Nongwomen's Spring

Chapter 227 Peeping (2)
"Uncle is here, please sit down, thank you for coming to our shop today." Zhang Qian pulled Liu Jun with a bad face, stood up, welcomed Bao Jinliu in, and beckoned him to sit down.

Looking at this nephew and daughter-in-law, Bao Jinliu really liked her from the bottom of his heart, unlike his nephew, every time he saw him, he would put on a dirty face to show him, as if he, an uncle, owed his nephew money .

"Thank you, Xiaoqian, Xiaoqian. Just now when my uncle came in, he saw that your shop is doing well. How much does a can of your pickled vegetables sell for? Your aunt told me to buy two cans when I left just now." Bao Jin Liu looked outside, feeling happy for his nephew from the bottom of his heart.

Zhang Qian didn't expect the business to be so good today, with a smile on her face all the time, "Thank you for your good words, uncle, I sell a can of mustard for five taels, but uncle is our relative, so we don't need to take money. Uncle, take two cans back."

After Bao Jinliu heard the price quoted by Zhang Qian, he was a little tongue-tied. This can of pickled mustard actually sold for five taels, which was more expensive than eating pork. Was there still a lot of customers buying mustard just now? He really didn’t know why he The managed Li County also hides so many wealthy people.

"Okay, then I won't be polite, I'll just take two cans home." Bao Jinliu thought that a can of pickled mustard would cost five taels of silver, and two cans would cost ten taels of silver, which would be equivalent to two months for him. He can't afford the monthly salary.

Zhang Qian, who was sitting inside, didn't know that Bao Jinliu's arrival made her pickled mustard more famous in Li County.

In less than half a day, the people of the entire county in Lixian County had a mustard shop called Haozailai on Chuanxian Street. Even the magistrates of the county went there to buy mustard. The mustard shop has made a resounding name.

Just as Zhang Qian greeted Bao Jinliu, Zheng Qi, who was greeting guests outside, suddenly ran in nervously, and reported something in front of Zhang Qian and Liu Jun in a low voice, "Report to my boss, Mrs. Dong, here comes A few people said they were friends of the Dong family and Mrs. Dong’s wife, but I don’t know if this is true, and I’m worried that they are here to make trouble, so I dare not let them in.”

After Zhang Qian and Liu Jun listened, the young couple looked at each other. Liu Jun stood up and said to Zhang Qian, "I'll go out and have a look."

When Liu Jun came out, he found that the shop that was supposed to be lively was very quiet at the moment. When he saw the stranger Zheng Qi mentioned, he finally understood why his customers were so quiet.

Four or five strong and strong men stood in the middle of the shop with a knife in their hands. I wonder, in this environment, who would speak loudly here without thinking.

"My respected guest, you have scared my guests." Seeing the visitor, Liu Jun walked over to say hello with a smile on his face.

Yu Lingfeng laughed loudly, took a step forward and patted Liu Jun on the left shoulder, and said with a smile, "Brother Liu Jun, you are too disrespectful, why didn't you tell me that you opened the shop today, if I didn't pass by here today, Smelling this familiar smell, I don’t know yet.”

"It's just a trivial matter, how dare I bother you, respected guests, please go inside with Liu Jun first, and then talk with me, my guests are frightening to you." Liu Jun continued to say with a smile.

Yu Lingfeng looked back at these people, and found that it was really like what Liu Jun said, everyone was too scared to move by his people.

"Then go inside and talk." Maybe you can see Zhang Qian when you go inside, Yu Lingfeng followed Liu Jun into the backyard of the shop with an expression of indifference.

The backyard of the shop was used by Zhang Qian to store mustard jars, and there were a few other rooms for the guys in the shop. At this time, Zhang Qian and Bao Jinliu were sitting in the lobby of the backyard.

Yu Lingfeng saw Zhang Qian sitting in the lobby from a distance, walked over with a smile, and shouted, "Xiaoqian, congratulations on your shop opening today, I didn't know today is the big day for your shop opening, I didn't prepare any gifts, another day It must be repaid."

Hearing this familiar voice, Zhang Qian frowned, why is he here?It's really impossible to hide him anywhere. She came here deliberately avoiding him today, but she didn't expect him to find him.

When Bao Jinliu, who was drinking tea, looked up and saw someone walking towards him, he was so frightened that he spit out all the tea he drank on the ground with a plop, quickly got up from the chair, and knelt down on the ground with a plop , and shouted respectfully towards Yu Lingfeng who walked in, "Chen Bao Jinliu sees His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Yu Lingfeng didn't expect to meet someone from the imperial court here, so his steps froze immediately, and he looked towards Zhang Qian and Liu Jun, meaning to ask them why such a person was here.

Both Zhang Qian and Liu Jun knew that Yu Lingfeng was sick in the Prince's Mansion in the eyes of the Dasheng court, so naturally they couldn't let people know that he was in this place.

Zhang Qian glanced at Liu Jun who didn't want to explain, sighed, and had no choice but to stand up and explain to Yu Lingfeng, "His Royal Highness, don't worry, Mr. Bao is my husband-in-law's uncle, he won't talk nonsense. "

Bao Jinliu seemed to have heard something, and hurriedly bowed his head and said, "His Royal Highness, after I get out of here later, I will forget all about who I met here, and I will definitely not talk nonsense."

After listening to Bao Jinliu's words, Yu Lingfeng's eyes showed satisfaction. It seems that this seventh-rank county magistrate is quite knowledgeable and can be reused.

At this time, Bao Jinliu didn't know that he had already attracted the attention of the crown prince Yu Lingfeng. Now, he was wiping the sweat from his forehead, and secretly sighed why he was so unlucky today that he met His Highness the crown prince here.

"Okay, since you are the uncle of Zhang Qian and Liu Jun, the prince will trust you for the time being, and you must ensure that the whereabouts of the prince here are kept secret." Yu Lingfeng waved his hand and strode in. Sitting on the main seat and watching everyone present, he warned.

Everyone answered "Yes" in unison. At this moment, Bao Jinliu was extremely unstable. Why didn't he know that his honest nephew and his nephew's wife had actually got involved with the prince, and that he had kept this matter from him? Such strictness caused him a big shock today, almost scaring his old life away.

After warning everyone's mouths, Yu Lingfeng smiled, looked at Bao Jinliu kindly and said, "Master Bao, this shop belongs to my benefactor, you must take good care of it in the future, and don't let the prince down."

"Yes, yes, the lower officials will meet." Bao Jinliu nodded a few times, but he still felt wronged for himself in his heart. Prince, didn't you hear my nephew and daughter-in-law say that the owner of this shop is my nephew? , even if I don't have your Buddha's face, I will also see my uncle's monk's face, do you need to remind me?

Yu Lingfeng withdrew his gaze on Bao Jinliu, then skipped over Liu Jun who was standing beside Zhang Qian, and put his gaze directly on Zhang Qian, "I heard people say that the pickled vegetables here can also cure some minor illnesses, can you Can you even give me a few cans, I want someone to bring a few cans to my grandma to try something new."
