A few days later, Cen Le and the others received news from the little beggar that Jing Hengling had returned from Yangzhou.

On the first day Jing Hengling came back, he ordered someone to send a name card, inviting Cen Le to visit the mansion.

It happened that Gu Fangyou was there that day, he tore up the name post without saying a word, and drove the servants back.

The servant had never been treated like this before, and was about to get angry, but when he saw Mu Chen's gloomy face and tall and straight figure, he immediately walked away in despair.

After this time, Cen Le and Mu Chen dared not relax at all.

Especially Mu Chen, he studied martial arts with Luo Qin more seriously, and even asked Luo Qin to teach him an extra hour every day.

Luo Qin didn't refuse, so Mu Chen got up before Mao every day, and practiced until Si time.

After a period of time, it is also somewhat effective.

In May, Qin Ming and Song Yunxiu came to Rouge Shop together.

The two people's trip to Shaanxi was dragged on until half a month ago. After returning, they took care of some things, and finally got free to come here today.

Entering the shop, Qin Ming's eyes lit up, especially for spiral staircases, he stared and looked at them carefully, studying them carefully.

Although Song Yunxiu had already heard a lot from Song Yunjing, but now he walked into the shop and saw it, he still couldn't help being surprised.

What made him especially interesting was the specially made coupons in Chen Sheng's hands. The coupons were not expensive, each cost ten Wen. It can offset [-] Wen, and you can also use the coupon to get a sample gift of lip balm or balm. Before entering the store, most people will buy one.

Not only that, but along the stairs to the second floor, he saw some cabinets with the words "today's special offer" written on them. After careful questioning, he realized that there were two new types of rouge placed on that cabinet every day, and they were sold at half price. People can only buy two pieces.

Song Yunxiu quickly calculated the price in his mind, and found that selling at such a half price, although a box can only recover a small profit, because there are many buyers, the profit will not be small, and there will be no loss at all.

These methods are novel, interesting, and can make people feel that there are advantages to take advantage of, so they will not be stingy when paying for money.

It was indeed the first time he saw a business like Cen Le's.

Seeing Qin Ming and Song Yunxiu, Cen Le and Mu Chen put down what they were doing and walked towards them.

"You guys are here." Cen Le invited the two of them to sit down on the wicker chairs by the window, and poured two more cups of tea by himself.

Qin Ming was curious about the spiral staircase, and after sitting down, he couldn't wait to ask, "Who did you ask for this staircase?"

Cen Le told him, "I drew the design draft and asked Master Su from East Street to do it."

Qin Ming asked curiously: "Is this your overseas feature again?"

Cen Le couldn't be said to be a modern feature, so he nodded.

Qin Ming ran to the stairs and turned around again, then stared at it for a while, and became more and more satisfied as he watched, he went back to his chair and sat down, and asked Cen Le: "I happen to be opening a restaurant on the East Street, when decorating, Can I also use your kind of stairs?"

"Yes." Cen Le stared at him, "Do you need me to draw a design draft for you?"

Qin Ming's eyes became brighter, "Is it okay?"

Cen Le smiled, "Yes, but I need to visit your shop to draw the most suitable drawings."

Qin Ming pondered for a while, then said: "Then tomorrow, are you free tomorrow?"

Cen Le thought for a while, then nodded, Gu Fangyou will come over tomorrow, he can ask Gu Fangyou to take a look at the shop temporarily.

Seeing that Cen Le agreed, Qin Ming laughed, his brows and eyes were curved, and he was very happy.

Seeing Qin Ming smiling happily, Song Yunxiu couldn't help but cock his mouth.

After a while, he looked away from Cen Le and asked, "Did Yunjing cause you any trouble on the day the shop opened?"

Cen Le shook his head, "No, Young Master Song also did me a big favor, I should thank him."

Mu Chen briefly told Song Yunxiu and the others what happened that day.

After listening, Qin Ming chuckled, "This is indeed Yunjing's style."

He remembered one thing.

Ten years ago, his jade shop was about to open. At that time, Song Yunjing was only a six-year-old boy. He didn't know where he found out about it, so he took his pocket money and asked his servants to help find someone, and it finally opened. That day, two teams of people appeared in front of his shop performing.

Song Yunxiu shook his head helplessly, obviously he also remembered something, his younger brother, sometimes he really didn't know whether it was cute or irritating.

While chatting happily, suddenly, a voice came in, "Isn't this Brother Song?"

Hearing the sound and turning around, Song Yunxiu suppressed his smile when he saw the person coming, and replied in a flat tone: "Brother Jing."

Recognizing whose voice it was, Cen Le's expression changed.

Although he only heard it once, Cen Le's hearing is very good and his memory is not bad, so he quickly recognized Jing Hengling's voice.

Turning his head, he saw Jing Hengling standing three steps away from them, watching them with a smile.

Seeing Jing Hengling, Mu Chen's expression turned cold, and his eyes were full of vigilance.

Jing Hengling didn't care about Mu Chen, but looked straight at Cen Le, "Do you still remember me?"

Today Qingzhu was not there, he followed Gu Fangyou back to Taohua Village, Gu Fangyou suddenly planned to close the clinic, they went back to pack their things, otherwise he would definitely stop Jing Hengling and not let Jing Hengling go upstairs.

Cen Le calmed down, and wrote: "I'm sorry, sir, I don't know you."

"It's okay, we can get to know each other again." Jing Hengling smiled half-smile, with an ambiguous tone, "But if you forget again later, I will be angry."

Cen Le remained expressionless and wrote, "I don't need to know you."

Jing Hengling didn't seem to be angry, he still stared at Cen Le, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is this how you treat guests?"

"Treating guests requires hospitality."

