XXXIX. The road is narrow and there are people

After knowing the reason why she couldn't cook well, Shen Linzhou was a little relieved, but for a while, Qin Wuran was doing it on his head, and he naturally couldn't have any intention of interrupting, so he just let Zhao Li continue to be busy for a few more days.

Who knew that after being touted by her younger brothers and sisters for a few days, Qin Wuran was also a little too confident and had to go to the big kitchen to help.

Zhao Li has just taken over Li Ji Restaurant, and he has been busy following her to make three meals a day in the past few days, which is really busy, if Qin Wuran comes to the back kitchen of Li Ji Restaurant to help again, I am afraid that he will only have to do more.

So he persuaded him with good words, Zhao Li only said that Qin Cinian's clothes and Qin Yingnian's clothes were not enough, and asked Qin Yingran to take them to buy some things that could be used daily. When the latter heard that he was indeed negligent, he took the money and went out with his younger siblings.

It's just that Shen Linzhou was still a little uneasy when he left, so he could only let Ah Jin follow behind, and also prevent the three of them from encountering anything that was difficult to deal with.

After all, Shen Linzhou is a child of the Shen family, even if he is temporarily separated from that family, he still has to have his own livelihood, otherwise he has been spending the family's money, and it will be meaningless for him to be independent.

Fortunately, he has experience in running Shenjia Restaurant, and he is also very handy at this time.

"Shopkeeper Shen's accounts are all clear?" Li Yingyue finished the work in hand, so she couldn't help but move to the counter and asked about Shen Linzhou.

However, the latter also glanced up at her, and then asked, "What do you want to ask?" ”

was easily guessed by others, and Li Yingyue also felt a little embarrassed, but the question in her heart had to be asked, so she leaned forward a little more and asked him in a low voice: "Is the marriage between Shopkeeper Shen and our young lady true?" ”

She had the meaning of seeing the excitement in her eyes, obviously because of curiosity, and Shen Linzhou didn't need to raise her eyes to know what she was thinking, and said while fiddling with the abacus in her hand: "Is it true that you can ask your young lady, she is always better than me." ”

The implication of this is that I am not ready to talk to myself.

When Li Yingyue heard this, she couldn't help but secretly sigh in her heart that Shen Linzhou was stingy, but she knew that if she asked Qin Wuran about this kind of thing, it would definitely make the latter angry, so she could only get news from Shen Linzhou at this time.

"I see that you have done so much to my young lady, I guess it is also a little interesting to her, what's the matter, do you want me to give you an idea? I've been with my young lady for so many years, but I know more about her than you do. ”

The ledger in his hand finally turned to the last page, Shen Linzhou stopped his previous rapid fiddling movements, and turned to look at Li Yingyue with interest, "Why do you think I'm interesting to her?" ”

"You bought this huge Li Ji restaurant, the uncle and the second master should not care about you wronged money, you spent so much just to give my young lady a place to live, isn't this intentional for her?"

Li Yingyue asked what she should be, and it seemed that in her eyes, if she achieved such a point, it would only be that kind of relationship.

However, Shen Linzhou showed her the latest accounts, and did not forget to explain to her in a daze.

"Although Li Kee Restaurant is only opened in Yuanxi Town, because it is famous and the price is very moderate, as long as the people in the whole town and even the surrounding area talk about the restaurant, most of them will always think of it. And in this way, the amount of money that Li Kee Restaurant can make every year is also very considerable, and if you look at the amount on this account book, you will know that I bought it as a sure way to make a profit. ”

Li Yingyue is more or less literate, not to mention that she has been in the Li family for so many years, and knows that Li Man and Li De's two families are basically raised by Li Ji Restaurant, so she has long known that Li Ji Restaurant can make money.

But because she had never paid attention to it, she never cared about the specific amount she could earn, and when she saw the long list displayed on the ledger, she immediately gasped.

"How much can you earn?" Li Yingyue's eyes were straight, and it was clear that the numbers in the ledger were in front of her, but her tone still revealed disbelief.

However, Shen Linzhou only slowly withdrew the account book, and then said to her: "This is only a previous amount, I have also run a famous restaurant in the imperial capital, and it is not known what this Li Ji Restaurant will do under my hands, and the amount that can be earned every year will naturally not be less than in previous years." ”

Li Yingyue is so big, not to mention that she has never heard of such a long list, plus Shen Linzhou will have more, and for a while, she is only dumbfounded.

Shen Linzhou looked at her and was obviously shocked, so he waved his hand at the person, "There are a few tables of people in front of you who have left, and if you don't clean up, there will definitely be guests again in a while, if you come in but have nowhere to sit, won't it delay the business of the store?" ”

Hearing this, Li Yingyue was stunned and went to the front to clean up, and when she finally finished the surrounding tables, the noon guests were estimated to be over, and Li Yingyue suddenly remembered what she wanted to ask before.

