Jiang Shiyuan sat for a while, and then Su Liluo came.
Jiang Shiyuan picked up the item and asked pretentiously, "I like this one very much. How much is it?"
Before he could finish his words, the money in his hands was gone and the incense box fell into Su Liluo's hands.
Su Liluo didn't even blink, she turned to the shopkeeper Hui Niang and said, "What does she like? Pack them all for me."
Hui Niang exchanged glances with Jiang Shiyuan quietly, and Hui Niang looked embarrassed: "But, Sister Su Xiao, these were all selected by Miss Jiang first."
"Humph, you open a business, isn't it for money? I'll give you double." Su Liluo suddenly got tired of throwing money at people. She leaned against the counter and urged, "I'm in a hurry, wrap it up."
Hui Niang packed her things helplessly and said respectfully, "Sister Su, you are our Chenxiang Shop's biggest customer, so we will definitely take care of you first. There is no need for double the amount. Sister Su likes it, so it's as much as you want. Here's a total of three hundred taels."
"Only three hundred?" Su Liluo glanced at Jiang Shiyuan, "Jiang Shiyuan, when did you become so shabby? Didn't you say you never buy perfume that costs less than one hundred taels?"
Jiang Shiyuan couldn't help laughing out loud.
When it comes to stubbornness, Su Liluo is no less stubborn.
Seeing her laugh, Su Liluo glared at her: "You can still laugh? Aren't you angry that I'm with Pei Ziye? He also asked me to go horseback riding in the east of the city today."
Jiang Shiyuan was confused, "Why should I be angry when you are with Pei Ziye?"
Not to mention that she hadn't entered the Pei family yet and hadn't become Pei Che's wife, even if she became Pei Ziye's aunt, she had no say in Pei Ziye's marriage.
She still has this point.
Su Liluo was speechless for a moment, and then she thought carefully that when she tried to pry Chen Luchu, Jiang Shiyuan didn't seem to react much.
The last time she was mad was because she spoke ill of her family.
Su Liluo suddenly realized something was wrong. She raised the perfume in her hand and said, "I stole your things, why are you not angry at all?"
"Because what was taken away is destined not to be mine." Jiang Shiyuan said.
Su Liluo suddenly seemed to be angered by this, her expression gloomy: "Why are you pretending to be magnanimous? You are just lucky that you have never lost the thing you cherish most. If one day, the thing you cherish most is taken away by someone, will I still say this so calmly?"
Jiang Shiyuan looked at Su Liluo who suddenly became sharp, and couldn't help but ask the question in his heart:
"Su Liluo, why do you like to compete with me so much?"
This problem has been weighing on her mind for a long time.
Obviously when they first met, they got along very well.
She remembered that it was when she was seven years old, the Shangshu Mansion held a banquet and invited all the women in the city to attend the banquet and appreciate the flowers, and her mother took her to the banquet.
That day, a child was gossiping, saying that her mother was a bandit, calling her a "께 bandit", and even throwing mud on her.
As the host, Su Liluo scolded the child severely, took her to her room, and changed her into her new clothes.
Su Liluo is one year older than her, but she is really like an older sister, gentle like the spring breeze.
Later, for some unknown reason, when they met again, Su Liluo no longer paid attention to her and even confronted her.
This was the case with Jiang Xingzhuo and Su Liluo. Jiang Shiyuan once thought that he was too unlikable.
"What did I do to make you hate me?" Jiang Shiyuan asked directly. This question had been bothering her for a long time.
Su Liluo looked at her bewildered expression and gritted her teeth. The maid Zhichun beside her said angrily, "It was because of Miss Jiang that my sister was exiled from the capital."
Jiang Shiyuan was stunned, with even more confusion in his eyes.
She knew that Su Liluo had suddenly left Beijing to go south to recuperate. She also wondered why Su Liluo suddenly needed to recuperate when she was in good health.
"What does this have to do with me? Aren't you going to recuperate?"
Zhichun spoke quickly: "Because Master Pei took out his anger on you and went to the Shangshu Mansion to complain, my master locked Sister Xiao up for half a month. After Sister Xiao came out, she fell seriously ill and was sent to the countryside overnight. She almost died."
"Why don't you keep talking!" Su Liluo glared at Zhichun.
