"Lord Jiang, even if the eldest princess can cover the sky in this Shangjing with one hand, she will never buy all the shops in the city for me, right?" Xiao Man asked tentatively.

She and Jiang Qiming have already helped each other once, logically speaking, it should be considered a tie, if she accepts the other party's shop now, then she will be tied to Jiang Qiming in the future, Xiaoman is naturally unwilling.

And Lu Li is a general, the emperor is already taboo, if she is befriending Jiang Qiming, wouldn't the emperor be even more suspicious of Lu Li's rebellion?

Jiang Qiming didn't know Su Xiaoman's taboo, so he said directly: "Shopkeeper Su, I don't want to win you over, but I think it's really rare to find a woman like you in Beijing, you are a good material for business, I don't want to see you buried here." ”

As he spoke, he pushed the title deed into Xia Wanrou's hand again, "Don't worry, I will never embarrass you for helping me do things, you helped me too much before, I just want to repay you a few more times." “

Xiao Man looked at Xia Wanrou and tested the other party's meaning with his eyes.

Xia Wanrou also subconsciously looked at her, and the two made eye contact for a while, but they still couldn't come up with an idea.

"Okay, I don't embarrass you, this title deed is placed here for me first, within three days, if you think about it, you can come to Jiangfu at any time to find me to get this title deed back." Jiang Qiming received the title deed in his arms and got up to leave.

Just as the other party walked to the door, Xiao Man suddenly got up and asked unceremoniously: "Lord Jiang, if you help us, aren't you afraid that the eldest princess will hate you?" ”

If the eldest princess is really as terrible as Jiang Qiming said, then isn't he afraid as an imperial businessman? And Jiang Qiming relies on the emperor's snort to survive, the eldest princess is the emperor's sister, if she wants to embarrass Jiang Qiming, isn't it easy?

But who knows, Jiang Qiming just paused for a moment, and then laughed a few times, "In this Shangjing, except for the emperor, I have no one to fear." ”

After speaking, Jiang Qiming raised his feet and left, as if he really didn't care about anything.

There were only two men left in the room and their maidservants, and no one spoke, and was quiet for a long time.

The food on the table gradually cooled, the heat of the soup gradually dissipated, and the sky outside the window gradually darkened.

Pearl couldn't help but remind: "Madam, it's not early, let's go back?" ”

"Let's go back."

When I arrived downstairs, I realized that Jiang Qiming had already paid for this meal, Su Xiaoman sighed and muttered secretly: "We owe more and more to Lord Jiang." ”

The three-day period passed quickly, and Xiaoman and Xia Wanrou have been looking for a suitable store in the past few days, but unfortunately it is really as Jiang Qiming said, the shops in Shangjing have been greeted by the eldest princess, and none of them dare to sell to them.

The original ambition of the two of them has been polished away by hitting the wall again and again, and now they are sitting in the attic of the Manrou Ready-to-wear Workshop, looking at each other, wondering whether they should accept Jiang Qiming's shop.

"Xiaoman, in fact, I think we might as well accept Lord Jiang's kindness." Xia Wanrou said tentatively: "Actually, I think what Master Jiang said is very true, it doesn't look like he wants something from us, what do you think?" ”

Su Xiaoman sighed and didn't speak.

Seeing this, Xia Wanrou said again: "I have lived in Beijing for so many years, and I have never heard that Lord Jiang took the initiative to make friends with anyone, Xiaoman, I think Lord Jiang really appreciates your craftsmanship." I remember, didn't you make a pair of embroidery for Master Jiang at the competition? In my opinion, he already admired you at that time. ”

She frowned, "Really? ”

"Actually, I have already asked Wei Xiuyuan, he said that Lord Jiang is very busy during this time, and he has no time to plan anything, Xiaoman, don't worry, I will take care of it." Xia Wanrou continued to persuade.

Having said so much, it makes no sense for Xiaoman to continue to fight.

"Okay, then we'll go to Jiangfu now!"

Jiang Qiming also happened to be waiting for them in Jiangfu, and the three of them didn't talk nonsense when they met, and they got straight to the point, Xia Wanrou took the title deed, and Xiaoman immediately took out the silver, "Lord Jiang, we are by no means people who like to take advantage, this is the price that the store in this area deserves, you see, these are enough?" ”

Seeing this, Jiang Qiming was not ambiguous, he ordered someone to collect the money, and immediately said: "It seems that you have thought it very clearly, and you also understand that I have no intention of using you in the slightest, so I have to ask you a few more words now." ”

"The eldest princess and the emperor were both born to the queen mother, and the eldest princess grew up watching the emperor, and the two had a deep and unusual relationship. Now that you have offended the eldest princess, then you must not provoke right and wrong again, as long as you don't cause trouble, for the sake of Lu Li and Wei Xiuyuan, the emperor will not easily suppress you, you know? ”

"Got it, thank you, Lord Jiang."

The two walked out of Jiangfu and got into the carriage, and without a moment's delay, they directly ordered the coachman to go to Liuye Street.

