When the shopkeeper Tong came in, Yao directly beckoned him to sit down and said, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" Let's sit down and have a bite to eat. ”

I didn't have any thoughts, but Yao said it, and it was not easy to refuse. Sitting down according to the words, the shopkeeper Tong stopped talking, picked up the chopsticks, put the food in his mouth, and chewed it slowly.

is just compared with Song Qian's appearance, as if the two of them are eating something that is not the same thing at all.

One is eating bran vegetables, and the other is enjoying the delicacies of the mountains and seas.

Yao watched every move of the shopkeeper Tong and asked him, "Is there anything bothering?" It's the first time I've seen you react like this in years. ”

In Yao's heart, the shopkeeper Tong has always been calm, and even if he encounters something, he will not be as flustered as others. On the contrary, most of the time it was he who persuaded Yao.

But he is calm and bold.

Just like this cooperation with the Liu family, he tried his best to promote it because he was confident that he could bring a new way out to Huaxi Pavilion. So even if he knew that he was not satisfied, he could persevere, and finally convince himself.

As for the trust in the shopkeeper Tong, it has also been gradually accumulated over the years.

At the beginning here, Fengxiang Building can be said to be in the limelight, if it weren't for his livelihood and means, Huaxi Pavilion would not have made a fortune in just one year, and these years would not have been so smooth.

However, there is now a trend of decline, and only change can be made.

is such a person, how can Yao not feel strange when he actually saw such a reaction in him?

Shopkeeper Tong swallowed the food in his mouth and slowly put down his chopsticks. As if organizing language, after a while I said, "I heard something on the way." ”

Yao didn't speak, waiting for Shopkeeper Tong to continue.

Shopkeeper Tong breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued: "It's about Lin Xiaowan." On the way, I heard that she had another lawsuit. This time, someone came to sue her. ”

"Sister Xiaowan? Sue her for what? Song Qing asked.

She was so outspoken that she forgot for a moment what the occasion was. Even if Wang Qing wanted to remind her, it was too late, so she could only warn her with her eyes.

Yao didn't think there was anything, but it was just strange, this kind of thing could make Shopkeeper Tong panic?

It doesn't make sense.

"What's going on?" Yao asked.

"It's still about her ointment. When I was on the way, I heard that someone had ruined his face by applying ointment, so he went to the county office. Shopkeeper Tong paused, and then continued, "But this shouldn't have anything to do with Lin Xiaowan." Master Jiang found out that the ointment used by that person was not owned by Lin Xiaowan. ”

"So what's the problem?" Yao asked puzzled.

Although they don't know Liu Cui's affairs very clearly, they still know a little. What's more, Lin Xiaowan also mentioned this matter in court last time, and Lin Xiaowan's ointment Zheng Qiankun has also examined it, so there will be no problem.

The shopkeeper Tong's frowning brows couldn't be resolved, and he said, "The ointment is fine, but the person who sued her has a problem." ”

"On the way here, I saw the young lady of the Xin Family Medical Center with a woman, and along the way, someone pointed at her and said that the woman slandered a good person and deserved to be ruined. I took a special look as I passed by......"

"And then?" If he was a little frizzy by the shopkeeper Tong's panting, he urged, "Can you finish all the words at once!" ”

The other three also stopped, waiting for the next step from Shopkeeper Tong, looking a little nervous.

There's no way, the protagonist is Lin Xiaowan, and I'm still a little worried.

For Wang Qing and Song Qing, the Liu family is very good to them, and Lin Xiaowan is also enthusiastic, so she naturally has some feelings, and it is inevitable to worry.

As for Song Qian...... She was thinking in her head: Lin Xiaowan can't have an accident, otherwise she won't be able to eat the delicious dishes she cooks.

The world of foodies is so unreasonable.

was stared at by four people, the corner of the shopkeeper Tong's mouth twitched, and because of Yao's family, he could only finish his words in one go.

"If I'm not mistaken, that person is Minglan ." The shopkeeper Tong said, seeing Yao's eyes glaring slightly, he hurriedly said, "It's Minglan on the Yong'an Hou Mansion." So I guess that Lin Xiaowan's situation this time is very likely to be related to Mrs. Yong'an Hou. ”

"Lao Tong, be cautious." Yao said in shock.

Mrs. Yong'an Hou really did something to Lin Xiaowan? Is there really a must......

She looked at the shopkeeper Tong in disbelief and asked, "What you said is true?" ”

Shopkeeper Tong nodded: "It's true!" ”

Yao fell silent for a moment. Shopkeeper Tong saw it in his eyes for a long time before he said: "I'm worried now that Mrs. Yong'an Hou really won't let Lin Xiaowan go easily, and in the end, the fire will burn to Huaxi Pavilion, or burn to you." ”

"Indeed...... Although I had been worried before, I really didn't think that it would really be like this......" Yao's face instantly had a sad expression. If Mrs. Yong'an Hou really intends to rectify Lin Xiaowan, then she will be implicated.

Soap is much more enticing than ointment.

But what about worrying? Could it be that you can still go to Mrs. Yong'an Hou to reason? Or will she fight for it when she launches an offensive?

