Dressed as a top-notch girl, leading the whole village to become rich
Chapter 69: Brother 2 is Poisoned
After listening to Ye Cheng's truthful statement, Ye Lao Er wanted to slap him twice, but Ye Guo had an expression as if he was listening to gossip.
Seeing that her second brother's face had turned blue, she stuck out her tongue and said, "Anyway, no one saw what happened to Ah Cheng, so just pretend it never happened."
"Even if you find out by accident, just deny it even if you're beaten to death. After all, you should repay the favor of saving your life with your own body~"
Ye Cheng's face turned red with anger. He put the money he had exchanged on the table and left without looking back.
How shameless! Ye Guo raised her eyebrows and pulled awkwardly at her new light green dress.
This piece of clothing is more real than the ones in TV dramas. It is really troublesome to wear. It looks good, but it is not breathable at all. I just took a shower and it feels like all my efforts were wasted.
"Brother, Xiaowan and I will go shopping tomorrow morning, and then we will go to the fields in the suburbs to have a look in the afternoon."
"I heard there are still a lot of Futian in the suburbs, I can go and help out when the time comes."
The so-called blessed land is the land owned by the Buddhist temple. Most Buddhist believers will take the initiative to undertake some work within their ability.
There are many schools of thought in Daqing culture, but the main theme is that whatever the author needs, there is always something for him.
However, the mainstream idea is that Buddhism is the Tao and rituals and laws are supreme.
"Of course I'll listen to my second brother." Ye Guo had no objection to this.
Ye Lao Er knew that his little sister had always had a deep connection with Taoism, so he continued, "There is also a large Taoist temple there. You can go there to ask for a fortune or something."
Ye Guo laughed when he heard this, "You want me to go to the Taoist temple to draw lots? Second brother, you must be joking. The masters will definitely ask me what lot I want and give me that lot."
"Masters, this is also for your own good." Ye Laoer said helplessly. Taoism adheres to the principle of following the laws of nature and governing by inaction. What else can he ask for?
The book-traveling person Ye Guo said that her main focus is still farming.
The next day, when they woke up naturally, Uncle Chen and Ye Wan were the only ones left in the house.
"Aunt, Second Uncle went out early in the morning and specifically told me that Uncle Sun had booked a private room at Jinzun Pavilion for lunch."
Ye Guo was eating the sweet and refreshing millet and pumpkin porridge. Before he could reply, he heard Uncle Chen's shocked voice beside him.
"Jinzun Pavilion? That's the best restaurant in Lingnan Prefecture. It's said that private rooms need to be booked a month in advance."
"Boss Sun is so generous. Miss Ye, you must try the sweet and sour pig's trotters there. They are stewed until tender and tasty, perfect for summer."
After swallowing the porridge in his mouth, Ye Guo really missed Aunt Li's pickled cabbage. It would be so refreshing to have a plate of it at this time.
But it’s also good with big meat buns. If it can be made into xiaolongbao, it might be more suitable for a delicate pig girl like her.
Ye Guo was eating with his mouth full of oil, and he did not forget to agree with Ye Bo, "Hearing what you said, I am almost drooling with greed, I can't wait to go now."
Uncle Chen was flattered and said, "It's useless for you to go now. Jinzunlou will only open for business at noon. Because of the curfew, it will close in the evening."
There's still a curfew?
It was the first time Ye Guo had heard of it, so he asked in detail.
So you know, the curfew in Daqing usually starts at 1:30 am and is lifted at 5:30 am.
It is approximately from 8:00 p.m. to 4:20 a.m. the next day in modern times.
For Ye Guo who goes to bed early and gets up late, there is really no impact.
After breakfast, she and Ye Wan got on a carriage. The driver was Uncle Chen's son, and there was another person, who was the shopkeeper sent by Sun Qian.
Ye Guo had seen the one he brought when he was doing soap business with Boss Sun.
Last time he was just an accountant, but now he has been promoted to shopkeeper.
