Chapter 58: Confusion
Before Ye Jinyu came here, he deliberately told Qiu Yue where he was, but only brought Jasmine out.
I didn't come to Juxianglou to eat, but to find the shopkeeper, whether it was Ye Jinyu or the guys from Juxianglou, it was the first time.
The guy in the restaurant was very strange: "Girl, you said that you came to find our shopkeeper, but you can't tell which shopkeeper, you make me very embarrassed." ”
Jasmine was a little anxious, Ye Jinyu only explained that he wanted to find the shopkeeper before going out, and he really didn't explain which shopkeeper it was, how is this Juxianglou different from other places, are there so many shopkeepers?
"Little brother, take a look at this, let the shopkeeper who recognizes this thing come to see our young lady." Jasmine had no choice but to take out a picture that Ye Jinyu gave her and asked Xiao Er to take it to the shopkeeper.
When I returned to the room, I saw Ye Jinyu eating leisurely, and there was no worry on her face, which made Jasmine very incomprehensible.
"Sit."
Jasmine can speak to her own young lady, from the initial surprise to the current indifference, for the young lady to let herself sit down, Jasmine hesitated.
"Do you know why I brought you out alone?"
"The slave doesn't know."
"You're an official slave, I'm not wrong, right?" Ye Jinyu picked up a peanut and looked at it carefully.
Ye Jinyu's voice was rough and ugly, but in Jasmine's ears, it was terrifying.
"I don't know why you appeared in our mansion, and who gave me your deed of sale, but your status as an official slave happened to make me understand that you will be sincere to me."
Jasmine hurriedly knelt down: "Yes, Miss, the slave and maid will definitely be heartfelt to you, there is nothing wrong with the slave being an official slave, but the slave and maid stay in the Ye family and have no ill will towards the Ye family." ”
"Oh?"
Jasmine saw that Ye Jinyu didn't believe it, so she had to continue; "Miss, the slave maid was originally the daughter of the county order, my father was framed, the exile of the old and young in the family, the degraded were degraded, and I was sent to the Ye family for only a few days."
"Who sent you?" Ye Jinyu asked.
"Slaves and maids don't know, they only let slaves and maids do their duty, if what the slaves and maids do satisfies the master, perhaps, the case of the slave and maid's family has a chance to overturn the case." Jasmine knelt and moved in front of Ye Jinyu.
grabbed Ye Jinyu's skirt: "Miss, if there is half a lie in what the slave and maid say, the sky will thunder and thunder, and it will not be a good death." ”
Ye Jinyu saw that Jasmine's appearance didn't look like she was lying, she was very afraid of being driven away, besides, if that person wanted to stuff a fine work by her side, such a means was too high.
has a deed of sale, plus her identity is an official slave, and she has no future, plus she used to be a young lady, she must be very good in upbringing, and finally give some hope.
Don't worry that she won't work willingly for herself.
I'm not afraid that she will sell her lord for glory.
I just don't know who the person who sent Jasmine to her is.
"Get up, sit down, you are also a young lady, and servility should not be so heavy." Ye Jinyu ordered the table and asked her to sit down.
This is the second time she has been asked to sit down, and Ye Jinyu's patience is not enough.
After the ups and downs of her life, Jasmine had already developed a pair of fiery eyes, and after touching Ye Jinyu's emotions thoroughly, and after gaining her trust, she hurriedly sat down.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
Pushing the door in was an old man, and the old man was accompanied by a young man, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but with a pair of very shrewd eyes.
The old man waved at her.
"Miss."
Ye Jinyu was taken aback, no matter who this old man was, such an old man saluted himself, it would really cost her life, and he hurriedly got up and was blessed.
Jasmine hurriedly followed behind her, blessed and asked, "Who are you?" ”
The old man smiled and took out a key from his sleeve, Ye Jinyu saw that this key was much smaller than the key in his hand, and the middle of this key was solid, and the one in his hand was hollow in the middle.
Jasmine hurriedly took out the key they had brought, and as soon as the two of them were paired, the old man became excited.
"Found it, sure enough."
For the excitement of the old man, the two young people looked very surprised and looked at each other.
The old man was excited for a moment, and then slowly explained: "I have followed the owner for more than 30 years, and when I was old, I encountered a disaster, and the owner knew that it was difficult to avoid, so many people in the family, plus our guys and our family, there were too many, so the owner wanted to break the entire family property into zero." ”
Ye Jinyu looked puzzled.
On the contrary, the young people around him wondered: "How to break it into parts?" ”
"We four brothers with different surnames followed the owner, so the owner divided the family property into five, ordered someone to build five keys, and scattered the family property everywhere, thinking that one day we could recognize each other with the keys. Even if we ourselves can't wait for someone with the keys to bring us together, our children and grandchildren will have to wait, generation after generation. ”
Ye Jinyu couldn't help but think, this property is not necessarily a lot, and it is so troublesome, divided into five? Then, the share in his grandfather's hand, I'm afraid that as a dowry for his mother, the Ye family will squander it.
Also, how did my grandfather think that his guys would not be greedy for those possessions.
"Miss, can you give me the key?" The old man stretched out his hand towards Ye Jinyu.
Jasmine saw Ye Jinyu nodding, and then put the key in the old man's hand.
The old man stuffed his key in the center of Ye Jinyu's key, and sure enough, he closed it, and the old man was very excited: "By the way, you are the descendant of our host." ”
"Your owner, can you call Leng Aotian?"
"That's right, our owner is called Leng Aotian, I remember, our owner has two daughters, two young masters, ......"
