Chapter 174 Business
Lu Chengting was in a low mood. He never thought about what he wanted to fight for, but he didn't expect that what he got in return was humiliation.

Maybe, he was really wrong.

If we continue to give in blindly in the future, I think it will only make these so-called family members worse.

Seeing that Xiao Jinyue wanted to ask the maid to fetch water, Lu Chengting hurriedly stopped her, "Jinyue, don't wash it. If you continue to wash it, you will lose your hand."

Xiao Jinyue looked down at her hands, they were red and painful, if she continued to wash her hands, her skin would really bleed.

He picked up the handkerchief and wiped off the water, went to sit next to Lu Chengting, picked up the teacup and drank it in one go.

"I'm sorry to make you feel wronged. In the future, if this kind of thing happens again, I will refuse it directly. If anyone dares to have an opinion, let her come to me."

Xiao Jinyue put down the teacup, and cast a sideways glance at Lu Chengting, "If Mrs. Tai still asks me to pinch her feet, do you refuse?"

Lu Chengting nodded, "That's right, I refused directly. You just tell her, if you, the concubine of the world, are required to do the work of beating your back and pinching your feet, then what's the use of all the maids in the mansion? None of the waiters are satisfied, from Nanny Gong to the maid who sweeps the floor, I will replace all of them for her."

Xiao Jinyue was surprised, "Aren't you afraid that Mrs. Tai will be angry? Also, the body deeds of the servants in the mansion are not in your hands. Even if you want to change them, you probably can't change them."

"At any rate, I am the eldest son of the Duke of Zhen's mansion. I still have this bit of power. It's not difficult for me to get it if I sell my body. As for grandma's anger, since none of the servants can satisfy her, it's just right Wouldn't it be better to change to a group of smart ones."

Xiao Jinyue nodded, "Okay, I'll do as you said from now on."

Lu Chengting took out a waist card and handed it to her, "Okay, don't be angry, you are going to leave the house, take my waist card, no one will dare to stop you."

Xiao Jinyue squinted at him, "I'm not angry. If I get angry, I'll get out on the spot. By the way, I'll say hello to you in advance. If someone dares to bully me in the future, I will never be soft."

Out on the spot when you are angry?
Could it be that Mrs. Ningyuan Hou made a fool of herself in public, and she did it?

Lu Chengting's lips moved, and he wanted to ask if he had done anything to Mrs. Tai, but thinking of his grandmother asking her to pinch her feet in front of outsiders, he couldn't say that.

Xiao Jinyue glanced at him, ignored him, and left the house with her waist card and ginkgo fruit.

Sitting on the street in a carriage, listening to the hustle and bustle, my mood improved a lot.

Arriving at Xun Tang Ji, Xiao Jinyue saw customers coming and going in the store, took ginkgo fruit into the courtyard through the back door, and then went to the private room on the second floor.

The second manager went to Fujian to build a workshop, and now the new shopkeeper of Xun Tang Ji has been replaced by Xiao Pingyuan's other personal soldier, Xiao Zhong.

Seeing Xiao Jinyue came to the sugar store, the shopkeeper was very happy, and immediately brought the store's ledger over for her to have a look.

Xiao Jinyue took the account book and asked about the business status of the store. Hearing that the business was good and nothing happened to the operation of the workshop, she was relieved.

There were many customers in the store, so Xiao Jinyue asked the shopkeeper to go down to work, while she read the account books in the private room.

Halfway through, a servant girl opened the beaded curtain and came in, "Shi Zifei, the shopkeeper of Jinyuanzheng Company has something to see."

Xiao Jinyue looked up from the ledger, Jin Yuanzheng's shopkeeper wanted to see her?

She doesn't intend to interfere with the sugar store, anyway, the big shopkeeper Xiao Zhong is in the shop, "Go and tell the shopkeeper, let him go to receive the big shopkeeper of Jinyuanzheng Company."

The servant girl didn't leave after hearing the words, but said, "The shopkeeper is already receiving you, but the big shopkeeper of Jinyuanzheng Company insisted on seeing you, saying that it was something he wanted to talk about, and the shopkeeper can't make the decision."

