As if to confirm what the buddy said, in the space with poor sound insulation, the voices from the second floor vaguely spread to the first floor, all of which were the voice of Shopkeeper Du scolding the appraiser Jin.

Gu Beizhi frowned, and continued to clean up the ornaments on the museum shelf. He was a little worried about the three people upstairs. Although Storekeeper Du was shrewd, it was a kind of solicitation for him after all.

Just when he wanted to go upstairs to persuade him, Xiao Ding came back with Mr. Zheng. When he came in, he saw Gu Beizhi and his buddy working in silence, and he was a little puzzled. What's the matter?

"Shuisheng, Beizhi, what are you two doing? Why are you cleaning the museum shelves? Where's the shopkeeper?" Xiaoding swept around the store, but didn't see the shopkeeper, and was about to ask, when a faint voice came from upstairs. spread out.

Gu Beizhi didn't know what to say, but the guy pushed Xiao Ding upstairs in a hurry, "Brother Xiao Ding, go up and have a look, the shopkeeper is angry, but it's a big fire!"

Xiaoding still couldn't understand why the shopkeeper was The clue of anger was pushed upstairs. When he thought that Shopkeeper Du hadn't been so angry for a long time, he was also worried. He asked the man to greet Mr. Zheng, and he went upstairs by himself.

Mr. Zheng sat on the side, wondering where his paperweight went, Gu Beizhi talked to Shuisheng, he made a pot of tea and brought it over, "Master Zheng, drink tea."

"Old Gu, my two Where's Fang paperweight?" Mr. Zheng was so full of new paperweights that he didn't want to drink the tea.

"The shopkeeper was afraid that it would be taken care of by other guests when he left it outside, and he would not be able to explain it at that time, so he put it away for the young master, and then took it down and checked it carefully." Gu Beizhi explained.

Zheng Gongzi believed it. The reputation of Bao Yixuan is still very good. Except for the scandal that broke out a while ago, there is almost no bad news.

The scandal a while ago was finally reversed, and Bao Yixuan was known to more people. Now not only Huolu Town, but also branches in other towns have many more customers.

"The guy has already called the shopkeeper. Young master wait a moment."

Master Zheng also saw Xiao Ding go upstairs. Naturally, he believed Gu Beizhi's words at this moment, so he thought about his new paperweight while talking to him. Gu Beizhi chatting.

"Hey, speaking of which, I've also had a headache recently." Master Zheng drank tea and complained to Gu Beizhi.

Gu Beizhi had had several friendships with this Young Master Zheng, but this was the first time he heard his complaints, he paused slightly, "How do you say?"

"Old Gu, do you know about Liu's house?"

"Liu's house? It's our Liu family. Is it the Liu Mansion of the original owner of the street?" Gu Beizhi had heard of the origin of this street, because this street originally belonged to the Liu family, so it was simply called Liujia Street, even though the Liu family sold the land later, the name did not exist. change.

"Yes, yes, this is the Liu Mansion. This time, Bao Yixuan held an activity to identify the true and false Wu Yong, which attracted Liu Yuanwai, the current owner of Liu Mansion, back." Zheng Gongzi's trouble is obviously that Liu Yuanwai took him out. come.

"You came late, I don't know that this member Liu has a hobby, that is, love jade becomes an obsession. Even if he is often cheated, he will not change his habit of spending a lot of money." Master Zheng took a sip of tea, "Why haven't your shopkeepers come yet?"

" Soon, Mr. Zheng will tell Gu about this member of Liu." Gu Beizhi filled him with tea.

"Liu Yuanwai's hobby, almost everyone who knows him knows that the best way to get along with Liu Yuanwai is to send jade."

Zheng Gongzi frowned and said distressedly, "I have many paperweights there. Made of jade, there are not a few in good condition, my father wanted me to choose the best piece for this Liu Yuanwai, and it would be good to have a little more friendship."

"But my paperweights are all treasures. I can't bear to give them to others. I've been looking for a good jade recently, but unfortunately there's no news yet."

Zheng Gongzi sighed, and now he took some money to buy paperweights, and more money for jade I don't know if it will work or not.

"When does Mr. Zheng plan to send jade?" Although they are an antique shop, the owner also has a jade building in Huolu Town, which specializes in selling jade jewelry, so there may be something that Mr. Zheng needs.

