Chapter 126: Someone Else
Xia Jin saw it and was amazed in his heart.
This Luo Yu is really hard. In order to seduce the little girl Cen Ziman, he actually betrayed his hue and performed a live-action catwalk, isn't he afraid of slipping under his feet but showing his foreign appearance?
She turned her head and glanced at Cen Ziman.
Although they have not been dating for a long time and do not know each other deeply, judging from the banquet at the Xuanping Houfu that day, this girl does not seem to like this kind of pretentious thing. But girl's feelings are always poetry, who can say whether Luo Yu's crooked trick will move her?
It seems that she has to give Luo Yu a gift back.
Thinking so, Xia Jin glanced at Su Muxian.
Although Cen Ziman likes to dance with guns and sticks, but those are all fighting skills on the ancient battlefield, she has no internal strength, even if Xia Jin does her hands and feet, she can't see it. Now the one who has to scruple is Su Muxian, this kid. This kid has martial arts, and he is simple, so don't shout out about her bad things.
Su Muxian felt her gaze and turned his head to look at it.
Xia Jin didn't avoid it, but glanced at him fixedly, and the warning in his eyes was very meaningful.
Su Mu blinked blankly, not understanding what Xia Jin meant.
Xia Jin ignored him, bent down slightly, picked up a stone on the ground, and hid it in the palm of his hand.
When Su Muxian saw her move, his eyes widened suddenly, and he turned his head to look at Luo Yu in the distance, and then looked at Xia Jin.
Xia Jin glared at him vigorously, and then raised his wrist......
"Plop", Luo Yu, who was pretending to be suave in the distance, didn't seem to be able to step on his feet, and fell directly to the front, pounced on.
"Childe, Childe." The boy who followed behind couldn't care about posing anymore, threw down the piano in his hand and stepped forward to support his son-in-law.
Luo Yu fell hard this time. There are many small stones on the banks of the brook. With this fall, the shirt on his knees was torn, revealing two large holes; His hands were propped up on the ground, scraped by small stones, and he was drenched in blood; The funniest thing is that his mouth happened to kiss the ground, and at this time it was swollen like Zhu Bajie, and there was blood in his nostrils. It looks very embarrassing.
Someone else fell. It is immoral to laugh at others. So Cen Ziman, who has a strict family education, wants to endure it. But Luo Yu's appearance was so funny, she couldn't hold back for a while, and laughed out loud.
"Look. I said, well, it's better not to look at the hen that lays eggs, doesn't this ruin the image? Xia Jin was still on the side.
Xia Jin said this, Cen Ziman seemed to have found a flood outlet. "Hahaha" laughed. The pheasant next to her was startled by her laughter, and flew into the sky from the grass.
Luo Yu on the other end heard Cen Ziman's laughter. Ashamed and angry, he didn't have time to treat the wound, so he covered his face with his sleeve and fled.
At this moment, Cen Ziman laughed even harder, holding his stomach. Scream "ouch".
Su Muxian looked at this scene and was dumbfounded. After a few moments, he turned his head again. Looking at Xia Jin, his eyes were full of surprise. I don't know if I was surprised by Xia Jin's black heart. Still surprised by her hand.
Xia Jin winked innocently at him, stretched his hand out of his sleeve, and on the palm of his hand, which was as slender as an onion root, a small stone was lying quietly. She flipped her fingers, and the pebble was gone.
Su Muxian's eyes widened at this time, he turned his head to look at the place where Luo Yu was wrestling, and then looked at Xia Jin, then he raised his hand and made a gesture of throwing stones, then shook his head, and his handsome brows furrowed.
Cen Ziman was sitting in front of them, and was laughing at this time, while Xue'er was busy rubbing her stomach and didn't see their small movements.
Xia Jin suddenly stood up and walked quickly towards the woods on the right. Her steps were light and brisk, and in the blink of an eye she was gone into the woods and gone.
"Where are you going?" Seeing this, Su Muxian shouted uneasily, and hurriedly stood up and followed. When he saw Xia Jin in the peach grove, Xia Jin was standing under a tree, looking up.
"What's wrong?" Su Muxian also hurriedly walked under the tree and looked up like Xia Jin.
However, the peach tree, which was noticeably taller than the others, had not even a single green leaf on it except for the blooming flowers, let alone anything else.
"Huh." Su Muxian was about to speak, but saw that the branches on the tree had traces of being trampled. He looked down and saw that there were more fallen flowers under the tree than the others, some of them were still a complete flower, not like others, only petals.
"Someone here just now?" Su Muxian said a question, but his tone was very affirmative.
"I didn't do that fall just now." Xia Jin said, she raised her hand, and as soon as her palm turned over, a small stone fell from her hand to the ground, "I was just about to throw the stone out, and the man fell." ”
"Huh?" Su Muxian was surprised.
Xia Jin turned his head to look at him.
"What's wrong?" Su Muxian looked at her inexplicably, "It wasn't me just now, I sat there and didn't move." ”
"Have your business been taken care of? No one is chasing you this time? ”
Su Muxian's expression darkened, and he was about to speak, when he heard Cen Ziman shouting outside: "Miss Xia, cousin, where are you?" ”
"Let's go, get out." Xia Jin hurriedly walked out, and when she saw that Su Muxian was going to go with her, she hurriedly turned her head and warned, "You will go out later." ”
Su Muxian was just about to ask why, when he heard the sound of branches shaking, and turned his head to see that Cen Ziman had already come in.
