Chapter 17: The First Night
The shopkeeper suffered a lot of grievances from Qin Xing, not to mention that he had always owed a lot of money and only got ten cents, and he was very uncomfortable in his heart.
At this time, when he saw that Song Sansi and Uncle Qi were so kind, he couldn't help but be stunned. It wasn't until Uncle Qi shouted twice that the shopkeeper came to his senses and said, "Just now, I Lu someone blamed the two of you, and I will compensate the two of you here." β
It wasn't a big deal, but since the shopkeeper opened his mouth to apologize, the two naturally didn't pursue it.
However, the shopkeeper continued: "It is said that this meal should be invited by the small shop, but Lu has recently encountered some difficult things that cost money......
Before the shopkeeper finished speaking, Song Sansi interjected: "It's okay, it's okay, it's natural to give money for dinner, the shopkeeper doesn't need to be like this, you calculate, how much is it?" β
The shopkeeper thought about it in his heart, and then said: "If the two of you can afford Lu, then they will give a string today, and the rest will be erased." β
"Don't, the shopkeeper won't dare to come again in the future, as much as we want, I want to think about it, what you just said is one hundred and thirty Wen, plus a pot of wine money of twenty Wen, that is one hundred and fifty Wen. Uncle Qi, pay the bill. β
Uncle Qi just wanted to open his mouth and agree, but Song Sansi rushed to answer one hundred and fifty words, even if Uncle Qi pretended to cough inadvertently, he didn't stop Song Sansi's quick mouth.
Uncle Qi counted out one hundred and fifty coins with a painful pain, and handed over the copper coins to the shopkeeper with a smile, "Shopkeeper, you can accept it before this meal today, if you don't want to go, we will give a discount when we come in the future." β
For such a result, the shopkeeper was naturally very surprised, and hurriedly said: "Two more customers to watch their faces, and ask the two of them to take care of the business of the small shop in the future." β
Sent the two out of the door, and the shopkeeper returned to the lobby to continue greeting guests, and the little two, who was so busy that he forgot to find Song Sansi to repay the money, until he was about to rest in the dead of night, he found that he still had an extra string of money on him......
When Xiao Er looked at Qian Chuanzi in a daze, Song Sansi and Uncle Qi were already sitting in the room and chatting about the master of the family. "I said the surname is Song, how did you just ask?"
"It's useless, that Xiao Tao and Xiao Liu don't know much about the things in the front yard, let alone that person, they don't even know what patients came today. However, there is one thing that is interesting. β
After pondering for a while, Song Sansi continued: "According to Xiao Tao and Xiao Liu, as long as Doctor Lu enters the house, he will never mention the patient, medical skills and other things. β
"This is a little strange, it seems that I will ask Lao Lu tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? You're going to sit with him tomorrow? β
"Nonsense, if you don't sit in the hall, you are just as blind as you are on the street. I don't know if you're such a big person, why don't you know how to make a living, even if you go to a stall on the street to tell fortunes, after all, you're a protΓ©gΓ©......"
Without waiting for Uncle Qi to finish speaking, Song Sansi muttered with some dissatisfaction: "Who said that I was wandering all over the street, I called it exploring the road." Do you think it's easy to set up a stall and tell fortunes? Let me tell you, in this business, you must first be familiar with what kind of people are in the streets and alleys, what kind of family backgrounds, and what ...... are there."
Uncle Qi, who was originally going to preach, became an educated person in the blink of an eye. If it weren't for saying too much, Song Sansi was a little dry-mouthed, maybe Uncle Qi would have continued to listen.
"Don't think that fortune telling is an easy thing, let me tell you, this business is not easier than you to show people." Song Sansi ended his preaching with one sentence.
"Okay, I can't talk about you, I'd better wait for Xiao Di to let him talk about you when he's free, and I don't know what happened to him in the yamen." It's also a habit, and now that there is no Di Renjie on the side to help make peace, Uncle Qi can't help but miss it a little.
As for whether Di Renjie thought about these two people, no one knows.
The newly appointed county lieutenant Di has been looking through the case file, even though it is late at night, he has not returned to his room to rest......
Because he mediated the marriage of the Zhang family the day before yesterday, Li Jiwen went to eat and drink at the invitation of the Zhang family today, so he came back later.
Xu Shi drank a few more glasses, and when he passed by the Liangguang County Lieutenant Yamen in a daze, he thought that he had arrived in his room, and regardless of the support of his subordinates, he pushed the door directly and entered.
It wasn't until he sat on the chair and saw an ignorant Di Renjie sitting in front of him that Li Jiwen still didn't wake up, but asked a little inarticulately: "County Lieutenant Di, what are you doing in my room?" β
"Uh...... Li Xiancheng, this is the county lieutenant's yamen, not your residence. Di Renjie knew what was going on when he smelled the strong smell of wine, but Li Jiwen was his peak after all, and he was a newcomer, so he could only explain with a wry smile.
"Oh? So what are you doing in my room? Li Jiwen seemed to be very drunk, and still thought that Di Renjie was in his room.
Di Renjie smiled bitterly, and could only turn his gaze for help to the official standing beside Li Jiwen.
The official has been with Li Jiwen for a few years, so he knows his habits very well after getting drunk. At that moment, he said helplessly: "County Lieutenant Di, the county is a little drunk, don't be surprised." Rong Xiao fed him a cup of tea, and when he sobered up, he took him back to the room to rest. β
It's not good to say this, but after Li Jiwen went down with a cup of tea, he had the spirit to play drunk.
No matter what his subordinates said, he insisted that he was not drunk, and he had to let his subordinates withdraw the card, shouting that he wanted to talk to Di Renjie at night.
The official was helpless, and whispered apologetically: "County Lieutenant Di, why don't I go out and wait first, and you can help take care of it." β
"Hiccup~ Come, let me see what you're busy with today."
As soon as the official withdrew, Li Jiwen stood up from the chair and staggered towards Di Renjie's bookcase.
If it weren't for Di Renjie's careful support, it is estimated that Li Jiwen would have fallen to the ground before he reached the bookcase.
Finally sat down again, Li Jiwen casually picked up a case file, glanced at it and said: "I remember this case, when Cao Mi was still Cao County Lieutenant, this was the case he was in charge of. β
"Huh? Can you let me take a look? The case file in Li Jiwen's hand was that he had just opened it and hadn't taken a look at it, and when he heard that it was about Cao Mi, he couldn't help but want to know more.
Li Jiwen muttered "take it" in a daze, then leaned back on the chair, and seemed to doze off with his eyes closed.
"Killing a cow? How can the county lieutenant judge such a big case? After just one glance at the case, Di Renjie couldn't help but widen his eyes.
