Lord Quan teases Houmen's poisonous wife

Chapter 310 Extra Story 002 [-] Big Misunderstanding
After returning to the inn room, Nanny Sun gave Jiang Weiyu a worried look, "Those two young masters just saw that they were either rich or expensive. If you offend them rashly like this, I'm afraid it will cause trouble for us."

Jiang Weiyu paused as he changed clothes, "Mama doesn't know something, I met him once when I came out, and there was a little conflict. The reason why I said that was because I didn't want to be misunderstood by him."

Never mention the sale of jade pendants.

But Nanny Sun was right next to her at the time, and heard everything verbatim. Looking back on it now, the blood on her face bled from fright, "The young master said he was selling jade pendants, what kind of jade pendants are they selling? Does the girl want to keep Madam?" That jade pendant was sold? It is the only relic of Madam, girl, think twice!"

Thinking that she had dragged the girl back, Nanny Sun couldn't help but blame herself again.

Jiang Weiyu originally didn't want her to know, but now that she knows, there's nothing she can do about it, "If my mother is alive in the sky, she must hope that I can live a good life. If I sell this jade pendant when I have nowhere to go Let me change my way of life, I think, my mother is very happy."

Grandma Sun was taken aback, "Girl."

Jiang Weiyu turned around and smiled, "Don't talk about it, it's getting late, let's wash up and rest!"

Going out is nothing compared to being in Jiangfu and Waizhuang, Jiang Weiyu didn't ask for water to take a bath, just wiped his body casually to wipe off all the rainwater during the day, then took out the clean clothes in the bag and changed into them.

Grandma Sun could tell that her daughter was already exhausted after fleeing for her life, so she didn't dare to disturb her. After a simple wash, she planned to go outside to guard. Although the room was simple, there was still a bamboo couch outside, which was enough She lasted all night.

Seeing Nanny Sun's intentions, Jiang Weiyu disagreed, "It's cold today, and there is nothing outside, how can Nanny survive the whole night, just sleep here, at least there is a quilt." He said, pointing bed.

Grandma Sun shook her head hurriedly, "How can a slave and maidservant share the bed with the master, it's really outrageous."

Jiang Weiyu said: "You go to sleep outside for one night, and tomorrow you catch a cold and fall ill, do you have to waste my money asking the doctor to prescribe medicines, is that plausible?"

"Slave..."

Nanny Sun choked, and finally had to squeeze a bed with her under Jiang Weiyu's arrangement.

This night, although the room was quiet, neither the master nor the servant fell asleep.

Grandma Sun was worried about Jiang Weiyu's safety, so she kept half-closed her eyes and kept her ears on the outside, so she could be prepared in case someone from the eldest aunt came.

Jiang Weiyu, on the other hand, was thinking about his future livelihood.

Going north is her goal, but lack of money is the biggest problem at present. She must find a way to earn money in the shortest possible time. Mammy is getting old, how can she follow her to starve and freeze like this.

Jiang Weiyu went over the skills he knew, and finally decided to focus on cooking.

-

On the second day, Jiang Weiyu got up early, took Nanny Sun downstairs, and went directly to the innkeeper.

"What do you two do?" The shopkeeper is a very easy-going middle-aged man, who is directing the guys to move things in the backyard of the inn. When he saw Jiang Weiyu's master and servant, he greeted him politely.

Jiang Weiyu said directly: "The little girl wants to discuss a business with the shopkeeper."

"Please speak, girl."

"I'd like to rent your kitchen utensils," she said.

The shopkeeper was dumbfounded when he heard this, "Rent? What's the rent method?"

Jiang Weiyu hurriedly explained, "I won't take it out. I plan to buy the ingredients myself to make dishes and snacks. Can the shopkeeper...can you sell them for me with the signboard of your inn? Once the customers like it, sell it for me. How much money, including the rent of kitchen utensils, we will split it fifty-five."

The shopkeeper looked at her suspiciously, "You?"

Although the girl in front of me was not well dressed, she was born very well, but because she was so well born, the shopkeeper didn't believe her. She was just a fourteen or fifteen year old girl, but she was as old as his little daughter, so even if she could do a few What special culinary skills can you show with just one dish, "Girl, don't make fun of the old man, I still have to do business here!"

"In order to show my sincerity, I can use this jade pendant as collateral." Jiang Weiyu took off the jade pendant and offered it with both hands. She still has some silver on her body, but she needs to buy ingredients later, so she can't take it out now, so she can only take it out again. Hope falls on the jade pendant.

