Time flies, and ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Taiping Ju has already returned to normal, when Xu Maoxiu and a few people were arrested and imprisoned, the shopkeeper Wu only closed for three days by himself, and did not attract much attention.

At this time, there was an endless stream of cars and horses in front of the door, the hall was full, and the people waiting were sitting or standing under the pergola in front of the door, or eating free refreshments, or looking at the words on the door plaque and laughing.

Xu Maoxiu withdrew his gaze from the window with a little ease, and his eyes were a little sad when he fell indoors.

One hand trembled and grasped a pair of chopsticks and stretched out to the dishes on the plate, but soon there was a click, the chopsticks fell to the ground, and the hand wrapped in the white cloth stayed in the air a little stiffly.

Sister-in-law Ah Song, who was kneeling on the side, hid her face and choked.

"Again." Cheng Jianniang said.

Li Dasco answered yes and stretched out his hand again.

The sound of chopsticks falling to the ground sounded again and again, and the shopkeeper Wu outside the door couldn't help but sigh, and there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and he turned around and saw Fan Jianglin coming quickly.

Fan Jianglin pointed inside and asked with his eyes, Shopkeeper Wu nodded and waved his hand.

The two walked away a few steps.

"Did you tell me about that?" Fan Jianglin asked.

Shopkeeper Wu shook his head.

"As soon as I came, I asked Li Dasco, and the three owners were also inside, so I didn't have time to say it yet." He said.

At the mention of Li Dasco, everyone's faces were a little sad, and they sighed in unison.

Although the hand is connected, it is not good to grasp, let alone pick up a knife to cut vegetables and cook in the future.

If it's someone else, it's enough to have a hand. But for Li Dasco. Hands for furnishings. It's the same as nothing.

With the chopsticks snapping to the ground again, Li Dascoo's hand also fell heavily to the ground, and he bowed his head.

A man's whimper rang out in the room.

Xu Maoxiu couldn't bear to look at it anymore and turned his gaze out the window.

"Lady, lady, didn't you say that you could cure it?"

Sister-in-law A Song cried and knelt down for a few steps, leaned over in front of Cheng Jianniang, crying silently.

"Sister-in-law Asong. What do you mean by that? The maidservant said displeased.

"Words are not the meaning of words." Cheng Jianniang took over and said, "Don't worry. ”

The maidservant took a step back and stopped talking.

"Although it is connected, I can't guarantee how it will be recovered." Cheng Jianniang said, "I can only raise it slowly." ”

What if you can't raise it well? At present, even if I can grasp it in the future, I am afraid that it will be difficult to do fine knife work like before.

There was silence in the room, except for the sobs of Sister-in-law Asong.

"Li Dasco, at what age did you start learning to cook?" Cheng Jiaoniang suddenly asked again.

A whimpering Li paused.

How old is it?

He was a little stunned.

I'm so hungry...

A skinny little child stood in the corner of the kitchen, eating fingers and staring at the busy people on the stove. The aroma was overflowing, and his saliva couldn't stop dripping.

If you learn to cook, you will have something to eat......

I want to learn how to cook. So that you won't go hungry for the rest of your life ...

But when I grew up, I realized that this is not the case.

"Those who are all over Luo Qi are not silkworm breeders." Cheng Jianniang said. [Note 1]

The maidservant sighed.

"Lady, you also said that you can't compose poetry, this is really a good poem." She said.

"I didn't do it." Cheng Jianniang said.

"Who's that?" The maidservant asked.

Cheng Jianniang was silent for a moment.

"I don't know what to do, I can't remember." She turned to the maidservant and said.

How do you talk about poetry? Fan Jianglin and Shopkeeper Wu outside the door glanced at each other, but fortunately, the topic in the room quickly turned back.

"You were six years old and did chores." Cheng Jianniang said, "How many years did it take to become the master?" ”

Perhaps because of the loss of the past, Li Dasco easily reminisces about the past.

