In the back garden of Duanwang's mansion, Yuan Zhi was coaxing an ice-faced beauty to eat, and someone came to report: "Shizi, the county lord is here." ”

As soon as the words fell, the county lord of Wanhua strode in, and as soon as he saw Yuan Zhi, he threw the handkerchief in his hand.

"What? Shen Ziyi, that kid showed you face again? Yuan Zhi didn't care at all, put the honeydew melon forked with a silver stick in his hand into his mouth, then sat up straight, picked up the handkerchief on his body, and handed it to the peony who hurriedly stepped forward to pick it up.

"It's Lin Xiaozhu's little slut." Lord Wanhua said fiercely, "Cheng Tian hooked Shen Ziyi and ran to the dim sum shop. He turned his head and glared at Yuan Zhi again, "You said you helped me get angry?" It's been more than a month, and there has been no movement! I'm going to make trouble, and you don't allow it! Every time I asked, you said wait, wait. A little cook, how long do you have to wait? ”

Yuan Zhi's eyes narrowed: "You also know that last time, my father was also suspicious of Yuan Tianye, but I sent someone back to check a few times, but I didn't find anything unusual." Yuan Tianye sent opium again, and when my father saw the opium, he was so happy that he threw Yuan Tianye's matter into his mind after two bites, and turned his head and reprimanded me, telling me not to be suspicious, let alone to find trouble with Yuan Tianye and his subordinates. So if you want to fix that Lin Xiaozhu, you have to find a suitable opportunity. Otherwise, let my father know, and I will reprimand him again. ”

"I don't care, now, you have to help me get angry." Lord Wanhua stepped forward, grabbed Yuan Zhi's arm and shook it, "Brother, if you don't help me, I'm going to be angry to death." ”

Yuan Zhi turned his head and shouted into the distance: "Li Sheng." ”

"Childe." A small guy walked over.

"You go and ask someone to check Yuan Tianye's movements."

"Yes." Li Sheng responded, retreated, and ordered someone to go out to inquire about the news. However, it took more than half a day for the guards sent out to return and whisper a few words to him. When Li Sheng heard the news, it was completely different from before. Immediately overjoyed, he hurried back to the inner courtyard, found Yuan Zhi and said, "Childe." There's news. ”

At this time, Yuan Zhi was lazily lying on the rocking chair, sitting in the courtyard, holding a book in his hand and reading. I heard Li Sheng's gift. Without raising his eyelids, he said, "Say." ”

"According to the report of the guards sent out, it is said that Zhen Wuhou is sick again. Yuan Tianye went to the south the morning before yesterday to treat him. Li Shengdao.

Yuan stubbornly raised his eyes, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he squinted and said, "Yuan Tianye, I see that you are crazy, and you don't even pay attention to this prince." This time, Lao Tzu will let you suffer a dumb loss, and you can't tell the bitterness! He stood up from his chair. With a wave of his sleeve, "Let's go." ”

Li Sheng hurriedly followed with several guards.

A few people rode to Suzaku Street and directly entered the Jade Food.

"Lord Shizi, are you here? There are a few new dim sum items in the shop today, and the villain will give them to the prince to taste? As soon as the shopkeeper Zhou saw Yuan Zhi enter the door, he greeted him with twelve points of spirit. The conflict between the county lord of Wanhua and Lin Xiaozhu, he listened to Yuan Wuniang after the dim sum competition. Although Yuan Zhi came a few times and nothing happened, he still didn't dare to take it lightly. Now that Gongzi is not in the capital, Lin Xiaozhu's affairs are also explained by Yuan Cheng, so he is even more careless about this Yuan Zhi.

"Hmm. Serve it. Yuan Zhi walked directly to the inner hall.

"Lord Shizi." There were several noble ladies sitting inside, and when they saw Yuan Zhi coming in, they quickly stood up and saluted Yuan.

Yuan Zhi arched his hand. He smiled a little: "Ladies come to buy snacks?" Madies, please, I'm just tired to have a cup of tea and a snack. After saying that, he found a corner and sat down. Shopkeeper Zhou hurriedly brought a snack and asked Dr. Tea to make a pot of tea.

With Yuan Zhi here, where can the ladies who directly regard this place as an afternoon teahouse still sit still, urging Xiao Er to wrap up the snacks they want, and then leave and leave.

Yuan Zhi didn't see Lin Xiaozhu's figure, and asked, "Why don't you see your little owner?" ”

Shopkeeper Zhou smiled: "Our little proprietor is not feeling well today, so let's rest at home." Otherwise, she wouldn't have come out to greet those ladies just now. ”

"Sick?" Yuan Zhi frowned. But then he unfolded it again, and said, "It's okay, I'll just ask casually." After speaking, he picked up the snacks on the table and ate them slowly. As he said, he ate two pieces of dim sum, drank a cup of tea, and left Yuyuzhai.

Shopkeeper Zhou sent this plague god away and breathed a sigh of relief. Lin Xiaozhu wasn't sick at all, he was just busy decorating the house in the hot pot restaurant around the corner, and he wasn't here.

However, in line with the principle of being cautious and not making a big mistake, the shopkeeper Zhou still told Lin Xiaozhu and Yuan Cheng about it that day.

