"That's right. I've told him many times and it's still like this!"
A passing neighbor heard his aunt's vomit and joined in. Seeing that Su Liuye was from outside, he also said, "My dear lady, if you really want to find a store, why not go and take a look at the store there?" Even better. I won’t let Old Man Lu do that and live in the backyard after renting out the store."
"Okay, I'm here to help you guys."
Su Liuye said thank you, looking at the store in front of her, she still felt that this place was more suitable.
It's not like she didn't see the store in front. The decoration of those stores are all new, so the prices are expected to be higher.
She didn't bring many banknotes with her this time, and she couldn't go back to Luoxi Town to get them again.
Besides, stores in Beijing are so expensive, so no matter how much money she has, she may not be able to buy them.
"Aliu, let's go take a look around first."
Qin Lian said.
Su Liuye nodded, that was all he could do now.
After searching around the area, sure enough, the nearby store openings cost more than a thousand taels of silver. Even some cheap ones were abandoned by Su Liuye because their locations were too remote.
After walking around in circles, she returned to Old Man Lu's store. It seemed that this was the most suitable place.
"Aliu!"
Qin Lian beside her suddenly shouted, and before Su Liuye could react, she was pulled aside.
"Look!"
Before asking, Qin Lian stared at the other side of the street with a serious face. Su Liuye looked over and saw a girl in gorgeous clothes leading several servants to Old Man Lu's shop.
The woman walking in front raised her chin, and the maid beside her quickly stepped forward and knocked on the door.
Waiting for the expectation, the woman looked at the old shop in front of her with an arrogant expression, with arrogance and disdain on her face that was originally gentle and pleasant.
This face is none other than Zhou Yun'er whom I haven't seen for a long time!
"Why is she here?"
Su Liuye was pulled by Qin Lian to the alley across the street. This position was invisible to Zhou Yun'er, but they could see the situation there.
"I don't know either." Qin Lian suppressed her voice, "Aliu, look! When I met her before, she was accompanied by so many people. When the people around her saw them, they could only hide away. Come on, no different than a bully!"
After Qin Lian said this, Su Liuye saw that Zhou Yun'er was not only followed by a maid, but also several guards with swords. Walking on the street really made others afraid to approach.
"What are you doing here?"
Just as he was thinking about it, the shop door over there was pushed open, and Old Man Lu leaned out with an impatient face. When he saw it was Zhou Yun'er, his expression became even more ugly.
Zhou Yun'er's maid said, "Master Lu, our princess is here to buy marinade from you."
"No, no! You go quickly!"
Old Man Lu didn't give them any face at all, waving his hand like shooing away flies to tell them to leave quickly.
Zhou Yun'er naturally couldn't stand this attitude. She spoke, her clear voice full of superiority, "Master Lu, last time I came to see you, you said the same thing. Are you really not there, or are you just lying?" No?"
"When I say no, I mean no! If you don't believe it, old man, I won't bother!"
Old Man Lu glared and yelled angrily, "Why are you trying to show off to me like this?"
"You, you dare to talk to me like this?" Zhou Yun'er said angrily.
Old Man Lu snorted, "The old man is talking to you like this, what else can you do to the old man?"
"you--"
Zhou Yun'er was so angry that her voice trembled, and she stared at Old Man Lu for a long time without being able to speak.
Old Man Lu was too lazy to pay attention to her and slammed the wooden door shut.
"What's your attitude? Open the door for me!"
Zhou Yuner knocked on the door angrily.
After a while, the person at the door ignored her.
The maid said, "Princess, please don't be angry with this old man, or you will be angry. This old man Lu still thinks that he is in the glory days of the past. The princess came to him personally to give him face, but he is so disrespectful." Interesting!"
"What a damn old man!"
Zhou Yun'er cursed, and the maid kept trying to persuade her. Only then did her expression improve, and she left with a group of people.
Su Liuye looked strange over there.
Now that Zhou Yun'er has really become the princess of the Fifth Prince's Mansion, why would she come here to find a grumpy old man in person? When Old Man Lu scolded her, Zhou Yun'er's character did not let the guards arrest Old Man Lu directly, but left angrily.
Is this because Zhou Yun'er doesn't dare to provoke Old Man Lu?
What is going on?
"A Liu, did you see that just now? Zhou Yun'er couldn't scold the old man."
Qin Lian also discovered the problem and asked in surprise.
"Yes, that old man's identity may not be simple."
Su Liuye found an inn and went in to order some food. When the waiter came to serve the food, she asked, "Brother, do you know who the owner of that old shop on this street is? Listen. It sounds like his name is Old Man Lu."
"The guest officer is talking about Old Man Lu, right?" The waiter immediately guessed who she was talking about, and then said, "I don't actually know who that old man is, I just heard it from the old man on the street. , the royal chef in the palace when Old Man Lu was young, it is said that he was very famous in the past and was a popular person around the emperor!"
"Royal chef?!"
Qin Lian asked in surprise, "Is someone like him also an imperial chef? Is he such a bad temper?"
"Hey, what's the point? Sir, if you were the royal chef in the palace when you were young, I'm afraid your temper would be worse than his." The waiter laughed and said, "But those were more than ten years ago. , now Old Man Lu is no longer the imperial chef. I heard that he seemed to have committed something in the palace and was kicked out. He had bought the old shop before, but the strange thing is that he never bought the shop. We are open for business, but only eight stores are rented out.”
"The shops on our street are quite popular. Many people went to ask Mr. Lu, but Mr. Lu said that he wanted to live in the backyard and only rent out the store. When others heard about it, they would definitely not rent it again."
"Besides, Old Man Lu doesn't know what he has put in the backyard. Every time it rains, there will be bursts of stench in the yard. It really stinks! But Old Man Lu's temper, no matter what others say, he just won't Throw away the things in the backyard, and the government can’t do anything to him.”
"So that's it, thank you, little brother."
Su Liuye took out a tip and gave it to the waiter.
When the waiter saw the money being collected, he had a bright smile on his face. After thanking him repeatedly, he said to Su Liuye, "Sir, when you asked Mr. Lu about it, did you fall in love with his shop?"
"Yes, does the little brother know anything else?"
"I dare not say these things, but there are indeed some secrets about Old Man Lu." The waiter said in a suppressed voice.
"What secret?"
