There were no passers-by around the alley. Mu Juzheng threw the strong man to the ground, but he did not wake up. Situ Xi looked at his injuries and then stepped forward to test his breathing. He just fainted temporarily and should be

You will wake up after a while.

"You said 'these people'? What about the others?"

"They were all knocked unconscious by X. Your Highness was not here. I didn't know what to do, so I tied them up, not far away."

"How many people are there in total? Did you solve them all by yourself?"

"Seven people, but I have confirmed that they all only carried wooden long and short sticks. They probably never thought of hurting my life."

"Could they be some hooligans?"

"It's not like these people have practiced."

Leaning against the wall with his hands folded, Situ Xi asked Mu Juzheng about the specific situation while lowering his head and looking at the man.

Someone wanted to cause trouble for him, but they didn't dare to go directly to him, and it seemed that the person knew about the relationship between him and Mu Juzheng.

Who could it be? He has had very little contact with Mu Juzheng recently, and not many people should know about their situation. However, some senior officials should be able to get some information through the Xuan'an Mansion Office, but if these people want to find him

If you are in trouble, you probably won’t use such means.

Speaking of which, when they picked up Mu Juzheng a few days ago, he said someone was following them...

"Your Highness, how should we deal with it?" Mu Juzheng saw Situ Xi being silent. He took out a steamed bun from the package, put it to his mouth and took a bite.

Stopping his thoughts, Situ Xi took two steps, patted the dust on his back and walked toward the entrance of the alley.

"You go back and guard these seven people. I will go to the Duke's Mansion again."

Situ Xi planned to leave this matter to Zhong Liyi to investigate. He was on duty in Xuan inspection, so professional matters had to be left to professionals. He was really in urgent need of manpower.

The word "proton" seems to be inherently equated with "weak and weak".

…

"Dad, you have been sitting here for almost an hour, what are you thinking about?"

The sake restaurant on Yupan Street was still not open for business today. Zhang Yuer looked at her father sitting on a bench with an expression that alternated between happiness and sadness, and she was quite worried about his condition.

The fact that the sake restaurant won the first place at the Spring Food Festival has long been spread on Yupan Street. In the past two days, many customers came in front of the store and asked when the restaurant would open.

And given Lao Zhangtou's character, since he didn't choose to open the business as soon as possible to show off to the neighbors, it was naturally because he had other considerations.

One of the reasons is that after officials of the Department of Fine Food learned that several important figures from Li were particularly fond of the cakes made by the sake restaurant, they asked him to continue cooking some for the envoys at the upcoming Flower Festival.

Dishes.

The second reason is that he is holding in his hand the book sent by Situ Xi this morning.

"Jade Wine House... My daughter, please read it to Dad again. Is this restaurant really going to be opened in Dongshi? Or will it be run by the two of us?" Old Zhangtou couldn't read a few big characters. When he heard Zhang Yu'er's shouting, he asked again

He quickly waved to her to take the book and read it for herself.

"Dad, this is indeed what is written in the book, but this Jade Winery seems to be not just a restaurant, but more like an inn. It also has guest rooms, a drink room, and a stage for this speech book."

"Young Master wants us to slowly prepare for the purchase of Jade Winery first, but the specific matters must be discussed with this businessman named Fan Yong."

Zhang Yuer took the thick stack of paper and looked through it again, confirming with her father what he asked about. She was also confused about some words in the book, such as "chain operation", but in this booklet

I also wrote that this will be covered later.

"Okay, okay, I didn't expect that I, Zhang Shu, would be successful one day. I must help Brother Xi handle this matter beautifully!"

Shopkeeper Zhang was extremely excited, and when he mentioned Situ Xi, he felt a little emotional. Thanks to his extraordinary eyesight, he could tell at a glance that Brother Xi was different from ordinary people, so he did not miss this noble man.

However, this small restaurant of ours has received too many favors from him recently, so we must try our best to repay him.

Shopkeeper Zhang actually still doesn’t know Situ Xi’s true identity. In fact, the name Situ Xi has been very popular in Xuan’an recently, and the preface he left behind at the poetry club that day is being recited in the city even now.

scattered.

But the elegant literary wind has blown through the academy and the palace documents, but has not yet come to the small restaurant here.

However, no matter what status Brother Xi is, he is an unattainable noble person to me. It is enough to know this.

Thinking of this, shopkeeper Zhang suddenly sat up from his chair and walked out the door excitedly.

"Yu'er, you go ahead and make some fresh cakes in the restaurant. Dad, I'm going to Dongshi. First I have to see what the environment is like around the future restaurant."

…

Qia Shui Bian, Linjiang House.

In Qingyu's room, she was lying on the bed at the moment, her cheeks were red, her brows were furrowed, and her face was bitter.

The thick quilt tightly wrapped her slender body, and Zhongli was soaking a handkerchief in hot water to wipe the fine beads of sweat on her forehead.

"Miss, I'm fine. I've already taken the medicine. I just need to sleep for a while and I'll be fine."

The weak voice made Zhongli Xin feel a little distressed. She touched Qingyu's right hand and felt a chill when she touched it.

"Did you not cover yourself with quilts last night? It rained later and the weather got a little cooler."

"I accidentally got caught in the rain last night in the courtyard... I thought it would be fine."

Hearing Zhong Li's surprised question, her whispering voice became much softer. She boasted that she had a strong constitution and had not felt the cold for many years. Unexpectedly, she only got drizzle for a moment last night, and when she woke up the next day, she felt her forehead was warm.

It's hot and my head feels dizzy.

In the morning, she went to see a nearby doctor and prescribed some medicine. After Zhongli Xin supervised her taking it, her condition was slightly better at the moment.

"It was already late at night when it rained. Why did you go to the courtyard outside the door?" Zhongli was a little strange. Yesterday, she obviously watched Qingyu go to bed before returning to the room. This girl always sleeps peacefully, so why did she wake up so late at night last night?

stand up.

"Ah, I also heard that it was raining...so I thought I would go out and have a look. Maybe there are some uncollected clothes to dry."

Somehow, Zhongli Min suddenly noticed that after Qingyu answered this question, her cheeks became even more rosy, and she worriedly reached out to touch Qingyu's forehead.

"Ahem, uncle, you are back."

The cloth door curtain was suddenly lifted, and Qingyu happened to see Situ Xi walking into the room. He coughed quickly and wanted to sit up to say hello to him.

After hearing Qingyu's call, Zhongli Min quickly stood up and turned her head to look at Situ Xi. However, after she and Situ Xi looked at each other for a moment, she looked away slightly shyly.

"Mr. Qingyu caught a cold last night. He has already seen the doctor and said he needs to rest for a few days."
