Chapter 966 Taking the opportunity to win over

Li Dan was already so anxious that he didn't notice Mr. Qu getting angry at all. He pointed at Bai Ruozhu and said, "You are such a cunning woman. You must have obtained the account books in advance. This competition does not count!"

Mr. Qu slapped his hand on the table, "Even Elder Wei has never made a big fuss in my Wuyuan City. Li Dan, if you continue to talk nonsense, don't blame me for being rude!"

Bai Ruozhu ignored Li Dan, looked at Mr. Qu with a smile, and said, "Mr. Qu, there is no need to be angry. Everyone can see the competition. It is fair and reasonable. Let's go ahead and award the rewards."

Mr. Qu had to admit that he would feel much better when facing a beautiful and smiling woman. He was too lazy to show off like Li Dan and directly awarded everyone with awards.

The first place reward was a very beautifully crafted abacus, with the corners wrapped in sterling silver. It looked very beautiful, but unfortunately it was of no use to Bai Ruozhu. But she still happily accepted it. She could give it away if she didn't need it.

The second place reward was a fine langhao pen, but Mr. Qu reluctantly gave it to Li Dan. The subsequent rewards also had their own characteristics. The winners were very happy, because not only did they get those The reward was still recognized by the Chamber of Commerce, and some people even joined the Wuyuan City Chamber of Commerce.

Li Dan glared at Bai Ruozhu fiercely and said, "We'll see!"

"Don't always say harsh words. Remember our bet. I believe it is impossible for the Chamber of Commerce to choose someone who breaks his word as a young elder, right?" Bai Ruozhu raised his eyebrows at Li Dan with a very serious expression. Li Dan was so proud that he almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing Li Dan leading the people away, Mr. Qu's eyes fell on Bai Ruozhu's unwilling to return the abacus, and said to Bai Ruozhu: "Little friend Bai, you have something to do when you come to the chamber of commerce, right? Why don't you go in with me and have a cup of tea?"

Bai Ruozhu knew that Mr. Qu wanted to ask about the abacus, so she told Mr. Qu, and then went over to her parents and said: "Dad, mother, grandpa, the patriarch, you go to welcome the guests first and order the dishes. I'll be there later." .”

Lin Ping'er didn't want to leave, but considering that Bai Lu had been standing there for a long time, she finally listened to Bai Ruozhu and passed first.

Bai Ruozhu went to the backyard with Teacher Qu and his disciples. Mr. Qu bowed to Bai Ruozhu directly and said, "Old man, thank you, little friend Bai, for taking care of the face of the Wuyuan City Chamber of Commerce. Old man also promised me that I will get to the bottom of it and prevent this person from being allowed to do anything." People who practice fraud harm the Chamber of Commerce."

Bai Ruozhu nodded, taught the abacus to Mr. Qu, and said, "Mr. Qu, be careful. There is a protruding wooden thorn on this bead. Don't prick your hand. This is important physical evidence."

Qu Lao has presbyopia due to his old age and cannot see clearly. Xue Rang only saw it after looking carefully.

"Master, there is indeed a thin thorn that is difficult to find."

Bai Ruozhu continued: "The poison on the thorn will make people temporarily dizzy. Although they won't faint, it will definitely have an impact on settling accounts."

Teacher Qu and his disciples suddenly realized, and they all secretly cursed Li Dan for being so despicable and shameless.

"The Chamber of Commerce cannot choose such a person as a young elder, even if he can do abacus at the age of three!" Mr. Qu said angrily.

Bai Ruozhu smiled and said, "People like Manager Su must be dealt with well. The rules of the Chamber of Commerce are the most stringent, and this time is no exception."

"Yes, yes, we must not tolerate it." Mr. Qu said.

"However, your master and disciple have offended Elder Wei and others because of me, and I'm afraid you will run into trouble in the future. This is my master's letter plate. If you encounter trouble in the future, you can use this letter plate to ask my master for help. Bai Ruozhu said and handed over a letter sign, which was equivalent to handing out an olive branch to recruit the two of them.

Mr. Qu has always been relatively neutral, and he couldn't help but hesitate at this moment. Xue Rang was more cheerful, pulled his master's sleeve, and then said to Bai Ruozhu: "My master has always admired Elder Lin's demeanor. If we can serve Elder Lin in the future, it will be us." It’s an honor to be a master and a disciple.”

Bai Ruozhu smiled and gave the two of them a hand, "I also want to thank you on Master's behalf."

After Bai Ruozhu left, Mr. Qu sighed and said, "I am getting old after all, and I am not as decisive as you. You just did the right thing."

Xue Rang shook his head, "Master is worried too much about his disciple, so he has many worries. It's because his disciple is stupid and has been unable to take charge."

…

In the bookstore on West Street, Bai Zepei picked some books and was reading them. The journey was still far, so he couldn't buy too many books, but he was very interested in the books he had in hand, and he didn't know how to choose for a while.

At this time, the bookstore door curtain rang, and the shopkeeper smiled and said, "What books does this girl need?"

A woman's soft voice sounded, "Are there any books about miscellany or travel notes?"

"That's the last row. Go check it out yourself, girl. If you like story books, the first row on the right is the latest and most fashionable story books." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

Bai Zepei raised his head and looked at the person who came. Although he had not spoken before, he knew that the person who came was Princess Jade.

Princess Yuhuan was also stunned when she saw Bai Zepei, and her mood was a little complicated for a while. She almost never met the Bai family on weekdays, and rarely met Bai Zepei, but now that she met like this, she still couldn't help but think of her life-saving pill that Bai Zepei took to save her life.

She has a good heart and will not blame the Bai family for this, nor does she have any resentment towards Bai Zepei, but even so, she still feels uncomfortable in her heart, feeling uncomfortable that she may always be like this.

Bai Zepei's eyes also flashed with embarrassment. He knew the situation of Princess Yushan, and also knew that his sister felt that she owed Princess Yushan for this, and he was the one who really benefited.

He nodded slightly and saluted, "Jade...Miss, you are here to buy books too."

Princess Yushan got off the boat later than them, and she had her own guard beside her, but the guard didn't follow her.

"Yes." Princess Jade Man replied, but felt a little awkward, so she had to ask again: "What books have you bought?"

"Because I can't bring too many things, I'm still choosing." Although Bai Zepei is not as cold as Jiang Yichun on weekdays, he is also calm and calm, but when facing Princess Jade Temple, he is much more polite.

Princess Jade Temple nodded and said nothing. She went to pick out travel books by herself. Feeling embarrassed, Bai Zepei quickly selected three books and said, "I've made my selections and will leave first. Miss Jade, please pay more attention to your safety."

"Okay." Princess Yuyan watched Bai Zepei pay and leave, with a wry smile on her lips. However, she was wearing a gauze hat, so no one could see her expression.

Bai Zepei took the book and went to greet the guests. At this time, everyone in the family had arrived, and they were all talking about Bai Ruozhu's participation in the competition to show off his prowess. Bai Zepei put the book aside with a slight smile on his face, and did not mention what happened to him on the way. To the matter of Princess Jade.

Bai Ruozhu rushed to welcome the guests and gave the abacus she had just obtained to Zhang Liliang. Everyone had a lively meal and then went to buy some things before returning to the ship.

When the boat left, Jiang Yichun failed to come back. Although Bai Ruozhu was mentally prepared, she was still a little reluctant and worried.
