Chapter 2 One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers
Zhang Xiaojing fell in love with this place at a glance. She really hoped that she could sit in the bright terrace, bathe in the warm sunshine, enjoy the lake and mountains, enjoy tea, read, play piano, play chess, write, and draw...
Of course, the premise is that these two people can live in harmony.
But, is it possible?
I'm afraid it's a big deal.
Alas, there are no two tigers in one mountain...
~~
In fact, Jiang Xueying was even more surprised than Li Mingyue. After all, she had no idea that the emperor's niece, the dignified Lanling County Lord, would have fallen from the sky a quarter of an hour ago.
She had been busy in Suzhou for more than a month and had been busy with the opening of Jiangnan Bank. She only took her off a few days ago and rushed to Jinling to negotiate with Longjiang Bao Shipyard.
After several days of repeated tug-of-war, the day before yesterday, a package of contracts including trained shipbuilders was signed.
However, because Longjiang Bao Shipyard is an official institution, the contract will take effect only after the Caojiang Censorate's Office is reviewed correctly.
Although Uncle Wu is here, everything is just a formality, but it is not easy for everyone to go too far. So she still has to wait patiently for a few days before she can return to Suzhou after all the procedures are completed.
In addition, she has been too tired in the past few months, so Zhao Hao ordered her to put down her work and take a good rest in the villa in the Mid-mountain for a few days.
Li Mingyue came the next day after she rested. Why did you think she was so intimate?
~~
The carriage was parked on the green lawn, and Li Mingyue got off with the help of A Cai.
Jiang Xueying also came along the winding path with Xiao Yun'er's support.
The two of them, who had just crossed their eyes, walked closer, and the noble and graceful smile had regained their faces.
President Jiang naturally smiled enthusiastically and kindly, completely different from the coldness before.
She said gracefully and frivolously, "I guess this is the sister Mingyue, I have been recognizing my name for a long time."
"Yes, it's the lord of this county." Li Mingyue made a rare show of the story and asked with a smile: "Why is this lady's name Fang in my eldest brother Zhao's house?"
"Because this is also my family." Jiang Xueying smiled with a smile with Ropa covering her mouth, and then said seriously: "Then let me introduce myself to my sister. I am the goddaughter of Grandpa Zhao's grandfather, the elder brother Zhao's sister, and Jiang Xueying, the president of Jiangnan Company."
She has seen more open and hidden arrows than the ones the little county lord has shot. How could she be angry with this level of provocation?
"Ah, that's it." Li Mingyue also covered her mouth with her back and smiled: "So, this is my family. My mother, Princess Ning'an, is also Brother Zhao's godmother."
Fortunately, the little county lord is a master of drama. No matter how angry he is, he will never show his timidity on his face.
Maybe this is the royal inheritance.
"Is this the little lord? The little lord is so bright." Jiang Xueying seemed to have not heard her words and turned to Li Chengen to do his best.
"Yeah." Lee Cheng-en nodded, clasped his fists and returned the favor, and did not speak. It would be better not to cause trouble for such a fierce battle.
Then Jiang Xueying turned to Zhang Xiaojing again, and couldn't help but say with a stunning heart: "I wonder who this fairy-like sister is?"
"This is my mother's goddaughter, Grand Secretary Zhang's daughter!" Before Zhang Xiaojing could speak, Li Mingyue replied to her. Look, my helpers are much more noble than you!
Zhang Xiaojing smiled apologetically and returned the greeting to Jiang Xue Ying.
"Quickly please come in." Jiang Xueying welcomed the three of them into the terrace where Xiao Zhuzi was extremely impressed with the viewing terrace.
~~
There is no fire on the terrace, it is as warm as spring.
Facing the lake, there is a set of soft soft sofa chairs, a thick carpet on the ground, a long coffee table in the middle, and exquisite desserts and fruits on it.
On the other side, there are bookshelfs, painting tables, piano tables, chess scales, a few pots of orchids and plum blossoms dotted among them, the layout is warm, comfortable and stylish.
At first glance, it was written by a woman who also knows how to draw.
Zhang Xiaojing sighed in her heart that her dream was realized first by others. Unexpectedly, Miss Jiang not only knows how to do business, but also has such a good taste in home furnishings.
But it may also be the work of Secretary Ma who plays the piano and draws. Who knows? She doesn't dare to praise her anyway, nor does she dare to ask.
After asking the three of them to sit on the sofa chair, Jiang Xueying smiled and said, "This is designed by my brother based on the 'Yujiu' of the Han Dynasty. Although it is not suitable for formal occasions, it is actually much more comfortable to sit down than a wooden chair... but you have to relax and lean on it."
Lee Chengen leaned his back back, feeling his whole body being held back, and he couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. Then he let his body fall into the sofa with a look of enjoyment.
Li Mingyue instinctively wanted to lean on her, but when she saw her brother sitting invisible, she immediately looked dark. She still sat there with her waist straight and asked Jiang Xueying, "Where is my brother?"
"Oh, my brother has something urgent to go back to Kunshan." Jiang Xueying smiled and said: "What a coincidence, I just left yesterday."
Li Mingyue was about to lose her face, but clearly felt the meaning of gloating from the other party's smile, and she smiled indifferently: "I also blame me, I want to give him a surprise and not let someone tell him in advance."
"My sister is really sensible." Jiang Xueying praised her and put a high hat on Li Mingyue and said, "In the past six months, my brother has been too busy. He runs back and forth in Jinling, Suzhou, Kunshan, and Chongming, so tired that he has no time to take a good rest. I, a sister, really want to share his worries for him."
"..." Li Mingyue originally planned to go to Kunshan immediately, but when she heard this, she had to hold back her thoughts first. Otherwise, wouldn't she seem too ignorant?
At this time, Xiao Yuner presented fragrant tea, Jiang Xueying smiled and introduced: "This is the Biluochun produced by our Xishan Island. Do you like it if you like it?"
What else is Li Mingyue's mood to have a tea? She pretended to be a sample and smiled perfunctorily: "It's not bad."
"This is the tea named by his brother, he likes it so much." But Jiang Xue smiled and said.
"..." Li Mingyue's smile froze.
"Try these Su-like snacks again." Jiang Xueying warmly invited her to have a snack.
"It's so delicious, I like it very much." Li Mingyue sipped it in a small mouthful and praised it.
"Is that so, then our hobbies are the same." 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 snacks."
"..." Li Mingyue's mouth twitched twice, thinking to herself, why is this Jiangnan woman so annoying? Every sentence is either with a hook or a pitfall.
Actually, she herself is not?
This has nothing to do with whether it is a northern rouge or a Jiangnan woman...
Fortunately, Jiang Xueying was very sensible and came back with a little revenge, so that Li Mingyue knew that she was not easy to bully, so she could stop.
No matter how she said that the other party was a guest, if she was aggressive and made her cry, it would be difficult for her brother to explain.
So the following conversation was no longer as strong as the smell of gunpowder.
But Li Chengen and Zhang Xiaojing both knew that this was just testing each other's firepower, and the real battle had not begun.
Chapter completed!
