Chapter 16 The Duke is in good health

Lin Yunyan stood still and looked up at the shop sign.

There are three big characters in the letter, Taohezhai.

She had heard of this place, but it was her first time coming back.

When she heard the name of this shop, it had already changed hands for two years.

Looking further up, the second-floor window facing the street is half open.

"Third Master, County..." Chen Gui paused for a moment and simply changed it to make sure it was correct, "Sir, that noble man has already arrived."

Lin Xun nodded: "Have you seen him?"

Chen Gui said softly: "He seems to have gone upstairs from the back door of the shop. I didn't see him."

Lin Xun touched his beard.

One party goes forward and the other party goes behind, that's fine, it doesn't make any difference.

As for the origin of the other party, I'm curious now anyway. A moment earlier or a moment later, it doesn't matter much.

Lin Yunyan walked behind Lin Xun and entered the shop.

Jing Daguan was waiting at the entrance of the stairs. He had already heard Xu Jian tell the identity of the visitor, and made a gesture to invite him upstairs.

Then, he saw Lin Yunyan's brows frowning.

Seems dissatisfied?

Jing Dafan glanced at his round belly.

Do you think he is blocking the road?

Yes, it's just such a narrow opening, and his fat figure is standing here...

The elders are more casual, and it doesn't matter if they squeeze in or bump into each other, but this is the princess, and even though she is wearing men's clothes, she is still a delicate girl.

Jing Da was enlightened. Since he couldn't move his seat underneath, he raised his feet and led the way: "The steps are a bit steep, noble man, be careful where you step."

Squeak——

Squeak——

When the nobles all went upstairs, Jing Dafan took another look and saw that the princess's face became even darker.

Could it be that the princess doesn't like climbing stairs?

Lin Yunyan reached out and rubbed her eyebrows.

Xu Jian is really amazing.

If your legs are not broken and you can walk, can you walk up such stairs casually?

Chen Gui said that this shop has a backyard, so there will be a house. Obviously, the meeting place can be set on the ground, but you have to climb a flight of stairs.

Based on her understanding of Xu Jian, this is most likely a test, to see how she reacts to "climbing stairs". The greater the reaction, the less blind she is.

Lin Yunyan could guess that she felt unhappy.

It's best that Xu Jian is a blind cat, but he bumped into a dead mouse and caused a mistake.

If not, she would have thought about it carefully when she had the chance. How could she have gone through so much trouble with her injured leg?

Jing Dafan knocked on the door.

Soon, the door was opened from the inside.

The person who opened the door was a young boy.

When Lin Xun saw it, he felt much more at ease. Yun Yan said that the other party was a junior, so she really didn't lie to him.

The boy got out of the way, and Lin Xun entered the private room. He looked up and saw the people standing at the round table, and swallowed the word "nephew" hard.

Young, yes.

Juniors, that’s right too.

But he is the Duke of Fuguo!

Lin Xun is just the younger brother of an uncle!

Can you shamelessly call someone a "nephew"?

Lin Yunyan took a step forward, lowered her eyes, and said lightly: "The Duke is in good health."

Lin Xun was also about to salute, but when he suddenly heard this sentence, he couldn't help but glance at Xu Jian's legs.

When greeting the Duke of Fuguo, can you say "be well"?

How could something like this happen to Yun Yan?

"Third Master, Princess," Xu Jian returned the greeting, "Please take a seat."

Lin Xun was still thinking about the question just now, so he ignored the fact that Xu Jian recognized Lin Yunyan at a glance, said a few polite words, and sat down.

The boy came forward to serve tea.

Lin Yunyan is no stranger to him.

His name is Shen Chen, and he is one of the two personal followers chosen by Xu Jian's grandfather for him. They grew up together since childhood.

In the past, Lin Yunyan was not good at martial arts and Xu Jian was not good at walking. If Shen Chen and Xuan Su were not there to protect them, they would have lost their lives long ago.

