Chapter 18: Capture the Tiger

I was thinking about things all night, so I didn't go to bed until late. Today happens to be the day of the market again, Song Xinshu got up late, and when he appeared at the door of the shop, it was already three poles in the morning.

I don't know if it's a mental effect, or what's wrong, Song Xinshu was lying on the counter boredly fiddling with the abacus, she pulled her fingers and began to count the days when Su Qing left. Not to mention whether it is lonely and sleepless these days, but a person is really used to having people around him, and it is difficult to quit again.

"Yo, isn't this the little lady who sold pastries last time!" Brother Tiger swaggered in from the door with a few brothers.

The door is a guest, and there is no reason to drive away. Song Xinshu's eyebrows were slightly raised, and he didn't intend to deal with them. When Song Huaishu, who heard the voice, walked out of the back kitchen with a rag, and saw the person who came clearly, the anger in his heart suddenly surged up.

"You guys, you're not welcome here, hurry up." Although Song Huaishu is not as capable as Su Qing, he still has the kung fu of the three-legged cat. He thought he still had a chance to win against these minions who had been hollowed out by the wine.

However, Brother Hu didn't take him seriously at all, "We're here to eat, is it possible that you don't do business with the door open?" ”

"It's not that you don't do business, it's that you don't want to do your business." Song Xinshu poked his head out of the counter and said coldly to a few people outside.

"It seems that you are toasting and not eating and drinking." Brother Hu had never seen such a desperate woman, and his interest increased greatly for a while, "You little lady is very energetic, I don't know if you will be so spicy when you are pressed under me." ”

This person said that it was okay, and Song Xinshu would not pay attention to it. But this man's words are so dirty, how can she listen to them. I couldn't help but pick up the abacus on the counter and hit him hard. Brother Tiger couldn't dodge, and he was stunned to be beaten.

"You little, since you don't know what to do. Brothers, smash this place for me! Brother Tiger pondered that he had never lost such a big person, and angrily beckoned the people around him to do it.

Song Huaishu hurriedly went up to stop him, but he didn't know that a few more people rushed out and kicked him over, and the leader must have been Brother Sheng. He has a fat head and big ears, and his steps are vain, and he doesn't look like a thirty-year-old person.

"Big brother!" Song Xinshu helped Song Huaishu on the ground up, although the other party was overwhelming, but Song Xinshu at this time was not flustered, she glanced at the people around her, and motioned him to lie in his arms first and not move.

Song Huaishu understood what he meant, then closed his eyes, crooked his neck, and pretended to be dead.

Song Xinshu immediately cooperated, opened his throat and shouted: "Someone is dead!" Someone's killed! ”

"Yo, still play this set." The fat-headed and big-eared Brother Sheng is not a master who can scare casually, he has seen a lot of this kind of trick.

He didn't care about it, just moved a stool and sat there, and was about to call someone to smash the store while watching the play. The reason why a bully is a bully is naturally because he has a bit of a backstage, and the people around him are also afraid of him.

So when Song Xinshu shouted, there were people around him, but no one dared to care.

"Stop!"

There was a loud shout in the distance, and I saw Liu Zhiyan coming with people in a hurry, and the leader was her father Liu County.

"Bold Liu Sheng! You are blatantly hurting people! Liu Xian Ling scolded angrily and scolded a group of people.

Liu Sheng didn't expect that the people from this official mansion would come so quickly, and several officials even tied themselves up directly with ropes.

"Liu County Order, do you know who my cousin is?" Liu Sheng gritted his teeth and asked.

"Of course I know, Sipin Shangshu Shilang, now he is afraid that he will not be able to protect himself, and he will not have time to pay attention to you, a distant relative and grandson who is doing evil."

Liu Xian Ling sneered, seeing that Liu Sheng was still unconvinced and wanted to resist, he said indifferently, "Don't worry, the official will report the matter to the official family today, and submit all your charges over the years one by one." Even if your cousin can turn over, I'm afraid you can't cover the soles of the official's shoes! ”

"You! You wait for me! Liu Sheng's whole body was held on the ground, and his fierce eyes stared at Song Xinshu, as if he couldn't wait to swallow her directly.

"My lord, this man injured my brother, and the woman didn't want him to pay much money, the woman only hoped that the adult could be held accountable in front of the woman." Song Xinshu didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his words, how could he know that Song Huaishu, who had been lying in the room, was a little uncalm.

He sat up from the ground, and Liu Xian Ling saluted and said, "My sister is not sensible, and she asks the adult to atone for her sins." The grass people know that adults are rare good officials, so they will naturally handle it impartially. ”

The pun was also comfortable to hear Liu County's order, and he hummed and said, "Let's go." Then he waved his hand and asked Liu Sheng to be escorted away.

Liu Zhiyan did not leave with her father, but turned her head to look at the messy shops around, and sighed helplessly, "If you promised me and you a few days ago, where are there all these storms when you do things with the government?" ”

"Then maybe this Liu Sheng won't come to make trouble." Song Xinshu said, Su Qing is not by her side at this time, any danger is unavoidable, and she doesn't know if it will continue to happen this time, she gradually understands that if you want to live a stable life in this era, you have to slowly strengthen your power in order to gain a firm foothold.

