It was still early, and the two returned to the carriage, but did not immediately set off for the carriage.

Xiao Man put down the curtain of the carriage and looked sideways at Xia Wanrou, "Sister Wanrou, there must be something greasy in this, there are dozens of shops in it, but they can't be sold to us by such coincidence, you say, could someone be a hindrance?" ”

"But... You have a point, but who would deliberately embarrass us? Moreover, the matter of opening a semicolon is not only a few people within us, and they are still new to today. Xiaoman, could this matter just be a coincidence? Xia Wanrou frowned.

"How could it be such a coincidence, there must be something wrong with this."

Although this is just Xiaoman's speculation, and there is no factual basis, the matter is so abnormal that Xia Wanrou can't convince herself that this is just a coincidence.

But who is it?

"Madam, Lord Jiang happened to be passing by and said that he wanted to invite the two ladies to dinner."

The coachman's voice came from outside the carriage, Xia Wanrou frowned and looked at Xiao Man, and after confirming the other party's intentions, she responded: "I know, I'll go out immediately." ”

Probably for Chen Hu's affairs, the last time it was thanks to Jiang Qiming's help, and now he wants to invite the two of them to dinner, so they naturally want to go.

Not surprisingly, the coachman followed Jiang Qiming's carriage and stopped at the door of Qingshu Zhai, Xiao Man looked at the three big characters "Qingshu Zhai" with some pain, and sighed sincerely: "Lord Jiang actually invited us to eat here, it's really a waste of money." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Qiming, who happened to be on the side, also got out of the carriage, and he naturally heard this.

Therefore, Jiang Qiming couldn't help pursing his lips and smiled, and immediately led people in, saying as he walked: "Thanks to the wit of Shopkeeper Su last time, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to bring down Chen Hu so cleanly no matter what." Yes, this Shangjing is so big, but there is only this Shangsu shopkeeper who is very worthy of Qingshu Zhai. ”

"Huh?" Xiao Man exclaimed in disbelief, "Lord Jiang saw it?" ”

As he spoke, the three of them had already walked outside the room set by Jiang Qiming, Jiang Qiming smiled, but did not answer Xiaoman's words, he turned around and ordered the little maid to guard the door, and immediately took the two of them and their respective maidservants into the room.

The table in the room was full of dishes, and the goji berry chicken soup in the middle was still steaming, and you could tell at a glance that it had just been served.

Xiao Man couldn't help but be surprised again, and raised his eyes to look at Jiang Qiming, "This meal has already been prepared, could it be that Lord Jiang, you already knew that you would meet us on the street today?" ”

Jiang Qiming smiled and said nothing, he waved his hand to signal the two of them to sit down first, and then said: "I have long expected that you will encounter difficulties today, and I also know that you may come nearby, but I didn't guess so carefully, so I had to wait at this intersection, but I didn't want to really let me meet it." ”

Saying that, he was not in a hurry and served himself a bowl of chicken soup, tasted it carefully, and praised: "It makes sense that this Qingshu Zhai thing is expensive and expensive, you can taste this chicken soup, it is delicious and delicious, and it is not greasy at all." ”

"Master Jiang, you're eating after you finish speaking." Regarding the other party's sudden change of topic, Xiaoman couldn't cry or laugh.

Jiang Qiming smiled, put down the soup, but kept looking out the window.

Xiao Man and Xia Wanrou subconsciously followed his line of sight, Xu is voice in the room stopped abruptly, and the black shadow that was originally standing outside the door flashed, and the little guy who was originally guarding the door didn't know where to go.

"Pearl, you go-"

"Not necessarily." Jiang Qiming waved his hand and refused, "Let's continue, he shouldn't come back if he leaves." ”

After speaking, he put down the chicken soup in his hand and said solemnly: "Shopkeeper Su, I saw the strangeness of your dress that day, and I guessed that this might be your way to deal with Chen Hu, so I didn't debunk it at that time, but acted in this play with you." ”

"The emperor was furious, and after learning the cause and effect of the matter from us, he shut our mouths, but then he talked to the eldest princess again, and bluntly said that he would throw Chen Hu to Kangcheng, although Kangcheng is rich in materials and rich and peaceful, but he has no strengths, and he was sent by the emperor, and he didn't know how to gain a foothold after arriving, and the eldest princess was naturally worried."

"But where is the anger of the Son of Heaven so easy to quell, the eldest princess pleaded several times, she could only watch Chen Hu being sent away by the emperor, she regretted it in her heart, but at the same time, she also resented, complained about the person who made Chen Hu unable to leave Beijing."

Hearing this, Xiao Man couldn't help but point to the tip of his nose, a little panicked: "You mean, Chen Hu was forced to leave, and she thinks it was caused by me?" So these things today were planned by the eldest princess? ”

Jiang Qiming nodded and acquiesced.

Xia Wanrou was puzzled, "But how did she know that we were going to see the store today, and how did she know that we were going to those stores?" ”

Could it be that there are really ghosts in the store?

