Jie a husband is too arrogant

Chapter 96
When she woke up the next day, Su Jiu naturally had a splitting headache, half-closed her eyes, thinking she was in a restaurant, and said, "Huan'er, pour me a glass of water!"

Ji Yuxian poured water for her, but those people who were jealous of her had nothing to do.

He knew in his heart that those people grew up with her, lived and died together, and had a position that no one else could replace.

He only thought that one day he could integrate into her life and be cherished as much!
Su Jiu drank the water, her mind became clearer, she looked at Ji Yuxian in astonishment, then at the bed behind her, and asked, "When did I come back?"

She remembered that she had been drinking with Cannon and the others.

"Of course I brought Madam back for my husband, I forgot to go home after drinking, Madam really doesn't have the sense of being a woman at all!" Ji Yuxian cast a glance at her.

Su Jiu chuckled, rubbed her head, and said in a muffled voice, "When Da Pao is back, I'll drink too much when I'm happy!"

Ji Yuxian put down the porcelain cup, sat behind her, rubbed her head gently, and said in a gentle voice, "Wait up and wash your face with cold water, and the pain will be gone after drinking the hangover soup!"

Su Jiu nodded, then suddenly turned her head and said excitedly, "Da Pao has been named a rank-[-] general!"

"Ok, I know!"

The strength of Ji Yuxian's hand was neither light nor heavy, Su Jiu's pain was half gone from rubbing, and she felt drowsy when she was comfortable.

"Da Pao is today, thanks to your guidance. I will be the host for these two days, and let Hu Da Pao thank you in person!" Su Jiu smiled, her smile was clear, and even her eyes were full of happiness.

"No need, Ma'am is grateful for your husband, you can save me a lot of worry, and I will be content with my husband!" Ji Yuxian laughed teasingly.

Su Jiu raised her eyebrows, turned her head and said, "If I don't come back from now on, I'll just sleep in a business store or a restaurant. You don't have to worry, and you don't have to look for it, I can come back by myself!"

Ji Yuxian frowned, "Why, do you want to stay out all night?"

After finishing speaking, he held her shoulders and moved behind her, and said threateningly, "If you dare not come back, you will be punished severely!"

Su Jiu laughed confidently, "How does Master Ji plan to punish you severely?"

Ji Yuxian thought for a while, and suddenly a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he lowered his head to kiss her lips, "I don't know, if it's heavy, I can't bear it, if it's light, I can't bear it either!"

Su Jiu tilted her head slightly and kissed his thin lips, "Master Ji is soft and not hard, so Mr. Ji should think carefully."

Ji Yuxian kissed her unhurriedly, with a flirty and ambiguous tone, "Actually, the hard ones are more delicious!"

Su Jiu rolled her eyes and immediately understood the meaning of the man's words. She frowned and looked at him with disgust, "Have you eaten?"

Ji Yuxian's face turned blue, and he bit her hard on the lips, "I'll let you eat tonight!"

Su Nine
Turned over and came out of his arms, stretched out his arms, put on the outer shirt, casually pushed back his hair, and was about to go out.

Ji Yuxian hurriedly grabbed her waist, "It's fine if you don't dress up normally, and you don't even comb your hair. Madam forgot that she is a woman?"

After finishing speaking, he pressed Su Jiu on the round wooden stool carved with huanghuali peony in front of the dressing table, and with a flick of his hand, the purple brocade ribbon fell to the ground, and the ink hair scattered like a waterfall.

Ji Yuxian took the comb and gently combed her hair.

Su Jiu looked at the serious and focused man in the bronze mirror, and asked with a smile, "Ji Yuxian, have you combed other people's hair?"

Ji Yuxian shook his head, "When I was a child, I often watched my mother comb her hair. Madam is the first one to do it for others, isn't it very touching?"

Su Jiu smiled and nodded, "Moved!"

"Then let's make a promise!" The man seduced.

Su Jiu glanced at the bronze mirror, "Ji Yuxian, can you think of something else?"

After tying the girl's smooth long hair with a purple ribbon, the man leaned over and hugged Su Jiu, resting his chin on the top of her hair, looking at the bronze mirror, and sighing, "What should I do? Still madam!"

Looking at each other in the bronze mirror, Su Jiu's eyebrows were picturesque, her long eyelashes drooped suddenly, and she smiled slowly with her curved lips.

