Chapter 681 Convocation
They didn't even need to knock on the door, and they were invited into the hall by the person guarding the door.

And these people who came one after another were all the owners of large and small shops in Jinling City.

After they came, they started talking about it.

"When Jiulixiang's boss invited you here, did he say what it was for?"

"What else can it be for? It must be because of the recent soaring taxes in Jinling City."

"Jiulixiang's shopkeeper said that their boss has a way to restore our taxes to the original level, do you believe it?"

"Can you come if you don't believe me?"

"Jiulixiang managed to do such a big business in just a few days. You said it was impossible for him without the support of the imperial court, so I am holding out hope, but I don't know what conditions he will have? "

"Have you heard? Today Jiu Lixiang pre-sells grain in the shop three days later, the price is the same as before. Do you think he is crazy?"

"Then they came to us this time, could it be that they have no food and want to transfer food from us? Then I will definitely not agree. If it is at the original price, I will lose money to death."

"..."

Guys, you and I are talking about each other.

Bai Yingying, who was on the second floor, heard the discussion below, and then walked down slowly from the downstairs without making a fuss. Shopkeeper Cui Xuan followed a step behind her, and Qi Fang, Ji Ling, and Cui An followed behind.

The sound of light and steady footsteps immediately attracted everyone's attention. All the people, forgot to discuss for a while, turned their heads and looked in the direction of the sound.

I saw a handsome young man of fourteen or fifteen years old coming down the stairs.

The boy was wearing a moon-white silver silk embroidered gown, a belt half a palm wide around his waist, and a dark red cloak on the outside. He wore a simple bun on the top of his head, and a hosta was inserted into the bun. .

There are some airy bangs on her forehead, her long eyebrows are curved below, and her round eyes are like a bend of autumn water.

The boy's facial features are extremely beautiful, he looks like a delicate girl.

If it weren't for the young man's outstanding temperament, which should not be underestimated, many people would think that one of her girls was pretending.

The middle-aged woman next to the young man was shrewd and capable at first glance, especially the tall men behind her, all dressed in black. Although they were dressed in a low-key manner, the aggressiveness on their faces was obvious at a glance. This man is not easy to mess with.

Bai Yingying walked down the stairs calmly, all eyes were on her face.

After Bai Yingying stepped down the stairs, she stopped not far in front of the stairs, and Cui Xuan took a step forward to introduce to everyone.

"Everyone, this is the owner of our Jiulixiang."

Everyone was shocked. They never expected that the shopkeeper of Jiu Lixiang, who had risen in Jinling City in a short period of time, turned out to be such a young boy.

However, they quickly realized that the boss behind Jiulixiang was probably the boy's father. As the young master, it was reasonable for him to come out to manage things.

Based on this guess, someone asked: "May I ask the young master's family name, who is your father?"

"My surname is Bai." Bai Yingying smiled brightly: "You can call me Mr. Bai."

The big guys immediately searched their minds. In the Southern Chu Kingdom, is there any shopkeeper whose surname is Bai?

However, there are no big merchants surnamed Bai in Southern Chu, but General Bai Zong of Zhen Guo has a surname of Bai.

Bai Yingying glanced at everyone: "Ming people don't talk dark words, I invite all uncles and brothers here today because of the recent soaring taxes in Jinling City."
