Yan Ruyu walked to the steps and saw a person standing in the yard, wearing a round-neck brocade robe, which looked like a steward's attire.

There is a white jade plaque on his waist, which some stewards of the county government do not have.

This man is tall and thin, wearing gripper boots, carrying a knife at his waist, and his right hand habitually rests on the handle of the knife. There are calluses on his fingers, which may be caused by long-term use of the knife.

is a master.

Yan Ruyu finished observing calmly, withdrew her gaze, turned around and walked out.

Huo Changxian's servant has already summoned Shopkeeper Li and others.

The boy was selfish and didn't mention anything else. He just said that the eldest son was looking for him. He felt that all these shopkeepers were as smart as monkeys. If he informed them in advance and let them have countermeasures in mind, they might make mistakes that would be detrimental to their work. Push it on yourself.

He refuses to take this responsibility.

Shopkeeper Li took the accountant into the county government's mansion, and several waiters were waiting for news. With their status, they were not qualified to see Huo Changxian.

Shopkeeper Li was very proud and felt that he would be praised this time. As soon as he entered the front hall and saw Huo Changhe there, he couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth.

He deliberately ignored Huo Changhe and saluted Huo Changxian: "Greetings to the eldest son."

Huo Changhe didn't even raise his eyelids. He stroked the ring on his hand as if he was aloof from the incident. He secretly thought to himself that the material of this ring was really good and the workmanship was beautiful. Ruyu had a good eye and she didn't know where she got it. Why haven't you come back yet? I don’t know how she is doing with Yongchang County Lord.

When Huo Changxian saw that he was silent, and then looked at Shopkeeper Li's arrogant look, he knew that what he said before was true.

Huo Changxian's face darkened and he said angrily: "Why do you want to meet me? Your current employer is Mr. Jia. Did I ask the servant to tell you that you must cooperate with the new owner to make the shop a good one?"

Shopkeeper Li was stunned for a moment, observing his expression and wondering, was the eldest young master just acting?

Looking at the young man again, the young man immediately said: "Shopkeeper Li, I told you the truth, and I conveyed the young master's meaning truthfully, word for word."

Shopkeeper Li had no intention of listening to him. He only wanted to find out whether Huo Changxian was sincere or not.

"I……"

"What are you!" Huo Changxian was so angry that he had a headache and suddenly threw the tea cup, "Everyone disobeys the instructions and makes Mr. Jia laugh! I only think that my subordinates are all unruly and naughty people like you. !”

"You still want to use these tricks on Mr. Jia? Mr. Jia controls countless shops. You are blind and ignorant. You are really a frog in the well."

When Shopkeeper Li heard this, he looked like he was not acting, and he felt a little panicked. He quickly said: "The villain is shameless. Please calm down, Master."

Huo Changxian gave him a wink, and he quickly faced Huo Changhe: "My boss, this villain is blind. Don't be as knowledgeable as this villain."

"I am indeed not as familiar with you," Huo Changhe said calmly, still not looking at him, "I am very busy."

Yan Ruyu's voice sounded from outside the door: "Shopkeeper Li? We meet again."

Huo Changhe immediately raised his head to look at her. Yan Ruyu walked to his side, smiled lightly at him, and then looked at Shopkeeper Li.

"Shopkeeper Li, are you coming to complain to your old boss?"

"No, no," Shopkeeper Li quickly denied, "The girl was joking..."

"I never joke," Yan Ruyu interrupted him, turning to look at Huo Changxian, "Sir, the cloth shop has been closed now, and my master has arranged for someone to take it over, so I won't bother you and shopkeeper Li. Of course, if you want to It’s not impossible to take the shop back.”

"Whatever you say, I have absolutely no intention of doing so," Huo Changxian said, "Don't worry, girl, after I reprimand them, I will let them go back and work honestly, and then... I will deduct one month's salary from them."

Huo Changhe stood up and said: "Since the cloth village has been given to me, I don't need to worry about the shop. I will not use shopkeeper Li again. You can reprimand me as much as you want, and you don't need to inform me anymore. I have already made arrangements for you." , I’m not a novice either, so my business will surely pick up slowly.”

"I still have something to do. I'll take my leave after clarifying the matter."

He turned around and left. Huo Changxian was a little anxious and followed a few steps quickly: "Master Jia."

Yan Ruyu turned around and smiled at him: "Young master, let's take care of business first. Let's go first. By the way, I'll pick up the shaman early tomorrow morning."

Huo Changxian stopped for a moment and could not continue speaking, so he motioned for the boy to follow him quickly.

The boy followed him out until the shadow disappeared, and Huo Changxian threw several more tea cups.

"You're satisfied!" He roared angrily, with fire coming out of his throat, "It's a simple thing, but you have to be smart to end up like this!"

"My master has two big shops. If you give them up, you will be rewarded. It's better for you. If you come here, not only will all the favors disappear, but it will also make people suspect that I instigated you."

"You guys are working together to trick me!"

The two shopkeepers were so frightened that they quickly knelt down: "Sir, we have absolutely no intention of doing this."

"Young master, you don't dare!"

"Don't dare, don't dare, but you dare to do this!" Huo Changxian looked at the grain store manager, "And you, where did the grain go? Why is there not a grain left?"

Shopkeeper Yu quickly said: "Master, I really don't know. What I said before is true every word. It was still there when the door was closed and the board was put up. But for some reason, overnight..."

Before he finished speaking, Huo Changxian kicked him over: "Overnight, overnight, so much food was stolen, and you don't know anything about it! What's the use of you?"

Just as he was getting angry, the mother-in-law came to report: "Oh no, eldest son, the county master has fainted!"

……

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe got on the carriage, and Huo Changhe asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, I just went to the garden and the kitchen," Yan Ruyu sipped her tea, "There's nothing wrong with the chicken soup."

"That's weird," Huo Changhe frowned, "but I always feel that the attitude of the Yongchang County Lord in letting Huo Changxian drink chicken soup is a bit baffling."

"Yes," Yan Ruyu agreed, "The chicken soup is indeed fine. On the contrary, those chickens were raised carefully and the chicken soup was cooked very well. After all, the head of Yongchang County is his biological mother, and there is a high probability that she will not use this method to harm him."

"So, I'm wondering if this chicken soup represents something. It's a paranoid attitude. I don't care if he likes it or not, just because I want him to drink it." Yan Ruyu analyzed, "Maybe it's because there is one person who likes it."

Huo Changhe's eyes brightened: "You mean, the emperor?"

"is it possible?"

Huo Changhe shook his head: "I really don't know about this. Most people don't know the emperor's taste preferences. Not to mention that I am a king with a different surname. The emperor is already afraid of me. Even the princes may not know it."

Yan Ruyu also guessed this result and no longer struggled: "I'll talk about this for another time. There is something else. When I came out, I met someone."
