I mentioned something to him in the morning, and he got news about it in the evening. Su Xiaoxiao loved his efficiency.

Mr. Shen shook the big gold chain on his body. At that moment, Su Xiaoxiao felt that he was full of the brilliance of a wise man.

Mr. Shen poured her a cup of tea. When it comes to dealing with people, Mr. Shen is impeccable.

He said, "It's not easy to find your herb. It's lucky you met me. If it were someone else, they might not be able to find any information even if they asked for three to five months."

If you do something well, you must brag about it for three seconds! People who are not engaged in business may not have heard of the Five Elements Alliance, but in the ears of merchants, the Five Elements Alliance is a well-known existence. Its sphere of influence is extremely wide, and even the Great Zhou has merchants from the Five Elements Alliance.

His father was the deputy leader of the Five Elements Alliance. He used his father's name to search for medicinal herbs everywhere. Merchants from various countries had to give his father some face and helped to inquire. Soon, he found this kind of medicinal herb in the hands of a merchant from the Wei State.

"They brought the herbs from Wei all the way here, and planted them in pots. They took great care of them along the way, and spent a lot of time and effort."

Su Xiaoxiao said: "The price is negotiable."

She would buy it even if it cost her a fortune.

Master Shen waved his hand and said, "I, Shen Xin, can still afford to give you just one herb! Besides, we are friends, so we can't be so formal! I have booked a banquet at Dongting Tower. I will be the host tonight. Let's have a meal together and have a couple of drinks. You don't have to drink, Brother Wei will drink, and we can become friends. He has a lot of good herbs, so if you like anything, just ask him!"

As he spoke, he looked around and said, "Huh? Where are Brother Wei and my three little nephews?"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "They went out."

Master Shen said, "Where are you going? I'll send someone to pick you up."

Su Xiaoxiao couldn't tell them that the three kids and Zhuge Qing had gone out, so she said, "The three kids were picked up by my uncle, and Wei Ting went to Feiyue Theater to meet a friend."

"Is your great uncle also in Xidu? Invite him to come over for dinner!"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled: "I don't know where they are going to play."

"Ah." Master Shen was quite regretful. "I will send you to Dongting Tower first, and then go to Feiyue Theater to pick up Brother Wei. If Master Zhou Wu arrives, you two can chat first."

Generally speaking, women would not easily meet strange men, but how discerning was Mr. Shen? As soon as he saw Madam Wei, he knew that she was not a little woman who lived in seclusion in the boudoir, but a woman who could stand on her own.

And this time when it comes to buying herbs, her opinion is the most important, and the Wei brothers all listen to her.

Su Xiaoxiao couldn't find a reason to refuse. She was looking forward to it and was glad to have made friends with Mr. Shen.

Dongtinglou is located in the South City of Xidu. It is the largest restaurant in the city. It has three floors. The higher you go, the higher the price of the rooms. Most people are lucky to get a seat in the lobby on the first floor. You have to spend a lot of money to get a seat on the second floor. Don't even think about getting a seat on the third floor. It won't work even if you have money.

The Five Elements Alliance has one opportunity per month to reserve a room on the third floor.

Mr. Shen decisively ruined his father's opportunity.

He turned around and was whipped again, but we won’t talk about this for now.

Master Shen said, "There is one upstairs, but it is not open to the public. Please sit down for a while. I will go and pick up Brother Wei."

"Okay." Su Xiaoxiao agreed.

She sat by the window, looking at the hustle and bustle of the streets, and felt that it was good not to have war, and that the Western Jin Dynasty was so lively.

I heard that the Great Zhou was once a powerful country, but there were too many wars, which caused great losses to the people and the treasury was empty, making life difficult for the people.

She was drinking tea, and the other party had not arrived yet. She took this opportunity to think about what other medicinal herbs she would need later.

However, sometimes it is not easy for people to find peace and quiet.

Yu Wenjing from the eldest prince's mansion also came to Dongting Tower today, and she was accompanied by several daughters and Guo Lingxi.

