Chapter 433: Camera Obscura
"Lord Zou......"
On rainy days, there is no light in the study, only the light in the room is dim due to the light through the wooden lattice and gauze windows.
Behind the screen in the study, there was a figure standing against the backlight, because of many contacts, even so, Zou Yu still recognized him at a glance.
"How is Ling Gongzi doing?"
The person who came was Ling Yu's personal servant Ali, Zou Yu asked casually.
"Childe is fine, thank you Lord Zou for your concern."
Ali stepped out of the shadows.
"Is that Liang Fei dead again?"
The sound of rain outside the window became louder, and looking at the rain left under the eaves, the two people in the house were silent for a while.
"Hmm."
After a long pause, Zou Yu spit out a word.
"They've been getting tougher lately."
Ali said.
"This Liang Fei, originally they were sent to try to spoil your activities on March 3, but I didn't expect there to be such a stubble in the middle, those people saw him arrested and put in prison, but they still didn't dispel the idea of stinking you, just gave them the opportunity to do their tricks again, this time, as soon as Liang Fei died, your reputation ...... again"
Zou Yu looked out the window and did not answer.
"Actually, on the day the list was released, it was this person who led a group of people to trouble Zou Gongzi."
Seeing that Zou Yu was listening, Ali continued.
Zou Yu moved his gaze back to the room, with a hint of disbelief on his face. That incident, he always thought that Zou Youheng was nonsense, but he didn't expect it to be the plan of those people.
"So, their premeditation. Much earlier than we knew. ”
Ali smiled.
"But Lord Zou, you don't have to worry, Liang Fei's matter has already been dealt with, and when the time comes, just like Gu Xiaoshu before, just find someone who is almost charged with a similar crime and sentence him to exile."
The rain became heavier and heavier, mixed with strong winds, which blew a few hibiscus flowers in the yard to the ground, and the petals of the prickly plum fell to the ground, and the branches swayed non-stop.
"It seems. This rain storm. I can't stop for a while. ”
With his hands behind his back, looking at the scene outside the house, Zou Yu said lightly.
*
Originally, I thought that after Liang Feihui was restored, there would be a second public trial. But he waited for the news that he had been sentenced to exile. This made Ye Xiaoyu somewhat disappointed. Anyway, she was also the one who was stabbed. It's the victim, and if the verdict is pronounced on such a big matter, it won't be forgotten if others don't notify it. How can you not inform her?
But sometimes the government does things so quickly, and when Ye Xiaoyu went to the yamen to ask what was going on, he was told that Liang Fei had been taken away.
Well, since that's the case, then she doesn't have anything to say. I just always felt that something was wrong with this. However, that Liang Fei's behavior was so bad, and he was sentenced to exile, which can be regarded as getting the punishment he deserved.
After Ye Xiaoyu's adjustment last time, the business of the shop has become hot again. It's just that it's summer, in order to reduce the damage to food, no matter how hot the business is, no matter how many customers there are, Ye Xiaoyu still tells the guys every day not to do too much at one time.
In the autumn, Ye Xiaoyu counted the money in the zài money bank and decided to open a third shop in Rongzhou City.
Although the food and drinks sold by the shops are very popular with the people in the city, people's spending power is fixed, and if several of the same shops are opened in a row on the same street, it is equivalent to diverting the number of customers, and the daily turnover will definitely be reduced. Originally, her shop was the product of a small business, and if it appeared too many times on a street, it was unknown whether the business would be good or not, but it would definitely cause aesthetic fatigue.
Based on the above considerations, Ye Xiaoyu decided to open the third shop on South Street in Rongzhou.
South Street is located in the south of Rongzhou City, and unlike the bustling East Street, South Street is relatively few restaurants and restaurants because it specializes in selling bulk items. In fact, if the pastry shop is opened there, the business is definitely not as good as East Street, and it is not even as good as West Street, but Ye Xiaoyu has taken a fancy to the fact that there are not many shops selling food there, and the things in her shop are simple and easy to carry, and the price is not high, maybe it can attract those moving workers who go out early and return late and businessmen from all walks of life.
With the experience of opening a shop in the previous two times, the progress of Ye Xiaoyu's shop has become smoother this time. Determining the location, negotiating the rent, making the contract, and hiring someone to decorate, the series that she was anxious about was originally engaged in, but after accumulating enough experience, she was able to come easily this time.
However, the so-called "shun lì" refers to the fact that when dealing with various things in a new shop, it will not be as messy as the first time. In fact, although the progress was smooth, the back and forth for more than a month still made Ye Xiaoyu lose weight.
During this time, Wang Huaiqing happened to go back to the pharmacy in Yuejing to buy medicinal materials, so Ye Xiaoyu became a person again. There was someone hanging around all day, and now it was suddenly gone, which made her a little unaccustomed, but this unaccustomed was soon diluted by her running around and preparing for a new shop.

"You ran out just after the township test, aren't you afraid that your father will serve you directly?"