The shopkeeper took a look at the jade pendant, it was of good quality, but in this small town, it was considered a treasure. However, he didn't have any dirty intentions of trying to get the little girl's money. What's more, he wanted to see her kitchen. Can Yi be as confident as she herself?

After accepting the jade pendant, the shopkeeper said: "Since the girl is interested, I'll say hello to the kitchen. After you buy the ingredients, you can go directly."

Jiang Weiyu's eyes showed joy, "Thank you shopkeeper."

"Go!" The shopkeeper smiled and watched the pair of master and servant go away.

After leaving the inn, Nanny Sun frowned and said, "Young lady just gave the jade pendant to the shopkeeper. We'll come back later, what if he refuses to admit it?"

Jiang Weiyu murmured: "Then I can only gamble." Looking up at the sunny sky, he sighed, "Gambling mother, there is a spirit in the sky to bless me to successfully overcome this difficulty."

Estimated the money to buy the ingredients, when Jiang Weiyu came back, he walked cautiously to the back kitchen of the inn. He thought that the shopkeeper would go back on his promise as the nanny said, but he didn't expect everything to go well. When he arrived at the kitchen, the cook inside and The other handymen also greeted her warmly.

Jiang Weiyu responded one by one with a smile, and distributed the cake bait he bought from outside to everyone.

In fact, there are more high-end food in the kitchen than cake bait, but they are all for the guests. The cake bait bought was the most authentic in the town, so everyone ate happily, and even two women expressed their willingness to help her.

There were two more people, plus Nanny Sun, and the three of them helped her. Jiang Weiyu's movements were very quick, and it didn't take long to cook four authentic Jiangnan dishes.

It just so happened that the shopkeeper came to the kitchen at this time, smelling the aroma of Jiang Weiyu's freshly cooked vegetables, his eyes lit up, "You made this?"

Jiang Weiyu nodded.

"That's just right." The shopkeeper showed a happy face, "There are customers upstairs who ordered authentic Jiangnan cuisine. Although the cooks here are good at cooking, they are still not restaurants, just inns. How can I match them?" The few dishes you asked for, I see that the girls are quite authentic. Why don't I ask someone to deliver them to the two guests. If they like it, I will definitely benefit from you. If you don't like it, it doesn't matter. I'll go out Find someone to do it." For the current plan, it doesn't matter who made it, as long as you can warm up the two distinguished guests upstairs, the benefits you can get are naturally far more than the price of three dishes. Whether rich or expensive, he still has this vision.

Jiang Weiyu didn't think that the guests ordering food were the brothers he met twice yesterday, and he didn't know that Yi Bai liked Jiangnan cuisine, but when he saw the shopkeeper's need, he nodded, "Then thank you, shopkeeper. gone."

The four dishes were quickly delivered to room No. [-] in Tianzi upstairs.

Yi Bai sniffed it carefully, narrowed his eyes and said, "It wasn't made by the cook yesterday, but it seems to have a Jiangnan flavor."

Lu Xiuyuan smiled, "If Ah Bai likes it, you might as well try it first."

Yi Bai picked up the chopsticks, first touched the braised saury, and nodded after tasting, "It's really authentic."

Lu Xiuyuan raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and picked up a piece of fish meat with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth. Not a top chef, but the method is indeed unique.

When the shopkeeper came up again, Lu Xiuyuan rewarded him without hesitation, and asked to meet the cook by name.

The shopkeeper received the reward, happily went to the back kitchen, distributed part of the reward to Jiang Weiyu, and told her the customer's original words. She was very happy at first, but then she thought of something, her face suddenly became serious, and asked The shopkeeper, "Are the guests you mentioned two young gentlemen?"

The shopkeeper nodded and said yes.

Jiang Weiyu rolled his eyes, suddenly showed a sad expression, and said sadly: "The shopkeeper, I am a girl, and I only went this way when I was in trouble. It is okay to hide in the back kitchen and cook, but let me go out and show my face , this... this may be inappropriate, can you push it for me?"

The shopkeeper was sorry, but after all, the other party was just a little girl, and it was too shameful to embarrass her like this, so she nodded, "Okay, I'll tell the customer."

"Thank you shopkeeper." Jiang Weiyu breathed a sigh of relief, with a sweet smile on his face.