With a touch of shyness and emotion of a girl, it seems to be choking, ignorant and awakened, the most exciting.

Ji Yuxian's eyes darkened, and he pinched the girl's chin and kissed her deeply.

Three days later, Hu Dapao left Beijing to go to the camp outside the city, and he could return to Beijing once every half month.

Everyone was reluctant to part with them, but luckily they were not far away, and they could see each other twice a month.

In the blink of an eye, it was mid-June. The ship sent by Su Jiu and Ji Yuxian returned to Shengjing. The two went to the pier to greet them in person. They saw the ship docked and the deck was on the pier from a distance. Cao Datou was the first to leave. down.

I haven't seen him for two months. Cao Datou is full of energy, more calm and sophisticated, with more knowledge, he naturally becomes different.

Chen Feng and other stewards came down to greet Su Jiu and Ji Yuxian one by one.

"Big boss, live up to expectations!" Cao Datou's dark face was full of excitement, as if he wanted to say too much to Su Jiu.

Chen Feng respectfully said, "Young Master, this subordinate will send you back safely!"

"Yeah!" Ji Yuxian nodded and looked at Su Jiu, "Madam, let's go to the boat too!"

"Okay!" Su Jiuzheng had this intention.

Several people returned to the ship and entered the cabin, only to see that the stacked goods were all goods brought back from other countries.

"Every time we dock, the goods are all sold out, especially the silk, which is very popular!" said the steward, opening a box, and a tangy fragrance came over, "Please look, sir, this is our The spices bought from the island country called Miluo are rare and precious in our Daliang, but they are everywhere there!"

"There are still these pearls!" The steward opened another box, and suddenly the light bloomed, dazzling, and the plump and round pearls in it were high-grade at a glance. It's cheap, we can exchange three bolts of satin for a box of pearls!"

Su Jiu was astonished when she heard this. She picked up a pearl, which was shiny and flawless. If it was made into earrings, a pair would cost ten taels of silver, and three bolts of satin would be exchanged for a box. It was a huge profit.

What Ji Yuxian said before is indeed correct.

"There are also these handicrafts made of colored glaze!" The stewards briefly talked about the goods brought back from the cabin.

Su Jiu seemed to see the glittering gold and silver in the cabin, she really got rich!

Ji Yuxian couldn't help chuckling when he saw the girl's eyes glowing, and turned to the supervisors, "It's hard work, you guys, go ashore and rest, we can discuss other matters later!"

"Yes!" Several stewards responded respectfully.

Ji Yuxian and Su Jiu also went out, and the sea breeze came over the surface, carrying a faint fishy smell and moisture, but it made people's blood boil.

The sailors of the crew stopped what they were doing when they saw Su Jiu, and shouted in unison, "Master Jiu!"

Su Jiu nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, welcome home!"

Everyone laughed and went to work.

Standing on the bow of the boat, looking at the endless sea, Su Jiu felt relaxed and happy. She turned her head to look at Cao Datou and Chen Feng, and asked, "The journey was smooth, did you encounter any pirates?"

Cao Datou said, "Yes, pirates, and local snakes in some countries, we have all met, but we all beat the shit out of them!"

He said, glanced at Chen Feng, and the two smiled tacitly.

They lived together day and night for three months, during which they fought side by side, lived and died together, and Cao Datou and Chen Feng also formed a deep brotherhood.

"Those pirates have been robbing ships at sea all year round. They are insidious and cunning, digging the bottom of the ship, colliding with the ship, and attacking with fire. Fortunately, Brother Chenfeng can see through their tricks every time and take precautions in advance. No loss!" Cao Datou said with a naive laugh.

Chen Feng smiled humbly, "Brother Cao is also very powerful, if there is no Brother Cao, none of the subordinates can handle it!"

"Brother Chenfeng is good at martial arts and brains. Last time the pirates in the delta sneaked onto our ship and attacked us. If you didn't find out and saved my life in time, maybe I would have died there!"

"Brother Cao, you are welcome, you also saved me, don't worry about that incident!"

The two flattered each other, and if you said something to me, it seemed that they were about to kneel down and worship their brothers.

Su Jiu chuckled, and exchanged a look with Ji Yuxian, completely relieved.

