"Xiaoxin, bring me the ledger."

Qinghe came out from the back kitchen, rolled up his sleeves and said to Li Xin who was cleaning the table.The latter responded and threw the tablecloth over his shoulder, "Okay."

Li Xin is the person he picked up on the way to the capital, and it is not accurate to say that he picked it up. The other party has studied for a few years, can read, and can settle accounts. Back then, he was hungry and emaciated, grabbing Qinghe's carriage and crying. "I can do anything, please give me something to eat." Qinghe was soft-hearted, so she took the other party along with her. She wanted to take her to the city and go her separate ways, but she didn't expect that the other party would follow her and would rather stay in this tavern. Work as a waiter in the shop.

"Sister Qing, the business has been going well recently. There are more and more people coming here every day. Then you can ask someone to settle the accounts to come back and settle the accounts for you."

Li Xin handed the ledger and abacus to Qinghe, Qinghe took it and smiled, "Can't I still do it with such a little work? It's much easier than I was a few years ago, and I don't need the accountant. Is there you? Just invite a few mistresses." Qinghe patted Li Xin's arm, looked at him with a smile and said.

Suddenly there was the sound of horseshoes trampling outside the door, Qinghe looked sideways in surprise, and asked strangely: "It's already this point, are there still pedestrians walking on the road?"

The sound of horseshoes approaching from far to near, Li Xin took two steps outside the door and exclaimed: "Sister Qing, they are coming to us!"

After a few breaths, the two men on horseback arrived in front of Jungui's gate. One of them jumped to the ground, held the rein in his hand, glanced into the store, and then looked at Li Xin, who was vigilant. , said loudly: "Excuse me, is there a vacant room here?" The man spoke in a clear voice, which sounded very comfortable, but the accent was a bit strange, not like someone from the vicinity of the capital.

"There are vacant rooms, but our Jungui is a restaurant, not an inn. There probably isn't any room for guests. It's only for us. There is probably one room vacant. It's okay for two people. May I ask you?" Still strolling in the street in the middle of the night, Li Xin glanced up and down at the two suspicious people suspiciously. Behind this person was a more troublesome figure with a cold face, tall and strong, looking It's scary.

"Guests might as well go to the inn in front and ask. It's not the peak season, and the inn will never be full." Qing He got up and came to the door, pointing to the two of them, who knew that Junxiu who looked like the owner The man took out a bulging money bag from his pocket, and threw it up and down.

"Could it be that the shopkeeper suspects that I can't pay the rent?" The visitor stepped forward rather aggressively. Li Xin is not a courageous person, so he followed the opponent's steps and took a step back, but still remembered to stop Qinghe behind him , glaring angrily at the person coming.

"Hey, Xiaoxin," Qinghe pulled Li Xin away and walked out, "Since the guests like our Jungui so much, let them come in and boil some hot water. The guests must be tired, please—"

The two masters and servants came in and looked at the front hall. Li Xin took the two horses away with a feeling of resentment, and took a look at them by the way. Not to mention the tall horses, the horses were fat and majestic. Clearly a fine horse!

It looked like a young master came out to play with guards, not like a thief.

Li Xin let go of the heart that was in his heart.

"Excuse me, is there any food left in this store? My master and servant have been on their way so far and haven't even eaten a single grain of rice." The man in charge took out a piece of silver and put it on the table in front of Qinghe, "It's good if you have it." , whatever it is.”

"I don't know what the son's name is?"

"My surname is Gao, and the single character is Fu."

"Then I'll go and order a bowl of noodles for Mr. Gao." Qing He looked at each other calmly, and when Li Xin came in, he beckoned him to take the two of them to the back room, and went to the kitchen by himself.

Fortunately, the noodles in the daytime were not used up yet, she pulled down the noodles and put them in the pot in two or three, leaning against the stove, Qing He frowned slightly, pursed her lips thinking about the behavior of the two, feeling a little worried in her heart.

The two of them were obviously not ordinary tourists, they refused to stay in the inn where there were obviously vacancies, but they wanted to find the room where they, the second waiter of the restaurant, and others lived. As if afraid that this place is a black shop, Qinghe looked at the bubbling noodles, and only hoped that these two troublesome people would leave quickly.

Qinghe knocked on the door twice when sending the noodles, but the person inside hadn't seen her yet, but the person who suddenly fell from the sky almost scared her so much that the noodle bowl fell to the ground.

"Why don't you and the guest stay in the house? You are still walking on the beams in the middle of the night, which is a misunderstanding."

The man stretched out his hand to take the tray in Qinghe's hand, his eyes were like knives, and his voice was cold: "My master doesn't like outsiders approaching when he is sleeping." The implication is to give Qinghe an order to evict guests.

When Qinghe left, he turned his head and saw the figure reflected on the paper window by the oil lamp, and his heart jumped suddenly.

Had a dream at night, Qinghe didn't sleep well, and after going downstairs to find Li Xin, he found out that the master and servant had gone out early in the morning, as for what they were doing, he didn't know, he only told them to keep the room for them, and they would come back at night return.

"Sister Qing, what do you think these two people are talking about? I don't know what to do."

