Lin Ting'an suddenly noticed another kind of gaze, which was cold, sharp and deep.
He looked at the owner of his gaze, and his heart was suddenly startled. Is it him? The person that countless people in the capital wanted to see but couldn't see was actually in a small restaurant in Wuling County? No wonder the three words on the plaque outside were so vigorous and powerful.
The shock Lin Tingan felt when he saw Shen Fengming was much greater than when he saw Jiang Yunzhu. For a moment, he even forgot the purpose of his coming here.
Lin Qing didn't know Shen Fengming. He felt that his son was acting strangely today. He was a man who was always calm in the face of adversity. But today, he was stunned at a girl and now he was staring at a man? Although the man was handsome and extraordinary.
"There seems to be a mistake here." Shen Fengming said softly, bringing Jiang Yunzhu's attention back.
"Where?" Jiang Yunzhu lowered her head to look at the account book, and her mood slowly calmed down.
"Here, a plate of crab shell biscuits, a plate of lotus root cake, and a pot of Biluochun, it's written as seventy-three coins, but below it says sixty-eight coins." Shen Fengming pointed out the mistake to Jiang Yunzhu.
Jiang Yunzhu took a look and found that it was true. She picked up a pen and started to make changes.
At this time, Lin Ting'an also collected his thoughts. He heard the conversation between Jiang Yunzhu and Shen Fengming. Seventy-three coins, sixty-eight coins. He didn't know that Governor Shen would worry about a matter of dozens of coins.
He looked around. There were some customers and waiters in the teahouse, but they didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with what had just happened.
Lin Ting'an had a guess in his mind, he was afraid that these people didn't know the identity of the person behind the counter. Yes, if Shen Fengming's identity was known, the scene here shouldn't be like this now.
"Guest, what would you like to eat or drink? Please take a seat." Li He greeted Lin Ting'an warmly.
Lin Ting'an regained his previous composure and chose a seat by the window to sit down. While carefully observing the surroundings, he casually ordered some tea and food.
Li He went to prepare.
"Go and check the owner of this store carefully." Lin Ting'an ordered Lin Qing.
Lin Qing went out immediately.
Soon, a plate of crab shell biscuits, a plate of minced fruit cake, and a pot of Dahongpao were brought up.
Li He poured tea for Lin Ting'an and then turned and left.
Lin Ting'an looked at the table and saw that the tea bowls and plates were just like the shop, all of which were carefully designed. The fine white porcelain plate was painted with the image of a gardenia, and there were three small words next to it: "The tea is not cold." Although the pattern and words were not as profound as the three words on the plaque outside, they were definitely not bad.
This store is very interesting.
Lin Ting'an picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea. It was just a medium-to-high-quality Dahongpao, but it was brewed to its fullest flavor. Moreover, it was very strange that because Dahongpao is durable, other places would use boiling water to brew this kind of tea, but this shop used slightly cooler water to brew it.
It’s not that the latter is better than the former, but that he likes the taste of the latter.
This Dahongpao seemed to be brewed specially for him.
"Who made this tea?" Lin Ting'an asked Li He as he happened to pass by.
"It's made with small ones. What's the matter? The customer doesn't like it?" Li He replied.
"Who did you learn this method of making tea from?" Lin Ting'an asked.
"With our boss." Li He replied.
Lin Ting'an glanced at Jiang Yunzhu again. The way she lowered her head to look at the accounts was exactly the same as the leisurely and independent look she had under the fireworks.
"Guest?" Li He didn't know what Lin Ting'an meant.
"Go down." Lin Ting'an said.
Li He left inexplicably.
Lin Ting'an had originally ordered something casually, but after finishing the Da Hong Pao, he became interested in the remaining two plates of cakes. He first picked up a crab shell sesame cake, which was golden and round, just like a crab shell.
When you take a bite, the outer shell is crispy, the filling inside is slightly spicy and fragrant, and has a special sweet taste, which is very delicious.
The same goes for the mincemeat cake. Even with so many dried fruits in it, it’s not overly sweet at all.
