first princess

Chapter 208 Intense Business War (2)
From leaning against the wall, to sitting on his lap, to lying on the table, Shui Linglong's body gradually became as if it was not her own. Waves of turbulent waves rushed towards the shore, sweeping her increasingly blurred consciousness, until In the end, she finally couldn't bear too much joy, and cried without a sound.This rare softness stimulated Zhuge Yu's senses to a greater extent. He kissed her lips and swallowed her begging for mercy.

Tonight, the night is beautiful.

...

As if in an endless corridor, Mu Hua walked slowly.The surroundings were too quiet, so quiet that only his weak breathing could be heard, so quiet that he didn't even dare to put his foot down vigorously.

"Don't...don't...you don't do this...please..."

It was this voice again, Mu Hua stopped in his tracks, concentrated his energy, and began to identify the direction of the voice.He was resting in the room at first, but he came to this place after hearing strange sounds, but every time he felt that he was getting closer to the begging woman, the sound disappeared.

Mu Hua stood in the quiet corridor, looking around, but nothing but darkness was still darkness.He looked up at the full moon in the sky, wondering why the bright moonlight couldn't reach this corner!He turned around, intending to go back to the room.Perhaps, everything is my own illusion.

"Help...help...help me..."

Like pressing the slow-motion button, the voice for help became longer and longer, word by word, like long lines slowly ringing in Mu Hua's ears, at first it sounded far away, but on second hearing, it sounded like the woman Clinging to his back, biting his ear and crying.

"Save-life-save-life-ah, you-save-save-me-"

Mu Hua suddenly turned around, and he really saw a woman in light blue clothes lying in a pool of blood on the way he came, and the moonlight also shone in at this moment, falling on her blood-soaked body, tearing her clothes away. The vertical stripes on the road were clearly reflected, but when she was an inch away from her face, her face was hidden into the night.

But no matter what, Mu Hua can't ignore death.He looked at the strange woman and wanted to say, "Don't move around here, I'll get the doctor", but after howling at the top of his voice for a long time, he found that he couldn't utter a single syllable!

"Save-life-you-save-save-me-"

"Don't--come-over-come, you-go-away, please-you, don't-this-like..."

Mu Hua couldn't speak, so he didn't say anything at all, and just went to find a doctor by himself!Unexpectedly, when he walked past the woman, suddenly a pair of hands grew out of nowhere, cold as ice and as hard as pig iron, grabbing his ankles!He was frightened out of his wits, and fell to the ground with a sound of "Ah!"

A feeling of weightlessness spread over all limbs, and Mu Hua sat up straight suddenly!Only then did I realize that I didn't go to any corridor at all, but was in the room, holding the wooden sign that I always carried with me.Strange to say, it's like holding a wooden sign to sleep, and nine times out of ten I can dream the same dream.Mu Hua lost all sleepiness, got up and walked to the desk, lit the lamp, and began to clear the books in the shop.

In the master bedroom of Qingyou Courtyard, Leng Youru took off her shoes after taking a bath, and planned to go to bed.Cen'er stood beside her and asked, "Princess, would you like to eat some red bean cake with coconut milk before going to bed?"

Leng Youru nodded: "Well, let's have a piece."

Cen'er offered a piece of red bean cake with coconut milk, Leng Youru gulped it down, clapped his hands, and just about to fall on the bed, Cen'er brought another cup of honey milk: "Sweet, super delicious!"

Leng Youru didn't refuse anyone who came, gurgled, drank like a man, and finally wiped her mouth with her sleeve: "Is there any meat? I want the big one."

Cen'er smiled and said: "Yes, yes, I've prepared it for you." As he spoke, Cen'er conjured a plate of delicious Dongpo meat from behind like a magic trick.Leng Youru took a deep breath, picked up the chopsticks and finished a plate full of Dongpo meat, then she stroked her swollen belly and stretched: "Go out, I'm going to sleep."

Cen'er withdrew.Leng Youru kicked her feet back and forth, her shoes flew out of the screen, while she lay sprawled on the bed, sucked her oily fingers, and pulled back the quilt to fall asleep.

