45. Half-faced man

The brother and sister stepped into a decent restaurant and went straight upstairs. Ming Xixi glanced at the lobby downstairs and upstairs. There were very few diners at this time. Most of them were sitting around drinking tea and chatting. Going straight to the third floor, no waiters came.

When asked, Ming Xiulei explained: "I have been here several times, and the housekeeper Tan told me that when the master of the Ming Mansion comes, I don't recognize him."

The third floor was simple and quiet. Tan Jun was talking to the cashier when a waiter came in and said, "Master Tan, the fourth young master is here."

"Oh, let him wait in the reception room." Tan Jun continued to talk to the accountant for a while, then ended the conversation and walked to the reception room. Before entering the door, a particularly pleasant little girl's voice floated out from inside, and four words

The young master's voice.

"Fourth Young Master, I'm sorry, I have something to deal with just now." Tan Jun walked into the reception room and said to Ming Xiulei with a slightly apologetic smile. His eyes immediately glanced at the little girl next to him, wearing white and pink clothes with small patterns.

Wearing children's shoes of the same color, her hair is in a small curved bun with double flowers, her face is fair and pink, flawless, her facial features are exquisitely matched and perfectly matched, especially her pair of child-like eyes, which are as deep as stars, but also feel hazy.

It doesn’t look real. It’s particularly fascinating.

"Talk about the housekeeper." Ming Xiulei stood up with a respectful and polite expression. Ming Xixi also stood up and looked curiously at the man in dark green shirt in front of him. He was about fifty years old, with fair complexion, and neither face nor figure was fat.

Thin, of moderate height, clear facial features, and neat eyebrows. He thought to himself: Talking about the butler looks much more pleasing to the eye than working about the butler.

Tan Jun was moved. After three years of not seeing each other, the fifth lady has grown taller and has become more delicate and beautiful. He said with a smile: "The fifth lady is well. How is the eldest lady?"

Ming Xixi was slightly surprised and replied: "Mom is very good. Thank you for your thoughtfulness in talking about the housekeeper."

Tan Jun chuckled, sat down across from the two of them, and said: "My eldest wife treated me well, but it's a pity that I couldn't persuade the master back then... It's over, so don't mention it. Now that the fifth lady is back, it can be seen that the master has softened his mind.

Turn around. I wonder if the fourth young master and the fifth young lady are here for dinner or something else?"

Ming Xiulei then said: "Tan Butler, I will bring Fifth Sister over to try the signature dishes in the building. Fifth Sister, do you want to pack it back or eat before leaving?"

Ming Xixi said: "Pack it back and let Sister Hua'er and the others have a try." Ming Xiulei said to Tan Jun: "Then pack three copies and I will bring one back to mother." Tan Jun called the waiter,

Send word that the kitchen will be cooking soon. Ming Xiulei said again: "Talking to the housekeeper, if dad asks about today, just say that my fifth sister Shen Shichu and I came here to pack up and go back."

Tan Jun looked at the clock and saw that it was the end of the day. Didn't this teach him to lie? He asked in confusion: "Fourth Young Master, what happened?"

"Fourth brother, let's tell Butler Tan what happened." Ming Xixi said in a low voice. Ming Xiulei nodded and recounted what happened at Jingtai Restaurant. After Tan Jun listened, he couldn't help but said angrily: "That Fan

The family relies on the support of Queen Ji, causing trouble everywhere in the capital, but the people dare to be angry but dare not speak out. The Fan family has come here several times to eat for free." He then said worriedly, "The fifth prince was also present at what happened today.

, I’m just afraid there will be trouble later.”

Ming Xiulei said: "There is no need to worry about the housekeeper. The fifth prince has rushed back to the palace to ask the third prince for help. As long as the third prince is present, the Fan family will not be able to file a complaint."

Tan Jun nodded and analyzed: "It's best if the third prince is willing to help. If this matter spreads, no one will believe that a child of a few years old can bully Miss Fan. Besides, the common people can see what the Fan family does.

Because, no matter from every aspect, the Fan family is unreasonable. What I’m worried about is that the Fan family won’t be able to file a lawsuit, and they will do something dirty behind the scenes.”

"Use a dirty trick?" Ming Xiulei was stunned, while Ming Xixi was excited in her heart. Yes, those who take advantage of others like to play dirty tricks. It is easy to dodge open spears and hard to prevent hidden arrows.

Tan Jun comforted the two of them and said: "You don't have to worry too much. I will try to block it. I am highly valued by the emperor, and the emperor should know right from wrong."

After the food was cooked in the kitchen and divided into three portions, Tan Jun found a soft sedan to take the two young masters back home. After watching the sedan walk for a while, Tan Jun returned to the third floor and knocked twice on the door at the end.

."Come in." A young and melodious voice came from the door.

Tan Jun pushed the door in, closed the door lightly, walked towards the masked man sitting at the table, reading a book, and briefly explained what had just happened. The man was wearing half a silver mask, and the half of his face exposed was very handsome, with facial skin.

It was a healthy wheat color. After a moment of silence, he put down the book in his hand and said in a hoarse voice, "For what the Fan family has done, someone should step in and suppress their arrogance. There is no need to worry about this matter. What's new in the Ming Dynasty recently?"

"Some strange things did happen in the Ming Mansion. The correctional nanny Liu sent by the second wife to the fifth lady was said to be possessed by evil spirits. The new correctional nun, Zhao, refused to live in Bixianyuan.

The second lady's valuables were stolen inexplicably, and there are no clues to be found. The strangest thing is that the fifth prince personally delivered palace delicacies to the fifth lady." Tan Jun recounted the recent events one by one.

The half-faced man said "Oh" and said softly: "Can we find out why the eldest lady doesn't come back?"

Tan Jun said: "Speaking of this, it is even more surprising. According to the news returned from the detective, it was the fifth lady who dissuaded the eldest lady from coming back, and the eldest lady also followed the fifth lady's suggestion and stayed in Hancheng."

"Hmm... It's really surprising." The half-faced man seemed to be thinking, "Uncle Tan, how is Fifth Miss?"

Tan Jun was slightly startled. What he just saw came to his mind. After thinking for a moment, he said: "The fifth lady is more exquisite and beautiful than three years ago. No matter how beautiful or charming she is, she is astonishing to the heavens. The time of contact just now is too short, so I can't say what happened."

different."

"Okay, I understand. Go ahead and get busy." Half of the half-faced man's eyes raised an imperceptible smile. He has been relatively free recently, and it's time for him to find something to relieve his boredom.
