501 Helian Family’s Heir
Yu Shaoqing had left early. The Longmen Escort Agency had yet to open. He waited for a full two hours before the door opened. However, his luck was not very good. No one was escorting to the West City today, but they have a mission in nearby Duang County. They were to fetch a new Gu Master with a reward of five taels.
Duang County was not far, and they could return in a day. This business was not bad, but Yu Shaoqing had to let his wife know first and let her accompany him. Although it was a little tiring, he was worried about leaving his weak wife alone in the inn for an entire day.
Yu Shaoqing specially bought two rose steamed buns on the way back to the inn. Ah Shu liked to eat such beautiful and particular things.
When Yu Shaoqing returned to the inn with the steamed buns, he saw that Madam Jiang had already woken up and was sitting in the middle of the hall talking to the shopkeeper. The waiters in the shop were standing around. Everyone was respectful, as if they were guarding the mafia boss.
Yu Shaoqing frowned. There were so many fierce people. Aren’t they afraid of scaring his Ah Shu? He knew it. He shouldn’t have left Ah Shu here alone.
“Ah Shu.” Yu Shaoqing quickly walked over and blocked his wife behind him. He looked warily at the people who seemed to have swollen faces. “What are you doing?”
The shopkeeper had a huge panda eye and said embarrassedly, “We’re serving Madam breakfast.”
Yu Shaoqing looked at the large table of fragrant food and his expression softened slightly. Then, his gaze landed on the green onions and garlic cloves at the side and he frowned. “Didn’t I tell you that my wife doesn’t eat these?”
Shopkeeper: Then who was the woman who ate most of the food just now?!
“And this. Ah Shu doesn’t eat anything too greasy.” Yu Shaoqing brought out a large bowl of glossy pork belly. “She doesn’t eat pig offal either.” Yu Shaoqing picked out the stir-fried pig intestines and fuqi feipian. “And phoenix claws.” It would damage her image to eat phoenix claws. Ah Shu was a lady from a famous family. She never ate these.
The corners of the shopkeeper’s mouth twitched uncontrollably. He seriously suspected that the woman who crossed her legs and ate like a female bandit was not her.
“That’s right. I already said that I don’t eat these,” Madam Jiang said softly.
The shopkeeper almost knelt down. What about the mouth that was as big as the lion’s roar? Did you eat it?!
Yu Shaoqing said softly, “Ah Shu, I’m here to discuss something with you. I found a job at the escort agency. I’m going to Duang County to pick up an escort.”
“You don’t have to go out to find work. They are also finding escorts,” Madam Jiang said as she looked at the shopkeeper and the others.
“Oh? Really?” Yu Shaoqing looked at the shopkeeper in confusion.
Really, my foot! The shopkeeper limped back to the counter and took out a brocade box the size of two green bricks. “This is why we wanted to find an escort. Please send it to the Capital. This is your reward.” As he spoke, he painfully handed over all his assets.
Yu Shaoqing looked at the large table of white silver and suspected that they had made a mistake. “Isn’t this too much?”
“No, no. The thing I wanted to deliver is very valuable.” The shopkeeper felt bitter and did not dare to say it.
To be able to pay so much remuneration, there must be a priceless treasure inside. Yu Shaoqing solemnly accepted the large box containing a stone. “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely deliver it to you! Speaking of which, where are you sending it to?”
