Chapter Thirteen: The first appearance of the three women in the anthology garden

On Bianhe Street, Ni Manqing took his maid Xiaodie to the entrance of a three-story attic called Wen Jiyuan.

Seeing this, the servant guarding the door hurriedly came forward: "I've seen Miss Ni."

"Well, are you upstairs, sisters?"

The servant nodded with a wry smile: "Here, he's..." He seemed very helpless.

Seeing this, Ni Manqing covered her mouth and laughed out loud, only to think that the servant was also pitiful.

So she asked Xiaodie to take out two big money to reward him, so that he could keep the door open.

The servant took the reward and immediately smiled and promised that he would guard the door strictly and would never be exposed.

There are many types of money in the Song Dynasty. A large amount of money worth hundreds of cents has appeared. Two cents are equivalent to two hundred cents, which is equivalent to seven or eight days of wages.

Ni Manqing entered the Wen Jiyuan all the way, and first greeted the shopkeeper in the hall. The shopkeeper's smile was full of helplessness. This Wen Jiyuan was originally a study for buying and selling books, but now...

Alas, I just blame my own people for being so careless!

When they reached the third floor, Ni Manqing and his servant heard the sound of rolling dice from afar, and there were sounds of girls teasing each other.

Ni Manqing came outside a room and knocked on the door: "Sister, I'm here."

The room was moving for a moment, and then the door was opened from inside, and there was a sound of pulling the locks. It was blue and white, and the girls didn't know what to hide in the room, but they actually locked the door.

Ni Manqing smiled bitterly, looked up and two jade bodies on the couch leaned slanted against the nanmu handrail, lazily playing horse chess.

One of them had a blurred almond eyes. He thought he had drunk some wine and looked slightly drunk. He had an oval face, a little red lips, a wing of his nose, and his eyes were looking at her... This person was a talented woman with a very famous name in Bianjing City, Li Qingzhao.

The other one has a beautiful and beautiful appearance, with lips like cherry blossoms, cheeks like snow, green eyebrows, phoenix eyes lightly raised as if they were in a spirit, and her manners were dignified and she revealed her desire for laziness everywhere. When she saw Ni Manqing, the richest man, she just nodded slightly to greet her.

Ni Manqing did not dare to be careless and hurriedly bowed: "It turns out that Sister Zhao is here too, Manqing is rude."

Zhao Mujin waved his hand casually, picked up three dice and threw it, counted five copper horse chess and walked five steps on the chessboard.

Li Qingzhao, who was lying on the opposite side, struggled to support herself, pulled the hole in her collar to cover half of the exposed snow-white shoulders, "Isn't the new store open today? Why do you have time to come here to have fun?"

When Ni Manqing heard this, she remembered the purpose of her search. She glanced at Zhao Mujin who was still lazy, thought about it, and said with a smile: "Does sister still remember the question I asked for me the day before yesterday?"

Li Qingzhao, who was about to roll dice, was stunned and looked back at her: "Why, someone has solved it?"

Zhao Mujin, who was sitting opposite her, was also stunned for a moment, and her originally lazy expression instantly looked at Ni Manqing with a spirit.

Ni Manqing nodded with a wry smile, glanced at Zhao Mujin, and replied: "That's right, I used it as a gimmick, but I didn't want it to be untied, so I gave me a flower hairpin for free."

Zhao Mujin frowned slightly and asked softly: "But my riddle was solved?"

Li Qingzhao looked at her, but didn't say anything, just stared at Ni Manqing.

Ni Manqing nodded: "It was the riddle that was solved... However, I saw that the man not only solved the riddle, my pair, and Sister Li's poem title, he was afraid he had a draft of the mantra."

Zhao Mujin looked at Ni Manqing deeply and knew that she was comforting herself. The three of them had questions, but now only her riddles were solved. She felt a little dissatisfied. Ni Manqing was finding a way out for herself.

