Chapter 11: This is something that arsonists know

Seeing Aunt Li raise her head proudly, Zhou Niangzi's heart immediately itched.

If the current posture continues, the customers in his store will be robbed sooner or later, then it is better to seek wealth and wealth in danger, and take a gamble, even if he shows his feet, as long as he pushes it on Aunt Li's head, the He family has no evidence, and they can't settle accounts with themselves, right?

After making up her mind in her heart, Zhou Niangzi hooked the corners of her eyes and showed a little smile on her face.

She said deliberately: "Don't tell me this, I have no enmity with the He family, I'm afraid you don't want me to be a knife for you again!" ”

It really made her blind cat run into a dead mouse, and she guessed it!

Aunt Li herself is weak, and her son-in-law was annoyed with her daughter because he was demoted and punished, so she came up with such a trick.

I instructed Yu Laosan and his wife to do those things before, also because they couldn't come forward, but Zhou Niangzi was much smarter than Yu Laosan, and she knew Aunt Li's temperament, so she didn't fall for it so quickly.

Hearing that she almost picked out her words, Aunt Li hurriedly smiled and said, "Where did Zhou Niangzi say?" Ten miles and eight villages to inquire, who can calculate your head? I just have the heart and the guts! What's more, I'm so stupid, others don't know if you don't know! ”

She dispelled Zhou Niangzi's doubts in three or two sentences, and suppressed the matter of standing up for her and didn't mention it again.

Zhou Niangzi sneered in her heart, this old pious woman was afraid that she had guessed her mind and didn't dare to say it.

It's a pity that she doesn't have the handle in her own hands, otherwise she can threaten it, and now let's see what bends she has to detour!

Letting Aunt Li pull the topic to the incense shop next door, Zhou Niangzi suddenly heard Aunt Li say: "...... That set of December flower boxes is very beautiful, and there is no one who has seen it who does not like it. ”

"December? Aren't there only six? Zhou Niangzi frowned, and the fan in her hand shook faster.

"There are twelve months in a year, of course it's twelve......," Aunt Li shook her handkerchief, and couldn't help but think of something as she spoke, her face changed abruptly, and she changed her words, "But maybe I remembered it wrong, so I took a look from a distance and didn't see it clearly." ”

After she finished speaking, she ran away, without giving Zhou Niangzi a little time to react.

But Zhou Niangzi muttered about this in her heart, and her searching eyes kept skimming to the Agarwood Incense Shop.

Until she couldn't hold back her curiosity, she called the guy to look at the shop, and she shook the fan to go to the Shenshui incense shop, deliberately leaning towards Yu Qingzhi.

Now it's afternoon, business has faded, and people are not as crowded as when they first opened, Yu Qingzhi only stands at the counter to collect money, which is really idle.

When she saw Mrs. Zhou, she rarely had a smile on her face, "Mrs. Zhou came to buy incense?" ”

"Not really! In my embroidery workshop, I can smell the fragrance of your agarwood incense shop, my embroidery is contaminated with such a good smell, I don't know how much more I can sell. ”

While complimenting, Zhou Niangzi looked at the twelve boxes on the shelf with her spare eyes, and when she looked closely, she always felt that Aunt Li was lying to herself.

This set of boxes is really beautiful, Zhou Niangzi is almost inevitable for them, if Yu Qingzhi hides six sets of them, she will have to pick out her ideas.

This idea went around in her heart, and Zhou Niangzi asked with a smile on her face: "I see that people who come and go like your floral box, do you really plan to sell it?" ”

"This is indeed not for sale for the time being, even if Boss Zhu comes to ask, it will not be sold." Yu Qingzhi replied firmly.

Zhou Niangzi took the opportunity to answer, "Do you want to keep it and get some guests, or do you want to get together twelve sets and sell it?" There are twelve months in a year, how can there be twelve sets of this floral box? Do you have six sets in your possession and want to hook us into buying them? ”

Yu Qingzhi was holding a pen to keep accounts in the account book, and at the same time he was distracted and accosted her, and paused when he heard the pen in his hand here.

