Chapter 299: Become a shopkeeper
"If you stay below, it's too unrelenting, and several adults are also people with status, so naturally they have to be entertained."
After everyone entered the door, Zhao Ming first looked at the room. I saw that the furnishings inside were complete, the lighting was sufficient, and there was a spider plant blooming under the window, and occasionally there was a faint fragrance, and there was a tendency to surpass those inns and private rooms.
"Let me be the host today, and treat you well once." Jiang Liuyu arranged for everyone to sit down, and stood to open the window by himself, standing at the window with his hands crossed on his waist, just bathed in the morning sun.
Xiang Fanhua pouted with a little bit of dismantling the stage, and also walked to her side, holding the window sill on the other side with one hand. "I'm embarrassed to say that you entertained, why did you still ask me to open the door and want me to help make tea."
Hearing this, several people sitting laughed, but Zhao Ming smiled a little embarrassed. The people here are all familiar with each other and have been friends for many years, but they seem to be a temporary insertion, completely out of place.
In this scene, Zhao Ming was like sitting on pins and needles, and he was uncomfortable. He peeked behind him and found that the regular servants who accompanied him were still standing by the door and guarding their positions, so that he could find some of himself.
Although Zhao Ming said that he couldn't intervene in their laughter, but listening to Jiang Liuyu's words, his heart was itching, and he stood up and gave up his hand lively, and said loudly: "The princess is really too polite, it is already presumptuous to come over to disturb today, and she has to ask the princess to break the bank, which is really a shame for the lower officials." ”
Jiang Liuyu was stunned for a moment, then quickly came back to his senses and smiled faintly at him. "Where, it should be."
From the moment the two of them spoke, Su Jingye quietly looked at Zhao Ming, not for precaution, but to guess what Zhao Ming was thinking in his heart.
However, his abacus was wrong, Jiang Liuyu would say so on the surface, but in fact he still preferred frugality. Now that you're in this room, you have to follow the locals.
There are only a street full of snack bars in this neighborhood, and even if Ruyu really plans to treat them, she will ask people to put several kinds of dim sum on the table at most, and it will definitely not cost as much as a table of banquets in the inn restaurant. Zhao Ming's fantasy feast, that is absolutely impossible.
I'm afraid that she is next to so many delicious neighborhoods, so Liuyu only wants to repair this place beautifully, so that she can come over and enjoy it.
As he was talking, a guy walked in outside the door, holding a tray like a shopkeeper in a teahouse, with a huge teapot and several cups on it.
With the previous glance downstairs, Xiao Er counted how many people Jiang Liuyu brought over this time, but unfortunately he forgot to count Jiang Liuyu in it, fortunately, there was a tea set on the table in the room, but it was not embarrassing.
For Jiang Liuyu and Xiang Fanhua to stand on the window mouth and bask in the sun, they didn't notice it much, and the guy hurriedly put down his things uncomfortably and hurriedly left, so as not to be stabbed.
Shi Zhengzhi stretched out his hand to pour tea for Xiang Fanhua and glanced at it, only to find out why the guy was like this, and his scalp couldn't help but tense, very helpless.
Jiang Liuyu leaned against the window, and the whole person was warm to the sun. And as time passed, the sun outside became hotter and hotter, and before she knew it, she was roasted as if she would smoke at any time.
Xiang Fanhua couldn't stand it first, Jiang Liuyu was about to leave, and suddenly saw the shopkeeper downstairs appear in sight, his face was happy, and he took a long breath and walked back.
"The shopkeeper has come up, and in a moment I will ask him to bring you the book of the records."
It was still in such a warm realm just now, but now it has come to a cool place, so Jiang Liuyu is still a little unable to adapt to it, and after a while, he feels a little itchy on his back, and slowly has a layer of goosebumps.
Su Jingye noticed, reached out and patted her on the back to relieve her, and asked, "By the way, haven't you been with Miss Bao a lot these days, why didn't you go to her today?" ”
Jiang Liuyu was enjoying his service, and when he suddenly heard such a sentence, the whole person was immediately stunned. "Well, you should give yourself a little time to rest."
"It's funny what you said, isn't it because she won't even let you sit down, if you have time to go to her, she may not want to let you sleep more."
After that, Su Jingye smiled lightly, and also planned to pour Jiang Liuyu a cup of tea, but found that the cup was not enough, Jiang Liuyu quietly pulled his sleeve and shook his head slightly, so he gave up.
"Lord, you don't know this, Jingshu has recently become obsessed with various methods of making tea, every time the princess goes to her, she will be pulled to practice together, and sometimes she has to sit there obediently for several hours," Speaking of this, Jiang Liuyu immediately couldn't help but tremble a few times.
