Huang Zun's face changed color when he heard this, and he immediately got up and went to the front.

After a while, he sent a guy to pass the word, "Second young master, our big shopkeeper has already called someone to report to the official, presumably the official will come to inspect soon."

He's too busy to take care of you, so if you're involved, please go back first. He will let you know as soon as the details are available. ”

Zhou Shu also knew that it was not appropriate for him to stay here, so he didn't ask anything, and left Jiuhua Building through the back door. Leaving Longjing to inquire about the news, he took Huibai back to the palace.

Long Jing came back soon, "Second Young Master, Jiuhualou has been seized by the government, and Shopkeeper Huang and several cooks have also been arrested. ”

Rao was mentally prepared, but Zhou Shu was still taken aback, "Who is the one who died?" Why did he die in a restaurant? ”

"It's a gentleman surnamed Wu, and his family runs a sesame oil shop." Long Jing replied with a straight look, "It is said that the person died of poisoning, and it seems that the death seems to have been poisoned by arsenic, and it will not be determined until he returns to the Yamen for further autopsy." ”

Zhou Shu knew that this time it was troublesome, the diner died, or he died of poisoning, which was undoubtedly a fatal blow to the restaurant.

Because I didn't know the specific situation and didn't know how to deal with it, I thought about it and asked, "Which yamen took the case?" ”

"It's the government." Long Jing replied.

Zhou Shu breathed a sigh of relief slightly, "It's good if it's the government office, you first bring some silver and go to the cell to make some money, don't make Huang Zun and them suffer, I'll go talk to my father." ”

Long Jing agreed and withdrew.

Zhou Shu sent Hui Bai to inquire, and learned that King Ji'an had just been invited to Jingguo by the Fang family. I was in a hurry, and I didn't care about that much, so I immediately rushed to the backyard.

When King Ji'an saw the Fang clan for the first time, he couldn't help but be stunned.

She dressed up specially today, wearing an apricot yellow full-breasted skirt inside, with an aqua blue half-arm on the outside, a waist seal, and a bun with clouds. It's a little less upright and cold than usual, and a little more delicate and soft. Let him suddenly remember what she looked like when she was a girl.

"Princess, what day is it?" He looked at Fang Clan in surprise, "Why are you ......?"

Dressed like this?

Fang Shi smiled at him, picked up the ginseng tea he had prepared in advance, and handed it to him. He raised his arm again and turned around, "This is still the clothes I wore when I was young, and I saw it when I packed it up today, and I missed it for a while, so I put it on."

What does the prince think? But is there still my style back then? ”

"Hmm." King Ji'an drank two sips of ginseng tea. His eyes lingered on her still slender waist, and there was an unmistakable surprise in his eyes, "When you dress up like this, you look like you're only seventeen or eighteen years old." ”

Fang Shi sneered in his heart, if she hadn't married him, why would she dress up at a young age? He blushed slightly and said, "What did the prince say?" I'm over 30 years old. ”

King Ji'an rarely saw her so delicate, and he couldn't help but feel excited. put down the teacup, walked over and hugged her shoulder, and asked softly, "I haven't come for a long time, but you complain about me?" ”

Fang's family was resentful. But she wouldn't say it, and leaned her head on his chest, "Don't complain, I know that the prince is also difficult in his heart." ”

King Ji'an said this sentence very ironing in his heart, and said with a sigh: "I have indeed wronged you a little over the years, don't worry, one day I will compensate you twice." ”

Fang's heart is full of disdain, there is always a day when it is? He's over fifty years old now, and he'll be useless in another ten years, by then. What's the use of being by her side every day, isn't she still a widow?

Forcibly holding the disgust in his heart, he whispered in his ear: "The prince will compensate me the same now." ”

This explicit hint made King Ji'an uncontrollably swelling his blood. Bent down and picked her up. Strode into the inner chamber.

Hearing the door of the inner room slam shut, Zhang's mother immediately flashed out and took away the tea cup on the table.

Zhou Shu rushed to Jingguo Courtyard, but he was closed.

"The prince and the princess have important matters to discuss, and they ordered them to come down, and no one is allowed to disturb them." Zhang's mother smiled respectfully. The words that came out were not so polite, "If the second young master has something, leave a message, and the slave will help you tell the prince." ”

How can this kind of thing be known to the subordinates, Zhou Shu frowned, "No need, let's talk about it when my father is free." ”

While walking outward, he pondered what important things King Ji'an and the Fang clan could discuss. When I came back to my senses, I found myself standing at the gate of the Blue Courtyard.

Remembering Huang Zun's instructions, he was about to turn around and leave, but Xueqin had already seen him with sharp eyes, and greeted him with joy, "I have seen the second young master, the second young master, you have come at a good time, dinner has been prepared, and the second young lady has just led the three aunts to take a seat."

Go in, and the slave will go to the kitchen and tell them to add two dishes. ”

Zhou Shu hesitated slightly, then nodded, "Okay." ”

Jian Ying didn't expect Zhou Shu to come, and she was a little surprised to see him, so she hurriedly gave up the position of the leader.

Zhou Shuji hung on Huang Zun, and he was not in the mood to chat. In front of Jian Ying, the three aunts didn't dare to be courteous to him, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was a little dull.

Zhou Shu also felt that he had ruined everyone's appetite, and he really didn't have much appetite, so he put down his chopsticks after a few bites and went to the inner study.

Jian Ying saw that he had something in his heart, so she listened to him tell the inside story of the death of the first princess, and she was a little concerned. After eating, he sent away the three aunts, and went to the inner study to look for him.

When he entered the door, he frowned and leaned back in his chair, so he deliberately quipped: "You pretend to be deep and quite like that." ”

Zhou Shu smiled at her words, "Then do you like my deep appearance, or do you like my usual appearance?" ”

"I like the way you give me a gift." Jian Ying stretched out her hands towards him and looked at him expectantly with a wink.

Zhou Shu slapped her hand and said with a smile: "You can't help but be too open-minded, right?" ”

"You don't have anything to open my eyes to but money." Jian Ying wrinkled her nose, jumped up, sat on the desk, and leaned over to look at him, "What's wrong?" Look at your solemn expression, as if you have just attended a funeral. ”

Zhou Shu touched his face, is it so obvious in his heart?

Because it was rare for her to take the initiative to ask about her own affairs, she was a little moved, and she did not hide it, and told her about the poisoning of the diners in Jiuhualou and the arrest of Huang Zun in prison.

If this kind of thing happened in the restaurant, it could only be regarded as Huang Zun's bad luck, and Jian Ying didn't know what to say, so she patted him on the shoulder twice and comforted him dryly: "Don't worry, it's definitely fine." ”

Zhou Shu was inexplicably relieved by her words, and nodded his head, "Hmm." ”

Over there, King Ji'an and the Fang clan had been tossing in bed for some time, how many years had they not had such fun, and they had the illusion that they were still very young. When he was done, he was still lying on the bed and refused to get up.

Fang Shi got rid of his entanglement by washing his body, and as soon as he entered the clean bath room, he asked Zhang's mother, "Is it clean?" ”
