Chapter 59 Summation
Pei Jingxu lowered his head and looked at his toes.
She is waiting.
Wait for him to speak.
The night wind blew through the treetops, and Pei Jingxu heard the man's voice above his head: "Jiang Hui said you went out of the city."
Pei Jingxu still lowered his head, his voice soft: "Yes..."
Rong Jianxue pursed her lips and said in a cold voice, "With Shen... Yuanzhou."
Pei Jingxu nodded: "Yes, Master Yuanzhou said he wanted to help those refugees."
"So you sold all the grain in the store to him at a price lower than the market price?"
There was a coldness in Rong Jianxue's tone when he said this.
Pei Jingxu nodded: "Master Yuanzhou said... he would pay it back in the future."
She heard Rong Jianxue sneer.
She raised her eyes to look at the man. Under the moonlight, Rong Jianxue's face was extremely handsome.
"How come I didn't know? When did you become so easy to talk to?"
Pei Jingxu bit her lip slightly and looked at him without saying a word.
Rong Jianxue's voice was cold and low: "In order to compete with Mother, you didn't hesitate to sign the document to learn the account, and now you are so generous that you are willing to sell all the grain for him?"
"Pei Jingxu, do you know that there are so many refugees outside the city right now? A grain in Chang'an costs a thousand coins. Your grain shop has half the inventory of all the grain shops in the capital. Do you know how many grain merchants will hate you for doing this?"
People die for money.
There are many refugees outside Chang'an City now, and grain merchants all want to take the opportunity to make a fortune. The price of grain in the city is comparable to gold. The price of grain has skyrocketed, and no one is willing to sell it at a low price!
Pei Jingxu's grain shop already had a large reserve, and now it was sold at a low price. In order to avoid having too much grain on their hands, the grain merchants would just follow her and lower the price!
——What she did was tantamount to ruining the dreams of those grain merchants, and she would definitely be hated by others!
"Pei Jingxu, are you willing to sacrifice your own life to help him?!"
Rong Jianxue didn't know what he was talking about.
He came tonight to explain the interests involved to her clearly, and asked her not to go out for the next few days so that she would not be caught by those grain merchants.
At least, he wasn't here to harm her.
But he didn't know what he was doing now.
She was outside making porridge all day today, and Shen Qianfan was right beside her.
She casually lowered her head, and outsiders could see half of her white neck.
The weather is hot.
He was so upset that he felt dizzy.
Why mention him?
Why mention Shen Qianfan?
He himself doesn't know.
Pei Jingxu seemed frightened by Rong Jianxue's cold and solemn look. His eyes widened, his frightened eyes clear and clear: "I, I didn't..."
It's more like a weak excuse.
Rong Jianxue's eyes were as cold as a pond, and her thin lips were pressed into a line. "Pei Jingxu, I'm teaching you how to manage accounts, not how to run a business at a loss."
Maybe I was really hurt by these words.
Pei Jingxu's eyes widened with tears: "In your opinion, any decision I make is wrong."
"Pei Jingxu, tears can't always defend you," Rong Jianxue said in a voice as cold as ice. "You refused to let me teach you how to manage the accounts out of spite, and now you've taken the initiative to sell the grain at a low price. Judging by the facts, you were wrong from the beginning."
He said this, trying to regain his sanity.
Pei Jingxu looked at him seriously: "I always do the wrong things, isn't that clear to you, sir?"
"Pei Jingxu, let's talk it out," he corrected with a frown, "don't be so petty."
Pei Jingxu chuckled when he heard this.
She nodded, the corners of her eyes crimson, and looked at Rong Jianxue more seriously: "Then let's talk nicely."
After a pause, Pei Jingxu continued, "Your Excellency, why do you think that I didn't go to the study to let you teach me because I was angry?"
Rong Jianxue narrowed her eyes slightly. "Isn't it? I haven't seen you for a few days, and you're angry and refuse to let me continue teaching you. Isn't this just being angry?"
"So, my Lord, you knew that you wouldn't see me for a few days," Pei Jingxu said with a forced smile. "I thought you didn't think you were wrong."
"I was just thinking about something," Rong Jianxue said word by word, "There are some things I haven't sorted out yet, so I didn't see you."
"Then I can also tell you, my Lord, that I'm not letting you continue teaching me out of spite."
The moonlight is like water.
The two people under the bright moon seemed to be drenched in moonlight.
"I just don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to think about it anymore," Pei Jingxu's eyes flickered, "Didn't the master say that after using it, just throw it away? I'm not the kind of person who returns favors."
Rong Jianxue looked at her and didn't speak for a long time.
Pei Jingxu also stared at him, their eyes meeting.
for a long time.
So long that the moon was covered by dark clouds.
It was Rong Jianxue who first looked away.
"In the past few days, I asked Jiang Hui to accompany you in and out of the Rong Mansion to teach you something. If you don't want to, then forget it."
After saying that, Rong Jianxue didn't look at her again. He walked past her and left.
Pei Jingxu turned around and looked at the man's back as he left, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes.
Seriously speaking, for Rong Jianxue, this can probably be considered as his "bowing".
It’s not about “admitting mistakes”, it’s about “bowing your head”.
Admitting a mistake is different from bowing your head.
Earlier, Rong Jianxue had also "misunderstood" her. Now that the misunderstanding was resolved and the "truth" was found out, Rong Jianxue could apologize to her sincerely without any burden.
It is not difficult for Rong Jianxue to admit her mistakes when she did them.
But the prerequisite for "admitting mistakes" is that he knows he is wrong.
But what Pei Jingxu wanted was not just his "admission of mistake", she wanted him to bow his head.
——Bow to her.
The meaning of "bowing his head" is that even if it is not his fault, he will take the initiative to make peace in order to ease the relationship between the two of them.
Just like tonight.
Just like Rong Jianxue said, it was she who "made trouble unreasonably" and proposed to terminate the school account, and it was she who inexplicably sold grain to Shen Qianfan at a low price, causing the grain merchants to bear grudges.
——It’s all her “fault”.
But he came to the West Courtyard today to seek peace.
But the strength of this "peace request" was too weak, and it was far from enough for Pei Jingxu.
The "peace" she wants must be more unforgettable.
…
This time, Rong Jianxue was really angry.
For several days, not to mention the East Courtyard, he barely left the study.
Jiang Hui did come to her side, but probably because Rong Jianxue had given him some instructions, Jiang Hui was very respectful to her. Apart from protecting her, he refused to say a word to her.
Pei Jingxu raised his eyebrows and curled his lips, not caring.
——The colder Rong Jianxue treats her now, the more guilty he will feel when he learns the "truth".
She waited for him to lower his head.
--
These days, Pei Jingxu still went outside the city to distribute porridge as usual.
Shen Qianfan was also at the porridge shop. When he saw Jiang Hui guarding her, the expression on his face was intriguing.
Because of her porridge distribution, the refugees got to know her and gratefully called her "female Bodhisattva". People like her actually gained some good reputation.
But Pei Jingxu doesn't care about reputation, she is waiting for an opportunity.
This opportunity finally came after the porridge was distributed today.
With a "bang" sound!
The porcelain bowl of porridge fell at Pei Jingxu's feet!
The fragments scratched Pei Jingxu's cheek. She took a few steps back in panic, her eyes wide open!
"Everyone! Don't trust this witch! She poisoned the porridge!"
A rough voice came from the crowd, attracting the attention of many people!
