Chapter 51 Tracking

After the banquet was over, Zhao Qixuan invited everyone to take a night tour of the Qinhuai River. He Lianjing waved his hand: "I've been swimming all afternoon, and I'm going to throw up if I swim again. You guys go, I'm going home."

Zhao Qixuan saw that he was really not interested in swimming in the lake, so he didn't force him, and said, "Don't worry about what you asked, as long as that person is in Jiangxi, my brother-in-law will find it for you."

Speaking of this, He Lianjing said: "I thought about it just now, but I still won't look for it."

Zhao Qixuan was surprised: "Why didn't you look for it?"

Helian Jingxin said: I have already found it, so I will not look for it! But he couldn't say that, so he said: "Maybe he lied to me and didn't go to Jiangxi, let's forget it."

Zhao Qixuan patted He Lianjing's shoulder in understanding: "Xiaojing, we are in the same boat! However, you are still clear-headed, and your brother and I are a fool. I know that Xiaosu is lying to me, and I still look for him everywhere. Ah, look, why do you think I can’t think about it so much?”

He Lianjing was taken aback when he heard this, what kind of sympathy is there? He's not that bad.

"However, I'm happy even if I'm a bull's-eye. Xiaojing, sincerity is as good as gold and stones. I believe, stick to it. There will always be times when the clouds will bloom and the moon will rise. I won't give up, and you shouldn't take it lightly." give up."

As he spoke, Zhao Qixuan patted him on the shoulder again, looked at Yue sadly for a while, then shook his head and left.

The more He Lianjing thought about it, the more he felt wrong. A crooked person thinks everything crookedly.

Ye Jiayao drank six cups of No. 1 Scholar Red. She didn't feel any discomfort at the time, and she started to eat it when she returned to the kitchen. Originally, she had a good capacity for alcohol, a catty of white wine was a base, seven or eight bottles of beer was ok, and she drank a little rice wine, but half a catty was fine. The problem was that she hadn't eaten dinner yet, and she couldn't hold on to six glasses on an empty stomach. live.

Shopkeeper Li was 1,000 to 10,000 satisfied with the newly recruited kitchen assistant. Seeing that Ye Jiayao's face was not looking well, he said, "Second sister, you and Li Yao go back first, Li Yao, you don't have to come early tomorrow, you can make lunch in time." Just do it."

Li Erniang said: "That's fine, but I won't be coming tomorrow, the inn is in a state of distress."

Shopkeeper Li apologized: "You have worked hard these few days, and the loss of your inn will be made up by Tianshangju."

"It's nothing to lose. Even if there is, I can't ask you to make up for it. My brothers and sisters should help. It's okay. I'll go first." Li Erniang said with a smile.

"Ask Lao Guan to take you back." Shopkeeper Li asked Xiao Lu to let Lao Guan prepare the carriage.

Ye Jiayao was tired and dizzy, so she stopped being pretentious, and gave the one hundred taels silver note to Shopkeeper Li: "Shopkeeper, the trouble is gone, and I will share a point with everyone."

Shopkeeper Li said: "This is rewarded by the son of the world, you keep it for yourself."

Ye Jiayao smiled: "I can't do it alone, it's everyone's credit."

Shopkeeper Li hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll spread it out for you, and take out 30% for everyone."

Even so, the number is quite considerable. In the restaurant, not counting Li Yao, there are seven kitchen assistants, three handymen, and doormen. There are more than 20 people in total. The monthly money is only one tael, which is enough.

Ye Jiayao's generosity is true, but it still hurts to divide the one hundred taels of silver. She is now a poor household. Although she is not yet able to rely on other people's relief, she is still struggling. Shopkeeper Li's distribution is just what she wants, so she said: "The shopkeeper arranges to come."

Shopkeeper Li is so caring and considerate to Li Yao, which makes other people envious. There is no suspense anymore, this Li Yao will soon take over the post of chef. Most people have no opinion. On the contrary, they really hope that Li Yao will become a chef. Li Yao is approachable and generous. Unlike the previous chef Niu, it is their responsibility to do a good job. The credit for a good job is all his own. , he scolded when he moved, beat and scolded angrily... Li Yao kept claiming everyone's credit, and even distributed the rewards to everyone. In this regard, Chef Niu couldn't compare with her, even a toenail cap.

But Zhong Xiang didn't think so, in his opinion; Li Yao got in by relying on connections, and Li Yao sent rewards to everyone to win people's hearts. If Li Yao didn't exist, maybe he would be the one who got the limelight today. Therefore, Li Yao is a stumbling block on his way forward, the sand in his eyes, the thorn in his flesh, which must be removed quickly.

Walking out of Tianshangju, Ye Jiayao was a little surprised that he didn't see He Lianjing. According to her understanding of Xiao Jingjing, with his short temper, he would definitely wait for her outside and grab her for questioning.

Forget it, maybe she thinks too much of herself.

Xiao Jingjing has already returned to the palace, so she is no longer needed.

Ye Jiayao asked Li Erniang to get into the carriage, and followed the carriage by herself. She is now dressed as a man, although Li Erniang is already the age of a aunt, but she is still slender and charming, for the sake of Erniang's reputation, she should avoid suspicion.

Li Erniang said, "You can sit with Lao Guan."

"No, I want to take a few steps to blow some air and let off the smell of alcohol. It's not far anyway." Ye Jiayao declined politely.

The carriage rolled slowly, making a creaking sound on the road paved with bluestone, echoing in the empty street.

