Chapter 20: Secret Guard Zhao Yang
Lanshan College is a day off every 50th day. That is to say, for every four days of class, the disciples have a day off.
The second day of the Keju competition was the rest day, Jiang Shuli got up early, freshened up and dressed up to go to Shou'an Hall to accompany the old lady to dinner.
"Green paper," fastened the embroidered purse containing the small gray stone, Jiang Shuli asked in a low voice, "What time did Zhao Yang say that he was waiting for me in Ruihengchang?" ”
Qing Paper hurriedly replied in a low voice, "Miss, Zhao Yang said that he would wait in Ruihengchang this morning to see when it was convenient for Miss to come over." ”
Jiang Shuli thought for a while when she heard this, "Let's go to Shou'an Hall first." ”
When I arrived in front of Shou'an Hall, I saw that the second wife Luo Shi and Jiang Shuqi were already standing in front of the hall and waiting.
"I've seen the second aunt." Jiang Shuli took a few steps forward and made a salute.
Luo Che was full of smiles, looking very refreshed, "I still see my second aunt like this, hurry up." You kid is really filial, every time Xiu Mu comes to accompany the ancestor for breakfast, unlike Shuqi, a lazy girl," she said as she stretched out her hand surrounded by pearls and emeralds to point at Jiang Shuqi who was listless next to her, and the red and glamorous Kodan poked Jiang Shuqi's forehead, "From now on, Shuqi will have to study like you, and come to accompany the ancestor a lot." ”
Jiang Shuqi was dissatisfied with her mother talking about her like this in front of people, so she pouted and stomped her feet, "Mother! ”
"Gotcha! I can't talk about you for my mother," Luo's eyes are full of love, she has taken over the middle feed these days, and her mood has been very good, "If you have half of your eldest sister, you can rest assured that you are a mother." ”
Jiang Shuqi couldn't help but roll his eyes, he wanted to refute, but remembered that Luo had promised to invite someone to order her a set of the most popular daylily embroidered flower skirt for a while, so he shut up.
Soon Mama Li greeted her and led a group of people to the dining room.
After breakfast, Jiang Shuli and Jiang Shuqi helped the old lady back to the main hall left and right, and after the old lady sat down and used tea, Jiang Shuli smiled and said, "Grandmother, yesterday I chatted with my mother about the interesting things of my eldest brother's childhood, and mentioned that my eldest brother loved to eat Rui Hengchang's small sesame oil shortbread when he was a child, and I immediately missed the taste of the small sesame oil shortbread. ”
"Isn't it!" The old lady smiled happily, "Your eldest brother really loved to eat those small sesame oil shortbreads when he was a child, and he always yelled for people to go out of the house to buy them, and he ate with a mouth full of oil, and my grandmother now thinks about it as if it was yesterday." ”
"So take advantage of today's rest," Jiang Shuli smiled and took the old lady's hand, "Grandmother, I want to go out of the house to Narui Hengchang to buy some snacks in a while, okay?" ”
"But you want to make your mother happy?" The old lady smiled and patted Jiang Shuli's hand, knowing that she had spent a lot of thought in order to take care of Ouyang's Jiang Shuli these days.
Jiang Shuli raised her little face, winked and smiled, "Of course it's not just that, Shuli still remembers that grandmother likes to eat Rui Hengchang's mixed bean rice cakes, and is ready to buy them together to make grandmother happy!" ”
Jiang Shuqi was beside Nunuzui, thinking that the dim sum chef invited in the house made the dim sum was much more delicious than the outside, and Jiang Shuli's sweet mouth would make her grandmother happy, so that she was always ignored by her grandmother.
Seeing this, Luo sighed, "Look, this is the second aunt's negligence, Shuli wants to eat Rui Hengchang's dim sum, just give an order, why don't you go out of the house to buy it in person?" The second aunt called someone to buy it back. ”
"Thank you, second aunt, but Shuli still wants to go in person," Jiang Shuli bowed and said gently, "It is more appropriate to buy snacks for grandmother and mother-in-law, or to go out in person." Plus today's rest, there is also time. ”
Ruihengchang, a century-old brand in Tianhao City, is located on Lin'an Street, the most lively street in Tianhao City, and is a two-story small building with a red wall of Wuwa.
