Zhang Xiaojing liked it at first sight, she really wanted to sit in the bright terrace, bathed in the warm sunshine, just over the lake and mountains, taste tea, read, play the piano, play chess, write, and paint......

Of course, the premise is that these two can get along.

But, is it possible?

I'm afraid it's enough to choke.

Alas, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain......

~~

In fact, Jiang Xueying was even more surprised than Li Mingyue, after all, she didn't know a quarter of an hour ago that this emperor's niece, the dignified county lord of Lanling, would actually fall from the sky.

She had been busy with the opening of Jiangnan Bank in Suzhou for more than a month, and only a few days ago she had taken time out and rushed to Jinling to negotiate with Longjiang Bao Shipyard.

After several days of repeated tug-of-war, the package of contracts, including the commissioned training of shipbuilding craftsmen, was signed only before yesterday.

However, because Longjiang Bao Shipyard is a government-run institution, it has to wait for the Caojiang Yushi Yamen to review and seal before the contract can take effect.

Although Uncle Wu is here, everything is just a formality, but everyone is not too much. So she still has to wait patiently for a few days before she can go back to Suzhou after all the processes are completed.

In addition, she was too tired in the past few months, so Zhao Hao ordered her to put down the work at hand and recuperate for a few days in the Mid-Levels Villa.

It's only the second day of rest, Li Mingyue came, why do you say it's so inch?

~~

The carriage stopped on the green lawn, and Li Mingyue got out of the carriage with Ah Cai's support.

Jiang Xueying was also supported by Xiao Yun'er and came forward along the winding path.

The two of them, who were still cross-eyed, approached, and the face of the county lord of Lanling had already regained a noble and graceful smile.

President Jiang naturally put on a warm and kind smile, and the previous cold judgment was like two people.

She first gracefully blessed and said: "Presumably this is Sister Mingyue, I have really admired the name for a long time." ”

"Yes, it's the county lord." Li Mingyue rarely put down the score, and asked with a smile: "May I ask this young lady, whose surname is Fang, why is she in my eldest brother Zhao's house?" ”

"Because it's my home too." Jiang Xueying covered her mouth with Luo Pa and smiled, and then said with a straight face: "Then introduce yourself to my sister, I am the goddaughter of the grandfather of the Zhao family, the stepsister of Brother Zhao, and Jiang Xueying, the president of Jiangnan Company." ”

She had seen more open guns and hidden arrows than the small county lord, how could she be provoked by this level of provocation?

"Ah, that's right." Li Mingyue also covered her mouth with her backhand and smiled: "So, this is also my family." My mother, Princess Ning'an, is still Brother Zhao's godmother. ”

Fortunately, the small county lord is the essence of the play, no matter how hot he is in his heart, he will never show timidity on his face.

Maybe that's the royal inheritance.

"This is the little lord, right? The arrival of the little lord is really brilliant. Jiang Xueying didn't seem to hear her words, and turned to Li Chengen and said Wanfu.

"Uh-huh." Li Chengen nodded, clenched his fists and saluted, and did not speak. In such a fierce battle, it's better not to set yourself on fire.

Then Jiang Xueying turned to Zhang Xiaojing again, and couldn't help but say sincerely in amazement: "I don't know who this fairy-like sister is?" ”

"This is my mother's goddaughter, the daughter of Scholar Zhang!" Before Zhang Xiaojing could speak, Li Mingyue replied for her. Look, my helpers are much more noble than you!

Zhang Xiaojing smiled apologetically and returned the favor to Jiang Xueying.

"Come inside, please." Jiang Xueying greeted the three of them into the viewing terrace where the little bamboo was very watering, as if she hadn't heard it.

~~

There is no fire in the terrace, but it is already warm as spring.

Facing the lake, there is a set of soft upholstered sofa chairs, a thick carpet on the floor, and a long coffee table in the middle, on which delicate snacks and fruits are placed.

