Chapter 70 Trouble

As Shen Mingshu said, Zhang Xiulang went back to his room, tossing and turning without feeling sleepy, feeling quite bored.

Who would have thought that shopkeeper Liu was so useless and would be found out so quickly. Fortunately, he was not confessed. Zhang Xiulang was relieved but also a little dissatisfied. From now on, he would not be able to pay money from the cashier so easily.

This made Zhang Xiulang, who had already regarded Linlang Pavilion as his own, how could he accept it? He secretly hated him, and his previous thoughts about getting shopkeeper Liu out were changed again, so he might as well deal with it according to what Shen Qingjia said.

But thinking that shopkeeper Liu might still have some tricks in his hands, he hesitated again.

With so many thoughts, sleepiness was naturally hard to find, and Zhang Xiulang finally fell asleep unsteadily until late at night.

However, early in the morning, he received another piece of bad news from Wei's house.

"What did you say?" Zhang Xiulang raised his voice, slapped the fan on the table beside him, and asked with staring eyes.

The servant of the Wei family repeated tremblingly, "Feng Xin is back, it looks like he has gone to the Wei family, my young master asked me to ask Mr. Zhang's idea."

"It's unreasonable!" Zhang Xiulang slapped the table hard, and cursed: "You can't even deal with this kind of person, what do you do for work?"

The boy lowered his head, not daring to respond to Zhang Xiulang's words, Zhang Xiulang rubbed his forehead, originally this matter was nothing, but what happened to shopkeeper Liu yesterday happened to make him feel uneasy, and he had to look for bad luck.

Zhang Xiulang couldn't help but scolded the boy a few more words, the boy buried his head and endured it, he just wanted to wait for Zhang Xiulang to scold enough to find a topic to ask this guy's idea, otherwise he would have to suffer another scolding if he went back like this .

Zhang Xiulang was cursing when he heard that the servants outside reported that the young master was coming, he frowned, not knowing why Shen Qingjia was looking for him so early in the morning, he straightened his sleeves, and put away the dark clouded face After turning around, he saw the young boy from Wei Xuan's family standing there in a daze, and cursed in disgust, "What are you doing still in a daze, go inside and wait."

Seeing the servant bowing and walking quickly behind, Zhang Xiulang went out to meet Shen Qingjia with a faint smile.

Shen Qingjia was being led in by the maid, saw Zhang Xiulang, smiled slightly, and said: "I remembered that I wanted to pick a gift for Qingyue yesterday, but I haven't picked it yet, my cousin is always well-informed, so I wanted to ask my cousin about it." idea."

Zhang Xiulang let go of his heart and habitually wanted to shake the fan in his hand. Only then did he remember that he had just pulled it on the table in the hall, so he could only put his hand down and said with a smile: "It's not a difficult task, I heard that a few days ago There are a lot of sandalwood fans in the shop of the Chen family in the west of the city, which are worthy of a beauty like my cousin."

This opinion obviously won Shen Qingjia's heart, and he boasted with a smile: "My cousin still has an idea, thank you in advance, by the way..."

Zhang Xiulang raised his heart that had just been let go, and asked with a smile on his face, "But what else is there?"

Shen Qingjia turned her face sideways and called a boy who was following behind, and said in a gentle tone: "Exactly, I see that there are not many people around my cousin, and I have to be busy dealing with shopkeeper Liu for the family these few days. I just want to arrange for a smarter kid to work for you."

The boy simply saluted him, and he knew that he was clever at first glance, but Zhang Xiulang's heart sank, this man was clearly sent by Shen Qingjia to watch him, could it be that shopkeeper Liu suspected him of having sex with him?

Thinking of this in Zhang Xiulang's heart, his face couldn't help but change, he looked at Shen Qingjia's face carefully, but didn't see anything unusual.

Seeing that he hadn't answered, Shen Qingjia rolled her eyes, she seemed to have figured it out, and said with self-blame: "It's also because I thought it was too inappropriate, the cousin who came with me must be useful, and this boy just gave it to me like this." Cousin may not be easy to arrange, but it will spoil his business, so let's forget it..."

Shen Qingjia's words have reached this point, Zhang Xiulang has no room to refuse, maybe he just told Shen Qingjia that he conspired with shopkeeper Liu.

Zhang Xiulang quickly smiled and said: "What is Jiadi talking about? The person you arranged is naturally very useful. I have no reason to dislike it. It's just that I was out of focus just now. Thanks to Jiadi for his careful arrangement."

Only then did Shen Qingjia laugh again, and said, "It's good that my cousin doesn't blame me."

Zhang Xiulang forced a smile and said a few more words with him, sent him out of the courtyard, and when he turned around, he saw the servant Shen Qingjia had arranged for him with a friendly smile, "Master Biao, the younger one's name is Shen San, if you have something to do, don't worry." That's what I ordered."

Zhang Xiulang nodded, handed the person over to the maid behind him, and hurried back to the hall, his face darkened, and he threw the teacup on the table viciously on the ground, the half-cold tea was mixed with fine pieces of porcelain Splashing in all directions, the startled servant girl screamed, and was stunned by Zhang Xiulang's dark eyes, she quickly bowed to beg for mercy, and walked over on her knees to clean up the mess.

