Chapter 90: The Marionette

The two walked out of the Red Plum Pavilion, and a carriage was already waiting at the door, and it was Lin Mo who was driving.

Seeing Su Zhou and Su Shi coming out of the Red Plum Pavilion, Lin Mo immediately jumped down and said respectfully: "I've seen the eldest son and the second son." ”

Su Zhou waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to be polite, but Lin Mo insisted on giving Su Shi a big salute, and said respectfully: "Lin Mo and the other twelve brothers thank the second son." ”

Su Shi's spirit had been in a trance, and he came back to his senses after hearing Lin Mo's voice, and saw Lin Mo standing in front of him, looking at him respectfully.

"From a drunken country?"

"Yes."

Su Shi looked at the sky, it was about eight o'clock in the evening, and asked, "Is it already closed when you are drunk?" ”

Lin Mo immediately replied: "When I left, there were still five or six tables of guests, but it should be closed now." ”

"How's the earnings tonight?"

At the mention of this, Lin Mo's expression became more and more respectful.

"The proprietress changed the dishes according to the instructions of the son, and sold it for sixty-two taels and seven yuan in one night, and the profit was eighteen taels and four yuan, which was already half a month's profit from being drunk in another country."

Su Shi was not surprised by this result, he was more concerned about another matter.

"What about the kids?"

"They're all sensible and can all help." Speaking of this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "If it weren't for those children, the proprietress wouldn't be busy alone." Whether it's the proprietress or those children, I'm very grateful to you. ”

Su Shi said: "You help me tell the boss lady and treat those children well." I also have a plan for drunkenness, and to implement this plan, these children are important and indispensable. ”

Lin Mo was overjoyed and said, "I will definitely tell the proprietress about it." Then he paused and continued: "The proprietress actually treats those children as nephews, but the business was bleak before, so she is also powerless. Now that the business is good, she will take care of it wholeheartedly. Today, I also paid those children, even the little snot and the little sloppy. ”

Su Shi nodded and asked again, "Where do those children sleep at night?" ”

"Actually, those children sleep in a drunken country all the time." Lin Mojia said.

Su Shi nodded, and then stopped talking.

Lin Mo saw that his face was already tired, and immediately said earnestly: "Son, I have worked hard today, please get in the car and rest first." ”

After speaking, he helped Su Shi into the carriage.

Su Zhou stood aside, with a wry smile in his heart, because Lin Mo seemed to have forgotten that there was still the eldest prince of the General's Mansion standing next to him.

When Su Shi and Su Zhou got into the carriage, Lin Mo whipped a flower in the air, and the carriage slowly moved forward.

Su Zhou got into the carriage and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Do you really have a plan for getting drunk?" ”

Su Shi straightened his waist, nodded again, and said, "There is indeed a plan, but it will not be carried out until the business in the drunken country is stable, and the group of children are also familiar with it, so it is still early." ”

Su Zhou sat opposite him, looking at Su Shi with a tired face, and felt that his whole body was full of secrets.

Suddenly, his temperament has changed drastically, and his talent has also made many talents out of reach, and more importantly, even doing business is as easy as his fingertips.

Why does a person change so dramatically in just a few days?

Although Su Shi was a little tired, there were some things that stuck in his throat, and he was worried.

"Big brother."

"What's the matter?"

"Is the secret left by Hui Niang related to the royal family?"

Su Zhou didn't expect that he still remembered this matter, he was slightly stunned, and hesitated for a long time before slowly saying, "Yes." ”

Su Shi smiled bitterly: "Why do you want to get this secret?" ”

The royal family is ruthless, the secrets of the royal family should never be touched, with Su Zhou's political acumen, he already knows very well, so he should not be involved in this matter at all.

Su Zhou knew that Su Shi was worried about himself, he smiled and said to Su Shi with relief: "Although the secret left by Hui Niang is related to the royal family, things are not as you imagined, and it will not offend the royal family. The reason why I wanted to find what the comet had left behind was just to verify something. ”

Su Zhouyue explained, and Su Shi had more questions in his heart.

"Not what I thought it would be?" Su Shi rubbed his forehead and sighed: "The reason why Comet Niang was placed under house arrest is not because of this secret?" ”

"Yes."

Su Shi asked suspiciously, "In that case, why do you still take the risk of pursuing this secret?" ”

Su Zhou smiled faintly: "Because time has passed for a long time, and many people have forgotten it, so no one will care at all now." Don't you see, the Red Plum Pavilion is now free to enter and exit. ”

This is also what Su Shi couldn't figure out, in the capital, it can be said that every inch of land is gold, and the Red Plum Pavilion can be vacant until now, and it still maintains the original appearance of the year nine years ago.

"Whose property is the Red Plum Pavilion now?"

"Zhou Xuan."

Su Shi was stunned, this answer surprised him extremely much, and he vaguely felt that this mysterious Zhou Xuan seemed to be very interested in this secret.

He rolled his eyes and asked, "Who is Zhou Xuan?" ”

Su Shi had a good impression of Zhou Xuan and treated her as a friend, so even though he knew that her identity was mysterious, he didn't think about tracking her down.

But at this time, he wanted to know, because Zhou Xuan and his eldest brother seemed to have a very mysterious relationship.

"She's a good person." Su Zhou said lightly.

Su Shi sighed and said, "You know that this is not what I want to ask. ”

Su Zhou smiled: "Why didn't you ask her directly?" ”

Su Shi said angrily: "She's not here now." ”

Su Zhou thought for a while and said, "Let's wait for her to tell you in person." ”

"She'll tell me?"

"Yes. But ......"

"But what?"

"But after you found what Hui Niang left behind."

Su Shi finally couldn't help but ask, "I have two questions. ”

"What's the problem?"

"First question, why are you so sure I can find what Hui Niang left behind?"

"Because you're smart."

Su Shi sighed: "Big brother, can you touch your good son and say that you don't believe this reason." ”

Su Zhou asked rhetorically, "Do you think you're not smart?" ”

Su Shi could see that his eldest brother was unwilling to tell him, so he didn't dwell too much on this matter.

He immediately asked the second question.

"What are you asking for?"

As Su Zhou said, so many years have passed since this incident, and many people have forgotten about it, why does Su Zhou still remember it?

If Su Zhou couldn't give him a reasonable and satisfactory explanation, Su Shi made up his mind that he would put this matter aside and ignore it.

Because he doesn't like to be treated like a marionette by others, even if this person is his eldest brother.
