With the blessing of Toss Konglan, Pei Qianqian finally walked out of the door.

Seeing Sikong Lan again, he was still so energetic, and waved to her from afar, "Third sister-in-law, here and here, ......"

But today, she is like a frosted eggplant, her face is haggard, her shoulders are weak, if she can't come out to absorb some sunshine, she is not in the mood to pay attention to outsiders.

When she walked into the pavilion, Sikong Lan couldn't help but be surprised, "Third sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?" But feeling unwell? ”

Pei Qianqian sat across from him and shook her head bitterly, "It's nothing." ”

Sikong Lan frowned, as if he didn't understand, "Sister-in-law Sanwang, why don't you let Brother Sanwang see if you are unwell?" ”

Pei Qianqian pursed her lips disappreciatively. What can that guy see? Besides, isn't the way she is going to die now caused by him?

Seeing that Sikong Lan had been staring at herself nervously, she forced out a smile, "What is the matter with King Rongxiang looking for me?" ”

Seeing that she intended to change the topic, although Sikong Lan was worried about her body, he still replied to her question, "Sister-in-law Sanwang, I really have something to ask you about looking for you today." ”

Pei Qianqian smiled politely, "It's okay for King Rongxiang to say something straightforwardly, don't dare to ask for advice." ”

Sikong Lan laughed, "Third Sister-in-law, don't be modest. Outsiders say you're good for nothing, that's because they're stupid. I've confirmed it from Brother Sanwang, and you're smart. ”

Pei Qianqian twitched the corners of her mouth self-deprecatingly. Clever? She can't even win her own freedom, and she is still being locked up like a prisoner, which is what a smart person should have?

"King Rongxiang, you say, what is it for?"

"Sister-in-law Sanwang, that's the case, I recently encountered a difficult incident and was deceived."

Pei Qianqian raised her eyebrows lightly, a little unconvinced, "Someone else lied to you?" ”

Sikong Lan sighed distressedly, "I also just started trading, and I don't know the depth of the water. Not long ago, I bought some rice grain from a merchant from other places, but after paying the silver, I found that half of the rice and grain had been manipulated. ”

Pei Qianqian was surprised, "Then why don't you reason with the other party?" ”

Sikong Lan lowered his head, and his voice became deeper and lower, "The other party took the money and ran away, and I don't dare to make a big deal about it...... In the palace, I was often ridiculed for my incompetence, and my father always looked at them...... is this business transaction, and the capital is still borrowed from the third brother Wang...... I know I'm stupid and shouldn't trust people too much......"

Pei Qianqian squinted her eyes and listened to him quietly. The handsome young man in front of him has an unattainable identity as an ordinary person, but the inferiority complex he exudes is not false......

There is one thing she admires about him, and that is his sanity and self-motivation. Knowing that the road to fighting for imperial power is difficult and bumpy, maybe one day he will be dug and buried, and he knows the current affairs and withdraws from that road, this mentality, in the eyes of some people, is weak and incompetent, but in her opinion, it is the wisest.

"King Rongxiang, can I ask you how big your business is?"

"Uh......" Sikong Lan looked up at her, although he didn't know the meaning of her question, but he still replied truthfully, "There is a rice shop, and there are two cloth villages and a restaurant, but the business is so-so." ”

"Hmm." Pei Qianqian nodded calmly, but she was still quite surprised. This kid is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and his courage is not small. fledgling business, actually set up so many shops, and still borrowed money.

"Alas......" Sikong Lan couldn't help but sigh again, his fair face was as dark as a cloud, "I was deceived this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to make much money this year, and I don't know when I will be able to pay back the silver taels I owe to the three royal brothers?" ”

Pei Qianqian was puzzled, "Then the purpose of your coming to me this time?" ”

Sikong Lan touched the back of his head and smiled stupidly at her, "Sister-in-law Sanwang, I can't help but come to you...... I just want to...... Want to ......"

He didn't 'think' for a long time, Pei Qianqian was a little impatient, "If you have anything to say, what do you stammer?" "Could it be that he wants to borrow money from her? Then he is too blind!

Sikong Lan lowered his head, "Sister-in-law of the Three Princes, I want to ask you to intercede with the Third Brother and let him ...... Ask him to give me some time. ”

Hearing this, Pei Qianqian couldn't cry or laugh, "You're not mistaken, right?" I'm going to intercede? Are you sure he'll listen to me? ”

This kid is clever and clever, but he is too naïve.

Sikong Lan raised his head again, with a hint of firmness in his clear eyes, "Sister-in-law of the Three Princes, you go and tell the Three Princes that it will be done!" ”

Pei Qianqian was a little speechless, she didn't understand where his confidence came from, not to mention that Sikong Styx would give her face, that guy could wake up with a smile if she didn't give her a cold face.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Sikong Lan begged, "Sister-in-law Sanwang, you can help me once, if I go and tell Brother Sanwang, he will definitely discipline me fiercely, and I am afraid that he will never trust me again in the future." ”

Pei Qianqian wanted to refuse, but looking at his pitiful appearance, she couldn't say anything if she refused. Although the identities of her and Sikong Lan are very different, they can experience the same things. In a big family, they are all the objects of exclusion and suppression.

