After traveling through time, I rely on force to survive

Xie Xuanan's peach blossom eyes were filled with smiles again.

"After the task is completed, I will definitely give you a huge reward! Also, from now on, all prey Miss Li obtains through hunting, no matter how big or small, will be purchased permanently by Zuiyuexuan!"

Oh? Xie Xuanan's information is good, and you also know that she's not good at retail?

However, the information gathering was not effective enough, and even the true identities of the two people in her family were not found out.

Rejoice!

Li Qingqing stared at Xie Xuanan with a half-smile in her eyes. She didn't miss the deep anxiety hidden in his eyes.

"Master Xie, I've heard that the Zuiyuexuan Restaurant has branches all over the country. How about you give me 20% of your profits? Of course, I won't take too much advantage of you. I will send a batch of prey to the Zuiyuexuan in Qiushui Town every ten days for free."

We are just investigating the evidence, there is no need to be so hasty. Xie Xuanan must have other hidden secrets.

Since he won't say anything, then ask for more benefits. Just think of it as making extra money and saving more capital. In the future, besides hunting, it will be a good idea to do business.

Even if you are rejected, it doesn’t matter. Things like this can backfire if you are not careful.

Until then, how does she live her leisurely life?

Besides, Zhou An was about to take the exam, so he couldn't be affected at all.

In this dynasty, a wife's status depends on her husband. If Zhou An can gain a place on the road to the imperial examination, won't he no longer need to hunt in the future?

Li Qingqing waited quietly for Xie Xuan'an to speak. She was not in a hurry anyway.

Xie Xuan'an was silent for a while.

And you still say you're not taking advantage? This Miss Li is really outspoken!

However, if he could rescue the person he was looking for, even giving him half of Zuiyuexuan's profit would not be too much.

If that person was not in Mr. Liu's hands, it wouldn't be a big loss.

According to information gathered by his subordinates, Mr. Liu has a very deep foundation in Qiu Shui Town.

Now he is the magistrate of Yuntai County. If he wants to stay here safely before the end of his term, he really needs someone to help him get rid of Mr. Liu, so that the power of the other three towns will not be a concern.

It’s a pity that there are too few people available to me!

Xie Xuan'an weighed the pros and cons. His peach blossom eyes revealed satisfaction as he nodded. "Deal! However, to avoid any accidents, we'll take action at midnight tonight!"

His men have already alarmed Mr. Liu, and Governor Qian has also come to Qiu Shui Town. If no action is taken quickly, the situation will only get worse.

Li Qingqing heard this and thought to herself.

It only takes one night, and in exchange for a 20% profit per month, it’s a good deal!

After a moment, she nodded: "Okay! I hope Mr. Xie will not alarm my family."

Xie Xuanan's eyes were filled with a smile. He picked up the teacup and took a sip. "Don't worry, Miss Li. I, Xie Xuanan, have always been cautious and will never let your family be implicated."

"In that case, I will come to Zuiyuexuan to find you at 10:00 p.m., and Mr. Xie just needs to prepare a set of night clothes for me." Li Qingqing stood up and said goodbye to Xie Xuan'an.

Xie Xuan'an's smile deepened. He stood up and bowed deeply: "Miss Li, Xuan'an will be waiting for your arrival here."

After Li Qingqing left Zuiyuexuan, she first went to the grain and oil store to buy rice, oil and other daily necessities.

She bought a lot and was afraid of being suspected by the clerk, so she went back and forth several times and put the things into the space in a place where no one was.

Only after she had bought everything she needed did she come to the noodle stall next to the cloth shop.

It was not yet lunch time, and there was almost no one in front of the noodle stall.

Li Qingqing bought a bowl of tea from the noodle stall owner, then sat on a bench and waited patiently for Zhou Yimo.

Dean Bai thought highly of Zhou Yimo. The two of them talked for a long time before letting him leave.

