"You are such a ungraceful person," Zelan said, "Ask the stall owner. It was obvious that we were the ones who took a fancy to it first, and you snatched it away as soon as we put down the money."
Only then did the man raise his head, and Shen Que saw a pair of long and narrow phoenix eyes, with a hint of purity in his light grace.
"This lady is so unreasonable. This product is placed here for people to see. Do you like it as yours? Did you pay for it?" He also refused to give in and argued hard.
"You paid the money, did the stall owner accept it?" Zelan slapped the money on the case, "I also paid the money."
"You..." The man seemed a little angry and turned to the stall owner: "I'll give you all this money. I want everything on your stall."
Then he raised his eyebrows, narrowed his phoenix eyes and looked at Zelan, jokingly saying: "I've made a decision and left. Please be early next time, little lady."
"How could there be someone like you..."
"never mind."
Zelan still wanted to argue with him, but Shen Que interrupted her, "Let's go."
"Can't leave."
Mutam's voice sounded behind him, he was back after finishing his work.
"What's wrong?" Mutam asked her. Zeelan wanted to complain, but looked at the lady and held back. She lowered her head in grievance and glared at the man.
"It's nothing, let's go." Shen Que wanted to leave, but the next moment, the young man grabbed her arm. Shen Que looked up at him in surprise, but the man's eyes didn't look at her. Instead, she stared blankly at Mutam.
"What are you doing?" Zeelan stepped forward and wanted to open his hand.
The man actually pushed Shen Que behind him, then let go and grabbed Mutam's arm again, exclaiming:
"You are His Highness the Prince, my God, His Highness the Prince, you are really His Highness the Prince, me, do you know me?"
Mutam stared at him, shook his head, stretched out his hand to push him away, and pulled Shen Que away.
The man still held his arm tightly and said enthusiastically: "I am Liang Fan. You also gave me a reward. I, it's me, I have been doing business in Soto Country."
Mutam seemed to have remembered something. He paused and said with a smile: "Oh, that's a coincidence. We have to rush to get on the boat, so I won't accompany you."
After saying that, he pulled Shen Que and Zelan to leave.
"What, wait, where are you going, what ship?"
The man named Liang Fan spread his arms like a dog-skin plaster and directly blocked their way.
"Are you going back to Soto?"
Mutam said yes, "Let's talk about it next time."
"Wait a minute." The man shouted, "I have been doing business in Soto Country for these years. I just came back to Daye a few months ago. Who knows that I want to leave now but I can't find a ship back. Your Highness, please take me with you." Let me come with you."
Mutam was stunned and looked at Shen Que. Shen Que had an idea and quietly shook his head at him. Mutam understood and said: "I'm afraid this is inconvenient. I don't know you after all. You see, we met by chance." ,nor……"
"Your Highness the Prince." Liang Fan immediately began to cry miserably, "We, the people of the Liang family in Daye, have been doing business in Daye for generations. If it weren't for the dominance of the Shen family, which forced us to have no choice, then we would have had no choice but to He moved to Soto Country to do business, but unexpectedly he got help and support from His Highness the Prince, and he became prosperous in these years.
I originally wanted to bring some fresh goods with me when I came back this time. Unexpectedly, I have been here for several months and I still can’t find a boat that can go back. Your Highness, you are compassionate. You are the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother. Please bring it with you. Let me come with you. If I don’t go back, my parents will probably..."
Before he could finish his words, he squatted on the ground holding Mutam's lap and cried so hard that he attracted many onlookers.
"Is it okay if I give you money? Or, I can do the work for you, and you can just take me back."
He cried incessantly, which was upsetting to listen to.
"Stand up first." Shen indeed couldn't bear to watch anymore and touched him, "Stand up and speak."
Liang Fan stood up and looked at Mutam with his phoenix eyes.
Shen Que stood sideways in front of Mutam and said, "It's not impossible to take you back with me. We are neither short of money nor want money, but..."
She stared intently at the pile of puppet dancers that Liang Fan had just obtained, her words unfinished but her meaning clear.
Liang Fan was not a fool, and he understood it immediately. However, he had to give up the treasure he had just obtained before he could warm it up. He was really unwilling to do so, and hesitated for a moment.
Shen Que glanced at him and pulled Mutam to leave: "Let's go, we should go back."
"Okay, okay, I'll give this to you." Liang Fan finally compromised and reluctantly gave up.
Shen Que asked Zelan to give him the money and put away the things with a smile. When he looked up, he saw those phoenix eyes staring at her with endless sadness, resentment and unwillingness.
After a few people visited the market, Shen Que collected a lot of new things and returned home with a full load.
Mutam joked: "The way you're going around, I'm afraid I'll have to charter another boat just to put the goods for you."
He was just joking, but something clicked in Shen Que's mind, as if these words contained new business opportunities.
After noon, several people returned to the boat.
