Haitang and others were worried about this matter, and their interest in shopping was greatly reduced.

After leaving the dim sum shop, they wandered around for a while, didn't buy anything, discussed in a whisper, and then simply returned to the teahouse. This time, they pretended not to know anything and went to the teahouse to consume, in fact, they wanted to ask someone about what happened in the morning under the pretext of having lunch.

In the private room on the second floor, the door of the first room is slightly damaged, and guests are not entertained for the time being; The second room was empty, and Mrs. Thursday's mother and daughter and Mrs. Chengenhou Shizi's mother and daughter had already left, so Zhou Wenjun simply chose this one. As for the downstairs lobby, there are a lot more guests, and a few tea customers who seem to be quite familiar are still in their original positions, adding new faces to them, whispering something to each other.

The shopkeeper and the guys in the teahouse seemed to be enthusiastic, as if nothing had happened. Zhou Yijun wanted to inquire about what happened in the morning, but the guy suddenly tightened his mouth, or Zhou Wenjun opened his mouth, and the accompanying healthy woman stuffed him with a reward, and he knew everything - it turned out that he didn't know Zhou Yijun's identity, but Zhou Wenjun, the eldest lady of the Zhenguo Mansion, opened his mouth, and he didn't dare to hide it.

The guys don't know about the situation of the two of them in the private room on Thursday, as for the private room where Tang Hui and Jin Shan went - yes, Miss Tang did send someone to book the private room next door in advance, and made an appointment with Jin Gongzi to meet. The guys brought tea and snacks to the city, but they weren't allowed to wait in front of them. They heard Miss Tang talking to Jin Gongzi about poetry, but they didn't think much about it.

Later, Mrs. Jin arrived with Mrs. Tang, and the former kicked the door directly into the private room, seemingly angry. The shopkeeper hurried over to see what was going on, but was stopped by the mother-in-law brought by Mrs. Tang. The woman simply lost the money, but asked the teahouse to keep silent about what she saw today.

The shopkeeper didn't dare to refuse, but he also understood that he told his mother-in-law that the teahouse opened the door to do business, and he would never casually spread the private affairs of the guests, but on the territory of Chang'an, some people came to ask, and they couldn't hide it - for example, the government came to investigate the case, or the generals of the Northwest Frontier Army came to investigate the son.

The Tang family's mother-in-law was not very satisfied with this, but she couldn't say anything more. She is also a native of Chang'an, so she naturally knows the unwritten rules of local merchants. With the current power of the Tang family, they can't stop everyone's mouths and ask insiders to keep silent in front of officials or side generals.

Mrs. Tang quickly took Miss Tang away, and her mother-in-law escorted the maid-in-law brought by Miss Tang away. Mrs. Jin and Mr. Jin stayed in the private room for a while, and the mother and son had an argument, but they left not long after. They did not pay for the refreshments and did not compensate for the loss of the tea house. It's just that Mrs. Tang gave the silver, and the shopkeeper didn't have much to do.

After Zhou Wenjun asked what happened at that time, he asked again: "My fourth aunt was sitting in this private room at that time, right?" Didn't they really hear it? ”

The guy pinched the silver bill in his hand and grinned, "Where can I be?" Miss, although the private room in this teahouse is exquisitely decent, but the walls are all made of wood, and the boards are thin, so it doesn't hurt to speak quietly, and if the voice is a little louder, the next door will definitely hear it! Do you listen? The sound of the piano downstairs came over, and it was very clear! ”

The design of the private room on the second floor is to allow the tea guests to be in the house and clearly hear the sound of the piano downstairs, and it is impossible to completely isolate the internal and external movements as soon as the door is closed. This teahouse has never been sold as a private room with strong privacy, but the signature is delicious dim sum and clever luthiers, as well as a spacious, bright and comfortable environment. If you really want to avoid people, don't ask to come to this kind of place.

Tang Hui, the eldest lady of Tang, is probably not a guest who often goes to the teahouse for recreation, so she chose the wrong place.

As soon as the guy explained this, Zhou Wenjun and the others understood.

