A-Lan's father was already so busy with business matters that he didn't notice that the woman didn't look good either. So when he saw the woman, he was eager to ask her what to do with the next business deal.
But Yueyao didn't expect to see A-Lan's father after returning to the main courtyard. Because A-Lan's father should be taking care of business outside at this time, how could he have time to come back so leisurely?
"Shouldn't Yuanjun be at the tea house at this hour?" Yueyao asked impatiently.
"Yue Yao, there's something wrong with the business." Alan's father said in a panic.
Yueyao didn't expect this man to be so useless. No wonder the old man handed over his business to that boy back then.
"It's only been a few days, what could go wrong?" Yue Yao asked.
"I, I, I don't know what to say. It's just that someone made a large order, but something happened to the tea house, and we couldn't deliver the goods by then." A-Lan's father said.
"How could something happen to the tea house?" Yueyao asked.
"It's tea leaves, those tea leaves..." Alan's father didn't know where to start.
Yueyao shook her head, not wanting to listen to him at all, so she had no choice but to ask the housekeeper to invite the tea shop manager.
The shopkeeper quickly went to Leng Mansion. After meeting A Lan's father and Yueyao, he said respectfully: "Master, Madam."
"Tell me, what happened to the tea house?" Yueyao asked.
"To tell you what, Madam, nothing happened at the tea house, it was the tea garden that did," the shopkeeper said.
"Tea Garden? What happened in the Tea Garden?" Yueyao asked nervously.
If something happened to the tea plantation, it wouldn't be a big deal. But if something happened to the tea plantation, they really wouldn't be able to deliver the goods.
"Back to Madam, the tea pickers were preparing to pick the buds that had just grown in the tea garden, but they found that they had all been picked overnight," the shopkeeper said.
At this time, Yueyao couldn't sit still anymore. She stood up and asked in a panic: "What, everything was lighted overnight? Isn't the tea garden guarded? I don't know how someone could sneak in."
Woolen cloth?"
In fact, the tea garden is very large, but ordinary people will not go to the tea garden to steal things. Even if someone does sneak in, it is impossible to light up the entire tea garden.
"Back to Madam, the tea garden has always been strictly guarded, and no one will steal anything in the tea garden. This is the first time in history, how can there be tea with human heads?" said the shopkeeper.
"What about the others? When will the same type of tea be ready?" Yueyao asked.
"Madam, we just picked a batch a few days ago, and this batch has just grown into buds, and we are ready to pick and deliver it, but now we can't hand over anything. If we can take it easy in normal times, we can talk to the boss
After some discussion, we should be able to accommodate. However, even if the boss gives us a few days, our tea will not mature," the shopkeeper said.
"How could this be? How could there be such a coincidence? How many orders have they placed?" Yue Yao asked.
"Madam, they harvested the entire harvest, and they harvested whatever they harvested," the shopkeeper said.
"I understand, please step back first." Yueyao asked the shopkeeper to go back first.
After the shopkeeper left, Yue Yao asked: "Yuanjun, why did you decide such a big matter without discussing it with me? What is the total output, how could the boss know? I don't think so.
Eighty percent of it was behind his back." Yueyao asked.
"How could it be? He is very sincere, otherwise he wouldn't have paid so much deposit." A-Lan's father said.
Yueyao glanced at A-Lan's father and said, "It's precisely because he paid too much as a deposit that you think there's something wrong with him. He has never been to a tea garden, how can he know how much can be harvested? How could anyone be like this?
Are you stupid enough to put down a deposit without going to the tea plantation?"
"This is the first business I have taken on. I originally planned to tell you after it was completed. I didn't expect it would turn out like this, so I wanted to discuss it with you." Alan's father sighed and said.
Yueyao was really angry. She didn't expect that A-Lan's father had no business acumen. She originally planned to hand over the business to A-Lan's father, and then she could go around looking for that thing with the token. Who would have thought that A-Lan's father would actually
So incompetent.
"Business matters cannot be solved in a short while. I have something to ask the master, and I ask the master to tell me the truth." Yue Yao's tone softened and she said.
A-Lan's father heard that Yue-Yao's tone softened but she stopped calling his name. He knew that this matter must be very important, because the business was already in a state of flux and Yue-Yao's help was still needed, so he nodded and said: "
When did I hide something from you?"
"Master said before that you have been to the tomb, right?" Yue Yao asked.
"Why did you suddenly ask about this matter?" Alan's father said with a guilty conscience.
He had never been to the tomb before. He was very timid, so how could he dare to go to the tomb? It was just that after the second son came back from the tomb, he would always tell him about it, which scared him so much that he didn't dare to sleep at night.
Later, when he was in Northern Xinjiang, he bragged to others that he had gone to a grave. Who knew that Yueyao was not only not afraid, but also took the initiative to talk to him.
However, after so many years, why did Yueyao suddenly ask him?
