Chapter 90 What's the shame?

Xiao Yuzhuo thought about his affair with Princess Nanping, and it was really inappropriate to ask him to meet Wang Jingzhi.

If Wang Jingzhi didn't know about those things, it would be fine, but if he knew, then the things that should have been negotiated would not be able to be negotiated.

She did not force Wei Ziwu.

Seeing that Liang Sheng agreed without hesitation, she handed it over to Liang Sheng to prepare.

She invited Wang Jingzhi to dinner in the name of the owner of "Dexin Cabinet Shop".

The place where the invitation was made was in the private room of Wufangzhai.

Wufangzhai has almost become a must-go place for people in Chang'an to talk about things.

Wang Jingzhi didn't want to go at first, but Xiao Yuzhuo ordered someone to remove a square on the lantern, fixed it again and sent it to him.

When Wang Jing saw the lamp, he agreed to go.

Xiao Yuzhuo was the host, so she and Mr. Liang arrived first.

As soon as Wang Jingzhi entered the private room, he was obviously taken aback when he saw Xiao Yuzhuo.

"Isn't this the lady of the Xiao family? Why are you here?" Wang Jingzhi was taken aback for a moment, "So you are the owner of Dexin Cabinet Shop?"

Wang Jing was stunned.

Xiao Yuzhuo was more surprised than him, "You..."

Is this Wang Jingzhi?

Why does this face look so similar to Wei Ziwu's?

Those eyebrows, that mouth and nose, are just like brothers!

It's just that Wang Jingzhi is a little older.

Moreover, Wei Ziwu's ruffian and fierceness were missing between his brows.

Xiao Yuzhuo was a little uncertain at the moment, it was rumored that Princess Nanping and Prince Consort Jingzhi were at odds.

Did she dislike Wang Jingzhi because of her discord, or...

If he didn't like it, how could he be so fond of Wei Ziwu?

No wonder Wei Ziwu refused to come to see Wang Jingzhi!

Xiao Yuzhuo looked sideways and glanced at Liang Sheng, and saw that Liang Sheng was not surprised when he saw Wei Ziwu.

Sure enough, Wei Ziwu was hiding from Princess Nanping, so he probably knew why he was so loved by Princess Nanping, right?
"Please sit down, son-in-law." Xiao Yuzhuo said with a smile, "On the day of Shangyuan Festival, I saw the lanterns made by my son-in-law in West Market. I was amazed at its exquisiteness, and even more amazed at its ingenuity."

After Wang Jingzhi sat down, he cupped his hands and smiled, "It's just for playing with itchy hands."

"You can still make such a masterpiece while playing with itchy hands, but if you are serious about it, wouldn't it be as ingenious as the Lishan Palace?" Xiao Yuzhuo laughed.

Unexpectedly, a look of melancholy appeared on Wang Jingzhi's face.

His eyes were far away, as if caught in a memory.

After a long time, he let out a long sigh, looked down at his hands, shook his head and said, "That's all in the past."

"What? Does the son-in-law not like these now?" After Xiao Yuzhuo asked, he couldn't help shaking his head and said, "The son-in-law said just now that his hands were itchy, and since his hands are itchy, it must be that he doesn't like it, so why..."

Wang Jing glanced at her, "Ms. Xiao has always been decisive in her words and actions. Today, as the owner of the counter shop, you invited Wang to come. What is your intention? Why don't you explain it clearly?"

Xiao Yuzhuo smiled and glanced at Liang Sheng.

Liang Sheng quickly took out a map of the south of the city and placed it in front of Wang Jingzhi.

Wang Jing looked at him suspiciously.

Liang Sheng raised his hand and circled the map, "Here, Niangzi has an hectare of land, and the imperial court must submit the planning and design drawings before allowing development. Niangzi has the heart to build, and if she wants to do it, she wants to do the best. Can make plans There are quite a few people who are trying to figure it out, and it is possible that the one who has taken this matter seriously to the extreme is none other than the son-in-law."

