I'm a detective for Dongchang

Chapter 5 Boss Shang's Reception

When Lu Xizhi ran back to Xiansi Building with all his strength, he was already sweating profusely, and the only brows and eyes that had been smeared were all glued to his face at this moment, and he looked like a poor little girl who had cried eight hundred times.

"Yu Niang, Yu Niang, things have changed, hurry up and change my clothes again."

"I dare to change your clothes this morning, Lu Xizhi, what are you up to? If you don't talk about it, I won't listen." Yu Niang raised her hands and turned her face to the other side, ignoring her.

"My dear Yu Niang, I will explain to you later and help me out." Lu Xizhi was already good-looking, but now with a pitiful expression and fancy makeup, Yu Niang laughed out loud, coquettishly He poked her forehead with his fingers, changed her back into women's clothes with the girls without a word, and quickly cleaned up her face again.

Chunxiang walked in at this time, seeing her lady was sweating profusely and flustered, "Miss, what are you..."

"Let's go!" He tore off a veil casually.

"Miss, where are we going?" Chunxiang walked briskly for a while, seeing that it was not the way home, she couldn't help asking. "It's almost lunch time, if you don't go home again, Mrs. Madam should be really anxious."

Lu Xizhi waved his hand to signal her to be at ease, and after walking for about a quarter of an hour, he arrived at the Lingshu Building.

This is a two-story teahouse with new decoration.She heard from her elder brother that the owner of the teahouse is his classmate, surnamed Shang and named Shijie.His family has been in the tea business for generations, and his father's generation has even developed trade contacts with some foreign businessmen, and his family is very wealthy.But no matter how good or big the business is, it is still just a merchant. Therefore, after Shang Shijie, the eldest son, was admitted as a scholar at the age of 15, someone from the merchant is finally in sight.The head of the family was very happy, so he transferred this shop with the best business in the city to him. Although it only has two floors, the traffic of people is very large and concentrated, so the business has been good.A proper rich second generation, Lu Ziyi had brought her here to drink tea a few times, so the shopkeeper recognized her.

Walking into the first floor, it is not too big or too small, just enough to set up ten tables.Lu Xizhi led Chunxiang to find the innermost seat and sat down. The store clerk saw Lu Xizhi was dressed in ordinary clothes and wanted to put on a show to greet him.

"Miss Lu, you are here. Our head of the house asked why the girl hadn't come for so long yesterday, and thought it was some time before that she was neglected to drink tea to offend you."

As early as the moment Lu Xizhi stepped through the door, the shopkeeper noticed her.The head of the family specifically instructed that Miss Lu must be well received when she comes, and she must also inform him.Although he didn't know who this Miss Lu was from, he didn't dare to delay what the head of the family had told her.After Lu Xizhi was seated, he quickly ordered the new Xiaoer to go to the courtyard to find Shang Shijie, then went to the kitchen to order a few new snacks, and finally went to treat him with a pot of tea himself.

Of course, the master and servant had no idea of ​​the shopkeeper's arrangement.Although Lu Xizhi came here with a plan, but he was a little shy and just wanted to order a pot of tea. Now looking at this table of dim sum and the enthusiastic attitude of the shopkeeper, Lu Xizhi was a little confused.

"Boss, we didn't order these, did you make a mistake?" Chunxiang clutched the small purse around her waist, and looked warily at the shopkeeper who poured water for them.

"Miss Lu, don't worry about it. This is a little care of our family. You can use it slowly. Just call me if you need anything. Excuse me first." The shopkeeper retired very politely.

"Miss, are you familiar with their head?"

Shang Shijie?She and his eldest brother came here to drink tea three times in total, and she didn't have any impression of this rich second generation. She only knew that he was very rich, and every time he was there, he would be very lively and liked to dress fancy.As for this special care, Lu Xizhi felt very inexplicable.

"Unfamiliar."

"Oh miss, what are we doing here?"

"It's nothing, just sit down."

Chunxiang saw that something was wrong with Lu Xizhi, and immediately sat obediently at the table. "Miss, aren't you hungry?" It was lunch time, and Chunxiang was already hungry, but facing the table full of delicious food, the lady didn't move, so she didn't dare to move.

It's not that Lu Xizhi is not hungry, but she firmly believes that if there is nothing to do, it's either rape or robbery!I would rather be hungry than eat this table.

After a cup of tea, the number of teahouse guests gradually increased.

"Miss Lu, long time no see."

Lu Xizhi kept paying attention to the endless stream of people at the door, and the sudden male voice beside her made her raise her eyes impatiently.Hey, isn't it the one who only met a few times, the behind-the-scenes boss of Lingshulou——Shang Shijie.

