"It was said by Boss Shi's servants. My house and Boss Shi's house are both in Gongcai Lane. Although one is at the end of the alley and the other is at the end of the alley, the two families have close contacts, and the servants are also familiar with each other." Chen Zhili said , "I heard from his family's servants that the third aunt and the others met Boss Shi just after they left my house."

"Boss Shi has pity on them?" Tao Wenyu guessed.

"I'm not sure, but I don't think Boss Shi is such a soft-hearted person." Chen Zhili knew Shi Zhuo quite well. After all, he was a big businessman with many industries, so he couldn't be too kind.

"No matter what, we should remind Boss Shi and tell him what your third aunt's family has done." Tao Wenyu said.

"Yes, I think so too." Chen Zhili agreed, "I originally thought about going back today and telling my parents to tell Boss Shi. But, Wen Yu, why do you care so much about Boss Shi? know him?"

Tao Wenyu nodded, "I met him on the way to the capital, and he even gave me a pair of jade pendants." Thinking about it now, did Boss Shi already see his relationship with Brother Ren by the pair of jade pendants he gave back then.

"Okay, since you know each other, I won't bother my parents anymore. After school, let's tell Boss Shi." Chen Zhili made a decision.

"it is good."

The afternoon's schoolwork ended easily, and Tao Wenyu and Chen Zhili, who had completed the task ahead of schedule, did not go to the garden anymore, but left the gate of Jinxiu Academy.

"Wen Yu, it's still early, Boss Shi should be in the shop." Chen Zhili said.

"Well, I'll go to the entrance of the alley first." Tao Wenyu said, he quickly walked to the car and horse storage at the entrance of Xifu Alley, and wanted to ask Wei Si to tell him to leave later today, but Wei Si was not there.

Chen Zhili's driver told him that not long ago a man came to take Wei Si away, and Wei Si should be someone he knew.

Tao Wenyu said to the driver: "When Wei Si comes back, tell him that Zhili and I will go to the stone carving shop and come home later."

"Master Tao, don't worry, the little one will definitely bring the words to you."

……

Tao Wenyu and Chen Zhili went straight to the stone carving shop on the main street of the imperial city.

In the lobby of the shop, the boy had just seen off a customer when he saw two familiar gentlemen enter the door.

"Oh, it's Mr. Tao, please come inside!" The waiter was very enthusiastic. Mr. Tao is a distinguished guest that the boss has personally ordered to treat him well, so he can't neglect it.

"I'm looking for Boss Shi, is he there?" Tao Wenyu asked.

"Yes, the boss is in the backyard!" The clerk led Tao Wenyu into the room. After taking two steps, he suddenly remembered something. They came in a carriage from the government, so they lived in the boss's house, and they didn't know what the relationship with the boss was. If they went in so rashly, what if they interrupted the boss's good deeds?

"Miss, do you live in Shifu?" Chen Zhili asked anxiously.

"Yes, she came here in Shifu's carriage."

"Oh my god, then we have to go in." Chen Zhili hurried in, "It must be my cousin, who can't plot against me, and unexpectedly came to plot against Boss Shi again."

Tao Wenyu also said: "Let's go in right away, we can't let her harm Boss Shi."

"Hey—Young masters, that young lady is just a weak woman, how can she hurt our boss?" Even so, the waiter did not dare to stop Tao Wenyu, after all, the boss personally asked him to accompany him as a distinguished guest , even if something breaks, the boss should not blame it.

……

Time went back to two quarters of an hour ago.

Tao Wenxiu was wearing a water-red dress, her face was heavily painted with makeup, and she got off a carriage with a carved mahogany food box in her hand.

Because she was in the Shi family's carriage, when she said she was going to the backyard to deliver soup to Shi Zhuo, the guys didn't dare to stop her and let her in.

Shi Zhuo had just finished carving a hairpin and came out of the stone house when he saw Tao Wenxiu.

Seeing Shi Zhuo wearing dusty and coarse clothes, Tao Wenxiu showed a hint of disgust in her eyes, but she still twisted her body and stepped forward, "Brother Shi, Xiu'er boiled lotus seed soup for you."

Shi Zhuo took two steps back to stay away from her. Ever since he came to his house, this woman has been leaning towards him, making him tireless, "I'm on the same level as your father, call me Uncle Shi!"

"Hehe..." Tao Wenxiu laughed coquettishly, "Brother Shi is so young, how can he be called Uncle Shi!" I can't let you be a generation older than me, otherwise how can I marry you.

Shi Zhuo reasoned with her impatiently, "I still have things to do, Miss Tao, please go back!" He said and walked towards the study.

Tao Wenxiu's face was inherited from Li Lianhua, so it was naturally extremely thick, so there was no reason for her to shrink back easily. She followed Shi Zhuo closely into the study, "Brother Shi, you must be very tired after working for so long. Don't take a hot bath and relax—"

Shi Zhuo interrupted her angrily, "Miss Tao, please respect yourself!" How could Tao County Magistrate, who is so noble and decent, have such a shameless younger generation.

"Brother Shi!" Tao Wenxiu looked like she was about to cry, "Is that why I annoy you?"

Shi Zhuo really wanted to say yes directly, but thinking of the kindness of the deceased magistrate Tao to him, he swallowed the words back, "Miss Tao, please go back!"