As long as she uses some connections, there will always be a lot of trouble. Yao didn't want to go that far, but it seemed that he had to.

Shopkeeper Tong comforted and said: "Mrs. Yong'an Hou shouldn't do too much. After all, your identity is not comparable to Lin Xiaowan, even if it is suppressed, it will not be too much. Lin Xiaowan is different, even if she is killed and buried, there will be nothing at all in the end. ”

"If the county order of this county government is not Jiang Tingyuan, Lin Xiaowan is afraid that she has already been imprisoned, right?" Yao said thoughtfully.

"It should be." The shopkeeper Tong said, "I also heard that at the beginning, Master Jiang was not there, and later the master was always in the hall, and he wanted to torture Lin Xiaowan, and he planned to make a beating." ”

"Does he know Minglan ?" Yao was surprised. Minglan is not the maid next to Mrs. Yong'an Hou, and she has never left the house. If it weren't for this to visit the shopkeeper Tong and follow, he would definitely not have seen Minglan back.

"I don't know." Shopkeeper Tong shook his head, and then guessed: "Maybe Mrs. Yong'an Hou said hello earlier?" ”

"Then why is Jiang Tingyuan not in the hall?" Yao asked again.

"I don't know." Shopkeeper Tong still shook his head.

Yao stopped talking, thinking about something. Shopkeeper Tong also frowned and was stunned. Wang Qing and Song Qing also had a little anxiety and helplessness on their faces.

The anxious thing is that they are worried that Lin Xiaowan will have an accident, in that case, how sad should the Liu family be?

Helplessly, she is an ordinary embroiderer, and she can't help at all.

Song Qian, on the other hand, was cautious by this oppressive atmosphere, slowly stretched out her chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, and then quietly put them in her mouth, not daring to make a sound.

Wang Qing glared at her, suppressed her voice and said, "Song Qian! You still have the heart to eat! ”

Song Qian defended: "Don't eat too much waste, so many dishes, these are all made by others' hard work, and we must respect the labor of others." ”

If you want to eat, you just say you want to eat, why do you have such a high-sounding reason.

After the tea time, Yao retracted his thoughts. Noticing that several people were looking at her, a smile appeared on her face, and she said, "Okay, eat, eat!" Don't get cold when you're cooking. ”

However, no one moved.

In the end, it was Yao who ordered: "Hurry up and eat!" Why, you don't even listen to me? ”

Song Qian and the three of them feasted happily. Yao looked at the three of them and instructed, "You shouldn't have heard what you said just now, just think about how to do the things that are explained to you well, you know?" ”

"Well, yes, ma'am."

The three of them agreed, and then concentrated on eating.

After that, Yao said to the shopkeeper Tong: "Don't think too much, it's just speculation." This is all a distant worry, it is impossible to say, as long as the current things are done well, even if the soap trade cannot be done at that time, Huaxi Pavilion will not be affected much. ”

"Well, I'll do everything well lately, you can rest assured." Shopkeeper Tong said confidently, "I can't guess what will happen to Mrs. Yong'an Hou, but with Mrs. you mediating in front, I naturally won't be so worried." ”

"Speaking of which, how are things going in the store?" Yao asked.

"Something went wrong, but I've got them trying to figure it out." Shopkeeper Tong thought for a moment before saying, "But I didn't tell them what to do this time." I thought, if I have a rare opportunity, I can also exercise them. I can't keep looking at this shop, someone will have to replace me in the future. ”

Yao Shi was displeased: "What to say! How old are you that you don't want to do it for me so early? ”

"It's not ......," shopkeeper Tong shook his head.

"Someone can't be poaching you, right?" Yao's face was full of worry, and he said, "I can tell you, Lao Tong, if someone really poachs you, you have to tell me." Even if you decide to leave, you have to tell me in advance. ”

"What do you say, ma'am? Didn't I rely on your appreciation all these years to get to where I am today? I'm not going to leave Huaxi Pavilion. Shopkeeper Tong hurriedly defended, for fear that the Yao family would think too much and misunderstand.

Yao Shi said quietly: "It seems that someone is really digging you...... Don't hide it from me, which one is it? ”

Shopkeeper Tong hesitated for a moment before he said the names of a few shops. There are those in Qinghe County, Yulin County, and Linchuan Prefecture...... There are even more above. All of them are given very generous treatment.

Yao asked him, "Are you really not tempted?" ”

"Moved." Shopkeeper Tong said bluntly, "But I haven't moved the mind to leave." ”

The gloom on Yao's face finally dissipated, and he smiled and said to the shopkeeper Tong: "Then what are you talking about finding someone to replace you?" ”

"I'm old, and I can't do it for long, so I have to plan ahead." Shopkeeper Tong said helplessly.

The years are urging people to grow old.

The shopkeeper Tong said: "At this age, I can see that I am a little older every day. I don't have enough energy, so I have to pull up one or two people while I can still do it. ”

"Anyone?" Yao asked.

"After this small problem, it should be settled." The shopkeeper replied.

Then he said, "So, if there is nothing else to do, Madame, I will have to go back later." You have to keep an eye on the point to avoid going wrong. ”

Now Huaxi Pavilion, there can be no other accidents.
