The old man persistently stuffed it into Song Xinshu's hand and said: "Once my little granddaughter was in your store and accidentally broke her leg while playing, or the shopkeeper Song asked the guy to get the medicine and personally gave my granddaughter the medicine, this fish can be regarded as a thank you!" ”

She didn't remember such a thing as a daily visitor coming and going in the tea house, but seeing the old man's enthusiastic appearance, she had no choice but to accept the fish tied with a straw rope.

After saying goodbye to the old man, Song Xinshu was satisfied with the fish and got on the boat, full of happiness.

Zheng Tianyi looked at her smirk and said, "Isn't it just a fish, as for being so happy?" ”

"Where is this a simple fish, this is the customer's affirmation of Subei Tea House!" Song Xinshu is very proud.

Zheng Tianyi shook his head helplessly, and rowed back to the place where they had been drinking just now.

The little guy had already prepared the carriage, and Zheng Tianyi asked the little guy to escort Song Xinshu home, but she was not polite and went straight to the carriage.

After Song Xinshu sat down, Zheng Tianyi lifted the curtain on the carriage and said to her: "Three guests will go to your place for dinner in five days. ”

Song Xinshu's heart suddenly became nervous, she had always been curious about what kind of guests Zheng Tianyi was going to use these three private rooms to entertain, and she could finally see the real face tomorrow.

But her expression didn't change, she just nodded and agreed.

Song Xinshu carried the fish in his hand, held the lotus flower picked from the lake, and returned to the Northern Jiangsu Tea House in a carriage.

Ah Jay was waiting at the door of the tea house early, and the lady said that she was going to see the Taishou, and it stands to reason that she should have come back a long time ago, but there is no one to see until now.

Just when she was anxious, she saw a carriage coming in the distance, and she didn't care, but her wife stepped out of the carriage.

Ah Yao looked at the things in her hand in surprise, Song Xinshu showed off her "loot" today like a child, and said, "Shall I make you sweet and sour fish to eat at night?" ”

Ah Ya nodded happily, and as a result, the things in Song Xinshu's hand happily walked into the tea house together.

After a while, Song Xinshu found that he didn't see Zhou Sheng, so he asked Aja: "Why is your brother Zhou not here, what are you doing?" ”

"Brother Zhou said that he was going to complete the task you gave him, and he drank a bowl of wine before leaving!"

Song Xinshu smiled secretly, Zhou Sheng is serious on weekdays, I don't know how this task is completed now.

At this moment, Zhou Sheng's heart was unusually hesitant and struggling, he had been standing in the alley opposite Qingyuan Tower for an hour, but he didn't know how to step in.

There were still two girls standing at the door, but this time without the guidance of the lady, they could only clench their fists and muster up the courage to walk in.

The last time he and Song Xinshu came once, the girl had already recognized his appearance, so she didn't stop him, but looked at him a few more times, because he was a little different from those who came to have fun.

Since the last time Song Xinshu gave him this task, he gave him a sum of silver, so that he would not come to do errands, but he couldn't even afford a glass of wine.

The old bustard took Zhou Sheng to the door of a private room, and said with a flattering smile: "What do you have to say?" ”

"A pot of tea, and then, the blind singer, call her alone."

The old bustard was stunned for a moment, no one has ever called a blind girl here alone, does this son prefer this?

Seeing that the bustard didn't move, Zhou Sheng took out two pieces of broken silver and put them on the table, and when the bustard saw this, he immediately went to prepare with a smile.

After a while, a maid came in with tea, followed by a blind girl holding a lute.

After the maid went out, the blind girl fumbled and sat down in her chair, ready to start playing the harp and singing.

Zhou Sheng stopped her and said, "Wait a while, I have something to tell you." ”

The blind girl obediently put down the pipa in her hand, opened her palm and groped her way to Zhou Sheng's side, knelt down, touched the teapot on the table, and slowly brought him a cup of tea and pushed it in front of him.

"Childe doesn't drink alcohol, he drinks hot tea."

Zhou Sheng nodded subconsciously, and immediately realized that the blind girl couldn't see her movements, and hurriedly replied, "Yes." ”

After the blind girl sat closer, Zhou Sheng found that she had a delicate face, her eyebrows and eyes were docile, and her eyelashes were always hanging low, very gentle.

Zhou Sheng rarely has contact with women, let alone such a beautiful woman, even if she is a blind girl, but Zhou Sheng still has stiff hands and feet, and he doesn't know how to swing his fingers.

"What does Childe tell me?" Seeing that the other party did not speak, the blind girl took the initiative to ask.

Zhou Sheng cleared his throat and said, "My wife thinks that if you come to our Northern Jiangsu Tea House to play, you will definitely be better off than living here." ”

"Why is Childe so determined, going to the Northern Jiangsu Tea House must be better than here?" The blind girl smiled slightly, she had lived here since she had, and she had long been used to it.

Besides, she now has such an identity, and when she goes elsewhere, she doesn't know what kind of situation it is.

