The carriage out of the house was stable, Chu Jiu held a hand stove, leaning on the soft cushion, but he didn't feel too uncomfortable. Ice #Fire * Chinese.

The business of several shops was quite lively, and Chu Jiu personally got out of the carriage to take a look.

They come and go as housekeepers of large families, and most of them are ordered, and they can be sent on an agreed day. There are not many retail investors who really come to pick up the goods, and a few can be seen sporadically.

The account books are all recorded clearly, and there is no need for Chu Jiu to explore more.

"Go to the Nine Mansions." Chu Jiu returned to the carriage and instructed the coachman.

There were many pedestrians on the road, and the coachman drove the carriage very carefully.

Qiu Die'er's carriage came from the front and ran fast.

The two carriages were about to collide head-on, and the frightened coachman quickly stopped the carriage.

Chu Jiu was sitting well, but he was flashed, and subconsciously reached out to protect his stomach.

"Is the princess alright?" Pei'er nervously straightened Chu Jiu's body.

"It's okay, let's go see what's going on." Chu Jiu returned his hand and pressed his waist gently.

Pell nodded, pushed open the carriage door and asked, "What's going on?" Stop so quickly. ”

"The carriage of the princess of Xishu Kingdom is going too fast, and if you can't avoid it, you can only stop, otherwise it will crash." The driver was also covered in a cold sweat.

The princess of the Western Shu Kingdom? Hearing this, Chu Jiu got up and walked out.

At this time, Qiu Die'er also got out of the carriage.

Ben wanted to say a few words, but when he saw Chu Jiu walking out, the words in his throat were swallowed back.

My brother said it, he doesn't care how to make trouble, this Chu Jiu can't be provoked.

Chu Jiu looked at Qiu Die'er's arrogance that instantly lowered, straightened her skirt and walked over.

"Why is the princess in such a hurry?"

A smiling voice sounded, Qiu Die'er came back to her senses, smiled awkwardly and said, "Hurry up to the teahouse to listen to the play, I heard that today's play is very exciting." ”

Through the veil, Chu Jiu only saw her smiling eyes that were exactly the same as Qiu Safeng's slightly bent, and knew that she was smiling.

Chu Jiu saw that the two coachmen had staggered the carriage, his expression narrowed, and he waved his hand: "That's it, don't miss the wonderful scene." The princess walks slowly, watching her step. ”

Without Qiu Safeng by his side, Qiu Dieer didn't dare to talk nonsense, so she could only return to the carriage and let the coachman continue walking.

Chu Jiu glanced at the driver of the carriage in which Qiu Die'er was riding, frowned, and called Pei'er to whisper a few words.

Then Pei'er glanced at Chu Jiu with a little worry, and turned to leave.

There are also a lot of people in Jiujiu, and Wudu, this Jiujiu, has always been the best one in Chu Jiu's shop to run a wine business.

Chu Jiu stood at the door and watched for a while, and let Xiao Er help him in.

Although Shopkeeper Fang is now in charge of many shops, he is still used to working in the attic of Jiu Yan.

Chu Jiu didn't let people report in advance, and went upstairs directly.

Shopkeeper Fang was sighing at a pile of accounts, and when he saw Chu Jiu coming, surprise immediately appeared in his eyes.

"Master!" Shopkeeper Fang hurriedly got up and cleaned up the soft collapse, and turned around to take the cloak that Chu Jiu had just taken off.

"I'll come and take a look. As soon as winter comes, there are a lot of things, and I don't know if you can be busy with so many shops. Chu Jiu smiled.

Shopkeeper Fang sighed and said with a slightly embarrassed smile: "The previous things were fine, but recently there has been more business between Coral and Xishu Kingdom, and it hasn't been smoothed out for a while." ”

"I'll think about it later and see if there's anyone right for you." Chu Jiu sat down, gave the hand stove to Xiao Er, and asked him to change it for her.

"The business of Xishu is not easy to do. I calculated that the first batch of wine was lost by 30%. Shopkeeper Fang frowned.

