Chapter 376: No Loss

It's actually very close to the dim sum, and all you see is the scenery of a street, but fortunately, you know that it's more about people. The people on the bustling street www.biquge.info are like a microcosm of the world, and there are all kinds of people appearing every quarter of an hour every hour, and strange things can happen.

Zhiruo let Luoshuang come over an hour in advance to book the best private room, the furniture in the room is mahogany, and there is a chaise longue that can be sat and reclined, the couch and chair are placed with soft dark red cushions, embroidered with auspicious or wishful words, and there are several calligraphy and paintings of different sizes hung on the wall.

When Pan Jiaming and the others came in, they first found that the pretty maid next to "Qi Mubai" had changed from one to two. Luoying Luoshuang's mask is not as big as Zhiruo, and it can basically be seen that the two are very similar in appearance.

Because they had long heard that Qi Mubai had two maids by his side, Pan Jiaming and Xiao Feng didn't feel strange, they were still thinking about why there was one less. Pan Jiaming secretly complained: Twin sisters?

It is not surprising that the emperor will pay attention to such a young talent. The emperor paid the most attention to the art of trade-offs, the left and the right, the three provinces and six departments, until the balance between the princes and the mutual restraint between the harem concubines.

In the same way, the super-rich businessmen who often affect the economy of Daying also need checks and balances. The imperial court needs a few more such business giants, not one or two monopolies. Whether it is dominance in court politics, military power, or economy, it may threaten the absolute power of the emperor.

Since his accession to the throne, he has vigorously promoted commerce and developed the economy, and many active merchants have emerged in various industries, from which a group of imperial merchants with exquisite skills and excellent quality goods have been selected. However, what displeased the emperor was that there were too few giants.

There is a saying among the people: If the Luo family sneezes, or the Tian family coughs twice, the entire Daying economy will be cold. This kind of situation is something that the emperor is very unhappy to see, Da Ying's surname is Ouyang, and he doesn't want anyone else to be able to control Da Ying's economic lifeline.

Fortunately, the Luo family has an ancestral motto that is only loyal to the emperor, and the four generations of the family have adhered to their duties and never stood in line. And the Tian family, it seems that they have been a little too active in the past two years, and they are more and more low-key on the face, but more and more bouncing on the inside, which is often the most dangerous......

Before leaving Beijing, the emperor asked Pan Jiaming to play chess, and once mentioned Qi Mubai, who was born in the south, and said: "Since you have traveled south, you might as well contact this person, there are talented people in the country, and we also need new business talents." ”

Pan Jiaming pursed his lips, this was the main reason why he let Qi Mubai treat him casually.

After the guest of honor sat down, Zhiruo greeted: "I will order a few time-consuming signature dishes first, and then take a look at some of the things that you can see, don't be polite." ”

Xiao Feng smiled and said: "No, no, who doesn't know that Brother Qi is a golden finger and not bad money, since we are here, we will definitely not be polite." When Brother Qi's shop opens in the capital, we will invite you back, there is a century-old shop in the capital Jufulai, and the roast duck really has nothing to say. ”

Zhiruo smiled: "Yes, if you have a chance, you must try it in the future." ”

"Don't be so angry," Xiao Feng quipped, "If you don't fight, you don't know each other, they are all young men with similar temperaments, and they are still easy-going." Zihe's surname is Pan, he is the son of the British Princess, my name is Xiao Feng, the word is handsome, and I will say that we must be slightly older than Brother Qi, and it is okay for you to call us big brother. ”

In other words, there are really few people who can make Xiao Feng look at him, so everyone in the capital has a high evaluation of him, arrogant and so on. Except for Pan Jiaming and Xiang Junran, there are almost no peers he has more friends with.

Knowing that the tenacity, optimism and unyielding arrogance of the sisters and brothers, he appreciates and agrees with them, and is also happy to run to Meizhuang with Pan Jiaming. In his opinion, Meizhuang not only has a good scenery and relaxed atmosphere, but also gets along with everyone in Meizhuang, especially the two brothers Mingze. It's a pity that Miss Yin is a woman, otherwise, such a person who is wise, responsible, decisive and calm, he is really willing to be a confidant, and Miss Yin's temperament is as light as a chrysanthemum and as easy as a plum attracts him.

Therefore, now that he meets Qi Mubai, who has a temperament similar to Miss Yin and has experienced a mysterious legend, there is no difference between men and women, can't he wait to call others brothers?

