Chapter 6: The Jinfu Teahouse
Chapter 6 Jinfu Teahouse
Yang Ming changed into a beige plaid suit, and wiped his leather shoes with a rag, but there was nothing he could do about his hair.
In the UK, there is a hairspray for use, and when I return to Chengdu, I can only use hair oil, which is applied to my hair like a putty ointment, and I walk on the side of the road, and a gust of wind blows and my head is full of ash.
It's scary to think about taking care of your hair like this!
Looking in the mirror, Yang Ming still felt good.
This body is still quite handsome in terms of appearance, even if he has no talent and no virtue, he will never starve to death when he becomes a little white face in the future....
Think far!
As soon as I was about to go out, there was a knock at the door.
When I opened the door, I saw a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl wearing a Luo Qun green shirt standing timidly outside the door.
"Little sister, what's wrong with me?" Yang Ming saw that it was Yang Lan and greeted with a smile.
To be honest, he doesn't have much affection for his half-sister, after all, he is not the original Yang Ming, but he definitely doesn't hate it.
"Brother, I'm ....." Yang Lan's little face turned red, and she suddenly took out a small bag from her pocket and stuffed it into Yang Ming's hand, and then ran out as fast as a frightened deer.
Yang Ming opened the small bag at this time, and saw that there were a lot of fiat currencies inside, some were one, some were five, and even there were a lot of scattered receipts, adding up to almost fifty yuan.
I didn't have to think about it to know that the money must be Yang Lan's private money, but I didn't think that she would actually take it out for herself.
If it was before, Yang Ming really didn't look down on this money, but now..... Well, it's really, really needed.
Since it's my sister, I use it, and I'll be nice to her in the future.
Yang Ming was putting the money into his wallet every penny, and in just a moment, the voice of Hu Ying learning the rough voice of the street woman on the street had already come.
"Mingwa, don't come to eat yet!"
"I'm not going to eat it, I'm going to keep my stomach and eat it at night!"
Soon, a series of footsteps sounded outside the door, and Yang Ming looked at it and saw that Hu Ying had already walked over, and muttered as he walked: "There are still several hours before dark, how can you want to eat without eating?" Eat less first, make a bottom, and if you drink at night, you won't have heartburn! ”
Yang Ming couldn't help but take his arm and walk to the main hall while speaking, and after walking a few steps, she stopped again, and after a while, she said: "Wait a minute, your old man has something to tell you, I'll tell you, don't you go to your heart!" ”
"What's the matter?"
Yang Ming was a little confused, wondering what kind of medicine his mother was selling in the gourd.
However, Hu Ying didn't want to say it, so he didn't continue to ask, anyway, his old man still had to say it later.
Entering the main hall, Yang Jinghai, the old man Yang, was already sitting on the top seat, Yang Lan was sitting on the side, and there was a bowl of porridge in both of them, and there were not a few grains of rice at all.
Of course, there are no coarse grains in it.
The old man is more particular, and the coarse grain can't be eaten, which is an old problem that the local owner is used to.
However, there are three dishes in the middle of the table, which is a rare generous.
Yang Ming and Hu Ying walked over, Hu Ying sat on the side next to the old man, and Yang Ming sat down.
As the saying goes, the top and bottom are great, and this is also an unchanging tradition.
Old Man Yang should be in the first place when he is alive, and Yang Ming, as the next generation heir of the Yang family, should naturally be at the bottom.
When the two of them sat down, Yang Jinghai said to eat, and no one spoke in the middle, and he kept the rhythm of eating and sleeping.
After eating, Yang Lan followed Hu Ying to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and then Yang Jinghai said: "Yesterday, the Liu family came to the house, it was for your marriage!" ”
Yang Ming was stunned for a moment, and then found the so-called marriage context from his vague memory.
The Liu family in Yang Jinghai's mouth is a large landlord in Pengxi, Suining, as a local squire, he used to be very close to the Yang family, and it happened that their younger generation was about the same age, so they were ordered to be a baby when they were young.
