Chapter 362 Two people guess
Ye Mingzhu pursed her lips and smiled: "Is it Jian Pingping?"
"How do you know?" Wang Dahu's face was full of surprise: "Did you exchange letters?"
Ye Mingzhu shook her head: "I don't know many people in the capital. Since you asked this, the person must be someone I know, so I guessed it was Jian Pingping."
Wang Dahu nodded. "After you left, Jian Pingping came here to look for you and met Jiang Yue. I don't know how it happened, but they got along really well. Jian Pingping had quite a few prescriptions, and Jiang Yue was interested in business, so the two of them opened a shop together."
"I didn't expect that they both have such a talent for business." Ye Mingzhu sighed.
"It is said that their rouge is good and is developed from ancient recipes, but the two of them have never done business before. If it weren't for Manager Jiang, they might have caused some trouble." Wang Dahu said just two simple sentences.
Ye Mingzhu noticed that Wang Dahu was getting a little restless, so she stood up and said, "Uncle, I'm a little tired. I want to go back and rest for a while. Can I still stay in the same room as last time?"
Wang Dahu stood up with the help of a chair: "Yes, I have asked someone to call Chun Xing, let Chun Xing take care of you."
Ye Mingzhu knew Wang Dahu's temper and did not refuse: "Then I will go back and rest first."
Wang Dahu nodded, then hesitated. Seeing Ye Mingzhu's slightly puzzled expression, he asked, "Mingzhu, have you mentioned me to Lord Zheng?"
Ye Mingzhu didn't understand why he asked that.
"I used to work in the Zheng family's shop, and later went out to sea with them. I've met Master Zheng, but he doesn't seem like the kind of master who would give medicine to a servant who's been beaten. I always feel uneasy when I take the medicine he gave me."
Wang Dahu had been a slave for several years and knew that in the eyes of big shots, slaves were no more than ants and they didn't care about them at all.
Seeing that her uncle was really worried, Ye Mingzhu simply recounted the conversation she had with Lord Zheng on the boat.
"I guess Lord Zheng didn't know you were my uncle. He only found out after I asked him."
"I also helped Master Zheng with a small favor. Uncle, please don't worry about these trivial matters."
Wang Dahu wanted to ask what Ye Mingzhu had done to help, but looking at Ye Mingzhu's expression, he thought it was difficult to answer, so he didn't ask again.
He slowly walked out of the flower hall. Chun Xing was already waiting outside. Wang Dahu asked Chun Xing to take good care of Ye Mingzhu these days.
Chun Xing smiled and saluted Ye Mingzhu, then took her to the backyard to rest.
On the other side, after Ajiu sent Ye Mingzhu and the others there, he went to report to Lord Zheng.
Someone was reporting something to Lord Zheng. He waited a moment before stepping forward and said, "I've already sent them all over."
Lord Zheng nodded without asking any more questions. Ajiu then said that he had given Wang Dahu some medicine for his injuries, and Lord Zheng then looked up.
"Can you be the master now?"
Ah Jiu was a confidant of Zheng Da Ren, and from his attitude one could guess his mood. Knowing that Zheng Da Ren was not angry, he smiled and said, "Young Master, since you are staying with them, you have to let Wang Da Hu get better faster."
Lord Zheng nodded casually: "Send some of our food over. I think Lu, Green Bean will like it."
Ajiu answered yes, but thinking of Luodou's guess about Mr. Zheng, he glanced at Mr. Zheng's expression and didn't dare to say anything.
"What's the matter? Is there anything else?" Lord Zheng was very perceptive and noticed Ajiu's gaze.
"No." Ah Jiu answered subconsciously, "I, I was just thinking about what would be more suitable to bring for the young master?"
"Just bring some with you. They won't dare to treat him harshly." Lord Zheng said only one sentence and began to arrange the next things.
Ajiu put Luodou's words behind his mind, cheered up and began to listen to Lord Zheng's arrangements.
Wang Dahu was confused when he received the things that Ah Jiu sent. He confirmed with Qiu Sheng again, "Are these sent by Ah Jiu, the master's servant?"
Qiu Sheng nodded vigorously: "Yes, the person who came said that Brother Jiu sent it over."
"Did you leave any message?"
"No."
Wang Dahu's eyes were filled with anxiety. He carefully checked those things and found that they were all food. He waved his hand and asked Qiu Sheng to take them to the kitchen. He touched his chin and began to think.
Given Mr. Zheng's personality, it's impossible for him to give him these things. So what was Ah Jiu's purpose in giving them to him? Was it compensation for the beating he received?
No, no, no, Wang Dahu shook his head violently, how could it be possible.
Qiu Sheng sent all the food to the kitchen and came back with a happy expression: "Brother Jiu, these things were delivered just in time. The cook was just worrying about what to make for my cousin tonight, but now she doesn't have to worry anymore."
The word "cousin" struck a chord with Wang Dahu. He looked up blankly and asked, "Are those things from Jiu given to my cousin?"
"No." Qiu Sheng answered quickly: "Brother Jiu said the things were for the master."
My cousin doesn't know Brother Jiu, so how could he send something to her? Besides, my cousin is a married woman. Although Brother Jiu is a servant, he is by Lord Zheng's side, and his status and position are not comparable to those of ordinary servants like them.
Wang Dahu waved his hand to let Qiu Sheng go out. He lay down on the bed again, thinking quickly in his mind about the probability that Ajiu liked Ye Mingzhu.
He wanted to get better quickly, and then find a chance to test Ajiu's attitude. If Ajiu really liked Ye Mingzhu, he would find a way to send Ye Mingzhu away as soon as possible. He only had this one niece, and she was already married. If she caused any scandal because of attending his wedding, he would never forgive himself for the rest of his life.
It was really because Ajiu's attitude was too positive, otherwise Wang Dahu would not have become suspicious.
Green Bean, who had enjoyed fresh seasonal vegetables in the evening, heard that it was Ah Jiu who brought them. The food on his chopsticks fell into the bowl and he frowned: "Ah Jiu is here again?"
"What do you mean again? You can't talk like that, Green Bean. This dish is so delicious." Ye Mingzhu ate happily and didn't understand the anxiety of her uncle and adopted brother at all.
Green Bean's first reaction was that these seasonal vegetables were sent by Lord Zheng to Ajiu to please Ye Mingzhu. He instantly lost his appetite. His cousin had seen so many noble ladies, so why did he fall for his sister?
Wang Dahu listened to Ye Mingzhu defending Ajiu and wanted to ask about their private interactions, but he realized that this was at the dinner table and it was not convenient to ask. He felt a little unhappy and lost his appetite.
Ye Mingzhu and Ye Yun'an had no concerns about this at all. They both felt that Ajiu was really thoughtful for sending so much food.
Ye Mingzhu was already thinking about whether she should try to please Lord Zheng more, at least to satisfy her appetite.
Now is the time when there is a shortage of food, and these fresh green vegetables are not something you can buy just by having money.
But what she didn't expect was that her plan failed before it was implemented. Until the day of Wang Dahu's wedding, she had no time to meet with Lord Zheng or Ajiu.
