"Ah, I remember now, it's those two shameless guys!"
Bai Zhi also remembered the time when she was almost molested, and suddenly her face was shocked. "If the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will be crooked. I guess Chang Jijiu is not a good person!"
Someone who can't even teach his own son is actually teaching in such a famous academy. He is simply misleading the students!
Jiang Li sneered, "Bai Zhi is right. In my opinion, this is not a visiting card, but a Hongmen Banquet."
Jiang Li could guess with her toes what Chang Jijiu wanted to talk to her about.
In the past, the books sold in bookstores were all copies made by scholars. Not only were they updated slowly, but the quality was also uneven, so there were very few types of books.
Add to that the fees that have to be paid to the students, and the price of books is difficult to lower, and it is simply impossible to engage in a price war.
Recently, she has applied printing technology to book production. After the first batch of books were officially launched, not only did the price drop a lot but the quality was also guaranteed. I heard that some bookstore owners have already approached Mo Xiang to discuss cooperation, wanting to purchase books from her and then sell them in their own bookstores.
I think Chang Jijiu also came to see her for this matter.
"In that case, Princess, you should just ignore him."
"No, I think this is a good opportunity." Jiang Li closed the visiting card, stood up and stretched. Since he could find her directly, he must have investigated Moxiang Bookstore and knew about the relationship between her and Chang Tai.
"Everyone in the world is driven by profit. Wouldn't it be more satisfying to take this opportunity to make a fortune?"
He wanted to get some benefits from her, so let's see if he was willing to pay the price.
The other side.
"Master, you have been waiting for so long. Can Princess Jingling come to the appointment?"
The Chang family's steward looked at the heavy snow outside the window and kept rubbing his hands.
Chang Tai looked unhappy, "Yes, Dad, why did you write a visiting card to that woman, she..."
Before he could finish his words, a slap landed on the back of Chang Tai's neck, and the man screamed and jumped up from his chair.
"Dad, why did you hit me?!"
"Hit you?" Chang Pengcheng snorted coldly, "I want to do more than just hit you."
"I'm telling you, when the princess comes over later, you have to apologize to me. Otherwise, I'll go back and skin you alive! Do you understand?!"
Chang Pengcheng stood up, walked to the window, and whispered, "If she is a smart person, she will come to the appointment."
After he said the last few words, he saw a carriage coming from the corner of the street with the words "Jingling" hung on it.
Chang Pengcheng nodded slightly, "Here I come."
He turned and walked towards Chang Tai, kicking the man in the calf, "Sit still! I'm reminding you one last time, if you dare to ruin my good deeds today, even your grandmother can't protect you!"
The carriage stopped outside the herbal medicine shop.
Since he dared to invite guests to her place, it was obvious that Chang Jijiu would not give her any chance to refuse.
After getting off the carriage, Jiang Li handed the Mao banner to the shopkeeper Qiao, and asked about the situation in the box. After learning that Chang Jijiu had been waiting for nearly an hour, Jiang Li nodded.
"If he asks for the signature dishes later, serve the most expensive ones. Don't be polite."
After saying this, Jiang Li slowly walked towards the box.
"Chang pays his respects to the princess."
As soon as Jiang Li entered the room, Chang Jijiu patted Chang Tai on the back of the head and then bowed politely.
"No need for extra ceremony when offering wine."
Jiang Li walked around the man and sat down at the table. "It was too cold, and the prince didn't want me to come out. That's why I was delayed for a while and kept Chang Jijiu waiting for a long time."
The woman took the hot tea and took a sip, then said, "Sit down, what are you all standing there for?"
Chang Pengcheng: "..."
This was the first time he was treated coldly when he invited someone to dinner. However, Jiang Li brought up the prince right from the start. What did Chang Pengcheng dare to say?
He quickly smiled and said, "No, no, Chang has just been here for a short time."
After saying this, seeing Jiang Li raise an eyebrow, Chang Pengcheng realized that this was her property. He then smiled awkwardly, "I heard that Prince Jingling dotes on his concubine alone, which makes people extremely envious. Seeing him today, it is indeed true."
"Chang Jijiu invited me to a banquet today. I wonder what it is about?"
Putting down the teacup, Jiang Li looked at the man in front of her.
Chang Pengcheng froze when he was stared at by the woman.
He didn't expect that a woman raised by merchants would have such an aura, worthy of being the blood of the general's mansion.
"No rush." Chang Pengcheng said, "Since it's a banquet, let's eat first and chat while we eat."
As he said this, he asked the steward to call the waiter over. In order to show his generosity in front of Jiang Li, he shouted loudly, "Bring up all your special dishes."
After the waiter left, Chang Pengcheng stood up and performed the scholar's salute.
Jiang Li moved his lips and said in a deep voice, "What does Chang Jijiu mean by this?"
"Today, we are hosting a banquet for the princess. The first thing we must do is to apologize to her." Chang Pengcheng pulled Chang Tai up. "I usually stay in the academy and rarely take care of household affairs. I didn't know that this evil boy actually contradicted the princess."
"Kneel down." Chang Pengcheng glared at Chang Tai with a cold tone.
Jiang Li took only one look and said, "Oh, it's you? I didn't recognize you."
Chang Tai: "..."
Angry at Jiang Li's reaction, Chang Tai held his breath and complained in his heart, "You didn't even glance at me when you came in, how could you recognize me?"
However, given his father's instructions, he didn't dare to say a word at this moment.
"How's it going? Is your mental disability getting better?"
Jiang Li's reminder made Chang Tai's face change slightly, but before he could vent his anger, he was slapped by his father and stunned.
