My husband, please respect yourself. The princess is here to grab the bride.

A carriage should have been faster than walking.

But at this moment there are many people in the streets.

Bai Shaoqiu and Dongfang Meng arrived at Qianwei Tower one step ahead of the carriage driven by Yu Donglin.

This place is very familiar in Bai Shaoqiu's memory.

After all, it was a place my predecessor often visited.

I don’t know whether Qi Shaotong has arrived or not, and I don’t know which private room Qi Shaotong has booked.

Bai Shaoqiu and Dongfang Meng were about to enter Qianweilou to ask the shopkeeper, but unexpectedly a middle-aged man and two teenagers walked out of the lobby!

Bai Shaoqiu immediately laughed!

That wealthy middle-aged man is Chang Fugui, the owner of Chang’s Bookstore!

The young man on the left of Chang Fugui is Chang Huan, the second son of the Chang family, who was beaten up by Bai Shaoqiu outside Zhuxi!

I don't recognize the young man on the right wearing a Confucian robe.

Chang Fugui and his son obviously did not expect to meet Bai Shaoqiu at this moment.

自己最疼爱的儿子被这废物所揍，这令常富贵非常生气！

If it was the good-for-nothing Bai Shaoqiu from before, he would have countless ways to avenge his son's beating!

But Bai Shaoqiu now... even if he was furious, he didn't dare to act rashly -

This guy won the first place in the Zhuxi Literary Society!

According to reliable sources, the prince and princess witnessed this son-in-law winning the championship at Lanting!

The prince and princess have completely changed their attitude!

They...truly accepted this son-in-law!

This means that Bai Shaoqiu has been recognized by the palace and has become the prince's son-in-law!

Chang Fugui was a man who understood the importance of things and knew the limits. He knew that he could not afford to offend the palace, so he could only swallow his anger and accept the fact that his son was beaten.

He even warned his son to take a detour when he saw Bai Shaoqiu in the future!

Just treat Bai Shaoqiu as a... mad dog!

But now we meet here.

Bai Shaoqiu was actually smiling at them!

Chang Huan suddenly felt unwell.

We can't retreat today, we can't retreat, because the person they are going to entertain is a big shot from Kyoto!

They didn't know how big this big shot was or what he did.

Yesterday, I received an urgent letter from Longxing Bookstore in Kyoto. The letter said that the Fourth Prince informed me that an important figure had come to Xiling City and was staying at... Bai Mansion. He should be treated warmly, which might be beneficial to the Third Prince.

This big shot is really big.

Receiving this important person became the biggest event for the Chang family!

It just so happened that Fan Wushuang, one of the four great talents of Kyoto, also came to Xiling City today. After thinking about it, Chang Huan decided to take Fan Wushuang with him.

After all, the name of Mr. Wushuang is still very famous in Kyoto.

Maybe that important person knows him, so the conversation at the table will be more relaxed and natural.

They had arranged everything, so they went downstairs to wait for the arrival of the important man in advance, but unexpectedly, the important man did not arrive, but the enemy was right in front of them.

Chang Huan's eyes suddenly turned red.

He forgot the original decision to let Bai Shaoqiu go to Kyoto next year and die in Kyoto.

Chang Fugui took a look and felt that there was no good intention in Bai Shaoqiu's smile.

He couldn't let his son act impulsively. It would be unwise to act impulsively at this time!

He quickly bowed and said with a smile, "Master Bai, are you here to dine too?"

Bai Shaoqiu glanced at Chang Fugui and smiled slightly, but his words were very rude: "If he is stupid, are you stupid too? If you come to Qianweilou and don't eat, do you want to take a shower?"

When Chang Huan heard this, he was about to speak, but his father reached out and pulled him behind him.

Chang Fugui was still cheerful and said in a very nonchalant manner, "That's right, Mr. Bai, just order the dishes and the bill will be on my head."

"Speaking of which... well, Mr. Bai, I'm afraid you don't know that although your father and I didn't interact much in the past, we did drink together a few times."