"I'm stupid, I don't learn well." He said, with a thick nasal voice, "I didn't take charge until I was twenty-three years old, and I still trusted the old lady Dou's appreciation..."

Speaking of this, my heart hurts a lot.

The people of the Dou family who appreciated him at the beginning, but now they are the people of the Dou family who have abolished him.

The success is also the Dou family, and the defeat is also the Dou family, so to say this, in fact, all this he got was originally an empty one.

"You've been using it for seventeen years." Cheng Jianniang said, "Do you think it takes a long time to practice today's cooking skills?" ”

Li Dasco shook his head.

"You learned to cook with your right hand, didn't you?" Cheng Jianniang asked.

Li Dasco was stunned, it was natural.

"Your right hand is not as good as it used to be, but you still have your left hand." Cheng Jianniang looked at him and said, "I'll give you another seventeen years, how about you start all over again?" ”

Left hand? From scratch?

Li Dasco looked at Cheng Jianniang in a daze, and the others also looked at her.

"Shopkeeper Wu, big brother." Cheng Jianniang didn't say anything more, but looked at the door and shouted.

Shopkeeper Wu and Fan Jianglin hurriedly came in.

"The third brother said that you have something to discuss with me." Cheng Jianniang said.

And so the conversation changed? On the side, Li Dasco was sluggish, Shopkeeper Wu and Xu Maoxiu glanced at each other, and Xu Maoxiu nodded at him.

"Yes, Dou Qi has looked for it several times." Shopkeeper Wu sat down and said, "Ask someone to come to me in person, find the proprietors kneeling and crying, and you have to give us the immortal residence." ”

"The Taiping Residence is ours, and it is not an exaggeration to come back, and the Immortal Residence is not ours, how can we ask for it for no reason?" Cheng Jianniang said.

"He said that this was originally based on the passing fairy of the lady, and now it can be regarded as the return of the goods to the original owner." Shopkeeper Wu said with a smile, "Lady, he is already frightened, saying that he doesn't ask for anything else, just wants a life." ”

"It's ridiculous, for no reason, who would want his life." Cheng Jianniang shook her head and said, muttering for a moment.

There is a reason for the death.

Everyone present said in their hearts.

"Of course, it's not for free," said the shopkeeper Wu, "it's a sale." ”

Xu Maoxiu smiled on the side.

"It's only a matter of time." He said.

Liu Xiaoli's backer has fallen, Dou Qi thinks this immortal residence can still be opened?

Sooner or later, it will be sold cheaply, and now it is too underestimated to give favors under the banner of apologies.

"Since it's a sale. Then let the shopkeeper decide. Cheng Jianniang said.

Should it be? That means that you want to let go of Dou Qiyi. Xu Maoxiu was a little surprised.

"Sister. Isn't that Dou Qi cheap? He frowned and said, "He made it all up!" ”

Xu Bangmao and the others were ready to go in the middle of the night to put Dou Qi's sack into the river.

"Knowing your mistakes can make a difference." Cheng Jianniang said.

This kind of words, which made people feel gentle and peaceful when both men and women, felt a little strange when the people in the room heard it at this moment.

This lady turned out to be such a bodhisattva? But most of the actions are Rakshasas.

Although he couldn't figure out what to do, Xu Maoxiu didn't ask again, but nodded.

"Okay, then according to what my sister said." He said.

Shopkeeper Wu's happy response was, in his opinion. The bigger the business, the better, not to mention that this is also the compensation they deserve for suffering so much trouble.

Cheng Jianniang looked at Li Dascoo again, but Li Dascoo still looked absent.

"Look, I've got another restaurant now." Cheng Jianniang said, "The Dou family's drunken wind building can give you seventeen years, and my two stores can naturally do it, but it depends on whether you dare." ”

Why don't you ask if you want to?

Thoughts flashed through the hearts of the people in the room, with a little puzzlement.

Li Dasco looked at Cheng Jianniang, his lips squirmed twice, and he didn't speak.

