The waiter no longer concealed his intentions and said directly, "Look, you are the accountants and housekeepers in the house. It's enough to live in such an upper room when you go out. But that rich and humble handyman just now actually
I can live there, I think.”
"Do you still have any shortage of odd jobs in your house? You two can help me introduce them."
"I don't have any other advantages. I'm just that my legs and feet are very nimble, and I'm also very hardworking. Running errands for my wife is no problem!"
Yun Zhi couldn't help but said with a smile, "You're a little bitch, you're so mean-spirited, you dare to abandon your old master after just seeing us once. Aren't you afraid that I'll tell your shopkeeper?"
The waiter had an expression of fearlessness on his face, but he turned around and glanced at the door. After confirming that no one was there, he replied, "You can't help it, right?"
"To be honest, I can't work in this store anymore. I was planning to find a new job, and I just happened to meet you. What do you think this is if it's not fate?"
Yun Zhi had no intention of going around with this unimportant person anymore, and was about to blast the waiter out bluntly, but Ji Wenxuan grabbed his sleeve and said, "Are you telling the truth?"
"Old sir, what I said cannot be true anymore! As long as you are willing to help me and my wife introduce me, I will definitely do everything possible to repay you two for your great kindness!!"
Ji Wenxuan smiled and waved his hand, "There's no need to be a cow or a horse, you—"
As soon as the waiter heard Ji Wenxuan's words, he knew that he was in trouble. He was so excited that he immediately knelt down and kowtowed. The old housekeeper looked ordinary, but judging from their every move, they definitely did not come from an ordinary family. If he could get in,
, not to mention having no worries about food and clothing for the rest of my life, maybe I can follow the chickens and dogs to heaven!
Now, he can feel proud and avenge his previous humiliation!
"Bang——", the door that had just been closed was opened with a palm from the outside, "Guo Song!"
"I asked you why you couldn't find me wherever I looked. It turns out you are here to be courteous to others!"
Yunzhi trembled in shock at this question, but Ji Wenxuan raised his eyebrows and looked at the source of the sound with Yunzhi.
Guo Song himself was petrified on the spot and did not dare to look back.
"What? You have the courage to do it, but you don't have the courage to admit it?"
"I'm really sorry for you two. It was me who failed to discipline my servants and caused trouble for you two."
The woman walked in slowly and bowed weakly to Ji Wenxuan and Yun Zhijiao, "I am the shopkeeper of this inn. My surname is Baidan, and my last name is Qing. It means Qing after the rain. I wonder who you two are?"
"
Before Yunzhi could react, she changed her expression, put her hands on her hips, pointed at the waiter named Guo Song, and started scolding her.
Yunzhi and Ji Wenxuan looked at each other awkwardly. The landlady was so careless that she scolded the waiter in front of them. Could it be that they thought they had started the conversation and were going to trick her waiter?
"Hey! Boss lady, the shopkeeper!"
"This is your store's business. We still have to rest, why not"
Ji Wenxuan took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire and said, "When people go to higher places, water flows to lower places. The boss lady is a businesswoman. Don't you still know this truth?"
Yunzhi turned around in surprise, what's up with Prime Minister Ji's attitude of not taking it too seriously to watch the excitement? Doesn't he think this place is not chaotic enough?!
The boss lady's anger really came out, she pointed at herself and Guo Song and said, "Me?"
"he?"
"He still wants to go higher? He doesn't even think about who took him in when he was kicked out like a dog?!"
"It's only been a few days?! It's not even a month, right? Are you thinking about climbing to another high level?!"
"It's true that a biting dog doesn't bark. I usually look very attentive, but when I see a better place to go, I immediately turn my back on you. Guo Song, you are really kind!"
Guo Song was scolded unilaterally for a long time, and he became angry. He choked and said, "I am running the show here, not selling it to you!"
"you!"
Bai Qing was so angry that he immediately turned around and left, leaving Guo Song standing there helplessly, and two onlookers who were waiting to see the fun and didn't think it was a big deal.
Now Guo Song is either chasing or staying. Who knew that the shopkeeper would suddenly rush in?!
Turning his head to look at Yun Zhi, he also had a joking look on his face. Guo Song was so embarrassed that he threw his hands away and ran away. He had better stabilize the shopkeeper first!
Yunzhi walked over to make sure there was no one else outside the door several times, then closed the door with a clean face, turned around and asked Ji Wenxuan why he insisted on teasing the waiter.
