Chapter 7 Holding Power

Leng Shuang studied martial arts outside all year round and visited various major schools. She spoke either without saying anything or was straightforward. Therefore, when Qin Yunuan was still slightly stunned, Leng Shuang looked at Man's back and said, "It looks quite good. No wonder my brother is so careful."

Leng Shuang's brother Leng Wu had been responsible for Qin Yu's safety before Leng Shuang came. It was understandable that he could have an intersection with Man Er, but listening to Leng Shuang's tone, it seemed that Leng Wu was interested in Man Er for a day or two.

"Your brother...?" Qin Yunuan tasted the sweet and delicious mung bean soup slowly and deliberately lengthened her tone.

"My brother?" It's rare for Leng Shuang to say so many words, "Although my brother is only a close guard of General Leng, he is also an official. The six-grade bodyguard with a knife should be worthy of your maidservant."

Suddenly, Qin Yunuan swallowed the mung bean soup in her mouth, which was not worthy of it. It was simply called a high climb.

Qin Yunuan never thought that Leng Wu also had an official position. She always thought that Leng Wu was just the best of the 18 shadow guards around Leng Changxi, so just when Qin Yuann was not yet graded, a six-grade official in the court was sent by her at will, protecting her for 12 hours a day. All?

For the "straight" problem of cold frost, Qin Yunuan chose to skillfully bring it. In a short time, he arrived at the gate of the Ningwang Mansion. As soon as the little man at the door saw that it was the third young lady's carriage, he attentively came to help lead the rein and end the wooden steps.

After a few steps, she saw the Qingzhu beside Princess Ning welcome her: "The third young lady is back. Coincidentally, the princess has prepared good wine and dishes in the evening. Tonight, the prince went out of the house as a guest. The princess thought it was not pleasant to eat alone, so she invited the third young lady and the third young master to go there together."

Princes Ning likes the most lively family, which is known by everyone in Ning's Mansion, but this invitation, Qin Yunuan always felt that there was something else behind it, but when she heard that Leng Changxi also went together, those uneasy emotions also seemed to convervene a little.

When Qin Yunuan arrived at Muweiju, there were already two rows of maidservants waiting to be dispatched at any time outside the house. The first dish had just been served. It was a beef with eggplant sauce. Leng Changxi's favorite beef. This dish was also a delicacy that Leng Changxi would never get tired of.

"Yo, this is the third brother-in-law." In the room, a young voice like a bell rang directly hit Qin Yunuan's eardrums. As soon as I heard this sound, I could hear it as my sister-in-law Ruan Ruyi. Thinking that Qin Yunuan refused Ruyi's request at noon yesterday, but now Ruan Ruyi's voice sounded without any blame or dislike. Qin Yunuan frowned slightly. The little maid guarding the door lifted the green curtain to let Qin Yuwen in. As soon as she entered the room, Qin Yunuan regained a gentle and peaceful smile.

"It turns out that her sister-in-law is also here," Qin Yunuan saw Ruyi, who was clinging to her body and refused to spread her, and then turned her head away, "Aunt Tang is also here."

Aunt Tang was silent and just nodded. Instead, she looked like an elder, which was completely different from the flattering appearance yesterday morning.

Princess Ning sat in the right seat, with a set of exquisite silver tableware in front of her. From chopsticks to spoons, even a set of more than 100 tools specially prepared for eating hairy crabs today are made of all-silver, and the handle is also engraved with small lifelike plum blossoms, hollow The shape is very three-dimensional and beautiful.

Aunt Tang used to be very envious of this package, but unfortunately, this is the unique tableware specially found by King Ning for Princess Ning. She can only envy it for nothing. Who said she is his wife? She is just a concubine. Usually, only listens to the words of the main room, but today...

Aunt Tang turned her head and looked at Qin Yunuan. Now Leng Changxi hasn't come yet. Looking at Qin Yunuan's slender eyebrows and beautiful appearance, she should also be a common girl who can't stand up in her bones. As Aunt Tang thought like this, she opened her mouth without hid: "The prince is not in the house tonight. I thought that my sister is lonely to eat alone, so I took Ru I don't want to accompany you. You are busy outside all day, and I don't know what you are doing.

Qin Yunuan did not tell Princess Ning in advance when she went out this time, just because Leng Changxi directly gave Qin Yunuan a jade card in the morning. With that jade card, she could freely enter and leave the royal palace. Besides, Qin Yunuan only suspected that the account books of the three shops were fake at the beginning, and had not checked the accounts to confirm, and did not dare to rush with Princess Ning. Mention.

"It's Yu Nuan who couldn't accompany her more. It's Yu Nuan, but Yu Nuan gave the three shops to Yu Nuan before. Yu Nuan dared not live up to her mother's trust and wanted to see it on the spot today. It was Yu Nuan who neglected." Qin Yunuan was slightly blessed with Princess Ning, intending to tell Aunt Tang that if she wanted to apologize, no matter how wrong she was, she just recognized Princess Ning, a mother-in-law and apologized to Princess Ning alone. What on earth was her concubine of Ning's palace worrying about?

