Chapter 59 The heroine versus the secret code

"Girl, I've been watching over you. Is there anything wrong?"

"Ah?" When she heard the voice, she came back to her senses and lowered her head shyly, "My name is Shi Jingjing, what is your surname, sir?"

Shangguan Zhi looked at her with a faint smile, "My surname is Yun, and my given name only has the character Zhi."

This is not true, he called Shangguan Zhi, and the word was Zhi.

"Thank you Mr. Yun for your help today."

Shi Jingjing felt a little blessed, and she was extremely glad that she had perfected the ancient etiquette these days.

Seeing her stumbling movements, Shangguan Zhi's eyes flashed, but he didn't point it out. He just replied, "You're welcome. I just couldn't bear to see the girl suffer."

Hearing this, Shi Jingjing felt her cheeks were slightly hot, her eyes were a little dodgey, and she didn't dare to look at him.

Mr. Yun actually cares about me so much? Could it be that he...

Did you fall in love with me at first sight?

but……

When she thought of the prince's figure, Shi Jingjing took a deep breath and suppressed the throbbing in her heart.

As if she had made up her mind, she raised her head and said, "Master Yun, please wait a moment."

After that, she walked into an inn and borrowed pen and ink from the shopkeeper.

After a moment, she came out and handed him two pieces of paper.

"This is?"

Shangguan Zhi looked at the unbearable words on the paper and felt a little disgusted. He could write better than this when he was three years old.

Shi Jingjing also realized this and smiled awkwardly, "I twisted my hand two days ago and it's hard to hold a pen."

You can learn a lot of rules in a short time, but you have to practice calligraphy from scratch, and if she can write all the strokes of traditional Chinese characters, it will be very good.

When she thought of what was written on the paper, she suddenly raised her head with some pride and looked at the master and servant.

"This is the recipe of soap. Soap is something used for bathing and cleaning hands. It is easier to use than soap locust. You can also add spices to make soap with different aromas."

After saying that, she looked at the two of them leisurely, waiting to see how surprised they were.

Although Mr. Yun is very good, he is still far behind the prince. She must be the queen, so she has no choice but to let him down.

But if he wanted to, they could still be friends and partners.

However, Shi Jingjing did not see the shocked expressions on their faces as she expected.

"Miss Shi mentioned soap, but that one?"

Shangguan Zhi pointed to the box held in the passerby's arms. The word 'soap' was engraved on it.

Shi Jingjing's eyes suddenly widened, "How could it be? How is this possible!"

She rushed over and grabbed a little girl. Judging from her dress, she seemed to be a maid from some family.

"What did you get?"

With that said, she grabbed it and opened it directly.

Sure enough, there were soaps and scented soaps in small boxes. The bottom of the box and the soap were also engraved with the words 'Qingyao Pavilion'.

"What are you doing? Do you want to rob me in broad daylight?"

The little girl hurriedly snatched it back and held her tightly in her arms, looking at her warily, as if she would yell if she took another step forward.

Looking back at Shi Jingjing, she froze on the spot and kept muttering in a low voice, "How could this happen? Is there anyone else besides me..."

"If you are sick, go see a doctor. Why are you scaring anyone here?"

The girl rolled her eyes, fearing that she would snatch her again, and trotted away quickly.

"Miss Shi?" Shangguan Zhi walked over.

Looking at his slightly worried eyes, Shi Jingjing tugged at the corner of her mouth and said, "I'm fine. I may have caught a cold after falling into the water. I'm going home first."

Shangguan Zhi looked thoughtfully at her hurried away figure, and then handed the formula to Mo Zhou.

He can be sure that this formula is real!

"Go and do three things. Find out who owns Qingyao Pavilion and what is the relationship between the person behind the scenes and Shi Jingjing; then send someone to keep an eye on Shi Jingjing secretly; finally, go to the Xiao family..."

"Yes!"

After saying goodbye in a hurry, Shi Jingjing did not go back to Shi's home, but came to Qingyao Pavilion.

