Chapter 345: It Seems to Have Been Arranged
Seeing that Miao Shuxuan was angry, Zhou Yongde hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, this Song Qian's cautious life may not be the first time to meet and dare not talk about cooperation easily. As long as you look for her a few more times and make her less worried, she will be able to succeed." In fact, he also saw that there was something wrong with Miao Shuxuan's words, it was good for Song Qian to be able to leave calmly, if he couldn't help it, I am afraid that he would already quarrel with Miao Shuxuan at this time.
But after all, Miao Shuxuan is his master, and Zhou Yongde can't say these words, so he can only comfort Miao Shuxuan like this.
But Miao Shuxuan didn't hear what Zhou Yongde meant at all, and still said angrily, "I think she doesn't know what to do. Does she think she knows these things better than I do? It's just that there are a few more novel things in my hand, and at this time, I can capture people's hearts, and I can still grasp them for a lifetime?" As a reborn person, and her identity is not ordinary, she has relied on her own ability to work hard to the point where she is now, and she has fame and financial resources, and Song Qian, a rural village woman, dares to refuse herself, which really makes her unacceptable.
Listening to Miao Shuxuan's words, Zhou Yongde secretly sighed helplessly. knows that no matter what he says, I'm afraid Miao Shuxuan won't listen to it. So I could only follow her words: "Miss, since this Song Qian is so ignorant, let's not cooperate with her. Otherwise, what should I do if something goes wrong in the future? Or just in case."
"No, this cooperation and business should still be done. Otherwise, if I let you get close to her, won't everything I did before be in vain? I see that she has a hard mouth at this time, and I don't know how to know it in the future. But since she has rejected me, there is no need for me to rush to her to ask for cooperation, so let's let this matter go for now. However, you still have to stay by her side, presumably at this time she has not doubted your identity. So whatever she does, she has to report it, I know? Most importantly, find out who she is."
At this time, Miao Shuxuan calmed down from her anger, and the more she thought about it, the more wrong she became. If, as Song Qian herself said, she is just a rural village woman, how can she know how to make this rouge gouache? Even if she made such a novel thing, even if she was a reborn person like herself, it would make people suspicious, so her curiosity about Song Qian was even deeper.
Zhou Yongde agreed: "Yes."
But Song Qian's true thoughts were very different from the suspicions of the two of them, in fact, Song Qian had already noticed the strangeness of the two people, and began to suspect Zhou Yongde's identity. After all, he suddenly introduced Miao Shuxuan to himself, and also wooed himself and her business, no matter where he explained it, it didn't make sense. The most important thing is that when she was confronting Miao Shuxuan just now, Zhou Yongde didn't say a word and kept looking at Miao Shuxuan, as if he was waiting for her to indicate something. Looking at it from all kinds, the probability that he is Miao Shuxuan's subordinate is very high.
Just when Song Qian was thinking, Qinglan suddenly knocked on the door and brought a bowl of noodles.
Song Qian watched her come in and asked a little strangely, "Qinglan? What are you doing, I didn't tell you to make anything."
"Returning to the princess, it was the prince who ordered the slave and maid to do it for you. It was the prince who saw that you left in a hurry in the morning and didn't have time to eat, so he asked the slave and maid to come back and make you something to eat." Qinglan explained, holding the tray.
"I see, then it's hard for you, let's put it here." Song Qianming took the tray and put it down.
Qinglan Fu saluted and was about to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Song Qian, and heard her ask, "Qinglan, where have they gone?" When she returned, she found that there was no one at home except Qinglan.
"Back to the Princess. The prince said to Changfeng that he went to the county commander's house, the prince of Jin took the little prince to play on the street, and Mama Zhang went to buy vegetables and prepared to come back and cook dinner with the slave maid." Qinglan said.
"Okay, I see, you go get busy." Song Qian nodded thoughtfully, and then sat down again.
And Qinglan also left quietly.
At the same time, the prefectural government.
Ji Changye looked at the letter handed by Zeng Kangan and said, "Where did this fight come from?" There's no signature on it.,It's just a few characters that others can't understand.,It looks like it's someone's code word.。。
Zeng Kangan explained
He said, "Back to the prince, this is the people under the courtiers who found it in the woods outside the city, and they think the characters on it are very suspicious, so they present it to you."
"Probably it should be ......" It should have been sent by the spy to the people in the imperial capital, Ji Changye was suspicious.
"Lord Wang, the handwriting on this can be compared. Why don't you send someone to investigate in the streets, and bring back anything suspicious, and don't let any of them go?" It's a clumsy and time-consuming option, but it's the only way I can think of it today.
After hearing this, Ji Changye asked rhetorically, "What can you do if you bring them all back? Will they be tortured or will they be offered with good food and drink? Since he is a spy, it is impossible for him to easily reveal his identity or betray him. You might still startle the snake like this, what should you do if he hides deeper? And if he wants to hide, he will definitely pretend to be an inconspicuous identity, most people with the same identity are illiterate, isn't it suspicious that you compare the handwriting with great fanfare?"