"Guo Song has done a good job, but you came here to offer a few words of courtesy, and you just tempted him to defect. It's really unethical..."
"You don't think my belly is so small that I dug a hole just to wait for him to jump, do you?"
Yunzhi asked curiously, "Isn't it?"
"Did you see the badge tied around the waiter's waist?"
Yunzhi nodded, "Then...is there anything wrong?"
Ji Wenxuan picked up the half cup of tea again, took a sip and said, "Well, there's nothing wrong with it. It's just this brand. It's exclusive to the Chenliu and Wang family."
"Wang?"
Yunzhi lowered his head and thought carefully, "When I was young, I came to Chenliu with my mother for a wedding visit, and they seemed to have such a brand on their waists."
"It's not like it seems, but it must be. Your cousin Wang Xuan is a cautious person. In order to prevent someone from the Wang family from causing trouble outside, everyone in the Wang family is given a special waist badge. With this, they can enter and leave the palace. Once
If someone dares to cause trouble outside, the victim can use this sign to come to the palace to sue."
"Then how come that waiter just now has Wang's badge?!"
Only then did Yun Zhi gradually realize that something was wrong.
Ji Wenxuan put down his tea cup, "That's what's strange, but you didn't listen to the shopkeeper's scolding. He was once kicked out like a dog. I think he ended up living in this inn at that time."
"Otherwise, you think we are just passing through here to stay in a hotel, so why is he so enthusiastic? How can an ordinary waiter have such a good vision?"
"Butler Cheng has such a sharp eye!"
"I just assume you are complimenting me." Ji Wenxuan looked up at the sky and said, "This inn is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."
Yun Zhi looked at Ji Wenxuan in confusion, but Ji Wenxuan suddenly stood up and said, "Yun Accountant, please rest first. I have some things to discuss with my wife, so I have to go ahead."
"Why!"
Yun Zhi didn't react, and Ji Wenxuan floated past like a gust of wind, his legs and feet even more agile than that of a middle-aged man like him.
"Well what does that mean!"
Ji Wenxuan greeted Lin Jin at the door, and after receiving Sheng Shaoqing's order, he went straight in.
"Ma'am, what do you think is habitable?"
Sheng Shaoqing nodded happily, "Although this place is not as good as the mansion, I'm still used to it."
"Are we staying here?"
Ji Wenxuan nodded and said loudly, "Since Madam likes this place, she will just stay here. The matter of finding relatives should be dealt with slowly."
Sheng Shaoqing instantly received Ji Wenxuan's hint and coughed lightly, "That's it, that's it."
"But the deadline is approaching, won't three days be too little?"
Ji Wenxuan shook his head and said, "I hope Madam will stay calm for a while. It involves a hundred-year plan for the government, so it's better to be cautious."
Ji Wenxuan suddenly came closer and said in a low voice, "This inn is not simple. I hope Madam will be careful in everything."
Sheng Shaoqing raised his voice and whispered, "Is this a black shop?"
"That's not true, but it's always a good idea to be cautious."
"Madam, do you still remember the waiter who led us before?"
"This man's name is Guo Song. He used to work for Wang's family. He was kicked out of Wang's family for unknown reasons a month ago, so he came to this inn to work as a waiter."
Sheng Shaoqing said in surprise, "You found out so quickly?"
Ji Wenxuan smiled awkwardly, "The old servant didn't ask much about it."
It's just that the bait is placed and the fish takes the bait on its own.
"I understand, you and Yun. Accountant should also be more careful."
Ji Wenxuan also nodded, and after leaving the door, he whispered a few words to Lin Jin. Lin Jin cupped his fists and said, "Young man, I swear to protect Madam Zhou Quan to the death!"
Ji Wenxuan awkwardly patted Lin Jin on the shoulder, "People who practice martial arts are full of energy."
After saying that, Ji Wenxuan was not in a hurry to go back to the room, wandered down the stairs, and ducked into the backyard.
Sheng Shaoqing had been feeling uneasy since Ji Wenxuan left. After thinking about it, he immediately called Cui Yun and said, "I'm a little hungry. Go ask the shopkeeper what food is available in the shop and choose a few for her to deliver."
Cui Yun frowned and was extremely confused: "Madam, you ate three full bowls of rice before going out, and you also ate a whole plate of cloud cakes on the carriage. This has just passed, are you really hungry?"
The Queen Mother could eat before, but she had never been able to eat like this.
Sheng Shaoqing pressed Cui Yun's hand as big as a plate and urged, "Go, go, go, I'm just hungry."
