I was Idle and Cool Chapter 116: Sheng Longchang

Compared to the capital, Baoding is really a small place.

Lu Jinxi's group of 20 young people is nothing in the capital, but in this world, they are somewhat eye-catching.

Fortunately, it was too late to enter the city, there were not many people, and it did not attract much attention.

The inn that I want to stay in is He Xing who sent two brothers to the outpost early in the morning to find them in the city, so as soon as they arrived, they went straight in.

An upper room was given to Lu Jinxi.

Except Qingque was serving in Lu Jinxi's room, everyone else was in two rooms, just in case there was an accident that wasn't easy to take care of.

It's been a lot of work for the past few days, and I have to leave the next day after taking a rest on the first day. Now that I have finally arrived in Baoding, Lu Jinxi has finally made up his mind.

It's just that she's not in a hurry to go to Shenglongchang to talk things over.

After eating that night, I directly asked Qingque and the shopkeeper to inquire about the situation of Shenglongchang in the city, and explained to He Xing that a few people would be sent to Shenglongchang to take a look tomorrow morning, and then we stopped.

After all, Mrs. Lu had been seriously ill at the beginning, and her health was not very good. These days, Lu Jinxi couldn't bear it very much. She fell asleep almost as soon as her head touched the pillow.

This sleep is noon the next day.

When she opened her eyes to look, the window was already white.

"Why didn't you wake me up?"

Lu Jinxi blinked and got used to it, only to realize that Qing Que had noticed it and came over to her.

So propped up and asked a question.

Qing Que had already washed up, and hurriedly came to help her, only smiled: "My servant sees that you are tired these days, and you said last night that since you are in Baoding, things are not in a hurry. So I want you to sleep. I'm sorry, I didn't call you in time."

That's true.

It feels good to sleep until you wake up naturally.

Lu Jinxi's body was a little sore, so Qingque squeezed him before getting up and getting out of bed. After that, I got dressed and washed, and ate breakfast and lunch in the room, and finally got up in spirit.

"Yesterday you said that you would send a few people from He Xing's side to investigate. He was going to come back and forth about an hour ago, but you were still asleep at the time. Now, do you want to call him over and report the situation to you?"

Qing Que cleaned the cup and plate and asked her.

Lu Jinxi thought for a while, then shook his head: "You don't have to ask him to come over, the weather is fine today, ask him to come out, go to the street to accompany me to have a look, and talk as we go."

"Yes."

Qing Que also felt that this matter should be taken so seriously, for fear that Lu Jinxi could not see enough and couldn't investigate thoroughly.

After all, although my wife didn't say it, she can guess that the cost of this business must be her own money.

Lu Jin slightly adjusted his cuffs and walked out.

Blue Sparrow followed behind him.

They live on the second floor, and downstairs is the lobby of the inn. When it was time to eat at noon, there were not many people, but there were quite a few.

This kind of place is not too big or too small, and people who live there can recognize a familiar face, but a new face is very abrupt here.

Not to mention, two women.

Especially among them, Lu Jinxi, even if the dress is more ordinary, it can't hide her beauty and slender figure.

The talent came downstairs, and the lobby was silent.

Drinkers and meat eaters all stopped.

In a place like this, where can you see such a good-looking and extravagant woman? Looked dumbfounded for a while.

He Xing was eating below with a few brothers. He didn't expect Lu Jinxi to come down like this. After reacting, he frowned, put his chopsticks down, and walked over quickly.

"Mrs..."

"Have you eaten yet?"

Lu Jinxi didn't care about the gazes of others, glanced at it, and asked He Xing directly.

She didn't explain too many things, He Xing didn't do much work in the morning, and he was not a rice bucket. He was full after eating for a while. Hearing what she said, he knew that something was wrong, so he said: "Have a good meal, you This is?"

"That's good, let's go out with me."

Lu Jinxi didn't stop at her feet, she walked out of the inn and stood on the street outside.

It's bustling with people coming and going.

Compared to when they came here yesterday, it was a lot more lively.

This inn is diagonally opposite to another restaurant. There are large and small shops along the street, and willows are planted on both sides of the road. At this time, the catkins had already drifted past faintly, and thousands of emerald green silk sashes fell down, but it was very beautiful.

He Xing followed, looked around, and said, "The subordinates around here have already turned around, and Sheng Longchang turned right at the front street intersection seventy or eighty paces. I sent someone to check it out this morning. The store was still open, the delivery time came before dawn, and the goods were taken away early in the morning. But they counted, and there were only a dozen people going back and forth, and the volume of goods was not large. It's all skin and herbal materials. The business is good or bad, but not bad."

This is similar to what Lu Jinxi expected.

She nodded, and as she walked forward, she continued to ask, "Their boss should already be here, right?"

"I also inquired about it, and I arrived in Baoding two days ago." He Xing slowed down and followed behind her, paying attention to the surrounding situation, "But he is not the only one who has come to Baoding these days. One."

"More than one?"

Lu Jinxi was a little surprised.

He Xingdao: "I only heard about it today that Baoding will soon have a second Sheng Longchang. You don't believe it is such a coincidence. After Second Master Sheng arrived here, Master Sheng also arrived. There are rumors that the eldest man is going to build a semicolon in Baoding, isn't this a hit? There are still some disputes."

