Following.

After yesterday's food tasting, the restaurant owner came to the Fulai Inn early with the contract to wait for Xu Xiaoxiao, and Xu Xiaoxiao was pulled up from the bed by Liu Qiaoer with sleepy eyes.

"I'm still sleeping, I'm on business." Liu Qiaoer kept putting her coat on Xu Xiaoxiao's body.

Xu Xiaoxiao looked blankly at his hands swaying up and down under Liu Qiao'er's Tao Teng, "What's the business?" ”

"Didn't you go buy winter supplies today?"

"There is no hurry to buy winter supplies, now I have signed the contract first, and I will be able to have an income every month in the future." Liu Qiaoer pulled Xu Xiaoxiao to the bronze mirror, picked up the hairpin and gestured on her head.

"What are these?" Xu Xiaoxiao looked at the hairpin of vermilion jade and picked it up curiously to study.

"This is a hairpin, used by boudoir women to dress up." Liu Qiaoer finally chose a white jade hairpin to insert into Xu Xiaoxiao's bun.

Before Xu Xiaoxiao came to her senses, Liu Qiaoer had already pulled her out of the door, and she dragged Xu Xiaoxiao all the way to a side room.

In the wing room sat shopkeeper Zhao, the smile on the shopkeeper Zhao's face was almost full of wrinkles, he stepped forward and put a contract on the table, "Little girl, I am here to sign a contract with you." ”

"Signing?" Xu Xiaoxiao sat on a stool and picked up the rice paper to carefully examine the contents inside.

The rice paper was full of information about her and Shopkeeper Zhao, saying that she needed to provide 30 special dishes to Shopkeeper Zhao every month, and Shopkeeper Zhao gave her 400 taels every month.

Xu Xiaoxiao looked at the dense words on the rice paper in a dazed manner, "This is?" What do you mean? ”

Liu Qiao'er hurriedly grabbed it on the side, "This is to win the exclusive agent, that is, no matter what dishes you invent, you can only supply Shopkeeper Zhao, and the price offered by Shopkeeper Zhao is twice that of the market." ”

Shopkeeper Zhao gave Liu Qiao'er a thumbs up and said with a smile, "Miss Qiao'er summed it up in place, but she was negligent and didn't make it clear." ”

Xu Xiaoxiao nodded suddenly, and then looked at Shopkeeper Zhao and pulled Liu Qiao'er out of the box, "Is this reliable?" ”

Liu Qiao'er greeted the shopkeeper Zhao in the house with a smile, and then hugged Xu Xiaoxiao, "I've read the content, there are a lot of loopholes, it's quite reliable, isn't there no way to stay in Shu now?" You can do it first. ”

"Pay with one hand and deliver with the other?" Xu Xiaoxiao asked suspiciously.

"It must be, otherwise how to get the money, 400 taels, you can do a lot of things." Liu Qiaoer's eyes were shining, and she hugged Xu Xiaoxiao in anticipation.

"Then we'll sign it, and then go buy supplies and go back early, Grandma Liu will be worried." Xu Xiaoxiao tapped the tip of Liu Qiao'er's nose and smiled.

"No problem." Liu Qiaoer happily made an OK gesture.

Xu Xiaoxiao and Liu Qiao'er returned to the room, and the shopkeeper Zhao saw the two of them and quickly got up, "How is it, have you discussed it properly?" ”

"Alright, we'll sign it now." Liu Qiaoer sat on the stool heroically.

Xu Xiaoxiao smiled and sat down, picked up the wolf howl on the table, and wrote his name on rice paper.

"Tiny."

At this time, Chu Guo was looking for Xu Xiaoxiao outside, and when he passed by the wing, he saw Xu Xiaoxiao sitting in the house, and he happily entered the house.

"Are you here?"

