Chapter 84 is confusing
Jiang Anning and Song Yao chatted for a while, chatting with each other.
The door was knocked again, and two other charming women came with Brother Ying.
One of them is a late wife.
The other one looked quite familiar.
When I first came in, I took a quick glance at the new boss who was scolding the little maid on the first floor.
"Jiang..." An Ning?
After Jiao Niang saw Jiang Anning's face clearly, her eyes widened in shock.
Why is this girl here?
She covered her mouth in time to prevent the surprised sound from behind.
"I heard that the customer wants to buy our Huafang's specially made flower note?"
The girl's face looked slightly unnatural.
Jiang Anning frowned slightly, feeling that the unfamiliar new boss looked at her with something strange.
[Isn’t this the beauty Zhao Hai raised in the town? 】
[Look at this outfit, there are some people who are not like Zhao Hai and can afford to support him. 】
[Could it be that I found a new lover so quickly? It seems that Xin Huan is capable! 】
[Why do I think Zhao Hai is the adopted one? 】
[As the person above guessed, Zhao Hai was the one being raised. Why did he defraud An Ning of the dowry money and give it to this woman? 】
Jiang Anning was surprised.
Is this woman Zhao Hai's sweetheart?
She looked at the person for a few times without any trace, and smiled as usual.
"Exactly."
She shook the flower note in her hand: "I think this thing is quite clever. It smells refreshing and I want to buy some back."
“I just don’t know if it’s convenient or not.”
Jiao Niang has adjusted her expression and responded appropriately: "If the guests ask for anything, we will naturally make it convenient."
She took the evening lady aside and introduced her: "The incense used in this flower note was made by the oiran lady who used to be our Huafang. I wonder if the guest still recognizes it?"
The bride's eyes were clear and she bowed to everyone in a decent manner.
Looking at him, it seemed as if he didn't recognize Jiang Anning at all.
"The two guests seem a bit unfamiliar to each other. I'm afraid they didn't come here often before, right?" The wife's voice was soft and there was nothing unusual about it.
Jiang Anning didn't know why Wan Niang suddenly pretended not to know her, or even...
There's no trace of it being fake at all.
It was as if they had never known each other before.
She smiled quietly, her eyes just passing by the person's face, as if she were facing a stranger.
“I’m afraid I’m going to make a joke, but it’s indeed our first time to visit Huafang…”
When Jiang Anning said this, she showed a somewhat reserved expression.
"But that's not true. When I first came in, I didn't even dare to express my anger, for fear that something would go wrong and make me laugh."
Song Yao didn't notice anything was wrong and answered the question very naturally.
Jiao Niang looked at the two of them without leaving any trace.
She raised her smile again and said, "Oh, this time, it's familiar twice. We are not all in this place. After the first time, there will be a second time."
Song Yao and Jiang Anning looked at each other, and both just smiled in tacit understanding and said nothing.
The girl knew that she didn't mean what she said.
I simply didn’t mention it again and decisively changed the subject: “I’m going to get flower slips for the two guests to choose from.”
She stood up and patted Wan Niang's hand: "Let Wan Niang accompany you two to talk!"
"With pleasure."
Jiang Anning picked up the tea cup and drank water to hide the strangeness.
Jiao Niang gave up a smile, and when she left, she gave Brother Ying a wink calmly.
After they left, Brother Ying took the initiative to step forward and said: "The charcoal in the red stove is burned out, and the tea is probably a little cold. I'll go get a new pot."
Jiang Anning said lightly 'hmm'.
After waiting for the person to go out, Wan Niang waited for a while, guessing that the person must have gone far away, and was about to say something.
Jiang Anning raised her index finger and made a 'shh' sound.
The late wife blinked her eyes, not knowing why.
Even Song Yao looked at her doubtfully.
"He didn't leave, he came back again." Jiang Anning moved her mouth silently.
Wan Niang and Song Yao both looked surprised.
Song Yao was shocked. She came to visit the brothel. She originally wanted to listen to music and have fun. Why did she suddenly become confused?
The late mother was surprised, how did Jiang Anning know that the person had not left, and then turned back.
Obviously, there are still singing and dancing performances going on downstairs, and the melodious sounds can't be heard.
She didn't hear any footsteps.
"...It is a clever idea to soak the flower paper with the fragrance of flowers."
Jiang Anning casually picked up a topic.
The late wife couldn't help but want to look behind her, but after hearing this, she cheered up and told people some insignificant things about perfume mixing.
"I discovered some ingenuity accidentally. I don't deserve your compliments from the guest, but I couldn't bear to waste those flowers, so I messed up some flower notes to play with. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a coincidence."
The two of them chatted about non-nutritious topics from time to time.
Song Yao couldn't understand and couldn't answer the words. He blinked and ate melon seeds attentively.
