Lu Xiaowan's shock was unexpected by Su Qi'an.

Su Qi'an looked at Lu Xiaowan seriously and said, "Miss Xiaowan, don't worry too much. Su redeemed you not to covet your beauty, but to take a fancy to your ability."

Lu Xiaowan was a little confused.

"To be precise, it is Miss Xiaowan's method. This method is suitable for doing business. I am dissatisfied with Miss Xiaowan. This time Su came to the county to establish a foothold in Sichuandu County."

"If you want to gain a foothold in Sichuan County, money is indispensable. Su wants to hire Miss Xiaowan to be the shopkeeper of Qinji Cloth Shop in Sichuan County."

Lu Xiaowan was stunned. It was not that he thought Su Qian had the ability to set up a cloth shop, but he hired her as the shopkeeper.

In Daliang, it is absolutely impossible for women to participate in any industry.

It is believed that women from Daliang stay at home and take care of their husbands and children, and if they show their faces in public, they will be looked down upon.

Before the Lu family was confiscated, Lu Xiaowan was very interested in doing business. However, due to the customs of the Great Liang, Lu Xiaowan could only study secretly.

Later, when the Lu family was confiscated and Lu Xiaowan became an official prostitute, this idea of ​​doing business was put aside.

Su Qian's sudden words today, how could Lu Xiaowan not be shocked.

In Daliang, where men are superior to women, Su Qi'an had to bear a lot of pressure if he dared to do this.

Lu Xiaowan looked at Su Qi'an carefully. This was the first time she realized that the great talent from Lingbei in front of her was really different from the others.

Lu Xiaowan's silence made Su Qian subconsciously feel that what she just said was a bit abrupt.

After all, in a feudal society like Great Liang, Lu Xiaowan really had to bear a lot of pressure to show up and become the first female shopkeeper in history.

Su Qi'an said quickly, "Miss Xiaowan, Su is impatient about this matter. I'm sorry. If Miss Xiaowan doesn't want to, forget it. It doesn't matter."

Lu Xiaowan shook her head and said, "Mr. Su has misunderstood. It is Xiaowan's blessing that he loves Xiaowan so much. Xiaowan can do things for him, but please think twice about redeeming yourself."

Su Qi'an was not stupid, so he naturally understood the meaning of Lu Xiaowan's words.

Lu Xiaowan is the number one in Chunfeng Academy, and it is the number one conference in half a month. Regardless of whether Lu Xiaowan can become the number one, Lu Xiaowan's reputation will not be low.

For a profit-seeking businessman like Chunfeng Yuan, if Su Qian wanted to redeem Lu Xiaowan, even if Su Qi'an committed bloodletting, he might not be able to do so.

This is Lu Xiaowan's inner worry.

Su Qian nodded and said with a smile, "Miss Xiaowan, I just want to ask you something, can you trust Su?"

"That's natural."

"Okay, in that case, I'll leave this matter to Su. Miss Xiaowan is waiting for good news."

Lu Xiaowan nodded. She didn't understand where Su Qian's confidence came from, but what Su Qian just said really made Lu Xiaowan's heart beat.

The look in Su Qi'an's eyes was less charming and more gentle.

Instantly, the air was filled with a special atmosphere, which made people feel heady.

Unconsciously, Su Qian's body leaned forward slightly, moving closer to Lu Xiaowan.

Lu Xiaowan closed her eyes subconsciously, and as the two of them got closer and closer, Su Qian suddenly woke up.

After coughing a few times to relieve some of his embarrassment, Su Qian stood up and said to Lu Xiaowan.

"Um...Miss Xiaowan, now that the matter has been settled, Su will leave. If you have anything to do in the future, please let me know."

After saying that, Su Qian held the offering hand and turned to leave.

Lu Xiaowan was startled at first when he saw that look, and then he covered his mouth and laughed.

"This Mr. Su is still as interesting as before."

…

Not long after Su Qian left the room, the bustard who had disappeared appeared out of nowhere.

Looking at Su Qi'an with a smile on his face, he joked, "Ah, Mr. Su came out so quickly. As expected of Mr. Su, if it had been anyone else, half an hour wouldn't have been enough."

"Mr. Su is indeed a gentleman, and I admire him as a madam."

Su Qi'an didn't even look at the old madam, and said calmly, "Su has something to do, so leave first. If you have nothing to do, you don't need to follow me. Say goodbye."

Su Qi'an was very decisive. After saying this, he left quickly without any intention of quarreling with the madam.

There are a few good people who can make it to the head office. If they stay here any longer, one of their words may fall into the trap.

It’s better to deal less with this kind of people.

"Mr. Su, it's easy to go. If you have time, you can send a message at any time. Madam, I will definitely prepare the time in advance so that Miss Xiaowan can accompany you."

The Madam didn't care at all about Su Qi'an's cold face. After sending Su Qi'an away with a smile, the smile at the corner of her mouth raised a slight arc.

After saying hello, a turtle man came forward quickly. The old bustard whispered something, and soon, the turtle man left quickly.

Su Qi'an left Chunfengyuan, shook his head, breathed in the fresh air, and his mind became clearer.

After getting on the carriage, I didn't intend to go shopping and went straight back to the inn.

In the inn where they stayed, Ye Chong and Su Yong were waiting in the room early. As for Shou Hou, he went to inquire about the news and wouldn't be able to come back for a while.

