_Chapter 24 The Existence of Reason I
After thinking about it for a while, Fan Hongdao couldn't think of any way to retaliate against Yang Honestly, so he could only put aside this matter for the time being, and said that he would improvise when he returned to Yang's house. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Then he was faced with a more realistic question, where to settle down tonight? Of course, now Fan Hongdao is no longer worried about not having a choice, but a question of how to choose, because he has money.
What is the purchasing power of the silver in his hand? As a traverser, Fan Hongdao is not very familiar with the monetary unit of silver, so he can't help but think about it for a while.
The noble girl Zhu Shufang "lent" him two small silver ingots, one five taels, and two were ten taels. I also heard that the eldest young master of the Yang family went to the slightly high-grade Fengyue place yesterday, and the wine money plus the night money of the beauty was two taels of silver.
It's just that Young Master Yang couldn't pay the bill, which led to embarrassment, although he got out, but afterwards maybe the prostitute would go to Yang's house to collect debts.
If Young Master Yang had Fan Hongdao these two silver ingots in his pocket at that time, he would have been able to pay the bill easily, and he would not have lost that person.
After assessing his spending power through this price level, Fan Hongdao looked up to the sky and sighed.
Where to settle down tonight is both a practical and a philosophical question, and it also involves a number of areas of human psychology.
In the end, the rationality of the mind triumphed over the sensibility of the heart, and Fan Hongdao made the most sober decision with absolute reason. So after he got out of the restaurant, he decisively went to Gouqian Hutong, a famous fireworks holy place in Beijing.
The East Courtyard Gooyan Hutong is located on the east side of Chongwenmen Inner Street and Dengshikou, and the place is not remote and easy to identify. During the day, Fan Hongdao followed Yang Laoshi through this road, but he shook it at the mouth of the alley and didn't go in.
Although Fan Hongdao had never been to the alleys of the East Courtyard, he was not worried that he would become a headless fly. He believes that there will be a profession of broker.
For example, the little guy selling melon seeds under the big lantern at the mouth of the alley, I didn't see him shouting his melon seeds, but his eyes kept scanning passers-by.
Therefore, Fan Hongdao dared to assert that this person is definitely not a simple seller of melon seeds.
Fang Cai Fan Hongdao exchanged some broken silver for a handful of copper coins, which was useful at this time. stepped forward and threw a few copper coins to the melon seed boy, and then began to talk.
The melon seed boy saw that the scholar was happy to give money, so he replied very happily.
"What? Your Excellency wants to find a girl who is slightly red, but not too red? It's also a shame that you have found me to inquire, which ordinary people can't handle, and you have to be a young person like me who is familiar with the situation here all year round!"
"I thought about it carefully, and I could figure out seven or eight, and if I removed the ones that would definitely have guests tonight, there would be not much left. It's better to let the small one lead the way for you, and if you don't like it, change to the next one. ”
Fan Hongdao thought about it, nodded in agreement, and of course took out a few copper plates. Then he took a deep breath and followed the melon seed boy towards the alley.
This kind of fireworks land is really different from the ordinary hutong streets, and every house on both sides is lit up, and the streets are as bright as day. In front of each house, there is a "Forget Hachi" who greets customers, all with their signature smiles.
The melon seed boy led Fan Hongdao to stand in front of one of the gates, and asked the person at the door, "Is your girl free tonight?"
Na Wangba took a few steps forward and gave the melon seed boy a few pennies, and at the same time responded: "Now there is only one guest in the hall drinking tea, and the other friends can go in and take a look." ”
At the same time, he skillfully flattered Fan Hongdao: "This son is a talent, my girl is definitely willing to keep you!"
The guests drank tea in the hall, and most of them still chatted with the old bustard, saying that there was no substantive transaction at this time, and it would not prevent other guests from entering. There are many guests gathered, which means that this girl is prosperous, and maybe she can raise the price.
The melon seed boy said to Fan Hongdao: "The little one is waiting here, the son might as well go in and have a look, if it is not agreeable, the small one will be taken to the next one." ”
Fan Hongdao is indispensable, anyway, he came to "sightseeing", and it is the same everywhere, so he entered the courtyard with Wangba.
He looked around, but saw that the flowers and trees in this courtyard were sparse, and it was even more elegant and tidy than ordinary people's homes, but it seemed to be a secluded place for literati. Fan Hongdao couldn't help but secretly think, I heard that the Fengyue field of the Ming Dynasty was very popular with a "home-style" atmosphere, and it really lived up to its name.
Unconsciously, when he came to the front hall, the guest opened the curtain and invited Fan Hongdao to enter. Fan Hongdao bowed his head slightly, walked through the portal, and entered the hall again.
The lights inside were bright, and Fan Hongdao really saw that some guests were sitting on chairs and drinking tea with their heads down. At this time, the guest heard the noise and looked up.
The two of them exchanged glances, and almost at the same time showed a look of astonishment.
Fan Hongdao was taken aback, this guest was none other than the new owner Yang Chaofeng! He was completely unprepared for this, who would have thought that he would meet the owner here and now!
Immediately, Fan Hongdao was rarely embarrassed, which was a rare emotion on him.
In 21st century parlance, the owner is the boss. He Fan Hongdao just went to Yang's house to report today, that is, it was only the first day of work, and he appeared in Willow Lane, Huajie before the seat was warm, and was caught by the boss, what would the boss say in his heart?
What's worse is that when you enter this yard, there is a high probability that you will be mistaken for choosing the same girl as the boss, is there anything more embarrassing than this?
Heaven and earth, if God gives Fan Hongdao another chance, he will definitely not enter this courtyard!
After the initial surprise, Yang Chaofeng's face gradually became strange, "You, why are you here?"
Yang Chaofeng is really strange, Fan Hongdao did show some madness before, but he is not an extremely ignorant person, how could he not return at night tonight and sleep in the willows?
If there is no reasonable reason, then it is really necessary to look down on this Fan Hongdao and reconsider the candidate for Xixi.
And Fan Hongdao was penniless before, and now his head of the family is not at home, Fan Hongdao should not have received the first monthly salary, where did he get the money to come to this fireworks field?
After Fan Hongdao heard Yang Chaofeng's question, he actually wanted to ask rhetorically: Why did you appear here as the owner?
He also thought of some suspicious points, he had just heard that Yang Chaofeng had gone to Tongzhou because of business affairs, how could he appear in the inner city Goulang Hutong?
But he can only think about it, because the other party is the "boss" and his identity is an "employee", how can any employee question the whereabouts of the boss, the rules are the rules.
But how should this question be answered? Fan Hongdao understands that this answer is very important, and if one is not good, he will lose the job he has just received. Although the salary of this job is not high, it is also the basis for a stable life at present.
He thought quickly in his mind, but said slowly: "The owner listens to me, this matter is a long story. ”
Although Yang Chaofeng didn't make it clear, there was a little disapproving expression on his face, and he almost said "You make it up, you continue to make it up".
ps: After almost half a month of treatment, the condition will be better, the medicine is reduced, and there is a half-day time code word every day, and the recovery is updated.
