Chapter 54: Farce
"Lost royal status?" Ji Qiang watched the lotus flower walk in front of her, and chuckled: "I'm afraid it's not the same as what you understand, the people under me are at fault and owe discipline, so they should teach a lesson and maintain the honor given to me by His Majesty, how can I lose it, and besides, this kind of subordinate who disregards the rules and regulations, disregards the status, and has no one in his eyes, I heard that you disciplined it, what kind of person are you, you can't even salute when you see this princess, where is the majesty of the royal family?" Can't even tell the difference between the noble and the low? ”
Ji Qiang opened her mouth and made the arrogant lotus flower face red and white, just when Ji Qiang thought that the lotus flower would be provoked to do something out of line, the lotus stiffened her face and bowed, and called out Her Royal Highness the princess, and then her face was slightly gloomy, and her voice was mixed with anger: "I don't know what happened when the princess came here early in the morning." ”
Ji Qiangxun sat down on a clean stool on the side and said, "This is the princess's shop, come here to take a look, what's the problem?" ”
"Naturally, there is no problem, but as soon as she came, she demolished the door and did something to the two subordinates, doesn't the princess think it is too much?"
"Overdone? Do you need others to discipline a few subordinates? Ji Qiang stroked her eyebrows and said.
Lotus continued to ask: "Then these subordinates, what crime have they committed?" ”
Ji Qiang replied: "The industry is not easy to take care of, and it can be regarded as a sin to eat and wait for death." ”
"Even if there is a mistake, people should not be detained, not to mention, the princess should not have this qualification." Lotus continued, "These two people are not signing the contract of the princess's mansion, they are the slaves and maids I bought, even if they are disciplined, they will not be able to take the turn of the princess." ”
"Really?" Ji Qiang turned her head to look at the cold fragrance behind her.
Leng Xiang leaned over and whispered, "According to the regulations, the slaves who sell themselves are only subject to the discipline of the buyer, and even the housekeeper cannot control these slaves." ”
"Yo, I can't tell it's still some dog minions." Ji Qiang tapped her index finger and sneered, "Then let it go." ”
After speaking, Leng Xiang kicked the shopkeeper who was pressing at his feet out of the store, and even threw out the housekeeper who was standing next to him.
"Still have questions?" Ji Qiang looked at the lotus flower in front of her.
To her surprise, Lotus's expression was not touched, as if she had lost two insignificant dogs, Ji Qiang smiled and said, "Now it's time for you to go out?" ”
"Get out?"
Who knew that the lotus laughed sarcastically, walked around the store twice, and then said: "I don't know if Her Royal Highness the princess has ever seen the treaty on the mortgage of this jewelry store to the princess's mansion." ”
"Naturally, what's the problem?" Ji Qiang frowned and asked.
"Of course there's a problem, and it's not a minor problem?" After that, Lotus looked outside the store, and the housekeeper who had just been thrown out of the store by Leng Xiang limped back again.
Leng Xiang, who got Ji Qiang's instructions, did not intercept it, the housekeeper walked up to everyone, glanced at Ji Qiang coldly a few times, and then took out a contract from his arms.
It was a copy of the treaty mortgaged by the jewelry store to the princess's mansion, and the lotus took the treaty from the butler's hand, and said mockingly: "Article 13 of the treaty, after the jewelry store is mortgaged to the princess's mansion, all the profits will be borne by the princess's mansion. ”
Before the words of the lotus in the store were finished, the housekeeper didn't know when he had walked to the front of the store, and began to cry to the crowd of onlookers outside: "Since the jewelry store was mortgaged to the princess's palace, the jewelry store has been losing money, and the goods have been out early, helplessly, in order to maintain the face of the princess's mansion, I can only secretly find Sister Lotus and let Sister Lotus buy some supplies, fortunately, Sister Lotus has some means, and gave an IOU to the princess's mansion and bought hundreds of thousands of silver taels of jewelry." ”
"I thought it could get better slowly, who knew that a few days ago the jewelry store purchased the warehouse went out of water, hundreds of thousands of silver taels of jewelry burned away, and now Her Royal Highness the princess actually does not recognize these IOUs, hundreds of thousands of IOUs, how can a small jewelry store afford it, if the money can't be handed over to the merchant today, I will really die here."
After that, the butler hit the wooden pole next to him, and he saw blood on his head instantly, and he was lying on the ground moaning without a word, and at this time, the crowd of onlookers outside made a fuss.
"It's natural to repay debts, so don't you have to pay back the money that the princess's mansion owes people?"
"The IOUs have been made, and now people go to the store to ask for accounts, so they don't have to pay back if they belong to the official family."
"Pay back, pay back."
There were constantly people with abnormal expressions in the crowd making sounds, and the whole street was already close to the commercial area, and now people kept surrounding, and the nature of ordinary people who were good at coaxing was exposed.
The street was noisy, but a teahouse diagonally opposite the door of the jewelry store was unusually quiet, the window of the private room on the top floor, a hand holding a wine glass leaned against the window, the owner of the hand, was Xia Chengmu wearing a carved gold robe, he elegantly raised a glass to the woman with a light veil opposite: "This plan to kill two birds with one stone is still your ingenuity." ”
"Where, without the support of the prince, you can't get to this point." The woman raised the wine glass in her hand, touched the wine glass with Xia Chengmu, and then drank it all.
The fair-skinned neck was raised high, and a moving snow-white was revealed under the collarbone, seeing this, Xia Chengmu's eyes were on fire, and his hand hooked forward, hooking the woman into his arms.
In the depths of the woman's eyes, a flash of surprise flashed, obviously Xia Chengmu's abrupt movements startled her, but thinking of her current situation, she still looked at Xia Chengmu's gaze with affection.
Xia Chengmu's hand rubbed on her back, a breeze suddenly blew off the woman's veil outside the window, and a face covered with red bumps suddenly appeared in front of Xia Chengmu's eyes.
Xia Chengmu's movements froze, and there was some disgust in his eyes, as if he was annoyed that he knew that it was such a face, but he was uncontrollably moved.
"Let's get out." Xia Chengmu sat up straight and looked out the window.
Gu Hanyan got down from Xia Chengmu, picked up the veil on the ground and put it on in embarrassment, saluted, and turned around to leave the elegant room.
The door was slowly closed by her, and the veiled cold smoke could no longer be controlled, standing in front of the room with his hands clenched into fists, his nails pinching the blood marks on the palms of his hands.
"Her face has been ruined, this hatred, not to wear the sky, Ji Qiang, one day, I want you to kneel in front of me, crawling, waiting, waiting, waiting!!"
......
"400,000 silver taels, why don't you go out and grab it." A shrill voice could be heard from afar on the street.
In front of the jewelry store, a carriage penetrated the crowd, and finally stopped in front of the store, and a girl in a pink skirt with a flowing cloud bun came down from above, rushed to the store in a few steps, and stood beside Ji Qiang.
"Do you think that with a trumped-up IOU and some lies, you can bluff Her Royal Highness the Princess?" Chamomile stretched her neck and looked at Gu Hanyan coldly.
At this time, several more people came out of the carriage, a man dressed as a poor scholar, a woman who looked slight, and a pedant who was more than half an age, they stood at the front of the crowd, watching the several people fighting each other in the jewelry store, the man who was crying with blood on his head at the door of the store, and the noisy crowd in the street, looking dazed.
