Chapter 67: Confession
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, it was Anji's excited voice, excited with a trill, "My lord, the person I sent out came back and said that he saw Brother Shi in a restaurant outside the street." β
Jiang Xiaobai stood up suddenly, trotted over and opened the door, with an excited face, "What are you still doing standing here, let's go quickly, which restaurant is it?!" β
Jiang Xiaobai was about to go out in a hurry, Anji followed behind him and clenched his sword, since Jiang Xiaobai disappeared last time, he felt uneasy and guilty, and this time he swore that this kind of thing would never happen again.
"It's the most famous Deshan restaurant at the corner of the street, and the wine in it is famous in Feng."
"How famous is it, but it is famous for the Huya Tavern in Yanyang?"
"That's pretty much the point, hehehe."
"Just your poor boy, let's go quickly."
"Yes, sir!"
β¦β¦
Jiang Xiaobai's mansion was very close to the market, and it didn't take long to find the restaurant, Jiang Xiaobai stood in front of the door, looked up at the four big characters written on the plaque, and rushed in after confirming that it was correct.
"Come on, get some good wine!"
Jiang Xiaobai flicked down her sleeves and sat down heroically, she didn't plan to ask the people here directly, but planned to sit down and observe and see the opportunity to act.
Her intuition told her that Shi Shaoyuan and this restaurant must have some story, and Shi Shaoyuan deliberately wanted to hide it from her.
"Here comes the guest officer! Liu'er, hurry up and open the bottle of daughter red and send it over, I'm busy here~"
Yang Liu'er put down the account book in her hand, went in response, and trotted all the way over with her daughter Hong in her arms, "Guest officer, your daughter Hong, do you have any other orders?" β
Jiang Xiaobai looked up and found that the woman in Tsing Yi was very outstanding, with a cold temperament, although she was a shopkeeper, she was a little arrogant in her demeanor.
Jiang Xiaobai smiled and said, "May I ask the girl's surname?" β
Yang Liu'er was stunned for a moment, looked up at Jiang Xiaobai, and wondered in her heart, this guest officer looked at the gentle and elegant son, but his speech was frivolous, and his face instantly became a little colder.
"Yang, if the guest officer has nothing to order, the little one will retire." Yang Liu'er said unhappily.
Jiang Xiaobai was surprised when he noticed Yang Liu'er's emotions, and suddenly remembered that he was a man at this time, and what he said just now was inevitably misunderstood, so he was embarrassed to ask more.
After Yang Liu'er left, Jiang Xiaobai poured a glass of wine, took a sip, and pondered. She originally guessed that there must be someone in this restaurant who had something to do with Shi Shaoyuan, but at first glance, only the charm of the proprietress and this girl looked a little suspicious.
But she said her surname was Yang.
Could it be related to the proprietress ?
Jiang Xiaobai knocked on the table, hesitated, and finally drank the wine glass in his hand, walked to the front desk, leaned lazily, weighed his head, shook the empty wine glass in his hand, looked at the proprietress and said with a smile: "Boss, this daughter is so delicious, can you fill me a few bottles and send them back?" β
The proprietress was thinking about the abacus, and when she heard Jiang Xiaobai's praise, her smiling eyes narrowed into a slit, and she looked up and smiled: "Childe is really good at complimenting, our signature here is daughter red, per person per day, limited to one bottle, Childe!" β
I'm not going to drink it for real, it's just a clichΓ©.
Jiang Xiaobai smiled softly, and then the proprietress continued, "That's a pity, the proprietress not only has good wine, but also a beautiful person, and she is kind in her heart." β
Coaxing words are set in one.
The proprietress showed her teeth when she smiled, happily stopped what she was doing, and chatted with Jiang Xiaobai with great interest.
"You little boy is really sweet-mouthed, I'm old, I can't compare to those young girls outside!"
Jiang Xiaobai shook his head in denial, and looked at the proprietress with a serious face, "I can't say that, I think the proprietress is more temperamental and charming than those young women." β
The boasting proprietress has gold stars in her eyes.
Laughed happily, "Ouch, you're so good at talking, for the sake of your sweet mouth, I'll make an exception to give you some more daughters." β
Jiang Xiaobai didn't refuse, nodded with a smile, and then began to ask the question he wanted to ask, "Has the boss lady ever seen a handsome son recently?" It's tall, white-skinned, and looks very well-behaved and quiet. β
When the proprietress heard Jiang Xiaobai say this, her face instantly became nervous, and her attitude towards Jiang Xiaobai began to change from relaxed to nervous, and she spoke a lot more indifferently, "I've seen it, I don't know if the guest officer is looking for him about peace?" β
Jiang Xiaobai was even more sure of the popularity of this proprietress Shi Shaoyuan.
Jiang Xiaobai smiled lowly, looking embarrassed, "That son saved me, I think it would be good to be able to repay him, I heard that the son is here, so I thought about coming over to try my luck." β
The proprietress glanced at Jiang Xiaobai suspiciously, then picked up the account book on the table and flipped it over, "I mean that the guest officer praised it so enthusiastically, it turned out that he had already saved such careful thoughts." β
Jiang Xiaobai raised his head and looked serious, "Although I have selfish intentions, every word I praise is sincere, and it is by no means false, don't misunderstand me, boss." β
The proprietress saw that Jiang Xiaobai was extremely sincere, so she softened her face, "Just when you say it is really good, that son often comes here, but without his permission, I'm not good at selling the news, so let's help you tell him, and I'll tell you when you come to drink next time." β
Next time?
How long will it take to do it next time?
Of course, Jiang Xiaobai felt that it was too slow, but there was only this way to let go, so he had to nod his head and agree.
The proprietress spoke again, "I'll go get you some daughter red now, wait here, go and go back~"
"Trouble the boss." Jiang Xiaobai replied with a smile.
The proprietress went to the back kitchen happily, Jiang Xiaobai waited, played with her fingers, and suddenly heard a familiar voice behind her.
"Your Excellency, ......?"
Small stones?
No way?
Jiang Xiaobai turned around in surprise and found that Shi Shaoyuan was behind him, gray-faced, and his clothes had become tattered and dirty.
The corners of Jiang Xiaobai's mouth twitched in surprise, and he opened his mouth in disbelief, "Small, small stone?!" β
Shi Shaoyuan nodded, his eyes flickered, and he lowered his head embarrassedly, "I'm sorry for my lord, my subordinates will definitely explain it like my lord if he left without permission." β
Jiang Xiaobai was still in a state of surprise, shaking his head, "Don't worry, I don't blame you, but what's your situation?" Just escaped from the wolf's den? β
Shi Shaoyuan: "I ......"
The proprietress holding her daughter Hong suddenly interrupted Shi Shaoyuan's words and exclaimed loudly, "Son! Why are you up the mountain again! Didn't my mother say that I don't want you to do these rough jobs! β
Double surprise.
Jiang Xiaobai's brain has exploded at this moment, son, mother, go up the mountain? What's that, it's all ???
"Little stone, this is ...... What the...... Circumstance? β
