Thinking of this, Jiang Hexi sighed quietly and suddenly felt a little headache. After all, Huo Jingchen had helped her a lot. How could she remain indifferent knowing that his fiancée was in trouble? But she didn't know what happened that caused Zhao Xu to...
After all, his death is only briefly mentioned in the book.
"Girl, when is your birthday? Can I give you a big haircut gift then?" Liuying excitedly took Jiang Hexi's hand and smiled, waking up Jiang Hexi who was stunned.
Jiang Hexi came back to her senses, smiled at Liuying, and after thinking about the birth date of the original owner, she said softly: "Okay, then I will thank you first. My birthday is December 12th."
"I remember!" Liuying smiled and nodded.
"Then when are your birthdays? I haven't even asked you how old you are." Jiang Hexi helped Liu Ying lift up a strand of hair that was hanging down and looked at the two of them with crooked eyebrows.
Hearing this, Liu Ying looked a little downcast and said softly: "We are all children taken in by the Duke of Guo. I don't remember my birthday anymore. Uncle Huo said that the day I entered the Duke's mansion was my birthday, and that day was March.
I remember it very clearly on the sixth day of the lunar month. Like Xing Luo, I am now sixteen."
"I remember that my birthday was on the third day of May. Jingyun and I used to live in a small village near Beidi, but when I was four years old, Jingyun was a neighbor's child."
"People from Beidi came to burn and plunder our village. My mother put Jingyun and I into a water tank to escape. Later, when the Duke of Guo led people to rescue us, he found us two and took us back.
Duke's Mansion, it's a pity that there are only two of us left in the village." Xing Luo almost muttered, with deep sadness in his eyes.
Jiang Hexi hugged the two of them distressedly, patted their shoulders gently, and said with a smile: "I made a note of it, and I will also celebrate your birthdays in the future."
"Thank you, girl!" the two said in unison, looking at each other and smiling, which dispelled the sadness just now.
"Girl, speaking of which, I'm one year older than you!" Liu Ying thought of something and looked at Jiang Hexi proudly, shaking her head.
"Sister Liuying, sister Xingluo is well, my sister is being polite!" Jiang Hexi said hello to the two of them with cupped fists like Liuying did, her almond-shaped eyes full of slyness.
"Girl, you can't do that!" Xing Luo glared at Liu Ying and said hurriedly.
Liuying stuck out her tongue playfully, hid behind Jiang Hexi and made a face at Xingluo, her face full of mischief.
Xing Luo was unconvinced and tried to bypass Jiang Hexi and catch Liu Ying, but she nimbly dodged him.
The two of them chased and quarreled around the grape trellis, with a rare happy smile on Xing Luo's face.
Suddenly, the whole courtyard was filled with laughter and laughter, and a subtle fragrance floated on the tip of my nose.
Seeing the rare joy between the two of them, Jiang Hexi couldn't bear to interrupt them. She looked up at the sky, guessing that Jiang Heyun and Jiang Hexuan were about to finish school, so she quietly walked to the kitchen to cook.
In the steamy afternoon, after Jiang Hexi finished her busy work in the workshop, she rushed to Chunjiang Restaurant and checked the new month's ledger.
"Master, you're here. I've put the account books in the private room for you." As soon as Wang Shengjie saw Jiang Hexi coming in, he immediately put down what he was doing and went to greet her.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work recently. I've been busy greeting Mr. Zhao and doing things in the wine shop during this period, so I haven't come here much." Jiang Hexi smiled apologetically at him and followed his humility and stepped up the steps.
.
"My boss is now the Lord of Chunxi County who has been personally appointed by the emperor. Even the county magistrate has to respect this! Since my boss became the Lord of the County, no one in our restaurant dares to make trouble anymore." Wang Shengjie laughed so hard that his wrinkles
He came out and looked at Jiang Hexi with a big white tooth smile.
Seeing that he was so happy, Jiang Hexi looked away in a funny way and said softly: "Although this is the emperor's grace, you should not bully others. In the future, you should still control the waiters more to prevent them from pretending to be powerful."
"Don't worry, boss, I will definitely pay attention to these and never let them learn the bad habits of Yuelai Restaurant before." Wang Shengjie understood Jiang Hexi's concerns and quickly promised.
After the two of them entered the private room, Jiang Hexi began to take stock of the ledgers.
Wang Shengjie and Yao Qu waited obediently aside.
"I've read it, and there's nothing wrong with the ledger. Business has been good this month. Everyone has worked hard, so the bonus will be an extra five hundred cents per person." Jiang Hexi took a sip of tea and looked at the two of them with a smile.
"Then let me first thank my boss for everyone!" Wang Shengjie said with a smile and bowed his hands.
Jiang Hexi smiled slightly and turned to ask Xiang Yao Channel: "Xiaoqu, how is the He family doing recently?"
"My boss, the maid in He Ruyi's yard has been promoted to second-class maid because she saved He Yinbao's son a few days ago! She is now serving He Ruyi."
"Rescued He Yinbao's son?" Jiang Hexi's confused voice sounded.
Yao Qu chuckled and gloated: "This He Yinbao's son is called He Tianyou. He has a very bad temper when he is only eight years old. It is said that he has beaten several young men in the He family to death! He Yinbao has done a lot for his son.
I don’t even know how much money I lost to wipe my butt!”
"No, a few days ago, the nephew of He Yinbao's other aunt Duan came to play at He's house. He Yinbao also gave him a jade pendant. Unexpectedly, He Tianyou saw it. Now He Tianyou, a playboy, could not bear it anymore. He immediately
Just reach out and grab it."
"At that time, the two of them were playing next to the lotus pond. At that time, the maids and boys were all driven away by He Tianyou, just to bully Aunt Duan's nephew. Unexpectedly, He Tianyou fell into the lotus pond by himself. Fortunately, he was sent by us
The maid Ding Xiang was rescued, otherwise He Yinbao would have sent the white-haired man to the black-haired man!"
Jiang Hexi asked at the right time: "What is the origin of this Aunt Duan?"
Hearing this, Yao Qu immediately became energetic and gossiped: "My boss, this Aunt Duan is not a trustworthy woman. She was brought back by He Yinbao from Yanzhou! It is said that she is the daughter of a Jiang bandit!"
"Oh? If that's the case, you should immediately send someone to investigate the origins of Aunt Duan." Jiang Hexi became interested and hurriedly reminded her.
Yao Qu smiled proudly, raised his chin, and said proudly: "I knew my boss would ask me to check on Aunt Duan. No, I have already sent someone to check in advance."
"This aunt turned out to be the aunt who used to be a ghost of the Huaijiang bandits in Yanzhou! This was an old subordinate of He Yinbao who was drunk by Dingxiang. I learned about this from him. There is absolutely no way she can lie! Maybe this aunt will be there early.
They hooked up with He Yinbao, maybe the two of them collaborated in the murder of Gui Jianchou!" Yao Qu boldly guessed.
