A businesswoman with a sharp edge, a genius cultivator

Chapter 90

Lu Yifeng hurried over after receiving the news, but all he saw was the back of the carriage going away and the dust that had not yet fallen.

"Ye Zixi, have you left yet?" Lu Yifeng murmured to himself, unable to explain where the sense of loss in his heart came from. Maybe, he was poisoned by Zixi's poison.

"I heard that you not only saved a lot of people, but you were also rewarded by the emperor and named the Lord of Pingxi County. Is this true?" The man asked curiously, with thick eyebrows raised.

"It's everyone's credit, I'm just spreading money." Zixi smiled lightly, she really didn't expect to get this Pingxi county lord.

"You're young, don't be surprised. This is the first time I've seen a girl like you. I didn't believe it at first, but now I believe it. The calmness and indifference in you is indeed worthy of your status and family fortune." The man nodded. Head, said seriously.

Zixi grinned, and the coachman outside had stopped the carriage, "Miss, you're home."

"En." Zixi responded, and made a "please" gesture to the man, "Jasper Fragrance is my home, please."

"Thank you." The man said and got out of the car first, and Zixi followed closely. Looking up, the big characters Jasper Fragrance glowed golden in the sun, and there was a faint sweet fragrance coming out of it.

"What is this?" The man stood over the fruit juice milk tea and watched Xiao Rou busy in surprise.

"This is fruit juice, fruit wine, and milk tea. They are all the characteristics of Jasper Fragrance. Which one do you like?" Xiaorou smiled sweetly.

"I want to try them all..." The man was not polite.

The corner of Xiaorou's mouth twitched, but Zixi pursed her lips and smiled, "Give him a small cup for everything."

"Okay." Xiaorou nodded, and the man glanced at Zixi with satisfaction, then turned to observe the hall.

"Such a big peach can catch up with the tribute to the emperor." The man leaned his head towards the peaches on the fruit stand and said.

"Xiaorou, prepare some fruit for him." Zixi ordered lightly, telling her intuitively that this man is not simple, if he can satisfy him, her business will grow bigger and bigger.

"Okay." Xiaorou nodded and went to work, the man turned his head to look at Zixi, and praised, "Not bad, little girl, you can do business."

Zixi smiled lightly, "The business is not too much, if you take it home and eat delicious food, then come again, Jasper Fragrance will definitely welcome you warmly."

"It's easy to talk about." The man nodded, and a fruit juice and wine came out, nodding constantly, "How did you come up with the idea of ​​adding fruit juice to milk? It tastes good. My family must like it. Don't mind if I take some back. ?”

The man blinked his eyes and looked at Zixi, the child-like disposition made Zixi a little funny, "Of course."

Ye Niang saw that there was a guest coming and started cooking, and after the two chatted for a while, the food was already cooked.

Eating the rice in the bowl, the man was full of praise, "Let me just say, the kind of rice that was placed on the market before, how could it be considered high-quality rice? This is called high-quality rice! It is as good as the emperor's food." spell."

Zixi frowned slightly, listening to the man's words, her face remained calm, how low can a person who can eat the emperor's food have a low status?It seems that I have met a nobleman.

"Little girl, the food is good, the rice is even better, the juice is also good, and the fruit wine is also sweet. Are you interested in cooperating with me so that these shops of yours can be opened all over the southeast?"

Southeast?That includes New Moon City, Muxiao City and the four surrounding cities. Compared with the modern map, it is a territory as big as two or three provinces. This man is so arrogant!
"If there is such an opportunity, of course I would be very happy!" Zixi responded with raised eyebrows.

"Okay! Just wait for my good news." The man chuckled, and suddenly remembered something, his face straightened, "By the way, my name is Mu Li."

Zixi nodded lightly, "Okay." That indifferent appearance made the man feel more fond of him, and he was really calm and calm!

Even hearing his name, there was no reaction.

Watching the man leave, Zixi frowned and immediately asked Lian Yu about the name Mu Li.

"Muli? The lord of Muxiao City is called Muli, miss, why did you ask this?" Lian Yu raised his eyebrows.

Zixi smiled lightly, "It's okay, just ask."

It turned out to be the Lord of Muxiao City!It is said that three of the four cities in the southeast are his people. It seems that what he said about making the southeast all full of his own stores is not a lie.

"Thief, you thief, you dare to steal my buns! I'll kill you and me!" A sudden startled voice immediately attracted Zixi's attention.

At the door of a bun shop on the left, a thin figure curled up into a ball, holding the bun tightly on his chest, no matter how much the shop owner yelled at him, he didn't yell or let go.

Zixi frowned and stared, the thin figure pursed his lips tightly, as if the owner's whip didn't hit him.

Does this figure look familiar?Zixi raised her eyebrows, stepped down from the stone steps at the entrance of Biyu Piaoxiang, and stretched out her hand to grab the whip that the woman wanted to continue beating.

