Uncle Zhong has always been neat, and within a few days, he set up a six-chen shop. The shop opened on Xiling'an Street, which can be described as a prime location for every inch of land, but because the former owner got into a lawsuit, he urgently needed silver to dot it, and met the owner who was interested in taking over and was not stingy.

However, the guys in the store were very worried, although they had been in contact with Uncle Zhong before, but they didn't know what kind of character and temperament the new owner was, they discussed it privately, if the other party was good, they would continue to stay, if it was not good, they would quit together.

Early in the morning of this day, Liu Laosi, the housekeeper and bookkeeper in the shop, and the two guys of Hang Da and Hang Er, packed their luggage early and waited anxiously for the arrival of the new owner.

Liu Laosi was looking through the account book restlessly behind the counter, and listened to Hang Er, who had been looking at the door: "It's coming, it's coming, the new owner is here." ”

He bothered himself and went to the door to greet him.

I saw a kind old man stop at the door, it was Uncle Zhong who came to see the shop before, and there was a girl with bright eyes and bright teeth next to him, who looked like his granddaughter in age, but looking at the atmosphere between the two, it was a little different.

He couldn't help but look behind them again, but he didn't see the others. Could it be that the new owner didn't come?

The two brothers, Hang Da and Hang Er, peeked at the girl from time to time. The girl was the same age as them, and she was beautiful, so they couldn't help but look at her twice.

Zhong Bo introduced: "Manager Liu, this one next to me is the new owner of our 'world's first'. ”

Liu Laosi didn't expect that he had been doing business for many years, and it was the first time he had seen such a young shopkeeper, and he was still a girl. He restrained his surprise and said, "Two of you, please come inside." ”

Song Ran smiled and nodded at him, and when he passed in front of Hang Da and Hang Er, he paused: "You are twins?" Which is bigger and which is smaller? ”

The two brothers suddenly asked for her, and their faces burned, but Hang Er came back to his senses first: "I'm younger, my name is Hang Yuan, and the owner can call me Hang Er." This is my brother. ”

He slapped his brother next to him with his elbow, and the other party hurriedly said: "I'm Hang Yu, and the owner calls me Hang Da." ”

The two brothers were almost carved out of a mold, and ordinary people were only afraid that it would be difficult to distinguish in a short time, but she smiled and said, "I wrote it down." ”

As she spoke, she looked around, the shop was small, but it was quite bright, and all the goods were well kept. On the left is firewood, rice, oil and salt, and on the right is groceries, and all the goods are clearly marked with prices next to them. She walked to the counter, flipped through the account book casually, and inadvertently saw the three burdens behind the counter, and her eyebrows moved slightly.

Liu Laosi walked to her side and spoke: "Girl, the accounts of the shop are settled once a year, and the balance of the previous year is returned to the old owner, this is the account of a month since this year, please take a look." ”

He called her a girl, not a host, which gave people a very subtle feeling.

Song Ran closed the account book and said, "I looked, there was a surplus of more than 20 taels last month, and you take ten taels of these more than 20 taels, and the rest belongs to Hang Da and Hang Er, which is your hard-earned money." ”

Hang Er was very happy at first glance, their monthly salary was less than one tael of silver, which was not a small amount, but seeing that the expressions of his brother and Steward Liu were a little heavy, he reacted.

Could this be the meaning of sending them away......

Who knows, the girl said: "From next month onwards, everyone's salary will remain the same, and if the surplus at the end of the month exceeds twenty taels, each person will add another tael, how about it?" ”

The twin brothers were overjoyed and said, "Thank you, owner!" ”

Liu Laosi still didn't say a word. She is a girl's family, can she really manage the store well? Besides, it's not good for a girl's family to show up.

She seemed to know how to read minds, and said to him: "Steward Liu, I don't know business, in the future, this store will be handed over to you to take care of, although the shopkeeper has changed, but how to do business is still in accordance with the previous rules." ”

She not only gave him full trust, but also showed that she would not meddle in business, Liu Laosi made up his mind and said to Hang Er: "Don't take the owner to go shopping." "I want to quit my job, so I don't mention it.

After leaving the shop, he went to the tailor's shop on Walang Street by the way, and Song Ran stood aside, waiting for Uncle Zhong to agree with the tailor on the day to get the clothes. Suddenly I heard the sound of chaotic footsteps, only to feel that the light in the house was dim, and three or four people came in, lining the already cramped storefront.

Brocade clothes and swords, official dress.

In addition to the forbidden army, there are only the Yamen of the Tingwei Division, so the people who work for the Tingwei Division are all called Jinyilang.

The old tailor hurriedly greeted him: "How many adults...... What's the point? ”

Song Ran stood beside him, and saw the leader of Jin Yilang shake out a portrait, with a serious face: "Can you see this person?" ”

The old tailor stepped forward to identify it carefully, and shook his head: "The grass people have never seen this person, dare to ask your lord, who is this?" ”

The other party's tone was blunt: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask." As he spoke, he showed the portraits to the customers in the store in turn, and when he walked in front of Song Ran, his eyes couldn't help but stop on her face for a few more moments. The girl in front of her is not powdered, but her eyebrows are like a painting.

