Chapter 251: Money to get things done



"Let's go to the shop!"

Laba saw that she looked unhappy, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"It should be comfortable, but it's a bit stuffy."

When they arrived at the shop, Master Qing talked to her about some business on the second floor, and then mentioned Aunt Xiuyun.

"To be honest, this aunt is really a bit like my old friend. I mentioned to you before that my family suffered a great disaster. As far as I know, only my nephew and I are left. But I have five older sisters, and those who are not married are all gone. I don't know how much the married ones have been implicated... I was thinking, what if there are descendants? I want to confirm every possibility. So, I would like to ask you to inquire about this aunt when it is convenient for you, what do you think..."

"That's easy! When I first saw her, I was also fascinated by her charm. At that time, I even thought that she looked a bit like you. I'll make arrangements when I get back."

"It's not that urgent. She's a relative of your great-grandmother-in-law and a concubine of your father-in-law. Madam Qi might also have some grudges against you. It wouldn't be good if she knew you were snooping around. Don't make others uncomfortable."

"Don't worry, I know my limits!"

"I believe it!" Master Qing smiled.

"Ayu!" Yan Zhu came.

"Ayu, do you know? That day, we sent Master Qing back..." She recounted the entire experience of going to the dim sum shop.

"At least ten kinds of snacks there were learned from us! I packed several kinds back..." Yan Zhu shook her head with some disdain: "Their snacks are not delicious. But they are cheaper than ours! This is annoying! Then, guess who did Gu Yue see in the store?"

Although she was asking, she didn't intend to let Wen Yu answer, and continued: "Last time you came, you came to our store to look for a job as a cook. She used to work in that store! She has worked there for many years and is still a manager! Think about it, she is not a good manager, but she came to our store to be a cook?! What is she doing?"

Yan Zhu was mysterious and excited.

Wen Yu cooperated: "She wants to steal skills!"

"Yes! Ayu, you are so smart! Besides, there is one more thing you don't know!"

"besides?"

"Yeah! Guess who owns that store?"

"You don't know? Tell me now!"

"Madam Yuan! She is the Wen Xianggui who stole a lot of snacks when we visited Cui's family last time and caused everyone's dissatisfaction!"

"I remember... it was her?"

Yan Zhu nodded desperately, with a devilish smile on her face: "She is still the daughter of that Lord Wen! She is a stepdaughter, no, an adopted daughter? No... she is a daughter of a burden!" After she finished speaking, she laughed! Wen Yu also laughed, "Looking at her behavior, she really doesn't deserve a father like Lord Wen."

"Yes! But Gu Yue said that Lord Wen might know about this. But I don't think so!"

"Of course not! I guess Lord Wen won't even admit that he has this daughter."

"Haha! When he comes, I'll ask him if he has a daughter and see what he says!" Yan Zhu's eyes swung...

Wen Yu also laughed out loud, and the slight gloom in her heart just now disappeared without a trace.

"... Ah Yu, don't tell me, Gu Yue found out everything in just half a day. I think he's even better than Mu Bo! Next time you have something to do, you can ask him to do it!"

Wen Yu walked around for a while and then went home.

Mu Bo brought Zhang Yuan into the store.

Wen Yu told him to check on Qi Yue, and he found that Qi Yue was always accompanied by two skilled guards! Moreover, they often went to some strange places, which was really inconvenient to follow. So, he looked at Zhang Yuan in front of him and laughed in his heart.

However, Mu Bo was not very good at making small talk, and he didn't know what to say. So he decided to have dinner together to get closer to him.

Most of Mu Bo's money was stored with Mu Ling, but he still had a lot in his hands... He thought it was a lot.

Because he couldn't spend money on weekdays, he was actually afraid of being poor and couldn't bear to spend money. When he was working outside, he would never spend money outside if he could go home hungry. Even if Qi Wu gave him some money for food and shoes, he wouldn't spend it!

He told Zhang Yuan: The big pot meals here are not tasty! Please go out and have a meal!

Zhang Yuan is very happy...

