Chapter 74 Businessman
"Gentle girl."
Just as he was about to scold, Butler Xiao's voice sounded outside. He paused gently, swallowed his saliva almost, opened the door and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
"The second young master told me to go out to the house to attend the banquet tomorrow, and you will be with me." Butler Xiao smiled and said, "This is a newly made clothes, you will wear them tomorrow."
The brand new fabric is a pity that the servants wear. He looked at it gently, took it with a smile, and replied: "Okay."
The housekeeper left with confidence, closed the door gently, turned around and pointed at the air, and said, "I have to take me with me for socializing. I'm not a drinker."
He looked at her with a strange look, and Shufang said, "Master, you used to pester the Second Young Master and asked him to take you out for the banquet, but the Second Young Master always didn't bring you."
Now it's good. I've become a maid and can go out with me.
"What's the point of going out..." Before she finished speaking, Wenrou remembered that Xiao Jingtang refused to admit Du Wenrou's position as a mistress. Du Wenrou naturally wanted to attend social events with him as her official wife. But now the situation is different. She went out and looked for humiliation.
Fortunately, Du Wenrou has no control now, otherwise her heart would have to be struggling to death.
He sighed, threw his clothes aside, then lay on the bed, and said, "No matter how much you have, Shufang, you can go to rest for a long time, let's talk about it tomorrow."
"Yes." Shufang nodded, gently tucked the quilt for her, and then stood up and left.
The house in Xiao was silent in the night, and the lights in Xiao Jingtang's room were also turned off. However, some people who were not afraid of death actually secretly opened the door and wanted to sneak in.
"Who?" Xiao Jingtang reacted very quickly, and a dagger straddled the person's neck.
Qiaoyan's face turned pale because of fright, and he hurriedly said, "It's a slave!"
With a frown slightly, Xiao Jingtang withdrew his hand and looked at her through the moonlight and said, "What's wrong?"
"I... can't sleep, I want to 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 her lip and hesitated for a while before saying, "Does the master dislike me?"
Without saying a word, Xiao Jingtang lay back on the bed and slept beside the bed.
After following me a few steps, he said cleverly: "I thought that my master would be tired of me in the morning, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly. Du is more beautiful and charming than me, but... can the master forget my servant's company 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."
Shocked by this sharp tone, Qiaoyan's tears fell down: "You... have never been so fierce to me before."
"You didn't have so many harming thoughts before." The man on the bed said coldly: "It is my kindness to avoid you, not my ruthlessness. Can you understand what you say?"
His body was slightly stiff, and Qiaoyan slowly shook his head: "I don't understand."
"Don't make things difficult for Mrs. Du anymore, she doesn't get in the way of you." Xiao Jingtang looked at the person beside the bed with half open eyes and said, "If you can restore your previous incompetence and harmlessness, I will continue to trust you like before and keep you by your side."
"But you have to continue to be obsessed with clever words, don't forget how you were chosen by your mother and sent to my room. That's not an accident."
His face turned pale and he glanced at the person on the bed in disbelief.
How could the Second Young Master know about the original incident?!
The room became quiet, and Xiao Jingtang fell asleep as if he had finished speaking, and never spoke again. He slowly moved out of the room and fell to the ground outside. He had not come to his senses for a long time.
How did she be chosen to be the second young master? In fact, the person chosen by Mrs. Xiao was not her at the beginning, but Cuihai, who lived in the same room as her. However, on the day she was sent to the second young master to sleep, she gave Cuihai some medicine and temporarily replaced her. She used the medicine, but the amount might be too large. Cuihai was seriously ill and became dumbfounded when she woke up. She was no different from a five-year-old child.
So no one knew what she was doing, so she stayed in the second young master's yard smoothly.
However, Xiao Jingtang said that, proving that he was informed from the beginning.
How is that possible? How could it be? If I had known it seriously, how could he be with her for so long?
The more I thought about it, the more ugly my face became. I stumbled back to the house. Qiaoyan immediately woke up the sleeping maid in his room and whispered: "Help me out and do something."
The next morning, Wen Rou yawned to change clothes for Xiao Jingtang. The second young master Xiao looked her up and down a few times, nodding and said, "It's just right for you to do this today."
What's the point? The strap of the clothes almost strangled her to death! The pretty skirt had more than a dozen strangled belts inside, and they were tied firmly, so they couldn't even be pulled off even if they were kept.
Although she also complained that the clothes here were loose and it would be embarrassing if the woman was a little surprised when she was away, it wouldn't be like tied up a rice dumpling, right?
"After following me, you can smile whatever others ask, and you don't need to answer." After getting on the carriage, Xiao Jingtang was still instructing: "No matter what you hear, you don't have to say, and you don't have to take what I say to you."
