Splendid Abandoned Wife

Chapter 485 New Dragon Gate Inn

Shadow play is a new thing in which shadow actors perform stories on a white curtain. It has only become popular in the capital recently. Yin Xinrou also saw one, and she saw it at someone else's house when she went to attend a banquet.It is said that the cost of hiring a shadow performer is no less than hiring a famous troupe.

"Really?" Yin Xinrou was concerned, "How can Juxiang know that thing? Even if she can operate a shadow man, can she still make a shadow man?" It shouldn't be difficult to learn simple operations, but making that thing is difficult. Requires craftsmanship.

"Of course I can," Zhang Ling'er said proudly, "When we were in Beijing, she made me a Wang Zhaojun wearing a red cloak. It looked really good. I'll ask her to show it to you later. "

Yin Xinrou's eyes brightened: "That's good. If you can make a scene, it doesn't matter if it's simple. It's rare."

"Isn't that so?" Zhang Ling'er continued to offer her advice, "There is no child who wouldn't like it. When the time comes, let Juxiang teach the little princess how to operate the shadow puppet. Wouldn't it be fun for the three girls to play the puppet show together? I'm very interested. Yeah. Maybe when we return to Beijing, the little princess will still be thinking about letting us play with her at the British Duke's Mansion."

"It's really possible." Yin Xinrou was so excited that she forgot all her previous unhappiness. Fortunately, she still knew how to be cautious and not make any more jokes. "You haven't answered me yet, how could Juxiang know that thing? And, at least wait. Juxiang gets all the shadow figures needed, and I'll go to Ruo Yatou and tell her that she can't make any more tricks to make the little princess angry." Otherwise, she doesn't need to go back to Beijing.

"It's okay. Can I still lie to my mother?" Zhang Ling'er felt that her mother was really timid and useless. "Before Juxiang was sold, her uncle and aunt raised her for several years. Her aunt supported the family by working as a film actress. , and she also helped. Her uncle was originally an opera singer, but after his face was scratched, he followed others to learn shadow play." If it hadn't been for Ju Xiang's repeated assurance just now, she would not have thought that Ju Xiang would become such a popular thing.

The mother and daughter were having a lively conversation, and Zhiruo soon learned of their plans.There was no way around it. The two houses in the Yin Mansion in the capital and the Yin family in Ningzhou had never given up on Meizhuang and Yin Zhiruo's money. Even if Yin Xinrou came here with the purpose of getting into Xiao Ling'er and the British government, she might not have brought her with her. Whatever the mission, remember that it is impossible not to send someone to keep an eye on it.

"By the way, don't forget," Zhiruo asked, "How is your second uncle's inn going? Is it ready to open? Has the name been decided?"

When Zhiruo came back, he heard that Mr. Jin and his son were very good at business. The previous grocery store had a stable business, so they bought two clerks to look after it. They couldn't stay idle, so they bought another two-story house with two rooms in front and back. The house in the courtyard has been renovated and renovated to prepare for an inn business.The location is quite good, just near the official road, so people traveling from north to south don't have to worry about staying guests.

The renovation of the house has been going on for nearly a month, and the preparations for the opening should be almost done now. I heard that what Boss Jin is most worried about is the name of the inn, and he has already overturned twenty or thirty names.

"It's decided, we'll call it New Longmen Inn," Mo Wang replied. "Second uncle said he calculated a good day to open the business, which will be in three days." I don't know what second uncle thought, New Longmen Inn?Does the carp jump over the dragon's gate?Do you want their Jin family to change their family background?Ha, it’s still a business despite the changes!
"...?" Zhiruo was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but laugh out loud, "This is just the Longmen Inn, why not the new Longmen Inn? Does your second uncle plan to find a female shopkeeper to take charge of the inn?" He also wants to be coquettish and sentimental. Beautiful woman!Hahaha, it’s called Jinxiangyu.

"...?" Mo Wang also felt that the name New Longmen Inn was a bit awkward, but he didn't think it was so funny. What could the elder girl think of to be so happy?Also, what does this have to do with whether there is a female shopkeeper? "Kaiping said that the second uncle originally planned to call it Longmen Inn, but later he made a fortune and changed it to New Longmen Inn." "Really?" Zhiruo was curious, "Boss Jin still tells fortunes? Is it accurate?" She said I have always believed that divination, well, Zhouyi divination is a set of magical prediction methods. It is a profound knowledge and a culture worthy of study. Unfortunately, in real life, there are very few people who are truly proficient in Yili. Most of them know a little bit. The so-called fortune tellers whose principles are just nonsense and deceitful have almost lost their true essence in modern times, and most of them are liars.

Don't forget: "..., Kaiping said that his calculations were quite accurate in the past, and he had a guide to find the word 'flower' when he came to Meizhuang."

"……"so smart?Zhiruo is even more curious about Boss Jin, I'm afraid he is not a simple businessman!

"Mo Wang, have you ever guessed what kind of family background you have?" Zhiruo asked a similar question when he talked to Mo Wang for the first time after coming back. Mo Wang's answer was that it was useless even if he was curious. I can't remember anything, and my past before being sold is completely blank.

Mo Wang is also a smart person, and he understands what Zhiruo means with just a quick turn of his mind.There is the so-called businessman Boss Jin, who is more of a scholar than a scholar; there is Jin Kaiping, who is as strong as Mo Wang in martial arts; both of them are more respectful than close to Mo Wang, and they seem to ask for Mo Wang's opinion on everything; Boss Jin still does divination now?

What kind of family background and what kind of identity do you need to have such a close person?

"Okay, just know it in your heart, don't try to remember it," Zhiruo saw that Mo Wang's face seemed to be showing pain again, and quickly spoke to stop it, "Be prepared in your heart. When the day comes to regain your memory, no matter what kind of things you face, Only when you can accept reality freely can you make the most correct response." Not only you, but I also need to be mentally prepared, so I am going to talk about it now, which is also a precaution.

After such a long time, Zhiruo has regarded Mo Wang as a trustworthy and capable friend and subordinate instead of a slave. He really does not want to have a day when he has to fall out or even have to make a difficult choice.

Don't forget to take a few deep breaths. His pale face gradually improved, and then he nodded and said: "What the eldest lady said is true, but I have also analyzed it carefully. Even if my life experience is not ordinary, I must be the same as Meizhuang and the original town." There is no conflict of interest in the Peking University General Mansion, otherwise the emotions of the second uncle and Kaiping would definitely be reflected in their words and deeds. Although I have no memory now, they will definitely not say much to me, but there will always be tactful reminders and verbal hints. However, The reality is that they never seem to worry that I will be in conflict and pain due to my relationship with Meizhuang one day after I recover my memory."

That makes sense. Zhiruo raised his eyebrows and continued listening.
