The Xi family's power is in the south city of Yushui City. The Xi family's southern district city is far away from Xiajia's north district city. The competition in business between the two cities is extremely fierce, and various means of attracting customers are endless.
Xi Qiushui, the son of the head of the Xi family, is the chief inspector of Fang City in Xijia South District. In Fang City, two types of shops are the most important, one is the medicinal material shop, and the other is the blacksmith shop. The medicinal material shop and the blacksmith shop are the most profitable shops, and they are also the most important ones.
The strength of the family is demonstrated. Among the customers who come and go in the city, the type of people who are most willing to spend money are cultivators, and cultivators generally have more demand for potions, medicinal materials, weapons, armor and other items.
In order to attract more customers, the medicinal materials shop in Fangshi, Nan District, thought of a way to rent some precious medicinal materials from the Yushui City Auction House. The century-old four-eared orchids that Xia Yan needed were exactly what the medicinal materials shop in Fangshi, Nan District had bought for a month.
Rent it before.
They put this kind of medicinal material in the medicine shop not for sale, but just hoping to have an advertising effect. Businessmen are extremely smart and naturally know the benefits of advertising effect.
"Snapped!"
Xi Qiushui slapped her palms on the sandalwood table and stood up suddenly, her gorgeous brocade robe fluttering, her face was sinister, and her eyes were sinister.
"Hmph, it must be the hateful Xia family who bought the four-eared orchid. Hmm, that ghost girl also said that it was a mysterious person who wanted to buy the four-eared orchid. I guess it must be the Xia family who is doing this to hide their identity!"
Xi Qiushui snorted coldly, his face extremely gloomy.
"Master, the person from the auction house has just left. How about we intercept her and buy the four-eared orchid?" A clerk in the medicine shop said in a flattering tone.
Xi Qiushui turned his eyes, glanced at the clerk, and then said with a sly smile: "No need! The power behind the auction house is too huge, and it is not something that our Xi family can easily offend. Since the Xia family wants to compete with us, then
Let's fight it out, our Xi family is not afraid. After two days, I will take people to visit the Xia family's North District Fangshi, hehe!"
The clerk in the store bowed hurriedly, with a charming smile on his face. He opened his mouth and said with a lewd look: "The young master must have had a wonderful idea. If the Xia family wants to fight with the young master, they are just asking for death! The young master's resourcefulness is unparalleled in the world.
The young master’s martial arts skills are the best in the world!”
"Hahahaha..." Xi Qiushui glanced at the waiter with satisfaction and laughed happily.
Before a cup of tea, the girl in green from the medicine shop of the auction house came to Xijia South District Pharmacy and said that she was ordered to retrieve the four-eared orchid. Xi Qiushui asked why he wanted to retrieve the four-eared orchid, and the girl in green said that it was
Someone wants to buy a four-eared orchid.
At that time, Xi Qiushui was a little confused, why did someone in Yushui City suddenly want to buy such expensive medicinal materials? And they were elementary medicinal materials! He then asked who wanted to buy the century-old four-eared orchid. The girl in green hesitated for a while before saying
It turned out to be a mysterious man with a mask on his face.
Xi Qiushui's mind turned around and he suspected that the Xia family knew that the Xi family had rented a century-old four-eared orchid from the auction house to attract customers, so they came up with the idea to buy the four-eared orchid and ruin the Xi family's plan. Although he was very angry,
But the auction house must not be offended.
After the girl in green left, Xi Qiushui vented his anger. Xi Qiushui was the most outstanding figure among the younger generation of the Xi family, and he was also the son of the patriarch. In the Xi family, even the elders were extremely polite to him.
After serving as the Chief Inspector of Fang City in the Southern District, Xi Qiushui became even more arrogant and arrogant!
……………………………………………………
When Xia Yan returned to the Xia family's residence, it was just after noon. After he left the auction house, he made sure that no one was following him, so he ate some food on the street and hurried back.
Now that all the medicinal materials are ready, he is just waiting for the old man from the Holy Emperor to teach him how to prepare the medicine.
When Xia Yan opened the courtyard door, his eyes blurred and he thought he had gone to the wrong place.
