Xiao Jingtang rarely looks at Du Wenrou's face seriously. She has seen it occasionally before, but she also thinks that she looks fierce and her eyebrows are full of resentment, which is not pleasing.

However, when he looked at it, he suddenly felt that his memory was deviated. This woman was not very beautiful, but she was still... obscene. Her eyes were so watery that she brought her whole face to life, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

Gentle saw enough of the bottle in his hand, carefully put it back into the butler's arms, and looked up and was about to speak when he met Xiao Jingtang's eyes full of confusion.

To be honest, Wenrou is a face control, and the bottom line of a good person is likely to become lower when he sees a good person. For example, if the person in front of him is not so good-looking, even if he is not wrong with Du Wenrou, she will never give him any good face.

However, it was really unfair to Tian Tian. He gave this man a wealthy family and a good face like this. Wen Kezhan fanned as a handsome young man, and Wu Ke was a passionate man with a sword on his horse, and it was not inconsistent wherever he placed it.

"What are you looking at?" asked Gentle.

After coming back to his senses, Xiao Jingtang frowned and turned his face: "I asked if you have finished reading it."

"I've finished reading it, I'll give you the bottle." Gentle shrugged indifferently: "You sent a carriage to pick me up that day. What kind of etiquette should you do, and you can also let me know in advance."

The person who was still covering his heart and looking in pain now promised him to go to Xitang. Xiao Jingtang stared at her for a long time and nodded and said, "Tomorrow I will have someone come here to teach you etiquette. If you have a distinguished guest, no one will be fine if you make a mistake."

"I understand." After yawning, he glanced at the sky outside gently: "Second Young Master, I should go and rest."

Xiao Jingtang was also planning to leave. When he heard this, he felt uncomfortable. He squinted her eyes and asked unhappily: "What have you done during the day? Are you so tired?"

Do you care about me? Wenrou really wanted to take it back, but she still held it back and whispered: "Can't you go out shopping?"

"Shopping?" Xiao Jingtang didn't believe it, but there was nothing he could do if he didn't believe it. He never cared about this person, so he didn't have anyone to stare at her movements, so he had no way to retort now.

"Forget it." He closed his eyes, raised his foot and went out: "You should do it yourself."

It was like she did something bad! She curled her lips gently. Although she did do something that was not conducive to the Xiao family, she was unkind and unrighteous. It was all for the sake of making a living, so everyone should understand each other.

There was no sound in the yard, and gentle paused, turned to Shufang and said, "Go and close the door."

Shufang nodded and stepped out obediently. However, when the door was closed, she couldn't help but look at her.

This master doesn't seem to like being with her.

Wenrou had already jumped to the desk, grinding the ink for a while, breaking a brush and starting to draw pictures.

Pei Fangwu's Eight Immortals can't win Xiao Jingtang's lottery last year, so the dishes of the Hundred Flowers Picture this year are probably even more fun. After all, she is a business partner now. If she can, she can help.

"Second Young Master."

As soon as he got off the carriage, the doorman happily greeted him and whispered: "The young master of the Pei family is waiting for you in the flower hall."

Pei Fangwu? He pursed his lips slightly, Xiao Jingtang nodded and followed him to take a look.

"The glass beads you want." Pei Fangwu looked bad, but he looked like a businessman. He smiled and asked someone to hold the box up. The lid was opened, and there was only one inside.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Pei." After looking at the bead, Xiao Jingtang smiled: "This thing is hard to find. I have asked many places, but I have never learned where the young master came from."

"If you know, where is Pei's business?" Pei Fangwu smiled and bowed, "I can only find eight of these beads. I heard that the second young master was interested, so I came to deliver the goods in person. I dare to ask the second young master, and I asked all the remaining beads?"

Xiao Jingtang nodded: "You add this one in your hand, there are six in total, but nine thousand taels?"

"It's clear and real, and the old man is not deceived." Pei Fangwu smiled: "But because he is destined to be with the Xiao family, he can count two hundred taels less."

"Oh?" Xiao Jingtang raised his eyes: "What other fate do you have in addition to the problematic ceramics last time?"

Pei Fangwu was neither humble nor arrogant, and smiled and said, "I want to thank the second young master of the Xiao family. If it weren't for Mrs. Zun, I wouldn't know when the dirty water on my lower body would be cleared. The prison of our county magistrate is solid, so it is so imprisoned that people can't move. I haven't had the chance to explain to the second young master that the batch of problematic ceramics were checked down. Someone in the middle interfered, and the second young master has never inspected the goods and accepted them all."

What this means is that even if he has the responsibility, Xiao Jingtang still has the problem of lax inspection.

With a chuckle, Xiao Jingtang didn't care about ceramics anymore. He raised his eyes and asked, "Young Master is very familiar with the inner person?"

