The Regent Princess has run away again

Shijiu shook his head with an ugly look on his face. It seemed that this was not an ordinary poison. If he guessed correctly, it should be Lan Ying.

Blue cherry is colorless, odorless and soluble in water. Although it is a poison, it cannot be detected by silver needles, and there is currently no drug that can antidote this poison.

"Maybe we can ask someone to come over. She should have a solution."

The first person Shijiu thought of was that person, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "You said it was the number one miracle doctor?"

"No, I'm talking about Princess Kang Le."

The excitement in Shijiu's eyes disappeared visibly after he finished speaking. He rolled his eyes without hesitation and said, "You are just asking this old man to die. I admit that she is a good doctor, but I don't think she can cure Lan Ying's poison. If she can, I will just call her Master."

You raised his eyebrows. This was going to be a good show to watch. He found it interesting when he thought about how this brat was reluctant to call the princess "Master".

"Okay, that's what you said, I'll go and invite the princess over right away."

"Humph, you'd better come here within an incense stick of time, otherwise you'll just have to collect the old man's body by then."

You saw that Shijiu still had a sullen face, as if he owed him money.

A few of them jumped out of the yard and headed towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Xue Zhiyu, who had just returned from Deyun Kiln, leaned on the couch. Bai Nuolan thoughtfully poured her a cup of tea: "Princess, this tea is refreshing and thirst-quenching. If you don't mind, you might as well have a taste."

"Miss Bai, you are too polite. Just smelling this tea makes me feel happy. How can I dislike it?"

Xue Zhiyu took the teacup, put it to her nose and smelled it, then took a sip, and the original dryness was indeed reduced.

The carriage soon arrived in front of her new store. When Xue Zhiyu got off the carriage and was about to go in through the back door, she suddenly thought of Bai Nuolan and the others. She turned around and said apologetically, "Miss Bai, I'm really sorry. I have something to do today and may not be able to take you shopping properly. I will find a reliable person to take you shopping tomorrow, so that your trip to the capital will not be in vain."

Bai Nuolan smiled, his green eyes looked bright and sharp under the sunlight.

"It's alright, Princess, go and do what you need to do. Anyway, we two don't like to go out."

Wanwan pursed her lips. No, that was not the case. Nolan really didn't like going out, but she wished she could stay outside all day. It was so boring to stay in the house all the time. Besides, she couldn't do whatever she wanted like she did in the Western Regions. It was so annoying!

After everyone said goodbye, Xue Zhiyu took Xiaoqiu to the back door.

"knock!"

Jun Xian had been guarding the back door. When he heard the knock, he knew it was the princess who came. He quickly opened the door and said, "Princess, you're here."

"Well, is everything okay?"

Jun Xian knew she was referring to the newly recruited employees. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "The five of them are quite dutiful. Apart from asking about some store matters, they didn't ask anything else."

Xue Zhiyu nodded in understanding, looked at Jun Xian's plain face and asked, "Can you do arithmetic?"

“Yes, but not very proficient.”

"That's good. I don't need you to be proficient in arithmetic. You can help me manage the store's accounts."

Jun Xian was stunned. He didn't expect the princess to assign him to be in charge. There was no joy on his face. Instead, he said with a little uneasiness: "Does the princess trust me so much?"

"Trust the people you employ. If you don't trust them, don't employ them. Anyway, as long as you work hard, I won't treat you unfairly," Xue Zhiyu said as she walked inside.

Jun Xian didn't expect her to say that. He lowered his head and muttered to himself, "It's a good saying: trust people when you employ them, and don't employ people if you don't trust them."

The five newly recruited men were now sitting upright and waiting. The hall was so quiet that even their footsteps could be heard clearly.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting. Please briefly introduce yourselves."

Xue Zhiyu took a wooden chair and sat opposite them. She glanced at the people sitting upright and spoke slowly.

One of the men saw that no one spoke, so he swallowed his saliva secretly, stood up and said, "My name is Huang Zhong, and I live on Shitou Street."

