"Miss Su, Lord Chen, the magistrate, asked the little one to come and spread the word to your mansion, and in a while, he will bring a few shopkeepers of the business to the mansion to offer incense to Ling Zun and Brother Ling!"

"There's this little brother Lao!" As soon as Su Nianjin raised his hand, Chao Lu handed the family who came to deliver the message a purse with a reward of silver. "I also asked the little brother to reply to Lord Chen that the people's daughter was waiting for him in the house."

"Thank you, Miss Su!" The family member weighed the weight of the purse and was bubbling with joy in his heart, "Miss Su, don't worry, the little one will definitely bring the words." ”

Wanxiang and Chaolu, who were originally calm, both changed their faces after Jia Ding left, "Miss, what should I do!" Did you say that they invited the county lord to come to the house to trouble us! "After all, Miss monopolized the supply of goods, and many shops in Quzhou City were forced to close because they had no goods to sell.

"Don't worry, it's okay," Su Nianjin seemed to have expected this situation a long time ago, "Now that the situation is special, Lord Chen will not touch us." "After all, if the Su family is moved, then the tax and silver in Quzhou City will be less than half, and now isn't there someone in the capital to investigate Lord Chen's political achievements? As long as Master Chen doesn't want his career to go wrong, he won't move the Su family at this juncture!

Su Nianjin pursed her lips, she looked down on Xiangji Lin Ji, but she didn't expect that they wouldn't be able to survive even a day, so they asked Master Chen to make peace!

"Go and clean the gazebo in the courtyard, and then invite Master Chen and them to talk there!" Su Nianjin looked back at the spirit card on the desk, "Those annoying things make my mother and eldest brother worried." ”

Because of the prior notice, when Lord Chen arrived this time, Su Nianjin had already led his subordinates to wait in front of the gate.

"The folk girl greets Lord Chen!"

Lord Chen glanced at Su Nianjin, only to see Su Nianjin bowing her head respectfully, and she couldn't see her expression clearly, "Miss Su is polite, please get up!" ”

"Thank you, Lord Chen!" Su Nianjin took two steps back, "Adults, please!" ”

Lord Chen raised his eyebrows, and glanced back at the shopkeeper of Xiangji Lin Ji and Wang Ji who came with him today, they were all discouraged, and they wanted to greet Su Nianjin but ate her cold face. It's really useless, a few people have lived for such a long time, they can't even deal with a little girl.

Lord Chen turned his head, Su Nianjin was still humble, "Please Miss Su lead the way." ”

Master Chen doesn't like businessmen who smell of copper, but he is very interested in a beautiful woman like Su Nianjin who is smart and knowledgeable about current affairs. Before, he didn't expect that such a small woman would be able to shake the shops in Quzhou City with one hand. Or does she have a "master" behind her?

Although it is a hot summer, the pavilion is covered with ice basins, which makes people feel a little cool in the hot and dry weather.

Lord Chen glanced at the ice basin, the Su family was really wealthy, and they actually used ice to cool down.

"Lord Chen, please drink tea.." After Lord Chen sat down, the servants brought tea and snacks. Of course, none of this is the share of the shopkeepers who follow Master Chen.

Although the tea is a bland herbal tea, it is a weapon to cool off, Lord Chen took a sip and began to eat dim sum again, I don't know why, the things brought out by the Su family were very appetizing to him, so he unconsciously wanted to eat more.

"Big... Person? The shopkeeper of Xiang Ji was at a loss, how could Lord Chen completely forget about them, but instead eat by himself!

The shopkeeper of Xiang Ji is a distant cousin of Mrs. Chen, and he can be regarded as a close relationship with Lord Chen, which is the reason why they can invite Lord Chen to make peace so quickly.

"Ahem!" Master Chen put down the pastry in his hand and cleared his throat, "Miss Su, what's going on with your Su family firm these days?" I heard that you relied on the Su family to be the president of the Quzhou Chamber of Commerce and suppressed other businesses, forcing them to close their doors, right? ”

"I wonder where you heard the slander, sir?" Su Nianjin looked innocent, "My lord, you know, the Su family has been going on a lot of right and wrong in recent days, Nianjin has hardly left the house these days, and she is devoutly mourning for her mother and brother, how can she take the time to suppress other businesses?" This is simply nonsense! ”

"You have to quibble!" The shopkeeper of Xiangji was disgusted by Su Nianjin's righteous words, and he didn't pity the jade at all, pointing at Su Nianjin's nose and scolding loudly!

"Presumptuous! Don't give the official a step back yet! "Lord Chen is a little angry, he is still sitting here, and it is the turn of the shopkeeper of Xiangji to play prestige here?

The shopkeeper of Xiang Ji felt that he was a little out of shape, so he timidly took a step back and lowered his head.

"Miss Su, although you don't leave the house, you have so many people under you!" After Lord Chen saw that the shopkeeper of Xiangji retreated with interest, he didn't have the same knowledge as him, "I heard that the shopkeepers under you are very convinced of you!" ”

"Nian Jin is fortunate, thanks to the support of the Su family's shopkeepers, the Su family can come to this day!" Su Nianjin responded calmly, "It's just that our Su family firm has always operated in accordance with the laws and regulations and Lord Chen's instructions, and never dared to do anything out of the ordinary." Regarding the rumors that the Su family firm suppressed other firms, Nian Jin implored Lord Chen to investigate it deeply and give the Su family justice! ”

"Looking for you to say this, your Su family is still quite wronged?" Master Chen smiled, "Lin Ji's shopkeeper, tell me what the Su family firm has done to you these days!" ”

"Lord Qiyu!" Lin Ji's shopkeeper held back his anger, and now he finally has a chance to exit, "Miss Su, I don't want to give the grass people a way to live!" She first wantonly lowered the price, causing us to only trade at a loss, and then cut off the supply of small ones, so that we had no business to do, and the goods within a radius of thirty miles of Quzhou City were all contracted by the Su family! ”

Master Chen tilted his head and stared at Su Nianjin, he wanted to hear how Su Nianjin defended.

Su Nianjin blinked and replied in disbelief, "Lord Chen, Lin Ji's shopkeeper's words made Nianjin feel very inexplicable. The reason why Su's firm sold at a reduced price was because Su's firm suddenly closed for a few days and caused inconvenience to the store's regular customers. As for cutting off the supply of goods from other firms, this matter is even more nonsense. Let's open the door to do business, the goods are generally ordered three months in advance, and the boss of other businesses does not place an order on the day of the order, and then there is no goods to buy, so blame the Su family? Nian Jin really felt aggrieved. ”

Several shopkeepers were choked by Su Nianjin's words and couldn't say a word, Su Nianjin didn't have a problem saying this! Can they say that the predicament they are in now is due to the evil consequences they have caused in order to bring down the Su Clan's trading house?