Xiao Feng's rare enthusiasm made Zhiruo secretly slander: Didn't you say that Xiao Bangyan was quite arrogant? Is it really good to be so familiar? Fortunately, he still knows that he has a big support, hehe.

Of course, this can't be said, and he has to respond happily: "Brother Xiao, Brother Pan." She always heard Ming Ze say, "Brother Xiao Feng is good at talking," but because of the difference between men and women, she really has never seen Xiao Feng so lively and talkative.

"It's Brother Xiao and Second Brother Pan," taking a sip of tea, Pan Jiaming corrected seriously, "I'll be nineteen years after July, and Xiao Feng is one year older than me." ”

Zhiruo almost couldn't help but roll his eyes again, what eldest brother and second brother, are they going to engage in Taoyuan three alliances? Second brother? It's really enough for two! The attitude in the afternoon is so bad, at this time, he will call him brother and brother, are they persuaded by Xiao Feng?

However, she is here to apologize instead of quarreling and hating, people don't want to be the eldest brother to be the second brother, she is more meaningless than that, anyway, these two people are older than her, and they have helped her, with their current friendship with Meizhuang, she should be called a brother, so she is as good as a stream: "Yes, Brother Xiao, Second Brother Pan." ”

If it was Miss Yin, she would definitely give him a little white eye again. Pan Jiaming was a little disappointed, and there was a sense of relief, there is still a difference between men and women, women are always more delicate and less open-minded, aren't they?

If you know how to read minds, you are really going to roll your eyes: Open-minded ghost, follow your two to be open-minded? Machismo guy! If you are willing to transfer Tianshan Yuxue to me, then you are really open-minded.

Not to mention, Zhiruo is really thinking about that hairpin, if it weren't for Pan Jiaming's bad attitude towards Qi Mubai, she really wanted to open this mouth. No, since the eldest brother and the second brother are called, if there is a chance, she doesn't mind being cheeky and climbing up the pole once.

Pan Jiaming asked casually while looking at the menu: "Where is Mu Bai from, what kind of taste, are there any taboos?"

Mu Bai: Zhiruo feels that his hairs are about to stand up, should this guy's style change be so scary?

It's just that the belly slander is slander, her hair has not yet stood up, the banner of the battle has been fully erected, and Pan Jiaming has begun to test it? The Yin family has been in the north for generations, and she Yin Zhiruo was born and raised in the capital, while Jin Qi is in the south

"My ancestral home is in the South China Sea, but I was born and raised overseas," Zhiruo had prepared for a long time, and calmly replied with a cup of tea, "There is no taboo, it can be sweet, sour, salty and spicy, and it can be delicious." ”

"Oh?" Xiao Feng became more interested, "The third brother grew up overseas? Can you understand the words there?" I have met a few overseas merchants, and one or two who often come and go to Daying are okay, they can speak our Chinese, and the others are like bird language. "He also has a part of the seagoing business, and he has met with the merchant a few times.

"Well, since I was a child, I have been speaking Chinese at home and speaking outside," Zhiruo nodded without pressure, "so the words are as smooth to me as Chinese." She met a few business people in the inn in Jiangzhou, and found that what they spoke was exactly the English she spoke in modern times, and she understood every word.

Looking at the obvious surprise on Pan Jiaming's face, Zhiruo was very proud, well, she has to thank Xiao Feng for asking such a question, Qi Mubai, who grew up overseas, will speak, and Yin Zhiruo, a young lady who grew up in the capital, will not.

However, Xiao Feng's self-cooked kung fu is really enough, how long has it been since he sat down? The dishes have not been ordered, and he has already changed from the son of Qi to the brother of Qi, and then to the third brother. Nima, it's not so fast to ride a rocket, right?

What Zhiruo, who was secretly scolding Xiao Feng for being cheeky, didn't expect that Pan Jiaming actually asked in English: "Is that great, we can ask you for help if we have the chance." "It's slow, not very smooth, but it makes it clear.

Nani's eyes widened, suppressed the apprehension in his heart, and replied in English: "Of course, if there is that opportunity, I am honored. "Her English is naturally much more fluent than Pan Jiaming. But...... But...... Could it be that this guy is really wearing it too? Zhiruo remembered what Pan Jiaming said before: "Apology is useful, why do you want the government to do it?"

