Chapter Twenty-Four: The Little Girl Eats Pretty Food

Sensing the displeasure in Ji Changye's words, Cheng Wenyu's eyes flashed with a hint of pride that his plan had succeeded. He achieved his goal as he wished, and he didn't care about what Ji Changye was saying.

"Ji Gongzi still misunderstood Cheng, and Cheng still wanted to be entangled in things, so he took his leave first." As he spoke, Cheng Wenyu got up and bowed.

Ji Changye had long been impatient with him, and he couldn't wait for him to leave earlier, so he said, "Changfeng, send off guests." ”

Changfeng was also reluctant, and after sending people out of the door, he didn't leave half a word of farewell, so he turned around and went back to the house to close the door.

"Master, the person has been sent away." Changfeng stepped into the threshold, still immersed in the words that Cheng Wenyu said just now, a little angry from nowhere.

Ji Changye put down the teacup, and finally remembered what Changfeng had just done, and couldn't help but be a little curious, so he asked, "What did you put in the teacup with Cheng Wenyu?" Call him that look? ”

Mentioning this, Changfeng raised his chin and became proud: "The subordinate just put a few big spoonfuls of Coptis chinensis, telling him to eat more and eat dumb losses, so that he can eat more." ”

It was his mouth full of rhetoric that coaxed Song Qian, and now he came to the door to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, saying some nonsense that made Ji Changye unhappy. Changfeng only hated that he didn't put a few more spoonfuls of coptis powder at the beginning, so that he couldn't speak.

Hearing Changfeng's words, although Ji Changye did not praise him openly, he was very satisfied in his heart, and gently suppressed the next sip of tea.

But thinking of what Cheng Wenyu said, Ji Changye couldn't help but think of Hu Sisoft.

He felt that Cheng Wenyu had a clear relationship with Song Qian like this, and there were no three hundred taels of silver here, and he couldn't keep it all, and he really had a little selfishness towards Song Qian in his heart. In this way, Ji Changye regretted it, in the past, he only cared about watching out for Shi Lei, and he didn't think about the process Wen Yu at all, but now it seems that it is really late.

This Cheng Wenyu must have lost a good reputation in front of Song Qian's eyes, and compared himself to him.

Changfeng thought that Ji Changye was angry because of his cooking for Cheng Wenyu's teacup, so he lowered his head and stood in front of him. But at this time, when he glanced at it, he saw Ji Changye's face solemn, faintly remorseful and worried.

Changfeng instantly guessed Ji Changye's thoughts, and even said with some schadenfreude: "Master, my subordinates mentioned to you earlier that this Cheng Wen Yu is not an idle person, he has read books and has a good eloquence, and he may have said many good things to get close to Song Niangzi." But you, however, don't believe in evil, and are bent on guarding against the hunter surnamed Shi. Now that we have reached this step, is it too late? ”

Ji Changye had no intention of refuting Changfeng, and what he said was correct, the sentences knocked on his heart, so he had to gently rub his eyebrows to relieve his fatigue.

Seeing that Ji Changye was silent, Changfeng completely lost the cowardice just now, and became even more bold and said: "As you can see from your subordinates, don't you feel in your heart that the identity of a village woman like Song Niangzi is only worthy of the hunter who hunts, and is not worthy of a scholar like Cheng Wenyu?" ”

Speaking of the back, he was still a little dissatisfied, probably because he felt that his master's vision was too narrow and he thought too much about the courtesy of humility.

Ji Changye finally came to his senses, had a little energy, and listened to Changfeng's words and replied: "When did I say these words? Do you think you're smart now, and have the audacity to speculate on my thoughts? ”

"Then the master will tell me in detail, how can Song Niangzi not be worthy of a scholar like Cheng Wenyu, and not worthy of your noble status?" Changfeng took advantage of the victory to pursue, and asked hurriedly with an abacus in his heart. If his master can't say why, it means that he has Song Niangzi in his heart, and he doesn't care about her identity, so it will be easier to match the two.