Why did he look like he was going to attend a great fooling party? He frowned gently and asked him: "A very complicated banquet?"
"No, it's very simple." Xiao Jingtang said: "There are often banquets like this. The first time you went there, I said so much to avoid embarrassing you."
Joke! Will she be embarrassed by such a clever and cute little fairy? She snorted coldly and muttered gently: "I attended many high-end banquets, and I have never embarrassed my boss!"
"Who is the boss?" The second young master next to him narrowed his eyes.
gentle:"……"
There is no explanation at all, I can only make nonsense: "I really like someone I like before I met you, and I often took me to banquets."
When Xiao Jingtang heard this, he nodded lightly, with no expression on his face.
Wenrou was a little surprised. After all, she was his woman before? She was so uncurious about her woman's past?
However, this person is probably not too curious about other things except for business. After understanding this, Wenrou didn't speak anymore. When she arrived at the place, Xiao Jingtang got off the carriage and suddenly turned around and asked her: "What kind of identity did you have when you attended a banquet before?"
Identity? Thinking about his professional outfit, he laughed softly twice: "It's similar to now, just pretend to be a maid."
He told a lie, and it was indeed necessary to use a hundred lies to make it happen. Xiao Jingtang in front of him looked at her for a while and said, "I guess the person who can make your eldest lady pretend to be a maid to accompany you to attend is very powerful."
"Ha...haha." He laughed dryly, Wenrou stopped talking, lowered her head and got out of the car, followed him and stepped into the Shili Restaurant.
There are a large wine shop, and there are already many people in it. Xiao Jingtang was surrounded as soon as he entered. Several middle-aged people smiled and said, "Long time no see the second young master. The noble man has been back to Beijing for several days. I don't see you when you have time to come out to gather with us, but have you forgotten us brothers and brothers?"
Looking at them, Xiao Jingtang nodded: "I have never forgotten."
"Haha, I came in and drank without forgetting. Come on, I'll wait for you alone."
It looked like everyone who should have called Xiao Jingtang uncle. There were so many young people coming in. The scene was so strange. Wenrou quickly followed in with her skirt.
There were tables on all sides of Liangtang's room, and the person sitting in the main seat was covered in green brocade. When he saw someone coming in, he smiled: "The auspicious came on time, not early or late."
Nodded slightly, Xiao Jingtang bowed to the man and said, "Brother Seven, it's been a long time since."
The person who is called Qi Ge is Jiang Lianbo. His favorite thing is to buy and sell houses and pavilions. In modern times, he is a real estate developer. However, there was no such statement in ancient times. It was just because he had a rich family background and had a wide range of relationships, so everyone respectfully called Qi Ge.
Jiang Lianbo has no good feelings for these businessmen, but he still likes Xiao Jingtang very much. Young juniors have no tricks, but they are very down-to-earth in doing things. So when he came to Xingcheng before, he gave him his precious ice silk satin.
With his eyes falling on Xiao Jingtang's clothes, Jiang Lianbo's heart moved, and he smiled and stood up and patted his shoulder: "You are a good boy, come and sit down."
He likes such a sensible person. He remembers how many favors he has given him and will repay him. Looking at the clothes, he couldn't help but remember the fact that he almost sued Xiao Jingtang last year when he came to Xingcheng and almost sued him.
The attitude naturally eased.
Everyone exchanged greetings, and Wenrou stood behind him. Xiao Jingtang didn't speak much in the business world, but it could be seen that he had a strong sense of existence. Even if he didn't say a word for a long time, the "Seventh Brother" next to him would always turn his head and ask what he meant.
Who is talking about business like this? Gentle can't help but complain that other businessmen are all sarcastic and have a lotus turn black and white. He is like a huge bell, sticking here and silent.
"I heard that the second young master wanted to buy Haoyue Bay under Brother Qi's subordinates." Someone said during the meal: "That's a good place. Many people here want it."
Haoyue Bay is located on the canal north of Xingcheng. It has a pleasant scenery. It has a row of shops. It often makes a fortune in business for people who come and go. Therefore, Jiang Lianbo is usually rented for rent and not sold in that area. However, at the invitation of Xiao Jingtang, he still came today.
But even if I come, I don’t want to take action easily.
"Haoyue Bay is the heart of Brother Qi. How can I let Brother Qi give up?" Xiao Jingtang drank calmly and said, "I just plan to rent it."
rent?
As soon as these words came out, the shopkeeper Sun on the opposite side was unhappy. Haoyue Bay is currently the place where he rented it. If Xiao Jingtang came to open this address, how should he do his business?
