Chapter 035 Guilty plea
In Xixiangtang, the money shopkeeper specially called two taels of wine, ordered a plate of peanuts, and stood on the counter alone, leisurely looking at the jokes of Xinxiangtang opposite.
Want to turn over when you have a new Munianhua?
Is it true that they are dead? I don't look at what Xixiangtang has made its fortune in these years.
The money shopkeeper with a wicked smile threw a peanut into his mouth with contempt.
"The shopkeeper's shopkeeper, I just saw that old man Zheng brought his apprentice to Xinxiang Pavilion again!" A shopkeeper came to report the news.
"Master, I've been staring at it all the time! Do you still need to say it? The money shopkeeper glanced at the shopkeeper and said, "Why don't you hurry up and greet the guests for me!" ”
The shopkeeper patted his ass on the hooves and left with a sneer.
The shopkeeper looked out of the door again, and saw the white-haired Zheng Laohan entering the Xinxiang Pavilion with a difficult gait with the support of his apprentice.
Naturally, they came from outside the Yongsheng Gate because they got Mrs. Ye's letter.
As soon as he saw Shi Jinxiu, Zheng Laohan knelt down tremblingly, and the old man burst into tears: "Miss Shi, the little old man is guilty, he failed to take care of the girl's incense recipe, and let those despicable villains in Xixiangtang steal it......"
"Uncle Zheng, I can't blame you for this matter." Shi Jinxiu hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to help the person up, but he didn't think about it, but he was preempted by the young man next to him.
Shi Jinxiu looked at the young man.
He looked to be in his twenties, like Zheng Laohan, with a cloth belt on his head, a coarse cloth robe that was almost unrecognizable, and a pair of black cloth shoes on his feet.
"This is ......" Shi Jinxiu looked at Mrs. Ye, she remembered that Sister Fuxin had said that all the young and strong men in the incense workshop were poached by Xixiangtang, and those who were left behind were some old and frail people.
And the one in front of him obviously does not belong to the elderly and frail.
"His name is Liu Ahe, and he is the apprentice brought up by Uncle Zheng." Mrs. Ye explained with Shi Jinxiu.
Is it just an apprentice?
Shi Jinxiu couldn't help but look at Liu Ahe twice, but he didn't think that Liu Ahe subconsciously lowered his head.
"Uncle Zheng, Mu Nianhua's recipe will be lost if it is lost, there is nothing to be sorry for," Shi Jinxiu said lightly, "Anyway, I have a lot of similar recipes." ”
Shi Jinxiu took out the Mu Nianhua she bought in Xixiangtang: "This incense, the materials they use are better than ours, the portion is more than ours, and the price is lower than ours, so we can't continue to sell it." ”
"So it is imperative that we hurry up and launch new incense products to replace Mu Nianhua." Shi Jinxiu looked at Zheng Laohan with a smile, as if he really didn't take the matter of leaking Mu Nianhua's recipe to heart, "The Xixiangtang on the other side has made such a big fuss, we can't admit defeat, it's just ...... I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Uncle Zheng to make incense overnight. ”
Hearing that Shi Jinxiu didn't blame himself, Zheng Laohan was grateful, and immediately patted his chest and said: "Miss Shi, please rest assured, this time Xiao Lao'er is fighting for this old life, and he will also make new incense." ”
Shi Jinxiu smiled and nodded, and then pretended to be embarrassed: "It's just that which one do we make first?" The taste of daisy is too light, and the taste of rouge is too strong...... can't compete with Mu Nianhua......"
She paced in the Xinxiang Pavilion while breaking her thoughts, as if it was really difficult to choose.
But the eyes of the other people in the room followed her silently, not daring to say a word more, for fear of disturbing her.
"It's better to ...... Let's use 'Crane Longevity'! I don't know how long it took, Shi Jinxiu ran to the bookcase and silently handed a prescription to Zheng Laohan, and then explained very carefully, "This time, you must not let Xixiangtang go again!" ”
Zheng Laohan didn't dare to slack off.
He carefully put away the prescription, and hurriedly left with his apprentice Liu Ahe.
Shi Jinxiu sent the two of them to the door of Xinxiang Pavilion, and when they walked away and were about to turn back to Xinxiang Pavilion, they saw that the money shopkeeper opposite was not only standing outside Xixiang Hall, but also looking at them with his feet.
Shi Jinxiu looked at it, and sneered, and then said goodbye to Mrs. Ye and returned to the Changxing Marquis Mansion.
It's just that I didn't think that as soon as she returned home, she would encounter something troublesome.
Shi Sango, who had been sick for more than half a month due to falling into the water in Zheng Guogong's Mansion, was finally able to get out of bed, so she went out of Lanfang Pavilion with the support of her sister Shi Zhuzhu and went for a walk in the garden of Changxing Hou's Mansion.
The sisters were originally very unhappy when they talked and laughed, but when they saw Shi Jinxiu, Shi Coral was very angry.
She just can't get used to seeing Shi Jinxiu's current appearance.
always has a confident face, as if nothing in this world can make her feel embarrassed.
When did she become like this?
Stone Coral couldn't help but think.
It seems that she rescued Cai Xiang'er and climbed to Zheng Guogong's mansion?
The thought of this makes the stony coral even more hateful.
You know, these should all belong to you! It's all because Shi Jinxiu, a thief, took advantage of the situation and stole it from himself!
"Hehe, some people are really cold!" So Shi Coral suddenly raised his voice and said, "Daddy has been imprisoned in the Zhenfu Division, one still has the heart to run around, and the other can go to the exam with peace of mind!" I really don't know if these people's hearts are made of iron, such hard-hearted. ”
As soon as Shi Jinxiu, who passed by, heard it, he knew that Shi Coral was deliberately saying it to himself.
Unfortunately, she didn't want to pay attention to it, so she pretended not to hear anything and continued to walk.
"Shi Jinxiu! Are you deaf? Stone Coral said angrily, "I talked to you, and you didn't hear? ”
Since she was a child, no one has dared to do this to her.
Shi Jinxiu simply stopped, bent down to pick up a small pebble, and threw it at a quacking bird on the eaves: "You stupid bird, you are crooked all day long, why are you so noisy!" ”
Shi Coral was about to explode on the spot, and he rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush up to fight with Shi Jinxiu.
Fortunately, Shi Zhuzhu on the side grabbed her, and kept persuading Shi Coral not to be as knowledgeable as Shi Jinxiu.
Shi Jinxiu looked at this "gentle and kind" second sister coldly.
She naively thought that this second sister was different from the rest of the third room, but after the last time Cai Xiang'er fell into the water, the two sisters covered each other, Shi Jinxiu also began to look at this second sister differently.
It is said that dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the sons of mice will make holes.
How could the cunning and mean third aunt give birth to a kind and generous child?
Therefore, Shi Jinxiu did not back down, but walked up to the two of them, stared at them and said, "I don't know the fourth sister, do you have any advice?" ”
Don't look at Shi Jinxiu is smaller than them, but thanks to Jane's height, she has grown taller than Shi Coral since she was a child, and when she stood in front of the two, her momentum was not lost at all.
