Chapter 150 Customized Business
After Xiao Jiyao left, Aying kept thinking about what she said. What tricks was she trying to play?
Just when I was at a loss for words, Xiao Cong arrived.
"Why do you look so listless?" Xiao Cong still had that indifferent look on his face.
Ah Ying couldn't help but look at Xiao Cong's eyes.
Xiao Cong, who felt a little embarrassed by Ah Ying's gaze, moved his eyes slightly, "What's wrong?"
"Tell me, are you two siblings making fun of me on purpose?" Ah Ying gave Xiao Cong a gleam.
Xiao Cong immediately retorted, "Hey, hey, hey, don't judge me by one blow! There is a difference between Xiao Jiyao and me!"
Ah Ying was too lazy to pay attention to him, "What's the difference? Aren't they all trying to exploit a poor person like me?"
Seeing that Ah Ying was still able to bicker, Xiao Cong calmed down a little, "How have I ever exploited you? I wanted to hold you in my hands, but you didn't want to..."
Ah Ying glanced at his unruly appearance and said, "If you continue to behave like this, I will leave!"
Xiao Cong immediately became obedient, "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore."
"Let's talk business. Why is Jiyao here?" Xiao Cong looked at Aying with concern.
Ah Ying laughed and said, "You want to use your royal family's money to drive me away from Xie Chengyi."
Xiao Cong immediately became interested and asked, "How did you get back?"
"Look at how you gloat over other people's misfortunes. Can't I have some backbone?"
However, based on Xiao Cong's understanding of Xiao Jiyao, he obviously would not let Ah Ying go, so he asked bluntly: "Do you need my help?"
Seeing Xiao Cong being very serious, Ah Ying's heart was moved, "No need..."
"Really not necessary?" Xiao Cong continued to ask.
Aying nodded. After all, she only intended to treat Xiao Cong as a friend, so it would be better not to get involved too much.
"By the way, what on earth do you want to talk to me about? You're not here just to join in the fun, are you?" Aying looked at Xiao Cong.
Xiao Cong slapped his forehead, then suddenly remembered: "You see, I was so busy talking that I forgot about the important things. Let me ask you something. If I want to give you a gift, what should I give you?"
Ah Ying immediately focused her attention after hearing this. She stopped looking at the scenery and stared at Xiao Cong with a gossipy look on her face. "Whose girl is so worthy of His Royal Highness Prince Rui's efforts to please her?"
Xiao Cong looked mysterious and said, "I can't tell you yet..."
"Oh my, you can't tell me yet! Just buy her everything she likes, she will definitely be touched!" Aying gave Xiao Cong advice in a firm tone.
Xiao Cong shook his head seriously, "You still can't be too casual."
This made Aying even more curious. How could King Rui, who had always been a playboy, also want to settle down?
"Then give her fancy clothes, gold and silver jewelry and the like. It usually doesn't go wrong!" Ah Ying said.
"Isn't that too thoughtless?" Xiao Cong was slightly dissatisfied.
The word "no meaning" confused Ah Ying, but an idea suddenly came to her mind.
In the spirit of not making any money, Ah Ying said with a slight smile: "Ordinary fancy clothes and gold and silver jewelry are indeed not creative. How about this, to show your status, I will give you some customized gifts!"
"Customized gifts?" Xiao Cong became interested.
"Please describe to me what this lady likes, and I will help you select the most suitable cosmetics, perfumes, jade jewelry, and personal accessories for her." Aying said very seriously.
Xiao Cong raised his eyebrows: "Can it be done?"
Ah Ying immediately patted his chest and assured: "Remove the 'ma'! Absolutely!"
Then, he described the young lady's characteristics to Aying.
The more Ah Ying listened, the more she felt that this sister was truly a beauty of the country, a model of gentleness and virtue, and could not help but praise, "Your Highness has a good eye!"
Xiao Cong smiled slightly and did not respond.
Afterwards, Xiao Cong looked at Ah Ying and said, "How about this, I have five hundred taels of silver notes here, you come and help me put together a set of gifts, it has to be thoughtful, not shabby!"
When it comes to money, Ah Ying is as alert as a cat smelling something and says, "Don't worry, Your Highness!"
Xiao Cong was relieved and said, "I trust you to do the job."
The smile on Ah Ying's face almost froze into wrinkles, "Of course!"
