023 Changsheng Liquor Shop
Ji Juan raised her head at this time, as if she had heard something particularly funny, and her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, "Sixteenth Master, why is this so difficult, the falling flowers are ruthless, and the flowing water is intentional?" ”
She smiled at the man in front of her, her eyes were like deep mountains and ancient pools, without any waves.
The man's hand tightened more and more, and the corners of his forehead gradually became blue, and he suddenly moved to the side by his waist and kicked the door with a hook of his long legs.
Ji Wan's back was carved against the door, and when he touched the sore place, he couldn't help but snort softly, this sound was like thunder in the sky/hook/ground fire, Yin Chi lowered his head and covered it.
On the straight back, the weak and soft hands slapped hard, struggling.
"Hmm... Hmmm......"
It took a long time for the man to let go of her, but turned his back.
Ji Juan didn't say a word, and ran out as soon as he opened the door.
The road was smooth, no one dared to stop her, Ji Juan almost fled from the Yin Mansion in a hurry, and after a few steps, an inconspicuous Qingwei carriage stopped a few steps away from her.
"Miss Ji, Childe asked me to pick you up."
Ji Juan hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, smiled and nodded, didn't ask anything, and got into the carriage.
Yuesheng glanced back at the carriage with a worried face, then glanced deeply at Yin Fu, and waved his horsewhip.
In the Qi Mansion, the surroundings were quiet, and Peony brought the medicine into the house, carefully placed it on the small pestle at the head of the bed, and then the cat withdrew.
Childe is in a bad mood, what a gentle person in the past, but last night he sent out a few small people who were not long-eyed.
The door opened again, and this time it was Bai Sheng who came in.
Qi Jia's eyes lit up with a touch of light, and Yuesheng said, "Childe, Miss Ji... It's here. ”
When Ji Juan walked in from outside the door, he almost lost his voice, this is still the same person, but the body is cold, and the darkness in his eyes ...... "You." ”
He opened his mouth, squeezed only one word between his teeth, and could no longer speak.
"Thank you, Young Master Qi."
Ji Juan smiled, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.
"You're welcome." Qi Jia clenched his palms slightly, and his heart was inexplicable.
"I'll come back to take something, take it and leave, if Qi Gongzi has anything to help in the future, just ask."
The corners of Qi Jia's mouth twitched, he didn't do anything, it seemed that he really didn't help much, Ji Juan was so polite, but it made him palpitate.
He still remembered that she smiled with a snack and said that there is not only one unique appearance in this world.
From the first time he saw her, he felt that this girl was not as cheerful as she appeared to be, she seemed to be hiding something, always inadvertently revealing a bitter sadness, and she would never wait for spring to help Su, and there was no way to resolve it.
He wondered what she was hiding, but just as he was about to uncover it, the more violent winter invasion made her heart freeze deeper.
I can't forget the appearance of her raising her head slightly, hiding the stars in her eyes, that is her rare joy.
Suddenly remorse rose in his heart, if he had less scruples to protect her...... Won't the stars disappear?
But no one knows the answer.
"Let's go to the Qi family's grange."
Qi Jia was stunned when he said this.
He is the head of the Qi family, and in the future of the Qi family, hundreds of merchants and tenant farmers in front of him will rely on the Qi family to eat, and he has never had the right to be presumptuous.
But at this moment, he didn't want to think about whether he would offend Yin Chi like this, whether he would bring disaster to the Qi family and set up a great enemy, at this moment, he was like a demon, and there was only one thought in his heart, which was to protect her.
But I've only known each other for dozens of days, how can he have such a deep obsession!
Qi Jia, who has always been strict with himself, realized his heart for the first time.
Could it be that he also thinks about Ji Juan? But reason quickly overcame the chaos of the reins, and he looked up again, and his eyes were already clear.
"Huizhou Yushui Village is the property of the Qi family, 100 miles away from Beijing, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the people are simple, it is a good place, you are good at cooking, and it must not be difficult to make a living by opening a wine shop next to the official road."
Ji Juan did not refuse.
In her current situation, she has no high capital.
She left overnight in a carriage, and she never doubted the power of the Qi family.
This night, in Bianjing City, there were two people who stayed awake all night.
Three months later, on the official road of Yushuizhuang, a small building was erected, and the small building was connected to the courtyard, although it was not too big, but in Yushuizhuang, it could be regarded as magnificent.
"The sign moves west."
"Yes, yes, that's right."
"Girl, look, isn't our wine shop very beautiful, but Qi Gongzi has helped a lot this time."
Ji Juan looked at the plaque with the words "Changsheng Liquor Shop" hanging on the two-story small building, and the corners of his mouth turned slightly.
Yushuizhuang, as Qi Jia said, is a place with beautiful landscapes and simple folk customs, and her busy feet do not touch the ground in the past few months, and she has almost no mental thoughts, which makes her feel much more cheerful.
She calculated that it cost nearly eighty taels of silver to build the wine shop, and she owed Qi Jia one hundred taels of silver for the purchase and sale of furniture.
She plans to slowly save money to pay him back after the restaurant opens.
Although for Qi Jia, this bit of silver is not a matter of concern at all, but to her, it is extremely important, and what should be repaid should not be in arrears.
In the twelfth year of Zhao Guobaixing, on the second day of August, it was a good day for the autumn wind to rise and the golden cinnamon was fragrant, and the Changsheng wine shop opened its doors to welcome guests.
Ji Wan was dressed in a crow blue skirt and a linen apron, standing on the second floor and watching the curious villagers either onlookers or flocking over, laughing and going to the wine shop.
Changqing and the eleven-year-old beggar who temporarily recruited the second child to be the shopkeeper greeted the visitors together, Ji Juan retracted his gaze, quickly returned to the back kitchen, and soon someone ordered the drunken crab in autumn, crab roe buns, and crab leg crisps.
Everything was prepared before dawn, and Ji Wan was able to catch it, and a few dishes took some effort except for the drunken crab, and the others were quickly cooked.
After doing these things, Ji Juan went out to take a look.
In the hall, everyone was looking around, and someone asked about the price of crab leg cakes, and finally just sighed and shook their heads.
Ji Juan suddenly understood that most of the villagers who came today were villagers who heard the wind, and most of them made a living from labor and didn't have much spare money to go to the restaurant.
Thinking of the pot of crabs in the back kitchen, a few days ago with Xiao Qi'er and Changqing to catch together, and thinking of the red marks on Xiao Qi'er and Changqing's hands, she gritted her teeth and said loudly: "Today's store is open for guests, the villagers sit inside, and each table will give a plate of crab meat crisp, and those who see it will have a share!" ”
When the villagers who could only watch dryly heard this, a smile immediately appeared on their tanned faces, thanked them one after another, and said that the proprietress was kind and squeezed into the hall.
At this moment, there was laughter and laughter in the Changsheng wine shop, and everyone was very happy.
The customer who ordered the crab leg cake just now was dissatisfied, so he raised his voice and asked Ji Juan: "Boss, if you want to send it, then how can I count it!" ”
Ji Juan had already thought about it, so he smiled and said, "Of course, it can be regarded as a gift from a small shop to the guest officer!" ”
When he got this, the man laughed loudly, and his laughter was uninhibited: "Then another pot of good wine!" After speaking, he added: "Don't worry about this, count it in mine!" ”
The atmosphere was joyful, and everyone laughed.
Just then, a man came in through the door.
Ji Juan turned his head and asked with a smile: "What does the guest officer eat?" ”
When he saw the person coming, his smile froze.
