Zhao Ning's eyes were bright and clean, like a clear and flat lake.
But Du Xuan was shaking again and again.
I don’t know if he has followed his master, but Du Xuan doesn’t like to talk to others about many uncertain things or things that have not yet been accomplished in the past few years.
If it were anyone else, he would be able to refuse cleanly and straightforwardly, and would never be ambiguous when encountering unpleasant things, but when it comes to Zhao Ning, he needs to think carefully about his words.
"The young master's plan...actually I don't know either." Since Shen Lie was not here anyway, Du Xuan directly blamed him, "He doesn't want to say anything to us."
"Shen Lie won't tell you?"
"Well, the young master is very thoughtful and thoughtful. He won't tell us anything he's not sure about."
"It's something to be sure of," Zhao Ning became interested, "In other words, Shen Lie has a plan? Isn't he just complacent with the status quo?"
"Agree with the status quo?" Du Xuan raised his eyebrows lightly, "How is that possible? The young master is so majestic and passionate, so why should he settle for the status quo?"
"No, no, I don't mean that Mr. Shen doesn't want to make progress and is content in a corner. It's just that he is too indifferent and has no fight with the world."
"Yes," Du Xuan sighed softly, "Young Master has a noble character, like a jade pot with ice and jade, and his heart is unrivaled."
"But now, what sure thing will Shen Lie do?"
"Well," Du Xuan said with an innocent look: "Madam Zhao, do you have anything you want my young master to help you with? If so, you can just ask."
"...No, I just care about Mr. Shen."
"Du thanked Mrs. Zhao on behalf of my young master." Du Xuan bowed respectfully.
"..."
Manager Chu stood by the door and shook his head.
Obviously, this guy named Du is going to do Tai Chi again.
Seeing that the other party refused to say anything, Zhao Ning stopped asking any more questions and instead asked if there was any trouble on the way.
Du Xuan got excited when talking about this, talking about everything from what he saw and learned to his cultural origins.
Zhao Ning was so enthusiastic that he couldn't resist it. He raised his hand to call Manager Chu in by the door and asked Manager Chu to chat with Du Xuan.
Finally, when talking about the situation in Youzhou, Manager Chu smiled and said: "Miss Ali has set up camp in a mountain in Youzhou. Manager Wang's goods were only delivered yesterday. There is a lot of food and daily needs."
Du Xuan nodded, thoughtfully.
"Is Director Du going to Youzhou this time just for Ah Li's business?" Zhao Ning asked.
"Well," Du Xuan responded, thought for a while, and said, "Madam Zhao, I suddenly want to buy some shops in Hengxiang. Do you think you can help me?"
"suddenly?"
"Um."
Manager Chu said softly: "Manager Du, it seems that because of Miss Ali, Hengxiang's shops are not cheap right now."
Ever since Xia Zhaoyi asked the storyteller to reveal that she would protect Dongping Academy with all her strength and that she was incompatible with those who were enemies of Dongping Academy, the entire situation in Hengxiang seemed to have changed.
Those storytellers made a living by their eloquence, and their superb words and colorful descriptions were eventually passed down orally among the people, making Hengxiang the most stable place in the world today.
In this way, she single-handedly made Hengxiang's shop and main house grow.
"Oh, it doesn't matter," Du Xuan said, "just buy two more big houses. The young master will go to explore the state, and it will be convenient to have a residence in Hengxiang."
"...How about you write a letter to discuss this with Mr. Shen?" Manager Chu said kindly.
"It's okay, I can make the decision," Du Xuan said with a smile, "In this regard, the young master usually lets me do it."
"Then he's really big-hearted," Manager Chu said, half jokingly, half teasingly, "He's not afraid that Manager Du will mess up."
“If you mess around again, it’s just a few small coins, it’ll be fine!”
"..."
Yi Qiu was standing by, looking at Manager Chu's expression, and chuckled softly.
Zhao Ning also laughed and said: "Shen Langjun comes from Yunliang. The wealth of the Shen family in Yunliang can make the Zhao family in Huzhou kneel down and call their ancestors. When Mr. Shen came to Huzhou, my father was so shameless in seeking business in Yunliang. It's stuck to the ground. It's worse than a dog."
"Haha." Du Xuan laughed as well. The praise he received from Yun Liang had nothing to do with him, nor did it have much to do with Shen Lie.
"I have to leave tomorrow," Du Xuan said, "Today, I will trouble Mrs. Zhao."
"It's easy to say," Zhao Ning smiled, a little unwilling to give up, and said, "I heard that my men caught up with Mr. Shen on the road to the west. I wonder where Mr. Shen is going next?"
"..."
After a pause, Du Xuan could only say: "My young master is going to explore the state."
"Tanzhou?" Zhao Ning raised her eyebrows lightly, "Tanzhou Lin family is preparing for the war with Wanghua. Does Shen Langjun's visit have something to do with it?"
"..."
Du Xuan didn't want to lie anymore, so he nodded bravely.
"That's great," Zhao Ning suddenly smiled, "Shen Lie's move can be regarded as 'joining the world'."
Du Xuanpi curled his lips with a smile and raised his hand to drink tea.
"Pearls should not be covered in dust," Zhao Ning sighed softly, "Shen Langjun's sword will be unsheathed, and he will definitely do something in the future. If I tell Ah Li, Ah Li will be very happy."
"No," Du Xuan said hurriedly, "Mrs. Zhao, don't mention it."
"Why?"
"Well, I haven't even finished my horoscope yet, so don't expect too much from the young master. The young master can't bear this the most in his life. I, I..." Du Xuan didn't know how to continue.
Zhao Ning nodded and looked at Manager Chu: "Go and look at the shop and inquire about the house for sale. Manager Du will leave tomorrow. We will try our best to settle the matter today."
"yes."
"Guanshi Du," Zhao Ning looked back at Du Xuan, apologetically, "I was rude just now. Since you don't want Ah Li to know, I won't tell you. To make amends, I'll give Guanshi Du a chessboard."
Du Xuan wanted to refuse, but the chessboard made his heart move again.
Zhao Ning stood up and said with a smile: "Steward Du, follow me."
Du Xuan thought for a while, but he might as well take a look.
If you can't accept it, then you definitely won't accept it...
The sky is clear and the streets are beginning to flourish.
Yiqiu supported Zhao Ning and led Guanshi Du through the corridor on the second floor and walked towards the other side.
Perpendicular to the alley behind them, a pair of master and servant were heading straight towards the road ahead.
When they arrived at a small courtyard, the master and servant stopped.
"That's it." Cao Yu said.
Bian Yuanfeng looked at the slightly dilapidated wooden door in front of him and said in a deep voice: "Knock on the door."
"Yes!" Cao Yu stepped forward and knocked on the door.
After a while, the wooden door was opened.
Zai Chun poked out a pair of eyes and looked at the visitor warily.
The master and the servant are tall, one is strong and the other is thin. The young one is really good-looking, with thin skin and tender flesh.
"Who...are you looking for?" Zai Chun asked.
Bian Yuanfeng glanced at Cao Yu. Cao Yu understood and suddenly pushed the door open. Before Zai Chun could scream, he reached out and covered her mouth tightly.
Bian Yuanfeng stepped into the hospital with one step and closed the door behind him with his hind legs.
"We are not here to cause trouble. It is best to be honest," Cao Yu looked at the thin woman who was imprisoned by him, "cooperate obediently, or I will chop off both of your hands!"
