Rebellious Contract Beast

"Wait first!"

When He Jian Chuyun was about to open the warehouse door and walk out, Shen Yi from behind suddenly said this, then turned around and walked towards the back, not knowing what he was looking for.

"What are you looking for?"

"That's weird, where was the caterpillar yesterday?"

"Caterpillar? What are you doing looking for that disgusting thing?"

"I just want to see what that poor caterpillar looks like when you step on it."

"I obey you..." Tsurumi Chuyun rolled her eyes and felt speechless. But even if she was speechless, she still leaned against the door and waited for him.

Over there, Shen Yi searched for a while, but couldn't find the caterpillar that she had trampled to death at night. She quickly gave up and didn't take it too seriously.

"Let's go."

After leaving the warehouse, Tsurumi Chuyun and Shen Yi came to the front of the winery. At this time, the door of the winery had been opened, and workers were gathering here one after another. Yang Bayuan had also started shouting with Yang Bo and Li Rong a long time ago. , telling the workers to work quickly and not to delay.

Needless to say, to the boss, Yang Bayuan is a very qualified manager, but to the workers, he is a heinous exploiter.

Let's put it this way, he wished that these workers had to work in the winery 24 hours a day without a moment's rest. Although the problem of the winery has not been solved yet, under his command, he forced the workers to face the problems in the winery. According to his wishes, after all the buildings in the winery are repaired, workers will be ready to build some more buildings in relatively open areas of the winery.

There are also flowers and plants in the winery that need to be pruned and pruned. If the problems of the winery are not solved after these things are done, he seems to want the workers to turn the woods behind into a grand view garden.

No matter what, he always found a way to keep these workers busy.

Fortunately, the old witch increased the wages of each worker to one tael of silver per month. If the wages were still the same, just with Yang Bayuan's orders, these workers might have made trouble.

But such things happen everywhere. To be honest, even if the old witch doesn't improve her salary, the original three hundred and fifty yuan a month is already considered kind. As far as Shen Yi knows, in Jiangzhou City, one hundred yuan a month is enough. , there are many people with one hundred and twenty dollars.

People are willing to do this kind of work just to get food and accommodation included. Better places include two meals a day, while inferior places include one meal a day.

In addition, productivity is low, and most of the resources are occupied by the bourgeoisie at the top, with no turn for the common people at all.

After giving instructions for today's work, Yang Bayuan yawned and seemed to be preparing to go back to the house for another nap. However, he turned around and saw Tsurumi Chuyun. His spirits were lifted and he hurriedly ran over with small steps. , arrived and asked with a surprised look on his face: "Miss, when did you come? Why did you come so early today?"

"I just came here, you didn't see me."

"Just arrived?" Yang Bayuan turned his head and glanced in the direction of the winery door. When the door opened, he was already standing guard in front. Until now, he had never seen Tsurumi Chuyun come in.

But seeing that Chuyun was the master, Tsurushi wouldn't think so much and just asked: "Miss just came out of the warehouse?"

"Yeah." Tsurumi Chuyun nodded.

"Then what did the lady find?"

"No."

A look of disappointment flashed across Yang Bayuan's face, but he quickly recovered. After all, he had long been used to it.

"Miss, I have thought carefully about what you said in the past two days, but now I still think that it is better for you to stay put. The Tiger Gang is not a good person after all. My plan is to contact the master's family first, and then we can do something about it. Plan, otherwise Miss, you alone can’t deal with those thugs!”

"Okay Yang Bayuan, I know what you said in my heart. The Tigers will help me and I won't move for the time being. Don't worry. But now I'm just looking for you to get to know them."

"Those people from the Tiger Gang?"

"Well, what do you know about them?"

"Well..." Yang Bayuan thought for a while and quickly replied: Miss, the Tiger Gang is very powerful in Jiangzhou City. There are thousands of disciples in the gang, and there are six gangs in it, namely Chihu. Hall, Black Tiger Hall, White Tiger Hall, Evil Tiger Hall, Ghost Tiger Hall and Fuhu Hall, and my people recently learned about a major event about the Tiger Gang. "

"What's the big deal?"

"The leader of the Tiger Gang, King Tiger, is seriously ill and will probably pass away soon. Now the six hall leaders are ready to make a move and all want to compete for the position of gang leader."

"Oh." Tsurumi Chuyun responded expressionlessly. She wasn't interested in any of this, she just wanted to get a general understanding. But when she was about to ask another question, Shen Yi behind him suddenly stopped. Touch the hem of her skirt.

