In ancient times, I just wanted to be a salted fish

Chapter 171 Support and Courage

After they finished counting the accounts and returned to the backyard to rest, Chen Ruotong kept Feng Liangyu.

"Old Feng, starting tomorrow, you will start monitoring Butler Qiao and see what he does.

Today, Tian hit a snag with me and lost face. He must be feeling very upset and he probably needs to find someone to help him out.

Then the best person to tell should be Butler Qiao. If you find the two of them together, find a way to inform Qiao Zhenbang..."

"Sir, I will definitely fulfill your mission."

"Old Feng, how are those little brothers you trained?"

"My Lord, those six kids are very smart and quick on their feet. They can definitely complete some small surveillance and message-delivery tasks!"

"That's good. If we want them to grow quickly, we have to hone them through practice! If they are short of money, we can withdraw money from Zhou Qian. We can't let those children suffer losses!"

"Yes, sir. Those children now have good food and shelter. But beggars' clothes make it easier for them to perform their tasks, so Old Feng didn't buy them any clothes."

"Okay, let them eat well, drink well, and live well. Just make sure they don't get too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. It's up to you!"

"Yes, sir, if there is nothing else, Old Feng will go to rest!"

"Well, have a good sleep and keep a close eye on Butler Qiao tomorrow!"

Since Chen Ruotong found someone following her last time, she came back and told Feng Liangyu about it. She complained that she had too few tracking talents available and needed to train more.

Feng Liangyu told her that ever since he asked a little beggar to pass a note to Wu Qiming, he had reached an agreement with several little beggars. If there was a job of running errands and delivering letters, he would give them the job and then pay them a certain amount of silver.

The little beggars readily agreed and started to follow Lao Feng. They all called him "Boss".

Feng Liangyu discovered that among the more than ten little beggars, six children had potential.

So we focused on training them. Not to mention these clever little ones, they learned how to follow and run errands very quickly, and they did it quite well.

So he decided to take in an apprentice so that he could better complete the tasks assigned by his master in the future.

The next day, Feng Liangyu sent two young disciples to keep watch near the Princess's Mansion.

He also brought two young apprentices with him to guard the gate of the Marquis's mansion and observe the whereabouts of the butler Qi.

Butler Qi had to go outside the city almost every day to the underwear workshop on the farm to supervise and manage the affairs of the workshop, and he would stay there overnight every now and then.

I didn't find any intersection between him and Tian, ​​but I found that his relationship with his old lover, Shuangxi, was becoming more and more obvious.

Even some embroiderers had heard the news, but they just pretended not to know.

June 28th is an auspicious day, and Huicui Building and Zhenpin Pavilion officially opened on this day.

As in the past, they just set off a few firecrackers in front of Huicui Building to attract the attention of passers-by, and that was considered a grand opening.

Zhang Yishun happened to rush into the capital early this morning to support Chen Ruotong, and immediately plunged into the tense and busy opening of the business.

The guests who came to support the event included Zhen Yu, Wei Bufan, Qiao Zhenbang, Qiao Zien, He Zhiping and several familiar faces, and the rest were guests.

Due to the previous soft opening warm-up, there were a lot of guests at the official opening today.

For a moment, the third floor was crowded with people. Fortunately, Zhen Yu brought a few men, dressed in yamen uniforms, to maintain order. The scene was slightly more orderly.

Among this group of guests, there were not only second and third rank court officials and their families, but also many prominent nobles such as dukes and earls.

Some of them come purely for the fun, others really hope to buy some rare and precious items, but there is also a small number of people with ulterior motives and other bad intentions.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Xuanwu also came here after retiring from court.

However, this time he appeared at the scene as Song Xuanyi.

When the officials and royal family members saw the emperor in person, they were all shocked and wanted to kneel down and kowtow to welcome the emperor.

At this moment, Xiao Lizi blinked gently and waved his hand, and everyone immediately understood: It turned out that the emperor was on a private visit this time, and he was also curious about the famous Huicui Tower and wanted to come and see it in person.

After all, this is a popular internet celebrity destination and a famous check-in spot. Even the emperor can hardly resist its huge attraction!

Witnessing the close interaction between the Fourth Young Master Chen and the Emperor, and hearing the affectionate calls of "Brother Song" and "Guchuan", everyone suddenly realized that this Fourth Young Master Chen obviously had a special friendship with the Emperor.

It turns out that this Fourth Master Chen actually has a powerful backer, the Emperor!

Those who want to buy various items must act quickly; those who just want to join in the fun and see something new should buy something to show their appreciation; as for those who have ill intentions and bad ideas, they have to put their thoughts aside and buy something!

When those high-ranking officials and dignitaries saw Chen Ruotong, they all nodded and bowed with smiles on their faces, saying auspicious words such as congratulations on the successful opening of the business, prosperous business, and rolling in wealth...

Chen Ruotong couldn't help but think to herself: Oh my, why do I suddenly feel like a fox relying on the power of a tiger? No, no, a dog relying on the power of a person? Bah, bah, bah, that's even more wrong! To be more precise, it should be that now there is someone who can support me and give me courage!

She couldn't help but smack her lips and sighed, "Hehehe, this feeling is really indescribable! Hey, why am I a little proud?"

In fact, Emperor Xuanwu chose to be present in person on the opening day just to support Chen Ruotong.

He just wanted to take this opportunity to show his attitude to those officials, and tell them that as long as he was Chen Guchuan's solid backing, no one would dare to attack this building! All of you, be quiet, and do what you need to do!

With Emperor Xuanwu, such an extremely dazzling living signboard, sitting here, who would dare to come and cause trouble without knowing the consequences?

I'm afraid that by then everyone will rush to buy the goods and try their best to please and curry favor with them!

Emperor Xuanwu just came to show his face and tell everyone: This is the place I protect, don't act rashly! He stayed for about five minutes and then left.

Everyone then breathed a sigh of relief, the tense atmosphere became lively again, and everyone started to buy the items they liked.

At this time, a little beggar mixed into the crowd, came up to Qiao Zhenbang, stuffed a note into his hand, and ran away.

Qiao Zien had sharp eyes and saw this scene, so she came to Qiao Zhenbang.

Qiao Zhenbang left the crowd, walked out of the door, opened the note, and saw a few crooked words on it: Wenxiang Tower, between the characters "Ren", Tian meets her lover.

Qiao Zhenbang didn't even bother to say goodbye to Chen Ruotong, and hurried to Wenxiang Tower, with Qiao Zien following closely behind him.
