Is Shizi ill today?

Chapter 412 Old Acquaintance
Who is Master Cao?

If it is said that the Shen family has accumulated wealth through the convenience of generations of imperial merchants, then the Cao family is a real landlord. Almost half of the food in the north is supplied by the Cao family. The Cao family is not as famous as the Shen family in the imperial capital. But in the eyes of those rural people, it is a resounding big Buddha.

It never occurred to him that the young son in front of him had something to do with the Cao family.

With scrutiny in Chen Jiuzhen's eyes, he asked, "Second Master Yin wants to ask the Cao family to help us?"

Yin Shi'an glanced at the girl next to him, and nodded slightly: "Master Cao and I have some friendship, if I ask, he should agree."

Shen Qianqiao raised her head, met Yin Shi'an's gaze, pursed her lips, "Shi'an, I'm too much trouble for you."

She thought that Yin Shi'an could introduce her to the source of goods, but now it seems that if Yin Shi'an asks the Cao family for help, she will owe him a favor in the future.

But she couldn't say no to it, the Chen family's property couldn't be lost in the hands of her and Aunt Zhen.

After drinking a cup of tea, hearty laughter rang out outside.

"Shi'an, why do you have time to come to the shop today?"

A slightly affluent middle-aged man lifted the curtain and walked in. He had a beard and kindness in his eyes. His gray robe made him look more like a literati living in seclusion among the mountains and forests.

"Master Cao," Yin Shi'an stood up and bowed with both hands.

Shen Qianqiao followed Chen Jiuzhen and stood up.

"Ninth girl," Cao Wenhai said with a flash of eyes, a little surprised, "You're back."

Chen Jiuzhen nodded slightly: "Brother Cao."

Yin Shi'an looked at the two, smiled and said, "You two know each other?"

A complex look flashed in Chen Jiuzhen's eyes, and she gave a slight 'hmm'.

Yin Shi'an raised the issue of the shop.

After Cao Wenhai listened to the words, he looked at the girl on the opposite side, pondered for a while, and said, "Brother Shen, do you know you're back?"

Chen Jiuzhen pursed her lips and nodded, "To be honest, the Chen family has fallen into this situation. Those suppliers were all threatened by the Shen family. Brother Cao and Shen Guangmao have always had a good relationship, so we don't have to go through this troubled water."

Without waiting for him to speak, she stood up and called out, "Qian Qiao, let's go."

Cao Wenhai stood up quickly, and stretched out his hand to stop her: "Miss Jiu, be safe and don't be impatient."

Chen Jiuzhen glanced at him.

Cao Wenhai withdrew his hand uncomfortably, and smiled: "You and I are old friends who have dealt with each other. Brother Shen was confused for a while, but I can't be confused. You don't have to worry about this stuff, I can supply it to you."

Shen Qianqiao was slightly taken aback, she didn't expect that Mr. Cao in front of her would agree so readily, she looked at Aunt Zhen, and saw that there was no joy on her face.

"Don't bother." Chen Jiuzhen said in a low voice.

Cao Wenhai shook his head, and said with a smile, "No trouble, after all, you have helped me before, and it should be reciprocated."

Having said so much, Chen Jiuzhen could no longer refuse.

After having dinner together, Yin Shi'an sent the two of them back.

Just as Shen Qianqiao walked up the steps, he said, "Qianqiao, do you have time tomorrow?"

"What's the matter?" Shen Qianqiao paused and turned to look at him.

Yin Shi'an's face turned red, but fortunately the night was dark, so it wasn't obvious, he said nervously: "You invited me to dinner today, I'll treat you tomorrow."

Shen Qianqiao moved her eyes and said softly: "Shi'an, you helped me today, no need."
