Shen Qiaochen's smile made Nan Xing a little stunned.

He took off the hood on his head, his soft hair fell down, and his whole body was wrapped in a big crane cloak, only revealing a small face as big as a palm.

The girl in front of her is about thirteen or fourteen years old. Although she is dressed as a man, her hair is long and disheveled, and her appearance is uneven, Shen Qiaochen's smile is soft, her eyes are pure, and the sincerity in her eyes seems to be seen through. human heart.

Nan Xing is an orphan and was trained to follow his master.

People like them know from an early age that they exist for their masters.

But it is not that easy to stand out among countless peers, even men.

They have undergone all kinds of arduous training since they were young, and have made many helpless choices in order to survive.

They have always existed as shadows, and their lives have never been cared about by others.

But Xiao Jue is not such a person. Nan Xing thinks that he is lucky enough to be able to follow a master like Xiao Jue.

But he didn't expect that besides his master, there would be people like Shen Qiaochen in this world. Just because he said a word of comfort, a rich lady like her could say "thank you" to him.

Over the years, Nanxing has seen many noble ladies during missions, but they all turned a blind eye to people like him.

Those ladies of the world usually look dignified and polite, but the more noble their status is, the worse their attitude towards their servants is in private, leaving them with nothing but a beautiful skin.

But this is different for the fourth girl of the Shen Mansion. What happened at the palace banquet yesterday has long been spread among their secret guards. Thanks to Jiang Fengmian's gossipy nature, Shen Qiaochen's life information has been collected early. Very detailed.

All the secret guards were very curious about this legitimate daughter of the Shen family who could make their master treat her differently.

Today, precisely because of Nan Xing's identity as a woman, she had the opportunity to stay with Shen Qiaochen and get up close and personal with the legendary fourth girl of the Shen family.

It has to be said that Nan Xing's cold heart softened for the first time in front of her, who was the legitimate daughter of the Shen family who was different from the information.

Lowering his head in embarrassment, Nan Xing murmured softly: "No...it's nothing."

Shen Qiaochen was still looking at her with a smile. Her smile at the moment was not the deliberately harmless one in front of others. I wonder if it was because Nan Xing was Xiao Jue's person.

Shen Qiaochen suddenly realized that Xiao Jue seemed to be able to see through his disguise easily from the first meeting...

Thinking of something, Shen Qiao asked blankly: "Since your master asked you to accompany me upstairs, who will get the clothes?"

Could it be Xiao Jue...

Nan Xing was a little puzzled and said casually: "It must be someone else. I am not the only one following the master tonight."

…

After saying that, I saw Shen Qiaochen's expression, and suddenly thought of something, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

After being silent for a while, Nan Xing hesitated and said: "Fourth girl, otherwise, I'd better go and take a look."

After saying that, she turned around and opened the door and left in a hurry without waiting for Shen Qiaochen to nod.

But the next second, there were knocks on the door. Shen Qiaochen came back to her senses and went to open the door, only to find that it was Nan Xing who left and returned.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing... Miss Fourth, I'll go downstairs to take a look and I'll be back soon. You must stay in the room and don't wander around. I'll ask the clerk to take care of you."

Seeing Shen Qiao nodded, Nan Xing turned around again and strode away.

Shen Qiaochen closed the door and returned to the room. She just wanted to see if there was anything edible. After the whole night, she already felt hungry.

Before she could find it, she heard someone knocking on the door again.

So soon... Could it be that Nan Xing is back?

Shen Qiaochen walked to the door, but did not open the door in a hurry. She asked in a deep voice: "Who is it?"

The person outside the door paused for a moment before whispering: "Is this Miss Shen in the room?" The last four words were spoken so softly that if Shen Qiaochen hadn't been so close, he might not have been able to hear them clearly.

"Who are you?"

"The younger one is with Mr. Ji. Mr. Ji knows that the girl is here and would like to ask you to come over and talk."

Shen Qiao was also overjoyed when she heard this. She was looking for a chance to meet Ji Qingyuan today, and it happened to be a coincidence.

"Where is Mr. Ji?"

The person outside the room responded: "It's on the seventh floor."

Zuijiangyue has seven floors in total. The first floor is the lobby, the second and third floors are private rooms, and the fourth to sixth floors are guest-only rooms.

The seventh floor is the shopkeeper's private space and is never open to the public.

During this period of time, although Shen Qiaochen did not come to Zuijiangyue in person, she had been in contact with Ji Qingyuan through letters.

She naturally knows these things too.

So Shen Qiaochen opened the door and saw a young child waiting outside.

The boy looked about twelve or thirteen years old, about the same height as Shen Qiaochen, with delicate features and a very smart appearance.

"Wait. " Xiao Jue's voice sounded.

Shen Qiaochen thought he still had something to say, so he stopped and looked at him questioningly.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Jue let out a long sigh, and under Nan Xing's surprised gaze, slowly approached Shen Qiaochen, slowly raised his hand, put the hood of Shen Qiaochen back on, and then patted her again. her head,

"Go. "

…

Does your head look easy to pat? Otherwise, why would someone always like to pat her head?

After being speechless for a moment, Shen Qiao gave Xiao Jue a blank look, turned around and left with Nan Xing waiting at the door.

Since meeting Ji Qingyuan last time, Shen Qiaochen has never been to Zuijiangyue again. On the one hand, he has not made time for it, and on the other hand, it is also because of his sincerity and trust in Ji Qingyuan.

So now, most of the dignitaries in Beijing only know that Zui Jiangyue has suddenly changed its business model, but they don't know that this place has also quietly changed its owner at the same time.

Of course, whether everyone knows it or not is not within the scope of Shen Qiaochen's consideration for the time being.

Nan Xing led the way, and Shen Qiaochen followed behind. When he went upstairs, he looked downstairs and saw that for just a moment, there seemed to be more guests in Zuijiangyue than before.

The private rooms on the second and third floors also have their doors closed. Occasionally, people can be heard passing by, and some even have servants dressed as guards guarding the door.

Because of the farce just now, Shen Qiaochen really didn't want to attract more attention. Fortunately, the people around Xiao Jue seemed to be considerate and seemed to be very familiar with Zui Jiangyue's structural route. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he chose someone There are few places to travel.

So much so that when they arrived at the door of the room Xiao Jue mentioned on the fifth floor, apart from those working in the store, they had not seen many people along the way.

Nan Xing pushed the door open first and checked carefully before asking Shen Qiaochen to come in.

Shen Qiaochen walked into the room and saw that the layout of this room was completely different from that of the private room downstairs.

Most of the elegant rooms on the second and third floors are open to the public all year round, so the appearance inside is roughly the same, mainly elegant and clean.

Most of the rooms on the third floor and above belong to one person for a long time, so the style of the furniture inside is based on the guest's preferences.
