Chapter 244: Jufu Building
After taking the two buns, Sun Qingqing ate them very naturally. The steaming buns dispelled the chill of waiting for someone in the pavilion last night.
She quickly wiped out the two buns, but as she walked, she couldn't help but look at some of the people walking on the side of the street.
After waiting in the pavilion for so long yesterday, Sun Qingqing didn't wait for Fang Fei to come over, and intuitively felt that something might have happened to them.
She couldn't wait, so she re-entered from the outskirts of the city to look for it. But Sun Qingqing searched for nearly a morning but didn't find Li Shengshu, nor did he see Fang Fei.
Sun Qingqing also went to some of the rudders of the Shifting Flower Palace in the capital, but they all said that they had not seen Fang Fei and Fang Yao, and there was no news of them at all.
Everything seems to have disappeared into thin air.
But Sun Qingqing knew that it might be that they had encountered difficulties in the palace, or something had happened.
When this bad premonition surfaced, Sun Qingqing immediately sent his own people and those people from the Flower Shifting Palace to find a way to find out the news in the palace.
After making these preparations, Sun Qingqing was ready to go and see the shops in the capital. According to the information she received, Zheng Qing has not come back yet, and she doesn't know how these shops are doing now.
Thinking like this, Sun Qingqing went to the nearest grain store first. The gate of the grain store was tightly closed, and the gate that was once bustling was now full of people.
Even if three or two pedestrians pass by the door, they will spit on the inside of the grain store, seemingly very disdainful.
And Sun Qingqing watched this pedestrian make such a move, and he was puzzled, and he didn't have time to think about it at all, so he quickly grabbed this person and asked suspiciously: "This big brother, why is this grain store closed?" ”
Looking at Sun Qingqing's appearance as a woman from a good family, the man thought that she was just here to buy food, so he persuaded her: "Anyway, old sister, don't buy food here in the future, because their rice is poisonous!" ”
Sun Qingqing was shocked by what this man said, and then realized one thing.
It turns out that after the last incident in Beichuan, these grain stores that donated grain before have also suffered. I'm afraid that in the hearts of those people, these things are really poisonous and cannot be sold.
Sun Qingqing bowed his head, and waited until the middle-aged man left, then he took a detour to the backyard of the grain store and knocked lightly on the door of the backyard.
There was a knock on the door, but no one answered.
Sun Qingqing thought about it, and then said softly and politely: "I'm not here to condemn your grain store, but I just want to talk to the steward about something." ”
Her attitude was polite and her tone was calm.
These words made people feel a lot more good in their hearts and let go of some of their guards. Some of the people who were secretly observing saw her, and after a while, the door opened, and there was a loud "crunch" sound.
The door only opened a small crack, and the steward poked his head out from the side, and his expression was still faintly vigilant: "This girl, may I ask what is the matter with you?" ”
Sun Qingqing smiled slightly, didn't say anything, just took out a jade pendant from his body.
The jade pendant is crystal clear, and it is not something that ordinary people can usually have. But on this jade pendant, there is a word "Qing".
Seeing this jade pendant, the steward's eyes immediately changed.
He first checked the neighborhood left and right, and then opened all the doors and whispered, "Come in quickly." ”
Sun Qingqing raised his eyebrows slightly, knowing why he did this, he didn't ask, just dodged and entered the room.
As soon as he stood firm in the room, the steward immediately said loudly: "Miss Sun, you are here, I waited for you so hard." Our grain store may really not be able to open, now, what should we do? ”
His voice was so loud that Sun Qingqing had to frown slightly and press his temples.
But it is indeed reasonable for the steward to have such a big reaction. Because this time the matter is very big, the credibility among the people is almost gone, which is a very fatal thing for a business shop.
Sun Qingqing's expression was calm, and her tone was unconsciously gentle: "Don't worry, since I'm here, I'm here to solve the problem." ”
"In this case, you should first contact some government offices and other more prestigious restaurants and grain stores, and see if any of them are willing to speak for us."
Soon, Sun Qingqing gave a solution.
Her expression and attitude were very calm, which made the steward of the six gods and no master gradually calm down.
After saying this method, Sun Qingqing pondered for a while, and immediately gave another solution: "Also, you personally bring some people to visit some old customers who can speak among the people, and see if they are willing to speak for us." ”
Both of these methods are aimed at restoring the credibility of the grain store. Now, no matter how panicked it is, there is only something to do quickly to save it.
The steward also had the backbone, and suddenly stopped thinking nonsense, and hurriedly sent someone to do it.
But it is not destined to be very simple.
And when they heard that this grain store had something to do with King Rui and the eldest prince, those officials immediately vetoed the intention of cooperating with them.
You must know that now is the critical time of the struggle for imperial power, so as long as anything involves power, they will avoid it. In fact, these difficulties are already predictable.
But what people didn't expect was that the owner of Jufulou, a very famous restaurant in the capital, was willing to speak for them. After learning the news, Sun Qingqing immediately seized this opportunity.
She immediately asked the steward to talk to the owner of Jufu Building.
Although only one is willing to speak for them now, it is a good start. Therefore, Sun Qingqing's heart is now much more relaxed.
