Early in the morning of the second day, Jinxiu pushed open Zhu Youzhen's door, walked to the inner room with a basin, and saw Zhang Zhiji on the bed hugging Zhu Youzhen sleeping sweetly.

With an "ah" sound, she put the basin on the stool and ran out.

Hearing the sound, Zhu Youzhen opened his eyes and looked at Jinxiu who was running out, and wanted to get up to ask what happened, but he was held by Zhang Zhiji and couldn't sit up.

At this time, Zhu Youzhen understood that Jinxiu was afraid that he had misunderstood this situation, and he shouted to Jinxiu who was running out: "Wearing clothes." ”

Jinxiu heard Zhu Youzhen's voice, then stopped, turned around, and sure enough, saw that Zhu Youzhen, who had already sat up at this time, was wearing clothes, and most of the corners were lifted by Zhu Youzhen's getting up, revealing Zhang Zhiji who was sleeping in Zhu Youzhen, and this Zhang Zhiji didn't even take off his outer robe.

Zhu Youzhen saw Jinxiu stop and asked, "What are you running?" ”

Jinxiu stammered: "I thought, I thought it was ......"

"Why?"

"I thought you had a long night, and the beautiful scenery ...... good day", Jinxiu said with a little weak heart.

Zhu Youzhen stretched out his hand and tried a lot of strength to move Zhang Zhiji's arm away, so he had to lower his head and lie in Zhang Zhiji's ear and say, "The round girl is here." ”

Zhang Zhiji, who was asleep, immediately sat up in shock and said, "Where is it? Where's the round girl? ”

"I called you a few times and didn't wake up, the round girl couldn't bear to disturb your dream and left."

Zhang Zhiji looked around, and at this time, there were no other people in the room except for Jinxiu, so he understood that he had been deceived, so he lowered his head and continued to sleep.

Zhu Youzhen lifted the quilt and got out of bed, found a robe to put on, and said to Jinxiu: "Why is it so early today?" ”

"Didn't Childe tell me that I was going to visit Suzhou City today, so I should get up earlier?"

"Oh? Is there anything else going on? I drank too much last night and forgot, so Xu is talking nonsense again. ”

Jinxiu listened to Zhu Youzhen's words, and thought that he only thought that it was a drunken word, and would not practice it, she was full of energy since last night, and she was suddenly disappointed, and said with some grievances in her heart: "That Jinxiu is waiting for the son to wash." ”

After Zhu Youzhen finished washing, someone from the other courtyard came into the room to report, "Childe, Shopkeeper Xu is already waiting in the hall, let the villain come and report." ”

"Well, let him wait, and this son will pack up and go over."

The man answered and went out to leave, Zhu Youzhen threw the facecloth that had been wiped on his face to Zhang Zhiji's head, who was still asleep on the bed, and the wet handkerchief was like mud on Zhang Zhiji's face, which suddenly made him feel a dampness on his head.

Zhang Zhiji stretched out his hand and ripped off the facekerchief that was glued to his face, opened his eyes and sat up, and said to Zhu Youzhen dissatisfied: "Can you let people sleep well, don't good-looking people deserve the right to sleep?" ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "If you have the ability to use your smooth tongue in front of the round girl, what kind of ability is it for me to use my tongue." ”

"You are naked jealousy."

Jinxiu was helping Zhu Youzhen sort out his robe, Zhu Youzhen turned his head to Zhang Zhiji and said: "You just continue to be self-absorbed, since you don't want to get up, you can continue to sleep, you don't have to take what I said to you last night seriously, it's just a famous lady, how can you sleep comfortably, we will go out in a while, but we don't have time to wait for you." After speaking, Zhu Youzhen took a step towards the door.

As soon as Zhang Zhiji heard Zhu Youzhen's words, he suddenly fell asleep, quickly lifted the quilt and jumped out of bed, and said while running to the basin: "Fifth brother, you slow down, I will have a stick of incense." ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't answer, and still walked out without looking back.

Zhang Zhiji didn't change the water, and then Zhu Youzhen washed the water on his face and cleaned it, he picked up the water and washed a few handfuls randomly, and ran outside without even changing his clothes, at this time Zhu Youzhen and Jinxiu just walked through the corner of the eaves in front of the door, Zhang Zhiji saw the two figures and quickly chased in their direction.

Following Zhu Youzhen and Jinxiu all the way to the main hall, Zhang Zhi said puzzledly: "Didn't you say you wanted to go out?" What are you doing here? ”

Without Zhu Youzhen's explanation, the three of them walked into the hall and saw Wan Yutai's shopkeeper Xu sitting there drinking tea, and Zhang Zhiji understood that he was here to meet guests.

