Concubine in power, prince, please respect yourself

Chapter 22
Coming out of the back door of the women's collection, Qin Ziling walked on the street. All the way along the way, Qin Ziling heard young girls discussing Juxiangju and the women's collection.Smiling smugly, Qin Ziling became more and more happy.It seems that at her level, she is very close to success.

While Qin Ziling was still complacent, he was suddenly bumped by a person rushing from the alley and almost fell to the ground.

Just as Qin Ziling stabilized his figure and hadn't raised his head, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Brother Qin, ah, what a coincidence, I can meet you here. It seems that we are really destined, and I am going to find you."

Before raising his head, Qin Ziling knew who was on the opposite side. With such a cacophony, there was no one else except Xuanyuanchen.

"Brother Chen looks so anxious, I'm afraid he's not looking for me, but he's in a hurry to go to Chunhonglou to find that Ruyan girl, right?"

Knowing that Qin Ziling was making fun of him, Xuanyuan Chen didn't pay much attention.

"Brother Qin really wronged me if he wanted to say that. I heard Shopkeeper Liu talk about Juxiangju and Women's Collection a few days ago, so I wanted to come early this morning to cheer, but my father came to me. That's why we waited until now, isn't it because we're afraid we won't be able to open in time, that's why we panicked and bumped into Brother Qin."

Looking at Qin Ziling, Xuanyuanchen said with a smile, after finishing speaking, he was going to reach out and rub Qin Ziling's bumped place, his brother looks very delicate, don't let his martial arts body hit him broken.

Cleverly avoiding Xuanyuanchen's touch, Qin Ziling changed the topic.

"It's rare that Brother Chen still remembers this matter, and I happen to be going too, so let's go together."

In this way, the two rushed to Juxiangju together.

As soon as he arrived in front of Juxiangju, even Qin Ziling was frightened. The shop was full of customers, and the staff were busy all the time.

After finally squeezing into the store, they saw shopkeeper Liu and Gu Yuan who were sweating profusely.

"Ah, Mr. Qin is here. I'm really busy today, thanks to Mr. Gu's help. Otherwise, I would definitely not be able to do it alone."

After wiping some sweat from his forehead, shopkeeper Liu said with a breath.It was also because the store was too busy, so he came to entertain the guests together. He was able to sweat in the December weather. One could imagine how many customers there were in the store.

"I also have nothing to do, Uncle Liu, you don't have to be polite."

"Thank you, Brother Gu."

Looking at Gu Yuan gratefully, Qin Ziling was still very moved.

"Wow, tsk tsk, brother Qin, this product of yours is really good, and it has attracted so many customers. Oh, tell me, I have a good relationship with you! Can you get me two sets of the best quality, so I can take it To my mother and sisters."

Seeing that Qin Ziling's products were so popular, Xuanyuan Chen was also very surprised, and it happened that the end of the year was approaching, so he not only took care of Qin Ziling's business, but also gave him a favor.

"No problem. If Brother Chen wants it, I can just get it from the inventory. I have reserved a few sets for Brother Chen, and I will let someone get it later."

Qin Ziling was really touched by Xuanyuanchen's actions. He helped her to get through this relationship. If they can get into the eyes of the royal family and have a relationship with the royal family, then their shop will really become famous. .

"Wow, it's snowing, brother Qin, look, it's snowing."

Qin Ziling, who was still immersed in his own thoughts, suddenly heard Xuanyuan Chen bluffing, turned around and saw that it was really snowing.

I saw big snowflakes falling down one by one. The passers-by on the street didn’t think to hide from the snow because of the sudden snowfall. Instead, they stood in the snow one by one, feeling the first snow of this year. .

"Hey, brother Qin, it is said that the auspicious snow is a sign of a good harvest, and your shop opened today, it seems that this is also a good omen."

Hearing Xuanyuan Chen's words, Qin Ziling couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.

"Brother Chen, Brother Gu, I'll go to the backyard first."

After finishing speaking, before Xuanyuanchen could speak, Qin Ziling walked out.

Standing in the backyard of Juxiangju, Qin Ziling watched the snowflakes pass through the branches and fall to the ground.

Looking up, feeling the cold feeling of snowflakes hitting her face, the corners of Qin Ziling's eyes slowly became moist.

Before crossing, her family lived in the south, where she had never seen snow.She once promised her family that if she had time, she would take them to the north to see the first snow.However, she was always too busy, and she didn't take them to see a snowstorm until the time of crossing.

