Although Zhu Yanyin had instructed her to keep it light, the aunts in the clothing shop still went a little further and combed her hair into a popular loose bun with green hair. When they left, they left her a small hairpin and told her that if she wanted to kill someone, she should tie up the rest of her hair first.
The corridor was silent.
Lan Yan blushed even more when she was stared at, and even felt a little shy, but she couldn't kill anyone because her hair was not tied up yet, so she turned around and ran back to the bedroom, holding up the hem of her skirt with one hand.
Jiang Shenglin thought, what a weird thing! How could a person’s personality change along with his clothes? Was it just a change of clothes or soul-stealing? Could this be the mysterious power from a prominent family in Jiangnan
Li Sui glanced coldly at Room No. 1. If Master Zhu saw it, he would surely cover his face nervously to avoid being squeezed and flattened again.
Jiang Shenglin followed Li Sui into the room, and the fragile Lan Yan was still in his mind. Of course, she was beautiful, but it was mainly like being possessed by evil spirits, which was similar to the butchers in the city who suddenly shook their heads and began to chant "Guan Guan Ju Jiu". It was a supernatural event. However, after drinking a cup of tea, the doctor quickly convinced himself. After all, even Kicking Snow Wuzhu had learned to change his feet in the air and trot backwards, so what else could the people of Jiangnan not do? They were all small scenes.
Li Sui frowned: "What are you shaking your head for?"
Jiang Shenglin said, "If we continue to travel together for a while, I'm afraid that from the people to the horses of Wanren Palace, they will be assimilated into Zhu Mansion. Did you know that Kicking Snow Wuzhui no longer eats hay and has to go to the next door to get food every day?"
Li Sui: “I don’t know.”
Jiang Shenglin: "No, you must know, you just pretend not to know."
Li Sui: “…”
He did know, but whether it was because he was too lazy to care, what does it mean to "pretend not to know"
The murderer gave him a cold glance.
The doctor immediately changed the subject: "I guess that medicine bottle is related to the Red Apricot Pharmacy."
Li Sui leaned back in his chair and said, "Tell me about it."
"Hongxing Pharmacy got its start in Fengcheng. I heard from my father that fifty years ago, the whole territory of Dayu was hit by a plague. The imperial court tried every possible method, but could never cure it. Fortunately, a herbal medicine merchant named Li Fufeng prepared an effective prescription using herbs such as Qibaizi, Fenchun and Qiushi, which stopped the natural disaster."
Moreover, Li Fufeng's prescriptions were not only effective, but also free of charge. They were open to the public, and even the medicine money could be waived if possible. The court remembered his contributions and naturally gave him many conveniences. Li's Hongxing Pharmacy opened up all over the country almost overnight. The people knew that Li Dashan was a good man with good character. Unlike other unscrupulous businessmen, he would use soaked, rotten and moldy medicines to make dirty money. Therefore, when they were sick, they liked to go to Hongxing, and the Li family also prospered from generation to generation.
Jiang Shenglin said: "But his medicine is really good."
"Mr. Li," Li Sui said, "It sounds familiar."
Jiang Shenglin was puzzled: "Li Fufeng has passed away many years ago, how come you sound so familiar with him?"
"I'm not familiar with Li Fufeng, I'm familiar with the great good man."
"… Du Yafeng?"
Li Sui said: "The Du family has also always regarded themselves as great philanthropists, and Shangru Villa is also in Fengcheng."
Jiang Shenglin seemed to be thinking about something. "Although a medicine bottle cannot be used as evidence, you and I have always suspected Shangru Villa. This makes it more certain. Should we go check it out tonight? The people from Shangru Villa and Wulin League are staying at Shannan Inn together."
Li Sui nodded: "Let... I go in person."
Jiang Shenglin keenly caught the pause and said, "Did you want to let Lan Yan go, but then you remembered that gorgeous dress?"
Li Sui said without emotion, "Go away."
Doctor Jiang: Just get out!
After finishing the business, he also wanted to see the ladies in Jiangnan, so he went to the next door and knocked. As a result, he was shocked again when he entered, because the whole room was hung with clothes, silks and satins, and there was even a small box of jewelry on the table. It felt like if she tidied up, she could play the suona and get married on the spot.
"I asked those ladies how much silver they had to return to Mr. Zhu, but they refused to tell me."
Zhu Xiaosui's face was full of surprise, as if "we in the Zhu family give gifts to others, how can we ask for the money back?" Lan Yan did not dare to insist, because although she was also rich, she was obviously not on the same level as the Zhu family in Jiangnan. They were unfamiliar with enjoyment and gift-giving, and were not as handy as killing people, so she could only carefully test the edge of returning the gift, and quickly retract her feet if she was frightened.
Pretend nothing happened.
Later, Zhu Xiaosui came to invite Jiang Shenglin and Lan Yan to have dinner together, saying that there were some fresh spring water fish sent by Jiangnan, and they wanted to try them.
Lan Yan: "Where did you send the live fish from?"
Zhu Xiaosui replied, Jiangnan. My eldest young master is counting the days. That fish is commonly known as three-sided white fish. It is soft and tender with few bones. It is only available in this season. The second young master likes to eat it very much. So as soon as the first net was caught in the lake, the master rushed to send people to the north. It is raised in the Hongdan Bank dozens of miles away. The owner of the bank is the second young master's distant uncle. He also dug a lot of fresh vegetables and sent people to Wanjing City this afternoon.
Jiang Shenglin: “…”
Why do I feel like every person in your Zhu family has a money house
For a moment I didn't know where to start to envy.
