In the face of Wei Shu's compliment, Xie Rongjing was indifferent.

To be precise, his reaction was rather rude.

Because he was holding the two legs of the roast duck and manipulating it to walk around the table.

Apparently impatient to participate in this kind of business talk scene.

The old man in the Xie Jiaxiang Daoist Hall coughed as a reminder, but Xie Rongjing still went his own way.

He had no choice but to give up on this young master, and said with a polite smile: "Wei Shangshu is young and promising, and his vision is also excellent. Lord Shangshu, rest assured, we will definitely live up to the trust of you and the imperial court. Early tomorrow morning, the old man will go to the yamen of the Ministry of Rites to sign the contract. ”

Seeing that the discussion had come to an end, Wei Shu suddenly wrinkled his nose.

He was pleasantly surprised, "The official didn't even notice that the incense in the elegant seat had changed its taste!" This fragrance is strict and elegant, and there seems to be the domineering of ambergris under the tasting, showing my great demeanor! Could it be the incense that the Xie Family Incense Dojo wants to use for the national ceremony? ! The official is very satisfied, very satisfied! ”

The old shopkeeper frowned, a little embarrassed.

This is certainly not their family's incense!

Su Jiu got up and walked out at the right time.

She bowed to Wei Shu with a dignified manner, "I've seen Lord Wei, this 'Kyushu Dragon Rhyme' is from the hand of a little woman." The little woman opened an incense shop in Chang'an City, called Half a Day Leisure, and also wanted to participate in the imperial merchant election of this national gift. ”

"Nonsense!"

Without waiting for Wei Shu to speak, the old shopkeeper of the Xie family slammed the table, "Our Xie family has been a royal merchant for hundreds of years, where did you kill this little girl, don't you take my Xie family in your eyes at all?!" ”

Su Jiu smiled, "It's not about buying things, why bother with first come, first served?" What's more, this time the Seven Nations Alliance is of great significance, and I, as the host, naturally strive for perfection in everything. The old man refuses to give way, could it be that he can come up with a more suitable incense than Kyushu Longyun? ”

The old man was dumbfounded.

He can also be regarded as having seen the world, and the flavor of Su wine, "Kyushu Dragon Yun", is a high-grade incense medicine, and there is no match in the store.

Su Jiu sat down beside Wei Shu and personally poured a glass of wine for him, "Fu Jun often says that when competing, you should win by your ability, since the Xie family can't come up with a better fragrance than Kyushu Longyun, then this time the imperial merchant quota ...... I wonder if Master Wei can give me a half-day leisure? ”

As if she had just remembered, she smiled and said: "By the way, my husband is Xiao Tingchen, the king of Yong, and he is also a colleague of Lord Wei." ”

Behind the Xie family is Xie Rongjing, the title of marquis cannot be underestimated, and Wei Shu must take care of his colleagues.

But her half-day slack is not without a backstage.

Sure enough, Wei Shu's expression changed little by little.

For a long time, he seemed to be afraid of offending people at both ends, so he had to look at Xie Rongjing hesitantly.

Xie Rongjing sat cross-legged, and his position was just opposite Su Jiu.

Ever since the wine came out, his eyes had been falling on her.

In the awkward silence, he took a slow sip of wine.

The strongest wine in Liangzhou poured into the throat cavity over the lips and teeth, and it hurt hotly.

He ignored the old shopkeeper's desperate eyes, and said lightly: "The skills are not as good as people, and there is nothing to say." Lord Wei, in this imperial business election, our Xie family withdrew. I thought that in Chang'an City, there was no more suitable candidate than Princess Yong. ”

Wei Shu got down the stairs and smiled, "Even so, I won't force it anymore." Concubine Su, please go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites tomorrow, and we will discuss the details together. ”

After Wei Shu left, the old shopkeeper also left the table with a huff.

Su Jiu added wine to Xie Rongjing, "Angry? ”

Xie Rongjing didn't speak.

Su Jiu held his cheek with one hand and stared at his eyebrows seriously, "Xie Er, although I have experienced so much, I have never changed my childhood dream. This time I robbed you of your wealth, and it was really a last resort. If you're willing to continue competing with me, I have no complaints. There is nothing more meaningful than spending thought and energy on it, and getting it through your own hands. ”

Xie Rongjing drank two spirits in a row.

The lights jumped, he hung his head, and Su Jiu couldn't see his expression clearly.

After a long time, he suddenly hooked his lips and smiled.

He looked up, Danfeng's eyes were moist and crimson for some time, "Do you think I'm angry because you cut off my business?" ”

Su Jiu: "Otherwise? ”

"My ancestors have been businessmen for generations, and I know the rules of the business field, and I know that before the quota is determined, any incense hall can come and grab it from me. This is the rule and the morality, and I can't blame you for this...... What's more, I don't care about that little bit of money. ”

The sharp sword eyebrows were tightly locked, and he raised his hand to cover his eyes, "I just...... I just can't accept that you pretended to be a maid and ran to Liangzhou to resign, so hard, and regarded me as a competitor...... If you want that spot, I can give it to you generously if you ask. I don't want to be your imaginary enemy, because I know that I won't fight with you for the rest of my life......"

He rubbed his brow and drank another glass of wine.

The night wind blew open the flower windows, and the lights went out brightly and brightly.

His voice was even hoarse, "I have lived in a splendid pile since I was born, and the power of gold and silver has no attraction to me. There aren't many people I care about, and you're one of them. For you, I am willing to give up everything, and I am willing to draw a sword against anyone! I don't understand, I've gotten to this point, why do you still treat me like a competitor?! ”

Tonight's matter, big or small, is not small.

From Su Jiu's point of view, she did it quite right.

But from Xie Rongjing's point of view, Su Jiu's approach inevitably hurt him too much.

Su Jiu was silent.

She bowed her head and poured herself a glass of wine.

Although they grew up together, and although they regarded him as a friend, she never seemed to have a heart for him.

She treats him forever with a layer of politeness.

The candle flame on the bronze chandelier was mostly blown out by the wind.

The moonlight is clear, shining on the girl's embroidered skirt on the ground, which is particularly quiet and poignant.

Su Jiu was like a child who had done something wrong, and when she was struggling and embarrassed, the other party suddenly held one of her hands.

The man's hand bones are distinct, and there is a thick layer of cocoons because of marching and fighting and practicing martial arts every day.

He clenched it tightly, but it didn't mean to be windy.

He wore a red ribbon around his wrist, and because the side where he wrote was attached to his skin, he could not see what wishes were written.

But he had been wearing it for about a long time, and the ribbon had faded a little.

She whispered, "I'm sorry. ”

Xie Rongjing chuckled, "What I want to hear from your mouth is never the word 'sorry'...... You have nothing to be sorry for me. Su Xiaojiu, you remember for me, your backstage is not only Xiao Tingchen, but also my Xie Rongjing. ”

He promised Xiao Tingchen that he would never interfere in their marriage.

But he can use his way to protect Su Xiaojiu.

He left.

Su Jiu frowned lightly at the moonlight, "Don't tell Xiao Tingchen what happened just now." ”

Frostfall nodded like pounding garlic, "The slave must be tight-lipped!" ”

If she knows to her master, the little marquis touched the princess's little hand, and she can't lift the sky!

，

I'll see you tomorrow
