Section 190 Chapter 190 Who is in the carriage

Since its opening, Piaoxiang Distillery has been smooth sailing, and business is getting better day by day. Yuan Musheng, as the shopkeeper, was very proud and proud. But he didn't expect that during the time when Lu Xiang'er didn't come to Piaoxiang Wine Shop, such a thing happened in the wine shop.

Looking at the shed at the entrance of the winery, or the smug faces in the shed, Yuan Musheng calmly entered the winery. And after entering the door, he dared to show the sorrow on his face. With his hands behind his back, Yuan Musheng looked at the wine jar in the wine shop, and a feeling of gloom suddenly rose in his heart. Lu Xiang'er trusted him so much that she handed over the Ruoda wine shop to him to take care of. He couldn't even deal with the outside affairs, and Yuan Musheng was a little disheartened.

"Shopkeeper, the little one is back." Yuan Musheng was thinking about it, when Huang Chuan lifted the curtain on the back door and walked in.

Yuan Musheng saw that it was Huang Chuan, and immediately strode forward and said hurriedly: "The little lady is here, she is there, I want to talk to her." ”

"Shopkeeper Yuan, the little lady is in the crowd outside. She said she would take a look at it first, and then come back to the shop later. Xiao Wu, who was following behind Huang Chuan, heard Yuan Musheng's words, so he said what Lu Hong had ordered.

Yuan Musheng was stunned, and immediately turned around and walked to the window to look out. But the three sheds outside blocked the door of the shop, and Yuan Musheng didn't see it very clearly. Yuan Musheng pondered in his heart for a while before turning around and saying, "Xiao Wu, you go to the back." Don't let anyone in the shed outside see it, I'll go out and have a look. ”

"Xiao Wu knows, shopkeeper Yuan, please take care of yourself." Xiao Wu hugged Yuan Musheng with a fist, then turned around and entered the back living room.

Yuan Musheng stood at the door, straightened his clothes, took a deep breath, and walked out of the wine shop again. The people in the three sheds outside the winery were all paying attention to the winery, and when they saw Yuan Musheng walking out, they all laughed again. The middle-aged fat man in the middle shed dressed in brocade clothes also said: "Shopkeeper Yuan came out again so soon, did he want to invite us to the wine shop to eat a warm pot when he saw us outside and was freezing outside?" ”

"Boss Zou, don't be whimsical. Piaoxiang Wine Shop wants to force us peers to death, and you still expect him to invite you to dinner. In the shed on the left, a pale middle-aged man with Erlang's legs crossed and an abnormal face snorted disdainfully and didn't look at Yuan Musheng.

As for the leader in the shed on the right, it was an old man dressed simply. He glanced at Yuan Musheng, shook his head and said, "Shopkeeper Yuan, at this point, you still invite Boss Lu here." You can't be the master, so why bother to die here. ”

Listening to the words from the mouths of the three people, Yuan Musheng acted as if he hadn't heard anything, but inadvertently swept through the crowd. Suddenly, Yuan Musheng saw what he wanted to see, so he said loudly: "Boss Zou, Boss Wang, Boss Bai, Yuan Moujing, you are a well-known figure in the Beijing Division, but don't deceive people too much." ”

Yuan said again, this soju was originally from Piaoxiang Liquor Workshop. If our boss wants to produce this shochu himself, what about you? But now, our boss wants all his peers to brew this shochu, but he only collects some shares, which is already benevolent. Isn't it shameless that you still want to get the soju craft with just one mouth? ”

As soon as Yuan Musheng's voice fell, he swept back and forth on the three of them with an obvious look of contempt. The people who had been watching for two days were 'buzzing' and began to talk to each other. Before, when these three bosses came to the winery, Yuan Musheng never said these things in front of outsiders, and the three of them thought that he was a person who was afraid of things. Unexpectedly, Yuan Musheng didn't know that he had taken the wrong medicine at this time, and he actually said it in front of so many people.

Listening to the discussions of the people around them, and seeing their disdainful looks, the faces of the three people were red and blue. Among them, the middle-aged man with a pale face and a surname Wang was obviously a little angry, pointed at Yuan Musheng and said: "The surname Yuan, this soju is a feat of our liquor shop, but you Piaoxiang Liquor Shop can't monopolize the soju, and you want to make a big profit from it, so how much can we earn in addition to the capital." You Piaoxiang Wine Shop is not trying to force us to death, what is it? ”

"It's just a rhetoric." Lu Hong, who was standing behind Lu Xiang'er, heard Boss Wang's words, and his chest began to rise and fall non-stop. If Lu Xiang'er hadn't asked him to wait with Chaoxia to see who was behind the scenes, Lu Hong would have rushed out to refute this shameless person.

The chubby Boss Zou who spoke first, after Boss Wang finished speaking, followed and said: "Shopkeeper Yuan, what Boss Wang said is right, now we can't eat in the wine shop." If you Boss Lu don't come out to solve the problem, we can only eat and live at the door of your Piaoxiang Wine Shop. ”

Yuan Musheng, who received Lu Xiang'er's gesture, glanced at the three bosses deeply, and said loudly: "Three bosses, if we refuse to give you the soju process for free, will you always be like this and will not back down?" ”

Yuan Musheng's words were straightforward, and the three bosses immediately glanced at each other, but they didn't make a sound. There's no way, but there are so many people watching outside, and they can't answer straightforwardly, their own faces. In the end, Boss Bai, who was dressed simply, got up and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Yuan, I still say the same thing, you can't be the master, let's go and ask Boss Lu." ”

"Xiang'er, why do you think they have to see you?" There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, but Chaoxia and Lu Xiang'er were talking very lowly, except for the two old men who had been paying attention to the three of them, no one really heard the conversation of the three people.

