Chapter XXXVIII
Ling Zuo and Xia Er were born to be a pair of enemies, they didn't like each other, and there were many cynicisms and for tat along the way, which added a lot of fun to the boring journey.
"Can you two stop for a while," Ling You's face was dished, "My head is being argued by you." ”
Why are these two so noisy, so that he wants to feed them a dumb medicine every minute, in order to seek peace for half an hour.
The two replied in unison, "Hmph." ”
Looking at the two people who were desperately trying to kill each other with their eyes even if they kept their mouths shut, Lu Anjin shook his head and smiled helplessly, "Ling You, how far is it?" ”
"Less than ten miles."
"That's very good," Lu Anjin breathed a sigh of relief, "It's a long journey, the journey is lonely, I can't stand it anymore." ”
There is a black line on the right side of Ling, there are these two living treasures, and there is no reason for loneliness on the road.
After entering the city, the carriage went straight to the prefect's mansion, and Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu stood at the gate of the mansion early and waited, watching the carriage stop, and immediately went to greet him.
"Jin'er, how are you doing?" Mrs. Lu looked at her emaciated pretty face distressedly, and suddenly burst into tears, "You have lost weight!" ”
Master Lu is also full of concern, but his father's love is like a mountain, and he can't express his mother's unique tenderness.
"Daddy, mother, don't worry, I'm fine."
Lu Anjin thought of Qi Xiaoyun and his merciless refusal, his eyes were deep and his heart ached.
"Come back and rest for a good life, my mother misses you very much."
Lu Anjin nodded obediently. She was really tired from going back and forth during this time.
She grabbed Mrs. Lu's arm and said coquettishly: "I miss my mother too." ”
It's just that the ideal is very plump, but the reality is always so skinny.
The next day, the sky was clear, and it was a good weather for visiting friends. Lu Anjin didn't have the interest in strolling in the garden, she nested in the study, and decided to be a bookworm for a few days.
"Miss, Second Master Li is here."
"Who?"
Ling You was speechless, "Li Jiaxing." ”
Lu Anjin pondered for a moment, and then asked in hindsight, "That unlucky ghost who was caught by Shui Kou?" ”
"Exactly!"
She raised an eyebrow, "When did you come?" ”
"Fangcai."
"Hmm." Lu Anjin didn't seem to hear it, and continued to taste with relish how Yan Ruyu in the book was captivating and how the golden house in the book was so impressive.
Ling You retreated silently, consciously taking up the duties of the door god.
Li Jiaxing waited for a pillar of incense in the living room, he drank tea happily, and wondered whether Lu Anjin was deliberately drying him, or if something was really delayed.
After waiting for another cup of tea, just when he was anxious and anxious, Lu Anjin finally came late.
"Second son, there are some things that have been delayed, and you have been waiting for a long time." Lu Anjin bowed slightly, apologizing unheartedly.
Li Jiaxing hurriedly got up and bowed slightly, "Miss has a lot of opportunities, and the grass people understand!" ”
"What Childe said, Miss Ben doesn't understand. Miss Ben is just a boudoir woman, and she is just chanting poems and talking about piano embroidery and embroidery, and she can't take care of everything. If this is heard by someone with a heart, Miss Ben can't explain it clearly. ”
The corners of Xia Er's mouth couldn't help twitching, her new master's ability to open her eyes and tell nonsense has been perfected, and it is not an exaggeration to call her grandfather.
Li Jiaxing was stunned for a moment, and made a fuss, "It's the grass people who have lost their words, please don't blame Miss!" ”
"It's okay," Lu Anjin smiled skillfully, "I don't know why the son came here today?" ”
"The grass people came uninvited today, because they don't understand something, and I ask the young lady to answer questions for the grass people."
"What's the matter, you say!"
Li Jiaxing glanced at Xia'er, who didn't see it at all, and still didn't move like a mountain. Lu Anjin smiled lightly and said lightly: "Childe, it's okay to say it." ”
"Miss, do you remember what you said to the grass people in the barracks before?"
Lu Anjin nodded, "I naturally remember." ”
"After the grass people returned to Nancheng, according to the instructions of the young lady, they met with the seven rich merchants of Yinnan," Li Jiaxing's expression was a little discouraged, and he said a little unwillingly: "But the result is not good." ”
"Childe don't worry, I expected this."
Li Jiaxing's face suddenly turned extremely pale, didn't she believe that he would make a difference from the beginning?
Lu Anjin glanced at him and knew what he was thinking at the moment. She said casually, "Childe doesn't need to think about it, I believe in Childe's righteousness, but I don't believe in the kindness of rich businessmen." ”
After all, profiteers and profiteers are not businessmen.
"What are the plans of the young lady in the future?"
Lu Anjin smiled with his eyebrows, looked at Li Jiaxing for a moment, and the other party who looked directly at him was at a loss and fidgeted, so he asked with a smile, "I wonder if Gongzi Li is interested in making a deal with Miss Ben?" ”
"Deal?"
"Yes, Miss Ben wants to start a small business, but she is short of a partner, I wonder if Mr. Li is interested?"
The corners of Li Jiaxing's mouth twitched, saying that the partner was just trying to let him take the money.
"I wonder what business Miss wants to do?"
"Restaurant."
Li Jiaxing smiled lightly and said proudly, "It's just Nancheng, my Li family has already opened two restaurants." ”
Lu Anjin nodded, he does have the capital of pride. She smiled and asked, "Is business okay?" ”
Li Jiaxing replied modestly, "Business is not bad." ”
"The Li family has been in business for generations, and it should be this achievement. However, Miss Ben has a question, and I ask Childe to tell me everything. ”
"If you have any questions, Miss will say it directly."
"Who are the main guests of the Li Family Restaurant?"
What kind of problem is this, a discerning person will know at a glance.