"At the beginning of next month, it will be the birthday of Liu's family's son, so it's the most appropriate time to send it." Zheng Gongzi also wanted to let him pay attention, and the information was very detailed.

"Sure, I'll help the son to keep an eye on it." Gu Beizhi also raised his head and glanced upstairs, he was about to have nothing to say to the son of Zheng.

Shopkeeper Du has been comforted by Xiao Ding, Xiao Ding holds the box and follows the shopkeeper downstairs.

Gu Bei knew that he saw it, moved aside, and secretly observed Shopkeeper Du's face. Although he was still a little unhappy, it was no different from usual.

"Young Master Zheng, look, this is a two-party paperweight, please check carefully." Manager Du suggested to Master Zheng with a smile on his face while suppressing his anger.

"Mr. Zheng, that's right, the old man just remembered that our owner was missing a piece of paperweight. He always likes the red color of gold silk jade. Can you sell this paperweight to the old man, and the old man will get 4,000 taels. Bao Yixuan will receive it later. Any good paperweights must be kept for the young master." Manager Du discussed with the young master Zheng, hoping that he could sell this paperweight to him again.

Mr. Zheng refused without hesitation, but Shopkeeper Du increased the price again, but still unwilling, Shopkeeper Du sighed and tried again.

"Master Zheng, this paperweight is really good, but it's not a superb product. Why don't you sell it to this old man? Then you can take back this sapphire paperweight and 6,000 taels of silver, is that possible?"

Zheng Gongzi found that he really wanted to return this paperweight, and always felt a little strange. There seemed to be something wrong. Could it be that this paperweight is some kind of treasure?

But if it is a baby, it will not only sell for 3,000 taels at the beginning.

Mr. Zheng hesitated whether to agree to Shopkeeper Du. After all, giving up the gold silk jade paperweight was equivalent to taking a sapphire paperweight from Baoyixuan.

Just at this time, Jin Dacheng, with a pale face, probed his brain from the second floor, and was discovered by Zheng Gongzi. Zheng Gongzi's businessman's intuition was activated, and he resolutely rejected Shopkeeper Du, and then paid 2,000 taels of silver to take both paperweights away.

Upstairs, Jin Dacheng sat down, sweat dripping from his head, afraid that Shopkeeper Du would peel him off. That's worth thousands of dollars!

But when Manager Du waited for Mr. Zheng to leave, he became less angry and patted Gu Beizhi on the shoulder.

"Beijing, from today onwards, you will be the third appraiser of our Baoyixuan, and I will give you one or two per month, and you will appraise five items for free each month, exceeding the hundred percent of the appraisal items. Pay one-half of the money, and the rest are the same."

Gu Beizhi blushed slightly, "Shopkeeper, this is inappropriate...I couldn't keep the paperweight..."

Shopkeeper Du waved his hand, "It's okay, originally we In this industry, it is normal to buy at a high price and sell at a low price, and to buy at a low price and sell at a high price. Besides, I didn't lose money this time, but I made less money. If you weren't careful, we wouldn't know if we sold it."

Indeed, this The paperweights of the two parties were collected at 1,500 taels, and now they are sold together for 6,000 taels, and the co-authors also made 3,000 taels, and they did not lose money.

It's just that what was supposed to be a treasure of the store, slipped into the hands of Zheng Gongzi in vain, and Shopkeeper Du felt it was a pity.

Of course, he was still dissatisfied with Jin Dacheng. After all, Gu Beizhi's time in the industry was really short, and it took less than a year to complete the calculations, but Jin Dacheng was already a well-known appraiser in Huolu Town.

The newcomers who may have made mistakes did not make mistakes, but the experienced masters overturned the car. It is indeed a tragic comparison, mainly because this mistake should not have been overturned.

As long as Jin Dacheng was more careful in the identification, not to mention the origin of the golden thread jade, it would definitely be possible to see through the old marks of the sapphire paperweight, but Jin Dacheng did not see a single one.

Although the shopkeeper Du was distressed that he slipped away the money, he was even more dissatisfied with Jin Dacheng's perfunctory appraisal of the store. He ordered Jin Dacheng a few words, and asked him to pay attention to it in the future. He was fined half a month's money, and the matter was turned over like this.