When Lin Qing came back, he saw that his son, who was usually very picky about food, had already eaten half a plate of crab shell biscuits and half a plate of fruit cakes, and he seemed to have drunk a lot of tea as well.
Lin Qing was amazed. Strange things happen every year, but today there are more. Then he thought, is the food in this restaurant really so delicious
Lin Ting'an looked at him.
Lin Qing shuddered, and hurried over to report to him. Jiang Yunzhu, the owner of this store, fled from Changfeng Prefecture with her parents last year. She started living in Changshi Village and made a living by selling a kind of breakfast called Hu La Tang.
Later, I changed to selling lunch, and then came to the county town to open Qishanju…
He also asked about Shen Fengming. His surname was Shen and his given name was Jie Yu. He was a grain merchant from the capital who was staying here temporarily.
Another point worth noting is that Jiang Yunxiu is actually Jiang Yunzhu's sister.
"Jiang Yunzhu." Lin Ting'an repeated in a low voice, stroking the cup with his hand.
Another half a quarter of an hour later, Lin Ting'an left, as if he was just an ordinary guest.
Lin Qing was puzzled. Didn't his son come here for that matter? Why did he leave like that? However, his son's mind was always unpredictable, so he didn't need to ask, he just had to wait for instructions.
Sure enough, after leaving the teahouse, Lin Ting'an said, "Let Jiang Yunxiu come to see me."
"Yes." Lin Qing said.
It was still the inn in the west of the city. Jiang Yunxiu was ecstatic. The eldest master wanted to see her? Could it be that he finally...
Before she could bow gracefully, she heard Lin Ting'an say calmly, "Tell me about your family."
Home? Jiang Yunxiu was puzzled, but she still talked about it.
What she remembered most clearly about her family was how hard life was after they fled to Qinghe Village, and how she enjoyed her glory after Jiang Yunzhu came back. Of course, she couldn't talk about these.
She only talked about what happened before she fled the famine, and she spoke haltingly.
As she spoke, she glanced at Lin Ting'an's reaction.
This handsome young man had no expression on his face, making it hard to guess what he was thinking. But the more he was like this, the more he looked cool and extraordinary, making people dazzled.
"So, you don't know what happened after your parents fled here?" Lin Ting'an asked.
Jiang Yunxiu was very upset. If she had known that Lin Ting'an was interested in these things, she would have asked Chen more.
"You should go home more often." Lin Ting'an suddenly said.
Jiang Yunxiu didn't know what he meant, but she still took it as a golden rule. As long as he was willing to see her, she would do whatever he asked her to do.
Half an hour later, Jiang Yunxiu returned to Changshi Village carrying large and small bags of things.
Jiang Cheng and Chen were naturally happy to see her.
This time Jiang Yunxiu seemed to be a different person. She was very concerned about the two of them, which made Chen's eyes red. Naturally, she told her everything she knew.
Soon, Lin Ting'an learned more about Jiang Yunzhu and Shen Fengming.
The event of giving away porridge and planting trees in Wuling County was really related to her, and he became more and more interested in her.
Shen Fengming called himself Shen Jieyu, and indeed concealed his identity from everyone. And he stayed here for a long time, and he also guessed something today, maybe it was because of Jiang Yunzhu
Everyone said that Shen Fengming was not interested in women, but who would have thought that he would hide his identity for a woman.
Lin Ting'an leaned back in his chair, looking at the sunset outside, his eyebrows slightly raised.
There is finally something worth looking forward to in Luzhou.
The tea was still hot. When Lin Ting'an stood up, Jiang Yunzhu saw him. Then she suddenly remembered something. For example, why the Qin family's food was suddenly checked, and why Lin Ting'an suddenly appeared here...
The two seem to have nothing to do with each other, but what if we have to connect them together
Isn't it Lin Ting'an's usual practice to alert the enemy, follow the clues, find out the whole thing, and control the whole thing? If there is anyone in the world who knows Lin Ting'an best, it must be Jiang Yunzhu.
I guess he saw the huge interests behind this matter and wanted to profit from it!
Jiang Yunzhu felt a headache, this matter was definitely not over.
