"Where did you find it?" This made the work really efficient, but in one day, he found the thief's residence.

"In a courtyard on the edge of the city, there are a lot of wallpapers, neatly stacked in the yard!" The old butler was also very happy, after all, this was his dereliction of duty, and now that the thief has found it, he doesn't have to worry about it.

"Where is the thief now?"

"At this time, I must still be in the courtyard on the edge of the city." As soon as the thief was found, the messenger sent someone to report to Song Xinshu, and the housekeeper kept reporting to her.

Song Xinshu asked the housekeeper to arrange a fast horse, and it took some effort to climb up, and since she broke her foot, the worried look in Ah Yao's eyes has not disappeared.

"Madame, come down, you are still wounded, how can you ride a horse?"

Song Xinshu was anxious, after all, this was not a simple theft case, it might be related to Su Qing, she couldn't care so much.

Just as Ah Ya was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, the man also turned on his horse and held the reins tightly.

"Since I am now Madame's personal bodyguard, it is my duty to protect Madame's safety." After finishing speaking, he clamped the horse's belly between his feet and left the courtyard with Song Xinshu.

"What's your name?" Although the man sat behind her, his whole body deliberately leaned back, and he did not touch her at all, and when she wanted to talk to him, she realized that she did not know his name.

"Madame just call me Zhou Sheng."

Song Xinshu nodded, Zhou Sheng's voice was dull, and he didn't want to say a word, could it be that people who practice martial arts in this era are like this?

After thinking about it, I had already arrived at the courtyard at the edge of the city, and there were a few officials standing outside, and when they saw Song Xinshu coming, they greeted her one after another.

It's easy to get on the horse and it's hard to get off the horse, Song Xinshu took a lot of effort to get off the horse, and walked straight to the yard, and saw a few wallpaper stacks in the yard, and there was a thin man squatting next to him, she walked in only to find that he was already pale, and the hands on his knees were shaking.

"Madam, see if there is anything missing, when the time comes, I will ask someone to send you to the Subei Tea House, and this little thief will be escorted back to wait for the fate." The messenger walked to Song Xinshu's side and said.

"Wait, I have something to ask."

The envoys all knew that Song Xinshu was Zhang Guodong's goddaughter, so they didn't stop her, and they all retreated to the side, leaving only Zhou Sheng standing beside her.

Song Xinshu looked down at the thin man squatting on the ground, and asked in a deep voice: "Who instructed you to steal things, and who taught you to play this trick?" ”

The man was stunned when he heard this, and Zhou Sheng next to him was also confused, but Song Xinshu did not relax for a moment, staring at the other party tightly.

The man who was originally squatting on the ground slowly stood up, and there was no brilliance in his narrow eyes.

Song Xinshu stared at him tightly, frowned, and added a bit of anger in his voice: "You must know something, don't you?" Say it! ”

The man didn't answer her question, but slowly turned his head to the side, at this time Song Xinshu had already sensed that something was wrong, and before he could make a sound in his throat, he saw the man rush to the wall next to him with all his strength, and hit him hard.

"Hold him up!" Song Xinshu's words were still too late, and Zhou Sheng didn't react to the changes in front of him, and it was too late when he rushed up to grab him.

The man used all his strength, and his body fell softly at the base of the wall, and the dark red blood stains on the brick wall were very dazzling.

The surrounding messengers were also stunned, not knowing what Song Xinshu said to the thief, which would lead to such a result.

The messenger and Zhou Sheng both surrounded him, Zhou Sheng reached out to probe the man's pulse, and then turned back to Song Xinshu and shook his head.

Song Xinshu felt a thin layer of cold sweat oozing from her back, she swallowed nervously, and motioned for Zhou Sheng to return to her side with her eyes.

She took a few steps back and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "You should not know what I said today, you are not allowed to mention it to anyone, the reward will be given to you, if a third person knows, you know the consequences." ”

"Yes." Zhou Sheng nodded and said, he didn't ask more, although he is just a martial arts master on weekdays, but he still understands the rules of accepting money and doing things for others.

The messenger saw Song Xinshu's face with a frightened look, thinking that she was frightened, so he asked Zhou Sheng to send her back to the Northern Jiangsu Tea House, and they would take care of the rest.

Song Xinshu returned to the tea house, still feeling panicked, and sat down and drank a cup of green tea to calm down a little.

Ah Ya ran over, rubbed her shoulders intimately, and said: "Now that the thief has been caught, Mrs. can rest assured, she will definitely teach the thief a good lesson, kill the chicken to show the monkey, and see if anyone dares to fight our tea house in the future." ”

Song Xinshu patted her hand and said: "It may be that we were too ostentatious some time ago, which will attract such a thing, and we will renovate with peace of mind in the next month and wait for the opening." ”

Ah Ya nodded seriously when she listened, in her heart, Madame is omnipotent, and nothing can be done!

