The shopkeeper was also infected by his bright smile, and said happily: "Good luck to the guest officer, the girl above saw that Childe really liked the pastries in the shop, so she gave the pastries she had ordered in advance to Childe."

The young man followed the guidance of the shopkeeper, looked up to the second floor, and saw Jin Jiaojiao looking at him with a smile.

Even Jin Jiaojiao herself can't understand why she suddenly does good deeds to give pastries to others, maybe she just feels free fate in the dark.

The young man stared at Jin Jiaojiao suspiciously, confirming that he didn't know this person, but the pastries were really delicious. He hesitated for a few seconds, flew up to the second floor with the food box, and landed beside Jin Jiaojiao.

"You gave it to me?"

Jin Jiaojiao nodded, feeling that this young man was quite interesting, with a kind of innocence and clarity that did not understand the world.

"Why give it to me?" The boy asked again.

Jin Jiaojiao replied, "Don't you like it?"

The young man also nodded, but he always felt that he couldn't eat and drink other people's money for nothing, and wanted to give Jin Jiaojiao money but found that there was no money left on him. The woman downstairs naturally saw his embarrassment, but she didn't plan to help him pay for it, just to use it to vent her anger.

"For you," Jin Jiaojiao explained, "no need to give money."

The young man was embarrassed, the roots of his back ears were red, and Jin Jiaojiao thought this person was even more cute.

"Thank you." There was no money, so the young man had to take out a piece of pink jade from his arms and give it to Jin Jiaojiao, "This is for you."

Jin Jiaojiao held up the jade pendant and read the words on it: "Rong Eleven." new

Boy: "My name."

"Good name, but the pastry is for you, you really don't need to give money, besides, the pastry is not worth a few dollars, your jade pendant is too precious, you will suffer a big loss by exchanging the jade pendant for the pastry."

Jin Jiaojiao returned the jade pendant to the young man.

The young man hurriedly explained, "No, no, the jade pendant is for gratitude." Then he gave her the jade pes, "Take it and give it to you."

It turned out to be a courtesy exchange, this young man is really a sincere person, Jin Jiaojiao resigned and looked hypocritical, "Okay, accept it, thank you Rong Eleven."

The boy also smiled happily, and flew down from the second floor with the food box in his hand, and left with the woman.

The next day, Jin Jiaojiao and Zhao Bingyu went to Tan Mansion to celebrate their birthday. In addition to local officials, there were businessmen in the Jiangnan area. The officials in the capital boasted of being clear and bright, and rarely interacted with businessmen on the surface, so as to keep themselves clean. Jin Jiaojiao was not admired, it was the first time she had seen such a blatant collusion with a businessman as an official, if the tiger was not at home, the monkey was the king, and the benefits of the mountain emperor were self-evident.

Before the banquet began, Zhao Bingyu took advantage of the fact that Jin Jiaojiao was busy greeting several merchants who had business cooperation with the Jin family, and casually found an excuse to stay away from the crowd to secretly search for evidence, and he did not come back until after the official banquet.

Tan Gu also appeared in the eyes of everyone at the same time, he first thanked everyone for taking time out of their busy schedules to congratulate him on his birthday, and then reprimanded the water bandits and rogues fiercely, and finally talked about the most concerned about the current merchants' plans to make money, which attracted full applause, and the merchants praised him for being a good official who did practical things.

In the midst of the staggering, other officials also patted their farts and congratulated him in advance that he would be promoted soon, and Tan Gu looked like a humble gentleman from beginning to end.

Jin Jiaojiao only felt that these people were hypocritical and ridiculous, the order of the imperial court to review Tan Gu had already spread to Jiangnan, and the people of Dali Temple lived in Jingzhao Mansion, even if they were ordinary businessmen, these well-informed officials congratulated others on the surface, but behind their backs they might be waiting to see him fall so that he could be replaced.

"Wife, what are you secretly laughing at?" Zhao Bingyu suddenly leaned over and asked in a low voice.

"I laugh at Jiangnan talents with a good attitude." Jin Jiaojiao slightly distanced herself from Zhao Bingyu, since she confirmed her intentions, she found that she couldn't get too close to whisper to this person, it was too seductive, she had to calm down for a while to calm down the chaotic heartbeat.

"Miss Jin and my new aunt have a good relationship." A merchant lady praised.

Zhao Bingyu took the opportunity to put his arm around Jin Jiaojiao's shoulders and smiled proudly: "That's that, thank you, madam."

get

Someone's freshly calmed heartbeat is chaotic again.

However, it was also the reminder of this merchant lady that Jin Jiaojiao suddenly discovered that there was a strange thing about this huge Tan Mansion - there was no hostess.

The powerful who are not wives and concubines, groups of beautiful wives and concubines? However, Lord Tan went back and forth between the banquets, but there was no woman by his side to accompany him. It's weird.

Jin Jiaojiao didn't believe that he was so clean, so she secretly asked the merchant lady: "Dare to ask Madame, why don't you see Lord Tan's family during the banquet."

The merchant lady covered her mouth with a fan and smiled: "I think Miss Jin has been in the capital for a long time, she must not know about this, our Lord Tan has not married a wife and had children."

Ordinary people may have to hold their grandchildren at this age, Jin Jiaojiao couldn't believe it: "Didn't marry a wife?"

"That's true, but although Lord Tan has not married a wife, he is also very blessed, and he has married seven aunts and wives who are beautiful and fragrant." The merchant lady looked around and said confusedly, "It's strange to say, his aunts and wives are usually the most ostentatious, and they often ask a few of our ladies to play cards, but I haven't seen them for several days."

"Hey, not even the maid who usually follows them." The merchant lady grabbed a tea maid and asked, "How many wives do you have?" Why didn't you show up today?"

The maid's eyes dodged, and she stumbled and replied, "Madam, the ladies have gone to the countryside to meet the old lady."

As he was talking, a woman's crying voice came from outside the courtyard, and I saw a woman with her clothes torn to tatters and her hair in a messy bun running in, crying incessantly: "My lord, my lord, I thought I would never see an adult again."

The woman was embarrassed, but she couldn't hide her beauty, and someone present said, "This isn't Lord Tan's seventh aunt, why are you crying so miserably?"

The guests gave way one after another, Tan Gu hurriedly supported Yu Xi who stumbled and ran over, and the beauty fell into his arms, pitiful and pitiful.

"Xi'er, what happened? How did you make such a mess? What about the others."

As soon as Tan Gu asked, Yu Xi cried even more, and sobbed: "My lord, sisters, my sisters have been killed, my lord must make decisions for your sisters."

At the same time, a young man also walked in.

Jin Jiaojiao's eyes lit up, "It's him!"

Is this man really so unhurried at all times?

Zhao Bingyu's ears were tipped, "My wife knows him?"

"It's not an acquaintance, but it's a one-sided relationship."

Zhao Bingyu saw that the young man's eyebrows were clear, and he muttered sourly: "When did it happen, why don't I know, I remember it so clearly when I met once..."

Jin Jiaojiao just wanted to explain, but suddenly remembered the matter of Jubaotang, and thought about it in her heart, deliberately pretending not to hear it and ignoring him.
