Chapter 74: Businessman
"Gentle girl. ”
Just as he was about to scold, Steward Xiao's voice sounded outside, he was gentle, swallowed dangerously, opened the door and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
"The second young master ordered, go out of the house tomorrow to the banquet, and you will accompany you. Steward Xiao smiled: "This is a newly made clothes, you can wear it tomorrow." ”
Brand new fabric, but unfortunately it is still the style of clothes worn by the next person. Gently looked at it, took it with a smile, and responded: "Okay." ”
The housekeeper left with confidence, closed the door gently, turned around and gestured to the air with a middle finger: "Silly fork, you have to bring me for entertainment, and the old lady is not to accompany the wine." ”
looked at her with strange eyes, and said to Shufang: "Master, you used to always pester the second young master and ask him to take you out to the banquet together, but the second young master always didn't bring it." ”
Now it's good, I've become a maid, but I can go out with it.
"What's the good ...... going out" Before he finished speaking, Wen Rou remembered that Xiao Jingtang did not recognize Du Wenrou's status as the main mother, and Du Wenrou naturally wanted to attend the party with him as the main room. But now the situation is different, she went out to find humiliation.
Fortunately, Du Wenrou has no control now, otherwise this heart will have to die of entanglement at this time.
sighed, gently threw his clothes aside, and then lay down on the bed, and said, "No matter how much, Shufang, you can go and rest, Ming'er will talk about it." ”
"Yes. Shu Fang bowed, gently tucked the quilt for her, and then got up to leave.
Xiao's house in the night was silent, and the lights in Xiao Jingtang's house were also extinguished, but some people who were not afraid of death secretly opened the door and wanted to sneak in.
"Who is it?" Xiao Jingtang reacted very quickly, and a dagger was placed across the neck of the person who came.
Qiao Yan's face turned white with fright, and he hurriedly said, "It's a slave!"
With a slight frown, Xiao Jingtang withdrew his hand, looked at her through the moonlight and said, "What's wrong?"
"Slave maid...... I can't sleep, so I want to come and sleep with the young master. ”
"I have something to do tomorrow. Xiao Jingtang said: "You go back to your room and stay." ”
"......" Qiaoyan didn't move, bit his lip and hesitated for a while before saying, "Does the master dislike slaves and maids?"
Without saying a word, Xiao Jingtang lay back on the bed and slept next to the bed.
After a few steps, he said skillfully: "The slave maid thought that the master would get bored with the slave maid a day, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly." The Du family is more beautiful and moving than the slave maid, but it can ...... Can the master forget the companionship of the slave and maid for so many years?"
"What do you want?" Xiao Jingtang finally spoke, with full impatience: "If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly." ”
was taken aback by this sharp tone, and Qiao Yan's tears fell to the ground: "You...... Never before had a slave been so vicious to a slave. ”
"You didn't have so many harmful thoughts before. The man on the bed said coldly: "Avoiding you is my kindness, not my ruthlessness, can you understand this?"
The body stiffened slightly, and Qiao Yan slowly shook his head: "I don't understand." ”
"Don't embarrass Du anymore, she doesn't get in your way. Xiao Jingtang looked at the person beside the bed with half-open eyes, and said, "If you can restore the previous indisputability and harmlessness, I will continue to trust you as before and keep you by my side." ”
"But you have to continue to be obsessed, and don't forget how you were chosen by your mother to bring you to my room, it was not an accident. ”
His face turned pale, and he glanced at the person on the bed in disbelief.
What happened at the beginning...... How could the second young master know?!
The room quieted down, and Xiao Jingtang fell asleep as if he had finished speaking, and never opened his mouth again. Qiao Yan slowly moved out of the room, and sat on the ground outside, not coming back to his senses for a long time.
In fact, the person chosen by Mrs. Xiao at the beginning was not her, it was Cui Hai who lived in the same room with her, but on the day she was sent to sleep with the second young master, she gave Cui Hai some medicine and temporarily replaced her. Originally, it was a drug, but the amount may be too large, Cuihai was seriously ill, and he woke up stupid, no different from a five-year-old child.
So no one knew what she did, and she stayed in the courtyard of the second young master smoothly.
However, Xiao Jingtang actually said that, proving that he knew it from the beginning.
How could it be? How could it be? If he really knew, how could he still be with her for so long?
The more he thought about it, the more ugly his face became, and he stumbled back to the house, and Qiaoyan immediately woke up the sleeping maid in his room, and whispered, "Help me go out to do something." ”
Early the next morning, gently yawning to change Xiao Jingtang's clothes, Second Young Master Xiao looked her up and down a few times, nodded and said, "It's just right for you to be like this today." ”
The straps of this dress almost strangled her to death! There were more than a dozen straps in the dress, and they were so strong that they couldn't be torn off when they were kept.
Although she also complained that the clothes here were loose, and the woman would be embarrassed if she went out with a little accident, but it wouldn't be like tying zongzi, right?