This is actually a handsome and good-looking man, his face is like a carved version with distinct features, a tall nose bridge, handsome sword-shaped eyebrows, temples like a knife cut, under a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows is a pair of peach blossom eyes that seem to be affectionate, black and thick hair is bundled up stand up.With a cynical voice, a red robe, and leaning crookedly by the table, he is simply a slutty dude.

Lu Xizhi didn't want to talk to her at first, but after thinking about it, this is her territory, and she is considered polite to her, and she is Lu Ziyi's classmate, so he should give her a gift in return.

So, Lu Xizhi stood up and bowed to him: "Thank you, Boss Shang, I want to listen to the book today. My brother wanted to bring me here, but his wife left him at home temporarily, so I came alone." , she will.

Shang Shijie didn't expose it either, seeing that a table of dim sum hadn't been used, "Isn't this to Ms. Lu's taste? That's really Shijie's fault, isn't it, he's being negligent. I have a good relationship with Ziyi, and his sister is me. Sister, don't be polite to me. Why don't you tell me what you like to eat, and I'll let the kitchen do it."

Look, sister sister, who is your sister!Lu Xizhi didn't want to get too entangled with him, and was about to issue an order to evict him.

"Lu Xizhi!"

not good!After glaring at Shang Shijie fiercely, Lu Xizhi turned his head resignedly, "Brother!"

Shang Shijie shouted in his heart that he was wronged, he came here specially for the beautiful woman, how could he tell the truth.

"Ziyi, I just got some new tea yesterday, you can smell it now?" He told Lu Ziyi to sit down, seeing that the two siblings seemed to be at odds, and hurried to make tea.

When Shang Shijie went to the waiter, Lu Ziyi's face was pulled down, and his sharp eyes were fixed on his sister who was drooping his head. "Where did you go all morning? Your run made us feel good, and then you drank tea here by yourself? And ordered such a table." With a blow of the fan, he turned his face to the side: "It's a pity that if you are still at home to appease father, You really have a conscience."

Lu Xizhi knew he was wrong. To be honest, the Lu family was really harmonious. Even though Lu Zhonglian had three wives and concubines, they were surprisingly harmonious.

The mistress of the household is the concubine daughter of Li Shilang from the Ministry of Officials, and she is the daughter of the old Dalu Ziyi; the biological mother of the second daughter, Lu Xiruo, Aunt Wang is the concubine of Wang Shilang from the Ministry of Rites; and she is the third, and her biological mother Zheng Jinzhi is just a small merchant. home daughter.Although Lu Zhonglian's heirs are thin, they are just like that. Those supposed to be dirty and intriguing in the ancient house can't be seen in this family at all.The mistress, Li Wenjun, was also very kind to the two concubine daughters, without any neglect, and even invited a female gentleman to teach girls at home. As a modern person in the 21st century, Lu Xizhi was satisfied and happy with this.

"Brother, you love my younger sister the most, right? I've never seen that Liao, how can I marry you? You and your second sister are married to each other. They are childhood sweethearts. I also want to find someone I like!"

Lu Ziyi's expression eased slightly, but he seemed to think of something: "Nonsense, since ancient times, according to the order of parents and matchmaker, this marriage was arranged by father and Uncle Liao long ago. If you avoid seeing him again and again, where is father?" " He paused, and then said: "What's more, that Liao Chenlin is handsome, academically motivated, and upright, don't you even believe what your elder brother says?"

Lu Xizhi knew that he couldn't convince him for the time being, her little face was flushed, tears were rolling in her eyes, and her small appearance was not to mention pitiful.

When Shang Shijie came out of the tea room, he saw the little girl's grievance, as if his heart was scratched by a cat's paw, he thought for a while, and walked over calmly.

"Brother Ziyi, what are you brothers and sisters talking about?" He said, holding the freshly brewed teapot, pouring tea skillfully.

"Quick taste my new tea. This year, the following tea households have collected less than [-]% of it. It is easy not to offer it to customers."

The scent of tea temporarily dispelled the little unhappiness between the siblings.Lu Ziyi is very good at drinking tea, so when he was studying, he and Shang Shijie could chat because of tea, and after a long time, they became friends with similar interests.

"Thank you, Brother Shijie, Sister She didn't cause you any trouble." After speaking, he glanced at the snacks on the table, regretting that he probably had a little amount of ingredients in his purse, which was not enough to pay for the meal.

"Where is it, Xizhi's younger sister is cute and cute. It just so happens that the shop has recruited a new chef who specializes in making refreshments. Isn't it just a coincidence that I saw my younger sister and asked her to help me taste it?"

Lu Ziyi felt a little relieved, and also felt that he was a little anxious just now, and was about to appease his sister, but was interrupted by a voice.

"Is the shopkeeper here? The Yamen investigates the case and comes out to speak."

Lu Xizhi hurriedly turned her head, wasn't it the catcher Zhao she was waiting for?