Sensing Shen Yi's abnormality, she turned her head and glanced back at him. She seemed to understand what he meant, so she had no choice but to continue asking: "Can you explain these six halls in detail?"

"Miss, I don't know much about the gang members of the Tiger Gang, but among the six gangs, the weakest one is the Evil Tiger Gang. Their gang leader wants to take the position of gang leader. impossible."

"Then who do you think is most likely to be the next leader of the Tiger Gang?"

"The leader of the White Tiger Hall, the White Tiger Hall is the most powerful among all the Tiger Gangs."

"How much more do you know?"

"Miss, that's all I know."

Hejian Chuyun turned to look at Shen Yi again, and he nodded to her, then narrowed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking in his mind.

Seeing that Shen Yi seemed to have achieved her goal, she ignored him and continued to look at Yang Bayuan, asking, "Have you inquired about what I asked you to inquire about the day before yesterday?"

Speaking of this, Yang Bayuan's face suddenly became energetic and he smiled and said: "Miss, it's thanks to you that the people outside now have surprisingly good evaluations of us. As long as we find the problem with the winery, the wine we produce will I think the business won’t be any worse than before!”

Hearing what he said, Tsurumi Chuyun immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and his originally depressed mood became much better.

After that, she didn't talk to Yang Bayuan any more, but said: "Okay, you go about your business, it's time for me to go back."

"Miss, why don't you sit down for a while before you leave so soon?"

"Well, I just came over to take a look, nothing happened."

While talking, Tsurumi Chuyun gestured to Shen Yi with his eyes, and then led him out of the winery.

This man and a dragon wandered around on the other side of the street, bought a bunch of things, and finally settled down for breakfast at a wonton shop.

……

An hour later, He Jian Chuyun and Shen Yi returned to Mingyan Courtyard through a small door. But as soon as they entered, they saw Zhuhong hurriedly walking over from a distance.

"Miss! Miss!"

Her face was full of anxiety, and she was panting when she ran in front of her. Tsurumi Chuyun couldn't help but wonder: "What? What happened?"

"No...no, miss, where have you been? I've been looking for you for a long time and I can't find you! Huh~huh~" "I'm going to the winery. Speak slowly. What's going on?"

"There's nothing wrong. My wife is here and she wants to see you. She's waiting for you in the hall."

"My aunt..." Hejian Chuyun was startled when he heard Zhu Hong's words. After arriving at Zhu Mansion, except for some friction with Zhu Birong, her life was quite peaceful. After these days, she was almost I forgot about my aunt.

Or maybe her aunt had forgotten about her, and then today she suddenly remembered that there was such a person as the old witch...

"Oh oh oh, I'll go over right now."

"Go quickly, miss. Madam has been waiting for a long time."

When He saw Chuyun, he didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly ran towards the main building. Shen Yi, who was originally following her, looked at Zhuhong, then at her back, and finally chose to follow.

I scanned the courtyard with my senses. There were four or five more people in the usually deserted Mingyan courtyard. They all gathered in the hall. When the old witch came to the door, I saw at a glance the people guarding the door. There were two maids, and inside, Tsurumi Yanqiu was sitting in the center, dressed in fine clothes. There were several plates of snacks on the table in front of her. She was holding a small bowl in her hand, and she was stirring it with a spoon in her other hand. Take a bite now and then.

Seeing Tsurumi Chuyun coming over, the maid at the door did not stop her at all and naturally gave her way.

"Chu Yun pays homage to my aunt."

"You're welcome, come on, Yun'er, take a seat."

"Hmm." Putting down the bowl in his hand, Tsurumi Yanqiu hurriedly asked Tsurumi Chuyun to sit down, and she also randomly picked a chair, and her sitting posture was as upright as possible.

After Shen Yi came in, his eyes directly focused on the pile of gifts next to him. It was no problem for the old witch's aunt to come to the house and bring some gifts. The main thing was that there were too many. The ground was full of dazzling things. They were everywhere. Those who didn't know it thought they were I need to stock up and open a store.

"What have you been doing and why are you here now?"

"I went to the winery and just came back. I kept my aunt waiting for a long time."

"The winery..." Tsurumi Yanqiu was stunned for a moment, but soon he seemed to remember something and suddenly realized: "It's okay, it's okay. I've heard a thing or two about what happened in the winery. How are you now?"

"It's not optimistic." Tsurumi Chuyun shook his head, and his mood became obviously depressed afterwards.

