Chapter 655: Visiting the Prime Minister’s Mansion
It was not until noon that Cao Bailu appeared in front of people again.
Zhao Kang only glanced at it and turned away, because Cao Bailu had changed his clothes and had obviously just taken a shower.
Seeing Zhao Kang, Cao Bailu also blushed, but thinking of what Zhou Ming said, she came to sit across from him.
Zhao Kang coughed dryly and said, "Morning."
Cao Bailu immediately glared at him, and then said, "Zhou Ming said that his mother invited you to be a guest at the Prime Minister's Mansion."
When talking about business, Zhao Kang felt much less embarrassed and asked doubtfully, "Going to the Prime Minister's Mansion as a guest?"
"Yes, from what Zhou Ming said, it seems that he told his family about our cooperation with him." .??.
Cao Bailu said, "His mother is worried about him, so she wants to see you as a partner."
"That's it."
Zhao Kang thought for a while and said, "I guess the main reason is that Zhou Ming's guards reported to us about beating Zhou Ming yesterday, so Zhou Ming's mother is a little worried."
"So what are you going to do?"
Zhao Kang smiled and said, "Of course I have to go there. Shopkeeper Ma picked out ten pieces of fragrant skin jade and a bottle of perfume, and packed them in a gift box."
"Okay boss."
Cao Bailu nodded, "Since the other party is Zhou Ming, I must have known a lot of ladies from the imperial capital. Compared to Zhou Ming, she has a wider network of contacts."
"That's right, then I'll leave first."
Cao Bailu: “Don’t you want me to go?”
"You'd better find out more about the situation in Shengjing City. I'm enough there."
While they were talking, shopkeeper Ma had already packed and prepared the things Zhao Kang wanted. Carrying the gift box, Zhao Kang hurried out of the door, as if avoiding Cao Bailu.
I sent Zhou Ming to the Prime Minister's Mansion yesterday, and he is already familiar with it.
exactly
One of the guards guarding the door today is the person who followed Zhou Ming to the shop yesterday.
Seeing Zhao Kang coming, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Boss Ba, you are finally here."
Zhao Kang was surprised, "What's wrong?"
"My young master has asked you six or seven times if you are here. He wants to go to the shop to find you again." The guard said respectfully.
"That's it, please lead the way." Zhao Kang said with a smile.
The guard led the way, walking in the corridor and looking at the rockery pavilions around him. Zhao Kang couldn't help but think of the woman last night, so don't bump into her.
Upon arriving at Zhou Ming's courtyard, Zhao Kang heard Zhou Ming's impatient voice before he walked in.
"Oh mother, how many times have I told you that Ba Ba is a good guy! Can a bad guy give me a thousand taels of silver as soon as we meet him?"
"If he beat me, it was because I wanted to take over his shop first!"
"Okay, okay, I'm too lazy to tell you. You'll know when you meet Ba Ba. It's so easy for a kid to make up his mind to do something. What are you nagging about all day long?"
Zhao Kang smiled heartily, this boy is quite rebellious.
He walked into the courtyard, and the guard said, "Master, the boss is here."
Zhou Ming in front turned around in surprise, "Ba Ba, you're here!"
Zhao Kang smiled and said hello, and turned his gaze away. As a result, the smile on his face suddenly froze.
…
Still wearing the dark red satin brocade dress, the woman looks very beautiful, with a pair of willow-leaf eyebrows and fox-like eyes, and a beauty mark on the lower corner of her cheeks and lips, which adds a lot of charm to her.
I'm looking up and down at the moment
Zhao Kang, a strange color flashed in his eyes, he was such a handsome man.
I originally thought he was some kind of gangster who was running rampant, but he turned out to be quite brilliant.
As for Zhao Kang, he didn't know what to say anymore. This Zhou Ming's mother was clearly the woman he had secretly seen last night, who rewarded him late at night.
Just looking at his appearance, he should be in his early thirties, and he looks very good.
Zhou Ming was sixteen or seventeen years old, which means that this woman was only fifteen or sixteen years old when she married Zhou Yue.
It's really nothing unusual in this day and age.
The last time I saw Zhou Yue, he was no longer young. He was probably almost sixty now.
It’s probably useless!
When he thought about it, Zhao Kang understood that the old gun was useless, but women were at their most powerful age.
No wonder the voice was so resentful last night.
"Ba Ba, what's wrong with you?"
Zhou Ming called out, pulling Zhao Kang back from his thoughts, and he hurriedly said, "It's nothing."
Zhao Kang quickly stepped forward and saluted the woman, "I've met Madam before you."
"Are you Ba Ba?" Song Qingyan said softly, with a bit of arrogance in her tone.
Zhao Kang wiped the tip of his nose to hide his smile, "It's just me. It's not respectful to give a small gift. I hope Madam will accept it."
"Ba Ba, come on, what gifts do you bring? You don't treat me as a brother, do you?"
Zhou Ming interrupted at this time, and after letting the guards go down, he pulled Zhao Kang to sit down, pointed at Zhao Kang excitedly and said, "Mom, he is Ba Ba, a businessman from Jingguo."
Song Qingyan hummed after hearing this, and then said to Zhou Ming, "Tomorrow, go and see how the kitchen is preparing. Since there are guests, the meals will naturally be abundant."
You have to treat the distinguished guests well, so keep an eye on them."
Zhou Ming didn't think much about it. He said hello and said to Zhao Kang, "Ba Ba, please sit down first. Let's have a drink later."
"Okay." Zhao Kang nodded.
As soon as Zhou Ming left, the atmosphere in the courtyard became uncomfortable.
Song Qingyan's eyes were a bit contemptuous: "Are you from Jingguo?"
"To tell you the truth, madam, I am from Jingguo."
Song Qingyan snorted, "Why do people from Jingguo come to our Qiguo to do business and win over my son? You are very brave!"
Zhao Kang chuckled lightly when he heard this and said, neither humble nor arrogant, "Madam, I'm just a businessman. As long as it's profitable and profitable, I'm willing to try it no matter where or who I am."
Dai Mei frowned, and Song Qingyan scolded, "Hmph, do you know what it is to beat up the prime minister's son? My son is young, and he was fooled by you with just a few words, and he will not be held accountable, but I am not easy to fool!" Don’t even think about using my son to make a profit!”
Zhao Kang laughed dumbly and looked at Song Qingyan, "Madam, what you said is serious. Master Zhou Ming and I have never known each other before, and now our hostility has turned into friendship. To put it bluntly, it may not be easy for Madam to hold me accountable." , Since I come from Jingguo, have you heard that martial arts is a common practice in Jingguo, and even a seven-year-old child can do some fists and kicks?"
Seeing Zhao Kang poke a hole in the stone table with two fingers, Song Qingyan's face suddenly turned pale, "You are threatening me!"
"It's just stating the facts."
Zhao Kang smiled and said, "Madam, please don't be surprised. This is a gift I prepared for you. This is Qianguo Fragrant Skin Jade."
Zhao Kang said as he opened the first gift box and took out ten beautifully packaged soaps.
Hearing the words Xiang Skin Jade, the unhappy expression on Song Qingyan's face softened.
