"Why?" Jin Xi tilted her head and asked bluntly. Without any intention, he would be willing to help her like this? She didn't believe it.
Yinzhen did not answer, but spread his hands innocently. Book fans also like to read: . to express his sincerity.
Well, he couldn't tell Jin Xi directly that he and she were actually "fellow countrymen". He didn't want to see the cute "fellow countryman" in front of him, and finally made some achievements, only to be raped by the prince in the palace who had an extremely corrupt private life.
I snatched it away.
Jinxi thought about it for a long time, and then remembered the advice from her cheap dad: Take your time in everything, don't rush for success. You also need to be careful in your words and deeds when meeting people, especially those in the palace, don't be greedy for small things and lose big things.
Combined with this young man who has already met several times and is only nine years old, I feel that no matter how dissident he is, he is still easier to get along with than the prince whose status is sensitive.
So he nodded, "We have to write it clearly in black and white. Even if you are the fourth brother, you can't cheat."
"Of course!" Yinzhen nodded solemnly, a smile flashed in his eyes. A very bold girl, he became more and more curious about who her soul was...
After thinking about it again and again, Jinxi decided to go back and discuss it with his cheap father. Based on his decades of experience as an official in the government, he should know the temperament of Si Age.
What's more, she has to draw up a detailed cooperation contract. Not only must she protect the results of Qingsui's long-term research and development, but she must also protect the safety of herself and Ulanala Mansion. Of course, she can't let Yinzhen suffer too much, right?
!After all, once the two parties start to cooperate, if the distribution of interests is not balanced enough, the friendly and cooperative relationship will break down sooner or later.
Yinzhen gave her three days. On November 18th, he would wait for her at Xiangji.
The longer it takes, the worse it will be. Jinxi naturally understands this truth.
In fact, Yinzhen knew that the prince's second brother had already sent people to find out who was behind the honey talk. If he found out that it was just a female family member of a second-rank minister's family, he might just rush to the door and demand it by force.
I think this is how Nixiao Pavilion came to be. Unfortunately, within two years of being in his hands, Nixiao Pavilion began to decline day by day.
When Yinzhen thought about the confidential memorial that had been submitted to Huang Ama at the end of last month, which contained detailed records of the intricate and intimate relationship between Nixiao Pavilion and the prince, he didn't know what Huang Ama would think after reading it. Other book friends read it normally:
.The son who had high hopes for himself actually did such a sinister thing in private, which really brought shame to the Aisin Gioro family.
………………
"So, Fourth Brother really wants to help you?" Feiyanggu asked in disbelief after listening to his daughter's account.
"Yes, that's what he said. But, Amma, if we don't seek cooperation from the royal family, does the Crown Prince really dare to come and rob us?"
What Jinxi has never figured out is this. With Kangxi's temperament, he shouldn't allow the princes and brothers below to do whatever they want, right? Especially the prince, who is the next king of the Qing Dynasty!
Wait. Which emperor succeeded Kangxi? Hmm... She only knows that the reign name is Yongzheng... Is the name taboo...
Jinxi frowned and thought hard about the names of the emperors of the Qing Dynasty in the high school history books. In the end, she only remembered that Shunzhi was called Fulin, Kangxi was called Xuan Ye, and the last emperor was called Puyi...
As for the rest...ahem...who makes her a real history geek?
I didn't think there was anything wrong with not being good at history before. After all, she majored in science in high school and studied home economics in college, which had nothing to do with history. Now she realizes how serious a mistake her lack of knowledge is.
If she knew who the next emperor would be, she would definitely mobilize the whole family to hug each other tightly and not let go. In this way, the career of the cheap dad will be smooth sailing. Her own future should also be bright...
Eh? Isn’t she still thinking about returning to modern times day and night? How did she plan for a beautiful life in the Qing Dynasty? It’s true that the ancients have been doing this for a long time, and even her thoughts are always surrounding ancient life...
Alas, I don’t know when it will be the right time for her to let nature take its course and return to modern times...
"Take by force?" Fei Yanggu repeated his daughter's words, then shook his head and said: "In this world, is it the imperial land... If the royal family wants to expropriate private property, it will naturally have its own reasonable excuse. Our emperor is a wise king.
, who is in charge of such a huge world, how can he still have the energy to discern the subtle movements of the princes and elder brothers... I think the fourth elder brother should be a man of his word..."
Fei Yanggu's impression of the fourth prince Yinzhen was only that he was restrained and taciturn. However, now it seems that the fourth elder brother is quite enthusiastic and would pay so much attention to his daughter whom he only met a few times. Could it be that... he
Have you been watching Xi'er for a long time? Otherwise, how could you have found your daughter as soon as you learned about the prince's actions? If there is no intention, then who of those people in the palace is not the best among the best? How can there really be such a simple person?
thought?
