Jing Qingrong told Su Liuer what happened to him yesterday.
It turned out that he had decided on the menu after meeting Su Liuer yesterday, and then waited in the room for Su Liuer to close the restaurant and come to eat.
As a result, he and Qingfeng were knocked unconscious by someone using smoke in the room. When they woke up, it was already dark. Su Liuer had already finished her meal and returned to Shangyou Village.
"That person even imitated my voice and spoke to Lao Zhou outside, asking him not to disturb the young master's rest. That's why Lao Zhou didn't notice anything unusual." Qingfeng added, also with an angry look on his face.
Although he didn't want the young master and Madam Su to get too close, it was one thing for the young master to realize his mistake, but it was another thing for someone to scheme against him! Of course, he stood on the young master's side.
After listening to this, Su Liuer asked the two, "You didn't even see anyone, how do you know it was Zhu Yunxi who did it?"
Jing Qingrong flung open his folding fan, fanning himself rapidly as he angrily said, "It has to be him! Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that he was already dining at the restaurant last night, and even deliberately ordered so many dishes? Doesn't that mean he was planning to treat you to a meal a long time ago? Also, I went to ask him this morning, and he didn't deny it! It has to be him! Shameless!"
Su Liuer reached out and patted Jing Qingrong on the shoulder, soothing him: "Don't be so angry. At most, you can treat me to dinner tonight. It was his treat yesterday anyway, so I didn't lose anything."
Jing Qingrong's face lit up at first, but then he frowned and said, "Why would you think that? Of course you're at a disadvantage! Didn't you and him part ways on bad terms yesterday? Wasn't it because he did something to make you angry? Like, for example, he touched you?"
Su Liuer twitched the corner of her mouth and shook her head, saying, "No, you think too much." Then she turned and went into the shop. She should be the one who touched her yesterday, right?
Jing Qingrong followed him in and said with a depressed look on his face, "So are we just going to let him go?"
"We? He and I have nothing to do with each other. It's up to you whether you want to let him go or not."
As soon as these words were spoken, Jing Qingrong's peach blossom eyes smiled. Listen, she has nothing to do with him!
"Well, we agreed to have dinner together tonight. See you there."
"Okay." Su Liuer nodded, thinking that it was difficult enough for Jing Qingrong to stay in Qingxi Town. Without any friends, he could only look to her to relieve his boredom all day long.
Thinking of this, Su Liuer asked, "How long will it take for the saltpeter to arrive?" Once the ice-making matter is finalized, Jing Qingrong will not have to continue to stay here and get moldy.
He'll have things to do then.
Jing Qingrong was very concerned about the saltpeter issue and immediately responded, "It should arrive in two days. The weather and wind direction are good these days, which saves a lot of time."
-
In Dongling Country, there are large rivers and waterways all over the country, and traveling by water is the most time-saving method of transportation.
Qingxi Town is not far from Shanghe County Wharf, and also provides a very convenient route for transporting saltpeter.
It was very strange that Jing Qingrong took saltpeter from his family's fireworks business, so someone reported it to Mrs. Jing.
Although the Jing family does not allow the inner house to get involved in external affairs, Mrs. Jing also comes from a prominent family and is not so obedient and easy to discipline. She has her own power to infiltrate the Jing family. When she learned the news.
"Qingxi Town, is that where the widow is?" Madam Jing asked Madam Hong beside her.
Nanny Hong is Lao Zhou's mother, Madam Jing's wet nurse, and her confidante.
"That's right. This matter must be related to that young widow. The young master never acts rashly. He must have been instigated to transport so much saltpeter to such a distant place. But what could this saltpeter be used for? This old servant is stupid."