The ground floor is filled with a variety of snacks for guests to go and buy. On the second floor, there is a private lobby room where guests can drink tea and snacks.
Jiang Shuli went up to the second floor to report the name of the private room, and was respectfully led to the door of the private room by the little maid.
Stepping into the private room, I saw a man in a strong suit bowing and standing, kneeling down on one knee and saluting her, "Zhao Yang has seen the master." ”
"Hurry up, please." Jiang Shuli looked at Zhao Yang carefully, he was not too tall, his facial features were upright, he was strong and strong, he didn't know what realm his cultivation was, with Jiang Shuli's current level of practicing qi, he couldn't see through him.
Eight plates of delicate dim sum were placed on the table in the private room, and Jiang Shuli, who served the green paper, sat down and poured tea for her.
"Zhao Yang, sit down and talk." Jiang Shuli smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and pointed to the opposite position, only to see Zhao Yang shake his head and arch his hand in response, "Thank you, master, the etiquette must not be exceeded." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Shuli didn't force it, nodded and said, "Cousin Ye handed you over to me, and from now on, I will be your master." I'm still young, so if there's anything wrong, please be blunt and remind me. ”
"The little ones don't dare to be." Zhao Yang gave his hand again, and then stood still.
"I'd like to hear what you're doing so far." Jiang Shuli stretched out his hand and twisted a piece of dim sum, eating it in small bites, looking like he was listening.
"Yes," Zhao Yang said respectfully, "There are a total of twenty members of our secret guard group, and most of them are currently scattered in the various shops of Master Ye. He took out a small stack of papers from his arms and handed it to Jiang Shuli, "This is what Master Ye ordered the small one to give to the master." ”
Jiang Shuli took it and opened it to take a look, and was stunned, it turned out to be the deed of each store. These include Rui Hengchang dim sum shop, Diancui Pavilion jewelry shop, high roller restaurant, an inn, etc., two of which are century-old shops, and the rest are also well-known and well-run shops in the city.
"Give me all this?" Jiang Shuli raised her eyebrows with a little doubt.
Zhao Yang nodded, "Yes, these deeds have been kept in the hands of the little one, and the master Ye will explain to the little one to be handed over to the master." The deed has been registered with the government and the name of the master. ”
Jiang Shuli bowed her head, her heart was full of emotion for Ouyang Ye's heart, she paused and said, "Did you check the matter last time?" ”
"Back to the master, the current second master of Yulanfang, Mrs. Zhou, is a widow, she is from Hengzhou, and her family also opened an embroidery workshop when she was in Hengzhou." Zhao Yang sorted out the information and said, "After her man died half a year ago, she came to the capital from Hengzhou alone and began to take care of Yulanfang. ”
"Have you found out who is the big boss of Magnolia Fang?"
Zhao Yang shook his head, "This week, in addition to taking care of business, it is rare to see anyone to contact. However, two days ago, a small servant in Mrs. Zhou's family left the capital in a hurry, and I have already sent two secret guards to follow, and I will inform the master as soon as there is any news. ”
Jiang Shuli nodded, it seems that this Magnolia Fang is a hard bone, "Okay, Yulanfang and Zhou Pozi will continue to stare at it, and tell me if there is any change." The rest of the manpower, how do you plan to arrange it next? ”
"The small suggestion is like this, and I ask the master to see if it is suitable." Zhao Yang said bluntly, "Half of the manpower of these shops in the master's hands can be withdrawn and placed in the master's mansion to protect the master's safety, and some people can also be placed outside." ”
Jiang Shuli bowed his head and thought for a moment and said, "In the Changning Marquis Mansion, arrange for one person to go to my mother's Xilan Garden, one person in my Biyun Pavilion, one person in my brother's Hongyun Xuan, and another person in the Mansion. In the city or out of town, you can make arrangements according to the situation. ”
