"Mom, how long will it take us to get to the guesthouse? I can't wait to go down and have a look."
Chen Jiaojiao glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw a small shop selling New Year pictures on the side of the road. They looked quite festive, and the designs were beautiful, so she was tempted to buy some.
"Don't worry, miss. It's just ahead."
Xiao Wang smoothly invited the distinguished guest to the reception building.
Wang Keren watched over the two masters, and after they got out of the car, he asked Xiao Wang, "Young man, should we go in directly, or do we need to say the name of Jiang Zhizhou before we can go in?"
Xiao Wang smiled and said, "Just go in directly. A servant will lead you upstairs."
"That's really hard work, brother."
Wang Keren took out a silver leaf and put it in Xiao Wang's hand, causing Xiao Wang to smile. "Very well, very well. Madam, please have a good rest. Tomorrow I will take you to the live selection of the top ten shops."
"Young man, wait a moment." Chen Jiaojiao called out to Xiao Wang. Xiao Wang bowed and said with a smile, "Miss Chen, is there anything else you need to tell me?"
"Why is Jianzhou holding a competition for the top ten shops? Is it because they have nothing better to do?"
This sentence was a slap in the face of Xiao Wang and the people behind him. Xiao Wang's smile faded a little, and just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Huang. "Jiao Jiao, don't be rude. Jiang Zhizhou naturally had his own decision to do this. What does it have to do with you, a girl in the boudoir?"
"Mom, I'm just curious and want to ask." Chen Jiaojiao curled her lips and looked at Xiao Wang. "Don't you think so?"
Fortunately, Xiao Wang had followed Bai Shinian for some time and had some experience in dealing with unruly and willful people.
With a smile in his eyes, he said, "Miss Chen, you don't know. The master has ulterior motives in making the top ten shops."
"Oh, could it be that he wants to make a lot of money?" Chen Jiaojiao had heard rumors before coming here. Rumors said that Jiang Xuqing had no other abilities, but his means of making money were first-class.
After coming here, I realized that you can't judge people by appearances, nor can you listen to nonsense. At least, although he made too much money, he did not miss out on what he should do. Compared to his father, Jiang Xuqing has done a good job.
However, Chen Jiaojiao has been prejudiced against Ye Changge since he was sent to prison by Jiang Xuqing.
Now that he relies on his father's status to be higher than Jiang Xuqing, he naturally doesn't want to give him an easy time.
She couldn't do anything to Jiang Xuqing, and she couldn't slap someone who was his?
Xiao Wang laughed dryly and said, "Miss, you don't know. Lord Jiang created the top ten shops entirely for the benefit of the people."
Chen Jiaojiao scoffed. "I'm afraid this is just another excuse from you. How does it have anything to do with the public?"
"Miss Rong, what the common people need most is affordable and reasonable prices. They only have a few taels of silver in their pockets throughout the year, unlike the wealthy officials, so they have to think carefully before doing anything they do or buy."
Xiao Wang changed the subject and continued, "Lord Jiang took into consideration the hardships faced by ordinary people and came up with the idea of selecting the top ten shops in Jianzhou for the people to choose from. These top ten shops must not only offer high-quality products at affordable prices, but most importantly, they must have a high reputation. If any problems arise, the people can receive refunds or exchanges. Lord Jiang did all this for us ordinary people!"
Xiao Wang was so moved that he cried, saying he had never followed such a good judge. Even Wang Keren was moved to tears and wanted to change his employer.
After hearing this, Chen Jiaojiao clapped her hands and laughed, "I'm afraid your Lord Jiang is deliberately deceiving you. How can a peasant fight against the powerful? I'm afraid it's not just a fantasy."
Seeing Chen Jiaojiao repeatedly slandering his idealized Lord Jiang, Xiao Wang couldn't help but feel a little irritated. "As the saying goes, seeing is believing. Please see it tomorrow, Miss."
"Well, I'll agree to this since you have repeatedly invited me."
Xiao Wang made up an excuse and left.
Now it was Huang's turn to get angry. She slapped Chen Jiaojiao and angrily said, "Why are you picking on a yamen runner?"
"Mom, I'm not picking on him at all." She was picking on Jiang Xuqing.
Huang had the servants pack up their belongings and move them upstairs. She dragged Chen Jiaojiao to a secluded spot and said, "Jianzhou is someone else's territory. Why are you so angry with Magistrate Jiang?"
"Mother." Chen Jiaojiao was a little dissatisfied. "After all, my daughter is the prefect's daughter. Can't I scold a mere prefect?"
"Shut up." Huang was vomiting. Her daughter, who had been good, had become confused since she became obsessed with Ye Changge.
"If it weren't for your father, who would you be? Jiang Xuqing is at least a disciple of the emperor, a man who passed the imperial examination. How could a girl like you slander him?"
"Mom, why do you keep speaking up for others? Could it be that Jiang Xuqing is your son?"
Huang was so angry that she slapped her on the back. "What nonsense are you talking about? Get upstairs now."
"Go if you want." Chen Jiaojiao snorted coldly, and went straight upstairs without paying attention to the waiter's warm hospitality in the store.
As long as people are prejudiced, they will dislike everything. Chen Jiaojiao entered the inner room, picked up a blue and white porcelain vase and was about to smash it.
"Miss Chen, wait a minute." The servant followed and said, "This blue and white porcelain vase is worth one hundred taels. Miss, are you sure you want to smash it?"
"How much?" Chen Jiaojiao's eyes widened. She lowered her head to look at the blue and white porcelain vase. It was indeed a beautiful design and the whole thing was quite nice. But this thing was worth a hundred taels of silver? Could she have walked into a shady shop?
The servant said with a smile, "I wouldn't dare lie to you, young lady. This item was sold by the East City Porcelain Shop. I have the receipt here. If you break it, you'll have to pay the original price."
This made Chen Jiaojiao laugh. "Who taught you this rule? Even if I smash a hundred of them, I don't have to pay the original price. Go out and find out who I am. I don't think Jiang Xuqing will ask me for a penny."
"Oh, Miss Chen, you can't say that about our great judge." The servant said slowly with a smile on his face, "Jiang Zhizhou is a very important figure in the hearts of the people of Jianzhou. It's okay if you tell me about it. If you tell others, you will be beaten."
"Oh?" Chen Jiaojiao extinguished her anger and asked, "Is Jiang Xuqing really as good as you say?"
"Of course not. Lord Jiang is the father and mother of our Jianzhou. He is a god-like figure. Not to mention you, even the nobles from the capital have to be polite to our Jiang Zhizhou. No matter how great you are, are you still more important than the one in front of the emperor?"
this.
Chen Jiaojiao was speechless for a moment. She really could not compare to the people in front of the emperor.
But so what? Jiang Xuqing messed up her marriage, so why can't she lose her temper?
