Chapter 229 This brand is useful
"Why doesn't Boss Yu go to the shop but stays at home instead?" Jiang Xuan took a quick look at Old Yu's house and sat down in response to Old Yu's polite voice.

"Oh, I caught a cold a few days ago and haven't been in good spirits these days. I won't go to the shop and cause trouble for the time being." Old Yu said calmly.

While Old Yu was speaking, Jiang Xuan was carefully observing Old Yu's expressions and movements.

After observation, Jiang Xuan sensed a hint of discomfort in Lao Yu, but he didn't see any signs of lying.

"Could it be that the young man with the same surname Yu in Yu's Clothing Store was not lying, but was just overthinking it?" Jiang Xuan began to doubt his previous judgment.

However, his intuition told him that even if the young man surnamed Yu had no intention of harming anyone, this matter was probably not as simple as Old Yu said, nor as easy as the young man surnamed Yu said.

He decided to continue asking around and find out more clues.

"Boss Yu is the owner of Yuji Clothing Store. He has brought the store to its current state. How can he be said to be causing trouble for the store?" Jiang Xuan simply raised his little question.

After hearing this, Old Yu smiled helplessly at first, then said calmly: "I am already old, and it is time to hand over the shop to the younger generation to manage."

When Old Yu said this, Jiang Xuan felt something was wrong.

He had seen Lao Yu's craftsmanship. Apart from anything else, the high-quality needlework displayed in the shop was proof of that.

What Jiang Xuan said just now was not an exaggeration. It can be said that the success of Yu Ji Clothing Store today is entirely due to Old Yu's craftsmanship and his diligence and persistence.

In order to better manage Yu Ji Clothing Store and save more money, Old Yu did not even hire a clerk, but ran the store by himself.

It can be said that Old Yu has treated Yuji Clothing Store as his own child, and does everything personally, fearing that anything will delay the development of Yuji Clothing Store.

However, today, Old Yu's attitude has undergone such a huge change.

Suddenly, Lao Yu seemed to have lost all feelings for this shop and stopped caring about it.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan finally understood why he was so intuitive.

Just take Lao Yu's attitude as an example. There is something extremely wrong.

"Boss Yu, do you have any children?" Jiang Xuan asked.

Old Yu shook his head and said, "I've run this clothing store since I was young, and only now have I had a chance to breathe. I've never married."

"To be honest, Boss, I just passed by Yuji Clothing Store and then I remembered what Young Master Jiang asked me to do. When I went into the store, I saw a young man who also managed the store in an orderly manner."

Jiang Xuan said this while still looking at Lao Yu.

Upon hearing this, Old Yu's expression became somewhat complicated. He said, "That's my recently accepted apprentice. From now on, I want to hand over the management of this shop to him."

"Since he is Boss Yu's apprentice, his skills must be quite high." Jiang Xuan said.

Old Yu waved his hand again and said, "His craftsmanship is far inferior to mine. Did he tell you that Young Master Jiang's brocade robe was repaired by me personally?"

Jiang Xuan had heard this from Old Yu, but at that time, Jiang Xuan only thought that Old Yu was grateful for his help, so he took the initiative to repair the brocade robe himself.

What Jiang Xuan didn't expect was that Boss Yu personally repaired his brocade robe because Xiao Yu was simply unable to do the job.

"In that case..." Jiang Xuan started to speak, but swallowed the rest of the words back.

He wasn't sure if this was the right time to discuss this with Boss Yu. Instead, Old Yu asked Jiang Xuan about it.

"I haven't asked your name yet, sir." After saying that, there was a hint of anticipation on Old Yu's face.

"Oh, I forgot to mention it. My name is Ling Honghe, and I'm a personal guard at the Yingzhou City Lord's Mansion."

After saying that, Jiang Xuan did not wait for Lao Yu to doubt him like others did, but handed the identity card on his waist directly to Lao Yu and asked him to confirm his identity.

When Old Yu heard Jiang Xuan's words, he was a little confused at first, but when he took the sign, he was surprised.

Obviously, Lao Yu knew this brand.

In fact, not to mention other states, at least in the five nearby states, the waist badges of the royal guards are generally similar, and the materials are also unified, but the patterns on them are slightly different.

Therefore, as an old Yu who had seen the waist badge of the personal guard of Qizhou City Lord's Mansion, he naturally no longer doubted the identity of the person in front of him as the personal guard of Yingzhou City Lord's Mansion.

"It turns out to be Lord Ling, Ling's personal guard. Please forgive my poor eyesight." Old Yu quickly stood up and saluted Jiang Xuan.

"Boss Yu, you're too kind." Jiang Xuan followed Old Yu's movements, stood up and saluted, and lifted up Old Yu's arms that were saluting.

"Master Ling, please take a seat." Old Yu said to Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan stopped being polite and sat down.

"This brand is really useful." Jiang Xuan thought to himself.

As soon as Jiang Xuan sat down, he said, "There's no need to call me Lord Ling. I'm not here on official business today, so there's no need to call me Ling's personal guard. I'm a junior, so Boss Yu, please feel free to call me whatever you want."

"No, no, I won't. Then I'll call you Ling's personal guard!" Old Yu heard Jiang Xuan say this. Although he felt that the young man in front of him had an easy-going temper, he didn't dare to lose his composure.

Jiang Xuan nodded and stopped arguing with Lao Yu about these trivial matters.

"I wonder what the relationship is between Guard Ling and Brother Jiang?" Old Yu said somewhat embarrassedly.

"We had a chance encounter."

Jiang Xuan finished speaking, looking at Old Yu's expression. Fearing that he might misunderstand, he added, "Maybe he thought I was a personal guard of the Yingzhou City Lord's Mansion and that he could trust me, so he asked me to help him retrieve the brocade robe this time."

"Guard Ling is very friendly! It is really a blessing for the people of Yingzhou!" Old Yu said with a happy face and a rising tone.

"Boss Yu, you're too kind. I really don't deserve it!" Jiang Xuan said a little embarrassedly.

When Old Yu heard Jiang Xuan say this, he smiled. Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he said to Jiang Xuan, "Guard Ling, please wait a moment. I will go get the brocade robe first."

Jiang Xuan nodded, but he was still a little confused.

"From what Lao Yu's apprentice said before, didn't he say that he was afraid that I would go there in the next few days, so he entrusted this matter to him? The meaning of his words seems to be that the brocade robe is in the store. Could it be that the brocade robe is in Lao Yu's home?" Jiang Xuan thought to himself.

"Or is it that even if I go with my original identity, Xiao Yu's words are just a cover, and he never intended to let me take the brocade robe back?"

"But why did he do this?" Jiang Xuan kept thinking in his mind.
