Rebirth of the Merchant Girl

Chapter 192
Xie Yanniang smiled slyly, and made a fool of herself: "It's not too late for your lord to make a decision after Shi Da returns the things."

Just half a day later, when she was about to take a nap, Xue Ling said that there was someone outside Zhuangzi asking to see her, with a dagger in her hand.

Xue Ling saw it before, it was one of the pair of daggers that Shi Da gave to Xie Yanniang, and quickly asked the guards to let him in: "Girl, that man is waiting outside the courtyard now."

"Hurry up and let him in," Xie Yanniang frowned, she was surprised, and she gave one of the daggers in her hand to Shi Da as a token.

Now that this person came back with a token, something must have happened.

The man clasped his fists outside the screen to salute, and handed the dagger to Xue Ling.

After Xue Ling got the screen, Xie Yanniang glanced at it, and it was as if it was made by Shi Da himself.

This pair of daggers looked simple and unpretentious, but they cut iron like clay, and they could not be imitated by ordinary people in half a day: "What happened to Shi Da?"

"Yes, I am a member of Shi Da's clan, named Shi Er." The man was about the same age as Shi Da, and said in an orderly manner: "Not long after Shi Da took us out of the city, he realized that there were people behind him, so he made a decisive decision and covered me quietly. When I came back to report, the others went hunting in the woods and made wild game on the spot.”

Xie Yanniang frowned slightly, but was very satisfied with Shi Da's quick wit.

If they came back in a hurry, they were trying to hide it, and they took everyone hunting in the forest as if nothing had happened, as if they were going to eat game. Even if it was a bit strange, those people couldn't think of Shi Da's final destination.

"Shi Da has done a good job, and you have worked hard."

Xie Yanniang once heard from Shi Da that people in their clan are famous for casting, and the names in the clan are all named for technology.

Shi Da's father used to be Shi Er, but Shi Da had the best casting skills in the family to be named.

The person in front of him is Shi Er, whose skills are only inferior to Shi Da's.He was specially sent to report the news, I am afraid that he is also Shi Da's confidant brother.

Shi Erlian said it wasn't hard work, and said: "Shi Da asked me to tell the girl that there will be more than one wave of people following behind."

Asking Xue Ling to take Shi Er to rest in the courtyard, she had to think carefully about what to do.

Should Shi Da come back just like this and wait for the opportunity?

But since they were being watched as soon as they went out, those people were afraid that it would not be overnight.The longer it drags on, the more people I can't get rid of.

Xie Yanniang paced around the house, if she didn't bring it back this time, she would have to worry about accidents and being taken a step ahead.

Really helpless, she had to go to the study to find the regent.

Originally, he wanted to surprise Ruan Jingxin, but now he was surprised, but Xi didn't see it. After all, he still has to trouble him.

Ruan Jingxin was a little surprised by Xie Yanniang's arrival.

She was always in the yard and rarely came out. Now that she took the initiative to go to the study, there must be something difficult to do.

After thinking about it, only Xie Yanniang sent Shi Da out.

"Why, Shi Da is in trouble?" Ruan Jingxin told Xie Yanniang to sit down and asked carefully.

Xie Yanniang said it clearly, and said worriedly: "Minnv didn't expect that there are so many people watching outside the mansion. It is difficult for Shi Da to get away now, but she is not willing to let him come back just like this."

Ruan Jingxin pondered for a moment, then smiled and said: "It's not a difficult task. Those people usually just stare at me, and they thought they were staring at me. It seems that they are aiming at the girl. Let Shi Dabing divide into three groups and confuse the public. Get rid of those people."

Xie Yanniang looked at him half-understood, Ruan Jingxin smiled and said, "Miss, please go out with me, it can also help Shi Da share a lot of burden."

She nodded and asked Xue Ling to pass on the message, telling Shi Er to go out quietly through the corner gate to report to Shi Da, while she dressed up and followed Ruan Jingxin into the carriage.

The groom is still Pang Yudi in disguise, and he muttered impatiently: "Boss, there is more than one little mouse behind him, and the color is different, it's really annoying."

Xie Yanniang couldn't help laughing, if those watching people knew that General Baihu compared them to mice of different colors, I don't know if they would be extremely depressed.

But aren't these sneaky ones just as annoying as mice?

"My lord, where are we going?" Xie Yanniang didn't have a maid by her side, and when she heard the wheels of the carriage, she couldn't help feeling uneasy.

"Naturally go to a place with a lot of people. It's cheaper for those people to keep an eye on them." Ruan Jingxin patted the back of Xie Yanniang's hand when she saw that she was worried, and said, "Don't worry, most of the stalkers have returned and followed behind. "

So there were fewer people following Shi Da, and they walked separately, easily getting rid of the followers.

Xie Yanniang felt relieved now, and heard Ruan Jingxin say: "I'm afraid you won't have a chance to go out to play when you're in Beijing. Why don't you take advantage of this time and take a good look around?"

She looked expectant, how could she not agree?

Even in her previous life, when Xie Yanniang was taken to the Xie Mansion, one day she would not tremblingly want to get close to Xie's family, let alone leave the mansion, she would almost stay in the courtyard.