Cao Datou and Chen Feng didn't know each other before, and suddenly they put them together to sail on the sea. Su Jiu was worried that there would be some discord or conflict between them.

Sailing a ship on the sea is no better than staying at home. If there is any quarrel between the two and someone takes advantage of the gap, it will be fatal to everyone!

Fortunately, both of them are martial arts practitioners. They are free and easy, loyal, and informal. Su Jiu was really surprised and happy to be able to hit it off like this.

It was getting late, Ji Yuxian ordered Chen Feng to unload the ship tomorrow, and take a good rest today.

After disembarking from the boat, Su Jiu and Su Jiu discussed for a long time about how to deal with the returned goods, and they already had a preliminary plan.

Now that the profit is considerable and they have the experience of the first time, the two plan to go on the second voyage two months later.

After all, the sailors need to rest for a period of time, and they also need to purchase the second batch of goods based on the sales information of the goods fed back by several stewards who went to sea.

These all take time!
The first time has been successful, and brought back such a large profit and wealth, the second time will be more sure.

I also brought back some local products from other countries when I went to sea, and sold them in commercial shops. They were very popular, and they were quickly sold out, and the supply exceeded demand.

Su Jiu picked up the best pearls to make a set of jewelry, and made spices into refreshing incense, and gave them to Nangong Bi and Nangong Shu respectively.

Nangong Bi was naturally very happy. Nangong Shu never accepted gifts. This time, because it was given by Su Jiu, she accepted it without any excuses.

……

On this day, the firm had just opened, and the servants came to report that shopkeeper Zhao, who was in the porcelain business in Shengjing City, came.

Chang Huan usually lives on the top floor of the commercial building, a bedroom connected to a study room, and outside is the flower hall, which is usually used for meeting guests.

In addition, there are two young servants who take care of Chang Huan's daily life.

Chang Huan had just returned from looking around downstairs, when he heard the sound, he rolled his eyes and went to the flower hall.

Sitting in the flower hall was a thin, white-faced middle-aged man in a blue brocade suit. When he saw Chang Huan, he put down his tea cup and got up, "This must be Mr. Huan!"

Chang Huan smiled faintly, "Don't dare to be, please sit down, Manager Zhao!"

"Yes, yes!" Shopkeeper Zhao smiled narrowly and sat down.

"Business manager Zhao came over early in the morning for something?" Chang Huan asked softly, leaning on the wooden chair.

"Don't go to the Three Treasures Palace if you have nothing to do. I came to the firm today and I really have something to ask Huan Ye!" Shopkeeper Zhao said in a polite tone.

Chang Huan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Take care of each other when doing business, and eat together. It's hard to ask for it. If you have something to do, shopkeeper Zhao just say it!"

"Yes, Mr. Huan is a straightforward person, so the old man said it straight!" Shopkeeper Zhao laughed and continued, "I heard that the porcelain in your firm sells very well. I don't know where to buy it. The porcelain from our Yueya Porcelain Store It is absolutely exquisite, with a variety of styles, and the price is the lowest for your firm, I wonder if Master Huan is interested?"

Chang Huan said with a smile, "As long as the item is good, if it has a novel style, we are naturally willing to sell it in a business store!"

"Of course, of course!" Shopkeeper Zhao smiled, "Then I'll go back and prepare. I'll send you a few samples and a price list as soon as this afternoon!"

"Yes!" Chang Huan's handsome face was gentle.

Shopkeeper Zhao got up and put a banknote on the wooden table next to Chang Huan, "It's a small thing, it's not a respect, drink tea for Master Huan!"

Chang Huan glanced at the bank note, with a slight smile on his face, "Does Shopkeeper Zhao have no confidence in his own porcelain? Do you still need to rely on this to bribe me?"

Shopkeeper Zhao's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly said, "No, absolutely not! I'm just grateful to Lord Huan for giving us a chance to cooperate!"

"Since it's not, take it back. The quality of the goods is more important than anything else. If the goods are not good, even if you give me 1 taels of silver, you won't be able to enter Qingyu Commercial Bank!"

Seeing Chang Huan's resolute tone, shopkeeper Zhao smiled coyly, and had no choice but to put the banknotes away again. This time, his eyes were more respectful.

"Shopkeeper Zhao has won the prize!" Chang Huan smiled faintly.

"That old man won't bother Mr. Huan anymore, he will take his leave first, and come see Mr. Huan when he is ready!"

