Hearing that her tone was so firm, the intermediary who was anxious to solve the matter told her in detail.

It's nothing more than two relatives fighting for this storefront, and in the end they were injured and bleeding into an uncontrollable situation, and then one of them didn't want to make any more trouble, so he was in a hurry to sell the store, and wanted to take the money to hide elsewhere, so he was in a hurry to make a move.

When Xiang Jiuling heard this, she came up with an idea to let the two of them meet again, and she came to help make peace.

In fact, she didn't say much, but just helped the two families to seek common ground while reserving differences, tried to win, and negotiated a suitable price, so that their anger with each other was dispersed, and in the end, the two families decided to turn the conflict into jade silk and successfully resolved it.

The intermediary didn't expect her to solve the problem so quickly, and she couldn't help but have a little more admiration in her eyes. Xiang Jiuling also got a discount from him because of this, and the price was reduced a lot, saving a lot of money.

As soon as she got the store, she began to renovate and prepare to open as soon as possible, after all, she opened early and made money early.

The moonlight shone silently on her face through the window, Wen Xi looked at it even more, and persuaded loudly: "It's been a few days, it's really not early, you can rest quickly, I'll do the renovation thing." ”

"Out of the way, there's one more point to finish."

Xiang Jiuling has always had a beginning and an end to doing things, if one thing is not done, she has no heart to do anything else, and her heart is like something gnawing, so she has to finish it every time.

Looking at the drawings she made, Wen Xi was a little surprised, which he had never seen before.

The layout drawings she drew were much better than those in the barracks, and every detail was marked, presumably to prevent mistakes. He silently looked at the drawings in front of him, and thought to himself, he had learned another trick from her.

When the candle flame was about to burn out, there was another sound in the alley, and Xiang Jiuling put down his pen.

The next day, she asked Qin Zhenzhen to inquire to see where there were craftsmen who were fair and quick to do things, she didn't want that kind of grinding, otherwise she would make more than half less money.

Here, Xiang Jiuling was busy renovating the storefront, and on the other side, Wen Xi was meeting his friend Song Zhiyi in the teahouse.

The two haven't seen each other for many years, and they only got in touch by chance recently, and they have a lot to say after they meet.

Song Zhiyi drank a cup of tea, sighed and said, "Brother Wen, if you hadn't delivered the letter, I wouldn't have known that you came to the capital, and you would have concealed it too tightly." How have you been all these years? ”

"It's fine."

Wen Xi didn't talk about the previous escape, but just briefly talked about the events of the past few years, and his tone was calm, as if he was talking about someone else's business.

After listening, Song Zhiyi couldn't help but sigh again, thinking that he had suffered a lot and suffered a lot of sins over the years, but his temperament has always been like this, and he hides many things in his heart and doesn't want to say it, that mouth is like a clam shell, if he doesn't want to say it, others can't pry it open.

"I forgot to tell you that the five princes are also coming, so in order not to attract attention, so let me come over to meet you first, and let me greet you."

The fifth prince in his mouth, Gu Jinting, was a student of General Wen, and after learning from Song Zhiyi that Wen Xi came to Beijing, he wanted to meet him.

Back then, he also wanted to help the Wen family, but he was not favored and did not have any power, and his grandfather's family repeatedly blocked him and did not let him say more, so he could only watch the Wen family being wronged and humiliated.

Now that he sees Wen Xi again, he feels that his face is dull and his heart is ashamed.

"Your Highness doesn't have to be like this, don't take the past to heart, you're not wrong."

Wen Xi's words calmed his heart suddenly.

Gu Jinting said in a low voice: "Since you have returned to Beijing, that is, you have thought clearly about ending the affairs of the year, then we have to act as soon as possible, but now the situation is more complicated than at the beginning, in order to contain some important ministers, my father arranged for several officials to take office, and they were harmonious on the surface, but they fought hard behind the scenes." ”

Then, he analyzed the current situation with them, and by the way, he talked about who else secretly supported, and it seemed that he had thoroughly understood the entire platoon, and it seemed that he had put a lot of effort into it over the years.

Wen Xi heard the words and said: "Thank you for the five princes for bothering, I am not in the capital, thanks to your help in the investigation, in fact, I also found some things outside the capital." ”

The three of them were discussing in the teahouse box, Xiang Jiuling had already found the craftsman here, and she said simply and clearly: "Don't worry, you can work here with me, there are three meals a day, and there is also a place to rest temporarily, and the salary will not be less, and I will ask someone to bring you meat cakes later." ”

Patty......

The eyes of these artisans lit up when they heard that there were meatloaf.

They are all hard laborers, although they often work for those big families, but they can't eat anything good, those people think very highly of themselves, treat them all as cats and dogs, give them a few steamed buns, a bowl of pickles, where to eat meat and vegetables.

With such good treatment, the craftsmen are naturally very active in their work.

Xiang Jiuling showed them the drawings she had drawn, and they all immediately showed surprised expressions, this drawing was simply too exquisite, as if it were real, it seemed that this proprietress had some way, so they didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

"You're going to buy books?"

Wen Xi came back a little late today, holding a few different books in his hand.

He said that he wanted to take the road of the imperial examination, so he naturally would not slack off, Xiang Jiuling didn't ask much, so he asked him to wash his hands and wait for dinner.

Two days later, when Xiang Jiuling went to a carpenter to buy wood, she saw Wen Xi approaching a teahouse with a person, who was dressed and had an extraordinary demeanor, she couldn't help but feel strange, didn't Wen Xi say that they were all in Wen Shu, how could they appear here?

She simply followed into the teahouse, and said to the man: "I am the lady of the guest just now, he forgot his money bag at home and didn't take it, I sent it to him, where is he?" ”

"Oh, it's in the innermost small box, it's right opposite the theater, and the play is about to start, so why don't you stay and watch the play, madam."

Xiang Jiuling didn't respond, and went according to the man's instructions, and when she knocked on the door of the small box, she found that in addition to her husband and the man, there was also a man sitting inside, this person was more gorgeously dressed, and the edges of the patterns on the robe were embroidered with gold thread, and the idlers could not afford to consume them.

Seeing that it was her, Wen Xi couldn't help but be stunned.

"I just wanted to tell you about the storefront, and I saw you enter here from afar, so I ...... And he followed. ”

Xiang Jiuling said frankly, her expression did not change in the slightest, she didn't want to have anything to hide from him, in fact, there was no need.