Jin Dacheng saw that Storekeeper Du was only a small punishment and a big admonition to him, and repeatedly promised that he would be careful and careful in the future, and then ran back to his appraisal room with his tail between his legs.

Wang Shaoye stayed for a while, and after a few words with Gu Beizhi, he went to the back.

After Gu Beizhi went home, he told Guan Zhou about today's affairs. He didn't go into too much detail, but only said that his monthly money has risen now.

Guan Zhou was very happy, "That's great, we can buy the land earlier!"

After saying that, in order to celebrate Gu Beizhi's increase in wages, he even made egg custard with four eggs and boiled it more. A green vegetable, rice porridge has an extra handful of rice grains.

Because Gu Beizhi was worried about his family's malnutrition, he asked everyone to eat an egg every day.

In the beginning, Guan Zhou was obedient and cooked four hard boiled eggs every day. Later, he became less afraid of Gu Beizhi, and the hard boiled eggs turned into egg custard.

From four eggs to two, because the egg custard needs to be added with water, Guanzhou has more water and less eggs. Adding a little vinegar to the steamed egg custard tastes better than hard-boiled eggs.

Gu Beizhi is not good at cooking, he can only cook rice at most, and he didn't notice that Guan Zhou reduced the amount of eggs.

Seeing the real egg custard with four eggs today, Gu Beizhi felt that something was wrong, but he didn't think much of it when he saw Guan Zhou happily talking about buying land.

"Beijing, will you have two taels of wages next month?" Guan Zhou confirmed again.

When he first heard that Gu Beizhi's salary was as much as one or two, he was very surprised. There were other talents in his village, and their salary was not as much as Gu Beizhi's.

But later he thought that Gu Beizhi was a Linsheng, and the court gave him money. It was normal for him to pay a little more than other labor, so he was not so surprised.

He has only received his salary for two months now, and Gu Beizhi's salary has increased by one or two more. Guan Zhou doesn't even mention his admiration for Gu Beizhi, it's simply amazing.

"Yes." Gu Beizhi replied while eating.

Guan Zhou began to calculate, "Then our family already has three taels of silver, and we can save two or five dollars next month..." Guan Zhou said while looking at Gu Beizhi's expression.

In addition to the one-two-two money-five from the imperial court, Gu Beizhi's monthly income would become three-two-two-money five. After saving two-two-five money, the remaining money to spend was only 750 yuan. Guan Zhou was afraid of Gu Bei. Not happy.

But Gu Beizhi actually felt that it didn't matter. He already knew that the field was Guan Zhou's heart disease, and it was no problem to save some money in order to buy the land.

Guan Zhou felt that spending seven hundred and fifty a month was a lot. Originally, he wanted to save three taels, but he felt that Gu Beizhi would definitely be angry, so he endured his distress and said that he would save two taels or five.

Seeing that he was not angry, Guan Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, and he didn't need to reduce it any more, "...Five dollars, so in August we will have 8 taels of silver. By the end of the year, we might be able to buy three acres of land!"

Gu Bei's well-known land has 20 acres of land that can be exempted from tax, but now Gu Bei's well-known land is not less than 20 acres, but only 15 acres.

These fifteen acres of land were rented like the Niu family, and Gu Beizhi didn't have any land at all.

Originally there were, but firstly, they sold some of them to treat their parents, and secondly, the original owner did not give birth in the past few years, and then he contracted alcoholism, so he sold all of them.

That's why more than half of the 20 acres are rented by others. Originally, the village's rule was that it could only be half at most. Except for Gu Beizhi, all other scholars had only 10 acres of land to 'rent' out.

When Gu Beizhi sold land for drinking, Guan Zhou was not happy, but he couldn't stop Gu Beizhi at the time. Now that Gu Beizhi has changed it, the matter of buying land is naturally on the agenda.

Guan Zhou is particularly looking forward to it now. When next year, they will have their own land. At that time, two acres of land can be grown for grain, and one acre of land can be planted with soybeans, peanuts, etc. Gu Bei knows what he loves to eat.

Gu Beizhi saw that his plan was good, and he did not refute it. He worked hard to save money with him, and strived to realize his wish to buy land as soon as possible.