"I want to find the painting you mentioned and repair it. Didn't you say that the painting was damaged at the time? However, there is no such painting in the warehouse. Did you remember the wrong place?" Yue Yao asked.
"What? In the past few days, you have been in the warehouse with the token, not to take stock of those things, but to look for the map?" Alan's father asked in surprise.
"That's right, I once told you that I really want to find that map and restore it." Yue Yao said.
"But it's better not to look for a map, and father is not allowed to mention it," said A-Lan's father.
"Why don't your father-in-law want to mention the matter of going to the tomb? Master, did you encounter anything terrible after going to the tomb?" Yue Yao asked curiously.
"Yao'er, you know that I don't want to mention what happened back then. You always asked me about it at that time, so I just found an excuse to tell you that the map was thrown in the warehouse. In fact, that map no longer exists.
." Alan's father said.
"Master, can't you tell me what happened back then?" Yue Yao said.
"What happened back then...well, it's hard to describe in words." Alan's father said.
In fact, A-Lan's father didn't know anything about what happened that year. He only knew that a man who had been following his second brother suddenly appeared in his father's study covered in blood. Only later did he know that something had happened to his second brother. From then on,
My father told everyone in the house that the second brother should never be mentioned in the house again.
So, how did he know where the map was?
"What exactly happened, and why is it so hard to explain?" Yue Yao said anxiously.
"Yao'er, if you really want to find a map, I think it's better to go to your father's study. There is what you are looking for in that place. However, my father's people will not let you in." A-Lan's father said.
"Don't worry, I will find a way." After hearing this, Yueyao immediately planned to leave.
"Yao'er, you are going now, what about the business?" A-Lan's father said.
"The business matters will be settled when I come back." Yueyao said a few words and left the main courtyard.
A-Lan's father had a big heart. After hearing Yue-Yao's words, he really believed Yue-Yao's words.
After Yueyao left the main courtyard, she went directly to the old man's study. As expected, she was stopped just as she entered the old man's courtyard.
"Who?" A man in black stood in front of Yueyao.
"Who are you? I am the mistress of the Leng Mansion, why can't I even enter the study room?" Yue Yao said.
"I remember that the mistress of the Leng family is only the young master's mother, not you. The master gave instructions before his death that no one can enter his courtyard. Please also ask the madam to leave here as soon as possible and abide by the rules here." The man in black said.
.
"The master asked me to come here to find something. When I find it, I will leave naturally." Yue Yao said.
"Madam, this is the old man's yard, please be careful, madam." said the man in black.
The man in black was very stubborn and refused to give in. Later, when Yue Yao saw that he was too tough, he tried to be soft. Unexpectedly, the man in front of him refused to accept the toughness. The angry Yue Yao waved his hand and said: "I hope you don't regret it."
The decision to enter.”
After Yue Yao hummed softly, she turned and left. She stood outside the yard and did not leave. She took out a jade flute from her waist and started playing. However, the jade flute did not make any sound at all. But the strange thing is that no
After a while, the man in black fell to the ground.
After Yueyao put away the jade flute, she walked into the yard, kicked the man in black hard and dragged him to the flower garden.
After Yueyao finished it, she patted the dirt on her hands and then entered the study.
After entering the study room, I started looking around for the painting about the map.
She looked carefully on the bookshelf and found nothing, but since it was a painting, should it be put together with other scrolls?
So, she opened each scroll to see if it was a map. Finally, she found something was wrong with one of the paintings. So she put the painting on the table. After carefully pressing the painting, she gently used a knife to
The painting was lightly scratched.
Sure enough, after the upper layer of painting was destroyed, there was still another layer inside. This was a landscape painting, and there was blood stains on it. It seemed that this was the scroll.
Sure enough, this is not a landscape painting, this is a map of the ancient tomb. It seems that the man is of some use. Yueyao was very excited. After putting away the painting, he immediately left the old man's yard. About a quarter of an hour later, a
The figure took away the man in black in the flower garden.
After Yueyao returned to the main courtyard, she remembered that Alan's father was still in the house, so she had to go to the study. She sat in the study and spread the map flat on the table.
There were bloodstains on the map, and the bloodstains had been visible for a long time. She smelled the bloodstains on it, but there was no smell. She took out a small knife and gently scratched the scroll, and she actually scraped out some.
Brown powder.
She poured the powder into the cup, then poured a drop of water. After the powder melted, she smelled it carefully again.
The smell was slightly fragrant, indicating that the person with the blood stains had been poisoned. The blood stains on it did not belong to Alan's father, so whose blood stains could it be? Who else was buried in the tomb back then? She had asked many servants before,
The servants didn't seem to know much about this matter. Moreover, only the second uncle in the mansion was involved in the accident that year, but the old man at that time spread the word that the second uncle died because he contracted a serious illness while going out to do business.