Wang Jingzhi's hands trembled slightly, and his eyes suddenly burst into light.

He was moved.

Liang Sheng, who was opposite him, and Xiao Yuzhuo, who was sitting a little further away, could feel it.

Even the maids standing behind Xiao Yuzhuo felt that they probably found the right person, and the son-in-law would definitely agree.

Unexpectedly, Wang Jingzhi raised his hand to touch the field that Liang Sheng had circled with his fingers very affectionately, but lowered his eyes and said: "I don't write anymore."

Ok?
Liang Sheng looked back at Xiao Yuzhuo.

Xiao Yuzhuo frowned, "Why?"

Wang Jingzhi sighed lightly, and a wry smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

Before he opened his mouth, there was the sound of thumping footsteps in the corridor, clogs stepped on the stairs, as if they were going to punch a hole in the stairs.

As the voice approached, a thick female voice came in through the door of the private room.

"Wang Jingzhi, it's not enough for you to fiddle with the work of those craftsmen all day long, and now you're hooking up with businessmen? Scholar, farmer, businessman, are you getting less and less self-respecting?"

bang.

The door of the private room was kicked in.

Men'er Xiaoer's face was anxious, he wanted to stop but didn't dare to stop, wanted to pull but didn't dare to pull.

"I'd like to see, are you with that bastard..." Princess Nanping, who was standing at the door, paused.

She stared at Xiao Yuzhuo dumbfounded, then at Liang Sheng beside Xiao Yuzhuo, and finally her eyes fell on Wang Jingzhi.

Xiao Yuzhuo stood up with a smile, "I have seen the princess, what did the princess say just now? What are you mean?"

Princess Nanping frowned and looked at her up and down, muttered to herself, stepped into the door, and closed the door with her backhand, the maid and Xiao Er beside her were shut out.

"Yuyu, why is it you? Are you that so-called businessman?" Princess Nanping was surprised, "I heard that he is in the cabinet business, please ask him..."

Xiao Yuzhuo nodded slowly, "That's right, it's me."

Princess Nanping's eyes widened, "You are in the cabinet business... Dexin Cabinet is your business?"

"I'm doing it." Xiao Yuzhuo smiled and nodded.

"Yuyu, if you can't go on, just bow down to General Jing and give in! Can you still have a bite to eat? If not, won't Auntie leave you alone?" Nanping looked at her raised cheeks. Belly, tsk tsk twice.

Xiao Yuzhuo smiled slightly, "Why can't I be a cabinet shop?"

Nan Ping shook his head again and again, "I have a big stomach, and I still want to do this thing of competing for the interests of the people, no, no, no, I have to tell my father, the big deal, I beg my father to give you back all your food! How can I make you suffer?" This grievance?"

Xiao Yuzhuo sternly said, "No, I don't have any merit, so why should I live on food? What's wrong with me relying on proper economics to support myself? Why compete with the people for profit? To promote the circulation of materials and give what is needed to the people. People who need it, why are they cheap?"

Princess Nanping frowned at her, as if she didn't quite understand her logic.

"Could it be that if you were born in the royal family, or if you are on the sidelines of the royal family, you should idle around and receive support for nothing? Since you can support yourself, why should you rely on others?" Xiao Yuzhuo said with a serious face, "If Today I beg for food, and if I make a mistake again in the future, will I be hungry again and ask for help? People rely on their own wisdom and ability to do things that benefit the country and the people, and they can also feed the people. Satisfy yourself, what's wrong?"

Princess Nanping looked at her in surprise, "Where did you hear these principles? People are born with high and low, and birth has already determined everything..."

"I just don't believe in family background. People are born different, and there should only be a difference in talent. Some people are suitable to be people who rule the world, just like today's saints, and some people should lead troops to fight, just like you prominent generals. And some people , it is suitable for business, just like..." Xiao Yuzhuo smiled, "Just like shopkeeper Liang."

"As long as a person relies on his own ability to earn a living and support himself, and it is convenient for others, benefiting others and himself, there is no distinction!"

