Chapter 36 Take the wrong medicine?

Your little head can turn quickly, so let's take a rest quickly. How to deal with it will have to wait until you see the situation clearly. " Fu Qingyu poked Jing Yi's forehead with his slender and fair fingers, and said with a smile

Jing Yi covered her forehead and acted like a baby with Fu Qingyu, the mother and daughter talked for a while, then fell asleep one after another.

In the next few days, Fu Qingyu seldom went out, but Jing Yi looked very busy going out early and returning late.

The daily meals are delivered to the room by the waiter. If they hadn't given the money in time, the waiter would have suspected that they were doing something shady.

"Shopkeeper, don't gossip about me. At first I thought that the young master came to Beijing, and it wouldn't be strange even if he brought his mother, but he didn't even touch the pen these days. It’s not the same, what do you think these two people are from?” The waiter in the shop said he was a buddy, but he was actually related to the innkeeper, to be precise, he was the brother-in-law of the innkeeper’s daughter-in-law.He is young and energetic, so he can help in the inn.

The abacus was crackling in the hands of the shopkeeper standing behind the counter, and he glanced at his brother-in-law who was leaning against the counter: "If you are too free, you can pluck the chicken feathers in the backyard, the young master you said, just ordered Tonight, I will make chicken soup for that lady."

"Tsk tsk, you're really particular. You said that although this lady's appearance is not particularly gorgeous, she makes people feel that she has an outstanding temperament. Could it be that she is the wife of a wealthy family who is away from home?"

The shopkeeper took the account book and knocked on the head of the waiter: "You think the teahouse listens to books, and they come out again and again."

"There are so many ladies who have gone out for you to meet, and you have stayed in our inn for so many days, and there is not even a maid by your side. Besides, that young master is alone, and there is no such thing as a book boy."

The waiter in the shop felt aggrieved: "That's not necessarily the case. If you don't go out of the gate and don't step forward, you have status. If it's our boss's name, who doesn't wake up early and stay late for food."

"Could it be a big family who came to the capital from other places to join?"

"Besides, you have only stayed in the capital for a short time, and the sedan chairs that we came across in two random steps here are full of high-ranking officials and dignitaries. Who would allow their female relatives to stay in the inn for so many days?" the shopkeeper said sarcastically. with.

"Shopkeeper, I heard that Marquis Zhenyuan has been looking for his wife all the time? The storytellers in the alley have already said that Marquis Zhenyuan lost his home in order to protect the current emperor, and he was separated from his wife for many years." Whispering in his ear, this matter is just rumored among the people, who knows if Zhenyuanhou really can find his wife.

Storytellers just make up a story, so that everyone can have something to talk about after dinner.

"Go, go! Work hard, boy, don't think about what you have all day long. How dare you make up his wife for such a character as Zhenyuanhou? Be careful about dividing your head."

"That's right, it seems that a few years ago, they distributed portraits door-to-door. But didn't they still take concubines later? How about this man..." the shopkeeper said, and suddenly stopped here, looking at the waiter in the shop with a look of surprise Say, keep talking, your face darkens: "I'm telling you what to do, hurry up and pluck the chicken feathers!"

"If you're lazy again, I'll tell your sister and let her clean you up!"

"Don't! Brother-in-law! Good brother-in-law! My sister's violent temper has not eaten me alive. Is it okay if I don't tell you?" The second shopkeeper in the shop stopped screaming, and directly called for brother-in-law to spare his life, and ran to the backyard without a trace.

"Hmph, don't forget to eat or fight, dare to gossip about anything, if it is the wife that Zhenyuan Hou is looking for, it will be fine. That is a reward of 500 taels of silver, if it is spread, it will be enough for the rest of my life to lie down and spend. "The shopkeeper snorted coldly, looking at the amount on the abacus and smiling happily.

The exam is good, the exam is wonderful, and the exam money is spent.During this period of time, the students who went to Beijing to rush for the exam arrived one after another, and the business of their inn was booming. Instead of thinking about Mrs. Hou who doesn't know where she is, it's better to earn money honestly.

As soon as the shopkeeper collected the account book, he saw the waiter slowly plucking chicken feathers when he arrived in the backyard. "Hurry up, and clean up the warehouse when you're done."

"Yes... yes..." The shop waiter reluctantly sped up his movements, scalded the chicken with boiling water and sent it to the kitchen, then hurried to the warehouse, there was no way, the brother-in-law was not scary, the sister was the hag.

"All the old sesame seeds and rotten millet are piled up here. I don't want to throw away some junk. It's stingy." The person fell down and crushed several wooden boxes in Curry that had been rotting for a long time.

"It hurts, hurts, hurts!" The waiter in the shop didn't care about the porcelain jar, so he yelled that it hurts.

"Damn it, even these rags dare to fight against me!" Holding back his breath, he picked up a nearby object and threw it out.

Unexpectedly, it was a kind of ledger. When it was thrown out, a piece of paper fell from it and it was already yellowed.

"What?" The waiter opened the paper curiously, wondering if it was a portrait of his brother-in-law and his lover?If that was the case, he would definitely sue her in front of his sister.

On the paper was a beautiful woman, with bright eyes and bright teeth, curved willow eyebrows, her clothes were not so gorgeous, her hands were folded, and the jade bracelet on her wrist made the waiter's eyes shine.

"Why does this bracelet look so familiar? I seem to have seen it somewhere?"

After thinking hard for a while, the appearance of the mother and child flashed into my mind, and the waiter suddenly stood up: "That's right, this bracelet is exactly the same as the one on that lady's wrist! Could it be that the lady is my brother-in-law's concubine?!"

The waiter in the shop was in a cold sweat, he was so courageous, he even arranged his concubine in the inn blatantly, but what happened to the young master?

He read the paper carefully again: "Phew, I was scared to death, but luckily it's not my brother-in-law's."

"What's written on it? Looking for someone, Zhenyuan Hou's Mansion rewards?" The waiter in the shop has limited literacy, but the 500 taels behind the word "reward" is very real and clear.

Be good!Had his luck finally come?Could that lady be the genuine lady that the Marquis of Zhenyuan couldn't find?

No, he had to check it out.If you make a mistake, don't tell me if there is reward silver, don't throw your life in it.

Putting all the things in the warehouse back, the waiter carefully folded the paper and put it in his arms, and then walked out as if nothing had happened.

"Your boy tidied up the warehouse for a long time. There are guests outside and no one is entertaining you. Hurry up and go to work!"

The shop assistant went to work without a word, but this weird situation made the shopkeeper a little puzzled: "This kid took the wrong medicine?"