Qing He was distracted while doing the calculation, when suddenly his arm was pulled hard, Li Xin gasped and pulled Qing He and ran away, before Qing He had time to react, he was about to ask the man who walked in swaggeringly outside the door from the corner of his eyes, He bowed his head and followed Li Xin.

"Where's your shopkeeper? I want to find her—" The voice of the visitor was quite loud, but he seemed a little out of breath when he yelled.

A young man in brocade clothes looked pale, waving an arty paper fan in his hand, pacing and stepping into the door frame shaking his head, and after scanning the audience, he suddenly closed the fan.

"Shopkeeper, don't go—"

Qinghe's footsteps froze, and she could feel the hot gaze behind her.

"Young Master You, come here all right." Qing He pulled out the hand that Li Xin was holding, flicked his sleeves, and waited for that Young Master You to approach.Qinghe's eyes showed a bit of disgust, no one would be happy to see a dandy who is always pestering him.

"Shopkeeper, I haven't seen you for a few days. You seem to have lost a lot." As he said, he stretched out his hand to grab Qinghe's wrist. You Yunting had just been beaten up by his father and locked up at home for five days. All of them are the shopkeeper of Jungui, dressed as a man, handsome, although there are some blemishes on the face, but You Yunting loves the angry eyebrows and eyes, Bai Shengsheng's wrist is in front of him, he can't help but reach out.

Snapped.

"Oh, Mr. You, forgive me, I saw a mosquito flying by, but I didn't expect to hit your hand."

"It's okay, it's okay, can the shopkeeper show me his skills, I don't like eating anything at home, I want to die of the shopkeeper's craftsmanship."

Qinghe opened his eyes and said nonsense, but he didn't expect that this pustule could not hear the sarcasm at all, Qinghe felt a little pitiful for his father, Jing Zhaoyin's only son turned out to be such a good-for-nothing, Even though his father was calling the shots in the capital, he couldn't control his son causing trouble here.

"Xiaoxin, take Mr. You to his former private room, and I'll send the food up later."

Li Xin responded, and went upstairs to lead the way, but he didn't expect that people didn't follow. Looking back, You Yunting dared to follow behind Qinghe with a salivating face, desperately wanting to follow into the kitchen.

"Young Master You, I can't enter this backyard except for my Jungui people. I'd better follow Xiaoxin upstairs and sit there, look at the moat and drink some wine..."

"I can do whatever I want!" You Yunting was under the control of his father at home, and he was able to dominate outside with great difficulty. He hated people preaching to him the most. Unexpectedly, he took an inch and grabbed Qinghe's wrist and dragged him to the backyard.

Qinghe winked at Li Xin quickly, and immediately understood. After telling the waiter, he hurried out to call for someone. This You Yunting was most afraid of his father, and ordered someone to spoil him. At this time, he was probably looking for him everywhere. You Yunting will restrain himself when the other party is brought here.

"Ouch, hello——" Li Xin was about to bump into someone head-on, when suddenly a burst of momentum hit him, and he fell firmly on his buttocks. Looking carefully, it turned out that the attendant wanted to prevent him from bumping into his master. New push.

"Where is the second brother in a hurry?" Gao Fu quickly pulled Li Xin up, his face full of concern.

"Get out of the way, I remember to call someone!" Li Xin rubbed his buttocks, and was about to run out, "You Yunting, that bastard is here again!"

As Gao Fu walked in, he heard the people whispering to each other again. He found it quite interesting. He was about to ask, when he heard something broken from the backyard, and the guests eating in the front hall seemed to be quiet for a moment.

"Come on, let's go and see!"

Gao Fu, who was full of curiosity, had just entered the backyard where the clerk and others lived, when he saw a young man in brocade clothes pulling Qinghe, as if he was going to do something wrong to her!

Although Qinghe didn't know why she had to disguise herself as a man, but she was pretty and delicate, but she looked even weaker when dressed as a man, but anyone with a little discernment could see her daughter's body at a glance.

"stop!"

"Mind your own business, do you know who my father is? Why do you want to do what you want, don't get in the way!" As he spoke, he continued to tug on Qinghe's belt. Qinghe is a woman, and her strength is not as strong as that of a man. Being suppressed by the opponent and unable to resist, at this time I don't care about the identity of the opponent, so I bent my knees and wanted to hit him hard——

"what--"

You Yunting screamed and was thrown and rolled on the ground, but it was not Qinghe's feet.

"Ye Yi, you should be gentle, this young master seems to be very big." Gao Fu twirled the fan in his hand, and slowly walked in front of You Yunting. Is it Mr. You? I’m really sorry, my guard’s strength is a bit heavy, and I hope I didn’t hurt you.”

"Ye Yi, take Mr. You to see if there is any bump."

"Yes."

"Shopkeeper, are you okay?" Gao Fu closed his fan, subconsciously hugged Qinghe's waist, saw Qinghe looking at him with raised brows, let go as if he had been scorched, with an embarrassed expression on his face, "men and women can't understand each other , I'm really sorry for the shopkeeper."

"It's good to defend men and women, but you and I are both daughters, so it seems that you don't have to worry about this, Miss Gao?" Qing He straightened the messy skirt, and approached Gao Fu with a smile on his mouth. The other party frowned, his face full of surprise .

"The shopkeeper has good eyesight, when did you find out?"