"You have suffered a lot in those seventeen years. And in the next seventeen years, you will suffer even more. Cheng Jianniang looked at him and said. And this is different from the previous suffering, the suffering of those seventeen years is the external lack of food and clothing, the suffering of life, the next seventeen years, your food and drink life does not need to worry, your wife, children and mother are worry-free, but you have to live more bitter than those seventeen years, this kind of suffering, is the bitterness of the heart, you have to bear pressure, despair, ridicule and discrimination from others, and self-slackness and decadence under the worry-free life......"

That's right, with wages, eating people's rewards, but not working, not paying for equal work, no one says anything a day or two, what about a year or two? What about three or four years?

That kind of pressure can drive people crazy and crush them.

Li Dasco's body trembled slightly.

"This kind of suffering is more unbearable and painful than the suffering of life, so do you dare to suffer this?" Cheng Jianniang asked.

There was silence in the room for a while, and everyone seemed to be thinking, if they were to be themselves, would they dare to suffer like this? Can you suffer like this?

"Illness can not be cured, life can not be cured." Cheng Jianniang continued, slowly standing up, "Actually, it's all in yourself, how you want, I'll give you how you want, so the most important and crucial thing is how you want to be." ”

Li Dasco took a deep breath and looked at Cheng Jianniang.

"Thank you, lady." He said, leaning over and saluting, "The little one is willing." ”

He has turned over twice and been knocked down twice, he doesn't believe it, and his life really can't be changed, isn't it seventeen years? And again!

Sister-in-law Ah Song covered her mouth and cried again, but this time, her eyes were no longer desperate and sad but joyful.

In the afternoon, Cheng Jianniang got up to say goodbye, and Xu Maoxiu sent him off.

"In the future, my brother will be closer to home." Cheng Jianniang said.

Shicai briefly discussed the future business arrangement of the Immortal Residence, and Fan Jianglin and Xu Maoxiu each took a few brothers to take charge of the two places.

Because Taipingju has a tofu workshop, there are more people left, and Xu Maoxiu took the two of them to the fairy residence in the city.

"Yes." Xu Maoxiu smiled and nodded.

"Are your brothers' injuries okay?" Cheng Jianniang asked.

"It's okay, that little flesh wound just looks scary." Xu Maoxiu said with a smile.

"Are you afraid?" Cheng Jianniang looked at him and asked.

Xu Maoxiu smiled.

"Didn't my sister say that?" He said, "The suffering in my heart is far greater than the suffering of the outside world, and in the same way, the horror of the external situation is not worth mentioning compared with the fear in my heart. ”

Cheng Jianniang smiled and saluted.

"Go ahead, don't think about it." Xu Maoxiu smiled and reached out to lower the curtain.

The carriage drove slowly through the street, sinking westward, and the street was still bustling, and when it approached the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, the road was blocked by the crowd.

"What's wrong?"

The handmaid leaned in and asked.

"What's wrong?" The driver was busy and asked passers-by loudly.

Passers-by looked excited.

"Little Lady Zhu is kneeling at the door of Jingzhao Mansion and shouting injustice!"

Little lady Zhu?

The maidservant is familiar with Jingzhong, but the name is a little unknown.

"The Oiran selected the year before last in the Desheng Building!" The coachman also shouted excitedly, "Both talents and colors." It's rare to see a daughter! He even knelt down in public and shouted injustice! What grievances does she have? ”

The so-called Oiran. It must not be those. It's a prostitute, since most of the prostitutes belong to the Department of Education, very few of them sell themselves into the Department of Education, and most of them are women who are assigned to fill in.

If something happens in the family, the family is involved, and such a woman is more or less wronged in her heart.

The maid sat back, and let the coachman who wanted to throw off the car and go to see the excitement detoured.

"It's not about us." She said.

It's just that this time the maid was wrong, and this matter really has something to do with them.

Five days later. Master Zhou came to visit again, his expression was as respectful as last time, and he was a little more proud.

