Chapter 42: Downfall
"That's it, don't worry about him, I'm a little hungry, let's find a random place to eat." The housekeeper nodded, and followed Chen Shimei's team to a noodle restaurant.
He smelled the fragrance of this noodle restaurant not far from the alley, and was very curious, looking at the housekeeper on the side and saying, "Why haven't I seen a noodle shop here before?" β
The housekeeper stepped forward to take a look, Bai Ashuo saw Chen Shimei, his eyes widened, and he immediately stepped forward like a dog, and said, "Brother-in-law!" β
Chen Shimei, who was called by her brother-in-law, immediately changed her face, and the housekeeper on the side glanced at him up and down between the two, and said: "Who are you, so unruly, this is today's concubine, what brother-in-law, be careful to pull out your tongue!" β
When Bai Ashuo heard this, he covered his mouth in horror, and a pair of eyes gurgled and rolled.
Chen Shimei looked at no one around, and no one should have heard her, so she patted the butler's shoulder, and the butler was willing to get out of the way. Chen Shimei knew Bai Ashuo, he used to work in the Horse Mansion, but later he was afraid that this guy would publicize his affairs, so he blew him away, and later he became a ruffian hooligan, and he hadn't seen each other for a while.
"Why did you come here today? It can't be my cousin, right? Bai Ashuo still had naΓ―ve thoughts, thinking that Chen Shimei still had a trace of affection for her cousin.
He really didn't dare to imagine that a person could be ruthless to such a point, Chen Shimei's face fell, and she said curiously: "What did you say?" This noodle shop is owned by your cousin? β
Bai Ashuo nodded like pounding garlic and said: "Yes, this noodle restaurant is opened by my cousin, I will help her check the door here, and I can get a lot of money a month, by the way, do you want to go in and taste it, the noodles here are fragrant!" β
The shock on Bai Shimei's face has long been indescribable in words, looking at the housekeeper on the side, he suddenly smiled gently, and said, "I don't like noodles, why don't you sit with me in another restaurant?" β
Bai Ashuo said that when he heard that his cousin-in-law was going to invite him to dinner, he was so happy that he couldn't find Bei, so he quickly wiped his hands and said, "Okay, but I have to tell my cousin first!" β
Chen Shimei hurriedly stopped him and said, "You tell your cousin, but you can't say that I took you to the restaurant for dinner." Bai Ashuo nodded, said a word to Bai Susu, and followed him to the largest restaurant in the county.
There are all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas here, and most people can't afford to eat them. Bai Ashuo looked at the recipe, and all the hooks were drawn, and Xiao Er looked at him with disgust, looking at it like a dirt bun who had never seen the world.
However, this son in ink-colored clothes was decent and generous, Chen Shimei picked up the tea on the side and rinsed his mouth, looked at Bai Ashuo and said, "How long has that noodle restaurant been open?" β
Bai Ashuo's eyes rolled and he said, "It's been more than a month, I haven't seen anyone for more than a month, this business is very good." β
He also had to admire her cousin's clever mind, the guests never stopped, and if she continued like this, she would probably be able to defeat the whole street!
Chen Shimei listened to his boasting and didn't seem to make it up, and couldn't help muttering in her heart, he knew this woman very well, and she had never had any opinions, how could she suddenly change as if she was a different person.
can't help but often go in and out of Agarwood Academy, have some dealings with Mr. Ji, and open a noodle restaurant and cake by himself, so he doesn't have any clues.
Although this Bai Ashuo is missing a string, he is not stupid, knowing that Chen Shimei asked him what he was doing with these things, after all the abalone in the mountains was served, he didn't care about holding chopsticks, and directly took the conch and gnawed it, and the eating appearance was extremely ugly.
The butler had to endure his disgust and pour him wine, he had never served such a dirt bun! Chen Shimei looked at him, eating extremely happily, so she smiled and said, "How is it?" Ah Shuo, the food in this restaurant tastes good, right? β
Bai Ashuo nodded like pounded garlic and said: "It's really fragrant, I have never been to such a high-end place to eat in my life, cousin-in-law, you will often bring me in the future!" As soon as the words fell, the butler's face changed to show him.
Bai Ashuo knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly silenced himself and ate it by himself.
Chen Shimei gave the housekeeper on the side a look and told him not to meddle in his affairs, so he pretended to be gentle and gentle, looked at him and said, "Ah Shuo, brother-in-law has something to ask you." β
"Say, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help you." Bai Ashuo said, while gobbling up pig's trotters, Chen Shimei frowned, the disgust in her eyes flashed, and she suddenly laughed easily.
Said slowly: "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that I want to ask what is the relationship between your cousin and Mr. Ji from the Agarwood Academy, and the relationship is so close?" β
Bai Ashuo almost choked when he heard this, so he quickly helped his chest and said, "What did you say about Mr. Ji?" Mr. Ji seems to have gone home to show my uncle last time, but I didn't expect him to know how to heal, this Mr. Ji, he really knows astronomy and geography, and he doesn't know anything! β
Whether it is the capital or the county, they all know that Ji Shuxuan is such a number one person, and he has been given the title of prodigy, but it is a pity that he did not enter the court as an official, which makes the big guy feel a little sighing.
Chen Shimei wanted to win him over to be his adviser, but he didn't expect this Ji Shu Xuan to eat soft or hard, Chen Shimei thought for a while, and saw that Bai Ashuo was still gobbling up, and couldn't help frowning, this guy is afraid that he will be reincarnated by a starving ghost, right?
Thinking about it, he suddenly sighed and said, "Brother-in-law has something I want you to do for me." Bai Ashuo lowered his head and said, "Anyway, what else are the two of us seeing?" β
Chen Shimei looked at the housekeeper beside him, and the housekeeper took out a stack of silver tickets and put them on the table.
Bai Ashuo's eyes slowly widened, looking at Chen Shimei in front of him, Chen Shimei opened the folding fan, the corners of his mouth hooked up a wicked smile, and said: "These silver coins are regarded as your labor expenses, you help me keep an eye on the two of them, and tell me every move, including what your cousin plans are in the future." β
Bai Ashuo gave him a strange look, I don't know why he still knows his cousin's information, the two of them have no feelings, what are they doing so much.
But it's not something he, a person who only knows how to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, can figure it out.
Anyway, nothing can be against money, seeing those silver tickets, he quickly hugged them in his arms, stared at him and said: "I didn't expect my cousin-in-law to be so generous, so much money I don't know how much food I can eat in this restaurant!" β
