Chapter 120: Visitation

After drinking a few bowls of wine and eating a few bites of food, Lu Yun called the proprietress again and beat a large bowl of white rice for the two of them as the staple food.

This made Wang Baoshan even more surprised, you must know that in the years of famine, it is easy to understand that meat is rare, but such a big bowl of white rice is unbelievable!

The proprietress of the draw restaurant seems to be hiding something, otherwise there would be a famine outside, but she has enough white rice here, and it seems that she has a lot of food.

Even Lu Yun was curious, and he asked the proprietress and said, "Boss, there are people starving to death outside every day, but your warehouse is full of grain! I don't know why?"

The proprietress smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this, just store the grain in advance." Besides, those poor people who are starving to death, why don't they come to me, I have food...... Hehe......"

"You're a great good man, and you're still ...... as before."

After hearing this, Lu Yun couldn't help but be impressed and admired by her kindness, and wanted to express his gratitude, but he was afraid of revealing his identity, so he had to sigh a few words from the bottom of his heart.

"It's not easy! I can help a little bit, it's also a matter of duty, and if he is in trouble, they will help me in turn......"

The proprietress didn't care, and she was kind to herself, saying that she was very ordinary and didn't care much about other people's opinions.

Wang Baoshan was on the side, listening to it with a blatant thought, and it was not good to suspect what the other party was in his heart.

After all, a recognized good person, the virtues in his body naturally exist, and they also have a certain degree of authenticity, otherwise everyone would not, as always, sincerely respect her.

Although until now, the doubts in his heart have not only not been solved, but also deepened. But it doesn't hinder the reverence for this proprietress either.

"How can you guess so accurately that last year's drought would bring disaster?"

Wang Baoshan ate white rice, feeling greasy and fragrant, with a sweet aftertaste, he was not curious, and asked this question.

"This guest officer is not bad, he can think of so many things...... Hehe...... Actually, this is not what I guessed, but what Mr. Zhou, a neighbor next door, said......"

It was now morning, and there were no guests entering the store to drink and eat, so the proprietress pulled over a bench and sat not far from Wang Baoshan.

For his questions, she also answered all questions, looked indifferent, and praised the Mr. Zhou in her mouth.

She said that Mr. Zhou, who is not very old, is very knowledgeable.

With Xuefu Wuche, she is not a problem. She reads poetry and books not to say, but also has her own unique views on some things, not to say that things are like gods, but she can also guess seven, seven, eight, eight.

And Mr. Zhou, every once in a while, will come to this draw restaurant, order a few side dishes, and a pot of turbid wine, and take it back to enjoy it yourself, which is also a strange person!

I have been going back and forth a lot, so I naturally said more to the proprietress and told her to pay more attention to the way of doing business and avoid a lot of business risks.

"Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhou is still so amazing!"

After hearing this, Lu Yun interjected his own emotion, which attracted the proprietress to nod her head again and again, and the conversation increased.

"That's not it! Mr. Zhou's house has a collection of more than 10,000 books, and the house is full of books......

"Are there so many books?"

When Wang Baoshan heard her say this, he couldn't help but be frightened.

"Of course, is this still fake?"

The proprietress seemed to be very puzzled by his surprise, and after taking a serious look at him, she shook it again, as if she was looking at a fool.

Wang Baoshan didn't understand what she meant when he saw her like this, and looked at Lu Yun with an inquiring look.

"Brother Wang doesn't know, this Mr. Zhou is a scholarly protégé. The collection of books at home, but in this Guanping City, it is second to none, and more than 10,000 words are not false......"

After Lu Yun said this to him, he smiled at the proprietress again: "This is my friend, who just came here, so I don't know Mr. Zhou, I hope the proprietress will not blame!"

As soon as he said this, the proprietress hurriedly got up, gave them two of them, saluted, and said, "Where...... Where...... The guest officer said seriously, how dare you blame you, an old woman. ”

Seeing her like this, Wang Baoshan was very embarrassed, the other party would be so knowledgeable, which made him a little unexpected, he had to get up and return the salute.

"You're tormenting me to wait, I'm new here, if you're a little inconsiderate, please excuse me!"

"It's okay...... Anyway...... Please be seated ......"

Wang Baoshan looked at her face, smiling all the time, and didn't look angry, so he asked her: "I don't know you, do you know that there are shops selling books around here?"

After hearing this, the proprietress shook her head, indicating that she didn't know much about it, and what else she said: Now in this year, my stomach can't be filled, who is still in the mood to read!

Wang Baoshan thought about it, that's the same, otherwise why would the folk customs of this Guanping City be so strong!

