Seeing Jian Yu's eyes widening, as if she was on guard like a kitten with fried hair, Zhou Jinyan narrowed his eyes, bowed his head and saluted, "I accept my order."
The servants in the mansion all call themselves slaves to Princess Jing, but every time Jian Yu hears Zhou Jinyan call her like this, she can't help but shudder. The dog assassin's eyes don't seem like someone who likes to be subordinate to others, and she doesn't know that he is under Tang Fu's control. What kind of status and treatment is there?
Jian Yu was furious when she was seen and didn't want to say anything else. She waved her hand and asked the other party to leave quickly.
After watching the person walk out of the yard, she patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. The dog assassin was not a docile sheep, but a vicious wolf with hidden fangs. If he was not careful, he would bite his neck and kill him.
Until now, Jian Yu has not reduced her vigilance against him.
Zhou Jinyan called four servants out of the house, including Wei Bai. Now Zhou Jinyan was the popular person in front of the princess, and Wei Bai was the popular person around Rong Er.
The two of them were bought into the mansion together, so it was understandable that Rong Er promoted Wei Bai as the manager. Others only regretted that they did not make good friends with Rong Er when he entered the mansion.
Zhou Jinyan was walking in front, while Wei Bai was peeking from behind. Why did he feel that his master's mood was not right? Seeing his master stop, he quickly stopped.
——The shop has arrived.
This shop can sell hundreds of taels for one reason. Secondly, it occupies a large area. The three-bay shop on the second floor is extremely spacious. It was originally a jewelry shop, but later all the goods were pawned by Gu Er, and it was finally empty. The house was rented to a seller of sesame seeds and pastries at a low price.
Gu Er was cautious, he was afraid that if he rented it to a wealthy family, he would be cheated and not come back, but in the end, he still ended up selling it.
There is a word "tian" written in red on the wooden door. This is the symbol of the gambling house, which means that the shop that makes a living is in their hands and owned by Hengtong Gambling House.
The people kept this secret, and Prince Jing's Mansion didn't care about it. Zhou Jinyan kicked open the already dilapidated wooden door, and jumped out with the rusty lock.
Cleaning the shop is not only about throwing away useless things, but also cleaning up the shop floor. When Zhou Jinyan was in the courtyard, his grandma followed him and gave him the money bag. The money in it was used to replace the windows and doors.
According to the address of the carpenter's shop mentioned by his mother-in-law, Zhou Jinyan asked the other two boys to pick it up. He and Wei Bai were the only ones left in the shop.
His master was a man of high caliber who went into battle to kill enemies, so how could he use his talents to dismantle the abandoned furniture in the house? Wei Bai asked his master to rest, while Zhou Jinyan didn't care and started to pack it up.
It's different when you know martial arts. Ordinary people have to use an ax and a hammer to pry the board, but Zhou Jinyan tore it off with just one force.
Listening to the clanging sound in his ears, Wei Bai understood that his master was not working, but venting his anger, so he said something was wrong on the way here!
In the blink of an eye, all the cabinets in the room were almost dismantled. Zhou Jinyan found a clean place and sat leaning against the wall, resting his elbows on his bent knees and squinting his eyes with a lazy look on his face, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Master, I'm going to buy you a bowl of tea."
Zhou Jinyan has never been particular about food. Although he doesn't like meat, it is common for him to choke on steamed buns for several days when he is marching and fighting. Tea or something can quench his thirst.
"No need." Zhou Jinyan refused, then waved to Wei Bai: "Come here."
Wei Bai walked up to him, Zhou Jinyan took out the banknote from his arms and handed it over and said, "Give it to Song Song."
Song Song is the commander of the secret guards assembled this time, and he will allocate and use the money according to the situation.
One thousand taels? ! Wei Bai looked at the silver and then at Zhou Jinyan, full of disbelief. Where did the master get the silver?
As Wei Bai, who came to Shengjing from Killing the Tiger's Mouth with Zhou Jinyan, he knew very well that his master did not bring any money. However, this was not the end of the story. What Zhou Jinyan said next shocked him again.
"Under what circumstances would a woman seduce a man?"
Is the master serious about this question? Looking at the master's serious expression, Wei Bai swallowed his saliva. He is still a child, how could he know this?
After carefully recalling the story told by the storyteller before, Wei Bai said matter-of-factly: "There are two points!"
Zhou Jinyan said nothing, but his expression signaled Wei Bai to continue.
"First, the woman has a crush on the man! She wants to marry him and have a baby."
Wei Bai, who was about to elaborate on this condition, heard his master's cold voice say: "Next."
Wei Bai looked at Zhou Jinyan's face, thought for a while and then said: "The second thing is that the woman is profitable from the man! She wants to get benefits from the man!"
After saying this, Wei Bai felt a little proud. He used an idiom and felt so educated!
A sneer sounded in his ears, and Wei Bai trembled. He looked at his master and gasped in fright. Why did his face become so dark? !
At this time, footsteps were heard outside, and the two boys came back.
Then Zhou Jinyan stopped working and watched the other three people throw away the discarded wood in the house, remove the doors and window frames and install new ones.
Wei Bai, who was busy at work, kept secretly looking at Zhou Jinyan's face. He felt a little unsure. Did he make his master angry because he didn't hold back what he said?
But why would the master suddenly ask this question? As he was thinking about it, Wei Bai's eyes suddenly widened. It couldn't be the princess, could it?
Then Wei Bai immediately denied it in his heart, it shouldn't be the case, the master's face now is really... too ordinary, he must be the little maid in the courtyard, they are really blind, the master has never been obsessed with women, and his efforts to seduce her are in vain.
Wei Bai didn't know that he was all wrong. The person he was "seducing" was Princess Jing, and the master, who was not a womanizer, was a little confused.
After coming out of the main courtyard, Zhou Jinyan always had Jian Yu's little face in his mind for no reason, especially the tone of voice when she was giving instructions to him, which was soft and sweet.
Whose girl would meet her foreign man half-lying down? Even in Bianbei, where people's customs are more open, there is nothing like this.
Zhou Jinyan’s final conclusion was that she was seducing him!
Was it done deliberately to suspect his identity, or was there some other purpose? Zhou Jinyan, who had been thinking about it for a long time, suddenly became enlightened after hearing Wei Bai's explanation. She wanted to join her in Prince Jing's palace and wanted to seduce her into working for her wholeheartedly!
Ah! She kept saying she was in love with Prince Jing, but then she turned around and treated him like this, being so frivolous!
Zhou Jinyan felt angry that he couldn't express.
"Master, ahem, steward Rong has taken care of things here."
Except for a few load-bearing pillars, all the useless tables, benches, and rotten wood have been removed from the shop, and the dusty and dirty servants have also cleaned them up.
It was their first time out of the house to work for the princess. The two servants worked hard to express themselves, hoping to leave a good impression in front of Manager Rong Er so that they could be promoted in the future.
Zhou Jinyan, who had closed his eyes and fell asleep, suddenly opened his eyes when he heard Wei Bai's words. The sharp look in his eyes that he didn't have time to put away made the two servants stunned for a moment, and then sighed, Manager Rong Er looked so impressive just now! No wonder he was treated differently by his master.
At this time, Zhou Jinyan also cleared his mind. Since the other party wanted to seduce, he would use his plan to see what kind of medicine the princess wanted to sell!
What do you want to use him for? Could it be related to the treason in Bianbei?
At this time, eight strong men with long sticks in their hands suddenly rushed in from outside. They looked at the tough men and the bearded man at the head shouted: "Hey, what are you doing!"