Ah Ying's sudden inspiration was to devote some of her energy to the custom series. Who among the dignitaries in Beijing cares about money? But they care about status. The more you can distinguish yourself from others, the more you will be remembered by them.
What happened to Xiao Cong today is just the right excuse to promote Yiren Pavilion.
Ah Ying was busy planning, making lists, and flipping through drawings. Xiao Cong didn't leave either, but followed Ah Ying slowly, watching her work.
Ah Ying urged Xiao Cong to go back several times, but Xiao Cong just said that he was fine and went on drinking tea and reading.
After making the list, he said he would go to the street to take a look.
Still, Xiao Cong didn't leave.
Aying first went to Magnolia Pavilion and carefully communicated her needs with Shopkeeper Zhuo, and then went to Yiren Pavilion to discuss the details with the shopkeeper.
Xiao Cong looked at the serious Ah Ying calmly, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly unconsciously. This was the first time he had seen Ah Ying like this, and he felt that she was extremely attractive, completely different from the weak and timid girl, and he admired her even more...
After everything was arranged, Xiao Cong gave A Ying a lot of good things as a token of his gratitude.
A Ying wanted to refuse at first, as she felt that she should not continue to make money without restraint.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Cong immediately replied: "Besides money, what kind of thanks do you want from me?"
Ah Ying was stunned. It seemed that asking for anything other than money was not good enough. "Thank you, Your Highness."
Just when Xiao Cong was about to leave and A Ying went out to see him off, they saw Fang Gu walking through the corridor, and in the blink of an eye, he went to Songqing Courtyard.
"Fang Gu?" Aying couldn't help but become suspicious.
"Who is it?" Xiao Cong didn't see who it was, but seeing that Aying's face looked a little strange, he asked.
I only heard Ah Ying's low voice, "Someone close to the princess."
Xiao Cong noticed that Ah Ying was looking forward to it, and couldn't help laughing. He shook his head and said deliberately, "I just happen to have something to ask Master Xie, can Miss Ah Ying accompany me?"
"Ah?" Ah Ying was stunned. She was worried that she had no suitable reason.
So, for some unknown reason, he followed Xiao Cong.
To be honest, Aying has never been willing to do such a thing, but what Xiao Jiyao said when she left touched Aying's heart so much that she had to pay attention.
Fang Gu approached Songqingyuan with a gloomy expression.
When he saw Zhan Li, he nodded slightly.
Zhan Li had met Fang Gu in his early years, so he asked softly, "Aunt, what's the matter?"
Fang Gu said with great embarrassment: "I want to find the prince, but the princess has something to do."
Since it was the princess's business, Zhan Li had no reason to stop her outside, so he lifted the curtain and entered.
"Prince, Aunt Fanggu is here." Zhan Li said.
Xie Chengyi frowned slightly and said solemnly: "Let her in."
Fang Gu entered and knelt deeply with a pleading look on his face, "Please, my lord, save the princess!"
"Stand up and talk!" Xie Chengyi's eyes showed a hint of anger.
"The princess is now getting drunk in Chunxie Tower. She won't listen to anything you say and won't leave until you go! She has been drinking for several hours now. The princess has not been in good health in recent years. If she continues drinking like this, I am afraid she can't bear it. I have no other choice but to trouble you, Prince. Please persuade the princess!" Fang Gu couldn't help but burst into tears.
Xie Chengyi frowned. Jiyao used to hate drinking. Even when Xie Chengyi drank, Jiyao would cover her nose and scold him. How could it be now...
In Songqing Courtyard, Ah Ying was walking at the door. When he heard the conversation in the house, he stopped and stopped Zhan Li from communicating.
"I'll send someone to take you back!" Xie Chengyi's face was gloomy.
Fang Gu seemed to have expected this, "You know the princess's temper. If you don't go, I'm afraid she won't leave."
At this moment, Xie Chengyi couldn't help but think of the letter she wrote to him, and he felt a little hesitant.
"Wait a moment..." After a long time, Xie Chengyi's voice slowly came from the room.
Ah Ying outside the door laughed helplessly. She really overestimated herself and underestimated the importance of Xiao Jiyao in Xie Chengyi's heart. No wonder Xiao Jiyao said that even if she didn't give Ah Ying a penny, she could still get Xie Chengyi.
When Xie Chengyi came out, A Ying had already left.
Zhan Li looked at the prince and opened his mouth to give a hint, but when he remembered Ah Ying's instructions, he had to suppress his anxiety and could only hope that the prince would not do anything out of line...
