Forced marriage: ruffian king, I will not marry

Chapter 45

Facing Shangguan Xi's sneer, Bai Qian smiled and said, "Didn't Miss San also say that? Since we can't achieve our goal, let's just treat it as a good show for Miss San."

"Hmph, the show wasn't exciting, I regret coming."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked away lightly, as if she didn't want to say another word to Pei Jian.The light blue figure gradually merged into the dark blue night sky and disappeared, and Bae Chan still stood on the branch, watching the figure disappear.

It’s rainy in summer. After a shower early in the morning, it began to rain lightly, drop by drop from the eaves along the gully, and lightly hit the watery ground. The crisp sound is annoyance. It touched people's hearts, but it was still quiet and irritable.

The Xianwang Mansion was much quieter in the rain. In the study, Pei Yu finished replying the last secret letter in his hand and rubbed his forehead. At this time, Pei Yu looked tired, without the slightest bit of ruffian in the usual way. Sample.

Before the door was closed, Shen Jun walked in, seeing Pei Yu's eyes closed, thinking that he was taking a nap, so he quietly wanted to put the refreshments on the table and left.

"Has anything happened in Gancheng recently?"

Unexpectedly, Pei Yu would speak suddenly, Shen Jun was startled, and then said: "No, no."

"Tell the truth." Pei Yu put down his hands and opened his eyes. Even though his face looked haggard, his eyes were still dazzlingly bright as usual.

Shen Jun lowered his eyes, "Master, you said that you don't want to hear anything about Shangguan Xi these two days."

That is, something about Shangguan Xi happened.Pei Yu sat up straight, with slanted eyes, "Two days have already passed, if you have anything to say, hurry up!"

"Uncle Huang! Uncle Huang!" Just as Shen Jun was hesitating, he saw that someone had already rushed in.

Pei Xiao hastily put away the oil-paper umbrella in his hand, because of his reckless actions, the hem of his clothes was darkened by the rain.Regardless of the hair sticking to his forehead with water, he walked quickly to Pei Yu's side with a smile, and was about to chatter excitedly.

Pei Yu knew that he would not be able to stop once he opened his mouth, so he stopped him in time, then turned to Jun Shen and said, "Back off."

Shen Jun glanced at Pei Xiao with a complex expression, and had no choice but to say yes and go out.

"What's wrong with Shen Jun? Don't you welcome me?" Pei Xiao looked at Shen Jun's back in doubt, and sat down while looking for a seat.

"It's not a day or two since she doesn't want to see you." Pei Yu said coolly, and then saw that guy's rain-stained butt was about to land on the chair, and slapped it across the air, "Sit for me." on the ground!"

The palm wind easily shook Pei Xiao's body, he wobbled a few times, and finally fell to the ground with an "Ah yo".

He stood up while rubbing his buttocks, "Uncle Huang, I'm here to tell you something interesting, yet you treat me like this."

Interesting things?It must be about Shangguan Xi, since it was not a bad thing, Pei Yu secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"Say what you want to say quickly." After a pause, he continued: "Take off your outer robe and sit down."

Pei Xiao pouted, took off his coat and sat down obediently, but this did not affect his mood of telling stories.Before sitting down, he opened his mouth without stopping.

"Uncle Huang, you would never have guessed that Shangguan Xi was originally a prodigy in business. Her business prodigy has been spread all over Gancheng these days! It is said that she suddenly lost money in the business meeting for more than [-] years. They took over all the shops, saying that they would bring them back to life within three days. How is this possible? No one believed it, and neither did I, hey, do you believe it, Uncle Huang?"

When Pei Xiao talked about being excited, he took on the spirit of a storyteller and whetted his appetite.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Seeing Pei Yu's serious expression, Pei Xiao didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and said obediently: "Anyway, I'm surprised that she was able to get the shopkeeper of Huiyuan Bank to agree to transfer 10 taels of silver to that place in just one night. Jiayifeng bank turnover, and then Shangguanxi listed several convincing rules, increasing the interest rate of silver for banknotes by [-]%, so that everyone is eager to deposit their silver in Yifeng on this day Qian Zhuang, just yesterday, Yifeng Bank’s income is enough to equal half a year’s income of Shangguan Family’s largest bank, Yiying Bank!”

Pei Xiao paused, saw a cup of tea in front of him, reached out and drank it in one gulp, and continued: "With the guarantee of Yifeng Bank, the other ten shops she took over immediately resumed operations, and the effect is quite good, especially It is a piano store. She adjusted the tone of all the violins in the store one by one, and the tone was better than those of the precious pianos. The ladies in the boudoir rushed to buy those pianos. It is even more exquisite, and the price has suddenly risen, and all the ladies are proud to be able to use the Qinsefang's piano. Uncle Huang, tell me how she did it!"

Although he hadn't finished talking about these things, Pei Xiao still couldn't help wanting to exchange a few words with Pei Yu, and got a surprised reaction from his face.

But to his disappointment, Pei Yu was not surprised, but just smiled meaningfully, "I'm afraid it's not the size of the ability, but the solidity of the background, the centipede is dead but not stiff, Fu Palace once dominated the world , even after a great setback, but still will not be stumped by these small things."

"Ah? Fu Palace? This... What's the matter with Shangguanxi Guanfu Palace?" Pei Yujiang put down the dry cup, licked his lips, and asked in surprise.

"I don't know, what kind of connection is there between them..." Pei Yu changed his gaze and said to himself, "I'm also very curious."

Pei Xiao frowned and looked at Pei Yu's distracted look, and shook his head, anyway, he couldn't understand what Pei Yu said, so he just changed the subject and said, "Uncle Huang, don't go and see that Shangguan Xi is busy. Those shops? In the past two days, the third brother has been taking care of him closely!"

"Oh? What kind of caring method?"

Seeing that Pei Yu raised his eyebrows and looked over again, Pei Xiao adjusted his sitting posture again, and said: "There is a lot of care, let's talk about the deposit of money in Yifeng Bank. The third brother took the lead and saved 1 taels of silver, and the third brother took the lead. Naturally, everyone was relieved to follow. Today, I bought a batch of stringed pianos in Qinsefang and gave them to all the ladies in the palace. It seems that all the ladies praised the sound of the piano! This publicity is really helpful. Shangguan Xi is very busy!"

Pei Yu's eyes deepened, "It's very intentional."

Pei Xiao moved closer, "Then let's go now! Although it's raining outside, the streets are still bustling. I want to see how her other shops are doing now."

Glancing at Pei Xiao, Pei Yu stood up and left, "Who told you that I'm going, I won't go! You have to see for yourself!"

Looking at Pei Yu's back, which was cloudy and uncertain, Pei Xiao was stunned for a while, then pinched his nose helplessly, "Then I won't tell you after I've finished reading, hum!"