Shopkeeper Xu waited in the hall for a short time, and saw Zhu Youzhen and the three of them

Come over quickly, and then look at Zhang Zhiji's somewhat messy hair and wrinkled satin robe, Shopkeeper Xu hurriedly got up and greeted him: "It's early to come down, disturbing the son's rest." ”

Zhu Youzhen said in his heart, if you really apologize and wait here, why let people announce it, just said casually: "It's okay." ”

Shopkeeper Xu said: "Yesterday, the owner asked me to come today to take my son around Suzhou City, and I came here early to avoid delaying my son's trip." ”

This Xu shopkeeper Zhang Zhiji has also seen several times, starting from Xuzhou all the way to Suzhou Mansion, a group of people walked with this Xu shopkeeper all the way, at first Zhang Zhiji had a good impression of Xu shopkeeper, but at this time he looked at Xu shopkeeper, looked at this Xu shopkeeper with a look of scrutiny and asked: "You are the shopkeeper who takes care of the industry for the fifth brother?" ”

Shopkeeper Xu thought about it, Wan Yutai's list of proprietors didn't seem to have the name of this Zhu Wugongzi, not even the proprietor surnamed Zhu, so he shook his head and said, "Where did Zhang Gongzi start with this?" The proprietor of Wan Yutai is Mr. Qian. ”

After Zhang Zhiji thought about it, it may be that the shopkeeper Xu didn't know, and he said with some warning: "No matter who the proprietor is, shopkeeper Xu should do a good job, don't do anything to enrich your pockets." As he spoke, Zhang Zhiji stretched out his right hand, pointed at his eyes with his middle and index fingers apart, and then pointed at the shopkeeper Xu with his fingers, and then said, "I will keep an eye on you." ”

Shopkeeper Xu was a little stunned by Zhang Zhiji, I don't know what he meant, could it be that he knew about taking kickbacks? I didn't know what to do for a while.

Zhu Youzhen listened to Zhang Zhiji's words, and then remembered the account book last night, he saw the appearance of the two of them, and opened his mouth to relieve the siege: "Has the shopkeeper Xu used the morning food?" ”

"It's already been used, if the son hasn't had time to eat, I'll wait here for the childe, and it's not too late for the son to use the morning food."

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand and said: "No need, when will we go out for a stroll, and by the way, find a special feature of Suzhou Mansion on the street to taste." After speaking, Zhu Youzhen turned around and asked Zhang Zhiji: "Does Ziyu still want to go back to the room to clean up?" ”

Zhang Zhi was extremely afraid that Zhu Youzhen would leave him behind, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No need, I think this is very good, there is a sense of vicissitudes, men pay attention to connotation, and don't care about makeup." ”

Since Zhang Zhiji was not going to change clothes and wash again, Zhu Youzhen said to the shopkeeper Xu: "Then let's go." ”

A few people went out of the door of the courtyard, and the shopkeeper Xu beckoned a few people to get into the carriage, Zhu Youzhen shook his head and said: "Since it is a stroll, wouldn't you miss a lot by taking the carriage, so I won't take the car today, let's just walk along the street all the way." ”

Shopkeeper Xu pampered all day long, and when he went out, he was a carriage and a horse, and today was Zhu Youzhen's request, so he had to abandon the carriage and walk with a few people.

The whole Dushu Lake covers a wide area, and there are a lot of houses built around the lake, but there are only a few of them on the scale of this annex, and they are all famous, and this place is called "Fengxing Courtyard".

This place is beautiful and beautiful, some money and some leisure and elegance have bought houses nearby, so there is no business in this place, Zhu Youzhen and a few people have walked for a long time and have not found a place to eat, he can't help but wonder: "Aren't Suzhou people eating outside?" ”

Shopkeeper Xu explained: "The house here is not cheap, there are thousands of taels of silver at every turn, there is so much silver to buy a house here, which family will not have a kitchen servant, even if these people are tired of eating things in the house, they would rather take a carriage to a prosperous place to eat something good, there have been a few restaurants here, and then they were not well managed and closed." ”

"If we had known that, we should have gotten in the carriage and gone straight to those commercial places."

The shopkeeper Xu couldn't answer this, he was already tired, but he didn't want to go back to find the car and horses at this time, so the shopkeeper Xu didn't pick up the stubble, just lowered his head and walked forward.

Zhu Youjian said: "How far is there a restaurant?" ”

The shopkeeper Xu said: "Turn around this street and walk two more streets to arrive." ”

A few people walked three streets, Zhu Youzhen, Zhang Zhiji and Jinxiu still did not change their faces, and then looked at the shopkeeper Xu, at this time his face was already red and sweating.