"Follow me for a while, and you can smile when people ask you something, and you don't have to answer. After getting into the carriage, Xiao Jingtang was still instructing: "No matter what you hear, you don't need to speak, and you don't have to take what I say to heart." ”
Why did you look like you were going to some kind of terrible flickering conference? Wen Wen frowned and asked him, "It's a complicated banquet?"
"No, it's simple. Xiao Jingtang said: "There are often such banquets. It's the first time you're going, so I don't want to embarrass you, that's why I'm saying so much. ”
She snorted coldly and muttered softly: "I have attended a lot of high-end banquets, and I have never embarrassed my boss!"
"Who is the boss?" the second young master next to him, who had excellent ear power, narrowed his eyes.
Gentleness: "......"
There is no explanation for this, so I can only break it up: "Before I met you, I liked someone very much, and I often took me to banquets." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Jingtang nodded lightly, with no expression on his face.
Gentle is a little surprised, but she was also his woman, huh, she was so uncurious about her woman's past?
But this person is probably not too curious about anything other than business. Thinking of this, Gentle didn't speak again. The carriage traveled all the way, and when it arrived at the place, Xiao Jingtang got out of the car, and suddenly turned around and asked her, "What kind of identity did you attend the banquet before?"
After thinking about his professional outfit, he laughed softly: "It's almost the same as now, just pretend to be a maid." ”
I told a lie, and sure enough, I had to use a hundred lies to make it round. Xiao Jingtang, who was in front of him, looked at her for a while and said, "The person who can make your eldest lady of the Du family pretend to be a maid to accompany the attendees must be very powerful." ”
"Hah...... Ha ha. He laughed a few times, stopped being gentle, bowed his head and got out of the car, and followed him into the Ten Mile Restaurant.
It's a big wine shop, and there are already a lot of people in it. Xiao Jingtang was surrounded by people as soon as he entered, and several middle-aged people said with a smile: "I haven't seen the second young master for a long time, the noble man has been back to Beijing for several days, and I don't see you have time to come out and get together with us, but you have to forget our difficult brothers?"
Glancing at them, Xiao shook his head: "I haven't forgotten." ”
"Haha, I didn't forget to come in and drink, come, I'll wait for you alone. ”
Seeing that they were all Xiao Jingtang's people who should call his uncle, such a large group of young people went in, how strange the scene looked. Gentle hurriedly followed up with her skirt.
There were tables on all sides of the room in the bright hall, and the person sitting on the main seat was dressed in green brocade, and when he saw someone coming in, he smiled: "The surprise hall came on time, not early, not late." ”
With a slight bow, Xiao Jingtang arched his hand towards the man and said, "Seventh brother, it's been a long time." ”
The person known as the seventh brother is Jiang Lianbo, and his favorite thing to do is to buy and sell houses and pavilions, which is a real estate dealer in modern times, but there is no such saying in ancient times, just because he has a rich family background and relationships all over the place, so everyone respectfully calls him Seventh Brother.
Jiang Lianbo doesn't have a good impression of these businessmen, but he still likes Xiao Jingtang quite a lot, the young junior, he doesn't have any tricks on his lips, but he is very down-to-earth, so when he came to Xingcheng before, he gave him precious ice silkworm silk.
His eyes fell on Xiao Jingtang's clothes, Jiang Lianbo's heart moved, and he got up with a smile and patted him on the shoulder: "You are a good boy, come, sit." ”
He likes this kind of sensible person, and he remembers how many favors he has given him, and will reciprocate. Looking at this clothes, he couldn't help but think of the fact that he almost had a lawsuit in Xingcheng last year and was saved by Xiao Jingtang.
Naturally, the attitude softened.
Everyone exchanged pleasantries, and gentleness stood behind. Xiao Jingtang doesn't talk much in business, but it can be seen that he has a strong sense of existence, even if he doesn't say a word for a long time, the "Seventh Brother" next to him will always turn his head sideways and ask him what he means.
How can anyone talk about business like this? Gentle and can't help but slander, other businessmen are all tongues and lotus flowers upside down black and white, he is good, like a huge sullen clock, the pestle is very silent here.
"I heard that the second young master wants to buy Haoyue Bay under the seventh brother. Someone at the banquet said, "That's a good place, and many of us here want it." ”
Haoyue Bay is on the canal in the north of Xingcheng, the scenery is pleasant, there is a row of shops, doing business with people, often making a lot of money. Therefore, Jiang Lianbo is generally rented out, not sold. But at the invitation of Xiao Jingtang, he still came today.
However, even if he came, he didn't mean to make a move lightly.
"Haoyue Bay is the meat of Seventh Brother's heart, how can I let Seventh Brother cut his love?" Xiao Jingtang drank calmly and said, "I'm just going to rent it." ”
Rent?
As soon as these words came out, the shopkeeper Sun on the opposite side was not happy, Haoyue Bay is currently a rented place for him, if Xiao Jingtang comes to open this mouth, then what should he do in business?
"Second Young Master think twice. The shopkeeper Sun said: "Although the realm is good, the business may not be easy to do, you have so many accessible ways, why bother to grab this bowl of porridge?"
