Chapter 123: Old plaque, new shop, ready for opening



While he was repeating this to himself, Miss Jun was already shaking her head with a smile.

"Thank you, but no, there's nothing to prepare," she said.

This is just a polite remark, Ning Yunzhao smiled.

Someone ran out of the inn and called out "Miss" and then "Eh".

"Mr. Ning Shi, you are here again?" Liu'er said.

Ning Yunzhao smiled.

"I just happened to pass by and saw him." He smiled frankly.

Liu'er glanced at him.

"That's a coincidence," she drawled.

"Yes, what a coincidence." Ning Yunzhao said, smiled at Miss Jun and raised his hand, "I'll take my leave first."

Miss Jun nodded in return.

"Oh, by the way, I live in the Imperial College in the south of the city. If you need anything, just go there and find me. Just tell the doorman you're looking for me." Ning Yunzhao added.

Of course he couldn't just go in there casually, but he would specifically tell the doorman to tell him if a lady named Jun came.

Miss Jun bowed again.

"Okay," she said.

She had no hesitation at all, but was straightforward and frank.

Ning Yunzhao smiled, turned around and strode into the city. He walked cleanly and briskly, and disappeared in the crowd in a blink of an eye.

"What do we want to see him for?" Liu Er pouted and said, "Fake enthusiasm."

"It's a good intention. Even if you don't need it, you can appreciate it." Miss Jun said with a smile.

"You're being nice now? What were you doing earlier?" Liu'er said, looking at the street, and suddenly thought of something, "Miss, is he pestering you?"

Entangled?

Is it the same way Jun Zhenzhen entangles with the Ning family?

This young man has elegant manners and is polite and well-mannered. Although his words are sometimes incomprehensible, they are actually quite frank.

Miss Jun shook her head.

"Why is he pestering me?" She laughed, "What a coincidence. He said he was passing by on his way to his uncle's house..."

She stopped here, looking a little puzzled.

"What's wrong, Miss?" Liu'er asked hurriedly.

"Nothing." Miss Jun said.

She just wondered how someone happened to pass by her on his way from Deyue Tower to Ning Yan's home.

Deyue Tower is at the South City Gate, and Ning Yan's residence is the official residence in Chongrenfang. Even if she is not so familiar with the capital, she knows that the two places are on the same line. How could she go around the North City Gate?

Maybe there's something else.

"What a coincidence." She smiled at Liu'er and said again.

While the master and servant were talking here, four or five people came over.

"Miss Jun." They saluted respectfully. "The young master's things have been delivered."

"What did the young master give us again?" Liu'er asked. "There's so much in the capital, are you reluctant to let us buy it?"

Miss Jun patted her head.

"Get your things and let's go," she said.

Deshengchang Bank was not far from here. When the shopkeeper saw Miss Jun walk in, he bowed respectfully.

"Miss Jun, please come this way. The things sent by the young master are in the backyard." said the shopkeeper as he led the way.

The carriage in the backyard had not been unloaded yet, pulling a long wooden box that was tightly packed.

"What's this time?" Liu'er said, turning around. She waved her hands, "Open it, open it."

Several servants looked at Miss Jun. Miss Jun nodded, and everyone stepped forward and carefully opened the wooden box, peeling off the thick layer of cloth, revealing a plaque.

The three characters of "Jiulingtang" that had been newly painted shone brightly in the sunlight.

Liu Er screamed.

"Jiulingtang." She read. "This is the plaque of our Jiulingtang. It was delivered so quickly."

This is the plaque in Runan.

"Miss, please put the plaque here first. Send it over there after the yard over there is cleaned up." said the shopkeeper.

Yes, the Jiulingtang, which was to be opened in five days, had not yet been cleaned up. This was a spur-of-the-moment idea after arriving in Beijing, and she had not yet told the Fang family.

This kid is so smart that he actually sent this. Or perhaps the speed at which the ticket number transmits information is so amazing.

Miss Jun was also a little surprised.

"A letter from the young master." A waiter held out a bamboo tube.

This was certainly not a letter delivered by swift horseback.

Miss Jun took it and opened it.

The paper is short and the words are few.

"The plaque is of great value, and I carry it with me all my life."

Miss Jun pursed her lips and smiled.

When she first lived in Runan, her house was demolished, and she carried the plaque with her back every day. She once said, "The plaque is so precious that one should never leave it behind even at the age of ninety."

It turned out that it was not the news about the banknote exchange that was so shocking, but Fang Chengyu had anticipated her inner thoughts that she had not expected.