In the box on the second floor of a teahouse at Dongjiekou, Zhou Ming was looking at Zou Youheng, who was sitting opposite drinking tea, with a malicious expression.
"What is the law of the family? I've already finished my exams, so I'm going to have to give me some time to catch my breath. ”
Zou Youheng took a sip of tea and replied angrily.
In the past few months, he has been about to be suffocated, and he finally survived until the end of the exam, no matter how he said it, he had to run out and treat himself.
"Alas, but during this time, the two of us are not having a good time."
Zhou Ming said, glancing at Lin Zucheng, who had been silent.
"Will you both have a hard time? You can't just go too far and kill someone, right? ”
In addition to this, Zou Youheng couldn't think of any other days that would make these two little overlords unhappy.
"Go! Stop talking nonsense for me, can you have something normal in your head? ”
Zhou Ming was about to smash the cup in his hand at Zou Youheng.
"What the hell is going on?"
Zou Youheng laughed.
“…… My dad wants to say goodbye to me. ”
Zhou Ming hesitated for a long time before he said it.
"Hahaha......"
Hearing this, Zou Youheng couldn't help laughing.
"I thought it was a big deal. It turns out that it's just this little thing, I said Zhou Ming, you can't bear it too much, right? Haha......"
"Eh, Zu Cheng, do you say that this person is like this for this little thing......"
After Zou Youheng laughed, he found that Lin Zucheng had been sitting there without speaking, so he turned his head and said to him.
But with a smile, he felt that something was wrong. Those two people. Not only did he not smile, but he also looked at himself with an iron face.
Isn't it just a kiss?
As for the face blackened like this, and two people blackened their faces at the same time?
"I said—didn't you?"
Zou Youheng suddenly thought of a very strict question.
"It's just that Zhou Ming was said to be a kiss, but Zu Cheng, you are also so sad. Could it be...... You two ......"
looked at the two of them with questioning faces. Zou Youheng used his fingers to gesture back and forth between Zhou Ming and Lin Zucheng.
"--You two aren't going to hide from me, are you?"
"Zou Youheng. You don't talk nonsense! ”
Zhou Ming picked up the chopsticks on the table and threw them directly at Zou Youheng's body.
"Well, since that's not the reason. What the hell is going on with the death of you two? ”
Zou Youheng's shoulders were crooked, and he flexibly dodged the chopsticks.
"You don't know that the two of us are being kissed by the same person."
Zhou Ming's face was speechless.
"What?!"
Zou Youheng was stunned for a moment, and then began to laugh again.
"Hahaha......"
Although it is a bit unkind to think like this, today is simply the happiest day he has had in months.
"Then it would be nice for the two of you to have a martial arts duel or something, whoever wins will get the beauty."
After speaking, Zou Youheng couldn't help laughing again.
"Who's going to compete for this?!"
Lin Zucheng, who had been silent, really couldn't stand Zou Youheng's laughter, and said angrily.
"And what are you two going to do?"
After enduring it for a long time, Zou Youheng barely suppressed his laughter.
"Could it be that the two of you want to have two men serve one woman?"
Zou Youheng felt that he was simply overwitted today.
"I don't know anything else, but I think it's imperative for both of us to get rid of you right now."
Zhou Ming looked at Zou Youheng who was holding back a smile with a dark face.
"Okay, okay, I'm not smiling, let's get down to business. Which woman is so blessed to be favored by your two families? ”
Seeing that the faces of the two were getting more and more ugly, Zou Youheng stopped laughing at the right time.
Although the Lin family and the Zhou family are not official eunuchs, they are both big families in Rongzhou City, and the girls who can be favored by these two families will definitely not be far behind.
"The owner of the pastry shop."
Zhou Ming said angrily.
"What?! The owner of the pastry shop? Impossible, right? ”
Zou Youheng looked incredulous.
There are so many pastry shops in this city, how can the two of them look at a small family like this.
Is it particularly good-looking?
"Have you seen the woman?"
"Nope. However, listening to the description of the family, I found out that the two of us were actually the same person. ”
Lin Zucheng took a sip of tea depressedly.
"All pastry shops?"
Zou Youheng asked.
"yes."
Lin Zucheng picked up the cup again, but this time he directly poured a whole cup of tea into it.
"But there don't seem to be many female bosses who open pastry shops in this city, and if you want to pick out the good-looking ones, then even less, right?"
Zou Youheng was puzzled.
"This city is so big, and you don't have one by one to check it out, how do you know that there isn't?"
Lin Zucheng retorted.
"yes, and I'm not sure if it's a gesture or not."
Zhou Ming added.
"Since you're not sure about anything, where did you two come from to say that the object of your marriage is the same person?"
The more Zou Youheng talked, the more speechless he was for these two people.
"Woman, an outsider, has opened several pastry shops in the city."
"When my family told us, they all used these words."
Looking at the two of them singing together, Zou Youheng couldn't help but want to laugh again. But this time, he was very kind to hold back. (To be continued......)
