Chapter 95: Aunt Will Not Dislike You
Sheng Zhiyao was still sitting in the tea room drinking tea, when Xun Yan knocked on the door: "Master, the shopkeeper of Qingfeng Tower wants to see you."
"Oh? Why is he here? Let shopkeeper Liu come in!" After hearing Xun Yan's words, Sheng Zhiyao put down the tea cup in her hand.
"Yes." Xun Yan turned and left in response. Within a moment, he led shopkeeper Liu to push open the door of the tea room. Shopkeeper Liu walked to the opposite side of Sheng Zhiyao, stopped and cupped his hands: "Meet the princess."
"We are all so familiar with Shopkeeper Liu. If you are a princess or not, you should still call me Zhiyao as before." Sheng Zhiyao smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Liu, please take a seat."
"Yes, thank you Miss Zhiyao. In the past, you could be casual in Qingfeng Building, but you had to abide by the rules outside." Shopkeeper Liu said with a smile, and sat down on a chair beside him. Mei'er made a drink for Shopkeeper Liu.
He put a cup of hot tea on the table and bowed away.
"No need, shopkeeper Liu is all acquaintances." Sheng Zhiyao smiled slightly and said, "Why are you here this time? But the wine is sold out?"
"Yes." Shopkeeper Liu nodded and said, "But there is one more thing."
"Oh?? Is there anything else?" Sheng Zhiyao asked with raised eyebrows.
"In the past few days, several old customers have told me that there are people selling our wine in a small town outside the city. Not only is it more expensive, but it is also fake. The taste is so different, but those people are selling it under the name Qingfenglou.
The signboard is for sale." Shopkeeper Liu frowned.
"But that small town in the south where most of the merchants live?" Sheng Zhiyao asked.
"Exactly, does the girl know? Although that place is small, many customers go there to buy things, so naturally it has become somewhat famous."
"I know over there, I drank it, it's really fake." Sheng Zhiyao curled her lips contemptuously: "Don't worry, shopkeeper Liu, I was going to discuss it with you when I came back from there last time, but things have been too busy recently.
If it’s too long, it will be delayed.”
"Really, that's good. The main reason I came to you this time is because Mr. Ding said that we also plan to buy some of your new wine tasting, but we are afraid that the fake wine will affect the business, so we want to ask the girl what she can do.
.”
"Shopkeeper Liu, don't worry, I will take care of it." Sheng Zhiyao smiled: "I will ask Xun Yan to go back with you later and get the list of recent wine buyers, and then I will ask him to send you some wine.
Come, Qingfeng Tower will sell wine as usual."
"That's very good. Thank you very much, Miss Yao. I'll take my leave first."
"Shopkeeper Liu, go slowly, Xun Yan will pick you up later." Shopkeeper Liu handed over his hands and left.
Sheng Zhiyao shouted towards the door: "Xun Yan, Xun Jia."
"Master's subordinates are here."
"Xun Yan, go to Qingfeng Building and get back the list of wine buyers. Xun Jia, go to a tavern called Shi Tavern in a small town in the southern suburbs to investigate where their wine comes from."
"Yes, I will take your orders."
She wanted to see who had the guts to use her wine to make fake wine and sell it for forty taels a jar, which was simply bullying. Fortunately, she wrote down the name of the tavern at the time. She would definitely not
Will give up and give up.
Not being in a hurry to come back that day and having so many things going on recently, Sheng Zhiyao almost forgot about this matter.
She sat in the tea room and looked at the sky outside the window. Sheng Zhiyao's eyes narrowed into slits, and a strange smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of her mouth.
After dealing with some things in Tianxiang Pavilion, it was already dark before she knew it. Sheng Zhiyao started to return to the Marquis Mansion in a carriage. The carriage bumped along the road. Sheng Zhiyao closed her eyes and rested.
A gust of cold wind blew the curtains of the carriage, and a ray of moonlight shone into the carriage from the window. Sheng Zhiyao opened her eyes and stretched out her hand to cover the moonlight. At this time, the carriage suddenly stopped, and an exclamation came into the carriage.