On the other side, there are bookshelves, painting tables, piano tables, chess scales, and a few pots of orchids and plum blossoms dotted among them, which are warm and comfortable and very stylish.

At first glance, it is the handwriting of a woman who can also draw.

Zhang Xiaojing sighed in her heart, her dream was actually realized by others first, but she didn't expect that this Miss Jiang would not only do business, but also have such a good taste in home furnishing.

But it may also be the handwriting of Secretary Ma who plays the piano and paints, who knows? Anyway, she didn't dare to boast, and she didn't dare to ask.

After inviting the three of them to sit on the sofa chair, Jiang Xueying smiled and said: "This is my brother's design based on the 'jade table' of the Han Dynasty, although it is not suitable for formal occasions, but it is actually much more comfortable to sit on than a wooden chair...... But relax, lean in. ”

Li Chengen leaned his back back as he said, feeling that his whole body was being supported, and he couldn't help but give a thumbs up. Then he let his body sink into the sofa with a look of enjoyment.

Li Mingyue instinctively wanted to lean in, but when she saw her eldest brother's imageless sitting posture, she suddenly had a black line on her face. He still sat there with his waist straight, and asked Jiang Xueying, "Where is my brother?" ”

"Oh, my brother has an urgent matter to return to Kunshan." Jiang Xueying smiled and said, "It's really unfortunate, I just left yesterday." ”

Li Mingyue just wanted to collapse her face, but she clearly felt the meaning of schadenfreude from the other party's smile, so she smiled indifferently in an instant: "I also blame me, I want to surprise him, and hide it from people to tell him in advance." ”

"My sister is really sensible." Jiang Xueying approved, put on a top hat for Li Mingyue and said: "In the past six months, my brother has been too busy, running back and forth in Jinling, Suzhou, Kunshan, and Chongming, and he is so tired that he doesn't have time to rest. I'm a sister, I really want to share his worries more. ”

"......" Li Mingyue was going to Kunshan immediately, but when she heard this, she had to hold back her thoughts first. Otherwise, wouldn't it seem that you are too ignorant?

At this time, Xiao Yun'er served fragrant tea, and Jiang Xueying introduced with a smile: "This is our self-produced Biluochun on Xishan Island, do you like it?" ”

What mood does Li Mingyue still have for tea? She pretended to be a sample, and then smiled perfunctorily: "It's not bad." ”

"This is the tea named after my brother, and he likes it very much." But I heard Jiang Xueying laugh.

"......" Li Mingyue's smile froze.

"Try this Su-like snack again." Jiang Xueying warmly invited her to eat snacks.

"It's delicious, I like it." Li Mingyue took a small bite and praised it.

"yes, then we have the same hobbies." Jiang Xueying smiled happily: "It's a pity that my brother doesn't like to eat, he said that everything in Suzhou is cute, except for dim sum." ”

"......" The corners of Li Mingyue's mouth twitched twice, and she said in her heart, why is this Jiangnan woman so annoying? Each sentence is either with a hook or a pit.

In fact, why not?

This has nothing to do with whether it is Rouge from the North or a woman from the south of the Yangtze River......

Fortunately, Jiang Xueying was very measured, and came back with a little revenge, so that Li Mingyue knew that she was not easy to bully, so it was enough to stop.

How can you say that the other party is also a guest, if she is aggressive and makes people cry, it will be difficult for my brother to explain.

So the next conversation was not so strong about gunpowder.

But Li Chengen and Zhang Xiaojing both knew that this was just testing each other's firepower, and the real battle had not yet begun.

ps. I wanted to open a single chapter to summarize the previous volume, but my eyes really didn't allow it. In short, the last volume is difficult to write, (as if the summary of the previous volume also said), there are too many things to layout, and it has to be written with a story, and it can't be a running account, in short, it is very difficult. But I think it's well done. This volume is the time for it to blossom and bear fruit. It's going to be even more exciting! Ask for a commuter pass!
