Dressed as cannon fodder, fake daughter, she worked hard

Chapter 257 Long-lost title

Leaving aside the result of the negotiation between the two, let's just say that during the past four months, Fumantang's business has almost plummeted.

If something like this happens to a restaurant, if the follow-up public opinion work is not done well, the source of customers will naturally be lost quickly.

But Jiang Xian didn't have the slightest intention to do public opinion work.

Since August, she has wandered around the towns and counties near Linyi to collect the information she needs, leaving shopkeeper Luo alone in a hurry.

It wasn't until the beginning of November, I don't know how many times I received letters from shopkeeper Luo, that Jiang Xian sent someone to send a message back.

Shopkeeper Luo, who received the message, followed the instructions and went to the box where Jiang Xian often stayed, and found two pieces of letter paper from the cabinet under the table.
——One is for him, tell him to send the other paper to Xie Jiawangmu, and he must hand it to Xie Wangmu himself, speak more intensely and earnestly, and show a desperate posture.

And another...

The shopkeeper took a rough look, his fingers were slightly stiff.

This is a letter for help, which describes the precarious difficulties that Fu Mantang has been unable to make ends meet these days, with tears in his voice, and a strong sense of true feelings in the plain words.

Regardless of why the owner had predicted Fumantang's future predicament four months ago, and no matter how sincere the letter was written——

just say-

In the current situation, the [-]% profit they promised Xie Wangmu has been greatly discounted, so it's fine if they don't ask them for the difference, and they will help them solve the problem? !
But no matter how full of anxiety and questions he had, Jiang Xian was not in Linyi after all, and the correspondence would take a long time, so shopkeeper Luo could only follow through.

And Jiang Xian, who was expected to come back by Shopkeeper Luo, is currently doing investigations in Wendu County.

At night, outside a certain alley in Wendu County.

As soon as Jiang Xian stepped out of the threshold, there was a strong wind blowing towards her. She instinctively dodged it, but as soon as she turned her head, she saw a young man with ordinary features coming from the darkness.

Ying Qi's forgettable face has no expression, which makes his facial features look even more ordinary: "Master said, if the girl competes with us again for Mrs. Cui, next time it won't be as simple as a slap in the face. "

Jiang Xian seemed to smile, and his cool tone almost blended with the silent night: "It can be done, let your master try it."

Although she spoke arrogantly, Ying Qi knew that she was not self-righteous.

Jiang Xian should not know martial arts, but relying on her three-legged cat posture with more than enough skills but not enough strength, she has blatantly escaped from the people under their hands many times.

It was a bit awkward at first, but now it's more than enough.

If you want to ask why there is still a process
——It's also a coincidence.

Putianuo is big, but during this time their people can always bump into Jiang Xian.

Xiao Huaijing really didn't have a good impression of Jiang Xian, and once suspected that there was some deliberate deliberation hidden under this coincidence, but unfortunately, Ying Qi found out after investigation that it was really a natural fate that couldn't be more natural.

Although they could meet each other in the past, at least there was no conflict of interest, but they lived in peace.

Until the end of last month, Xiao Huaijing made many investigations for his crumbling silver building, and finally set his sights on Huafu Building in Wendu County.

The business of Huafu Building in Wendu County is unique, and the most important reason is probably because of a lady surnamed Cui.

It is said that Mrs. Cui's ancestors made gold, silver and jade wares for the royal family, but she settled down here because of the turmoil and was exiled in Wendu County.

Whether the news is true or not remains to be seen, but Mrs. Cui is indeed unique in both design and craftsmanship.

Xiao Huaijing wanted to poach her away.

Jiang Xian also wanted her.

A few days ago, Mrs. Cui finally let go, but the person who let go was Jiang Xian.

In the ten years since his parents passed away, Xiao Huaijing had bumped into walls and bumped into walls everywhere... He was used to this kind of situation, but this time he was so angry that his temples twitched abnormally and after a long time.

It's like a fledgling boy who has suffered a dull loss, and suddenly has a child-like dissatisfaction.

He said: "Miss Jiang's restaurant is almost on the verge of collapse. Now if I don't rush back to Linyi to deal with it, why would I want to stay here?"

Jiang Xian said: "It's a trivial matter, even if I spend another month in Wendu County, I can afford it."

Her tone was flat, but her words were full of conceit and arrogance, and she was sure to win.

Xiao Huaijing's head hurts.

Annoyed by Jiang Xian's refusal to let go, upset by the fact that she has a chance of winning.

He knew very well that he was really not good enough for business, and several years of deployment had only allowed the shops under him to barely maintain a profitable state.But the shady operations under his hands require a lot of money everywhere.

If the crisis of the Yinlou is not over, it will be even more difficult.

But no matter how helpless Xiao Huaijing was, in the end Mrs. Cui accepted Jiang Xian.

The reason is also very simple.

Mrs. Cui's husband died early, leaving only her youngest son to live with her.