"The princess was really scared, so she used the excuse to come out with me to relax." Xiang Fanhua smiled at Jiang Liuyu's complaining gaze, and ruthlessly dismantled her platform.
"After all, with Jingshu's character, she doesn't like to run around the most, and the princess just took advantage of this reason to 'take a few days off' with her."
"Why can't you hide things at all, and all the little things you have hidden have been poked out by you. The next time I catch you, you see I'm still willing to let you go. ”
Jiang Liuyu's face was furious, and he stretched out his hand and wanted to hit Fanhua. And Xiang Fanhua's upper body turned to the side a little, Jiang Liuyu's hand was not long enough, so she could miss it.
"So what, I'm naturally not afraid." Xiang Fanhua leaned on Shi Zhengzhi's shoulder, and saw Jiang Liuyu annoyed and angry, with a bright smile on his face.
Zhao Ming, who was sitting opposite them, had a polite smile on the corner of his mouth, and quietly turned a few inches to the side to avoid the sight of the side watching the fight.
This left and right are both husband and wife who have started a family, and sandwiching him alone in the middle makes him even more lonely, which looks very pitiful at first glance.
After the fight, the room fell into an inexplicable silence, Jiang Liuyu gently tapped the index finger of his right hand, and wanted to prop his left hand on his chin, but he was afraid that this posture was too unsightly, so he had to hold back.
I just saw that the shopkeeper was coming, why hasn't he come up for so long? Jiang Liuyu was puzzled, stood up, and broke the dull atmosphere by pouring tea.
"Lord Zhao, wait a moment, the shopkeeper is old, and it will inevitably be a little grinding to do things, so you can sit with peace of mind first."
"Well said, well said." Facing the princess's personal tea ceremony, Zhao Ming was a little frightened, he didn't dare to slack off at all, he also stood up, respectfully took the teacup with both hands, took a sip, and praised, "Good tea." ”
It was almost a blurted out of praise, which can be regarded as a habit cultivated over the years, but in fact, Zhao Ming didn't taste the taste of the tea much.
At first, he sat among them awkwardly, and he couldn't blend in with the excitement at all, and he had already made Zhao Ming's mouth extremely dry, and now he was in a panic, how could he still have the extra mood to taste tea.
Jiang Liuyu smiled lightly and nodded and withdrew his hand, but it was the first time he saw the color of the tea in his teacup, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
At this moment, the door opened, and a middle-aged uncle with a moustache on his lips and a slightly bloated figure walked in from the staircase, panting with his knees propped up.
After entering the door, he calmed down, and the uncle bowed his hand to Jiang Liuyu, "I didn't expect the owner to come over in person, it's really a disappointment, and I ask the owner to forgive me, but I don't know what happened to the owner this time." ”
"These are ......" Judging from the tone of his voice, this must be the shopkeeper Jiang Liuyu said, and the few people present all tacitly knew it.
"These people are from the yamen, and they are looking for us to ask for some clues." Jiang Liuyu walked off the table, "Where did you put that booklet, you can take it out first, so that Lord Zhao can look through it." ”
Cheng shopkeeper reflected for a while, and leaned over and bowed down: "Yes." Then he dragged his heavy body and was about to pant and walk out, Jiang Liuyu really couldn't stand it, and hurriedly stopped him.
"Well, I'll just run by myself, and you can tell me where the location is."
"Thank you for your kindness, it's not far away, it's in the drawer of the room at the far right end of the first floor." Shopkeeper Cheng straightened up with difficulty, and took out a key from his sleeve, "Use this to open the lock of that drawer." ”
"Okay." Jiang Liuyu was about to walk out in a hurry, but as if he had thought of something, he hurriedly turned around, and his movements were so fast, as if he was going to dance in this corridor.
"By the way, and do you know where the tea leaves in our shop are?"
It turned out that when the guy delivered the tea, he didn't grow to where the tea was placed, so he had to boil a pot of water and send it over. Only then did Zhao Ming blurt out a good tea sentence in a hurry, which was obviously a compliment or perfunctory.
At this time, although Jiang Liuyu did not say anything, it was enough to make Zhao Ming embarrassed.
"Well, that's also on the counter in that room, and the owner can find it by looking at it." After the shopkeeper finished speaking, Xiaoyun helped him into the room, and by the way, he also gave way to himself, and trotted downstairs with Jiang Liuyu.
In the end, it was still the young man's movements that were faster, and the shopkeeper Cheng had just calmed down his rapid breathing, and when he walked to Zhao Ming's side, Jiang Liuyu took the things again in a hurry.
"There are several booklets in the cupboard, and I don't know what you're looking for, so I've brought them all." Jiang Liuyu said as she opened the tea jar stuffed in Xiaoyun's hand, grabbed a handful of teapots and threw them into the table at random.
