She has a slender waist and delicate bones, and is able to seduce the ascetic horse.

Chapter 11 Shopkeeper Li

"The eldest young master has gone out to do some business. I am not at home, so my wife took the second young lady to the Lin Mansion to visit. Now you are the only one in charge of the affairs in the mansion, so the housekeeper sent someone to invite you." Ke Xin said.

Hearing that there was no one in the house who could take charge, Shen Jiaojiao sighed and stood up resignedly.

"Let's go then."

She is the adopted daughter of the Meng family and enjoys the fine clothing and food of the Meng family. Now that there is an emergency in the restaurant, she naturally has to take the lead.

On the road.

Ke Xin reminded in a low voice: "Miss, you haven't arranged for Aoxue and Mo Wei yet."

Shen Jiaojiao nodded, "Let them get familiar with the environment first and be second-class maids for the time being."

"Miss, isn't this bad?" Ke Ying had a different idea, "We all start from the third-class maids. If we raise them too high, it might be difficult for them to accept it, and the little maids below will also have it. Opinion."

"Huh?" Shen Jiaojiao looked surprised, "You are not a talkative person. Did you see something?"

Keying is thoughtful, quiet and quiet, and rarely expresses her thoughts so straightforwardly.

It is inevitable that people will be surprised when I say these words today.

"Yes, this person has ulterior motives. Miss, you need to be careful." Ke Ying came to her side and lowered her voice and said, "I just saw Mo Wei sneaking around in the yard, not knowing what he was looking for, and then I saw her again. Over there in the garden.”

The new maid didn't stay well in the servant's room, but wandered into the garden...

"I know." Shen Jiaojiao pursed her lips, "Mo Wei will be a third-class maidservant first. As for Aoxue, she knows how to heal. From now on, she will be responsible for the medicine and food in the small kitchen. Let's give her a second-class position."

After saying that, she looked at Keying solemnly.

"Don't make any noise. Send someone to keep an eye on them. If you find anything suspicious, report it to me."

Aoxue and Mo Wei were both sent by Uncle Mo. If she left them both alone, she might arouse Uncle Mo's suspicion.

We can only use Aoxue first.

Fortunately, Keying and Kexin had grown up together with her since they were young. The three masters and servants had a deep relationship, so she could safely leave matters to them.

At the moment, she didn't have time to think deeply about Mo Wei's intentions, so she could only keep an eye on it and let Keying, who was in charge of all matters in the hospital, keep an eye on it.

After settling the new maid, the master and servant rushed to the front yard.

Ah Fu, the boy guarding the door, smiled happily when he saw Shen Jiaojiao. After bowing, he ran in and reported to the housekeeper.

Not long after, he hurried out again and welcomed Shen Jiaojiao in.

"Miss, the housekeeper is entertaining you inside. You can't get away. Let me take you in first." Ah Fu quickly explained, "The person who came here is the shopkeeper of Mengxianju. He said that the restaurant has insufficient goods. Let's hurry up. Time passes, and if we delay it for another two days, we won’t be able to open the door.”

Mengxianju is an important property of the Meng family. The sworn brother spent a lot of effort to build it into the number one restaurant in Lin'an City. Why is there suddenly a shortage of goods and the door can't be opened?

"Have you heard what kind of cargo it is?" Shen Jiaojiao asked.

"I vaguely heard it was wine."

"I guess so. Mengxianju is most famous for its wine. In the past years, the supply of wine has always been sufficient. How could there be no wine?" She murmured to herself, and quickly recalled that her adoptive father had mentioned that there was a problem with the water transportation route. .

Could it be that something happened to the Meng family's water transportation?

But when she asked her adopted brother before, he still swore that it would be no problem!

Shen Jiaojiao felt a little uneasy and walked in faster.

"The eldest lady is here!" When the old housekeeper saw her, he rushed towards her as if he had seen a life-saving straw. "Miss, please come and persuade the shopkeeper!"

Those cloudy eyes showed a bit of edge, as if a sword had finally been sharpened.

Shen Jiaojiao helped the old housekeeper up with her own hands and pretended to smile calmly, "What happened to Lao Yan? He was forced to do this by a shopkeeper."

As she spoke, she looked at the man in white who stood up.

The man is tall and straight, wearing a silk white robe with gold embroidery on the collar and cuffs, making him look very wealthy.

But he has a pleasant appearance, round cheeks, and a festive smile on his face, which makes him feel friendly and easy-going.