Princes Ning smiled gently: "I don't blame you. I'm just running out on this hot day, worried that you can't stand it." After saying that, he asked his maidservant to serve Qin Yunuan a bowl of rock sugar snow pear soup to relieve the summer heat. "Try it. This example is picked from the manor in the suburbs of our royal palace and sent it directly. It's very fresh."

Qin Yunuan smiled sweetly and thanked him. Fang pinched a small spoon and prepared a good product. Unexpectedly, Princess Ning said again, "Wait, come on, use my one."

Princess Ning pointed to the small silver spoon that she had never used before, and her smile became more and more kind and cherished.

This move made Ruan Ruyi and Aunt Tang slightly stunned. Princess Ning obviously showed her protection and preference for Qin Yunuan, and also hinted that it was better to do fewer small movements. For a moment, Tang looked at Princess Ning's unfathomable eyes and even felt that in fact, Ning in her bones The princess is an extremely shrewd and intelligent person, but when she saw Princess Ning's sincere and kind smile that day, this idea was instantly dispelled.

"Thank you very much, concubine." Qin Yunuan took the spoon very respectfully, pinched a delicate handle and scooped half a spoonful of rock sugar snow pears. The mouth was cool, which was indeed a treasure to relieve the summer heat.

Princess Ning smiled with satisfaction, looked at Aunt Tang, and suddenly realized, "Yes, sister, didn't you say that you had something important to tell me when you came just now? He also said that it has something to do with Yu Nuan. Now that Yu Nuan is also here, it's better to say it directly.

Qin Yunuan smiled and said with expectation and kindness: "Yes, if there is anything wrong with Aunt Tang, Yu Nuan will definitely change it."

Just now, Princess Ning and Qin Yunuan were so close, and Princess Ning's preference for Qin Yunuan had also reached such an extent. How could Aunt Tang say it? Aunt Tang was embarrassed and pinched Ruan Ruyi fiercely in private.

Ruan Ruyi knew that she had been pushed to the fire pit again, but she had to jump again and said bravely, "It's still about the three shops in the east of the city."

Princes Ning's face was cold: "What else is there to say? I have given it all to Yu Nuan."

"It was because it was handed over to the third sister-in-law that there was such a big deal this afternoon," Ruan Ruyi quickly answered, "Mother, you don't know that today's third sister-in-law is really vigorous. She went straight to the shop at noon and changed the shopkeeper without saying anything, which also caused trouble for the clerk in the shop and said she didn't want to I stayed in Xiuzhuang to work.

Qin Yunuan squeezed her lips and smiled. She had long expected that Aunt Tang and Ruan Ruyi's eyes had been staring at the three shops: "My sister-in-law's news is really well-in-law. What happened at noon, and my sister-in-law knows so clearly."

Princess Ning restrained her eyebrows slightly: "Yu Nuan, is this true?"

Qin Yunuan slowly glanced at Ruyi and Aunt Tang, and saw that there was a kind of pleasure in their eyes waiting for Qin Yunuan to deny and then show more evidence to crush her. Qin Yunuan simply replied bluntly, "Mother, this is true."

Princess Ning owed a debt, but did not continue to speak, as if waiting for Qin Yunuan to continue to speak.

"It's such a mother concubine," Qin Yunuan calmly explained all the details of today, and then nodded slightly, "If the mother doesn't believe it, Yu Nuan has brought those account books back to the house. You can slowly check them. The mother concubine knows how much profits are hidden in the three shops, and naturally she will naturally understand, sister-in-law And why is Aunt Tang so worried about the three shops that can only barely make a profit, and she wants to get it again and again.

This is not that Qin Yunuan's words are too blunt and vicious, but she has always known Princess Ning's attitude towards Aunt Tang and Ruan Ruyi. She must also clearly state her attitude so as not to provoke Ruan Ruyi's behavior yesterday. More importantly, she always remembers Leng Changxi's reminder, away from Leng Chang'an The people in the room are far away.

"Look at what the third sister-in-law said," Ruan Ruyi smiled awkwardly, "How can we know the real profit of the shop? We are just thinking that the three shops are also on display. It's better to take them to manage them well, which is also a little light to the royal palace."

"Do you want to run a good job?" Qin Yunuan smiled and said, "The real situation of these three shops is not only the state of good operation, but also the daily Doujin. It is not the kind of barely survival situation reported to the royal palace at all. The mother's concubine, the account book is outside. If you want to have a look, I can take it in immediately."

Princess Ning put down her chopsticks and said seriously, "You mean that the three shopkeepers I sent to take charge of the shop made the fat water flow into their own pockets?"

Qin Yunuan also nodded seriously: "Yes."

Princess Ning blushed angrily: "It's too much. I don't know if there are more places for other people in the house to deduct greedy ink."

When Princess Ning said this, Qin Yunuan obviously felt that Aunt Tang suddenly trembled.
