Su Jin'an, who was dressed in men's clothes, and Powder Cream came out to keep looking for alleys with few people in order not to attract attention, Su Jin'an came out alone for the first time, and the road was still led by Powder Cream.

Not long after, Su Jinan was led by Powder Frost to the largest smoke willow lane in the capital, they stopped in front of a gorgeously decorated building, and Powder Frost whispered: "Miss, this is it." ”

Su Jinan nodded, "Yanyulou, although I have been in business, it is the first time I have come here, and my boss is a little incompetent." ”

"How can it be, it wouldn't exist if it weren't for you, it's their blessing to have a boss like you."

"I haven't seen you for a few months, and your ass is getting more and more slippery."

Su Jin'an smiled, and then said, "Is there a side door?" Although there are not many people here during the day, it is better to be cautious. ”

Powder Frost patted his chest and said, "Then there must be, you come with me." ”

Follow Powder Frost into a small alley until you reach the end and see a small black door, Powder Frost went up and knocked lightly a few times, someone inside showed his head and came out, and saw that the person who came was Powder Frost and said, "Frost girl, who is this?" ”

Powder Cream pulled out a small black feather from his sleeve pocket, and when the man saw it, he opened the door with a quick smile, and when he entered, he made sure that there was no one around, and then closed the door.

Su Jin'an couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you just come here, why are you already so familiar with this place." ”

Powder Frost smiled: "Didn't I stay in the Black Feather Gate, although this building was opened by us, but it also has a share of the Black Feather Gate, I am more familiar with the rules in the door, so when I arrived in the capital, I came here to settle down first." ”

Su Jinan nodded and followed her to continue walking inside, before she reached the front yard the boss lady came over, the boss lady Su Jinan is known, her name is Tian Hong, people call her Hong Niang, this Chinese New Year's Eve is more than thirty years old, this is also a woman in a green building in Annan, by chance was taken by Su Jinan for his own use, and later the development of the capital needed to send reliable people over, Su Jinan let her come, this stay is four years.

Now that I see Su Jin An Hongniang again, her eyes are not red, this little girl in front of her is the one who changed her fate, I still remember when I first met, she was only ten years old, but her eyes were indeed so firm and wise.

She still remembered what she had said to her at the beginning: to die, you need to be determined, to live, you need to have courage, you can die, because you don't have the courage, so you can only use your ridiculous determination to fill the dignity you have been deprived, but unfortunately, your death can only once again be a laughing stock for your enemies.

Later, she slowly discovered that this girl was really contradictory, sometimes she felt that she was very soft, and sometimes she felt that she was really cold-blooded, but this did not affect her gratitude and loyalty to her.

Looking at the Hongniang with reddish eyes, Su Jin'an said first: "I haven't seen you for many years, and Hongniang hasn't changed at all." ”

Hong Niang knew that Su Jinan didn't like to see people crying, so she held back her tears and pretended to be relaxed: "Miss has grown taller and more beautiful." ”

Su Jinan sat in the private room of Yanyu Building and listened to Hongniang's report on the situation here: "Miss, our Yanyu Building has been in the capital for four years, although it is not the best flower building, but it is not worse than anyone else's, if it weren't for Miss saying that it should be low-key, but there would be nothing to do with the rather arrogant Piaoxiangyuan opposite." ”

Su Jinan just smiled and didn't speak, and motioned to Hong Niang to continue, Hong Niang only complained a little, she knew very well that the main job of Yanyu Building was to inquire about the news and not a real brothel, so she didn't care too much about the competition from her peers, so she went on to say to Su Jin'an: "Miss, in the past few years, no one has come to embarrass us in the name of the Black Feather Gate, and occasionally some uninteresting ones have been sent away by the people in the door, and now with the plan you made and the assistance of the Black Feather Gate, our information network has basically been built, It's just that I think it still needs to be improved, after all, four years is not a long time. ”

After listening to Hong Niang's report, Su Jinan patted her hand: "You have done a good job, from the information you passed to me, it can be seen that the level of detail you gave is already very high, and it is hard for you to be able to do this in such a short time, and those who work with you, I just arrived this year, and it is almost the end of the year, and I will be paid two more months of salary this year." ”

Hong Niang smiled after hearing this: "Even if you don't send it, we are happy, with you coming to take charge in person, we will soon be able to be as efficient here as we were in Huailing, Annan, and you have never treated each of us badly, we really feel very lucky to be able to serve you." ”

Su Jinan took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to Hong Niang, "Okay, don't praise me, I have limited time, this is some new plan I wrote, you can find time to read it, if there is no problem, you can implement it." ”

"Okay, I'll get back to you as soon as possible." Hong Niang probably flipped it over and put it away.