"Interesting." Jing Hengling suddenly smiled. He took a bottle of essential oil and fixed his eyes on Cen Le, "I'm a guest now, right?"

Cen Le frowned, feeling uncomfortable being watched.

Mu Chen's lips were drawn into a straight line, and he stood up, blocking Jing Hengling's sight with his body.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Qin Ming also frowned.

Everyone in Suzhou City knew about Jing Hengling's scandal, and his actions clearly showed that he was interested in Cen Le.

How did this trouble come to Cen Le? !

He and Jing Hengling have always been at odds with each other, and they will hurt each other when they meet, but now he speaks directly, and said bluntly: "I heard that something happened to the Jing family's business in Yangzhou, and it even alarmed the government... But brother Jing's methods are really clever , it’s been settled in a few days.”

Only then did Jing Hengling's eyes fall on Qin Ming, "I can't compare to you, brother Qin, as a bastard, but you can do such a thing."

Qin Ming is not the son of the Qin family, he is born of a concubine, although he is the eldest son, he is not a son of the son, and he cannot inherit the property of the Qin family, so he came out early, started with only 200 taels of silver, and kept the jade all the time. The shop has reached its current scale.

In the early years, Qin Ming still cared about the status of his concubine son, and every time someone mentioned it, he felt choked up in his heart, but now, he has let go of it, so Jing Hengling's deliberately sarcastic words did not make him angry , has no effect at all.

He also cupped his hands and responded with a smile: "Thank you Brother Jing for your praise."

Seeing that Qin Ming was unmoved, a trace of surprise flashed in Jing Hengling's eyes.

At this time, Song Yunxiu opened his mouth, "Brother Jing's business, is it also going to involve the rouge and gouache?"

"I can't do this woman's business." Jing Hengling looked away from Qin Ming, glanced at Mu Chen standing in front of Cen Le, smiled, and did not hide his thoughts at all, "I just heard that There is a shop on West Street that has a unique way of doing business, and the shopkeeper is a beauty, so I came here out of curiosity, Brother Song, as you know, I don’t have many interests, the only two interests are business and beauties.”

He said as he walked, passed Mu Chen, walked straight to Cen Le, and stared at Cen Le with wanton eyes, "I thought it was an exaggeration, but the beauty is indeed a beauty, but it's the first time I see you. I am more interested in people, but now I am even more curious about the way this business operates.”

"I really want to see how many surprising ways you have in this business." Jing Hengling said this to Cen Le.

With a cold face, Mu Chen blocked Jing Hengling again.

Jing Hengling was about the same height as Mu Chen, he looked at Mu Chen, and suddenly smiled, "If I want him, do you think you can stop me?"

There was a chill in Mu Chen's eyes, "Even if your body is smashed to pieces, I won't let you touch Cen Le in the slightest."

Jing Hengling sneered, looking at Mu Chen like an ant.

After a while, he said to Cen Le again: "Last time you tore up my famous post and drove away my disciples. I was actually very angry. Except for Gu Fangyou, no one dared to face me like this, but I ordered people After inquiring about you, I suddenly lost my temper after hearing it. You make me very interested.

Gu Fangyou must have told you about me, right?But you can rest assured that although I love beauties, I cherish talents even more. Compared with your appearance, I appreciate your unique insights into business management. There are so many people today that it is not suitable for conversation. I will come again next time, I hope At that time, you will no longer have such hospitality. "

After finishing speaking, he took out ten taels of silver to pay for the essential oil, then turned around and went downstairs.

After a while, Cen Le tugged on La Muchen's sleeve.

Only then did Mu Chen sit back beside Cen Le, and under the cover of his sleeves, he tightly held Cen Le's hand.

Seeing that the hated person finally left, Qin Ming quickly asked Cen Le, "What's the matter, why did you mess with that guy?"

Cen Le smiled wryly, and could only let Mu Chen briefly mention the details of the future to Qin Ming and Song Yunxiu.

After listening, Qin Ming silently drank a cup of tea, "Your way of doing business is really eye-catching, no wonder it makes people jealous."

After being silent for a while, he suddenly thought of something, poked Song Yunxiu's waist again, and said, "Didn't your family have a few disciples who can practice martial arts? Why don't you lend one to Cen Le, otherwise if Jing Hengling makes a dirty trick, Where can Cen Le escape?"

Glancing at Qin Ming, Song Yunxiu was a little helpless, but Cen Le was not only Qin Ming's friend, but also Gu Fangyou's friend, and he was always unexpected. You won't lose money.

Thinking of this, he said: "Among the diners in my house, there happens to be one who is very interested in business. I will let him come over tomorrow."

Cen Le's eyes lit up, feeling extremely pleasantly surprised.

But soon a little worry arose again, he hesitated, and wrote: "If you help me, will Jing Hengling trouble you?"

"will not."

Song Yunxiu said slowly, "Although the Jing family has the lord as a backer, His Majesty is a rare and enlightened monarch. Even the lord would not dare to take advantage of the situation to bully others, let alone we are both imperial merchants. If he wants to move me, he needs to After approval by the Ministry of Household Affairs, he still has no way to stretch his hand so far."

If not, he would not have lent someone to Gu Fangyou back then, letting Gu Fangyou lead someone into Jing's house.

Cen Le said: "In that case, I would like to thank Young Master Song."

Mu Chen stood up and bowed to Song Yunxiu, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Song Yunxiu took another look at Mu Chen, with a look of complacency on his face.

He turned his head again and looked at Qin Ming who was beside him. Seeing Qin Ming showing a satisfied smile, he also smiled slowly, his eyes full of doting.

Thinking of something, Cen Le said again: "By the way, Young Master Qin, I have something to discuss with you."