Brother Ying stood guard at the door, her ear pressed tightly against the door, wanting to listen carefully to what the people inside were saying.
After listening to it, it was just useless information.
He became a little anxious.
Without paying attention for a moment, half of his body leaned out.
The door wasn't closed tightly to begin with, so he pushed it open immediately.
Brother Ying also fell in.
All three of them seemed to be shocked.
"Didn't you say I'm going to change tea?"
Wan Niang's face turned cold and she stared at Brother Ying, begging for an explanation.
Brother Ying's face turned pale with fright: "I, I went to exchange for tea..."
"Where's the tea?"
The late wife was reluctant: "Why didn't Teapot come back with you, but you...were you eavesdropping in the corner just now?"
She slapped the table angrily and stood up, shouting: "How do you learn the rules!"
When Jiao Niang heard the argument in the distance, she frowned and hurried over.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
She said with a big smile: "Weren't you fine just now?"
None of the three of them paid any attention to her, and they all had angry looks on their faces.
The girl couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
She looked left and right, and then her eyes fell on Brother Ying who was kneeling on the ground, and angrily shouted: "Did you do something to make the guests unhappy?"
"Why don't you tell the truth quickly!"
Brother Ying trembled, her mind went blank: "I..."
How does he know what to say?
If you are caught spying, you will not be able to escape heavy punishment no matter what.
"Let me tell you."
The evening lady glanced at the person: "I was chatting with the two guests just now, but this unknown thing suddenly pounced in."
"I saw the guilty look on his face, and I guessed that he was afraid that the excuse he just exchanged for a pot of tea was a lie, and that he was hiding at the door and eavesdropping, so I deliberately tried a few words."
"I didn't expect that he really did it on his own!"
Wan Niang looked at Jiao Niang and said in a displeased tone: "Jiao Niang, in the past when Wu Niang was here, although the boat painting business was a bit deserted, no one would break the rules!"
"Why is it that now that the boat is in your hands, the people have been replaced by new ones, but the rules are not as good as before?"
"I advise you not to neglect the teachings of these people." "Otherwise, if this person dares to lie at the door and eavesdrop on the guests today, tomorrow there will be someone who dares to get under the bed and eavesdrop on the guests. How are you? ”
"In this long time, who will dare to come to your boat to have fun again?"
“I’m afraid I’m not going to be spied on like a sieve.”
The girl's face turned blue and white, and her smile was forced.
"It's not as serious as you said."
She glanced at Brother Ying and said, "Maybe this kid was careless and walked a little faster. He didn't pay attention when he was approaching the door. He didn't stop for a while, so he was rash."
Seeing that the faces of the three of them were ugly, Jiao Niang turned cold and went over to kick Brother Ying a few times.
"Things that don't wink at all should follow the usual rules and go into the dog's belly?"
The late wife was displeased: "Okay, if the servant breaks the rules, just take him down and teach him. The guests are still here. What do you look like beating and scolding?"
She squinted at Jiao Niang and Brother Ying: "It's like I'm showing off to someone here."
Jiao Niang looked embarrassed and felt even more annoyed.
Is this woman pushing her nose too hard?
It's her fault!
But I couldn't offend anyone, so I could only endure my anger and direct all my anger on Brother Ying.
"Why don't you get out and get your punishment?"
Following her scolding, Brother Ying withdrew in tears.
Jiao Niang turned her head and apologized to Jiang Anning and the others with an apologetic expression: "Hey, I'm so sorry. I just bought this boat, and all of them are newbies who don't know the rules, and they disturbed your guests. Today, the blame will be placed on me. I’ll treat you as an apology, okay?”
Jiang Anning looked at Song Yao.
Song Yao nodded.
"We are all open for business. I know you are in trouble, but after all we are here to have fun, but we encounter such a bad thing. I'm afraid we will never dare to come here again."
Song Yao glanced at the person, as if he was still dissatisfied.
"Yes, yes, guest, you are right."
The young lady nodded and bowed, apologizing again and again, and then called for someone to come, brought a pot of good Yunwu tea, and filled it herself.
"This is the new Yunwu tea that arrived yesterday. You two have a try. If you still like it, I will ask someone to pack some and take it back later."
She kept her posture very low, and saw that the person's face softened slightly, so she clapped her hands again.
Soon, several clean-looking young men filed in.
"To express my apology, why don't you two choose a person you like and take him back as an escort?"
Jiao Niang waved her hand very generously: "We, Hua Fang, will bear all the money they earned from selling their bodies. How do you two think this works?"
Song Yao:......
Jiang Anning:......
The two of them looked at each other, somewhat at a loss of ideas.
They just came here to see what was new, but they had no interest in keeping noodles at home.
Besides, what are their identities?
