Chapter 211 Wrong Room
How could such a small shop come with so many high-quality goods?
You know, rare things like opal, ice silk, emerald, etc. are difficult to buy even if you have money.
Yu Sha Pavilion and Cui Yu Xuan were able to obtain it because Qi Mei traveled all over the country in the past few years, met people outside the customs, and secretly obtained them from outside the customs.
Otherwise, where did Cuiyuxuan come from so many rare jade stones.
Xia Zihan smiled and said, "This can be regarded as a business method. Rare things are more valuable."
"I think if it gets expensive, we will become a thorn in some people's eyes." Qi Mei said.
"What, who wants to make plans in the shop?" Xia Zihan's face turned stern, and a sharp look came out of his eyes.
"Qi Lan saw a few people secretly monitoring our shop outside the shop a few days ago," Qi Mei said.
"I think it's better to send a few more guards to watch the night." Xia Zihan made a decision, "Put some valuable items in the warehouse after closing, just in case."
You know, the jewelry in that shop must be worth at least tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. If it is really lost, she will lose a lot.
Qi Mei nodded, "My slaves put things into the warehouse every day." She added, "It's just Master, this is not a long-term solution. Only a thief can be a thief for a thousand days, and there is no one who can guard against thieves for a thousand days. Look, do you have any?" Someone I know works in the Flying Tigers. If we say hello to the people in the Flying Tigers and ask them to look after our shop at night, then everything will be fine for us.”
That's right.
However, she doesn't seem to know anyone from the Flying Tigers.
"By the way, Master, why did you come to this slave today?" Qi Mei changed the subject again.
Xia Zihan took out six thousand taels of silver from the bottom of the jewelry box and gave it to her, "Buy me a two-story house nearby."
"Master, why are you buying a house?" Qi Mei was stunned and subconsciously thought, "You don't want to move out of the Chu family, do you?"
"What are you thinking about?" Xia Zihan rolled his eyes at her and said sadly, "It's for my father to live in. My father said he would move out with Aunt Zhang. After much thought, I didn't want my father to rent a house. I want to buy one for him since he lives in the same house.”
Qi Mei sighed, understanding.
She asked casually, "Is it bought in the master's name or in your name?"
"Of course it's in your name." Xia Zihan said without thinking.
With her father's name on it, wouldn't that house become the property of the Xia family?
She hated the Xia family, the Xu family, Mrs. Xia, and everyone in the Xia family. How could she give the house to the Xia family for nothing.
Even if it's a penny, she would rather put it under her feet than get the Xia family's advantage in vain.
"Okay, let's put it in your name. It's getting late. You should go back first. The house matter can be finalized as soon as possible, even if it costs more money." Xia Zihan waved his hand, indicating that Qi Mei could leave. .
Qi Mei took the money and resigned.
Not long after Qi Mei left, Chu Fei and Chu Lin came back.
Seeing that the two of them looked exhausted, Xia Zihan asked with concern, "You haven't eaten yet?"
"No, Master, this slave is very hungry." Chu Lin touched her belly, "I want to eat shredded chicken noodles with mushrooms."
Xia Zihan told Chu Hao to talk to Qingye in the small kitchen, and did not forget to tell him, "Make more and send two portions to Master Bai and Brother Bai."
Recently, Manager Lu has collected a lot of medicinal materials from the village at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain, and Old Man Bai and Bai Yuexi have been busy making medicinal pills.
Some time ago, Old Man Bai made a scar-removing medicine that was better than Jasper Cream, and the medicinal materials were not as valuable as those used to make Jasper Cream. But the old man was so happy that he stayed up late and made ten bottles in one go.
Of course, four bottles were stolen from her.
It's euphemistically called beauty and beauty, but she actually keeps it all.
Knowing that Old Man Bai would catch Bai Yuexi staying up late to make medicine these days, she would ask Qingye to make midnight snacks for them every night.
Chu Hao retreated.
Chu Kuan made a pot of tea and brought it in. There were also two plates of yesterday's leftover snacks on the tray, "Sister Chu Lin, Sister Chu Fei, please eat some to fill your stomach first. The noodles will be ready soon."
Chu Lin was thirsty and anxious. Without waiting for Chu Kuan to pour her tea, she picked up the teapot and poured a full cup, then drank it all.
Her burning throat was suddenly moisturized, and Chu Lin said happily, "Well, the tea made by Chu Kuang is getting better and better, and it's almost catching up with the tea made by Nuanyu."
Chu Kuan blushed with embarrassment and whispered, "Sister Chu Lin would tease me. My tea-making skills were all taught by sister Nuanyu. How can I match the tea brewed by sister Nuanyu."
Seeing that the three of them had something to say, Chu Kuang helped Xia Zihan and Chu Fei, and after Chu Lin poured the tea, she stepped back cognizantly.
Chu Lin then reported, "Master, Dai Yumin is not a good person."
Then she spent money to bribe Dai Yumin's personal maid, and reported everything she found out after investigation.
It turned out that the Dou family held a banquet for Young Master Dou to celebrate Young Master Dou's passing as a scholar, and Song Huai also received the invitation. Song Huai originally couldn't think of it.
