back that day. I'm going to pick them up and have refreshments another day."

Yun Jiao Niang blinked clearly, "I also heard what my elder brother said, a great victory in Minzhou.

So they came back that day. "

A playful light flashed in Yun Jiao Niang's eyes, and the corners of her lips curled up.

Qin Di smiled and said "um", feeling very happy.

Big brother came back earlier than expected.

Yun Jiao Niang rode her horse and took another step to Qin Di's side, pressed her elbow against her arm, and said jokingly, "Are you really going to pick up your elder brother?

I see that you are a drunkard, not drinking! "

This girl is not going to pick up Qin Zening, but the Prince of Chen County.

Yun Jiao Niang winked at Qin Di, her eyes and mouth curved into crescents.

"Of course."

Qin Di nodded confidently.

Her big brother includes two people!

Yun Jiao Niang felt that Qin Di was a dead duck with a stubborn mouth, and she laughed uncontrollably, and said, "Since you are going to pick up people, you must quickly book a restaurant near the city gate. On the day when the army returns to Beijing in triumph, there must be a lot of people. will see."

Qin Di blinked, "Will there be so many people watching?"

Yun Jiao Niang looked at Qin Di with a look of "you are naive", "Do you know how lively it was when the top three of the imperial examination were paraded through the streets last time?

All the restaurants and teahouses on the streets they passed by were booked, and the seats were full! Even some shops have temporarily set up some tables and chairs to serve as tea houses, so there are still many people who have not reserved seats. "

Qin Ji: "..."

Qin Di didn't have this awareness at all, so he didn't make a reservation at all. According to Yun Jiao Niang, the restaurant and teahouse near Nancheng Gate might have been booked long ago.

Yun Jiao Niang smiled and patted her chest: "It's okay, I'm here!"

"The Yunwei Restaurant on South Street is my family's property. My family's restaurant will always reserve a seat for my family. I'll keep it for you."

As she spoke, she pointed to the inside of the city gate.

The two of them were talking to themselves, completely oblivious to the movement of a carriage in front of them.

The curtain on the right side of the carriage was lifted by a corner, and a pair of beautiful eyes, like a pair of autumn water, glanced in the direction of Qin Di and Yun Jiaoniang, and then withdrew their eyes.

"Victory in Minzhou..." The girl's voice was as quiet as water, with a bit of lingering and a bit of tact.

"Girl," another voice whispered, "Isn't the person who returned to Beijing triumphantly, the third son of Gu?"

"..."

"Girl, when you settle down later, the slaves will go to inquire about the news."

"Um."

As the word fell, the curtains blocked the carriage again, and the carriage followed the carriages in front of it and entered the city.

Qin Di also talked and laughed with Yun Jiao Niang and rode into the city, and soon parted ways with the team and went to their respective places.

After Qin Di returned to the mansion, on the same day, Yun Jiao Niang asked the steward to come over and say that the seat was reserved. In the "Lanxiang Room", the elegant seat on the second floor of Yunwei Restaurant, she also gave a sign of Kelan.

In the next few days, the good news of the victory in Minzhou spread in Beijing. The topic of discussion in the streets and alleys revolved around the victory in Minzhou. Beijing was as lively as the Chinese New Year.

One by one, the people felt that Daqi was thriving. First, in the first half of the year, Yu Fuyun won the three cities of Beiyan, forcing Beiyan to cede land and pay indemnity.

This lively atmosphere continued until August 29, the day when the army returned to Beijing in triumph.

Early in the morning, Qin Di went out with Qin Zeyu and went directly to Yunwei Restaurant. Yun Jiao Niang kept a "Lanxiang Room" for Qin Di's sister and brother, and a "Bamboo Fragrance Room" for herself.

The Yunwei Restaurant was as full as Yun Jiaoniang had said before. There were at least five or six people crowded at a table in the lobby on the first floor, and the streets outside were also full of darkness, all of whom came to greet the soldiers spontaneously.