She raised her head and glanced at Zhou Niangzi with a strange expression, her eyes were more crooked, but her smile was faint.

"This set of boxes did have twelve sets at first, but now it does only have six sets left, where did Zhou Niangzi hear that there are twelve sets?" Yu Qingzhi's voice was cold, and her false smile made her heart chill.

Zhou Niangzi shook the hand of the fan and couldn't help stopping, glanced at the other customers in the store in a panic, and said, "I didn't guess!" It is said that there are twelve months in a year, how can it be possible to make only six sets? Look at you, too, if you don't sell it, you won't sell it, why is it so scary! ”

The fan in her hand fluttered slightly, and her face was a little more embarrassed.

Yu Qingzhi explained unhurriedly: "It's not that I deliberately want to scare Zhou Niangzi, but after the December box was completed, someone set it on fire, and the matter you said, except for me and the carpenter, only the arsonist knows." ”

She bit the word arsonist heavily, and the cold voice frightened the fan in Zhou Niangzi's hand and fell to the ground.

The sound of the wooden handle landing on the ground was particularly crisp, which alarmed the attention of everyone in the store.

Suddenly, all eyes fell on Zhou Niangzi.

It was clear that this matter had nothing to do with her, but it also scared her out of a cold sweat.

With an embarrassed smile on her face, she picked up the fan and shook it quickly, turned her head to meet those eyes, gritted her teeth and said, "It all depends on what I do, don't you want to buy incense?" Hurry up and pick it up! ”

Among these people were also guests of her embroidery workshop, and she didn't dare to offend, so she could only break her teeth and swallow them in her stomach.

finally waited for those eyes to look away, and Zhou Niangzi said to Yu Qingzhi: "What you said doesn't make me understand, I'm just a mouthful, why do I have anything to do with the arsonist?" ”

"I'm just saying that only the arsonist knows about this matter, why did Zhou Niangzi react so much? Do you know the arsonist? The abacus in Yu Qingzhi's hand was clear, and there was a three-point smile on her face, so that people couldn't see her thoughts.

As soon as the wrinkles on Zhou Niangzi's face unfolded, they wrinkled together again, "How do I know any arsonist?" You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. ”

At this moment, He Lianjun walked in from outside, still carrying the food box he brought for them.

As if he hadn't seen Mrs. Zhou, he walked over and said straight to Yu Qingzhi: "I have already gone to the government to report the case just now, and there will be a government messenger to search Uncle Li's house in a while, and maybe he will come to us for questioning." ”

Speaking of this, he paused, and finally divided his gaze to Zhou Niangzi, the handsome and picturesque facial features made people unable to take their eyes off, but the words that came out of the thin lips made Zhou Niangzi feel cold.

"Shopkeeper Zhou was just talking to my lady about this? If Shopkeeper Zhou also knows the inside story, the yamen people will have to trouble Shopkeeper Zhou to go for a while. ”

"Whew! How do I know about your family? Don't spew blood! The store that just opened attracted the yacha, which shows how bad you are! Get away from me! ”

Zhou Niangzi took a few sips, and left as if she was running away with her skirt.

returned to his own shop, asked the guy to bring herbal tea to reduce the fire, and finally smoothed out his heart, and Zhou Niangzi came back to taste.

That Yu Qingzhi said that only the arsonist knew about this matter, so how did Aunt Li know?

Thinking of this, her eyes rolled, and a smile appeared on her frightened face.

She was dozing, and Yu Qingzhi brought her a pillow!

Before, she couldn't trust Aunt Li, and she didn't have his handle in her hand, so she naturally didn't dare to let her do things, but now that she has her handle in her hand, she is afraid that Aunt Li will be disobedient?

Hum! This time, she wanted to see how long Yu Qingzhi's little hoof could be proud!

……

After Zhou Niangzi left, Yu Qingzhi looked at He Lianjun and smiled: "You didn't report to the official at all, did you?" ”

"How do you know?" He Lianjun arranged the meals one by one on the table at the back of the store, and asked.

