Chapter 197 Jealousy
"It's getting late, Miaomiao will take my leave first." Xu Miaomiao stood up and looked at the man and said.
"It's almost time for lunch, Madam Xu, why don't you stay and have lunch with us?" Nangong Jin looked at the woman and said.
Xu Miaomiao shook her head and was about to leave when she remembered something and continued, "Dabao just took the antidote yesterday, so he might be late. I hope Mr. Nangong will forgive me."
Nangong Jin nodded: "It's okay, your health is more important, so Madam Xu, be careful on the road."
Xu Miaomiao bowed slightly in response, then turned and left the military camp.
When passing by Li Yi who was training with sweat all over his forehead, Xu Miaomiao made a "good" gesture to him before leaving.
"So you went to discuss this matter with Nangong Jin." Song Weiwei said to Xu Miaomiao while sweeping the dust off the shelf with a feather duster.
"If we can successfully cooperate with the court, the reputation of our department store will be established." Xu Miaomiao said thoughtfully.
"But there are so many shops that want to cooperate with us. Can we succeed?" Gu Yuanniang asked from the side.
"We won't know whether it will succeed until we try." Xu Miaomiao said calmly.
In the Imperial Study——
Song Wu Shao stood behind the fifth prince, thinking about the man sitting high and reporting important matters.
Nangong Jin's arrival broke the serious atmosphere.
"Why is Nangong here?" The southerner in a high position saw him and said with a smile: "You are the one who hates coming to the imperial study the most. You wish you could stay in the military camp every day. Why did you want to come here today?"
"Your Majesty, I came here this time to discuss something important."
"Since Mr. Nangong has something to do, I will withdraw first." The Fifth Prince bowed and said to the man in front of him.
The man reached out his hand to stop the Fifth Prince: "My son, why don't you stay and listen together?"
After these words were spoken, Nangong Jin's face paused.
"Official, do you still remember the department store we visited during our tour?"
"Department store?" The man thought for a while, then suddenly realized and said, "You are talking about the one opened by Xu Miaomiao, right? I still remember that it was she who cured Huang'er's illness."
"Yes." Nangong Jin smiled. "It was her. She introduced a kind of portable food. If it is eaten within a certain period of time, it will not spoil. It is also convenient to carry. If it can be used in the military, wouldn't it be of great benefit?"
Ever since hearing Xu Miaomiao's name, Song Wushao's frown has never relaxed, and his eyes looking at Nangong Jin have dimmed a little.
The man closed the things in his hand, looked at the Fifth Prince beside him and said, "My son, what do you think?"
"My father." The fifth prince bowed, looked at the man and said, "I think this is feasible, but we need to test it first and can't use it blindly."
"Yeah." The man nodded: "Come to think of it, this Xu Miaomiao is Song Wushao's wife, right?"
Suddenly being mentioned by the man, Song Wu Shao stood up and saluted the man: "Your Majesty, yes."
"Hahahaha, you two are really talented. One is loyal to the court, and the other is thinking of ways to do things for our Southern Country. No one can neglect the Song family in the future."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern." Song Wu Shao bowed and said to the man in front of him.
"In that case, let's try it out in the military camp first. If it works, then we can cooperate."
The man made the final decision and touched his nose in annoyance: "It's getting late, and I'm tired. You guys can leave now."
"yes."
As soon as everyone went out, Nangong Jin stopped Song Wushao.
Song Wu Shao raised his eyebrows and looked at the man in front of him, his tone seemed to be saying: Is there something wrong?
"Miao Miao came to discuss this matter with me today. Since the emperor has agreed, you can go back and tell her that you are troubling Mr. Song."
Nangong Jin grinned, bowed to Song Wushao and turned to leave.
There were not many people in the store today, and Xu Miaomiao returned home early, but when she saw Song Wushao, she felt that the air around her was two degrees colder.
"What's wrong?"
Realizing that Song Wushao was in a somewhat strange mood today, Xu Miaomiao leaned closer and asked.
"Nothing." Xu Miaomiao said these two words coldly: "Nangong Jin asked me to tell you that the emperor agreed to implement it in the military camp first."
"Really?" Xu Miaomiao asked Song Wushao with some joy in her tone.
"Um."
Song Wu Shao lowered his head and hummed, without any warmth at all.
"There seems to be something wrong with you today."
Song Wu Shao lowered his head and looked at the book without saying a word, nor did he even glance at Xu Miaomiao.
Now Xu Miaomiao was even more certain that something was wrong with Song Wushao. After thinking about it, could it be that he was unhappy because she went to find Nangong Jin?
"Please pay attention to me."
Xu Miaomiao looked at Song Wushao and spoke in a coquettish tone.
Hearing this, Song Wu Shao hugged Xu Miaomiao around the waist and let Xu Miaomiao sit on his lap.
Although they had been intimate many times, this sudden action still made Xu Miaomiao blush and her heart beat fast.
He pinched Xu Miaomiao's chin and kissed her hard.
Xu Miaomiao could clearly feel that Song Wushao was more irritable today than usual. Her lips were bitten and it hurt. Xu Miaomiao pushed Song Wushao and finally managed to separate the two of them.
The strong smell of blood finally dissipated, the skin must have been broken, Xu Miaomiao thought secretly in her heart.
Looking at Xu Miaomiao licking the corner of her mouth, Song Wushao chuckled at her dazed look.
"Are you not angry anymore?" Xu Miaomiao covered her mouth and looked at Song Wushao.
"Um."
Song Wu Shao nodded softly.
Knowing that the man was no longer angry, Xu Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief. The big boss's ever-changing personality was exactly the same as in the original book.
As soon as the court's documents were issued to the department store, they attracted a large crowd of people to look at them.
The crowd gathered at the entrance of the department store, poking their heads inside curiously.
"The department store received an order—"
Xu Miaomiao and Gu Yuan's mother both knelt on the ground and looked at Xuan Paper's father-in-law. He probably said some words praising the department store, but the most important thing was that he announced that he agreed to send the items from the department store to the military camp.
After my father-in-law left, a group of people suddenly rushed in, as if they wanted to rot the threshold of the department store.
"This place is recognized even by the imperial court, so it must be a good place."
The crowd came in laughing and joking, surrounding the department store so tightly that no one could get in or out.
Seeing so many people, Song Weiwei, who was doing the accounting, almost couldn't handle it.
Gu Yuanniang was also busy shouting and helping customers find what they needed.
Xu Miaomiao felt more and more uneasy. It is said that a tall tree attracts the wind. She didn't know if this move of hers was the right one.
"Business is finally picking up a bit."