Normally, concubines in the harem were not allowed to leave the palace at will. However, the emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty sympathized with her marriage to a distant place and the marriage delegation was about to leave, so he specially allowed her to leave the palace to say goodbye to her family.

There was indeed a half-brother who came to marry, but what kind of feelings could Guo Lingxi have for him? He showed up at Xidu Posthouse and then went out for a stroll with Yu Wenjing.

The two passed by the door of the wing room and saw Su Xiaoxiao sitting inside.

"What a coincidence, we meet again."

Guo Lingxi said with a sneer.

Su Xiaoxiao drank her tea, glanced at her indifferently, and didn't bother to pay attention to her.

Yu Wenjing spoke up for Guo Lingxi: "The Empress Lingfei is talking to you, are you deaf or dumb?"

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly: "She is the Empress Lingfei of your Western Jin Dynasty, not from the Great Zhou Dynasty. Why should I care about her?"

Yu Wenjing said coldly: "She is also the princess of your Great Zhou!"

Su Xiaoxiao was fearless: "So what? This is not the Great Zhou."

Yu Wenjing choked and fell backwards.

Guo Lingxi knew that Su Xiaoxiao's mouth could make people angry to death, so she refused to be led by her. Instead, she took the initiative and asked, "Qin Su, did you go to the wrong place? The third floor of Dongting Building is not for people like you to come."

Yu Wenjing suddenly looked up at Su Xiaoxiao and said, "That's right. Every room here is reserved for people from the Western Jin Dynasty, and you are not from the Western Jin Dynasty!"

The waiter happened to bring up tea.

Yu Wenjing stopped him and said, "Are you going to put anyone on the third floor?"

The waiter smiled awkwardly: "This room was booked by the Five Elements Merchant Alliance, and this girl is a guest of the Five Elements Merchant Alliance."

Upon hearing that Su Xiaoxiao did not come in on her own, Yu Wenjing was speechless again.

Guo Lingxi's eyes flashed, and he asked with a smile: "Jing'er, where is our room?"

"It's inside, in the Tianzi room!" Thinking of her own room, Yu Wenjing regained her sense of superiority.

Guo Lingxi praised: "Jing'er, you are amazing. You were able to book the Tianzi room. I heard that it is the best room in Dongting Building."

Yu Wenjing said proudly: "My father is the eldest prince. We can book any room we want in the eldest prince's mansion. We don't have to beg for favors or use connections."

Guo Lingxi smiled and said, "Let's go. Some people just like to cheat. Who knows what lies she told to get into the Five Elements Alliance's room."

"Who is scheming our Five Elements Alliance?"

The waiter was stuck in the middle and it was difficult for him to behave himself. When he saw him coming, he was as if he had been pardoned: "Master Shen! You are here!"

Yu Wenjing said to Guo Lingxi: "I have seen him in the Grand Prince's Mansion. He is the Deputy Leader Shen of the Five Elements Alliance!"

Deputy Alliance Leader Shen came up to the two of them and bowed to Yu Wenjing: "Miss Yu Wen."

Yu Wenjing smiled faintly: "You came at the right time. The person inside said she was a guest of your Five Elements Alliance. Do you know her?"

Alliance Leader Shen looked at Su Xiaoxiao and frowned.

Guo Lingxi pretended to be surprised and exclaimed: "Master Shen, don't you know him?"

Yu Wenjing snorted coldly, "Master Shen, you probably don't know, she is a big liar, swindling people everywhere. Last time, she said she was Mr. Zhuge's sister, but Mr. Zhuge didn't know her at all! If you don't believe me, you can ask this person here. She is a princess of the Great Zhou, and that woman is also from the Great Zhou. As everyone knows, Mr. Zhuge is from Northern Yan, how could he have a sister from the Great Zhou?"

"Dad! Dad! He's my guest!"

Mr. Shen climbed up the stairs panting.