Sensing her abnormality, Tsurumi Yanqiu quickly pulled her over and comforted her while rubbing her: "Yun'er, it's not easy to solve the matter at the winery. You don't have to force yourself."

"I understand, aunt."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. I was supposed to come over and take a look the day after you arrived, but I've been so busy recently that I couldn't think of you. How are you? Are you doing well here? "

"It's very good here, aunt, you don't have to worry."

"I feel relieved when you say that, but that day you stood up for Feng'er and offended Zhu Birong. I heard that she came to trouble you later, right?"

"Zhu Birong came to see me, but don't worry, aunt, I will be careful."

"Yun'er, you should be careful. This damn girl Zhu Birong is not a fuel-efficient lamp. She didn't get a favor from you last time, and she may come to trouble you next time."

"Aunt, this is..."

Tsurumi Yanqiu smiled, pushed a pastry on the table towards her, and said, "Yun'er, try it. This is the soft-centered lotus seed cake that my aunt ordered me to buy specially from Xixiangfang. Let's see how it tastes." How about it?"

"Uh..." Tsurumi Chuyun's expression was stunned. He was still talking about Zhu Birong a second ago, why is it talking about food now?

She was a little confused as to what Tsurumi Yanqiu wanted to do, but the person opposite was her aunt, so she couldn't say anything, so she obediently picked up a piece of lotus seed cake and took a bite.

As a former eldest lady, she has tasted all kinds of snacks, such as lotus seed cakes and so on. They all taste the same. She doesn't catch a cold. How can it be delicious no matter how delicious it is?
She was thinking this in her mind, but with a "click", the meringue on the surface of the lotus seeds was bitten open, and her movements suddenly stopped there.

Soon, Tsurumi Chuyun looked at Tsurumi Yanqiu with a surprised look on his face, his eyes lit up: "Wow! It's really delicious!"

Hearing her voice, Shen Yi looked up at her face with suspicion in his eyes, which quickly turned into curiosity the next second.

The old witch is not just pretending. Is the lotus seed cake really delicious?
Tsurumi Yanqiu smiled: "I bought a lot, Yun'er, you can eat whatever you want. Eat more."

"Yeah." Tsurumi Chuyun nodded repeatedly and ate the remaining lotus seed cakes in her hands in two or three mouthfuls. Looking at the lotus seed cakes on the plate, she was still unsatisfied. She wanted to eat a few more, but she held back.

She wanted to say something to her aunt, but when she lowered her head, she found that Shen Yi was looking at her with his head raised, his eyes widened.

"Forehead……"

"what happened?"

"Aunt, can you give Xuan Li something to eat?"

"Xuanli?" Hejian Yanqiu also lowered his head when he heard this, and asked doubtfully: "It is a contracted beast, will it eat these things?"

"Xuanli is like that. He doesn't eat the blood food that other contracted beasts eat. He likes to eat what we humans eat."

"Is that so?" He Jian Yanqiu glanced at Shen Yi again, still confused. She knew long ago when Zhao Shuling sent people to Jiangzhou that her niece had contracted a very high-level contracted beast. As for How high is the grade? The Zhao family didn't say anything clearly.

But now Xuanli looked so small, which made her doubt his rank.

Worried about hitting Tsurumi Chuyun, she did not say what was in her heart. She just thought for a while and agreed, saying: "You can give it some food, but it is better for the contracted beast to eat blood, otherwise it will grow too big." Slow down, this won't do you any good."

"Yeah, I know what my aunt said. Don't worry, Xuanli is actually not who you think. He is great. If he hadn't been here, I wouldn't have come to Jiangzhou alone."

"Is that right?"

"That's it, okay aunt, let's get down to business, okay? Why did you bring so many things here?"

"Okay, okay, let's get down to business." Tsurumi Yanqiu took a breath, thought for a while, and said: "These things are all bought for you, but not entirely. You also know that this Zhufu is not Like our Tsurumi Mansion, aunt and I have too many things going on right now, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to take care of you in the future..."

"Alas~ Yun'er, you have offended Zhu Birong now. I don't know when she will attack you again. What I mean is very simple. You can't just go alone and do things in the winery on weekdays. But you have to make some friends in the Zhu Mansion during your free time. When Zhu Birong does something bad for you, it would be nice to have someone to take care of you, right? "

"aunt……"

"Here, take this." Tsurumi Yanqiu said, taking out a list from the storage space and handing it over.

The content above is the name of some courtyards or the names of people. There are not many. There are six people, all with the surname Zhu. They should be the other young ladies in the Zhu family, most of whom are not against Zhu Birong, and are her enemies.