So, the two of them ate meat pies and noodles in the streets and alleys of Beijing several times. Mu Bo's spending power was limited. Sometimes Zhang Yuan even competed with him to pay the bill. After a long time of trouble, the other party didn't owe him a favor, but he still didn't know how to ask.

Finally, he made up his mind: treat him to a good meal! But he couldn't afford it himself, so he went in and asked Wen Yu if he could have a meal in the store. He needed to "do something".

Wen Yu agreed without thinking.

Zhang Yuan was also eating at such a shop for the first time... He couldn't help but feel a little nervous. "Mu Bo, we have to pay for the food ourselves!? Isn't this place too expensive? Let's go eat the lamb leg..."

"I'll tell you something in secret. This is our fifth grandmother's restaurant. My sister..."

"Brother!" Mu Ling came before he finished speaking.

The little girl with yellow hair and malnutrition has now become a young lady with clear eyes and rosy skin. Although her clothes are plain in color, the material is unusual. Moreover, she has delicate features and a slim figure...

Zhang Yuan's face turned red and he quickly stood up.

Mu Bo: "Brother, it's my sister Mu Ling. Sister, you can call me Zhang Erge!"

"Second Brother Zhang!" Mu Ling was very generous.

Zhang Yuan uttered a few grunting sounds.

"Brother and your second brother Zhang are coming to have a meal. You decide on some good dishes to serve!"

"Okay! But you can't drink!"

"No, no, no. We might have something else to do later!"

Mu Ling went to make arrangements. Zhang Yuan sat down and said enviously, "How can you still eat in the restaurant?"

"How can that be? I did something and grandma agreed to it because she was happy. On weekdays, I can only come by to eat a bowl of noodles or buns, but I can't eat here!"

Mu Bo talked a lot.

"That bun is really delicious. It's great for you brothers and sisters to work with Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu. It's down-to-earth!"

"We are the only ones at home. Fortunately, we met Master Wu and his wife. Otherwise, my sister and I would not know how to do anything and might even starve!"

Zhang Yuan didn't know what Mu Bo did. "But I think you are quite capable! And Master Wu trusts you very much! Are you his bodyguard?"

"Not really! Fifth Master has his own guards, given by the Cui family! I've only been with him for a little over a year! I just do some chores, sometimes helping Fifth Master, sometimes doing it for Fifth Grandma."

"oh."

"Zhang Yuan, I see you have quite a lot of free time!"

Zhang Yuan sighed, "You know my father, right? He is the accountant of the mansion. My mother is gone. When I came back this time, I said I wanted to stay in the capital and not follow the Third Master, but my father scolded me!"

"It would be nice to keep him to take care of your father. Why doesn't he agree?"

"My grandfather was the Marquis's bodyguard. One year, the Marquis was injured and my grandfather died. The mansion treated my father well, and he insisted on being stubborn. He felt that he was sick and couldn't be the eldest master's bodyguard, which was a pity! He also believed that he should be happy to do whatever the Marquis asked him to do. But he didn't know that the Third Master..."

Zhang Yuan had a sad look on his face. He sighed and said nothing.

Mu Bo opened his mouth, not knowing how to ask!

Mu Ling brought a pot of tea and said, "Brother, Second Brother Zhang, have some tea first!"

"Thank you, sister!" Zhang Yuan's face turned red again.

The waiter brought a few side dishes, the color and aroma made the two of them salivate...

"Mu Bo, why are you here?" A pleasant voice came. It turned out that Yan Zhu had arrived, followed by Gu Yue.

Mu Bo quickly stood up and said, "Miss Zhuzhu, I brought a brother to dinner!"

"The one who brought us here to eat must be a good brother!" Yan Zhu was overjoyed. She knew the prices of the dishes in the restaurant...

Mu Bo and Mu Ling also smiled foolishly. Zhang Yuan didn't dare to look at her: "How can this Miss Zhuzhu be so beautiful?!"

Yan Zhu said, "I made pig's trotters with fermented bean curd today, and I just asked Ayu to take a box away. Lingling, bring the rest to them! I guess Master Wen won't be here today."

"Who said I won't come?!" Lord Wen came here after smelling the scent...