On this day, Gu Beizhi and Shuisheng were cleaning the museum rack together, and while cleaning, he identified the newly added items. This has become his habit, but it changed when he looked at a Pixiu ornament.

'Type: Carved Pixiu private seal'

'Production time: 50 years'

'Original owner: Liu Yutong'

'Value: 689 taels'

Gu Beizhi was suddenly surprised, is this an upgrade? He found another item that had already been identified and re-identified, and found that there was indeed more of the original owner, and he couldn't help feeling happy.

There was a conjecture in his heart. In order to confirm this conjecture, he specially found a fake product locked in the warehouse, an imitation porcelain bottle, to test whether it was as he thought.

Sure enough, as he thought, the place of the original owner was vacant.

Then he went to find out who was the original owner of the Pixiu ornament, and it should not be considered a cultural relic based on the time. So he asked Xiao Ding to find out how this Pixiu ornament got into the store.

"That one, it was sold by a young man. The shopkeeper thought it was in good condition, so he asked Master Jin to estimate the price." Xiao Ding is the head of the shop's staff. According to the understanding of taking care of Beizhi, he is like the lobby manager.

Gu Beizhi heard that it was Jin Dacheng's appraisal again, and suddenly felt that he didn't want to investigate further. Jin Dacheng is a bit greedy for money. He can usually say that the price is higher and not lower, just to charge a little more for the identification fee.

It had not been long since the golden silk jade was picked up cheaply. Gu Beizhi didn't want to touch Jin Dacheng's brow again. The price of this Pixiu ornament was 1,400 taels, which was not too much.

Gu Beizhi was a little hesitant. Would you like to make it clear that this is not a decoration, but a seal?

He thought about it for a while, and then privately told Shopkeeper Du about it.

The last time Jinsiyu was too late, this time it was intentional to hide it and not report it.

Shopkeeper Du now trusts Gu Beizhi's vision very much, but he won't just listen to one word to determine the result, but take out the ink pad, intending to let Gu Beizhi demonstrate how this ornament becomes a seal.

Gu Beizhi had also researched it in advance, but because he did not dare to try it with ink pad, he was afraid of dyeing it, so he was not too sure.

He also turned over the ornament with a little deciphering mood, held the base in his hand, tilted it at about forty-five degrees, lightly dipped the color in the ink pad, and then landed it on the paper. Spread on paper.

Gu Beizhi carefully looked at the patterns that fell on the paper, then wiped the surface of the Pixiu, and dipped it in the color again. This time, the angle of inclination changed slightly.

When it landed on the paper again, the four characters were clearly displayed, lined up in a straight line, 'Liu Yu Tong Yin'.

The first three characters are closely next to each other, and the last character is slightly separated from the first three characters. It is indeed a seal.

Shopkeeper Du himself tried several times before he mastered the tricks of using seals, "It's a clever idea."

"Yes, it's really clever." Gu Beizhi was also quite novel.

Seeing this, Shopkeeper Du handed the seal to him, "Return to Curry first, and you can study it in the next few days."

Gu Beizhi knew that this was an opportunity to relieve his curiosity, and immediately agreed, "Thank you Du Bo. "

So the place where the seal of the Pixiu was originally placed was replaced with another ornament, a white jade cabbage ornament, which was also the first item that Gu Beizhi identified after he came to Baoyixuan.

Jin Dacheng didn't pay attention to this matter at first, but the white jade cabbage was not small and looked conspicuous. It was bought by a passing businessman on the day it was placed, and then a string of bodhi seed beads was replaced in the same place.

It just so happened that Shuisheng was seen by Jin Dacheng when he was arranging the beads. He glanced at the store and knew all the things he had appraised. He found that there were a few pieces missing. few.

Their appraisal fee, except for the things brought by the guests themselves, ranges from a few hundred cents to dozens of taels, of which 20% goes to the appraiser in charge of the appraisal.

The appraisal of the items in the store is also rich. Except for the free five pieces, the rest will be settled at 1% of the selling price, and the upper limit is one hundred and two pieces.

That is, if you sell one hundred taels, you can earn one tael, one thousand taels are ten taels, and those exceeding ten thousand taels are calculated as ten thousand taels.

That's why Jin Dacheng likes to raise the price. The selling price is high, and they have a lot of income, so why not sell it at a high price?

