Chapter 41: Talking Business
Bai Mengtan held a cup of black tea and looked around the private room, where there were formats and folk calligraphy and paintings.
pretended to be a serious comment, "I can see that the boss here is also an elegant person like me." ”
Xiao Tingxuan was immediately choked on his throat by a mouthful of tea.
Bai Mengtan saw that he choked on water, and asked with concern, "Second Brother Xiao, are you okay?" ”
Xiao Tingxuan breathed a sigh of relief.
He just felt that the girl in front of him was far away from his interests, so he didn't control his emotions for a while!
And Sanshu, who had been standing at the door with his arms in his arms, was always hostile to Xiao Tingxuan.
You must know that the third princess is the master of her family and the person she likes.
This Xiao Gongzi, if she dared to fight the idea of the third princess, she would definitely draw her sword and cut off his hands.
"Second Brother Xiao, I was killed last night, but fortunately, I had your help, but after leaving Guigu Pavilion, I didn't know the news of my second brother, and I was still wondering, acquaintance was like a dream."
Seeing Bai Mengtan laughing.
Xiao Tingxuan's eyes were full of gentleness.
"You were in a coma last night, but fortunately there was little prince to help, he said that he could take you away, so I was relieved to hand you over to him."
It seems reasonable to listen to his words.
Miki on the side knew that the red-robed ghost-faced people who attacked the Guigu Pavilion had all been subdued. The Xiao Gongzi in front of him was directly thrown out of the ghost market by his master.
Fortunately, he was still quite smart and didn't tell Bai Mengtan what happened.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have shown mercy.
Guigu Pavilion is not, he can offend now.
"But I don't know Second Brother Xiao, how did he know that I was there?" has experienced too many twists and turns in his previous life, even if the man in front of him has helped him, Bai Mengtan will instinctively still be embarrassed and wary.
Xiao Tingxuan smiled softly at the corner of his mouth and poured her a cup of tea.
"If I say by chance, passing by there. Would you believe it? Originally, he thought that Bai Mengtan was just the daughter of an ordinary rich family in Qidu City, but since the ghost market has been separated.
She can not only get the favor of the Lord of the Guigu Pavilion, but also the little king of the Jin Palace.
It only takes him a little investigation to find out her true identity, Her Royal Highness the Third Princess of the Northern Qi Kingdom. No wonder he felt that Bai Mengtan had seven similarities with that person at first glance, but even if they were so carefully compared, they were always two people with different personalities.
But the Xiao family and the Xu family have always been incompatible, and I hope that he will be friendly with these three princesses and will not harm her.
Bai Mengtan is not blind, and from the ghost market, he can see that the elegant son in front of him has a rich family, and he is afraid that he is also the son of the rich family in Qidu City.
It's just that he seems to be surnamed Xiao, so it won't be such a coincidence, he happens to be from Xiao Guifei's mother's family, right?
Bai Mengtan shook his head and denied it. In the previous life, the Xiao family covered the sky in Qidu City with one hand, and all the bad things were done. How could there be such a calm and elegant person as Second Brother Xiao!
It will never be.
Xiao Tingxuan looked at Bai Mengtan's stunned appearance, constantly changing his facial expressions, very cute and cute.
"By the way, why are you going there today?" Xiao Tingxuan asked his doubts, ordinary women don't always buy some clothes and jewelry and eat delicious food.
And these three princesses took their maidservants and ran to the corner of other people's doors to listen to the wall, which is indeed suspicious.
"Hey...... Second brother Xiao, in fact, I came with my own maidservant, and I treated her very well on weekdays, but recently I found that I had lost a lot of things in my boudoir. ”
"Although they are all gadgets that are not worth a few dollars, I will also let them go, as long as they are under my control, they can ask me for help if they have any difficulties. But who knew that this little maid would not change her teachings, and she stole again and again. ”
"This time I made up my mind to check if she was really in trouble."
After hearing this, Xiao Tingxuan agreed with Bai Mengtan's kindness, and at the same time said, "You now know who she is, so you don't have to keep her by your side." ”
Bai Mengtan smiled, if she really let Xixiang go, then how should her next plan go on, "Second Brother Xiao, no." Now that I know that the reason for her theft was caused by his brother's gambling habits, it would be nice if I could solve the problem at the root. ”
"And what do you think?" Xiao Tingxuan was a little more interested in Bai Mengtan's words at this time.
He wondered what this petite girl was going to do next.
"I want his brother to win as much as possible, and end up losing everything. In this way, he can cut off the idea of gambling. ”
Xiao Tingxuan frowned, how did he hear and think, Bai Mengtan was deliberately digging a trap to make people jump.
However, he appreciated such a person a little more, saying that at least this little girl would not be the master of bullying.
"This favor, I can help one or two in the down, I don't have to do business all year round, but there are a lot of doors."
"Second Brother Xiao, you should really be willing to help me." Bai Mengtan cheered happily.
She was worried that she couldn't find anyone to help.
"Three princesses......" Sanshu wanted to interject, but it can be seen that Bai Mengtan was happy to patronize, so he had to give up.
Bai Mengtan had already seen what Sanshu meant, such a trivial matter, as long as she spoke. The identity of the elder brother of the Ghost Valley Pavilion is not a problem.
But she felt that she couldn't rely on everything, and her brother had to solve it.
She had to be strong, too.
The two were in the teahouse and had a good conversation.
Xiao Tingxuan is erudite and talented, which makes her envious, and he is good at business, from his mouth.
Bai Mengtan was inspired, and there were a lot of good ideas for doing business.