When Sun Qingqing's side was slowly getting better, he was in the palace over there.
Near the dungeon is a small wood. Although there are not many trees, they are all tall and leafy.
Han Ling Cheng is now hiding in this wood. He crouched on one of the trees, his movements were so light that he didn't make any sound at all.
And under the cover of these leaves, he secretly looked in the direction of the prison over there. I saw a wave of guards in front of the prison, constantly walking back and forth to prevent any suspicious people from entering.
In fact, it is not very difficult to get through these guards and enter the dungeon. After looking closely, Han Lingcheng jumped down from the tree. The movement was so light that not even a leaf fell.
And Han Lingcheng threw out a stone at this time. The stones fell, attracting the attention of some people. And it was by taking advantage of this short attention time that Han Lingcheng had already entered from the heavenly prison.
The guards in the heavenly prison were heavily guarded, but with Han Lingcheng's superb martial arts, evading these guards was still a relatively easy thing for him.
He soon found Fang Fei, who was locked up in the innermost.
Fang Fei is actually relatively easy to recognize, just that extremely bewitching face is unforgettable, but when he found him, he was leaning against the wall and closing his eyes to recuperate.
It seems that nothing is wrong, but looking at the extremely pale lips shows that he actually has internal injuries, but he is now recuperating well.
When he came, Han Lingcheng had been observing the guards of the Heavenly Prison, thinking if there was any way to quickly escape from these Heavenly Prisons with people, but he didn't expect it.
It should be impossible to escape with Fang Fei today.
However, Fang Fei is fine now, and Han Lingcheng can also go back and think about how to create a perfect rescue plan to save Fang Fei.
After making up his mind, Han Lingcheng easily walked out of the prison again, looking at Fang Fei who was still with her eyes closed, the corners of her mouth slightly hooked.
However, what Han Lingcheng didn't notice was that when he left, Fang Fei also opened his eyes at the same time, with a little thoughtfulness in his eyes.
The next day.
The cooperation with Jufulou was actually discussed very smoothly, so that Jufulou was ready to speak for them today.
There are usually a lot of guests in Jufu Building, and the same is true today. But all the guests who come today will be told one thing.
Most of the grain in Jufu Building is purchased from the Dingfeng Grain Store.
When this news came out, many diners were scared away, and when they left, they cursed: "Why didn't you tell me before?" ”
"I'll never come to your restaurant again!"
"What a bad!"
Almost every diner who came by was shocked when they were told the news, and quickly left Jufu Building.
But there were still a handful of diners left. Some of them believe in Dingfeng Grain Store, but more of them have no concept of this matter.
The shopkeeper's expression was a little ugly, he turned his head to look at his boss, and called out: "Boss, look at this ......"
But the proprietor of Jufu Building just smiled lightly, and then raised his hand, and instructed the shopkeeper lightly: "Give discounts to these guests who stay, and treat them better." ”
As for the attitude of the boss, these shopkeepers were also very helpless, so they had to agree, and they had an unusually good attitude towards those customers.
And then, because of the news from Jufu Building, the business of Jufu Building today is much bleaker, and there are not many customers at all.
Although Sun Qingqing was not in Jufu Building, he also paid attention to the situation here all the time, and also wanted to see the reaction of the people.
However, the results obtained are not good.
Sun Qingqing had expected it a long time ago, but she was not too discouraged, but because their business in Jufulou had deteriorated, this made Sun Qingqing a little unhappy.
She felt guilty in her heart, and then she brought some good things and came to Jufu Building in person.
When the proprietor of Jufu Lou heard that she was coming, he sent someone to respectfully welcome her to the private room on the second floor, and ordered someone to cook a lot of dishes.
There are many colors, flavors, and varieties.
Standing next to so many delicious dishes, Sun Qingqing was excellent for the first time and didn't want to stay any longer. She tried to raise a smile, "Boss Zhang, let's forget it, I won't eat here with you." ”
"It's okay." The proprietor smiled kindly, as if he had a point: "The ingredients in the kitchen are also broken, and they can't be wasted." ”
Hearing this, the guilt in Sun Qingqing's heart was even worse. She gritted her teeth and finally said what was in her heart: "Boss, in fact, you don't have to be like this. If you help us to cause you trouble, you don't have to speak for us. ”
Although Sun Qingqing wants to let Dingfeng Grain Store get through this difficulty quickly, but now for her, she still can't do things with her conscience.
The proprietor of Jufu Mansion seemed to have expected her to say this, but he didn't have the slightest surprise on his face, but smiled, and even denied her proposal: "It's okay, you just need to relax." ”
Sun Qingqing was still uneasy in her heart.
In fact, everyone knows who the people behind the Dingfeng Grain Store are, including the owner of the Jufu Building in front of them.
But he knew who he was, and now he was willing to help her like this. For a while, Sun Qingqing didn't know how to repay him.
After thinking about it, she still said solemnly: "No, I can't let you suffer such a loss in vain." ”
Sun Qingqing's eyes were clear, and the look in her eyes was even more determined: "Let me compensate for the loss of your restaurant." ”
When the owner of Jufulou heard her words, he looked stunned. Then he looked at the clarity in Sun Qingqing's eyes, and finally agreed.
