Chapter 19: A Chance Encounter with the Prince
On this day, early in the morning, the government issued a notice informing him that the case of Qi Wei Zhai had been tried, and the man in black who was arrested confessed to his crime, because he was jealous of Qi Wei Zhai's hot business, and he was resentful, so he spent money to hire someone to make trouble, and signed the confession and drew the detention, but this person may have committed suicide in prison because of deep guilt.

Suicide in fear of sin? Is it just because of a framed crime? Shen Yanjiao heard the news from her subordinates, and her face was puzzled, this crime of framing is not serious, and she can come out after being locked up for a year and a half at most, but this person is ...... I really can't figure it out. Shen Yanjiao shook her head and stopped thinking about it.
It seems that everything is back on the original track, Shen Yanjiao's strange taste is making money, and a new shopkeeper has been hired, and Neon has been able to get out and return to her side to serve. And Shen Yanjiao also abides by the contract, every month to provide a strange recipe to the Xiang Sihai Restaurant, coupled with the previous supreme recipe, the business of the restaurant under the Wanshang Alliance is in full swing for a while, especially the Xiang Sihai Restaurant in the capital, has continuously launched a series of new dishes, called "Strange Flavor Collection", where have people seen such a novelty, have never seen but the top delicious dishes, for a while they have come to taste, resulting in the Xiang Sihai Restaurant is full of guests and friends every day, and the money is like flowing water. Rong Shuyu saw that the business was so prosperous, so he had no choice but to stay here to take care of the business.
In a blink of an eye, the end of the year has arrived.
Shen Yanjiao sat in the room and looked at the crystal snow outside the window, watching them pile up on the windowsill one by one, and then sighed slightly, at this time Neon just walked in with the ironed clothes, and saw that Shen Yanjiao seemed to be frowning, so she asked tentatively: "Miss?" What's wrong with you? Is there something that is happening with such sighs? ”
Shen Yanjiao was still staring at the snow outside the window, her eyes were in a daze, and she replied in a wooden voice: "Neon, it's almost the New Year in a blink of an eye, you say...... Do I want to go back to the General's Mansion for the New Year? After all, I am still from that house, but I am not at home to reunite with my family during the Chinese New Year, I am only afraid of causing criticism...... It's just that I don't want to go back and face those people, but I haven't seen those two little ones for a long time, and I really miss them...... Yes! It's so tangled! Speaking of this, Shen Yanjiao hugged her head and wailed.
Neon sneered and laughed, it turned out that Miss was worried about this! She thought about it for a while, and suddenly clapped her hands excitedly, and said, "Miss, I thought of it!" As...... Let's buy a lot of New Year's goods first, block the mouths of those leisurely people, and then go back to have a reunion dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve, it's not a big deal to stay overnight, as for the first day of the new year, under the pretext that the business is busy and can't stay at home for a long time, just rely on the silver taels that Miss gave to Mrs. Yueyue for a while, she will definitely not give you a look! ”
Shen Yanjiao's eyes lit up, this idea is good! She got up suddenly, her eyes lit up and she said excitedly, "Neon, go!" Let's go shopping! Then he turned around and cleaned up casually, and then went out with Neon and Afu Alu, considering that there might be a lot of things to buy, she and Neon would definitely not be able to get it all, so it would be more appropriate to bring two helpers.
Sure enough, after shopping all the way, Shen Yanjiao bought a lot of silk and satin and rouge gouache. Shen Yanjiao was reading the things she wanted to buy while walking, to see if there was anything missing, she suddenly thought of something, and suddenly said, "That's right!" And bring a few boxes of good tea for my father, neon, keep up, let's go to the tea shop! And the people who followed behind were full of wry smiles, their young lady was really ...... If you don't buy it, you'll go crazy if you buy it!
Neon and Ah Fu Alu carried it in their hands, carried it on their shoulders, and staggered behind Shen Yanjiao, so tired that they were panting.
"Congratulations to the prince to our store, it really makes our store shine!" The shopkeeper of the tea shop knelt down to the one-size-fits-all slender rich boy and said respectfully.
The young man was dressed in a bright yellow brocade robe for the royal family, with a moon-white tiger striped jade belt pinned to his waist, his sideburns were like clouds, and his hair color was like ink. It's just that he has a pure gold and jade mask on his face, and he can't see his real face, only revealing a pair of deep and sharp eyes, and lightly pursed red lips, which makes people secretly guess that his true face must be handsome and extraordinary.
Shen Yanjiao happened to see this scene when she came to the tea shop, and she originally wondered why there were so many people watching outside the store, and a group of officers and soldiers guarded the door of the store and did not let anyone in. In confusion, Shen Yanjiao listened quietly for a while, only to know that it was the current prince who came, because she heard that the tea shop had found a box of precious Snow Mountain Longding tea from nowhere this time, and specially came here to buy it as a New Year's gift to the emperor at the New Year's dinner. The onlookers talked a lot, all of them were praising the prince for knowing how to personally select congratulatory gifts to honor his parents at a young age, and this filial piety is really a blessing for the country.
