    ?

    Jiang Qichen dug a hole in Bai Ya's inner courtyard, made a fire, and made himself look disgraced.  Bai Ya was reading in the room and shouting from time to time: "When will the beggar's chicken be ready? I'm already hungry!"

    "Right away, right away!"

    Jiang Qichen shouted cheerfully, and suddenly felt murderous intent behind him. He turned around and saw the girl Xiao Qing with upturned eyebrows.  For a moment, Jiang Qichen's expression was bright, and he said awkwardly: "Miss Xiaoqing, are your injuries healed?"

    "Xiaoqing was seriously injured by Zhongshanxiao, but because of the use of Zhongshanxiao's elixir, not only was the injury healed, but her strength was also stronger than before.  In Xiao Qing's impression, the young lady's food, clothing, housing and transportation must be extremely meticulous. What is she doing now?  Chicken wrapped in mud, is this edible?  What should I do if I have a bad stomach?

    "I have to be glad that my injury is healed, otherwise I would have to let you recuperate, young lady."

    "Actually, the beggar's chicken is quite delicious."

    "You are saying something."

    Jiang Qichen didn't dare to speak anymore and kept his mouth tightly shut.  When Bai Ya heard Xiao Qing's voice, she thought about it. The girl in charge was back. The good days were over, but she said seriously: "Xiao Qing, you are back."

    When Xiaoqing saw Bai Ya, she immediately knelt down and said, "Xiaoqing asked Miss to forgive me. Under the temptation, I really had the idea of ????killing Miss and replacing her."

    Bai Ya laughed loudly: "Come on, silly girl, under that kind of temptation, who hasn't thought about it, you are really great, you can think of sending Jiang Shaoxia and other Shaoxia in a big box with Li Dai Tao Zong, and putting me  Get it out with Yinke. You have grown up." While saying this, Bai Ya helped the tearful Xiao Qing up, held her in her arms, and asked softly: "Can I try this beggar's chicken today?  "

    "no!"

    At this time, Jiang Qichen knocked open the earthen bag and said seriously: "Look, it's all ready, and it smells delicious."

    Bai Ya was helpless: "Who told you to do it so slowly?"

    Jiang Qichen was surprised: "Can you blame me?"

    Xiaoqing once provided information to the banker that Pippi had changed the face of a person in Chang'an. This person was Gu Ming, the new Minister of Household Affairs.  Because of this incident, Bai Ya and Jiang Qichen came to the bank to discuss with the banker how to handle the matter.

    Yinke said seriously: "Gu Ming has indeed changed recently, but the things he does are very popular and down-to-earth, especially the last few memorials, which are all about making decisions for the people."

    Bai Ya sighed: "What about the old Gu Ming?"

    "The tool of family power is only wealth and life!"

    Bai Ya was a little embarrassed, should she expose him in this case?  Bankers don¡¯t know what to do either?  Because what happened recently is really contrary to common sense.

    Jiang Qichen spoke: "He has changed from a bad official to a good official, so what do we care about him?"

    Bai Ya sighed: "But, is he the one who killed Gu Ming after all?"

    "Is Gu Ming a good person?"

    "no!"

    "The grievances, right and wrong, who is right and who is wrong are really endless. At this time, if it were me, I would help good people."

    Bai Ya was happy, and his gloomy mood was gone: "Whoever you help, I will help."

    The banker also laughed and said loudly: "That's it, I don't care about Gu Ming's affairs, but I will get in touch with him."

    Bai Ya reminded the banker: "Brother, don't mention Gu Ming's change. At this time, he is very sensitive about his identity."

    The banker nodded: "I understand, using the same method we used with Mr. Di, we just went to tell Gu Ming that he was an upright official working for the people, and the things behind it were left to us, Jin Abacus.  There has to be someone who pays the bills.¡±

    Bai Ya nodded and said seriously: "I just don't know where the guy who can change people's faces has gone?"

    "He should be in danger. There was a fire in Gu Ming's house recently. The fire killed one person. The news came out, but Dali Temple did not intervene. There is something fishy. I guess Gu Ming wanted to cover it up.  Identity, kill that weird guy. Brother Jiang, what do you think of this matter?"

