Chapter 175 Cooperation in Military Rations
Three days later, Ji Yunzhang went to the appointment as promised and went to Xianyuefang, Jinpeng's largest den of brothel.

Dong Zhengxue booked the largest private room, prepared a table full of fine wine and delicacies, and also invited the top star to accompany him.

It was as if she knew her identity and wanted to bribe him.

But now he has lost his official position and only has an empty title, so there is no benefit to be gained from him.

All I can say is that this person has other purposes.

Ji Yunzhang looked at him with a half-smile, "Mr. Dong, such a big ceremony, I am a little flattered."

Today he was wearing a dark colored brocade robe with narrow sleeves and a slanting collar. His aura wasn't as intimidating as that day, but he looked like a martial artist who was not to be messed with.

When Dong Zhengxue saw him, it was like seeing his own brother.

"Brother Ji is here! It's just right, the food is hot, let's eat and chat while it's hot!"

The leader of Xianyuefang had his chest exposed and he staggered up to climb onto his arm.

Ji Yunzhang strode forward, leaving the leader empty-handed.

"You have a fierce wife at home, so Mr. Dong should keep the girl for himself."

Dong Zhengxue smiled and said, "Brother Ji, you are joking. My sister-in-law looks gentle and lovely. How can she be a fierce wife?"

Ji Yunzhang did not respond, but his eyes turned cold instantly.

Dong Zhengxue's heart tightened, fearing that he would discover his true purpose.

"What I mean is that my sister-in-law is a generous person. When a man is out socializing, it's inevitable that he won't drink or have fun."

Ji Yunzhang lifted his robe and sat down steadily.

"I have discussed this with Jiaci that day. Since the Dong family grain shop can deliver the goods in exchange for money, we, the Ji family grain depot, will take over this game."

Dong Zhengxue had prepared a lot of things to say today, but he didn't expect the fish to take the bait before he even opened his mouth.

He said, with such a big bait, how could you not catch any fish.

Dong Zhengxue sat down and raised his glass, "Then I wish you a happy cooperation in advance!"

Looking at the table full of dishes, Dong Zhengxue felt a little heartbroken.

If he had known it was so easy, why would he have spent the money?

Ji Yunzhang gently held the wine glass with two fingers, without even raising his eyes, "Mr. Dong is becoming even more incomprehensible to me."

"W-what do you mean…" Dong Zhengxue's eyelids twitched.

"Mr. Dong came to us looking for cooperation, and the Ji family has also considered it."

"Mr. Dong doesn't talk about price, delivery time, or bonus. What kind of business is this?"

"Does the Dong family do business with words?"

Dong Zhengxue's breathing stagnated. How could he, a young man who was just killing time, really understand these things?

"This, this is the price. I'll bring the accountant to discuss it with you tomorrow!"

"Today I am inviting Brother Ji to drink!"

"is it?"

Ji Yunzhang glanced at him.

"Yes Yes……"

Dong Zhengxue wiped the sweat from his forehead. Why is this guy so difficult to deal with?

-

When Rong Peilan took Qi'an into Xiuyunfang, she noticed that almost everyone's eyes were on her since she entered the door.

When she looked over, the person turned away as if nothing had happened.

Haitang frowned. "What's wrong with these people? I've accompanied the old lady here many times, and never..."

Rong Peilan, "Your eyes are on other people, so you don't need to pay attention to them."

The moment Luo, the head lady of Xiuyunfang, saw Rong Peilan, the smile on her face froze, then she smiled again and came forward to greet her.

"Madam, what would you like to see today?" Xiuyunfang is naturally not as good as Ruyifang in Yanjing, but it is also the best shop in the whole Jinpeng.

Rong Peilan, "Measure some clothes for the children and take a look at the jewelry."

"A batch of pearls of excellent quality just arrived two days ago. Madam has an extraordinary temperament and is most suitable for her."

Madam Luo led a few people inside.

As soon as the figures of the few people disappeared from everyone's sight, a flurry of discussions immediately broke out.

There is a small courtyard behind the shop, with a path paved with white pebbles and circular bluestone steps leading directly to each room.

There are many green bamboos planted in the middle of the courtyard, and a pond of koi.

The place is small, but the view is nice.

Madam Luo led them to a wing room and said, "Madam, please take a rest. The maid will bring up what you want later."

The size of the wing room is about the same as that of the wing room on the second floor of Ruyifang in Yanjing.

After a while, a maid brought tea and snacks, as well as two strings of candied haws.

Xiao Sui'an's eyes immediately lit up, "Sui Sui's gourd!"

Haitang explained, "The old lady has come here several times, and every time the girl brought candied haws. Madam Luo should remember it."

Rong Peilan nodded, "He is quite clever."

The courtyard is so unique that if it were not placed in a jewelry shop, it would also be an elegant scene for drinking tea in a teahouse.

Qi'an was lying on the small table like a little mouse, with his mouth full of pastries.

Although the brother and sister are twins who were born at the same time, their tastes and habits have become very different as they have grown up. Even their looks are gradually becoming one like their mother and the other like their father.

Rong Peilan took a handkerchief and wiped their mouths. "You two have already eaten today. Don't ask for candied haws and sugar cakes when you go back."

The two children, with their mouths full of food, looked at their mother and nodded quickly in agreement.

Madam Luo came in with two maids.

"Ma'am, these are new arrivals, please take a look."

"These are sample fabrics. They are all suitable materials for children in summer. They are breathable and comfortable."

The two maids placed the large trays in their hands on the small table.

Mrs. Luo smiled appropriately, "Madam, please take your time to look at it. If you need any help, you can pull this rope."

A rope with a tassel tied to it hung by the door.

"Okay, thank you for your help, Madam Luo." Haitang stood up and sent Madam Luo out.

Before leaving the courtyard, Madam Luo looked back at the wing room. This lady had been widely rumored in Jinpeng in the past few days.

The reason why she was able to recognize her was because of the maids around her and the pair of twins who were as beautiful as porcelain dolls.

This lady's whole demeanor doesn't look like a concubine. Even the wife of the city lord of Jinpeng is not as elegant as her.

When turning around, he almost bumped into a customer coming from the shop in front.

"Oh, Madam Luo, you scared me!"

Madam Luo knelt down and saluted, "How are you, Madam Li? What other jewelry would you like to see today?"

Zhao did not answer her, but instead looked towards the courtyard curiously.

"I heard from the ladies outside that the mistress of that high-ranking official in Beijing has arrived, so I came to see what's going on!"

Madam Luo looked at her eyes which were full of interest and inquiry, and slightly turned sideways to block her sight.

"Mrs. Li, when running a shop, we should make money by being harmonious. If you do this, your shop will not be able to do business."

Zhao stood up and said, "I know that Madam Luo is doing business. I won't ruin your business, so I'll just take a look secretly."

"An aunt from my mother's family also married to a wealthy family in Yanjing. Maybe she knows him!"
