[Red Mansion] His mouth was opened

"Why are you not in a hurry?" Youdao said that the emperor was not in a hurry, and the eunuch was anxious to death. Aunt Zhao is in this state now. Jia Huan is still leisurely these days. He goes to the study in the morning and reads when he comes back in the afternoon. Or practice riding and archery, almost going back and forth between the imperial palace and Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Huan closed the book in his hand and sighed helplessly, "Mother, what's the use of being anxious."

"It's useless to be anxious." Aunt Zhao put her hands on her hips, "But it's useless if you stay at home like this. Your mother eats more salt than you eat. You must be right."

Jia Huan covered her face and had no choice but to let Aunt Zhao push her out the door.

He was about to turn around, but saw that Aunt Zhao had ordered the maid to close the door.

The corners of Jia Huan's eyes twitched. Could this be the legendary "run away from home".

Little Jixiang said in embarrassment: "Third Master, follow your aunt's advice and go out for a walk."

As she spoke, she took the lock and locked the door.

Jia Huan had no choice but to look up at the scorching sun that was scorching the earth. The sun was shining, and Aunt Zhao was willing to push him out. It can be seen that these days, Aunt Zhao saw that he didn't care about catching thieves. Take things to heart, how much fire has accumulated in my heart.

"Brother Huan." Zhao Guoji trotted towards Jia Huan, "The carriage is ready, let's go."

"I..." Jia Huan was about to ask himself when he would ask Zhao Guoji to prepare the carriage, but when he thought about it, he immediately understood that Aunt Zhao was a knife-mouthed bean curd, and even if he was driven out, everything would be prepared in advance. alright.

"Okay, let's go." Jia Huan changed his mind, since Aunt Zhao had already prepared everything, if she didn't go for a walk, how could she be worthy of her good intentions, and simply let her rest assured.

After getting into the carriage, Zhao Guoji was driving the carriage outside. Although the carriage was comfortable, it was a bit stuffy after all. Jia Huan sat down beside Zhao Guoji.

It's already too hot right now before the big heat arrives.

There are ice bowls on both sides of the street. Jia Huan bought two bowls. The bottom of the ice bowl is chopped ice, and the berries on top are sweet and sour, but they are also very delicious.

Jia Huan was eating the ice bowl, but he remembered something. A few days ago, Mrs. Wang gave him the title deed of Keyunlou, and he hasn't visited Keyunlou until now.

"Uncle, let's change the way and go to the Keyun Tower." Jia Huan said.

Zhao Guoji showed hesitation on his face, "Didn't we come to find that thief?

Jia Huan glanced at Zhao Guoji, feeling puzzled in his heart. Although Zhao Guoji and him were uncles and nephews, Zhao Guoji always listened to what he said and never refuted or asked him. How did he say this?

Since he had doubts, he didn't get too entangled, and asked directly, "Uncle, what are you hiding from me?"

Zhao Guoji was left speechless by the question, and looked straight at Jia Huan, "Huan'er, how did you know?"

Jia Huan pursed his lips and smiled, Zhao Guoji couldn't be more simple, his little thoughts were almost written on his face, "Uncle really has something to hide from me, what is it?"

Now that he was discovered, Zhao Guoji had no choice but to scratch the back of his head, and said honestly: "Then let me tell you, don't tell your mother."

Jia Huan was not surprised that Aunt Zhao knew this, and Aunt Zhao was the only one who could keep Zhao Guoji from him, "Okay, I promise you never tell my mother."

Only then did Zhao Guoji feel relieved, "Second Wife gave you the Keyun Building. Your mother sent me to see it before. The location of the place is not bad, but the business is very poor. I didn't see it for half a day. A few people went in to eat."

Business is sluggish.Jia Huan wasn't surprised, if it wasn't for the Keyun Tower's problems, how could Mrs. Wang be willing to give it to him?

"Let's go and have a look." Jia Huan immediately made a decision. No matter how bad the business of Keyun Tower is, there is such a location. As long as he thinks of a good way to come out, he will not worry about turning losses into profits.

Zhao Guoji couldn't resist him, so he had to turn the car around and head towards the Keyun Tower.

As Zhao Guoji said, the location of Keyun Building is not bad. It is at the corner of the street on the left side of West City, where vehicles pass by like water, but there is no one horse-drawn carriage stopping for tipping or lodging.

Jia Huan bent slightly, and looked towards the Keyun Building from under the curtain of the car. The outside looks impressive. Why is the business so sluggish?

"Uncle, let's go in and have a look." Jia Huan said, jumping off the carriage.

Zhao Guoji responded, tied the rope to the pillar in front of Keyun Tower, and ran to catch up with Jia Huan.