"Shopkeeper Zhao, go slowly!"

"No delivery!"

Chang Huan got up and sent shopkeeper Zhao to the door, turned around and came back, with a smile on his lips, a pair of Danfeng eyes twinkled.

He and Su Jiu have been to this Yueya Porcelain Shop together. The shop is very large. I heard that they have their own firing workshop, and all the masters in the porcelain field are invited. Today, the shopkeeper Zhao can come here, which shows their business. , indeed already has a great reputation in Shengjing!

Just as Chang Huan was about to go back to his study, his servants came to report again, and Li the shopkeeper of the Guiyuanzhai pastry shop in the city visited.

Chang Huan was startled, and asked someone to come in.

Guiyuanzhai is a well-known time-honored brand in Shengjing, which has been handed down for three generations. There are three branches in Shengjing, and each store is booming.

As soon as Shopkeeper Li came in, he first laughed loudly, "Master Huan!"

The intimacy is as if the two are old friends who have known each other for ten years.

Chang Huan managed a restaurant and was in charge of a commercial firm. He has seen a lot, and he is no longer the immature boy he used to be. Hearing this, he greeted him with a generous smile, "Shopkeeper Li, come and shine!"

"Master Huan, you're welcome!" Shopkeeper Li was smiling all over his face, probably because he had eaten too much dim sum, his body was slightly fat, his face was round, his eyes were wide and his nose was wide, and his eyes were shining.

"Shopkeeper Li is on the cheap, what's the matter?" Chang Huan asked his servants to serve tea and greeted Shopkeeper Li to take a seat.

"It's true that I have something to ask for joy!" Shopkeeper Li sat on the mahogany carved wooden chair with his stomach upright, and laughed.

"Doing business, win-win and making money, shopkeeper Li just say so!"

"That's right. I heard from Shopkeeper Su of the tea shop that he rented a container in your firm, and the business is very good. You see, our Guiyuanzhai's dim sum is also very famous in Shengjing. Could it be in our firm? Rent a counter here." Shopkeeper Li said politely.

When Chang Huan heard this, he immediately understood.

Guiyuanzhai has a branch next to Su Yuejiu's uncle Su Cheng's tea shop.Su Cheng's container business in the commercial firm is not bad. Although there is only one shelf, it sells more tea than their shop on Xieyang Street.

Su Cheng was so happy that he couldn't help but feel complacent. He often went to the dim sum shop next door to show off with shopkeeper Li.

After coming and going, shopkeeper Li became distracted, he also saw the booming business of the firm, so he came to Changhuan today, and wanted to rent a container to sell their Guiyuanzhai dim sum.

It is estimated that renting a container will not cost much money, and it is still less than the cost of a shop. If the dim sum sold can be worth a shop, this business is really worthwhile.

"Master Huan, if you have anything to say, just say it, we can discuss the amount of rent!" Seeing Chang Huan's hesitant expression, shopkeeper Li hurriedly said.

Chang Huan pursed his lips and smiled, "To tell the truth, shopkeeper Li, there is a reason why the Su family tea shop buys tea in our firm, and the other containers have never been rented out. The owner of our firm is Su Jiuye, let me and Jiuye Call Shopkeeper Li after discussing!"

"Yes, yes, it should be!" Shopkeeper Li got up, "Then I'll go back and wait! After the matter is done, there must be a big thank you!"

"Shopkeeper Li is polite, go slowly!"

"Master Huan stay behind!"

It was almost noon after seeing off shopkeeper Li, Chang Huan had lunch and waited for Su Jiu to come over.

Usually Su Jiu is in Ji Mansion in the morning, and will come to the firm in the afternoon.

Sure enough, just after noon, Su Jiu entered the firm.

The poetry meeting on the second floor has already disbanded, but the tables and chairs in the middle have not been removed. Occasionally, a few literati sit there to discuss poetry and painting, or write a poem when they are very excited about poetry.

The framed booth is still there, and it contains excellent poems, calligraphy and paintings, which attracts several people to watch and appreciate them every day.

Su Jiu went up to the second floor. It was just after noon, and there were not many people in the building. There were two men who looked like scholars discussing a pair of poems at the desk.

Su Jiu took a closer look and saw that what they were talking about was a heptadic poem by Qiao An.

