marquis of jingan

Chapter 560 Goodbye Pipa Jue

As a senior in the officialdom, an elder in the academy, and even a local official in the imperial court, Zhao Changping's vision and insight surpassed Shen Yi's in many ways.

Therefore, after talking with Zhao Changping, Shen Yi had a clearer understanding of his current situation, which can be said to have benefited a lot.

After staying at Zhao's house for one night, when it was getting dark, he left Zhao's house in a carriage and went back home to rest.

That night, Shen Yi also went to bed early, and the next morning, after the sun shone into the yard, he got up and was in a daze in his own yard.

In the morning, apart from receiving a few letters, he was either holding the child or in a daze.

After eating at noon, Shen Yi hesitated, then left home and went to the Cuiyun Tower in the north of the city.

Cuiyun Tower was originally Xu Fu's property, because he was willing to spend money to recruit master chefs to come here. Now it is one of the more famous restaurants in Jiankang City, and the business is quite good. When Shen Yi walked to Cuiyun Tower, It was already past the meal time in the afternoon, but there were still seven or eight tables of people eating in the lobby on the first floor of Cuiyun Building, which was quite lively.

Shen Yi walked to the counter and saw that the shopkeeper was a middle-aged man in his early 40s. Master Shen coughed and asked, "Shopkeeper, is your boss here?"

The shopkeeper first looked up at Shen Yi, and seeing that Shen Yi was well dressed, the impatient expression on his face slowly dissipated. The shopkeeper took a cautious look at Shen Yi and asked, "Young master, who are you?"

"My surname is Shen."

Shen Yi smiled and said: "It's an old friend of your boss's family, I have something to see her."

After the shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, he still bowed his head and said "wait a moment", and then sent someone to report.

Not long after, a girl in a beautiful little dress came down from the stairs on the second floor of Cuiyun Building. The girl first glanced at the counter, and when she saw Shen Yi's back, she was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly quickened her pace. Walked in front of Shen Yi in three or two steps, and said a blessing respectfully: "My lord."

Shen Yi turned his head, looked the girl up and down, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days, but my little girl looks better again."

After hearing the conversation between the two, the shopkeeper of Cuiyun Building couldn't help but widen his eyes.

He has been in Cuiyun Building for some time. According to what he saw and heard in his daily life, only the five sworn brothers of his boss would call her little sister. Now who are the bosses of the major restaurants and restaurants in Jiankang City? When you see your boss, don't you call him Liu Niang?
Xu Liuniang is only sixteen or seventeen years old at the moment, she blushed, lowered her head slightly and said, "Master, you made fun of me."

"You go upstairs and sit for a while, and I will prepare a good banquet for you."

Shen Yi shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "I'm not here for dinner today, I'll come to your place another day to cheer you on."

Speaking of this, Master Shen coughed and pointed to the outside of the restaurant: "Shall we go out and talk?"

Xu Liuniang responded, greeted the shopkeeper behind her, and followed Shen Yi out of the restaurant.

After leaving the restaurant, the two of them walked to a secluded corner, before Shen Yi said straight to the point: "Little sister, I want you to take me to see Master Gu."

Speaking of this, Shen Yi sighed a little embarrassedly: "I shouldn't have come to disturb you, but Xu Fu is not in Jiankang, so I can only come to find you."

Xu Liuniang looked at Shen Yi and said with a smile: "Young master, you are offended by this. It is my honor for you to come to see me in person."

"It stands to reason that I should go to the mansion to meet you."

Speaking of this, Xu Liuniang lowered her head slightly and said, "If elder brother finds out that you came here in person, after returning to Jiankang, he will most likely blame me."

Shen Yi smiled dumbly: "Xu Fu's temperament is a bit rigid, you don't need to pay attention to him, we are friends with each other, how can there be so many rules?"

Xu Liuniang covered her mouth with a smile, and then said, "You wait here, I'll call a car, and then I'll take you to see Miss Gu."

"Well...don't worry, I still have some things to do before I go to see her, half an hour later, I will come here to see you again."

Xu Liuniang responded, turned around and left.

And Shen Yi also left Cuiyun Tower. He circled around in the alley, and finally came to a dead end, then turned around suddenly, and finally saw a figure following him the moment he left the alley.

"Brother!"

Shen Yi shouted loudly: "I have something to ask you!"

The figure paused for a moment, then stopped in place, and after a while, walked in front of Shen Yi, bowed to Shen Yi and said: "Mr. Shen."

Shen Yi ran for a long time, and now he was panting helplessly: "Why do you inner guards also learn to flatter?"