"Our wife said, when you come to Subei Tea House, the salary can be discussed face-to-face, and if you have any other requirements, your wife can also try to meet them!"

Zhou Sheng saw that the blind girl looked like she was about to refuse, and hurriedly said, Song Xinshu is a person who is kind to her, if she can't complete this task, what face will she have to go back to see Madame?

The blind girl smiled slightly and said, "Don't laugh at Childe, I'll sing a song to Childe, right?" ”

Saying that the blind girl was about to get up and grope back to find her pipa, Zhou Sheng was in a hurry, grabbed her wrist and said: "Subei Tea House is the most famous tea house in Jinling City, you will definitely not be wronged if you go!" ”

The man's rough hand was on the delicate wrist, the blind girl was stunned for a moment, and Zhou Sheng also sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly let go of her wrist, and her face was flushed.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I made amends to the girl!"

The blind girl could also tell his anxiety in her voice, so she sat down and sighed slightly.

"Is there anything uneasy about the girl, I'll go back and tell my wife, I will definitely be able to solve it."

"I'm like a willow, I've been in this fireworks land for a long time, and my body is stained with smoke and dust, I don't know that this is not a place to seek old age, but I'm used to staying here, and if I go out, will it be better than here?"

"If the girl goes to the North Jiangsu Tea House, I will definitely protect the girl and not let others bully you!"

The blind girl was stunned when she heard this, and no man had ever said such a thing to her.

Zhou Sheng only thought about completing the task assigned by his wife, and he didn't realize that his words were ambiguous, and looked at the blind girl sincerely.

The blind girl was a little moved by his repeated pleadings, smiled bitterly, and said, "Although I am standing here now, fate cannot help itself, and everything must be at the mercy of Mama." ”

"I'll go back and tell Madame about this, and you wait for my news!"

Zhou Sheng hurried back to reply to his wife's words, turned around and was about to leave, and just as he was about to go out, the blind girl called him: "Childe." ”

Zhou Sheng turned his head in response, and the blind girl lowered her eyes and said in the direction where he was standing, "The little girl's name is Liushu." ”

Zhou Sheng nodded, pushed open the door and left.

He walked back to the tea house quickly, anxious to find his wife, and return today's events to Song Xinshu.

After looking around, I found Song Xinshu frying fish in the kitchen.

"Madam, I went to Qingyuan Tower today and met the blind girl that day."

Song Xinshu sniffed, nodded and said, "Well, it's still a familiar taste." ”

Zhou Sheng now had the smell of rouge and gouache, scratched his head embarrassedly, and said: "Madam, the blind girl said that she wanted to ask for a lifetime of stability, and there were no other requirements, but whether she could leave or not, she had to listen to the grandmother of Qingyuanlou." ”

Song Xinshu listened to Zhou Sheng speak, and the movements of his hands did not stop, but his brain was running rapidly.

After a moment she said, "Okay, I know, I'll go again tomorrow, you can go back and rest first." ”

Zhou Sheng withdrew from the kitchen, he wanted to hurry back and change the clothes on his body, today can be said to be the day he talked the most in the past half a month.

Song Xinshu's sweet and sour fish is the highlight of tonight, everyone has not tasted the shopkeeper's craftsmanship, they are all waiting in the yard with their necks stretched, and after a while, the fragrance of the fish wafted out.

At ten o'clock for dinner, Song Xinshu's sweet and sour fish was finally served on the table, and the guys swallowed their saliva and couldn't wait.

Song Xinshu said two sentences casually, and then called the guys to start, and everyone's chopsticks stretched out to the sweet and sour fish, wanting to taste what it tasted like.

Steamed fish is often seen in Jinling City, and everyone is used to eating like this, and it is the first time to see someone doing this kind of fish, and they praise it gossipily.

Song Xinshu smiled happily, the salary she gave was not low, and she usually worked with everyone and entertained guests.

also made a few fresh dishes for everyone to try from time to time, and it didn't take long for the guys in the store to be captured by Song Xinshu.

In their eyes, Song Xinshu is the best shopkeeper in ten miles and eight towns, and he is also beautiful and generous, and he works hard every day.

Song Xinshu saw that everyone was eating deliciously, and he was satisfied, but Zhou Sheng looked preoccupied.

"Zhou Sheng, you have to accompany me tomorrow, the blind girl can tell you so much, it seems that she already trusts you." Song Xinshu walked up to Zhou Sheng and said.

"It's up to Madame, I'm just an errand runner." I don't know why, she always looks like a blind girl in front of her eyes, and she always feels a faint sadness between her eyebrows.

Song Xinshu also saw what was on his mind and couldn't help but come up with a good idea.

If she wants to become stronger, she must have enough capital, and she will not let go of every opportunity to attract customers to make money.

She called the housekeeper and arranged for him to clean and decorate the third floor and prepare for the Fan sisters' birthday party.

She had done so many things, so she wanted to tell Su Qing about it, as if to tell her how powerful she was now.

After finishing dinner with such a mood, Song Xinshu returned to his room, pushed open the door, and found a letter lying quietly on his desk.