Lan Yan had just received thirty sets of clothes and jewelry and had not yet repaid the favor, so she didn't feel comfortable going for a free meal. So she found an excuse, saying that she had to accompany her palace master out.
Zhu Xiaosui said, "Oh, my son has gone to invite Palace Master Li personally, so we can just have a simple meal, it won't delay anything."
This is his good point. Although he doesn't like the evildoers in the martial arts world and hopes that the young master will stay away from Wanren Palace, he is not lazy about doing things because of this. He can still complete every small task assigned by Zhu Yanyin in an orderly manner.
In the next room, Zhu Yanyin was inviting Li Sui.
"No."
Mr. Zhu: It’s an expected answer, but it’s okay, I can do it!
So he continued to incite: "Divine Doctor Jiang and Miss Lan will both go. Three white noodles are coated with batter and deep-fried. A bite of them is crispy and fragrant. It is the most delicious thing in the world."
At least it’s better than your bowl of braised pork ribs noodles.
Li Sui said: "I have something to do."
Zhu Yanyin: "What's the matter?"
"Night visit."
"Who are you looking for?"
"Shangru Villa."
Zhu Yanyin had an impression of the name of this villa, because the two words "Shangru" sounded full of intimacy, and he could even imagine a kind old man with a white beard, a gentleman who makes friends through literature and helps others with their friendship. Now when he heard that Li Sui was going to visit Shangru Villa at night, he immediately lowered his voice: "Is there something wrong with them? Do they look righteous and kind, but in fact they are secretly colluding with the Burning Fire Palace, trying to wipe out the righteous martial arts world and cause a bloody storm?"
Li Sui sheathed his sword and said, "Even the Wulin Alliance didn't realize it, but you know it clearly."
Zhu Yanyin answered truthfully: "Because it's written in the Jianghu novels."
Li Sui raised his eyes to look at him: "Is it really just because of the Jianghu storybook?"
Zhu Yanyin was stunned. What do you mean by that? Do you suspect that I have any connection with the Demon Cult just because I am knowledgeable, thoughtful and can answer questions quickly? I am not. I don't have any. Don't talk nonsense.
Li Sui was very interested: "If you say there is no evidence, then there is no evidence. Where is the evidence?"
Zhu Yanyin said without hesitation: "You said it yourself last time, Chi Tian would never like me."
Li Sui: “…”
Zhu Yanyin: "Want to eat?"
Li Sui said fiercely: "I won't eat it, and you are not allowed to eat it either!"
Zhu Yanyin was shocked by this unreasonable request: "Why?"
"Because you already know the secret of Shangru Villa." Li Sui relied on his lack of expression to scare people blatantly, "So according to the rules of the underworld, I have to tie you up and put you in jail first."
Zhu Yanyin tactfully raised his opinion: "It seems that there is no such rule in the martial arts world."
Li Sui tapped Xiang Jun Sword with the back of his fingers: "This is the rule."
Zhu Yanyin: Okay, okay, then don’t tie me up when you lock me up. I can go back to my room by myself.
According to the procedure, Palace Master Li should laugh heartily at this time, and maybe pinch his face hard, and then everyone can go downstairs to eat happily. But this time the plot went off track, and Li Sui asked him, "Did you make the blue smoke?"
Zhu Yanyin smiled and said, "It's not me, it's the aunts and tailors in the clothing shop. I saw that Miss Lan's skirt was all dirty this morning, so I gave her a few new ones. How about it? Isn't it gentle and beautiful?"
Li Sui snorted: "I didn't see it."
"That doesn't matter. You can take a closer look after we get to the dinner table." Zhu Yanyin grabbed his sleeve and forcibly pulled him up - it was forcible on the surface, but in fact everyone knew that if Palace Master Li didn't want to, no one in the world could force him successfully. Only the second young master Zhu, who was skilled and courageous, could pull people out of the guest room in full view of everyone.
Zhu Zhang had already arranged four seats, and deliberately let Jiang Shenglin and Lan Yan sit face to face, so that when the young master and Palace Master Li came down, they could sit separately. But although he thought it through, Zhu Yanyin did not cooperate. Before he sat down, he asked Jiang Shenglin to move one seat to the left.
Old Butler: OK, I understand. I’ll put your name in front of your seat next time.
The main dish was three-sided white noodles that were shipped from Jiangnan. After being fried, they were golden yellow. The chef also steamed a few bowls of egg custard with small whitebait for everyone. The tableware and dishes were all exquisite. In order to take care of the people in the martial arts world, Zhu Yanyin had actually instructed that many unnecessary decorations and rules should be reduced, but a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Before Palace Master Li had eaten two bites of the food, the plate in front of him had been changed eight times.
"… "
Zhu Yanyin promptly ordered: "Uncle Zhang, take the others down to rest, we will eat by ourselves."
Zhu Zhang refused: "Young Master, how can there be no one to serve you when you eat?"
Zhu Yanyin remained calm: "But we want to tell you the secrets of the martial arts world, which cannot be known by others."
Zhu Zhang felt a tightness in his chest, and tried to keep a pleasant expression: "What does the Jianghu secret have to do with you? How about this, since Palace Master Li and the others want to discuss something important, I will send you back to your room first, and we can eat somewhere else."
Zhu Yanyin: I don’t want to leave!
Li Sui continued to eat and said calmly: "If you want to stay, you can just say so yourself, you don't have to keep kicking me."
Zhu Yanyin: “…Oh.”