Zhang Xiulang sat back in the previous seat, but his mood was even worse. Originally, he was thinking of saving shopkeeper Liu by stealing money at that time, but if Shen Qingjia became suspicious, he had to reconsider.

He thought of the Wei family who were still waiting behind him, his eyes darkened, not to mention, if shopkeeper Liu was like that Feng Xin, and used this matter to blackmail him, there would be endless troubles.

Thinking about it this way, Zhang Xiulang felt even worse, and couldn't help feeling malicious. How about dealing with these people together so that future troubles can be avoided in one fell swoop. Since they are all useless people who bring trouble to him, it is better to clean them up early , can also dispel Shen Qingjia's suspicion.

Thinking this way, he called the Wei family boy over and gave some instructions in a low voice. The boy listened with his head bowed, and hurriedly bowed and retreated out.

Seeing the boy's back disappearing in front of the door, Zhang Xiulang let out a long breath, picked up the folding fan by the table, shook it slowly, and the expression on his face gradually eased.

Linlang Pavilion arrested a shopkeeper, this matter was not small, and somehow it was revealed, but the reason was covered up a bit, but Rong Min knew it very clearly.

Now that Zhang Xiulang's arm is broken, he spends a lot of money, and he probably doesn't have much money on hand now, and I'm afraid he will be stretched out in a few days, if he adds more fire, he will be in a hurry.

The corners of Rong Min's lips curled into an arc, and she smiled softly. Shen Qingyue, who was drawing a hairpin pattern by the table, looked up. Rong Min was always smiling inside, and no one could tell the difference, but Shen Qingyue had been with her since she was a child. Rong Min grew up together, and at a glance, you can see that Rong Min is planning some bad intentions, and I'm afraid someone will suffer.

Rong Min ordered someone to send the news, and noticed Shen Qingyue's gaze, she raised her eyes to look over, her eyes were gentle, her smile changed again, and she asked, "What's the matter? Has the painting been finished?"

Shen Qingyue put down the pen, rubbed her wrist, and said, "Not yet, but it will be soon."

Rong Min walked over and pulled her wrist, rubbed it lightly, lowered his eyes to look at it, and said with a smile: "This style is so pretty, Qing Jia must like it."

"Who said it was for him," Shen Qingyue snorted softly, and carefully moved the drawing aside to prevent it from being scratched.

With gentle palms, Rong Min held Shen Qingyue's wrists to relieve her soreness, and said with a soft smile: "It will be your birthday in a few days, Qing Jia has already told me that it is good to have a banquet at our house, I heard that he I also took great pains to prepare a gift for you."

Shen Qingyue hooked her lips, showing a bright smile, but said lightly, "What's the matter?"

Rong Min looked at her expression, there was a faint smile on the corner of his lips, and his eyes were gentle and tender.

When Shen Mingshu received the news, he was picking out snacks with Luo Xin, designing birthday gifts for Shen Qingyue and Shen Qingjia. Shen Li knocked lightly on the door and said in a low voice: "Miss, madam, what about the second lady?" A letter was sent from the side."

Shen Mingshu and Luo Xin looked up and heard that it was a letter sent by Shen Qingyue. Luo Xin raised her lips slightly and said with a smile, "Hurry up and bring it here."

Shen Li presented the letter with both hands, Shen Mingshu took it, opened the envelope, and took out the letter paper inside. Luo Xin's eyes were bright, and she sat on the side looking at Shen Mingshu expectantly, and asked, "Sister, what did Qingyue say?"

Shen Mingshu glanced at it briefly, and said with a smile: "Qingyue said that she has made an agreement with Qing Jia that this year's birthday will be held at the Rong Mansion, please come with us."

"That's great." Luo Xin raised her eyebrows, "The whole family can get together then."

"En." Shen Mingshu nodded, looked at the back of the letter, his eyes were slightly bright, the corners of his lips curled up, and he looked at Luo Xin, "Then we have to hurry up and prepare."

Luo Xin smiled and nodded, looking at the half-picked dim sum drawings on the table, Shen Mingshu waved Shen Li down, got up and put the letter into the box beside the bed, and then sat back beside Luo Xin.

Shen Mingshu didn't turn his eyes back to the dim sum blueprint, but turned his face to look at Luo Xin's focused side face. Luo Xin pursed her lips slightly, her dark and bright eyes stared at the blueprint in her hand, and when she saw a good one, her eyes lit up slightly, He looked at her with a joyful expression, clean and simple.

"Sister, what's the matter?" Luo Xin asked softly in doubt.

"It's okay, I just lost my mind for a while. The one you picked looks good. After painting, the color is bright. It must look good."

Shen Mingshu leaned over, leaned against Luo Xin's arm, looked at the blueprint in her hand, smiled and nodded, Luo Xin felt relieved, hearing that she liked this too, immediately became happy.

Shen Mingshu looked at the shallow dimples on her cheeks, and slowly raised the corners of her lips. Luo Xin's emotions were always revealed in front of her, straightforward and sincere, even a shallow smile could touch her Her emotions, at this moment, she just wanted to protect Luo Xin all the time, even after many years, she could still smile at her so happily.
