Chapter 288 Inquiry

Taking steps, shopkeeper Guo quickly ran towards Junli, turned his head and gave the boys behind him a hard look, and smiled at Junli, "Miss Mu, I'm sorry, I didn't take care of it. My servant, let Miss Mu laugh."

  Junli's face softened slightly, shopkeeper Guo felt a little relieved, and it seemed that he was not really angry.

  Picked up the teacup on the table, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Junli, and said with a smile, "If Miss Mu doesn't dislike it, this cup of tea is my apology to Miss Mu on behalf of these ignorant servants."

People talked about this kind of thing, and Junli couldn't refuse, so he took a sip of tea, and then slowly said, "Mu came this time mainly because he wanted to ask shopkeeper Guo about something, but I don't know shopkeeper Guo Can I take a step to speak?"

  Hearing this, Shopkeeper Guo nodded and said with a smile, "I am willing, but how could I not be willing?"

   Talking towards Jun Li, he pointed to the place where he just came in and said, "It's the backyard of the shop. If Miss Mu doesn't dislike it, please move over there."

  Junli nodded. Although his attitude towards shopkeeper Guo was a bit strange, he didn't investigate too much.

   "Guo shopkeeper, you can invite first, you are the owner here, Mu Mou is not willing to turn the customer into the master." Junli said politely.

  Guo shopkeeper thought about it, guessed that Junli might want to keep a low profile, so he didn't give in. He walked in first, and Junli followed closely.

  As soon as she entered the backyard, a middle-aged woman dressed as a businessman walked up to her.

  When the woman saw shopkeeper Guo, her face was a bit ugly. Looking at Junli again, he couldn't help mocking, "Master Guo, you just left without saying a word. Wu thought you had something important to do. So you went to see a girl."

Hearing this, shopkeeper Guo's expression also changed. He subconsciously looked at Junli's expression and saw that she was not unhappy at all. He breathed a sigh of relief and hurried forward, grabbed the middle-aged woman's arm and said, "Wu Elder sister, younger sister, I still have important guests to entertain here, so my younger sister will definitely come to the door in person someday, and apologize to you, how about it?"

  The middle-aged woman looked directly at Junli, then suddenly snorted coldly at Shopkeeper Guo, threw her sleeves and left.

   Seeing this, shopkeeper Guo showed disdain in his eyes, turned around and smiled at Jun Li, "Don't be surprised, Miss Mu, she is just like that, please come inside, Miss Mu."

   "It seems that Mu has made it difficult for shopkeeper Guo." Jun Li said thoughtfully.

  Guo shopkeeper quickly shook his head, "Where is Miss Mu, we can be regarded as acquaintances. If the business is gone, it will be gone, but friends are rare!"

A few words from shopkeeper Guo raised the relationship between himself and Junli by more than one level. He also pointed out intentionally or unintentionally that it was because of Junli that his business failed this time. If Junli had the heart, he would feel guilty. At that time, maybe the jewelry needed by the royal family will be handed over to Linglong Jewelry Shop. At that time, the richest man in the capital will not be the Mu family, but the shopkeeper Guo!

   I have to say that shopkeeper Guo’s plan is sound, but who is Junli? The true temperament is cold-blooded and ruthless. Heartless.

   "Oh." Just a single word, without saying anything, and without any expression of guilt on his face, shopkeeper Guo couldn't help but be disappointed.

   "Shopkeeper Guo, what's wrong with you, is it because of the business just now?" Junli asked with concern.

  Hearing this, shopkeeper Guo quickly put away the expression on his face, and said with a smile, "Oh, I think Sister Wu seems to have misunderstood me, and I'm thinking about how to explain it to her tomorrow."

  Jun Li nodded, this time he didn't let shopkeeper Guo go ahead, but pushed open a door beside him and walked in.

  The moment he stepped into the door, Jun Li suddenly turned his head and said in a low voice, "If you can't explain clearly, it's fine if you don't explain it."

   Shopkeeper Guo froze, and then nodded stiffly.

  Sit down, wait for shopkeeper Guo to also sit down, Jun leaves the door and says, "This time I came to find shopkeeper Guo, mainly because of the painting you gave me last time."

   Shopkeeper Guo was puzzled, "Hua, what's wrong with that painting?"

  Junli shook his head, "No problem, I just want to ask shopkeeper Guo some questions."

  Hearing the words, shopkeeper Guo nodded, "Then Miss Mu, you can ask, I will know everything, and I will say everything."

   "Actually, there is no problem. Mu just wanted to ask, why did shopkeeper Guo give the painting to Mu that day?" Jun Li narrowed his eyes and looked at shopkeeper Guo, not letting go of the expression on her face.

A trace of unnaturalness flashed in the shopkeeper Guo's eyes, and he said, "That day, the servant here actually asked Miss Mu for a lot of money. I gave the painting to Miss Mu as an apology." Puzzled, didn't she already know this, why did she ask again?

   "Oh, shopkeeper Guo, are you sure?" Jun Li smiled half-smile, leaning back slightly, leaning on the back of the chair, looking extremely lazy and unpredictable.

  There was a drop of cold sweat on the forehead of shopkeeper Guo, and he said, "I saw Miss Mu that day, you are dressed in luxurious clothes and have extraordinary temperament, so I want to keep you as a guest."

   Shopkeeper Guo thought about it, and thought it would be better to change it to this reason.

  Junli knew that shopkeeper Guo was not telling the truth, but it was not entirely a lie. He didn't bother with this question any more, and continued, "That painting was passed down from generation to generation by your ancestors, isn't there something passed down?"

  Hearing this, shopkeeper Guo felt a little strange, so he still answered, "No, only this painting. I heard that it was given to my ancestors by others."

   "Oh, someone else? Then your ancestors knew who that person was, why did you give her the painting? Is there a portrait of that person?"

  Hearing Junli's question, shopkeeper Guo felt a little strange. He didn't understand why Junli was so interested in a portrait hundreds of years ago, and the person who left the painting.

  You know, that **** gave the painting to Junli mainly because it was useless to keep the painting at home. In addition, the people on it are vivid, and the way of drawing is different from now, not like drawing with a brush. This is the first time she has seen such a picture. I just wanted to give it to Junli, let her have a fresh picture, and I also have a good impression of her Linglong Jewelry Shop.

"I heard from my mother that the man appeared suddenly and gave the painting to my ancestor. At that time, my ancestor was a poor scholar. He accepted the man's money and promised her to pass on the painting from generation to generation. As for the portrait of that man ..." Shopkeeper Guo shook his head, "No."

  Junli's contemplation is almost the same as that recorded in Naye's history.

only…

"The man asked your ancestors to pass this painting down from generation to generation, didn't he leave anything behind?" Jun Li raised his eyebrows, but she remembered that the wild history said that the woman asked the scholar to hand over the painting to future generations In the hands of a woman named Mu Li.

  Junli's words woke up Shopkeeper Guo, who patted his head and remembered.