I saw flowers and plants all over the courtyard, fragrant and bright, making people refreshed, cheerful and comfortable. Among the flowers, there was a young girl, with skin as silk and satin, as white as winter snow. Her slender waist followed
Wearing a pair of golden lotuses, she walked forward, holding a watering can in her hand to water the flowers and plants. She smiled and frowned like an intoxicating dance, and the crystal beads of sweat on her pretty face gave off a charming brilliance in the sun.
Xia Yan's expression paused, with doubts in his heart. Just as he was about to exit to see what was going on, the girl had already spotted Xia Yan pushing in the door.
"Master!" The girl hurriedly bowed and saluted, her voice was like an oriole out of the valley, it was indescribably wonderful, and it was completely different from Yafen who was challenging the limit at the venue.
"Who are you?" Xia Yan knew that he had not gone to the wrong place, but the courtyard had changed too much.
"My name is Xiao Qing, and the patriarch asked me to serve the young master!" Xiao Qing lowered her small head, with two very cute braids, and a neat pink dress that outlined her graceful figure. Although Xia Yan did not recognize her, she
But he recognized Xia Yan. Now I am afraid that everyone in the Xia family recognizes Xia Yan, including the servants and maids.
Xia Yan frowned when he heard this, and said in a somewhat unhappy tone: "How can this be done? I'm used to being alone. You go back and tell the clan leader that I don't need anyone to serve me!"
When Xiao Qing heard this, her face suddenly turned pale, and her weak body trembled slightly. She glanced at Xia Yan pitifully, and then lowered her head in fear, as if she had been infinitely wronged.
Xia Yan thought to himself, this woman is really troublesome!
Women like Xia Zixin are troublesome, women like Xiaoqing are also troublesome, and women like Yafen are even more troublesome and dangerous!
"Forget it, I'll keep her. Anyway, there's an empty wing on the left side of the courtyard. Just let her do her own thing! Besides, if I insist on not accepting it, the clan leader may be unhappy." Xia Yan then thought about it.
, I couldn't bear to drive Xiaoqing away, and after careful consideration, I decided to let nature take its course.
"In this case, you will stay in this courtyard. If I don't call you, you must not come to my room!" Xia Yan finally ordered with a dark face.
Hearing these words, Xiao Qing suddenly burst into tears and smiled, like pear blossoms in the rain, dazzlingly beautiful. Xia Yan couldn't help but froze for a moment, quickly turned his eyes and walked towards his room, his heart up and down.
"Yes, Master!" Huang Ying's voice came from behind.
Xia Yan is already fifteen years old and has grown up in the Dragon Continent. Naturally, he doesn't understand the relationship between men and women. However, Xia Yan still can't think about it now.
Entering the room, Xia Yan was surprised again. At this time, all the appliances in the room had been replaced. Compared with before, it can be said that the decoration of the room now is a hundred times more gorgeous.
All the utensils are made of high-quality materials and are brand new, obviously just purchased.
Especially the fragrant wood bed next to it is more than twice as big as before. It's okay to sleep on such a bed, even if it's sideways! Turning back and looking at Xiaoqing, Xia Yan shook his head and didn't ask, thinking that he was sure.
It was replaced by the leader of the clan.
Once his status changed, his treatment also completely changed. If Xia Yan didn't shine in the selection of outstanding children, I'm afraid no one would remember where he lives.
"Oops, not good..." Suddenly, Xia Yan's face changed and he remembered something. He put the medicinal materials he bought yesterday directly on the table in the room. Because he was used to no one coming to his place, when he went out in the morning
It was confiscated.
Hearing Xia Yan's scream, Xiao Qing hurriedly ran over with little feet and asked in a panic: "Master, what's wrong with you?"
Xia Yan said continuously: "Xiao Qing, have you seen the grass that was originally placed on my table?"
Xiaoqing's small and delicate nose wrinkled slightly, her red mouth opened and her teeth were exposed, and she said: "I kept those grasses in the kitchen. I saw that they were medicinal herbs, so I didn't throw them away. Master, you
Are you sick, do you want some medicine?"
Xia Yan rolled his eyes and was shocked. The medicinal materials bought with hundreds of gold coins were almost thrown away. Fortunately, Xiao Qing was sensible and didn't throw them away directly, otherwise it would have been a disaster.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Xia Yan looked at Xiao Qing with a smile on his face and said, "Well done, bring those grasses quickly, I want to use them."
