Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

Chapter 67: Self-humiliation (Part )

Xiao Fu arrived a little late and was unable to stop the other party, who attacked him ruthlessly and beat him out of Chunfeng Tower.

Su Cheng was an impatient person, and he saw Xiao Fu was also in a hurry last night. He thought it must be Anan's instruction, so he didn't ask any questions and rushed to Chunfeng Tower early in the morning.

At that time, Chunfeng Tower had not yet opened its doors. Only a few servants were waiting outside the door, eating melon seeds and buns, and telling sour jokes in a group. There were many pedestrians on the street, and the market was already starting to get lively.

Su Cheng brought a dozen capable servants and stood at the door of Chunfeng Tower. Before he could say anything, many passers-by stopped to watch. Then, word spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred. In a short moment, the whole street was blocked by people.

Things were out of Su Cheng's control. The reason why he brought so many people here was that he originally thought that no matter how prosperous Chunfeng Tower was, the shopkeeper was just a woman, and things would be easy to deal with by scaring her. Who knew that before they even entered the door of Chunfeng Tower, the whole street was talking about it, and the scene was comparable to a temple fair.

It would be fine if no one knew him, but in the past year, Su Cheng had bought fields and farms in Yongningwei and had been going in and out of the Governor's Mansion every day. He was considered a somewhat famous figure. At this moment, he was like a little devil in the sun, with no way to escape. He had started off well, but ended up in a difficult situation.

After knocking for a while, a waiter heard the news from inside and came out, opened the door with a smile, and ushered them in. There were curious people outside who wanted to follow in to see what was going on, but the waiter said, "Everyone, we have something to do today, so we're closed for a day."

The Yuan family also has a restaurant business. Su Cheng alone has managed dozens of them, large and small, so he is quite familiar with the business.

As a restaurant business, Chunfenglou is far away from the most prosperous street in Yongningwei. It has three courtyards, but the layout is neat and there is no staggered design. Although the whole building looks simple and elegant, it is just a rustic charm and is not worth much.

If it were not in a remote frontier place like Yongningwei, this situation would be suspected of being pretentious and would not be accepted in a high-class place.

The servant led him inside and there was a large courtyard behind. The servant stopped and said to Su Cheng with a smile, "The shopkeeper asked me to tell Master Su that if you are here to discuss business, please go inside. If you want to drink, please go in here."

Su Cheng thought for a moment, then signaled everyone who was traveling with him to stay and have tea. He only took a capable confidant with him and followed the servant to the ear room.

When I entered the door, I looked up and saw a pale-faced scholar leaning on a toffee chair with his eyes closed and dozing off. The servant called him softly, "Brother Tong, Master Su is here."

He heard it, and lazily opened his eyelids to take a quick look, yawned, and slowly sat up. He was still a little dazed, as if he had not woken up yet, and his pale face was pale, making him look very weak.

Su Cheng looked him up and down while bowing respectfully: "Nice to meet you, sir."

He raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a hint of sneer, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea, and said casually: "You are welcome. I am Lian Tong, the accountant of Chunfeng Tower. I wonder if Master Su has any advice for you on this trip?"

Su Cheng smiled and whispered, "No, no, it turns out that my wife came here to drink twice and really liked it, so she asked me to come and ask if the shopkeeper is willing to give it up."

Lian Tong rolled his eyes, lowered his head and drank his tea without saying a word.