This incident became a stone in Song Xinshu's heart, no matter how she comforted herself, she couldn't settle down.

Just when she was thinking about it, she suddenly saw Wu Xiuyuan walking over from the yard with a flower pot in his arms, and stopped him with a shout.

Wu Xiuyuan put down the flower pot in his hand, wiped the sweat on his forehead and ran to her.

"I've already found you a master to practice martial arts, and you will have to practice martial arts with Brother Zhou from tomorrow, and the promises you made to me before must count!"

Wu Xiuyuan nodded seriously, looked at Zhou Sheng, who was tall and tall next to him, with a look of awe in his eyes, and saluted Zhou Sheng.

Zhou Sheng hugged Wu Xiuyuan and said, "You don't have to salute, just practice martial arts seriously." ”

Wu Xiuyuan nodded extremely solemnly, the general and his wife are so good to themselves, they must work hard to learn martial arts from Brother Zhou, and protect their wife well when the time comes!

The next day, Zhou Sheng came to the Subei Tea House early, and saw that Wu Xiuyuan hadn't gotten up yet, so he helped the housekeeper water the flowers in the yard.

"You did a good job in the martial arts hall on weekdays, but now you stay here all day, don't you do the work there?" The housekeeper casually talked to Zhou Sheng.

"You can make money here, but the money from the martial arts hall is too slow." Zhou Sheng half-bent over and carefully poured water on the roots of the plant.

"You are young and you haven't started a family, are you saving money to marry a daughter-in-law?" The butler quipped.

Zhou Sheng smiled and didn't speak, he was not a person who was good at words, he used to work in the martial arts hall, and when he wasn't working, he practiced by himself, and he was very bored, and slowly no one talked to him.

Seeing that he couldn't find a reason, the housekeeper clapped his hands and went to inspect the backyard, leaving Zhou Sheng alone to water the flowers.

"Brother Zhou!" As soon as Wu Xiuyuan got up, he saw Zhou Sheng standing in the yard and hurriedly trotted over. "Brother Zhou, why did you come so early and didn't wake me up, you waited for a long time, right?"

Zhou Sheng put down the kettle in his hand and said to Wu Xiuyuan: "First run thirty laps around the yard." ”

Wu Xiuyuan thought that Brother Zhou would say a few polite words to him, but he didn't expect to arrange a task for him first, but he didn't react for a while.

Zhou Sheng knocked on his head and said, "What are you doing in a daze, run!" ”

Wu Xiuyuan came back to his senses at this time, lifted his pants and began to run around the yard.

Ah Ya also got up, the grandmother in the kitchen has always hurt her, when she got up, she first handed her a big bun with fresh meat to eat, and Ah Ya held the big bun and watched Wu Xiuyuan run while gnawing on it.

When Song Xinshu got up, he saw a strange scene.

Wu Xiuyuan's little face was flushed, and he was panting and running, Zhou Sheng kept urging him to run faster, and Ah Yan was laughing while eating steamed buns as if he was watching the excitement.

Although the weather is still a little cool in the morning, the yard is lively and lively, and it looks like a person's home.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Song Xinshu's thoughts drifted to Su Qing again.

After the events of the past few days, she was more or less afraid in her heart, and now she doesn't know what the intention of the person who came, whether it was for herself or Su Qing, it is unknown now.

What she can do now is to make herself strong and gain a firm foothold in Jinling City.

She not only wants to make her industry bigger in Jinling City, but also to make it bigger, so that she can really help Su Qing at that time.

In the morning, it was time for Wu Xiuyuan to practice martial arts, and after Ah Ya finished eating the buns, he also ran two steps by his side, and made a grimace from time to time.

Song Xinshu's foot injury has not healed yet, just watching the workers decorate the hall, Lu Line is responsible for making furniture according to the drawings she draws, and the housekeeper is responsible for the rest.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner, and the Northern Jiangsu Tea House is also beginning to take shape, and Song Xinshu is actually more willing to soak in the kitchen and develop some desserts and snacks.

She can't just rely on milk tea as the signature of her tea house, and it will lose its attractiveness over time, so she must have more characteristics.

Fortunately, when she lived alone, she liked to learn some small pastries from food bloggers by herself, and she still remembered the general method in her head.

It's just that there are many ingredients in ancient times, and she spent seven days in the kitchen before she developed a few snacks.

After a few snacks were successfully developed, Song Xinshu couldn't wait to call the two children, as well as Zhou Sheng, the housekeeper and Lu Line, a few people sat around the table, and they didn't know what Song Xinshu had called them for.

Song Xinshu was like offering treasures, brought a few snacks, and arranged them exquisitely, looking very appetizing.

"Madam, what is it that is so beautiful and smells so sweet?"

Ah Ya, like Song Xinshu, loves sweets the most, and he has already begun to swallow saliva when he sees these small snacks.
