Chapter 271: On the eve of the rainstorm
The breeze by the moat is blowing, stirring the curtain on the restaurant by the river, and the figures inside are looming. The white-clothed boy took the wine glass handed by the woman opposite with a smile on his face, ready to drink it all.
At the same time, there was the sound of eager footsteps on the stairs, and when she opened the curtain and appeared, she was relieved to see a familiar face, and involuntarily glanced at the woman on the side and secretly observed.
"Young Master." Listening to Zhu's slight salute, he walked to Huan Sheng in two or three days, and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Huan Sheng stopped holding the wine glass and motioned for her. Listening to Zhu purse his lips, he attached his ear to Huan Sheng's side, and whispered a short word, and Huan Sheng's face changed slightly, flashed, and then it was still the same as just now, without a trace of change.
The woman opposite is veiled, her face is like a hibiscus, her skin is like snow, her eyebrows are like willows, and her eyes are more charming than peach blossoms.
Seeing what Zhu and Huan Sheng whispered, Mei Ji stood up, picked up the wine glass and walked to Huan Sheng's side, and said with a smile: "Young Master Liu, why don't you drink this glass of wine?" ”
When Huan Sheng heard this, he still remained as indifferent as ever, pursed his lips and hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and said politely: "Thank you Miss Meiji, Huan Sheng still has important things to do, so I won't bother, drinking this glass of wine is a return gift, the girl's kindness, Huan Sheng can only understand it." ”
"Eh......" Hearing this, Mei Ji stopped Huan Sheng's hand who was about to raise his head to drink, covered his wine glass with one hand, showed a humble smile, and said in a low voice: "Isn't it that Liu Gongzi looks down on Mei Ji as a woman from a humble background?" Today's banquet, Mei Ji inquired in many ways to ask for the help of a few familiar adults, and invited Liu Gongzi to come, Mei Ji knew that her identity could not get close to the body of the child, but Mei Ji has always admired the literati, especially the calligraphy and painting of Liu Gongzi's stunt in the world, and I hope to be able to see the style......
Huan Sheng listened to her words, lowered his eyebrows and glanced at the wine glass covered by her, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a hint of banter, and then disappeared.
Speaking of this, Mei Ji suddenly retracted, withdrew her hand, took a step back, and smiled slightly apologetically: "Childe smiled, the little girl was rude for a while...... This glass of wine, even if Mei Ji has made amends to Childe again, Childe, please drink. ”
Huan Sheng raised his eyebrows and glanced at her, smiled slightly, and whispered that it was okay, then raised his head and drank the wine without hesitation.
The other side.
At the gold shop on West Street, Jin Ge leaned on a chair with her head propped up, drooping her eyelids and flipping through the books in front of her little by little, carefully looking at the drawings on them.
The book was full of gold and silver jewelry, and the man stood slightly bowed beside him, moving from time to time with stiff backs, and occasionally wiping the fine sweat from his forehead.
Sure enough, this Xue Jinge is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, I thought she was here to inquire about the news or buy the news, but I didn't expect to look at the tricks in a serious way, saying that she wanted to choose some jewelry, or accessories.
The guy muttered silently in his heart, hoping that she would finish her election and leave as soon as possible, even if she just asked for any news. Their gold shop is a gold shop on the surface, but it is actually an intelligence bureau that buys and sells news, like a serious gold and silver business is very little, everyone knows it, so few people will come to buy gold and silver jewelry, I didn't expect Xue Jinge to choose jewelry seriously, and she is a person who knows what business their store does, so I really can't tell if she is intentional or unintentional......
If you want to talk about the Xue family, there is no shortage of gold shops. All kinds of businesses are involved, and there are a lot of natural gold numbers, so it stands to reason that even if Jin Ge goes to his own gold number to choose at will, he will not come here to choose.
But Jinge has always played cards according to common sense, her thinking generally does not belong to the category of normal people, she just wants to buy it on a whim, not necessarily.
Ah Song on the side stood up straight, and from time to time he also expressed some opinions with Jin Ge, so he made the guy believe that she really wanted to buy jewelry......
"Okay, that's it." Jin Ge turned around, pointed to a silver lock on the painting and said to the guy, "That's it, I bought it for the soon-to-be-born little Bao'er." ”
Hearing Jin Ge say it, the guy was shocked for a moment, he was not surprised that Jin Ge really wanted to buy it, but surprised that he heard her say "little Bao'er who is about to be born", so is she pregnant? Doesn't that mean that Liu Huansheng already has an heir and is about to be born? This is also big news, and it must sell for a lot of money!
The guy was overjoyed in his heart, silently wrote down the incident, and at the same time promised to go down and get the silver lock for Jinge.
After another period of waiting, Jin Ge glanced at the sky outside, the sunset was falling rapidly, the night was getting darker, and the long street outside was already brightly lit.
When the guy came up with the silver lock, Jin Ge took it and looked at it, and asked, "The price of gold and silver in the store is clearly marked, I wonder if the price on the listing on your desk is also clearly marked?" ”
Hearing that Jin Ge finally asked about the matter, the guy immediately raised a long-lost smile, which can be said to be worth the effort, and finally hoped that she could follow his plan.