Liu Zhiyan nodded, and motioned to the grandmother behind her to take out some money, "This is for you, look at you, you are going to make a big repair again, and you must also need money." ”

"How's that going to work!" Counting these two times, I have also inherited a lot of her kindness, and if I take her silver again, I can't say anything.

Liu Zhiyan didn't pay attention to her refusal, and directly stuffed the money bag into her hand, "This money was left by my mother before she passed away, you take it to the emergency first." ”

Liu Zhiyan is still very visionary, although Song Xinshu's friend is from an ordinary background, but her talent is extraordinary, she was born in an official family, she is very particular about making friends, and knows how to "invest" in feelings.

At this time, Song Xinshu knew that the woman he saw in Liufu that day was not Liu Zhiyan's biological mother, but the continuation of Liuxian Ling. It was only a glance from afar, and the woman didn't seem to be a character to be messed with. She is even a little worried about Liu Zhiyan's life in the future, and this shop herself is afraid that she is not in much mood to continue to operate.

But seeing that such a good market can't just be cut off in vain, you have to think of a way.

Liu Zhiyan thought that she had listened to her words, and hurriedly continued while the iron was hot: "If you really don't want to go in your heart, just pay me back when you are free." ”

Do people in this era also understand the world so well? Song Xinshu couldn't help but sneer in his heart, seeing that she was so resolute, he could only accept it, "That's really thank you." ”

What the two didn't notice at all was that since Liu Zhiyan appeared, Song Huaishu's eyes sparkled when he looked at her.

After sending Liu Zhiyan away, Song Xinshu decided to leave it alone for the time being, so he simply closed the door directly.

And at this time, a little girl rushed over not far away, not very old, but this face must have gone through a lot of hardships along the way. She saw that the door of Linlang Pavilion was closed, and her heart was full of loss.

"Who are you looking for?" When Song Xinshu turned around, he was eyeing the little girl, it was a pair of beautiful eyes, like shining stars in the middle of the night, and the dust on his face couldn't hide a face that had grown open.

The girl swallowed and licked her lips, which were already a little dry, "I heard that there is a delicious pastry shop here, and I thought I would come to learn art." ”

After hearing this, Song Xinshu said, "You come with me." ”

Song Xinshu opened the door of the shop again and motioned for her to sit down and listen to herself.

The woman was a little shy and not good at words, and she said her name was Aja.

"I heard that you are a more famous pastry shop than Xu Zhai here, and many young ladies love to eat it." Ah Ya seemed a little embarrassed, but when he thought about his current situation, he could only bite the bullet.

Song Xinshu nodded, "But we don't accept apprentices." ”

Hearing this, Ah Ya's whole person was like a deflated ball, and Song Xinshu couldn't bear it and continued, "But I can supply it to you." ”

"What do you mean?" Ah Jay didn't react for a while.

Song Xinshu knew that this was also a very novel marketing method, and it was normal for the other party not to understand, so she patiently explained it carefully. In the end, her saliva was about to dry, and she was still puzzled.

But the other party still didn't know, and she had to change her method.

"You don't look very old, and you can't learn to do business, why don't you follow me to do chores and deliver goods in the shop? What do you think? Song Xinshu asked tentatively while tidying up the somewhat messy counter.

"Really? But would you like to teach me? "Ah Ja isn't stupid, although she's a little dumbfounded.

If you can work here, it is undoubtedly an opportunity, and if you learn some benefits quietly, you will also benefit a lot in the future.

"It's one thing for me to teach you, it's another thing for you to learn or not, of course, when you study, you don't get paid." Song Xinshu didn't mean to be embarrassed.

As soon as these words came out, the little girl was a little unhappy, "Then didn't I work for you for nothing?" ”

The little girl is really naΓ―ve, you don't want to teach you in vain? And then let you go and rob other people's jobs?

Song Xinshu pondered whether she was unhappy, and when she saw that she didn't speak, she didn't have the heart to ask again.

"Can you let me think about it?" The little girl asked tentatively.

It's okay to say that if you can't learn, you will waste so much time, and no one will be happy.

Song Xinshu shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "Yes, if you think about it, you are welcome at any time." "I'm just afraid that this kid thinks about the present and not the future, and it's not fun.

After sending the little girl away, Song Xinshu looked around to see if there was anything left behind, and was ready to close. At this time, the heavens seemed to want her to go, and another wave of people came.

All of them were fierce and vicious, as if they were Hades from hell, and one of them kicked the neat stool to the ground without saying anything, making a sound of a heavy object collapsing.

"The shopkeeper is not there?"

It was a handsome man who spoke, he walked in, dressed in white to set off that good-looking face, but the steps were very light, which reminded Song Xinshu of what Su Qing said to him that day, but for anyone with extremely high martial arts, his steps are very light.

"I don't know who this guest officer is?" At this time, Song Qingshu was completely aware of what it means to be a real comer.
