auspicious time has come

Chapter 102

The steamed stuffed bun shop is mostly doing business in the morning and afternoon, and when it is almost dusk, they are mostly preparing for closing.

The young man had just carried a stack of scrubbed and dried steamers into the hall and put them down, when he turned around, he saw a slim girl in light green fur holding a hand stove and leading a maid, walking towards the shop.

"Miss Ji is here!"

The clerk hurried forward with a smile: "Ms. Ji is here at this hour, she must not be eating buns, is she?"

"That's right, I'm here to find shopkeeper Miao." Heng Yu also had a smile on his face, and stepped into the hall while speaking.

"Miss Ji will come here sooner. My shopkeeper just left for a quarter of an hour and went home."

"Go home?" Hengyu paused slightly.

"Go back to Miao's house!" the man corrected.

Heng Yu nodded thoughtfully.

Go back to Miao's house.

Shopkeeper Miao and Master Liu Bo have been engaged for several days, so it's time to go back...

"It's a bad luck for me to come here."

She originally planned to tell Mrs. Miao about the conjectures she had with Lord Hou today, and after a general discussion, she and Mrs. Miao went to meet the old man—

She can go by herself, it is not difficult to find out where the old man lives, but if she can discuss with Mrs. Miao, learn more about the past, know herself and the enemy, then she can prescribe the right medicine and be safer.

But it was already late now, if she waited for Lady Miao to come back before going out of the city, it would probably be too late.

"Since Miss Ji is here, why don't you have a cup of tea to warm yourself up and rest before you go?" The guy was very warm and thoughtful.

Hengyu was not in a hurry to go back, and today's ceremony for Jiji was a lot of trouble, so they also nodded and sat down.

The man quickly brought the freshly brewed hot tea.

Heng Yu took it and held it in his hand, and asked casually with a smile: "By the way, although I have met many times, I still don't know how to call my brother?"

The man grinned: "The villain's name is Shunshui, Gao Shunshui! He was named by a fortune teller when he was born!"

Heng Yu smiled and praised: "It sounds like a good name for good weather, Guotai Minan."

"Hey, where does Miss Ji speak so loudly..."

While the two were chatting, a voice came from outside the shop door.

"Is Shaoting here?"

Hengyu was sitting sideways to the direction of the hall door, and subconsciously looked over when he heard the sound.

It was a thin and crooked old woman, wearing an old gray padded jacket, her gray hair bun wrapped in old blue cloth, holding a crutch in front of her body with a bundle tied to it.

"My shopkeeper is not here, who are you?" The clerk had already walked out and asked politely.

"Shaoting is not here..." The old man untied the burden slowly, and smiled kindly: "I am the old lady of the Wang family, here to give Shaoting something..."

"It's the grandmother of the Wang family!" The man suddenly realized.

"Yes Yes……"

In the hall, Heng Yu moved her fingers holding the teacup.

Ben also said that it was an unlucky day, but it was a coincidence that it didn't happen.

The clerk took over the burden with one hand, and was about to help the man walk into the shop with the other: "You come in and rest first!"

"No, no, no... Shaoting is not here, so I don't want to bother you anymore."

"How can this be a nuisance? The shopkeeper often mentions you as an old man... You live outside the city. At such an old age, it is not easy to come here. If you leave without even drinking a cup of tea, the shopkeeper will ask you Blame me for not being good at entertaining you!" The man said and helped him, and led him into the hall.

The old woman sat down embarrassingly, keeping her crutches in her hands, and smiled a little awkwardly.

Hengyu saw that her hands holding the crutches were dry and chapped, so she got up and walked to the old man, bent over and handed the stove up: "Old man, please warm your hands."

The old man's vision was a little cloudy, but he was so close, and he could clearly see the girl's beautiful face, unusual clothes, not to mention the golden hand stove——

"Thank you, thank you girl..." The old woman waved her hands in fear, "I'm walking all the way, it's not cold..."

Seeing that her expression was too restless, Heng Yu didn't force it blindly, but sat down on the stool beside her, took her words and asked: "It's such a long way, did you walk into the city?"

"It's not really... Someone from the town drove into the city to buy new year's goods. I followed and walked two streets." The old woman smiled and asked softly: "I don't know if the girl is..."

Heng Yu smiled and said, "I'm a good friend of Shopkeeper Miao."

"The girl's accent sounds like Beijing dialect..."

