But now that Zhou Shao has arrived, the two of them have started playing hide-and-seek.
There was nothing Zhou Shao could do; every time he saw them, he would scold them.
Especially this time, because on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Shu and the other two secretly followed Zhou Zifang to Baiyang, Zhou Shao disliked them intensely.
"The boss is here?" Qiu Yan realized that Zhou Shao had arrived.
Qin Wu said, "Yes, the master said he wanted to take you to Shangjin City with him."
Qin Wu didn't say the last sentence, but Zhou Shao felt that his son was in unrequited love, so he thought that if Qiu Yan went to Shangjin, his son might go there too.
Zhou Shao didn't think Qiu Yan was that capable. After all, he managed several Xingyue branches and had plenty of talented people under his command.
His other branches also continue to do food delivery business, but for some reason, no matter what he does, it's the same as before.
Those who order takeout are still the same high-ranking officials, wealthy merchants, and powerful figures as before; there has been no improvement.
He found it strange, since the procedures were exactly the same.
Now he discovered that Xingyuelou's business spanned all levels of society.
They do it regardless of whether they are rich or poor.
Zhou Shao looked down on the ten-cent meal box.
Qiu Yan: "I have something to do right now and I can't leave."
It will be at least a month from now.
Since arriving in this other world, Qiu Yan has never been to the Imperial City of Shangjin, so naturally she has to go and take a look.
However, she needs to visit her aunt first, and then go to Huaiyuan with her aunt.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Qiu Yan and Lin Shu went upstairs.
On the second floor, Song Jiao saw Qiu Yan coming to find her. After finishing her song, she put down her pipa and greeted her with a gentle smile: "Miss, you've come."
Qiu Yan nodded with a smile: "Song Jiao, has Ling'er's skill improved recently?"
"The second daughter is studious by nature. She plays the seven-stringed zither very well, and has also made great progress in Go, calligraphy and painting."
Qiu Yan was very satisfied after hearing this.
He glanced at the sky; it was nearly dusk.
"Your brother usually comes to eat around this time, why isn't he here today?"
"My brother...maybe something's wrong." Song Jiao was a little puzzled as to why Qiu Yan would suddenly ask about her brother today.
Although she didn't know why, she could tell that Qiu Yan didn't like her brother.
Why would you ask this question now?
Could it be that she suspected her brother's identity because of what the nightingale said?
Thinking of Hu Ying's incoherent ramblings back then, she felt a sudden surge of tension.
Tang Yi is currently focused on searching for spies from Northern Qi. Given his brother's health, if he were imprisoned because of Hu Ying's false statements, he wouldn't be able to withstand severe interrogation.
“Young lady, my brother and I are both pitiful people who have been played by fate. My only relative is my brother. Please don’t misunderstand him.”
Qiu Yan nodded, "I'm just an ordinary businessman. As for catching spies, that's for Lord Tang to handle."
Seeing that Qiu Yan didn't press the matter, Song Jiao felt a little relieved.
Qiu Yan moved downstairs and left Xingyue Tower.
Then, she took Liu Qi directly to the former Shuangxi Tower, which was that teahouse.
As luck would have it, Qin Feng was at that moment drinking tea alone in a corner of the teahouse.
Qiu Yan looked at Liu Qi, "Look, is your Fourth Prince in this teahouse?"
Liu Qi turned to look, then shook his head, "No."
"Are you sure?" Qiu Yan asked doubtfully, then asked again, "Have you ever seen the Fourth Prince's true face?"
Liu Qi nodded, "Of course I've seen it."
