Chapter 186: Cousins
Chao Suwen smiled awkwardly, and Meng Qingzhu immediately said embarrassedly: "I see, this time it is indeed me who is presumptuous, I hope Miss Hua will not mind." ”
When Su Wen heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then replied with a smile: "Meng Shizi is polite, this is just a misunderstanding, how can I take it to heart?" It's really my brother who wants to pay for this store, and I'm just going to make a detailed reference for him and come over to see it in advance. Therefore, Meng Shizi does not need to give such a generous gift. ”
Before the words fell, Zhao Feiyan took over with a smile on her face and said, "I have long heard that Miss Hua is a careful person, and now it seems that this is indeed the case." Before the senior brother came, Miss Hua had already begun to bargain. ”
Hearing her say this, Su Wen was speechless in his heart. Did Zhao Feiyan want to make the words so obvious, thinking that a few people present couldn't hear them? Saying that she is careful is just a pretense, and the ultimate goal is to say that she overstepped her responsibilities and did what she shouldn't have done. She has seen a lot of this kind of little trick, so she won't take it to heart.
Smiling at Zhao Feiyan, Su Wen pretended not to care and said: "It's not okay if you're not careful, let's open a dim sum shop together, and someone always has to worry more." ”
Hearing such a fluttering answer, Zhao Feiyan was choked, and she didn't know how to fight back on the spot? Fortunately, she has a lot of social experience, so she didn't show any gaffes. She smiled and nodded yes, as if she was unaffected. It's a pity that all the people present are human spirits, how can they not see her true emotions?
"By the way, when Miss Hua answered Meng Shizi's question just now, she was stunned for a moment, what was she thinking at that time?" Probably unwilling to be frustrated, Zhao Feiyan was silent for a while, and then made a comeback again.
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the other three people present changed. They did see Su Wen stunned for a moment just now, but they didn't think much about it at the time. Now that Zhao Feiyan asked like this, there seems to be a different kind of ambiguity, as if Su Wen has some ulterior thoughts about Meng Qingzhu.
glanced at her lightly. Su Wen said casually: "I was surprised when I heard Senior Brother Meng Shizi call Cousin Meng Shizi just now, so I was stunned for a moment. ”
Hearing this, Mo Yi immediately said with a sudden face: "I forgot to tell you." My grandmother was an aunt from the Hou Mansion of Chang'an. Although my grandmother has been dead for many years, our two families have always been in love. Every time I accompanied my mother back to my ancestral home in the capital, I would go to the Chang'an Marquis Mansion to meet the elders. ”
After listening to his explanation, Su Wen understood the relationship between the two of them. After a long time, the two marquis mansions are still in-laws, and it seems that the relationship between the nobles is really complicated.
Thinking of this, Su Wen immediately remembered what Mo Yi had said. It is said that the first Marquis of Yongning and the Marquis of Chang'an were brothers of life and death, and both were awarded the title of Marquis at the same time. Needless to say, just from the two similar titles of Yongning Hou and Chang'an Hou, you can see how iron the relationship between the two of them is.
Later, although the two passed away one after another. But the intimacy between the two provinces has been preserved. When it came to Mo Yi's grandfather's area, the two of them also got married to Qin and Jin.
"I see, no wonder the senior brother is called Cousin Meng Shizi. It's interesting this time, the four of you are all related to each other, and it's a beautiful thing to say. "I learned about the relationship between the two Hou Mansions. While these thoughts flashed in Su Wen's heart, he didn't forget to joke.
Hearing her say this, Meng Qingzhu immediately replied with a smile: "Miss Hua didn't say it, I really didn't find out, it seems that this time it was indeed a coincidence." ”
Su Wen listened, nodded, and then said with a smile: "That's right." There should be an arrangement for a few people to come out and play together, right? I still have some things to do here, and I guess I will be busy all day, so I can't go with a few of them. Fortunately, there are senior brothers and Miss Bai here, and they must all know about the fun in Yunzhou. ”
"I heard that my cousin was going to choose a location with Miss Hua to open a store, so we came here to see the excitement. It just so happened that Meng Shizi was going to inspect the industry in Yunzhou, the Marquis of Chang'an. Only then did I come out with Miss Bai. Glancing at her, Zhao Feiyan immediately replied with a smile.
Hearing her words, Su Wen suddenly felt speechless in his heart for a while. What did she mean by this, she was obviously suspected of misleading the masses, and those who didn't know it thought that Mo Yi had deliberately taken her out to play. It's a pity that all those present are insiders. No one can see her little bit of caution, but she is too lazy to break it.
