Chapter 56: Points

Who is the Xia family? This question is both difficult and easy to say. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

As a person who came to the Darui Dynasty from modern times, Xiao Jing knows very well: If you want to win the heart of your sister, you must not be black-eyed!

Her age, personality, preferences, family background, girlfriends...... All of this is information that must be collected.

Unless it's a love saint. Otherwise, the pursuit of no purpose will undoubtedly fail, or at least there is little hope.

Ever since Xia Hanxue jumped into Xiao Jing's heart as lightly as a deer, he began to pay attention to everything related to the Xia family. Taking the opportunity to enter the city, he also asked people about the Xia family.

Incredibly, with his investigative skills, he couldn't ask even the slightest thing that was really useful.

Whether it is a peddler or a pawn or a literati in a restaurant or teahouse, as long as he talks about the Xia family, he is secretive and refuses to say more.

From the sporadic words, all he could know was that Xia Hanxue's father was named Xia Honghan, and he was the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites in the current dynasty.

Nope.

If you want to ask something more, they either don't know, or they just turn away with disdain.

Speaking of which, the popularity of the word "Xia Family Shuangbi" is higher than that of the Xia family itself. It's a pity that when many people mention "Shuangbi" or something, they only know it and don't know why, so Xiao Jing only found out that Qin Ziqian and Xia Hanxue are cousins not long ago.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jing said frankly: "Xiao really doesn't know much, only that Miss Qin's uncle is an official in the court. ā€

Qin Ziqian let out a long sigh. If you use four words to interpret her expression at the moment, then the most appropriate must be "sure enough".

After a long while, she spoke, "Cher, she ......"

As soon as she said three words, Qin Ziqian closed her mouth. She was usually used to calling Xue'er, and Shicai had some emotion in her heart, so she blurted out this title.

Xiao Jing asked quietly, "What's wrong with Miss Xia?" ā€

Qin Ziqian calmed down, lowered her voice and said, "My cousin is the only daughter in the family. Since she was a child, her uncle has had extremely high expectations for her. ā€

Xiao Jing nodded. This matter is very understandable, which lady of the main house of a high-ranking family is not held like a golden branch and jade leaf?

He waited quietly for the following. Who knows, Miss Qin seemed to be dumb suddenly, and never said half a word again.

Xiao Jing looked at Qin Ziqian silently. The air seemed to freeze, and the guests on the side saw the two of them staring at each other wordlessly, and thought that the two of them were not speculative after talking for half a while.

After a long time, Xiao Jing suddenly smiled: "Thank you Miss Qin for your advice." It's just that Xiao is not an ordinary person. To put it mildly, I also have high expectations for my future. ā€

Qin Ziqian was stunned for a moment, and then chuckled. She had seen many young scribes who thought highly of themselves, and even those people, no one had ever boasted about themselves like Xiao Jing.

"Okay, there's something else going on, so that's all for today, right?" Xiao Jing called Xiao Er to settle the account and said, "If Miss Qin joins the Mirror News, next time I will be the east in Puhua Town." When the time comes, we'll have a good time. ā€

With that, he stood up. Before he could salute, the conversation between the shopkeeper and Xiao Er floated into his ears:

"Why is Hanjiang Building's business so good?"

"The little ones don't know wow! Not many people come to us these days, and the kitchen masters are listless......"

"Is it because Hanjianglou voted in the mirror newspaper, what is that called...... Right, advertising? This gang of people who killed a thousand knives lured all the guests away, and gave them no way to live? ā€

Xiao Jing secretly wiped his sweat. Lao Tzu has published two advertisements in the newspaper to explain that at the beginning of next month, he will talk to businessmen who are interested in advertising space, and you don't even look at it, blame me?

He cleared his throat and walked up to the point, "This shopkeeper, you are right. I also heard that whether it is the Hanjiang Building in the city or the Huibin Building outside the city, they have placed advertisements in the Mirror Newspaper, so they can be so prosperous. In other words, it seems that the Mirror newspaper says that it is going to recruit advertisers, why don't you try it? ā€

"Advertising? Why spend that extra money! The shopkeeper said disapprerovingly: "Don't hide it from this guest officer, my house is a time-honored brand on this street, and it is ten years earlier than it Hanjiang Building!" You ate this meal, you give a review, my family's wine and food are worse than its Hanjiang Building? ā€

Xiao Jing smiled: "You really don't have to say anything about your family's dishes. ā€

As soon as the shopkeeper's face turned pale, he changed his words again and said, "It's just that the fragrance of wine used to be afraid of deep alleys, but now the fragrance of wine is also afraid of deep alleys." Shopkeeper, let's not say anything else, as long as the three words 'Hanjiang Building' are published in the newspaper, how many people will think of the restaurant after reading it? ā€

The more Xiao Jing spoke, the more excited he became, and his voice gradually increased: "What new dishes are in Hanjiang Building, what good wine is entered, and what young and beautiful wine prostitutes come, others will know immediately; How warm and thoughtful Hanjiang Lou entertains guests, others know it when they read the newspaper. Even if you are an old customer here, you see the benefits of Hanjiang Tower in the newspaper every day, but I am afraid that you will run to other people's side, right? ā€

The shopkeeper was silent, looking a little moved. Xiao Jing, who knows how to accept it when he sees it, smiled slightly and said, "This is all a little shallow view below." As for whether or not to advertise, it's up to you to decide. ā€

With that said, he walked briskly back to the table. Although the best three advertising slots were given to the Shao family, the remaining ones would not necessarily be bad if they were operated properly. Everything has to have a beginning, and merchants have to re-adapt to this new mode of competition, as many businessmen had to experience in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China.

It was Qin Ziqian who rolled his eyes to greet Xiao Jing.

"I thought that Xiao Gongzi was tall and arrogant, but who knew that he was a profiteer who smelled of copper and got out of it." She said with a cold face: "The gentleman is righteous, and the villain is profitable." What kind of self should I be? ā€

Xiao Jing glanced at her and laughed: "The girl buttoned up such a big hat, it really made Xiao embarrassed." However, there is one thing I must make clear: morality and righteousness are naturally the pursuit of my generation; However, even a gentleman has to live on the fireworks of the world. If the newspaper does not have this word "profit", it will not be able to develop and maintain. As long as it doesn't violate morality, why not pursue profit? A gentleman loves money, and he takes it in the right way! ā€

After saying that, he saluted goodbye and walked out of the restaurant.

Today's meal can be regarded as a thank you to Miss Qin. After all, she took the risk of making a shallow statement and made a point, and she regarded me as a friend.

Cher...... Is it?

Well, that's a nice name......