Willow Street is named after the two rows of willow trees growing on the side of the street, and in summer, the willow leaves dance with the summer breeze, which is very beautiful. In the middle of the street, there is a large pond carved out by hand, the pond is neatly built with white marble, and there are all kinds of goldfish in it, and it is very beautiful with the turquoise aquatic plants floating with the water.

The most important reason for saying that this location is the best is because this street is close to the side gate of the palace, and there are often masters in the palace who ask their maids and eunuchs to come out to buy things. As the days went by, everyone rushed to do business on this street, so this street was also rumored to be miraculous, and the prices of shops also rose a lot.

In addition, the ladies and wives who live in this Shangjing, as well as those who want to befriend the masters of various palaces, also find this place to buy things, so the business of this street is also better.

When he arrived at the door of the store that Jiang Qiming said, Xiao Man walked in excitedly, looked at the spacious and unusually wide room, and sighed sincerely: "This shop is inevitably too big, I originally thought that the silver given to Mr. Jiang was because the store was on this street, but I didn't expect it to be because the store was too big." ”

"Now, you know why I was so surprised at first." Xia Wanrou entered the door with a smile and responded.

In addition to the storefront used to operate in this shop, there are two rooms of the same size in the back, upstairs, upstairs are also two rooms, push the door in, the room is neatly placed beds, tables and cabinets, and there is a washbasin in the corner of the room.

No, this was originally an inn?

Just when Xiao Man was puzzled, Xia Wanrou came up and explained with a smile: "This should be the place where Han Dongcheng and his concubine take a nap, maybe they were taken away in a hurry, so they didn't even take these things away." ”

"It's just cheap for us now, Sister Wanrou, I'll let people come up and clean it up in a few days, and these two houses will be ours in the future." Xiao Man had a smug smile on his face, very bright.

Xia Wanrou couldn't help but smile when she was infected, "Okay." ”

At the beginning, the store was taken away in a hurry, and many things in the store were not taken away in time, because no one cleaned them for such a long time, these things fell a layer of dust, and it was very difficult to clean. Xia Wanrou advocated throwing all these things away, but Xiaoman looked like a baby, if it wasn't for Xia Wanrou to stop her, she couldn't wait to go up and wipe them clean and move back to Lufu in person.

Thinking that Xiao Man was pregnant, Xia Wanrou had to order someone to wipe these clean them one by one, and then move to Xia Wanrou's upstairs room.

After getting the semicolon store, the two of them finally felt a lot easier, and Xiaoman was finally able to rest.

But it didn't take long for such a day to go, Xiaoman began to eat and vomit again, lying in bed all day, his body was even thinner than when he first came to Beijing, only his stomach was slightly bulging, and he finally looked pregnant.

Xia Wanrou followed and hurriedly got on the fire, and there were two big blisters on the sides of her mouth.

"Pearl, why don't you go and ask Dr. Guo to take a look, if not, invite all the doctors who can be called famous in Shangjing, and see what to do, it's not okay to always eat and vomit, adults can withstand it, and children can't stand it!"

The pearl on the side was also in a hurry, "Madam, I have asked Dr. Guo to see it, he said that this is the summer heat and Mrs. is pregnant, this stage is like this, there is no way at all." ”

Xia Wanrou took the fan on the side and fanned Xiao Man who was lying on the bed constantly, and frowned, "It's the worst, it's good to prescribe a dose of medicine, you can't let Xiao Man vomit like this all the time." ”

When it came to medicine, Xiao Man's already ugly face became even more sad, she reached out and grabbed Xia Wanrou's sleeve, and said pitifully: "Sister Wanrou, I'm already in pain enough, please don't get me those bitter potions." ”

"That's... Xiaoman, do you have anything you want to eat? Anyway, I can eat something, and if it goes on like this, the child will definitely not be able to stand it! ”

Su Xiaoman closed his eyes and thought about it, but Xuan even frowned and shook his head, "No." ”

There was already sweat on the tip of Xia Wan's anxious nose, "I'...... I'm really not worried, Pearl, you should go and ask Dr. Guo to take a look, I haven't heard it with my own ears, and I can't put my mind at ease. ”

As soon as the words fell, Wei Xiuyuan's voice suddenly came from outside, "I know how to solve this matter." ”

"Don't make a mess of it!" Xia Wanrou complained angrily,

"Isn't Xiaoman unable to eat? I specially brought a good recipe, just let Xiao Man take a look, and she will be able to go to the ground immediately, and maybe she can eat two large bowls of rice in one go. ”

This is an exaggeration, how could Xia Wanrou believe it, but now she is in a hurry, so she has to use a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

She got up and went to the outer room, looked at Wei Xiuyuan, and said suspiciously: "What the hell is the method, let me see it first." ”

"This, I really can't let you see it." Wei Xiuyuan smiled, and immediately took out a letter from his arms and shook it in front of Xia Wanrou, "Well, 'Doctor Lu' prescribed a good prescription." ”