Zhou Yimo appeared calm on the outside, but he was anxious inside, fearing that his wife would get impatient waiting. However, he had no choice but to make an appointment with Dean Bai to come to the academy as soon as his mother recovered from her illness. For now, he would study at home on his own.

Zhou Yimo came out of the academy with the remaining three taels of silver paid by the academy management in his arms and hurried to the market.

The noodle stall is right in the market, so I can buy another hairpin for my wife on the way.

Zhou Yimo guessed that his wife had never worn the wooden hairpin he bought for her last time, so she might not like it very much.

Before, his family was in financial difficulty, and the money he earned from copying books had to be used to support the family, so his budget could only be allocated to the wooden hairpin. Now that his family no longer needed him to support the family, he could spend all the money he earned on his wife.

If he wanted to buy a gift for his wife again in the future, he would have to wait until he passed the imperial examination and received a reward.

This time, Zhou Yimo bought a pear blossom silver hairpin.

The main body has delicate dark patterns, and the top of the hairpin is decorated with a few tightly clustered pear blossoms, which are noble, elegant and very beautiful.

Zhou Yimo fell in love with her at first sight.

Even more fortunately, the price of this silver hairpin was exactly three taels, and he handed over the silver without hesitation.

When Li Qingqing took a sip of tea and looked at the street again, she saw Zhou Yimo who was rushing over happily.

Today he was wearing an indigo-colored gown sewn by Zhao's grandmother. He had a tall figure and walked with a quick but graceful pace.

Seeing Li Qingqing looking at him, his clear and deep eyes suddenly lit up with joy.

Li Qingqing was a little suspicious.

Seeing him smiling so happily, could it be that he got a lot of rewards today?

"Give it to me!" Li Qingqing sat upright on the stool with a calm expression and stretched out her hand in front of Zhou Yimo.

As a qualified housekeeper, she should collect the family's income in a timely manner.

"Ah?" Zhou Yimo was stunned, then he thought, could it be that his wife knew that he bought a gift today?

Hey! It just seems a bit uncomfortable to give my wife a gift on the street!

Zhou Yimo looked around inconspicuously. Seeing that no one noticed him, he handed the pear blossom hairpin to Li Qingqing and said with a low laugh:

"My wife is so wise, look, this is the gift I bought for you!"

Li Qingqing looked at the pear blossom hairpin lying in her palm, the corner of her mouth twitched, and she asked, "Where's the silver?"

"Silver? Here it is! Exactly three taels." Zhou Yimo's eyebrows were full of smiles, not noticing Li Qingqing's expression at all. He continued:

"Last time, if you don't want to wear the wooden hairpin, then don't wear it. I believe you will like this pear blossom hairpin."

Li Qingqing blinked.

Good thing I have money now.

If we wait for these three taels of silver to buy rice, won’t the whole family starve to death?

Brother Zhou, do you know that if three taels of silver were converted into rice, the whole family could eat for at least three months?

No, that's not the point! The point is that she doesn't know how to use a hairpin! She can't!

Li Qingqing was in tears.

She once secretly used the wooden hairpin to try it out, but her hair just wouldn't obey!

But, to be honest, this pear blossom hairpin is really unique. How about, for the sake of the pear blossom hairpin, forgive him first?

There is something important to do right now!

Li Qingqing looked at the pear blossom hairpin with some sadness, silently put it into her pocket, and stood up expressionlessly.

He planned to take Zhou Yimo to a deserted place and tell him what he had discussed with Xie Xuan'an today.

Suddenly, a gloomy and slightly hoarse voice sounded, "Miss Li, we meet again!"

Li Qingqing looked closely and saw a middle-aged man in an exquisite silver silk robe walking towards her quickly with a group of his men.

Following him was the bruised and battered Hu Dabao.

What a narrow encounter!

Who else could this middle-aged man be but Mr. Liu?

This... I was planning to sneak into his house in the middle of the night, how come I met him in advance?

Li Qingqing: ...

I went out today and forgot to check the date! ?