Lin Xiaozhu frowned and thought for a while, and said, "There shouldn't be anything, right?" Wasn't he like that? It's just that every time I see me, this time I don't see me, and I think it's strange, so I asked. Didn't the other ladies ask too? ”

Shopkeeper Zhou nodded: "That's the same, I don't see anything unusual." ”

"Even so, but Gongzi is not at home, and if he wants to be rude to Miss Lin Xiaozhu, no one can come forward to stop him. So, I think it's best for Xiaozhu girl not to go to the dim sum shop these days. Anyway, the hot pot restaurant is about to open, so you can stay here. Yuan Chengdao.

"Well, that's it." Lin Xiaozhu also felt that Yuan Tianye was not at home, so it was better to be cautious. Without Yuan Tianye coming forward, even if there are secret guards, once something happens, it will not be easy to clash head-on with the guards of Duanwangfu. Yuan Tianye's power must not be exposed before a major incident.

Although the Yuan Mansion and the dim sum shop were all Yuan Tianye's people, the news was like an iron bucket and couldn't get out. But Lin Xiaozhu had to take a carriage from Yuan's Mansion to the hot pot restaurant every morning. The news that she was not sick, but stayed in the hot pot restaurant that was about to open quickly reached Yuan Zhi's ears.

"What a little slut, but he plays with the master in the palm of his hand." The corners of Yuan Zhi's mouth showed an interesting smile, and he waved his hand, "Let's go, go to the store with this son to grab people." ”

The guards who usually followed him to rob women "coaxed" but responded, and followed him out of the door.

In the hot pot restaurant, Lin Xiaozhu looked at the hot pot restaurant he had arranged in the past few days, and was extremely satisfied, and turned his head to ask the shopkeeper of the new store, Mr. Yu: "How about the feedback from the people who sent out to distribute leaflets in the past few days?" ”

Shopkeeper Yu is completely different from Shopkeeper Zhou, who is full of shrewdness. Don't look at him chubby, he looks like an old aunt on the street, but he is shrewd and an ordinary businessman is not his opponent at all, and he is also a martial arts master who kills people without blinking.

Hearing Lin Xiaozhu's question, he squinted his eyes and smiled: "Girl's trick is really fresh, everyone hears that there is a discount, and you can eat so many things with only one or two silver, and you immediately pass it on to the ...... The flyer looked like a baby, and I kept asking when the offer would end. Some people don't have enough to ask for one, and they pretend to be passing by, and they go back and forth several times, and one person wants a few flyers. But as you instructed, the boy who handed out the leaflet didn't give it to him as soon as he saw a familiar face. For this reason, there were several disputes. ”

Lin Xiaozhu laughed: "Aren't I worried that these people will take the leaflets back and use them as toilet paper?" ”

"Rest assured, the boys are all leaflets distributed by well-dressed people, and those people are people who can afford to go to the restaurant."

The two were talking, but they heard someone shouting at the door: "Little bamboo girl, our customized mandarin duck pot has been delivered." ”

"Hey, tell him to bring him in right away." Lin Xiaozhu responded. Immediately afterward, the blacksmith brought in about thirty pots.

Lin Xiaozhu and Shopkeeper Yu hurriedly got busy. Lin Xiaozhu asked someone to check the pots one by one to see if the quality was excellent, and the shopkeeper Yu settled the account and gave the balance to the blacksmith shop.

After sending the people of the blacksmith shop out, watching the little servants move all the pots into the yard for scrubbing, the shopkeeper Yu said again: "Miss Lin, our shop is ready now, just wait for the opening tomorrow." ”

"yes, tomorrow, we'll be busy." Lin Xiaozhu said, his heart full of expectations. The dim sum shop earned 3,000 taels a month, and 30% of her molecules got 900 taels of silver last month. Now there are fifty percent of the hot pot restaurants, and if the money she makes is a little bit more than that of the shop, then in another two or three months, she will be free.

When she thought of this, she was full of energy.

"East ...... Outside, there is a boy riding a tall horse, and his entourage is asking others about our shop. A little guy ran in panting.

Shopkeeper Yu frowned, turned his head and looked at Lin Xiaozhu with an inquiring gaze: "Girl." ”

Lin Xiaozhu smiled and waved his hand: "That's it." If it is the prince of Duanwang, since he can find it here, even if he can hide from today, he can't hide from tomorrow. Let's see what happens to him. ”

In fact, Yuan Tianye was not in the capital most of the time before, and these subordinates also performed their own duties, and they would not panic at all because of Yuan Tianye's absence. But this time, it was different from the past, Gongzi seemed to be very nervous about this Lin Xiaozhu, which made everyone nervous, and it was like a soldier. Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Yu couldn't help but smile helplessly and shook his head. Heroes are sad to pass the beauty level, and this is no exception to their sons.

As he was talking, a small servant came in outside the door and said: "Girl, there is a son outside the door who said that he was the son of Duanwang Shizi, and he came to visit the girl." ”

So polite? Lin Xiaozhu glanced at Shopkeeper Yu, got up and went to the door to greet him. And Yuan Wuniang, who was originally sitting in the kitchen to help, also came out of it at this time and followed Lin Xiaozhu.

"Little bamboo girl, congratulations. What kind of shop are you planning to open? Yuan Zhi shook the fan, looked at the layout of the store, and walked in.

"Open a small restaurant." Lin Xiaozhu gave a salute and said with a smile, "But this place is an ordinary person's business, not a high-end wine shop, otherwise I will definitely invite the prince to appreciate it." (To be continued)