Although he was very tired, the shopkeeper Xu did not dare to slack off, he pointed to a small restaurant in front of him and said: "A few of you can go to that Wu Xianglou to eat some, it is the best restaurant in this area." ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded, and followed the shopkeeper Xu to the Tianxiang Building he pointed to.

When he arrived at the door of Tianxiang Building, Zhu Youzhen just glanced inside, and saw that it was not only the outside courtyard that was cold, but also the inside.

As soon as Xiao Er of Tianxianglou saw that a guest was coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "A few guest officers, please." ”

Zhu Youzhen grabbed the shopkeeper Xu who was about to go inside, looked at the little two and said, "Is the food here very expensive?" ”

Xiao Er looked at the clothes of these people and felt that they must be rich customers, so he said: "It's not expensive, it's not expensive, if a few guest officers want to eat more heartily, it's only a tael of silver for a meal." ”

Zhu Youzhen pretended to be surprised and said: "A meal for four people costs one or two silver, isn't this expensive?" Let's switch to another one. ”

Shopkeeper Xu was very puzzled when he heard Zhu Youzhen's words, the person who could make money and wealth was only a tael of silver, not only him, but even Zhang Zhiji and Jinxiu were very puzzled by what Zhu Youzhen meant.

Shopkeeper Xu hurriedly said: "Childe doesn't have to worry about the silver ......"

Without waiting for Shopkeeper Xu to continue, Zhu Youzhen secretly pinched him, and Shopkeeper Xu immediately stopped talking.

Zhu Youzhen turned around and left.

The little second was also anxious, and hurriedly said: "If a few guest officials are too expensive, there are cheaper ones, a pot of barley tea for three yuan, and a meat bun for eight yuan......"

Zhu Youzhen also ignored the call of the little two behind him, and led a few people to turn around and leave.

Xiao Er of Tianxianglou returned to the counter dejectedly, and the shopkeeper complained: "You scared the guests away again, right?" ”

The little two said unconvinced: "Look at these people, they are not bad, how can they think that they are a few poor ghosts, and they are scared like that for one or two silver, they can't even afford to eat meat buns and dare to come to our Tianxianglou." ”

The shopkeeper sighed and said: "It's not good for me to be old now, looking at those people who are brightly dressed, who knows how broken the inside is." ”

After walking farther, Zhang Zhiji said inexplicably: "Fifth brother, what does this mean?" When did you start caring about a tael of silver? ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "You see that there are so few people there, it must be because the food is not delicious, otherwise how can no one eat it?" ”

Shopkeeper Xu explained: "I have eaten the things of Tianxianglou many times, and they are all good in color and flavor, not what Gongzi said. ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't follow the words of the shopkeeper Xu, but stretched out his hand and pointed to a fly restaurant not far in front of him and said, "You see that there are many people there, business is booming, and the things must be delicious, let's go over and have a look." ”

Shopkeeper Xu saw that Zhu Youzhen didn't listen to him, and he didn't say any more, anyway, he didn't eat by himself, and it was up to a few people to choose where to go.

A few people came to the small restaurant and found a table to sit down.

The restaurant is not large, only five steps deep, and there are only two tables on the left and right, and the weather is a little hot and humid, and the guests who come to eat are sitting on the tables outside the restaurant, and the tables inside are empty.

Inside the door of this restaurant is a long half-person-tall table with a piece of dough on it, and the shopkeeper is pulling noodles on the table.

Zhu Youzhen was very excited when he saw the movement of the shopkeeper's hands: "Ramen? ”

At this time, the shopkeeper was putting the noodles in his hand into a large pot, and only after finishing his work did he come over to greet Zhu Youzhen and a few people.

"What are the guest officers eating? The small shop has steamed buns, steamed buns, flatbreads, and noodles. ”

"The store brought me a ramen, and I asked for leeks."

Zhang Zhiji and Jinxiu said together: "Me too." ”

The shopkeeper said blankly: "Leek's? What is it? ”

Zhang Zhiji and the others also looked at Zhu Youzhen, waiting for him to explain.

"Pulled out like leek leaves, flattened, wide."

"Okay, a few guest officers, wait a minute."

Zhu Youzhen understood that as soon as he explained the shop, it seemed that the name should be different, and he said: "The store works hard, and if you pull it well, my son will be rewarded." ”

The shopkeeper stood in front of the desk and said, "Just look at it." ”

Zhu Youzhen looked inside, and saw that the shopkeeper opened his mouth and spit on his hands, then rubbed his hands, and then pressed the dough, looking really hard.

Zhang Zhiji and Jinxiu were dumbfounded, is this actually this hard work?
