The second day of April in the seventeenth year of Qianxing.
Today is a good day to meet friends, travel far, and be buried.
Not suitable for opening.
Morning time.
Several muffled thunders sounded in the sky, and then thin raindrops began to fall in the sky.
In the slanting wind and drizzle, Zhang Ao hung the Qianqiu Quality Warehouse's signboard firmly behind the door, looked at it for a while, and then slid down the ladder.
Then he picked up the ladder and walked through the door.
The front door of Qianqiu Zhiku was deserted. There was no one except the lonely streets and the wind and rain.
There was no opening ceremony, no congratulatory crowd, not even the owner was present.
Su Shi was at Shili Pavilion outside the city.
There seems to be a Ten Mile Pavilion outside every town, because people leave every town every day.
Since there is separation, there must be someone to see you off, and Su Shi is here to say goodbye today.
The person had left and the wine pot was dry, but Su Shi still sat motionless in the Shili Pavilion, staring at the end of the road in a daze.
Lin Mo sat next to him, his face flushed and his eyes somewhat straightened.
"Sir, don't worry, they will take good care of themselves." Seeing that Su Shi was unwilling to leave for a long time, Lin Mo persuaded.
"I know that they are all very strong people. I am not worried about them." Speaking of this, Su Shi sighed slightly: "I'm just a little regretful."
"What's the regret?"
"It's a pity that they didn't see Bai Jiangchuan's fate with their own eyes."
Although Cui Nong's legs have been connected, she will not be able to move as freely as ordinary people in the future. Hua Fu's hands can no longer lift heavy objects, let alone play musical instruments. Chen Shuang's appearance has been ruined and she must cover herself with a thick cloth when traveling. noodle.
And Bai Jiangchuan is still living well in this world.
"But they were very happy when they left." Lin Mo suddenly grinned and said, "I believe they will have no regrets if they can drink the wine that the young master personally brewed for them."
"But I have regrets in my heart." Su Shi sighed: "Because I no longer remember the original intention of opening this interstitial library."
With this long sigh, Su Shi stood up and walked into the wind and rain.
Dongyuan Quality Library.
Bai Jiangchuan was lying on a comfortable bench, with a docile civet cat lying in his arms. His hands kept running along the cat's fur.
When the snow-white poodle bared its teeth at him, Bai Jiangchuan began to raise cats, because he felt that cats were gentler than dogs, and as long as you gave them food, they would always stay with you.
While he was following the hair, he looked at Du Heng, his eyes flashing with viciousness and madness.
He said calmly: "Qianqiu Quality Warehouse opened today?"
"yes."
"I remember that the almanac said it was not appropriate to open today."
"yes."
Bai Jiangchuan said again: "But it is written in the imperial calendar that today is the day to meet friends. Have you sent my congratulatory gift?"
"Sent it over."
"Did they accept it?"
"I accepted it." Du Heng replied: "Not only did he accept it, but he also hung it solemnly in the courtyard and said he would knock it every day."
Bai Jiangchuan suddenly clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Take it, it's better to ring it every day. As the saying goes, once the bell rings, there is ten thousand taels of gold."
Then his expression suddenly turned cold again: "Where is Su Shi?"
"Second Young Master Su is not here."
Bai Jiangchuan was a little surprised: "His business opened today, but he wasn't here?"
Du Heng nodded and said: "According to the people at Qianqiu Zhiku, Second Young Master Su went to say goodbye because his friend was traveling far away."
Bai Jiangchuan murmured: "Friends traveling far away? What friend is more important than opening a business? I need Second Young Master Lao Su to see me off in person."
"It's the Cui Nong, Chen Shuang and Hua Fu of the Flower Garden."
"They left the flower shop?"
"yes."
"Where to go?"
"have no idea."
Bai Jiangchuan suddenly asked coldly: "Can you catch up with them?"
Du Heng was shocked and his body was trembling slightly.
"What do you mean, Master?"
Bai Jiangchuan's expression suddenly became crazy, and he laughed and said: "If their heads are sent as a gift of closing down the business when Qianqiu Quality Warehouse is closed, don't you think our Second Young Master Su will be very surprised? ?”
Du Heng took a deep breath, exhaled it slowly, and said cautiously: "If you do this, I'm afraid we will have an inseparable relationship with the General's Mansion."
Bai Jiangchuan said calmly: "He has already said that he will kill me. Do you think we and the General's Mansion can still live in peace?"
Du Heng raised his hand, then gritted his teeth and said, "I'll do it right away."
Bai Jiangchuan was about to speak when a servant hurriedly came to the door with a hint of surprise on his face and said, "Master, someone is visiting."
"who?"
"The person in charge of Qianqiu Zhiku, the Second Young Master Su of General Mansion, Su Shi."
Bai Jiangchuan was so surprised that he couldn't help but straighten up. Just when the civet cat in his arms let out a dissatisfied cry, Bai Jiangchuan grabbed it by the back of the neck, waved his hand, and threw it away.
The civet cat flipped several times in the air, landed lightly on the ground, and then ran away.
Bai Jiangchuan was not in the mood to pay attention to the cat at this time. He just looked directly at the servant and said coldly: "You said Su Shi came to visit?"
The servant shrank his neck and replied hurriedly: "Master Su just returned to Qianqiu Zhiku. He saw the gift from the young master and said that he liked it very much, so he came to visit."
Bai Jiangchuan had a crazy look in his eyes, but he couldn't help laughing and said, "Young Master Su is an honored guest, so why don't you invite me soon?"
Zuofu.
In the study room.
Zuo Xiangting stood in front of the window, watching the silky raindrops falling on the pond, creating ripples. His mood was as restless as the pond water.
"Is Su Shi's quality warehouse open for business?"
Zuo Zongyuan's dark eyes looked into the distance, which was hazy under the rain.
After a long time, he replied: "Yes."
"Can you guess his plan?"
Zuo Zongyuan shook his head and said, "I can't guess."
Having said this, he couldn't help but sigh: "Su Shi always acts unexpectedly. I'm afraid no one can guess his plan, just like no one would have thought that Qianqiu Quality Warehouse would open today."
"The almanac says that today is not the day to open the business, but Su Shi chose today to open the business."
Zuo Xiangting asked slowly: "What are you going to do?"
"Wait." Zuo Zongyuan said calmly: "Now we can only wait for Su Shi to take action. Only when I know Su Shi's plan can I know what I should do."
Then he added: "I still don't believe that Su Shi would make such a big show just to deal with a Bai Jiangchuan."
No one would offend Dongyuan Zhiku for three old and lustful brothel girls, let alone a prince.
"Then what do you think Su Shi's real purpose is?"
Zuo Zongyuan answered simply: "I don't know. But as soon as Su Shi takes action, his true purpose will be revealed sooner or later."
At this time, the wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier. Zuo Xiangting looked at the wind and rain in the sky and asked: "Who do you think will win in this battle, Qianqiu Dongzhi or Dongyuan Zhiku?"
Zuo Zongyuan didn't hesitate at all. He replied: "If someone makes a bet on who will win between these two warehouses, I will definitely place all my bets on Qianqiu warehouse."