"Well, next one."

Xue Zhiyu couldn't help but look at Huang Zhong a few more times.

The man's dark skin showed that he had done hard labor for many years, often being exposed to the sun and rain. He looked like an honest man, but he was not very flexible. As to whether he was as he appeared, it remained to be seen.

Once one of them started, the others didn't back down.

Xue Zhiyu asked Jun Xian to write down their basic information. Seeing that everyone was still cautious, she pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Why? You want me to invite you to sit down?"

"No, no, please calm down, my lady."

They dared not say anything else and sat down one after another, fearing that the princess would get angry and kick them all out.

"Okay, let me tell you about your positions and salaries. Your current position is a waiter, and you will get fifteen taels of silver a month. If you live far away, you can apply for accommodation, and one dinner is included. If you do well, you will have a chance to be promoted. If you want to take a leave, you must explain the reason to the shopkeeper one day in advance. Everyone can take four days off a month, and there will be some small benefits on holidays. At the end of the year, a year-end bonus will be distributed based on the turnover of that year."

This sentence caused quite a stir among the five people. Although they didn't understand some of the words, for them, fifteen taels of silver a month was already a lot. Other restaurants only offered eight taels of silver at most, and that didn't include food and accommodation. The treatment was not as good as that offered by the princess.

Jun Xian was also a little surprised, but he didn't show it obviously.

One of the older men spoke first, his eyes full of caution, and asked carefully, "Is it really that much, fifteen taels of silver?"

Xue Zhiyu nodded: "Since I have made a promise, there is no reason for me to go back on my word. Do you have any other questions?"

"What is a promotion?"

"Promotion means that your current position is temporary. If someone does an outstanding job, I will consider making him a foreman, and his salary and benefits will naturally increase."

As soon as these words came out, they became more and more excited the more they thought about it. They couldn't wait to start working and make sure they could show themselves well in front of their boss.

Seeing that the atmosphere of the transfer was almost ready, Xue Zhiyu changed the subject: "Let me be frank. I never accept people who are cunning and treacherous here. If you are found out, you will be fired immediately and will never be hired again. Of course, you can also report it among yourselves. If it is confirmed to be true, the informant will receive a reward of five taels of silver."

The few of them were originally immersed in joy and excitement, but after hearing what Xue Zhiyu said next, coupled with the expression on her face, it was like a splash of ice water that brought them back to reality.

Huang Zhong quickly took the lead in being loyal and said, "Absolutely not. Although I, Huang Zhong, can't read a few words, I will definitely not be a sneaky person."

"The princess still has me. I will definitely work hard."

"Yes, we are not such ungrateful people."

"Well, let me introduce you first. The person standing next to me is the owner of this store."

Jun Xian was stunned, not quite understanding why the princess asked him to be the shopkeeper. Then he thought about the first thing the princess asked when she came in was whether he knew arithmetic. Could it be that the princess had already made arrangements at that time?

It was not until Xue Zhiyu pushed him that he quickly reacted, cleared his throat, glanced at everyone calmly, took in their expressions, and said slowly: "From now on, I will be the shopkeeper here, you can call me Shopkeeper Jun."

Although it was just a quick glance, they still felt a lot of pressure. Those who originally looked down on him immediately put away their thoughts and no longer dared to look down on the young shopkeeper.

"Well, I have something to do and I'll leave first. If you live far away and it's inconvenient to go back and forth, you can report to Shopkeeper Jun, and Shopkeeper Jun will inform you of the specific start time."

Jun Xian glanced at the five people and said, "You sit down and wait for me for a while. I have something to tell the princess."

"Okay, Shopkeeper Jun."

Under Xue Zhiyu's puzzled gaze, Jun Xian followed her. She knew that this was not a good place to talk, so she had to walk out of the hall and stand under a locust tree in the back yard. She turned around and asked, "Do you have something to talk to me about?"

"...Why did you choose me to be the shopkeeper? I have never done these things before."