"Acquaintance is a coincidence, and a close friend is a close friend." Pei Fangwu smiled and said, "I can't blame the second young master for doing such a big business, and having a virtuous support is also a great thing."

A good wife? Xiao Jingtang couldn't help but sneer: "Young Master is really over-reward."

If Du Wenrou can be considered a virtuous supporter, then virtuous supporter is not a compliment.

Pei Fangwu looked at him with complicated eyes, with a slight dissatisfaction and a little glad. How could he say this look? It was like laughing at him for being fortunate that this glass bead was so valuable before, and then he picked up a big business.

Xiao Jingtang felt a little uncomfortable and looked sank and didn't say anything. Pei Fangwu turned around and asked someone to take out the remaining glass bead boxes, then gave the bill to the housekeeper beside him, and bowed and said, "Go farewell to me."

With a "hmm", Xiao Jingtang sat on the chair, watched him go out, and then lowered his eyes to meditate.

"Pei Ji has been in a strong momentum recently." The housekeeper whispered: "The Second Young Master is really worth paying attention."

"People have the relevant news about Pei Ji to show me." Xiao Jingtang said.

The butler bowed and stepped back, and after a while, he brought in a booklet and handed it to him respectfully.

As a businessman, you will definitely know the details of your peers. The Xiao family even recorded all vendors of all sizes near Xingcheng, including their store logos and family backgrounds. You can find them after careful inspection.

The Pei family's logo is a copper coin that looks like a concentric knot. Because more than one store or one business, this logo will be engraved on the Pei family's territory or things.

After looking carefully for a while, Xiao Jingtang's expression suddenly froze.

He is a person with a good memory. If he remembers correctly, he went to the villa a few days ago and met Du Wenrou and said he had ordered food. The maid from Zhenxiuzhai and the carriage took her back.

The curtain hanging on the carriage seemed to be embroidered with this pattern, including the accessories on the maid's waist, which were also copper coins like concentric knots and carved in fragrant wood.

Zhenxiuzhai, what a Zhenxiuzhai. This woman clearly had a private meeting with Pei Fangwu, and she said she was going out to order food?!

The anger that was played with rushed to the brain, Xiao Jingtang stood up "instantly" and wanted to rush to the other courtyard to confront Du Wenrou.

However, if you catch the thief and the stolen goods, you have to be in bed. Even if he goes there now, Du Wenrou will never admit it and will continue to stay in the Xiao family with a stern face.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Jingtang rubbed his forehead and gritted his teeth and ordered: "Let Mrs. Xu go to the villa overnight. If there is any trouble, send someone back to tell me immediately."

"Yes." Shocked by his appearance, the butler quickly found someone to give instructions.

But halfway through the way, Butler Xiao paused and suddenly felt something was wrong.

My young master was really angry by the second young master? Even if the second young master did too much before, my young master was angry, but he had never really gotten angry. Today, looking at it... it was a bit different.

Could it be that the second young lady has really gone out of the wall?

"Ah sneezing!"

I didn't sleep well all night, but woke up the next morning, sneezing gently.

"Is the master sick?" Shu Fang frowned slightly: "Are you going out today?"

"If you have something urgent, you have to go out." Sniff, gently wrapped your clothes, and asked her to help her comb her hair: "The person sent by Xiao Jingtang is still in the wing room on the east side. You drag her first, and you say I'm resting when I'm sick, and what are the rules to study before going tonight."

"Yes." Shufang responded, tied her hair bun and inserted two silver hairpins.

The excess jewelry was exchanged for silver as capital, and there was no good jewelry left. Shu Fang felt something was wrong, so her master had already gotten up and ran to the back door.

"How did she learn?"

Xiao’s house was in the big house, and Xiao Jingtang asked while having breakfast.

The butler whispered, "I heard that I am sick and haven't gotten up yet."

He got sick as soon as he learned the rules. He curled his lips unhappily, but he still used up his breakfast gracefully, and then took the glass beads to meet the third young master.

"The weather today is particularly good." Xuanyuan Jing was in a good mood. When he saw Xiao Jingtang, he became even happier: "Go and have a walk on the street."

"Okay." Xiao Jingtang responded, casually placed the box on the table next to him, and then accompanied him out.

...

"If you want to talk about prosperity, Xingcheng is no worse than Beijing." Walking on the street, Pei Fangwu whispered gently to the side: "But why are you doing here? There are no shops, they are all killing chickens and selling vegetables, and their skirts are dirty carefully."

Gentleman wore a white gauze hat and said indifferently: "It is the place where you want experts. Please help me see where there are pigs slaughtering?"

He looked up and looked into the distance, and Pei Fangwu closed the fan: "Over there."

The vegetable market in Xingcheng is very lively. In order to prove the freshness of the meat seller, there is a pig slaughtering farm in the dead end of the street. After killing it, it will be sold. The business is very good.