I don't know how her modern body is now, and I just hope they don't feel too sad.

Standing in the snow, Qin Ziling raised his head slightly, but there was a trace of loneliness and sadness in his eyes.

Standing on the second floor next door to Juxiangju, Xuanyuan Yi saw this Qin Ziling at this moment.

I couldn't help but feel a throbbing pain in my heart. What kind of secrets does this woman have.Why is there such a big difference in this year.And now she is standing in the snow, why is she so pitiful, wanting to take care of her in her arms and see her smile proudly, instead of standing with a lonely look?
Regarding Qin Ziling's recent behavior, he could see clearly that from a person who had nothing at all, to now having such a complete business in just one year.

Not only that, but all her things came from her own brain. He was very curious about those things that she had never seen before. Moreover, Qin Ziling had never come into contact with them before. Where did her ideas come from.

Even the pencils and clips given to him that day were the same.

Also, she actually knows martial arts. He remembered that Qin Ziling had never been taught martial arts by anyone.

This year, or the time before, what exactly did Qin Ziling go through that made her live in such a hidden way these past few years, and what made her eyes reveal such sadness at this moment.

Now Qin Ziling, every time he sees her, makes him want to hug her so tightly.

Sensing a warm gaze, Qin Ziling opened his eyes and looked towards that gaze, but only saw the window swaying in the wind.

Maybe she was wrong.

"Brother Qin, I didn't expect you to run so fast."

Gu Yuan looked at Qin Ziling and smiled warmly.Looking at Qin Ziling's delicate appearance, he didn't expect to run so fast.

"I asked Brother Qin why he ran so fast. It turned out that he came to see the snow. It made it hard for me to find him."

Looking at Qin Ziling amusedly, Xuanyuanchen said with the redness on his cheeks blown by the wind. "Because this is the first snow this year, I really followed Brother Chen's auspicious words. Thanks to Brother Gu for helping me today, I am very grateful!"

Hugging Gu Yuan with a fist, Qin Ziling said gratefully.

"I have nothing to do, I just came here to join in the fun. Brother Qin really wants to thank me. Let's go to the bar tonight. I haven't had a drink with Brother Qin for a long time. Gu misses Brother Qin's poems a little bit. "

Gu Yuan was still the same as before, with a natural and unrestrained taste.

"A word is a deal, a word is a deal!"

Recalling the first meeting, Qin Ziling smiled heartily.

"Young master Qin, the shopkeeper is looking for you and asked you to go to the private room."

A young man hurried in and said to Qin Ziling.

"Then I'll go to the shopkeeper first, Brother Gu, Brother Chen, please wait for a while, I'll treat everyone to a drink tonight."

"It's a deal. We'll come to Brother Qin again tonight. We have something to do, so we have to go first."

Because there was still something to do, Gu Yuan and Xuanyuan Chen also hurriedly left Juxiangju.

"Uncle Liu, you are looking for me..."

As soon as he opened the door, he saw shopkeeper Liu who was explaining things.

"Master Qin, you are here, Xiao Wu, go down and do your work first, I will come to you later."

Telling the boy to leave first, the shopkeeper Liu stood up and closed the door, before he had time to take a sip of the herbal tea on the table.

"Young Master Qin, have you heard of the Tengxiang Pavilion?"

Looking at Qin Ziling, shopkeeper Liu said with some embarrassment.

"You mean the Tengxiang Pavilion opened by Qu Guiren's brother?"

Qin Ziling still knew a little about the Tengxiang Pavilion.Although Qu Guiren is only a noble person, he has won the emperor's favor, but it's a pity that her natal family is just an ordinary businessman, so she has always been a noble person.

I heard that Mr. Qu Gui is a low-key person, but he has an elder brother who makes trouble all day long, so although he is favored in the palace, he never makes it public.

"Yes, it is the Tengxiang Pavilion. Seeing that it opened today, so I came to the door and said that I want to buy our family's secret recipe."

Qu Guiren's older brother, Qu Jing, was spoiled by nature and caused trouble everywhere since he was a child. If it wasn't for Qu Jing, Qu Guiren would have risen even higher in these years.

A few years ago, in order to stabilize Qujing, Qu Guiren opened a Tengxiang Pavilion for him, specializing in the business of those noble ladies.

Over the years, because of Qu Guiren's hard work, Qu Jing has been quieter, and because of his sister, although his things are not the best, his business has been very good.