Shopkeeper Zhao took the signed contract and looked at it with a smile, after seeing Chu Guo who entered the door, his face froze, the rice paper in his hand fell on the table, his eyes were moist, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Xu Xiaoxiao touched Chu Guo's head and smiled, "I'm doing something, I'll look for you later." ”

Chu Guo glanced at the shopkeeper Zhao opposite, and said in Xu Xiaoxiao's ear, "Why do I look at the unreliable person in front of me?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince." Shopkeeper Zhao got up tremblingly and knelt on the ground with a "flutter", and his upper body was close to the ground.

Xu Xiaoxiao and Liu Qiao'er jumped up from the stool in a panic, protected Chu Guo behind their backs and retreated a few steps out of the door.

Chu Guo looked at the shopkeeper Zhao in front of him blankly from the thin slit between the two, "Who are you?" Why do you know me? ”

Xu Xiaoxiao vigilantly protected Chu Guo, "Qiao'er, you take Chu Guo out, I will deal with this person." ”

Liu Qiao'er looked at Xu Xiaoxiao and nodded, "Okay." ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm not a bad person, I'm the uncle of His Royal Highness the Prince." Shopkeeper Zhao had tears in his eyes and a sad expression, and hurriedly got up to stop Liu Qiao'er.

Xu Xiaoxiao and Liu Qiao'er looked at each other in surprise, stunned for a moment and then turned their eyes on Chu Guo, who was also looking at the shopkeeper Zhao who claimed to be his uncle in front of him with a blank face.

"Uncle?" Chu Guo squeezed out of the thin slit between the two.

"Yes, I'm my uncle." Shopkeeper Zhao wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said with a sob.

Xu Xiaoxiao grabbed Chu Guo, who wanted to step forward, "Have you seen your uncle?" ”

Chu Guo looked back at Xu Xiaoxiao and shook his head, "No, after my mother died, I was raised under the knees of Concubine Xiang, and she didn't let me see my mother's family. ”

"Since you don't know each other, it's better to go back behind us, and the prince will come over and decide." Xu Xiaoxiao pulled Chu Guo back behind her back, looked at Liu Qiao'er and motioned for her to take Chu Guo out.

Liu Qiao'er accepted the code and pulled the reluctant Chu Guo out of the room, and Xu Xiaoxiao took out a dagger from behind to guard the surroundings of the room.

"Shopkeeper Zhao, how do you recognize Chu Guo as the crown prince." Xu Xiaoxiao slowly retreated out the back door, her back close to the edge of the door.

Shopkeeper Zhao reluctantly watched Chu Guo leave and sat on the stool weakly, "I have seen that child since I was a child, why don't I know it, Chu Guo has a mole in the center of his eyebrows, and as soon as he was born as a national teacher, he said that he would be the emperor in the future." ”

Xu Xiaoxiao looked out of the door, Liu Qiao'er outside the door had already walked to the third floor with Chu Guo, and she looked at the shopkeeper Zhao with peace of mind.

"Everyone in the palace knows about the mole of Chu State, not surprisingly, and the prophecy you said is only afraid that people who have stayed in the palace or are officials of the court will know it."

Although she didn't know what happened back then, according to what Shopkeeper Zhao said she had heard, the affairs of Chu State must be clear to those who wanted to kill him, and the so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can win all battles.

"Yes, most people know these things, but only I know how her mother and my sister died tragically." Shopkeeper Zhao clenched his fists when he said that he was in pain, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Xu Xiaoxiao frowned and looked at the gentle shopkeeper Zhao in front of her, showing a fierce expression at this time, and at this time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and she looked out of the door.

Chu Qing took Wang Duo with a sharp arrow in his hand and walked quickly towards the wing room angrily.

"Hide behind my back." Before Chu Qing stepped into the wing, he pulled Xu Xiaoxiao behind him.

Xu Xiaoxiao looked at the tall back in front of her in a daze, a fragrance hit Chu Qing's body, her cheeks instantly flushed, her heart beat her chest, and she covered her hot cheeks at a loss.

Oops, she's not going to get sick again, right?

Chu Qing's eyes showed a fierce light, his expression was gloomy, and he glared at the boss in front of him viciously, "Say, how do you know the identity of Chu State." ”