In addition to going to Yun Mansion a few times, he was sent directly to Wang Mansion, and never came out until he died.

Xie Yanniang lifted up the curtain secretly, looked out cautiously, and couldn't help but ask: "Will those who are watching from behind go back and report to the masters of each family, which is not good for adults?"

Ruan Jingxin shook his head: "They don't dare to blatantly touch me yet, girl just follow along and enjoy the beautiful scenery in central Beijing."

Pang Yudi took the lead to park the carriage in front of a restaurant, Xiaoer led him around to the backyard familiarly, chased away the idlers, and then graciously stepped forward to open the door.

Ruan Jingxin got out of the car first, then reached out to help Xie Yanniang who was wearing a veil and walked out slowly.

Xiaoer didn't raise his head, but said respectfully: "My lord's box is still vacant, so I'll lead you there."

Xie Yanniang was a little curious, but at this moment she didn't dare to speak casually.

After Xiaoer sent a few people to the box, she retreated tremblingly, and then she asked, "Master, do you often come here?"

"This restaurant was opened by an adult before. First, it is convenient to collect information. After all, there are many dignitaries. Second, the shopkeepers, waiters, and even the chefs behind these restaurants are disabled in the army and their families. It can be accommodated." Pang Yudi answered for Ruan Jingxin, and when he heard the knock on the door, he knew that Xiaoer had brought all the food and wine, so he hurried out to take them.

Xie Yanniang didn't expect Ruan Jingxin to open a restaurant on purpose just to accommodate the retired soldiers, she had to admire it.

If they simply use money to support these soldiers and their families, over time, their will will be flattened and everyone will feel uncomfortable.

After all, they are all bloody men who have been on the battlefield, and they are carefully cared for like birds in a cage. After all, they are a little unhappy.

Just because they can't go to the battlefield doesn't mean they can't do other things.Those who have hands and feet can always support themselves.

Ruan Jingxin simply let them have this opportunity. After all, the soldiers are loyal to him, and they collect information here without saying anything, and they don't have to worry about such dirty things as the restaurant being handed over to outsiders and being tricked into embezzling money.

Pang Yudi put the meals on the table one by one, and couldn't help but praise: "Every time I come with the boss, I can also enjoy the dishes and eat the dishes made by the chef himself."

He winked at Xie Yanniang and said, "Don't underestimate these small dishes, the chef's skills are well-known in the army. If it wasn't for being injured by a stray arrow and his legs and feet are not flexible, he would have to run around with the boss."

After Pang Yudi finished speaking, he didn't care about other things, and quickly slipped to the small room next door, so that the chef could deliver the old wine that he had privately kept.

He has always loved wine, but the chef treasured the good wine and hid it so deep that he couldn't find it by digging three feet, so he could only brazenly pester him for two glasses every time to satisfy his cravings.

Xie Yanniang watched Pang Yudi rush out as if impatient, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, she couldn't help shaking her head with a funny smile.

She picked up the pair of chopsticks and took a sip, the fragrance really lingered between her teeth, the simple side dish is also a high-quality delicacy, so she couldn't help but eat a few more mouthfuls.But suddenly found that Ruan Jingxin was only staring at himself, and hadn't moved his chopsticks yet, so he couldn't help but blush.

"My lord, please..." Xie Yanniang's face was full of embarrassment, she looked like a hungry wolf who had never eaten in eight lifetimes, and told Ruan Jingxin to watch a joke.

"Girl likes it, so eat more." Ruan Jingxin picked up a chopstick of food for her, and said with a smile: "The chef is used to staying here. He wanted to come to my side, but I didn't agree. He lived here Well, there's no need to follow me, just cook for me alone, what's the point?"

Ruan Jingxin was always so considerate, talking as if the chef was trapped in the yard, and instead lost the fun.In fact, there are many crises around him, but he doesn't want the chef who is not flexible in his legs to live a life of trembling, but gets implicated instead.

"It's good to eat once in a while. Rare things are more expensive, and you can taste them more seriously every time you come." Xie Yanniang followed his words and echoed with a smile.

Ruan Jingxin knew that she understood what he meant, and nodded with a smile, "That's true."

Xie Yanniang poured tea for him herself, and inadvertently raised her head to look out the window, it was facing the street, the window lattice was covered with veils, the inside could clearly see the outside, but the outside could not see clearly the inside of the box.

That's good, she can also take off her veil, so she doesn't have to eat in secret, which is really boring.

"Huh," Xie Yanniang suddenly caught a glimpse of a person at the street corner, who seemed to be bargaining with a peddler, lowered her head and only vaguely saw the outline of half a face, but she felt familiar.

After thinking about it carefully, her expression changed slightly: "My lord, that person who is watching seems to be by the fifteenth prince's side."

This person is Long Zhiyu's confidant, Xie Yanniang has seen him more than once, so she naturally has an impression.

To actually send his confidant over to stare at the regent, Long Zhiyu is so bold, isn't he afraid of being known?

However, Ruan Jingxin looked at her thoughtfully: "Young lady seems to know everything about the Fifteenth Prince... like the back of my hand."

Speaking of foreseeing, could it be that what he saw were all things around Long Zhiyu?
Xie Yanniang was left speechless by the question, and panicked for a moment.