But Huolu Town is just a small town after all, and the items sold for more than ten thousand taels can be counted on one hand, usually between a dozen to three thousand taels of silver.

Generally, there are thousands of them, not too many. Most of them must have added value, such as those owned by some dignitaries, such as the works of famous literati and so on.

Jin Dacheng calculated the amount of money sold this month, and estimated the amount of money that he could receive when he set off for Yueyin. He couldn't help but feel proud. It seemed that he was the best appraiser in the store again.

In fact, the so-called best is what he pondered by himself, that is, with Wang Shaoye, and now Gu Beizhi, in comparison, whoever has more Moon Silver means who is more capable.

Because Wang Shaoye came to Baoyixuan a few years earlier than him, he always felt that he was being pushed by Wang Shaoye, and now he has recruited a yellow-haired child. Jin Dacheng was very dissatisfied with the partiality of shopkeeper Du.

He felt that Shopkeeper Du's attitude towards Wang Shaoye and Gu Beizhi was too mild, but he was cold to him.

Thinking of the 10,000 taels of paperweight that he missed last time, he felt very uncomfortable, and he rolled his eyes, thinking of a plan.

However, his deposit is insufficient, and he will have to wait until Yueyin's hair is released this time.

"Treasurer, that's not right, am I missing the moon silver this month?" Jin Dacheng recalculated it, and indeed he was missing seven taels of silver.

"No less, two paperweights, one Buddha statue, and one calligraphy and painting. You have only these items sold this month."

Storekeeper Du didn't speak, but the accountant spoke first, but he didn't stand up when he spoke, and even He didn't lift his head, he was very indifferent.

"Huh? No, I remember that there was a black jade Pixiu ornament that was displayed at the beginning, but it disappeared later. Didn't it sell?" Jin Dacheng thought about it.

Shui Sheng was also waiting to receive the money, and said quickly, "It's not sold, it's put away." "Put

it away? Why put it away?!"

Jin Dacheng was particularly dissatisfied. He usually pays attention to the store's layout. After buying a few of his, he had long discovered that Gu Beizhi also had two, but he just made a mistake and didn't dare to ask.

Now that I heard that the Pi Xiu was not sold to be replaced by Gu Beizhi, I became annoyed and questioned.

Manager Du was originally dissatisfied with his so-so state, and told him directly, "Because it's not a decoration at all, but a seal!"

"What?!" Jin Dacheng raised his voice, "Impossible! It's obviously a decoration Shopkeeper, you can't just because..."

"The loud voice doesn't mean it's reasonable, shut up!" The accountant who was paying the bills to the others gave him a headache because of his loud noise, and slapped the table with his golden abacus.

Their accountant is not an ordinary person, but a close friend of the owner. Although the Xu family has a son, although he has long since been released and has become a commoner, he is still loyal to the Xu family.

Therefore, the prestige of Mr. Accountant is similar to that of Shopkeeper Du. Jin Dacheng could only endure his tantrum, but there was still a lot of dissatisfaction in his expression.

Seeing this, Shopkeeper Du asked Gu Beizhi to take out the Pixiu ornaments and demonstrate it in public. When they saw the four characters 'Liu Yutong Seal' on the paper, everyone except Jin Dacheng thought it was strange, but the seal was ingenious.

Who would have thought that the ornaments on the table were actually seals?

Gu Beizhi wiped off the pad on the seal and put it away. Hearing the accountant calling him, he immediately went to collect his own monthly silver.

He was looking forward to it. This month's moon silver should be more than 2 taels. He also sold two identified items, one was a white jade cabbage ornament, and the other was a porcelain vase. Although there were only a few hundred taels, but Also a good income.

Sure enough, after the settlement was over, he could actually receive 13,203,000 coins!

This is so... so good.

Gu Beizhi received the monthly money and was going to take it back and let Guan Zhou buy the land, so that Guan Zhou's wish could be seen immediately.

The corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, and his handsome appearance added a lot of tenderness, which made people unable to take their eyes off.

Jin Dacheng sneered, and said in a low voice, "Poor and sour."

He said very quietly, but he did not escape the ears of Gu Beizhi, who had excellent ears, and raised his eyebrows silently.

It seems that Kim Dae-sung has a lot of opinion on him.