The whip couldn't move, the woman was stunned and turned her head to see Zixi, her eyes lit up, "Master, are you here to buy buns?"

Ye Zixi, the lord of Pingxi County, is a name known to everyone from the 80-year-old to the three-year-old in Liuxi Town.

"He came to steal your buns again? He has come many times?" Zixi raised his eyebrows, and asked the woman, looking at the curled figure on the ground, without answering the woman's words.

Zixi didn't notice that the moment the people on the ground heard her voice, they flinched.

"Hey, my lord, I am also a small business. You know, since the plague, this kid has often come to me to steal steamed stuffed buns. It has been ten or twenty times. How can I bear this in the long run?" Xinshan gave him two, but she didn't expect him to get worse and worse, so she couldn't help but hit him.

"Let him go, how much steamed bun money has been lost during this period, come to Biyu Piaoxiang to get it." Zixi said lightly.

"Let's just let him go, let's forget about the money." The woman was a little embarrassed, and Zixi was usually generous to them. These buns were actually not worth a lot of money, but they were always being stolen, and she was a little resentful.

"It's okay, it's not easy for you to run a small business, you can count how much you can get here." Zi Xi said with a slight smile and didn't care.

"Hey, well, thank you, Lord County Master." The woman quickly thanked.

Zixi nodded, and then looked at the child on the ground clutching the bun tightly, "Hey, wake up, the ground is cold."

As soon as Zixi finished speaking, the figure jumped up suddenly, without even looking at Zixi, he quickly ran towards the alley in front.

"Hey, this kid, why is he not polite at all? The county lord gave him the steamed stuffed bun money, and he doesn't understand how grateful he is?" the woman from the steamed stuffed bun shop scolded as she watched the child run away.

Turning his head to look, Zixi, who was standing in front of him, has disappeared?

"Huh? Where's the county master?"

"Hoo hoo, hoo hoo." In the narrow alley, the young man clutched the bun on his chest, panting heavily, turned his head to look behind him, only then thought he had thrown off Zixi.

Just as he was about to take out the steamed stuffed bun from his chest, a cool and pleasant voice floated over, "What? Is this the attitude towards my former benefactor? I regret saving you back then."

The young man paused, and quickly raised his head, Zixi's face so close at hand suddenly startled him!With a shake of his hand, the bun rolled down.

Fortunately, Zixi had quick eyes and hands, and as soon as he reached out, he grabbed the bun and handed it to him, "Here."

The young man hesitated, did not reach out to take it or speak, his face was covered by his messy long hair, if Zixi hadn't recognized his figure, he might not know who he was.

"Why, don't you want it?" Zixi raised his eyebrows, and the boy reached out to take it.

"Why did you run away when you saw me? Am I ugly? Or am I scary?" As soon as Zixi finished speaking, the boy shook his head vigorously.

"Why is that?" Zixi raised her eyebrows and asked again.

The boy didn't speak, he didn't eat the steamed stuffed bun, he just stood there quietly.

Zixi's hand gently stretched out and stroked the hair in front of the boy's eyes, and a pair of bright star-like eyes appeared in front of Zixi, "Obviously there are such beautiful eyes, why do you have to cover them up?" Zixi said, giving him a hand hair up.

The boy's dirty face pursed his lips, his eyelids lowered, as if he didn't know how to face Zixi.

Glancing at the young man's chest, Zixi frowned, "What's wrong here?" Pulling the young man's hand away, his chest, which was only wearing a thin layer of clothing, was exposed. A few buns are hot.

Isn't it cold to wear a tattered dress on such a cold day?Zixi thought to herself, but didn't say it out loud. Wasn't the same situation in Ye Zixi's family in the past?The whole family can't afford a few clothes.

The young man pursed his lips and still did not speak, Zixi let out a soft breath, "Come home with me, there is no home, from now on, my home will be your home."

After Zixi's voice fell, the young man raised his head sharply, staring at her with a pair of bright eyes, "Are you serious?"

"Of course!" Zixi nodded, she was about the same height, but Zixi felt that she was a sister.

"Hey, Zixi, who is this?" Father Ye and Niang Ye were very surprised, why does Zixi always bring strange people to her home?
"I picked it up, and it will be my foster brother from now on." Zixi smiled, "Mother, give him hot water to wash himself up, and I'll go buy him clothes."

After handing over the person to Ye Niang, Zixi went to the tailor shop to buy some clothes for the young man. After a while, the young man came out of the bathroom specially set up by Zixi's house.

Dripping drops of water fell down his long hair. The young man was barefoot and dressed in lake blue brocade clothes, looking very fresh.

He kept his head down, his long hair covered his face, making it difficult for Zixi to see what he really looked like.

"Look up." Zixi said helplessly.

The boy hesitated for a moment before raising his head.

The eyebrows flew into the temples, the starry eyes and bright eyebrows, the untouched red lips, his face revealed after washing off the dirt made Zixi's eyes shine.
