Chapter 378: Wan Niang
Shao Wanyun walked towards the lively market, and after interrogating passers-by, she finally found Piaoxianglou.
Stepping through the threshold and walking in, it was so lively, it was this hour, and the hall on the first floor was still full of people, and the fragrance of food came to the nose.
The shopkeeper came over with a smile at this time and asked, "Miss, what do you eat?" There is no place on the first floor, and there is still a private room on the second floor, so let's go up and order? ”
Shao Wanyun didn't come to eat, so she immediately asked, "What about your boss?" ”
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, glanced at Shao Wanyun, and asked curiously, "Miss, do you have anything to do with the shopkeeper?" ”
Shao Wanyun didn't want to talk nonsense, after all, it was a little late now, so she said directly: "I'm from the Regent's Mansion, and I want to see the proprietress on important matters, so I'll bother you to make a trip." ”
As soon as the shopkeeper heard the name "Regent's Mansion", his face immediately changed, and he nodded solemnly: "Okay, madam, wait a minute." ”
After a while, the shopkeeper came back and said, "Madam, the shopkeeper asked you to come in." ”
Shao Wanyun followed the shopkeeper into the restaurant, walked through several alleys, and came to a quiet house.
Only then did Shao Wanyun know that there was not only a restaurant here, but also a residence behind the restaurant, which seemed too quiet in the dead of night.
The shopkeeper stopped at this time and said, "Miss, the shopkeeper is inside, you can go in." ”
Shao Wanyun nodded, and the shopkeeper left, seemingly not daring to get too close to this room.
Shao Wanyun was puzzled, could this be a forbidden place?
Shao Wanyun didn't think much about it, went up the steps to the door, and knocked lightly on the door a few times.
A woman's voice came from inside the room: "Come in." ”
Shao Wanyun was a little surprised, she didn't expect it to be a woman, and she shouldn't be too young to listen to the voice.
"Squeak-"
Shao Wanyun pushed the door and entered, and saw a woman sitting on a wooden chair with her back to her, looking at something at the moment, as if it was not a book.
She wore a pale blue satin dress, her hair was held in a bun, and she simply pinned a golden hairpin. At a glance, there was a red jade waist pendant hanging from his waist, and Shao Wanyun immediately recognized that it was a rare purple red jade in the world, although the jade pendant was only the size of half a palm, but it was already valuable.
The woman turned around, and Shao Wanyun saw her face.
Looking at his appearance, he is in his thirties, with a slight powder on his face, and a pair of eyes that move slightly, revealing a quiet light.
The woman also glanced at Shao Wanyun, saw that it was a beauty, pursed her lips and smiled: "On the day of the wedding, the hijab was tightly covered, and I never saw the true face. ”
Shao Wanyun immediately knew that this woman was actually Huo Yuchu's aunt, that is, the regent's brother and sister, why had she never heard of it? Shao Wanyun was taken aback for a while, I'm afraid no one in Zhaojing knows that the regent has a brother and sister who has opened a restaurant in Zhaojing, right?
There are no outsiders here, Shao Wanyun has nothing to hide, and nodded slightly: "My husband asked me to bring you something, and I bother you to accept it." ”
Shao Wanyun handed her the booklet, and the woman was not in a hurry to read it after accepting it, and smiled absently: "There's nothing to worry about, I'm just a person who runs errands for my brother." ”
Brother? It seems that this woman is the regent's sister? Since she is the sister of the regent, why haven't you heard that the royal family has such a person?
Shao Wanyun didn't say much, and asked with a smile: "I don't know how to call you yet?" ”
The woman closed the notebook in her hand, and only now turned her body to face Shao Wanyun, and said very formally: "Everyone else calls me Wanniang, and in the future, you can call me aunt with your nephew." ”
Shao Wanyun smiled slightly and nodded: "Okay, Wanyun has seen her aunt, I didn't know that my husband had an aunt, but it was rude, don't blame it." ”
Wan Niang waved her hand indifferently: "You don't have to say a word about you, where can I afford you to call me that, you are a princess now, I can let you call me an aunt, and I will follow you." ”
These words were flattering, but the expression on Wan Niang's face did not mean any flattery, but was a little disdainful.
Shao Wanyun finished the work for Huo Yuchu, and there was nothing else to do, so she planned to leave: "It's not early, so I won't disturb my aunt to rest." ”
Wan Niang nodded: "Well, next time you come, you don't need to call the shopkeeper, just come here to find me, if I'm not there, you can leave a note and press it under my pillow, no one will come to my place on weekdays." Remember, you don't want to come to this place after that time. ”
Shao Wanyun nodded in response, although she was curious about why she couldn't come after Zishi, but thinking that it might be Wanniang's rules here, she didn't ask much, said a few words of farewell, and turned to leave.
Out of the Piaoxiang Building, walking on the street, Jinxiu said: "Madam, the slave maid will call you a sedan chair." ”
Shao Wanyun shook her head: "Go back, there's nothing to do when you go back anyway." ”
The master and servant walked slowly and chatted, and Jinxiu opened her mouth first: "I think that Wan Niang is not very old, and it is definitely not easy to run the restaurant so well." ”
Shao Wanyun looked aimlessly at the street and replied: "The Regent Mansion can have such a hidden relative, it must not be a simple person, can you see the other jade pendants on her waist?" ”
Jinxiu thought for a while and shook her head: "The slave just looked at her, and she didn't look so closely. ”
Shao Wanyun smiled slightly, very profound: "It is a rare purple red jade in the world, I heard that it is produced in the South China Sea, and it is only a few pieces of finger cover every year, but she has half a big jade pendant in the palm of her hand, and with that piece of purple red jade, she can buy a city in a remote place." ”
When Jinxiu heard this, she was surprised: "So precious?" I saw that the blonde hairpin she wore on her head was not a low-grade product, and the multicolored gems on it were shining. ”
Shao Wanyun sighed heavily: "It seems that this woman is not a poor person. ”
"I think the business of Piaoxianglou is also very good, and with this, you can make a lot of money."
"I'm afraid that this Piaoxianglou is just a trick to fool others, she must have other hidden identities, and she is related to the regent, if she doesn't have some ability, do you think Ah Guild will let her do business in Zhaojing?"
Jinxiu thought about it carefully, nodded in agreement: "Well, Madam is right. The slave and maid looked at her before she saw you, and that calm and unfazed look is that she has seen the world, otherwise ordinary people must be attentive to it. ”
For the rest, Shao Wanyun didn't say anything more.