"You two ......" Cen Ziman was stunned for a moment when he saw Xia Jin and Su Muxian standing together one after the other, quite close.
"I just sensed movement in the woods, so I came over to take a look. Your cousin came along. Xia Jin explained, and walked out directly after speaking, completely ignoring the reaction of Cen Ziman and Su Muxian.
"Oh." Cen Ziman nodded, looked up at Su Muxian deeply, and then followed Xia Jin out.
Su Muxian didn't say anything. Standing there and waiting for Xia Jin and Cen Ziman to walk out of the woods, he slowly followed.
What happened just now not only did not affect Cen Ziman's mood, but made her interest even higher. She sat down, happily ate the cake, and said to Xia Jin: "You just said that you want to open a medicinal restaurant, how to open it, and how much silver each person will pay, you can tell me quickly." ”
"You're going to open a medicinal restaurant?" Su Mu asked casually, and then said with great interest, "Take me, I'll have a copy too." ”
Zhiwei Zhai is on the right track and makes some money, and Xia Jin has been thinking about opening a medicinal restaurant. In ancient times, the seasoning was incomplete, and the cooking method was also single. Move those modern famous dishes and medicinal dishes to open a restaurant, and don't make money too quickly.
It's just that she doesn't want to cooperate too much with Luo Qian, too much cooperation, too deep involvement, she will become Luo Qian's personal treasurer, and when she wants to get out of his control, I'm afraid it will be difficult. Dividing the eggs into several baskets and letting the forces contain each other and maintain balance is the self-preservation strategy of her, a little common man.
So Cen Ziman said that he wanted to do business, which was simply drowsy and met with a pillow, which was exactly what Xia Jin wanted. Su Muxian is a relative of the Cen family and the prince of Houfu, so it is not bad to participate in it.
"Okay, you can make one too." She replied nonchalantly.
"Then you talk about it, talk about it specifically." Cen Ziman didn't eat anything, and looked at Xia Jin intently with shining eyes.
"Actually, there is nothing to say, just to find a larger shop, preferably two floors. Then train the cooks, come up with some special dishes, recruit some guys, and open the business. ”
Xia Jin said, estimating the expenses, "I use the recipe to buy shares, and carry out specific management, plus one hundred taels of silver, accounting for sixty percent of the restaurant's shares; Each of you shall take a hundred taels of silver, and each of you shall take twenty percent of the shares. You don't have an opinion on that, right? ”
"No opinion, no opinion." Cen Ziman shook his head like a rattle.
Su Muxian hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't have that much silver." ”
Xia Jin looked at him in surprise.
Luo Weitao is not a big official, and there are more favored concubines in the family, Luo Qian took one hundred and fifty taels of silver out, and he didn't blink his eyes. Su Mu is a prince of Houfu, he won't even be able to take out a hundred taels of silver, right?
"My cousin is on the guest side, and he has to pay some money back and forth, and he doesn't have so much cash on hand. His share, I helped him out. Cen Ziman waved his hand heroically, and after speaking, he winked at Su Muxian playfully, "Cousin, remember to return me when you return to Beijing." ”
Su Muxian's ears were slightly red, his face was full of embarrassment, and he said, "You can just borrow me fifty taels, and I will definitely pay you back when I return to Beijing." ”
"Okay." Cen Ziman agreed very simply.
After saying this, Cen Ziman asked Xia Jin about his plan and what recipes he had. The three of them chatted for a while, and then went home.
When they went back, the three of them deliberately didn't take the same path, but avoided the place where Lin Yun and they had a poetry meeting, and went out on a long detour.
When she came out, Cen Ziman picked up Xia Jin in a carriage, and when she went back, she sent Xia Jin home again, and then asked the coachman to drive away.
Xia Jin watched Cen Ziman and Su Muxian's carriage leave, entered the gate, and was about to go to Qingzhi Pavilion. Halfway through, I listened to Aunt Lu, Calamus's mother, say: "Girl, Calamus and her father received a message from Luofu, saying that after you come back, you will go to the small courtyard in the south of the city." ”
Xia Jin stopped and asked, "Who is the messenger, go and ask clearly." ”
The only one who asked her to go to the small courtyard in the south of the city was Luo Qian. But at this time, Luo Qian was in the peach forest.
Aunt Lu had already asked, and said unhurriedly: "It's Butler Yu." ”
"Did Steward Yu come personally, or did he send someone?"
"He came in person."
Xia Jin nodded and said to Aunt Lu, "I know, I'll go in a while." Then he instructed Calamus, "Go and tell Cistanche to prepare, and go out with me." ”
"Yes." Calamus turned and ran towards the courtyard where the man lived.
When Xia Jin came out in men's clothes, Dong Fang was already dressed as a small servant and was waiting at the second gate. And Lu Liang also prepared the carriage and stopped at the gate.
However, Shu Shi saw that Xia Jin had just returned home and was going out again, so he asked, "Why do you want to go out again?" ”
"Mother, I have something." Xia Jin said perfunctorily and hurriedly went out.
"Come back early." Shu Shi shouted after her back. She was worried about letting Xia Jin teach Xing Qingsheng medical skills. (To be continued)