"Huh~" The driver tightened the reins and stopped. Sheng Zhiyao opened the curtain and looked outside, only to see a sedan in front of her, blocking the way of the carriage.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Sheng Zhiyao asked with a frown as she looked at the movement outside.
"Miss, someone is blocking our way in front of us. I don't know what's going on."
"It's okay, the road is so narrow, there must be some misunderstanding." Sheng Zhiyao said calmly.
"Yes, then should we go around it?" the coachman asked.
"Get out of the way, it's okay." Sheng Zhiyao shook her head.
"Yes, miss." The coachman responded, then moved the carriage to the side, and the sedan passed by.
Sheng Zhiyao looked at the sedan chair passing by, the style and carved patterns on it, and she knew that this sedan chair was not for ordinary people. There was a woman sitting vaguely in the sedan chair, dressed in rich clothes and with a high bun.
, head full of jewelry hairpins.
The people in the sedan also noticed her, and when they saw her lifting the curtain to reveal her face, she also raised her eyes and looked towards Sheng Zhiyao.
"Hey, isn't this Zhiyao's niece? Why are you still walking on the street so late? Are you going for a walk or something?" After the woman in the sedan saw Sheng Zhiyao's face, her face instantly became gloomy.
stand up.
"Niece?" Sheng Zhiyao raised her eyebrows.
"Why, niece Zhiyao doesn't know her aunt?" When the woman saw Sheng Zhiyao's reaction, she immediately became concerned, so she put on a loving smile and called out kindly.
Sheng Zhiyao suddenly realized that her mother did have a sister in name only: "Aunt, how dare I not know you? It's just that my aunt is now the second prince's concubine and the biological mother of Emperor Yuan Qing's grandson. How can I dare to talk to you?
, that’s why I’m a little surprised!”
"Oh, you kid will make fun of your aunt. What did niece Zhiyao say? My aunt is not an outsider. I treat you as my own niece. No matter who your mother marries or how she lives.
In this way, my aunt will not dislike you." The woman feigned anger, but her smile was very false.
"Haha, is that so? How could this be teasing? You are the elder, how dare I, a junior, make fun of you! Shi Zhiyao doesn't dare to climb up to you, so please don't blame me, aunt."
"Okay, okay, don't say that. This girl of yours is really sharp-tongued." The woman waved her hand and said with a smile.
"No, aunt, I'm just telling the truth." Sheng Zhiyao replied with a smile.
After hearing this, the woman felt a little angry in her heart, but she still kept a smile on her face: "Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, it's getting late, go back quickly, we can have a good chat another day."
"Auntie, go slowly!" Sheng Zhiyao, who was sitting in the carriage, nodded slightly towards the woman, then turned around and told the driver to continue moving forward.
"Yes, Master."
The carriage drove slowly on the street. In the carriage, Sheng Zhiyao's face turned cold. She cursed in her heart: Humph, why didn't her mother marry well? What's wrong with the Shenghou Mansion? Mother is kind and son is filial, brothers are
The family is harmonious and happy, unlike her stupid husband and stupid son.
In the sedan chair, Mrs. Qi's eyes were staring viciously in front of her, with a fierce light shining in her eyes.
"Princess, this Sheng Zhiyao is so ignorant that he dares not to salute you!" Auntie standing beside the sedan chair said in a low voice.
"Hmph, a little country bumpkin born from an old country bumpkin, isn't it just because he is a cheap princess granted by the emperor? He really thinks that he is a person at such a young age! My majestic second prince and princess, I want to see why she refuses
Qing'er, this princess must make her a stepping stone for Qing'er, and then make her look good after Qing'er marries her!" Mrs. Qi said viciously.
"Then Princess, forget what happened just now?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Qi thought for a moment and said, "How about this? You send someone to reveal the news to the prime minister and let him teach this stinky girl a lesson."
