Xing Xiyan: "Cooperation? My cousin-in-law wants to cooperate with me?"
Xiao Mingxuan: "Do you want to cooperate with him?"
"No way?"
Xing Xi said: "Okay."
Xiao Mingxuan: "No."
"Why?"
Luo Jiuli looked at Xiao Mingxuan.
"Yes! Cousin, why? I am your cousin, and you know me better than anyone else. Why don't you let your cousin cooperate with me?"
Xiao Mingxuan ignored Xing Xiyan, who was full of questions, and turned to look at Luo Jiuli.
"Your store has just started and is not on the right track yet. You have very few people on hand. If the store is too big, I'm afraid that you will be busy inside and outside and tire yourself out."
"What's more, this kid."
Xiao Mingxuan pointed at Xing Xiyan.
"Most of his properties are in Wuzhou, and he travels between the two places several times almost every year. Although he has a business mind, he is restless."
"If you cooperate with him, I'm afraid the final burden will be on your shoulders."
Xing Xiyan rolled his eyes in anger at his cousin, slapped his chopsticks on the table, and was full of charlatanism.
"Cousin, I finally know what it means to turn my elbow outward. Next time, next time, my cousin asks me to borrow money. Interest will be added. Interest must be added."
Luo Jiuli originally thought it was a bit funny, but when he heard about borrowing money plus interest, his eyes widened.
"Borrow money? Your cousin asked you to borrow money?"
Xiao Mingxuan's face darkened, and Xing Xiyan immediately felt that he had found a sense of presence. He stepped forward slightly and lowered his voice.
"Cousin-sister-in-law doesn't know that the country has been on war for many years and the treasury is empty. If you really have no money, it's impossible to have none at all, but you can't support your family's great business. Today there will be floods in the east, and tomorrow there will be drought in the west.
, every state and county reached out to ask for money from the imperial court--"
"Xing Xiyan, shut up for me."
Xiao Mingxuan interrupted him sharply.
Luo Jiuli glanced at him lightly.
"Does the prince think that if he is not allowed to tell me, I won't be able to guess?"
"When the cannon goes off, there are thousands of taels of gold. Fighting a war is equivalent to burning money. I believe that the emperor will allocate military pay in the early stages of the war, but as time goes by, people everywhere are asking for money."
"The emperor gave everyone money, but because the prince is the emperor's brother, he can only deduct money from the prince and let the prince figure out his own solution?"
Xiao Mingxuan was a little unhappy, but he didn't get angry. He lowered his head slightly and said:
"It was just once. After the military pay was allocated, it was already returned to him."
Xing Xiyan shrugged and smiled, opened his mouth, but was choked back by Xiao Mingxuan's glare.
Luo Jiuli also stopped talking.
She is not a courtier who lives in a temple and earns a salary, nor is she a general on the battlefield. She has no qualifications to comment on the decisions made by the court or the emperor.
"Shop Manager Xing, regarding cooperation, I think--"
Before Luo Jiuli finished speaking, he heard the sound of commotion coming from downstairs.
"What's going on?"
Outside the door, Qin Yin said:
"Go back to your lord, Miss Second, there is someone causing trouble downstairs."
"Someone is causing trouble? Why?"
Her restaurant has just opened. Although it is not very famous yet, everyone who knows it knows that it is the property of the Duke of Yiguo, with the support of the Ninth Prince behind it, and there is a sign from the Emperor hanging on the upper floor.
Who dares to cause trouble at this time?
"It's because a diner touched Chun Rong and was slapped by Chun Rong——"
Luo Jiuli's gentle expression suddenly turned gloomy, and he stood up to go out.
Before he could move, he heard someone downstairs near the window howling like a slaughtered pig.
Then I heard someone shouting, "There's a fight, there's a fight."
Xiao Mingxuan grabbed Luo Jiuli and said in a calm voice.
"You don't need to come forward for such a trivial matter."
On the side, Xing Xiyan smiled evilly, blew a loud whistle in response to the situation, then stood up slowly and walked to the window.
"Cousin, cousin, come over and watch the show."
Luo Jiuli: I really appreciate you two.
On the first day of opening, someone came to make trouble. As the shopkeeper, she did not come forward or say anything, and even stood by the window watching the show.
At this time, on the street downstairs by the window, a man in red was leaning against a man in a sky-blue brocade robe. Opposite the two, there were seven or eight servant-like people surrounding them, and two more
A young man in rich clothes was helped up from the ground. They all held sticks in their hands and looked at the two men in red with ferocious expressions.
Upstairs, Luo Jiuli saw the man in red.
"Is it him?"
"Your Majesty, I saw these two people at the scene where the porridge shed collapsed last time. It was the man in red who rescued Princess An's daughter Chen Xingluan and asked me for treatment."
Xiao Mingxuan slowly turned his head.
"You don't know him anymore?"
Luo Jiuli frowned and shook his head.
"No impression."
Xiao Mingxuan paused for a moment, then shook his head and smiled helplessly.
"Very good, this is good."
On the side, Xing Xiyan leaned against the window lattice, pointed at the man in red and said:
"Cousin, the one in red is called Mo Han, and the one in azure brocade is called Shen Yang. Both of them are my cousin's most profitable subordinates."
"Apart from Qin Yin, they are the ones my cousin trusts the most."
"However, these two people are rarely in the capital, so it's reasonable that my cousin doesn't know them."
"Mo Han? Shen Yang?"
Luo Jiuli's mind was flashing with lightning, and he suddenly remembered the warrior who killed two heads with one sword outside Prince Zhao's Mansion.
"Is it him?"
At the same time, the two handsome young men downstairs, relying on the support of someone behind them, breathed sweet fragrance to Mo Han and Shen Yang.
"Ha! There are really people who dare to come here without risking their lives."
"Then what is the relationship between the waiter and the little girl? I just touched her. It was so strong. It is her blessing to be touched by me, young master."
"On the other hand, you guys look unfamiliar, you're from outside."
"Gungungun, don't act like a hero here. People in the capital, you are small fish and shrimps. I can't afford to offend you. Get out of here."
Mo Han glanced at the two people disdainfully, and Shen Yang adjusted his sleeves casually.
"This kind of thing, I don't even bother to touch."
"Mo Han, I'm going to cook the meat first, hurry up."
Shen Yang said, patted Mo Han on the shoulder, and walked into the store.
When Mo Han heard this, he drew out the sword from his waist:
"Leave me a plate of brain meat. I like to eat meat that is both fat and thin."
As he spoke, the red figure slid quickly, and his flexible body was surprisingly fast. Almost instantly, in front of everyone, the originally arrogant and arrogant group of people did not even lift the sticks in their hands.
He was knocked to the ground by Mo Han alone.
Mo Han held a sword in his hand, pointed at one of the young masters, and scolded him sternly with a stern look on his face.
"Tell me, who asked you to come to the No. 1 Cauldron in the World to cause trouble?"
