After coming out of home, Li Qingyou got on the carriage.

Mao'er Hutong, where the Li family is located, is in the east of the city, and Luoji Hutong is in the west of the city, which happens to cross Qingshan County. Fortunately, the county is not big, and it takes less than an hour to get there by horse-drawn carriage.

"Our Third Young Master has said that if the girl has any requests, please feel free to ask for them. The Shen family will do their best to fulfill them."

"Opening a racecourse is easy to say and difficult to say. There is a lot to talk about in this business..."

"Let's not talk about other things. Let's just talk about the location, hiring people, where we are looking for, and who we are looking for. There is a lot of detail in this. We need to have a reliable person in front of us..."

Manager Cao kept talking all the way, saying that it was not easy to do business, and it was even more difficult for a woman to do business. At the same time, he said openly and secretly that he could handle it all.

Li Qingyou listened to each other, not being too cold, but also not showing much enthusiasm.

She could roughly guess what Manager Cao had planned. He just wanted to stay and manage the racecourse with her. Shen San couldn't stay here forever. He would definitely send someone over, either to help or to supervise. question.

The Wei family didn't send anyone here, and the Shen family was the dominant one. The steward of the Shen family could cover the sky with one hand. This was the purpose of steward Cao.

The reason why Manager Cao was so attentive was probably because he wanted her not to object when Master Shen asked him to stay and help.

He looked down upon her quite a bit, and a sarcastic smile appeared on Li Qingyou's lips.

Manager Cao's mouth went dry when he said this. He didn't see Li Qingyou express his position, so he couldn't help but feel resentful. The reason why he worked so hard was not only because it was a fat job, but also because he wanted to strive for the top.

He would rather have the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. He doesn't want to go back to being the second-in-command there.

At this moment, Manager Cao suddenly regretted that he had slacked off on the way to Yuzhou Mansion. It was only because of his short-sightedness that he thought Li Qingyou was just a springboard, who knew it was a single-plank bridge. He should have established a good relationship with them if he had known it.

But it's not too late.

"It's dry and dry in the summer. I just saw at the girl's house that all the drinks to cool down and quench the thirst are cold drinks. This is not good for the body. It's better for women to be less greedy for cold drinks." Manager Cao said as he took out the paper bag he had prepared in advance. .

"It happens that I have a bag of Yuqian Longjing that was newly introduced this year. At least I have known the girl for many days, and Yuzhou Prefecture took care of her along the way. I will give this bag of tea to the girl." Manager Cao pointed the tea bag directly to Li Qingyou. In front of my eyes, I pinched it lightly a few times.

Seeing that Li Qingyou didn't say anything, she just looked at him steadily and said with some worry: "This is good tea. You might as well open it and take a look, so you can know what's inside."

Li Qingyou almost laughed out loud. Did Manager Cao think she was blind? He even made out the shape of the silver wrapped in tea leaves and asked her to open it to see what was inside.

Do you really think she is a fool?

"That's easy to say. Then I'll thank Manager Cao." Li Qingyou took the tea bag and didn't put it away. She just held it in her hand. She could clearly see the shape of the silver through the paper bag.

Judging from the size and weight, it should be ten taels of silver.

It's rare that the stingy Manager Cao is willing to spend so much money.

"Girl, won't you put it away carefully?" Manager Cao reminded, is she going to take it in front of the Third Young Master? Then he is playing a fool. Doesn't that clearly tell the Third Young Master that he is bribing?

Li Qingyou glanced at the tea bag in embarrassment, "This... the fabric is thin in summer, so it's easier to hold."

Even the money and tea bags here are about the size of an adult man's fist, making them look like big bulges wherever you put them.

The corners of Guanshi Cao's mouth twitched a few times, and his intestines almost turned green.

If he had known earlier, he shouldn't have had the chance to deceive this girl with just a few words. He should have given her the money and tea directly when he went to Li's house, and got her guarantee, so as not to have to do this now.

There is no way to advance or retreat.

At the moment, I don’t know if she understood clearly, but she wanted to make her words clear, but the man driving the car outside heard it, and that was the boy in front of the third young master. If he wanted to come back, it would be better not to send him away, or he might be betrayed by this girl again.

I have a grudge.

What should I do?

Guan Cao's face changed in a hurry. He was so uneasy that he almost scratched his ears and cheeks. Li Qingyou's intestines hurt from laughing, so she could only hold back with all her strength to keep the corners of her mouth from raising.

The heat outside is unbearable, people are upset when the weather is hot, and it's so stuffy in the carriage. It would be boring if we didn't have some fun.

Manager Cao was preoccupied with things along the way and was no longer interested in chatting. He was preoccupied with how to deal with the current situation.

Without Manager Cao noisy in her ears, Li Qingyou felt much more relaxed, and even less hot. She glanced at the wilted Manager Cao a few more times to adjust her mood, and then Li Qingyou closed her eyes and thought about the next step.

thing.

Last night, in addition to drawing a sketch, she also wrote a simple plan. However, she did not bring the plan with her because it would be useless. She wrote in simplified Chinese characters and others could not understand it.

He listed the contents of the plan in his mind, thinking about what he would say later and how he would say it. After all, this was the first time he had done business in two lifetimes, and Li Qingyou also wanted to do it well.

The streets in the county town were relatively smooth, and the carriage was rocking comfortably. Li Qingyou almost fell asleep until he was woken up by Manager Cao after an unknown amount of time.

"Are we here?" Li Qingyou rubbed her eyes and looked outside. She was not familiar with the west side of the city, and she was a little confused just after waking up. She couldn't tell the difference between east, west, north and south for a while.

Manager Cao waved his hand, "It's not here yet, but it's coming soon."

Li Qingyou also realized that the carriage was still moving forward. She turned her head and looked at Manager Cao suspiciously, and saw that he pursed his lips with difficulty, and there were beads of sweat dripping from his forehead.

Is it that hot?

Seeing him like this, he had something to say, but he didn't know how to say it. His eyes kept falling on the tea bag.

Li Qingyou waited patiently for a few minutes, until the other party couldn't say a word for a long time, and she said it for him after exhausting her patience, "I think you need to cool down and quench your thirst more than me. How about you take this back?"

Steward Cao raised his head suddenly, and his face immediately turned red. After all, he was also the steward of the Shen family, and it was so embarrassing to ask for back the gift he had given out.

But compared to being a gangster in front of the third young master and then being kicked out of the Shen family, I was willing to risk my humiliation.

Just when he mustered up the courage to nod, Li Qingyou opened the tea bag and took out the piece of silver. Manager Cao swallowed back the words when they reached his lips, and two gleams of light suddenly appeared in his originally gloomy eyes.

It was as if a dog that had been hungry for three days saw a bone.
