Zhao Si was taken aback.

Ordinary people buy shops, and they have to delay it for a few days before giving silver, and even more scoundrels have to drag it out for a year or two. It was the first time he met the buyer who said yes at noon and gave the full amount in the afternoon, so he couldn't help but look at the shopkeeper Xu next to him.

Shopkeeper Xu knew that he was gentle and rich, but it was rare to be so upright, so he smiled and said: "Madame is sincere to buy this shop, and Shopkeeper Zhao should also be sharp and sign it." ”

"Hey. Carefully read both sides of the contract, and then checked the silver ticket, Zhao Si handed over the title deed to the gentle hand, a heart finally fell to the ground, and laughed: "Madame is really a heroine among women! Then I wish Madame a prosperous business." ”

"Hmm. Gently bowed, sent Zhao Si out with Shopkeeper Zhao, and then went to the shop for a turn.

A 100-square-meter shop is considered large in modern times, but it is only medium in this place. Gently looked at the layout and muttered, "Hang a few mirrors on the wall, it will be bigger." ”

Shopkeeper Zhao pointed to the brass mirror shop across the street: "There are ones for sale there, do you want to go and see them?"

"Nope. Gently shook his head: "The mirror I said can't use this, you have to use glass silver." ”

Shopkeeper Zhao was a little confused when he heard this, but the woman next to him had already found a pen and paper, and there were words in her mouth: "The production of mirrors was still the subject of the exam, and the old lady got a full score, and a chemical symbol is not wrong! Silver nitrate, ammonia, sodium hydroxide, and stannous chloride...... Hey, do you know what chlorine is, do you have tin?"

"The various raw materials that Madame wants, the small ones don't understand very well. Shopkeeper Xu shook his head and said: "But there is a family on West Street that specializes in making these strange things and selling them, such as the white flour used for steaming steamed buns, and the ones used to make tofu." The last time you gave the small list, it seems that everything can be bought there. ”

Hey, there are chemicals for sale, and you can figure it out if you raise your eyebrows gently. Edible alkali should be used for steamed steamed bread, and gypsum should be added to tofu, which are all edible chemical agents, and it is not surprising that the ancients had special trades. As for the tin blocks, there should be one if you look carefully, and the chlorine gas is extracted directly from the air.

Chemistry in hand, the world is not worried, there is wood?

Excitedly wrote a list and handed it to the shopkeeper Xu, and gently began to contact the decoration busily, and by the way urged Zhao Si to take care of the relationship between the yamen and the yamen for her.

"Master. Shu Fang helped her in the door with a worried face: "Are you okay?"

"It's fine. He squeezed her with a smile and said softly and happily: "We can start doing a big business!"

Shu Fang couldn't laugh, and glanced back at the table in the room.

Following her gaze, Gentle saw a table full of dishes, mainly meat, and the fragrance was overflowing.

Shu Fang doesn't have much silver, and she won't order so many dishes, so it can only be sent by others.

The mood of excitement disappeared in an instant.

sighed, gently under the table, resting his chin on the back of his hand, and asked in a low voice: "Shufang, don't you think men are particularly boring?"

Shu Fang nodded in agreement: "It's really bad for you, get better...... It also makes people feel that not accepting it is the same as not knowing how to lift. ”

"Do you know why this is happening?" picked up the chopsticks and gently picked up a piece of ribs.

"Why?"

"Because you women all live on men, your clothes are bought by others, and your meals are given by others, if you stubbornly refuse to forgive, people will definitely say that you are ungrateful, ignorant and hypocritical!" shrugged his shoulders gently: "Just like the dogs raised by other people's families, if the dog bites the owner, people will not care whether the owner hits the dog first, but will only say that the dog is a thing that cannot be raised, and persuade the owner to throw it away." ”

Shu Fang was stunned for a moment and glanced at his master.

Although this is true, it is a little uncomfortable to say it.

Gently smiled, didn't say any more, began to sweep the food on the table, ate a round belly, and then sighed contentedly.

"You...... Are you going to forgive the second young master?" looked at the tragic situation on the table, and Shu Fang asked in shock.

"There's nothing wrong with him or me, and there's nothing wrong with forgiveness. He smiled gently: "It's just that he seems to want me to go back to the Xiao family, and I don't want to and have the capital not to go back, so it seems that he is in a passive position." ”

"As for this meal, I thank him, Shu Fang, you will take five taels of silver to the Xiao family later, thank you well, and the extra silver will be regarded as a tip." He got up and stretched, thought about it gently, and said happily: "We are not short of money!"