After chatting with Hong Niang for a while, Su Jinan got up and said goodbye: "I'll leave if there's nothing to do." ”

"Can't Miss finish eating before leaving?"

"No, the capital is not Huailing, I'd better be careful."

"Okay, by the way, the master of the door may be coming recently, if he comes, will I let you know?"

"He? No, tell him to come to me himself. Su Jin'an was a little indifferent.

"Okay, Miss be careful on the road."

"Hmm".

It was already past noon when Su Jin'an returned to Linlang Pavilion, and as soon as she entered the door, she heard Xia Qu's voice: "Miss, you are back, I thought you were in trouble." ”

Before Su Jinan could open his mouth, he preemptively said: "What trouble can we encounter, even if there is, are we afraid that we can't solve it if there is a young lady?" ”

Xia Qu glanced at her and warned: "This is the capital, you can be more restrained." ”

Powder Cream replied a little exaggeratedly: "Got it, Mama Xia-"

Xia Qubai ignored her at a glance.

Su Jinan saw that the two of them were no longer arguing, and asked while looking at the goods on the shelves, "Xia Qu, how about the gift I asked you to pick for the eldest sister?" ”

"Miss Hui, I've picked it, it's all upstairs, you can come with me."

Xia Qu said as he walked: "I picked a total of three things, namely a set of phalaenopsis heads, a pink pearl bracelet, and a handwritten painting by the famous Lu Zhongxing, you see which one is more suitable, if not, I will prepare again." ”

Su Jinan looked at the gift in front of him and quickly made a decision: "We just came back, and all rooms have already visited, this birthday banquet is still low-key, but it can't look shabby, just the bracelet of pink pearls, I think it is in good condition, it is not luxurious and expensive." ”

"Okay, then I'll take it and tell them to wrap it up."

Xia Qu was just about to leave when he was stopped by Su Jin'an: "Wait, I see this painting is not bad, let's wrap it up, I can give it to my eldest brother when I go back." ”

"Yes—" Xia Qu smiled and went down with two things.

As soon as Xia Qu took the powder, he cautiously approached Su Jin'an's side and said with some doglegs: "Miss, do you have any other instructions?" ”

Su Jin'an glanced at her, it must be no good for this girl to smile like this, so she said expressionlessly: "It's gone." ”

Powder Frost smiled even more: "Miss, it's past noon, aren't you hungry?" ”

Su Jinan heard this, this is to kill her: "Say what you want to eat, I'm in a good mood today, I will satisfy you." ”

Powder Frost listened and said happily: "Miss still knows me best, Miss, let's go to Linjiang Building, I heard that it is the best restaurant in Beijing, not only the food is good, but the scenery is good, let's go and have a look." ”

Su Jinan glanced at her: "You will be able to pick when you arrive, you have already thought about it." ”

Powder Cream smiled.

After a while, Xia Qu took the wrapped things, Su Jinan changed back into women's clothes, and the three masters and servants went to Linjiang Tower.

Linjiang Tower is located in the most prosperous area of the capital, is a veritable "Linjiang" building, because behind it is a tributary of the moat into the imperial city - Lishui River, which is indeed built by water. Although Su Jin'an came to Linjiang Lou when it was past the meal, there were still a lot of guests, this Linjiang Lou deserved to be the best restaurant in the capital, from this high-profile and exquisite decoration you can smell a smell of local tyrants, it seems that this boss must not be an ordinary person.

As soon as Su Jinan and the three of them arrived at the door, the enthusiastic little second brother came out to greet them: "This young lady is please, what do you want to eat, just say, the food in our store is satisfactory to you." ”

Su Jin'an glanced at the hall, there are not many people to eat at this time, most of them are some small talk, this time is the most suitable time to inquire about the news, but unfortunately there are almost no women sitting on the first floor, let alone young ladies, and there are already a few tables of people looking at them from time to time, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Su Jinan had to give up the idea of eating in the hall, and said to Xiao Er: "Is there a private room?" ”

"Yes, Miss upstairs, please." With that, he led them up to the second floor.

