"Thank you Master, you have changed my life!"
This is Mu Xiang's innermost thoughts. If she hadn't met her master, she wouldn't know what kind of life she would be like now.
"Silly girl."
Jiang Wan rubbed her hair and said, "Looking for a good and auspicious day, we will hold an apprenticeship banquet."
"No need, I am already very happy to be Master's disciple Muxiang!"
This was something Mu Xiang didn't dare to hope for before. Looking at Lu Shui's envious eyes next to her, she knew how lucky she was.
"A must."
Jiang Wan wanted to be more formal. Because of Mu Xiang's status, many people in Kyoto must look down on her.
She held a banquet to introduce Muxiang to everyone in Kyoto.
Jiang Wan was so insistent that Mu Xiang couldn't keep rejecting it. Hearing this, he just told Jiang Wan to keep it simple and not to be extravagant and wasteful.
"Let you and Lv Shui handle it together."
Jiang Wan comforted Lv Shui next to her, "Although Mu Xiang is my disciple, you and Qiuniang are also indispensable to me."
"This slave knows that the master is the best!"
Lu Shui burst into tears and turned into a smile. The masters of other families would not care about a little girl's mood.
The girl, on the other hand, always thinks of all of them.
"Okay, you have a lot of tasks."
Jiang Wan took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone and wrote out a short-term plan. She would stay in Kyoto for some time and take advantage of this opportunity to open a few more shops.
Whether it's Wansige, Yishengtang, or even a barbecue milk tea shop, now that Qiangwei doesn't dare to provoke her, Jiang Wan can let go.
However, Uncle Cheng came to the door impatiently when he learned that Jiang Wan was preparing to open a shop.
"Wanwan, why didn't you tell your second uncle that you wanted to open a shop? My second uncle has many good shops."
Uncle Cheng was not as angry as Jiang Wan expected. Instead, he smiled gently, like an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.
"Thank you for your kindness, second uncle, but the shops in your hands are all prosperous shops. Now the business is in full swing. How can I steal love with a sword?"
Jiang Wan never wanted to monopolize all the business in Kyoto. A gentleman loves money in a right way.
"There are also a few shops that have just been taken over."
Second Uncle Cheng's eyes burned brightly, "Second Uncle, I won't hide it from you, ever since the business of mirrors and ice cubes started.
The elders of the Cheng family all point to me as an "expert" like you for new ideas, but don't worry, I didn't reveal your identity. "
"I believe in my second uncle."
With the dividends delivered on time every quarter, Jiang Wan trusted Uncle Cheng from the bottom of her heart.
She thought carefully and said, "You know, I have opened stores like Wansige Yishengtang in Jiuzhou.
Nowadays, we are also opening branches in Kyoto. I have no intention of cooperating with your Cheng family on these.
But I can consider the others, but I have to think about them carefully. "
"No hurry, no rush."
Second Uncle Cheng took out the property deeds of several shops from his sleeve, "Second Uncle knows you are looking for a shop.
These shops are all pretty good and have been vacant. "
"Second uncle, I can take over the shop, but I'll buy it."
Jiang Wan looked serious and asked Qiu Yan to get the banknotes. The hardest thing in the world to return is a favor.
Jiang Wan didn't want to owe the Cheng family too much.
"You."
Uncle Cheng laughed helplessly, "I originally wanted to sell you a favor, but you're a smart girl, so I'll accept the banknote."
He did not force Jiang Wan, but just warned: "I have been crawling around in Kyoto for so many years. If you have any questions, you can ask me."
"Don't worry, second uncle, I won't be polite."
Jiang Wan didn't have any novel ideas yet, but she kept this in mind.
She sent Uncle Cheng to the door of the house, and before they could say anything, an angry figure rushed over.
"Second Master, is this what you said about doing business?!!"
The woman walked quickly towards Jiang Wan with an angry look on her face. She obviously misunderstood the relationship between Jiang Wan and Second Uncle Cheng.
Jiang Wan frowned, but for Uncle Cheng's sake, she didn't get angry. She just took a few steps back to avoid him.
Sure enough, the woman raised her hand as if to slap Jiang Wan.
"what are you doing?"
Uncle Cheng quickly grasped the woman's wrist with quick eyes and hands, his face full of anger.
It turned out that this woman was the wife of Uncle Cheng. Mrs. Cheng did not know about the cooperation between Jiang Wan and Uncle Cheng, so she glanced at Jiang Wan with disdain.
"What am I going to do? I'm going to beat up this little vixen who seduces your heart!"
She went back to her parents' home for a wedding visit some time ago and didn't even attend the banquet in Kyoto. Naturally, she didn't know Jiang Wan was Song Jiuyuan's fiancée.
"Shut up, you!"
Jiang Wan was a little surprised when the always gentle Uncle Cheng got angry for the first time.
"Look clearly who is talking about this, she is the fiancée of the King of War!"
"What?!"
Mrs. Cheng looked at Jiang Wan blankly. After realizing that she almost made a mistake, she put away the anger on her face.
"I'm sorry, I...I don't know."
"You must have been taken advantage of again, right?"
Uncle Cheng was very angry, "What do you want me to say about you? I told you not to have contact with those thoughtful younger siblings.
It's better for you, playing leaf cards with them every day, and making trouble with me from time to time! "
His wife is either a mean-spirited person, or she is too naive and can easily be taken advantage of by others.
Mrs. Cheng Er's face turned red when Uncle Cheng Er said that, and she just felt ashamed.
"Ms. sir, I...I really don't know. I'm sorry, girl, I didn't mean it..."
"Xiao Jiang, please don't be angry. Your second aunt is a bit stupid, but she is not a bad person."
Uncle Cheng smiled apologetically, which dissipated some of the anger in Jiang Wan's heart. She looked at Mrs. Cheng with a flattering look on her face.
"It doesn't matter. Since it's a misunderstanding, I won't take it to heart."
"Miss Jiang, you are so kind."
Mrs. Cheng Er took Jiang Wan's hand and said, "It's all because of those shallow-mouthed people who talk ill of my husband in front of me all day long.
I must tell my mother-in-law when I get back and ask her to teach them a lesson. I will apologize to you for this. "
Since she had truly repented, Jiang Wan would not hold on to her and would not let her go. She just said:
"Second uncle is gentle and capable. It's normal for others to be jealous of the good relationship you two have. In the future, second aunt can have more trust in second uncle."
"Xiao Jiang is right, every time I go out, you think I am wandering around.
Over the years, do you think I have ever taken a woman into my backyard? Apart from intercourse before marriage, wouldn’t I just marry you after marriage? "
Uncle Cheng was a little angry. He was a role model for men in Kyoto, but his wife didn't trust her.
"Isn't it true that after giving birth to a child, I have lost my luster in old age?"
Mrs. Cheng Er held her face, which had relaxed a lot, and felt very uncomfortable.
Doesn’t that man like beautiful little girls?
It was because of this that she thought too much.
"Second aunt."
Jiang Wan happened to be holding Mrs. Cheng's hand. When she caught a glimpse of her sad expression, she couldn't help but say:
"Why do you worry about this if you are so elegant? It's just..."
She felt Mrs. Cheng's pulse and was a little surprised. It seemed that the couple did have a good relationship.
