peasant girl wedding

Chapter 238 Discovery
The fresh air flowed into the room, finally making Ji Li feel better.

"Boss Lin, your business here is very good."

Looking at the row of powders and rouges, Ji Li said.

The lady proprietress smiled, "Where is it? If it weren't for the Wang Family Xiangfang doing something like that, it would be my turn to make Lin Family Xiangfang prosperous. The worst thing about doing business is to deceive the common people. The head of the Wang Family Xiangfang , It can be seen that I'm a fool...Look at me, I'm just talking nonsense, and I haven't introduced the new products in our workshop to General Ji?"

As the proprietress said, she asked someone to open the powder box.

"Boss Lin, don't worry, the things in your shop are naturally good, so I don't need to look at them."

The proprietress was overjoyed by Ji Li's words, "General Ji, I only knew you could fight wars before, but now I know that General Ji's eloquence is also top-notch."

"Boss Lin, I have something I want to ask you."

Ji Li lowered his eyes, tasted it.

The proprietress smiled and said, "General Ji speaks up when he has something to say, I know it, and I will definitely not hide it from General Ji."

…………

"General Ji, go slowly, welcome to come again next time."

The proprietress warmly sent Ji Li out the door.

The servant drove the carriage over, and Ji Li and Tong Zhi'er got into the carriage.

With the sound of "drive", the carriage left in a short while.

The smile on the landlady's face disappeared, and she rushed back to the workshop, "Go, call me the manager."

A man entered the room, "Miss Boss, call me."

"You go to the Ruyi Xiangfang and say that General Ji came to our Lin Family Xiangfang today and asked about the Wang Family Xiangfang a few years ago."

"Ah? Ma'am, we don't know Ruyi Xiangfang very well, so tell them what to do?"

The proprietress glared at the steward, "If you're told to go, go, why so much nonsense!"

"Yes, yes, lady boss, I understand, I will go to Ruyi Xiangfang and tell the story."

Inside the carriage, Ji Li looked pensive.

"The proprietress of Linjiaxiangfang is weird!"

Tong Zhi'er looked at him and said affirmatively.

Ji Li nodded, and looked at Tong Zhi'er approvingly, "That's right, but how did you know?"

"Her eyes flickered when she spoke, and her facial muscles tensed unconsciously, which is a sign of tension. When you ask questions, she is nervous, which is not normal."

"Ah."

"Where are we going next?"

"These three incense houses are all suspects. The Lin family incense shop has already gone. Let's go to the Xu family incense shop next."

Xujiaxiangfang and Linjiaxiangfang are only two streets apart, but one is on the street and the other is at the end, and the source of customers they occupy is different.

When Tong Zhi'er and Ji Li went in, the guys from Xu's Xiangfang were all moving things.

"General Ji, I wonder what General Ji wants to see?"

A guy came over and said enthusiastically.

Although Tong Zhi'er and the others didn't know each other, there was no one in the capital who didn't know Ji Li.

"You guys are busy, let's just take a look."

"Okay, General Ji."

After the man finished speaking, he went to do his own business.

Tong Zhi'er and Ji Li walked to the corner, staring casually at all kinds of rouge.

Suddenly, Ji Li's hand moved.

Immediately afterwards, a clerk staggered, and with a bang, a large box fell to the ground.

The box was not closed tightly, and the contents rolled out.

Tong Zhier took a look, walked over, and said: "Isn't this the incense powder from Ruyi Xiangfang? Why, you Xujiaxiangfang doesn't sell your own products, but instead sells the incense powder from Ruyi Xiangfang? Could it be, Xu Jiaxiang Are you going to change your name?"

"Miss, you are joking. Everyone knows that the powder and rouge in Ruyi Xiangfang are the most popular. If we put more in the store, more people will come." A manager came over to explain, but the expression on his face was very strange. It's not good looking.

"Oh? According to this, the powder and rouge from Ruyi Xiangfang should be sold in the store, but how can I see that you are going to move things out?"

"This is just part of it. We bought the goods and plan to sell them elsewhere. Girl, please take a look. We are still busy with work, so don't disturb the girl. Girl, please..."

As the steward said, he left in a hurry.

Tong Zhi'er and Ji Li looked at each other, stayed for a while, and then walked out of Xu's Xiangfang.

"The steward just now didn't make sense of what he said, obviously he's hiding something." Tong Zhi'er said.

"Yeah." Ji Li nodded.

"Also, if he wants to sell the goods in other cities, why does he need to take them to Xujiaxiangfang first, and then send them to other places, not to mention whether he earns money or not, but he hired someone to carry them The cost is not small."

"Ah."

Suddenly, Tong Zhi'er stopped.

"There is a problem with this batch of things!"

Ji Li narrowed his eyes, and told Tong Zhi'er to wait in the carriage, while he rode away.

A quarter of an hour later, Ji Li who came back had something extra in his hand, which was the incense powder produced by Ruyi Xiangfang.

"Come on, let's go back to the store first."

To confirm whether there is any problem with this incense powder, I have to find Wang Tan.

