Nian Zheng clasped his fists: "I really didn't think of this, but after my mother said this, I think it's just what I want."
Boss Nian was stunned, put down the jade unicorn in his hand, and looked at Nian Zheng with a frown: "What do you mean?"
"Hasn't mother ever thought of letting me marry Dong Chen's family?"
Nian Zheng looked at Boss Nian openly.
Boss Nian smiled: "It seems that you are interested in Chen Dongjia, but Chen Dongjia is not willing."
"Women like Mr. Chen's family are rare in the world. They are both top-notch in appearance and courage. My son likes such upright women and does not like those delicate young ladies."
Nian Zheng's slightly childish face showed a determined look.
Boss Nian looked at him straightly: "Chen Dong's family is a widow among the people of Yongzhou. You don't know that, right?"
"My son knows that because of this, not many people will discover the extraordinary qualities of Chen Dongjia. Rumors are the most terrifying thing. Before meeting Chen Dongjia, my son would not dare to easily identify with someone."
"But my son has met Chen Dongjia. She is indeed the one he likes as his mother said."
Boss Nian had helped Nian Zheng Xiang look down on the daughters of various families before, but every time he was either dissatisfied or Nian Zheng looked down upon him.
It took a lot of effort to find a Chen Jinjun that I was satisfied with and that my son also liked. However, Chen Jinjun was really a business-focused person and didn't care at all about relationships.
Boss Nian sighed.
Nian Zheng was very energetic: "I think that if the Chen Dong family agreed to me easily, my son would feel that this is not the Chen Dong family in his heart."
"Then what are you going to do."
Although Boss Nian had no hope for this, looking at Nian Zheng's high-spirited appearance, she couldn't help but hope in her heart that Nian Zheng would be able to pursue Chen Jinjun.
"My fair lady, a gentleman is so kind." Nian Zheng looked at Boss Nian with firm eyes.
"really?"
"Seriously." Nian Zheng nodded seriously.
Boss Nian thought for a while and said, "This is a matter between you young people. As an old woman, I won't interfere."
She got up and prepared to go back to the back room to rest. Halfway through, she turned around and said to Nian Zheng, "It's just that you have to be careful and don't ruin this cooperation with Dong Chen's family. Do you understand?"
"My son knows it well." Nian Zheng knew that Boss Nian attached great importance to this cooperation with Chen Jinjun, not to mention that this matter related to refugees, so he would naturally know how to handle it.
He delivered the supplies and immediately ordered his entourage to pick out gifts.
The shopkeepers at Chen Jinjun's side discussed whether to go.
Regarding this matter, Shen Xiaoxiao was the first to disagree: "How could he not know what day the Lantern Festival is? Wouldn't such an obvious goal ruin the reputation of our employer?"
On the side, shopkeeper Ning didn't think so much: "What if you don't think so much? Not everyone cares about life so much. Yongzhou is not the capital, so how can you pay so much attention to it?"
Shen Xiaoxiao narrowed his fox eyes and looked at Shopkeeper Ning displeasedly: "Maybe that's what he had in mind. He must be on guard against others. Where have you read all your books?"
"Stop arguing." Chen Jinjun rubbed his brows, "It's the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."
"My boss?" Shen Xiaoxiao looked at her in disbelief.
Chen Jinjun smiled freely: "Where did I, Chen Jinjun, get my reputation in Yongzhou?"
Shen Xiaoxiao opened her mouth but said nothing.
Yu Ce touched the stubble on his chin: "At worst, we will go with my boss. It happens to be the Lantern Festival, so Su Niang and I will go out for a walk."
"As for now, I still think we should study which piece of land to choose." As he said that, Yu Ce took out the layout plan of Yongzhou City and spread it out on the table.
Chen Jinjun glanced at the picture and said: "Lihua Street in the south of the city."
When everyone found this place, they all looked at Chen Jinjun in shock.
"My boss...this land is not suitable." Nie Shi frowned as he looked at such a remote place.
"Why is it inappropriate?"
Chen Jinjun didn't think there was anything wrong with her choice. On the contrary, she had taken a fancy to the potential of that area early on.
"It's too far away. Although it's empty, it's too far from the official road." Yu Ce looked at the surrounding environment and analyzed.
“What I like is that it’s far away and remote, so it’s cheap.”
Chen Jinjun tapped his fingertips on the table, looking confident.
"When the materials to build the theater cannot be supplied, won't the construction period be delayed again?" Wu Jiang also came over and looked at the remote wasteland on the map.
"I think this place is interesting." Shen Xiaoxiao runs a brothel, so she can naturally understand Chen Jinjun's intention of opening a brothel here.
Chen Jinjun nodded: "That's what Shopkeeper Shen said."
Shen Xiaoxiao pointed to the dilapidated houses around the open space: "This place is naturally not as prosperous as the center of Yongzhou City, but if the theater is closer to the center of the city, the guests will be lured away by other places. On the contrary, this kind of place can All the surrounding areas have been turned into their own stores, which means that the wealth does not go to outsiders. The owner not only makes money from the money spent by the people here, but also makes money from other merchants' rents."
She then pointed to the thin path above: "Besides, the width of this road can be changed. If it is planned properly, for me, I would just skip the road and build a big garden, which would be even more exquisite."
Chen Jinjun nodded and looked at Yu Ce: "Shopkeeper Shen is right. Do you have any questions?"
"I was overestimating it. After all, the theater building is not as popular as Liangpu Buzhuang." Yu Ce smiled and shook his head.
At this time, Xu Fanming walked in.
"Dong Chen's family, why are you looking for me?"
Chen Jinjun waved his hand, and the shopkeepers all left, leaving the hall to Chen Jinjun and Xu Fanming.
"I went to the police station today." Chen Jinjun touched the silk-like hair of Yuanbao and looked at Xu Fanming.
Xu Fanming saw the kitten on the table and was stunned for a moment.
"You've seen him." It was an affirmative tone.
Xu Fanming and Chen Jinjun sat facing each other, looking at Chen Jinjun's ingot: "He gave it to you?"
Chen Jinjun nodded: "You are right, Du Yu is Du Yu, Du Yu, the chief executioner of the Qinghonghui Punishment Hall."
I don't know why, although Xu Fanming already had a premonition in his heart, when he heard Chen Jinjun say it, his heart still trembled.
"Is he... okay?" Xu Fanming asked tentatively.
"Very good, how could it be bad?" Chen Jinjun looked at Xu Fanming with concern.
Xu Fanming lowered his head, smiled and shook his head: "That's good, that's good."
His muttering voice fell on Chen Jinjun's ears, and for a moment, she seemed to see the stubborn young man back then, who didn't believe his master's criticism of his bad character.
"He wants to see you."
Xu Fanming suddenly raised his head and looked at Chen Jinjun: "What did you say?"
Chen Jinjun didn't mind repeating it again: "He wants to see you at dawn on the 15th day of the first lunar month at Wangji Temple in the south of the city."
"Really?" Xu Fanming's triangular eyes widened and looked particularly bright.
Just like...just like an abandoned puppy seeing its owner, with anticipation and temptation.
Chen Jinjun nodded: "I have no reason to lie to you."
Xu Fanming clenched his fists and then loosened them angrily: "After all these years, it's time for me to give an explanation."
Chen Jinjun did not answer the conversation and concentrated on teasing Yuan Bao.
Xu Fanming felt a surge of air rising in his heart, making him feel depressed.
