Zhu Xianzhi was in a good mood when he heard this. He put aside the words that Jiang Xiaoshi had said to insult him and said:

"I am not a talented son-in-law, so I will leave it to my father-in-law and mother-in-law to

Lin Yuning put down the teacup, glanced at Zhu Xianzhi, and said, "Although he has no great talent, he is sensible."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xianzhi gave Lin Yuning a silly smile.

Lin Luoling sneered in her heart. What does it mean to be sensible? She was just secretly scolding him for being stupid.

He Jinchun smiled and said, "In that case, Ling'er also said that those two shops are excellent, so I will let Jiang Feng buy those two shops, but..."

He Jinchun paused, and said seriously: "You have never sold grain before, and you are not familiar with the twists and turns here. After the shop is cleaned up, I will send two accountants and two managers, and you will learn from them for a while.

When you are familiar with the affairs here, you can find a suitable accountant and manager by yourself, and we will not have to worry about it. "

Before coming, Marquis Yongning instructed Zhu Xianzhi to agree to any requests or conditions put forward by Lin Tingxu and He Jinchun.

Marquis Yongning was in urgent need of grain to fill the deficit. As for the shop, where to buy it, and how to sell it, Marquis Yongning didn't want to care at all.

However, Marquis Yongning did not expect He Jinchun to put forward such a condition. If he knew, he would definitely not let Zhu Xianzhi agree to it.

As a result, Marquis Yongning had no way to embezzle food under the noses of the people sent by He Jinchun.

Zhu Xianzhi had no idea of ​​Marquis Yongning's true intention and agreed immediately.

Seeing this, He Jinchun immediately asked Jiang Feng to negotiate the two shops.

Jiang Feng walked quickly to the gate of Lin Mansion and saw Jiang Chi waving a fan, as if he had been waiting for a long time. He couldn't help but asked with a smile: "What are you doing here, Young Master Jiang?"

Jiang Chi did not hide anything and said bluntly: "I heard that Butler Jiang is going to discuss something. Fortunately, I have nothing to do. I will go with you to broaden your horizons. Is that okay?"

Jiang Feng said: "It's just a discussion of two shops, how can it be considered as a broadening of horizons?"

Seeing Jiang Chi winking at him, Jiang Feng thought Jiang Chi wanted to go out for fun, but Ningyuan Hou's wife disagreed, so Jiang Chi said he wanted to accompany him to discuss something.

Therefore, Jiang Feng changed the subject and said, "It would be boring for me to go alone. It would be good to have Young Master Jiang accompany me."

The two of them left the house and got on the carriage. Jiang Chi lowered his voice and said, "This prince has invited the owners of the two shops to the Bixiangchun Garden Tea House."

Jiang Feng was startled. Seeing that Jiang Chi looked serious and didn't seem to be joking, he first ordered the driver to change the route to Bixiangchun Garden, and then asked Jiang Chi in a low voice:

"Young Master Jiang, do you know the owners of those two shops?"

Jiang Chi nodded and said, "Yes."

Arriving at Bixiangchun Garden, Jiang Feng had just announced his name when the shopkeeper personally escorted them to the Yafangzhai in the back hall and said:

"Our master has been waiting here for a long time. Please come in, Butler Jiang."

Jiang Feng was confused and turned to look at Jiang Chi. Jiang Chi closed his fan and said, "Let's go, Butler Jiang."

After entering the house, Jiang Feng saw at a glance that the person waiting for them inside was Gu Shun, the butler of Prince An's Mansion.

Gu Shun politely stood up to greet him, and said with a smile, "Butler Jiang, please sit over here."

Before Jiang Feng came, he knew that these two shops were the private property of Prince An, but he never expected how Young Master Jiang would convince Gu Shunlai to discuss the shops with him.

He was full of questions, how did Young Master Jiang and Gu Shun know each other? And he even asked Gu Shun to come here in advance.

Everyone in Jingxuzhou knew that Gu Shun seldom left the house, and even when he did, it was to do things for Prince An. It was unexpected that Young Master Jiang could order Gu Shun around.

Jiang Feng looked confused and glanced at Jiang Chi several times.

Because Gu Shun was there, Jiang Feng had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask.

After the greetings, they sat down. Gu Shunxian handed over two pieces of rice paper, which were documents for passing the market, and had the seal of the Xuzhou Cang Cao on them. (Note 1)

Jiang Feng had sharp eyes and could tell that there was something wrong with the seal at a glance. He raised his head and looked at Gu Shun.

