Ting Yu and Ting Xue stepped forward and explained their purpose of coming. Xi Duanhong sat in the carriage, and Zhou Xu stayed by the carriage, waiting until someone came out. The leader was a man who looked to be about the same age as Xi Duanhong, behind him Still following the boy
Zhou Xu reminded in a low voice from the carriage: "Miss, it's Xu Feng. He came out to greet you personally."
Ting Yu and Ding Xue helped Xi Duanhong out of the carriage, "Miss, be careful where you step."
The moment Xu Feng saw Xi Duanhong, his heart trembled, his eyes were a little shocked, and then he stepped forward with a greedy look in his eyes, "I guess this is Miss Xi Duanhong, I'm Xu Feng Feng is the head of the Xu family, it’s an honor for me to have you come, please.”
In Xi Duanhong's eyes, Xu Feng's behavior was tantamount to flattery and disgusting, but she still had the patience to smile back, "Thank you, please."
Xi Duanhong followed Xu Feng and walked in. Everyone went in. Zhou Xu climbed over the wall and went in.
main hall
"I wonder if the Master of the Xu family has invited me here for some reason?"
Xu Feng smiled flatteringly and said: "Miss Xi, don't be afraid. This is just a convention. All outsiders must come to my place first. I had wanted to invite the girl over for a long time. Unfortunately, I don't know what the girl is busy with these days. There are no people, no, it’s rare that the girl is here today, so I can’t wait to let the girl come and make this routine a formality.”
Xi Duanhong picked up the tea brought by the maid. He knew there was something here just after smelling it. He put the hand holding the tea cup back and said, "Master Xu, I am very curious about when this practice started. I would like to share it with you." ?"
Seeing that Xi Duanhong did not drink the cup of tea, Xu Feng's face showed a trace of unnaturalness, "This custom has been passed down by the older generation. We, the descendants, can only follow it. Girl, drink it." Tea."
"Don't be in a hurry to drink tea. Recently, I heard some rumors that the envoy from Kyoto has disappeared. Master Xu, do you know about this?"
Xu Feng paused in his drinking of tea, and his face was a little livid, but he still said calmly: "We don't know whether this matter is true or not yet, so girls can't talk nonsense, but why are girls so concerned about this matter?"
"I'm not afraid of Family Master Xu's jokes. The person coming this time is the eldest son of the Gu family in Kyoto, who is also my sweetheart, so I'm more interested in it." Xi Duanhong pretended to be sad and wiped away his non-existent tears with a handkerchief. "To tell you the truth, the head of the family did not send me a message today to ask me to come. I will also visit you privately in a few days."
"Oh, how can I say this?"
"I have long heard that Xu Family Master is young and promising, and can cover the sky with one hand in Jiangnan. If I want to find someone, I need to ask Xu Family Master for help."
Xu Feng loved hearing this and laughed, "Don't worry, my head has helped with this matter."
Xi Duanhong hurriedly stood up and thanked him, "Thank you very much, Master Xu. I won't bother you too much. If I can't find him, I won't feel at ease. Master Xu, take your leave."
Without waiting for Xu Feng to say goodbye, Xi Duanhong Yiran left quickly and immediately got into the carriage after leaving the door of Xu's mansion. Xu Feng looked at the person leaving and raised the corners of his lips with a sneer, "Qingfeng, go find Gu Zi'ang. Find him and kill him."
A figure disappeared in the darkness
"Miss, what did you just say?" Tingyu and Tingxue asked curiously as soon as they got into the car.
Xi Duanhong waved his hands and said, "Of course it's a lie. If I didn't say that, I wouldn't be able to escape. Just now, Xu Feng asked his servants to serve me medicinal tea."
After hearing this, Ting Xue immediately knelt down in front of Xi Duanhong, "This is a subordinate who made an oversight. Please punish me, Miss."
Xi Duanhong hurriedly helped the person up, "This matter has nothing to do with you, and I didn't drink it. Get up."
Xi Duanhong saw the methods of this person who was not much different from himself. It was really disgusting. If he wanted to cooperate, this person was definitely not among his considerations.
As soon as the group arrived at the door, they saw Qian Shengxue waiting at the door. Zhou Xu opened the curtain and let Qian Shengxue in. Xi Duanhong, who was about to get out of the car, couldn't help but be startled when he saw Xue'er coming in.
"Xue'er, what are you doing?"
"I can help you, take me there."
Ting Yu and Ting Xue wisely dismounted and allowed the two of them to talk inside. Xi Duanhong understood that Jian Xingshang must have said something to her, and said helplessly, "Axu, go to Jia's Mansion and let's meet the prefect." .”
"yes."
"Xue'er, do you know who Jia Ping is?"
"Of course," Qian Shengxue proudly took out a volume from her arms, "Well, this is Jia Ping's life. When I got here on the first day, I asked Ji Yu to help me get a copy. Let's Isn’t this the purpose of going here to get him to unite with us? Even if it doesn’t work, it’s better not to become an enemy, am I right?”
While being astonished, Xi Duanhong was very pleased, "My Xue'er is actually so powerful. So, what should we say later?"
"Well, I'll decide when we get there, but what I'm sure of is that we won't leave empty-handed."
"Are you so sure that we won't leave empty-handed?"
