Chapter 309 Meeting Shen Jiaojiao Again
As soon as Shen Li arrived at the door, she found a little maid with her hands on her hips arguing with the waiter in the store, attracting a lot of onlookers.
"Wait a minute, I remember what you said. You said five days later, but today is only the fourth day. Did you remember it wrong?"
The maid Xiaolian immediately raised her eyebrows and pointed at the person in front of her, "You are talking nonsense. I clearly told you to call your shopkeeper out in four days."
When she said this, Yang Gui had already heard the noise and came out.
"Miss, if you have any questions, let's talk inside."
Xiaolian looked proud and said, "Go in and tell me, it's all just nonsense, you guys are smart, right?"
Shen Li stood in the crowd, her eyebrows slightly raised. Was this intentional trouble-making?
The waiter at the side quickly told Yang Gui the situation. Yang Gui still had a kind look on his face, but his eyes had become a little sharp.
"Girl, are you sure you said four days and not five days?"
"Of course, I'm not old enough to be so forgetful. Since you're the shopkeeper, then tell me, what should we do about this matter today?"
Yang Gui has asked the waiter to get the record book. Since the business of the store has been picking up, the book has recorded how much was sold every day and to whom. There is also a separate booklet to record orders, to prevent people from making trouble.
"Look at the way the girl is dressed. You can tell she is well-educated."
If she heard him change the subject to please her, the corners of her mouth would curl up slightly, "Of course, I have learned calligraphy from my young lady for several years!"
"That's good."
The maid Xiaolian frowned, "What do you mean? Don't talk about other things. How do we solve this problem?"
The young lady is still waiting at home, so we can't mess this up.
Yang Gui took the record book from Xiao Er and said, "Since you can read, it will be easy. This is the record book for ordering snacks in our store. You came here four days ago. On that day, several families also ordered snacks. Let's check them one by one."
Xiaolian panicked for a moment, but soon thought of a solution, "This thing is in your hands, so naturally, whatever you say is the truth."
Yang Gui was not panicked. "Since the girl is suspicious, let's ask a calligraphy master to come back and let him see if this was written a few days ago."
As he spoke, he exposed the page to everyone's sight. Those with good vision could clearly see the signature and seal on it. The crowd immediately began to talk.
"I remember the dress she was wearing. My uncle's second aunt's sister-in-law's granddaughter also wore the same dress. It was said that she was in the He Mansion!"
"What house is that?"
"How can there be that? Look at the fabric of this dress. Even a little maid like her can wear it so well."
"Oh, that's who it is!"
……
Listening to the discussion in the crowd, Xiaolian's face turned pale. She was indeed wrong in this matter. It was indeed said that day that it would be returned in five days, but this could not be possible. The lady had to get it today. If she messed up, she did not dare to think about what her fate would be.
"Let me see."
She hurriedly took it and looked at it. There was indeed no loophole to be exploited, but...
"Shopkeeper, then I'll just pretend I remembered it wrong, but the mansion needs some snacks right now, how many do you have left in your shop?"
Having said that, she did not stop outside the door, but walked hurriedly into the store. When she passed by the waiter, she stuffed the record book into his arms.
"Everyone come in and sit down!"
The waiter was shouting outside the door without trying to chase anyone away. After just a few words, most of the people at the door had left.
"Let's go, there's nothing exciting to see. If we go in and count, half a pound of silver is gone. Let's go home!"
The people at the door had almost all left, and the waiter saw Shen Li, "Boss, you're back!"
"Well, you did a good job just now."
When the waiter heard her praise, he immediately grinned with joy and did not forget to go to the kitchen to get snacks and hot water for Shen Li.
Not long after, Yang Gui sold a batch of high-end dim sum in the store to Xiaolian and helped her deliver it to He's house, thus resolving the matter smoothly.
As soon as he sent the person out, he went up to the third floor to meet Shen Li, "Boss."
"Here you go, sit down."
As soon as Yang Gui sat down, he heard Shen Li say, "You did a good job."
Being praised, Yang Gui's expression became a little happy, but he was still calm and composed, "Boss, I have encountered these things many times, it's not a big problem."
"Nothing's happened in the store lately, has it?"
"No, the store is operating normally."
"Well, go ahead. You've worked hard this month. I'll give you five taels of silver as a reward when the monthly salary is distributed at the end of the month, and everyone else in the store will be rewarded one tael of silver each."
"Thank you, boss!"
The boss is a kind person. Not only is he generous, but he also treats them well on weekdays. He always gives them gifts during the New Year and other festivals. It is hard to find such a good boss.
The two talked for a few more words before Yang Gui left. In the afternoon, He Xinyan came to the store with a few girls. Shen Li was just about to go back when she saw her meaningful look.
What? Are you here to cause trouble?
Thinking of this, he turned around and decided to stay in the store a little longer to avoid any mistakes.
Not long after, someone was heard saying that Su Zhihui had arrived and went to He Xinyan's private room.
His eyebrows raised slightly. Is this a coincidence, or?
"Please ask Miss Su to come up later."
"Yes, boss."
Thinking about something in his mind, he walked to the window, and just as he opened the window, a breeze blew towards him, soothing his inner irritability. Just as he glanced down, his brows immediately frowned, and his mental strength moved.
If she hadn't seen wrong just now, that person was Shen Jiaojiao!
The mental power shuttled through the crowd and quickly caught up with the familiar figure. It was indeed Shen Jiaojiao.
Why is she here?
Compared to before, the weak and artificial look on her body has disappeared, replaced by a coquettish look.
The clothes he wore were normal, and the expression on his face was normal, but his once innocent eyes were gone, and now they were filled with temptation.
Shen Li's spiritual power followed silently and found that she went to the dock and boarded a gorgeous ship with many girls of her age on the ship.
Shen Li was no stranger to these boats, which were famous for being flower boats that drifted around Suzhou, Qingxi County, and even the entire Jiangnan region all year round.
This surprised her a little. How come you are the heroine, but you have ended up like this?
Also, what about the other members of the Shen family?
Old Mrs. Shen protects Shen Jiaojiao as if she were her own eyeball, so how could she bear to let her do such a thing?
No, there is another possibility. Unless she died or almost all of Shen’s family members were dead, she would not fall to this point.
What about the male lead?
Now that the heroine has ended up in this situation, what about the hero Jiang Huaichuan?
Can he still live the life the author has prepared for him?
