The sharp eyes looked straight towards them, no, to be precise, towards Magistrate Zhou next to Yuan Ruolan.
The owner of the gaze was none other than the nine thousand-year-old Gao Jin who was supposed to be resting.
In the original book, Magistrate Zhou took the initiative to sacrifice his wife to Jiu QianSui in order to please Jiu QianSui. Now it seems that there may be some hidden secret in this.
After all, Magistrate Zhou's kindness to Yuan Ruolan is visible to the naked eye. It is not like someone who loves and protects his wife can give her away.
"Ms. Li, do you have any special dishes that you like? I'll have someone go down and prepare them."
Yuan Ruolan's voice came from his ears. Li Tannian came to his senses and told Yuan Ruolan that he planned to go out to check out the shop.
Yuan Ruolan was a little hesitant after hearing this.
"Brother Gao Si is still at home now. He may wake up at any time. If he wakes up and I'm not at home, it wouldn't be good either."
After saying this, she paused and then said: "How about I order the housekeeper to take you to see the shop. After you look at the shop, you and Captain Lu will come back for dinner. I will wait for you."
"There's no need for dinner. I have to go back to town, so I don't need to trouble Madam." As she spoke, she glanced in the direction of the guest room again.
At this moment, is there any figure of Gao Jin anywhere in the guest room?
Li Tannian frowned, said a few words to Yuan Ruolan, and then followed the housekeeper out.
Lu Zhi saw that she was worried and didn't say anything. He thought it was because she hadn't been relieved by what happened just now, so he couldn't help but take a few steps forward quickly.
"Ah Tan, if you still don't feel relieved, we can do something else."
His meaning couldn't be simpler. If he refuses, then this board is just an appetizer. He, Lu Zhi, will let people know that his woman is not to be messed with.
Li Tannian was stunned. Hearing what he meant, he wasn't ready to let Luo Jiaojiao go?
Li Tannian thought that she was not a kind-hearted person, but when she saw that people were like this, Lu Zhi had the intention of not letting people go, so she couldn't help but look at Lu Zhi one more time.
Lu Zhi met her gaze, and a trace of nervousness flashed in his heart: "What's wrong?"
Lu Zhi had been stared at by her for so long, and he didn't see her talking to him. He couldn't help but feel worried. How could he dare to say more?
While the two were in a stalemate, the housekeeper's voice came: "Sir, madam, this is my master's shop."
When Li Tannian heard this, he turned around and looked over.
In the middle of the street, there was a very wide shop. There were some display racks in the store, and there were various kinds of cultural toys, calligraphy and paintings on the display racks.
"This shop is called Lanzhai. My master used to learn how to make these things that literati like, but when she came back that day, she suddenly said she no longer wanted to do this business."
The butler followed behind, introducing as he walked.
There is no shortage of places to sell literature and toys in this county, and Mrs. Yuan doesn't know much about those things. It doesn't take much to think about it, but she knows that her previous business must not have been very good.
However, this shop is indeed very suitable for opening a milk tea shop. It is located in a busy city and is very convenient around. Moreover, the shop is also very wide. She can let people decorate it and make it like a water bar, which will increase the comfort.
, and improved the store environment.
Thinking about it, Li Tannian asked someone to get a pen and paper, and drew a rough sketch of the decoration for the housekeeper, and motioned for her to hand it over to Yuan Ruolan.
Since they wanted to make a living together, they had to consult each other. She asked the housekeeper to go back and show it to Yuan Ruolan. If Yuan Ruolan liked the sketch, they would decorate it according to the sketch.
When he came out of the shop, he saw a long queue in front of a sugar water stall from a distance. Li Tannian glanced at the sugar water stall and felt that the sugar water stall looked ordinary and there was nothing fishy about it.
"This is the most famous tea stall in Qinghe County. Do you want to try its food?" Lu Zhi asked tentatively.
Only then did Li Tannian realize that Lu Zhi was still following her. She glanced at Lu Zhi in surprise, but did not refuse.
After all, if she and Mrs. Yuan really open a milk tea shop, the sugar water stall diagonally opposite is likely to be a major source of competition in the future.
As the saying goes, know yourself and the enemy and you will be victorious in every battle.
She was also curious about such a good job.
The two of them lined up at the back of the queue, and Li Tannian looked at Lu Zhi seriously and said, "You seem to be very idle. You shouldn't have come to the county specifically to look for me, right?"
The word 'natural' rolled around in his throat, and Lu Zhi finally did not dare to tell the truth.
That day, after he expressed his feelings to her, she became resistant to him. If she were to know her true inner thoughts, she would definitely not feel good about him.
After all, it was him who had feelings for her, and she had no feelings for him now. He had to work harder, and work harder, to gain some favor from her.
With this thought in his mind, Lu Zhi curled his lips and smiled casually: "How could that be? I'm here to talk to County Magistrate Zhou about something."
Li Tannian was not surprised when he heard this answer. After all, he had hurriedly protected Gao Jin when he came in. Presumably, he also came to the county for Gao Jin.
However, how he came to be related to Gao Jin was surprising. After all, in the original book, he and Gao Jin were fierce rivals, and they did not seem to have a private friendship.
Could it be that his arrival had such an impact?
After a few breaths of silence, Li Tannian asked tentatively: "Do you know that person today?"
Lu Zhi nodded: "I didn't know him originally, but I happened to pass by and saved his life. If my guess is correct, he should be Gao Jin who is nine thousand years old today."
It turns out that we met by chance.
Li Tannian suddenly felt enlightened, but still a little surprised. After all, he didn't have to tell her about this kind of thing.
As if he saw what she was thinking, Lu Zhi solemnly said: "Ah Tan, I don't want to lie to you, not at any time."
His voice was deep and strong, and the gentle and focused look when he spoke actually gave people an illusion that he shouldn't have had before.
Li Tannian thought to himself that people like Lu Zhi really have the ability to seduce people. Not only are they good-looking, but they also speak well.
It's a pity that she knows the direction of the whole book and would not choose him as the villain no matter what...
The two were silent for a while, and finally it was their turn.
The person who set up the sugar water stall was an elderly man with a kind face and kind eyes. He only looked at Li Tannian and asked her with a smile what kind of sugar water she wanted.
Li Tannian looked at it, ordered a white fungus and lily soup and sweet potato soup, and went to sit at the stall.
"I'm just like her." Lu Zhi said quietly and handed the candy, water and money to the old man.
The old man was surprised. At first, she was surprised that the husband actually ordered two sweet soups, but then she realized that he didn't like sweet soup. He clearly liked that girl.
Even when I drink sugar water, I want to drink the same thing as others. Obviously, my heart has already followed others.
Shaking his head and smiling, the old man poured two bowls of sugar water for Lu Zhi and advised him: "Mr. Sir, you have to work harder. The girl is beautiful. Don't let anyone take her away."
"No." Lu Zhi's face turned red as his thoughts were revealed, but his attitude was extremely firm.
She is his, he wants her, and whoever dares to snatch his Ah Tan, he will break that person's legs!
After Lu Zhi brought all the sugar water to the table, Li Tannian was holding his chin and looking around.
Seeing that there were several sparsely arranged tables around her, and the tables were crowded with people, and the people looked sweet when they ate the sugar water, she became more and more curious about the taste of the sugar water.
Looking back, she was surprised to see Lu Zhi's face was slightly red. She wanted to ask more, but then she heard Feng Shi's extremely angry voice.
"Wan Niang, how could you do this to me! You didn't go home for two days, but you were hanging out with men!"