I had planned to live in such a stable way, but I didn't expect the business of Juxiangju to get better and better.Even those wives who live in the backyard are scrambling to buy the products of Juxiangju, so, can he not be in a hurry!

"Young Master Qin, Qu Jing has been a bit pampered since he was a child. If you don't agree to his request today, I'm afraid...Young Master Qin, there is no way to have both."

Shopkeeper Liu is indeed a little anxious. Although he has been trying to have nothing to do with Tengxiangge for so many years, it is also when there is no business conflict between them.

When Qu Jing came here again today, he was also taken aback, but he had no right to make a decision, so he hurried to find Qin Ziling.

After listening to Shopkeeper Liu's words, Qin Ziling thought about it carefully.

"Is Qujing still in Juxiangju now?"

To deal with this kind of person, the only way to deal with it is to fight hard. She, Qin Ziling, is not someone to provoke.

"Still waiting in another private room."

"Take me there, to meet this Mr. Qu for a while."

After tidying up the corners of her clothes, Qin Ziling walked out.

Seeing Qin Ziling's full confidence, shopkeeper Liu also heaved a sigh of relief.Immediately, I felt even more admiration for Qin Ziling in my heart.

"Young Master Qu?"

As soon as he opened the door, Qin Ziling saw the man pacing around the room.

"Are you... the boss of Juxiangju?"

Seeing Qin Ziling, the man stopped and looked at Qin Ziling in surprise.He didn't expect that the boss who could open two shops at the same time was so young.

"Yes, that's me. I've heard about Mr. Qu's intention to come, but I don't know what Mr. Qu's sincerity is?"

Sitting down, Qin Ziling gracefully sipped the tea on the table.

Seeing the graceful Qin Ziling, Qu Jing also began to feel uncertain.With a light cough, Qu Jing suppressed the uneasiness in his heart.

"I think you should also know Tengxiangge. I came here today just to cooperate with Mr. Qin. Don't worry, as long as Mr. Qin is willing to cooperate with Tengxiangge, the benefits will definitely be indispensable to Mr. Qin."

He felt that Qin Ziling would definitely agree given that he had the royal family as his backer.

"Young Master Qu, you want to accept Juxiangju and Women's Collection? But, what good does it do me? I'm a businessman, and I never do things that are not profitable."

Gently turning the lid of the teacup on the table, Qin Ziling spoke slowly, giving off a feeling of oppression.

Suppressing the desire to surrender in his heart, Qu Jing stabilized his mind.

"The advantage is that I have a backing, and in terms of profit, I will never treat Mr. Qin badly."

With backing again and a lot of money, Qu Jing felt that Qin Ziling would definitely agree.

Qin Ziling stopped turning the lid of the cup in his hand, and smiled softly.

"But unfortunately, I also have a backer, and it's from the royal family."

Standing up, Qin Ziling sat back on the stool.

"Mr. Qu, it's not that I don't want to be under your command, but that our master probably won't agree."

Scratching her head lightly, Qin Ziling also had a helpless expression.

"May I ask the name of the person behind Mr. Qin..."

In the capital, he could not afford to offend anyone, because of the lessons learned in the past two years, Qu Jing also began to be careful in doing things.

"His surname is Xuanyuan."

Upon hearing these two words, Qu Jing's face instantly became ugly.This royal family has a good relationship, so they are members of the royal family, and they are people he dare not provoke.

"However... If Mr. Qu wants to cooperate with us, there is no way..."

At this moment, Qin Ziling, like waiting for a prey, tempted Qu Jing step by step.

"any solution."

As soon as Qin Ziling said that it was still possible, Qu Jing was a little worried and a little excited.After all, he has also seen how popular their products are.

"It's your store that sells our products, but you don't need to change the name. It's like, we provide you with products, and the products are marked with our name, how about it?"

In comparison, although the price is not as high as the price sold directly in their store, it has a lot of connections.

Hearing Qin Ziling's words, Qu Jing's face suddenly became even uglier.But he had no way to get angry, after all, he was a person in the palace, and the people inside could crush him to death like an ant at any time.

"Okay, it's a deal. I will ask the shopkeeper of the store to discuss with shopkeeper Liu about the specific matters in the future."

It can be regarded as a smooth solution to this matter, he just waited to sit and see the result later.

But it would be great if he could get in touch with other members of the royal family, so that he could help his sister as well.

"Then Mr. Qin is busy first, and Qu will leave now."

"Shopkeeper Liu, go and see Young Master Qu off, Young Master Qu, go slowly."