Gu Shun smiled and handed over two more city rent documents. (Note 2)

Jiang Feng took a closer look and saw that the two rent documents clearly stated that the rent was for a period of six months, and the seal of the warehouse official on them was authentic and valid.

Seeing Jiang Feng's confusion, Gu Shun explained, "Of these two documents, one belongs to Madam He, and the other is for Butler Jiang to take back to deal with Zhu Xianzhi. The seal of the warehouse is fake. Butler Jiang is familiar with the business, so he can't hide it from your sharp eyes.

However...Even if the Marquis of Yongning took a look, he would not be able to tell the authenticity, so Steward Jiang can rest assured about this."

Gu Shun personally poured tea for Jiang Feng. Jiang Feng was a little flattered and stood up to thank him.

Then Gu Shun said, "These two city rent documents are valid for half a year. I think Miss Lin from your family should have divorced Zhu Xianzhi by then. Even if it is not time for divorce, we can renew the contract privately.

Our Prince An said that if Miss Lin divorced Zhu Xianzhi, there would be no way to get these two shops back, so he asked me to do this."

Jiang Feng suddenly realized it, stood up and thanked Gu Shun, and said: "Please ask Butler Gu to thank His Royal Highness Prince An for my lady's thoughtful consideration."

When signing the document, Jiang Feng took a closer look and found that the rent for the two shops clearly stated that it would only cost two cents for a period of half a year.

Jiang Feng paused while writing, then looked up and asked Gu Shun.

Jiang Chizhan fanned the conversation and said, "Just sign it without worry, butler Jiang. With this prince guaranteeing you, what else do you have to worry about? Can this prince still cheat sister Ling'er?"

"Of course that's not what I meant. It's just that the rent in this city is too low, two cents. Could it be written wrong?" Jiang Feng asked.

Gu Shun smiled and said, "That's not the slightest mistake. Butler Jiang knows the character of His Royal Highness Prince An very well. He will not use two city rent documents to curry favor with Lin and ask him to do things for him.

His Royal Highness Prince An never forces others to do anything. This is the price set by Young Master Jiang. Young Master Jiang said Zhu Xianzhi is only worth two cents."

Hearing this, Jiang Feng gave Jiang Chi a thumbs up and thought: Young Master Jiang is not only good at defying the heavens, the earth, and the gods, but he is also an expert among experts when it comes to humiliating people.

After signing the document and stamping it, Jiang Feng returned to the Lin Mansion with two city passing documents and one city rent document.

When Zhu Xianzhi received the documents for the two shops' closing, he couldn't hide his joy.

The work was done, so Lin Tingxu and He Jinchun invited them to have lunch at the Lin Mansion.

When the meal was being served in the Moon-Viewing Pavilion, Zhu Xianzhi suddenly remembered the delicious minced meat and vegetable porridge he had eaten at the Lin Mansion. He happened to see the old woman who brought him the porridge standing in the corner, so he waved to her.

The old woman stepped forward.

Then I heard Zhu Xianzhi ask, "Madam, how did you make the minced meat porridge that you gave me that day? Can you write it down so that I can ask the cook in the mansion to learn how to make it when I get back home?"

The old woman spat in her heart: What a second young master of the Marquis's Mansion, he is addicted to eating dog food, bah bah bah.

The old woman rolled her eyes and said in embarrassment: "Sir, I can't read, let alone write. If you want to eat, I will make you a bowl right now."

Aunt Qi knew what kind of porridge Zhu Xianzhi ate, so she stepped forward to smooth things over and said, "Sir, please don't embarrass her. That porridge is very hard to make. Even if you write it down, I'm afraid the cook in Yongning Marquis's Mansion won't be able to make it."

As soon as the voice fell, everyone saw Jiang Chi coming in with a fan. He spat, "A dignified marquis's mansion can't even cook porridge. It's better not to have such a cook!"

Jiang Feng had just quietly told Lin Tingxu and He Jinchun about the signing of the document. The couple looked at Jiang Chi walking in with an arrogant look and targeting Zhu Xianzhi, and they all pretended not to see anything.

Lin Luoling raised her eyelids and tilted her head to look at Jiang Chi.

Before Zhu Xianzhi said a word, Jiang Chi snorted coldly, "A person who is not presentable is worthy of having a meal with this prince?"

Jiang Chi held a fan and flicked the tip of the fan at Zhu Xianzhi's collar. Before Zhu Xianzhi could react, he flew out of the Moon-Viewing Pavilion.
