When the braised elbow was served, Su Shi remained motionless like an old monk sitting in meditation. Lin Mo was about to remind him, but Chen Xiaolan shook his head lightly at him, signaling Lin Mo not to disturb Su Shi.

When all four dishes were served, the rich aroma made Su Shi wake up from his contemplation.

Although Su Shi was so hungry that his chest was close to his back, he did not gobble it up, but slowly tore off a piece of chicken breast with chopsticks and chewed it slowly. After waiting for the chicken breast to go down, Su Shi looked at the tender and crispy braised elbow and showed a satisfied smile.

He picked up a small piece and put it in his mouth, took a few sips, and finally sighed with satisfaction, then picked up the wine glass and drank a glass beautifully.

Su Shi just put down the wine glass, Chen Xiaolan had already filled it for him, Su Shi smiled and said to her: "You haven't eaten dinner yet, you're welcome, the chef's cooking skills are good." ”

Chen Xiaolan hummed softly, picked up chopsticks, and picked a small piece of duck meat.

"All business is running normally now?"

After a few shrimps, two pieces of meat and a chicken thigh, Su Shicai wiped his hands, picked up the wine glass, and asked casually.

Chen Xiaolan put down his chopsticks and looked at Su Shi hesitantly: "Childe, did I do something wrong?" ”

Su Shi was slightly stunned, then came to his senses and said with a smile: "It was a question sentence just now, not a rhetorical question, so I need you to give me an answer." ”

Chen Xiaolan was relieved at this time, but he still thought about it carefully, and finally nodded affirmatively.

"What about the partnership with the Maison?"

"The first-class families in the capital have cooperative relations with us, but because of our limited resources, we are unable to cooperate with other families for the time being. But ......"

"But what?"

"Except for the capital, we don't have much profit from the business in other state capitals, but the family earns most of the profits."

Su Shi sighed: "These families are all people who don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles, if the benefits they get can't make them excited, how can they cooperate with us." ”

Chen Xiaolan still couldn't understand, she looked at Su Shi with wide eyes: "Even if you don't cooperate with them, I believe that it will only take three years, and Qianqiu Business will definitely become the largest business in Dahan." ”

"That's not how accounts are calculated." Su Shi smiled and said to Chen Xiaolan, "If you let others have nothing to eat, you won't even have anything to eat in the end." ”

However, Su Shi was obviously not in the mood to explain to her at this time, and after drinking all the wine in the cup, he suddenly said to Chen Xiaolan with a serious face: "Recently, if you find that there is an unexpected situation in our business, you must notify me immediately." ”

"Unexpected?" Chen Xiaolan thought for a while and looked at Su Shi suspiciously, "I don't know what is an unexpected situation in the eyes of Gongzi?" ”

"If the Maison has a treasury of silver, if they would rather give a penalty than take the silver, or the Maison will suddenly terminate its cooperation with us, or suddenly someone will buy a large amount of grain, and so on."

Although Chen Xiaolan didn't know why Gongzi told him like this, he still nodded and said, "I know." ”

Su Shi just picked up the chopsticks and was about to clip them to the duck's head, when he heard Chen Xiaolan say again: "I saw Her Royal Highness the princess today." ”

Su Shi looked up at Chen Xiaolan, only to see that she looked hesitant, as if she had something in her heart, and she didn't know whether to say it or not.

"What did you talk about?"

"Her Royal Highness the princess only casually asked about the current situation of the business, and did not say anything else."

Su Shi picked up the duck's head and looked at it, and then put it down again, because there was really no meat on it.

"Why all of a sudden?"

Chen Xiaolan poured him full of wine and said softly: "I found that Her Royal Highness the princess was very unhappy today, but since Her Royal Highness didn't say it, I didn't want to ask." ”

Only then did Su Shi think that the Hu people's mission had been in Beijing for two days, and they should have met His Majesty, and the two sides should have talked about the matter of making peace.

Has things changed?

As soon as this thought came together, Su Shi immediately shook his head, because the matter of harmony is so important, it is impossible to have a result so quickly.

And if things really changed, Zhou Jin would have come to him to discuss countermeasures, since His Royal Highness didn't look for him, it means that even if things change, they are under her control.

So Su Shi didn't seem too worried, and put a piece of crispy duck meat in his mouth.

After chewing a few times, Su Shi wiped the oil on the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Her Royal Highness the princess is mostly upset about other things, I will relieve her after I see her, you don't have to worry." ”

"Yes."

Su Shi looked at her and couldn't help but say, "You eat more, you seem to be thinner now than when I first met you, and it's not okay to drink white porridge every day." Then he said softly, "I know you have a lot of things to worry about, do it slowly, don't rush." ”

Then Su Shi naturally sandwiched a few shrimp in her bowl, and said with a smile: "Sea shrimp is the most nutritious for nothing, now you will eat some." ”

Chen Xiaolan saw Su Shi serving vegetables for her, her face turned red again, and her head was so low that she almost put it in the bowl, but she felt extremely sweet in her heart.

Lin Mo's eyes widened, but he didn't seem to be able to see it.

After Su Shi finished serving Chen Xiaolan, he picked up his wine glass, as if he was in deep thought again.

At this time, the three of them looked different, but they did not speak, and the room suddenly fell silent.

A knock on the door broke the silence in the house, Lin Mo immediately looked at Gongzi, Su Shi nodded, and then he got up and came to the door and slowly opened the door.

Outside the door stood a young man about twenty years old, half a head taller than Lin Mo, dressed in brocade clothes, with a hint of light in his eyes.

The young man held the wine jug in one hand and the wine glass in the other, his eyes crossed Lin Mo and looked at Su Shi.

However, when he saw that Su Shi was so young, his eyes became extremely surprised.

Lin Mo immediately looked at him vigilantly: "Did Childe go to the wrong room?" ”

The young man still looked at Su Shi and said with a smile: "In Xia Weichang, I heard that Su Gongzi is here, so I came to take the liberty of disturbing him, and I also asked Su Gongzi not to be surprised." ”

Lin Mo had never heard of this name, and he didn't know what to do for a while, so he looked back at Gongzi.

When Wei Chang reported his home, Su Shi looked at Chen Xiaolan, who shook his head slightly, indicating that she had not seen this person and did not know what his intentions were.

Although none of them knew this Wei Gongzi, when Lin Mo looked at Su, Su Shi still nodded, and then stood up.

Seeing Gongzi standing up, Lin Mo immediately flashed to the side, but he still looked at Wei Chang with a vigilant expression.

"It turned out to be Mr. Wei, please come in."

Wei Chang walked towards Su Shi and arched his hand: "Thank you Master Su." Childe has a large number of people, and there is no blame for being reckless. ”

Su Shi replied: "Wei Gongzi is serious. ”

At this time, Wei Chang stopped, looked at Su Shi intently, and suddenly said: "Originally, we would only meet tomorrow, but just now I heard in the next room that Su Gongzi was also here, and I just felt that it was too coincidental, so I couldn't help but come to disturb Gongzi." ”
