The reborn abandoned woman reigns

Chapter 23

Of course Sima Xukong would not tell Li Yichen that he had been tricked by a woman, so he could only take a breath silently, and then said: "I don't have any troubles, it's just that the weather is too hot and I'm upset. That's all, you all said That teahouse is not bad, so let's go and have a look there."

Seeing Sima Xukong walking in front, Zuo Pinggui pushed Li Yichen with his elbow, and asked in a low voice: "Hey, I see something is wrong with your lord, do you know what happened?"

Li Yichen shrugged his shoulders, shook his head and said: "If I knew, I would be able to prescribe the right medicine and help the prince have fun. How could I be like you and kick the iron plate everywhere."

Zuo Pinggui scratched his head strangely, and said: "It's really evil, the prince is rarely depressed, what's the matter today."

These words made Li Yichen silent for a long time without answering.He knew the situation of the Ninth Prince. Most of the time, his cynicism was just a means to protect himself. Even in the face of danger and difficulties, he would smile at them.No one knows his true thoughts, he can always perfectly disguise himself.This situation is very dangerous for him now, Ninth Prince, does he know it?

Sima Xukong didn't know what Li Yichen was thinking, so he boarded a carriage first, and after sitting down, he waved the paper fan, his long hair at the temples was blown wildly.

Not long after, Li Yichen also boarded the carriage. Seeing Sima Xukong's restless appearance, he smiled and took out a box from the corner. After opening it, a gust of cold air rushed over his face, refreshing him. .

Moving forward, Sima Xu saw that it was an ice box, and couldn't help asking: "You have such a good thing, why didn't you take it out when you came?"

"When we came here, what everyone was thinking about was beautiful women, wine and beautiful scenery. Who cares if it's hotter? But the return journey is different. It's exhausting itself, and any unhappiness and discomfort will be magnified." Heiliang eyes looked To Sima Xukong, Li Yichen smiled and said, "The same situation applies to people's hearts."

Li Yichen, who always had a playful smile, suddenly spoke politely, which made Sima Xukong very unaccustomed. He sat up straight and asked, "Are you okay, what you said is really weird."

"Yichen is naturally fine, but I just feel that the prince's current situation is very bad."

His face darkened, Sima Xukong seemed to know what Li Yichen was going to say.

"The emperor is suspicious by nature. Although he treats you kindly on the surface, you and I both know that the emperor has always been afraid of your existence. If the empress dowager hadn't intervened, you would have been dispatched to a wilderness by the emperor. Perhaps you I have no intentions, but the emperor may not be able to interpret anything from it. My lord, we have been by your side for so long, and we don't want you to stumble over trivial matters."

Holding the folding fan in his hand, Sima Xukong raised his eyebrows and said: "There is no need to make a fuss about this matter, it's just that this king misjudged and was troubled by a stupid woman. But you are right, you must be careful in front of the emperor. Go to the teahouse in a while, you arrange it to be lively."

Seeing that Sima Xukong's eyes regained his composure and composure, Li Yichen said with a smile: "Leave this kind of matter to me, my lord, don't worry!"

Withdrawing his gaze, Sima Xukong closed his eyes and rested his mind.Although his complexion did not change on the surface, the irritability in his heart was even worse.Fortunately, he is used to disguising his emotions, and when he closes his eyes lightly, everything turns into smoke.

Flipping through the account book in his hand, the eldest grandson raised the corners of his lips playfully, and said, "It's really strange. I remember that our eldest grandson's family buys more than a dozen bolts of silk every year. Why can't I see the sales in the account book?" , Didn’t see any inventory in the warehouse?”

"Back to Miss, our silk is used by the mansion every year, so naturally we can't see it being sold."

"For personal use?" Changsun Jingrong threw the account book on the table casually, raised his eyebrows and looked at Shopkeeper Qiu, and asked, "My mother and I each make four new clothes every season every year, and Aunt Jiao and her daughter make three new clothes every season." Wearing new clothes. Adding up the inside and outside here, you can use five pieces. Besides, after the winter, the silk is no longer used, and I can't figure out why the remaining silk is used."

Turning his eyes around, Shopkeeper Qiu bent his body and said, "It's like this, the lords and ladies from the Lizhi and Zongzhi will occasionally come to pick tricks. These are all from the same clan, and there is no way to talk about them." about money."

"What do you mean, that the people of this clan used up the silk? You should have a record of when and who used how much."

"This... the guy who was in charge of the record has been fired by you, and the old slave doesn't know where the booklet is placed."

Gently tapping the table with his fingers, Changsun Jingrong stared at the shopkeeper Qiu rightly, and said, "It doesn't matter if you can't find it, as long as you are still in the silk and satin village, you will find it sooner or later. Even if you don't find it in the end, it's a big deal for me." Go to my house and see who owes our goods on credit."

Head drooping again, shopkeeper Qiu said, "Going to my family for such a trivial matter, I'm afraid it will make people think we are stingy."