"Although it is a bit of a waste of talent to ask you to be the shopkeeper, I really have no one to hire now, so I can only inconvenience you."

Xue Zhiyu sighed, she also knew that Jun Xian really had no use for him, and he was acting on his own without anyone knowing, which made her feel a little guilty.

Jun Xian looked at her steadily, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, but he didn't ask any more questions.

"Well, since you asked me to do it, I will definitely manage it for you."

"Ah, I'm sorry to have wronged you. People like you who know martial arts should do something big instead of doing these trivial things."

Jun Xian smiled bitterly. It didn't matter to him what was a big deal and what was a trivial matter. As long as he was alive, that was enough.

"By the way, if you have time, you can help me find a few chefs with good cooking skills. The waiters and handymen can also help me find them."

"How many people do you need?"

"We only have five waiters now, which is not enough. We need to find at least 20 more, and 10 handymen."

"it is good."

Xue Zhiyu explained some more details before bidding farewell to Jun Xian. After exiting the corner gate, Xiao Qiu, who had been acting as an invisible person, asked, "Miss, where are you going?"

"Why don't we go for a cruise on the lake? I don't have anything particularly important to do anyway."

Xiao Qiu's two round eyes lit up immediately: "Then I will go hire a carriage now. Jingping Lake is also a beautiful place. Many young ladies from official families also go there."

Isn’t that equivalent to a modern internet celebrity check-in spot? Is it really that beautiful?

Seeing the disbelief in her young lady's eyes, Xiao Qiu became anxious and explained quickly: "Miss, what I said is true. There are not only different pleasure boats on Jingping Lake, but also a forest behind it. The flowers blooming at this time are so beautiful and colorful. It is said that His Royal Highness the Regent also often goes boating on the lake." Xiao Qiu lowered her voice at the end.

Xue Zhiyu looked at her gossiping look and realized that what she said before was not the main point, the main point was the latter part.

Xiao Qiu spoke to herself, "His Royal Highness the Regent is very kind, with a noble temperament, gentle and elegant. His every move can really charm many girls. It can be said that he is the husband candidate in the minds of many young ladies from official families."

The girl was getting more and more excited as she spoke, so Xue Zhiyu held her forehead and interrupted her: "Okay, okay, I won't swim in any lake. I'll just go to Jingping Lake. Go and hire a car for me."

"Okay, miss," Xiao Qiu stopped praising the Regent, stuck out her tongue, and turned to look for a carriage.

"Isn't this the Saint's hair? I can meet you here too."

Xue Zhiyu didn't react for a moment until a face as beautiful as a demon came close to her. She subconsciously took a few steps back.

She remembered that this was the god she had summoned.

The man saw her retreating steps, raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but slightly raise the corners of his mouth, making his already charming face even more seductive. If someone with poor self-control saw him like this, they would inevitably blush and their heart would beat fast.

He stood still, as if he had thought of something, and said, "I forgot to say, my name is Xuanji."

Xue Zhiyu didn't expect him to tell her his name suddenly. She felt that the name seemed familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it. She couldn't help but ask in her mind, "007, do you know this person named Xuanji?"

After a long while, 007's voice finally responded to her from her mind.

"know."

007 was more than just an acquaintance, he was very familiar with him, and he was devastated inside.

Who could tell him why this guy came down to the mortal world instead of staying in heaven? He wanted to rush out and throw this guy back to heaven.

Xuanji saw that she still didn't respond, so she walked over and knocked on her head: "Are you stupid? What are you thinking about?"

"No, nothing, I just think your name is nice, it sounds nice."

"Really?"

"Yes, yes, it suits you very well."

Watching the way she answered, Xuan Ji seemed to see that person. She answered herself in the same way, as perfunctorily as possible, and a strange look flashed across her eyes involuntarily.

"Miss, I found the carriage....Hey, who is this, Miss?"

Xiao Qiu got out of the carriage and just as she finished speaking, she saw the man sitting opposite the young lady. After seeing his face, only four words flashed through her mind.

A peerless handsome man.
