My uncle is Zhu Di

Chapter 20: Fight if you say so
When Chen Tangjin saw Xu Qin, his eyes popped out, and he was shocked and scared.

When he saw Xiao Ningyue chasing after him with her skirt lifted up, Chen Tangjin wanted to run as far as possible. However, he only had two legs, and even if he ran, he could not outrun Xu Qin, not to mention that Xu Qin was riding a horse!
"Oh, are you eating here? Not bad, a meal here is not cheap!" Xu Qin looked up at the sign of Cuiyue Tower, then lowered his head and looked at Chen Tangjin with a smile!
"Shi, Sakyabao, you, you come to have dinner too, please come in, please come in, count, count, count it on me!" Chen Tangjin forced a smile and turned sideways, with expectation in his heart. Xu Qin came here to eat, not to find trouble with him!
"Snapped!"

"what!"

Without any warning, Xu Qin whipped Chen Tangjin in the face with a horsewhip. In an instant, Chen Tangjin's cheek was bleeding!
Xiao Ningyue at the back was stunned. Just like that? He just said a few words?

"Sakyabao, you, you!" Chen Tangjin covered his cheek with his hands, and blood flowed out from between his fingers!

"Snapped!"

Xu Qin whipped Chen Tangjin's hand again, which was covering his cheek, and his hand was instantly torn into pieces!

"Ah!" Chen Tangjin squatted down in pain!

"You've grown up and ignored my words? Today I asked her to come to my house to buy spindles? What? Do you have any objections?" Xu Qin asked while riding on his horse, staring at the young masters below.

"Don't dare!"

"I dare not, I dare not!"

Those people waved their hands quickly, saying that they dared not, but they had to distance themselves from the matter. Otherwise, Xu Qin's whip would not only hit Chen Tangjin.

Xiao Ningyue watched this scene in shock.

"Get up!" Xu Qin pointed at Chen Tangjin with a whip.

Chen Tangjin endured the severe pain and stood up tremblingly.

Xu Qin used a horsewhip to pick Chen Tangjin's chin, and Chen Tangjin could only raise his head.

Xu Qin said calmly: "You just said that the Xiao family couldn't sell a single piece of cloth?"

"Sakyabao, I was wrong, please let me go! I didn't know she was yours! If you knew, I wouldn't dare to do that even if you kill me!" Chen Tangjin said hurriedly, with fear in his eyes.

"Remember this, if the Xiao family has a piece of cloth that cannot be sold, you, Chen Tangjin, must buy it from me according to the market price. Do you remember?" Xu Qin said as he gently whipped Chen Tangjin with a whip.

"Remember, I'll never dare to do it again!" Chen Tangjin nodded repeatedly.

"You have no ability at all, but you have learned how to rob and plunder!" Xu Qin glanced at those young masters.

None of those people dared to look Xu Qin in the eye.

Chen Tangjin stood there, not daring to speak.

"Go back and tell your father to impeach me!" Xu Qin said to Chen Tangjin.

"I just fell down, it has nothing to do with others!" Chen Tangjin said immediately.

"Hmph! Go!" Xu Qin snorted coldly, clamped his legs around the horse's belly, and the horse immediately moved forward.

Xiao Ningyue finally came to her senses and hurriedly picked up her skirt to catch up. After walking for a while, she disappeared around the corner of the road.

Xiao Ningyue was sweating as she followed him. Xu Qin then stopped and said, "Go back. I'll send someone to find you in a while. I have something to discuss with you. I'll treat you to a meal then. Just run your business well!"

Xiao Ningyue immediately knelt down, kowtowed to Xu Qin, and cried, "Thank you for saving my life, Master Xu. If you need anything, I will be there for you at any time. I will go through fire and water for you without hesitation!"

"Well, no need. Just manage it well. That's it. I'm going home too! You should go back early. Go!" After Xu Qin finished speaking, he urged the horse to go away.

Xiao Ningyue didn't stand up until Xu Qin walked away, tears streaming down her face.

"Miss, it's okay, our family is okay!" The maid next to her said excitedly to Xiao Ningyue.

"Well, it's okay!" Xiao Ningyue said while crying, and then the two of them hugged each other and cried. The guards next to them also turned their heads and wiped their tears.

After a while, Xiao Ningyue vented her emotions, wiped away her tears, looked in the direction where Xu Qin disappeared, then got on the carriage and went home.

For the next seven or eight days, Xu Qin kept trying to dye cloth in the dyeing workshop. Those who were working in the workshop now were all descendants of his grandfather's personal soldiers or his father's personal soldiers, and they were trustworthy.

"Master, this cloth is so beautiful. With such a pretty pattern, it will probably cause a rush of buyers once it's put in a cloth shop for sale!" A middle-aged man said excitedly as he looked at the printed and dyed cloth.

The cloths printed and dyed by Xu Qin come in several colors, and all of them have exquisite patterns on them, making them look very high-end.

"Well, we have already trial-produced so many. We will start printing and dyeing with all our strength tomorrow!" Xu Qin said confidently, and then asked Shiyue to cut off a large piece of each cloth.

Wherever he went these days, either Shiyue or Mufeng followed him. They said it was the madam's orders.

Xu Qin was helpless, but when he thought about it, it was not bad to have them around. At least he didn't have to worry about food and drink.

