126. Phoenix Building
126.Phoenix Tower
"Ah? That's what people say outside, about you and the silkworm farmer outside the city..." Hua Jin'er covered her mouth and looked at her cousin, hoping that she could save her.
It was all because the atmosphere they were having just now was so good that she had forgotten for a moment that the Xu San next to her was a character that all the little girls in the city were afraid of.
She is highly skilled in martial arts, and like her father, a prison officer, she is ruthless and unsmiling.
The most frightening thing is that she injured someone and was able to heal them with acupuncture. When it came to the laws of the day, she could also say one, two, three, four... a lot of things to "do something" between herself and others.
Things are given various legitimate names.
Over time, no one dared to provoke her.
That is to say, my cousin is very powerful. They didn't meet each other in the past, but they would kill each other as soon as they met.
Chu Xujun is also very curious about Mrs. Xu Sanniang's "marriage". After all, this is one of the reasons why she came here today.
How can a hero like Xu Sanniang be discussed like this by other women?
"You mean... He Chang? He does live in my house. But we are not engaged." Xu Qingqing remained calm and took a sip of iced soy milk.
Regardless of whether this deal comes to fruition or not, she will be able to drink such a drink regularly from now on, feeling comfortable.
Hua Jin'er covered her mouth, only revealing her watery eyes, and did not dare to speak any more.
Chu Xujun said calmly: "I also heard that the wife of the Xu family chose He Chang, but the family did not agree."
Xu Qingqing frowned: "Our family has never liked to inquire. The relationship between He Chang and I is not what the rumors say. Moreover, it was my father who took the initiative to let him stay at my house to study. It has something to do with me, but not much."
Having said this, Xu Qingqing also felt strange. Could it be that her father stayed with He Chang because of this matter? Is that so?
But there is indeed another connection between her and He Chang, but in her heart it has nothing to do with the relationship between a man and a woman.
Hua Jin'er put down her palm and rushed forward: "Ms. Xu Sanniang, then why have you refused to marry for so many years? I'm just curious, so I won't go out and talk nonsense."
She discovered that although Mrs. Xu Sanniang had always been expressionless, she spoke calmly and was not annoyed when she heard her own gossip. She had a very good temper.
Xu Qingqing's expression was indeed expressionless: "Does Miss Hua like your betrothal partner?" Since Hua Jin'er inquired about her affairs, it was normal for her to inquire on her own.
Hua Jin'er blushed and nodded.
Xu Qingqing remained expressionless: "Then I envy you. To this day, I don't know what it feels like to have my heart beat.
Although my father was worried about my marriage, he never forced me to do so. No matter what the outside world said, he also said that if he cared about his reputation, he would not become such a prosecutor. Our family let me choose slowly and not in a hurry."
Hua Jin'er: "Wow, then I envy you. Mrs. Xu Sanniang, you are so happy."
Xu Qingqing nodded in agreement: "That's right."
The unsuspecting Hua Jin'er had already approached Mrs. Xu Sanniang. She grabbed the hand of the woman who was scared just now: "Sister Xu, although I'm not smart, things like heartbeat are very casual. I used to
, I just think that the gold jewelry on Brother Cheng’s body is very beautiful, just as beautiful as mine. Turns out, hehe, I didn’t expect that he felt the same way.”
"Then you are really suitable for making gold jewelry."
"Yes, yes, let me tell you..." Hua Jin'er chatted for a long time and then came back, "So, take your time, you might also meet a man who has common interests with you."
Xu Qingqing analyzed it carefully: "You mean, I should find a general, a doctor... or a cook?"
Hua Jin'er counted the things that Mrs. Xu San knew, and gradually opened her mouth: "Wow, Sister Xu San, you are so awesome. We are really not the same kind of people."
Sure enough, gossip and secrets are the most eternal glue between people. Chu Xujun saw the two people immediately getting involved and said with a smile: "What kind of person does Jin'er think Sister Qingqing is?"