"No, I'm asking if you have that kind of mind for my young lady, why did you tell me how much money you make?" Li Yingyue came back to her senses at this time, and asked with some dissatisfaction.

Shen Linzhou finished settling the accounts, and at this time he simply looked at the idle book, so Li Yingyue stepped forward to ask, and he also looked away from the book and lifted his eyelids lightly.

Li Yingyue saw that he had responded, so she said again: "The dishes that Miss made before were simply salty, but you still ate them seriously, isn't this a sign of intention for her?" ”

"I just tasted a dish, and I didn't feel sorry for myself when it was hard to swallow, but I just wanted to see how far she could go."

Li Yingyue was really almost persuaded by him, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that it was wrong, so she brought it up again.

"Shen Gongzi is not an ordinary person, isn't it too strange that he is now living in our Yuanxi Town, busy with a business that does not belong to him, and caring about people who have nothing to do with him?"

was asked by her one after another, Shen Linzhou was more or less impatient, so he simply put down the book and rubbed his eyebrows, and when he raised his eyes again, he was a little positive.

"My father owed Mrs. Li a favor before, and now I heard that he wants to promote the marriage between the two of us, so my father also asked me to come over and have a look, counting that I haven't known your lady for much time, and I can't talk about any love and love, at most it's just pity, so I want to help as much as possible, and it can be regarded as repaying the favor before Mrs. Li."

"And the most important thing is that I have left the Shen family now, and I can't find anything to do for a while, your young lady borrowed two hundred taels from me before but I haven't paid it back, if I don't get some oil and water at Li Ji Restaurant, wouldn't I take these two hundred taels for nothing?"

Li Yingyue is not very old after all, and there are some things that they don't say much to her when they think about them, so it was only at this time that Li Yingyue didn't know that there was such a thing as two hundred taels, and hurriedly asked.

Shen Linzhou didn't plan to hide it with her, and briefly told her everything she had encountered after Qin Wu dyed back, which made people so angry that she almost tore the cloth towel in her hand in half.

"The Qin family is really a big face, they have treated their sons and daughters harshly, not to mention, they even dare to sell their sons and daughters, and they are not afraid that this matter will spread to the government."

Shen Linzhou saw that she was so angry, and knew that she must be really dyed for Qin Wu, so he explained to her at this time, "It is still difficult for Qing officials to cut off family affairs, not to mention that there are a lot of such secret things in the imperial capital, and everyone knows it, so it is not interesting to report to the official." What's more, your young lady doesn't have any backstage backing, even if this kind of thing is sued, with the Qin family's mountain blocking in front of it, it may not be able to reach Master Guan's ears. ”

"Isn't there a place to reason?" Li Yingyue was still a little angry when she said that, but when she turned her head and saw Shen Linzhou again, she couldn't help but say, "Shen Gongzi must be able to help with this." ”

Shen Linzhou felt funny when he heard it, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised, but the words he said were not as approachable as they seemed on the surface.

"What kind of position should I take to help your young lady? After all, I have nothing to do with her, she is not ready to marry me, and I am not ready to marry her, so it is not good to talk about the marriage contract. What's more, the more a big family like me, the more complex and chaotic it is unimaginable for you, and I am afraid that I will do more harm than good to your young lady if I get involved in this matter. ”

Li Yingyue heard it in a fog, and in the end she didn't understand why Shen Linzhou couldn't help, so she could only explain to herself that Shen Linzhou was not on good terms with his family, and if people knew that he still had the leisure to help others, he was afraid that he would have to take Qin Wuran to the embarrassment.

It's just that she still couldn't swallow this breath, and she pondered in her heart, and ran to the city to spread rumors the next day.

However, this is all later, and it is said that today Qin Wuran took her younger siblings to buy clothes, and coincidentally met Wang Qing again, which can be said to be a narrow road.

After only a few days, Wang Qing seemed to be even more radiant, holding a flower-like woman in his hand, and he kept laughing with her. The latter is also a body of wind and dust, even if it is good-looking, it is indeed not liked by serious people.

However, Wang Qing is not a serious person, and after walking like this in Fireworks Willow Lane, a heart that has little knowledge is left behind by this powerful woman, and now is the time for love.

After all, Qin Wuran was with her younger brothers and sisters at this time, and she didn't want these things to pollute their ears, so she planned to take them to bypass them.

But as soon as he glanced at them, Wang Qing saw them directly, holding the weak and boneless woman in his arms, and walked towards them in a leisurely manner.

The smell of wine on her body was unbearable, and it was rare for this woman to maintain a smiling appearance, Qin Wuran was so smoked by this smell that she hurriedly took two steps back, and protected her younger siblings behind her, with vigilance in her eyes.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, where did this wild seed come from, and brought it with you?"