At this time, Shen Fengming had already obtained information about Lin Ting'an and why he appeared here. From the information, Jiang Yunzhu and Lin Ting'an did not seem to know each other, but the way she looked at him today
Lin Ting'an has the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix.
Shen Fengming looked up at the bronze mirror opposite him, which reflected his current appearance.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Come in."
There was no one outside the house, but soon, a figure appeared, "I am Shadow 39, here to see the governor."
"Go and help me do something." Shen Fengming ordered.
"yes."
The next morning, Jiang Yunzhu went out and saw Shen Fengming standing in the yard.
He changed into new clothes today, a moon-white brocade robe with silver cloud patterns embroidered on the collar and cuffs, which made his figure look more upright. The white jade crown on his head glowed in the morning light, making him look as radiant as a flawless jade.
Jiang Yunzhu was stunned for a moment.
"Miss Jiang, I remember that when I went for a horse ride, I found several wild cherry trees growing in a valley. Calculating the time, they should be ripe now. Do you want to go and see?" Shen Fengming asked.
Cherries? Jiang Yunzhu felt her mouth water. Wild cherries in ancient times were very small, but when ripe, they were sweet and sour. Moreover, cherries can be made into many delicious foods!
As it happened, spring had arrived, and she had yet to go outside to enjoy the beauty of the spring.
"Where?" Jiang Yunzhu asked.
"I'll take you there."
"Well, Master Shen, just tell me the place and I'll hire a carriage to go there. If there are a lot of cherries, I can bring back some more." Jiang Yunzhu said hesitantly.
"Let me go with you. I'm afraid you can't find the place." Shen Fengming said.
Jiang Yunzhu thought about it and made the same decision. She prepared a basket, water, some food, took He Ying with her, hired a carriage, and headed straight to the suburbs.
Shen Fengming followed on horseback.
It is spring now and many people are going out for spring outings, so the road is very lively.
But the road was getting more and more remote. "Sir, are you sure this route is correct?" the coachman asked Shen Fengming.
"Yes, it's just in front." Shen Fengming said.
The coachman did not dare to ask any more questions and continued to move forward until the road ahead became narrower and narrower and it seemed that the carriage could no longer pass.
"This young man?" asked the coachman.
"Just stop here." Shen Fengming then dismounted and said to Jiang Yunzhu, "Miss Jiang, it's just ahead."
Jiang Yunzhu was very excited at first, admiring the spring scenery everywhere, but later she felt a little sleepy. When she heard Shen Fengming's voice, she woke up, opened the carriage curtain and looked out.
There are cliffs everywhere. What is this
"It's over there." Shen Fengming pointed ahead.
Jiang Yunzhu looked in the direction of his finger, but saw nothing.
"Let's go a little further." Shen Fengming said.
He Ying jumped out of the car first and walked a few steps in that direction. Suddenly, she turned back in surprise, "Girl, come and see!"
Jiang Yunzhu got off the carriage and walked over there.
At first, I only saw some rocks, but after walking a few more steps, the view in front of me suddenly opened up. A small waterfall flowed down from the cliff on the other side and gathered into a small pool. The water in the pool was sparkling and clear.
There is green grass beside the pond, and various wild flowers of different colors are blooming in the middle.
What attracted Jiang Yunzhu's attention the most were the wild cherry trees on the lake side. The cherries were ripe at this time, and each cherry hung on the tree like agate, reflected in the lake water, which was beautiful.
Jiang Yunzhu was delighted and walked quickly towards the valley.
Soon, she smelled a faint floral scent, and then her feet stepped on the grass, which felt soft like a carpet.
"Girl, this place is so beautiful." He Ying exclaimed.
Jiang Yunzhu nodded, she was indeed beautiful.
At this time, she had come to the cherry trees, reached out to pick a few cherries, washed them in the pond beside, and then put them in her mouth. The tender cherries broke when touched by her teeth, and the sweet and sour juice immediately filled her mouth.
"It tastes delicious." She turned around and wanted He Ying to have a taste too, but who would have thought that Shen Fengming had walked behind her at some point. He was raising his hand as if he was going to do something, but when she turned around, his hand just brushed against her lips.
