When Jia Lian received the agreement sent back by Keqing, he looked at the end and saw the words "Qin Keqing" written in the delicate notebook.

It turned out that Keqing thought for half a day and only signed the two words Qin Shi, hiding his name and not mentioning it. On second thought, if he did not sign his name, it seemed that he was not sincere. After considering Jianmei and Keqing again and again, he finally wrote Keqing.

If it was Jianmei, it would be bad if he misunderstood.

Jia Lian repeated these words in his heart. It was indeed her, it was indeed her!

His efforts were not in vain.

Sister Phoenix saw him holding a piece of paper and laughing for a long time. She had a bad feeling in her heart. She came over and asked,"Brother Lian, what is written on this?”

"It's just a contract," Jia Lian said with a smile. I hired a master painter to design glassware. In the future, if you think of something good, you can tell me. I'll get someone to draw it and we can make it according to the drawing.”

He folded the agreement without batting an eyelid and stuffed it into his clothes.

Sister Phoenix glanced at him for a long time, full of suspicion, but she couldn't find any flaws." Hmph, considering that I'm illiterate, you can lie to me all you want!”

"When have I ever lied to you?" Alright, the old lady can't do without you. In a while, the old woman will come to urge you.”

Feng Jie's eyes were full of joy. Ever since the Old Master was like that, the Eldest Mistress had been taking care of him wholeheartedly. The Old Mistress had also exempted her from paying a visit and would not go to the Old Mistress 'room easily. Feng Jie was now the daughter-in-law of the Eldest household who was in charge of the household. The old and young maids were appointed at will. The entire household was docile and obedient. She was surrounded everywhere and looked majestic.

"Brother Lian, are you blaming me for not accompanying you enough?”Sister Phoenix was as gentle as water." I heard from Xing 'er, the messenger, that there's someone causing trouble at the shop outside? How bold! Tomorrow, I will go borrow a hundred soldiers from uncle and see who is tired of living.”

The trace of warmth that she had just felt was immediately dispersed by the murderous aura.

"I know your uncle is the military governor of the capital." This matter is just because they are jealous of us and want a piece of the pie.”

"Why?" said Sister Feng angrily. No, this is your idea alone. You can't give them even one tael of silver!”

"Alright!" Jia Lian said," There's a saying in the quasi-sage's book,'It's better to have fun with everyone than to have fun alone.'”

Seeing Phoenix Sister's angry look, he quickly explained to her,"I mean, since ancient times, wealth has moved people's hearts. Even if we get a mountain of gold, we can't swallow it all in one go. If we don't want others to covet it, we might as well take the initiative to share some of it with them. Let them fend off other covetous people for us.”

Sister Phoenix understood immediately." Could it be that we threw a meat bone to the dog and let the dog guard the house for us?”

"Ugh!" Jia Lian was speechless at Phoenix Sister's straightforwardness, but he still praised her,""That's right!"

Sister Feng proudly straightened her body, but was pulled out by Jia Lian and spat,"I've only studied for two days and you're already so cultured. If I really become a scholar tomorrow, won't you think that I'm uneducated?”

Where did he learn this word?

Jia Lian held back his laughter and looked left and right." Where is the ink?”

Sister Phoenix's face was flushed red. She was embarrassed and angry." Bad brother, I'm talking to you about serious matters!”

"Feng 'er, there really isn't any ink!" Jia Lian said seriously.”

Sister Feng couldn't help but grab Jia Lian's hand and bite it. "You're laughing at me!"

There is no need to talk about the music of the boudoir in detail.

At this time, only Ping 'er was serving in the room. Su' er and the other two had already left to play by themselves.

Jia Lian was still in a daze.

Sister Phoenix also tilted her head." Are you still thinking about those dogs?”

Jia Lian nodded." This is related to the overall situation. I have to think about it clearly. If I'm not careful and get involved in some conspiracy, it won't be worth it.”

"Didn't you say that glass is making money?" asked Sister Feng doubtfully. Why are you talking about a conspiracy again?"

Jia Lian instructed Ping 'er to fetch water and explained to Sister Feng carefully,""You know, there were two groups of people who went to the shop today. One was those ruffians and the people from the Five Cities Military Department, and the other was Feng Ziying and the others.”

Sister Feng nodded." Yes, those ruffians are used to bullying strangers and have always colluded with the Military Department. One is a good cop and the other is a bad cop. Who knows how much money they extorted." It's all thanks to Feng Ziying and the others. Otherwise, you might have suffered a loss without you!”

"Although everyone says that you're the hero of the make-up team, your hair is long but your knowledge is short. You're just a woman's view…" Jia Lian laughed.

Phoenix Sister's pink face was full of lust, and her fierce aura was revealed. Your hair isn't any shorter than mine. I hate it when men talk about this. What was wrong with the woman? Aren't you born of a woman?"

After saying these two sentences, Phoenix Sister was so embarrassed that she spat again.

Jia Lian pretended not to see it," Those hoodlums are stirring up trouble. It's expected. It's normal for the Military Department to collude with them. However, don't you think that the timing of Feng Ziying's arrival is too coincidental? These people were all silkpants. If it wasn't necessary, they would never appear at the entrance of the directorate in their lifetime. Taking a step back, it might be possible for one or two of them to pass by occasionally, but they didn't go to the brothel to drink and listen to music. Instead, they specially waited beside our shop and happened to catch up with the people from the Military Department. It would be strange if they didn't plan this!”

After a while, Ping 'er came back with a large copper basin to fetch water. Feng Jie was served by her." So, Feng Ziying and the others are deliberately looking for trouble?”

Jia Lian sighed. Right now, there are two groups of people in the Imperial Court who don't see eye to eye with each other. On one side are the founding nobles like us. On the other side were the royal relatives. These people were heavily relied on by the current emperor, especially the loyal and obedient king. His fame and power even surpassed that of the crown prince.”

Sister Phoenix stood in front of the mirror and put on her hairpin. She said,"When I was young, I also heard my father and uncle chatting. It seems that we were close to Prince Yi Zhong in the past, but we didn't know how things ended up.”

Jia Lian began to talk about the secrets of the previous dynasty," I heard from the Old Master that Prince Yi Zhong was the crown prince appointed by the Retired Emperor. It was said that he was suddenly deposed and imprisoned because of a small matter. It was unknown how much fog was hidden inside the palace gates. In short, not long after, the Retired Emperor issued an edict to abdicate, and the current Son of Heaven became the Emperor. When the old King of North Jing was alive, he often spoke ill of him and complained about the injustice of Prince Yizhong. However, he soon passed away and Prince Yi Zhong was forgotten.”

Sister Phoenix widened her eyes and exclaimed softly,"Then that means Prince Yi Zhong was killed?”

"Little ancestor!" Jia Lian quickly covered her mouth." You can only think about these things in your heart. How can you say it out loud?" In short, who cares if they are fighting between immortals? We just have to hide far away and not let ourselves suffer.”

Sister Feng hurriedly nodded, and Jia Lian let go.

"But, Brother Lian, according to what you said, we and Feng Ziying were originally on the same side as Prince Yizhong.”

Sister Phoenix said, giving herself a fright. "No, my uncle is still the military governor of the capital camp. I heard that the emperor is favored. Brother Lian, you must be talking nonsense!”