I had been wanting to come to the capital so much that I refused to say it out loud, and now I was finally there. As expected, I was not satisfied just by taking a look, but I couldn't bear to leave.

Even if it's not the right time to stay.

He has no manpower and no fame, but he has money. However, this money is also a trouble that can sink at any time and he cannot even protect it.

but…

Miss Jun stroked the three words "Jiulingtang" with her hand.

Even though she didn't have the manpower and fame, at least she still had herself and the skills taught by her master.

Master often likes to say, if there is no other way, just give it a try.

There is no other way now, so let's give it a try.

"Ms. Jun, are we really going to open on the 28th?" the shopkeeper asked hesitantly.

Miss Jun looked at him.

"What? No way?" she asked.

The shopkeeper shook his head.

"No, I'm afraid we're not well prepared and we're in a hurry," he said.

Miss Jun smiled.

"Money can buy anything," she said with a smile.

This little girl is really domineering.

It is said that she cured the young master's illness. For her, the old lady took out the imperial edict bestowed by the late emperor that she had hidden for twenty years.

The shopkeeper was more respectful.

"Of course, those decorations are all fine. What I mean is that we don't have enough time to invite colleagues and famous people from the capital on the opening day." He said, without any perfunctory response, "Miss, you also know that for those people, money may not be useful."

Miss Jun patted the plaque and indicated that it should be covered.

“No need,” she said. “Forget about these people. Even if there is no medicine cabinet, all you need to do is clean up the house, put up the clinic table, and hang up my plaque, and you can open the business.”

How can we open the business so quietly?

Although Miss Jun is very famous in the Fang family and in Runan, this is now in the capital, where talented people from all over the world come here in large numbers and various famous doctors are everywhere.

If you don't make a big fuss to get to know people, you won't even have a chance to surprise people.

You can't use an imperial edict to force others to see a doctor.

"Miss Jun, it's not easy to live in the capital." The shopkeeper said sincerely.

Miss Jun nodded.

"Yes, nothing is easy." She looked at the plaque that had been built with some emotion, and walked out, "Let's go."

Liu'er responded by quickly following.

Leaving just like that? The shopkeeper shook his head and smiled. Young man, he hurried after him and respectfully saw him off.

On a hot summer afternoon, the dark green banana leaves by the window brought a bit of brightness, and the middle-aged and young people playing chess by the window also looked a bit leisurely. The maids on both sides watched the game while fanning themselves.

Ning Yunzhao pondered for a moment, then picked up a piece and dropped it.

The middle-aged man opposite him who was wearing a Taoist robe and looked somewhat similar to him suddenly smiled.

"Lost." He said, "Yun Zhao, your chess skills are getting better and better."

A middle-aged woman came in from outside, followed by two maids holding trays, and smiled when she heard what was said.

"Yun Zhao has been an excellent chess player since he was young, but you are always unwilling to accept it." She said with a smile.

Ning Yunzhao stood up and called out "Auntie".

These two people are naturally Master Ning Yan and Madam Ning Er.

"Drink it and it will refresh you." Madam Ning gestured for him to sit down, and she personally brought a bowl to Ning Yan.

Ning Yunzhao took the spoon from the maid and picked it up easily without any restraint.

He had grown up with his uncle for most of his life, and felt more comfortable here than at home.

"…The gifts for June 28th are all ready. Would you like to take a look at them?"

The voice of Madam Ning II reached his ears, and Ning Yunzhao bit the spoon in his mouth.

June 28th, congratulations?

"Uncle and aunt, did you also know that she is going to open a shop?" He asked in surprise, looking up.

Ning Yan and Madam Ning Er also looked at him in surprise.

"Why is it open?" asked Mrs. Ning Er.

Ning Yunzhao came to his senses and put down the spoon.

"No, I mean what gift should we prepare for June 28th?" he asked.

No way, is that what he meant? Madam Ning Er thought, but it is something that everyone knows not to ask what others deliberately avoid.

"The wedding of Princess Jiuli and Lu Qianhu." She said with a smile.

The wedding of Princess Jiuli and Lu Qianhu?

"Is it June 28th?" Ning Yunzhao asked.

"Yes." Madam Ning nodded and smiled, looking at Ning Yunzhao with a strange expression, "What's wrong?"

Ning Yunzhao said "oh" and shook his head.

"It's okay, it's okay." He lowered his head and continued to pick up the spoon.

It’s also June 28th, what a coincidence.

Jiuling Hall, Jiuling.

He suddenly became alert and saw the dense goose bumps on his arms exposed when his thin summer shirt slipped off.

The Nine-Year-Old Princess.

What a coincidence!