It's a pity that under such conspiracy, they finally failed to pull out the trick.

Shen Chen and Xuan Su were killed one after another, and she and Xu Jian were trapped in the fire...

Thinking of this, Lin Yunyan turned to look at Xu Jian.

Xu Jian looked calm, but Lin Yunyan didn't see a single clue from his face.

He noticed Lin Yunyan looking at her, raised her eyebrows, and looked back with a half-smile.

Lin Yunyan felt a little surprised in her heart.

In her memory, it seemed that she had never seen Xu Jian with such an expression.

Except when she couldn't reach an agreement with the Liu family, Xu Jian had always been steady and restrained.

The Empress Dowager also said that after all, Xu Jian inherited the title of Duke and was calm beyond his years.

Words like frivolous, flamboyant, and unbridled have never been applied to Xu Jian.

The Xu Jian in front of her actually made her feel strange.

Xu Jian had no intention of continuing the lawsuit. He took a sip of tea and said straight to the point: "Since Uncle Chengyi is interested in participating in the business in Laoshi Lane, he should have some insights, right?"

Lin Xun said: "The government has discussed this alley before..."

"I can't talk about opinions," Lin Yunyan interrupted Lin Xun, "The Duke originally wanted to buy an alley with his family, right?

Since you are so generous, you already have a plan on how to make money in the future.

We are just sharing a piece of the pie. The Duke of Guo pays the big share and we pay the small share. Naturally, your opinion will prevail.

Right, uncle?"

Lin Xun nodded quickly: "Yes!"

I almost forgot just now, he is just a companion, Yun Yan comes to discuss business, and he cannot overstep his authority.

Xu Jian's eyes turned between Lin Xun and Lin Yunyan.

"Is it making money..." Xu Jian laughed and said, "To be honest with you two, I didn't think about making money when I bought Laoshi Alley. I resigned from the Ministry of War and I have nothing to do on weekdays. I just bought an alley. I don't

I’m short of money, and I don’t care how many years it takes for Lao Shih Lane to recover its capital. It doesn’t matter if I lose money. Does your government have the same plan as me?”

Lin Xun's scalp went numb after hearing this.

He had never dealt with Xu Jian before and had only heard some rumors, none of which were "dandy behavior".

Could it be said that injury changes a person's temperament?

wrong.

This move is not considered a dandy. Buying land, buying land and buying a shop is a serious business, and it is not a cockfight or a cricket fight, where the money disappears as soon as one comes in and out of a gambling house.

It's just that it doesn't quite fit in with their sincere uncle's intentions.

However, this makes their ideas even more valuable.

The articles of association have been drawn up, and the business can be done easily, and it is easy to make money from the business, and Fu Guogong should not refuse it.

"In that case..." Lin Yunyan pretended to think about it, and then said, "You are willing to discuss with us because you have the idea of ​​​​forging a good relationship. I would like to ask shamelessly, can the Duke send the Buddha to the west and buy it in another alley?

"

As soon as these words came out, not to mention how Xu Jian felt, not only Lin Xun's scalp was numb, but his whole body was also numb.

How shameless is this?

You can't say this even if you apply ten layers of skin to the city wall.

Fortunately, my mother was not present. If she had been told to listen, she would probably have her breath stuck in her throat.

It's really weird today. Xu Jian is different from the rumors. Yun Yan walked into this private room and spoke with a stick and a gun, which is different from her usual.

Is this how we have to talk about business?

Although he doesn't have much experience, he has run errands and done things for his brother. I have never seen anything like this.

I'm afraid the Duke of Fu will not be happy after hearing this request.

I saw Xu Jian leaning back in the chair: "What if I don't change?"

"Then let Chen Gui discuss how to make money with the Jingdong family," Lin Yunyan answered matter-of-factly, "You can just be a hands-off shopkeeper."

Thanks to the official girlfriend of book friend Xu Bicheng. I am the sister. I only read the book and do not leave any comments.