The melodious sound of silk and bamboo floats in the distance, the shadows of lights on the Qinhuai River are like stars, and gorgeous painted boats float quietly in the gorgeous river of lights. Ten miles of the Qinhuai River, the sound of lights and oars, the bustling and prosperous picture described in the history books is displayed at this time in sight.

Nima, when I have money, I will also charter a painting boat, and invite the most beautiful girl in Jinling to take a swim and be chic.

Ye Jiayao had a big wish in her heart, and suddenly remembered something, and felt very tangled.

Xiao Jingjing already knew that she lived in the sky, would she have recruited the stupid donkey? This is entirely possible.

The reason she hid here and there was to hide from that stupid donkey.

But she has already signed the contract, so she can't break the contract, right?

She still has a big plan to implement, so she can't even take revenge for the stupid donkey, can she?

What are you afraid of? Ye Jiayao puffed up her chest and gave herself a bit of aura. Could it be that the stupid donkey will snatch her back by force? He didn't say everything, he didn't need to act anymore, maybe he didn't know her when he saw her.

Well! If he really reacted like this, I'm afraid she will vomit even more and become even more angry. Nima, this is the first time in this old lady's past life that she was ruined like this, and she didn't get any compensation.

Ye Jiayao was depressed and thought about these bad things, but she didn't realize that there was someone following her not far or near at all.

This time, He Lianjing learned a good lesson and didn't go to her rashly. He had to find out all about her first, and then take all precautions to prevent her from disappearing silently again.

Following all the way to the Laifu Inn, He Lianjing waited outside for a long time, but Dayaoyao did not come out. It seems that this is her final destination.

Xiao Er came out to close the shop, He Lianjing hurriedly waved to him.

Xiao Er came out suspiciously: "Guest officer, what's the matter?"

He Lianjing pulled him aside and asked in a low voice, "Is there a little brother named Li Yao living in the inn?"

Xiao Er said, "Yes, what's the matter?"

He Lianjing sighed and said: "He is a distant relative of mine. Both his parents have forgotten him. He came to Jinling to make a living. I originally let him live in my house and arranged a good job for him, but he is too self-conscious and afraid to cause me trouble. , I would rather come to live in an inn than accept money from him, hey, I really don’t know what to do with him.”

Xiao Er heard that He Lianjing was a relative of Brother Li, so he relaxed his guard: "Brother Li is a very nice person, and he helped our shopkeeper a lot when he came here. Our shopkeeper likes him very much, and our lady boss is making noodles for him right now." Woolen cloth!"

He Lianjing's heart ached for a while, Dayaoyao had been working all night, and now he was only eating noodles, he must be starving. Immediately, he took out a few pieces of silver and stuffed them on the little second hand: "I'm really worried about him living outside alone, little second brother, please take care of him in secret, but don't let him know, otherwise, he will feel Owe me."

Xiaoer was embarrassed to return the money to He Lianjing: "I will take care of it if you don't tell me, he is our guest."

"Keep it in the bag. In the future, if he has anything to do, no matter how big or small, please tell me. I will send someone to ask you every day. If he wants to leave, please let me know as soon as possible. If you go to the palace to find me, just say you can find Xiaojing, and I will not treat you badly."

Xiao Er was secretly startled, it turned out that Brother Li was a relative who worked in Prince Helian's mansion, respectfully said: "That's all right, I'll take care of this matter."

He Lianjing solemnly warned: "Don't let him know."

Xiao Er smiled and said, "No, I will take care of things, don't worry."

"Oh, by the way, I heard he got a job in heaven."

"That's right! Brother Li is a great cook, and he signed a first-class chef right away."

"Oh, do you know how many years he signed?"

"When Li Xiaoge told our shopkeeper about this, I heard it in one ear, as if it was signed for three years."

Xiao Er spontaneously said: "He booked a private room in our inn for three months, the location name, and our shopkeeper gave him a 30% discount."

He Lianjing felt distressed when he heard about the name of Dayaoyao's residence. The name of the place was the worst guest room, so he had to find a way to make Dayaoyao live better.

After Ye Jiayao walked all the way, the smell of alcohol dissipated, and she felt less uncomfortable, eating Erniang's noodles, feeling very satisfied.

Erniang's craftsmanship is really good, the ordinary tomato and egg noodles are made by her with a special taste.

"Sister-in-law's cooking skills are so good, brother, why don't you also open a hotel to make more money than opening an inn?" Ye Jiayao asked while eating.

Shopkeeper Du said: "It's not so easy to open a restaurant. Besides, it's tiring. Your sister-in-law is not in good health, so she can't bear it."

Ye Jiayao was surprised, no wonder Er Niang looked so thin.

"Brother, where is your child? Why didn't you see it?"

Shopkeeper Du looked disappointed, and heaved a long sigh: "It's gone. Ten years old had a serious illness and couldn't be saved."

Ye Jiayao put a mouthful of noodles in her mouth and almost choked. She really wanted to slap herself in the mouth, but accidentally poked someone's sore spot.

"No, I'm sorry, I..."

Shopkeeper Du waved his hand: "It's okay, just don't let your sister-in-law hear it, she can't hear it, she will feel uncomfortable when she hears it, and she will get sick when she feels uncomfortable."

Ye Jiayao nodded her head heavily, and she didn't mention it anymore if she was killed.

Xiao Er came in from the outside, shopkeeper Du frowned and said, "I told you to close the shop, where have you been?"

Xiaoer hesitated and said: "Just now there was a guest who wanted to stay in the hotel, and asked the price, and left because he thought it was too expensive."

Shopkeeper Du grumbled: "It's still too expensive, so I don't ask about it. If Jinling City is full, my Laifu Inn has the most reasonable price. Hey, it's hard to do any business these days."