Su Jin'an asked Powder Cream and Xia Qu to order a few dishes each and let Xiao Er go down, Su Jin'an looked at this private room and felt really good, he could see the river below when he opened the window, it would be good if he came here in summer, but unfortunately it was winter now, and there was nothing to look at.

The stove in the room was burning, Xia Qu and Powder Frost were sitting next to them whispering, Su Jinan stood by the window thoughtfully, and the calm atmosphere did not last long before it was broken by an "uninvited guest".

Rong Chengyi knew when Su Jin'an entered Linjiang Tower, and when he saw her enter the private room, he paused when he stood at the door and was about to knock on the door, I haven't seen this girl for two years, I don't know what happened to this girl.

"Master." The guard next to him said loudly, this guard is also an acquaintance, it is the guard next to the man in white that Su Jin'an met in the cave many years ago - Ye Xiu.

It is not difficult to speculate that the person standing in front of the door at this moment is the person saved by Su Jinan back then, hearing Ye Xiu's voice, Rong Chengyi quickly retracted his thoughts and knocked on the door in front of him.

Su Jinan thought that Xiao Er had brought the food, and said casually: "Come in-"

Rong Chengyi, who was outside the door, hooked the corners of his mouth and pushed the door in.

Su Jinan stood at the window and didn't look back, Xia Qu and Fan Shuang saw Rong Chengyi subconsciously get up and were about to salute, but Rong Chengyi stopped them in time, and the two had to stand aside obediently.

Rong Chengyi slowly walked to the figure by the window, I haven't seen this girl for two years, she has grown a lot taller, her temperament has not changed, she is still quiet and introverted, she looks like a beautiful lady, but he knows that this is just the appearance, she seems to be gentle and easy-going, but in fact she is cold inside, except for the person she decided to protect, she doesn't care about anyone, although she has superb medical skills, she doesn't easily reveal her skills, just like when she was in the cave, if it wasn't for the form, she wouldn't save herself.

Su Jinan suddenly felt that the room was much quieter, and he couldn't even hear the sounds of Xia Qu and Powder Cream, so he couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and just turned around and was about to tease their rare quietness when he suddenly crashed into a pair of dark and deep sights, but in just a moment, Su Jinan came back to his senses, looked at the handsome, gentle and elegant young man Su Jinan in front of him and smiled: "Second prince, why are you here?" ”

After speaking, without waiting for Rong Chengyi to answer, he circled around him and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, the second prince is still in style." ”

Rong Chengyi returned: "I haven't seen An An for two years, and it's even more like a flower." Every time he saw him, Su Jinan must use his appearance as an opening statement, and this time he should also pay a salute.

Su Jin'an raised her eyebrows when she heard Rong Chengyi's words: "In front of you, how can I be worthy of 'like a flower like jade', and 'An An' is not suitable for the second prince, so let's call me Jin'an."

Rong Chengyi smiled indifferently, took off his robe and sat down, looked at Su Jin'an calmly, and said, "I also remember that I said that you are not allowed to call me the second prince outside." The two looked at each other calmly, one calmly, and did not give in to each other, Su Jinan was very speechless in his heart, he thought that he would never know the road from now on, but he didn't think that this guy was still a prince, and it happened that he was the "big man" in Huailing when Huailing was raided.

After the raid, he stayed in Huailing and pacified the border with the town envoys, but when Su Jinan saw Rong Chengyi again, he came to "visit" Su Mu as the second prince, God knows how much Su Jinan wanted to hit the wall at that time, she could meet the prince by saving anyone in the cave, she didn't know whether she should be happy or worried about herself, fortunately, this person was still trustworthy, and did not say that he saved him, only said that he had met by chance in the cave, after all, although Su Muqing was asleep at that time, he was also present, and it was impossible to pretend not to know.

Rong Chengyi stayed in Annan for more than two years, and he did not return to Beijing until the border dispute was completely settled. During this period, Rong Chengyi and Su Muqing got closer, which indirectly led to Su Jin'an often seeing him, which made Su Jinan deeply know that the people in front of him seemed to be light and light, but they were unfathomable inside, but fortunately, they were not enemies.

"Knock, knock, knock, miss, your meal is ready." Xiao Er's voice interrupted the two people who were looking at each other in the room, and also relieved the few people standing on the side, Ye Xiu quickly opened the door, took the meal and sent Xiao Er away by the way, and then went to the door under the pretext of guarding the door.