For example, the existing Shaya Zhai, although there are many varieties in it, there are many rouge gouache makeup that are not long enough, and it is easy to spend makeup when it encounters water.
If she could combine what she had learned in another time and space, wouldn't the incense powder technique make a lot of money.
And Xiao Tingxuan, on the other side, was also deeply shocked by the whimsical ideas in Bai Mengtan's mouth.
In the past, it was all men who did business, but it is very rare for a woman to have such a bold vision that surpasses that of men. Even if she is the eldest princess, Bai Mengsha's Shaya Zhai is also the same, with the name of the Xiao family, but she has never carefully sorted out the things in the store, and every time she comes to the store, she will only come to choose one or two of them for her own use.
Forced to be in the Xiao family, he is just a concubine. He knew very well that the Xiao family had broken his career, and Concubine Xiao left him just because she took a fancy to his unique business hand.
If he can really partner with Bai Mengtan and accumulate a certain amount of wealth for himself privately, even if he is swept away by the Xiao family that day, he can still start a new business.
"If the virtuous brother is willing, he will discuss the great plan with the brother and collect all the wealth of the world." Xiao Tingxuan's eyes were shining.
It's not like a joke at all.
Collect the wealth of the world.
Such a grand ambition, Bai Mengtan once dared not think of it, but the times have changed.
Who doesn't want to do it if she has money, and besides, she also promised her brother that she would help him seize the rivers and mountains of Yanbei, so naturally there are few places to use money.
"Okay, with the words of Second Brother Xiao, the younger brother must be duty-bound."
Because Bai Mengtan was still dressed as a man at this time, Xiao Tingxuan couldn't expose her in person.
As the days passed, Bai Mengtan was busy developing new products for the rouge shop.
Every day, I don't forget to go to Fengyi Hall to say hello.
Since she took Xia Yeteng to Queen Xu late at night and healed.
Queen Xu's condition has also recovered a lot by the day, her complexion is much more ruddy than before, the time of coma has gradually changed, and the phenomenon of hemoptysis has not appeared.
Xia Yeteng's place, although Bai Mengtan told Miki not to tell the prince brother about the affairs outside the palace, but Mitsuki still told the truth in front of Xia Yeteng.
Compared to offending the third princess, her master is relatively much more terrifying.
After returning from the ghost market, Xia Yeteng learned from Bai Xiyang that the man who accompanied Bai Mengtan to the ghost market was Xiao Tingxuan, who was born in the second room of the Xiao family.
However, he still has some ability, and the Xiao family took away his right to enter the official career, and he can also rely on his own ingenuity to tie Xiao Guifei's thighs.
not only allowed him to win the right to operate all the shops of the Xiao family, but also made some of the crumbling businesses of the Xiao family prosperous.
Become the only large commercial household in the capital of Qi.
But I don't know why he wanted to get close to Bai Mengtan, could it be arranged by Concubine Xiao? But Xia Yeteng quickly denied this speculation, and Xiao Guifei's methods really wanted to attack Bai Mengtan, and there was definitely a better candidate than Xiao Tingxuan.
He could only send someone to observe secretly, as long as Xiao Tingxuan dared to do anything to hurt Bai Mengtan, he would definitely not spare him.
Since the little girl wants to do it, what she wants to do, as long as she is happy, Natsuyoto will be a bystander for the time being.
Bai Mengtan was making the pineapple cake, and planned to bring it to Xia Yeteng, and by the way, he asked him for some tocolytic pills for the queen mother.
At this time, Zhuzhu brought back a person from the backyard who was Xixiang, with simple clothes and a haggard face. Not as glamorous as the former maid.
Bai Mengtan saw that the big fish was hooked, how could he let it go easily.
"Xixiang, what's going on with you? Zhuzhu didn't quickly help her sit down. Bai Mengtan said that he didn't mean to help her at all.
Xixiang also guessed that it was a fact that last time she and the eldest princess were in and out, they almost hurt Bai Mengtan.
It was in vain that the third princess was sincere to her, but who could be sincere in this deep palace, she just wanted to live well, wanted to live better than others, why not.
"Third princess, please save me, as long as you can give me the silver, you are willing to let me do anything."
"Would you like to do anything? But I don't have much more for you to do here. Bai Mengtan carefully put the pineapple cake on the plate into the food plate. Brother Shizi loves to be exquisite, and last time she spilled the soup she brought, she refused to drink her.
"Third princess, the slave knows that you are a bodhisattva, but in fact, the person who the slave and maid want to serve has always been the third princess, but you were arranged to the eldest princess by the grandmother in charge."
Finally packed all the pineapple cakes, Bai Mengtan patted his little hand stained with powdered sugar, and looked at it again with satisfaction, at this time he was as anxious as the western fragrance of ants on a hot pot.
"For the sake of your heart, why not help you, but I've been researching sachets recently, and no one can give me some advice, I heard Zhuzhu say that you are good friends with the maids in the palace, and even Concubine Xiao's palace has a lot of good sisters from you."
"It would be nice to listen to their advice." Bai Mengtan's face was melancholy.
When Xixiang heard it, it was not easy to ask her to sell a sachet.
"Third princess, you can hold this matter on the slave maid, and it can definitely help you ask about the preferences of the sachet."
Bai Mengtan chuckled, "This is Xixiang, you want to help yourself, this palace has no intention of forcing you, you also know that my embroidery has not been my strong point since I was a child, if I am disliked by others, then what should I do." For medicinal herbs and spices, Bengong doesn't know too much, and I hope Xixiang can help me improve one or two. ”
"Third princess, where are you talking about, it is a blessing for the slave to be able to do things for you." Xixiang said flatteringly.