When Lu Xiang'er heard Chaoxia's inquiry, she thought of something, and quickly sighed softly: "Because someone wants them to push me in front of everyone and humiliate me in public." Or, another hero to save the beauty or something. ”

"Xiang'er, what did you find?" Lu Hong listened to Lu Xiang'er's tone, his heart moved, and he stepped forward to the other side of Lu Xiang'er.

Lu Xiang'er turned her head, gestured to the crowd on the left, and said softly, "Look over there." There was a carriage parked there, and if I read that correctly, it was remodeled. I am afraid that the carriage can be transformed into something like this, which is not something that ordinary people can do. Such a person, but here for more than an hour, is it too idle. ”

"It looks like a carriage in the palace." Lu Hong and Chaoxia had good eyesight, and they quickly recognized the specially modified axles of the carriage. Having sat in the carriage renovated by Huo Qingsong and Song Yuan, Lu Hong and Chaoxia are very familiar with it, and this kind of axle can only be obtained by people from the Ministry of Engineering.

Thinking of the palace, Lu Hong's face was full of anger again, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's Princess Jingrou again." ”

"Brother, I'm afraid it's not just Princess Jingrou this time." Lu Xiang'er shook her head, looked at the three bosses again, and said calmly: "With Princess Jingrou's temperament, how could she go to associate with these merchants who are full of 'copper smell'. And those three people are the owners of the three major liquor shops in the East Market, the East Market......"

"Higashi?" Lu Hong and Chaoxia listened to Lu Xiang'er's tone, and immediately thought about the background of these three people in their hearts. After a while, the two of them thought of the three major wineries in the East Market, but they specialized in serving wine to the palace wine merchants, and it was the household department that was responsible for the transaction between them and the palace. As he thought about it more deeply, Lu Hong and Chaoxia looked at each other, and their faces couldn't help but change slightly, and they said softly: "Is it His Royal Highness the Second Prince?!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the two old men who were getting closer to the three of them behind them also changed their faces, and they could see the surprise in each other's eyes when they glanced at each other. One of the older men nodded to the middle-aged man beside him, and the man immediately withdrew from the crowd. Soon, after he came back, he said what to do between the two elders, and the two couldn't hide the brilliance in their eyes and looked at Lu Xiang'er.

The older one said regretfully: "It's good that I came back early, it's a pity that such a good girl gave it to the cold-faced boy." ”

"What's wrong with the cold noodle boy, the girl is excellent, and the cold noodle boy is not bad." The younger ones looked at Lu Xiang'er with a smile in their eyes and a beard. Looking at the look on his face again, he was obviously very proud. And when the older man saw this, he was a little angry, raised the corners of his eyes, pouted and said, "Don't be complacent, when I find evidence, things will turn around." ”

When the younger one heard this, his face froze, he glanced at the people around him, and hummed: "How can there be such a coincidence, whimsical." ”

The two old men were arguing there, and Lu Xiang'er and the three of them were not idle here. Looking at the three sheds in front of the wine shop, Lu Hong said in a low voice: "Xiang'er, if your guess is correct, these three people are probably not up to the end of the day, do you want me to go to Brother Huo or my father." ”

"No, wait." Lu Xiang'er shook her head, glanced at the carriage that hadn't moved yet, and said in a low voice: "The carriage hasn't left yet, obviously the people in the carriage already know that I am in the crowd." I'm going to drag that person and let that person see that I, Lu Xiang'er, is not unprotected. ”

After hearing this, Chaoxia suddenly remembered something and looked behind her. Feeling Chaoxia's gaze sweeping, the two old men immediately shrank their bodies, allowing the people in front of them to block them. And Chaoxia's gaze also withdrew from their position at this time.

Lu Hong felt strange in his heart, so he also looked around, but found nothing, and then said softly: "Sister Chaoxia, what are you looking at?" ”

"When I got out of the carriage before, I felt as if someone was watching us secretly. However, there was no malice in that gaze, and I didn't care. Chaoxia looked at Lu Xiang'er, and continued: "Listening to Xiang'er at this time, those people should be the people sent by Huo Qingsong to secretly protect Xiang'er." ”

"Well, on the night of my brother's palace exam, he said that he would send someone to protect me in secret." Lu Xiang'er nodded, but there was some warmth in her eyes. At the beginning, when Huo Qingsong said it, Lu Xianger didn't agree to come, saying that she didn't want anyone to peep at her in secret. Now it seems that Huo Qingsong's move is still right.

Only then did Lu Hong understand why Lu Xiang'er had been standing in the crowd, even if her face was flushed, she didn't take the initiative to attack like before, it turned out that she was waiting for Huo Qingsong. It's okay like this, it's not suitable for Lu Xiang'er to be close to Lu, and she always shows up, especially in this kind of place where people talk a lot.
