After the Hou family's mistress was reborn, the entire Hou family suffered disaster

Chapter 20
Xie Ziqi walked swiftly, got on his horse, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Jiang Fuyue and Shen Chuan looked at each other, and then looked away awkwardly.

Jingzhe looked around, pointed to a tea stall, and said, "Madam, let's go over and have a rest."

Jiang Fuyue nodded: "Master Shen, would you like to come over and sit with us?"

After all, the two of them were acquaintances, so it would seem rude of her to go there by herself.

Shen Chuan also nodded: "Okay, Madam, please go first."

So the two of them went to the tea stall together and sat down a few seats apart.

When Jingzhe went to order some tea, Gu Yu looked around, pointed to the house diagonally opposite the tea stall and said, "My slave, take a look at this alley. The one outside is close to the busy city, so it is inevitably noisy, and the one inside is a bit far away. What’s more, this house is in a good location!”

Jiang Fuyue also nodded.

Shen Chuan looked in the direction of her finger and said with a smile: "Girl, this is the house where I live now."

Gu Yu looked surprised.

It turns out that this is their own house!

With nothing to do, Shen Chuan simply took the initiative to start the conversation: "Speaking of which, I am able to live in this house thanks to a noble man."

"Perhaps... three years ago, when I just came to Beijing, I was short of money and had no friends. I was in urgent need of a place to stay, so I found this place after searching around."

"Although the rent here is high, the location is really good. I have something to do when I go to Beijing. If I live in a remote place, I'm afraid I'll have to waste a lot of time on the road every day. I'm also afraid of causing trouble, so I'm wondering if I can Meet the owner of this house and discuss the price."

"That noble man is really generous. Knowing that I am not well-off, he actually reduced the rent by [-]%, and I can still pay it monthly. It really relieves me of my urgent need..."

And three years have passed, and the noble man has never mentioned the price increase.

If someone hadn't come to collect rent every month, he would have almost suspected that the noble man had forgotten that he still had such a house.

When Gu Yu heard this, he burst into laughter: "I didn't expect Master Shen's luck to be quite good!"

"Yes," Shen Chuan also smiled, "If I didn't have this noble man's help, I'm afraid I would have to live on the street."

He had a gentle look on his face, and he did not shy away from talking about his embarrassing past, and he even joked about it calmly.

Jiang Fuyue secretly sighed in her heart that Shen Chuan had an extraordinary character.

At this time, Jingzhe came over with tea. He first poured a cup for Jiang Fuyue, then turned around and poured it for Shen Chuan. Finally, he and Gu Yu drank half a cup each and drank the tea completely.

The tea brought a different kind of sweetness to the entrance. Jiang Fuyue couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "This Sweet Water Lane really deserves its reputation."

Shen Chuan smiled and said: "Yes, I have lived here for a long time, and I am a little bit unaccustomed to the water outside."

Jiang Fuyue smiled and said nothing.

This is not easy to answer.

After drinking a cup of tea and chatting for a while, the carriage from Duke Jin's mansion arrived.

The two-man carriage was somewhat out of place in this simple alley. As soon as it appeared, many people looked towards the carriage.

"Fuyue!" Sun Jingke kicked the door open, and before the coachman could set up the footstool, she had already jumped out of the carriage neatly.

Jiang Fuyue stood up with a smile and walked towards her: "I thought it would take a while, but I didn't expect you to come very quickly." Sun Jingke took her arm affectionately and said, "Xie Ziqi said you were waiting to have dinner with me. Well, can I not hurry up?"

After saying that, Sun Jingke turned around and looked around: "You're so good, why did you come here?"

"A friend is going to Beijing, and I came to see if there was an empty house that could be a place for her to stay," Jiang Fuyue didn't hide it. "As a result, every house has an owner."

Sun Jingke said "Oh" and said, "It's okay, there are a lot of good houses in the capital. When will your friend come to Beijing? If you are in a hurry, I have a few empty houses here that you can borrow for emergency use!"

Jiang Fuyue shook her head and said, "Don't worry, I'll just look for it slowly."

Sun Jingke nodded and then put the matter behind him: "Then let's go quickly! There are many places to eat on the street outside, and they all taste good. You haven't eaten out much in the past three years. How can we go today? It has to be delicious!”

After that, Sun Jingke took Jiang Fuyue and left.

The two of them had already walked some distance away. They originally wanted to wait for their wife to praise them, but were completely ignored. Xie Ziqi turned around with resentment on his face and called to Shen Chuan, asking him to follow.

Shen Chuan's expression was a little strange. He looked at Jiang Fuyue's figure with complicated eyes.

"what happened?"

Shen Chuan pursed his lips and said, "Do you know... this Mrs. Gu's maiden name?"

Xie Ziqi nodded. Seeing that Jiang Fuyue and Sun Jingke had already walked some distance away, he lowered his voice and said, "Miss Jiang family, Jiang Fuyue... what are you asking for?"

Jiang Fuyue...

Thinking of the name on the contract, Shen Chuan's mouth twitched slightly, then he took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

The noble man is actually in front of him...

"What's wrong with you?" Xie Ziqi looked puzzled.

He had always felt that Shen Chuan was young, but his thoughts were more serious than those of an 80-year-old man. This was the first time he saw such an obvious expression on Shen Chuan's face.

"It's nothing," Shen Chuan took a step forward, "Let's go."

As Xie Ziqi said, not far from Tianshui Lane is a busy market with row upon row of shops and bustling streets with people coming and going.

Shen Chuan lived in Tianshui Lane and often went out to eat. He knew which restaurants on this street were delicious. In addition, the noble man was right in front of him. Shen Chuan took everyone to the most expensive restaurant on the street. The restaurant, Baiweizhai.

Baiweizhai is very grand. Even the door is larger than other restaurants. The most people come in and out. Just standing at the door, you can smell the aroma of food coming from inside.

Everyone went in together, and the waiter saw that they were all dressed in extraordinary clothes, and he hurriedly greeted them, with a somewhat troubled look on his face: "Guests, I'm really sorry, all the private rooms have been booked out. There is one cubicle left in the building, if the guests don’t mind..."

The private space is private and quiet, and is very popular among wealthy people. In comparison, the partitions are much worse. They just have two partitions in front and back, which are far inferior to the private rooms.

Shen Chuan subconsciously looked at Jiang Fuyue: "It's just that I didn't think well and forgot to make a reservation in advance..."

Jiang Fuyue shook her head: "It's okay, the compartment is not bad."

Shen Chuan nodded and turned to look at the waiter: "Please lead the way."

"Hey!" The waiter immediately turned around and enthusiastically led everyone up to the second floor.
