Chapter 13: Strange Events
Ruan Yezhen looked at Xie Jinlan thoughtfully: Is this what he came here for?
As soon as such a question flashed through her mind, the next moment, Ruan Yezhen heard Master Chen ask in a low voice:
"It's not far from the backyard of the king's house, it's ...... Yan Zhi came here to find out what news from those peddlers and pawns? ”
"Guest officer, your bowl of bean curd and three meat buns, please use it slowly!" At this time, the proprietress brought hot bean curd and meat buns to the table.
When she got up, she saw Xie Jinlan's face, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she couldn't help but ridicule:
"What a handsome young man, he looks very angry. Did you just move to Lin'an County recently? ”
Xie Jinlan smiled back:
"Thank you for the compliment, I have been in Lin'an County for more than half a year, but I rarely go out. I also heard someone say two days ago that the bean curd and meat buns you have here are a must in Lin'an County. That's why I thought I'd come over and try it. ”
The proprietress slapped her thigh, and suddenly smiled: "Oh, you young man is really good at talking." Today, this bowl of bean curd is what I gave you. ”
Xie Jinlan didn't shirk it, smiled gently, and said, "Then thank you boss." ”
It wasn't until the proprietress left that Xie Jinlan looked at Master Chen: "I'm here just to have a breakfast, Ziyu don't think too much." ”
As he spoke, Xie Jinlan took out a pair of chopsticks from the bamboo tube on the table, then took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped it, and then slowly picked up the meat bun and ate it.
Seeing Xie Jinlan's leisurely appearance, Ruan Yezhen instantly pouted unhappily:
"Xie Jinlan, why do you look gentle and elegant to the boss? But it's cynical to me? Have I ever offended you? ”
Ruan Yezhen also knew that at this time, Xie Jinlan would not talk to her.
After being sullen for a while, her heart suddenly had the idea of playing tricks. I saw a hint of cunning flash in her eyes:
"Brother Jinlan, is there something wrong with others? Do you hate people? ”
Ruan Yezhen's pretentious voice made Xie Jinlan choke on a mouthful of bean curd in an instant, covering his mouth and coughing lightly sideways.
It wasn't until Xie Jinlan stopped coughing and turned around that Master Chen asked with some concern: "Yanzhi, are you okay?" ”
Xie Jinlan waved his hand lightly: "It's okay." ”
From an angle that Master Chen couldn't see, he glared at Ruan Yezhen fiercely.
Ruan Yezhen smiled a little gloatingly:
"It turns out that you, like my father, don't like women to be so pretentious. If you're not going to help me, I'll be talking to you in that voice for the rest of the day. ”
As she spoke, Ruan Yezhen coughed lightly and pinched her throat: "Brother Jinlan, what do you think of this idea?" Do you want to help people? ”
Xie Jinlan frowned a little uncomfortably, then straightened his tone slightly, and looked at Master Chen in a low voice:
"Ziyu, I think what you said earlier is very reasonable! How can I sit idly by and ignore human life? ”
Master Chen looked at Xie Jinlan in some surprise, and then the joy and excitement on his face were obvious: "Big ...... Yan Zhineng thinks like this, it is really a blessing for the people of Lin'an County! ”
Xie Jinlan didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his inconsistent words, and accepted Master Chen's praise very calmly.
Then he glanced at Ruan Yezhen vaguely, as if to say: Are you satisfied now?
Of course, Ruan Yezhen is very satisfied.
Xie Jinlan shouted towards the stall: "Boss, let's have another bowl of bean curd, give me the son opposite!" ”
The proprietress responded heartily: "Okay! ”
Master Chen waved his hand a little anxiously: "Yanzhi, I really don't need you to spend so much." ”
Xie Jinlan smiled casually: "Ziyu, when did I say that I was going to pay the bill for you?" ”
Master Chen choked and looked at Xie Jinlan very puzzled: "In this case, why does Yanzhi still order a bowl for me?" ”
Xie Jinlan just smiled mysteriously: "The main function of this bowl of bean curd is not for you to eat." ”
"Douhua is coming!" As soon as the proprietress finished speaking, a bowl of bean curd sprinkled with a little green onion was put in front of Master Chen.
"Boss, you've been open for a few years, haven't you?" Xie Jinlan opened his mouth and called the proprietress who was about to leave.
"Yes, I've been selling breakfast here for more than ten years with my family."
The proprietress said, her eyes fell on the man who was busy in front of the stall, and her eyes were full of happiness.
Xie Jinlan leaned forward with a look of interest: "Boss, I like to hear those strange things the most. Have you ever been here, anything funny or weird has happened here? ”
The proprietress turned her eyes and found that there were no new guests, so she sat down at Xie Jinlan's table: "Young man, you can ask the right person." ”
Xie Jinlan's eyes lit up instantly.
His appearance greatly satisfied the vanity of the proprietress .
"Don't talk about it far away, just say that it has happened in recent times."
The proprietress said, raised her hand and pointed to the house not far ahead, looking mysterious: "Do you know who lives there?" ”
Xie Jinlan looked puzzled: "Isn't that the mansion outside the king?" Could it be that there is something wrong in this house? ”
The proprietress nodded affirmatively: "Not really!" Didn't Wang Yuanwai invite a carpenter to repair some hand-copying verandah in the house during this time? ”
Xie Jinlan asked in a timely manner: "Things are old, should I invite someone to repair them, isn't it a normal thing?" ”
The proprietress said: "It's strange, this hand-copying verandah was supposed to be good, but overnight, several pillars suddenly collapsed!" ”
Master Chen's book looked like he was out of the way, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words: "There is such a strange thing? ”
Seeing that Master Chen was also interested in what he said, the proprietress looked even more proud:
"Not really! It was a lot of movement! Me and my family were woken up! ”
Xie Jinlan then asked: "And then?" Did you find anything as a result? ”
The proprietress said, "How else is it a strange thing?" I heard that until now, Wang Yuanwai has not found out what is going on. But everybody said......"
Seeing that Xie Jinlan and Master Chen's eyes were focused on herself, the proprietress raised her chin a little proudly, then motioned for the two to come closer, and said in a low voice:
"Everyone says that Wang Tianci is too lawless on weekdays, this is God's warning to the Wang family!"
Xie Jinlan was puzzled: "Why haven't I heard about this?" ”
The proprietress waved her hand casually: "Hey, this thing is so embarrassing, where will Wang Yuanwai let people spread it?" Those of us who know the inside story only dare to talk about it in private. ”