"Amma, do you mean that we agree to cooperate with Fourth Brother?" Jinxi came back from her memory, saw Fei Yanggu frowning and hesitated, and said worriedly: "If Amma feels uneasy,
Let's just close the shop. If Qingsui is willing, we can sell the formula and get rid of it all, so that we don't have to be coveted by others!"
If the royal family really gets involved, the implications will be too wide. Not to mention that Fei Yanggu is still a second-rank minister, so it is not appropriate to handle the matter. And she and Qing Sui, one is still young and the other is an orphan, how can they be enemies?
Can you beat the Qing royal family?
As the saying goes, people have to bow their heads when they are under the eaves. She is now living in the feudal society of the Qing Dynasty, not the original 21st century society ruled by law. Jinxi comforted herself in her heart.
"That's not necessary. Since Fourth Brother has this suggestion, let's just give it a try. Otherwise, wouldn't it be slandering him? Alas, you are still too young after all, how can you understand these twists and turns..." Fei Yanggu dismissed it outright.
Jin Xi’s proposal started to ramble on, and he eloquently raised the possibility of malicious competition among high-ranking families.
Jinxi lowered her head with a blushing face and reflected. Her soul was already thirty years old. She was still being criticized by her cheap dad for being ignorant.
Also, it’s her fault that she has always had a playful attitude towards the world. Who would have allowed herself to encounter such a weird incident? Since she can pass through it, she also said she would go back through it. So she became a little unscrupulous in her temper. She even thought,
Even if her bouncing stops one day, as soon as she closes her eyes and stretches her legs, she can go back to modern times and live her happy life.
Only now do I realize that my understanding was greatly wrong. Once something happens, who can guarantee that she will be able to travel back to modern times? Who will believe that she is a modern person whose soul comes from the 21st century?
Don't be stupid! If she continues like this, there is a chance that a big knife will be smeared on her neck one day, then this life is over, and the previous life is also completely over...
Thinking of that horrifying scene, Jin Xi subconsciously touched her delicate and tender neck and couldn't help but shudder.
"Crack!"
"Ouch! It hurts... ah... amma!"
Jin Xi's head was slapped hard by Fei Yanggu's big palm, and her seven souls and six souls finally returned to their places.
"Where did you think of it?" Fei Yanggu looked at his eldest daughter, who would get into trouble from time to time, with a dumbfounded look, and glared at her with feigned annoyance: "Have you remembered what Ama just said? Just remember it.
Hurry back to the study and write!"
"Write? What to write?" Jinxi asked, rubbing her forehead in confusion.
"I have spent a long time telling you a lot of truths. Are you listening? Ah?" Fei Yanggu's gentle image was once again broken, and he almost roared towards Jin Xi.
"Listen - of course! How can you not listen to Ama's words? My daughter will go back to the small building to reflect on herself... If she doesn't reflect on herself and turns out to be an ugly Yinmao, she will be punished by drinking cold water for dinner..." Jinxi laughed and tried to please her.
Fei Yanggu slipped out of the front yard study and hurried back to the small building to reflect.
There are too many things she needs to reflect on.
Keep in mind when doing things: be low-key and low-key and then low-key...
As a human being, you must remember: Be humble and then be humble again...
The most important thing is that Miyu Aromatherapy Shop must find a strong backer. The prince's big tree attracts attention, so it is not safe... It is the fourth elder brother. Didn't the cheap dad say that the fourth elder brother is introverted and taciturn, so he must be a low-key person in the palace.
The character will not arouse too much suspicion from other people...
Alas, it is really not an easy task to live in peace and harmony in the Qing Dynasty...
Since then, Jinxi's mind was wandering at times during the Qing Dynasty, but she finally recognized the current situation and calmed down her thoughts before the crisis that Miyu Aromatherapy Shop was likely to face...
………………
When the third day arrived, Jin Xi carried the draft plan early and rushed to Xiangji Tea House with Mo'er and Jiang Rui excitedly.
"Gege, wait a minute, the master won't arrive until midnight." Luo An, the chief shopkeeper of Xiangji, greeted Jinxi to the second floor respectfully. Although the master didn't say it explicitly, Luo An could tell at a glance that the master was interested in the little boy in front of him.
What the girl values. What the master values is what they value.
"Okay. Go ahead and go. You don't have to greet us." Jin Xi raised her smiling face and nodded towards Luo An.
She also wanted to go over the draft plan that took her two nights to draw up when no one was around. She hoped that the fourth brother would not be a person who was used to finding faults in eggs.
Luo An obeyed and retreated, thinking highly of Jinxi. Over the years, no one else could treat him so politely, except for a few regular customers who knew Xiangji was his master's property.
Even some second-rate guys who don't have a lot of money in their pockets but want to have sex with Xiangji, who are very pretentious, are stupid and look down on others. It's really ridiculous!
