The charming legitimate daughter is reborn, addicted to the abstinent prince's pampering

He had no intention of going on a tour, but his professional ethics as a meticulous worker made him feel uneasy.

Just now, he saw Mrs. Gu chatting with Zhao Bingcheng for a few words, but because of the distance, he heard nothing.

He was a little annoyed, what if the two people just passed the code, it would be bad, so in desperation, he hurried into the cloth shop.

Staring at Zhao Chengcheng's back carefully and inquiringly.

"Shopkeeper, do you really not sell the cloth in your store?"

While speaking, his eyes began to sweep around, and he found that the interior was just an ordinary resting room separated from the cloth row, and there was nothing special about it.

Zhao Bingcheng turned his back to him, his heart beating fast.

He read the note Gu Wangshu gave him, and the content was simple and clear.

[Mobei is a wild horse. Mr. Wang put a rein around its neck to tame it. 】

It is a very short sentence, and ordinary people may not be able to understand its meaning.

But Zhao Bingcheng was not an ordinary person. With his talent and extremely high understanding, if he had not been born as a merchant and had a low status, he would have been able to participate in the imperial examination and become an official in the court through his own efforts.

After reading this line of writing, Zhao Bingcheng immediately understood what Gu Wangshu meant.

He is just a businessman, and what businessmen are best at is doing business. The reins here refer to business methods.

Putting it around his neck means jamming his throat and making it difficult for him to breathe.

Therefore, the meaning conveyed by this note is that he hopes that he can control the wild horse in Mobei economically and let him voluntarily surrender to Helian.

The fact that the prince sent someone to give him the task of winter clothes was enough to shock him.

Now that he has received the order to "contain Mobei economically" without warning, His Highness the Crown Prince trusts him so much?Aren't you worried that this profit-seeking businessman will ruin his plan?

Just as he was thinking this, from the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed a person flashing through the gap in the door curtain.

Zhao Bingcheng quickly turned his back to the door, crumpled the paper into a ball, and stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation.

The moment Hosaku opened the door curtain to ask, he swallowed the paper with the pain of a splitting throat.

Zhao Bingcheng swallowed a few times, moistening his throat with saliva and easing some of the pain.

He turned around slowly, his expression as usual.

"Yes, we will be closed for a while for the time being. It will probably last until the end of the new year. When the price of cloth increases, we will go back to Yong'an to continue opening. If you want to buy cloth, you might as well go to other stores, but other stores may also close... ....”

Zhao Bingcheng looked at the person coming without any trace as he spoke.

The man looks very ordinary, of medium height, neither fat nor thin. He is wearing gray cloth and looks like an ordinary citizen.

But there was exploration and defense in his eyes, his eyes were like torches, and his hands were covered with thin calluses.

Ordinary people are not like this, so Zhao Bingcheng concluded that this person should be the person who followed the two women just now.

Seeing that Zhao Chengcheng did not behave abnormally, Xizuo was too lazy to continue listening to him, so he turned around and left without saying a word.

The door curtain was lowered automatically, and Zhao Chengcheng breathed a sigh of relief. It was such a close call!

Gu Wangshu also breathed a sigh of relief, supported his grandmother as if nothing happened, and said as he walked:

"Grandma, do we have enough cloth?"

"That's enough. I went to seven or eight cloth shops and bought a dozen pieces of cloth. I don't need to buy any more during the Chinese New Year."

"Then let's go shopping for a while and then go back home."

The two of them continued to wander around Taiping Street. The news had been passed on, and Gu Wangshu could finally relax and no longer need to pay attention to the details behind him.

She glanced at the sky. The sun had just risen and was hanging slantingly in the east.

They left the house at half past Chenshi ([-] o'clock in the morning), and it was almost the end of Chenshi. At this time, the second uncle should be going to court soon, and Qiuchi should have arrived at Quanshi restaurant.

