Chapter 148: The Feeling of Swallowing a Fly
King Chen took the letter in the butler's hand, opened it and saw that it was a chapter of invitations, and the invitation card was written with the words "Lord of Qinghe". After a closer look, it turned out that the owner of the new store invited Chu Lixue to participate in the opening of his new store.
"It seems that we are still using him to check the details, and the other party can't wait to invite my princess to participate in the opening of his new store, which is really a thing that doesn't know whether to live or die." King Chen said coldly.
Hearing this, everyone looked at Chu Lixue together, why did this person send an invitation to Chu Lixue? Is it to show your identity? Or are you going to prepare to fight with Chu Lixue? In the eyes of everyone, the latter situation will be more serious, but as long as he fights with Princess Chen, then he will inevitably be forced to show his identity.
According to the appointed day, the man's new store opened, and when the boss came out to entertain the guests, he found that the other party was King Ling of Dongyu Kingdom. I really didn't see it.
"It's King Ling, it turned out to be King Ling, but why didn't he go to Dongyu Kingdom to make money and come to Beichen Kingdom." The cronies beside Dingguo Gong said angrily.
"Don't make a fuss, it's not surprising that he is not surprised, this King Ling is a prince who does not compete with others in Dongyu, and he is also quite liked by the emperor of Dongyu, but he always shows that he is not interested in the throne, and in the end, the emperor of Dongyu has to choose a prince among his sons."
"Princess, since he doesn't fight for anything, why do you want to make waves in our Beichen Kingdom?"
"This is not difficult to understand, you think, he has been hiding his strength in Dongyu Country and choosing to hibernate, then Beichen Kingdom is not his country, what is done here The emperor and prince of Dongyu Kingdom don't care at all, as long as he says that it is to suppress the business of Beichen Kingdom and serve the country, he will not be impeached." Chu Lixue said lightly.
"But......" The cronie still wanted to ask something, but he didn't know where to start, not to mention that he had already seen Ye Wushuang's unkind gaze, he didn't want to provoke the Jianghu gang to chase and kill him because of his curiosity.
Chu Lixue was wearing a moon-white and pale pink brocade long skirt, the skirt and cuffs were trimmed with silver wire, the cuffs were thin with pale yellow patterns, the light pink gauze cloak was draped over the shoulders, and the skirt was embroidered with large purple duck flowers, which was very good-looking.
"The small shop opened today, and it is really brilliant to be able to invite the county lord of Qinghe to come." King Ling said with his trademark smile.
"His Royal Highness King Ling warmly invited, why didn't Concubine Ben come, it's just that Concubine Ben's store is also a ready-to-wear store, I'm afraid I'm going to grab business with His Royal Highness King Ling." Chu Lixue smiled lightly.
"Oh? Is it? That's really good, I have heard that the county lord of Qinghe is the best at business and financial management, and it is also a good choice to take this opportunity to learn from the county lord of Qinghe. King Ling still smiled.
The hypocritical greetings between the two people finally made some people unbearable, and they immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Royal Highness King Ling, Qinghe is already the wife of this king, you should call her the princess, why do you still call her the county lord, do you know that the princess is one level higher than the county lord?" King Chen said coldly.
This damn thing, the Golden Palace wants to rob him of his daughter-in-law in public, and now he is unscrupulously called the county lord here, the most annoying thing is his peach blossom eyes, which keep wandering on Chu Lixue's body, King Chen's mood at this moment, I can't wait to dig out his eyes, and I still crush them on the ground.
"The county lord and princess. Hehe, it's just a title, why should the prince be so mindful. King Ling said with a smile. This is very flattering, that's right, although the county lord and the princess are one order apart, the county lord refers to Chu Lixue's status before marriage, and the princess is just an honor that can only be obtained by attaching herself to a man. If it is really compared, the county lord is more worthy of envy than the princess.
"His Royal Highness King Ling has always been so sharp-tongued, but I don't know that when you invited this concubine to come today, you didn't even have a cup of tea, could it be that His Royal Highness King Ling didn't even understand the reason for serving tea to guests?" Chu Lixue changed the subject.
"Where, where, wait a minute." Immediately, King Ling turned around and said coldly to the maidservant beside him: "Why don't you go to serve tea quickly, what are you doing here?" ”
Hearing this, the maidservant opened her mouth, then bit her lip and walked quickly to the store to prepare tea, obviously it was explained by King Ling himself, don't give them tea, the purpose is to give them ugly, but why did he put all the sins on himself.
After about a cup of tea, the maid walked out with a few cups of tea, came to a few people, curtsied, and everyone picked up the teacup and took a sip, but Chu Lixue looked at the teacup, "His Royal Highness King Ling is going to serve tea to the guests, since this is the case, then the concubine will not bother." After finishing speaking, Chu Lixue walked away.
