Chapter 44 Handling
None of the doors and windows in the box next door were open, and the paper-pasted carved windows were covered with curtains, making the surroundings even darker, and it seemed that even the air became cold.

The deputy shopkeeper sat on the ground with his eyes tightly closed, his hands and feet were tied and he couldn't move.

Hearing the movement, the deputy shopkeeper slowly opened his eyes. The light passing through the door was a bit dazzling, and he could only see the corner of the shopkeeper's clothes and the hem of a girl's skirt.

The deputy shopkeeper subconsciously raised his hand to block it, but suddenly remembered that his hand was restrained and could not move, so he quickly closed his eyes to adapt to the light.

But if you think about it, you can know who came in.

It's just that he hasn't been in the water for many hours, and the deputy shopkeeper's throat is burning more and more. After coughing uncontrollably, he called out in a hoarse voice: "Gu... Miss."

Jiang Xian took a look: "Pour him a glass of water."

The shopkeeper quickly complied.

The deputy shopkeeper took the cup and said in a low voice, "Thank you..."

The shopkeeper shook his head as a no-thank you, and sighed again.

"Cough..." The deputy shopkeeper's throat felt a little more comfortable after the cold tea poured into his dry throat.

Jiang Xian didn't rush to interrogate him, but first asked the shopkeeper: "Has the cook been sent to Nanfeng Restaurant?"

The shopkeeper bent down: "Yes."

"His family has dealt with it?"

The shopkeeper replied politely: "There is an old mother and a newly married wife in the cook's house. I sent someone to tell them about the situation. The girl is kind and gave them the cook's selling fee and some money. If the bride is filial, How much is enough to take good care of my mother's entire old age."

Jiang Xian gave a faint "hmm".

"Finally." Jiang Xian squatted down and looked at the deputy shopkeeper, leaning his elbows to his knees, and propping his chin with his fair fingers, his voice was shallow and careless.

"What do you think I might be interested in?"

The deputy shopkeeper stared at Jiang Xian for a few seconds, and suddenly smiled: "I said, can the girl spare me?"

Jiang Xian raised his eyebrows: "Are you threatening me? Or are you negotiating terms?"

"The little one doesn't dare, but I just want to find a way to survive." The deputy shopkeeper couldn't help coughing twice, his tone was low and pitiful, and said with a sigh of relief: "It's just that there are old parents, wives and children under the little one, and the little one is still waiting to be fed. , if there is no little one, how can we live in that day."

"You didn't think about the consequences when you did this?" Jiang Xian chuckled, "Since you did something wrong, you have to pay the price."

If she hadn't discovered it in advance, what would have happened to Zui Xian Lou?What should she do when she works up and down in Zuixianlou?

Just sending him to Nanfeng Pavilion, isn't it cheap for him?
The deputy shopkeeper said weakly: "Girl thought, if you didn't do this and know the secret, wouldn't you have been kept in the dark for the rest of your life?"

"So now the little one just wants to make up for his mistakes, and ask the girl to give him a chance."

Jiang Xian raised his eyes, his long eyelashes curved upwards: "What if I don't give it?"

The deputy shopkeeper said lightly: "Then let this matter, together with the little one, turn into a cup of loess."

"Heh..." Jiang Xian stood up with a clear voice, "It's fine if he doesn't want to say it."

waste time.

Jiang Xian looked at the shopkeeper: "Send it over."

Where are you going to send him?

Nanfeng Hall?
This is the end?

The deputy shopkeeper's heart skipped a beat, feeling that things were getting out of his control. He looked at Jiang Xian's back in disbelief as he was about to go out, and shouted as hard as he could: "Girl really don't want to know about this?"

Jiang Xian paused, and said lightly: "How long do you think I can find out something that you all know?"

The deputy shopkeeper was silent.

A few seconds later, he confessed honestly, without dragging his feet: "I don't know who the people from Zuixianlou and Quanjia Restaurant are, but there are more than one."

"Besides, there are other people who are placed in other restaurants. If there are many, you have to check it yourself."

Jiang Xian's eyes brightened.

Zuixianlou didn't take much care of it, it didn't expect those restaurants to stretch their hands so long.

"More than one"?How many?Zuixianlou should really take care of it.

As for whether the words of the deputy shopkeeper are true or not, she will naturally check it out.

She said: "Has the construction of Yiqu started? Send him there, and remember to find someone to take care of him."

Upon hearing this, not only the deputy shopkeeper was overjoyed, but even the shopkeeper felt relieved.

"Thank you girl, thank you girl."

No matter what the deputy shopkeeper did, he brought it up with his own hands, and the shopkeeper couldn't bear it if he sent it to a dirty place like Nanfeng Pavilion.

But now, for shopkeeper Yu, there is one more thing to wait for Jiang Xian to order...

"Girl, it's my fault for not taking care of the Zuixian building, please punish me, girl!"

"It is indeed your fault." Jiang Xian did not hesitate.

The shopkeeper lowered his head even lower.

"but--"

Jiang Xian turned around: "I will investigate this matter myself."

Jiang Xian didn't blame him, just said: "The matter of the Jiangnan sub-building may have to wait for a while, and the capital cannot do without you."

The shopkeeper's wife's hometown is in the south of the Yangtze River. He has been waiting for Jiang Xian to open a branch of Zuixianlou in Jiangnan, promote the deputy shopkeeper to manage the Zuixianlou in the capital, and then go to Jiangnan with his wife and children.

Seeing that Jiang Xian was not angry, the shopkeeper hurriedly said: "No, no, no matter where I am, it is my good fortune to be able to work for the girl."

This is flattery, and it is true.

On weekdays, the boss doesn't come to Zuixianlou very often, and Zuixianlou is basically his decision.Besides, he didn't completely beg for a meal in Zuixianlou, and Zuixianlou still had his share.According to the words of the owner, it is called "shares".

Since following the boss, the food and clothing expenses in his family have been relaxed a lot.

The deputy shopkeeper's eyes darkened.

Going to Xiuyi Canal is naturally better than going to Nanfeng Pavilion, even for a man, it is a thousand times better.But the conditions there are tough, no more than in the capital, and they have to be strictly guarded, enduring the pain of being separated from close relatives.

If I hadn't been fooled by lard...

But what Quanjia Restaurant promised itself was gold!
In front of gold, how many people are not tempted?You can't blame yourself for this!

After the matter was dealt with, Jiang Xian opened the door, and Jiang Sheng who happened to be in the next box also came out.

Liu Zhongran was all smiles, Jiang Sheng was talking to him, when he saw Jiang Xian, he came over: "Sister."

"Well, are we done talking?"

Liu Zhongran said: "Okay, okay, I didn't expect Miss Jiang to be so knowledgeable at such a young age, I feel ashamed."

Jiang Xian looked at Jiang Sheng.

Jiang Xian blinked, then bent his lips.

Jiang Xian said to Liu Zhongran: "If there is nothing wrong, I will take my sister back home."

Liu Zhongran replied: "Okay, okay."

On the way back, Jiang Xian asked casually: "What did Liu Zhongran tell you?"

Jiang Sheng said: "Liu Langzhong said that he encountered a problem a while ago, I promised to take some time off, and let him go to the medical clinic."

"Oh." Jiang Xian didn't ask much.

Jiang Sheng's heart skipped a beat.

Big sister didn't get to the bottom of it, did she not care, or did she already know that she was not her original body?Do you even know that you are also wearing it?

Thinking about it, she never deliberately concealed anything, including painting and medical skills, including behavior.
