Shen Xiao just dreamed that he and Shen Ling had changed their bodies back, and before he had time to be happy, the picture turned around and stepped on the soles of his feet, and he woke up with his eyes open.

Chang Xi lifted the futon and shouted at the top of Shen Xiao's head: "Wake up Shen Jiu, Miss said, don't treat yourself as a master when you enter the mansion." ”

Shen Xiao pinched the high bridge of his nose, squinted at him and sighed: "I didn't sleep well last night, can I rest and then go to serve Cheng?" ”

"No, don't embarrass me. Miss said yes, if you follow her, you will ensure that you can get ahead in the Zhao family. ”

People have to bow their heads under the eaves, Shen Xiao understands. What he doesn't understand is that being a servant of the Zhao family is what makes him stand out?

Shen Xiao changed into a stone blue cloth shirt and gray pants from his subordinates, and wiped his face before leaving the room.

Chang Xi raised his eyes and glanced at it inadvertently, and was stunned for a moment.

The young man's posture is upright, thin and green, his elegant and handsome face is just like an ink painting, and he uses a millipen to draw lightly on rice paper, and the tips of his eyes are slightly raised, revealing an inexplicable arrogance.

According to the routine of the folk book, the rich boy who concealed his identity saved the young lady, and then he made a vigorous promise to each other. It's a pity that the young lady doesn't like to raise cubs.

Shen Xiao didn't know that Chang Xi was arranging a good show in his head, and when he glanced at it, he saw that she was smiling with bad intentions, so he frowned, rubbed his fingers against his smooth chin and said, "If you want to say that I have a black face, don't tell me." ”

Chang Xi's mouth moved, and he waved his hand awkwardly: "No, no, no." I've found out that you're really good-looking. ”

That's a compliment. Shen Xiao laughed a little.

When I was discharged from the hospital, I met a person in the corridor and blocked the way impartially.

"Chang Xi, where are you going?"

"I heard that Miss came back last night?"

The man who came was dressed as a Confucian with a round neck and a large sleeve shirt and a scarf hat. He is still young, his left eyebrow is broken, the corners of his eyes are slightly drooping when he speaks, and his divine light is restrained.

Chang Xi pursed his mouth, and secretly said that this person is like a worm, and he is not tired of running to the house every day.

"Why are you here? If you want to find a young lady, we can't do it, we have to go to the shop. ”

"I'm here to find the eldest prince, since the affairs of the academy have been entrusted to me, how dare I slack off."

"Who is this?" His gaze shifted over and looked at Shen Xiao with inquiry.

"Shen Jiu, his name is Lu Yun."

The two looked at each other and staggered, nodding to each other.

Lu Yun wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by Chang Xi.

"Shen Jiu, Miss is in a hurry, let's go."

Lu Yun hurriedly dodged to the side, staring sideways at the figure of the two of them walking away, thoughtful in his eyes.

"You will have to meet in the future, you remember, he was born poor, and he was lucky to be taken in by the young lady, and the eldest prince found him an errand in the academy. But I always look at him with wrong eyes, not like you. ”

Shen Xiao didn't care about such a person, but he was interested in Chang Xi's words.

"Chang Xi you are really discerning."

The two of them walked out of the door one after the other, and a soap-colored cloth palanquin was waiting there. The sedan curtain opened a corner, revealing Zhao Qingmiao's face.

Today, she combed Yunguang's clever forehead and sideburns to support the hairpin, thinly applied powder, embroidered a begonia skirt with a chest-length breast, and copied the autumn fragrance shawl with half an arm, showing a gentle atmosphere.

Carrying the sedan chair is done roughly, Shen Xiao is inexperienced, and the other three people are running in steps, it is inevitable that they will stumble, stumble, and the center of gravity is unstable, and the sedan chair will be crooked to the side.

The people next to him began to whisper: "Didn't you kid eat?" Soft feet alike. ”

The first time that the dignified regent was treated as waste, Shen Xiao's face became even darker. After a while, he hid the gloom that swelled up in his eyes.

He gritted his teeth and exhaled, his shoulder readjusting.

The sedan chair was bumpy and walked steadily.

The sky is indigo and the breeze is blowing through the alleys.

