"I wonder how the Wu family is doing. Did their affairs go smoothly?" Xia Luotong asked Wu Zechen beside her while walking outside the restaurant. She knew that he was paying attention to the situation of the Wu family, so she asked him That's right.
Sure enough, Wu Zechen was very aware of the affairs of the Yiwu Escort Bureau. After helping Xia Luotong get into the carriage, he said: "It's almost over. Their second escort has exhausted all his energy. This matter should be settled in the next two days." , but there are a lot of people in the Yiwu Escort Bureau, and it will take some time for Wu Yongyuan to settle them all, but they should be able to arrive in Beijing before the end of the year."
Xia Luotong nodded after hearing this, looked at the street scene outside, and asked curiously: "Where are we going?"
"Go to a fur shop under my name. It's relatively quiet there, and there are exclusive private rooms upstairs. Those subordinates who have returned from the check are already waiting there. I also asked people to prepare snacks to avoid you. I'll be hungry later." Wu Zechen explained, handing over a cup of hot tea, "Drink something to warm yourself up."
Xia Luotong thanked him and took it, feeling in his heart that the current prince is really considerate. It is obviously inappropriate to call him "the cold-faced prince". How can he still look cold at all now?
"Speaking of which, the fox fur coat given by the prince is really warm. Wearing it when going out, it is obviously not so cold." Qiu obviously made traveling in the winter much easier.
"Just keep it warm. Don't catch a cold. I also found two cloaks of different colors. I just arrived at the store yesterday. You can try it out in a while." Seeing that Xia Luotong wanted to refuse, Wu Zechen immediately said, "It's made to your size, and I have two of the same."
Seeing that Xia Luotong had just agreed, Wu Zechen smiled helplessly. He didn't expect that he had to give her something under such a guise.
After arriving at the place, Xia Luotong did not expect that it was a well-known time-honored fur shop in the capital. Even this was Wu Zechen's property. He followed Wu Zechen all the way to the third floor and directly entered the largest private room facing the street.
The two new cloaks given by Wu Zechen were already placed in the private room. One was as red as flames, and the other was as black as night. They were both of the highest quality. Xia Luotong knew as soon as he touched them that they were two extremely expensive pieces. It's fur material.
Today, Wu Zechen brought Xia Luotong to the fur shop mainly to let her check the account books, which were previously occupied by Xia Zhihe and have just been recovered, as well as the current operating conditions.
All the personnel sent by Wu Zechen to help take over have been put in place to replace the original people, and all the personnel of Yiying Xia Zhihe were replaced. With his vigorous and resolute acting style, the original people were replaced without a chance to cause trouble. All operations have been smoothly transitioned and normal operations have begun.
After spending a lot of effort, Xia Luotong re-organized the situation of each industry. After listening to the reports of the stewards who came to report back and forth, he made some arrangements and adjustments, and then it came to an end.
When all the stewards left and the private room was quiet again, Wu Zechen, who had been sitting quietly watching her handle things, immediately handed over hot tea and pushed the snacks on the table towards her. He pushed: "Are you tired? But you need to eat something to fill your stomach first?"
"Thank you, it's just a little troublesome, but I'm not too tired." Xia Luotong smiled and took the hot tea and sipped it lightly. He felt that he had regained some energy, and then complained, "Xia Zhihe is indeed a person who relies on his skin to make a living. , so many good businesses have allowed him to operate like this, he deserves to be controlled by Mr. Li."
"but……"
Xia Luotong reached out and patted one of the account books in front of him, and couldn't help but reveal a gloating smile on his face: "I didn't expect that he didn't have time to collect the accounts from a year ago. It seems that the prince took action too quickly. He was caught off guard, so much cash fell directly into my hand, and he was the one to cry now."
These were the property of Xia Luotong's natal family, and now that they were returned to their original owners, Xia Zhihe naturally had no reason to take away the cash.
"Even if you ask him to charge some interest first," Wu Zechen said to her with a chuckle.
"That's right!" Xia Luotong also smiled and was in a very good mood. "Am I getting fat? I became rich overnight?"
Wu Zechen was amused by her. Seeing her happy look, he felt a little better: "Your pocket is fat, but when will you grow some fat on your body?"
"I'm obviously in good shape. You don't have to be fat to be in good shape." Xia Luotong seemed to suddenly understand something and said suddenly, "No wonder you always take me to eat everywhere. I eat the most food in the house. It turns out you You want me to get fat!"
"How could it be? I just hope that your body can recover soon." Naturally, Wu Zechen would not admit it, and immediately denied it and changed the topic, "By the way, Xia Zhihe should be here soon."
When Xia Luotong heard this, he immediately changed his attention. He followed Wu Zechen's eyes curiously and looked out the window. He walked towards the window doubtfully and asked, "Xia Zhihe? What is he here for?"
"He comes to this street on the fifth and twenty-fifth of every month. Have you seen the bookstore opposite?" Wu Zechen came to Xia Luotong, gathered her cloak to prevent her from catching cold, and then pointed Pointing to the bookstore opposite, he said, "He comes to this bookstore on these two days every month to pick out two books, and then..."
"What next? Don't tantalize me!" Xia Luotong quickly asked out of curiosity. The Wuyi tribe had also reported Xia Zhihe's trip to her, but they found nothing unusual.
"Then I had a private meeting with the bookstore owner's daughter. We stayed in this bookstore and didn't go anywhere else." Wu Zechen said with a somewhat unnatural expression. After all, he was saying this kind of thing in front of his sweetheart, so he was inevitably a little embarrassed. .
But looking back at Xia Luotong, there was no hint of shyness on her face. Instead, she turned back suddenly, looked into his dark eyes, and confirmed with surprise and joy: "Seriously? He was actually talking to someone in this store. A private meeting with the shopkeeper’s daughter? Can the shopkeeper agree?”
"After all, Xia Zhihe is sitting as the Minister of Rites. He is the head of the Ministry of Etiquette and a second-rank official of the imperial court. For ordinary people, he is an unattainable nobleman. If he can win the favor of such a big shot, why doesn't the shopkeeper agree?" Wu Zechen He said with a faint look at the bookstore opposite.
Xia Luotong raised her eyebrows slightly, roughly understanding what kind of people the bookstore owner and his daughter were, but she was confused: "Such a person wouldn't be willing to follow Xia Zhihe without a name or status, right?"
"Well, the father and daughter wanted to go into the house and live with their aunt, but Xia Zhihe temporarily stabilized them, saying that they would have to wait until the shopkeeper's daughter was pregnant before they could enter the house. At that time, the wife of the family would not be able to Objected.”