As soon as he stepped over the threshold, Jia Huan couldn't help but hold his nose. There was a pungent and horrible smell in the air. The smell was like salted fish that had spoiled in hot weather, smelly and sour.

"Hey! What's the smell?" Zhao Guoji couldn't bear the smoke, and asked while covering his nose.

Beside the counter, there was a middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper standing there. It was not too late, but he had already dozed off, his chin was lighting like a chicken pecking at rice.

Jia Huanhuan looked around and saw that there was a huge Keyun Building, which was divided into upper and lower floors. There were more than a dozen tables on the first floor, and the second floor was used for staying in the shop. Not to anyone other than the shopkeeper.

"Brother Huan, now you know how desolate this place is." Zhao Guoji said vaguely, holding his nose.

Jia Huan nodded, he was really down and out, among other things, there was obviously a thick layer of dust on the table and stool, and it was obvious that it hadn't been cleaned for a few days.

"Brother, let's..." Zhao Guoji was overwhelmed by the smell, and didn't want to stay in Keyunlou for a moment.

"No hurry." Jia Huan waved his hand and walked towards the counter.

He bent his fingers and knocked on the counter. The middle-aged man was disturbed by his dreams, his eyes widened like a cow, and he looked at Jia Huan, "Who are you?"

Is this strange?Jia Huan raised his brows. As the shopkeeper, when he saw someone coming in, instead of saying hello, he even asked questions in this tone.

"Rongguo Mansion Huan San Ye." Zhao Guoji replied.

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, before he realized it after a while, he quickly squeezed out a smiling face, came out from behind the counter, and cupped his hands, "So it's the third master, I'm too young to know Taishan, offended the third master, Forgive me, my little one, and make you a pot of tea."

He spoke so fast that he ran into the kitchen to make tea without touching the ground.

Although he has a considerate attitude, he does not do it properly. A shopkeeper needs to be an apprentice for at least ten years to climb up to this position. He is always smooth and sophisticated in his behavior, but the shopkeeper Jia Huan sees in front of him is really eye-popping. .

"Third Master." The middle-aged man came out of the kitchen, followed by a man with a low eyebrow and a pleasing eye, wearing a coarse cloth and holding a tea tray in his hand.

The middle-aged man showed a flattering smile at Jia Huan, but turned his head to the man very rudely, "Put the teapot on the table quickly."

The man didn't say a word, but silently picked up the handle of the teapot and was about to put it on the table.

But for some reason, perhaps the ground was too slippery, he stepped on a gap, tilted his body, and the teapot in his hand flew forward.

"Brother Huan!" Zhao Guoji exclaimed.

However, the man's reaction was exceptionally quick. He stabilized his body with one breath, and then firmly grasped the handle of the teapot with his back hand like an eagle's claw.

All this happened in just a few breaths of time.

"Dang—" The teapot was placed on the table.

Before Zhao Guoji could react, he opened his mouth wide and his eyes were about to protrude.

Jia Huan narrowed his eyes slightly, this skill is really good.

The man lowered his head shyly, as if he was about to bury himself.

The middle-aged man came back to his senses, his face turned pale. If Jia Huan made any mistake with him, would his little life be saved? !Immediately, he was so angry that he pointed at the man and cursed some dirty words.

"The shopkeeper, please forgive him this time." Jia Huan said suddenly, "Nothing happened to me now, and he didn't think it was intentional."

The middle-aged man gave up, waved his hand, and drove the man away like a fly.

The man remained silent during this process, as if he was dumb. When the shopkeeper scolded him, he didn't speak, and when Jia Huan helped him speak, he didn't say a word either.

Zhao Guoji frowned, and muttered something, not knowing what was good and what was bad.

The middle-aged man was indeed not a real shopkeeper, and Jia Huan got his words out in just a few words. The business of this guest cloud building was very prosperous at first, and the real customers came like clouds, but in the past few months, There were rumors of ghosts spreading in this Keyun Tower. It was said that in the middle of the night, someone heard someone crying, and saw the paper money flying up in the corner of the backyard, but there was no one in sight. Scared off.

I prefer not to go out, and bad things travel thousands of miles.

In a few days, everyone in the capital knew that the place was not clean, and all the guests were afraid to come to the house immediately.

The shopkeeper also took the money and ran away early on the excuse of old age and frailty, and the others scattered like birds and beasts, leaving only the shopkeeper now.

Now the shopkeeper was just a small helper in the back kitchen, responsible for washing dishes and cleaning tables, but now, there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are called kings.

"Third Master, don't worry, our shop is an old shop after all. As long as those rumors are forgotten after a while, the business will naturally improve." Selling the store, he quickly patted his chest to guarantee Jia Huan.

Jia Huan grumbled grudgingly, in this way, if the business can improve, it would be strange!

However, since this place is his, he has to find a way to solve it.
