When it was confirmed that Master Zhao had left, anxious expression appeared on Qingzhuang's face. She looked at Du Suxi and said hesitantly.
"Miss, are we talking too much? Five hundred taels, this slave has never seen so much money in her life."
"Qingzhuang, from now on, let alone five hundred taels, even fifty thousand taels, you don't have to take it seriously." Du Suxi looked at the timid Qingzhuang and smiled brightly. But he sighed slightly in his heart.
This Qingzhuang is loyal to himself, but he is too timid and has too narrow a vision to take on a big responsibility.
Looking at Qingzhuang who was biting her lip with a regretful look on her face, Du Suxi pursed her lips and didn't say much. She just asked Qingzhuang to sort out some ancient books from the dynasties and sit in the sunshine in the small courtyard to read them alone.
It took Du Suxi several days to figure out everything about this dynasty. The dynasty of the Tiansheng Dynasty that I was in was equivalent to the northern and southern periods in Chinese history, with internal and external troubles and turbulent times. Mongolia was eyeing it in the north, Wei State was standing next to it in the south, and Qi State was entrenched in the north.
In such a chaotic period, there's no telling when war will break out, right? Du Suxi's heart tightened again when she thought of this.
As the saying goes, mountains will fall when they rely on support, and water will flow when they rely on water. Du Suxi never believed in the word "backer". She was a killer, an independent killer. If the killer had someone to rely on, she would not be able to survive.
Fortunately, Du Yunxi and her daughter have not come to make trouble in the past two days. It is probably the father of this body who warned them, so they have not dared to blatantly cause trouble in the past few days.
But what Du Suxi didn't know was that Du Yunxi had always been praised as a proud daughter of heaven, and she had never suffered such a great injustice. Now that she was insulted by a concubine whom she had always looked down on, how could she let it go so easily? Du Suxi? He has been hiding for the past few days, but he and Ye are planning a strategy behind the scenes to make Du Suxi unable to fight back.
If Ye's mother and daughter didn't come, Du Suxi would be left in peace. The sun was shining brightly that day, and Du Suxi was practicing martial arts from her previous life in the inner courtyard when she heard Qingzhuang's voice coming from outside the door.
"Miss, Master Zhao from Jinxiufang is here." Qingzhuang walked in and saw her young lady practicing those "indecent" martial arts again, frowned and whispered.
"Miss, it's not good for you to be seen like this."
Du Suxi calmly stopped, looked at Qingzhuang's nervous look, smiled, and explained.
"Qingzhuang, the current situation is turbulent. Even a daughter's family should have the ability to protect itself. Do you understand?"
Seeing Qingzhuang's specious expression, Du Suxi smiled and walked out of the door without explaining.
Master Zhao, wearing a navy blue gown, stood in the yard waiting respectfully. When he saw Du Suxi coming out, he immediately put on a smile.
"Congratulations to the second young lady of the Du family. Congratulations to the second young lady of the Du family. I have never seen such beautiful clothes."
After Master Zhao said that, he handed the red tray in his hand to Du Suxi. Du Suxi squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while, but his eyes fell on the young man behind Master Zhao, frowning slightly. The tone was neither salty nor bland.
"Who is this guy?"
"It's my apprentice, named Jing Ke. I just brought him out to see the world." Master Zhao explained with a smile.
Du Suxi seemed not to hear, looking at the man named Jing Ke calmly.
He was obviously wearing ordinary coarse linen clothes, and his pigtails were tied randomly at the back of his head, but it couldn't cover up the elegance of his body. His eyebrows and eyes were like God's elaborate sculptures, with a high nose and thin lips. Her lips formed a thin line, and her eyes were not afraid of her own gaze at all. Instead, she raised her eyes and fearlessly accepted her own scrutiny.
There is absolutely no way this man is as simple as an apprentice. Du Suxi thought to herself. Slightly curved lips, showing a smile
laugh.
"Really? Master Zhao is really lucky to have such a good disciple." Her tone was unclear, and she took her eyes away from the man and focused on Master Zhao again. Although her voice was soft, it made people subconsciously afraid contempt.
"Master Zhao, have you thought about it? My design is five hundred taels, not a penny less."
"Well... Miss Du Er, your asking price is too..." Master Zhao looked embarrassed. Du Suxi looked at Master Zhao, with a hint of haze in her eyes, and directly waved her sleeves and gave instructions to Qingzhuang.
"Take your clothes and see the guests off."
It seems that my temper is too good, which is why Master Zhao thinks about the price again and again. I just don’t know what the sponsor’s reaction was. Thinking of this, Du Suxi lowered her eyes, glanced at Jing Ke, and immediately looked away when she saw that he was also looking at her. Pretend to be annoyed and leave.
Master Zhao looked at Du Suxi's decisive look and immediately became anxious. He glanced at Jing Ke searchingly, but he saw that Jing Ke had been looking at Miss Du Er and ignored his own thoughts. He immediately gritted his teeth and said loudly. The voice stopped him.
"Wait a minute, Miss Du Er, everything is negotiable. Five hundred taels, just five hundred taels!"
"Really? Master Zhao, are you the master? Do you want to ask again, your master?" Du Suxi turned around, with a hint of mockery at the corner of her mouth, turned around and sat down at the Qingzhuang table. He came to sit on the pear wood Taishi chair and stared at Master Zhao quietly.
"Miss Du Er, what do you mean? Will I still lie to you? Since I dare to agree, I will naturally be the master."