There are mostly mountain roads along the way, which are not easy to walk, and occasionally encounter wolves, and Chu Jiu is considered to have losses.

The loss of 30% is indeed a bit large. If you can directly open a winemaking workshop in Xishu in the coming year, it is a good choice.

"The prince of the left and right Xishu Kingdom is still here, I will go back and discuss with him to see if there is a better way." Chu Jiu pressed his eyebrows lightly, and he was a little tired after walking so many shops.

"If the master is tired, why don't you go and sleep next door for a while?" The shopkeeper has always left three rooms here, and people who come and go to deliver goods can rest for a while.

"Well, I'd better go and see the storeroom first, and then I'll have to go home soon. There are a lot of things going on in the house, so you have to prepare for it, and it's going to be lively again. Chu Jiu took a deep breath.

On the way back, Chu Jiu leaned on the cushion and squinted a little for a while.

I don't know if it's a delusion, I always feel that my body is much heavier than the last pregnancy, and my belly is obviously not very big, so I feel tired when I walk.

When Chu Jiu got out of the carriage, Pei'er was already waiting at the door.

Seeing Chu Jiu, Pei'er hurriedly stepped forward to support her and nodded lightly at her.

At this moment, Qiu Die'er was sitting on a chair in the main hall of the small building in the middle of the lake, and she didn't know where to lose her veil, and there was still a horror on her face that had not receded.

What just happened?

She was about to go to the play, but the coachman drove the carriage to a remote alley and wanted to tie her up!

If it hadn't been for the maid next to the princess who arrived in time, she wouldn't have known where she had been tied up at this time.

"Didn't you boil a bowl of soothing soup for the princess? It's not a small fright. As soon as Chu Jiu entered the main hall, he saw Qiu Die'er sitting there in a daze, and her hand holding the tea bowl was still shaking.

"The princess." When Qiu Die'er saw Chu Jiu coming back, she shouted tremblingly.

You can't blame her for being timid, this person is unfamiliar with the place, if she is really kidnapped, it may not be what will happen.

"Slave and maid, let's boil." Pei'er helped Chu Jiu to sit on the chair and quickly responded.

Chu Jiu didn't rush to speak, reached out and poured a glass of water, and slowly drank to warm up.

"How did you find out that the driver had a problem?" Qiu Die'er can make trouble, but she is not stupid. She also figured it out at this moment, if Chu Jiu hadn't found out earlier, it would not have been possible to meet that Pei'er by chance.

"Pants and shoes." Chu Jiu put down the tea bowl: "In this weather, it is very cold for the coachman to drive the carriage, they will wear thick-soled cotton shoes, and they will tie their trousers tightly to prevent the cold wind from pouring in." Your driver obviously doesn't meet this requirement, and it looks like he has changed his clothes on the spot, and he hasn't had time to pick them up. ”

Qiu Die'er stared and thought about it, as if this was really the case. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but when Chu Jiu said it, I figured it out.

"Thank you for today's events." Qiu Die'er got up and thanked Chu Jiu very formally.

Not to mention the grace of saving lives, it can be regarded as a great grace.

"You'll learn to be smarter in the future. Your brother is fighting for the skin of a tiger, and that man can't be an exaggeration to describe him as a brute, and kidnapping you is just a warning. Chu Jiu didn't look at Qiu Die'er when he spoke, but drifted his gaze to the door.

Qiu Die'er's heart tightened, and she said quite anxiously: "That person promised my eldest brother early in the morning that he would not attack the Xishu Kingdom, why is he going to regret it in the next few months?" ”

"Are you stupid?" Chu Jiu looked at her with a smile: "Don't attack the Xishu Kingdom, is it because you don't want to?" Also, if you attack you, it is not called attacking the Western Shu Kingdom. That person is used to grabbing people's weaknesses and arresting you, even if it breaks your eldest brother's bones, he won't blink. ”

Qiu Die'er was stunned, and then her eyes lit up: "You mean, he planned to lure us out early in the morning and use me to hold my eldest brother hostage?" ”
