"Do business?" Ruan Miaomeng hugged the wine jar and said with a big tongue: "That's not easy, women show up to do business to be looked down upon." ”

"What's wrong with being looked down upon, I'll still make money!" said with a gentle smile: "I've thought about all the advertisements, so I think I'm a woman as a gimmick and hype." If they want to scold me, they can do whatever they want, and I will earn it anyway in the end. ”

"Haha. Although she didn't understand, Ruan Miaomeng felt refreshed, opened her arms and threw herself into her gentle arms, rubbing and said, "I'm a little drunk and want to sleep." When you really want to do business, I'll definitely help. ”

"Good. Gently touching her hair, she got up half drunk and half dizzy, and the two of them stumbled to the bed together, one fell inside the bed, the other fell outside the bed, and honestly closed her eyes.

It's just that Ruan Miaomeng didn't sleep very peacefully, tears flowed down her head, and her gentle dreams were rainy weather.

Everyone has a person who has given sincerity and is difficult to let go.

Xiao Jingtang sat on the second floor of the ceramic shop with a straight face, and Steward Xiao was standing in front of him with a master, who was chattering endlessly.

“...... If the maid herself is willing, then the Pei family wants to redeem it, which is naturally reasonable. It's just that it is redeemed by relatives, and the deed of sale is still valid. And according to the law, the Pei family has the right to modify the deed of sale. ”

In other words, Pei Fangwu can completely keep Du Wenrou in the Pei family for the rest of his life.

With such conditions, Du Wenrou also agreed, because he really likes Pei Fangwu, otherwise, what is the difference between a lifetime in the Xiao family and a lifetime in the Pei family?

His chin was tense, Second Young Master Xiao's eyes were deep, and the atmosphere in the room instantly became solemn.

The master was taken aback, looked at Steward Xiao next to him, and said cautiously: "The small one is talking about things above the law, but with the status of the second young master, there can be an exception to many things, and you also understand that there is no need to say more about the small one." ”

This fortunate city is still dominated by the Xiao family, and the county master is a smart person, and he said in front of the Pei family that he would not help the Xiao family, and the Xiao family said in front of him that he would not help the Pei family. Therefore, even if this girl's case is submitted, it will have to drag on for a long time.

Xiao shook his head, and the irritability between his eyebrows was still the same.

Pei Fangwu has already begun to act, uniting with the Zhou family, and privately having friendships with other small businesses in Xingcheng. Due to the last disaster, Pei Ji's shop closed a lot, but now, with the plaque of the imperial gift, Pei Fangwu opened a glass shop on the most prosperous street in Xingcheng, and there were only a few display cases with glass carvings, and by the way, he sold jewelry.

The plaque written by the emperor himself, fortunately, the rich and noble families in the city spent a lot of money to buy glass for a while, and even the nobles in the capital came from afar to order a glass.

If it was something else that could compete, Xiao Jingtang was confident that he would not lose to him. But this thing is ...... glass. He suspected that Pei Fangwu had a glass mine, otherwise there was no reason to produce so many glass items of different colors one after another, and a random glass hairpin would cost hundreds of taels of silver at every turn, which was simply a huge profit.

"Steward Xiao. After waving off the master, Xiao Jingtang said in a low voice: "Think of a way to ask me about the source of the glass." ”

The housekeeper paused, thought about it, and nodded slightly.

However, the Pei family's secrecy work was too good, and when everyone else was struggling to investigate, Pei Fangwu had already made a lot of money, and with enough funds, he reopened the closed stores and acquired many new stores. Pei Ji's signboard has the blessing of the royal pen, which immediately overshadows the brilliance of the original Xiao Ji, and faintly forms a confrontation with it.

Xiao Jingtang began to get busy, and it was common not to go back to the house for a few days, so Wen Rou followed Ruan Miaomeng honestly, and occasionally when he went back, he went to accompany the bed.

However, I don't know why, Xiao Jingtang never touched her again, and his eyes looked at her indifferently and detached. Rao still gave her good treatment, but Gentle could feel that a wall had been erected between her and Xiao Jingtang, and it was difficult to chisel it again.

smiled gently, and told herself that she didn't have to worry too much, after all, she had to leave sooner or later, and it was normal for people to look down on her, who was not in the Xiao family.

It's just that I'm not in a good mood for some reason.

Fortunately, something happened right away, and she didn't have time to think about it.

Ling Wanmei came back.

On this day, Gentle was going out to pour water with water, and a person fell from the sky, and hugged her shoulder, so scared that she almost splashed a basin of water.

"Don't be afraid. Ling frowned and chuckled: "It's me." ”

Blinking, Gentle was stunned, threw the basin and dragged her aside, glaring, "Why are you back?"

Didn't you go back to Tiger Roaring Heights?

"Something happened on the way. Pursing his lips, Ling frowned and sighed: "Someone stopped me, and now they are still looking for me everywhere, I can't go back, I can only come back and hide temporarily." ”

Raised her eyebrows gently: "Who stopped you in such a big battle?"

Ling was silent.

patted his thigh and reacted gently: "There's no one left, the young master of the Mu family, right? Hasn't he already married someone else and had a falling out with you? What is this now?"