Without waiting for Su Wen to speak, Mo Yi said with a displeased face: "Cousin, you can't be quiet." Cousin Qingzhu came to Yunzhou for the first time, and I didn't want anyone to stiffen the atmosphere.
was criticized so sharply by Mo Yi in front of everyone, Zhao Feiyan suddenly felt that his face was gloomy. If she was in the capital, she would have thrown her sleeves away immediately. The problem is that this is Yunzhou City, and her background is really useless. Mo said that it was the two princes of the Hou Mansion, and even Su Wen and Bai Wei didn't take her too seriously.
According to the injustice in her heart, Zhao Feiyan immediately showed the appearance of a good girl. Although she still had a smile on her face, she had cursed Su Wen a thousand times in her heart.
I have to say that Zhao Feiyan's usual performance in the social circle of the capital is not so bad. The reason why there is such a performance today is caused by psychological imbalance. As for the reason for the psychological imbalance, it goes without saying that nature is inseparable from Mo Yi's unusually cold attitude towards her.
This time when she came to Yunzhou, Zhao Feiyan secretly played the doctrine of attacking Mo Yi in her heart. In her opinion, with her talent and beauty, it was easy to capture Mo Yi's young heart, but unexpectedly encountered Su Wen, a strong enemy.
In order to show her talent, Zhao Feiyan challenged Su Wen again and again. It's a pity that although she is full of confidence every time, she ends up failing in the end, and she doesn't even ask for a stepping stone to move forward. After a long time, her psychology is inevitably unbalanced, and she loses her usual stability when she starts doing things.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere at the scene, Su Wen immediately smiled and said, "So that's the case, I thought you already had an arrangement." Since you came here to see the excitement, let's do the activity together, and you can also help with a reference by the way. ”
Hearing her say this, Mo Yi's face immediately showed a look of satisfaction, and at the same time he said with approval: "Well, it should be like this." I heard that my cousin and Miss Bai helped the family take care of the business early on, and they are both good hands, so this time I can help the two of us take a closer look. Although Su Wen and I have been in contact with some business matters, after all, we are limited and our experience is definitely lacking. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Feiyan almost bit a mouthful of silver teeth. Mo Yi asked me and Su Wen one by one, as if the two of them were together, and she was ignored intentionally or unintentionally.
"Cousin, you're too humble to say that. Although I am far away in the capital, I have long heard of Miss Hua's An Hetang. Being able to run a medical clinic is not something that can be done with medical skills. Hearing Mo Yi's words, Meng Qingzhu immediately smiled and complimented.
Seeing this scene, Bai Wei immediately smiled and said, "Yes, you brothers don't have to compliment each other." The important thing now is to take this shop down, and we have something to say later. ”
After listening to her words, Su Wen nodded, then turned his head to face Uncle Tian, and asked with a light face: "This Uncle Tian, I wonder if you still want to continue to buy this store?" If you continue, please give a clear answer, and I'll go to another store as soon as possible. ”
When she asked, Uncle Tian's kneeling body on the ground couldn't help but tremble, and he hurriedly replied with fear: "No, no." This store is favored by Miss Hua, how dare the slave get involved. ”
Seeing his appearance, Su Wen couldn't help but think of his arrogant appearance not long ago. It was only then that she understood what the sense of disobedience at the beginning was.
is obviously a minion, but he has to pretend to be an uncle, no wonder he looks so disobedient.
With a sneer in his heart, Su Wen only nodded on the surface, and then turned to the shopkeeper and said, "Boss, it seems that our business will not be able to be done this time." Since you don't think we've had a formal discussion, let's do it for now. I'll look around somewhere else to see if there's a suitable store to sell. ”
Seeing that she had the intention of leaving, the shopkeeper immediately smiled cautiously and said, "Miss Hua, it was the old man who didn't know Mount Tai before, so he did something treacherous. Now that the old man has repented, the previous agreements are naturally still valid. ”
Glancing at him, Su Wen showed a embarrassed expression, and said as if he was quite distressed: "Is it effective?" The problem is that I think the price of 20,000 taels is too high, and I don't want to buy it now. I'd better go elsewhere and maybe get a cheaper one. I'm not in a hurry anyway, it's a big deal to take my time. ”
Hearing her say this, a layer of cold sweat immediately broke out on the head of the shop owner. He has now offended the two hottest characters in Yunzhou, and no one dares to buy this store, so the only choice is to sell it to Mo Yi and Su Wen, otherwise he can only smash it in his hands.
With a determination in his heart, the shopkeeper immediately smiled and said, "Miss Hua, if you think the price is high, we can discuss it again." It's hard to choose a suitable one, and then you want to pick a suitable one, where is it so easy? Instead of starting all over again, let's renegotiate the price. ”
"Well, in that case, I'm not going to look elsewhere yet. It's just a matter of price, I don't know what the boss thinks? Just be clear, if it's too high, I don't necessarily want to. Seeing that he lowered his posture, Su Wen replied reluctantly.