How can ordinary people, who are no longer ordinary people, be able to maintain their reputation?
I don’t dare to raise it either!
Jiang Anning glanced at Wan Niang without revealing anything, and saw that she also had a frown on her face.
"We accept the boss's apology. This... escort is not necessary. It is really not a blessing."
As soon as Jiang Anning said her words of rejection, Song Yao hurriedly echoed loudly: "Yes, no, no blessing to accept it!"
But it scared her.
I was curious for a while, had a fresh idea, and had a sudden idea... I went out to visit a brothel, and ended up bringing back two young slaves. What kind of words!
Jiao Niang obviously didn't want to give up. .
"You two don't have to be polite to me. If you don't accept this person as our distinguished guests, I will feel really uneasy."
Jiao Niang's tone sounded soft, but her attitude was actually tough.
Song Yao frowned slightly and looked at Jiang Anning. He always felt that the owner of the painting boat was acting strangely.
He talks about apologizing and making amends, but in reality his attitude is tough.
“Boss, you’re very polite, but it’s just a trivial matter. How can it be worth such a huge effort?”
Song Yao declined again.
"Are you two distinguished guests worried that the people in my boat are not clean?"
Jiao Niang seemed to have not heard the polite refusal in the words, and said to herself: "You two can rest assured, I just bought this boat not long ago, and today is also the first day it opens."
"These lovely people haven't even opened their doors yet."
"You two distinguished guests can enjoy it with confidence."
[Why does Zhao Hai's good friend seem to want to give two male pets back to him? 】
[Could it be that you want to take revenge on me, An Ning, the female goose? 】
Jiang Anning raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at Jiao Niang, and said with a smile: "Since it is an apology, how can a cow not drink water and force its head to be pressed?"
"The boss has good intentions, but this guy... we really can't have him."
"If the boss insists on compensating us with something to feel at ease, I think it would be better to give us some mundane things."
Just as Jiao Niang was about to say something else, Jiang Anning walked over and held her hand affectionately: "Otherwise, after a few days, this new person will look stale, and those who are disgusted with each other will become... Just complaining?”
"I feel like I'm in love with my boss when I look at him. From now on, I still want to hang out with you. What if I feel resentful and only cause trouble because of such a thing?"
Jiao Niang's voice choked, and her brain suddenly became difficult to function.
"That's exactly what you said."
The late wife spoke up at the right time: "My dear lady, it's really not me who is talking about you."
Her tone was helpless, as if she really didn't know what to say.
"What kind of good family would ask for a lowly status and lower their family status?"
"It's the young and old men who spent a lot of money and clamored to marry some courtesan. In the end, didn't they just build a house outside and put people in it, so that it would be fresher for a while?"
< br>
"I really don't know whether you are apologizing or trying to make someone angry."
“Isn’t this bringing bad luck to others?”
"It's a good thing that both guests are good-tempered. Otherwise, if someone else comes here, I'm afraid they will fall out with you."
Coming from Wan Niang's mouth, these words seemed much more reasonable.
After all, when the late wife wanted to redeem herself, many people were afraid to avoid her, which really hurt her heart.
Jiao Niang did not suspect anything, and said with a smile: "I didn't think carefully."
She waved her hand and chased away the waiters who were waiting to be selected. She forced a smile and said, "I can't apologize to two more guests."
Jiang Anning made a show of asking for two boxes of flower notes as compensation.
Song Yao also asked for two pounds of fried melon seeds.
With a wave of her hand, Jiao Niang gave away the chef in the kitchen who was responsible for frying melon seeds.
Jiang Anning:......
It seems that [Barrage] is right, this girl is indeed very strange.
They are quite determined to not give up until someone goes back with them.
Just when the master frying melon seeds came in to pay homage to the new owner.
[I just said that there is something fishy about Zhao Hai’s good looks! 】
[Isn’t this Wang Shang? Why haven't we seen each other for a few days, and I have changed from a doctor to a master of speculating on seeds and nuts? 】
Wang Shang?
Jiang Anning couldn't help but cast her eyes on the face of the sesame seed roaster and looked at it for a moment.
He has a beard, a round face, and a thick double chin. He looks very bloated.
It can be said that there is no similarity with Wang Shang in my impression.
Is this person Wang Shang?
Yes, that man is really good at changing his face.
Jiang Anning remembered a previous incident, and her doubts about the [Barrage] almost disappeared.
However, it is rumored that there is a method of disguise that can change a person's face, which will have no resemblance to the previous face.
But how did the body shape change?
Even if this person gains weight, he won't become so fat in just a few days that he looks like a different person, right?
Not to mention, this seed roaster looks much shorter than Wang Shang.
Moreover, what does this man intend to do by going to such great lengths to change his appearance and get closer to him?
