Now that head shopkeeper Xia wanted to see her, he didn't just come to visit her. What was the point of giving her an invitation?
Head shopkeeper Xia did not take her seriously, and Qin Yining had wanted to teach him a lesson a long time ago. It was just that her maternal grandmother's incident happened a few days ago, and the new year had passed, so she did not have time to deal with him.
Who would have thought that after such a long time, this head shopkeeper Xia still did not repent.
Qin Yining took the invitation from Lu Dashun with both hands. She lowered her eyes and looked at it. A faint smile appeared on her face.
Lu Dashun looked at Qin Yining's expression nervously and said: "Princess, what did head shopkeeper Xia say?"
"What did he say? Take a look for yourself. "Qin Yining casually handed the invitation to Lu Dashun.
Lu Dashun received it in fear and trepidation. After looking at it carefully, he could not help but gasp.
"This, head shopkeeper Xia really has a big tone. Princess is the owner, and you are also the noble princess. How could you be a guest at his home? He still has not come to greet you, Princess! "
Qin Yining smiled and said: "That's right. Head shopkeeper Xia is really bold. I will have to trouble you to go back and tell him that This King's Consort is busy and has no time. "
Lu Dashun nodded and stood up to salute: "Yes, this lowly one will definitely pass on the message."
Qin Yining nodded and picked up the tea.
Lu Dashun knew that Qin Yining was definitely unhappy, so he naturally did not dare to stay any longer. He immediately saluted and left.
After Lu Dashun left, Ji Yun said with righteous indignation: "This head shopkeeper Xia is really arrogant! He did not even greet Princess when she visited, yet he still has the nerve to do so. Does he really think that he has a lot of face? "
Bing Tang also said: "This person is so arrogant. He definitely has someone backing him."
"That's right." Qin Yining was deep in thought and called Jing Zhe over.
"I'll have to trouble you to help me investigate the situation in the manor and see how the refugees I took in are doing now. In addition, focus on finding out who this Head Shopkeeper Xia has been in close contact with recently, and who gave him the confidence to repeatedly ignore me, his boss. "
"Yes, I'll do it right away." Jing Zhe immediately took the order and left to investigate the matter in secret.
Qin Yining originally thought that Shopkeeper Xia would come to his senses after being rejected by her once.
But who would have thought that in less than half a day, Head Shopkeeper Xia would send another invitation. This time, it was not Lu Da Shun who came to run the errand. Clearly, Lu Da Shun did not want to get involved in this mess. He was afraid that Qin Yining would mistake him for shopkeeper Xia.
Qin Yining read the post and saw that the content was exactly the same as the previous post. Not a single word had been changed. He knew how sincere the post was.
After Qin Yining had Han Ge 'er and Zhao Ge' er, his personality had become much gentler and more magnanimous than before. However, he was still angered by Head Shopkeeper Xia's various actions.
Qin Yining rejected the post as usual and instructed Ji Yun, "Tell the manservant that if he wants to see This King's Consort, Head Shopkeeper Xia might not even agree to meet This King's Consort. Moreover, he doesn't know how to distinguish between status and importance. This King's Consort is very busy and has no time to eat his meal. "
Ji Yun was also filled with righteous indignation. Hearing this, she immediately acknowledged and strode out to pass on the message.
Qin Yining sat at a small table. Not long after, he saw Ji Yun enter the room. She walked around the carved screen and arrived in front of Qin Yining.
"Princess, I've already passed on the message. However, this servant saw that manservant was very arrogant and didn't care about us at all. Perhaps he took after his master. "
Qin Yining chuckled. "His master hugged someone's thigh, so he felt that he could also run amok. Very good. Their actions have allowed me to find something to do. It also saves me from boredom. "
Ji Yun's mood relaxed a lot. She smiled and said, "This servant knew that Princess would have a way to deal with them."
She admired Qin Yining the most for being able to deal with anything indifferently. He had never panicked when encountering a difficult problem. Every time, he could face it head-on.
In the evening, Qin Yining had just fed the two toddlers when Qiu Lu lifted the curtain and entered.
"Princess, Third Shopkeeper Lu requests an audience."
"I know. Ask him to go to the front hall. I'll be right there. "Qin Yining was a bit surprised. It was already this time, yet Third Shopkeeper Lu suddenly requested an audience. Perhaps there was something important.
This time, Lu Dashun's attitude towards Qin Yining was much more respectful than last time. His tone was even more careful. "Princess, this lowly one came today to invite Princess to a place."
Qin Yining raised an eyebrow.
How did this person learn to invite her out?
Seeing that Qin Yining was silent, Lu Dashun hurriedly said, "Princess, don't misunderstand. This lowly one doesn't have any other intentions. Today, this lowly one wants to invite Princess to Gui Lin Lou. There is something important that Princess needs to know. When Princess gets there, you will naturally understand this lowly one's intentions. "
Qin Yining vaguely understood something. He turned around and ordered people to prepare a carriage.
Ji Yun and Bing Tang immediately split up and prepared carriages and guards to follow and protect her.
Qin Yining stood up. Qiu Lu and Xian Yun had already brought over the cloak she needed to wear when going out, as well as a small brass hand warmer to warm her hands.
Qin Yining stood in place and ordered in a low voice: "Take good care of these two brothers. Don't let them bump into anything."
"Understood. Princess, don't worry. This servant will watch carefully. The wet nurses won't dare to be negligent in the slightest. " When Wang Ye went out, he had called the wet nurses in front of him and carefully instructed them. Who would dare to make Wang Ye unhappy?
Qin Yining thought of Pang Xiao's serious appearance when he went out and found it funny.
After dressing properly, Qin Yining put on some Jinghu Wei and went out.
Who knew that when the carriage went out of the side door and turned onto the main street, they would see Master Zhong getting out of the carriage and walking over.
Qin Yining lifted the curtain of the carriage and greeted him with a smile. Then she said: "I was just about to go out. Master Zhong, come with me. We can talk slowly."
Master Zhong immediately acknowledged and asked with a smile: "Where is Princess Consort going?"
"Gui Lin Tower." Qin Yining laughed softly. Gui Lin Tower was her property. She didn't know what kind of trouble those people wanted to cause in her property.
The group quickly arrived at Gui Lin Tower. Third Shopkeeper Lu and Master Zhong led the way, one on the left and one on the right.
Third Shopkeeper Lu said a few words to a waiter in a low voice and then led Qin Yining upstairs to the Xuan Room.
The private rooms here couldn't be called grand. They were just mid-level. The walls were stenciled. If one listened carefully, they could faintly hear the sound of conversation next door.
Third Shopkeeper Lu lowered his voice and said to Qin Yining: "Today, Head Shopkeeper Xia has invited someone to eat wine next door."
The three of them sat down with the guards. Qin Yining happened to hear several people talking loudly next door. Those people seemed to have eaten a lot of wine and were already a bit drunk.
One of them said loudly: "Come, let's toast to Head Shopkeeper Xia. Right now, Head Shopkeeper Xia has power and business is booming. Brothers, let's drink together!"