Although he is reluctant to have any conflicts with his colleagues, he is also unwilling to endure it when he encounters such a mistake that he has repeatedly taught himself, and instead blames other colleagues.

"Treasurer, then I'll go back first." Gu Beizhi and the others also said goodbye, taking Yueyin and preparing to go home.

"Go back, have a good rest tomorrow." Shopkeeper Du asked him to go back to rest.

Baoyixuan's time of paying wages is different from other stores. It is neither the beginning of the month nor the end of the month, but the 9th of each month. After the monthly payment, everyone has a day off.

Gu Beizhi also thought it was good. He originally wanted to go shopping at the grocery store to see if he wanted to buy something that the family lacked right now, but thinking of taking a rest tomorrow, he might as well bring his family together.

So he didn't stay any longer and went home directly.

Not long after he left, a woman in a water-red shirt walked and talked with a fat man, and the destination was Bao Yixuan.

"Master, did Wang Juren really accept the eldest young master?" Xu Xiaodie gritted her teeth secretly, thinking that Wang Juren's sudden acceptance of the disciple was very strange and ruined her plan.

Master Liu stroked his half-length beard and was very proud, "Of course, my son is born smart. Wang Juren only took the test three times, so he accepted it and went to him to study for half a day every day."

Xu Xiaodie heard After only going for half a day, I secretly rejoiced, "Master, the eldest young master is so smart, it is a waste of the eldest young master's qualifications to read only half a day of books, why not let the eldest young master go to my father's place to study for half a day in the afternoon?"

"I am also afraid of delaying the eldest young master's qualifications. , I only suggested, sir, my father is also a scholar, and he teaches a lot of students, so it would be good for the eldest young master to listen." Xu Xiaodie encouraged.

Xu Xiaodie couldn't say how beautiful she was, she just said she was Xiaojiabiyu, but her skin was fairer and she liked to wear water red, like a delicate flower.

Master Liu usually likes her quite a bit, but the premise is that he can't touch his precious son.

Hearing her bringing up this bad idea again, she lost her patience, "You are a concubine, trying to interfere in the eldest young master's studies, what is your intention? What if your father is a scholar? The concubine's father is not fit to teach my son!

" I ignored her and walked straight forward. The rest of Xu Xiaodie was shocked. How could the master say that in front of outsiders? !

I think that when he accepted her, the master didn't say that. He clearly said that he would love her and take care of her. Why doesn't it fit?

Her father is a scholar, and it is not ashamed to teach the son of a businessman. Why does the master say that he is not worthy?

Master Liu strode in front of him and found Bao Yixuan closing the door when he walked in front of him, "Huh? What's going on?"

It was Shui Sheng who closed the door. He saw an old man dressed in gold and silver at the door, "Sorry, this guest, we are closed today. Please come back the day after tomorrow."

Shui Sheng pointed to the wooden hanging beside the door frame. On the card, the business hours of Bao Yixuan are clearly written, and Gu Beizhi suggested that this brand be written.

Including if they need to extend or shorten their business hours during holidays, they can write it on the sign, and the customers who come and go can watch the time come.

Mr. Liu stepped forward and took a look, and found that he was indeed late today. Although it was a little unpleasant, he thanked Shuisheng and asked him, "Is there an appraiser in your shop who has a good eye for jade? Shui Sheng was a little confused, "

I don't know which appraiser the master is looking for? There are three appraisers in our shop, one surnamed Wang, one surnamed Jin, and one surnamed Gu."

"That's the one with the surname Gu, Is he very good at identifying jade?" Master Liu asked hurriedly.

"This, I don't know about the little ones. Master Gu never said that he is not good at anything, but the porcelain that Master Gu likes to look at the most..."

Shui Sheng was telling the truth, and he had never heard of Gu Beizhi. I'm good at looking at jade, and I don't know where this old man heard it.

"That's it, then I'll come back another day." Master Liu turned around and left.

Strange, didn't that Young Master Zheng say that Bao Yixuan's appraiser Gu is particularly good at looking at jade? He also said that the two newly received jade paperweights were appraised by the appraiser Gu before he knew what kind of treasure he had received.

Did I remember it wrongly?

While thinking about it, Master Liu walked to the mansion, just as Xu Xiaodie was chasing after him. Seeing him walking back, he thought he was here to coax her, and he was ready to make a little temper.

