Chapter 143 Dongfang Meng
From Sanwei Bookstore, I returned to Baicao Garden.
In the study in the backyard, Bai Shaoqiu was talking about the past with Manager Wen and Uncle Fu.
Those past events were too painful to recall, but Bai Shaoqiu still spoke of them in detail.
There was no regret for the past in his words; he spoke very calmly.
Very peaceful too.
In the eyes of Manager Wen and Uncle Fu, this is a sign that the young master has truly matured.
In the eyes of He Xiaofeng, who was leaning against the door frame with his arms folded and a piece of horsetail grass in his mouth...it was probably difficult for the Silver Hook Casino to make a penny from this kid!
This is what it means to turn over a new leaf.
Now Bai Shaoqiu is mature.
steady,
He even has a maturity that doesn't match his age!
He has a clear goal for the future.
They are also very clear about their needs.
"As for my ambitions...don't place any expectations on me."
Bai Shaoqiu smiled and poured a cup of tea for the two old men, then said:
"I hope you can manage this Sanwei Bookstore well and make it profitable... It doesn't need to be too much, just enough to cover our future expenses."
"I'm an amateur in business."
"Just do it with confidence!"
"Even if I really lose money, I won't blame you. After all, in business, no one can guarantee that there will only be profits and no losses."
"As for next year's trip to Kyoto, you don't have to worry too much. I'm just a pawn."
Bai Shaoqiu turned his head and looked at He Xiaofeng, "He is very skilled in martial arts. He will be by my side during the trip to Kyoto."
"Also... the palace also hopes that my trip to Kyoto will go smoothly."
"On the one hand, they hope I can convince the Emperor to rescind the imperial decree granting the marriage. On the other hand... since I'm a chess piece, the palace will always hope that I can make more moves on the board and not be easily defeated."
"So, although I haven't discussed this matter with the prince, given his wisdom, he will definitely make some arrangements."
"I don't need to worry about those things for now. Next, I would like to give some suggestions for the activities on the opening day of Sanwei Bookstore."
"Even good wine needs a bush."
"I thought so……"
Before Bai Shaoqiu finished speaking, the clouds of worry on the faces of Wen Da, the shopkeeper, and Fu Bo had not yet dissipated, when a voice like spring thunder suddenly rang out from outside:
"Brother-in-law!"
"You won't take me out to play?"
"I haven't seen you for a few days. I missed you so much...!"
A woman's voice came: "Don't make noise... Can't you lower your voice a little?"
This is Xiaoxi's voice.
Sure enough, Dongfang Meng's voice suddenly became quieter:
"No, I miss my brother-in-law. Where is he?"
"Come with me!"
Xiao Xi brought Dongfang Meng to the backyard and came to the door of the study.
Dongfang Meng's slightly dull eyes directly ignored He Xiaofeng who was leaning against the door frame!
He stretched out a hand, and with a whoosh...
He Xiaofeng was grabbed and dragged into the yard!
Before he could come to his senses, Dongfang Meng had already walked in.
"Brother-in-law...!"
Dongfang Meng's broad face revealed a genuine joy. He raised his sleeve to wipe his mouth, "My injury is healed. From today on, I will sleep with you!"
Bai Shaoqiu's eyes suddenly widened: "...Don't!"
"This is what Dad ordered!"
"Even your father's orders are not allowed... You can live in the Princess's Mansion, but you must not sleep with me!"
"Oh, okay. I heard from Lao Yu that you were holding the stone pillar? Let's have a competition when we get back."
Where are the beanie girls!
Lao Yu said that Sibaozi could pick up the 800-jin iron pillar and run around the martial arts field dozens of times!
How the hell can I compare with him?
"Well, let's talk about this after we get back. Is your injury...really healed?"
"All right!"
Dongfang Meng patted his buttocks and smiled innocently: "Dad said that from now on, I will not leave your side."
"Dad also said that if you go to Kyoto next year, I will go with you!"
"..."
Of course it would be great to take this tough guy to Kyoto!
He is the fourth son of the Zhenxi Palace!
If anyone in Kyoto wants to harm him, with these four young masters standing in front of him, those people will always have to think twice before taking action.
Bai Shaoqiu laughed happily: "Sibaozi, come and sit next to your brother-in-law."
Dongfang Meng also walked over happily and sat down...
"Click!" A sound!
The bench broke with a sound!
The two of them plopped down on the ground, staring at each other. Suddenly, there was silence.
Dongfang scratched his head fiercely and smiled innocently: "This thing is not strong enough."
Xiao Xi looked at Dongfang Meng with a painful expression and glared at him, "Don't you know how to sit down more gently?!"
She already knew that this big guy was the fourth young master of the palace, but she still didn't treat him as the fourth young master.
"Compensate!"
"You broke it while sitting on it!"
Dongfang Meng stood up from the ground, looked at Xiao Xi and smiled innocently: "Okay, I'll go with you."
As he said this, he pulled out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and handed them to Xiao Xi: "Is this enough? If not, I have more!"
Xiao Xi: “…”
She took one and looked at it. It was worth one hundred taels.
After thinking for a moment, he put the hundred taels of silver into his sleeve pocket and said, "This one is enough. Keep the rest for yourself."
"Sister Xiaoxi, I won't take care of the money, I'll leave it to you."
Xiao Xi blushed slightly, "I won't manage your money!"
"You gave me chicken soup. You are the closest person to me besides my brother-in-law. If you don't help me, who will?"
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Xi's face turned red.
She bit her lip, glared at Dongfang Meng fiercely, and took the stack of banknotes from Dongfang Meng's hand without any hesitation. After thinking for a while, she argued:
"I went to the Princess's Mansion to bring chicken soup to the young master. I didn't expect the young master wasn't here, so I let you get away with it."
Dongfang Meng raised his arm and wiped his mouth: "Hehe, anyway, I drank the chicken soup. The chicken soup you stewed is really delicious!"
"I want to drink it for the rest of my life, okay?"
Xiao Xi ran away in shame.
He Xiaofeng had just stood in front of the door, leaning against the door frame, when Xiao Xi, in a panic, bumped into him...
He was knocked back and almost fell to the ground!
It’s not easy to be a doorman!
Bai Shaoqiu was also looking at Dongfang Meng at this time. Is this guy planning to take advantage of Xiaoxi?
Could this be what it means to be wise but appear foolish?
Uncle Fu took a puff of his cigarette, a faint smile on his old face. He stood up and fetched two stools. "Is this the Fourth Young Master?"
Dongfang Meng grinned and nodded, then sat down cautiously, looking at Uncle Fu's pipe, which was flickering...
"What does this thing taste like?"
"Want to try?"
"it is good!"
Uncle Fu handed over the pipe, and Dongfang Meng imitated Uncle Fu and took a deep puff...
"Cough cough cough cough...!"
He coughed violently.
Tears are flowing!
"You old man...is this thing...poisonous?!"
Xiao Xi turned back at this moment:
"That's my grandpa, how dare you call him old man?"
Dongfang Meng stopped coughing immediately and tears started streaming down his face. Xiao Xi handed him a handkerchief. He took it, wiped his face, and casually put the handkerchief into his sleeve pocket.
He handed the pipe back to Uncle Fu with both hands and smiled innocently:
"Grandpa, this stuff... tastes good!"
Bai Shaoqiu was shocked again!
Damn it, who dares to say that Sibaozi has an intellectual problem?
This guy...he is the real one who is pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger!
There was a brief silence, and then a burst of hearty laughter came from outside the door:
"Brother Bai...Brother, I'm here!"