Seeing Su Qi'an come back, Ye Zhong joked, "Haha, Brother Su, you are really a gentleman. It only took you half an hour to get back and forth in a total of half an hour. Tsk, tsk, tsk, this kind of magnanimity, I really need to learn from my stupid brother.

"

Su Qi'an shook his head and said, "Ye Chong, I just came back, and I'm just working on my front and back. You know everything. Your news is really fast."

"Hum, this is not because I am well-informed. I'm afraid Brother Su doesn't know yet. The poems written by Brother Su in Chunfeng Yuan have already been released."

"It won't be long before Brother Su's name will be spread throughout the county and city."

"Brother Su is really envious of me. Not to mention anything else, just his amazing talent in poetry. To put it bluntly, as long as Brother Su is willing, even those girls in Kyoto will have to fawn over each other if they want to be with Brother Su.

It’s a spring night.”

Su Qian curled her lips at Ye Chong's teasing, and was about to end this boring topic. Suddenly, his expression changed, as if he realized something.

He said to Ye Chong, "Wait a minute, Ye Chong, what did you just say?"

"I said that with Brother Su's talent in poetry, even the girls in Kyoto want to have sex with you. What's wrong, Brother Su, is there anything wrong with that?"

Ye Zhong was puzzled. There was nothing wrong with what he said. He didn't know what he said wrong, which made Su Qian's expression become a little solemn.

Su Qian's eyes flashed, and after a moment of silence, he spoke.

"I think we must have fallen into a trap."

"Use a trap? What trap?" Su Qian's words made Ye Zhong even more puzzled.

"Knowing Wei Yun and Zhou Jie, would they endure the tone just now and turn around and leave?"

"Isn't it because you are afraid of Chunfengyuan? Wait, does Brother Su mean that Chunfengyuan's appearance is just a show, just to deliberately let Brother Su show up?"

Although Ye Chong was a playboy, he was able to pass the examination and his brain was not bad. When Su Qian nudged him, he understood it instantly.

Su Qi'an nodded, "Yes, if I guess correctly, Wei Yun and the others have known our every move since we left the inn and entered Chunfeng Courtyard."

"The subsequent conflict over the poetry writing, Zhou Jie's anger, Chunfengyuan's appearance, and finally my appearance and the reunion with Miss Xiaowan were all arranged."

"They do this in order to use Brother Su's talent to increase Miss Xiaowan's winning rate in the top tournament."

"With Brother Su's push, Xiaowan's reputation may have truly reached its peak. Damn it, these people are so scheming."

Ye Chong came back to his senses, his face looking very ugly.

It wasn't because Lu Xiaowan sent another poem out of anger, but because Chunfeng Yuan was trying to raise Lu Xiaowan's reputation by playing tricks with the Zhou and Wei families, presumably to lure Su Qi'an into a trap.

We can get the Zhou and Wei families to cooperate with Chunfeng Yuan, and the two families will pay a lot of money.

Once Lu Xiaowan wins the championship and is sent to the state capital, the reward will be huge.

As for Su Qi'an and Lu Xiaowan, they were the pawns being used. Anyone else would be unable to conceal their anger.

"Brother Su, they are so abominable. Brother Yu just brought people to destroy their place. Taking advantage of the power of the county, they really think we are easy to bully."

Su Qi'an shook his head and stopped the angry Ye Zhong, "They are now eager for you to go over and cause trouble. If you really go, what is reasonable will become unreasonable."

"Then... let's forget it like this? I can't swallow this breath."

"Forget it? Haha, I, Su Qian, am not the kind of person who forgets. Originally, I couldn't find a reason to deal with them. Now that the calculation is on me, you can't blame me."

"Don't they want to increase the winning rate of the top conference? Then add some fire to them and make this top conference more lively."

"Brother Su, what do you mean..."

Su Qi'an pretended to smile mysteriously.

Less than a day after Su Qi'an returned to the inn, it was just as Su Qi'an imagined.

Chunfeng Yuan not only spread the new poems Su Qi'an wrote for Lu Xiaowan that day, but also made Lu Xiaowan's name even more famous.

Immediately afterwards, some gossip about Su Qi'an's intention to redeem Lu Xiaowan's life suddenly appeared in the county town.

For a time, the entire county was talking about this matter, because this matter, along with Chunfengyuan's reputation, became much louder.

Wanting to take advantage of this opportunity to meet Lu Xiaowan, the young masters and even some big shots from the county and town came in droves.

Chunfengyuan also does business, except that Lu Xiaowan cannot accept guests to accompany him at night, and other services, such as close-up seats to watch, accompanying wine, and chatting, are clearly priced.

It's just that this price is several times higher than before, and the lowest close-range seats start at 500 taels.

Not to mention drinking and chatting with each other, the minimum is two thousand taels, and the highest is even more than ten thousand.

Such ridiculously high prices are placed in small brothels, and girls can choose at will.

But here at Chunfengyuan, you can just look at it, not even touch it.

But even so, it attracted a large number of curious young masters to go there.

There is no other reason. Su Qi'an's talent is too great. Each of these songs he has made has reached the point of becoming a god.

In addition, it was rumored that Lu Xiaowan would probably be ransomed by Su Qian after the top conference. This kind of momentum was the reason why these young masters flocked to her.

They were not as talented as Su Qi'an, but they were rich. When they came to the scene and saw Lu Xiaowan's weakness, even if Lu Xiaowan was ransomed, they could not point fingers and take advantage before.
