Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

Chapter 56
That's right, I've been in the shop for so long, and I haven't seen the shopkeeper, only a guy is busy here.

"My servant remembers that the shopkeeper of this shop is the nephew of the housekeeper, named Ge Qi. The housekeeper has never made any mistakes in the Ling family for many years, so Madam handed over this shop to his nephew to take care of it."

Yinzhu said: "My maidservant has met Ge Qi twice before, she looks honest, but she doesn't know what's going on inside."

Ling Youyao had some consideration in her mind: "Let's have a look first before we talk."

The housekeeper came from Huaizhou with his father, so it goes without saying that he is loyal, but his nephew is not sure.

After a while, the clerk came up with a few pieces of material, and said with a smile on his face: "Madam, take a look, do you like these?"

After all, he laid out the cloth one by one, both in color and pattern, it was better than the cloth just now.

Ling Youyao casually pointed to the material of vine purple, and asked him: "Do you think this material should be used to make upper garments or skirts?"

He frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Let's make the upper garment."

"Why?" Ling Youyao looked at him.

He smiled shyly: "Because my younger sister is about the same age as you, and she always wears purple clothes, I think you should be suitable, Madam."

Ling Youyao didn't expect him to answer like this, so she asked, "What's your name?"

"Oh, my name is Lu Sheng."

Ling Youyao secretly wrote down his name and said, "This is what I need."

Lu Sheng was overjoyed: "Hey, I'll wrap it up for you right now!" After finishing speaking, he happily took his things and left.

"By the way," Ling Youyao asked, "Where's the shopkeeper in your store?"

Lu Sheng didn't think much, and replied while packing: "The shopkeeper has something to do, so he let me watch the shop."

Ling Youyao looked around, and then looked at the young man behind the counter: "You are just a clerk, and the shopkeeper left you alone to watch the shop, so you are not afraid that you will be greedy for money?"

Hearing this, Lu Sheng was a little displeased. Although he hadn't read any books, he still knew etiquette, righteousness and shame.

Since Ling Youyao was a customer, even though he was unhappy, he still answered her seriously: "The shopkeeper trusts me, so he is relieved to let me watch the shop."

Ling Youyao asked again: "How long have you been here? How much salary do you get a month?"

Lu Sheng glanced at her suspiciously, how could any guest inquire about this?
"I just came here not long ago. I came here in May this year. The shopkeeper said that I would pay me five taels of silver a month."

After speaking, his voice became smaller and smaller.

It is true that the wages are five taels of silver a month, but except for the first month when the shopkeeper paid three taels of silver, he never paid wages again.

Ling Youyao noticed the change in his expression, she had a clue in her heart, and winked at Yinzhu.

Yinzhu understood, paid the money, and was about to leave with her things when she heard a pleasantly surprised voice from the door——

"I wonder what this lady wants to buy?"

Ling Youyao frowned, seeing the man in gray who smelled of alcohol walking towards her with bright eyes.

Lubao stepped forward vigilantly, protecting Ling Youyao behind her.

Yinzhu said: "He is Ge Qi."

After Ge Qi drank the wine, two blushes appeared on his pockmarked face, a large mole grew on his chin, and his triangular eyes narrowed slightly, looking very obscene.

"Ma'am looks familiar, I have never seen you so beautiful in Beijing."

When the words were ordinary, Lu Sheng interrupted him suddenly: "Shopkeeper, aren't you still awake? This lady is here to buy things in our store."

Ge Qi ignored his words and stared straight at Ling Youyao: "Ma'am, what do you want to buy? I just bought a batch of goods from Jiangnan, and they are all fashionable. If you like it, you may as well follow me to the backyard to see Look?"

After the words fell, Lu Bao jumped out and cursed angrily: "Well, you shameless scoundrel, how dare you speak rudely to my wife!"

"Hey! How dare a girl scold me for making movies?" Ge Qi hiccupped, "Master Careful, I'll deal with you later!"

Ling Youyao looked at him with a smile: "Who do you want to deal with?"

Ge Qi turned his head to look at her, and said with an apologetic smile: "This girl is so arrogant, if you keep such a person by your side, something will happen sooner or later. If you lack a maid, I have a distant cousin who is diligent and good-looking, I can Let her serve you."

"As for the monthly silver, ten taels of silver a month is fine."

Ling Youyao sneered in her heart, he really dared to speak, Yinzhu and Lubao are first-class maidservants, they only cost eight taels of silver a month, and he paid ten taels when he opened his mouth, what a big face.

"Your request is a bit high"

Ling Youyao smiled, and then said to Lu Sheng: "From now on, you are the shopkeeper of this shop."

Lu Sheng was dumbfounded: "Huh?"

Ge Qi's head was dizzy, and then he realized: "Who is the shopkeeper of this shop, and there is no one outsider to comment!"

Although Ling Youyao had a smile on her face, her eyes were cold, and then she shouted at the door: "Xia Cheng!"

Xia Cheng, who was waiting outside the door, came in in response, "What's the matter, Princess?"

"Princess?" Ge Qi's eyes paused. Besides Concubine Jing, is there any other concubine in Beijing?And isn't Princess Jing the lady of his employer?

Ling Youyao raised her finger and pointed at Ge Qi, and said with a smile: "He is disrespectful to my concubine, so I tied him up."

"Yes!" Xia Cheng made a decisive decision and restrained Ge Qi.

This time Ge Qi was completely sober, and kept begging for mercy: "Princess, please spare me! The little one has eyes but no eyes, and your lord has a lot, so let's spare the little one this time—"

There are too many nobles in the capital, he doesn't say he recognizes all of them, but he knows most of them. Who would have thought that the ordinary woman in front of him would be Princess Jing?

It's really moldy!

Ling Youyao said leisurely: "I'm not an adult, an adult is waiting for you in the Ministry of Punishment."

Xia Cheng kicked Ge Qi: "Dare to be disrespectful to the princess, how courageous!" After speaking, he dragged him out forcibly.

After Ge Qi was taken away, Lu Sheng came to his senses, and looked at Ling Youyao with dull eyes: "Are you Princess Jing?"

Ling Youyao nodded: "Ge Qi is gone, now you are the shopkeeper of this shop, I will ask someone to settle your wages for the previous few months, and I will tell you how to do business later."

After Ling Youyao and the others left, Lu Sheng still couldn't believe that he had only been working for three months, and he became the shopkeeper?

After leaving the shop, Yin Zhu said to Ling Youyao: "It's appropriate for a servant to look at that Lu Sheng, but do you really want to hand over the shop to him? What if he is like Ge Qi."

Ling Youyao said: "He won't."

She purposely spoke provocative words, although Lu Sheng was not happy, he still answered her seriously.From this point alone, it can be seen that he and Ge Qi are not the same kind of people.

Yinzhu didn't say any more, just asked: "Princess, are we going back now?"

"Go back," Ling Youyao said, holding up her skirt to get into the car, "It's getting late, it's time to go back and prepare dinner for the prince."

"." I haven't seen you cook in person.

When the carriage was far away, Pei Ce upstairs looked away reluctantly: "It's really her."

　Three days of vacation, three thousand codewords... I promise not to fish next time