However, Li Qingzhao didn't think so. She simply stopped playing horses, sat cross-legged, carelessly without any image a woman should have, frowned and said, "My poem title has been solved?"

Ni Manqing remembered the two of them and wanted to laugh in her heart, but Zhao Mujin could only hold it back on the spot, and then nodded: "The two sisters also know that I have always seen people very accurately. The young master must be confident. However, there were many children of the gentry present today. After leaving a lyricist saying, "It is better to have fun alone than to have fun."

"It is better to have fun with everyone than to have fun with them..." Li Qingzhao's expression changed inexplicably.

But Zhao Mujin suddenly asked, "How long has it taken him to solve the problem?"

Ni Manqing was stunned when she heard this. It was a little embarrassed. Yun Yi probably didn't use a cup of tea before and after, but the riddle was produced by Zhao Mujin after all, and it would be a bit hurtful to tell him bluntly.

When she hesitated, Zhao Mujin and Li Qingzhao looked at each other and probably knew the specific situation.

Zhao Mujin's phoenix eyes flashed and she pursed her cherry lips slightly: "It's so interesting. It took him half a day to solve the riddle, and he could see it?"

Li Qingzhao nodded slightly, as if she had found something interesting, and said, "I am idle around the world, do you want to meet me?"

Zhao Mujin looked slightly moved and teased: "You are concerned about your bet, right?"

Li Qingzhao's plump red lips opened, looked at Ni Manqing, and said in anger: "Hmph, who doesn't necessarily lose."

at the same time.

Yun Yi and the other two rented a black-sailed boat at the port and went straight to the house.

When I went out today, I bought three new sets of clothes for Qiuniang, two comfortable cotton and linen shorts for Daniu, some rouge and water powder, and a few small pieces of jewelry. Yun Yi himself bought a set of ivory Go pieces, and spent more than eight guan, but the ten guan of copper coins he brought out were not spent.

What Yun Yi and the other two didn't know was that they had been targeted by someone.

On the port, the Ni family's guardhouse was divided into two routes, going back all the way to report the news and continuing to follow along.

Yun Yi was a little tired when he got home. He wanted to take a cold shower and feel comfortable. Qiu Niang was holding a lot of things she bought for her and ran into the house excitedly, thinking that she had to dress herself up.

Yun Yi looked at it and smiled, and simply stopped taking a shower. He lay down on the stone table under the peach tree, blew the cool breeze, staring at the blue sky through the treetops...

I was drowsy and not sure how long it took. When I woke up, Qiu Niang changed her clothes and was already cleaning the fallen leaves in the yard.

"Ah...how long have I slept?" Yun Yi yawned.

Qiu Niang still lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him. The hairpin on her head shone brightly in the sun, and she replied timidly: "Let's go half an hour soon."

Yun Yi nodded, looked at Qiu Niang who had her hair tied up, and smiled and praised her: "You look so good with this hairpin."

Qiu Niang was happy, pursed her lips, and had a shy smile on her face.

After a pause, she couldn't help asking curiously: "Langjun, why didn't you answer the other two questions at that time? Although I don't understand the market, the pair of bracelets and that jade Ruyi are probably worth a lot of money."

At this time, a luxurious carriage outside the yard just stopped.

Yun Yi sat up and pointed to the kitchen. Qiu Niang ran over sensibly to bring the brewed tea and a plate of osmanthus cake.

After taking a sip of tea, Yun Yi picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and smelled it, and said, "The arrow shot out the bird and hooked the fish to catch the fish. You saw that the young men next to him almost stared at me to death. If the eyes could kill people, I would be afraid that my husband would be full of holes."

"Puchi..." Qiu Niang thought Yun Yi's words were vivid and interesting, but they were a bit unlucky. She glanced at Yun Yi and remembered that her eyes could kill people. She quickly covered her eyes with her hands, which made Yun Yi laugh.

"Can the husband answer that? That pair and that poem?"
