7. The mysterious Three Masters' Mansion
The shopkeeper shook off the fat man's hand, waved his hand, and shook his head helplessly: "Let's go, let's go." ”
The two guys in the store tried to pull the fat man out, but the fat man held on to the pillar and refused to leave.
The fat man is as powerful as an ox, and the two guys can't pull it at all. I only heard his pitiful pleading: "Shopkeeper, please, don't drive me away." I remember all the food and drinks the guests liked. I can do any coolie. ”
"You eat three times as much in one meal as others, and you have to eat the inn poorly if you are stayed. No matter how good your memory is, what's the use of your strength? ”
The shopkeeper's words made Liang Yuexin understand a little. The inn is all packed with rice, and the fat man turned out to be a guy in the inn, and he ate too much, and the shopkeeper didn't dare to keep him anymore.
Good memory? Strong? Liang Yuexin thought silently in her heart, and suddenly her eyes lit up, she wanted this fat man. Liang Yuexin habitually reached out to hold her glasses, only to find that there were no glasses on the bridge of her nose. Immediately changed his posture again, crossed his waist with one hand, cut off the fat man with his fingers with the other, cleared his throat and said: "Fat man, follow my sister in the future, you don't have to worry about eating and drinking." ”
This sentence is like rain pouring into the heart of a fat man in an emergency, which is pleasant to the ear. The fat man looked back at Liang Yuexin, feeling that she had kind eyebrows, looked as beautiful as a fairy, and the top of her head was shining with golden light. The fat man's eyes were filled with tears, and he knelt down in front of Liang Yuexin with a plop: "Thank you, thank you, shopkeeper." ”
"Alright, come with me." Liang Yuexin turned around and left, and the fat man hurriedly wiped away his tears and followed closely. The shopkeeper in the inn breathed a sigh of relief, and finally got rid of the burden, and his eyes couldn't hide his sympathy for Liang Yuexin.
Liang Yuexin didn't let the fat man call her shopkeeper, she had to call Sister Xin. There is no need for the fat man to do any coolies, but let him take the road to wander around Yongning Town, asking about the customs and customs here from time to time.
As Liang Yuexin expected, the fat man is a native of this place, and he is very familiar with everything here, and she can answer all the questions she asks. Soon, she found a business opportunity: the richest man in Yongning Town, the Shen family, still has a female famous poem, who is eighteen years old and has not yet left the cabinet. Master Shen was anxious, and whoever could succeed in being a matchmaker would be rewarded.
As she walked, Liang Yuexin suddenly stopped, attracted by a shop with a closed door in front of her. She looked around, and the street vendors didn't need to shout, and there were customers in front of the stalls. Not to mention the nearby shops, where people come in and out. Presumably, this is the most prosperous place in Yongning Town.
"In such a prosperous place, how can there be empty shops?"
"Because the third master has to charge a one-time rent for one year, no one can afford it."
"How much is the rent for a year?"
"Ten thousand taels of gold."
"Only 10,000 taels a year? It's worth it, I want this shop. Liang Yuexin was overjoyed and finally found her favorite store.
The fat man's eyes widened, I really didn't expect that Sister Xin was a very special master with silver. I was grateful to her just now, and now I have more admiration.
Liang Yuexin couldn't wait to pull the fat man, went to the third master's mansion to pay the deposit and booked the shop, promising to pick up the shop in a month, and would pay the rent of 10,000 taels.
Now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed. Liang Yuexin was in a good mood, and specially bought a large bag of steamed buns in the steamed bun shop to reward the fat man. Steamed bread? No meat? The fat man looked at the steamed bun stupidly.
"Fatty, I just paid a deposit of ten cents, and there is not much silver left, so let's only eat steamed buns to satisfy our hunger in the past few days. When Sister Xin earns money, she will definitely let you eat meat. You have to believe Sister Xin! ”
The fat man who was in a daze reacted at this time, it turned out that Sister Xin had no money. The admiration just now vanished in an instant. But there is gratitude, and there is faith. I saw him nod heavily: "The fat man believes in Sister Xin!" ”
"Good! Go back and get some rest. Come to me at the inn early tomorrow morning, we're going to make a big deal. ”
"The fat man listens to Sister Xin!"
On the other side, in the Third Master's Mansion, a man dressed in white was walking from the passage to the basement.
There is never a need to light candles in the basement, because it is full of gold and silver jewelry. The jewels and gold glitter illuminate the entire basement as if it were daytime.
The man in white counted his belongings, then sat down in his chair, his angular face in a perfect arc, his teeth as white as clothes. The smile is like a breeze that transcends the world, but it is mixed with a hint of pride and arrogance.
The man in white held his chin with one hand, his eyes staring directly at the gold and silver in front of him. But it doesn't look at them, it looks like you're thinking through them. The smile narrowed, and the eyes became deeper.
Footsteps sounded in the passage behind him, and the man in white did not look back. For he does not have to look to know who it is. The person who came was Steward Li, who handed ten cents to the third master, and said respectfully: "Third master, the shop that has not been rented out for three years, someone has come to make a deposit today." ”
The man in white who is called the third master is the master of Qingfeng. He took the ten pennies and stared at them curiously with his eyes narrowed into a line. As if the ten cents were more attractive than the belongings in the basement,
At the beginning, the rent of the shop was deliberately set high, just to attract attention. In order to start the family business in the house, I have no intention of really renting it out. In the past three years, no one has cared about it, so why did someone suddenly come to rent it today? Also made a deposit? In fact, even if there is no deposit, the shop is empty. Which fool sent him the money?
"It was a little girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old. She said that after a month, she would earn enough money to pay the rest of the rent. ”
"Hahaha...... "A little girl can earn 10,000 taels of silver in a month?" Qingfeng listened and laughed out loud. I think it's a farce, maybe it's a girl from a family who is just joking. "Which girl is it?"
She said that her name is Liang Yuexin, Jiahe Chongying, Pod Zaifen, Led Tu Xianxu, and Yuexin in Xu Yuexin. The old slave has checked, and there is no rich man surnamed Liang in Yongning Town. ”
Qingfeng was even more curious. It's not a girl from a rich man's family, is it a girl from an ordinary family? So isn't this ten cents equivalent to giving it to him for nothing?
"This girl also has an entourage with her, and the old slave doesn't listen to the girl's accent like a local." Regarding Liang Yuexin's identity, Steward Li has not yet inquired.
"Outlander? Have you forgotten the rules of the house? Qingfeng couldn't help frowning, and raised his head to question Steward Li.
"The old slave doesn't dare! A month later, the old slave returned the ten cents to the girl. Steward Li lowered his head. The rule in the house is that shops are not rented to people of unknown origin, no matter how high the price is paid. Steward Li's dereliction of duty this time was also due to curiosity, after all, this shop has not been cared for for three years.
Qingfeng nodded, and Steward Li's words were right in his arms. Then he pointed to the ten chests of gold on the ground and said, "Deliver them out in the middle of the night." Be careful not to be discovered. ”
"Yes, Third Master."