"Shopkeeper Yang, sorry to bother you." Ye Guo greeted politely.
Shopkeeper Yang was tall and thin, and still kept the habit of carrying an abacus with him. His white satin gown was the same as before, making Ye Guo feel as if he had returned to Santan Market.
Lingnan is indeed an economic and cultural center. There are two or three streets selling all kinds of things girls need.
Shopping is every girl’s nature. They keep buying and buying and can’t stop at all.
Ye Wan, who was following beside, was only responsible for trying on the clothes, trying them on, and then carrying the package.
Shopkeeper Yang is just a tool, responsible for bargaining and paying.
We had lunch at Jinzunlou, but Boss Sun had something urgent to do and would be here later.
Jinzunlou is worthy of being the best restaurant in Lingnan. Every detail is exquisite, even the serving bowls are painted with gold lines.
In addition to brothels, restaurants are also places where news gathers.
Seeing that no one had arrived yet, Ye Laoer did not enter the private room first. He drank the free tea at a seat by the window, listening carefully with his ears pricked up. It was difficult to tell the true and false of the various news coming from all directions.
He was just a boy, but he had basic political literacy and would not talk about national affairs easily.
But what was strange was that the news he heard the most was that Daqing was going to adopt the salt permit system.
This is not good news.
Salt permits refer to the salt transportation and marketing license issued by the Salt Transport Bureau, which is the first step in the transaction. On the surface, it is to regulate the market, but in fact, it is to increase the revenue of the national treasury.
After hearing almost all the news, Ye Lao Er went upstairs and entered a large private room that could accommodate twenty people.
The waiter told me that there is a minimum consumption amount here, so even the tea is the rare Jin Jun Mei.
Ye Guo came at this time and brought someone who shouldn’t be here... Ye Xuan.
The five people took their seats one after another, and after greeting each other, Ye Xuan's face became solemn.
"Why are you here?" Ye Laoer felt inexplicably uneasy. When he tried to pick up the teacup, his fingertips were burned.
Ye Xuan wanted to ask the same question. He took the tea from Xiao Er but did not drink it. Instead, he turned to look at Ye Guo and said, "Xiao Guo, what are you doing in Lingnan? The food in Jinzunlou is not cheap."
Ye Xuan could see clearly that everyone in that family centered around the little girl.
Ye Guo laughed, "I just came here to see it, and I will go back to Yejia Village in two days."
Ye Xuan believed this, but he was not naive enough to believe it completely. "Why didn't I hear that you were coming to Lingnan when I left?"
Ye Guo met the person by chance, so he thought that it was a rare opportunity to meet an old friend in a foreign place, so he might as well have a meal together. Anyway, Uncle Sun never cared about such things.
Who knew that as soon as he sat down, he would be asked all kinds of questions. Ye Guo didn't like to hear this, so he handed the menu to Ah Cheng and motioned him to ask the waiter to order more dishes. Then he slumped his back and lay on the table and started talking.
"Ye Xuan, if you are invited to eat, then eat. If you don't want to eat, please leave."
Ye Xuan was so angry that he lost his temper. He was still thinking about the salt permit. "Who did you come with? You have nothing to do with Lingnan Chamber of Commerce, right?"
"Lingnan Chamber of Commerce? Uncle Sun seems to be a member of the Chamber of Commerce, what's wrong?"
Just when she was curious and wanted to ask, she suddenly heard the sound of a teacup falling to the ground, and Ye Cheng's helpless cry, "Second Uncle, what's wrong with you? Aunt... Is Second Uncle poisoned?"
Ye Guo and Ye Xuan looked up instinctively and saw that Ye Lao Er had blood coming out of the corner of his mouth and was lying powerlessly in Ye Cheng's arms. He was already unconscious.
When the people in the restaurant heard about the poisoning, they were in complete chaos. Some kind-hearted people even ran towards the county government office.
What to do? What should she do?
Ye Guo never thought that the accident would come so suddenly.