Frowning, she said seriously, "King Rongxiang, I really can't do anything to plead, or I'll help you find a way to make money." ”

Sikong Lan was a little disappointed, "It's good if you don't lose money, how easy is it to make money?" ”

Pei Qianqian didn't go around the bend with him, "If you sell this batch of rice grain, you can't sell it at a high price, instead of losing money, it's better to keep these rice grains for other uses, and let's just buy good rice and grain and sell them." ”

Sikong Lan grasped the point of her words, "Keep it for other purposes?" What good is that rice if it is not sold? Even if you eat it yourself, you can't finish it for a year. ”

Pei Qianqian smiled lightly, "Who said to keep it for yourself?" I mean take that rice and give it away. ”

Hearing this, Sikong Lan instantly frowned, looking worried about cutting his flesh, "Give it away?" How's that going to work? Am I not losing more? ”

Pei Qianqian said, "It's impossible to sell these rice at a good price, instead of thinking about how to sell them, it's better to find a way to improve their use value." Aren't your shops new? Since the business is mediocre, then we want to make the business better, even if we don't make a lot of money, we must increase our popularity among our peers and overshadow them. ”

Sikong Lan not only did not stretch his brows, but wrinkled more and more tightly, and became more and more confused about her mentions, "My shop is newly opened, how dare I compare it with my peers?" ”

He saw that the little sister-in-law in front of him had different insights from ordinary people, but he couldn't come nonsense. After all, this is related to his own silver, and he really has to lose his capital, but he is full of debts, even if he doesn't eat or drink to save money, he can't pay back the three royal brothers' nearly 10,000 silver taels.

Pei Qianqian glanced at him, "You listen to me first, what I said is just a marketing method, not that you will lose your money." If you want to sell these rice grains, and you have a headache and can't sell them at a good price, what should you do, you can only use them as a tool for shouting. The business of your other shops is sluggish, which is also related to the fact that you have just opened, why, it's not just a lack of popularity. I think if you do some giveaway activities in other shops, such as buying cloth and giving rice, going to restaurants to eat and giving rice, and buying rice at rice shops and giving rice...... In this way, the people who get the gifts will definitely be happy, and when the time comes, there will be more customers. ”

Sikong Lan was surprised by her idea, but it still hurt a little, "Isn't that still a loss?" ”

Pei Qianqian's face lengthened, "What is it if you lose this bit of rice and grain, don't you still earn back the silver when other things are sold?" As long as your shops are opened, you will be able to gain a foothold in the future, and you are still worried about making money? If you add a little publicity, presumably the business will be even more hot. ”

Sikong Lan was even more surprised, "Publicity? Do you want to find more people to shout? ”

"I definitely want to shout, but I have to find someone else to make some leaflets, the more lists, the better, and then find someone to distribute them on the street."

"Leaflets? How? ”

"What about this, I'll make one for you to show in a while, and you can take it back and have people copy it."

Speaking of this, a smile bloomed on Sikong Lan's face again, "Sister-in-law Sanwang, you really have you, you can think of such a method!" Why can't I think of it? ”

Pei Qianqian lowered her head and smiled. He really admires this guy's courage, and he dares to invest heavily in business without anyone's help, if he really loses, it is estimated that this guy has no place to cry.

The two of them chatted in the pavilion for more than half an hour, Leng Ling was in charge of pouring tea and water on the side, and the guards were standing guard around, although they were watched closely, Pei Qianqian's mood was much better.

She has been in the other world for so long, Sikong Lan is the first person who can talk and laugh with her.

This beautiful boy with elegant and noble manners and sunny and lively waves made a deep impression on her. From the conversation, she also knew that Sikong Lan had a difficult time, because his mother died early, he was ostracized by his brothers and sisters since he was a child, and he was still young, and there were several outstanding brothers above, and the emperor did not attach much importance to him. He has some low self-esteem, but he is not depraved, but he sees all these things very thoroughly, so he wisely chooses another way out for himself.

She really likes such a person who knows how to protect herself.

When Sikong Lan left, he didn't forget to remind her, "Sister-in-law Sanwang, if you are unwell, tell Brother Sù Sanwang, don't bear to lose yourself." ”

Pei Qianqian had a smile on her mouth, but she couldn't help but mock in her heart. Isn't that bastard the way she looks?

Seeing Sikong Lan leave, she smiled and walked to the bedroom consciously with her head tilted.

Just as she was about to lie down on the bed, the voice of Qi Feng and Leng Ling whispering came from outside the door. Soon, the door was pushed open, Leng Ling walked in, bowed his head and said, "Princess, the Prime Minister's Mansion sent someone to send a message to ask you to go back tomorrow." ”

"Huh?" Pei Qianqian couldn't help but sneer, "You want me to go back?" What do you do when you go back? ”

"I heard that tomorrow is the birthday of the Prime Minister." Leng Ling replied.

"It's my business!" Pei Qianqian blurted out.

Leng Ling pursed his lips and stopped talking.

Pei Qianqian's face was calm, and she felt disgusted by everything she saw. The Pei family deliberately lured her back, right?

She beat Ye Minru and Pei Rongxin, and turned her face with Pei Wenan, if she were her, she would definitely hate each other to death. Now let her go back to celebrate Pei Wen'an's birthday? Hehe, Pei Wen'an's old thing is not afraid of diaphragm?

Thinking of something, she looked at Leng Ling, who was motionless beside the bed, "Your prince is going too?" ”

Leng Ling said expressionlessly, "Back to the princess, the prince can't go if he has something, he lets you decide for yourself." ”

Pei Qianqian's eyes lit up. He doesn't go?

Of course, she knew that Sikong Dark Night was deliberately making an excuse, the whole capital, I am afraid that he will be the most idle and idle, and he is not afraid of people laughing at such a bad excuse?

Since he didn't go, then she definitely went!

This is a great opportunity to escape......

Thinking of this, she smiled gloomily, and even the gloomy mood that had been in place for many days became brighter, and her bones were strong, and her head didn't hurt anymore. If it weren't for Leng Ling's presence, she would really want to laugh......
