Xiao Chen held her hand, smiled and teased: "If we really want to leave, we will have to abandon the Chamber of Commerce. Are you willing to give up the income there?"
Concubine Jing was choked with words and speechless.
After thinking carefully, she gave the most honest answer: "Of course I can't bear it."
“It’s really hard to accept that the industry that has taken so long to operate must be abandoned overnight.”
"That's right!" Xiao Chen shrugged, "It's not easy to get to this point, but I'm not willing to leave like this!"
Concubine Jing could sympathize with his thoughts, just as she couldn't abandon the interests of the Chamber of Commerce.
However, Xiao Chen's current situation of walking on thin ice is inevitably worrying.
The woman's eyebrows were filled with emotion, and she said firmly: "If I have to, I am willing to give up those things for you!"
Xiao Chen was slightly surprised. Her charming eyes were full of sincerity, how could she not be moved.
Xiao Chen patted her head: "Just wait for me to work harder."
"You are willing to sacrifice so much for me, how can I be willing to make you feel regretful?"
If we can move to Chen Jin, if we can really treat the emperor as a puppet, all the difficulties will be solved!
Xiao Chen is waiting for an opportunity.
The two had been affectionate for a long time, and it was already getting late when they left.
In the next two or three days, other aristocratic families came to visit one after another.
The Zhang family, the Li family, and the Du family all matched up and sent money and beautiful women.
It's called a generous move!
Of course, there are things to give and things to ask for. Either looking for a way out, or taking charge of those areas in the household department.
Xiao Chen was so used to it that he was even numb.
On the other hand, Wei Zhongxian, who was very busy, felt that counting money was a hard job for the first time: "Sir, I haven't finished counting the several boxes of treasures from the Wang family two days ago, so here comes another pile."
He suddenly felt that it was not easy to be the general manager, and he would immediately become a dog!
Can't those people just send money? The value of rare and exotic treasures is also difficult to convert, so you have to go to a pawn shop to confirm!
Xiao Chen yawned, "Do a good job. You can choose a few of the beauties they sent to serve you personally."
When he heard what he said, Wei Zhongxian's eyes lit up: "Thank you, sir, for the reward!"
The beauties sent by the aristocratic families were all carefully selected, and Wei Zhongxian looked at them with envy in his heart. He never thought that he would still have such a blessing!
Encouragement leads to motivation. Wei Zhongxian was full of energy and ordered several people to count the money in front of him.
Just at this moment, the doorman came to report again: "Sir, Mr. Chen of the Chen family came to visit with gifts."
"Well, just say that the governor is unwell. Just put the things away and ask him what he wants. Just let me know later."
Xiao Chen has been so happy that he has lost himself in the past two days, pretending to smile and being polite every day, he is tired if they are not tired!
If it were before, Xiao Chen would definitely participate in it and feel the charm of money.
However, due to his position and situation, he really didn't have the intention.
The more diligent you are when you are upset, the more disgusting you become when a thoughtful person is trying to please you for a purpose.
The night was slightly cool, and Ji Yunlan quietly entered the backyard of Dongchang.
This is the exclusive passage given to them by Xiao Chen, and it will not be blocked by anyone.
"Xiao Chenzi, who bullied you? Why do you look so depressed?"
Ji Yunlan approached him playfully, trying to scare him unexpectedly, but in exchange, the other party was indifferent.
"Tch, it's really boring." She waved in front of Xiao Chen repeatedly, feeling a little frustrated, "Are you really being bullied?"
"That's not right, you are so smart, who can let you be wronged!"
Xiao Chen was amused by her words and said, "You, no matter how capable I am, I can't twist my thigh with my arms."
Ji Yunlan understood instantly: "Is that dead eunuch Chen Jin making things difficult for you again?"
"Don't worry, I will vent your anger later and deliberately make things difficult for him!"
Ji Yunlan waved her fist symbolically, trying to make Xiao Chen happy.
Seeing the half-raised corner of his mouth, his smile seemed a bit far-fetched, Ji Yunlan gave up, "You are really disrespectful."
Suddenly, Xiao Chen hugged her in his arms and said, "The wind is cold at night, so don't make yourself sick."
Ji Yunlan's face turned red, and she couldn't extricate herself from the warmth in her chest. She said coquettishly, "You have some conscience."
"I know the princess wants to comfort me, but she's just a little tired recently and really can't laugh."
Ji Yunlan thoughtfully said: "If you are tired, just rest and I will accompany you~"
Her eyes were as pure as glass, full of innocence, and made Xiao Chen dumbfounded.
He poked Ji Yunlan's head lightly: "I'm not only tired physically, but also mentally tired and weak."
"Will you also be mentally tired?"
Forget it, this little princess who is not familiar with the world probably won't be able to understand even if she explains it.
Xiao Chen held her hand tighter, it felt good, as if it could fill his empty heart.
Ji Yunlan let him hold her and fell asleep unconsciously.
After sending people away early the next morning, Xiao Chen welcomed a new guest.
It's still the old rule, people are willing to send them to the front yard to tell the outside world, ask for it to be conveyed directly, and claim to be sick.
Those aristocratic families thought it didn't matter. Anyway, they were doing it for a purpose, not really to make friends.
When you get a satisfactory answer, you will be free and happy.
As soon as the front foot was sent away, the doorman stepped forward again.
Xiao Chen was watering the flowers when he heard the sound of footsteps and directly interrupted the other party: "Just handle it according to the old rules."
The doorman hesitated slightly: "Sir, the people who came to visit this time are not the eight great families, but the Yuncai people in the palace."
"Yuncairen?"
It always feels familiar.
I remember it, Yun Yaner!
That woman who pretended to be someone with unknown intentions.
Xiao Chen raised the corners of his lips slightly, "After so many days, she still can't sit still."
"Invite people to my place."
Xiao Chen evacuated some people slightly, with the doorman in front and Yun Yaner in a pink dress following closely behind.
"Sir, I've grown up."
"Okay, you go down first."
There was no one around, so Yun Yaner slowly bowed her head and said, "The slave family has met Governor Xiao!"
Xiao Chen chuckled: "I don't dare take it seriously. You are His Majesty's woman after all now. Why should I, a eunuch, be so respectful?"
Yun Yan'er's delicate little face was specially covered with eating powder, and she changed into a fresh and refined light makeup.
After hearing Xiao Chen's words, she lamented sadly: "Master Xiao, don't be ridiculous, you are your Majesty's woman."
"To be honest, Yan'er is still a virgin..."
Speaking of this matter, Yun Yaner felt a little annoyed at Xiao Chen.
If it weren't for the fact that he praised himself in front of the princess, Ji Yunlan wouldn't be jealous of wearing small shoes for him.
Let me ask, with dozens of beauties added to the harem, how could Chu Yanwu go to Chongqing to favor an unknown talent?