"I wonder which one Madame wants to ask? The small ones are presented to the lady for the lady to choose. With that, he turned around and took the tags one by one and put them in front of Jin Ge.
Jin Ge raised her eyebrows and glanced at those signs, she didn't seem to be interested, then looked up at the guy and said, "None of this is needed, I don't care about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, but when I ask about the world, I just want to ask her what she came to get today." ”
After Jin Ge said that, the guy laughed, and then pretended not to know: "Madame said that she was joking, there are not a few people who come to our store today, isn't Madame embarrassed the villain?" ”
"Sorry for you? Aren't you amazing? Jin Ge smiled disdainfully, looked back at him with deep eyes, and asked, "Don't you know who I'm asking?" ”
Facing Jin Ge's gaze, the guy couldn't judge the gaze of the woman in front of him for a while, and there was something in that smile, so he laughed dryly twice, and then gave up, so he responded as a difficulty.
"Madame, later, the small one will be fetched for Madame." With that, he turned around and went back to the inner hall, this time, he had obviously been there longer, it had taken some time, and when he came out again, he had an extra bag in his hand. He apologized and said, "Madame has been waiting for a long time, and the little one has taken some time to transcribe everything and put it in the bag, and Madame can open it and read it after she leaves the shop." ”
Jin Ge curiously took the bag, looked at it over and over, and muttered, "It's quite mysterious, okay, I'll take it." Ason, pay. ”
After that, he was about to leave the gold shop in great strides, leaving Ah Song and his buddies staring at each other with big eyes.
By the time Ah Song finished paying and caught up, Jin Ge was already standing on the side of the street outside, ready to open the bag.
"Miss, you slipped away so fast...... Ah Song suddenly appeared behind Jin Ge and complained.
Jin Ge was taken aback, gave him an angry look, and wanted to give him a backhand, "Can you not be like a ghost, I'm here to poke the big secret." ”
"What a secret, I think Miss may have been deceived," Ah Song pouted, with a disgusted expression, "I don't know what information I bought for so much silver, what use it can be." ”
"You know what." Jin Ge said, and opened the bag, and there was a folded paper inside, "I bought the news of listening to the bamboo today, and one is sure that the news of listening to the bamboo really came to buy the news, and the other is that they also know what news they want to get, isn't it killing two birds with one stone?" Besides, didn't I buy a silver lock, and the money he collected was almost worth the price of this silver lock, I must have forgotten to count the money of the silver lock, and only cared about the money I received from the intelligence, this piece of paper, white and black, didn't spend money, and I didn't lose anything, right? ”
After listening to Jin Ge, Ah Song suddenly realized, and let out a long sigh with his big mouth......
"Look, what's written on this." Jinge said, while opening the paper, there was really a lot of information written on it, she roughly browsed it, but she didn't find anything special, it can be said that she still didn't understand after reading it.
Seeing Jin Ge's expression, Ah Song became even more curious about what was written on the paper.
"I'm pondering and pondering...... Jin Ge held the paper in one hand, touched his chin in the other, and slowly moved his steps, "I didn't understand the front, but I found that it didn't seem to be any intelligence news, it seemed to be written specifically for me......"
"Huh?!" Hearing this, Ah Song wanted to scratch his head even more, "Specially written for you, Miss?" Isn't this listening to the news of bamboo buying? ”
"I think the front may be the news that she bought, and the back is the news that the guy wants to tell me, he was prepared, and he calculated that I would enter the gold shop, so I must be ready to pass this news on to me......"
"What's the news?"
Jin Ge once again set his eyes on the piece of paper, then folded it up, stuffed it into his clothes, and said, "Let's go, go to the restaurant by the moat." ”
"Moat? Isn't that ...... "Isn't it the restaurant that I heard Zhu say earlier?" Before Ah Song finished speaking, Jin Ge took the lead and left, he had a premonition that something seemed to be wrong, and hurriedly followed.
The master and servant quickly arrived at the restaurant, which was very easy to identify, because the restaurant with the moat and river was here, and it was condescending, two stories higher than the houses on both sides.
Jin Ge walked through the hall from the first floor with the most people and the liveliness, which naturally attracted a lot of attention, and a group of people immediately greeted him, and hurriedly asked: "Miss invited, I don't know if it's a drink or a ......."
"Searching for someone." Jin Ge replied simply, but his eyes kept looking upstairs and didn't look at him.
"Miss, upstairs is a private room......"
Without waiting for the guy to finish speaking, Jin Ge walked upstairs, she relied on her instincts, and went straight to a side room by the river, and sure enough, she saw Tingzhu standing at the door, Tingzhu saw Jin Ge's appearance, and seemed to be very surprised, and could not hide her panic and stepped forward to salute.
Such an abnormal listening to bamboo made Jin Ge even more suspicious, she didn't listen to the bamboo, so she pushed the door open, and the scene in sight made her stunned for a while......
