Chapter 12: The Affair of the Proprietor

Reading books before going to bed every night is a habit that Cheng Chen has insisted on for more than ten years, at this moment Cheng Chen is half-lying on the bed with a book, although Cheng Chen's eyes are on the book, he doesn't read a word, his mind is thinking about things, and his thoughts are constantly flying.

Although Cheng Chen didn't see the masked man tonight, he still had something to gain, Cheng Chen had learned that he was not a harsh and domineering master, so he would be able to have a lot of room to play freely in the future.

Try to test where his bottom line of tolerance is, so that he can better seek benefits for himself, which is related to whether he can wait for a way out.

Even if he really avenged his father's blood revenge, whether the masked man wants to give him his life or his life as a reward, if this is really the result, Cheng Chen also wants to seek a way to survive for the people he cares about, because Cheng Chen knows that anyone who gets involved with him will become his weakness, he is not a selfish and ruthless person, at least he doesn't want his brother and Xizhu to be hurt.

This time, from Lihong's slip of the tongue, I found a piece of information that may be important, Cheng Chen said that he wanted to see the master, and Lihong said the word 'no', what is behind this? Don't want to see me? Not nearby? Not in Chang'an? If it is the last meaning, then it will be easy to do, and if you have the opportunity to inquire about those nobles who left Chang'an during this time.

It's getting deeper into the night, and the Sandman is coming... Cheng Chen's eyelids trembled, he put down his clear thoughts and fell asleep, in which he dreamed that his only brother in the two worlds was holding himself on the swing in the backyard, stealing his father's official hat and playing...

In the early morning of the next day, Cheng Chen's master and servant sat in the dining room next to the room to prepare for breakfast; A bowl of black sesame and red bean porridge, tea eggs, cold radish shredded side dishes, osmanthus cut cake. These are all made of Xizhu, and Xizhu's cooking skills have been trained by Cheng Chen's changing requirements.

"Miss, just now a maid sent a name sticker, saying that Liang Gongzi sent someone to send it, saying that Miss had agreed to the invitation last night." Xiaoqing said while serving porridge for Cheng Chen.

Cheng Chen's narrow and beautiful Danfeng eyes narrowed slightly. I casually promised last night, and this guy came to post early in the morning. It is definitely not okay to refuse, but last night Cheng Chen said that he would no longer meet guests, so he could only ask him to go to the lobby of the West Pavilion.

"Xiaoqing, later, you go to the outer pavilion to inform the welcoming servant, and when Liang Gongzi comes, he will take him to the lobby of the West Pavilion in the evening, and say that I will see him there."

"Yes, miss." Xiaoqing responded.

"Miss, wait for the slave to accompany Xiaoqing."

Xizhu's eyes flickered, and Cheng Chen knew the little Jiujiu in her heart at a glance

Cheng Chen gently blew the porridge in the spoon, looked at Xizhu and quipped; "Xizhu, are you trying to sneak out?"

"People don't think like this, but Miss, you reminded the slave maid, and let Xiaoqing take the slave out to buy some delicious food for Miss after finishing the errand." Xizhu smiled and looked at Cheng Chen expectantly.

Cheng Chen smiled evilly, learned Xizhu's words, and said, "People want to go too!" ”

"Yes, since I followed Miss, I haven't seen Miss go on the street, in the past it was because there was no chance, now Miss should be able to go out, Xiaoqing, can Miss go out?" Xizhu heard that his young lady wanted to go together, and the more he talked, the more excited he became.

"I'm not very sure, it should be possible. Girl Yinyue and Miss Moxiang have gone out before, but they have to follow two guards. Xiaoqing stopped the chopsticks in his hand and thought about it very seriously.

Bringing a guard is surveillance, afraid of people running away, and then I will see Mego and ask in detail later, it is good to be able to go out and walk around, nest in one place all day, more than the lady of the mansion, and come to this era only to remain the vague memory of childhood on the street.

I really want to live happily for a lifetime, go to the end of the world with martial arts and swords, hoe the strong and help the weak, rob the rich and help the poor, and be a woman.