"I don't know, I don't want to go to him anymore anyway. Ling frowned and pursed his lips, turned his head and looked around: "What about Miaomeng?"

"Inside. ”

Without saying a word, Ling Wanmei pulled her and went in to find Ruan Miaomeng, so shocked that Miaomeng almost sprayed her face with a mouthful of tea.

"What did you say?"

"Auntie, I don't deserve it, are you lacking here to be a maid?" Ling asked with a smile.

Ruan Miaomeng rolled her eyes and rolled out: "How many leopard galls have I eaten, and I dare to use the eldest lady of the Ling family as a maid?"

"The situation is urgent, I don't have time to talk to you. Ling frowned and said: "Now that the Xiao family itself is difficult to protect, Second Young Master Xiao will probably not notice me, I am hiding here, and he can't find it, so ......"

"Wait. With a jump in her heart, Wen Rou hurriedly interrupted her, frowned and asked, "What does it mean that the Xiao family is difficult to protect itself?"

"You don't know?" Glancing at Gentle in surprise, Ling frowned and said, "I thought you were in the mansion and knew more things, and I wanted to ask you what was going on." Outside it is said that the Xiao family and the Pei family are fighting fiercely now, grabbing guests, grabbing shops, robbing shopkeepers, Pei's family has that novel glass, which has pressed the second young master's head very much, and many people are waiting to see the second young master's jokes. ”

Ruan Miaomeng frowned: "Our courtyard is quiet, there is no news at all, I don't know that there is such a big commotion outside...... What the hell is the origin of glass?"

"I don't know. Ling Wanmei shook his head: "But if you can't find a solution, it is really possible for the Pei family to replace the Xiao family and become the richest man in Jiangnan." ”

The changes in the shopping mall are also a matter of moments, the Pei family has obtained a lot of money by monopolizing the business, and then used it to compete viciously with the Xiao family, and in the long run, the Xiao family will definitely not be able to bear it first.

Gentleness lowered her eyes.

Ling Wanmei hid in Ruan Miaomeng's courtyard, and in the evening, Xiao Jingtang returned to the house, and gently and unprecedentedly did not wait for Steward Xiao to invite, so he took the initiative to bring tea to him.

Xiao Jingtang frowned, only glanced at her, and continued to stare at the drawings on the shore. Wen Rou leaned over intentionally or unintentionally, and saw that the picture was painted on the streets of Xingcheng, and there were black dots in many places, but there was a red dot on the opposite side of the black dot.

Is it the distribution of Xiao Pei's two shops? Gentle and slightly surprised, it has only been half a month, why does the Pei family have so many more shops? Moreover, each of them is located near the Xiao family's shop, I want to know that the price of the same commodity must be lower than that of the Xiao family, and even lower than the cost, which will give Xiao Jingtang such a headache.

If there was no glass, Xiao Jingtang would not have lost to Pei Fangwu, but now, ......

"You don't have to be too happy. Sensing her gaze, Xiao Jingtang said lightly: "The Pei family's only glass is the imperial tribute, while the Xiao family's silk and porcelain are already imperial tributes." Even if the price of the things he sells is low, it can't kill me. ”

That's right, the foundation of the Xiao family is here, and the signboard has not collapsed, even if the jewelry and ornaments are not as eye-catching as the glass of the Pei family, they will not starve to death for a while.

However, she will lose a lot, maybe more than the money on her deed of sale.

"In the second young master's heart, are slaves and maids really so valuable?" Gentle couldn't help but ask him: "You always say that slaves and maids are your things, but your things have made you lose so much silver, and you don't feel distressed?"

Xiao Jingtang glanced at her hatefully: "You don't talk nonsense." ”

Why does a woman always like to take such a small thing seriously, and she doesn't know how to take it seriously?

Gentle and flattened his mouth and stopped talking, Xiao Jingtang rubbed his forehead angrily, and was about to say something more, when Steward Xiao knocked on the door.

"Second young master, there is a letter. ”

Slightly stunned, Xiao was shocked and quickly asked the housekeeper to come in.

Usually if he has a letter, Steward Xiao will put it directly on the desk, and only one person's letter will be handed over to him personally.

"Shocked, seeing the words is like meeting. Xuanyuan Jing's words are majestic, and the flying dragon walks the phoenix: "There are changes in Beijing, and my brother is suspicious, the Pei family is getting the holy favor, and Mo is competing with him." Cover the girl's ears and let it be okay. If you protect it too tightly, it will be self-defeating. It's really embarrassing, and I wish you the power of the king to get rid of it as soon as possible to prevent future troubles. ”

Gentleness's eyes were almost slanted, and when she understood the letter, she rolled her eyes.

This Xuanyuan Jing really doesn't agree with herself, she has to take her life every time, she dug up his ancestral grave in her last life, didn't she?

Xiao Jingtang closed the letter and glanced at her.

"If you can't keep me, you're going to kill me?" He couldn't see emotion in his eyes, he was a little flustered, and hurriedly said, "Where does this look like a man doing things?"

Lowering his eyes, Xiao Jingtang didn't speak for a long time. Clenched his fists gently and nervously, and was about to move it again to understand it, when he heard him speak again:

"Do you know what my aunts in this yard were sent here for?"