Zhou Yijun also made a special experiment. She went to the private room next door to talk, and the louder voice was louder, so that the people in the private room here could hear it clearly. Sure enough, as the guy said, the wooden walls here are very poorly insulated.

Mrs. Thursday and Mrs. Cheng'en Hou Shizi must have heard everything at that time. If Tang Hui was just sitting with Jin Shan and talking quietly, they might not have noticed it, but Mrs. Jin kicked the door, and there was a shopkeeper negotiating with the Tang family's mother-in-law, etc., how could they not notice it next door? It's just that he heard the identity of the person and left a decent impression for his relatives, so he didn't make a noise.

Peng Yuqi rewarded the man again, and told him not to tell the four of them about the inquiry—unless the government came to investigate the case, or the border generals came to investigate the spy. The guy smiled and thanked the reward, and then comforted her: "Miss, don't worry, this is not a case, and the young lady of the Tang family and the young master of the Jin family are even more unlikely to be spies." Neither the government nor the generals will come to inquire. ”

Peng Yuqi smiled a little reluctantly. If the Tang family was angered by the Jin family's actions and did something to Jin Shan, it would really be a case......

The four girls ordered some food casually, ate it with the servants and girls who accompanied them, and after a hasty lunch, they went home separately.

When Haitang returned home, he found that the scandal between Tang Hui and Jin Shan had spread among the neighbors around the City God Temple.

Grandmother Ma also got the news from several good neighbors' wives, it is said that an old neighbor happened to go to the teahouse today to listen to music, and witnessed the farce of Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Tang coming to arrest their children for a private meeting. Although the big drama ended in a hurry, he actually didn't figure out what happened, but it was a fact that Miss Tang met privately with the young master of the Jin family in the private room of the teahouse.

Although the atmosphere in Chang'an City is quite enlightened, it is not so enlightened as to allow young men and women to meet privately in public. In addition, the wives and grandmothers of the Jin family talked to their acquaintances about the boldness of Miss Tang, saying that she dared to write a letter to ask a foreign man to meet and tell her heartfelt feelings in person...... Everyone was skeptical, and secretly couldn't help but talk about it.

Ma can't trust the Jin family: "Even if Miss Tang really has some meaning to the Jin family's brother, what is the idea of the Jin family spreading other people's gossip everywhere?" The toad wants to eat swan meat, it's really thick-skinned! She asked Haitang again, "Aren't you good friends with Miss Peng?" What is Miss Peng's plan? If she really has a marriage contract with the Jin family, she should retreat quickly, don't get entangled with that kind of family. If there is no marriage contract, she will quickly stay away. This Jin family is not a good person! She can't be calculated, and now even the daughter of the Tang family, they dare to think about it! ”

Haitang responded casually, and immediately wrote a letter to Zhou Wenjun after returning to the room, ordering Grape to run an errand for him.

Grape returned from the Zhenguo Mansion half an hour later, and brought her a reply letter from Zhou Wenjun, Zhou Yijun and Peng Yuqi.

After they returned to the Zhenguo Mansion, they also learned more news.

Zhou Wenjun sent someone home to report to Mrs. Tuesday, but unfortunately Mrs. Tuesday also went out shortly after she left home. Because Mrs. Tuesday mistakenly recommended her niece Tang Hui to the eldest son of Mrs. Cheng'en Hou Shizi, she offended people, and she had to think of an apology to apologize, so she found a few relatives and friends from her mother's family and exchanged them for a complete set of exquisite glass tea sets - the latest products of Chang'an Glass Workshop, as well as glass hand mirrors, colorful gems in the Western Regions, etc., which were intended to be used as gifts. By the time she returned home with the gift satisfied, it was already afternoon, and even if she received a message from Zhou Wenjun, she couldn't stop anything.

Mrs. Tuesday was in a hurry, and when she heard that Zhou Wenjun had arrived at home, she hurriedly ran to ask for clarification. Zhou Wenjun didn't hide it, so he told everything he knew, and also made it clear that Mrs. Chengen Hou Shizi and Mrs. Thursday were in the private room next door at the time, and most of them also heard what happened.

Mrs. Tuesday was full of remorse and only hated that she should not have gone out today. The gifts she had worked so hard to collect were now useless.