He had just gone to pick up Wei Ting, but was told that Wei Ting had already left, so he hurried over again.

He grabbed his sleeve and said breathlessly, "I...I am hosting a banquet here tonight."

Master Shen: I want to host a banquet too! Guo Lingxi smiled slightly: "Master Shen, your Five Elements Alliance is the largest business alliance in the world. It's best not to make friends with any messy people. If it gets out, it will be a disgrace to your status."

No matter how high Su Xiaoxiao's status is in the Great Zhou, this is the Western Jin Dynasty. The Great Zhou's tricks are useless. If she dares to offend Zhuge Qing, she can guarantee that no one in the Western Jin Dynasty will have the courage to continue to associate with her!

There was indeed a hint of hesitation on Mr. Shen's face.

He never interfered with his son's friendships. After he robbed his room, he just beat him up and let the matter go.

But if you fabricate a relationship with Mr. Zhuge, you won't be able to make friends with this person.

"Shut up!" Master Shen shouted, "Get the guy out of here!"

Master Shen's face changed drastically: "Dad!"

More and more people gathered around.

Su Xiaoxiao was sitting in the side room of the Five Elements Alliance and was "asked to leave" in public by the deputy leader of the Five Elements Alliance. This was undoubtedly a slap in the face to her in public, and she lost all her face and dignity.

But who asked her to scam Mr. Zhuge? She deserves it.

Guo Lingxi felt very happy. The Great Zhou couldn't beat you. Now when he came to the Western Jin Dynasty, he found out that you are just like me.

This is the feeling of being proud! "Why don't you ask him to leave? How many times do I have to say it?"

"Dad! She's my friend!"

The father and son almost got into a quarrel, and everyone started pointing fingers at Su Xiaoxiao, who was sitting calmly inside drinking tea, calling her shameless and saying that she was causing great harm to others.

Suddenly, a team of black-armored guards came down the stairs.

They came down from above. Could it be that... Mr. Zhuge is in the attic? This is great! Finally, I can rub this country girl's face on the ground! What could be more embarrassing than being caught by Mr. Zhuge?

The black-armored guards arrived at the door of the wing room. The murderous aura of the leader shocked the whole place and the corridor became silent.

He asked, "Who just said she was Mr. Zhuge's sister?"

Yu Wenjing pointed inside: "That's her!"

Everyone looked at Su Xiaoxiao. It was over. This girl's good days were over. Nothing could accommodate her anymore.

The black-armored guard came in front of Su Xiaoxiao and looked down at her condescendingly.

Just when everyone thought he was going to chop Su Xiaoxiao with a knife, he suddenly clasped his fists and bowed: "Miss, the gentleman, please go up."

Everyone was shocked.

What did the Black Armor Guard call her? Little Miss? Guo Lingxi was horrified: "This is impossible! Did you recognize the wrong person?"

The Black Armored Guard ignored her completely.

"Can I bring my friend upstairs?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

The black-armored guard said, "Of course, sir, the lady's friends are his friends."

Su Xiaoxiao put down the teacup and came to the shocked Mr. Shen: "Deputy Alliance Leader Shen, we don't need this room anymore, please feel free to use it."

As she said that, she looked at Master Shen Er, "Brother Shen, let's go up."

Where to go?

The attic? The attic that's never open to the public?

Am I going to meet Mr. Zhuge? In my lifetime?! Mr. Shen was in a state of high, as if he had drunk a pound of Erguotou.

Mr. Shen was so shocked that he was speechless.

Guo Lingxi was slapped in the face and was so embarrassed that he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

Yu Wenjing was also very surprised, but she was not Guo Lingxi. Mr. Zhuge was her father's adviser, and she could get back at him.

She smiled and said, "Is the gentleman here too? I'll go say hello to him..."

The black-armored guard escorted Su Xiaoxiao upstairs. After hearing her words, he turned around and stopped her coldly:

"The master said that no outsiders would be allowed to see him."