Shu Fang was stunned, but she was amused by the tone of her last sentence, and suddenly felt that the dark clouds above her head had dispersed, and there was a bright light ahead.

It feels really good not to be short of money, and the waist is straighter. She responded to her master's instructions and immediately went to do it.

Xiao Jingtang was sitting in the study, dinner was not moved on the table, and there was no light in the room.

Steward Xiao looked at him with worried eyes, and he didn't know how to speak. The second young master hasn't said a word since he came back, and he doesn't know what he's thinking when he sits here.

"Steward Xiao. The door opened a crack, and the house slave outside whispered to him.

The housekeeper was stunned, and hurriedly went out lightly: "What's wrong?"

Embarrassed, he handed over five taels of silver, and the house slave scratched his head and said, "There is a maid who sent it, saying that it is the food money and wants to give it to you, and the slave doesn't know what is going on, so I will bring it to you first." ”

Steward Xiao's face turned green, pinching the silver and gritting his teeth and looking at the house slave: "You dare to accept any money?

"It's gone. ”

"......" was a little crying and laughing, Steward Xiao put the silver into his sleeve, and was thinking about how to prevaricate the second young master, but he almost bumped into him with a turn of his back.

Xiao Jingtang stood behind him, without any breath, his eyes staring at him, and there was a dead silence inside.

was so frightened that he almost sat on the ground, and Steward Xiao laughed dryly: "Young master, is he hungry?

didn't speak, Xiao Jingtang pursed his lips and stared at his cuffs for a while, and suddenly sighed, his eyes were full of grievances, as if he was bullied by other children outside, and he didn't know what he had done wrong.

Steward Xiao's heart is so soft, if it weren't for the difference between respect and inferiority, he would have to go directly to touch his head and comfort him.

"Second Young Master. Helping him back to sit down behind the desk, Steward Xiao thought about it for a while, and then said thoughtfully: "When the gentle girl left the Xiao family, she was very embarrassed, and now the words from outside are not very good, she is aggrieved, not that you can coax a table of dishes." ”

Xiao Jingtang looked up at him.

"You look at the old slave like this, and the old slave can't do anything. Steward Xiao shook his head: "The old slave doesn't know what happened between the two of you. ”

"I misunderstood her, thinking that she was bent on helping Pei Fangwu harm me. Pursing his lips, Xiao Jingtang said in a deep voice: "Some of the words that scolded her were too brainy, and they were very difficult to hear, and they also tore up the deed of selling people and drove them out...... Only now do I realize that she may not have a place for me in her heart. ”

Steward Xiao was stunned for a moment, thought about what had happened recently, and said thoughtfully: "If you misunderstand, just apologize seriously." ”

"......" remembered what he had apologized for, and Second Young Master Xiao chose to remain silent.

Steward Xiao didn't pay attention to his expression, so he stood aside and thought: "Women's hearts are very soft, you don't need any skills to apologize, let her feel your sincerity and love, then there is no reason not to be angry, the old slave's inner son is, every time he gets angry, the old slave buys a hairpin and comes back, and coaxes it for a while, it doesn't take long for the anger to disappear. ”

His face was a little more ugly, and Xiao Jingtang frowned: "Is there any other way besides coaxing?"

"Hey, what else should I do?" Steward Xiao smiled: "My daughter's family is just to coax, just coax." The gentle girl is not pretentious, if it is difficult to coax, then it must be that you have done too much, if it is particularly difficult to coax......"

"Is that what I can't do?" Xiao Jingtang scoffed.

"Nope. Steward Xiao shook his head, looked at him seriously and said, "That's the gentle girl, I like you very much." ”

Gentle temperament is very good, and he is also a reasonable person, if he persistently refuses to forgive, then there is only one possibility that he likes it too much and is deeply hurt.

Xiao Jingtang's eyes lit up, like dark clouds in the dark night, and all the stars ran out.

Steward Xiao shook his head: "Are you happy?"

There's no reason to be happy at all, the girl likes you but was wrongfully kicked out of the house, so you want her to like it again...... I'm afraid it's much harder.