"I, Chang Fugui, admire your father very much. When it comes to opening a bookstore, I can't catch up with your father even if I flatter him."

"Chang's Bookstore used to make a little money from the books provided by Bai's Bookstore... I, Chang Fugui, have always been grateful for this and never dared to forget it."

"After your father left Xiling City, I thought about taking care of you, but I had so much to do at Chang's Bookstore that I was delayed."

"Now that you've won the first place in the Zhuxi Literary Society, I'm sincerely happy for you... The Bai family has a successor. If Mr. Bai has any good articles, I'm willing to pay a high price for them."

Bai Shaoqiu was immediately amused, "Rich, but I heard that you spent 50,000 taels of silver to buy my loss!"

"I say, you don't think highly of me, how about we stop being so hypocritical?"

Chang Fugui suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Fifty thousand taels of silver is not a small amount!

The son swore that the idiot Bai Shaoqiu would definitely lose. In order to ensure his defeat, he even mobilized Qi Ye, who had always been following the old scholar Si, to sneak into Lanting and ask the key question.

But unexpectedly, the questions Qiye gave were actually fake!

What's more unexpected is that this idiot Bai Shaoqiu is not stupid at all!

He actually got seven A's!

Chang Fugui was the first to learn about the Zhuxi Literary Society. He felt sorry for the 50,000 taels of silver!

How many books do I have to sell to make back the profit?

At this time, Bai Shaoqiu rubbed salt into his wounds. His face twitched, but he still forced a smile and said:

"I bet on you to lose. That was my wife's doing. I really don't know."

"These words are not just pretentious words from me..."

He bowed again and said, "Mr. Bai is not an ordinary person. I, Chang Fugui, sincerely want to make friends with him."

"How about we just wipe the slate clean?"

"I guarantee that Chang's company will pay a premium for Mr. Bai's article... Mr. Bai has the final say on the price!"

Chang Fugui kept a very low profile.

It was the time and the situation, and he knew better than many people that Bai Shaoqiu must not be provoked now!

This is Xiling City. No one dares to touch the son-in-law of the prince's palace here!

Especially when he learned that Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess had a very good personal relationship with Bai Shaoqiu, he realized more clearly that this former waste had now become someone that no one could reach.

Revenge must be avenged.

But not now, and certainly not in Xiling City.

Next year Bai Shaoqiu will go to Kyoto...

Chang Fugui certainly knew the situation in Kyoto better than Su Sanniang of Chang Ye Huan, and he also knew better what the son-in-law of the royal palace would encounter after going to Kyoto.

That is a sea of ​​fire and swords!

It's a den of dragons and tigers!

He also firmly believed that Bai Shaoqiu had no chance of leaving Kyoto alive!

Therefore, it is not shameful to bow to Bai Shaoqiu at this time. A living person does not need to bother with a dying person.

Bai Shaoqiu didn't expect Chang Fugui to be so humble.

He immediately looked up to Chang Fugui. This businessman was a qualified businessman who knew how to seek profit and avoid harm, and also knew how to make choices.

However, Chang took advantage of the situation and bought Bai's Bookstore at a very low price, staging a classic drama of a snake swallowing an elephant. This made Bai Shaoqiu still feel uneasy.

The Bai's Bookstore was sold from its predecessor, and Bai Shaoqiu had no intention of taking it back by force.

What he wanted was to defeat Chang's Bookstore fairly through Sanwei Bookstore!

He just wanted to provoke Chang Fugui and Chang Huan so that he could have an excuse to beat them up.

But Chang Fugui obviously didn't give himself the chance to lose his temper!

People say you shouldn't hit someone who smiles at you. How could you hit Chang Fugui when his face is already broken from smiling?

He decided not to be reasonable!

So he took two steps forward and patted Chang Fugui on the shoulder:

"Fugui, let's not talk about the past."

"But now we have to talk about what's going on."