Sitting still in the room, he pushed the deed over without speaking.

"What is this?" Cheng Jianniang asked.

"This is the lady's Yichun Hall." Master Zhou said with a smile.

Cheng Jianniang stretched out her hand and took it and looked at the deed in her hand.

"So fast?" She said, although her face was as usual, her voice revealed a little surprise, obviously she didn't expect this matter, "Someone pushed the wall so soon?" Can you still push it down? ”

"It was the family of an official who was framed by Liu Xiaoli at the beginning, and he was framed for guilt at the beginning. Sent to Nanzhou, died on the way. Rape again....cough cough....forced to death his daughter, a young girl about eight years old, was sold into the teaching department, when the official's wife bit her tongue and committed suicide, she hid a grievance blood book and evidence into the arms of the young girl, but also Liu Xiaoli negligence did not cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so many years this woman has always kept in mind the hatred, this time to get the opportunity to beat the drum and cry out the grievances, although His Majesty sympathized with Liu Xiaoli's sick body, but helplessly Yu Shitai refused to let go. Master Zhou said with a little pride, and his eyebrows fluttered.

"Oh, I know, that day the street said that the little lady Zhu of Desheng Lou was the Oiran of Desheng Building, it turned out to be her." The maidservant said suddenly, thinking of what she had heard on the street that day.

"Yes, that little lady Zhu never complained in the teaching department, she was very obedient and well-behaved, and she worked harder than others in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, song and dance, and cried in the hall that day, so that she was not for anything else, just to win fame, so that she could treat her with her own right-hand man and avenge her parents." Master Zhou said with a little emotion, "What a strong woman." ”

"Toughness alone won't work, right?" Cheng Jianniang said, "Uncle has also made a lot of efforts, right? ”

A criminal official Yu family member bearing the name of an oiran may attract more attention, but it is not enough to shake the emperor's compassion.

Master Zhou smiled, and couldn't help but be even more proud.

"He Liu Xiaoli can play tricks behind his back, can't I? Who hasn't had their own people to help the troubles and find some more taboo sins under His Majesty, not to mention, an adult who is paralyzed by wind is no longer needed by people, and from this time on, no one will be used by him anymore. He said.

Cheng Jianniang smiled and did not speak.

"Although His Majesty is compassionate, and because he is sick, he can't cure his crimes, but several of his sons have been sent to prison for investigation, and their family wealth has also been checked, oh, I didn't expect this guy to have so many hidden fields...."Master Zhou continued, his eyes lit up.

With so much money in the industry, there are naturally not a few people like him who have heard that their eyes are shining.

And these people will definitely make Liu Xiaoli's situation worse again.

"It's just that I'm a humble person, and it's not my turn to start, but I still got Yichun Hall to the lady." Master Zhou was a little ashamed,

Cheng Jianniang nodded.

"Then thank you Uncle for your trouble." She said.

"Don't dare, don't dare, as it should be." Master Zhou hurriedly returned the salute and said, "It is most suitable for the lady to take this." ”

Cheng Jianniang saluted again, handed the deed in front of her to the maidservant, and the maidservant happily put it away.

"This time it's really good, send Lu to a peaceful residence, and you actually get a fairy residence, and a pharmacy." She said happily, tilting her head and thinking, "I don't know if there is anyone in Lu Dao who wants our Taiping Residence, maybe there will be something good." ”

Master Zhou only twitched in his heart when he heard this, and walked out of Cheng Jiaoniang's door, he lifted the curtain again, and looked at the door of the house that was slowly closing behind him, and it could be seen that the woman's back was slender, and the maidservant girl next to him was talking and laughing around the joy, relaxed and quiet.

It's so easy, easy people do it all without knowing it.

Not to mention a god living in a pharmacy, and a family business that has been run by a Beijing official for decades, the future is in ashes, and it is not much different from extermination.

Who knows who would believe that all this is behind this Jiangzhou fool!

This Jiangzhou fool!