Everyone didn't know what to do for a while when they saw this, and this Princess Chen was too sudden, so why didn't they give them a hint. Now that half of this tea has been drunk, it is really not good to leave like this, and look at the expression of King Ling, it is as ugly as swallowing a fly alive.
King Chen, Shangguan Tianyu and Ye Wushuang didn't drink tea, and when they saw that Chu Lixue had left, they immediately turned around and left, and there were only a few old guys left in the store, as if they were coming to drink tea in someone's store.
Back at Deyue Tower, Chu Lixue looked out of the window of the private room on the second floor, and took in everything in the shop opposite, this King Ling was really a bit dead, and he was doing business under Chu Lixue's nose, wasn't he afraid of smashing the pot?
Obviously, the other party has a comprehensive plan, making ready-to-wear business under Chu Lixue's nose, and squeezing out many ready-to-wear stores in Cloud City, only Hu Siniang's Jinxiuzhuang is still gritting his teeth and insisting.
After all, Hu Siniang's splendid workshop is to make a bridal wedding dress, and the shop opened by King Ling has not yet surpassed Hu Siniang's embroidery, which is also one of the reasons why Hu Siniang's splendid workshop can survive.
"Princess, I really didn't expect it, the owner of this garment shop is actually King Ling, and there are really a lot of people who go to his store to buy clothes, these people are really, I don't want to think about it, I gave all the silver to Dongyu and made a contribution." Ning Xiang pouted.
"No, since he is doing business in Beichen Kingdom, then he still has to pay taxes, and he can't stop paying taxes because he is the prince of Dongyu Kingdom, if that's the case, then the book of the household department should be changed." Chu Lixue said lightly. It's as simple as saying that the dish is rotten and can be thrown away.
That's an official, it's not a cabbage, you can replace it if you say it's changed, these people are a group of henchmen who were replaced after the emperor ascended the throne, how can they be easily replaced.
Chu Lixue saw the doubts in Ning Xiang's heart, and then said lightly: "Ning Xiang, in the past, this world has always been only for the transfer of interests, and the current Hubu Shangshu was promoted from Shilang, he is different from Zhou Xiang before, but his ability to do things is better than Zhou Xiang, it's not that no one has found out, it's just because his temper is upright and doesn't conform to those people's wishes, but since he took over the Hubu, many things have been done well." Therefore, I believe that he will definitely collect taxes from this His Royal Highness King Ling, and he will definitely not collect less. ”
"Princess, is our clothing store still open?" Ning Xiang said softly. She is really not optimistic about opening a clothing store at this time, this Ling Wang has already opened a new one, and it is also a tailor-made high-end route, if the princess opens another one with the same concept, it will be said that it is plagiarism.
"Ning Xiang, not only must it be opened, but it must be opened lively, you go to Xin Yaxuan, let Sister Crescent Moon pick out all the previous Oiran, and be on call at any time."
"Yes, Princess." Immediately, Ning Xiang took the order and walked out, although she didn't know how the princess would respond to King Ling's provocation, but she knew that the princess would definitely have a way to deal with it, and all she could do was to seriously complete everything arranged by the princess.
When Chu Lixue came to Xin Yaxuan, Xinyue had already gathered all the Oirans together, and in order not to attract attention, they all arranged for them to wait in the backyard, and even those rehearsal personnel didn't know.
When those people saw Chu Lixue, they stood as dignified as they could, and they didn't dare to be frivolous at all. Seeing them like this, Chu Lixue nodded with satisfaction, and said randomly: "I know that you are all the Oiran who once caused a sensation in Cloud City, and your beauty is also the best in the world, in two days, the concubine's clothing store will open, at that time, I hope you will go to cheer up, I don't know how many you are willing?" ”
Although the other party's identity was very unbearable, Chu Lixue never looked down on them, but on the contrary, many things were done by asking them to do what they wanted, and they never forced anything.
Of course, these Oirans knew that what Chu Lixue wanted them to do was definitely not something that hurt nature or damage their dignity.
"Princess, just say what arrangements you have, our sisters will listen to you." It was Yu Qing, the most popular of these Oiran, who spoke.
Hearing this, Chu Lixue looked at Yu Qing, smiled at her and nodded, "What I want you to do is very simple, I promise to make you stand out." ”
"Really? Princess. The crowd rejoiced.
Chu Lixue believes that it is difficult for people who are used to the days of the stars holding the moon to accept a dull and boring life in a short period of time, although these people used to be Oiran, it will be very handy for them to deal with those occasions, but when I think of King Ling seeing all this, the feeling of slapping in the face feels very cool to think about.
In the next few days, Chu Lixue took Ning Xiang and Remnant Snow and Wanyue to start secret special training for these Oiran, the purpose of which was to make them a blockbuster on the opening day of the clothing store.