"What's so difficult about this, money can make ghosts grind, Shopkeeper Su, you should go and check the people in your house." Jiang Qiming lowered his eyes and said unhurriedly: "Investigate which shops in Shangjing are to be rented and sold, this is all what you asked your subordinates to do, right?" ”

Xiao Man's eyes widened, still in disbelief.

She has always treated people very well, never willing to punish easily, and she thinks about them when she has good food and drink, and she has never even said a word of seriousness, how can anyone be bought by money and do such a thing of selling for glory!

"It seems that the eldest princess is intent on being our enemy, Lord Jiang, what do you say we should do?" Xia Wanrou said worriedly.

Jiang Qiming frowned, raised his eyes and looked at Su Xiaoman, "What is the way of Shopkeeper Su?" ”

This Su Xiaoman has always been clever, and last time he was able to come up with such a way to deal with Chen Hu, and he also knew how to take advantage of the situation to use the emperor to pull Chen Hu off the horse, such a smart person, would he already have the idea of getting along at this time?

"I don't know." Su Xiaoman shook his head honestly, "The incident happened suddenly, and the other party is the eldest princess who is high, I don't dare to make up my mind." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Qiming couldn't help but chuckle a few times, "Shopkeeper Su, I didn't expect you to have such a difficult time when you have no idea." ”

"Master Jiang, don't make fun of me." Su Xiaoman sighed, "It's the eldest princess who offended this time." ”

originally thought that as long as he could get the shopkeeper of the king, it turned out that behind him was Chen Hu's little marquis, and now that he has got Chen Hu, he can't be powerful, but he inadvertently offended the eldest princess.

This woman is no better than a man, and the eldest princess is still the sister of the current emperor, which can't help but make Xiao Man even more difficult.

Xia Wanrou also sighed on the side, her own family and the princess's mansion were not dealt with, and now she is hated by the eldest princess, this new hatred and old hatred are counted together, maybe Xiaoman and herself will suffer together.

Looking at the worried looks of the two, Jiang Qiming chuckled: "This hasn't happened yet, look at the two of you who are worried." ”

"Lord Jiang, what you said is easy, you must know that I offended the eldest princess this time!" Su Xiaoman lamented.

As she spoke, she seemed to suddenly think of something, and stood up suddenly, "Little Marquis Chen Hu went to Kangcheng, and this Kangcheng is so good as you say, why doesn't the eldest princess accompany her?" She spoiled Chen Hu so much, why couldn't she even move forward with her, could it be that her spoiling was all pretended? ”

Xia Wanrou frowned and explained in a low voice: "The eldest princess's husband died early, she has to stay in Shangjing to manage this big family, and Shangjing is far away from Kangcheng, the eldest princess is old, she is not suitable for long-distance travel, and she will not adapt to the water and soil of Kangcheng." ”

Xiao Mannunu mouthed and sat down gloomily, "I see." ”

Thinking about it this way, before Lu Li came back, she had to keep fighting wits with this eldest princess, and when she thought of this, Xiaoman's head was big.

Shangjing looks prosperous, but it is not a good place to do business, and it is too dangerous to offend a certain powerful family at every turn without knowing it.

"You don't need to worry, I called you here this time to solve your urgent needs." Jiang Qiming finally got to the point, he looked around vigilantly, and after confirming that there was no one, he took out the title deed in his arms.

Xiao Man and Xia Wanrou were surprised, they thought that Jiang Qiming was just here to inform the two of them about the eldest princess, but they didn't want the other party to come prepared, so they even prepared the title deed.

Jiang Qiming pushed the title deed in front of Xia Wanrou and explained: "This was originally a shop of the Han family, but because of the previous incident, the emperor ordered me to rearrange the shops under the Yao and Han families, and I found that this shop was actually used by Han Dongcheng to curry favor with a concubine, and there was no half of the profit, so I took back the shop and presented it to the emperor with the title deed." However, the emperor didn't like such a small shop, so he rewarded it to me. ”

This shop is said to be unpopular with the emperor, and a rich man like Jiang Qiming naturally can't look down on it, he has been worried about what this shop should be used for, but now it's good, just give it to Su Xiaoman and Xia Wanrou.

Xia Wanrou took the land deed, glanced at the address and shop on it and laughed, becoming more and more flattered: "Lord Jiang, this shop is more than twice as big as our current store, and it is in such a good location, where can we afford it." ”

Xiao Man couldn't help but ask curiously, "It's bigger than our current store?" ”

"That's right, I originally thought that the current store was big enough, but I didn't want to have such a big store in Shangjing." Xia Wanrou didn't dare to accept this title deed rashly, so she excused herself and said, "Lord Jiang, we can't stand your kindness, so you might as well take it back." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Man couldn't help but be silently surprised in his heart, such a big store Jiang Qiming is too small, it can be imagined how large the stores this Jiang Master is in contact with on weekdays.

"The eldest princess has already ordered all the shopkeepers for sale in Shangjing, to put it mildly, if you don't accept my kindness, then your idea of opening a semicolon will be dispelled." Jiang Qiming's clouds are light and the wind is light.

Xia Wanrou and Xiao Man looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
