Chapter 264: Dead Man
Ruan Tang followed the direction pointed out by Shopkeeper Luo, and when he reached the second floor, he turned to the southeast.
The style of this inn is circular, with a total of two grand staircases.
There are three floors in total, and each floor will have one or two VIP rooms, and the southeast of the second floor is where the most exclusive rooms on the second floor are located.
Ruan Tang didn't have much effort to find the target room.
When she came, she inquired that this merchant had some money on him, and he was a willing to spend money, so the room he lived in must be of high standard.
Ruan Tang walked to the door of the wing, folded her hands in front of her, and put on a dignified appearance before signaling Xiaofeng to knock on the door for her.
After knocking on the door, the two waited for a while, but the door did not open, and there was no response from inside.
Ruan Tang had no choice but to signal Xiaofeng to knock again.
After waiting for a while, there was still no movement.
Ruan Tang couldn't help frowning.
"Madam, why don't I go down and ask Shopkeeper Luo, should this person have gone out, he remembered it?"
Since Ruan Tang gave birth to the child, she didn't let Xiaofeng and Ling Qing call her master, originally let them call her by her name, but they refused.
After thinking about it, I had to let them call themselves 'madam'.
In this way, it also saved Ruan Tang a lot of trouble.
Because she often needs to go out and show her face, if she is a single woman, many things are not particularly convenient.
For example, if you buy a house, although the landlord does not look at the proof of whether you are married, if you know that you are an unmarried single woman, you will not want to buy or rent the house.
Although she can buy it in the name of Xiaofeng and Qingfeng.
That's what she used to do.
And she used to be a single woman, so she didn't have anything to worry about.
But she is now the mother of two children, and it would be more appropriate to call her Mrs. outside.
It can also eliminate a lot of gossip.
Ruan Tang nodded, "Go ahead, there are many customers in this store, and it's not surprising that he forgot it for a while." ”
Xiaofeng turned around and went downstairs to find Shopkeeper Luo, while Ruan Tang stood in place and waited.
It's just that she just glanced sideways slightly at other places when she saw a familiar figure.
But soon the figure was blocked by the pillars of the porch.
Ruan Tang's curiosity was aroused, and she couldn't help but take a few steps forward, poking her head to look at the pillar.
It's okay not to look at it, but when she saw it, she was stunned, but she quickly reacted and hurriedly ran down to a pillar next to her and hid.
She actually saw Ruan Qingluan.
When the Ruan family overturned, she knew that Ruan Qingluan had taken refuge with Shen Qianyi.
Ruan Qingluan didn't harm herself, so she didn't pay attention to her anymore.
I didn't expect to see her here after many years.
It's just how did she end up here?
She took refuge in Shen Qianyi, even if she couldn't enter the Guogong Mansion as the wife of the prince, it would be okay to be a concubine for Shen Qianyi, so how could she come here? What are you doing here?
Ruan Tang hid behind the pillars and peeked his head out to look at her.
She was joined by a fat-headed, big-eared man.
While speaking, Ruan Qingluan also held his arm, and the gesture of the two was intimate, not like ordinary friends.
Could it be that this Ruan Qingluan was abandoned by Shen Qianyi? She's climbed up to someone else now?
Ruan Tang couldn't help but be curious in his heart.
Anyway, she didn't want Ruan Qingluan to know that she was here.
She took advantage of Ruan Qingluan and the fat-headed and big-eared man to enter the wing, and she hurriedly went downstairs.
Xiaofeng happened to ask Shopkeeper Luo, and was about to go up to find Ruan Tang, but he didn't expect that as soon as he walked up the stairs, he saw Ruan Tang coming down the stairs with a anxious face.
Xiaofeng wanted to call her, but was stopped by Ruan Tang raising his hand.
Ruan Tang said softly: "Go back first." ”
Xiaofeng was puzzled, but didn't say anything, turned around and walked downstairs with Ruan Tang.
Shopkeeper Luo saw that Ruan Tang had also come down, and hurriedly greeted him.
"Boss Ruan, that guest ......"
"Shopkeeper Luo, I still have something to do in the store, I'll go back first, and I'll come to find that distinguished guest another day."
"Okay, Boss Ruan, you go to get busy first, and come back when you are free, anyway, the guest paid for a month's room, and he probably won't leave so soon."
Ruan Tang nodded at him, and then took Xiaofeng to prepare to leave the inn.
But as soon as she stepped out of the threshold of the inn, she stopped and folded to the shopkeeper's table.
"Shopkeeper Luo, how long has the guest been living here in the peony wing room on the second floor?"
Shopkeeper Luo got the benefits of Ruan Tang, but he didn't hide anything from her.
"I just came, I checked in yesterday, and it just so happened that the girl in the wing room has the same surname as Boss Ruan, and she is also surnamed Ruan."
Ruan Tang bent the corners of his mouth at her, he knew it in his heart, and he was secretly relieved.
She took Xiaofeng out of the inn, and then explained a few words to Xiaofeng, and then got into the carriage and went home, not even staying in the restaurant.
She doesn't want to have anything to do with the people and things in the past, and Ruan Qingluan is not a good person in the first place, so it's better not to let her know that she is here.
After Ruan Tang got into the carriage, she was not in a hurry to go back, but turned to the building she wanted to buy.
After leaving the inn, Xiaofeng mentioned to her what he asked from Shopkeeper Luo.
It turned out that the merchant was a strange man, and he rarely went out, usually his personal entourage went out to do things for him, and occasionally once or twice the shopkeeper saw him go out, but he wore a hat.
Just now, Ruan Tang and the others knocked on the door, but he didn't open it, presumably because the entourage was not there, so he didn't open it.
Ruan Tang didn't think there was anything either.
She has traveled all over the world before, and she has been doing business for so many years, and she has seen all kinds of people, and she doesn't think it's strange like this.
It's just that the communication habits of individuals are different.
Now that you know his character, even if you go to the inn to look for him again, you may not be able to see anyone.
Instead of this, it is better to go to the landlord to discuss it again, and it is a big deal to add some money yourself, so that the landlord and the merchant can discuss, maybe it will work.
When Ruan Tang arrived at the building, the door was open.
Ruan Tang was overjoyed.
She hurriedly got out of the car and walked in, and sure enough, the owner of the building happened to be there, and there was a strange man next to her.
When the landlord saw it, he was also very surprised, "Boss Ruan, why are you here?" ”
I had already explained to Ruan Tang that he had promised more people than her to bid for this building.
Ruan Tang didn't say anything before, he thought she had given up, but he didn't expect to come again today, which surprised him.
"Isn't it like you can't sleep when you go back? Thinking about it, don't you come to ask Boss Zhang anymore, and see if you can discuss it again? Ruan Tang greeted him with a smile.
The landlord looked embarrassed, and then looked at the man next to him.
"Boss Ruan is really embarrassed, it is this son who wants to buy my building, and we are about to sign the deed and pay the money."
Ruan Tang couldn't help but turn his eyes to look at the man, and the man also nodded slightly at her when Ruan Tang looked over.