And this son has been weird since he was born in the mother's womb—he doesn't cry when people cry; Weird and inappropriate actions.

He didn't speak much, and if he couldn't express his request in a simple way, Mrs. Cui would almost think that her son was still dumb.

Some people say that this is the reason why the three souls and six souls have lost their taste, but Mrs. Cui spent all her energy and money looking for witches and Taoists, but it was of no use.

Originally, she had given up, but she never thought that she would be able to wait for her son to say "Mother" after nearly ten years.

This alone is enough to make Mrs. Cui overjoyed.Not to mention Jiang Xian also said that the disease can be cured, but it will take a long time.

The meaning is obvious, at least during this period of time, Jiang Xian wants Mrs. Cui to be used by her.

Mrs. Cui hesitated for a while, but agreed for the sake of her son.

Many people have come to her over the years, but she has always been content with the status quo, and only wants to watch over her youngest son to live a stable life, so she has never been attracted by anything yellow and white.

But now that the situation of the youngest son has improved, he may be able to start a family and start a business normally in the future. Mrs. Cui decided to take this step boldly.

Jiang Xian and Mrs. Cui reached an agreement, but there are still some troubles to deal with later.

Not to mention how to get Huafu Building to release people, but Xiao Huaijing and Jiang Xian are far from the only ones eyeing Mrs. Cui.

Jiang Xian has been busy all night to finish the day recently, so Xiao Huaijing watched the show relying on the news from the people below.

One day, Ying Qi, who was sent to monitor Jiang Xian, was lost again, and returned to Xiao Huaijing to answer after waiting for no one.

Xiao Huaijing was not surprised.

Listening to Ying Qi's narration, he frowned and leaned back on the chair, pointing his fingertips on the table, wondering what he was thinking.

After a while, he said: "Go back to Beijing and let Cui Qingruo come over."

The situation on Jiang Xian's side seems to be not good. Mrs. Cui is the pillar of Huafu Building, and Huafu Building insists on refusing to let her go. Now there is another wave of people interfering.

Xiao Huaijing thought with both joy and sigh, after all, she is a weak little girl, and Mrs. Cui let go, but Jiang Xian might not be able to keep her.

The four words "weak power" really summed up Jiang Xian's current situation with a high degree of accuracy.

Jiang Xian, who hadn't closed his eyes for two nights, comforted Mrs. Cui who was swaying from side to side, and finally arrived at the inn where she was staying.

After entering the guest room and closing the door behind his back, Jiang Xian slowly slid down the wall as if exhausted, feeling physically and mentally exhausted.

She rubbed the center of her brows wearily, thinking about what kind of attitude and terms she should use to negotiate with Huafulou, and how to lead Mrs. Cui in the midst of the interfering forces that forcibly squeezed in. Get away properly without affecting future plans...

There is no partner or subordinate she can trust completely, but one person's energy is limited after all.

Before he could figure out why, fatigue hit him in bursts, Jiang Xian didn't even have the strength to get up and walk to the bed, and his eyelids closed heavily when he was unconscious.

The temperature in November was already very low, and the slightest bit of cold air came out from the ground of the inn. When she woke up again, she didn't know if she was woken up by the cold, or if she still had a vigilant line of defense in her heart.

Jiang Xian heard footsteps outside, very lightly, if she hadn't been leaning against the door, she would never have felt it.

She held her breath, but the footsteps didn't come towards this side, but went to the next room.

This is not right.

Animal instinct made her feel spied on.

But after the other party did enter the next room, there was no movement at all.

Even though it was certain that no one would come over for a while, Jiang Xian still didn't sleep again after waking up.She got up and lit a candle, spread the tissue paper on the table, and the pen tip soaked in ink fell on the paper, and dark flowers bloomed.

The faint candlelight seems to have covered the guest room with a vague mist.

Finally, with the "squeak" sound of the door opening, the person next door came over.

The other party was still very polite, and knocked on the door three times.

Jiang Xian didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but the way the man knocked on the door was gentle but persistent, as if she wouldn't give up until she opened the door.

She finally opened the door blankly.

The destination was a teenage girl's house, dressed simply but not casually, an orange dress made her look lively, standing there quietly, adding a bit of romance to the quiet inn at night.

Cui Qingruo grinned and said, "I saw the light shining through my sister's side, so I came over to have a look. Didn't I disturb my sister's sleep?"

She looks obviously older than Jiang Xian, but she calls her sister sweetly, and the long-lost address easily pulls Jiang Xian's thoughts away.

But soon Jiang Xian realized that this was all an illusion, and his expression instantly returned to his usual indifference.

"Is something wrong?"

Cui Qingruo didn't seem to feel Jiang Xian's surprise, so he squeezed into the guest room, found a place to sit down, and said cheerfully: "Sister, do you want to talk?"

Her smile was like a mask, and her eyes shone brightly.
