Chapter Eighty-Six: Trouble Comes
The third uncle and the third aunt set up a shop on the main street of the state city, and in addition to selling tofu, they also did breakfast business.
Xiaoru's cloth village is not far from their morning shop, and you can see it when you look up, and if something happens, you can take care of it.
The third uncle's shop has been opened, and the location of this store is not bad, although the third uncle disagrees with the opening reward suggested by Tang Ning, buy two catties and get one catty free, but when he saw the profit on the first day, he decided on the spot to extend the opening time for two more days.
Tang Ning walked over, and the third uncle was talking to the butcher in the shop next door.
Next door to their shop is a butcher shop, the butcher of the butcher shop is surnamed Zheng, one night, when the butcher Zheng closed the stall, he gave him two taels of leftover pig's head meat, and the third uncle returned him two pieces of unsold tofu, and after that, the two became acquainted.
When the third uncle saw him, he waved his hand and said, "Xiao Ning, Lao Zheng just sent three taels of pork belly, remember to come over to eat dumplings at night." ”
Downing waved his hand, indicating that he understood.
It was very close to the alley where he woke up, and when Tang Ning came over, he bought a few buns and distributed them to the beggars in the alley.
Eating people is soft-mouthed, taking people short, and beggars also have self-esteem.
Always eating people's buns, but can't do anything, the leader of the beggar looked at Tang Ning and said apologetically: "Childe, I'm really sorry, we have searched all over Lingzhou City these days, including several broken temples outside the city, but we haven't found the person you are looking for." ”
"If you can't find it, forget it." Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "I have another matter to ask you. ”
"Childe, please say ......"
Tang Ning pointed to the shop not far away and said, "I want you to help me watch that shop, if anything happens, immediately go to the place I told you last time to find me, there is nothing to do on weekdays, and help take care of it." ”
The beggar patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Childe, we will keep watching and don't let people go there to make trouble!" ”
The beggars' base camp is here, and if something happens, they react faster than they and the servants.
Tang Ning took out a few pieces of broken silver from his bosom, handed them to him, and said, "Take this money and buy some food for your brothers." ”
"Thank you, Childe!" The beggar was not polite, and after taking the money, he pointed to the shop not far away, turned his head to look at several beggars, and said, "Keep my eyes open and keep a close eye on me......
Downing explained the matter to the beggars, and walked out of the alley.
An old beggar leaned against the corner of the alley, shouting casually.
"Walk by, don't miss ......"
"Shadowless Sword", "Thunder Palm", "Lost Step" ......"
"A lone cheatbook, three taels of silver, ten taels of three!"
……
There is no new wound on the old beggar's face, he should not have deceived children recently, and judging by the price he offered, the target of his fraud has changed from a child to an adult.
When Tang Ning passed by, he casually asked: "Is there an eighteen palms of dragon descending?" ”
The old beggar was stunned, then shook his head.
"What about the 36-way dog beating stick method?"
The old beggar pondered for a moment, then continued to shake his head.
I can't even use the eighteen palms of the dragon and the dog-beating stick method, what kind of beggar do you pretend to beg, and what martial arts cheats do you sell?
The so-called cheats he had sold to himself last time were still on the corner of the table in his room, but this time, the ones in front of him didn't look so broken, and the packaging was quite exquisite, not like something that a sloppy old beggar could take out.
Tang Ning curiously picked up a copy, and after turning the page, his face suddenly turned red.
The old beggar looked at him, with a mysterious smile on his face, and asked, "How is it, is it worth three taels of silver?" ”
In the era when there is no Internet and no island romance films, the spring palace picture of the color page is definitely a unique treasure, not to mention three taels of silver, thirty taels are the price of conscience.
The old beggar may not be a serious beggar, but he is a conscientious merchant. The strange thing is that he has such a precious thing, and he is actually reduced to begging on the street, no matter how he thinks about it......
"Brother Xiao Ning......"
At the door of the store not far away, Su Ru was already waving to him, Tang Ning hurriedly put down the "secret book" in his hand, glanced at the old beggar, and walked in the direction of the store.
After Tang Ning left, the old beggar shook his head and said with some regret: "Tsk, I don't know the goods, this is a treasure in the palace......"