Ji Changye wanted to speak and stopped, looked at Changfeng's questioning expression, and finally shook his head and said: "I think it's because the errands handed over to you in the past few days are too easy, so that you have time to talk to me about some marginal words." Then I ordered you to go and work with the steward to count the grain, oil, gold and silver in the storehouse, and hand over the accounts later. If you can't do it well, you will be punished categorically. ”

Ji Changye never felt how low Song Qian's status was, but in his eyes, Song Qian was no different from those palace housekeepers. And compared with those daughters who don't touch the spring with their fingers, Song Qian can endure hardships, has a tough personality, and his thoughts are even more different from others, very independent and full of his own ideas.

As for why she thinks she can't be friends with her, it's because Ji Changye is worried about his wife's luck. was worried that Song Qian would be affected by himself, and he would die like the innocent women in the past. If Song Qian really had an accident because of him, Ji Changye would definitely blame himself deeply.

"Master, do you know how big that storehouse is? There are thousands of objects...... "Changfeng saw Ji Changye's dark and indifferent eyes, so he was busy talking, and his psychological remorse was mixed, and he blamed him for talking too much, provoking this big Buddha to ask for bitter fruits to eat.

There may be any way, he can only follow it, who let Ji Changye be his master?

So under Ji Changye's gaze, Changfeng walked out of the front hall.

Ji Changye threw what he thought just now out of his mind, and thought about what Cheng Wenyu came to say these words for.

When he rented the storefront, he found someone to thoroughly investigate the details of Cheng Wenyu, who had been in business for generations and had a rich family. And he was a scholar, and he also gained a lot of fame. Whether it is the literati's pen and ink exchanges, or business dealings, it has a good reputation. He also helps the poor people more on weekdays, and he is also praised again and again in the community, and he has no bad reputation.

Thinking about it this way, since he is a businessman and is close to helping Song Qian, he probably takes a fancy to the booming business in Song Qian's hands and wants to cooperate with him to earn dividends. That's why it's said in the past, so Ji Changye didn't interfere in the dealings between the two on weekdays, and he didn't think much about it.

But now that Cheng Wenyu actually came to the door and involved him with Song Qian, Ji Changye felt that this matter should be carefully investigated. He remembered that when Song Qian and Yuanbao encountered the bandits, they were in the carriage sent by Cheng Wenyu.

made all kinds of associations, so he boldly guessed that this matter was related to Cheng Wenyu.

"Come on, go to the backyard and call the long wind."

The little guy who was waiting outside rushed to the backyard non-stop after getting his life, only to see Changfeng standing outside the warehouse and not daring to slack off and count the items that the guys had moved out.

"Guards of the Long Wind."

Hearing this, Changfeng exclaimed: "Why are you coming here at this time!" So much so that I forgot how many hangings of this jade string! ”

Although the little guy knew that it was not appropriate to provoke Changfeng at this time, he still cautiously passed the word: "Master called you to go to the front hall." ”

When Changfeng heard that Ji Changye had sent someone to come, he immediately extinguished his arrogance, and went to the front hall stupidly: "Master, what are your orders for calling your subordinates to come?" ”

Ji Changye tapped his fingers on the table and ordered: "You go and check the coachman of the Cheng family carefully, don't show your horse's feet and startle the snake." ”

"Yes!" Changfeng happily responded, did not dare to delay for half a minute, and went to the mansion after getting up.

The gatehouse of Chengfu.

"I don't know what this boy is busy with, and although he is running around, he can't ride the carriage, so I am idle." Geng Hu, the little guy who drove the carriage, leaned on the lintel and talked to the other servants in the house, his expression was difficult to hide his pride.

The other little guys also did as he wished, and they all stole envious eyes: "If you want to say that you have to be reused, this blessing makes us red." ”

"What are you all doing here? Don't want wages anymore? The housekeeper pushed the door in, and there was a sudden silence with his eyebrows crossed, except for Geng Hu, who all bowed their heads and left to work.