Such a sunny little girl is very popular with the cooks and women in the back kitchen, and it took only half a day to get acquainted with her.

It's always good to make more friends when you're away from home. Jiang Weiyu slowly lowered his guard after confirming that these people would not harbor evil intentions one by one.

As for Lu Xiuyuan and Yi Bai, they had tasted Jiangnan cuisine, but the cook hadn't seen it, and according to the shopkeeper's description, the cook was only good at cooking, but in fact she was not good at the table. , for fear of offending the distinguished guests.

In this way, Lu Xiuyuan didn't like to force others to make things difficult, so he didn't mention the matter of meeting the cook again.

The sky was fine today, the two brothers left the town after breakfast, and returned to Fucheng to discuss business.

Yi Bai didn't follow, he was resting in Jinghuashuiju Inn.

The interview with Lu Xiuyuan in person is naturally impossible to be a small business. Generally, the transaction amount is too large, or the risk is relatively high. There is also a kind of military supplies. In the capital, some military supplies and military departments cannot do it. Arrange imperial envoys to come to the imperial merchants to do it, and the local government will also find local reputable merchants to take charge of it for a long time.

The Jiang family in Suzhou Prefecture is a wealthy businessman who has been in charge of some military supplies for the local garrison for a long time, but this time they encountered trouble, so they thought of the famous imperial merchant Lu's family, and wanted to transfer the order to the Lu family and let the Lu family do it for them. .

The head of the Jiang family, Jiang Yongjing, very politely invited Lu Xiuyuan to sit in his house, and made him entertain him nicely.

The whole process of discussing business was very pleasant. Of course, it was Lu Xiuyuan himself who was happy, while Jiang Yongjing could only smile on his face and feel sad in his heart, because judging from the price offered by Lu Xiuyuan, he would suffer a blood loss by transferring this order, but there was nothing he could do. The people on my side have already made a problem. Once the military finds out if it continues, it will not be as simple as losing a little money, so no matter how bloody it is, they have to grit their teeth and transfer the order to the Lu family for redoing.

The reason for Lu Xiuyuan to charge a high price is very simple. The Lu family is wiping the Jiang family's ass and needs to bear a certain amount of risk. If the price is not in place, he will not accept it.

Jiang Yongjing had heard of Lu Xiuyuan's name a long time ago, and he knew that if he was not sure, he would not come to Suzhou to meet him in person, so he hesitated at first, and then he bit the bullet and wrote a letter of appointment and sent it to the government to pay taxes and seal it. Come back and sign.

Jiang Yongjing left Lu Xiuyuan to eat at the mansion. Before the banquet, Lu Xiuyuan was bored and went out of the front hall to the back garden.

The courtyard design in Suzhou is very different from that in the north. Although Jiang Yongjing is a businessman, he seems to be very sentimental, and the layout of the courtyard is unique.

Lu Xiuyuan walked slowly on the cobblestone path with his hands behind his back, admiring the mountains, rocks, flowers and trees, and whenever there was something that caught his eye, he would silently write it down.

In the warm spring of March, there are clusters of flowers blooming in the courtyard, some are bright and some are elegant, and when the wind blows, the scent of flowers will come to the nose.

Lu Xiuyuan stopped in front of the strangely shaped rockery and watched it with great interest.

Not far away, the voice of a woman laughing and playing suddenly came, getting closer.

The location of Lu Xiuyuan's station is very hidden, but you can still see the scene there through the hollowed-out rockery.

It was a pair of master and servant playing hide-and-seek, the mistress was blindfolded, and the little maid smiled coquettishly in front of her and said, "Miss, come and catch me!"

Then, when the mistress staggered forward following the sound, the little maid burrowed into the nearby flowers and hid her figure.

According to the memory of the voice, the hostess walked all the way in the direction of Lu Xiuyuan.

The place where Lu Xiuyuan was standing was not far from the place where the little girl was hiding, but because of the blocking of the rockery, they couldn't see each other.

The little maid who was hiding behind the flowers spoke again, and the hostess jumped forward.

Lu Xiuyuan wanted to let go, but there was a dead corner of the rockery behind him, so it was too late, so he just let the girl fall into his arms.

Then, the two unbelievably beautiful eyebrows frowned so tightly.

"I caught you!" The girl was very excited, but the next moment, her expression became a little weird, because the other party had a clean and refreshing smell, not a smell of powder, and she didn't seem to be her little maid.