Although the Beidi and Beijing dialects are mutually intelligible and they can understand each other, there are still differences in accents.

"The old man has good ears. My surname is Ji, and I am indeed from the capital."

"Miss Ji is an imperial envoy from the capital, and she came to Yingzhou on a mission according to the order of the saint! Now she lives in General Xiao's residence!" The waiter came over with tea and said with honor.

Hearing this, the old man shook his hand holding the cane: "Qin... imperial envoy!"

She was about to get up tremblingly: "The woman has blind eyes, but she doesn't know that the girl is an imperial envoy..."

Hengyu saw the old woman's reaction, the word "imperial envoy" is always a bluff to the ears of ordinary people, and she is just a small painter accompanying her——

But she didn't explain much, just pressed the old man's arm at the right time, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be formal."

The buddy's showing off was not over yet, he put down the tea, gave a thumbs up and said, "Miss Ji is not only an imperial envoy, but also kind and benevolent, and has good skills!" He was abducted, and there was no news for 20 years. In the end, it was all thanks to Miss Ji's superb painting skills to deduce the portrait, and then he was found! That's not all, guess what? The lady who came back is actually the poor person who was rescued by Miss Ji before, and she was taken in by the shopkeeper to work in our shop!"

Heng Yu was quite moved when he heard this, this Shun Shui brother, apart from being quite talented in swearing in the street, he is also a good storyteller.

The old woman stared at Hengyu with surprise in her eyes: "...I lost it for 20 years, but have you found it?"

"Isn't it! This matter has been spread in our Yingzhou City!" The man flattered him sincerely: "If you want me to say, Miss Ji is really a god!"

Hengyu was very self-aware and said: "There is already a god in Yingzhou City. In terms of merit, I can never compete with him."

The old woman's eyes still did not leave Hengyu, her lips moved, and she hesitated to speak.

"Hey, Mr. Liu is here too!" The man turned his head to look at the door of the hall.

"Painter Ji is here too." Liu Xun walked in, raised his hand and saluted with a smile.

Although this time in the eyes of outsiders, it was a bit of a happy event and funeral, but Liu Xun was full of joy and was completely unaffected by the rumors.

Heng Yu said: "Mr. Liu's visit is also unlucky, shopkeeper Miao has gone back to Miao's house—"

Liu Xun suppressed his smile when he heard the words: "When did she go back?"

"Brother Shunshui said, it was two quarters of an hour ago, why don't Mr. Liu go there too?" Heng Yu suggested: "As the saying goes, this family has no overnight feud. No, Miao's mother might be able to calm down."

"...?" Liu Xun couldn't help showing doubts about life.

Is this kind of sloppy speech really coming from the mouth of the painter Ji, who has a clear hatred and is always trying to persuade differences but not to make peace?
but……

cool down?

Yes, that mercenary crazy woman must still be angry, maybe she will do something radical again!

"I have to go and have a look!" Liu Xun hastily cupped his hands and turned around immediately.

Seeing the back of Mr. Liu leaving, Hengyu took a sip of tea.

It is impossible to calm down—seeing the "Daughter of the Debt Collector" come back and the "son-in-law of the Debt Collector" follow behind, the fire will only get hotter and hotter.

Shopkeeper Miao's return today is definitely not to calm people down.

At this time, Mr. Liu followed, so as to save the shopkeeper Miao from being bullied alone.

As for why she suddenly got mixed up——

Naturally, he said it to the old man beside him.

Aunt Jiang said that when she went to look for the old man of the Wang family for the marriage of shopkeeper Miao, the attitude of the other party could be called gratitude...

For a person who is rumored to have "killed" his grandson, and even his son and daughter-in-law, he can still have such an attitude. I am afraid that not only the word "enlightened" can explain it.

If combined with her and Lord Hou's speculation, it is very likely that this old man knew the truth back then...

As an insider, he must also know the true colors of Mother Miao and others.

An old man who still has a conscience and has been guilty of treating the shopkeeper Miao for many years, seeing that the shopkeeper Miao and his fiancé-in-law are going to "subdue softness and make amends" to the Miao family, and let the Miao family suck blood in the future-is it really possible to remain indifferent?
Sure enough, shortly after Liu Xun left, the old man sitting there spoke with some anxiety.

　Today is a day to go out to stockpile supplies, I am almost exhausted, I just wrote this, see you tomorrow ~ good night.
