"good!"
"Then I'm off!" Yu Ziqing said with a smile, and then jogged out.
Zhang Jiyue smiled and patted Yu Ziqing on the shoulder, and then the three of them walked away side by side.
"Qiao'er, you stay here and watch over things. I'm a little tired, I'm going back to get some sleep." As soon as Yu Ziqing left, Jiang San Niang's expression fell.
"Hey..." Seeing that Jiang San Niang had left, Jiang Qiao'er wanted to call her back, but Bai Nuo grabbed her arm and shook her head silently.
Jiang San Niang is in a bad mood right now, so they shouldn't bother her.
"Let's go!" Jiang Qiao'er was also in a bad mood, and at this moment she simply didn't want to watch the shop anymore, so she said this while looking at the door.
"Where are you going?" She's not going to fight someone, is she? She should grab her weapons first; otherwise, she won't be able to beat them if she goes empty-handed.
I suffered a loss for nothing.
“Go…” Jiang Qiao’er was just about to tell Bai Nuo where she was going when she heard someone come in behind her. Jiang Qiao’er said, “I’m sorry, we’re not doing business today…” as she turned around. Before she could finish saying “Please leave,” she froze.
Not hearing Jiang Qiao'er speak, Bai Nuo was also a little surprised, so she turned around and looked back, only to be stunned as well.
"Aren't you doing business today?" the visitor asked.
Jiang Qiao'er shook her head, then nodded blankly, but immediately realized that others might not understand what she meant, so she said, "Yes, Miss Zhang, please come in."
The people who came were none other than Zhang Jingwen and her maid, with a young servant following behind them.
Jiang Qiao'er has forgotten how to speak.
Zhang Jingwen's family is very wealthy in this town. My family is no match for them at all. If Zhang Jingwen comes to my fabric shop every month, I'll be rich.
Jiang Qiao'er seemed to see a pile of silver coins walking towards her.
"Manager Jiang..." Zhang Jingwen smiled at Jiang Qiao'er, "Don't be nervous, I'm just here to say a few words and then I'll leave."
"What are you saying?" Jiang Qiao'er was stunned again. What was Zhang Jingwen going to say? They didn't seem to be familiar enough to have a chat, did they?
"Then wait a moment, I'll go and call my sister down." Jiang Qiao'er thought for a moment and decided to call Jiang San Niang down. Jiang San Niang wasn't nervous in front of Zhang Jingwen, but she was really nervous in front of Jiang San Niang.
"No need, no need!" Jiang Qiao'er wanted to call Jiang San Niang, but Zhang Jingwen stopped her. Seeing that Jiang Qiao'er was still confused, Zhang Jingwen explained with a smile, "I'm not here to see your sister, I'm here to see the little girl behind you, Manager Jiang. Can I have a chat with that little girl?"
Although she was also a young girl, Zhang Jingwen had already called her "Little Jiang, our daughter" and specified that she was looking for the girl behind her, which meant that Bai Nuo was the only one left.
But why did she look for Bai Nuo?
Jiang Qiao'er looked back in confusion. Bai Nuo had the same question as Jiang Qiao'er: What did Zhang Jingwen want with her?
Thinking this, Bai Nuo still walked over. "You were looking for me?"
“I’d like to talk to you…” Zhang Jingwen said with a smile. “I’ve reserved a private room at Quanjulou Restaurant. My carriage is right outside. Why don’t we go to Quanjulou to talk?”
"Okay." Although he didn't know what Zhang Jingwen's purpose was, and although Zhang Jingwen was smiling warmly, Bai Nuo became cautious for no reason.
"This way, please..." Zhang Jingwen smiled elegantly, gesturing for Bai Nuo to follow her. Then she turned and walked out of San Niang Cloth Shop. As she turned and walked, her skirt and the earrings hanging from her earlobes remained perfectly still, every movement exuding elegance.
From Bai Nuo's perspective, Zhang Jingwen's posture was upright, and her neck, exposed outside her clothes, was slender and long, like a swan's neck. The words "dignified" and "elegant" seemed to have been created just for Zhang Jingwen.
Bai Nuo followed closely behind Zhang Jingwen, with Zhang Jingwen's maid and servant close behind. Not far from the entrance of San Niang's house, there was an exquisite carriage pulled by white horses. When they arrived at the carriage, the maid first took down the small stool that was placed on the carriage, and then stepped onto the carriage first, before reaching out to pull Zhang Jingwen up as well.
Zhang Jingwen stepped onto the car body, leaned down and reached out her hand to Bai Nuo, "Girl, come on, let me help you."
"Thank you, I can get on!" Bai Nuo shook her head and refused, then stepped onto the small stool and onto the carriage. Seeing that she could manage on her own, Zhang Jingwen turned around and entered the carriage.
Bai Nuo followed suit, bending down as she went inside.
Zhang Jingwen's maid and servant stayed outside to drive the carriage.
Once inside, Bai Nuo realized that while the carriage looked exquisite on the outside, the interior was luxuriously furnished. There were soft cushions inside, and in front of the cushions was a small tea table with tea sets. Bai Nuo didn't drink tea and didn't know much about tea sets, so she couldn't tell their value. However, judging from the furnishings of Zhang Jingwen's carriage, the tea sets must have been quite expensive. In addition to the tea table, there was also a small bookshelf inside the carriage. Bai Nuo glanced at it and saw that it was filled with books on classical Chinese studies, poetry, and vernacular literature.
Zhang Jingwen was already sitting in front of the cushions washing the teacups. When she saw Bai Nuo come in, she pulled out the coffee table and took out tea leaves to brew tea.
"Sit down..." Zhang Jingwen said with a smile.
So Bai Nuo went over and sat down.
Zhang Jingwen brewed the tea, poured a cup for Bai Nuo first, and said with a smile, "Miss, you don't know me yet, do you? I am Zhang Jingwen, the eldest daughter of the Zhang family. I have an older brother. My family has been imperial merchants for generations. I am truly sorry for inviting you here today. I will offer you tea instead of wine as an apology."
