Chapter 40: An Unexpected Encounter
Cheng Kee shops have two floors on the street, with tourists coming and going, and the restaurant diagonally opposite is doing a brisk business, which will inevitably bring a flow of customers. Yurui suddenly had confidence in her heart.
When she returned to the store, she saw a young man busy and asked, "Shopkeeper, is he there?" ”
"Shopkeeper?" The man was white, a little shy, and replied softly: "There is no shopkeeper here." ”
"No?"
"Well, this shop has been redeemed, and the shopkeeper has quit his job and left," the man said, "The owner asked me to hold on for a while, and when the new owner comes, I should also leave." ”
"This shop was exchanged for two thousand silver?"
"Almost, the owner is going back to his hometown, and he is in a hurry to sell it without much discussion." The man glanced at her, "Madam, that's all I can say, you can go to another house and ask." ”
"May I ask, who took it?" Yurui was a little unwilling. The storefront on the street, out of the main street, the location is excellent.
"The proprietor of the Emerald Residence," the man said in a low voice, "the people directly brought the silver, and our proprietor didn't say anything about the promise."
Lou Yurui thought about it and asked again: "Behind the shop, is there a courtyard?" ”
"There is a small courtyard, which is only vacant, and there is no other use!"
Lou Yurui left Cheng Ji and wandered around the East Market for a long time, but she didn't find a suitable shop.
There are many people on the street, and the fragrant fragrance wafting from the food shops attracts the attention of tourists, making people's taste buds tremble, and no one can resist the temptation of this delicacy.
Yu Rui found a food shop to go in and asked for a few plates of special snacks, and she thought about some things she had missed in her previous life while eating.
That night, the prince's mansion was set on fire, why did the prince Yuanchen disappear, and where did he go? Lu Shaoli followed the prince closely, why didn't she pay attention to this person at that time?
Cui Liuju is really a wonderful existence. It is said that the proprietor Shirakawa is good at calculation, and he is good at collecting money, and he is quite talented as Tao Zhugong.
She still knew about Cui Liuju from Lu Shaoli. Lu Shaoli has a close relationship with Bai Chuan, the owner of Cui Liuju. Lu Shaoli entered the East Palace and was quite appreciated by the crown prince Yuanchen. Lu Shaoli also has a personal relationship with Fei Chi, Yu Rui has seen it with his own eyes, Lu Shaoli met Fei Chi in private, and the two have a great relationship.
Is there any conspiracy or insidious work here?
Yu Rui thought about virtue and was in a trance.
A few girls walked past the shop talking and laughing.
Yurui raised her eyes, it was already the time to hold the lamp, and the night market on the street began, and after a while, the lights were bright, and it was already prosperous.
Lou Yurui got up and hired a sedan chair to return to Lou Guogong's mansion.
As soon as she returned home, Ah Man greeted her, "Miss Rui, you are back, Madame has been worried for a while." Come quickly, and come with me to Madame. ”
Mrs. Wen was really surprised to learn that she had left the house by herself. She was worried that if she encountered something again, there would not even be a person around her to report the news, and Mrs. only blamed Ah Man, why didn't she let people follow.
"Madam, Miss Rui is back," Gu Aman brought the intact Jade Rui to the Wen family.
Wen glanced at her, "I know that you are bold and do not believe in evil, thinking that at the feet of the Son of Heaven, in the important land of Gyeonggi, there will be no mistakes,...... The more prosperous, the uglier the thing, the less visible. ”
Her bitter words are like a mother's worries about her children.
Yu Rui was a little moved, lowered her eyes and said, "Yes, Yu Rui understands." ”
"You, I guess you are also unconvinced," Wen Sichun sighed, and said: "If something happens in the future, don't stand up by yourself." You only said that you are the cousin of the Dingguo Mansion, and people are afraid of the Guogong Mansion, and they will also give you some face. ”
"Can I call myself Miss Cousin?" Yu Rui was a little surprised, bowed her head and said, "This, some trespassing." ”
"Silly boy, why are you thinking about so much?" Wen's eyes flashed, and his face was peaceful, "This is specially instructed by Grandpa Guo!" ”
"Yes!"
Yu Rui only felt that there was something flickering in Wen's eyes, was she accused by Lou Guogong? She didn't dare to think, let alone ask, she just hung her head, more and more respectful.
Wen Shi looked at her worried look, and he couldn't say anything, "After watching it for a day today, you are also tired, go back and rest early!" ”
"Yes, ma'am!"
was not scolded by Mrs., Yurui was lucky, and wanted to go to Grandpa Guo to say goodbye, but she was afraid of being disturbed by the old man. The next day, she had something to do, so she rested early.
On the second day, Yu Rui did not dress up as a middle-aged woman, dressed neatly, and took Aman out of the house together.
Gu Aman didn't dare to let her go out again. When Yurui leaves the house, Ah Man must follow, and promise not to say much, not to learn the tongue, and not to chew the root of the ear. Yurui had no choice but to take her with her.
They took the carriage and stopped diagonally opposite the "Cui Liuju".
Cui Liuju is this square courtyard, the courtyard is very wide, three deep, shops plus courtyard, the front yard is two floors, covering an area of more than 1,000 zhang. From the upper floor, you can enjoy a great view of the market.
The prayer flags are fluttering, the porch is carved and the beams are very magnificent, the carved railings are painted, and the gilt decoration is gilded, and the aura has been put into full effort.
There are many people in and out of the courtyard.
The lintel of the front door is golden, I don't know if it's real gold or something else, it looks extraordinary, luxurious enough.
Yurui stood on the street and looked up, "The terrain here is good, the location is good, and the circulation is also good." It's really worthy of being one of the best in the capital. ”
"Girl, it's one of the best?" Aman grew up in the capital, and in his impression, there is no such shop in the top five.
"You don't know, in less than a year, it will be." Yu Rui smiled.
"Girl, can you still tell the future? Do you have what it takes? Ah Man was a little surprised, and his face was powerful.
"I don't know divination." Yurui was thinking about what words to use, but she couldn't tell her that she was born again.
"Well,...... Look at a person's face, look at this thing, it also has a number of qi. ”
Yu Rui's heart moved, "For example, Guiguzi, can he know five hundred years before and after, is he called divination?" He also looked at that qi number. ”
"Oh, when the girl was in the mountains, she learned some Qimen Dunjia techniques, right?" Aman suddenly realized.
"Uh,...... This, almost. ”
She doesn't ask questions, so it's okay to understand it like this.
Yu Rui walked forward slowly, and suddenly, a person came out of Cui Liu's residence, and Yu Rui looked at it and was shocked.
How could it be him?
"Hey, isn't this the commander of the city defense battalion?"
Fei Chi, Ah Man has also seen it a few times.
"Could it be that this commander also does business?"
"Well, it's not necessarily business, but it's an important thing."
Lou Yurui stopped and turned around, "I suddenly don't want to go in, let's go!" ”
"Huh? …… It's all here, why don't you come in? "Ah Man was puzzled.
"There's a nasty guy who suddenly loses interest!"
