Chapter 224: Fast Talk

In the midst of these speculations, the carriage drove into Hanlian City.

The Han is much bigger than the jade mantle. Compared with the two cities, it can even be described as magnificent.

The group was supposed to go directly to the dock dock, but on the way here, Kuang Yu had already sent someone to go to the Yunlai Inn in Hanlian City to invest in the store. The shopkeeper read the letter entrusted by the general manager, and did not accept any new customers except for the guests who originally stayed in the store. Sent people to sprinkle and sweep inside and out, divided each room into rooms, smoked each room shallowly, and prepared fruit and pastries in advance.

When the group arrived, the shopkeeper was waiting at the door to greet him with a smile.

He looked to be in his forties, with faint smile lines at the end of his eyes, and was of medium stature with an easy-going appearance.

The shopkeeper's name is Shi Youwei, and his wife and son live with him in the inner courtyard of the inn. The son is famous and a jinshi, and the Shi family and his wife bought a house for their son, and these days they are asking someone to tell him the matchmaker.

Shopkeeper Shi thought that the owner was here to inspect the store, and introduced the situation in the store and the recent business. It's the off-season, and except for a few merchants from the north who came to the store with their personal attendants and guards a month ago, the most people come to stay today.

In addition to Kuang Yu and his entourage, there are two guest rooms in the whole inn, one is to leave this afternoon, and the other will stay until tomorrow.

The attendants who guarded the horses and luggage still lived in bunks. In order to avoid people's eyes, the car was parked one after another, and the inn entered through the side door in the small alley, and did not come out again after entering the shop, and began to rotate and rest.

Their task is simple: to take care of their luggage and avoid further mistakes.

Jianmi, Su Jinyu, Orange Moon sleeps upstairs.

Su Jinyu and Orange Yue were in the room, and Si Huang slept with Jiang Linglong and Kuang Yu.

When she put away her entourage and left the room again, Jiang Linglong noticed that Xue An was missing.

Kuang Yu remained silent, so she didn't ask more. I went downstairs and chatted with the shopkeeper.

Mrs. Shi happened to send the matchmaker away, and she was also downstairs in the hall. Seeing Jiang Linglong coming down, her eyes were stunned, and then they lit up.

It is said that the grandmother of the owner was born with a sinking fish and a goose, and in the past, the owner gave away half of the family business with a wave of his hand in order to marry a beautiful woman. When I saw it today, it was really beautiful and graceful, and his demeanor was thousands. If her son can marry a daughter-in-law with a little bit of grandma and a little bit of beauty, her grandchildren don't know how much more painful they will be.

She thought about it, looked at Jiang Linglong and smiled at her aunt.

Jiang Linglong was also stunned by her, so she simply went over and she said hello and chatted with the couple.

Fortunately, Kuang Yu's divorce did not spread.

One is the credit of Jianmi, and the other is that when the palace was forced to fall, it was also a scandal of the royal family that Liang Yan was dismounted, although Liang Yi'an announced the reason to the world, but also hid a lot of details, so as not to let the people take the Liang family's affairs as a joke, and then discuss it in the streets and alleys.

"The official's shop is on the street in front of the inn, the official grain shop, the largest one in the city, there are two more in the west and north of the city, the store is a little smaller, but it sells the same things. It's just that this family in the city also sells official salt. ”

The official family sells official salt, and it sounds as if the salt is produced by their official family.

"The grain, oil, rice, noodles and salt in our inn are all ordered from the one in the city, and they are close to it, and they send it regularly, which is very convenient." It was Mrs. Shi who spoke.

It seems that the lady is responsible for the purchase of the back kitchen, and the shopkeeper Shi is mainly responsible for the hospitality and welcome of guests in the front hall of the inn.

"Neiko has a straight temperament, and it is just right to manage the inner kitchen." Shi Youwei explained to Jiang Linglong.

"Yes, I speak more straightforwardly, sometimes offend guests, and stay in the kitchen to manage the man and the servant." Mrs. Shi also followed his words with a smile.

The two leaned lightly together, just the distance where others didn't feel tired of seeing it, and the couple could almost sniff each other as soon as they turned their heads.

Hit the spot.

Jiang Linglong invited the two of them to sit down, and told them something about the old couple who saw her waiting for their daughter when she passed by the post station.

After speaking, the two sighed. Just as Kuang Yu took Si Huang downstairs, he heard Shi Youwei sighing and feeling sorry for the two old men.

"Almost everyone in the city knows about this, but I can't help it.

I haven't heard much about the mountain bandits recently.,Some time ago.,Just last month? I heard that they also took a group of women captive. Shi Youwei shook his head, he couldn't bear it, "We don't usually go to the southeast there, and the mountain bandits often haunt there." Fortunately, we were born a son, otherwise we would have been worried all day long. ”

"We Shengqing too, I heard that this matter was sad for a long time, and we secretly went to the outskirts of the city and went to the mountains with Mr. Qiu. He was beaten out with a stick and went home and lay down for several days. Mr. Qiu is kind, and he refuses to let him help find a daughter together. Mrs. Shi sighed, not like she was so distressed that her son was beaten, but worried about Mr. Qiu's family.

Jiang Linglong looked puzzled. Kuang Yu hugged Si Huang to sit on the stool, poured half a cup of tea for Jiang Linglong, and put it in her hand. Shi Youwei hurriedly picked up the teapot and poured tea for Kuang Yu.

"Oh, that's the case," Seeing Jiang Linglong's doubts, Mrs. Shi said, "Mr. Qiu is Mr. Shengqing's private school, and he has been taught since he was a child, and the first thing this kid told when he was admitted to the Jinshi was Mr. Qiu." Even the two of us only found out after he came back after he thanked Mr. Miss Qiu is also familiar with her, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, there is an orphan alley in the south of the city, she often goes to help take care of the children and teach the children, these people in the city almost all know that people are beautiful and kind, and they are like living bodhisattvas. Alas. ”

"I just like people from official families."

Shi Youwei glanced at his wife, and Mrs. Shi immediately knew that she had lost her words again, so she quickly stopped talking, got up and went to the back kitchen to watch.

"Neiko is this kind of character, and there is no room for sand in his heart, but he doesn't mean to say that people are long or short, and the two of you don't have to blame." Shi Youwei explained for her.

"It doesn't matter." Kuang Yu said with a smile, "Neiko too, what she says is bright and right, even if she is allowed to talk about it, it doesn't hurt." He said and glanced at Jiang Linglong, "On the contrary, I think it's funny." ”

"That's it." Jiang Linglong climbed up Kuang Yu's pole, she had too much to know, so she asked Shi Youwei, "Is the official family bad?" Why did Mrs. Shi say this attitude? ”

Shi Youwei shook his head and expressed regret for Qiu Rong.

He wanted to say that the business is mostly about calculating and only looking at money.

But when he thought that his owner was on the side, he felt that it was biased and appropriate to say it, so he didn't say it.

"I heard the second elder say that after Miss Qiu got married, her husband's family treated her very well, and her father-in-law cherished her very much?"

Shi Youwei bowed his head, "The eldest young master really loves Miss Qiu. After speaking, he wanted to speak and stopped.

Jiang Linglong saw that the character of this shopkeeper Shi was different from that of the shopkeeper of the jade mantle.

He is also kind-hearted, but much more cautious, not very accustomed to gossip with others, and tries not to judge others.

Jiang Linglong waited for him to say more.