"Hmph, with such a texture and such a rough workmanship, how dare you call it so high!" Wang Tan said disdainfully with the powder sticking to his fingertips.

"How is it? Is this incense powder harmful?" Tong Zhi'er asked nervously.

Wang Tan put down the incense powder, "Although it is still an inferior product, there is no harm in using it on the body, but it is also not good. I can't believe that incense powder like Ruyi Xiangfang can still earn a lot of money." silver!"

A thought flashed through Tong Zhi'er's mind, but before he had time to think about it, he was interrupted by Wang Tan, "Boss, I have to go to Ruyi Xiangfang."

Seeing Wang Tan with an angry face, Tong Zhi'er stopped him, and said: "You are impulsive, businessmen and common people, one is willing to fight, the other is willing to suffer, they bought such inferior incense powder and don't say anything, you Don’t go looking for trouble. Otherwise, the people in Ruyi Xiangfang will definitely give you a big beating. If you really want the people to be good, you should develop new high-quality incense powder and use the product to speak.”

Wang Tan nodded, turned around and went to the yard.

"Let's go, there is the last Ruyi Xiangfang." Ji Li said to Tong Zhi'er.

Tong Zhi'er nodded, and put the lid on.

Inadvertently, her eyes glanced at the words on the cover.

"and many more!"

Ji Li looked at her suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

"Quick, take me home, I know what's wrong!"

Seeing her shocked expression, Ji Li didn't ask any further questions, the two went out, and the servant drove the carriage to Tong Zhi'er's house.

"Yu," the boy grabbed the reins, the carriage hadn't come to a complete stop, but Tong Zhi'er jumped off in a hurry.

"Branch!"

Ji Li shouted.

But Tong Zhi'er ignored it, lifted her skirt and quickly walked into the house.

Hearing the voice, Fang Cuiwei immediately came out of the room, "Zhi'er, what's wrong?"

"Mother, don't ask, I have something important to do now."

Tong Zhi'er went back to her room, opened all the cabinets and boxes, and searched hard.

"Zhi'er, what are you looking for? You said it, mother will help you find it together!" Fang Cuiwei said from the side.

Ji Li stood at the door, looking at Tong Zhi'er nervously.

"Mother, the rouge I bought with Zhu Er last time, the kind with a box, did you see where I put it?"

"wait."

Fang Cuiwei turned around and took out a bundle from another box, "You said it was for Duo'er and the others, so I put it in this box."

"Well, thank you, mother." Tong Zhi'er quickly opened the bundle.

"Second sister, what's wrong?"

Hearing the sound, Tong Zhu'er also ran over.

Tong Zhi'er ignored her, but just opened the rouge box completely.

She looked at the lid back and forth, and finally, put the lid of a rouge box together with the powder box, walked up to Ji Li, "Look at this."

When Ji Li saw it, his expression changed drastically.

"Zhi'er, I have something important to do, so let's go first." Ji Li said to Tong Zhi'er, took the lid of the rouge box and the powder box and left in a hurry.

"Zhier, what's going on?"

Fang Cui said in a puzzled way.

Tong Zhi'er shook his head, "I don't know either, but judging by Ji Li's appearance, it shouldn't be a trivial matter."

When buying rouge, the strange patterns engraved on the rouge box caught Tong Zhi'er's attention. At that time, she still thought, the people from Ruyi Xiangfang are really interesting, and they actually have such a pattern on the packaging of the items so early. The meaning of kung fu.However, when Wang Tan poured out the powder for inspection and revealed the decoration on the bottom of the powder box, Tong Zhier remembered the one on the rouge box.

How do the two patterns fit together...

Tong Zhi'er's conjecture has been confirmed. The combination of the two patterns does have a new meaning.

Although she didn't understand what this meant, but looking at Ji Li's appearance, the meaning must be extraordinary.

Someone is delivering a message!
Use the preciousness of the powder and the inability to unpack it, as well as the reputation of Ruyi Xiangfang to pass on the news.

Tong Zhi'er felt that she seemed to have discovered a very important secret!
From the downfall of Wangjia Xiangfang, to the growth of Ruyi Xiangfang, and then the inferior incense powder...

Who is behind all this?
What kind of secret does he have?
Will she take revenge crazily because she discovered this secret?

Tong Zhi'er felt scared for a while!
"Zhu'er, go to the shop and call out dad, Wang Tan, and the guys in the shop. Tell them to go back. By the way, twelve guards, call back with dad."

"Second sister?"

"Twigs?"

The two looked at Tong Zhi'er puzzled.

No, no?It is still not certain that the people behind the scenes already know that she knows. If she acts rashly, wouldn't it be a warning?

"Pearl, there is no need to go, everything is still the same as before."

"Second Sister? What happened? You just said yesterday that you don't hide anything from us!"

"Yes, Zhi'er." Fang Cuiwei also looked at Tong Zhi'er worriedly and said.

Tong Zhi'er smiled bitterly, "Mother, Zhu'er, I discovered a great secret, I'm afraid we will get into big trouble."
