Although they decided to mind their own business, they couldn't let the beggar go for the time being, lest he leak the news and make Ren Shu suspicious of them.
Next, Chunfen followed the suggestions of Li Yan and Chu Run and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the decoration of the store. With the previous experience in Liuzhou, everything went very smoothly this time, whether it was decoration or opening, just like in Liuzhou.
This time they still gave priority to the old, weak, sick and disabled refugees to work in the teahouse. Firstly, they can arouse the sympathy of customers. Secondly, these people are not suitable to work on the dock, and only the teahouse can accept them.
.
After finishing the opening matter, more than half a month has passed. Shi Chunfen and others will stay here for a few more days before setting off to return to Liuzhou. Before they go back, Ren Shu once again hosted a banquet for them, saying that he wanted to thank them.
They helped the refugees find jobs.
Shi Chunfen and others arrived at the appointment on time. This banquet was still held in the prefect's mansion, and they happened to be planning to bid farewell to Ren Shu.
In addition to them, Weng Zhenhai was also invited. The three of them sat down at the same time, and Ren Shu was obviously in a good mood.
"I have really worked hard on you during this period. The tea house has been opened smoothly, the construction of the wharf is also proceeding in an orderly manner, some of the victims have been resettled, and the streets of Shuzhou City are also much cleaner. All of this is
I rely on your help." Ren Shu raised his glass and said excitedly.
"Sir Ren's words are serious." Weng Zhenhai clasped his hands and said politely: "The Caobang's successful construction of the wharf in Shuzhou depends entirely on the support of Mr. Ren. I will still have many places to trouble you in the future."
"Yes." Chu Run agreed: "The same is true for the Chu family. In the future, we will have to ask adults to help us with our business in Shuzhou."
Compared to their compliments, Shi Chunquin seemed much indifferent. Not only did she not echo their words, she also kept her head down and fiddled with the chopsticks beside the bowl.
Ren Shu noticed something was wrong with her and quickly said, "Why don't you speak, the eldest young lady?"
Shi Chunfen was caught off guard when her name was called. Before she could answer, she heard Chu Run beside her come to her rescue and said: "The lobby sister-in-law has been busy with the opening of the tea house these days and hasn't had much rest. I think she was so tired that she became confused.
I'm a little distracted, I hope you don't mind."
"That's it." Ren Shu nodded slightly and looked at her again. Seeing that her face was indeed much more haggard than before, he kindly said: "If the eldest young lady wants to rest, you can go to the guest room after lunch.
Take a nap."
Shichun suddenly moved and quickly agreed, "Okay."
After simply eating something, she got up and left the table, following her servants to the guest room to rest.
On the way to the guest room, she couldn't help but ask: "Last time we made a big fuss in the prefect's mansion and accidentally blew up some things in the mansion. I wonder if it affected the adults' rest?"
"Grandma, you are worrying too much." The servant quickly replied: "Our master's bedroom is in the backyard, far away from the front yard. Unless you blow up the entire prefect's mansion, it will not affect him.
of."
"I see." Shi Chunquin said with a smile, "Then I'll be relieved."
She looked around in the surrounding direction and said casually: "How long until we get to the guest room?"
The servant quickly replied: "Come on, the guest room is on the left side of the backyard, only a few steps away from the adult's bedroom."
"Oh." Shi Chunfen raised his eyebrows and finally found out the direction.
The servant took her and Li Yan to the guest room and quickly left voluntarily, leaving them to rest in the guest room.
Li Yan closed the door, quickly turned to look at Shi Chunquin, and said worriedly: "Grandma, you just asked him questions, did you mean to..."
"I just want to see if the real prefect is in his bedroom." Shi Chunquin said bluntly: "It's such a rare opportunity, why not go and find out the truth?"
"No." Li Yan objected: "If he finds out, not only will we not be able to save people, but it will also affect our business in Shuzhou."
"No." Shi Chunfen said confidently: "I have already thought of a countermeasure. If he finds out, I will say that I was angry with him for his frivolous words before, so I deliberately went to his bedroom to cause trouble. With his temper, he should not be too much.
think."
"But..." Li Yan was still a little worried, "The fact that he can replace the real governor with a fake one shows that he is not an easy person to deal with. Why should we take risks for a stranger?"
"I just don't want that person to completely lose hope of living." Shi Chunfen said bluntly: "To compare with others, if we encounter such a thing, we must also hope that someone will save us. Even if we can't help, at least
It is also necessary to find the governor and tell him that someone will come to save him and let him continue to persevere, rather than completely losing hope."
Li Yan curled her lips, "What if that prefect is a corrupt official?"
Seeing that she was now completely on the side of the fake prefect, Shi Chunfen shook her head in a funny way, "We won't know until we meet him to see if he is a corrupt official. If that person is a good official, wouldn't we be scheming for him?"
Seeing her persistence, Li Yan also knew that it would be difficult for him to persuade her anymore, so he had to compromise, "In this case, we have to go there early. While there is no one in the backyard, let's go back quickly to avoid being discovered.
.”
"Okay." Shi Chunfen agreed.
The two of them slipped out of the guest room and went straight to Ren Shu's room. In fact, his bedroom was quite easy to find. Looking at the entire backyard, the largest and most spacious room was obviously his bedroom.
At the spring equinox, Li Yan asked Li Yan to guard the door and quickly walked in.
Different from what she imagined, Ren Shu's bedroom was much more elegant than his appearance. The wall that he saw at first sight when he entered the door was covered with various folding fans. In addition, his
There are either official documents or swords in the bedroom, but there is nothing special about it.
Shi Chunquin turned around and quickly noticed the back of the bookshelf. Different from the ordinary bookshelf, the gap between the bookshelf and the wall in Ren Shu's room was obviously much larger than other places. Could it be that the secret room hiding the true eunuch was behind the bookshelf?
?
Shi Chunquin thought for a while, and quickly stepped forward to push the bookshelf away. Sure enough, a dark wall appeared behind it. He pushed the dark wall open and walked in. Inside was a secret room.
Unfortunately, this secret room was locked with a chain, and it was impossible to enter without a key.
Shi Chunquin didn't dare to stay here too long. He wrote down the style of the lock on the chain and quickly left.
She pushed the bookshelf back to its original position and carefully checked the things she had moved to make sure nothing was exposed. Then she walked out of the room and followed Li Yan back to the guest room.