The housekeeper also knew that Cheng Wenyu was heavy on Geng Hu on weekdays, so he didn't dare to offend, and his tone softened: "Geng Hu, today's son didn't arrange for you to accompany him, so you went back to rest, so you have the energy and strength to serve Gongzi, don't you?" ”

Geng Hu also looked like he was on top, and dragged it up in an arrogant tone: "Steward Wu's words also make some sense, then I'll go back, the trivial matters in this house will make you bothered and laborious, remember to keep an eye on these people, don't do things carefully, and make the son move the liver and hurt himself." ”

After all, he really looked at the butler's shoulder as if he had been advised.

The housekeeper looked at Geng Hu's dog-fighting appearance, and whispered, "I think you can be proud for a few days!" ”

Changfeng had been guarding in the dark outside Cheng's mansion earlier, and when he saw Geng Hu walking out of the alley, he hurriedly followed.

He followed Geng Hu all the way through the market.

Seeing Geng Hu stopping around, interested in everything, Changfeng couldn't help but sigh that this was another chore.

In the end, Changfeng followed him to a restaurant, looking at the brilliant and expensive decoration of the restaurant, thinking that the treatment of this Cheng family was really good.

"Master, please inside." The second junior of the restaurant greeted Geng Hu, his eyes looked at what he was wearing, and his enthusiasm suddenly halved, thinking to himself which family this is coming here without knowing why?

Geng Hu saw the corners of his mouth, and he was not angry, he walked straight to an empty table and sat down, and said, "Come to two or two good wines, you can weigh a few more good dishes." ”

"We've got ...... here" isn't cheap.

Xiao Er wanted to speak and stopped, Geng Hu smiled disdainfully when he saw this: "Don't worry, this wine and food money must be indispensable to you." ”

Hearing Geng Hu's words, Xiao Er didn't dare to say anything more, so he could only go to the back kitchen with a muttering in his heart.

Geng Hu came in with his front foot, and Changfeng with his back foot was also greeted by the shopkeeper himself. This Ji Changye used to eat this restaurant, Changfeng is naturally familiar with this, and he can be regarded as an old customer, and everyone who works here knows his identity well, so he naturally does not dare to slack off.

"What does Ji Gongzi want to eat this time? There is a new master in charge of the restaurant, who makes Cantonese food well, and knows that Ji Gongzi likes to eat lightly, why don't you make a few dishes with you? The shopkeeper wanted to take Changfeng to the box on the second floor to stay alive, but he didn't want Changfeng to come in and sit on the first floor, so he had to ask respectfully here.

At this time, Changfeng paid attention to Geng Hu, who was not far away, and was not interested in what the shopkeeper said, and said perfunctorily: "You look at it, and hang the account." ”

"Yes." The shopkeeper didn't dare to delay, and hurried to the back kitchen.

At this time, Geng Hu's wine and food were also complete, but Xiao Er had no intention of retreating, which caused Geng Hu's dissatisfaction: "What are you going to do here?" ”

"The rule of our restaurant is that you have to settle the bill after the food is served, and you can only move the chopsticks after the payment is settled." Naturally, the restaurant doesn't have this rule, but Xiao Er saw Geng Hu's shabby clothes, and was afraid that he wouldn't admit it after he was full of wine and food.

Geng Hu had no choice but to reach out and touch the money bag but it was empty, and he remembered that he had sent Cheng Wenyu to the west of the city in a hurry this morning, and forgot that the money bag was still hanging on another shirt.

Seeing that Geng Hu couldn't figure out why he was groping around, Xiao Er immediately said: "It turns out that he is a pretty eater!" Come on, call me out! "Out of nowhere, a few strong men came out of nowhere, and they wanted to drag Geng Hu out and beat him up.

Just then, a voice rang out: "Stop. ”

For it was a long wind coming.

Xiao Er saw that the person who came hurriedly changed his face, and said respectfully: "Uncle Changfeng, this person is a good eater, the little ones do things according to the rules, if it disturbs your Yaxing, I hope you have a lot of people to blame." ”

Geng Hu struggled, and when he saw Changfeng, he hurriedly shouted: "Changfeng! Help me! ”
