Chapter 494: Finale (7)
Li Ziyu looked at the woman in front of her with a smile, and politely refused: "This is the proprietress of the inn, right?" The little girl took her family to just go for a walk on the street, so she didn't delay the work of the guys at your inn. β
While talking, Chai Bin and Lin Tianshu both walked downstairs one after another and came to Li Ziyu's sister and brother. And Ah Quan and some of the guards saw that the master had come down, and they also gathered one after another, and the lobby was almost full.
Xiaoshan and Xiaowen felt that something was wrong when Li Ziyu was talking to the proprietress, and silently moved towards their sister, surrounding their sister, Xiaohu, and Lan Lan, and looking at the proprietress with hostility in their eyes. Ao Nan and Gu Yun looked at the boss lady coldly, and the momentum exuded from their bodies made the scene tense instantly.
The proprietress looked at the posture in front of her, and secretly sighed that the group of people in front of her were so keen, knowing that she had inadvertently exposed flaws, which aroused the suspicion of the other party, so she had to continue to talk around quietly: "Hehe, this way, I thought that you had just arrived in Pingzhouγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» it seems that I was too enthusiastic, then, this young lady, I wish you a good time!" β
Li Ziyu also smiled and said, "Borrow the good words of the boss." With that, he walked out of the inn with his younger siblings.
When she was about to go downstairs just now, she told Sister-in-law Lin and Wang Qiuyue that they and their four mothers-in-law stayed at the inn, leaving only Chai Xiaoxue and Xiaoyuer to follow. Xiaoshan, Xiaowen, Xiaowu, and Xiaohu's little servants all followed, and Chai Bin followed with more than a dozen guards, and the group walked out of the inn in a mighty way.
Chai Bin had already prepared the carriage and stopped at the door of the inn. This time on the street, Li Ziyu only asked Chai Bin to prepare a carriage. She took Lan'er, Xiao Yu'er, and Chai Xiaoxue in a carriage, and the rest of them rode horses.
For this trip, Li Ziyu prepared two horses for each car. One is that they can take turns pulling carts, and the other is that they can give their younger brothers a chance to live a game of horseback riding. In fact, each horse in the family is a carefully selected Mongolian horse, although it is not expensive, but the leg strength is long-lasting.
Li Ziyu took Lan'er, Xiaoyu'er, and Chai Xiaoxue into the carriage, and Aonan and Guyun still rode a horse each to protect both sides of the carriage, but the eyes of the two of them never left Huzi. Others didn't pay attention, and Li Ziyu didn't see it in the carriage, but Xiaowen noticed it. He glanced at them with a frown, a warning in his eyes. Ao Nan and Gu Yun reined in a little at this time, and no longer stared at Huzi intently.
So far, Huzi doesn't know his background. Xiaowen is worried that it will not be good for Ao Nan and Guyun to arouse Huzi's suspicion. He didn't want Huzi to be a burden at such a young age. He just wants his younger brother to have a simple and happy childhood, so he feels disgusted by the sometimes excessive behavior of Ao Nan and Gu Yun.
Li Ziyu's carriage turned east along Hankou Street into a relatively spacious Jinchao Road, which was quieter than Hankou Street, and the shops on both sides were made of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and business seemed to be a little sluggish.
The carriage stopped at the mouth of a remote alley, and Ah Quan, who disappeared as soon as he left the inn door, rode over at this time and slowly stopped in front of the carriage. He rolled over and dismounted, and hurried to the carriage. He lowered his voice and said, "Miss, the slave just secretly investigated. This proprietress named Miao Cuihua is from Chaozhou and is said to have been here for seventeen or eighteen years. She lost her husband at an early age, and because she was oppressed by her in-laws in the south, she came to the north to open this family. β
In the carriage, Li Ziyu leaned on the carriage and suddenly smiled, and said, "A widow who has two lives can open an inn here alone, isn't it too capable?" Are the people here so honest? How could a widow be allowed to take root here? Steal their jobs? β
"Miss Yu, this Miao Cuihua is a practitioner, and her skills are quite good. Moreover, the guys in the Ping An Inn are also armed with martial arts, and the people who found fault at the beginning have all returned. Miao Cuihua is also well versed in the balance of officialdom, and in a short period of time, she has easily leveled the different forces of all parties and gained a foothold here. Ah Quan's conscientious report.
"I see. Brother Quan, you send someone to secretly monitor this inn, remember, don't startle the snake. Report any anomalies immediately. Li Ziyu commanded in the car.
"Yes!" Ah Quan promised to arrange it immediately.
Li Ziyu leaned against the carriage and frowned and smiled bitterly, is she too sensitive? Maybe it's an unintentional glance at all, and it doesn't mean anything. However, she is really scared now, especially after learning about Xiaohu's background, she is more careful about this younger brother. I don't know if it's fortunate or unfortunate to be born in the royal family, and if all forces learn that the eldest prince has another prince, I'm afraid there will be disputes again. Don't look at the fact that the fifth prince has been crowned the crown prince now, and the name is justified, it must be the eldest prince.
"Go to Ziming Street!"
Li Ziyu gave an order, the carriage turned into the small alley and drove north, and walked for about thirty minutes to Ziming Street, where Zhang Pozi, a person with a good reputation in Pingzhou, lived. Last night, Ah Quan investigated all the people's teeth in Pingzhou, and Mrs. Zhang was screened out of them.
Li Ziyu deliberately didn't go to the capital to buy it this time, she was afraid that it would be mixed with the chess pieces of other forces, and she didn't want someone to monitor her every move in her own house. She bought someone in Pingzhou this time, but her younger siblings didn't know, and she didn't say anything about anyone, just to prevent someone from sneaking into the house.
Mrs. Zhang's house is in the eastern section of Ziming Street, which is a relatively secluded place. The high courtyard wall, the vermilion gate, and the eaves gatehouse show the extraordinary and solid family background of the owner. Don't underestimate the ancient people's teeth, that is everyone knows the three religions and nine streams, whether it is a high-ranking mansion or an ordinary small household, she can enter, and she is very popular, no one dares to offend.
Li Ziyu took Xiaolan out of the carriage, Xiao Yu'er and Chai Xiaoxue followed closely behind, and Ao Nan and Gu Yun also followed. Xiaoshan took Xiaohu and Xiaowen and Xiaowu also dismounted one after another, handed over the reins to Xiaowu, and followed behind Li Ziyu.
Chai Bin stepped forward and knocked on the door knocker and shouted, "Does anyone have any?" Please open the door! β
"It's coming, it's coming!" With a deep man's voice, a crack opened in the door, and a man in his forties poked his head out. Seeing the posture of Li Ziyu and the others, he hurriedly opened the door completely, and shouted enthusiastically: "Oh, it turns out that a distinguished guest is here, please come inside!" β
Chai Bin didn't rush in and asked the man: "Excuse me, is this Mrs. Zhang's house?" β
"Yes, yes, that's my mother-in-law, miss, young master, you come in, no matter what kind of goods we have here, you are satisfied." The man was afraid that Li Ziyu and the others would leave and lose their good business, so he hurriedly said enthusiastically.
Li Ziyu nodded at Chai Bin, and the group walked into the inner courtyard. As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard a hearty laugh from the front.
"Oh, what kind of fragrant wind is this that blew all the young ladies and young masters over? The old woman is full of brilliance, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, just now the old woman trained the goods, I didn't hear the guests in the front yard coming, and I hope that the young ladies and young masters don't care about the villains. β