When Tang Ning walked over, Su Ru glanced in the direction of the alley and said suspiciously, "Brother Xiao Ning, what are you doing there?" ”
"I bought a few buns and gave them to the beggars." Tang Ning smiled and asked, "How is the shop?" ”
A smile appeared on Su Ru's face and said, "The first batch of goods has arrived, and Sister Zhong and Miss Tang are looking inside." ”
The goods in the shop are mainly all kinds of fancy fabrics and embroidery, and also sell some small items such as women's purses and fans.
These are collected from the villages outside the city, ordinary women, most of them are good at women's red, their hand-woven things, fine stitches, high quality, very popular with customers in the city.
Tang Ning asked the third uncle to select a few clever little girls from Sujia Village to take care of the store and greet guests on weekdays.
Today, the store has not officially opened, and naturally there are no customers, and there are only two people in the store, Tang Yaoyao and Zhongyi.
"I think this shelf should be on the other side." Tang Yaoyao and Zhong Yi were discussing the layout of the store.
The Tang family is in business, and the business is very large, not only the shops of the Tang family are all over Lingzhou City, but the hand of the rich Tang has even reached to other places such as Jingshi.
As the daughter of a rich man, although Tang Goblin is not very good at arithmetic, he has a lot of eyes about doing business, and he can give Xiaoru some constructive suggestions.
When she spoke, she looked at Zhong Yi, then at Su Ru, and finally looked at Tang Ning, the expression on her face, Tang Ning couldn't understand it very well.
Zhong Yi looked at the door and said, "Guest." ”
Although the store has not yet officially opened, the goods are already on the shelves, and customers will not be turned away when they come in.
Su Ru looked at the figure walking in and asked, "Guest officer, what do you want to see?" ”
Tang Ning looked at the figure walking into the store and said in surprise: "Why are you?" ”
Tang Yaoyao looked at the handsome boy, a trace of doubt appeared on his face, and he quickly remembered something, his eyes looked at the chest of the handsome boy, and a trace of doubt appeared in his eyes.
Master Xiao Li looked at Tang Ning and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence, I can also meet Tang Xie Yuan here." ”
This Lord Xiao Li's level of dressing as a man is very high, if Tang Ning hadn't happened to see her incomplete appearance that day, he might not have been able to recognize her for the first time today.
Su Ru looked at them and said in surprise: "Brother Xiao Ning knows this son?" ”
Tang Ning nodded, looked at the little Li, and said, "Xiao Li, meet again." ”
Su Ru poured two cups of tea, put them on the table outside, and walked in again.
Tang Yaoyao glanced at the little Li with a slightly vigilant gaze, pulled Zhong Yi and Su Ru into the room, and whispered in their ears.
The faces of the two quickly turned startled.
At the table, Tang Ning took a sip of tea, looked at the little Li, and asked, "Your envoy, aren't you going to Beijing yet?" ”
"You can arrive in Beijing before the end of the year, and you are not in a hurry." Master Xiao Li looked at him and said, "Besides, Lingzhou has beautiful scenery and outstanding people, and we still want to stay here for more time to see the customs of Lingzhou." ”
Tang Ning always felt that the other party's purpose was not so simple, and he didn't believe that it was a coincidence to meet her here today, last night he felt that this Xiao Li was very wrong, as if there was some plan, and now this feeling is even stronger.
But what does she want to do with herself, he wants money or not, he wants power or not, and the only one who can do it is ......, shouldn't she be the one who wants to be herself?
Tang Ning glanced at her suspiciously, nodded and said, "Then let's stay a little longer......
"It's a pity that we are not familiar with life in this Lingzhou, and the only one we know is Tang Jieyuan...... "Lord Xiao Li looked at him, his voice changed, and said: "These days, I may have to disturb Tang Jieyuan more." ”
Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "Lord Xiao Li said with a smile, if there is anything, the post house and the government will arrange it properly for you, where do you need me to ......"
"Yes." Master Xiao Li nodded and said, "Tang Jieyuan still has to prepare for the provincial test, so we can't bother." ”
Although she said so, Tang Ning's heart never let go.
Especially when he saw the smile on her face, he vaguely felt that trouble was coming.