Qiu Chi told her that Yu Quan's restaurant was at the western end of Taiping Street, while Zhao Bingcheng's Zhao's Cloth Store was in the most prosperous area in the center of Taiping Street.

All she had to do was walk west along Taiping Street and she would definitely see Qiuchi.

the other side.

Qiu Chi has been targeted by Xizuo ever since he left the restaurant.

When Hosaku saw her meeting a young man, his alarm immediately went off.

He originally thought that this man was the contact person who delivered important news, but when he heard it closer, he realized that this man was the maid's brother.

Even so, Xizuo still dared not take it lightly and always followed.

Qiu Chi took his brother to visit the clothing stores, starting from the busiest part of Taiping Street to the coldest part of Taiping Street in the west.

Along the way, I visited more than a dozen ready-made clothing stores before choosing a satisfactory set for my brother.

Xizuo's mood was exactly the same as the previous one, jumping between hope and disappointment, and finally decided to lie down.

After leaving the house for an hour, Qiuchi hadn't eaten a morsel of food or drank a sip of water. She was already hungry and her mouth was dry.

Coincidentally, they also arrived at Yu Quan Restaurant.

The restaurant is not big, it is a rented house next to the street. If it weren't for the delicious and cheap food made by Yu Quan, not many people would come to such a quiet place.

Qiu Chi smelled the aroma of food wafting in the air and couldn't help but swallow.

However, when she saw five men with fierce looks standing in front of the restaurant, her expression suddenly changed.

Each of these five men were holding sticks in their hands, banging on the door of the restaurant, and waving it a few times from time to time, making the air whirring loudly, which looked strange and scary.

Qiu Chi gritted his teeth.

As expected, her young lady guessed it right, these people would not give up.

They deliberately demonstrated in front of Yu Quan, with the goal of forcing Yu Quan to close down and get out.

This is because there are no customers in the store. If there were any customers, it would not be as simple as a demonstration, and the store would have been destroyed long ago.

They act like watchdogs in front of the store every day, maybe one day they will smell it and discover the secret of the takeaway.

If these people are dealt with early, Yu Quan can do business well.

Qiu Chi secretly adjusted his mentality to stay calm.

Her young lady is extremely smart. As long as you do what she says, nothing will go wrong. There is nothing to be afraid of.

Qiu Chi cheered himself up and walked to Yu Quan Restaurant with his brother.

Before he could get closer, he was noticed by the five people who were beating him with sticks.

"What?"

Qiu Chi's newly straightened back was almost frightened by the other party's loud shout, but she knew that her task was arduous, and she could not give up no matter how afraid she was.

Qiu Chi thought of what Gu Wangshu told her last night.

"When you encounter those local gangsters, you must not be timid or submissive. You must hold your chest and head high. Treat yourself as a lady from the general's palace, look down at them with a dog's eyes, and try to arouse their anger."

Qiuchi cried: "Miss, are you sure they won't beat me to death?"

"Don't worry, before they beat you to death, your young lady will definitely appear as a hero in time to save you."

Qiu Chi understood what his young lady meant. Only by forcing those people to attack her could this matter become a big deal.

There is a saying that when beating a dog, it depends on the owner.

She is the personal maid of the legitimate daughter of the general's palace. Hitting her is like hitting the young lady in the face, and hitting the young lady in the face is hitting the general's palace in the face.

These people didn't know her lady at all. When she appeared, their anger was likely to burn to her.

In a little while, the Minister of War will pass by here on his way to court. He will definitely be furious when he sees her and the young lady being bullied by gangsters.

The Minister of Punishment is also the young lady's biological uncle.

The county magistrate didn't have the guts to protect these gangsters this time.

Thinking of this, the fear in Qiu Chi's heart disappeared.

Raising her delicate face, she didn't even look at the five men opposite her who always exuded the aura of "I am the best in the world".

"Do I need to report to you what I am doing? Who do you think you are? I don't care about heaven and earth, can you control me?"
