Chapter 199
Still drinking?
Tian Bajiao felt that Mr. Zhou couldn't drink anymore.
It's quite lively here too.
But...Xing'er went to find Mr. Zhou Er?
How come she didn't see it all the way here? Did she take the wrong path?
Just as she was thinking about it, a little maid came over and announced happily: "Second Madam, Second Madam, the Second Master is back."
"So fast!" The coldness on Liu Suniang's face had not yet disappeared, but she subconsciously adjusted her hair with her hands. She took two steps forward, and when she reached the door, she snorted and said to Mr. Zhou Er,
"You still remembered to come back! Tell me, what did you do with my dad?! Are you discussing my funeral arrangements? Look at how drunk you are! I'm not even dead yet, and you're already so happy. You must have drunk quite a bit!"
She grabbed Mr. Zhou Er's ear and pulled him in with a sarcastic look.
The maids couldn't help but laugh.
Mr. Zhou Er was not particularly angry. He smiled and begged for mercy, "Madam, please be gentle. Be careful not to hurt your hands. If you really pull my ear off, it won't hurt. I'm afraid you'll be heartbroken and cry again, and that would be my fault."
This week, Mr. Zhou has a good appearance and a nice voice. When he says such words, it doesn't make people feel sick, but rather seems tender and affectionate.
Liu Suniang blushed: "Where did you learn to be so smooth-talking? You must be drunk. What are you standing there for..."
She said angrily, "Why don't you go make a bowl of hangover soup for the Second Master?"
"Why bother them? Let them all go to bed. It's late, and since I'm drunk, my wife and I should go to bed early."
He said that people were about to get close to her, and the two words "sleep" were practically spoken right next to Liu Suniang's ear.
In front of so many people, it was strange that Liu Suniang was not ashamed: "I'm going to die, Zhou Yulang, why are you so close?"
She raised her hand to push him, but Zhou Erye grabbed her hand and pressed it against his chest. He just smiled at her, not letting go and not saying a word.
The maids in the room had already tactfully left, and Xing'er even breathed a sigh of relief.
The only one who frowned was probably Tian Bajiao.
It’s not that she doesn’t like to watch it. If she has time, she can move her bedding to watch it for days and nights without getting tired of it.
The reason she frowned was... Zhou Ye had changed so much this week.
That day in the shop, he was eloquent and his words were full of hidden meanings.
I cried like a cucumber at my father-in-law's house.
It seemed as if he was afraid of Liu Suniang like a tiger and did not dare to go home, but this time when he came back, he seemed like a different person, very charming and dashing.
Liu Suniang was so overjoyed that she was dizzy and almost lost her way. She fell so quickly. If this was a war between two countries, she would have surrendered without even fighting or sending troops.
That confused feeling, it's not the wine that makes people drunk, but people themselves get drunk.
Mr. Zhou has such means, so why doesn't he even dare to go home?
Or does he just like to cry while hugging the old man's legs?
Tian Bajiao was just wondering what was going on when Zhou Erye, who was hugging Liu Suniang, suddenly raised his head and looked at Tian Bajiao with sharp eyes, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Tian Bajiao raised his hand and covered the tiles back, then ran away without hesitation, ran back to the store and started packing his luggage.
Maybe the noise was too loud and woke others up.
Boss Shen walked to the door in a daze, holding a lamp and asked her, "What are you doing?"
Tian Bajiao:?
"When did you come back?!"
She was really shocked.
Boss Shen said disapprovingly, "I've been back for a long time. But where have you been? It's not safe to go out alone in the middle of the night."
Tian Bajiao: ...Who am I doing this for?
"I went looking for you, where were you?"
"What do you want to see me for? I was just taking a walk, how could I get lost?"
Boss Shen was wearing his clothes and seemed to be extremely sleepy. He did not forget to ask her,
"What are you doing?"
Tian Bajiao opened his mouth and said, "I'm cold. I'll find two clothes to wear and then go find you."
"Hey, what's there to look for? I've been back for a long time. Go to sleep."
She said she was leaving.
Tian Bajiao quickly stopped her and asked, "Hey, hey, hey, don't go. Didn't you find out anything when you went to Zhou's house today?"
"No, I spent a long time with Madam Zhou preparing the calming incense. I didn't see Liu Suniang, but I heard she's fine. I'll ask about her later. You should go to bed early. We have business to do tomorrow, so it'll be late to open the store today."
She also complained.
Tian Bajiao thought to himself: If you don't meddle in other people's business, it won't be too late.
She watched Boss Shen walk out and the lights in her room go out.
Tian Bajiao hesitated for a long time holding the bag and finally put it back.
Stability is not easy, so cherish it while you are safe.
Mr. Zhou Er did not expose the matter on the spot, and the matter still had time to develop. Besides, it was dark and he might not be able to see clearly.
But... I haven't heard that he has this ability.
Tian Bajiao has heard people talk about Zhou Erye and Liu Suniang a lot these days. They all say that Zhou Erye is a gentle and elegant scholar, or a weak kind of scholar, and Liu Suniang... it's better not to say anything.
Judging from Zhou Erye's words and actions these days, Tian Bajiao doesn't think he is a secretive person.
Could it be a coincidence?
He was secretly rejoicing that he had escaped danger, and she happened to see him. In fact, he didn't even notice that there was someone peeping on the roof?
It’s not unreasonable to think so.
Tian Bajiao grabbed the quilt and went to sleep. The next day he got up as usual to cook, sweep the floor and wipe the counter.
The cleanup was almost done and Boss Shen got up.
Strangely enough, after dinner she seemed to have a change of heart and said, "Leave the dishes here, I'll wash them, you go and do your own thing."
"Okay!" Tian Bajiao was so happy that he opened the door happily.
The weather was pretty good, it was a sunny day, but with some clouds and wind, so it wasn't too sunny.
Tian Bajiao took the purse out and hung it on the rack outside. Boss Shen, who had finished washing the dishes, came to help.
Tian Bajiao: ...
"Boss, you're not going to Zhou's today?"
"Huh?" Boss Shen seemed a little distracted, and after a pause he said, "I'm not going. I won't see anyone anyway, so it doesn't matter whether I go or not."
"So what should we do about this?"
"Let's talk about it later. I'll think of another way."
She said casually.
This is really strange. She is the one who is anxious, and she is also the one who is not anxious. Could it be that something happened last night that made her change her mind?
Tian Bajiao thought for a moment, but didn't ask any questions. He hung up the purse and went back to the counter to wait.
Unexpectedly, after she stayed outside for a while, she chased in and said to her, "Bajiao, I think the idea you told me a while ago is good. Maybe it can really attract business. We can give it a try."
Tian Bajiao: "A while ago... Oh~ Are you talking about the idea of giving away eggs when you buy something?"
"Not only that, but also the things you mentioned about adding lacquer seals, hiring people to promote the brand, and changing the names of the spices—I think they're all great."
She leaned against the counter and said with a smile.