These words made Zeng Kangan unable to refute, knowing that his thoughts were really not considered, so he lowered his head and asked respectfully, "What does the prince command?"
"If the people in the imperial capital do not receive this letter, they will be in a hurry, and this person will definitely be impatient if he does not receive a reply for a long time, so you will send someone to guard the woods, and watch the suspicious person bring back. But remember to keep it hidden, so he doesn't find anything out of the ordinary." And in the imperial capital, he will also send someone to keep an eye on it. Now he can't swallow his anger anymore and sit still, otherwise he will really become a fish.
Zeng Kangan agreed and went to do it.
But there was nothing unusual in the next few days, but Ji Changye was still able to endure it and was not in a hurry.
However, Song Qian encountered strange things.
"Look, shopkeeper." The new little lady couldn't help but be a little amused when she saw a man enter the rouge shop, and hurriedly pointed out to Song Qian, who was reconciling the accounts, and the laughter in her mouth couldn't be hidden.
And Song Qian didn't feel anything wrong, so he didn't smile and said to her, "Okay, don't let the guests hear. What's so funny about this, go and greet the guests." As she spoke, she patted the little lady on the shoulder and told her to hurry up. The other party also hurriedly put away his smile and went according to Song Qian's instructions.
However, when the man saw the little lady coming over, he subconsciously took a few steps back, and his expression also changed subtly, but he quickly regained his composure, as if nothing had happened.
Song Qian didn't pay too much attention to him when he bought rouge gouache for his family, and concentrated on his own accounts.
"This boy, what kind of rouge gouache do you need? Whether it's traditional or exclusive to our shop." The little lady said the words that Song Qian taught herself, with a smile on her face. When the man's eyes fell on the private order counter, he hurriedly said, "Childe, if you need a private order, you want the girl to come here by herself, so that our shopkeeper can understand the real situation."
Hearing that the little lady did not dislike this plainly dressed man, Song Qian was very satisfied in her heart, knowing that her vision was good and she did not choose the wrong person.
The man looked away, didn't pay attention to the little lady's introduction, just walked straight inside, getting closer and closer to Song Qian's counter. And this move also successfully attracted Song Qian's attention. She looked at the man, smiled and asked, "This son, who asked you what you need?" Just take a look, we have a lot of stuff in our shop." With that, she put down her pen and walked out of the counter to introduce the man.
But she found that the man's interest was not what was in the shop, and the gaze fell straight on her, as if she wanted to see something. This couldn't help but make Song Qian a little uncomfortable, she looked at the man and thought he was uncomfortable, so she planned to ask. But suddenly she was stunned, because she suddenly felt in her mind that this person's face was very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.
Finding that Song Qian's eyes were strange when he looked at him, the man hurriedly turned around and removed his face from Song Qian's sight, and said, "I don't have anything I want here." With that, he hurried out of the place.
Song Qian wanted to catch up and see clearly, because she really felt that this person was familiar, but she couldn't remember where to see him
Yes, but the person has left, and she can only stop.
At this time, the little lady looked at the back of the man leaving, and couldn't help but say, "Why is this person so strange? Why come in if you don't have what you want? Could it be that they are deliberately playing tricks on us? The shopkeeper, this kind of person is already the third this month. Could it be that those jealous of our merchants sent it? It's just too despicable. Business can't compare to us, so we use this kind of means that can't be put on the table." Now it seems that this is very likely, otherwise how could a normal person be like this?
But Song Qian didn't think so, after all, this person's weirdness made her a little flustered, and she always felt that something bad was coming.
But this incident did not cause any impact, and this man has not appeared since this incident, so Song Qian quickly forgot about this matter, after all, there are more important things that bother her.
In the end, she couldn't suppress the suspicion in her heart, so she asked Zhou Yongde and Miao Shuxuan to investigate, but she didn't expect it to be really different from what she guessed, these two people were really connected.
This week Yongde was a down-and-out student, Miao Shuxuan was just the shopkeeper of a small shop, she left him to be the second child of the shop, but I didn't expect the business to get bigger and bigger, this week Yongde also became the shopkeeper of a shop from the running hall, this shop is ostensibly what Zhou Yongde said, but in fact, the real shopkeeper is Miao Shuxuan, who paid for it.
Song Qian knew that what he was thinking was right, how could this person get acquainted with him in a good manner, and he wanted to introduce business to himself, think about it carefully, a person like Miao Shuxuan, who has a good family background and will not have a bad business, will not give it to others if he is selfish.
"I see." Song Qian didn't expect that she had been calculated from the beginning, and this person was still her trusted partner.
But suddenly Song Qian thought of something wrong, and began to carefully look at the encounter between Zhou Yongde and Miao Shuxuan. It didn't take long for her to find the loophole.
Miao Shuxuan had a life-saving grace for Zhou Yongde, but the danger encountered by Zhou Yongde was very unreasonable, but things developed like this, and it seemed to be arranged.