The inner guard scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

"Master Shen, you are looking for us, what's the matter?"

"It's hard to know that you are always with me to protect me."

Shen Yi took a few breaths, then took out a bank note from Jiankang Bank in his sleeve, and said, "This is 50 taels of silver, brother, take it and take your brothers to drink tea and drink, this afternoon..."

"Don't follow me anymore."

The inner guard was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head: "How did this happen? This is an errand assigned by the superiors, and our brothers must not slack off for a moment!"

Shen Yi looked serious, and said in a low voice: "You report it, just say that this is what Eunuch Gao meant. If you don't believe me, you can ask Lu Weishuai to ask Eunuch Gao."

After hesitating for a while, the inner guard still put the redemption ticket in his arms, and then cupped his hands to Shen Yi with a respectful expression: "Thank you, Mr. Shen, for the reward, that little one..."

"Just ask?"

"Well...you just go."

Shen Yi waved at him.

At this time, Master Shen was very sure that the inner guard would definitely do what he wanted.

Because of everyone's affairs, the less people know about it, the better. Eunuch Gao is not willing to let the inner guards know about it. Although the inner guards are the emperor's pro-army, after all, there are many people with mixed opinions, so if it gets out.

It's always bad.

As for Shen Yi's personal safety.

Unless there are spies from Northern Qi in the top ranks of the inner guard, it is unlikely that the Northern Qi people will be able to take advantage of this gap in defense.

Besides, in Jiankang City, in broad daylight, the possibility of them doing something is very small.

After making arrangements for the inner guard, Shen Yi went back to Cuiyun Tower. At this moment, Xu Liuniang was already waiting in a carriage.

Shen Yi was not polite either, and after getting into the carriage, he sat face to face with Xu Liuniang.

The carriage moved slowly.

In the carriage, Xu Liuniang lowered her head. After hesitating for a long time, she gritted her teeth and said, "Master, brother..."

"When will you be back?"

Shen Yi was a little puzzled: "He didn't tell you?"

Xu Liuniang was a little aggrieved, and snorted in a low voice: "He still treats me like a child, and he doesn't want to tell me anything."

Speaking of this, the little girl's eyes turned red: "He still wants to marry me off."

She looked up at Shen Yi and bit her lips: "My lord, when he comes back, please help me persuade him, I don't want to marry, I want to stay with my elder brothers for the rest of my life..."

Shen Yi raised his head, glanced thoughtfully at the little girl in front of him, and then said with a smile: "Like Xu Fu?"

Xu Liuniang's face turned red all of a sudden, she lowered her head, and said in a low voice, "No...it's nothing, my lord, don't talk nonsense..."

Although the two of them are brothers and sisters with the same surname, they are not related by blood. Even Xu Liuniang's surname Xu was obtained from Xu Fu. Speaking of which, if two people get married, there is no problem at all.

Xu Fu is the eldest brother of this group of people, and has taken care of them since childhood. It is only normal for Xu Liuniang to develop love from this.

Faced with this kind of childlike thoughts, Shen Yi just squinted his eyes and smiled: "He is in Fujian, and his business is doing well now. I think he should be back by the end of the year. When he comes back, I will find time to talk to him."

Xu Liuniang's face was still red, she lowered her head and said, "Mr... what do you want to mention to the elder brother?"

Shen Yi smiled playfully: "What do you think I want to mention to him?"

"I...I don't know."

Xu Liuniang covered her face with her hands, and was too shy to say a word.

After running around Jiankang City for a few laps, the carriage finally came to a small courtyard not far from the Imperial City.

This place is not the place where everyone lived in the first place. Apparently, this Qinhuai famous prostitute has already moved.

After getting out of the carriage, Xu Liuniang led Shen Yi to the gate of the courtyard. Most of the blush on her face had dissipated by now, and she said softly, "My lord, this is where Miss Gu lives. I usually come to talk to them. Brother is not coming."

Shen Yi smiled slightly: "You should come."

"Knock on the door."

Xu Liuniang responded, reached out and knocked on the courtyard door, and said, "Miss Gu, Miss Gu, my son has something to ask for you."

Soon, the courtyard door opened.

A girl with a beautiful face, dressed in white, who looked like an outsider, stood in the yard and looked up at Shen Yi behind Xu Liuniang.

It was Gu Hengbo, a famous prostitute in the Qinhuai River, the pipa Yijue.

She hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Is it... Mr. Shen?"

Shen Yi smiled and nodded: "Gu everyone don't recognize me?"

Gu Hengbo shook his head and spoke softly.

"Young Master Shen is a bit darker."

After all, she turned sideways.

"Master Shen, please come in."
