    Chapter Table of Contents The scapegoat

    Shopkeeper Ma was in a dilemma, “But Mrs. Su won’t let you attend these business banquets.”

    “I remember that Boss Huang. His annual orders accounted for one-half of our cloth wholesale. How could I not go to such a big thing? It’s already late now. Let’s go to Fengmanlou.”

    “this”

    Liu’er was also a little worried. She pulled Su Tao and whispered, “Sir, I’m afraid these banquets involve drinking. Isn’t it a bit dangerous?”

    “No, Fanmo’s guards are always following.”

    Su Tao went out and got into his carriage.

    “Go to Fengmanlou.”

    The driver glanced at her and nodded.

    Moreover, Su Tao also knew that the more than ten pieces of clothing she painted were worth thousands each, and selling them for five thousand taels was not an exaggeration. With such a large investment, she could not guarantee that the ladies would really like them.At this juncture, if half of the orders for next spring are really cut off, Qianyu Pavilion may be seriously damaged.

    Maybe Qianyu Pavilion can’t shake the Su Huan Chamber of Commerce, but when people’s hearts are fluctuating now, any pebble will stir up a wave.

    No matter what, she must keep this order.

    Shopkeeper Ma regretted it terribly. He should not have said anything if he had known better.

    But Xiaosi advised him, “Isn’t this better? Boss Huang originally wanted to talk to Mr. Su by name, but you didn’t know how to refuse. Now that Mr. Su is going by himself, the chance of successful negotiation is even greater.”

    “Hey, that’s all.”

    Shopkeeper Ma followed him into another carriage and told him, “You kid, please be more alert. Don’t drink too much. You must take good care of Mr. Su first.”

    “Okay, okay, my little one will definitely keep his eyes on Mr. Su, never leaving him for a moment.”

    Before Wei Zigui went out, his mother called him to say something.

    The general idea is that Miss Su from the Su Mansion won’t be able to come back in two days, so he should be more open-minded. It is best to choose a well-educated and polite girl to get married.

    “My mother is not saying that she despises Miss Su’s birth, but she obviously doesn’t want to. We don’t want to find someone very beautiful, but we want someone with a clean life experience, gentleness and consideration, so that our married life will be happy.”

    These few words were like cold water, washing away all the excitement and anticipation that he had experienced for more than a month.

    So when I arrived at Chunmanlou, I saw Su Shining drinking alone again, so I stopped trying to persuade him. Instead, he sat down and ordered a few bottles of wine to drink with him.

    After a few glasses of wine, Wei Zigui was filled with melancholy.

    “Shi Ning, I feel bitter in my heart.”

    “Oh, why are you suffering?”

    Su Shining dropped his wine glass on the table and smiled foolishly, “You were born in the capital when you were a child. At the feet of the emperor, all the prosperity and wealth are crowded here. You have a noble status and are the upper class of the pyramid. You have everything at your fingertips since you were a child. You don’t even need to take the imperial examination, you can still become an official in the court and stay in the capital. But I have been studying hard for ten years, but in the end it was all in vain.”

    Wei Zigui choked, feeling a little sad in his heart and suddenly embarrassed to bring it up, so he could only pour wine for Su Shining.

    “Shi Ning, what do you mean? Your knowledge and knowledge are obvious to all. There are so many young talents gathered in the capital. There are only three people who dare to say that they can win the first place, and you are one of them. I heard from my father that the emperor mentioned your name in the court. I think your knowledge and talents will be appreciated by the emperor. It is inevitable that you will have a prosperous official career and show your ambitions in the future. How can you be so arrogant now? But you have been under too much pressure in the recent exams.”

    “It’s too late, it’s too late.”

    “The Chi Hui exam is coming soon, what does Chi mean?” Wei Zigui was confused and was about to ask in detail when Su Shining stood up suddenly.

    “Hey, Shining, where are you going?”

    Su Shining quickly walked out of Fengmanlou and blocked the man who had just got off the carriage.

    Yan Shu was startled when he was suddenly stopped, thinking that Fan Mo’s guards had discovered him.

    “Tsk, it’s you.”

    He recognized this man as Su Tao’s uncle, and he had been attending the chrysanthemum viewing party that day.

    “Since Mr. Yan recognizes me, I can tell you clearly.”

    Yan Shu impatiently swept the fine snow off his shoulders, “I still have something to do, please tell me if you have anything to say.”

    “I just want to advise Mr. Yan that since you are already engaged and married, you should not disturb some girls who have not left the court. Giving people hope and despair is inevitably against the way of a gentleman.”

    “Ha”

    The way of a gentleman.

    Yan Shu was amused and thought this person was quite interesting, so he suddenly took notice of him.

    “Although I think Mr. Su has misunderstood me, I appreciate Mr. Su’s gentlemanly manner. In this case, I would like to ask Mr. Su for help with something.”

    “What’s the matter”

    Could it be that if Taoer doesn’t like this person, then why can’t she marry him?

    “I received news that Miss Su was attending a business banquet at Fengmanlou. I was a little worried.”

    “Where is the business banquet, do you know who it is with?”

    Yan Shu quickly reassured her, “Don’t worry, don’t worry. It’s just an ordinary business banquet. There are a few store employees in the private room. I was originally worried that Miss Su would suffer. Since Mr. Su is here again, it would be more appropriate for you to go as you do.”

    “where”

    “Private Room Jiazi on the third floor.”

    “Thank you very much”

    Fan Mo hugged him and hurried to the third floor.

    Yan Shu chuckled and walked into a building next to him unhurriedly.

    The attendant behind he was puzzled, “Why did you tell him this? Are you not afraid that he will cause trouble?”

    “What are you afraid of? It’s the same for anyone who enters the private room after lighting incense. Besides, although I have some plans, Fan Mo will inevitably notice something afterwards. I don’t want to break up with him yet. It would be a pity not to take advantage of the scapegoat who came to my door.”
