What makes Zhen Cheng puzzling is that Pei Jin's operation is highly respected by Hong Shaoqing. Even Lu Shaoqing, who had been in the West Building, laughed loudly when he heard that the envoy was trembling with fear from the knife dance.

Zhen Cheng couldn't sit still.

This is the first time he has met Pei Jin, and in order to win, he has made countless preparations. Even before today, he felt like he was winning.

However, the attitude of the two young ministers made him puzzled, and he had to re-examine his opponent.

Seeing off the nobles, Zhen Cheng immediately went into the warehouse and picked up a few things, and then ordered: "Take the box inside and go with me to the East Building." ”

When he arrived at Pei Jin's territory, Zhen Cheng found out that this woman was really picky! What was the original appearance of the East Building, and what is still the same, but the layout has changed slightly, and she hasn't even repainted the columns!

Zhen Cheng couldn't understand and was shocked, "Mrs. Pei, you still use the original tables, chairs and screens?" Don't change the yarn on the round platform on the first floor? ”

Pei Jindao: "Aren't these good enough?" Do you question Meng Qinglan's vision? ”

Zhen Cheng immediately denied it, "The objects that Mrs. Hou picked are naturally excellent. ”

"Isn't that all there is to it?" Pei Jin looked taken for granted, "Although Meng Qinglan is not very good, after all, he has been pampered for many years, and he still has basic aesthetics." In that case, why should I spend any more money? Wouldn't it be good for me to use the rest of the money for repairs to make cold medicine and give it to the poor people? ”

Zhen Cheng thought that sending medicine was just a high-sounding statement, an excuse to save money, and the businessman was very profitable, how could Pei Jin send medicine for nothing?

Anyway, the Zhen family never makes a loss-making business.

So Zhen Cheng said: "Mrs. Pei still has to take care of the visitors, arrange some dry landscapes, swing racks, etc., so that the mission will feel at home, right?" ”

Pei Jin sneered and asked, "Shopkeeper Xiao Zhen, you are moving yurts and making Ao bags, which costs both silver and labor." The mission stayed for a while and patted its ass and left, and you still have to remove these and replace them with new ones, and then curry favor with the next small country, are you tired? ”

"Zhen is having fun."

Pei Jin raised his eyebrows, "I'm different from you, the barbarians are here to fight the autumn wind, why should you give a good face?" Even if I let them live in the cowshed, I have to bear it! ”

Zhen Cheng was shocked again, the environment was not cleaned up, and the meals did not care about the taste of the mission, she was not ashamed but proud? Has she always been so rigid?

Zhen Cheng calmed down: Don't be in a hurry, there are two years of battle with Pei Jin. Let her opponent run rampant first, make her let her guard down, and then attack him unprepared, this strategy is the right one. What's more, Pei Jin is so conceited and impulsive, it is not certain whether he can last for two years.

Thinking of this, Zhen Cheng smiled and said: "Mrs. Pei, in order to decorate the West Building, I have collected a lot of utensils, including ornaments from Heyu and Chaoli, thinking that the East Building can be used, so I sent them to you." ”

Pei Jin said: "No need, I don't need this!" The next time they live in your west building, I'll have to send them back. Anyway, our East Building is this kind of hospitality style, and we will not change it! ”

Zhen Cheng: "......"

Shouldn't she take it with the flow? Shouldn't we be politely thanked? Why doesn't she play her cards according to common sense?

"Mrs. Pei, I have already brought the things below, you might as well accept them. This is the next thought, thinking that no matter whether you win or lose, it is important to do things beautifully together. ”

Pei Jin looked at him with a smile, "Xiao Zhen, not only do you do things beautifully, but you also speak beautifully." ”

Zhen Cheng smiled and said, "Mrs. Pei is falsely praised. ”

"But I'm suspicious in life, and I always feel that as an opponent, Shopkeeper Zhen shouldn't be so enthusiastic. Xiao Zhenna, there won't be any hidden weapons in those ornaments, right? ”

Zhen Cheng denied repeatedly, "I am loyal and honest, how can I make a fuss about objects?" ”

Pei Jin looked suspicious: "Really?" But there's a strange smell on you. ”

Zhen Cheng was taken aback, "Mrs. Pei, don't talk nonsense, how can I often bathe in a lot?" ”

"Yes," Pei Jin chuckled softly, "The smell of conspiracy." ”

！！！

Zhen Cheng was about to argue, when he heard Pei Jin say: "You must have seen that the East Building had taken the lead and wanted to bribe me to show mercy to your subordinates, right?" ”

A smile appeared on Zhen Cheng's face, "Mrs. Pei is really good at laughing, you can use these objects, and they have nothing to do with our fight." ”

Pei Jin sighed and said reluctantly: "That's okay, I'll reluctantly accept it." But I can't take advantage of you, so let's do it, if you are seriously ill and go to Baorentang, I can give you a 20% discount. Sincere, right? ”

Zhen Cheng: "......"

He barely squeezed out a smile, "Thank you, Mrs. Pei." ”

Zhen Cheng went back to the West Building, Pei Jin ordered someone to carry the wooden box and box to the private room where he lived, frowned and looked at these things, and was not in a hurry to open them.

Jing Yuan came in with some official documents and asked, "Sent by the Zhen family?" Why don't you open it and take a look? ”

Pei Jin smiled, and opened a few boxes casually, and sure enough, they were all vases, incense burners and other ornaments.

Finally, she looked at the only unopened box on the table and said softly, "Zhen Cheng is sure that I will keep it for myself, what is it?" ”

She took out a vial from the medicine box and poured two pills in her hand, one for herself and one for Jing Yuan.

Jing Yuan didn't even ask, and immediately swallowed the medicine.

Pei Jin carefully opened the box, and it turned out to be a Su embroidered fan.

Jing Yuan frowned, and was about to step forward, but Pei Jin snapped and closed the box again.

"This fan was obviously prepared before, and so was the poison on the fan. Today, the East Building made the Zhen family jealous, so they took out this thing.

He thought that I liked the fan, maybe he knew that I bought a batch from Bai Dangjia, or maybe he knew that I received Huang Ruixia's fan. Either way, it shows that the Zhen family has been secretly staring at me for a long time.

Although they had been poisoned two years ago, I was in good health and the little county lord was gradually recovering, so they re-prepared the ingredients. I'll give it to you first, maybe it's also a test to see if I can solve it. ”

"Seeing that I am sick at home, you conclude that you can't detoxify?"

Pei Jin nodded, "Thanks to the prince for pretending well." The reason why they are not in a hurry to give me poison is because the poison is not easy to obtain, and second, they feel that I can't afford to make big waves, and they will take all the family wealth, so there is no need to worry. The reason for using poison now is to get me out of the Wanghu Tower competition as soon as possible. ”

She looked up at Jing Yuan, "The person who supports the Zhen family behind his back must have a noble status, does the prince say yes?" ”

Jing Yuan said: "This king has some suspicions, but the other party is as cautious as I am, and I have not been able to find any evidence so far." ”

What was not yet confirmed, Pei Jin did not ask, but found a bottle with some powder in it.

She handed the porcelain vase to Jing Yuan, "If you want to track it, you can use this object." The smell of this powder is very light, and it can be stained on clothing, and it will only be infected after meeting this person for more than a quarter of an hour. And this kind of taste can attract butterflies. ”

Speaking of this, Pei Jin smiled, "This is also auspicious from the sky, and it will definitely spread when the time comes." ”