After Xiao Yuzhuo finished speaking, he smiled slightly, raised his hand and patted Princess Nanping on the shoulder, "I didn't mean to target you."

Princess Nanping quickly grabbed her hand and gave her a hard look, "I didn't think you were talking about me either!"

She glanced at Wang Jingzhi again, "Go, follow me back!"

Wang Jing lowered his eyes, looking at the map of the south of the city on the short table in front of him, no one could see his expression clearly.

"Hurry up!" Princess Nanping looked up at Xiao Yuzhuo, "What do you want him for?"

"I agree." Wang Jingzhi said suddenly.

Xiao Yuzhuo smiled lightly upon hearing this.

Princess Nanping was taken aback, "What do you agree to?"

Wang Jing raised his head straight, with a serious and cautious expression on his face, "I'll take this job for Mrs. Xiao. I haven't drawn or designed for a long time, and my hands are already itchy. Just ask me to draw and design, and the fee is not low. "

Xiao Yuzhuo nodded.

Liang Sheng cupped his hands, "I definitely dare not treat my son-in-law badly."

Princess Nanping was dumbfounded, "What are you talking about? You want to draw pictures again? Do you want to do things that craftsmen do? Are you willing to be a craftsman?"

"So what if I'm a craftsman? I have hands and feet. Do I have to be an idler who relies on the princess for everything, eats the princess's salary, and waits for death?" Wang Jing straightened his back and looked directly at Princess Nanping. , "I just want to be a craftsman, not only to be a craftsman, but also to be the most famous craftsman in Daxia!"

After speaking, he snorted coldly and walked away.

Princess Nanping was completely stunned.

Wang Jingzhi had already slammed the door and went out for a long time before she came back to her senses in astonishment.

She turned her head to look at Xiao Yuzhuo hesitantly, "He... he just now, was that aimed at me?"

Xiao Yuzhuo nodded.

She looked at Liang Sheng again, and Liang Sheng also hurriedly bowed his hands.

Xiao Yuzhuo said: "Princess calm down, the son-in-law may be too emotional at the moment."

Princess Nanping laughed, "Ever since he became the captain-in-law, how many years have I not seen him so stubborn? He is obsequious in front of me all day long, and he is more girlish than a little lady! Hehe, how dare he look so tough today? You lost your temper at me, and you really improved!"

Princess Nanping also flung her sleeves and left.

Xiao Yuzhuo tilted his head, "Is what she said happy or unhappy?"

"Maybe it's mixed joy and sorrow." Liang Sheng said slowly.

Xiao Yuzhuo frowned, "Regardless of the matter between their husband and wife, since the son-in-law has already agreed, the next thing will be troublesome to shopkeeper Liang."

Liang Sheng said yes.

Xiao Yuzhuo left Wufangzhai, got on the bullock cart and planned to go back to other courtyards.

The ox cart runs slower, and now that she has a body, she needs to be steady, so the driver can drive more leisurely.

Mei Xiang lifted the curtain and looked out.

"Hey, isn't that the Xiao family's carriage?" Mei Xiang raised her hand and pointed out.

Xiao Yuzhuo also looked over.

Zhuxiang's eyes were sharp, "It's the Xiao family's carriage! Yunding Casino? Who is the Xiao family gambling here?"

"Is there a teahouse nearby? There are windows facing the street." Xiao Yuzhuo asked.

Zhuxiang quickly looked around, "It's not far ahead, and that window can just see here."

"Let's go sit down." Xiao Yuzhuo said with lowered eyes.

I don't know if it's because of what happened to her in Yunding Gambling last time, but now that Xiao's family has something to do with Yunding Gambling, she feels a little guilty in her heart.

Mei Xiang went to ask for a private room, and took her hand to the window.

This location happens to be able to see people coming and going in front of the Genting Casino.

"Zhuxiang, arrange a few people to watch at the back door of Yunding Gambling House. If the Xiao family members come out from the back door, I will know who it is." Xiao Yuzhuo ordered.

Zhuxiang agreed to make arrangements.