"You took food from Boss Zhu's house, if you go to the government again, you won't be able to come back at this time." Yu Qingzhi walked this road by himself, of course he knew the distance of the road, even if He Lianjun's legs were too long.

He Lianjun raised the corners of his lips slightly, and suddenly said: "Qingzhi is so smart. ”

He shouted Yu Qingzhi's name so seriously, which made Yu Qingzhi's face hot, and he raised his eyes and glared, "Eat!" ”

Looking at the crimson on Yu Qingzhi's face, He Lianjun smiled even deeper, but knowing that Yu Qingzhi was thin-skinned, he hid his smile by coughing.

Erni thought that she was a guy hired by Yu Qingzhi, and she didn't dare to sit and eat with them, so she took some dishes to the door to look at the store, but Yu Qingzhi couldn't resist her, so she had to agree.

The family sat down, He Wanyue picked up the rice bowl, remembered the conversation between Yu Qingzhi and Zhou Niangzi, and didn't bother to eat or sleep for a while, and asked, "That Zhou Niangzi knew about this, and her sister-in-law was ready to let her go like this?" ”

At that time, there was no one in the store, and He Wanyue and He Lancheng explained the purpose of incense to customers in the store, and naturally heard their conversation.

Helan Cheng thought more directly: "Did you say that she made people set fire, otherwise what would he be so nervous about?" ”

"The Zhou family has no grievances with us, what are you doing by setting fire to the box?" He Lianjun interrupted his ramblings.

"Lian Jun is right, the Zhou family and we don't have a holiday, so there is no need to put in such a lot of effort, but Aunt Li often walks around with Zhou Niangzi, maybe Zhou Niangzi heard it from her mouth." Yu Qingzhi is conservative.

In fact, with the opening of the incense shop today, with her shallow understanding of Aunt Li, she would never let go of such an opportunity to make trouble, but she didn't come, either because she was weak-hearted, or she was planning other plans behind her back.

But in Yu Qingzhi's view, I'm afraid it's both.

And in the afternoon, Zhou Niangzi's behavior was more like a test to verify something, I am afraid that I also learned about it from Aunt Li's mouth, and I couldn't help but ask with curiosity.

Therefore, Yu Qingzhi also deliberately told Zhou Niangzi about the arsonist, so that they could eat the dog and see who could bite off the other party's flesh first.

This idea also came up in an instant, she didn't tell He Wanyue and He Lancheng, worried that these two little ones would learn badly, but for He Lianjun, she didn't have time to say it, and He Lianjun guessed it after eating.

Thinking that the two had the same heart, Yu Qingzhi's eyes widened.

A pair of apricot eyes were as round as autumn apricots, and his moist eyes fell on He Lianjun's body, full of surprise and surprise.

As early as when he figured it out, he had already imagined in his heart how Yu Qingzhi would react when he heard his guess, but he didn't expect it to be so cute...... And tempting.

He Lianjun's gaze was burning and sincere, and with his handsome and angry face, Yu Qingzhi once again couldn't resist, bit his thin lip, and looked away.

"You're smart, too." She followed He Lianjun's praise of herself, but she turned red with her ears.

Seeing her fair skin rise to the glow, He Lianjun couldn't help but take a few more looks, and then withdrew his greedy gaze, lowered his head and changed the topic: "Sooner or later, they will show their feet, so there is no hurry for the time being." However, Ah Cheng's going to the academy had to be done early. ”

As soon as he said this, Yu Qingzhi also walked out of the embarrassment.

She apologized: "It's me who is bad, if you don't say it, I forgot about it." I don't know which academy is the best academy in town......"

Yu Qingzhi fiddled with the abacus as she spoke, with a smile on her face that was calm and satisfied.

"You see, we've earned more than a thousand copper plates in one day today! In the future, even if there is only half of the income in a day, we can let Ah Cheng go to the best academy! ”