"However, you can go to Mr. Zhou's house and ask about the situation to see if you can buy what you want......

The proprietress was quite enthusiastic, and seeing his somewhat disappointed expression, she didn't forget to remind him.

"This ......"

Wang Baoshan didn't answer immediately, but looked at Lu Yun with a wry smile.

"Brother Wang, what books do you want to buy? Why don't we go and ask. ”

Lu Yun said, got up to settle the bill, took out an ingot of five taels of silver, and paid for the meal.

The proprietress smiled and shirked for a while, insisting that she had given too much and wanted to give him change, and entered the back room of the lobby.

But when she came out again, Wang Baoshan and Lu Yun had already left the draw restaurant and came to the street.

They turned a street corner and slipped into a small alley, deliberately avoiding the proprietress who was chasing after them.

"General, do you really want to buy books?"

Lu Yun asked him curiously while leading the way in front.

"Yes, it's a rare trip into the city, and I'm going to bring something back with me......"

Wang Baoshan said, and began to think about what to buy.

This narrow alley, winding, with courtyard houses on both sides, dilapidated, and moss and green plants growing everywhere, also adds a little novelty to this gray alley.

It seems that spring has arrived, whether in the city or outside the city, there are green embellishments everywhere, which also brings a little thriving vitality to this barren land.

After they walked forward for a while, they turned a few lanes and came to the gate of the Zhou Mansion.

"Smack...... Smack......"

Lu Yun stepped forward and knocked on the door, which he had never knocked on before.

"Smack...... Smack......"

He knocked again, but there was no answer, and then he knocked again.

Maybe it was Lu Yun, who knocked on the door many times, and after a long time, there was a rush of footsteps and a crisp complaint from inside the door.

"Here we are...... Who's knocking on the door early in the morning......"

"Squeaky ......"

When the door was opened a small crack, a young and delicate little face appeared inside the door.

It was a little girl of about twelve or thirteen years old, and at this time, with a dissatisfied look, she looked at the two strangers outside the door in confusion.

Wang Baoshan saw that she was complaining, and hurriedly accompanied her smiling face, and said, "Excuse me, your husband is at home?"

"Not in ......"

The little girl, after glancing at them, did not say anything, and slammed the door shut, and looked at her appearance, and did not want to say a word to him.

When Lu Yun saw him, he was a little embarrassed, and said, "General, I see ......."

When Wang Baoshan heard this, he hurriedly interrupted what he wanted to say and said, "No matter what, we are all here to beg others, and this time you enter the city, you can't be like before, you know?"

"Yes......"

Lu Yun was so said by him, and he dispelled his original idea.

After all, he used to want anything, and he could get it at his fingertips, there was no need at all, to spend money to buy it, and he didn't even have to ask anyone.

He felt that the two of them were not the same last night, and went directly into someone's house without anyone's permission, and took away their treasures without knowing the ghosts.

At the moment, why bother, it's better to repeat the old trick. It's both trouble-free and labor-saving, so why not!

"Other people's things are not easy to come by, how can you just take them and grab them. Therefore, no matter what, you can be convinced by virtue. ”

"General, what you said is very true, I will remember it......"

Under Wang Baoshan's persuasion, Lu Yun nodded and did not fall, and he repented.

Unfortunately, at this moment, the door that had just been closed was opened again, and the little girl inside the door, with a surprised expression, praised it: "Good one, do not do to others what you do not want to be done......!" Nice......"

Just now, he was vigilant, and he refused to leave the door like a thief, but now why did he suddenly change his attitude, and opened the door, praising Wang Baoshan for what he said?

This coming and going really surprised Wang Baoshan and Lu Yun outside the door.

"Why are you two here?"

The little girl ignored their surprise and asked directly.

Wang Baoshan was asked by her, and hurriedly told all the intentions.

When the little girl heard this, she smiled and said, "I can't do this yet, so you two wait here for a while, and let me go and tell my husband, and then I can tell ......."

She finished speaking, closed the door, and walked away with broken steps.

Wang Baoshan was still wondering, and he didn't understand what she meant.

Through a brief exchange just now, he found that this little girl, dressed plainly and thin, must be a maid in the house this week.

But last night, didn't Lu Yun say that there was only Mr. Zhou in the house this week, why is there another maid now?

Lu Yun was also a little depressed, and said, "I haven't seen her before! Maybe it's been the past two years before I came to the house......

When Wang Baoshan heard him say this, he didn't care much about the little girl just now, but became more and more curious about that Mr. Zhou.

He didn't know what kind of sacredness the other party was, and he could make the people nearby praise him.

Is it really outstanding in learning and has seen people?