"What you said is also reasonable, so what should we do?" Changsun Jingrong seemed to be very distressed, raised his jaw, but did not take his eyes off Shopkeeper Qiu, and said slowly, "Why don't I do this, I don't want the record book Yes, as long as the missing cloth money can be made up, I can pretend that this has never happened. But if I don’t find the goods, the money, or even the brochures, then I will ask my father to come forward and find someone Catch the head and come to the store to have a look, and cut it off for me!"

The shoulders shrank involuntarily, and Qiu Butou nodded again and again: "Miss, please rest assured, the old slave will definitely find it with all his strength."

"Of course I believe in Shopkeeper Qiu's strength, otherwise you wouldn't be the only one left." Changsun Jingrong showed an inexplicable smile.

At this time, a new worker came to Changsun Jingrong with several cans of dye, and shopkeeper Qiu left.

Looking at the shopkeeper Qiu who was walking in a hurry, Changsun Jingrong's eyes sank.After discussing with the worker, Changsun Jingrong summoned Bihe and asked her to take a few staff to deliver samples to Xiao Runiang.

"Miss, let the guys deliver those things by themselves, and the servants should wait by your side." Bi He has always felt that the atmosphere here is weird recently, leaving her eldest grandson Jingrong here alone, she would worried.

"This is the first time to send a sample to a buyer. I should have sent it in person, but I have already made an appointment with Boss Zhang before, so I have no time to spare, so I let you, my confidant, go this way. If you feel that the sky outside Heat, if you don’t want to go through this, I’ll let someone else do it.”

After hearing what the eldest grandson Jingrong said, Bi He hurriedly waved his hands and said, "I don't dare to pick and choose, you can do whatever you want this servant to do. But if you go to Boss Zhang alone, this servant feels inappropriate. Why don't you go back first?" In the mansion, find another girl for you."

While speaking, Changsun Jingrong had already stood up, tidied up the things on the table, and said with a nonchalant smile: "In this prosperous and prosperous time, is it possible that you are still afraid that someone will come to trouble me? All right, I have already told you People have made an appointment, it's not good to be late."

Seeing that the eldest grandson Jingrong insisted, Bihe couldn't say anything more, but could only silently look at the eldest grandson Jingrong, his eyes full of worry.

……

The Wanjia Teahouse in the south of the city is one of the most prestigious teahouses in the capital. It welcomes customers from all over the world every day, and it is very lively.

However, compared to the bustle of people on the first floor, the second floor was much quieter. On the huge floor, there were only a dozen luxuriously dressed men sitting in twos and threes, drinking tea.Occasionally teasing each other a few words, causing bursts of laughter.

Cup after cup, it didn't take long for the teapot in front of Sima Xukong to bottom out.Seeing this, the servant who was waiting by his side hurriedly picked up the empty pot and said, "Guest officer, please wait a little while, I'll store it for you."

He waved his hand casually, Sima Xukong didn't bother to say anything more to him, so he asked the servant to step back.Looking around, Sima Xukong frowned and said: "Didn't you say that there is a storyteller here? Why have you been here for so long and haven't seen any shadows? Just sit like this now, so boring."

"Don't worry, my lord. The storyteller has made an appointment with the teahouse every day. He won't come early, and he won't leave late. It will start in about half an hour."

"What, another half an hour!?" When Sima Xukong heard this, the anger he had finally suppressed rose again, and he said angrily, "Let this king spend an hour waiting for a storyteller in such a hot day?" Man, this is so funny!!"

Seeing that Sima Xukong was about to leave, Li Yichen was busy with Zuo Pinggui to stop Sima Xukong, and said kindly: "I am also very impatient to wait, but we have been waiting for so long, and it is not too late. You should take a rest here, and after dark, let's go to have fun again!"

Sima Xukong tugged at his sleeves left and right, helplessly, being dragged to death by Li Yichen and Zuo Pinggui, he could only look at them viciously, and said, "If the storyteller gets boring after a while, I'll call you." Let's settle the accounts together!"

"Your Highness can settle accounts however you want at that time, just wait for now."

After finally coaxing Sima Xukong to sit down, Li Yichen trotted to the first floor, found the shopkeeper and urged: "What's the matter, didn't you say that you have ordered someone to call the storyteller over, where is he now?"

The shopkeeper didn't know whether it was the heat or the fear. His forehead was covered with sweat. After wiping it off, he said, "It's true that someone called for it. Maybe there was something delayed on the way, so it was a little late. How about this?" , I still have a singer here, let her go up and sing a few verses for the masters to relieve boredom."

"Girls who sing, don't hurry up and call!" Li Yichen patted the table with his palm and urged, "Hurry up, our master is already impatient, if you annoy him, don't care how big your shop is, come Don't even think about it!"

The shopkeeper knows people and things, and he knows that this group of people are not ordinary people when they look at their clothes, so naturally they dare not be sloppy, and nodded in response.

After a while, there was playing and singing upstairs, which was crisp and melodious, and mellow.

It's just that Sima Xukong was used to listening to masters tune the piano, and he was not interested in such clichés. After a while, he began to turn his eyes and deserted.

It's just that he saw an acquaintance!