Seeing her shake her head in denial, he looked away from her face and instructed his entourage: "Search me carefully!" ”

Although the old tailor felt sorry for the clothes that had been torn up by them, he did not dare to stop them, and shrank aside. When they didn't find any clues to leave, they rushed forward to put things in the right place. The junior apprentice leaned over and whispered, "Master, are they looking for Master Shangshu who has escaped from prison?" ”

"It doesn't matter who they look for, why don't you go and hand over the note to the guest!"

Just about to open his mouth to scold, the leader of the brocade lang suddenly went back and walked in front of Song Ran: "I don't know the girl's surname, where does she live?" ”

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the tailor scolded in his heart: "These days the brocade clothes are going to harm the girl of the good family." ”

I saw that the girl looked up at each other and smiled meekly: "Rashly inquiring about the name of the girl's family, the adult is a little rude." ”

The old tailor's hand shook to arrange her clothes, and she was anxiously reminded: "Girl......"

The other party's hand pressed on the scabbard and looked at her condescendingly: "I saw that the girl was a little familiar with the girl, so I asked this question, if you are offended, please bear with the girl." It seems that he recognized the wrong person and said goodbye. ”

After speaking, she didn't dwell on it, she turned around and left, and it was already raining outside, and the tall figure in brocade clothes quickly disappeared from her field of vision.

She turned her head and sighed, "Uncle Zhong, we didn't bring an umbrella. ”

The old tailor admired her courage when he saw her so calm, but he couldn't help but remind her: "The girl will stay away from those brocade clothes in the future, they can do everything." ”

She disagreed: "I don't think the adult is very scary. It's just that I didn't expect it to rain as soon as I said it. ”

The old tailor saw that her focus had not been right, and he was a little helpless, and said: "There is an umbrella in the store, the girl can use it, and she will come back when she is free." ”

Song Ran nodded in thanks, and asked Zhong Bo to take an umbrella with the apprentice, and left the shop with his feet.

When the master and servant were gone, the old tailor couldn't help but sigh and shake his head.

I don't know whose lady it is, the beauty is beautiful, but there is a little bit of tendon.

In the market outside the door, Zhong Bo held an umbrella above Song Ran's head, and when he saw Jin Yilang's family knocking on the door one by one along the way, he couldn't help but sigh: "Lord Xiao is in danger of this robbery, I don't know if I can escape smoothly, I hope there are nobles to help me......"

Hearing this, Song Ran held his chin and pondered.

After a long time, he said: "Uncle Zhong, I want to drink mutton soup today." ”

The rain continued until evening, and before midnight, it was so overcast that no light could be seen. The whole world was dark and cold, except for the lanterns hanging under the porch, revealing a slight warmth.

Those brocade clothes searched here, but they didn't find anyone, but they made a mess of the yard and room, Zhong Bo complained a few times, and went to the kitchen to get busy, while Song Ran washed his face and went back to the room to change clothes.

As soon as she closed the door, she sensed the strange aura behind her. Her eyesight is poor, but her other senses are more sensitive than normal.

The body entered a state of alert, but the tone was calm: "The silver ticket is hidden under the pillow, and the jewelry is in the table box, if you come for this, you can take it and leave the ...... through the window" A hand choked her throat bone, cold fingers trembled slightly, and she slowly hugged the clothes in her arms, "It seems that the gentleman is not here." ”

Behind her came a man's voice, and she could feel him soaking wet as his back was pressed against his chest. His teeth seemed to chatter, "You...... Don't be afraid. ”

He hid in the well for a long time in order to hide from those brocade langs, and finally waited for them to leave, his body had reached the limit, he panicked and touched the nearest room, but he didn't expect it to be her boudoir.

Hearing this, Song Ran relaxed, and asked tentatively, "Childe is the person who those Jinyi Lang are looking for?" ”

Looking down, there was already a pool of blood under his feet, and there was still blood dripping down. It seems that he was not lightly injured.

He didn't answer her question, and a slight heavy breath fell into her ear.

After a while, he said in a hoarse voice, "Offended." ”

Song Ran spoke before he knocked him unconscious: "Wait...... Childe put me down, and there was Uncle Zhong outside. Uncle Zhong is old, but with Gongzi's current situation, he may not be able to beat him. Even if he is lucky and beats Uncle Zhong, according to the situation of the son at this time, he will inevitably lose too much blood and his life will be worried. If Gongzi leaves this place at this time, he will not be able to go far, and the arresters of the Tingwei Division are still searching in Chongwenmen, and Gongzi weighs the pros and cons, and should not cut off his only way out. ”

She was a little anxious and finished these words in one breath.

I don't know if he listened, but the hand holding her throat was obviously loose, he tried his best to stand firm, his consciousness was a little far away, and asked her, "What do you mean by retreat?" ”

She breathed a sigh of relief: "What if I'm a good person and willing to help you?" Outside of this house, there are guards everywhere. Since both horizontal and vertical are at the end of their ropes, why not gamble on the child? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden knock on the door. She could feel the man's body tense up in an instant.

Listening to the movement, it was the right people who went and returned.

It's the worst of all.

"Childe, it's better not to act rashly." She spoke, her tone calm and soothing, "Leave it to Uncle Zhong to deal with." ”
