I was Idle and Cool

Compared with the capital, Baoding is really a small place.

Lu Jinxi's group of 20 young people is nothing in the capital, but when they reach this realm, they are somewhat eye-catching.

Fortunately, it was too late to enter the city, there were not many people, and it did not attract too many people's attention.

The inn that He Xing wanted to stay in was sent by He Xing early in the morning to send two brothers to the outpost, and they searched for them in the city first, so as soon as they arrived, they went straight in.

One room was given to Lu Jinxi.

Except for Qing Que, who was serving in Lu Jinxi's room, everyone else was in two rooms, just in case there was an accident that could not be taken care of.

It has been exhausting for the past few days, and after taking a rest on the first day, he has to leave the next day. Now that he has finally arrived in Baoding, Lu Jinxi has finally made up his mind.

It's just that she is not in a hurry to go to Sheng Longchang to talk about things.

After dinner that night, he directly asked Qingque and the shopkeeper to inquire about the situation of Shenglongchang in the city, and explained to He Xing that he would send a few people to see Shenglongchang in the morning, and then he stopped.

After all, Mrs. Lu was seriously ill at the beginning, and her health was not very good. These days, Lu Jinxi couldn't bear it very much. She fell asleep almost as soon as her head touched the pillow.

This sleep is the next day at noon.

When she opened her eyes to look, the window was already white.

"Why didn't you wake me up?"

Lu Jinxi blinked and got used to it, only to realize that Qing Que had noticed it and came over to her.

So I stood up and asked a question.

Qing Que had already washed up, she hurriedly came to help her, and only smiled: "My servant sees that you are very tired these days, and you said last night that since you are in Baoding, things are not in a hurry. So I want you to sleep well, I didn't call you in time."

This is true.

It feels good to sleep until you wake up naturally.

Lu Jinxi's body was a little sore, so Qing Que pinched herself before getting up and getting out of bed. After that, I got dressed and washed, and ate breakfast and lunch in the room, and finally got up in spirit.

"Yesterday you said you wanted to send a few people from He Xing's side to investigate. He was going to come back and forth about an hour ago, but you were still asleep at the time. Do you want to call him over now and report the situation to you?"

Qingque cleaned up the cup and plate and asked her.

Lu Jinxi thought for a while, then shook his head: "You don't have to ask him to come over, the weather is good today, ask him to come out, go to the street and accompany me to have a look, and talk as we go."

"Yes."

Qingque also felt that this matter should be taken so carefully, for fear that Lu Jinxi could not see enough and could not find out.

After all, although my wife didn't say it, she can guess that the capital of this business must be her own money.

Lu Jin tidied up his cuffs and walked out.

The bluebird followed behind him.

They lived on the second floor, and downstairs was the lobby of the inn. When it was time to eat at noon, although there were not many people, there were quite a few.

This kind of place is not particularly big when it is said to be big, and it is not particularly small when it is said to be small. People who live there can recognize a familiar face, and a new face is very abrupt here.

Not to mention, two women.

Especially among them, Lu Jinxi, even if the dress is changed to a more common one, it can't hide her beauty and slender figure.

Talent came down from the upstairs, and the lobby was silent.

Drinkers, meat eaters, all stopped.

In such a place, where can you see such a good-looking and extravagant woman? Looked dumbfounded for a while.

He Xing was eating below with a few brothers, and he didn't expect Lu Jinxi to come down like this. After reacting, he frowned, put his chopsticks down, and walked over quickly.

"lady……"

"Have you eaten yet?"

Lu Jinxi didn't care about the gazes of others, glanced at it, and asked He Xing directly.

She didn't explain too many things, He Xing didn't do much work in the morning, and he wasn't a rice bucket, so he was full early after eating, and when he heard what she said, he knew something was wrong, so he said: "Have eaten, what are you? "

"That's good, let's go out for a walk with me."

Without stopping, Lu Jinxi walked out of the inn and stood on the street outside.

Bustling, people come and go.

Compared to when they came here yesterday, it was a lot more lively.

Diagonally opposite this inn is another restaurant. There are large and small shops along the street, and willows are planted on both sides of the road. At this time, the catkins had already drifted past faintly, and thousands of emerald green silk sashes fell down, but it was very beautiful.

He Xing followed, and also looked around, saying: "The subordinates around here have already turned around, and Sheng Longchang turned right at the front of the street seven or eighty steps. I sent someone to check it out this morning, and the business is still open. However, the delivery time came before dawn, and the goods were removed early in the morning when the goods were purchased. But they counted, and there were no more than ten people who went back and forth, and the volume of goods was not large. Leather and herbal materials. Business is good or bad, but not bad."

This is not the same as what Lu Jinxi expected.

She nodded, and as she walked forward, she continued to ask, "Their boss should already be here, right?"

"I've also inquired about it, and it was already in Baoding two days ago." He Xing slowed down, followed behind her, and paid attention to the surrounding situation, "But he's not the only one who came to Baoding these days."

"Not just him?"

Lu Jinxi was a little surprised.

He Xingdao: "I only heard about it today. Baoding will soon have a second Shenglongchang. You don't believe it is such a coincidence. After Second Master Sheng arrived here, Master Sheng also arrived. There are rumors. Said, the eldest man is going to build a semicolon in Baoding, isn't it a hit? There are still some disputes."

