Chapter 975 Meeting with the messenger
Sister Feng smiled and poured Zhou Xian a cup of tea, saying softly: "Why did you think of coming to the little girl to treat her? As far as I know, this is the first time!"
Zhou Xianxiao said, "Didn't this think that Manager Feng is too busy and doesn't want to disturb you? The guests he invited this time are quite special and it is difficult to entertain at home, so he thought of you. And I heard that Shuyu Pavilion is currently the number one in Jinan, so I also want to see how it is different from before."
Feng Sanjie currently manages the operations of all grain stores for Zhou Xian. With her efforts, although the grain prices in Shandong fluctuated, they have been maintained within an acceptable range. In terms of talent in this area, Zhou Xian has not seen anyone better than her yet. Zhou Xian respects her very much.
Sister Feng tilted her body, held her face with her right palm, and looked at Zhou Xianjiao with a pair of apricot eyes and said, "Your Madam seems to be a little insincere! I heard that it is because I have a lovely little chef in my family. Because you spoil her alone, you will not be able to touch flowers and twist grass outside."
Zhou Xian was stunned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly, "Who is this being spread by me?"
Feng Sanjie smiled and said, "Everyone is so preached. But as the saying goes, flowers in the family are not as fragrant as wild flowers. If you want to taste a different taste one day, there are many good girls here."
Zhou Xianzheng was drinking tea, and after hearing her words, he almost spit out. He coughed twice, slowly put down the teacup, and calmed his mind. He turned his head to look at Feng Sanjie, his eyes filled with smiles. His eyes looked at her from top to bottom. After a while, his body suddenly leaned forward, his cheeks were less than three inches away from Feng Sanjie, and he could feel the breath they exhaled from each other.
Sister Feng was shocked and wanted to retreat, but Zhou Xian grabbed her hand and neck.
Zhou Xian smiled evilly and said, "It smells so good! Is Feng Sanjie talking about a good girl like himself?" As he said that, he leaned forward even more, and the two of them were about to get in touch.
Sister Feng was embarrassed, her face flushed, and her body kept tilting backwards. At this time, Zhou Xian suddenly let go of her hand, leaving her with a confused look on her face.
Zhou Xian looked at Feng Sanjie with a smile and thought to herself that women are thin-skinned after all, and compared with men, they can't even lose face.
Feng Sanjie instantly realized that Zhou Xian was joking with her, and she suddenly felt a little lost. After a long time of elegance, she was bullied by a young boy in the end. Could it be that he is old and even this little attraction is gone?
Zhou Xian didn't know what Sister Feng was thinking and said, "I won't joke with you. The set of porcelain I sent someone a few days ago can still be your eye?"
Sister Feng nodded, remembered something instantly, and said with a smile: "Porcelain is a good porcelain, I like it very much. When King De came here, he wanted to ask for it, but I didn't want to give it to him."
Zhou Xian patted his forehead and said, "Oh! Why did I forget King De? Don't worry, I will send someone to Prince De's mansion tomorrow."
Feng Sanjie smiled and said, "Then I have thanked the Lord on behalf of King De. You also know that King De has such a soft temperament and keeps all the small things in his heart. No matter how good the porcelain is, he has the Lord De Mansion, mainly the heart of the Lord. He is a real person. If the Lord can treat him with sincerity, he will naturally not hinder the Lord from doing your big things."
Zhou Xian nodded, "What Manager Feng reminded me is that I am not considering it well. You tell King De for me that I have always remembered him about the fact that he welcomed our army into Jinan City. I am not a stingy person. As long as I don't touch my bottom line, I will not do anything out of order. Besides, he is still a vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, and I can't help him relax. But my current situation is indeed difficult. If he is willing, he can invest some money in those newly built shops and factories. On the one hand, help me improve the situation in Shandong as soon as possible and give kindness to the people of Shandong. On the other hand, he can also make some money. I will be grateful for this."
Sister Feng nodded and said, "I will tell Your Highness your words."
Zhou Xian looked at her and couldn't help but smile and said, "I really envy King De. He has a confidante who is as capable as you and can always consider him. In my opinion, he should have given you a title long ago."
Sister Feng was obviously stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "Who hopes for my origin is such a good name?"
Seeing that Sister Feng looked sad, Zhou Xian originally planned to comfort her. But when he spoke, he didn't know what to say. When he was embarrassed, there was a shouting sound from the outside, and it was the two guests he invited to come. "Shopkeeper Feng, then I'll go there first."
Feng Sanjie nodded and watched Zhou Xian leave. She walked towards the cabinet next to her, took out a bronze mirror, and looked at herself seriously inside. She was still so beautiful with willow-leaf eyebrows, apricot-shaped eyes, and melon-shaped face, but her eyebrows were frowning, and there was a little more inexplicable sorrow.
Zhou Xian walked into the private room, and the three of them sat down in the main and secondary positions. Various dishes had already been placed on the table.
The envoy sent from Brunei was a Han man with surname Huang and named Dewang, and was a Brunei nobleman. The envoy of Sulu was named Bangkadi, who was a close minister of Sulu Sultan. He had gone to Manila many times to negotiate with the Spanish, and had contact with the Han people who went there. Both of them knew Chinese and had no problem with normal communication.
Zhou Xian smiled and said to the two: "I know that both countries believe in Islam and the food prepared is in line with the teachings, so you can eat it with confidence."
Huang Dewang clasped his fists and said, "The adults are intent. It's just that the villain is a Han Chinese and does not believe in Islam. And Bangkadi is not a strict Islamic believer and is not very timid about food. It's just that the adults can consider this for the villain, which really touched us."
The two of them had heard Ma Shao talk about Zhou Xian before, but they had never seen him after coming to Shandong. At first, they were obviously surprised to see Zhou Xian so young. But after all, his official position was there, so the two of them were very humble.
Seeing Bongkadi nodding, Zhou Xian lamented, "What a pity, many of the signature dishes here have not been served. But it doesn't matter. When I see the two messengers off tomorrow, I will make up for you. Come on, get the chopsticks and try whether the dishes here are suitable for you or not."
