As soon as Chen Siwu blurted out these words, Xie Xian immediately stared.

Not far away, I saw a tall and handsome young man, holding the maid in his arms and teasingly entering.

The other hand was holding a fan, fanning it constantly, and there was a poem written on the fan.

He doesn't look like a businessman, but looks like a scholar.

This person was one of the people on the original investigation list.

Haiyuan City, Du Lingfeng!

"Shopkeeper Chen, please check it out for me. Is this person sure to be the salt dealer you met earlier, who was trading with Shopkeeper Sun's family?"

Chen Siwu stopped eating at this time and looked at Du Lingfeng with squinted eyes.

"It's true! I'm very impressed by him!"

"The Sun family's housekeeper has never been so polite to anyone, it must be him!"

Xie Xian nodded solemnly: "Well, okay! You can eat first, and you don't have to worry about the rest. Any expenses that others mention will be recorded in my account."

After that, he stood up and walked towards Du Lingfeng.

Xie Xian did not hesitate, walked directly in front of Du Lingfeng, and bowed his hands.

Du Lingfeng, who was still hugging the maid and teasing her, was suddenly stunned when he saw someone coming to offer his hand.

He asked doubtfully: "What does this brother do for you?"

"I am Xie Xian, the manager of Fenghua Tower."

Du Lingfeng looked him up and down and recalled briefly.

He had memories of Xie Xian. Although he had never seen him in person, he had heard about it as a frequent visitor to Fenghua Building.

What does he want to do when he suddenly comes to see me?

Du Lingfeng became a little wary, pushed away the maid in his arms, and returned to Xie Xian: "It turns out to be the shopkeeper Xie, whom I have admired for a long time! A certain Du Lingfeng."

"I wonder what Mr. Xie is doing?"

Xie Xian smiled slightly: "Brother Du, don't worry too much, Xie has no other intentions."

"I just heard that Brother Du is a frequent visitor to our Fenghua Building, but I heard from the waiter that he has never been a member here, so I wanted to ask Brother Du, is there anything wrong with our Fenghua Building's poor hospitality?"

Du Lingfeng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, smiled and said: "That's it!"

"Thank you, shopkeeper, for worrying too much! Fenghua Building is really an eye-opener for Du! It can be said that you feel at home, and there is nothing dissatisfied about it."

"It's just that I'm not from Jianjiang, so I won't stay here for a long time. I might leave after a while."

Xie Xian lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said with regret, "So that's the case. It's a pity that Brother Du can't stay in Jianjiang for a long time."

"I see how Brother Du is dressed. Could it be that he is a scholar? There are very few scholars coming to Fenghua Building."

Although Fenghua Tower is a romantic place, the cost is too high and few scholars come here.

Ordinary scholars cannot afford to spend money, and those with official status dare not come. Those with backgrounds are also very cautious because of the new officials taking office.

Speaking of scholars, Du Lingfeng's face clearly showed a hint of pride.

"Haha, thank you shopkeeper for being so polite. Mr. Du is just a down-and-out scholar, and now he just does some leather goods business."

He is really a scholar! He actually went into business, which is rare!

A trace of disappointment flashed across Xie Xian's face: "Oh, I see, then I won't bother Brother Du anymore."

Seeing his expression, Du Lingfeng suddenly felt his pride stung, and called out to Xie Xian who had already turned around.

He said with a slight displeasure: "Thank you, shopkeeper, what do you mean?"

Xie Xian turned around and smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I am actually Jinghe's eighth-year candidate. I just saw that Brother Du has a scholarly temperament, so I couldn't help but come up and talk to him."

"But I personally heard that Brother Du is a scholar and a businessman... but Xie is rude."

"We are both fallen people at the end of the world, so why should we know each other before when we meet?"

Du Lingfeng was stunned by the bitterness on Xie Xian's face, and murmured: "We are both fallen people at the end of the world, why should we have known each other before we meet... What a poem, what a poem..."

Shopkeeper Xie is a man with a lot of stories!

Who can know the pain in the heart of this scholar who became a businessman?

Not only was he looked down upon by other scholars, but he was also looked down upon by other businessmen. It can be said that he was unable to integrate into both sides.

Now the shopkeeper Xie in front of me is actually the same kind of person as myself, and he is also a Juren!

That’s really strange!

Xie Xian turned around to leave again. Du Lingfeng quickly grabbed Xie Xian and said hurriedly: "Brother Xie, please stay! Brother Xie is so talented! Can we talk to you next time?"

Xie Xian turned around and looked at him again, nodding hesitantly.

He immediately found a seat nearby and sat down. Du Lingfeng immediately sat across from him and asked without hesitation: "Brother Xie, since you are a Juren, why are you doing business here?"

Xie Xian closed his eyes, shook his head slightly, and recalled painfully: "I'm not afraid of Brother Du's jokes. Although I was a civil servant, my family was poor since I was a child, and I was bullied by the squire. I thought that if I passed the exam, I would be able to stand up, but I didn't expect that in the squire's family

There are also strong men. With nowhere to go, they came to Jianjiang and started business. People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can’t help themselves! Alas~"

Huh? Well said, very well said!

Du Lingfeng sighed: "Brother Xie, it really makes me feel the same when you say it. People in the world can't help themselves. This is really a good word!"

"But I'm different from Brother Xie. I really can't pass the exam...but I want to be rich and powerful, so I can only become a merchant."

"The song you just made, is there a complete song by the same person who has fallen from the world?"

"With all due respect, it would be a pity to do business with Brother Xie's poetic talent!"

"If this poem in its entirety can be spread, it will definitely be famous all over the world!"

How the hell do I know what the whole story is about? I just heard it from my master!

My poems are written line by line, and I don’t know where they were copied from.

Just copy it, I don’t know how to copy it completely!

It can be seen that I haven’t done well in studying since I was a child. I asked him twice how much he paid for Jinshi and he didn’t tell me...

Ask again when you get back!

Xie Xian was grumbling in his heart, but also had to deal with Du Lingfeng: "To be honest, Xie just met his old friend by chance at the beginning. He had a feeling after drinking and had a flash of inspiration. After he sobered up, it was difficult to continue, so...

That’s all it says.”

Du Lingfeng immediately regretted: "So that's the case, that's such a pity."

"I didn't expect that there are people in Jianjiang City who are in the same situation as me. It's a blessing to see Brother Xie today."

"But Brother Xie is a civil servant, I am just a small show..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xie Xian glared: "Brother Du! You and I are both degenerates, do we still need to talk about superiority and inferiority?"

"Things from my early years have long since disappeared as far as I'm concerned... Since I'm meeting Brother Du today, why don't you let me be the host and let's have a chat?"

Du Lingfeng blinked, a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, shopkeeper Xie is still a sweetheart!

He patted the table and said cheerfully: "Okay! It's a blessing to see Brother Xie today, but it's not appropriate for Brother Xie to be the host. Why don't I be the host?"

Xie Xian smiled: "Brother Du, have you forgotten? This Fenghua Tower is all done by Xie, so there is no reason for you to spend money!"

"Here comes someone! Bring some good wine and good food!"