"From the kings and nobles, down to the common people, there are all of them."
Lu Anjin nodded clearly, "The restaurant that Miss Ben wants to open is different from an ordinary restaurant, if Li Gongzi is interested, we will talk about it in detail, if there is no interest, there is no need to talk about it." ”
Li Jiaxing said with some embarrassment, "Miss doesn't know, now the Li family is not the head of the grass people, and the grass people still need to go back to the house to discuss with the head of the family." ”
Lu Anjin shook his head and said directly: "Childe may have misunderstood, the partner that Miss Ben said refers to you, Childe, not the Li family." ”
"Me?" Li Jiaxing was a little confused, "Why grass people?" ”
Lu Anjin said bluntly, "The Li family has a big business and a lot of things. Miss Ben is not afraid of anything, just afraid of trouble. However, from the site selection and decoration of the restaurant to the source of dishes, Miss Ben is responsible for it, and the son does not need to interfere. And what Childe needs to do is to contribute. ”
No way, she is poor and white now, and she is poor. As for the money for the last time I went to the bazaar to buy things, I still asked Ling Zuo Ling to borrow it.
Li Jiaxing pondered for a moment, "Miss estimates how much silver is needed?" ”
Lu Anjin chuckled, "I can't say now, this requires a field trip between Gongzi and me." ”
"Grass people and young lady together?"
"Exactly, if you are a partner, everything should be open and transparent, which is the respect for each other."
Li Jiaxing was moved, Lu Anjin can have a great friendship with King Xian, so he is naturally not an ordinary person. However, the amount of money needed to open a restaurant is not a small amount, and he needs to consider it carefully.
"Miss, can you give the grass people a day to think about it?"
Lu Anjin shook his head with a light smile, "Miss Ben knows that this matter is important, but the time is urgent, Miss Ben can only give you half a day, if it is Shen Shi, the son has not replied, Miss Ben can only find someone else." ”
Li Jiaxing nodded, saluted, and left in a hurry.
"Miss, do you think this Li Gongzi will agree?"
Lu Anjin swore back, "Surely!" ”
"Why is Miss so sure?"
"If you have money, you don't make it, unless you are a fool!"
Xia Er was silent, her new master not only lied a lot, but also was unusually conceited.
"Don't believe me?"
Xia Er struggled for a long time, and then muttered in a low voice: "Miss is too immodest." ”
Lu Anjin sneered, "Ha, what Xia Er said is right, Miss Ben has to be humble." ”
Xia Er thought that she knew that she was exaggerating, but as a result, Lu Anjin's next words almost made her squirt a mouthful of old blood!
"After all, low-key is the best way to show off!"
Xia'er: ......
Ling You: ......
Li Jiaxing came faster than Lu Anjin imagined, but before long, he came to visit again.
"Childe has you figured it out?"
"Miss Lu," he said with some excitement, "the grass people have already thought about it. ”
"Childe has thought about it thoroughly?"
Li Jiaxing nodded heavily, "It is a blessing for the grass people to be able to cooperate with Miss." ”
"Childe doesn't need to be modest, and it is also a blessing for An Jin to be able to partner with a reasonable person like Childe."
Li Jiaxing waved his hand again and again, refusing to accept such a compliment.
Lu Anjin saw that he had never talked about dividends from beginning to end, and took the initiative to say: "As for the profit of the restaurant, five or five points, son, is it okay?" ”
"Five-five?" Li Jiaxing was a little surprised.
"Isn't Childe too low?" In fact, four or six is not impossible.
"No, no," he shook his head repeatedly, "Miss, don't get me wrong, the grass people don't dare to think so." ”
He originally thought that Lu Anjin would give him forty percent at most, after all, she was an official and he was a businessman. And Shinong industry and commerce, businessmen are the cheapest!
"Since Gongzi doesn't have any opinions, then it's decided," Lu Anjin got up, walked in front of him, took the initiative to stretch out his hand, and said with a smile, "Gongzi Li, then I wish us a happy cooperation." ”
Li Jiaxing looked at the soft water in front of him, with a tangled face.
Ling Youyou stared at Li Jiaxing with a gloomy face, and his eyes were on fire. If that kid dares to disrespect Miss, he will definitely clean him up.
Seeing this, Xia Er grabbed Miss's hand and pretended to be surprised and said, "Miss, why are your hands so cold, but where is the discomfort?" ”
Lu Anjin had black lines, and her hands were obviously hot. As soon as she was about to speak, she saw that Xia Er kept secretly sending autumn waves to her!
"Shicai has a headache, but now it's much better."
Xia Er hurriedly said, "Miss has been too tired lately, so she should have a good rest." ”
Li Jiaxing hurriedly agreed: "That's right, Miss must take care of your body." ”
Lu Anjin withdrew his hand, sat back in his seat, and smiled indifferently, "Li Gongzi, since we are partners now, there is no need to see each other like this." Miss, Miss, it's too raw, in the future, you can just call me An Jin. ”
"This..."Li Jiaxing rubbed his hands and asked uncertainly, "Is it really possible?" ”
"Why not? Why not? Lu Anjin asked puzzledly, "Or is Jiaxing afraid of being misunderstood by his wife?" ”
"No, no, no, no. Since the young lady said so, the family was disrespectful. ”
Ling You was in a super unhappy mood, he put on a coffin face, looked at the two of them who were talking happily with a blank face, and secretly sweated for Qi Xiaoyun.
Lord, if you don't come again, I'm afraid that the princess will run away with someone.
"An Jin is not feeling well, just rest early, and come back tomorrow to bother Jiaxing."
The guard's expression was too scary, so he better flash it early.
Lu Anjin didn't leave anyone behind, and sent him off with a light smile, "Jiaxing walks slowly." ”