As soon as he saw her, the waiter came up to her and said, "Miss, do you want to buy soap or scented soap? We can make reservations here."

Although this girl is slovenly, the shopkeeper said that she should treat customers with enthusiasm.

Hearing this, Shi Jingjing became more confident in her guess, "I want to see your shopkeeper."

It turns out they are here to cause trouble again. As soon as she said these words, the waiter's attitude suddenly turned 180 degrees, with a hint of disgust and disdain.

Since the store opened, people have been coming to shopkeeper Jin every day, either secretly asking for the recipe, or wanting to buy or steal Qingyao Pavilion.

Intimidation, inducement, attempts to steal, etc. were used all over the place.

They were quite scared at first, but later they realized that the backer behind Shopkeeper Jin had a lot of background.

A few days ago, the Xiao family master used all kinds of means to get these two shops, but didn't he give up in the end?
Anyway, no matter who comes to cause trouble, they are not afraid!

"If you want to buy something, it's gone today. Please come early tomorrow. If it's for other things, we won't accept you!"

With that said, the waiter pointed to the door and made a gesture of invitation.

"You!" Seeing his attitude, Shi Jingjing was furious, "I really have something very important to see your shopkeeper."

"You'd better go back."

Seeing the waiter's resolute attitude, Shi Jingjing shouted inside, "It's the shopkeeper! It's the shopkeeper!"

"Don't shout!" The waiter tried to cover her mouth.

"What happened?"

A slightly stout middle-aged man came out, it was shopkeeper Jin.

"Shopkeeper, this lady insists on seeing you."

Shopkeeper Jin waved his hand, "Don't be rude to your guests in the future. You go ahead and do your work."

From the moment he appeared, Shi Jingjing never took her eyes away from him. She looked at the golden shopkeeper carefully.

Could this be her fellow countryman?

Noticing the look in her eyes, shopkeeper Jin smiled politely and said, "What do you want, girl?"

Shi Jingjing approached and whispered: "Odd changes to even, does it stay the same?"

"what?"

Shopkeeper Jin looked at her puzzled, what does chicken have to do with lotus roots?

"Palace Yuye Liquor?"

"We don't sell alcohol here. If you want to drink, go out and turn left. There is a restaurant."

Shi Jingjing frowned and looked at him.

This expression doesn't seem to be fake. Could it be that this fellow countryman is someone else?

Shopkeeper Jin was a little embarrassed by her stare, but the girl seemed to be as old as his daughter, and he couldn't use force to drive people out.

He was really worried to death!
"Girl, what on earth are you here for?"

"I just want to know who came up with the recipe for soap?"

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Jin walked a few steps outside, then waved to her, "Come on, come here first."

Shi Jingjing followed him and walked a few steps, "I want to meet that person."

"Yes, yes, take two more steps, quick!"

Shopkeeper Jin pointed to the threshold, "Step over first."

Although she didn't know why, Shi Jingjing still did it.

After she went out, shopkeeper Jin closed the door directly.

"Hey!"

Shi Jingjing rushed over, but she was still a step too late. The door slammed shut, and if she hadn't been able to hide quickly, her nose would have been pinched.

"Shopkeeper, I either want to steal the prescription, or I want to meet the person who took out the prescription!"

"Girl, I won't tell you, go back quickly!" Shopkeeper Jin turned his back to the door and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

These days, he has seen people who bully others, people who use money to hit people, and people who don't care about their lives. He has never seen anyone with a brain problem!

"Shopkeeper, can you close the door and stop business?"

"The goods are all gone, what else are you going to do? We'll talk about it tomorrow!" As he said that, he hurriedly walked inside.

Today's events still need to be reported to the master.

On the other side, after sending Jing Xi back to the eldest princess's mansion, the carriage did not return to the palace, but circled around the street.

【Where are we going? 】

Just when Chu Yaoyao was confused, the street suddenly became noisy.

"Look! It's General Li!"