Tao Wenxiu knew that things would not go so smoothly, but fortunately she made preparations in advance, "Brother Shi, I can go back, but," she held up the food box in her hand, "This is the lotus seed soup I made for you. After a whole day, you can drink this bowl of soup for my sake!"

She opened the food box, took out the lotus seed soup and put it on the table, "Brother Shi, as long as you drink the lotus seed soup, I will leave immediately!" In order to prove the credibility of her words, she took two steps back and stood at the door s position.

In order to get rid of her, Shi Zhuo didn't even use a spoon, he raised his head and poured the whole bowl of lotus seed soup into his mouth, and with a bang, the empty bowl was placed on the table, "You can go!"

"Brother Shi!" Not only did Tao Wenxiu not leave, but she leaned towards him with a smug smile on her face.

"Why do you—" still not leaving.Before finishing a sentence, Shi Zhuo felt dizzy for a while, and then fell down on the table with a bang.

"Brother Shi, Brother Shi—" Tao Wenxiu yelled twice, seeing that Shi Zhuo didn't respond, she stretched out her hand to push, Shi Zhuo's body shook twice with her movements, without the slightest sign of waking up.

Tao Wenxiu was relieved now, the mochi powder bought by his father was really useful.She stepped forward to support Shi Zhuo's body, trying to move him to the bed in the inner room.After all, she is a peasant girl who often does farm work, Tao Wenxiu still has a lot of strength, although it is difficult to support Shi Zhuo, she can move.

However, Tao Wenxiu was still a little dissatisfied looking at Shi Zhuo's face full of wrinkles and gray hair.It would be great if I had an affair with the Chen family's cousin that day!

……

"Ah Choo—" Chen Zhili, who was walking towards the backyard, sneezed loudly.

Tao Wenyu asked with concern: "Zhili, what's wrong?"

"It's okay!" Chen Zhili rubbed his nose with a veil, "Boss Shi's business is important, let's go in and take a look."

When they arrived in the backyard, the two went to the stone house first. Tao Wenyu pulled the rope outside the stone house, and the bell rang. After waiting for a while, no stone came out.

Chen Zhili said, "Maybe Boss Shi isn't here?"

"Well, let's go to the study!"

When they arrived at the study, the door was wide open. The two walked in, and saw a food box and an empty bowl on the table.

"Could it be that Boss Shi has eaten and rested?" Chen Zhili said, "That's not right, didn't Tao Wenxiu also come in, where is she? It can't be—" He looked at the door of the inner room.

Tao Wenyu ignored the shock of hearing the name "Tao Wenxiu", and kicked open the door.

"Ah—" There was a scream from inside the room, Tao Wenyu and Chen Zhili hurried in, and saw Shi Zhuo lying flat on the bed, beside the bed was a half-dressed woman covering her face with her hands.

"Tao Wenxiu!" Chen Zhili yelled, "You're doing something like this again."

When Tao Wenxiu heard Chen Zhili's voice, she was so ashamed that she couldn't lift her head. She pulled up her clothes in a panic, and said in a low voice, "Cousin, Boss Shi bullied me."

"Bah!" Chen Zhili walked to the bedside, "Do you think I'm blind? Boss Shi was so dizzy by you, how could he bully you? Wen Yu, come and see, what kind of medicine did Boss Shi take?"

Tao Wenyu stepped forward, glanced at Tao Wenxiu, his sister whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and didn't say a word.He took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and said, "This is the beauty pill developed by Brother Ren. Brother Ren said that it can not only improve the skin, but also be good for the body."

Chen Zhili didn't know anything about medicines, and he didn't know whether Shi Zhuo should use them or not.

Tao Wenyu said again: "Anyway, there is no harm in eating it, let Boss Shi try it!"

"That's right!" Chen Zhili nodded.

Tao Wenyu raised Shi Zhuo's head, clamped his mandible with one hand, stuffed the pill into his mouth, pushed his hand up to close his mouth, and the pill slipped down his throat into his stomach.

"Wen Yu, how are you?" Chen Zhili leaned his head closer, and saw that the wrinkles on Shi Zhuo's face gradually flattened, his complexion seemed to have turned white, and the white hair on his sideburns seemed to be less. He sighed: " The Beauty Pill really lives up to its reputation!"

As soon as the words fell, Shi Zhuo's eyelashes fluttered twice, and he slowly opened his eyes, "Young Master Tao?" His voice was still a little hoarse.

"It's me, Boss Shi." Tao Wenyu said, "Zhili, you support Boss Shi first, and I'll go outside to pour a glass of water." He was afraid that there might be a problem with the water on the outside table, so he went around to the small kitchen to get a bowl of.

After Shi Zhuo drank a bowl of water, his dizzy mind came to his senses. He said to Chen Zhili, "You are Brother Kang Yuan's son!"

Chen Zhili nodded yes, and then looked at Tao Wenxiu who was huddled in the corner with a little embarrassment. Shi Zhuo followed his gaze, and the memory of just now came back, and he was furious: "Get out of my house, get out of your family !"

He believed that Tao County Magistrate under Nine Springs would definitely not approve of him helping such morally corrupt juniors.