Little did she know, the moment she pulled back the quilt, a small black snake flew out and wrapped itself around her neck!She was so frightened that Huarong turned pale: "Ah! Help! Who will save me? Which warrior will come and save me?"

Brother Hao descended from the sky in arrogance, Leng Youru wept with joy as if seeing a savior, and kept waving at him; "Brother Hao, come and save me! You are the bravest and most upright person in the world!" People! Please help me! I need your help very much!"

Brother Hao thumped his own little chest like a gorilla, and roared in a rough voice, "Are you going to force me to take a bath in the future?"

Leng Youru shook her head desperately: "Don't force me, don't force me anymore!"

Brother Hao gave a serious "hmm" and asked again: "Then will you still keep my meat in the future?"

Leng Youru looked at him with admiration and fear, clasped his hands together and promised, "No more, eat as much as you like!"

"It's not too bad!" Brother Hao expressed his satisfaction, walked to Leng Youru's side in a serious manner, performed lightness kung fu, rose into the air, and when he landed, he had already taken off the little black snake from Leng Youru's neck and threw it out of the window.

Leng Youru was grateful, hugged him and said, "Brother Hao, you are really amazing! I like you so much!"

Brother Hao smiled dejectedly, raised his head and said wantonly: "Serve the young master to sleep!"

"Okay!" Leng Youru smiled like a nympho, carried him to the magnificent big bed, and lay down with him.

"Fan!"

"Okay!" Leng Youru waved a fan for him.

"Touch your back!"

"Okay!" Leng Youru gently stroked his soft back.

"Sing me another lullaby!" He found a comfortable position in her arms, and ordered coldly!

Leng Youru embraced him, patted his back, and sang a tune that he didn't seem to understand...

"Master Biao, Mr. Biao! Mr. Biao!" The Telford family yelled a few times to no avail, and hurriedly pushed Brother Hao from behind.

Brother Hao suddenly came back to his senses, and found himself sitting at the small round table in the dining room, with a rich and delicious breakfast on the table, and Leng Youru sitting opposite him, with a cold expression and elegant manners, just like a fairy in the sky.Brother Hao was startled for a moment, then his eyes darkened, and the fingers placed under the table were crossed and clasped, pinching left and right.

Leng Youru took a sip of red dates and longan porridge in front of his interview, and then ate a crystal steamed bun, then pushed the porridge and buns in front of him, and said lightly: "Eat, go to school after eating. "

Brother Hao finished eating without taste, Leng Youru didn't mention anything about the little snake getting into the house, and didn't ask him a word, he was lucky to be relieved, maybe she thought the snake crawled in by itself of!Putting down the chopsticks, Brother Hao wanted to salute and bid farewell, but Leng Youru stopped him with a half-smile: "Wait, I made tonic soup just for you, it's not too late to take a few sips before going." Cen'er gestured.

Cen'er put a small blue and white porcelain cup with the pattern of panlong and sea of ​​clouds in front of Brother Hao. Brother Hao impatiently drank three or two sips and then didn't want to drink anymore.

Leng Youru wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, and said with a kind smile: "So you don't like snake soup, I thought you liked it, so I ordered someone to prepare it."

Snake...snake soup? "Ouch—" Brother Hao clutched his chest and retched for a while, before Leng Youru gave orders, he rushed into the clean room again, washed his hands and rinsed his mouth, came out and bowed to Leng Youru in a daze, He picked up his schoolbag and rushed to the school.

Shui Lingxi and Li Jing finally got married, nearly three months earlier than the original wedding date, and worshiped in mid-September.All of a sudden, news about Shui Lingxi spread widely. From the Crown Princess to the First Princess, and finally married as a businessman's wife, I don't know what sins she committed in her previous life, but she got worse day by day.With the help of Shui Lingxi's gimmick, Li Jing's name became popular in the capital. Anyway, Shui Lingxi is a woman who was divorced by the prince. Ordinary officials and eunuchs dare not have any contact with her. Isn't Li Jing just a girl? A local businessman?How dare you marry Shui Lingxi?But soon, everyone found that they couldn't laugh anymore.Not only because Li Jing's younger sister stood out among many beautiful women and became the second-rank imperial concubine, keeping pace with Concubine Yan, but also because Li Jing himself created an unprecedented business legend in the capital.