    Jiang Qichen left the number. When he heard the banker asking him, he said ah and didn't know how to answer.  Yinke gradually got to know Jiang Qichen and asked with a smile: "Brother Jiang, what are you thinking about?"

    "I have never married a daughter-in-law, so what should I give as a bride price? Ask me, I am a master, so I am worried."

    Bai Ya was a little helpless: "Such a small matter, I can go home and find a matchmaker to sort it out."

    Bankers are not onlyAngrily, he continued the topic and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Now let's prepare a betrothal gift and send it to Mr. Teng's house."

    Jiang Qichen was a little embarrassed: "Your things are all expensive, so how much money will it cost?"

    Bai Ya wanted to speak, but the banker stopped her with a wave of his hand: "It's not expensive. We don't pay much attention to ostentation in weddings in the Tang Dynasty. The bride price is combs, mirrors, rulers, boxes and the like."

    "Oh, thank you for bothering me, brother, you really did me a big favor."

    Mr. Teng was suspended from his official duties recently and was sulking at home. Hearing that the betrothal gift from Zhongshan Xiao was brought along with a matchmaker, Mr. Teng became angry and brought the old housekeeper to the front hall angrily.  Thinking, if there is any flaw in this bride price and etiquette, I will return it to you.

    "Congratulations to Sir Teng, congratulations to Sir Teng!"

    The matchmaker laughed along with him, but Lord Teng had a gloomy look on his face.

    "Master Teng, this is the best gift I have ever seen."

    Lord Teng snorted, what kind of gift could a servant¡¯s apprentice give him?

    "Lao Hua, let me check this betrothal gift carefully. If it is not of high quality, throw it away."

    Old Butler Hua was a little surprised. When did Mr. Teng pay so much attention to betrothal gifts? In the past two years, in order to marry off his daughter, he personally went to guard the No. 1 Scholar Ranking. Those poor families who won the top three wanted to recruit him as a son-in-law, but the young lady did not.  Just agree.

    Mr. Teng only had one wife. He died early, and he only had a daughter under his knees. He has been enshrining her as a treasure. But fate is like this. Miss Teng spent a long time choosing her, and finally she became blind.

    After thinking about it for a while, Butler Hua could understand Lord Teng¡¯s intention, which was to prevent this marriage.

    Old Butler Hua picked up the dressing box, looked at the comb first, and then opened the dressing box. Old Butler Hua was shocked. It turned out to be a flying butterfly on the temples. The shape of the comb was a butterfly and the workmanship was exquisite. Although this kind of comb is not exclusive to the royal family, it is still popular in the world.  There is not much. Legend has it that it is made of thousand-year-old wood and can be passed down for generations.

    The matchmaker introduced: "There are three flying butterflies on the temples in Chang'an City. When the Empress Dowager entered the palace, the late emperor gave one as a gift. It was made of thousand-year-old sandalwood. The second one was given by the Holy One. When Princess Zhaoxue got married, the Holy One gave her as a dowry.  There was a butterfly flying on the temples, and what you see now is the third one."

    Old Butler Hua had never seen such a treasure before. His forehead was sweating and he put the comb back tremblingly for fear of damage.

    "Look in the mirror!"

    After seeing the mirror, Mr. Hua took a breath of air. The mirror was eight-sided and had a composition. In the picture, a person was sitting next to a bamboo forest, with a piano on his knees. There were several tables in front of him and something on them.  Phoenix birds dance under the trees on the other side.  There is a lotus pond under the button, with a lotus leaf growing out, and a turtle on it. The turtle and lotus leaf form a button and a button base.  A half-moon in the clouds and mountains above.  The four characters "Zhenzi Feishuang" are inscribed in the field grid under the clouds.

    The Mako Feishuang Mirror is a legendary mirror. There is only one batch, and the exact number is unknown. There are many imitations in the market, but this mirror is definitely not it. Old Butler Hua did not dare to look down.

    "My lord, the betrothal gift is expensive, but I am too blind to look at it."

    "It's nonsense. Those who marry young ladies are not noble people. If you don't see it, I will see it myself." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