"Second Master Sheng" refers to Sheng Xuan, who inherited the family of Shenglongchang, Shaanxi;

Judging from the current situation, the uncle Sheng Hong is naturally much better than the second master Sheng Xuan.

If you judge from a purely commercial perspective, at least on the surface, Sheng Hong should be better than Sheng Xuan.

But Lu Jinxi remembered what Gu Juefei said.

Anyone can be a hero in terms of results.

But things in the business world can change rapidly, and not all winners have the talent to match their achievements, and not all losers are useless.

There must be a reason for the second master Sheng Xuan to be favored by Gu Juefei, who is very angry.

So listening to He Xing's words at this moment, Lu Jinxi frowned slightly, pondered for a while, and then smiled: "For me, this is not a bad thing, maybe it is a good thing. First go to Shenglongchang to see the situation of the company."

"Yes."

He Xing said what he should have said, and he didn't understand more, so he just followed Lu Jinxi silently.

Lu Jinxi said she was going to Shenglongchang, but she was not in a hurry.

I pass by some shops along the way, and I also walk in to see it. I also ask the price from time to time. I chat with the second or the shopkeeper, but I don't buy anything.

He Xing didn't know what he and she were doing at first, but after three or five families came down, he could see the depth.

This is to measure the market conditions of the shops in Baoding and the price of the goods.

In all fairness, if He Xing were to do business by himself, he would definitely be the same as Lu Jinxi, and he would first figure out the situation before doing it. This is not something that ordinary people can't think of, and there is nothing clever about it.

But Lu Jinxi did it...

It's such an understatement that it doesn't make any sense.

I don't know if it's because she's too good-looking and has a kind expression. After three or two clichés, others will tell her everything.

This congratulatory trip can't be done.

Not long after following Lu Jinxi's side, he felt that he had opened his eyes.

When he came out of the ninth shop, his face was a little more thoughtful.

Lu Jinxi saw it and asked, "What's wrong?"

"No, it's not." He Xing hurriedly denied it, but seeing Lu Jinxi's gaze was a little strange, he replied in an uncertain tone, "It's just that I suddenly feel that you are very similar to the eldest son."

"Like?"

Lu Jinxi raised an eyebrow.

He Xing didn't know how to describe the feeling in his heart, he really thought about it for a while before he said: "It's just like. The feeling that I can't describe, it's very powerful anyway. I feel that if I met you back then, You can also settle a group of us in three or two sentences."

This is true.

Lu Jinxi laughed: "Master Gu was able to deal with you at the beginning, saying that he was able to speak well, but in the final analysis, you still have good intentions in your heart. Even if I deal with you, it is not me that is so good. But you are not wrong to say that I am very similar to Gu Juefei."

What is "not wrong"?

Is that right?

He Xing was a little confused.

Being puzzled, he was about to ask, but Lu Jinxi had already stopped and pointed to the high-hanging plaque not far in front of him: "The one in front is Sheng Longchang, right?"

"...Yes." He Xing was stunned for a moment, then looked in the direction of her finger, and then said, "This is the place, the place is quite big, I think it was left by the old owner. You Do you want to go in and have a look?"

Three storefronts facing the street, one building, with a backyard.

The hanging plaque has large characters in gilt, and the three characters "Sheng Longchang" are quite strong. It's just that the overall look is a bit old, revealing an old feeling.

There are not many people entering and leaving the storefront, only three or two.

Lu Jinxi retracted his hand, stood from a distance and watched for a while, then walked over there and said, "Take a look."

He Xing has no opinion.

Lu Jinxi walked forward, and both he and Qingque followed.

I just didn't expect that, just a few dozen steps away, seeing that I had reached the door, I was about to step in, and a group of people came from the other side of the street, heading straight for Shenglongchang!

"Be careful ma'am!"

Fortunately, He Xing was quick-witted, he protected Lu Jinxi in time, and took a few steps back to avoid being knocked down by this group of people.

A lot of people in their twenties, all very strong and wearing short brown.

But if you look closely, you will find that they all have a round black emblem on their chest with the words "Sheng Longchang" written on it, which looks like Sheng Longchang's buddy.

But looking at this aggressive appearance, it really doesn't look like it.

There were also many people along the street. Seeing such a big battle, they all looked over and whispered. Lu Jinxi stood a little behind He Xing, and could not help but frown quietly, a little curious.

These twenty or so people walk with wind under their feet.

The one with the head looks thinner, with sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks, and a scar on his face that is drawn diagonally to the bridge of his nose, but he wears a literati shirt and holds a paper fan in his hand.

How do you see it, how do you feel violated.

But he shouldn't have this self-awareness himself, instead he thinks that he is personable and has a feeling of "a feather fan and a scarf, chatting and laughing, and the ashes are gone."

People were at the gate of Shenglongchang and entered as soon as they stepped forward.

That appearance is really domineering to the extreme.

Lu Jinxi and the others were outside, and they couldn't see what he looked like when he entered, only to hear a voice with a tone of voice inside.

"My surname is Chen, Mr. Longfang of Sheng Longchang."

"Oh, it's not your tattered Sheng Longchang, it's our Sheng Hong, Sheng Da's Sheng Longchang. Come today, at the order of our master, I'll give you an ultimatum-"

"You are limited to move the nest from here within three days, otherwise don't blame us for being rude!"