"Second Master Sheng" refers to Sheng Xuan, who inherited the family of Shenglongchang, Shaanxi;

Judging from the current situation, the uncle Sheng Hong is naturally much better than the second master Sheng Xuan.

If judged purely from a commercial perspective, at least according to the superficial situation, Sheng Hong should be better than Sheng Xuan.

But Lu Jinxi remembered what Gu Juefei said.

In terms of results, anyone can be a hero.

But things are changing rapidly in the business world, and not all winners have the talent to match their achievements, and not all losers are useless.

There must be a reason for the second master Sheng Xuan to be favored by Gu Juefei, who is very angry.

So hearing He Xing's words at this moment, Lu Jinxi frowned slightly, pondered for a while, and then laughed: "For me, this is not a bad thing, maybe it is a good thing. Let's go to Shengsheng first. Longchang take a look at the situation of the company."

"Yes."

He Xing said what he should have said, and he didn't understand more, so he just followed Lu Jinxi silently.

Lu Jinxi said that he was going to Shenglongchang, but he was not in a hurry.

Passing by some shops along the way, I will also walk in and see, and occasionally ask for prices, chat with the second or the shopkeeper, but do not buy anything.

He Xing didn't know what he and she were doing at first, but if three or five families came down, he could see the depth.

This is to measure the market conditions of the shops in Baoding and the price of the goods.

In all fairness, if He Xing were to do business on his own, he would definitely be the same as Lu Jinxi. This is not something that ordinary people can't think of, and there is nothing clever about it.

But Lu Jinxi did it...

It's an understatement, and it doesn't make any sense at all.

I don't know if it's because she is so good-looking and has a kind expression. After three or two clichés, others will tell her everything.

This He Xing can't do it.

Not long after being with Lu Jinxi, he felt that he had opened his eyes.

When he came out of the ninth shop, his face was a little more thoughtful.

When Lu Jinxi saw it, he asked, "What, is there something wrong?"

"No, it's not." He Xing hurriedly denied it, but seeing Lu Jinxi's gaze was a little strange, he replied in an uncertain tone, "It's just that I suddenly feel that you are very similar to the eldest son."

"picture?"

Lu Jinxi raised an eyebrow.

He Xing didn't know how to describe the feeling in his heart, he really thought about it for a while before opening his mouth: "It's just like. I can't describe the feeling, anyway, it's very powerful. I feel that if you were the one I met back then, you could also Three or two sentences settled our group of people."

This is not true.

Lu Jinxi laughed: "Master Gu was able to deal with you at the beginning, saying that he was able to speak well, but in the final analysis, you still have good intentions in your heart. Even if I deal with you, it is not me who is so good. But you It's not wrong to say that I'm very similar to Gu Juefei."

What is "not wrong"?

Do you mean right?

He Xing was a little confused when he heard this.

Confused, he was about to ask, but Lu Jinxi had already stopped and pointed to the high plaque not far in front of him: "The one in front is Sheng Longchang, right?"

"...Yes." He Xing was stunned for a moment, then looked in the direction of her finger, and then said, "This is the place, the place is quite big, I think it was left by the old owner. You have to go in directly. Have a look?"

Three storefronts facing the street, one building, with a backyard.

The hanging plaque has large characters in mud gold, and the three characters "Sheng Longchang" are quite strong. It's just that the overall look is a bit old, revealing an old feeling.

Not many people came in and out of the shop, just three or two.

Lu Jinxi retracted his hand, stood from a distance and watched for a while, then walked over there and said, "Take a look."

He Xing has no opinion.

Lu Jinxi walked forward, and he and Qingque followed.

I just didn't expect that, just a few dozen steps away, seeing that I had already reached the door, I was about to step in. There was a mighty group of people coming from the other side of the street, and they went straight to Shenglongchang!

"Be careful ma'am!"

Fortunately, He Xing was quick-witted, protected Lu Jinxi in time, and took a few steps back to avoid being knocked down by this group of people.

More than 20 people, all very strong, wearing short brown.

But if you look closely, you will find that they all have a round black emblem on their chests with the words "Sheng Longchang" written on them, which looks like Sheng Longchang's buddy.

But looking at this aggressive appearance, it really doesn't look like it.

There were also a lot of people along the street. Seeing such a big battle, they all looked over and whispered. Lu Jinxi stood a little behind He Xing, and could not help but frown quietly, a little curious.

These twenty or so people walk with the wind under their feet.

The one at the head looked thinner, with sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks, and a scar on his face that was drawn diagonally to the bridge of his nose, but he was wearing a literati shirt and holding a paper fan in his hand.

How do you see it, how do you feel violated.

But he shouldn't have this self-consciousness himself, instead he thinks that he is personable and has a feeling of "a feather fan and a scarf, while talking and laughing, the ashes are wiped out".

People are at the gate of Shenglongchang, and they go in as soon as they take a step.

That appearance is really domineering to the extreme.

Lu Jinxi and the others were outside, and they couldn't see his demeanor when he entered, only to hear a voice in a tone of voice inside.

"My surname is Chen, and it is Mr. Longfang of Sheng Longchang."

"Oh, it's not your tattered Sheng Longchang, it's our Shenghong, Shengda's Sheng Longchang. Come today, at the order of our master, I'll give you an ultimatum-"

"You are limited to move the nest from here within three days, otherwise don't blame us for being rude!"
