Chapter 23 Jade Pot Spring Tea House
"It's almost noon, where are you going?" When Qiao Xiya and the others walked through the front yard and were about to go to the Jade Pot Spring Teahouse, they were stopped by Bai Ning, who was practicing boxing in the front yard.
"Go to the Jade Pot Spring Tea House," Qiao Xiya's expression was a little sad, "The youngest daughter of the owner of the Jade Pot Spring Tea House is also one of the victims of this disappearance, we want to ask." ”
"Then I'll go with you, maybe I'll be able to ask for news of my sister." Bai Ning patted the floating ash on the corner of his clothes, "You wait for me for a while, I'll leave a note for Chu Yun, so that they don't come back and see that there is no one here, and they will be in a hurry." With that, he hurried into the house to lay paper and ink.
"Bai Gongzi, I didn't expect Brother Chuyun to also read." Seeing that Bai Ning finished writing, Qiao San couldn't help but sigh.
"Oh, he often helps me go out to run errands, and if I don't recognize a few words, I'm afraid that he will be deceived and delay things, so I taught him some." Bai Ning explained lightly, "If Brother Qiao wants to learn, I can also teach you." ”
"No, no," Qiao said with a wave of his hand, "I'm just a rough guy who dances with knives and sticks, and sitting there reading, it makes me more uncomfortable than beating me." ”
"Hahaha," Qiao San's words made Yao Mingxi laugh, "It's important that you protect Miss Qiao well, you can't do things like reading and writing." ”
"Don't listen to him!" Qiao Xiya glared at Yao Mingxi, and then said to Qiao San, "Qiao Sanye, if you really want to learn, when we rescue my father, I will definitely let him teach you well, and then participate in a scientific examination, maybe you are the champion of civil and military affairs, and when the time comes, even if it is a horse master, you will do it!" ”
"Girl," Qiao San interrupted Qiao Xiya's words, "Be cautious, be cautious." ”
"What are you afraid of, you are a talent, how to do not be a court." Qiao Xiya said to herself, and took the lead in walking towards the Jade Pot Spring Teahouse in the south of the city, "Eh, that's not right," she suddenly stopped, causing Chunling to almost hit her, "You won't have someone you like, right?" ”
"Girl, let's go, it's important to get down to business." Qiao San diverted the topic and walked forward quickly.

Yuhu Spring Tea House is located at the intersection of Chengnan Street, where people come and go, so lively. When Qiao Xiya and the others walked to the door of the teahouse, it was noon, and the restaurant opposite the teahouse was overcrowded.
"You kid, why did you run outside again!" A scolding attracted the attention of Qiao Xiya and the others, only to see a man pulling a child playing with his friends at the door of the teahouse.
"Let me play a little longer!" The child struggled, "Let me play a little longer!" ”
"Smack!" The man slapped the child on the back, and scolded with red eyes: "Have you forgotten how your sister is gone!"
Listening to the man's words, the child was obviously stunned, and then lowered his head and walked towards the teahouse without saying a word. The man wiped a handful of tears from the corners of his eyes where the children could not see, and followed him back to the teahouse.
"He should be the bitter master." Qiao Xiya sighed softly. At this time, she actually had a hint of retreat in her heart, saying that the man did not flick when he had tears, but he did not reach the sad place, it can be seen that the disappearance of the youngest daughter is a very big blow to the man, and she went to get to the bottom of it, obviously to expose the scar and sprinkle salt, Qiao Xiya felt that this behavior was too cruel.
"Let's go, go and ask." Seeing that Qiao Xiya was motionless, Bai Ning couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"Won't we be too cruel......" Qiao Xiya's words did not fall, and her eyes turned red first.
"If you think it's cruel to ask a question, then you shouldn't come to investigate this case!" Bai Ning changed his gentle appearance and suddenly scolded Qiao Xiya.
"What are you fierce!" Yao Mingxi stretched out her hand to stop Qiao Xiya behind her, and glared at Bai Ning angrily, "You think everyone is like you, heartless, heartless, and unreasonable!" Don't you see how sad that man is? ”
"I don't have a heart? How sad is he? Bai Ning sneered, "Then did you ever think that my sister was also missing?" I'm also a bitter Lord! Then should I cry all day long, and shed a few tears when I see everyone, so that I can show that I am affectionate, righteous, flesh and blood! Bai Ning's almost irrational questioning shocked Qiao Xiya's heart like never before.
Bai Ning stared at Qiao Xiya for a long time before trying to suppress the anger in his heart: "If you don't go, please go back." Don't make another trip to the muddy waters. Anyway, alone, he walked to the gate of the teahouse without looking back.
"Bai Gongzi, wait." Qiao Xiya gritted her teeth, pushed Yao Mingxi's arm away, and chased after her, "Your sister, my father, and the youngest daughter of the teahouse owner in front of me are all victims of this case, I am here for this case, how can I ignore it." Don't worry, I'm not so useless! With that, he lifted the corner of his skirt and stepped into the Jade Pot Spring Tea House.
"Yo, you two come for tea at noon? Would you like refreshments? As soon as I entered the door, I saw the boss greet me with a smile.
"The boss is doing a good business." Bai Ning clenched his fists and smiled slightly, "Please give us a pot of this year's Longjing, and two more delicate refreshments." With that, he took Qiao Xiya and sat down at a table in the corner.
"Two, your tea." After sitting for a while, the boss's voice sounded behind Qiao Xiya, "And your refreshments." ”
"The boss personally serves tea? What about dude? Bai Ning pushed the refreshments in front of Qiao Xiya, and casually chatted with the owner of the teahouse.
"I won't hide it from you, there are few guests this afternoon, so I'll let the guys go to the right Fengze Garden to help, so that I can pay them less." Seeing that there were no guests, the boss simply stood aside and chatted with Bai Ning.
"You can still be short of money for this three-story business?" Bai Ning quipped.
"Alas," the teahouse owner sighed deeply, and the look on his face instantly became sad, "You are from out of town, my teahouse, since the incident came out last summer, it has been worse day by day, day by day." The owner of the teahouse seemed to suddenly remember something, and suddenly stopped talking, "Harm! You see, what am I going to do with you mentioning this disappointment, you two don't take it to heart, drink tea, drink tea, and tell me when you need it. After speaking, the owner of the teahouse slowly turned around and left.
"Don't you want to know where Yingying is?" Seeing the boss leaving, Qiao Xiya hurriedly shouted.
Qiao Xiya's words made the teahouse owner stop, and when he turned around, the teahouse owner had red eyes, trembling all over, and gritted his teeth and said, "Who are you!" Where is Yingying! You give my daughter back! With that, he pounced on Qiao Xiya.