It's not right, if Pan Jiaming really wore it, and the cakes and milk tea that were the snacks had already exposed her, even if Pan Jiaming didn't come to recognize his fellow countrymen, he shouldn't have shown such surprise and expectation for milk tea, right?

Zhiruo's stunned expression and a little out of control made Xiao Feng happy: "Don't be deceived by the quilt, he will only have a few simple words and some words." This guy has a good memory and learns everything quickly, and every time that Brooke comes over and teaches him a few words and a sentence or two, he writes them down. ”

Pan Jiaming also said curtly: "What you said, I only understood 'of course', and 'help'. He didn't know why, but he suddenly asked that sentence in an impulsive voice. When "Qi Mubai" really answered him, he was embarrassed again, people said that they were much more decent than him, and they were no different from Brooke. No, it seems to sound better.

"I see," Zhiruo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "I really thought that Second Brother Pan had also been overseas, but you are really good, that sentence is very good." "He has a talent for language! This kind of Pan Jiaming will be treated as a waste by most people, it's really ...... I don't know who is the gentleman?

Slow, Fanshang, Brooke, help? It seems that Pan Jiaming and Xiao Feng still have a lot of things that no one knows.

After the topic of the words, Zhiruo could clearly feel that the suspicion in Pan Jiaming's eyes quickly disappeared, and she became more comfortable dealing with these two people. Pan Jiaming asked a lot of questions, such as whether the Qi family has anyone else in Daying, Qi Mubai's business development plan, which industries he plans to participate in, whether he has ever thought about competing for the qualification of the imperial businessman, and so on.

Zhiruo completely put himself in the identity position of Qi Mubai, the descendant of the Golden Qi who had retreated overseas due to his participation in the imperial struggle and the change of imperial power, and answered the relevant questions of Pan Jiaming wisely and skillfully, euphemistically and fully expressing Qi Mubai's ambition for business development and loyalty to the emperor and the imperial court. Of course, it also implies that since the Qi family has made a comeback and intends to recreate brilliance, they are naturally prepared, and not everyone can bully them, so the two brothers don't have to worry about me.

In addition, the Qi family has already suffered a big loss, and has already established a family motto, not to participate in any struggle for imperial power, only to do business, and only to be loyal to the emperor.

Knowing that she is not stupid, let alone untargeted, her words are for Pan Jiaming and the others, and even more for the emperor and other people who are beginning to look at Qi Mubai. Isn't she worried about the sky or thinks too highly of herself, hasn't the prince already started to fight Qi Mubai's idea?

Therefore, please invite this guest, if you know it, you will not lose.

After the atmosphere of being relaxed on the surface but actually hiding the edge slowly faded, Zhiruo looked out the window and said with a smile: "Changyang City is really lively, similar to our Nanyang, there are still quite a lot of people on the street at this time, and many people like to eat in restaurants." ”

Anyway, the big dishes haven't been served yet, there are only three dishes of pickles, peanuts, and cold cucumbers on the table, and Pan Jiaming and the others also walked to the window to look out.

"The capital should be more lively," Pan Jiaming said, "A restaurant with an old sign and a good reputation like Jufulai is full almost every day, and the private rooms must be booked at least one day in advance.

Zhiruo replied: "I went to see it once, but at that time I hadn't opened a shop yet, and I hadn't decided where to start, so I took a very low-key turn, and then after many considerations, I decided to start from the South China Sea, after all, it is the root of the Qi family." ”

Xiao Feng smiled and said: "The third brother is really honest, he was low-key at that time, and now he wants to give his shop a reputation, so he starts to publicize it, and he refuses to be low-key?"

"Zhang Yang is also a kind of hand ...... of yours, third brother?" Pan Jiaming didn't finish speaking, he suddenly stared at a certain place on the street and took two steps to the right, as if he had accidentally discovered something adjusting his gaze, causing Luoshuang, who was originally standing there, to quickly retreat a few steps.

Zhiruo was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything, since she had guessed the true purpose of Pan Jiaming's trip, she could naturally imagine that his move would definitely not be because of discovering beautiful women or something fun.

Sure enough, the next moment, Pan Jiaming whispered to Xiao Feng: "Look, is the child wearing blue clothes in front of the bookstore ......?"

Xiao Feng obviously saw it too, and his voice was full of doubts: "That kid should be knowledgeable, and besides, he is still so young, how can he be?"

Zhiruo was curious, and couldn't help but follow the line of sight of the two of them. (To be continued.) )