Panicked, she stood up straight and slowly took off the silk scarf covering her eyes, facing Shang Lu Xiuyuan's piercingly cold eyes and that flawless face.

What a handsome man, her heart skipped a beat, her pretty face involuntarily blushed.

And the way Lu Xiuyuan looked at her gradually changed from the initial coldness to a half-smile and sarcasm.

He said, how can there be so many down-and-out women in this world, one by one, there are simply not too many tricks.

Being stared at by such a handsome man, even though her eyes were cold, her heart was still beating wildly, so that she couldn't speak quickly, "Dare to ask, dare to ask your name?"

Originally, for such a stunning "encounter" between a handsome man and a beautiful woman, the man should politely ask the girl's name, but she couldn't help but speak first, just for the moment when she took off the silk scarf, she caught her eyes and fell into her eyes. heart.

And the more shy she was, the more intense and obvious the disgust in Lu Xiuyuan's eyes became. The person who pretended to be a down-and-out girl and had the audacity to ask him to buy the jade pendant that day, now knows how to be shy. A woman with a thousand faces is indeed right.

——That's right, the woman who accidentally threw herself into Lu Xiuyuan's arms was no one else, but the "Miss Jiang Family Jiang Weiyu" who entered Jiang's family instead of Jiang Weiyu. Her real name was Liang Siyu, and she was indeed born with Jiang Weiyu. They are very similar, except for their temperament, they can almost be confused with real ones.

In terms of identity, Liang Siyu's true identity is quite interesting, and it starts with Jiang Yongzhen, the great aunt of the Jiang family.

The reason why Jiang Yongzhen reconciled with her was because she was stealing men outside, but her husband's family couldn't produce any evidence to convict her, so they had to negotiate a reconciliation with her in the end.

And Liang Siyu is the illegitimate daughter of Jiang Yongzhen and her lover, who has been kept outside by her lover.

After Jiang Yongzhen returned home, she unexpectedly discovered that Jiang Weiyu, the eldest daughter of the prostitute, was seven to eight times like her illegitimate daughter. One day, Jiang Yongzhen heard the conversation between her elder brother Jiang Yongjing and the old lady, and learned that Jiang Yongjing loved her daughter too much and couldn't bear her to marry, so she planned to find a son-in-law for her, and the property of the Jiang family would be divided in the future. Most of them were given to Jiang Weiyu.

As soon as Jiang Yongzhen had a thought, he became murderous. From then on, he often framed Jiang Weiyu secretly until she was sent to the Waizhuang.

Then in the next few years, she intentionally or unintentionally mentioned Jiang Weiyu in front of her elder brother, pleaded for her, and finally won Jiang Yongjing's mouth more than a month ago.

Jiang Yongzhen knew that the opportunity had come, so she personally took someone to bring her illegitimate daughter to Jiang's family. Don't say that Liang Siyu and Jiang Weiyu looked so similar, even if they didn't. Years old, after four or five years, even a slight deviation in appearance will not arouse suspicion.

Therefore, Liang Siyu's arrival was almost smooth, even Jiang Yongjing didn't notice the clue, and always treated her as his own daughter.

As for the one in the Waizhuang, Aunt Jiang has a lot of killing moves waiting for her, and she is guaranteed to never come back.

……

Back to the present.

Facing such a hypocritical woman, Lu Xiuyuan didn't bother to show any gentleman's demeanor, and turned to leave without saying a word.

Liang Siyu was not reconciled to the other party leaving just like that, and called softly, "Young master."

Lu Xiuyuan walked out of the rockery and breathed a sigh of relief. Originally, he planned to leave like this, but thinking that this was at the Jiang family's mansion, it seemed inappropriate, so he turned around in the end, "Miangui's surname is Lu. Farewell."

Liang Siyu wanted to say something else, but Lu Xiuyuan had already disappeared.

Jiang Yongjing personally came to the garden intending to invite Lu Xiuyuan to have dinner, but when he saw the face of the oncoming person, he seemed to be in a bad mood, so he asked cautiously, "Master Lu, what's the matter?"

Lu Xiuyuan restrained his thoughts, and said lightly: "I suddenly remembered that there are still some important things to deal with, so I won't stay in your residence for dinner, Master Jiang, take your leave."

After finishing speaking, he left the gate of Jiang's house without looking back.

Jiang Yongjing was wondering, and from a distance, he saw the baby girl in pink hurrying towards this side.