If it weren't for the shrewdness in those eyes, Shen Jiaojiao would even think that he was a young man from a wealthy family.

"Are you the shopkeeper of Mengxianju?" Shen Jiaojiao asked.

"Miss, I'm fine, I'm Li Shang."

The man behaved well and still had a warm smile on his face when he spoke, without any sense of philistinism as a businessman. He did not look down on Shen Jiaojiao, nor did he change his face because the housekeeper of the Meng Mansion pushed a young girl to take charge of the affairs.

"Li Shang." She read the name, then raised her eyes to the man and asked seriously: "What is missing in Mengxianju? Can we call in an emergency from the side?"

"We are missing the foundation for establishing a store." Li Shang shook his head and sighed, with a look of helplessness on his face, "Our store's treasure, Meng Xianjiu, is no longer in stock. There are only five jars left in the store, and they will be sold out in less than half a day. ,tomorrow……"

"A few jars of wine are worth coming to ask for in person?"

A deep male voice sounded, interrupting Li Shang's words.

Shen Jiaojiao followed the sound and looked outside.

Meng Hui didn't know when he came in. He was standing in the courtyard with his hands behind his hands.

Seeing her looking over, the man strode into the lobby, carrying a gust of cold wind, and stood next to her.

His tall body vaguely blocked her behind.

Foster brother?

Shen Jiaojiao's face changed slightly, she bit her lower lip lightly, with a trace of panic in her eyes.

Didn't he say he went out?

Why are you back so soon?
If she had known that her sworn brother would show up, why would she come here?
Shen Jiaojiao was filled with annoyance.

In the past, she thought that Meng's Mansion was quite big and one of the best houses in Lin'an City. She remembered that there was a long period of time, several months in a row, when she could not see her adopted brother.

What a hell it was today!

She clearly didn't want to see her adopted brother again, but she saw him three times in one day...

The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became, and her face turned as pale as snow.

Fortunately, she was blocked by Meng Hui, and everyone's attention was on Meng Hui, so no one saw anything wrong with her.

"Mr. Meng, I finally have you back!" Li Shang hurriedly walked up to Meng Hui, the worry on his face wiped away, "When did you come back? Why didn't you send a letter to the restaurant?"

With that said, he spread his hands to embrace Meng Hui.

"The day before yesterday." As he said that, Meng Hui frowned and turned away.

He never liked being touched by outsiders.

Li Shangtan took back his hand and said, "Then I delivered a letter to the government yesterday, why didn't you reply? You didn't even send someone to inform me."

"No time to watch."

"Where's the wine?" Li Shang looked at him eagerly, "You said you wanted to open up a new water transport route and bring the wine back."

"The goods are blocked outside the city. You can take people to the north of the city to bring them back." Meng Hui finished speaking lightly, then turned to look at the old housekeeper, "Lao Yan saw the guests off."

"Okay!" The old housekeeper's trembling body suddenly stood up straight, "Shopkeeper Li, please."

Li Shang ignored the old housekeeper at all, and excitedly reached out and patted Meng Hui on the shoulder, "You are so good! You really opened up a new route!"

Meng Hui originally wanted to hide, but when he thought about someone standing behind him, he could only look grim and was patted on the shoulder by Li Shang.

"Get out of here quickly." Meng Hui scolded.

Li Shang smiled and nodded, "I'll go to the north of the city first. Butler, please remember to send a boy to the restaurant to help me call a few more guys to help transport the goods."

"Okay, you can leave quickly!" the old housekeeper responded.

Li Shang took two steps out, then fell back as if he remembered something, walked half a circle around Meng Hui, and took a look.

Shen Jiaojiao suddenly saw a round and festive face sticking out from the side. She screamed in fright and raised her hand to cover her heart.

"Miss, Mr. Li is leaving first." Li Shang narrowed his eyes into crescent moons and smiled at Shen Jiaojiao.

"Uh..." Shen Jiaojiao opened her mouth, her mind went blank and she didn't know how to answer.

Where has she seen such a battle?
Her adopted brother was very strict with her and never allowed her to meet her husband alone.

Even the handkerchief she handed over would be carefully inspected by her adopted brother to confirm that there was nothing wrong with the other person's character and family background before allowing her to hand it over...

Meng Hui's eyes darkened, and he stretched out his hand to push Li Shang away, "I think your skin is itchy."