Qin Di and Qin Zeyu had just had a sip of tea when they heard a commotion from the street outside:

"I'm coming!"

"People are already outside the city gate!"

"I heard that today is the Prince of Chen County, who is being picked up by the Sixth Prince Daijun out of the city."

"..."

There was a lot of people outside the restaurant, Qin Di and Qin Zeyu both stretched their necks to look in the direction of the city gate. Unfortunately, from their perspective, they couldn't see anyone at all, and they only vaguely heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from outside the city.

Looking at the people below who were eagerly waiting, Qin Zeyu said suddenly and confidently: "Sister, don't worry, you will still have a chance in the future!"

Qin Zeyu is very confident in himself. He has been stared at by his sister for so long in his homework, and he will definitely be impressive. Wenneng can govern the country, and Wuneng can make peace. He will definitely be the one who will go to the city next time.

Qin Ji: "?"

"Ayu!"

At this time, a few familiar faces stretched out from the elegant seat of the restaurant opposite and waved directly to Qin Zeyu, hooking Qin Zeyu's soul away.

"Sister, I'll be back when I go."

Before Qin Zeyu finished speaking, he ran away.

At the same time, the streets became more and more lively, excited shouts rang out one after another, and those people boiled like boiling water.

The thunder-like sound of hoofs approached, and the ground seemed to be shaking.

In a matter of seconds, a group of soldiers in bronze helmets and iron armor rode their horses into the city gate, all of them tall, mighty and majestic, and the people on the roadside burst into a burst of enthusiastic cheers.

At the front of the team was a young man in silver armor. He had a handsome face, a warm temperament, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his black hair like a crow's feather was tied high with a silver crown. The silver armor formed a sharp contrast, a long sword with a silver sheath hung on the waist, and the frost-colored cloak on the body flew in the wind.

Under the golden sunlight, his armor reflected a dazzling silver light, handsome and noble, unlike ordinary people, so that everyone's eyes fell on him.

Gu Zezhi finally came back.

Qin Di looked at him from a distance with a smile on his lips.

"This is the Duke of Chenjun!"

In the elegant seat next door, I don't know who sighed with emotion.

Another girl asked eagerly: "Sister, where are the flowers?

Where are my flowers? "

"Oh, the flower basket is still in the carriage, I'll go get it now!"

The sound of hurried footsteps came from the elegant seat next door, and Yun Jiao Niang, who happened to have just entered, also heard it and said with a chuckle, "The next door is really a sloppy ghost!"

But the conversation next door also reminded Yun Jiao Niang, she quickly asked: "Xiao Ji, are you ready to spend?"

"flower?"

Qin Di looked at Yun Jiao Niang with a question mark on her face.

Yun Jiao Niang didn't care to answer, and hurriedly ordered the maid to find some flowers from the buddies.

There is no need for Yun Jiaoniang to explain. The people outside have answered Qin Di's questions with practical actions. Those women and girls all excitedly threw out the flowers in their hands, and the flowers rained down the street. The soldiers fell, and some fruits, handkerchiefs and sachets were mixed among them.

Looking at this scene, Qin Di couldn't help but think of a sentence depicting the beautiful man Pan An: "Anren is the most beautiful, every line, the old woman threw it full of fruit."

Qin Di couldn't help but laughed, looking at Gu Zezhi below without blinking.

Huh?

!

Qin Di suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly, and noticed that so many flowers and sachets were thrown at Gu Zezhi, but he didn't touch any leaves. Occasionally, a flower almost wiped his cloak, and the horse's tail gave him an understatement. The tail flicked out.

Qin Di seemed to have discovered some secret, and laughed even more, his heart was full of joy, and his eyes were full of laughter.

In the midst of the noise, Gu Zezhi below seemed to have sensed it, raised his eyes slightly, his eyes just collided with Qin Di who was at the window, and his eyes were facing each other.
