Chapter 288 There must be something strange

Erbao looked very happy, and Dabao also pursed his lips slightly.

Master He said to Dabao, "Before the New Year, I assigned you a few essays. Have you finished them all?"

Dabao replied in a clear voice, "It's done."

Mr. He was satisfied and said, "Okay, show it to me."

This had nothing to do with Jiang Lianzhu and the others, so Jiang Lianzhu stopped disturbing the teacher and took Erbao, Nanbao and the others out.

After leaving the teacher’s study, Erbao went to the character-shaped class.

Jiang Lianzhu took her daughter home.

Along the way, Nanbao looked at the students passing by and she refused to let Jiang Lianzhu hold her.

"Mom, I will be a schoolgirl in the future. I'm already a big kid. You don't need to hold me anymore. I can walk by myself." He said seriously.

Her small chest was held high.

Jiang Lianzhu found it funny. "Okay, I won't hold you anymore. Just go on your own."

She was hoping for some relief, not knowing how heavy-handed this little guy was!

The bigger it gets, the better it looks, and the heavier it becomes.

The girl was carrying her schoolbag, walking like a little adult, with her hands behind her back, as properly as possible.

After leaving Zhishu Academy, the two of them followed Xue San and walked slowly towards home. When passing by Lin's Pastry Shop, Jiang Lianzhu discovered that a new store had opened next to them and seemed to be under renovation.

Shopkeeper Lin came out and greeted Jiang Lianzhu, "Nanbao, Doctor Jiang, where have you been? If you have time and pass by us... would you like to come in and sit down?"

Nanbao said proudly, "Grandpa Lin, let's go send my brother to school. Tomorrow I can go to school too!"

Shopkeeper Lin exclaimed, "Really? Our daughter can go to school now. Congratulations."

Nanbao immediately stood straighter, with an uncontrollable smile on her face.

Jiang Lianzhu asked, "I remember there used to be a shoe store next to your place. Why did it change owners?"

Shopkeeper Lin glanced over there. "It's a shoe store, but business wasn't good, so the owner sold it. Now it seems he's planning to open a fish and shrimp shop or something. He's got a lot of wooden barrels and basins filled with water, full of fish, shrimp, crabs, and lots of other rare things. It should be opening soon. I think the owner's last name is Mao. He's said to be a water transport business in Shamen County..."

"It's really fast." Jiang Lianzhu said.

Uncle Mao said yesterday that he wanted to open a store and started decorating it today. He was very decisive.

Or rather, they were well prepared.

I asked her yesterday, just out of courtesy, just to make small talk.

"Why? Does Doctor Jiang know him?"

Jiang Lianzhu smiled, "Yeah, just a chance encounter."

After the small talk, Jiang Lianzhu was about to take her daughter back home. Shopkeeper Lin lowered his voice and said, "I've also heard about what happened to our young master yesterday. I hope Doctor Jiang will forgive me and not take it to heart. He's just a bad-tempered person who doesn't know how to get along with others."

Jiang Lianzhu smiled, "No."

Doctors are kind-hearted, so how could they possibly argue with patients about such trivial matters?

Besides, this is not an ordinary patient, this is a patient with a gold mine BUFF. No matter what, who would complain about having too much money?

***

Inside the heavily guarded Baihua Tower.

The building is surrounded by many traps and high walls.

The man with the petal mask lived on the rooftop, feeding the pigeons. There were groups of pigeons cooing and eating happily, while others took off after eating their fill.

The masked man can train pigeons and speak pigeon language. Occasionally, he will communicate with two pigeons, and the pigeons will fly to his shoulders.

The face beneath the mask would reveal a rare knowing smile.

At this time, a waiter came up from downstairs with a letter, "Master, there's news from Shamen County."

"Speak." The masked man didn't want to look at the letter. This waiter was his confidant and had followed him for many years. He trusted him.

The waiter said, "There's still no news of the two assassins, Catwoman and Dogman, who were hired by the Anbu. I'm afraid they're in grave danger. We've sent spies several times, but they haven't found their bodies. However, the Eagle Division has found some useful information."

In Baihua Tower, the Anbu is responsible for assassination, and the Eagle Department is responsible for tracking.

"Um?"

"The Eagle Division found out that Catwoman had once investigated the whereabouts of a brothel woman named Li Niang, and had visited a brothel in Shamen County. And the feedback from Shili Town was that a woman named Li Niang had gone to find a man named Wang Laowu in Shili Town and eloped with him..."

The masked man said in a cold voice, "What kind of person is this bachelor?"

"A local villager, who used to be a bodyguard, had an affair with Li Niang, a prostitute. Locals say he was a heartless man who abandoned his wife and children to elope with Li Niang."

The masked man was very perceptive. "Catwoman is good at disguise. If this Li Niang is her disguise, then this Wang Lao Ba should be investigated carefully! Catwoman and Dogman are a loving assassin couple in the underworld. It's impossible for her to elope with this Wang Lao Ba. There must be something fishy going on."

The waiter said, "The Chief of the Eagle Department has personally gone to Shili Town to investigate this matter. Master, don't worry. He should have news back soon."

The masked man said quickly, "Okay!"

All the pigeon food in his hand was spilled out, and the flock of pigeons sensed the murderous intent and flew away in fright.

***

Dabao and Erbao came back from school in the evening and brought back good news.

The teacher told them that their daughter was admitted to Zhishu School.

Let Nanbao go to school with Erbao tomorrow.

Zhishu School also officially posted a notice at the door to recruit girls under the age of seven, and everyone was talking about it.

Only wealthy families could afford to send their girls to school. Ordinary families could not even afford to send their boys to school.

There are few wealthy families, but that doesn't mean there aren't any. Nanbao has set a precedent, and there will definitely be more girls sent to school in the future.

Jiang Lianzhu was so happy that she prepared a seafood feast for everyone.

Stir-fried clams, garlic prawns, seafood stew, steamed sea bass, steamed crabs, fresh fish and tofu soup...

Everyone enjoyed the meal.

While eating, Nanbao was concentrating on dealing with a big crab weighing about 70 or 80 grams, which was plump.

Nanbao ate with great satisfaction, "Dad taught me how to eat crabs before... No, Mom taught me."

Halfway through speaking, he immediately changed his words.

Liao Jiu is now being unanimously hated by several children.

Daddy what? Big liar! Big bad guy!

The little fat boy didn't think too much about it and continued Nanbao, "Yes, yes, that bachelor knows how to eat crabs. It's a pity that we gave it to him for nothing. If we had known that he was such an ungrateful villain, we shouldn't have given him any..."

As he spoke, he felt that the atmosphere was not right and Erbao was glaring at him.

He immediately changed his tone, "Today's crabs are even more delicious, Aunt Jiang, your cooking skills are getting better and better, better than our chef. Mmm, it's really delicious, so delicious..."

Jiang Lianzhu pretended not to hear anything and said, "If it tastes good, eat more. It's all from your family, so eat as much as you want."