However, with the current embarrassing situation of the Yang family, the Yang family must be a little wrong with the Liu family, and after listening to half of the sentence, Yang Ming has actually guessed the latter words, which is nothing more than a retreat.
This kind of thing is actually very common, whether it is to dislike the poor and love the rich, it is not moral, after all, the initiative is no longer in the Yang family, even if the old man Yang is unwilling, he can only accept the facts.
Now it's just that I'm afraid that Yang Ming won't be able to accept it, and I want to comfort and comfort him.
"They want to get out of the marriage?" Yang Ming looked indifferent, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and smiled: "This is okay, but you can't just say a word with red lips and white teeth, right?" I remember that our family gave a lot of dowry gifts at the beginning, and since I wanted to withdraw from the marriage, I should return it. Also, since the divorce was proposed by them, I, as a victim, must always have some compensation, otherwise even if the lawsuit is brought to Chongqing, their Liu family business will not be able to take care of it! ”
Marrying a woman who has never met in person, Yang Ming naturally resists. The Liu family wants to withdraw from the marriage, and he agrees to 100,000.
But now that people have put it forward, of course Yang Ming wants to recover some losses.
What's more, he still has the name of a returnee bachelor, and although the Liu family has a great cause to go to the government yamen, many things can't solve everything with more money.
What he said made Yang Jinghai's mouth open, and he knew that Yang Ming was a bastard, but after thinking about it, Yang Jinghai still swallowed it.
The Yang family was defeated.
It is no longer possible to marry a wealthy family, since it is really better to get out of the marriage than Yang Ming said, it is better to make a sum of money and talk about it.
"Hey! So be it! Wait until tomorrow when they come to the door! ”
Sighing deeply, Yang Jinghai slowly returned to the back room, looking at the old man's stiff back Yang Ming felt a little sour for a while.
Out of the door, Yang Ming went straight to the Red Pai Building, stopped a rickshaw and then turned to the Jinfu Teahouse in Jiuyan Bridge.
According to Zhang Laosan's description, the Jinfu Teahouse is the public mouth of the Loyal and Righteous Robe Brothers.
When I entered the teahouse, I was immediately greeted by a big teapot with a smile on my face.
Now Yang Ming is wearing a suit, and his handsome appearance says that no one believes that he is not a son of a family, and such a big financier is undoubtedly a need for everyone.
"This young master should be here for the first time, right?" The big teapot held the teapot in one hand, and made a gesture of invitation to Yang Ming with the other hand, and then said with a smile: "I don't know if you go to the private room to listen to music or drink tea and watch a play in the lobby?" ”
The teahouse of this era is actually similar to the song hall in later generations, and there are all kinds of ways to play.
Generally speaking, the lobby is also on the first floor, and there is a stage in the middle with people performing and singing for tea customers to pass the time.
The second and third floors are specially divided into private rooms, and there is a special room where there are several young women, these women are all proficient in the eighteenth class of singing, if the guests want to listen to the music, they can come to the door alone.
Of course, it is not ordinary people who can consume, and the class fee will cost at least five fiat dollars, and if you count the reward, it will cost ten yuan, and only those rich sons will be elegant and elegant.
"Help me find a private room, soak two bowls of Longjing, and by the way, I bother you to go to the police training center to bring a letter to Zhang Laosan, saying that he has a brother named Yang Ming waiting for him here!"
Yang Ming commanded, took out his wallet, took out a piece of fiat currency of one dollar as a tip, and handed it to the big teapot.
"Oh! It turned out to be the third brother's brother! You come with me! ”
The big teapot stretched out his hand to take the fiat currency, with a smile on his face, and hurriedly greeted Yang Ming to the second floor.
The big teapot is also eye-catching, hearing that Yang Ming is looking for Zhang Laosan, he naturally knows that the two of them must have something important to discuss later, so they didn't introduce him to the girl to sing, and after the tea was brewed, he hurried downstairs.