I saw that Master Liu didn't even look at her, and walked over without looking sideways.

The servants who followed Master Liu saw Xu Xiaodie pouting and pretending to be angry, and they looked at each other and knew what this restless Concubine Xu wanted to do, and laughed out loud.

They are all servants of the main courtyard, and they don't take things like the aunt and the master as seriously.

The only mistress of the Liu family is his wife, and they all know that the more they don't show a good face to their aunt, the more loyal they are to their master's good servant.

Xu Xiaodie's face was flushed with laughter, and she stomped her feet angrily, "What are you laughing at!" The

servants didn't even hear it, so they chased Master Liu back to the mansion, leaving Xu Xiaodie surrounded by Human eyes are shy.

Finally, covering his face, he ran back to Liu Mansion.

Mrs. Liu watched the sweaty husband come in from the outside, her thin crescent eyebrows lightly wrinkled, "Master, why are you sweating? But you are in a hurry?"

Mrs. Liu's voice was like a yellow warbler bird, pleasant to the ear, a pair of beautiful With a worried look in his eyes, he looked at Master Liu.

Master Liu subconsciously raised his chest and tucked his belly, trying to make himself not look so fat, he wiped his sweat.

"I went to Baoyixuan to find that appraiser, but Baoyixuan took a rest today and ran for nothing. When I came back, I remembered that you were waiting for me to have dinner. You walked a little faster, so it's okay.

" Arou, I'll just change my clothes, let the people set the table first, don't starve you." When Master Liu was talking to his wife, he was completely different from Xu Xiaodie.

Whispering softly, for fear that the louder voice would scare the lady, the bulging belly outside was tightly retracted by the lady, and she felt a lot thinner.

Mrs. Liu agreed, knowing that he didn't like to be around when he changed clothes, and asked the maid to help her to the dining room first.

While waiting for Master Liu to change his clothes, Madam Liu's grandmother came in from outside, "Madam, then Concubine Xu is acting as a demon again."

"How to be a demon?" Madam Liu asked casually.

The grandmother told about Xu Xiaodie's encouragement of Master Liu to let the eldest young master go to her father's place for classes, and even the story of Xu Xiaodie being ignored by Master Liu in the end.

Mrs. Liu nodded lightly, "I see, Mother Qin worked hard."

"Madam, you can't be so indulgent with Aunt Xu anymore. If you follow her example and don't have a wife in your heart, wouldn't it be a mess?

" She tried hard to persuade, but Mrs. Liu was always indifferent and didn't seem to take it seriously.

Seeing that she was endless, Mrs. Liu said, "Mother Qin, as long as the master's heart is with me, Aunt Xu is just asking for trouble no matter how much she acts as a demon, why should I care about her, it won't hurt my mood. "

Ma'am..." Qin's mother still wants to persuade him, how can a man's heart be trusted? In the beginning, when Master Liu married his wife, he didn't show his wholeheartedness, but he ended up taking a concubine.

"Madam is right, Mother Qin, please leave." Master Liu changed his clothes. The looser clothes covered his plump body, and he was much cleaner and tidy than going out.

Qin's mother saw that Mr. Liu was coming, and she heard them talking. She was embarrassed and hurriedly left.

The dinner has been set, six dishes and one soup. It looks rich, but if you look closely, it is very plain. The main food is not rice but white porridge.

Master Liu took his wife's hand, sat down together, and ate clear porridge, "Madam, if the people in the West Side Courtyard are dishonest, let's sell it. As for Xu Xiaodie, we will be locked up for a few more months, and let Qin Mommy is going to teach her the rules."

"Okay, listen to the master." Mrs. Liu smiled gently, just like when she married him back then.

Everyone in the Liu Mansion knew that Mrs. Liu was the treasure in the palm of the master's hand. In terms of the level of her treasure, the eldest young master had to be in the back row. Only a brainless person like Xu Xiaodie thought he had a chance to win the favor.

"Does it hurt?"

Guan Zhou nodded, "It hurts, it really hurts! Hehe~"

"Does it still hurt? I'll get you a cold handkerchief and put it on." Gu Beizhi stood up and went to dig well water.

Guan Zhou didn't speak, he held the silver and counted it again, with a very bright smile on his face, "Hehe~"