Li Jing was originally from Quanzhou. His ancestors had been in business for generations, and he was quite famous in the local area. He had parents and uncles, and younger brothers and nephews. He should have worked together to revitalize the Li family and strive to become the richest man in Quanzhou. His property left the land where he was born and raised him, and invested all his financial resources in the capital, and quickly gained a foothold in the capital with extraordinary means and brains.

The projects he opened are very novel and operate in a very special way.The first thing to bear the brunt is the leisure club, where you can eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and there is no shortage of high, high, and low grades. It is simply a man's paradise.In just three months, Li Jing opened five chain stores in the capital, grabbing all the businesses in the surrounding restaurants, gambling houses and brothels.

Li Jing's business with men was very successful, and his business with women was not inferior at all.While leisure clubs were blooming everywhere, his Korean-style beauty salon also occupied all the bustling areas of the capital with lightning speed.In addition to these stable projects, Li Jing also opened silk and satin shops, antique shops, and pharmacies... near Zhuge's property, and strictly controlled the prices at a little lower than Zhuge's. If the price was lowered, he immediately followed suit. After a few months, the turnover of Zhuge's major stores plummeted. After calculation, more than half of them lost money, less than half remained the same, and few made profits.

What a desperate way to play!Shui Linglong put down the booklet in her hand, her eyes darkened a little.Leng Youru picked up the teacup and touched it to her lips: "He has a backer, right? Otherwise, it's impossible for such a powerful business force to have no one rushing to make trouble."

Shui Linglong briefly explained the news Anping brought back with her usual expression: "It was smashed, but those who caused trouble were either captured by the government or retaliated by the underworld. He is very good at both black and white. I'm sorry for him. And he is also very cunning, avoiding the territories of top families like the Leng family, the Yao family, and the Lu family."

Therefore, no one would intervene in his fight for the property of Zhuge's family.The world is all about profit, maybe those people are also very happy to watch Zhuge's family's property go bankrupt, so that they can also take a share of the opportunity.The market is that big, and the loss of one business giant is good for everyone else.It has to be said that besides being good at business warfare, Li Jing is also good at scheming.

Leng Youru frowned slightly: "He has enmity with our Zhuge family?"

Shui Linglong paid in secret, the hatred is serious, she has a mortal hatred with me, and is similar to your mother-in-law, if not, she wouldn't have joined forces with Shangguan Yan to bring your matter to Leng's house.But Shui Linglong didn't plan to tell Leng Youru that Li Jing was equal to Xun Feng, she blinked and said softly, "Maybe... someone behind the scenes ordered him to do this."

Leng Youru gave a weak "hmm", and relaxed her frowning brows, and said casually: "It's okay, just take some money from my private house."

Shui Linglong can't laugh or cry, even if you really have a treasury, if things go on like this, one day it will be emptied.But soon, Shui Linglong understood the original intention of the princess's insistence on being a virgin girl who spread wealth. She doesn't have any children of her own, so who will leave all the money after a hundred years?If you don't spend it, forget it.Thinking of this, Shui Linglong calmly said: "If you can earn it back, keep the mother and concubine's money for emergencies."

Leng Youru didn't speak, at this moment, Mu Hua sent Brother Hao back from school.

"Mother Concubine." Mu Hua bowed respectfully, Brother Hao followed suit, but didn't call anyone.

Leng Youru looked at the snowflakes on the two people's clothes, and a faint smile rose from the corner of her lips: "The snow seems to be very big."

Mu Hua brushed off the snowflakes from his son's shoulders with his hands that were red from the cold: "It's a bit big. I just took Brother Hao to build a snowman, and I played with it for a long time."

