Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 649 Visiting the Prime Minister’s Mansion

It wasn't until noon that Cao Bailu appeared in front of people again.

Zhao Kang only glanced at it and turned away, because Cao Bailu had changed his clothes and had obviously just taken a shower.

Seeing Zhao Kang, Cao Bailu also blushed, but thinking of what Zhou Ming said, she came to sit across from him.

Zhao Kang coughed dryly and said, "Morning."

Cao Bailu immediately glared at him, and then said: "Zhou Ming said that his mother invited you to be a guest at the Prime Minister's Mansion."

When talking about business, Zhao Kang felt much less embarrassed and asked doubtfully: "Going to the Prime Minister's Mansion as a guest?"

"Yes, from what Zhou Ming said, it seems that he told his family about our cooperation with him."

Cao Bailu said: "His mother is worried about him, so she wants to see you as a partner."

"That's it."

Zhao Kang thought for a while and said: "I guess the main reason is that yesterday Zhou Ming's guards reported that we beat Zhou Ming. Zhou Ming must be a little worried."

"Then what are you going to do?"

Zhao Kang smiled and said, "Of course I have to go there. Shopkeeper Ma picked out ten pieces of fragrant skin jade and a bottle of perfume, and packed them in a gift box."

"Alright boss."

Cao Bailu nodded: "Since the other party is Zhou Ming, I must have known a lot of ladies from the imperial capital. Compared to Zhou Ming, she has a wider network of contacts."

"That's right, then I'll leave first."

Cao Bailu: "Don't you want me to go?"

"You'd better find out more about the situation in Shengjing City. I'm enough there."

While they were talking, shopkeeper Ma had already packed and prepared the things Zhao Kang wanted. Carrying the gift box, Zhao Kang hurried out the door, as if avoiding Cao Bailu.

I sent Zhou Ming to the Prime Minister's Mansion yesterday, and he is already familiar with it now.

It happened that one of the guards guarding the door today was the person who followed Zhou Ming to the shop yesterday.

Seeing Zhao Kang coming, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Boss Ba, you are finally here."

Zhao Kang was surprised: "What's wrong?"

"My young master has asked you six or seven times if you are here. He wants to go to the shop to find you again." The guard said respectfully.

"That's it, please lead the way." Zhao Kang said with a smile.

The guard led the way, walking in the corridor and looking at the rockery pavilions around him. Zhao Kang couldn't help but think of the woman last night, so don't bump into her.

Upon arriving at Zhou Ming's courtyard, Zhao Kang heard Zhou Ming's impatient voice before he walked in.

"Oh mother, how many times have I told you that Ba Ba is a good guy! Can a bad guy give me 1000 taels of silver as soon as we meet him?"

"If he beat me, it was because I wanted to take over his shop first!"

"Okay, okay, I'm too lazy to tell you. You'll know when you meet Ba Ba. It's so easy for a kid to make up his mind to do something. What are you nagging about all day long?"

Zhao Kang smiled heartily, this boy is quite rebellious.

He walked into the courtyard, and the guard said at this time: "Master, the boss is here."

Zhou Ming in front turned around in surprise: "Ba Ba, you're here!"

Zhao Kang said hello with a smile and turned his gaze, but the smile on his face suddenly froze.

...She is still wearing the dark red satin brocade dress. The woman is very beautiful, with a pair of willow-leaf eyebrows and fox eyes, and a beauty mark on the lower corner of her cheeks and lips, which adds a lot of charm to her.

At this moment, he was looking Zhao Kang up and down, a strange look flashed in his eyes, he was such a handsome man.

I originally thought he was some kind of rampant gangster, but he turned out to be quite outstanding.

As for Zhao Kang, he no longer knew what to say. This Zhou Ming's mother was clearly the woman he had secretly seen last night, rewarding him late at night.

Just looking at his appearance, he should be in his early thirties, and he looks very good.

Zhou Ming is sixteen or seventeen years old, which means that this woman was only fifteen or sixteen years old when she married Zhou Yue.

It's really nothing unusual in this day and age.

The last time I saw Zhou Yue, he was no longer young. He was probably almost sixty now.

It’s probably useless!
Thinking about this, Zhao Kang understood that the old gun was no longer loaded, but women were at their most powerful age.

No wonder the voice was so resentful last night.

"Ba Ba, what's wrong with you?"

Zhou Ming called out, pulling Zhao Kang back from his thoughts, and he hurriedly said: "It's nothing."

Stepping forward quickly, Zhao Kang saluted the woman: "I've met Madam."

"Are you Ba Ba?" Song Qingyan said softly, with a bit of arrogance in her tone.

Zhao Kang wiped the tip of his nose to hide his smile: "I'm just a humble servant. It would be disrespectful to give a small gift. I hope Madam will accept it."

"Ba Ba, come on, what gifts are you bringing? Don't you think of me as a brother?"

Zhou Ming interrupted at this time, and after letting the guards go down, he pulled Zhao Kang to sit down, pointed at Zhao Kang excitedly and said: "Mom, he is Ba Ba, a businessman from Jingguo."

Song Qingyan hummed after hearing this, and then said to Zhou Ming: "Tomorrow, go and see how the kitchen is preparing. Since guests are here, the meals will naturally be richer, and we must entertain the distinguished guests well. You stare at point."

Zhou Ming didn't think much, said hello, and said to Zhao Kang: "Ba Ba, please sit down first. Let's have a drink later."

"Okay." Zhao Kang nodded.

As soon as Zhou Ming left, the atmosphere in the courtyard became uncomfortable.

Song Qingyan's eyes were a bit contemptuous: "Are you from Jingguo?"

"To tell you my wife, I am from Jingguo."

Song Qingyan snorted: "Why did the people from Jingguo come to our Qiguo to do business and win over my son? You are so brave!"

Zhao Kang chuckled lightly when he heard this, and said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Madam, I am just a businessman. As long as it is profitable and profitable, I am willing to try it no matter where or who I am."

Dai Mei frowned, and Song Qingyan scolded: "Hmph, do you know what it is to beat the prime minister's son! My son is young, and he was fooled by you with just a few words, and he will not be held accountable, but I am not easy to fool. ! Don’t even think about making profits from my son!”

Zhao Kang laughed dumbly and looked at Song Qingyan: "Madam, what you said is serious. Master Zhou Ming and I have never known each other before, and now our hostility has turned into friendship. To put it bluntly, it may not be easy for Madam to hold me accountable. Since I’m from Jingguo, have you heard that martial arts is a common practice in Jingguo, and even a seven-year-old child can do some tricks?”

Seeing Zhao Kang poke a hole in the stone table with two fingers, Song Qingyan suddenly turned pale: "You are threatening me!"

"It's just stating the facts."

Zhao Kang smiled: "Madam, don't be surprised. This is the gift I prepared for my lady. This is Qianguo Fragrant Skin Jade."

Zhao Kang said as he opened the first gift box and took out ten beautifully packaged soaps.

Hearing the words Xiang Skin Jade, the displeasure on Song Qingyan's face softened.