One of the sentences is "The ancient moon is shining brightly in Qingzhou today"

It is a poem praising today's prosperity!
A scholar said, "The wording is not good, it should be changed to Fuqing Prefecture."

"No! It would be better to switch to Luoqing Prefecture!"

"The word Fu is better, showing the lightness of the moonlight."

"Won't falling characters be more ethereal!"

"Good brush word!"

"Good writing!"

The two of them refused to accept the other, and their faces were red when they were arguing.

Su Jiu sat behind the two of them, resting her chin in one hand, and suddenly said, "How about changing it to the word sleep!"

Gu Yue sleeps in Qingzhou today.

How wonderful, the moon at night sleeps on this peaceful land, it is very appropriate.

Her voice was crisp and clear, and she stopped the two arguing people at once.

He turned around and asked, "What did you just say?"

"I said it would be better to change it to the word sleep?"

"Cut, it's insulting to the gentleman!" The two scholars looked at Su Jiu with contempt, and stopped arguing, and turned to look at other things.

Su Jiu chuckled, her eyes full of sly mischief.

Suddenly a waiter saw Su Jiu, hurried over and said, "Master Jiu, Master Huan has been waiting for you for a long time, let the little one see you and invite you up immediately!"

"What's the matter?" Su Jiu got up and asked.

"It seems that there is something wrong, you will find out when you go and have a look!" said the young man.

Su Jiu nodded and strode upstairs to the attic.

The two scholars behind her didn't go far, and they were stunned for a moment when they heard the man's words. One of them mumbled, "That man was Su Jiuye just now? He's so young!"

The other person also showed surprise in his eyes, and suddenly said, "I found out, the word sleep is indeed better!"

"Yes, yes! Master Jiu is so talented!"

"It's simply a blockbuster and shocking talent!"

Su Jiu walked away and didn't hear the mutterings of the two people behind her, otherwise she would have been leaning forward and back together happily.

When they went up to the attic, Chang Huan was waiting on the stairs. When he saw Su Jiu, his calm and steady face suddenly smiled silly, and became Su Jiu's little follower again, "Boss!"

"Yeah!" Su Jiu responded and walked into the study, "What do you want me to do?"

"Yes, let's talk in the study!"

Chang Huan asked people to prepare snacks and seasonal fruits, took an apple, peeled it and handed it to Su Jiu, and then explained the intentions of shopkeeper Zhao from the porcelain shop and shopkeeper Li from Guiyuanzhai.

Now Chang Huan can't be by Su Jiu's side all the time, when he is free, he peels the melon seeds and puts them in a sealed porcelain jar, and gives them to her when Su Jiu comes.

Su Jiu ate melon seeds and apples at the same time, eating them with great enjoyment.

When it was almost time to eat, he pushed the porcelain pot and said, "You can decide for yourself after you have seen their products and prices about the porcelain shop. Let's think about the matter of renting containers for Guiyuanzhai." !"

"Yes, I'm afraid that if you rent the container to Guiyuanzhai, other people will come to ask for it, and we won't be able to refuse then!" Chang Huan thought.

Su Jiu nodded, "Now that you are taking care of the firm, you are more familiar with the situation in the firm, what can you do?"

Sitting on the low couch, Chang Huan picked a grape and threw it into his mouth. He rolled his eyes and said suddenly, "Boss, do you think this will work? We have a big space on the first floor, so we can create another space. Set up a few containers to distribute goods to these time-honored and well-known shops, so that we can earn a share of interest from them, and secondly, we can use their reputation to expand the reputation of our firm!"

Su Jiu's eyes lit up, she raised her hand and patted Chang Huan's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Okay, you boy, you don't want to be the shopkeeper for nothing!"

Chang Huan smiled shyly, "After following the boss for so long, even a fool has become smart!"

Su Jiu nodded, "Just do as you said, first make room for the first floor, and then send out a post to recruit these time-honored goods into the firm. By the way, we are not only recruiting these famous shops in Shengjing, but also You can bring in some special goods that are well-known in other states and counties!"

"Yes, yes!" Chang Huan agreed, "That's exactly what I want!"

"Okay, you can figure it out!"

The two agreed that Su Jiu would stay in the firm until almost dark before returning to Ji's mansion.

It was getting late, and the sunset glow covered half of the sky, shining among the heavy buildings and pavilions of the Ji Mansion, the glaze was overflowing with color.