Brother Hao walked up to Leng Youru timidly, bowed his head and said nothing.Leng Youru took out the handkerchief, and gently wiped his sweaty face despite facing the wind and snow, Brother Hao raised his head in disbelief, staring at her fairy-like face, he was so nervous that he couldn't breathe, But he didn't know what he thought of, and he quickly lowered his eyes, feeling a little apprehensive.

Leng Youru folded the handkerchief and put it on the table, and said slowly: "Okay, wash your hands, and paint red after washing. Cen'er, prepare ginger soup."

"Yes." Cen'er led Brother Hao to clean the room, after a while, Brother Hao went to the small study behind the gauze cabinet, and she went to the dining room.

Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows, Leng Youru and Brother Hao seemed to get along well!It's really one thing, one thing, even Zhuge Liuyun can't do anything, Brother Hao is as obedient as a kitten to Leng Youru.

Mu Hua looked at his son who would always remember to come back no matter how wild he played, with a smile on his face.

The little maid served hot tea, Mu Hua took it in her hand, and just took a sip when Leng Youru asked him: "How is the situation in your shop? Has it been affected?"

"Influence? What?" Mu Hua put down his teacup, and faced Leng Youru in a regular manner, as if waiting for an elder's words.

Leng Youru's long eyelashes trembled, and she seemed to say casually: "It's nothing, just ask if the business in your shop is getting better as the new year is approaching."

When it came to business, Mu Hua's eyes lit up: "It's much better, isn't it the Chinese New Year soon? Every shop is too busy, so I hired eleven more part-time workers, two for pharmacies, five for restaurants, and four for stays. In silk and satin village."

He said every room!Shui Linglong and Leng Youru were a little startled. While Zhuge's family's economy was in a sharp decline, why did Mu Hua's shop stand out?Didn't Li Jing make the stumbling block go to him?

"Didn't you notice that there are suddenly more identical shops near your property? For example, a newly opened restaurant, pharmacy, silk and satin shop?" Leng Youru held back her surprise and asked as casually as possible.

Mu Hua said "Oh", thoughtfully: "Yes, there are three more restaurants in one street, two more pharmacies, and one more silk shop, but the business is not so good."

Shui Linglong smiled and expressed the doubts in her heart: "How do you maintain your business?"

"Oh, this, my method is actually simple." Mu Hua smiled and replied truthfully, "It doesn't matter whether you are a noble or a commoner, in fact, it is hard to escape the mentality of taking advantage of small things. He spends a tael of silver, and you give him For one-two-one goods, he is naturally willing to come here often."

"How?" It was Leng Youru who asked.

When talking about business, Mu Hua is always in high spirits: "Take a pharmacy as an example. Each pharmacy is equipped with a corresponding doctor. The consultation fee is [-] yuan, and the medicine fee is calculated separately. This is the market in the capital. Of course, there are some special ones. In a high-end pharmacy, if you hire a famous doctor or a retired imperial doctor, the consultation fee is much more expensive. I will talk about our middle-level pharmacy! I posted a notice that all patients who buy medicines worth [-] yuan can see the consultation for free. In this way, patients Subconsciously, he thinks that he has saved a hundred pennies, and if he saves money before buying anything, he will feel better, and when he is in a better mood, the communication with the doctor will also be better, which forms a virtuous circle. For the patients, the doctor will give a clear suggestion that you can consider buying some health-care medicinal materials to prevent diseases, and he will easily accept it. Health-care medicinal materials are expensive, such as ganoderma lucidum, cordyceps, bird's nest... In the end, it is to use the money of the rich to make up for it. Then, we will record each patient, so that we will know what medical history he has had and what medicine he has taken when he comes to see a doctor next time. If the patient is right with his heart, the patient will be assured to be a repeat customer.”

Shui Linglong showed admiration: "It sounds simple, but I'm afraid it's quite difficult to do it. You have a heart."

Mu Hua was taken aback for a moment, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "If you want to get better than ordinary people, you have to work harder. If you just plan to dawdle, this business will never come up anyway."