Hua Jin'er was very serious: "Cousin and Sister Xu San are very similar, but not alike. You are both equally capable and can do a lot more than me. But cousin, let me tell the truth, you are better than Sister Xu San.
It’s much more complicated.”
Xu Qingqing was also very serious: "What does Mrs. Hua mean by saying that the Chu family's younger sister has richer expressions than me?"
Chu Xujun:......
I originally thought that there was only one fool in this room, but I didn't expect that there were two fools in the room, and they made a perfect pair.
But originally, what she wanted to get was technology and financial investment, so these two people didn't have much of a problem.
Hua Jin'er herself has no money, but the princess of the Hua family behind her has a lot of money. She doesn't have money in vain, so why should her "aunt" be so polite?
As for sales and operation issues, when she first bought this restaurant, she was interested in more than just this building.
"Cousin, what should our building be called?"
Chu Xujun came back to his senses: "You can take your own floors. As for the whole building, let's call it Phoenix Tower." When branches opened later, they were called Panda Tower, White Horse Tower...
Hua Jin'er looked at the mutton-fat jade phoenix pendant around her cousin's waist and laughed.
Chu Xujun suddenly blushed and changed the subject: "Do you need to discuss this matter with your family?"
Hua Jin'er laughed so hard that the golden flowers in her head trembled: "Cousin, are you asking the wrong question now? Is the previous discussion just chatting and daydreaming?"
Xu Qingqing: "My father has never interfered, and I really like Chu's sister's iced drinks. Carrier pigeons are very interesting, and so is paper..."
Hua Jin'er looked at Xu Sanniang's expressionless "interesting" expression and thought that the guests would not believe her when she said something good to drink. But if Xu Sanniang threatened her like this, no one would dare not drink it.
"Where's Jin'er?"
"Brother Cheng said that he listens to me."
Chu Xujun: "You haven't married yet."
Hua Jin'er changed her mind: "The princess also listens to my cousin."
Only then did Chu Xujun remember that she had "cheated" the princess during the Dragon Boat Festival. With her "overlord"-like desire to control, the princess didn't come to see her?
I have to go back and ask my grandmother Hua Liancheng.
*********
Zhongzhou, west of the city.
The bright sun shines on the earthy earth, and black and red flags flutter.
The man in white is wearing armor today, which adds a bit of solemnity to his gentle face: "Brother Wei, stay here."
The man in black clothes put up a high bun and came to see his friend off with a red tassel on his back: "Brother Zhu, we say goodbye this time. I don't know when we will meet again."
Zhu Qi said quietly: "The troubled times are coming, and it may not be a good thing for you and me to meet brothers too soon."
The day they meet again will definitely be when the flames of war have spread across the Central Plains.
Sometimes Zhu Qi hopes that these things will end as soon as possible, and sometimes he hopes that they will never come.
Wei Ling invited Zhu Qi to sit in a pavilion aside: "Brother Zhu, please."
Zhu Qi understood what he wanted to ask: "Prince Zhen has never made things difficult for me. Even if he lets me go, he will not cause stumbling blocks on the road."
Wei Ling thought to himself that it was because of the "friendship" slowly established between Zhu Qi and the crown prince Zhao Xin when they were playing chess in the competition venue. New
When Prince Zhen saw that his precious son Zhao Xin and Wei Ling were drifting apart, he had a very happy conversation with Zhu Qi, so he stopped trying to embarrass Zhu Qi.
It was also his own family that made a fool of himself. Prince Zhen and Zhu Qi's bargaining chips were weak, and their alliance was actually just a smokescreen for people outside Zhongzhou.
Wei Ling: "Brother Zhu, what happened before..."
"Hey, there's no need to answer in a hurry. When you and the eldest lady of the Chu family have a banquet, you must send me a message. Even if I can't be there, I will definitely give you a generous gift."
"Then I will send Brother Zhu off first."
"Go back."
Zhu Qi turned around, wearing white armor and elegant demeanor.
