"The Yuexiang Tower is just ahead. Shall we go over and take a look?" Zhang Xuanxuan suddenly asked as he walked ahead.
"I've been back for several days, but I haven't visited Manager Wu yet. I'm sure he's nagging me again." Jian Xiu said with a smile.
She could even imagine how loving and excited Wu Mingtang, the shopkeeper, looked when he saw her.
Sure enough, when they were still a long distance away from Yuexiang Tower, they saw the waiter running in hurriedly.
As soon as I reached the door, I heard the waiter's shrill voice.
"Manager Wu, Manager Wu, hurry up, come out and see who's here."
"Look at you, you are still so reckless. What should I do if you offend the guests here?"
When Jian Xiu and Zhang Xuan went in, they heard Shopkeeper Wu's tone of disappointment.
"Manager Wu, I didn't expect that you are still so worried." Jian Xiu crossed her arms and looked at Wu Mingtang with a smile.
As soon as these words came out, Shopkeeper Wu quickly put down the abacus in his hand and rushed towards Jian Xiu without thinking.
Judging from his appearance, he is not much calmer than the waiter just now.
"Jian Xiu, Jian Xiu, you still remember me. I thought you had forgotten me a long time ago."
It was not until he walked up to Jian Xiu that Wu Mingtang spoke kindly.
As for Jian Xiu, Shopkeeper Wu has always treated her as a junior, and the two of them are more than just partners.
Relying on Jian Xiu, Shopkeeper Wu also made a lot of money. When the two of them worked together, he had already unknowingly regarded her as a relative.
When Shopkeeper Wu said this, he even nodded to Zhang Xuan beside him.
Although he was in Quanyong County, he always knew the situation around Jian Xiu.
A long time ago, when he saw Zhang Xuan for the first time, he felt that he was extraordinary and would make a name for himself in the future.
"Thank you, Manager Wu!" Zhang Xuan suddenly said.
His nonsensical words did not puzzle Manager Wu and his companions.
Apparently, Shopkeeper Wu knew exactly what he was thanking him for.
"You said thank you, then I have to thank Miss Jian. If it weren't for her, do you think my Yuexianglou business is so good? Is my Yuexianglou getting bigger and bigger?"
I know that there used to be several restaurants in Quanyong County.
But in just a few months, his Yuexiang Tower had clearly grown.
Up to now, most restaurants have closed down due to various problems, but his Yuexianglou's business is getting better and better.
All of this is inseparable from Jian Xiu's help.
"Okay, okay, stop thanking me and listen to me. Indeed, I should thank Shopkeeper Wu. Without your insight, how could I have sold those wild boars?"
“And those recipes…”
"Stop, stop, stop, Jian Xiu, if you keep talking like this, it will never end. Is there still a difference between us?" Wu Mingtang interrupted Jian Xiu quickly.
"Why did you care about us before? Yes, yes, it's mutually beneficial, isn't it a win-win situation? Now, as you want to say, if you win, I win too, if you make money, I make money too, isn't this the best of both worlds? Isn't it a win-win situation?"
As soon as Shopkeeper Wu said this, the three of them burst into laughter.
Even Zhang Xuan couldn't help laughing.
Now that they were here, according to their current status, they couldn't sit in the lobby. If they had a meal, they would definitely sit in the box.
Only after he sat down did Shopkeeper Wu know that three children were taking exams today.
"No wonder. I was wondering why the two nobles would think of me, an old man." Shopkeeper Wu suddenly became sarcastic again.
It’s no wonder that Manager Wu said that. It has been several days since the two of them returned to the village.
I just remembered to come and see him now, it would be strange if he wasn't angry.
When is he going to go to Zhangjia Village to see what this couple is busy with?
"Look at what you said. Isn't it because you have a lot of things to do at home?"
Seeing that Jian Xiu's tone was serious and didn't seem like she was telling a lie, Shopkeeper Wu quickly put down his chopsticks and asked worriedly:
"Hey, what happened here? You two don't look too well."