Xiao Jinyue raised her eyebrows, did she have to see it?
Forget it, anyway, she doesn't plan to go back home early today, so you can read the account book slowly, see you soon.

"You ask the shopkeeper to take Jin Yuanzheng's big shopkeeper to the flower hall in the backyard, and I will go there later."

"Yes."

After the girl withdrew, Xiao Jinyue read two more pages unhurriedly, drank half a cup of tea, and then went downstairs with the ginkgo fruit and turned to the backyard.

In the flower hall, shopkeeper Xiao Zhong was drinking tea with two men, chatting with each other.

Seeing Xiao Jinyue coming in, the shopkeeper immediately got up and saluted, "I've seen the concubine."

Xiao Jinyue nodded at him, "Uncle Zhong, you don't need to be too polite, you can go down and do your work first."

As soon as he sat down in the main seat, the chubby Jin Yuanzhengda, the shopkeeper, immediately stood up from his seat, saluted Xiao Jinyue with a smile on his face.

"Concubine Shizi, long time no see."

Xiao Jinyue nodded lightly at him, but looked at another man sitting next to the shopkeeper.

Seeing Xiao Jinyue looking towards him, the man didn't get up, but casually picked up the teacup, and gently scratched the cup with the lid.

Seeing the man's expression of indifference, Xiao Jinyue glanced casually and then looked back.

"I don't know if the shopkeeper wants to see me, what's the matter?"

The man's attitude was contemptuous, but the shopkeeper's attitude was respectful, "Shizifei, it's like this, our Jinyuanzheng firm wants to buy a batch of goods from your Xuntangji."

"Purchase from our sugar store? Our shopkeeper should have told you that our store does not have a lot of goods, only enough for our own sales, and we cannot provide them to your business."

The shopkeeper was not surprised when he heard this.After all, at the beginning, this Miss Xiao wanted to buy a batch of sucrose from their Jinyuanzheng store, but he refused.

To be honest, he regretted it a long time ago.

If he hadn't listened to the elder girl's instigation and provided the sucrose to this girl Xiao, wouldn't the situation be the same as it is today?

It's also his fault that he was blind at the beginning, and didn't see that Miss Xiao had such a great fortune. Not only did she transform from a low-status first-in-law daughter to the eldest son and concubine of Zhen Guogong's mansion.

Moreover, he also opened a sugar store, not to mention Yuan Kangchao's only candy. There are many varieties of candy, which not only looks pleasing to the eye, but most importantly, there are no impurities, and the price is cheap.

Since the opening of Xun Tang Ji, almost no one came to buy the sucrose in their store, and the income of the store has directly shrunk by more than half.

The shopkeeper smiled wryly in his heart, but the man in the azure-colored tapestry brocade robe suddenly said, "Concubine Shizi, in fact, our firm wants to negotiate a business with you."

Xiao Jinyue turned her head and glanced at him, but said nothing.

The man's face was ugly when he saw this, and the shopkeeper hurriedly introduced Xiao Jinyue with a smiling face, "This is the owner of our Jinyuanzheng firm, Zou Ping."

It turned out to be the owner of the Jinyuanzheng firm. Xiao Jinyue remembered that Lu Chengting once said that Jinyuanzheng was actually the property of the household department's Zuo Shilang's residence.Because imperial officials are not allowed to do business, Jinyuan is being managed by Zou Changyuan's second brother, Zou Ping, a concubine.

"I don't know what kind of business Mr. Zou wants to discuss with us?"

"I would like to buy the recipe for each candy from Xuntangji. No matter what kind of candy it is, I will give you 500 taels. What do you think?"

Each recipe is 500 taels, which is not a small amount of income. If it only depends on the income from the store, I don’t know how long it will take to earn.

Just by selling the formula to him, he can earn a huge amount of money by reselling it. Zou Ping is full of confidence and feels that the Crown Princess will definitely not refuse his deal.
