I survived as a female assassin

"Are you and Miss Yue... serious?"

"of course!"

"But you haven't even spent much time together, how can you be so sure you're suitable for each other?"

For example, her parents knew each other for more than ten years before they got married, and then she was born.

Love at first sight is too far-fetched, isn't it?

Besides, they didn’t fall in love at first sight. Didn’t they always quarrel with each other before?

"Suitable? I didn't think too much about it. Liking someone is just a matter of a moment. Isn't there a saying that love lasts a lifetime at first sight?"

The first thing that comes to mind when I hear Yi Yan Wan Nian Xin Youran is the source of this poem - "Spring Breeze and Autumn Water Are Not Stabilized by Dust".

But this is a modern poem, so Xiahou Rui hit the mark by accident, right?

“The spring breeze and autumn water are untainted by dust; the colorful jade and bright moon are our predecessors.

A glance at the thousands of snow-capped trees for eternity, except for my longing for you, it’s not you.

The lady in the colorful dress needs to drink wine, and she laughs at the prince with drunken eyes.

The flying geese tread on the snow, their first sign of the wind, blowing thin and awakening the ancient and modern people."

Xin Youran recited the poem unconsciously, and she was observing Xia Hou Rui's reaction.

"Brother Xin is indeed a man of temperament!"

"I knew you would understand me."

Well, not really, it's just a poem that suddenly popped into my mind...

"Brother Xiahou may be full of passion, but Miss Yue doesn't have such feelings for you. As the saying goes, there are many better flowers in the world, so why should you be obsessed with just one flower?"

Xiahou Rui really looked confident of victory at this moment, and she had never seen him like this before.

"I like it, that's enough."

Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Xin Youran had no choice but to give up.

The next day, she got up early and without caring about anything else, she almost rushed directly into Leng Yue's room.

She first saw the steaming food on the table, such a sumptuous meal early in the morning.

Why don’t I see anyone?

She pulled open the bed curtains and saw Leng Yue lying on the bed in a daze, her eyes wide open, as if she wanted to eat someone...

"Xiao Yueyue, are you... awake or asleep?"

After a long while, she gritted her teeth and said, "Xia Hou Rui and I will never reconcile!!!"

Then he sat up from the bed. When he saw the food on the table, he became so angry that he made a move to overturn the table.

Fortunately, Xin Youran reacted quickly and hugged her waist tightly. "Don't be impulsive. Impulse is the devil. The delicious food is innocent. Don't waste it!"

She could tell that Xiahou Rui must have come earlier than her. If her guess was correct, the luxurious breakfast on the table was also prepared by him.

But in the end, almost all of these delicacies went into Xin Youran's stomach, and Leng Yue didn't even look at them.

"Xiao Yueyue, please stop being angry. Being angry is punishing yourself for someone else's mistakes. Besides, they've already run away and we can't see them anymore."

"If you ask me, you should just eat and drink and not take anything to heart."

"The best way to deal with a scoundrel is to be more scoundrel than he is!"

What Xin Youran didn't expect was that her persuasion was actually quite useful.

I don’t know which words touched Leng Yue, but her eyes suddenly lit up, and then she started to have breakfast with her.

"If Master Qiu doesn't look for me again today, let's go back to Crescent Valley first. I miss Wanwan, Xiao Anning, and Xiao Momo..."

Leng Yue paused holding the chopsticks when she heard this. This was truly rare. It was the first time she heard Xueying ask who he was thinking about.

"it is good."

After they finished their breakfast, they packed up and were about to go to the street to bring some snacks back for Banban and Xiao An Ning.

But she didn't expect someone to ask for her by name.

This person is young, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looks very righteous. She is definitely not someone she knows.

The man bowed quickly upon seeing Xin Youran. "My name is Xing Wenchong, the owner of Mingyuzhai. May I have a moment with you, young master?"

The street where she and Leng Yue were walking was several blocks away from Ming Yu Zhai. It seemed that this person came here specifically to find her.

After the man finished speaking, he made a gesture of invitation to her. Xin Youran looked in the direction of his hand and saw that there was a carriage parked on the side of the road.

The carriage looks very low-key, so why did the owner of Mingyuzhai come out so easily?

Could it be related to Xia Hou Rui?

Is this guy so efficient?

Although she does not agree with taking shortcuts, she will not let down others' kindness.

So he nodded and walked towards the carriage.

The shopkeeper was very gentlemanly throughout the whole process and served her at her beck and call.

After the three of them boarded the carriage, Xing Wenchong quickly pulled out a jar of ointment from his sleeve and asked, "Is this made by the young master?"

Xin Youran took it. This bottle of ointment was made by her, but it was not one of the twenty bottles she made later. It was one of the ten bottles she sold at Ningxiang Pavilion at the beginning.

"Exactly!"

"It turns out that Manager Xing has been paying attention to this gardenia ointment I made for a long time."

He smiled lightly and quickly replied, "Of course. I have both of these ointments from Ningxiang Pavilion's two pre-sales. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy ensures victory in a hundred battles."

"Master Xin should know how many customers your perfume has brought to Ningxiang Pavilion. Everyone has gone to great lengths to get a piece of this perfume, even buying up a large amount of their other goods in exchange for a spot."

"But after these two pre-sales, Ningxiang Pavilion's revenue has tripled to five times its previous monthly income."

"Of course, these are just additional benefits. The most important point is that your balm is really good."

"After research and testing by more than a dozen incense masters at Ming Yu Zhai, its fragrance is the longest-lasting of any perfume to date."

Xing Wenchong was talking a lot, and Xin Youran could see that the reason why he could become the owner of Mingyuzhai was that he must be a powerful person.

Later, when she heard him praising the ointment she made, she couldn't help but smile.

I didn’t expect that I would be appreciated by others through my own efforts!

"Thank you for your kind words, Manager Xing. If you like, I can give you another can."

Xing Wenchong was very calm and went on to explain his purpose. "Mr. Xin is a smart man. I came here to invite you to sell this perfume in Ming Yu Zhai."

"I believe Manager Xing should know that I had dinner with Manager Guo of Ningxiang Pavilion yesterday and wanted to reach a long-term cooperation agreement."

Xing Wenchong was still confident, and this time his laughter was hearty. "You also said you wanted it, but there's no written contract yet."

"Mingyuzhai can also accept all the terms of Ningxiang Pavilion, and will maximize your interests based on what they offer."

"Mr. Xin, what do you think?"

Xing Wenchong saw Xin Youran's hesitation and said, "Mr. Xin, there's no need to rush to give an answer. Think it over before making a decision."

The carriage had stopped by then, and Xing Wenchong bowed again, "Then I, Xing, will respectfully await your good news."

"If Mr. Xin has made up his mind, he can send someone to Ming Yu Zhai to deliver the letter at any time, and I, Xing, will send someone to pick it up."

Xin Youran lifted the curtain of the carriage and found that they were back to the starting point.

Xing Wenchong is really considerate and good at observing people's words and expressions.

She and Leng Yue got off the carriage. After watching it drive away, she slowly spoke, "Xiao Yueyue, please do me a favor and tell Manager Guo of Ningxiang Pavilion about our recent meeting with Manager Xing of Mingyuzhai."

Leng Yue looked at Xin Youran's thoughtful face, wondering what she had in mind, but she nodded and said, "I'll go when you go find Mu Yuan."