From the moment he agreed to take Liang Fan with him to having lunch and getting on the boat, Liang Fan's mouth was never idle and he kept talking.
From the characteristics of the market to the food and drinks in the restaurant to the continuous praise of the official ship, it was so painful to Shen that Zelan wanted to argue with him at first, but in the end he had to lose the battle. Keep asking him: "Are you thirsty?"
Finally sitting down to rest, Liang Fan started a new topic.
"Your Highness the Prince, you are the hope for the future of the Soto Country. Our Liang family's business in the Soto Country depends entirely on His Highness the Prince's foresight and your special tax reduction and exemption policy. Oops, my father also said that he would treat you to a drink. Thank you very much."
Mutampi responded with a smile, already too tired to pay attention to him.
"Since Mr. Liang has made money, why don't you go back to Daye?" Shen Que asked him.
Unexpectedly, this question caused Liang Fan to sigh, followed by a new round of crying:
"Madam, I don't know. We who do business are all about momentum. The competition in Daye is too fierce. If nothing else, the Shen family is the only one. We can't compete with them."
Shen Que lowered his eyes, looked at him again and asked: "In business, you do yours and I do mine. Without the Shen family and the Wang family and the Zhao family, it is possible that there would be no rivals. What would be the hindrance?"
Liang Fan waved his hand and shook his head, and said helplessly: "Madam, I don't know something. The Shen family's things are so cheap, and we don't know how they do it. I heard that the power behind the Dong family is very powerful. It is said that the black and white can take it all." Got a very cheap purchase price.”
Shen Que and Mutam looked at each other, suppressed the raised corners of their mouths, pretended not to know, and asked: "Oh, there is such a thing, do you know his boss?"
Liang Fandao knew him, "I have researched their products, and they are really good, and they are not available on the market, so I guessed that there might be another channel, probably through some clandestine method.
I heard that the young head of their family is in charge. His name is Shen Que. It is said that he is a dominatrix. He looks... tsk tsk tsk. That name is fierce and ugly. It is said that it can stop children from crying at night. "
Good guy, this is Zhong Kui.
Shen Que almost laughed.
Mutam said speechlessly: "Are you sure you know Shen Que?"
Liang Fan patted his chest and assured: "I have dealt with her before. She is tall and thick, and one arm touches my waist, which is scary. But think about it, if the little lady who has been doing business since she was a child is not more fierce and ugly, how can she be more ugly? He was not bullied to death, so he was excusable.
However, I still admire her mind, she is really smart. "
Shen Que smiled and nodded silently.
When Liang Fan saw that everyone was interested in this topic, he simply said more:
"I also specially collected information about Shen Que's business and shop opening over the years. There are indeed traces to follow. I have studied her business very thoroughly. If I see her again one day, I must ask for advice in person. I This person never judges people by their appearance. Although they are ugly, what I admire is their brains."
After saying that, he felt quite proud. Mutam shook his head and Zeelan covered his mouth and chuckled.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Liang Fan realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere and quickly asked Shen Que:
"I recognize His Royal Highness, but I don't know what to call this young lady?"
Shen Zhen remained silent and continued to drink tea slowly.
Mutam flattened his lips and said, "She is the dominatrix you just mentioned, Shen Que, the young head of the Shen family."
Only then did Shen Que solemnly stand up and bow to Liang Fan: "My little daughter Shen Que, I will not change my name when I go, I will not change my surname when I sit down, and I will pay my respects to Mr. Liang."
It was a bolt from the blue and his scalp was numb. Liang Fan just wanted to jump into the river.
But he doesn't know how to drink water.
Embarrassed, humiliated, and ashamed.
With his face suddenly red and then white, the dignified seven-foot-tall man stood there at a loss and stammered:
"You... are Shen Que, right? Really... really? Ah, how could it be you? Why do you look so good-looking? What did I... just say..."
"Brother Liang just said that I am..."
"No, I made a mistake."
"Oh, then Brother Liang also said that my arm is thick against your waist."
"No, no, I..."
Liang Fan hurriedly handed over his hands: "I'm sorry, little lady, it was my fault. I spoke so freely. I really can't help it. I hope you won't hold anything against me."
Shen Que laughed and said nothing.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Liang Fan added: "I have stupid eyes. I have never seen Madam Shen before. I didn't know that Madam Shen is so beautiful, so young and beautiful, and so smart and capable. How disrespectful and disrespectful..."
Shen Que couldn't listen anymore and said, "That's it. Mr. Liang, please sit down."
Unexpectedly, Liang Fan did not sit down but instead lifted up his robe and knelt down, clasping his fists and saying:
"Today I saw Madam Shen's true face. Liang seemed to have seen Chang'e that day. He didn't know that Madam Shen was born into such a beautiful woman. If Madam Shen doesn't dislike it, I..."
Before he finished speaking, Mutam grabbed him by the collar: "What do you want to do?"
"Ah?" Liang Fan was stunned, "I, I want to...become a disciple."