As Shen Xiao walked, his eyes swept over two ways: there are still flowers and all kinds of fireworks here. I think that the first emperor gave him this treasure land, but there were also people who objected. But, what happened next?

Looking past the teahouse tavern, the signboard of the restaurant hook bar is flipped over. Some people flock to welcome guests, peddling rouge gouache, clay sculpture wood carvings, combing mirrors, bamboo flutes, and silk satin. The driving tuk tuk passed, and the dealer who was carrying the goods for others turned his head and scolded when he rubbed shoulders, and was quickly overshadowed by the shouting of the vegetable maid and bartender.

Shen Xiao secretly thought: I have to think of a way as soon as possible to contact the henchmen left behind in the Yongcheng Mansion. It's the way it is now, and it's not convincing. It's hard......

The sedan chair will fall to the ground, and a small guy who has been looking forward for a long time will come up. Zhao's shop stands on the street, welcoming customers on the first floor, stacking goods in the warehouse at the back, and upstairs is a place to talk about business.

"Second Miss is here."

Zhao Qingmiao first straightened out the folds of his clothes, and then went upstairs. Chang Xi tugged at Shen Xiao's sleeves, and the two followed closely behind.

"When the rooster crowed, someone had already been sent to the dock to unload the goods, pull them back and put them in the warehouse."

"Yesterday, a few masters who ordered came to make trouble, but they were blocked by the eldest son."

The bookkeeper followed suit, holding a few account books in his hand, and explaining the recent matters in the shop.

After half a pillar of incense, Zhao Qingmiao finished flipping through the account books. A string of light and heavy footsteps sounded on the wooden staircase, followed by someone pushing the door and entering.

"Yo, where is Qing Miao's niece?" The person who came with a mustache, when he spoke, he listened to kindness, but in fact, he deliberately pressed his seniority, and he was an old slippery head in the business field.

Zhao Qingmiao owed a blessing, and said with a light smile: "Master Tan came early, take a look." ”

In order not to be looked down upon by other businessmen, he always wants to smoke incense and go out, and he likes to pretend to recite a few lines of poetry when he meets people.

As soon as he sat down, his buttocks couldn't help but move back, and he picked up the teacup with his hand to avoid the foam.

"This time, the quality of the inkstone is good, if it is paired with delicate pine smoke ink, whether it is a literati or a dignitary, it will definitely be sold at a good price."

After Zhao Qingmiao finished speaking, Master Tan's eyes really widened, and the folds in the corners of his eyes were piled up with layers of joy.

"That's a good relationship, you brothers and sisters are all people who read poetry and books, I can trust it. However, will the price of this order be higher? Hey, do you know, there are some merchants in the city, and they have all kinds of strange things, so they say that this inkstone, there are already many people who buy goods from them. ”

Zhao Qingmiao spread out the account book casually, pretending to have a headache and said, "Isn't Master Tan embarrassed junior?" They pick up individual customers, and if they buy once, they may not have the next time. Although my Zhao family is not a big family, it is also credible in Luoyang City. The procurement requires manpower, carriages, horses, and ships, and some official service, which is swallowed at a loss by itself, but it only earns a little profit and fame. ”

The old slippery head wanted to fool, Zhao Qingmiao knew it in his heart, but he said:

"If you really feel a loss, I still have a batch of rosewood boxes in my warehouse, and I will sell them to you cheaply. You have a set of four treasures in the study, and you are guaranteed to give gifts. ”

"Ahaha, niece, you're really good at talking. Alright, that's it! Duan inkstone, pine smoke ink and wooden box, first thirty. Tomorrow I will send it to the shop, and I will not send anyone to pick it up. ”

Before leaving, he still has to earn a little bit back on this little thing.

Zhao Qingmiao was disgusted, and she had to pretend to smile hypocritically on her face: "Master Tan is good to go, come back another day." ”

Seeing the person leave, she flipped through another account book and ate a snack and went smoothly.

- This Zhao Qingmiao is really good at business, and he is also beautiful inside and clumsy outside. Shen Xiao thought so. He stood close to the windowsill, and could vaguely hear Master Tan talking to his subordinates who walked out of the shop.

"Master, why don't we go and procure it ourselves? Cheap them for nothing? ”

"Because, you have to know the goods."