Xiao Jingtang didn't expect this at all, he only felt that his mood after being depressed all night instantly improved, and he sat at the table and watched the food, and his appetite was gone. After eating enough, he obediently sat in front of Steward Xiao, waiting for him to continue to say something.

Crying and laughing, Steward Xiao wiped his face: "What else does the second young master command?"

Looking at him suspiciously, Xiao Jingtang asked, "Is there anything else you can tell me?"

“...... Second young master. Steward Xiao smiled bitterly: "Feelings are a matter of two people, and they must be heart-for-heart, and no matter how much reminder there is, they can only add a lace." You can't bring people back yourself, and the old slave won't be able to do anything. ”

The eyes that had just lit up dimmed again, and Steward Xiao couldn't bear to see it: "Why don't you ask the third young master......?"

"No need. As soon as Xiao Shaohan was mentioned, Xiao Jingtang decisively refused: "I'll do it myself." ”

handed it over to Xiao Shaohan, then what he had to think about was not how to bring people back, but how to prevent people from being taken away by him. The faceless and skinless person is really unambiguous in attracting women from good families.

"Ahh

"My lord, it's a little cold?" The county magistrate hurriedly took out his cloak and said with a wrinkled smile: "The weather in Xingcheng has been a little strange recently, you cover a little." ”

"Hmm. Snorting, Xiao Shaohan continued to look at him with a smile: "What I just said, the adult hasn't given this official an answer?"

"This ......" rubbed his hands in embarrassment, and the county master said: "Lord Xiao, this Pei family is not as manipulative as before, and now there is someone above to protect him, and I, a little county official, are really embarrassed." ”

Xiao Shaohan wanted to use the official power to put pressure on the Pei family and let them all resume legitimate price competition, and he also wanted to reduce the pressure on Xiao Jingtang. But it seems that Pei Fangwu's backstage is really hard, he came to the door in person, and the county master didn't let go.

"It is rumored that the third young master and the second young master are at odds with the outside world, and it is also a misunderstanding. The county master changed the conversation with a haha: "You are still worried about the second young master." ”

"Not for her. Xiao Shaohan lowered his eyes and said mockingly: "The official is even more worried that the Pei family will not be able to hold on first. ”

The county master was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he couldn't understand it. Xiao Shaohan got up, wrapped in someone's cloak and didn't plan to return it, so he walked out with a smile. The white fox fur cloak, the county master was not embarrassed to ask for it, and he had to nod and send him out.

After waiting for the people to get into the carriage and walk away, the county master breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and muttered in a low voice: "Why is the young hairy boy so invisible?"

The third young master Xiao has a good-looking face, quite enchanting and demagoguing, and his attitude is not very serious, he is older than him, more serious than him, and the county master has seen a lot, but I don't know why, I am most afraid of dealing with this Xiao Shaohan.

Those eyes seem to see through everything.

Holding his chin and dangling with the shaking of the carriage, Xiao Shaohan didn't plan to go home, and slowly instructed the coachman: "Go to Huaichun Tower." ”

"Yes. ”

The carriage passed by the most prosperous street in Xingcheng, Xiao Shaohan looked out of the window on the left, and could see Pei Ji's glass shop, and when he looked out of the window on the right, it was Xiao Ji's glass pavilion.

As soon as the glass came out, it was directly transmitted to the palace, and the eldest prince was favored by the emperor, and the third prince died down, and there was no news for a long time. It is a good thing that Xiao Ji can have his own glass, but in this way, the Xiao family is afraid that it will become one of the tools of the struggle between the third prince and the eldest prince more directly.

Once you can't get along with the eldest prince in the open, if one day the third prince fails to win the crown prince's position, the Xiao family is afraid that they will also suffer from the disaster of the pond fish.

was secretly helping each other, even if both sides knew in their hearts that in the future, in order to help more and less enemies, the Xiao family would be forgiven. But on the bright side...... If the eldest prince doesn't do anything to the Xiao family, how can he be worthy of the Pei family who helps him work hard?

The glass is crystal clear, expensive and rare, but it has also become something that forced the Xiao family to stand on the cusp. Beautiful, and sure enough, they are all poisonous.

With a chuckle, Xiao Shaohan planned to put down the curtain and go to stay in the Golden Grotto, but he was caught off guard, and the carriage passed by a courtyard, and there was a sudden flash of light inside, which just happened to shine into his eyes.