After a while, the shopkeeper walked in charmingly with a food box.
Behind him was Cui Yun, who looked helpless.
Cui Yun also didn't understand why the shopkeeper suddenly changed his expression as if he heard something strange when he heard that his wife wanted some food and drink, and said that he would prepare it himself, and even took the time to change clothes?
"I just had something to do when I went out. I didn't know that a distinguished guest was coming to the store. I hope you'll forgive me for not treating me well."
One by one, the shopkeeper took out the food from the food box and placed it in front of Sheng Shaoqing's eyes, "These are our store's signatures. Madam, do you want to try them?"
Sheng Shaoqing raised his eyes and looked at the shopkeeper, and saw a line of small words flickering faintly on the top of her beaded head: I would like to see what the wife of my shop's capable waiter looks like when she just arrived!
Sheng Shaoqing swallowed silently, "System, can't you enlarge the font size?!"
【receive!】
After that, the words above the shopkeeper's head soared into the sky, all the way to the ceiling, and the line of small words she just saw was just the tip of the iceberg covered by pearls and emeralds.
"Forget it, forget it, you'd better keep it quiet."
Seeing that he had put the dishes on the table, the lady in front of him had not moved for a long time. Bai Qing was also a little panicked, "Madam, are you not satisfied with these?"
Cui Yun walked forward silently, "Madam doesn't like people around when eating, so you can go down first."
Before food from outside goes into the Queen Mother's belly, it has to go through multiple layers of inspection. However, if there are outsiders present, in order not to reveal his identity, it is better to let the shopkeeper go.
Before Bai Qing met Sheng Shaoqing, he thought that she must be a charming and beautiful lady to seduce Guo Song's attention, and she would even go back with her even if she did not hesitate to do anything.
But she didn't expect that she would see such a noble and elegant woman in front of her.
But yes, those two just now were just accountants and housekeepers, but their temperaments were different from ordinary people, let alone their masters.
Bai Qing laughed to himself, thinking that he really... put away his thoughts of competing with Sheng Shaoqing, and silently turned around and retreated.
"System! Help me check this person's identity!"
Anyone who can make Ji Wenxuan wary must not be a good person, so it would be better to let her try it out first.

Sheng Shaoqing:??????
"I haven't seen you for a few days. Are you so high-end?"
System Aoran: [That’s natural!]
【High-end?】
Sheng Shaoqing nodded silently in his heart, "High-end."
【In exchange for points.】
Sheng Shaoqing:!!!!!!
[Regular maintenance of the system is one of the responsibilities of the host. This is already written in the contract. 】
"When did you sign it? Why didn't I know?!"
[During the time when you were comatose, of course, in order to better integrate you with the world here, I have removed this part of the memory. 】
"Okay, sign an unequal treaty, right? I can bear it." Sheng Shaoqing clenched his fists and said, "Then this Bai Qing is not a threat?"
[Whether she is aggressive or not depends on you.]
[Of course, now it still depends on Ji Wenxuan.]
Sheng Shaoqing:??????
What did Ji Wenxuan do behind her back?
As soon as Ji Wenxuan stepped into the backyard, he saw Guo Song sitting behind the corridor wiping tears.
"Boy, boy, why are you crying here?"
When Guo Song saw that Ji Wenxuan was coming over, he quickly wiped his tears with his sleeves and said firmly with his red and swollen eyes, "It was a windy and sandy spring day. I was just blinded, so I didn't cry!"
Ji Wenxuan pursed his lips and expressed his understanding of this face-saving behavior. He immediately changed the subject and said, "I just want to ask you, is there a family named Wang Yuan in your Qingshiban Township?"
When the Wang family was mentioned, Guo Song immediately became nervous, "Why do you ask this?"
Ji Wenxuan smiled and said, "You asked me so many questions just now. Didn't I tell you the truth? In return, what's the harm in answering my question?"
Guo Song hesitated for a moment, "Yes, he is the mayor of our township."
"Do you know what kind of person he is?"
Guo Song was smarter this time and didn't ask Ji Wenxuan directly. He just said, "I'm just a waiter in this small inn. How can I know what kind of person he is?"
Ji Wenxuan was surprised and said, "Since he is your township official, wouldn't you see him when you pay taxes and pay the store clerk on weekdays?"
Bai Qing suddenly appeared out of nowhere and interrupted Ji Wenxuan's routine, "Old sir, please don't embarrass the boy in my shop. With the pomp of the lady upstairs, she wants to see our country official.