After returning to the mansion, Xu Qin went to sleep. He was exhausted during this period. "Did the young master meet that Xiao Ningyue?" Mu Feng asked Shiyue while pulling her.

"No, it's so strange. It's been several days and I haven't seen the young master go to see Xiao Ningyue!" Shiyue shook her head and said in confusion.

"Did we make a mistake?" Mu Feng looked at Shiyue and asked with a frown.

"It's a mistake, so it is a mistake. Anyway, not everyone can become our young master's woman!" Shiyue said firmly.

"That's it!" Mu Feng nodded.

The next day, after Xu Qin finished his breakfast, he called Shiyue over.

"Young Master, aren't you going out today?" Shi Yue came in front of Xu Qin and asked.

"Well, go to the Xiao family's cloth shop and find Xiao Ningyue. Tell her that this young master has something to discuss with her at noon and would like to invite her to have dinner at Cuiyue Tower. By the way, ask the servants to book a private room at Cuiyue Tower!" Xu Qin sat there and instructed Shiyue.

"Ah?" Shiyue looked at Xu Qin in surprise.

Xu Qin was startled, looking at Shiyue in confusion, then pinched Shiyue's cheek and said viciously: "You damn girl, you scared your master. And why are you so surprised? What are you thinking about?"

"No, Master! It hurts!" Shiyue shouted immediately.

Xu Qin let go of his hand and continued staring at Shiyue.

Shiyue didn't dare to look at Xu Qin.

"Are you making up gossip about the young master? Huh? You two little girls, do you have nothing to do?" Xu Qin knew them very well. Even when they stood there without saying a word, Xu Qin could guess what they were thinking.

"No, Madam said that not every woman can marry into our Xu family! What's more, the young master hasn't been engaged yet. If he has an affair with a woman outside, especially a merchant's daughter, and the news gets out, how can the young master get engaged and marry a better girl?" Shi Yue said to Xu Qin angrily.

Xu Qin slapped his forehead helplessly, then pointed at Shiyue and said, "I was wondering why my mother let you start following me out. It turns out that you, a damn girl, were the one who told tales in front of my mother."

"Humph, I'm not telling tales, but a merchant girl is not worthy of the young master!" Shiyue said proudly.

When Xu Qin heard this, he stared at Shiyue fiercely. Shiyue was not afraid. They grew up together, so how could they not know what kind of person Xu Qin was?
"Can you use your brain? My aunt is the queen, can I marry a merchant girl?" Xu Qin said helplessly to Shiyue.

"Taking a concubine is not an option!" Shiyue continued.

Xu Qin stood up and slapped Shiyue's buttocks a few times, angrily: "You care about me taking a concubine? Huh? Who gave you the courage?!"

"It's just not possible. It's a disgrace to our Xu family!" Shiyue hid and said stubbornly.

"What door lintel? Well, what does taking a concubine have to do with the door lintel? Besides, what do you know, you dead girl? The Xiao family has many cloth shops. Don't you want to sell the cloth we printed and dyed yesterday? Are you going to keep it to make clothes for yourself?" Xu Qin hit Shiyue's buttocks a few more times.

"Oh, so that's the case, Master, why didn't you tell me earlier!" Shiyue heard it and realized that this was the case.

"Master, do I have to report everything to you? If you dare to do this again next time, I'll make you clean the toilet!" Xu Qin said viciously.

"Hehe, young master wouldn't do that!" Shiyue said and ran away immediately.

"Remember to ask someone to book the restaurant!" Xu Qin shouted from behind.

"Master, I dare not forget!" Shiyue's voice responded with a smile from outside.

At the Xiao family's cloth shop, the Xiao family's business is now slowly picking up. Many merchants who had cut off their spindles before have also come to them, but Xiao Ningyue always gives priority to buying from the Xu family. She will only buy from those merchants if the Xu family does not have enough!
At noon that day, Xiao Ningyue was counting the accounts in the workshop. The company had been making losses for the previous month, and things were only slowly getting better during this period!

"Miss, there's someone coming from the Xu Mansion outside. It's Shiyue from before!" A maid quickly walked into the room and said to Xiao Ningyue.

"Please come in! No, I'll go myself!" Xiao Ningyue said as she stood up immediately and walked quickly outside.

Shiyue looked around the workshop and found that there were many carriages coming in and out, and many people were working inside.

After a while, Xiao Ningyue was seen walking out quickly.

Shiyue saw Xiao Ningyue coming out, so she bowed and said, "Hello, Miss Xiao. Our young master invites you to Cuiyueju for lunch at noon. He has something to discuss. Is Miss Xiao free?"

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, sister Shiyue, come in, please, come in and have some tea!" When Xiao Ningyue heard that Xu Qin wanted to invite her to dinner, she nodded quickly and said yes, then warmly invited Shiyue to come in for some tea.

"No need for tea. There are still things to do in the mansion. The young master is still in the mansion and needs our service. Miss Xiao, please stay. I'll leave first!" Shiyue refused with a smile and saluted Xiao Ningyue.

"This, won't delay us for a while, right?" Xiao Ningyue was a little surprised and asked quickly.

"No, there are only two maids in our young master's courtyard, and there is still a lot to do. I won't disturb you anymore. Goodbye!" Shiyue said as she got on the carriage and went home.

After Shiyue walked away, the maid behind her said, "The servants of wealthy families are all so polite! But they are also arrogant!"
