Cute Beauty’s Romantic Affairs - C113
The one who had come was none other than Zhu Zixiu. Compared to the other day, when he had dressed normally, he looked more like a nouveau riche.
Jiaoniang had already known from the start that he was listening to the commotion in the room, she never would have thought that he would actually come in and speak up for her.
Two days ago, when Jiaoniang came to the county, he went to look for Qiao Ke as usual. Not long after he arrived at the Qiao Family Restaurant, an attendant came knocking on his door, “Which one is young lady Jiaoniang, my master wishes to invite you to have a chat with him.”
Jiaoniang did not come alone, but she did. When Ye Xuan followed her to the county, and heard that his master was the wealthiest person in the city, he thought back and realised that he did not recognize this person. When Qiao Ke heard that it was Zhu Zixiu’s big name, he tensed up.
A few days ago, he sent someone over to ask if I know you. I was ambiguous and was afraid that he would find you and do something bad, but I didn’t think that this person would still come.
However, this was the first time Jiaoniang heard this person’s name, so how could he have any impression of him? Why do I feel like you’re a little flustered? ”
Qiao Ke sighed and explained, “If he was a normal rich person, I would not have to be afraid of him, but Master Zhu is different.”
Qiao Ke then explained the situation in the county. This Zhu Zixiu controlled an entire county’s worth of shipping and he also got to know the bandits on the road. There were very few in the city who dared to provoke him, and because of this, the county magistrate wanted him to split his profits. However, in the past, he had not heard of anyone from Zhu Family who liked to rob good ladies, so why would they look for Jiaoniang this time?
did not know whether to laugh or cry at Qiao Ke’s words. She had not explained her intentions for coming here yet and had already become a lustful beauty, she did not think that this person would be a lustful person, if not he would send someone to invite her.
Jiaoniang pondered for a moment and decided that he would be the richest man in the city. Of course, he would bring Ye Xuan along. The servant invited Jiaoniang onto the palanquin, and Ye Xuan followed him outside.
This was Jiaoniang’s first time experiencing transport that wasn’t an ox cart, it was four porters carrying a palanquin, it was smooth and stable walking, Jiaoniang didn’t have a special heart of a mother, he felt that this wasn’t right, everyone just had their own path of survival.
But she was still a little uneasy. From time to time, she would lift the curtain and look outside. Ye Xuan would walk side by side with her.
When he arrived at the Zhu Family mansion and saw the wealthiest person in the city, Master Zhu, Jiaoniang felt that he looked a little familiar. Only then did the man smile and explain: “I’ve been looking for my benefactor for a while, and the recipe you told me that day was really useful! Now my father is much better. ”
When he said that, Jiaoniang had a little impression of him. On that day, after discussing business cooperation with Uncle Liao, she was called out by a middle-aged man who seemed to be travel worn out, and asked about the treatment for diabetes. Didn’t he say that his family did not have much money? How did he become the richest person in the world?
Jiaoniang didn’t understand whether he was modest or not, and replied smilingly: “No wonder I felt that your temperament was extraordinary that day, so it turned out that Master Zhu had intentionally hidden his identity, but that extraordinary temperament of his still betrayed you.”
Zhu Zixiu sat in the center of the room, not moving at all as he carried some tea and watched her struggle to curry favor. On that day, he had just finished shipping a goods and after two or three months of travel, he didn’t even have the time to change his clothes.
“I do not wish to hide it from you, I am just anxious to save you, so please forgive me for not being able to explain.” Zhu Zixiu did not poke her, as she had indeed saved his life. I invited young lady here today because I have something that I need your help with. ”
Then, Zhu Zixiu told her his request. First, he wanted to donate a thousand gold, then he would ask the county magistrate for him to fix the canal. Then, he would use this thousand gold as a carrot and order Jiaoniang to the rich people in the city to discuss things.
Jiaoniang did not mention the shock in his heart during this entire process. This man who claimed that both black and white roads worked in the city indeed knew a lot of things, even the land that she wanted as a beach knew of. But thinking about it, Jiaoniang understood the reason.
The pier was the location of the Zhu Family, and the beach that Jiaoniang wanted wasn’t far from there. If he didn’t go through the Zhu Family, Jiaoniang wouldn’t be able to get that piece of land even if he lost his legs.
However, Jiaoniang could not understand why Zhu Family would insist him to appear. It was obvious that the effect would be better if he appeared, since Zhu Family was holding onto the throat of the Qingyuan County merchants.
“A rabbit riding an eagle can kill an eagle, let alone a human.” Zhu Zixiu did not directly respond to Jiaoniang, but Jiaoniang understood.
Zhu Family was a sharp blade that hung above their heads, and no one was willing to put themselves in danger at any time. If Zhu Family was too excessive, those people would probably fight to the death with him even if they lost their lives.
Just like the matter of the donation, the county magistrate had nowhere to let Zhu Family take over, so he didn’t know what kind of price he had to pay, but since the Zhu Family wasn’t willing to handle it himself, he could only find an agent to represent, and the best person he could find was Jiaoniang. He didn’t mind Jiaoniang revealing the identity of the person behind his back, as well as giving a signal to those people, “I’m not directly involved in this matter, I’m just helpless, so I might as well take a step back.”
Jiaoniang figured out the crux of the matter and was no longer suspicious. On one hand, she was not a man, even if there were people who were interested in her, they would not suspect that she had wild ambitions, and would probably think that she was a pitiful worm who had been forced to do so. On the other hand, Jiaoniang’s strength was too weak, so even if he had Zhu Family behind him, it would not pose a threat to them.
Every step that the merchants took was like a game of chess. Sometimes, every step they took would require them to think of thousands of steps in the future, and Jiaoniang had no choice but to take this step, it was too enticing.
Even if Jiaoniang wanted to use her own strength to make this step, when it really came time for development, she discovered that she was thinking too simply, her Qingyuan County was like a huge iron pot, everyone was fighting over a mouthful of food, there were too few people eating too much, so there was no way out of the iron pot, no matter what she did, she could only expand.
If he didn’t have the Zhu Family to discuss this matter with her, Jiaoniang originally planned to borrow the strength of the Wu Family to take this step forward.
Who would have thought that someone would send him a pillow when he was sleepy. Jiaoniang laughed and agreed.
Zhu Zixiu was using her, and she was using Zhu Zixiu as well. She didn’t need to feel too much guilt towards each other, it was simply an extremely good deal.
Just why would Zhu Zixiu stand out and speak for her?
Zhu Zixiu did not want to either, and he did not want his own father to poke a finger in his nose and scold him for being heartless and unjust!