Powder Frost secretly scolded him for being a scheming man, but he didn't dare to show it too obviously, who said that he didn't move as fast as anyone else.

"Then I'll call you Rongcheng like my eldest brother."

Su Jinan spoke first: "Who called your family's surname so special." ”

"I thought I hadn't seen you for so long, you had forgotten about me, and you would ask 'who are you' when you meet," Rong Chengyi said as he looked at the person who had already stretched his hand to the food on the table.

Su Jinan said while serving food to his mouth: "Your identity is so special, I forgot that no one dares to forget you." ”

Rong Chengyi smiled and didn't answer, looking at the dishes on the table and not moving the chopsticks, thinking in his heart that this girl's preferences had not changed.

Su Jin'an, who was eating, suddenly paused, looked up at Rong Chengyi, and then looked at Xia Qu and Powder Frost who were standing in the distance, swallowed the rice in his mouth and asked, "Are you two standing so far away not eating?" ”

Xia Qu and Powder Frost said against their will: "We are not hungry. ”

Seeing that they were pitiful, Su Jin'an shook his head and didn't embarrass them too much: "Forget it, you can go out and order another table by yourself." ”

The two of them were instantly amnesty, and exited the room as fast as they could, and when the two left, Rong Chengyi touched his smooth chin and asked, "Am I so terrible?" Your maid seems to be afraid of me. ”

Su Jinan glanced at him: "What do you say?" ”

Rong Chengyi glanced at the corners of his mouth indifferently: "Isn't it just that he disposed of two fine works that year, is it so terrifying?" ”

Su Jinan raised his head: "Your 'disposal' is unbearable for ordinary people, two teenage girls saw you smiling and executing people with their own eyes, it's already very good if you weren't scared crazy, okay, it's normal for people to have a shadow on you." ”

"Then why aren't you afraid of me? Don't you have a shadow on me? Su Jinan put down his chopsticks helplessly: "How many times have you asked me this, is it interesting?" ”

Rong Chengyi didn't continue to ask, he was sent by his father to the border to practice, he didn't want to be assassinated by someone with a heart, and was rescued by Su Jin'an, he thought she was a master's apprentice, but he didn't think she was Su Mu's daughter, and he remembered that he was really taken aback when he saw Su Jin'an in Su Mansion, but this girl was so plain that he knew that he was the prince and just gave himself a salute and left, as if she was just a one-sided relationship with herself like Su Muqing, and she was not ready to admit that she had saved herself. Ordinary people will definitely ask for something from themselves with life-saving grace when they encounter this kind of thing, she is good not only does not want any benefits but also does not admit that she has saved herself, he thought that this girl had ulterior motives, but he didn't expect that she really didn't want to have anything to do with herself, so he didn't embarrass her, just got involved with Su Muqing and Su Muyang.

Until that time he caught two fine works, the two of them were very hard, so he used some methods to make them speak, and he didn't want to be seen by Su Jin'an and her girl, who went to find Su Muyang, her girl was pale and her legs trembled, she was very calm, and she took the maid away at a glance, she was only eleven years old that year, which made him a little curious about this little girl.

Every time he had the opportunity, he had to catch her to ask and chat, and the two became familiar with each other, he always thought that Su Muqing was the smartest person in the Su family, but he didn't expect that this girl was not a simple one, he felt that these people in the Su family were really more surprising than one another.

Stripped of the thoughts in his head, Rong Chengyi smiled and said, "Okay, then I won't ask, anyway, your answer hasn't changed." ”

Su Jin'an listened before continuing to eat, and asked while eating: "You are also a prince, so it's okay to just swagger around, but it's not good to sit here with me and eat together." ”

Rong Chengyi raised his eyebrows when he heard this: This is driving people. But he didn't have the slightest intention of leaving: "I haven't seen you for many years, are you in such a hurry to drive my old friend away?" ”

"Isn't this also for the sake of your old man's safety, in case there are any assassins, killers and the like, it will not be good."

"Rest assured, I won't trip over the same stone."

"Then I don't know how His Royal Highness the prince is going to ensure that he is safe in this mixed restaurant, you think the restaurant is your ......" Su Jin'an suddenly paused in the middle of speaking, and glanced at Rong Chengyi with a smile on his face, Su Jin'an finally understood why he dared to talk and laugh with himself here unscrupulously, this restaurant must be operated by him behind the scenes, and it was really an old fox.