Jiang Shiyuan was stunned again. Pei Che vented her anger?
How could Pei Che vent her anger?
That was just friction between her and Su Liluo's child.
Pei Che didn't look like someone who would care about such trivial matters.
This is not the point. The point is that Su Liluo was sent to the countryside, where she was stranded.
Jiang Shiyuan felt a little complicated for a moment, "Is this why you have been targeting me? I don't know..."
"No," Su Liluo interrupted Jiang Shiyuan, her voice cold as if she had changed into a different person: "I'm not targeting you because of this. I was driven to the countryside because I provoked you first, because I was disliked by my father, because I had no one to support me, and because I was living under someone else's roof. I deserved it."
"I'm targeting you because..."
Forget it, so much time has passed, she has long forgotten about it, and the things must have disappeared long ago.
Thinking of this, Su Liluo suddenly felt discouraged. She glanced at Jiang Shiyuan, turned around and strode out of the Chenxiang Shop.
Zhichun caught up with the carriage, and Su Liluo leaned against the wall of the carriage, looking lonely.
Zhichun whispered, "Sister Xiao, are you going to the Chengdong Racecourse?"
Su Liluo shook her head: "No."
Su Liluo suddenly didn't want to play anymore. All this was just a farce of her wishful thinking.
No one cares.
Zhichun noticed that Su Liluo was in an abnormal mood, and asked in his heart, "Where do you want to go, Sister Xiao?"
"Just take a walk around, or you can go back home." Su Liluo said, turned her head to look at the street scene receding outside the window, and stopped talking.
On the other side, Jiang Shiyuan was still trying to digest Su Liluo's words.
"Hongdou, please help me think about it. Have I offended Su Liluo in any way?"
She always felt that Su Liluo's words were full of hidden meanings, but after leaving the Chenxiang Shop and thinking about it all the way, she still couldn't figure it out.
Hongdou couldn't help either: "When I came to Sister Xiao, Su Liluo had already left Beijing, and Hongdou didn't know either."
Seeing her struggling all the way, Hongdou asked in confusion: "Su Liluo used to bully Sister 께 so much, wasn't Sister 께 angry?"
"If someone bullies me, what's the point of getting angry? I have to fight back! If they don't fight me openly, I'll fight them covertly."
Besides Madam Ru, the second person we should thank for Chenxiangfang’s current status is Su Liluo.
Not only did she ask Su Liluo to clear out unsold goods, she also deliberately told Su Liluo that she had opened a perfume shop and asked Su Liluo to follow her in. The result, of course, was that Su Liluo quickly closed the shop because she was not familiar with spices.
Then, all the spices she had stockpiled were sold out and became hers, which temporarily solved her cash flow difficulties.
Hongdou thought about it and realized that, indeed, in the past three months, Su Liluo had contributed tens of thousands of taels to Chenxiang Workshop.
If Su Liluo knew that the boss behind Chenxiangfang was Sister 께, she would probably be so angry that she would vomit several pounds of blood.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that Su Liluo is also quite miserable.
"Besides, I have to find out the reason. If I have made a mistake, I will make up for it first, and then worry about the right and wrong of these three. The Master said, to correct others, you must first correct yourself, and do not expect others to be perfect..."
Jiang Shiyuan paused, and his thoughts turned to Pei Che again.
Before this, had Pei Che secretly stepped up for her? But she had never told Pei Che about the academy, except for Jiang Xingzhuo who came to her door.
Since this matter also involves Pei Che, Jiang Shiyuan thinks he should wait until Pei Che comes back and tell him.
Pei Che probably didn't know why Su Liluo left Beijing.
Jiang Shiyuan didn't have time to think about it. As dusk fell, the carriage arrived at the general's mansion.
When Jiang Shiyuan entered the room, Nanny Qin handed him an invitation card for a flower shower.
The fifth prince has just obtained a piece of peerless jade. Tomorrow at 11:00 p.m., he will hold a banquet at his residence and invite all the talented men and beautiful women in the capital to appreciate the jade together.
The invitations were sent to various cities in the capital. Jiang Shiyuan received it, Su Liluo received it, Zhou Jingshen received it, and Shen Luchu naturally received it as well...