Su Jiu walked through the garden between the front yard and the back yard. As soon as the evening breeze passed, a gust of fragrance wafted in. It wasn't the fragrance of flowers, but the fragrance of the girl's powder, but it was very fresh and not overpowering.

Turning around the flower tree, I saw two women parked on the path in front of me. A girl dressed as a maid was standing on the bluestone road, holding a white-haired and red-eyed cat in her arms, looking at the flowers and smiling, "Miss, be careful!" , don’t get pricked by the flower thorns!”

In the flowers, a girl wearing a light green blouse sprinkled with flowers is fluttering the butterflies on the peony flowers with a handkerchief. Her body is slender and nimble, and there is a clear and clear laughter from her mouth. She leaps up and down, her dress flutters, full of vigor , reflecting the fading sunset, it contrasts a different kind of greenness and innocence, like cardamom in March, which suddenly makes people's eyes come alive.

Su Jiu's eyes were a little hazy, as if she had never passed such an age, so she stopped there for a while and stared blankly.

After a long while, the little maid found Su Jiu first, turned her head to look her up and down, and asked curiously, "Who are you?"

The cat in her arms raised its head, its ears pricked up, and looked at Su Jiu vigilantly, "Aim!"

After Chang Huan was no longer by Su Jiu's side, there was no one around her except Er Mao who was her coachman.

Ji Yuxian said several times to let Mo Yu accompany her to serve her, but she was used to walking alone, and it would be cumbersome to have someone by her side, so she never listened to him.

Today Su Jiu came back from the outside, wearing only a palace satin plain snow silk skirt, this palace satin is expensive, but because of its simple style, most people don't see how luxurious it is, they just think it is ordinary.She didn't pull her hair up either, she just tied her long hair high on top of her hair with a purple ribbon, and she didn't apply any makeup. At first glance, no one would believe that she was the young lady of the Ji Mansion.

Su Jiu smiled, "Who are you?"

The little maid frowned suddenly, and a look of displeasure flashed between her brows, as if she blamed Su Jiu for being rude.

"Taozi, what's the matter?" The woman in green hopped out of the garden when she heard the voice, holding up her dress, and said with a playful smile.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw Su Jiu, tilting his head and looking at her curiously.

Su Jiu also looked at her, at the age of fourteen or fifteen, with beautiful eyebrows and cherry lips, oval face, pretty appearance, especially a pair of ignorant and innocent watery eyes, which made people like it very much.

"Who are you?" The girl said with a charming voice, blinked her eyes, tilted her head and smiled.

As soon as she came over, the cat that was in the maid's arms immediately jumped onto her shoulders, and its white hair suddenly rose, protecting its master!
Su Jiu bent her lips, "It doesn't matter who it is, just keep playing!"

After finishing speaking, Su Jiu walked past the two of them and strode away.

The girl behind her turned to look at Su Jiu's back, bit her lip, took a breath suddenly, and asked in a low voice, "Couldn't this be the Young Madam of the Ji Mansion?"

The maid named Taozi shrugged, "It doesn't look like this dress, it's not as rich and noble as the maid in Ji's mansion, but she looks really good-looking!"

The girl immediately raised her chin, snorted, and said angrily, "Is Miss Ben good-looking?"

Tao Zi hurriedly laughed and said, "Of course not, no one is as good-looking as my young lady!"

"According to Miss Ben, the woman just now must be the young wife of the Ji family, but I don't know what the son of the Ji family, what does this lady's brother-in-law look like? Is it as handsome as outsiders say?" The girl rolled her eyes and wondered.

"The rumors are mostly unbelievable, besides, what the eldest son looks like has nothing to do with us!" Tao Zi said.

The girl chuckled, looked at the sunset, and said, "That's right, you'll know what it looks like when you see it! Sister, it's time to drink the medicine, let's go back!"

After finishing speaking, he reached out and took the white cat on his shoulder into his arms, and walked happily into the yard.

When Su Jiu returned to the Izumo Pavilion, the nanny handed over a bowl of porridge with rock sugar, lotus seeds and mung beans, and said with a smile, "Master, I told you, Miss must be thirsty when she comes back from outside, let us prepare soup to relieve the heat, and let Miss come back Drink a bowl first!"