Shen Yanjiao pursed her lips and muttered disdainfully: "Cut, isn't it just for outsiders to see!" It's just to buy a tea, and it's so fanfare, you can't just send someone to buy it! The prince seemed to be aware of it and turned his head to look outside the house, his eyes lightly skimmed over Shen Yanjiao's body, Shen Yanjiao immediately stood on end, but when she looked closely, she found that the prince's figure had disappeared at the door and walked into the inner room, and everything just seemed to be her illusion.
Shen Yanjiao is in a hurry to buy something! Waiting left and right, even if the prince doesn't come out, if the prince doesn't come out, the officers and soldiers at the door won't let people in, and Shen Yanjiao is irritable and angry.
"This person is really, it's hard to buy a tea, just pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, it's really a mother-in-law." Shen Yanjiao said to herself dissatisfied, turned around and saw that the accompanying people were already tired and paralyzed on the ground holding things, there was no way, she had to let Neon and them go back to the house first, Neon looked at Shen Yanjiao worriedly, Shen Yanjiao waved her hand knowingly, and said, "Let's go back first!" I'm fine myself. Neon and they went back with confidence.
didn't know that her every move fell into the eyes of one person.
At this time, the prince was sitting by the window on the second floor of the tea shop, sipping tea and looking at the people below, but his eyes were ...... has always only fallen on Shen Yanjiao, and it seems that she is particularly interested in Shen Yanjiao. Therefore, Shen Yanjiao's face was full of grievances, he saw it clearly, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, revealing an evil smile, but because of the mask on his face, it was not real.
"I don't know the prince...... Are you satisfied? The prince can rest assured, our store guarantees that this box of Snow Mountain Longding Tea is absolutely genuine, and the small one is willing to guarantee his life! If it weren't for the prince's filial piety to move the sky, he took a fancy to this thing and wanted to offer it to the emperor as a congratulatory gift, and the little one would have been reluctant to cut his love, otherwise the little one would have wanted to hide it for a lifetime and would never sell it! The shopkeeper said respectfully to the prince on the side, his face was full of pain but he kept pleasing him, because he sold tea, and he was also a good tea person, and it took him a lot of effort to receive this box of tea.
The prince nodded and said, "Very good." Then he raised his head to signal, and the person who was waiting on the side hurriedly took out a brocade box, opened it in front of the shopkeeper and handed it over, which was impressively lined with rows of golden ingots, and the weight was enough to look dozens of taels, and the shopkeeper's eyes were straight for a while, and his feet couldn't move. Hair...... Get rich! The shopkeeper thought that doing business with the royal family was refreshing, although they were difficult to serve, but they were generous! The shopkeeper of the tea shop had a glint in his eyes and an obsessive look on his face, stroking the box of gold, ignoring anyone's call.
It's almost time, the man...... I'm impatient! The prince looked at the glamorous shadow outside the window and thought, then got up and was about to leave, and the entourage hurriedly brought the box of snow-capped dragon ding tea that had been packed and beautifully packaged, and hurriedly followed. And the shopkeeper also came to his senses in time and sent him all the way.
From the moment the prince entered the door to the time he left, he only said two words in total, which is really a treasure of words!
Shen Yanjiao was tired of waiting, and was about to turn around and leave to buy it another day, anyway, there is still some time before the New Year. At this time, there was another uproar in the crowd, Shen Yanjiao stretched out her head to see, it turned out that this person had finally left, and seeing that the officers and soldiers at the door had also lifted their guard, she couldn't wait to go inside, muttering dissatisfiedly as she walked: "Really, wasting so much of my time in vain!" ”
The prince's body that was about to lift his legs and get on the sedan chair instantly stiffened slightly, but it was just a momentary thing, and no one noticed it. Then he got into the sedan chair as if nothing had happened, and gradually left under the protection of a group of people.
Shen Yanjiao looked at the dazzling array of tea leaves and didn't know what tea to choose, so she had to choose a few not too expensive ones recommended by the guy and bought a few boxes, and then bought a few small things that children like on the way home, and a variety of candied candies, and then returned to the house with large bags.
When she was about to get home, Shen Yanjiao found that there was a little person wandering there at the door, as if she wanted to go in but didn't dare, and then she stepped forward curiously to take a look, only to find that this little person turned out to be a little girl who had a relationship in the slave market that day, as if her name was what...... That's right, it's called Lu'er!
"Lu'er, why are you here!" Shen Yanjiao stepped forward with a look of surprise, and saw that Xiao Lu'er's complexion was better than the last time she saw her, so she relaxed a little and asked.
"Sister, I'm sorry! Lu'er heard you and your brothers and sisters say that they came here to see you that day, so I secretly wrote down the address and found it. Xiao Lu'er saw that it was Shen Yanjiao who helped her that day, she raised her head with surprise on her face, and then apologized hesitantly.
Shen Yanjiao looked at the child with a slight distress, touched her head and comforted her: "Sister didn't mean to blame Lu'er, she just wanted to know why Lu'er suddenly came to find her sister, what happened?" ”
