Chapter 117 You Married a Good Wife
Tan Xianzhi was startled and waved his hands quickly: "Sorry, sorry, sir, don't joke with me. Since you have heard this, you should know that she is our boss and I am just the shopkeeper!"
The young man raised his eyebrows. Yes, this skinny man was old and ugly. He was overthinking it.
He asked, "Where is your boss?"
Tan Xianzhi felt that his tone and eyes were not very friendly. That condescending and domineering attitude really made people uncomfortable.
I was a little confused, wondering if this person was the boss's enemy.
He smiled and said, "My lord, you don't know that our boss has more than one business. I am only responsible for checking the accounts once a month. I don't even know where the boss is normally!"
"Where do they live then?"
"How can we ask about the boss's business? I really don't know!"
The young man frowned. He had been asking questions all the way here, but he didn't expect to get nothing. If he didn't complete the task his father gave him well, he would be scolded when he returned.
After thinking about it, he didn't leave, but walked into the shop.
Tan Xianzhi's smile froze a little: "Sir, is there anything else?"
"Oh, that's fine. I'm free anyway. So, tell me about your boss."
Tan Xianzhi felt a little puzzled. He sighed and said, "My lord, you don't know. Although I have worked in this shop for more than a year, I really don't know much about the boss. When I came here, the boss was already the boss here."
"Really?" The young man smiled and found a place to sit. His unhurried sitting posture and nonchalant expression made Tan Xianzhi's attitude become cautious again.
This man's bearing was either built up with money or power. He was just an ordinary citizen, and his boss was also an ordinary citizen, so he could not afford to offend him.
"Young master, you came here from the county town specially, you must be very familiar with our boss?" Tan Xianzhi inquired.
"I'm not very familiar with her, but I heard that she looks like an old friend of mine, so I came to see her!" The young man said nonchalantly.
Tan Xianzhi laughed and said, "So that's how it is. So it seems that you have never met our boss?"
"Well, I haven't seen it!" He suddenly curled his lips: "But if I saw it, I would definitely recognize it!"
Seeing that he could not get anything out of Tan Xianzhi, the young man waved his hand and left with his men.
But he didn't go far, he went straight to the shop next door.
His guards began to inquire without him having to speak.
The shopkeeper of the shop next door thought for a moment and replied, "Ask the owner of the tailor shop. She is a very capable young lady. I heard she is from Taohua Village in our town. She had a very hard life in the past. I don't know the details. If you are interested, you may be able to find out something by going there."
"How do I get to Taohua Village?"
"Taohua Village is on the east side of the town. Just go down the official road and keep going straight. It's not too far away, only about a mile or two."
"I heard that Miss Zhao has more than one property. Where are her other properties?"
"In the county town, right? Miss Zhao is a hard-working person, and her clothes are very good. Many people in the county town come to buy them!"
"Thank you, I'll use these to buy some wine!"
"How can this be so embarrassing? Thank you so much."
The guard asked again: "Boss, which inn in this town is clean? Which restaurant has delicious food?"
"All the inns are similar, there are only two in total. As for the restaurant, the one that has to be Jixianglou is the one. People in the county come here specially to eat the several signature dishes in Jixianglou."
The young man stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go eat too."
The young man went to the inn to clean up first, and then went to Jixianglou for dinner.
Although the young man was very picky, he was still very satisfied with the meal at Jixiang Restaurant.
Afterwards, he took his servants to Ningshan County, and he ordered the other two to do some work.
Although the Su Jin Tailor Shop in the county town has only been open for less than two months, it is not difficult to find out about it.
When Luo Jingxiu stood in front of the shop, Yu Yuanda in the shop held a piece of letter in his hand, which read: "A nobleman is asking about the boss's affairs, and his intention is unclear. The nobleman's attitude is very arrogant, be careful!"
This was the letter that Tan Xianzhi had sent to the county town after the young master left.
Yu Yuanda folded the letter and put it away. When he raised his eyes, he saw a nobleman walking in.
He has a tall figure, and wears a dark jade-colored brocade robe with gold decoration. His black hair is tied up with a golden crown. His narrow eyes are scrutinizing, and his lips are thin and rosy, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. He seems to be picky about everything. His superior and condescending look really makes people feel uncomfortable, and his attitude is indeed very arrogant.
Yu Yuanda understood that this person might be the arrogant nobleman that Tan Xianzhi mentioned in the letter.
He cupped his hands and said, "Sir, there are so many clothes in my small building, I wonder what you would like to choose!"
The young man took a look and asked: "Where is your boss?"
Yu Yuanda smiled and said, "I am it!"
The young man narrowed his eyes and looked at Yu Yuanda carefully again. He was about thirty-two or thirty-three years old, wearing a dark blue robe, tall and thin, with an ordinary appearance.
A faint sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "You married a good wife!"
Yu Yuanda just felt that the eyes of this nobleman were a little strange. The critical and scrutinizing look, the teasing and mocking look, made him confused.
"My lord, do you have any misunderstanding? I still haven't married yet."
The young man raised his eyebrows. Was he wrong again?
Yu Yuanda reminded: "Sir, is there anything you need?"
The young man walked to a chair where guests were resting, lifted his robe and sat down: "I came from Nanlong County City, and I want to find a lady named Zhao to discuss cooperation!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Yuanda became more enthusiastic: "So you are here to discuss cooperation, please come this way!"
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, thinking that Madam Zhao was worthy of her. Not only did she make several deals after a trip to the county town, but she even had a noble person come here to discuss cooperation.
Entering from the side door, there is a small courtyard. On the right side of the courtyard is an independent room with clean windows and a wide open door. That is where Zhao Susu usually discusses cooperation with others.
Yu Yuanda was leading people over there when a little girl stepped into the shop.
The young man turned around and saw the girl. He paused for a moment and immediately walked up to her: "Are you Zhao Susu's daughter?"
Meng Yu raised his head slightly and looked at the noble young man: "Who are you?"
The young man rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "I am your uncle! Where is your mother?"
Meng Yu tilted her head: "Are you mistaken? I don't even have an uncle."
"You can't be wrong. Didn't you already know in the county city that Zhao Youcai stole your mother? I'm your uncle! I asked all the way here just to take you and your mother home!"
"Who are you then? What's your name?"
"Me? My name is Luo Jingxiu, and I'm your fourth uncle!" The young man laughed, his eyes slightly raised, revealing a hint of pride and sarcasm.
