Jiang Yefeng simply packed up the package, and Wang Qiaolian, the daughter of shopkeeper Wang, sent him away. Wang Qiaolian didn't say much. She just told Jiang Yefeng to have a safe journey and turned around and entered the house. Jiang Yefeng was treated like a cousin by Qiaolian. Moved by the tenderness of a wife, I looked back several times and finally came to Meng Xinghe's side.
Due to time constraints, we had to rush back to Chang'an as soon as possible. There was nothing more to say. After a few people met, they immediately got on their horses and rushed to Dongdu. At the stations along the way, they changed horses three times. On the third day, they arrived in Dongdu early in the morning. All.
On the way, he had already told Jiang Yefeng the purpose of his trip. He found an inn in Dongdu and put the crazy girl there first. Meng Xinghe called Jiang Yefeng to visit the Bai family first.
Jiang Yefeng often comes to Dongdu to buy rouge, so he is naturally familiar with every boss who makes rouge and gouache here. However, the Bai family is a large business and generally looks down on smaller shops. Jiang Yefeng can only communicate with other people he knows. See Can you go to Bai's house to discuss business?
Boss Deng of Tianxiang Hall is a regular customer that Jiang Yefeng met in Dongdu. When he led Meng Xinghe and Shao Chai into Tianxiang Hall, an old man in his fifties came out to greet him happily, and then called the waiter to offer incense. Tea, said: "Boss Jiang, why did you just buy a lot of high-quality gouache from my store to Chang'an a few months ago, and now you are here to buy more. It seems that Chang'an is indeed a prosperous place, and Boss Jiang's business is probably getting worse and worse." Fire it,"
When businessmen meet, they just say a few compliments, congratulations on getting rich, etc. Jiang Yefeng and Boss Deng are acquaintances, so naturally he said without hesitation: "Boss Deng, to be honest, Ye Feng actually came here to ask for something."
"We've met each other, right?" Boss Deng immediately started arguing with Jiang Yefeng: "You and I have known each other for almost three years. We all know what kind of person the other person is, otherwise I, Deng, would not have made you a friend. If anything happens, as long as I can help, I will definitely help you."
Putting aside feelings, Jiang Yefeng purchases goods every time he goes east, almost always from Tianxiangtang. Based on this, it doesn't hurt to do a favor, but as a businessman, even if it is a small matter, he has to speak up and let him know. When others see his honesty, it does not increase others' credibility in him.
However, no matter what the reason was, Jiang Yefeng was already very satisfied that shopkeeper Deng could talk about this. He said, "I know that shopkeeper Deng has some business dealings with the Bai family, so Ye Feng was bold and wanted to invite Deng The shopkeeper will introduce Mr. Bai on my behalf. The young man behind me wants to negotiate a business deal with him."
"You want to meet Mr. Bai," shopkeeper Deng looked a little surprised, and then said with a smile: "Boss Jiang doesn't know something. Mr. Bai is old and not long ago handed over all the business of the Bai family to Miss Bai. If you want to To discuss business, I'm afraid I have to talk to Miss Bai,"
It had only been a few months since I had been to Dongdu, so I didn’t know that the dignified Bai family business had changed hands. Jiang Yefeng sighed and said, "How is the relationship between shopkeeper Deng and Miss Bai? Can we make an appointment to talk?"
Shopkeeper Deng looked a little embarrassed and said: "It's not easy to ask Miss Bai out. I heard that since Mr. Bai handed over all the businesses of the Bai family to this granddaughter, it is not easy for even the in-laws of the Bai family to see Bai. As a young lady, let alone the boss of a small Tianxiang Hall, this matter is difficult to handle."
Shopkeeper Deng gave Jiang Yefeng a difficult problem. Jiang Yefeng did not rush to answer. Instead, he looked back at Meng Xinghe to see how he would deal with it. Meng Xinghe thought for a moment and immediately took over Jiang Yefeng's right to speak and said: "Then Does Miss Bai usually have a place you like to go?"
These words made shopkeeper Deng immediately realize. Yes, why didn't I think of it? There is a rumor outside that Miss Bai likes to go to Marriage Lake. Maybe she can meet her. Shopkeeper Deng said with a smile: "There is a place where Miss Bai I go there once every fifteenth day of the month,”
I go there once a month. Why is this habit so bad? Meng Xinghe said a little disgusted: "Where?"
"Yunmengzhai, Marriage Lake,"
After getting the answer, Mr. Chai next to him said excitedly: "Isn't today the fifteenth day?"
He reminded her like this, and Meng Xinghe just counted the days. Today is indeed the fifteenth, what a coincidence. Meng Xinghe immediately turned around and said: "Second brother, you go back to the inn and wait, I will go to Marriage Lake first," before Mr. Chai could reply. , Meng Xinghe has already stepped out. The Marriage Lake is inside Yunmengzhai, where the little baby Mengdie’s magic gate is. We can’t let other people know. This is what Meng Xinghe first thought of, so he is so arbitrary and direct. Make a judgement.
As long as Meng Xinghe takes action, there is hope for anything. Mr. Chai felt relieved and went back to the inn with Jiang Yefeng without saying much to wait for the news.
Yunmengzhai is a place that is so familiar that it cannot be more familiar. A row of green willow trees in front of the door is like a woman wearing a green gauze skirt, politely welcoming every pilgrim who comes. The building like the Wild Goose Pagoda is like Bamboo shoots are springing up after the rain, bustling with people in the sky. Looking from a distance, it is dark and full of beautiful antique fragrance.
Meng Xinghe stood outside the door, lightly knocking on the slightly faded door, and soft murmurs came from inside.
"Who is it?" The voice was a little delicate, but like a newborn oriole, clear and loud.
Then, the door was pushed open at an angle, and a girl wearing a maroon short skirt, a golden silk scarf on her head, and a three-layered black hair fell vertically on her waist. With a pair of watery eyes, she looked at Meng Xinghe. , and immediately slammed the door shut.
"Who asked you to come to my Yunmengzhai again?"
He had never seen a woman who was so hospitable to guests. Meng Xinghe really wanted to kick the door open, but it was Mengdie's junior sister who was thinking about it inside. He took a breath, blushed and said: "Your sister asked me to come. Why, are you not convinced?"
"Yes, I just don't accept it. I can't stand your playful and smiling face, which makes my sister lack energy every day, and she doesn't think about food and drinks. She often yells to go to Chang'an to see you," the junior sister chattered behind the door: "You He is just a bad man with a heartless heart. Isn't it enough that he harmed my sister?"
Every time he met this junior sister, he would have unpleasant things happen with her. Meng Xinghe was too lazy to talk to her.
Raise your hand.
Push the door.
The door didn't move at all.
Hey, after a few months of seeing each other, this little girl's strength has become much stronger, and Meng Xinghe is working hard again.
Use force.
Work harder.
Meng Xinghe didn't expect that he just exerted a little force, but he didn't expect that a "嘤咛" cry suddenly came from behind the door. The junior sister was knocked to the ground by his brutal movement, and then with a clang, she pulled out the scimitar she was wearing. , looking at Meng Xinghe with an angry face.
"Why, are you still not convinced?" Meng Xinghe was not afraid. He felt that he did not need to be too tolerant in front of his junior sister, lest she would push her further.
The junior sister didn't say anything. The two little tiger teeth that were in her mouth like Mengdie were chattering. She raised her eyes and stared at Meng Xinghe's face. She felt that her smile looked fake and owed. He made several cuts on his face.
Meng Xinghe ignored this and walked around the little junior sister, casually walking inside. As he walked, he said: "Don't block my way. I will only treat those who don't accept it."
