Chapter 449: Xianglian Returns Home?
The war on the grassland broke out again, and the emperor ordered the true king to set off for Youzhou City on the same day.
Song Yi's original plan was also completely disrupted. The patient was in turmoil, and finally sent the true king away. Song Yi also fell into a situation of worry and fear, and completely forgot to pay attention to Xianglian.
Xianglian also seems to be very self-contained, which also paralyzes Song Yi to some extent. thought that Xianglian would not be able to completely take down Zhu Youci so quickly.
But where did Song Yi think that Xianglian had already left a back hand.
She took away the three birds that were blown down by the wind in the garden of the True Palace, just to let Zhu Youci take the initiative to find her. In this way, they can avoid everyone and contact them privately.
Actually, Xianglian doesn't know much about Zhu Youci. At that time, she only had a simple communication with Zhu Youci, and felt that Zhu Youci was very different from ordinary children. That's why I found an excuse to try it. It can be said that Xianglian herself did not expect that she would be able to abduct Zhu Youci so smoothly.
After Xianglian returned from the Zhenwang Mansion, she bought a birdcage in the market and spread a layer of soft cotton wool in the birdcage. She was very attentive to taking care of the three little birds brought back from the True King's Mansion, not because she was loving, but because she was waiting for Zhu Youci to come to her to visit the three little birds.
But the next day, when Xianglian was anxiously waiting in Mengdiezhuang, she didn't wait for Zhu Youci to come to the store to find her.
Shopkeeper Han was in the "general manager's office" on the second floor, looking at Xianglian who was very uneasy downstairs through the window. Although the princess didn't say it explicitly, Shopkeeper Han felt that the princess arranged Xianglian in Mengdiezhuang in order to let herself help keep an eye on Xianglian. So, when there was nothing to do, Shopkeeper Han paid great attention to Xianglian's behavior.
Since Xianglian came to Mengdiezhuang, she has to go out of the store almost every day, and sometimes even go for most of the day. Although Shopkeeper Han didn't ask, he was also very curious, what was Xianglian going out so often for? Shopkeeper Han even suspected that Xianglian had a concubine in Kyoto, otherwise, he couldn't explain what a young widow was doing when she went out frequently.
Shopkeeper Han also tentatively mentioned Xianglian's matter in front of the princess, but the princess's performance made Shopkeeper Han a little uncertain. The princess didn't seem surprised that Xianglian was not doing her job, and she didn't show much interest in listening to Han's suspicions.
Although the princess didn't ask for it, Shopkeeper Han still felt that he had an obligation to ensure that Xianglian didn't cause trouble during her stay in Mengdiezhuang.
On this day, Shopkeeper Han saw Xianglian at the counter very consciously, staring at the guests who came in from time to time, as if he was waiting for someone.
Others were also very curious about how Mrs. Chen suddenly became so active and serious in her work. In the past, it was very rare to see this Mrs. Chen appear at the counter in the store.
"You see, this Mrs. Chen, why did she suddenly change her sex today, and she stood at the door as soon as she came this morning and didn't leave. I just went to change shifts, and she won't let me."
"yes. I entered the store in the morning and was shocked when I saw her. I thought I hadn't woken up in the morning, and I was dazzled. When I looked closely, it turned out to be her. ”
The guys in Mengdiezhuang are very high-spirited these days, and as Mengdiezhuang becomes more and more famous, the business in the store is also increasing, and the "commission" of these guys is also rising. When it came time to pay their salaries, these people couldn't keep their mouths shut.
Everyone wants to be rewarded, especially financially, and they don't care about working harder. If it weren't for the mandatory two shifts in the store, many people would have been in the store for 12 hours a day.
Because Yumetsuso is not like other shops, there will be customers at night. Moreover, there are many customers who only enter the store to consume at night when there are few people. And often these people are some wealthy families. knows the truth that wealth is not exposed, so, on the contrary, they spend a lot and tip generously. Therefore, Song Yi was originally worried that if he continued to open the store at night, there would be no buddies willing to come to work.
But who would have thought that under the misfortune, when some guests with their own concerns chose to visit at night, the guys of Mengdiezhuang also saw business opportunities. Nowadays, many people take the initiative to do errands at night. Although the income at night is not as stable as during the day, it is not certain that one day you will be able to step on shit and meet a rich man. In addition, not only is the sales commission higher at night, but the basic working hour wage is also higher than during the day. In this way, a night is sometimes more profitable than a day.
Shopkeeper Han also saw the guy in the store pointing at Xianglian upstairs, so he came out of the room, stared at the gossiping guy all the way, and slowly walked towards the counter.
Xianglian didn't know what was going on, she had made an appointment with Zhu Youci, could it be that she was discovered by the princess and didn't let Zhu Youci come out? Or is the princess still doubting herself? Xianglian was thinking wildly, and she didn't see Shopkeeper Han walking towards her at all.
"Mrs. Chen, you have also been coming to Mengdiezhuang for a few days. I haven't asked you yet, have you gotten used to it lately? Shopkeeper Han looked at Xianglian and asked.
Xianglian knew that Shopkeeper Han was the real princess's person, so these days, she also deliberately avoided him. In the past, the two did not interfere with the river water and did not speak. Now, Shopkeeper Han took the initiative to ask herself, and Xianglian couldn't find a reason to refuse. I could only smile, looked at Shopkeeper Han and said, "Shopkeeper Han, I'm just a part-time worker." What could be so bad? Although Mengdiezhuang is just a ready-to-wear shop, the business is so prosperous, and I also get a lot of wages. I don't dare to have any more grievances. ”
Xianglian's words, although they were ostensibly praising Mengdiezhuang's good business, Shopkeeper Han still heard the dissatisfaction in her words.
Shopkeeper Han knew that Xianglian wanted to return to the princess, but the princess put it in Mengdiezhuang. It is conceivable that Xianglian will have resistance to herself. Therefore, Shopkeeper Han was not surprised that Xianglian would speak to herself like this.
However, maybe, Xianglian will be able to do what she wishes soon. Shopkeeper Han was also considering whether to tell her, "Mrs. Chen, I know that you have always wanted to leave me and return to the True Palace, serving by the princess's side. However, I don't think you need to be in a hurry, it shouldn't be long. The princess will let you out of here."
The words of the shopkeeper Han made Xianglian puzzled. "Shopkeeper Han, what do you mean by that? What do you mean the princess told me to leave here soon? ”
"There are some things that you'll soon find out anyway. I won't hide it from you, I heard that there is another war in the north."
"What does it matter to me to fight in the north?" Xianglian didn't understand the connection.
"There was a war in the north, and the emperor ordered the true king to oversee the army. Yesterday I already made a decree in the court, and I should be going to leave soon."