Ye Jinyu shook his head: "My grandfather only has one daughter, my mother. ”
When the old man heard this, he stumbled for a moment, and there was an unbearable sense of sadness: "Only one? ”
"Yes, but I heard my mother say that she has an older sister and two older brothers, but it's just ......" Ye Jinyu shook her head, every time her mother said this, she would cry silently, and she simply stopped asking later.
The old man didn't want to ask anymore, when the Leng family encountered a catastrophe, it was already a bodhisattva's blessing to be able to escape: "I'm sorry for you, child." ”
Ye Jinyu shook his head.
The old man continued; "You can't just find me, you have to find all five keys before you can open the silver deposited in Tongfu Qianzhuang."
Ye Jinyu was puzzled.
"That's right, at the beginning, the owner converted all the property into cash and deposited it in Tongfu Qianzhuang, and this key was the only way to get the silver ticket. Oh, one of our brothers is the owner of Tongfu Qian Zhuang. ”
Ye Jinyu was overjoyed.
The old man continued: "Our Juxiang Building is actually your Leng family's property. ”
This is another surprise, why didn't her father take out the key before she got married? The sign on the signboard of this Juxiang Building is so obvious that it is the same as the sign on the key, will Dad not see it?
The old man patted the young man beside him and continued to say to Ye Jinyu: "Miss, before you find all the five keys, Juxianglou will not be yours, and Tongfu Qianzhuang will naturally be the same. ”
Ye Jinyu nodded, indicating that he understood.
The old man continued; "This one is my grandson, Zhang Guxin, he may be a few years older than you, now I am in a semi-retired state, in the future, he will cooperate with Miss. Even if you don't get all the keys, Juxiang Lou, you can take 20% of the bonus. ”
Ye Jinyu took the opportunity to glance at Jasmine, and saw that her demeanor was natural, and she did not show half of her greed, and her heart was slightly relieved.
Jasmine can be used.
Ye Jinyu bowed his head and smiled at the old man: "How should I call you?" ”
The old man patted his forehead at this time: "Miss, don't blame, I'm really happy, I finally don't have to guard these yellow and white things in the grave, and finally have the opportunity to return to the Leng family, I forgot to introduce myself, my surname is Zhang, my single name is Hao, Miss can call me Lao Zhang." ”
"Grandpa Zhang."
Lao Zhang waved his hand: "Miss is too polite, our Zhang family is a descendant of the Leng family, you grandfather, I am really ashamed." ”
Ye Jinyu shook his head: "Grandpa Zhang, just ask you not to be moved by those yellow and white things, and do your best to guard the key in your hand, I should call you grandpa." ”
Zhang Hao had no choice but to nod: "Then I will dare to take your honorific title." ”
Ye Jinyu blessed his body.
Zhang Hao touched his goatee, his face full of relief.
"Miss, do you want to try the food in our Juxianglou? Then we will bring you the account books of the restaurant in the past few months, so that you can have a good number. ”
Ye Jinyu nodded and agreed to Zhang Hao's arrangement.
She began to think that Juxianglou was not a small restaurant, he could be called the most high-end place in the whole of Kyoto, and the annual dividend was probably terrifyingly high.
The ancestors and grandchildren of the Zhang family gave it to her so directly, first, the wealth left by her grandfather was very scary, and second, the ancestors and grandchildren of the Zhang family were testing her.
No matter what, Ye Jinyu decided to cover it up.
After a while, a table full of dishes was served, all of which were the signature dishes of the restaurant, and Ye Jinyu asked Jasmine to sit down and eat together.
After just a few bites, Jasmine frowned: "This Dongpo meat is not authentic, too greasy, and this eight-treasure dish is missing a treasure, and this braised fish, I think they call it Fish Leaping Dragon Gate, but what about Dragon Gate?" ”
Ye Jinyu found out that the dishes on this table are all short catties and missing two, either less or less. made her guess about her own talent a little more certain.
I don't know if this is what Old Man Zhang meant, or what Sun Tzu meant.
Ye Jinyu motioned to Jasmine not to make a noise, open her belly to eat, and when she was full, the man brought up the account book.
Seeing that there was really such a thing as an account book, Ye Jinyu took it, turned a few pages a little, closed it again, dipped a little water and wrote on the table: "The account book is fake, ask Zhang Shaodong's family to come over." ”
Jasmine saw that the guy looked confused, obviously couldn't read, and hurriedly told the guy the truth.
The guy nodded and quickly invited Zhang Guxin over.
After letting Jasmine go out and leaving the two of them in the room, Ye Jinyu slowly spoke: "You don't want to give me 20% of the restaurant's dividends, and you don't want Grandpa Zhang to know, I want to know the reason." ”
Zhang Guxin didn't seem to expect Ye Jinyu to say so simply, he also restrained the smirk on his face, and stared at her with disdain: "Because you are not worthy, why should my grandfather share the wealth accumulated by his own hands, Juxianglou did not use a copper plate of your Leng family, I don't agree to give you dividends." ”
Ye Jinyu smiled; "Reasonable."
The silver in his hand flew again, and anyone was afraid that he would not be able to be calm, but Ye Jinyu was indifferent.
Zhang Guxin looked at her for a moment, and saw that her expression was natural, and he was not reluctant for half a point, and his good impression of her increased by a few points.
Speaking of which, he is not really reluctant to give up that bit of silver, but he is unwilling. Because his grandfather was not worth it, he worked hard for half his life, and the family property he had accumulated had to be given away so much.