Su Jiu took the bowl and took two sips, her mouth full of sweetness, and asked, "Where's Ji Yuxian?"

"Master just came back, so he should be in the study!" The nanny paused and joked, "Young master will ask Miss first when she comes back, and the first thing Miss will say when she comes back is also to ask Young master first, the two of you have a tacit understanding!"

Su Jiu choked on the soup, wanted to say something, but choked it back.

The nanny was busy rubbing her back, "Drink slowly!"

Su Jiushun took a breath, and suddenly remembered the girl she saw in the garden, and asked, "When I came back today, I saw a beautiful girl in the mansion. Is it from the mansion? I haven't seen it before."

beautiful girl?

The nanny thought for a while, and suddenly realized, "Look at me, I forgot about my business as soon as the young lady came back. The third young lady has been ill, and there are long nightmares at night. She misses her family, so the Ren family sent the third young lady to the I came to the mansion to accompany the Third Young Madam. This afternoon, the people in the Third Young Madam’s courtyard came to report to Miss. After Miss went out, they went to report to Second Madam. I will report back to you when you come back."

Su Jiu nodded, it turned out to be the young lady of the Ren family, Ren Zhier's younger sister!

Thinking about it carefully, she does look somewhat similar to Ren Zhi'er, but her personality is quite different.

Su Jiu stopped thinking about it, drank the porridge, and went to the study to find Ji Yuxian for dinner.

The next day, after Su Jiu went out at noon, Ji Yuxian took a nap for a while, and when it was nearly Shen Shi, he took Jin Feng out.

As soon as I left the mansion, I saw a woman wearing peach pink and butterfly gauze embroidery sitting next to my carriage, sitting with her knees hugged in the shade of a tree, the sun shining through the branches and leaves of the crabapple tree and casting mottled light and shadows. The golden jade butterfly hairpin flashes with colorful light.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the girl turned her head, looked up at Ji Yuxian with a pretty face, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, her expression seemed to be in a daze.

Jin Feng asked, "Miss waiting here for something?"

The girl stood up awkwardly, and said happily, "This carriage belongs to you? I finally waited for you!"

As soon as she stood up, Ji Yuxian and Jin Feng noticed that she was holding a snow-white cat in her arms.

Jin Feng asked softly, "Is the girl waiting for us?"

"Yes!" The girl squinted her eyes and smiled, pointing at the carriage next to her, and said crisply, "My Xueqiu's hairball rolled into your carriage, and I've been waiting here for an hour!"

Jin Feng was stunned, seeing the girl dressed like a lady from a wealthy family, waiting here for an hour in the hot weather for a fur ball!
"Big brother! Could you please drive the carriage away and let me take out the fur ball?" The girl's eyes were bright and innocent, and her face was full of innocence.

Ji Yuxian nodded lightly, "Jin Feng, get the carriage out of the way!"

"Yes!" Jin Feng got into the carriage and drove the carriage over. There was indeed a pink and purple ball of woolen thread under the carriage, the size of a palm, very cute.

The girl jumped over with both feet, picked up the fur ball, pouted and blew the dust on it, and teased the cat in her arms, "Well, I found it, don't lose your temper now! "

Looking at the serious appearance of the girl and the cat, Jin Feng couldn't help laughing.

The girl stood up, her eyes were clear, she smiled and said, "Thank you two big brothers!"

Ji Yuxian pursed her bewitching thin lips, turned around and got on the carriage.

Watching the carriage leave, the girl wrapped her fingers around her black hair hanging down her temples, rolled her eyes, took a long breath suddenly, covered her mouth with her hand, and said to the cat in her arms, "Would he be Eldest son, is this lady's brother-in-law?"

"Aim!" Bai Mao called out holding the fur ball.

The girl puffed her cheeks, turned her eyes and smiled, and walked into the mansion in three steps.

In Zuihuan Pavilion, two brothers Su Cheng and Su Xing walked upstairs with a delicate girl in their arms. The corners of his mouth were pulled down to the bottom of his ears, and he said in a long voice, "Yo, the two masters Su haven't come for a while, it's because of the fragrant wind that brought the two elder masters here!"

Both Su Cheng and Su Xing were wearing brocade and satin gowns that are popular nowadays, with gold-inlaid jade belts around their waists, sachets, jade pendants, etc. hanging from their waists, with golden crowns on their heads and hair tied together. The appearance is very different, and you can tell that you have made a fortune recently!