"She's here?" A clear voice interrupted Luo An's contemplation. He looked up and saw that it was his master.
"Yes, Master, we are already in the private room upstairs."
Yinzhen nodded and took the boy upstairs. Sure enough, outside his private box, her two relatively stable maids stood obediently. They waved their hands to signal the boy to stay outside and entered the box alone.

"The contract is very detailed, but I also said that I just want to help you, and there is no need to share my dividends." Yinzhen scanned the draft plan that Jin Xidi gave him, and the detailed terms listed above made him smile.
, in the end, when she saw the profit distribution between the two parties, she was slightly surprised. She actually gave him a 40% bonus.
"Brother Si, please don't refuse in a hurry. Jin Xi has thought about it. Since it is a cooperation between the two parties, it would be unreasonable if Brother Si just pays but does not get anything in return." Jin Xi pursed her lips and smiled, explaining in a sweet voice.
If you give him 40%, he won't be able to escape his long-term involvement, right?
Yinzhen looked at her for a moment, then looked away, raised the corners of his lips, took out a gold ingot worth twelve taels from his sleeve pocket, and pushed it to Jinxi: "In that case, this
, just think of it as my investment money. I won’t take your dividends in vain.” The implication is that future dividends will be deducted from the gold ingot.
Jinxi looked back at him blankly, what was this situation? Are there really people who don't like to take advantage?
"Take it. Maybe we can cooperate next time." Yinzhen smiled slightly, and then signed his name in this world on the deed: Aixinjueluo. Yinzhen, and sealed it and carried it with him.
The big seal seemed to have been prepared a long time ago.
Jinxi stared at the name and recited it silently several times. It felt familiar, but she couldn't tell where it was.
In the end, he had to carefully fold one of the deeds and put it into the purse in his arms together with the gold ingot. He pushed the other one to Yinzhen and suggested with a sweet smile: "I wonder if Fourth Brother is willing to give me the favor?"
, would Jinxi have the honor to treat you to lunch?"
Having settled the important matter on her mind, Yinzhen became much more pleasing to Jinxi. Besides, Jinxi always regarded Yinzhen as a little younger brother in her heart, so she always reminded her of the honorifics in her words before she could remember them.
"Next time. There is a chance. I am in a hurry to return to the palace. By the way, I will sell you a few more snack recipes of 'Language of Fruit'. For more details, you can talk to shopkeeper Luo, book fans.
Also like to read:.”
"Shopkeeper Luo?" Jinxi blinked in confusion. It wasn't until Luo An was called into the room by Yinzhen that Jinxi learned that Xiangji turned out to be Yinzhen's property. No wonder he wanted to ask her to buy cake recipes and pastries.
Heart recipe. The specialty dim sum of this teahouse is one of the main factors that attracts customers.
At this time, Jinxi finally understood the reason why Yinzhen asked her to cooperate. Once the cooperation started, even if he was not interested in Miyu, "Guozhiyu" had a lot of new snacks, almost two or three every month.
A new kind of dim sum is on the market. Not to mention that Yinzhen bought it from her. Even if he asked her for a few, she would give them generously. Who knows that the two of them are already partners. Occasionally give a "gift"
That’s what it should be, right?
Jinxi really wants to grind her teeth, wow, you cunning fourth brother! It’s in vain that I have been so considerate for you, and insisted on giving you 40% of the shares as if I was afraid that you would suffer a loss, but you actually beat up your aunt a long time ago
What an idea! The cheap dad was indeed right, these people in the palace are the best among the best!
At this time, she had completely forgotten that Yinzhen had also taken out a shining gold ingot that was enough to buy her Sweet Talk Aromatherapy Shop and all its formulas, as well as much more!
"Ahem... don't get me wrong. The recipe will never be shared with others. Xiangji only provides it to guests who come to drink tea and order it during the meal. Your 'Fruit Language' will not be affected. If it is affected, I will
I think it’s also a good thing. Haven’t you noticed? Since Xiang Kee launched cakes, the business of your small shop has improved a lot. Many people came to your shop for takeout after learning about this pastry from Xiang Kee.
of."
After Yinzhen said this, Jinxi also had some realization. Indeed, since trading cake recipes with him, the business of "Guozhiyu" suddenly became a lot busier. Is this really the case? Xiangji is promoting it for her? But like this
First of all, what are the benefits to him?
"Mutual benefit." Yinzhen smiled slyly, replied to her, and left Xiangji first.
Jinxi rolled her eyes speechlessly. Although she didn't think it through completely, she still agreed to sell two snack recipes to Xiangji first as a reward for Yinzhen's help.
I hope that with his blessing, both the "word of fruit" and the "word of honey" can go smoothly and make a lot of money! (To be continued)