"Chen'er! Chen'er! ”

Cheng Chen took Xizhu for a walk in the garden after breakfast, and heard Mego calling her.

"Chen'er, good news, the proprietor has answered, and the proprietor has agreed to the bunch of rhetoric that was originally prepared before he has said it." Mei Ge walked over and happily took Cheng Chen's little hand, looking even happier than Cheng Chen.

"Really? Thank you so much, Sister Mei. Although Cheng Chen already knew that Lu Jun would agree, he still had to respond to Mei Ge's kindness.

"Hey, my sister didn't help much, thank you to the owner! The owner is so good to my sister! Giggles! Mei Ge couldn't stop smiling, looking at Cheng Chen with a strange look in her eyes, with a look of 'you know'.

Mei Ge still looked at Cheng Chen with that 'you know' expression, and continued: "This owner's mansion is engaged in the grain business, but it is the number one among the rich people in Chang'an, and the owner himself is very capable, and the family's business is in his hands to expand into the largest grain merchant in this dynasty." ”

"Oh? Since the owner's mansion is a grain merchant, how could he open a green building? Cheng Chen understood why Mego would tell him this. That 'you know' look is clear.

Mei Ge replied as a matter of course: "This business should make money, not only the Qinglou, but also the owner has begun to get involved in other industries." ”

"Oh, the owner is really young and promising." Cheng Chen can't deny it.

"Who said no, you see that those sons and brothers of the same age as him are still fighting cocks and walking dogs, and when they are drinking, the owner has already made such a big career. It's also because they are busy with business, and the owner hasn't gotten married at the age of twenty-six. Saying that, Mimi looked at Cheng Chen very meaningfully, and always wanted to help Cheng Chen achieve good things.

In this ancient era where the imperial power was supreme and the status of merchants was low, he could climb so high, and he really had the ability. Lu Jun will not be the man wearing the mask, and his body shape and momentum are different. The one wearing the mask should be Lu Jun's backer, maybe none of these industries are his own.

"In the past, Mo Xiang had been pestering the owner for a long time, and she wanted to be a concubine, but the owner didn't pay attention to her. Later, he caught up with the prince of the country. Mei Ge leaned close to Cheng Chen's ear and whispered.

"Hehe, Sister Mei, the swallow has no ambitions, sister, thank you, sister." Cheng Chen was stunned, so he could only smile and reply.

Mei Ge was mistaken, and said: "Also, my sister is even more beautiful and talented, and if she chooses the wife of the businessman's family, she will do it." ”

Cheng Chen was amused, how could Mei Ge, the image of a passionate and stupid eldest sister, be mixed in this complex circle? Pleasing! Why do you have the same eyesight as your own little maid, and you can't understand the words, Cheng Chen subconsciously glanced at Xizhu, and this girl's eyes really shone brightly.

"Sister, can my sister go out on the streets?" Cheng Chen interrupted the topic, otherwise she was afraid that she would not be able to keep her mouth shut.

"If my sister wants to go out, it's okay, but I have to call two guards to follow, and the girls with higher value in Xuanyu Pavilion want to go out, and the rules are like this." Mei Ge explained, for fear that Cheng Chen would be upset, and seeing that Cheng Chen was not angry, he said: "If you go out in the afternoon, there are still some street shops that have not been opened in the morning, and they are not lively enough." I'll call someone over with a hood later, it's too noticeable to cover my face. ”

Cheng Chen was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "That's good, sister, thank you, sister!" ”

———————————————————

"Hurry up, Miss, okay. Let's go to Dongshi, it's a little far. ”

Cheng Chen listened to Xizhu's shouting, and smiled helplessly, so that he could condone the personal maid like this. It is also suspected that Shengpingfang is full of restaurants and buildings, and there are not enough shops, so I want to go to the East Market.

Cheng Chen picked up the hat and put it on his head and turned around in front of the big bronze mirror on the dresser, this is Cheng Chen's bad taste according to the dress in the modern TV series in his previous life, the hat is surrounded by a white gauze hat, which is used to cover his face, and he is wearing a white skirt. It's exactly like in the TV series. Cheng Chen went out satisfied.