Su Cheng casually took out a silver ingot and threw it to the old bustard, and said with a smile, "Good wine and good food are served, my master wants to drink with Chunxiang today!"

The old bustard took the money with both hands, and smiled brightly, "Please sit in the elegant room, the food and drink will be here soon! Chunxiang, take care of Master Su!"

The woman in Su Cheng's arms smiled charmingly, "Yes!"

The two brothers were walking upstairs, facing Zhu Hecheng and two people in charge who looked like they were in charge, and greeted each other, "Two shopkeepers Su!"

Even though Su Cheng and Su Xing are a little richer now, they still can't compare with Zhu's family. Seeing Zhu Hecheng, they quickly stood up straight, corrected their expressions, and said respectfully, "I've seen Master Zhu!"

Zhu Hecheng smiled gently, "I'm lucky enough to meet two shopkeepers Su today, why don't we have a drink together?"

The two brothers of the Su family used to be considered nothing in front of Zhu Hecheng, and they didn't even look at them when they met. The sudden invitation today made the two brothers of the Su family flattered, and hurriedly said, "It's better to be respectful than to obey, thank you Master Zhu Please!"

Zhu Hecheng smiled faintly, and led the two of them to his private room.

Some wealthy merchants in the city have their own separate elegant rooms in Zuihuan Pavilion, which are used for entertainment or business talks.

The elegant rooms in Zhuhe City are naturally more luxurious, with Persian velvet carpets on the floor, golden nanmu furniture, official kiln porcelain tea bowls, everything is exquisite and exquisite.

The two brothers of the Su family watched in amazement, and couldn't help being a little more cautious in their words and deeds.

Everyone was seated, Xiao Er brought the dishes, and the best daughter red, the wine was full of aroma, and people were drunk before drinking it!

"It's rare to meet you today, I would like to offer a cup to the two storekeepers Su!" Zhu Hecheng raised the wine cup politely.

The brothers of the Su family hurriedly served their cups, "Master Zhu is very polite, thanks to the banquet, my two brothers should respect Master Zhu first!"

"Drink together! Drink together!" Zhu Hecheng took a sip of the wine, and the stewards who accompanied him also took the wine cups and drank together.

Putting down the wine cup, Zhu Hecheng said with a friendly smile, "One of the two storekeepers of the Su family makes tea, the other makes silk, both of which are big businesses, and they are also well-known in Shengjing City, so we will have more contacts in the future!"

The brothers of the Zhu family were dizzy from being praised, and the smile on their faces was even more humble, "Master Zhu is too proud, compared to you, we are nothing worth mentioning!"

"Hey! That's not the way you said it! I have always admired the two shopkeepers, but I didn't have the fate to make friends. It is God's will that we met today, and we will be friends in the future!"

"Master Zhu is too polite. What you said is exactly what we want to say. Come on, let's toast Master Zhu again. Please take care of us in the future!"

"Take care of each other!"

Several people drank a few more cups, the Su family brothers gradually became drunk, and began to speak incoherently. They called Zhu Hecheng brothers and sisters, and they were very affectionate, as if they had known each other for decades.

After half a round of drinking, Zhu Hecheng poured wine for the two of them himself, and said with a smile, "The two of you have been blushing recently, you must have made a fortune, why don't you tell Brother Wei to hear it, and let Brother Wei open his eyes!"

Su Cheng grinned, "It's all because of the honor of the Ji Mansion!"

"Oh? How do you say that?" Zhu Hecheng asked with a smile.

"There is a new Qingyu firm opened in Shengjing City, Master Zhu must know about it! It belongs to Ji's mansion. The niece of our Su family is the young lady of Ji's mansion. The Ji family naturally took care of it and gave us two containers in the firm. Goods, now that money is pouring in like water, it doesn’t matter if our own store can’t open!” Su Cheng said it all with a show off.

Zhu Hecheng nodded secretly, the person behind this firm is indeed Ji Yuxian.

The smile on his face deepened, and he continued to pour wine for the two brothers of the Su family, "It turns out that there is such a good thing, the two shopkeepers are really lucky!"

The two brothers giggled, their faces full of complacency.

Zhu Hecheng and the two stewards next to him looked at each other, their eyes were full of cunning and calculating.
