My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

"Alright, then Your Highness, just wait!"

Jiang Xiaobai looked calmly at Xiao Qingxiu: "I'm not asking for much money, I'm just doing this to... improve the lives of the women of our Great Hua!"

After speaking, Jiang Xiaobai glanced at Tang Ningshuang and the Princess beside him.

Still using perfume balm?

Ha, with the emergence of perfumes made using modern technology, what chance does this balm have?

That's definitely a game-changing attack!

His original idea was simple: to support himself by writing books and gradually building up his business through the liquor business.

That would be enough as long as it could make up for the shortage in the North.

After all, he had too many different businesses to manage them all.

But now, Xiao Qingxiu is determined to stomp on his face.

They even plan to get involved in his liquor business.

Since that's the case, he doesn't mind playing along with this young prince!

"Oh!"

Upon hearing Jiang Xiaobai's words, Xiao Qingxiu chuckled twice more.

In his view, Jiang Xiaobai had no idea how deep the waters were in the perfume industry.

Do you think you can just barge in with a single sentence?

It's ridiculous!

So Xiao Qingxiu didn't bother to say anything more to Jiang Xiaobai and looked at Helian Zhaoyue again.

The group continued chatting about the border town for the rest of the time.

Jiang Xiaobai sat beside him, not interrupting, but just listening quietly.

After a while, Xiao Qingxiu put down his teacup and looked at Helian Zhaoyue, saying, "How about this, Princess!"

"Isn't your Northern Yu delegation also heading to Yipinlou later?"

"Once we get there, you can freely choose from the various shops in Yipinlou. Then we can sit down and have a proper discussion!"

"Can!"

Helian Zhaoyue nodded gently after hearing this.

That's right.

If the border market officially opens, we'll still need to carefully consider which Dahua goods to choose.

Jingshang Yipinlou, on the other hand, brings together almost all of the most famous shops in Beijing.

Going there to take a look would be suitable.

"Um!"

Xiao Qingxiu nodded with a smile, then glanced at Li Jingxing beside him: "In that case, Brother Li and I will take our leave now!"

As they spoke, the two stood up together.

"I'll see you two out!"

Helian Zhaoyue also stood up, and Teng Zixiu naturally followed beside her.

"Walk!"

Upon seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow: "Let's go back too!"

After saying that, he stood up and followed.

The group walked outside.

"Princess, please wait!"

Xiao Qingxiu stopped and looked at Helian Zhaoyue with a smile, saying, "We can go out ourselves!"

"Alright!"

Helian Zhaoyue nodded gently.

Xiao Qingxiu and Li Jingxing responded and then walked out of the Honglu Temple.

Jiang Xiaobai stood to the side, watching the two figures disappear into the distance, then turned to Helian Zhaoyue: "Princess!"

"I don't need you to stop. Or... could you walk me home?"

"OK!"

Helian Zhaoyue gritted her teeth and said coldly, "Then you'll have to wait, young master!"

After saying that, Helian Zhaoyue snorted coldly and turned to walk into the hall.

"Why?"

Jiang Xiaobai watched Helian Zhaoyue's retreating figure, then looked at Teng Zixiu and said, "Brother Teng, why don't you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Teng Zixiu had already hurried away with Helian Zhaoyue.

He didn't even turn his head.

"..."

Jiang Xiaobai stood there, unable to help but shake his head: "Tch, these people from Beiyu are so rude!"

After saying that, Jiang Xiaobai led the way and walked out of the Honglu Temple.

During this time, the smile on Jiang Xiaobai's face gradually faded.

Why is Helian Zhaoyue doing this? Does she want the Concealed Edge Order?

He really didn't quite understand this point.

After all, the Northern Yu delegation's stay in Dahua was ultimately limited.

Even if Helian Zhaoyue really manages to enter Cangfeng Mountain with the Cangfeng Token, so what?

Could it be that there is something else inside Cangfeng Mountain that Helian Zhaoyue desperately wants?

Jiang Xiaobai frowned slightly.

Unfortunately, his understanding of Cangfeng Mountain was ultimately still somewhat limited.

As for what exactly is inside and what the specific rules are, he really didn't know.

Soon, the three of them returned to the main gate of the Honglu Temple.

But as soon as he stepped out, Jiang Xiaobai stopped in his tracks.

Xiao Qingxiu and Li Jingxing were still there.

Judging from their appearance, they were clearly waiting for them.

Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow slightly and led Tang Ningshuang and the Princess over.

Once they were closer, Xiao Qingxiu spoke first with a smile: "Young Master Jiang, I'll just take what you said inside as a joke!"

"About the perfume..."

Xiao Qingxiu's expression held a hint of amusement: "Young Master Jiang, please, please don't act rashly!"

"After all, business isn't something you can just do by talking!"

Ok?

Jiang Xiaobai raised his eyebrows again as he listened.

Then he couldn't help but laugh: "You don't need to provoke me. Since the young prince wants to play, I can play with you properly!"

"Just... don't be the one crying in the end!"

"Ha ha!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingxiu burst into hearty laughter: "Very well, then I'll wait and see just how Young Master Jiang plans to make me cry!!"

After saying that, Xiao Qingxiu looked at Li Jingxing and said, "Brother Li, let's go!"

"Um!"

Li Jingxing responded calmly, and before getting into the carriage, he glanced at Jiang Xiaobai.

Jiang Xiaobai stood there, watching the carriage recede into the distance, a hint of mockery on his face.

He could tell that Xiao Qingxiu was afraid that he had just said it casually.

That's why I waited here specifically to provoke him again!

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but shake his head.

Since you want him to come in so badly, then let him in!

Let Xiao Qingxiu experience what it means to be attacked from a lower dimension.

Let's go!

Jiang Xiaobai turned around and led Tang Ningshuang and the Princess into his carriage: "New Year, let's go back to the manor!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Zhang Xinnian's voice rang out from outside.

However, before cracking his whip, he glanced in the direction of Xiao Qingxiu's carriage with some doubt.

What were those two people saying to the prince?

Puzzled, Zhang Xinnian didn't ask any further questions.

……

the other side.

Inside the luxurious carriage.

Xiao Qingxiu sat there, the playful look on his face still lingering.

Li Jingxing, sitting opposite, glanced at Xiao Qingxiu and said, "Young Prince!"

"I'm afraid that after you said that, they might not actually go into the perfume business!"

"After all, he's not stupid!"

Knowing full well that Xiao Qingxiu had already firmly established himself in this industry, why did he still grit his teeth and try to get involved?

A normal person wouldn't do that.

"snort!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingxiu's smile gradually faded: "Even if he doesn't, I will teach him a lesson!"

"His beverage business is doing quite well, so I'll start with beverages!"

"Of course, if he really dares to enter the perfume business..."

At this point, Xiao Qingxiu sneered, "That will only teach him a harsher lesson, so he'll know that this business... isn't so easy to do!"

At this point, Xiao Qingxiu leaned back in the carriage, his eyes brimming with confidence: "Heh, just because you got some drinks, you really think you're something special!"

"Hmph, he's still too green for me!!"

"Hahaha!"