"certainly."
Xi Duanhong was dubious about Qian Shengxue's words, but Jian Xingshang also said that she could do it. Naturally, he had to choose to believe it and take it step by step.
When the carriage stopped, Zhou Xu's voice came over, "We're here, miss."
The two of them got out of the car one after another, and when they were about to walk in, a man walked up behind them. This man looked to be a few years older than Xi Duanhong. The three of them looked at each other for a long time. The man raised his hands and said, "Jia Ping, this is me, Jia Ping." Someone’s mansion, what’s going on with the two young ladies?”
Looking at Jia Ping who was met without any effort, Xi Duanhong stepped forward and returned the greeting, "Little girl Xi Duanhong, this is Qian Shengxue. The two of us were specially found. I wonder if I can lend a moment to talk." .”
Jia Ping looked at the clock and welcomed the two of them in, "What are you two ladies doing?"
"We want to talk to you about cooperation." Qian Shengxue said this before Xi Duanhong spoke.
The three of them came to a pavilion and sat down. The maid on the side immediately prepared tea and placed it in front of the three of them. Jia Ping looked at the two women in front of him calmly. What a smart person he is. There have been many people outside these days. News about property acquisitions
"I guess one of you two must be a newly promoted female official in the court, right?" Jia Ping followed Qian Shengxue's words and glanced back and forth at the two of them. "I am a colleague of the prefect of Yizhou, and we are also colleagues." He was a former classmate, and he wrote me a letter, saying that the female officials from the DPRK and the Central Government would be here, and told what happened to you on the way there."
"However, not long ago, before you came here, the court also sent someone. Compared with him, I trust the two girls more," he paused, "so can the two girls tell the truth?"
Qian Shengxue held Xi Duanhong's hand and signaled her not to act rashly. She raised her eyes to meet Jia Ping's eyes, "Your Excellency, you are right. There is a female officer between the two of us, but it is not important. We are here It’s just about the acquisition.”
Jia Ping smiled and waited for the next step.
"I acquired all the properties here, and I also control a waterway. Now all the prices have been adjusted back to the price that I can adjust."
"In the final analysis, the girl is at fault in this matter. Jia is afraid that she will be convicted."
"My lord, please don't rush to convict me first," Qian Shengxue said to Xi Duanhong, "Xi'er, you go somewhere else for a stroll first, and I will discuss the pros and cons with this lord in detail."
Xi Duanhong naturally believed in Qian Shengxue unconditionally. He stood up and left and walked out. This Jia family was neither big nor small. Xi Duanhong came to a garden and saw something that he shouldn't see here. s things
A man and a woman making love to each other in the garden in broad daylight, dressed disheveled and unseemly.
"Hey, what a beautiful little lady, are you the new lady of Yucheng?"
Xi Duanhong rolled his eyes at him angrily, "No, who are you to act so inappropriately in someone else's house!"
When the two were in a stalemate, Jia Ping and Qian Shengxue arrived. Qian Shengxue came to Xi Duanhong and whispered: "It's done."
Jia Ping waved his hand and explained: "I'm sorry, Miss Xi, this is Mr. Zhang, known as Zhang Wanjin. It was my guest who offended him for treating the girl so much. I apologize to the girl for him."
"It's okay, it's not in the way." Xi Duanhong sneered at the fact that he had such a guest.
Zhang Wanjin stared at the two people in front of him in fascination, "Yucheng, let me introduce you, where did you meet this beauty?"
This man looks like Zhou Zhou Zhengzheng and has a good appearance, but what he says is so annoying. This is Xi Duanhong's impression of Zhang Wanjin when he first met him.
"This is Miss Xi Duanhongxi, and this is Miss Qian Shengxue. These two will also be our guests from now on. Wan Jin, please don't have any evil thoughts towards them."
Upon hearing this, my colleague Zhang Wanjin put away his cheerful and lustful face, came to the two of them and saluted gracefully, "I was rude just now, please forgive me, girl, I have nothing good, just a lot of money, so why don't I Give the girl a box of gold to show your apology?"
Xi Duanhong and Qian Shengxue were confused. How rich is this person? They gave him a silver box. Not only was the box gold,
Xi Duanhong hurriedly refused, "No, Master Jia, we will take our leave now. There is no need to see each other off."
"Okay, then I won't give it away. You two can go slowly."
Watching the two people leaving, Zhang Wanjin once again put on his lazy expression and lay lazily on the lounge chair, surrounded by three or four girls, "When did there be two more guests? How come I didn't know."
"Also, you almost molested someone from the Imperial Preceptor just now. If that girl hadn't carelessly argued with you, even if you had ten lives, it wouldn't have been enough for you to die at the hands of the Imperial Preceptor."
Zhang Wanjin yawned lazily, "Interesting, it is said that the Imperial Master has never been flirtatious with women, so why did a woman suddenly show up? Could it be that you were deceived in Yucheng?"
"Do you think I, the prefect, am just a freeloader? That Qiansheng girl is a fellow villager with you. No wonder you are both equally rich."
"We are from the same hometown as me. Could it be that she is also from Dongli?"
Jia Ping smacked his lips and said, "She is much nobler than you. She is a princess and you are a businessman. Why are you comparing yourself to others?"
"Yes, yes, you are right."