After hearing this, Jian Xiu told the whole story of Old Liu's death.
Including the matter of causing Zhang Hua to break off the relationship with Old Man Zhang.
Manager Wu actually knew a lot about the Zhang family's affairs.
Back then, when Jian Xiu and her family had just broken off their relationship and lived in that shabby little hut at the end of the village, Shopkeeper Wu was the first outsider to enter that room.
Until now, Jian Xiu still remembers his surprised expression when he saw the environment inside.
He never dreamed that the woman who talked so freely in front of him would be in such a miserable family!
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, they were living in a brick and tile house.
"There is such a thing. It's really unfilial." Shopkeeper Wu said with emotion.
At the same time, I am also glad that Jian Xiu and her family broke off their relationship with that family early on.
Otherwise, who knows what the situation would be like now?
After the meal, the three of them were very happy. Before leaving, Shopkeeper Wu packed a large basket full of food for them, just like he did before.
Looking at the plate full of food, Jian Xiu and Zhang Xuan were also helpless.
If we talk about the past, it was because they were poor and could not afford such food.
But now it is obviously different. According to their current status, they can eat such dishes anytime they want.
"You guys are full, but the kids are still not full. Don't they need to eat after the exam?" Shopkeeper Wu glared at the two of them and said.
Hearing this, Jian Xiu and Zhang Xuan did not stand by him.
But to their surprise, as soon as they walked out of Yuexiang Tower, they saw Zhang Yi walking towards them in a hurry.
Seeing how nervous he looked, Jian Xiu suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
"What's the matter?" Zhang Xuan asked in a deep voice.
He rarely saw Zhang Yi with this expression, and it was obvious that something was wrong this time.
"Master and Madam, there is a letter from the capital."
"Capital?" the couple asked in unison.
At the same time, they were very curious. They had just returned from the capital, so how come they suddenly received letters?
Taking the letter from Zhang Yi, Zhang Xuan opened it immediately.
Only when he saw the contents inside, his expression suddenly became solemn.
"Who wants to know?" Jian Xiu asked directly.
As for who "that" she was talking about, she didn't say it, but she believed that Zhang Xuan understood.
She nodded gently, "Indeed, it seems we should return to Beijing as soon as possible!"
The letter was sent to them by Chi Jinzhong. Obviously, he had not expected this situation even though he had been in the capital.
"Then those kids here..."
"We should go back to the village as soon as possible to explain what happened here. Then Third Sister-in-law can stay here. We will take Third Brother back to Beijing."
Jian Xiu nodded. Indeed, this was the best way at the moment.
..........................................................................
Zhangjia Village.
Wang Xiuying was surprised to see that only the couple came back.
"Why are you two the only ones back? Where's the child?"
I looked at the time, the exam doesn’t seem to be over so soon?
Looking at the faces of the two men, it was obvious that something had happened.
"Third sister-in-law, I don't have time to explain more to you. Where is Third Brother?" Zhang Xuan asked hurriedly.
In his opinion, the Queen Mother must have known that he and Jian Xiu had returned to Zhangjia Village, which was why she was so unscrupulous in trying to force the emperor to abdicate.
But he was wrong. Even if he came back, Jian Ming and the others were still there.
He should not underestimate the power he has left in the capital.
At the same time, Zhang Xuan was also curious. He didn't believe that the Queen Mother didn't know that he had left someone in the capital.
Could it be that Tai is somewhat sure?
It is understood that the most powerful force behind the Queen is the Queen.
And behind the queen is none other than the Anding Marquis Mansion.
But hasn't the Anding Marquis' Mansion been secretly controlled by the emperor?
Could it be that something happened to the emperor?
Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan immediately looked towards Jian Xiu.
But then he happened to see Jian Xiu looking over at him.
Obviously, what I thought of was what Jian Xiu had also thought of.
"There is no time to lose, we must set off immediately!" Zhang Xuan said.