Someone passed the exam but he didn't. He felt uncomfortable, jealous, envious, and heartbroken, and he didn't have the nerve to go to that kind of situation.
But he borrowed three hundred taels of silver from Master Dou just the day before to repay his debt, and received the invitation the next day. If he didn't go, he would feel bad, and he would be even more shameless in front of Master Dou in the future.
Song Huai thought about it over and over, but finally went.
At the wedding banquet, a group of classmates and friends toasted to Young Master Dou, calling him "Scholar Dou" one by one, and praising Young Master Dou as the first scholar and talented person from a noble family.
He was envious, jealous, ashamed, embarrassed, and had all sorts of complex emotions.
You must know that his talent and knowledge are much better than that of Young Master Dou. He is still the teacher's favorite disciple. But now, Young Master Dou has passed the examination as a scholar, and his name has fallen into the sun.
Seeing Young Master Dou smiling and triumphant, a sense of shame pinched his heart deeply.
He drank hard and by the time the wedding banquet was over, he was already drunk.
Shu Zhen helped him get into the carriage and said goodbye to the Dou family.
I don't know whether Song Huai has been plagued by bad luck recently, or what happened. Halfway through the carriage, the wheels of the carriage broke and he couldn't go any further.
Shu Zhen had no choice but to leave the coachman alone to repair the carriage, while he helped Song Huai to a nearby inn.
Shu Zhen asked for an upper room and placed Song Huai in the room.
After covering Song Huai with a blanket, Shu Zhen was so exhausted that he was sweating all over. Coupled with the hot weather, his clothes were soaked with sweat.
He went downstairs and asked the waiter for a bucket of warm water, scrubbed himself, washed his clothes, and gave the waiter a tael of silver to help him buy a pair of fine cotton clothes.
The money naturally belongs to Song Huai, he is Song Huai's personal servant, and most of Song Huai's money belongs to her.
After he got dressed, washed his clothes, and returned to his room, Shu Zhen realized that Song Huai was missing.
This frightened Shu Zhen. He broke into a cold sweat just after putting on the dry clothes. He hurriedly went up and down to find Song Huai and asked the waiter for help.
Finally, when he passed by the door of the guest room that was two rooms away from Song Huai's, he heard Song Huai's voice, and that was the end of the chaotic search.
Just as he was about to knock on the door and go in, he heard a woman's voice.
There was a woman inside, so it was difficult for Shu Zhen to go in, so she stayed outside the door.
Shu Zhen thought it was a peony and didn't think much about it.
However, he stayed outside the door all night. The next morning, when he was extremely exhausted and dozed off against the door, Song Huai walked out with a strange woman. Shu Zhen was sleeping in a daze. I suddenly woke up.
Staring at Dai Yumin, he was completely dumbfounded.
Speaking of this, Chu Lin took a sip and said with a look of contempt, "Master, you don't know that Dai Yumin has been trying to seduce Crown Prince Song since she met him at the Lantern Festival. Unfortunately, Crown Prince Song wanted to She has been in Han Xue University for the scientific examination and has not returned home. Even if she wanted to, she would not have a chance."
"After the scientific examination, Dai Yumin began to pay attention to Crown Prince Song again and sent people to monitor him. No, when he learned that he was drunk and still living in the inn, he hurried to plot against Crown Prince Song."
< br>
The next day, when Song Huai woke up, he found that Hong Guoguo was wearing no clothes and was hugging a strange woman.
Song Huai was so frightened that he sobered up.
Unfortunately, he was drunk and couldn't remember anything he did. Dai Yumin told him everything when he woke up later.
Dai Yumin told him that he went to the wrong room when he was drunk, entered her room, mistook her for another woman, and took away her innocence.
When Song Huai saw a bright blood flower blooming on the bed, he believed Dai Yumin's words, and he suddenly did not dare to accept that he had really taken away the body of a strange girl while drunk.
That day at Xinghua Tower, he was still thinking that he couldn't be like Lu Shizi, who was tricked into grabbing a woman on the street and having sex with her. However, within a few days, he himself encountered such a thing.
He should be lucky that he was drunk and not being tricked, and that he was in an inn, not a carriage on the street.
After all, there are few people in the inn who know.
But taking away a strange girl's innocence, Song Huai didn't know what to do.
He was upset and did not dare to go home, and Dai Yumin also pestered him. Finally, Song Huai took Dai Yumin to Sanyuan, and unfortunately met Xia Zihan.
"Haha, that's it." After hearing the whole story, Xia Zihan looked awkward, and then felt that it should be like this.
With the temperament of Dai Yumin and Song Huai, a hypocrite and a coquettish woman, this is how they got together.
She took a long breath and guessed with a sneer. He said, "It seems that Dai Yumin approached Song Huai because he wanted to take revenge on me."
"Master, I think it's better to publicize this matter. Then, Dai Yumin's reputation will be bad again." Chu Lin suggested enthusiastically, "It just so happens that today, this slave met a little beggar. He has a few pennies, and he will definitely do it beautifully.”