Being so slighted by a little girl, Master Zhao's old face couldn't stand it. He snorted coldly and looked at Jing Ke cautiously. Seeing that Jing Ke didn't mean to blame him at all, Master Zhao felt even more confident. Demonstratingly, he He also puffed out his chest to show that he was not afraid of Du Suxi at all.
Seeing Master Zhao's confident look, Du Suxi chuckled lightly, took out ten pieces of old-brown paper from his sleeve, and waved it in his hand, making the paper's characteristic flying sound. Coupled with her clear voice like a silver bell, it makes people almost fascinated.
"Really? But I have ten drawings here, each of which is a valuable unique design. Are you sure that you can be the master? Five thousand taels, no more, no less, is the price of a big house. "
"Ten? Where did you get so many drawings?" Master Zhao's eyes widened and he looked at Du Suxi in surprise.
Darling, this little girl from the Du family, one piece is enough to make him feel distressed, but she actually takes out ten? What if I agree? This little girl took out another hundred
The more Master Zhao thought about it, the more he became afraid. This was simply a bottomless pit that couldn’t be filled! No, you have to ask carefully.
"I said these things all came out of my head. Whether you believe it or not, I believe these things will be a big surprise to any embroidery shop in the capital, right?"
Like a villain, Du Suxi deliberately raised the paper in her hand in front of Master Zhao.
"you you you… "
Why is this girl from the Du family so messy? He is simply a born businessman! Kill without showing blood, eat without spitting out the bones!
Master Zhao felt hatred in his heart. Just as he was about to leave, he saw Jing Ke nodding appreciatively and standing up from behind him. Holding hands and fists is considered a courtesy.
"This girl is really brave, Jing Ke admires her."
"I don't dare. Mr. Jing Ke can have such a big family business as Jinxiufang at such a young age. That's what makes Su Xi admire him."
snort! He looks so young, but he is just a second-generation rich man who relies on his father's family's wealth and spends money everywhere. How can he pretend to be an apprentice? snort! Look bad at me this time
Okay, I'll kill you once!
Du Suxi smiled on the outside, but in her heart she despised this talented young master Jing Ke.
Jing Ke's eyes lit up, he stepped forward, looked at Du Suxi, and praised.
"I heard from people that Du Yunxi, the eldest daughter of the Du family, is unparalleled in talent and appearance, and is known as one of the "immortals among the clouds." In my opinion, the second daughter of the Du family is probably just as smart and talented. ?”
"I don't dare, Su Xi is still far from my elder sister, but after all, I am also the second young lady of the Du family. The young master had better know whether men and women are intimate or not, otherwise, Su Xi is still willing to make this business with the young master. of."
Du Suxi stood up and instead of retreating, she took a few steps forward and looked at Jing Ke from close range, smiling like a flower.
This Jing Ke? She is just a little fox who dares to use words to plot against her, but she is not some little white rabbit who has never seen the world! How could he suffer his losses in vain
Looking at Du Suxi who was defending herself like a hedgehog in front of him, Jing Ke laughed. A hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes, and he clapped his hands.
"Okay! As expected, he is a hero among women. Jing Ke is sincerely convinced. Miss Du Er, I will buy all the drawings you have!"
"Okay, I'll pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation!"
Anyway, it’s your money. If you don’t feel bad, I’ll draw a few more pictures. Anyway, there are so many strange things about modern clothes! I’m really not afraid that I won’t be able to make money from you! Du Suxi thought with peace of mind and took a few steps back. Sitting on the pear wood chair again, he smiled lazily and looked at Jing Ke calmly like a cat enjoying himself.
This woman is simply amazing! Jing Ke sighed secretly in his heart, feeling that his heart was beating uneasily like a cat tickling him.
Such a woman shouldn't let go no matter what she says. Originally, his target was only Du Yunxi, the eldest daughter of the Du family, but now, he seems to have met a more interesting little wild cat.
He frowned slightly, already having an idea.
"Miss Du Er, you should understand that I am a businessman. I appreciate Miss Du Er's talent and that's why I bought these drawings at a high price. However, businessmen value profits. I believe Miss Du Er will never watch me lose money, right? "
The more Du Suxi listened, the more she frowned, staring closely at that peerless face.
This man! What a little fox that is more cunning than the old fox! How could this be? How can you be so shameless
It was obvious that he valued the commercial value of the drawings, but yet he slapped himself with such a high-sounding label, dragging himself to join him and work as a gunman for free? How can there be such a good thing in this world? Du Suxi almost wanted to give Jing Ke a big look, but when she thought of her plan, she endured it.
So what if it's unreasonable? She really needs money now. People under the eaves had to lower their heads. Thinking of this, Du Suxi looked at Jing Ke calmly, her eyes gradually became colder, and her tone became cold.
"In return, I will wear every piece of clothing I design and attend various public events to bring Jinxiufang to a higher level."
"With Miss Du Er supporting Jinxiufang so much, it would be great." Jing Ke smiled and nodded, as if we were good partners. But he didn't know that when he looked at Du Suxi's eyes with a kind smile, it was exactly the evil smile of a little fox after he succeeds! She snorted coldly, vomited a sigh of relief, stood up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Jing Ke. He looked at Du Suxi with interest and asked doubtfully.
"Miss Du Er, you haven't told me yet, how did you find out my identity? Is Jing Ke very curious about this?"
"Do you want to know? Because I am Du Suxi." Du Suxi dropped a smile and left Jing Ke, took the money from Master Zhao, entered the house, closed the door, and counted the money!
