Chapter 110 Good things come in pairs (1)
Seeing his helpless expression of wanting to say something but not being able to, Li Jingran could not help but raise his eyebrows and said casually: "What? Did I do something wrong just now?"
"Of course." Qin Ji couldn't help rolling his eyes. It's true that the eunuchs are anxious even when the emperor is not. Bah, he is not a eunuch!
Glancing at the calm and leisurely person, Qin Ji suddenly felt that he really didn't need to do that, so he sat down, took a sip of tea to calm his breath, and then said leisurely: "Cousin, have you forgotten that you used Liu Ze's words to bully Ling Chuan just now?"
"Oh, that thing, I haven't forgotten." Li Jingran put down the teacup. He was feeling happy about it. Just thinking about the other person's face which was as black as the bottom of a pot, he felt relaxed all over.
Qin Ji caught a glimpse of the smug look in his eyes and felt helpless again. How could his cousin, who was such a good man, become such a brainless fool when he met Ling Chuan?
"I haven't forgotten. Did you see the flirting between them? The answer will be revealed in a while. Aren't you afraid that he is really Liu Qiuwu's nephew? That person will go back and whisper in his ear and kill you in the future?"
Li Jingran's smile froze when he heard that. "Not really."
"What do you think?" Qin Ji felt relieved instantly when he saw that he finally stopped laughing.
Half of it was because he finally woke the man up, and the other half was because he was going to get the money that the little fox was going to rip him off...
Li Jingran: "..." It seems a bit far-fetched to say that, but according to him, if he really finds the right person, then he will have to try to please the kid named Ling, right?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Li Jingran couldn't help but think of himself being servile and fawning on Ling Chuan. He suddenly felt a chill in his heart. This was too horrifying. He swore that it would be better to kill him than to let him do this.
Qin Ji ignored his complex expression and said calmly, "Also, he seems to have begun to doubt you."
"If he wants to doubt it, then he will know it sooner or later if Liu Ze is really Qiu Wu's nephew." Li Jingran shook off the image in his mind and said calmly.
"Yes, indeed." Qin Ji nodded in agreement. As a famous general, even if he retired, he was still as sensitive as a tiger. How could they hide their attitude towards Liu Ze from him?
So the look he gave them just now was a warning, right? He was warning them that he had seen through everything, that he would be watching them closely from the dark, and that if they showed any malicious intent, he would pounce on them and bite their throats.
Li Jingran: "There's nothing to worry about."
Qin Ji: "Yes, but I think his suspicion of you is probably not about this."
"What aspect is that?" Li Jingran asked.
"Perhaps he felt that you were confused about your future, so he was tempted by something new and had evil intentions, so he wanted to do something else instead." Qin Ji said with a malicious smile on his face.
Li Jingran sneered, "Haha, I think you're the only one who thinks so." It was like that before.
"Believe it or not..." Qin Ji shrugged.
The two chatted idly in the room, and as soon as Xia Mo and Ling Chuan left Tianranju, they went straight to the grocery store.
In the grocery store, Shopkeeper Hong, who was working on an abacus with his head down, suddenly heard the excited voice of his clerk.
"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, Mr. Liu is here!"
"What do you mean by coming or not? What are you making all the fuss about... wait, who did you say is coming?" Shopkeeper Hong said a few words to the waiter without even raising his head. Only then did he realize what the other person had said. He immediately raised his head and looked towards the door.
When he saw Xia Mo's familiar face, he could no longer stand.
He came out from behind the counter in a hurry, came forward and said happily: "Oh, Mr. Liu, I have been looking forward to seeing you here day and night."
Seeing Shopkeeper Hong smiling and smiling with such an exaggerated expression, Xia Mo couldn't help but feel happy. He thought, if the other party was looking forward to his coming, did it mean that the batch of maltose was selling very well?
This should be the case, right? Otherwise, how could the other party, a big shopkeeper, have the time to deal with him?
The more Xia Mo thought about it, the more he felt that this was the truth. He was suddenly overjoyed, and his eyes were filled with uncontrollable joy and excitement.
He turned his head and quickly glanced at Ling Chuan, then smiled at Shopkeeper Hong: "Haha, Shopkeeper Hong, you are joking. I have been unwell these days and cannot come to the city to visit you for a while, but I am always thinking about this."
Manager Hong naturally believed what the young man said, otherwise he would not have run back and forth to the city to discuss this business with him.
"No wonder I didn't see you come to the shop. So this is what happened. Is Mr. Liu feeling better now?" Shopkeeper Hong said, moving his eyes away from Ling Chuan and starting to look at Xia Mo.
Seeing that he had rosy lips, white teeth, bright eyes, and looked in good spirits, I thought he should be fine.
"Thank you for your concern, Manager Hong. I have been recuperating at home recently. I am almost well now, so I came to see you right away." Xia Mo smiled and lied without blinking.
Of course, this was not entirely a lie. After all, they did not come to the city because they were recuperating at home, even though the person who needed to be recuperated was Ling Chuan, not him.
"That's good, that's good." Shopkeeper Hong was completely relieved after hearing this. He still wanted to discuss a big business with him. If the other party's health collapsed, it would be difficult to deal with.
"Since we're here, shall we go inside and talk?"
Xia Mo nodded, "Okay." There were already customers at this time, so he noticed the curious glances from others from time to time. It was not a good idea to stand here and greet them. Not only would it not be possible to discuss business, it would also affect the business of the store.
He answered Shopkeeper Hong, then turned to the man who was silently accompanying him and said, "Brother Ling, let's go in."
Ling Chuan responded, and when Manager Hong saw that Xia Mo was going to take this tall, burly and somewhat fierce man with him, he couldn't help but stop and look at Ling Chuan curiously.
The last time he discussed business with Liu Fulang, Liu Fulang did not invite anyone to come with him, but now he wants to bring this man along. Could it be that this man is a relative of Liu Fulang?
In fact, he noticed this man from the beginning. Even if the other party didn't say a word from beginning to end, he couldn't be ignored just by standing next to Zhong Xiu's husband. Well, after all, no matter how you look at it, he seems like someone who is not easy to mess with.
Xia Mo turned around and caught the inquiring eyes of Shopkeeper Hong. Then he remembered that he had forgotten to introduce his brother Chuan. He slapped his forehead and said quickly: "Ah! Shopkeeper Hong, I forgot to introduce you. This is my husband, Ling Chuan."
"Oh? So this is your husband. Nice to meet you. Brother Ling is so lucky to marry such a clever and skillful husband." Shopkeeper Hong looked at Ling Chuan and said with a smile.
Who doesn't like to hear compliments? Especially this kind of compliments. So after listening to Shopkeeper Hong's words, Ling Chuan rarely smiled, "Indeed."
So, for some reason, the usually thick-skinned person suddenly felt a little embarrassed under the man's burning gaze. He coughed and said, "Ahem, let's go in first. We still need to go shopping later."
Shopkeeper Hong smiled and said, "Then let's go in first."
