Chapter 17: Madame is mighty
Jing Yan has always gotten up early, and when she went to the main courtyard to greet the eldest princess of Huiyang, she saw that she sighed and had no intention of eating, and there were signs of talking about family affairs, so she simply turned around and went out to her favorite Baiji dim sum shop to buy a few freshly baked pastries.
He had something in mind, and strode out with a snack, just when he heard the little girl behind him calling him happily, and when he turned his head to look back, he let a little girl bump into his arms.
Jing Yan frowned, and was about to avoid the side, when he saw two huge pearls pinned to the little girl's bun, much like the pair that Yu Shuo had forcibly begged from his booty.
After a few more glances, he recognized that the furry head belonged to Yu Shuo's sister.
Thinking that Yu Shuo said that his sister was timid, and then looked at the maid on the side and was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak, Jing Yan softened his expression, didn't have a cold face anymore, and asked in a voice that he thought was kind, "Is there anything wrong with you?" ”
Who knew what the little girl in front of her didn't know what she had heard, her face turned pale with fright, and she hurriedly waved her hand and shouted at him: "Forgive me, good man!" I didn't mean to, I'll walk carefully in the future! ”
After she finished speaking, she picked up the collar of the little girl, shouted "Peach Branch, go", and ran into the store as if she had escaped desperately.
Chang Xi, the little guy behind Jing Yan, seemed to be used to this kind of thing, and there was no surprise on his face, so he stepped forward and said, "Master, let's go, you see that the guests outside have gone around to other homes." ”
Jing Yan saw that several people were obviously planning to enter Baiji, and when they saw him standing at the door, they turned around and went to the next door. The resentful gaze of the shopkeeper behind him fell on his back, like a silent send-off.
He glanced at Chang Xi, threw the snack in his hand to him, and walked away.

"My mother, my heart is about to jump out! Girl, did you hear him ask, 'But something'?" Momozhi exaggeratedly lowered her voice, and learned a man's tone in a rough voice.
"Oh my God, it's clearly threatening us! If you dare to say something, I doubt he will, click! Momozhi stretched out his hand and made a motion to wipe his neck, and he was so frightened that he couldn't help but shudder.
Yu Can's little heart was pounding, and he was scared twice when he saw this person, although he really didn't do anything, but just standing like that, his eyes swept over the person, and he could be so frightened that he couldn't raise his head.
[The girl is less daring than me, so scared that she can't speak, like a little mouse!] 】
"Taozhi," Yu Can glanced at her speechlessly, leaned into her ear and whispered, "Can't you think of me better?" "If you're a little mouse, can't you say she's like a little rabbit?
"......" forgot that the girl could hear it! Momoeda smiled awkwardly, turned away from her, and pretended to be happy to see all kinds of pastries. "Oh, look how delicate these pastries are, girl, let's have some of them!"
The two of them interrupted each other, and all the things they had just been frightened were left behind, and Bai Ji's little pastries were indeed delicate and cute, and they quickly attracted all their attention.
Since he had just lost a lot of guests, the shopkeeper was very enthusiastic about the master and servant who were not scared away, and saw that they had chosen a lot of things, and gave them a big discount. personally sent the two out of the door, not to mention, but also asked a miscellaneous guy to help deliver things to the carriage.
Yu Can saw that his purse was about to bottom out, and resisted the urge to go shopping again. There are all kinds of tempting scents on the Bafang Street, and if you continue to walk around, maybe your father will have to ransom her.
"Hey, girl, look, is that Mama Li next to the old lady?" As soon as Taozhi helped Yu Can into the car, he saw a familiar figure burrowing out of the corner and walking towards a tepid shop.
Yu Can took a closer look, and it was indeed Mama Li. "Cen Ji? It can't be my grandmother's dowry shop, right? The grandmother in her mouth is Yu Zhiyuan's mother, Cen Shi.
Cen is a southerner, likes exquisite dim sum, married in the capital back then, and is likely to buy a pastry shop.
Yu Can thought that her mother was counting her grandmother's dowry, which must include the account of the store, and the old lady was reluctant, maybe she would send Mama Li to do ghosts.
"Let's go, let's take a look!" Yu Can put his things in the car, let his mother-in-law guard them, and led the peach branch towards Cen Ji.
The two walked to the door, looked sideways in, and just saw Mama Li open a curtain and walk in.
Yu Can entered the store, pretended to pick something, rubbed to the curtain step by step, and pricked up his ears to listen to the movement inside. The people inside spoke quietly, and she only listened intermittently.
“...... The old lady is not kind to you...... If only the eldest lady knew...... What's more, just let you pretend to quit your job and take someone away, she didn't dare not stay. What does the shopkeeper think? ”
"Yes, yes, yes, it's all up to you."
Hearing the sound of Mama Li getting up and driving the chair, Yu Can hurriedly pulled the peach branch and slipped out the door, and when he stepped out of the threshold, the complaint of the shopkeeper still sounded in his mind.
[Poor sour goods, don't buy it and run to see a fart! ] 】
Isn't it just a fart? Yu Can replied in his heart very naively, and hurriedly walked out of Cen Ji.
After getting into the carriage, the master and servant lifted the curtain and saw Mama Li walking along the road to the corner of the street, and she should be preparing to go home.
"Let's go back too, the car is faster than the person, and we will definitely be able to arrive before her!"
The wheels are leisurely, and when she returned to Yufu, Mama Li really hadn't returned. Yu Can heard that the Yao family was still in the main courtyard, so he hurriedly trotted over in three steps and two steps.
At the entrance of the main courtyard, there were more than a dozen large boxes of dust, and a few of them were open, revealing the broken cloth inside, and a pile of porcelain that I didn't know how to break.
Yao's face was embarrassed, standing beside the pale-faced Li, and he said leisurely: "It's not that I want my mother to compensate, but after all, this is the dowry of my mother-in-law, how can I explain it to my husband?" ”
After she finished speaking, she saw Yu Can standing not far away and squeezing her eyes at her, rolled up her sleeves, and walked straight over despite Li's angry gaze.
"Cancan, what's wrong?"
Seeing that Li Shi turned around and rushed into the back room, Yu Can lowered his voice and said, "Mother, I just bumped into Mama Li running to my grandmother's dowry shop and threatening the shopkeeper to take someone to quit and make trouble. ”
Yao asked, "Can the shopkeeper respond?" ”
"Uh-huh!" Yu Can nodded angrily.
"Then let him resign, for what is the use of the unfaithful?"
Yao was not as angry as Yu Can thought.
"I thought it was the old man that your grandmother brought from the south, but if it was good, I would naturally give them some face. But people have voted for a new master, why should I delay their future? ”
Yao smiled and pinched Yu Can's face, and said to her like a child: "Go play with your younger brothers and sisters, my mother still has something to do here." ”
Yu Can saw that she was useless here, so he honestly returned to Songhe Courtyard.
As soon as she took over the task of feeding her sister, she heard the little maid in the house say that her mother had found a small yard for her, next to the Songhe Courtyard, and now she was sent someone to clean it, and she could move in after a while.
Hearing this, Taozhi whispered: "In this way, it doesn't matter if you divide the government or not. Madam mighty, no matter who does it, we will not suffer! ”
