Chapter 10: Please become a master
As Bai Xue expected, even if Wang Si died, he couldn't make a wave in the county, Bai Xue was right, people were dying every day along the county, starving to death, no one would ask how a Wang Si and Ah San disappeared for several days.
Bai Xue ran out early in the morning, Bai Lan set up a carriage and ran to the Qinglou to invite the girl, and Zhang Jiushou, a shop in the center of the city, had already ordered someone to decorate it and wait for it to open.
The location of the shop is on the edge of the center, not remote, and the flow of people is okay, or Bai Xue got the news from somewhere, and the shop of two old people was ordered, but it cost ten taels of silver to rent it for a year, and the price was twice as cheap as other shops in the city center.
Originally, the old man in the store heard that there were two sons, who went to be soldiers, and they have not come back, and the neighbors around them said that they could not come back after they died, and the two old people depended on each other, and there was no news in the past few years, and they must have died in a foreign country, and the two old people could not do farm work, so they changed hands.
The decoration is only 500 yuan, not counting the materials used, and the furniture such as the original abandoned door, counter, table, etc., was made by the carpenter Master Zhou, and it immediately became brand new. Zhang Jiushou marveled at the integrity of the ancients, that Zhou master promised to get it for him in three days, every day the chicken did not crow to go out, and only went home when it was dark, with a lot of wounds on his hands, one day earlier than the original scheduled time.
Bai Xue, who inquired about the news, also came back soon, but her expression was not good, and as soon as she entered the door, she said, "Young master, it's not good!" The ruffians in Dongcheng heard that you were going to open your business, and they wanted to come for your trouble! ”
"Are you here to collect protection money or to make trouble?"
Zhang Jiushou said: "Whoever is the leader, go and inform the government immediately." ”
Bai Xue frowned and said: "The young master is useless, the government doesn't care, it's better to send those people with some silver, and invite the officials to come, eat and drink to entertain those people and stay like a leper dog, the hospitality is not good, they want to make you angry, and after the official mission leaves, those ruffians will come to the door." ”
Zhang Jiushou frowned and said, "What do you say I should do?" ”
Bai Xue said: "Young master, you don't have an old relationship with Cheng Ye, she wants to come here, the ruffians on East Street hear her name, who dares to pay attention to you!" ”
Zhang Jiushou suddenly smiled, and said: "How did I forget this relationship, fortunately, you reminded me, I didn't expect you to be quite clever, and immediately let Bai Lan invite Cheng Ye!" ”
Bai Xue said: "This is not good, young master, Bai Lan is not familiar with Cheng Ye, people may not sell her account, and how can there be a reason to come to the door empty-handed, this matter, you have to go in person, young master!" ”
As soon as he thought of Cheng Ye, Zhang Jiushou felt uncomfortable, a female devil who killed everyone in the Li family overnight, I don't know if she can sleep peacefully? Anyway, Zhang Jiushou had a nightmare for three days when he killed someone for the first time, but fortunately, he kept comforting himself that he was self-defense!
Zhang Jiushou said: "I'll go now, take care of the store, and if someone comes to make trouble later, I'll take some silver to send them away, fortunately, a few days ago, Liang Zhikai lost a hundred taels of silver to me at the poetry meeting, otherwise I won't have any money!" ”
As soon as she thought of Liang Kai, Bai Xue couldn't help but smile and said: I know the young master, you have to go early and return early!
Bai Lan led a group of girls to the door, the signboard Jiushoutang at the door has not yet been hung up, there are festive decorations on both sides, a group of girls are at a loss, the leader does not speak, just comforts the girls around, there are two taels of silver a day, I heard that it is just for a few of us to dance.
Zhang Jiushou left, Bai Xue is the backbone of the store, Bai Xue saw the leading girl Roland, and said: "Later, please ask your sisters to dance, to celebrate, it will not delay you for long!" ”
A few girls are good at dancing, but the new store opened and invited the women of the Qinglou to dance, and Roland heard it for the first time.
Zhang Jiushou had already prepared tea to greet the girls, and the two sisters Bai Xue were quite polite in tone, where did the girls at the head be respected by the nobles, in the eyes of the nobles, they were just lowly and dirty slaves, every time they went to the show, they were tired and tired, not to mention, but also to be looked at, and suddenly burst into tears for a while.
Zhang Jiushou on the side hurried to Chengfu, in fact, Chengye's original name was Yang Zhaoyi, his father always wanted a son, but he didn't expect to give birth to two daughters in the end, and when he gave birth to Yang Zhaodi, her mother had a difficult birth, contracted a cold, and finally gave birth to a daughter, her father was angry, and ran out directly to spend all day drinking, and never stepped into the house for half a month.
At that time, Yang Zhaoyi was also a master, only three years old, and when she saw her mother coughing in bed, she had no choice, and finally had to watch her mother die!
Fortunately, there are elders in the family, Yang Zhaoyi took her sister and father to separate at a young age, and since then she has not been in contact with each other, and she has also followed her mother's surname.
It was Cheng Zhaoyi's sister Cheng Zhaodi who opened the door, no one had come to the house for a long time, Cheng Zhaodi saw Zhang Jiushou and said with some doubts: "Who are you looking for?" ”
Zhang Jiushou said: "I came to find Cheng Ye, and I said that Zhang Jiushou of Huangsha Village came to him!" ”
Cheng Zhaoyi was watering the flowers in the yard, and when she heard Zhang Jiushou's name, she put down the water in her hand, walked to the door, and said, "What are you looking for me for!" ”
Cheng Zhaoyi didn't dress up as a man, but simply tied her hair, looking extremely handsome, Zhang Jiushou got straight to the point and said:
"Someone is making trouble for me, and I need your help!"
Cheng Ye called his sister who was on the side, and her sister was also interested, so she said to go out and buy some things, and when her sister left, Cheng Zhaoyi said playfully: "What's the benefit of helping you?" ”
Zhang Jiushou said: "You should know that in addition to money, I don't think you should be interested in other places!" ”
Cheng Zhaoyi said: "That's true, but I heard that you wrote a poem a few days ago, and you ran away with Fang Wenxianggong, so I'm curious, what are the last two sentences of your poem that night!" ”
In fact, the leader of the poetry club is still Liang Kai, because of Zhang Jiushou's retaliatory behavior in the Qinglou, Fang Wen Xianggong did not read the second half of the sentence in public, but everyone with a discerning eye knows that Zhang Jiushou is the leader of that night.
Zhang Jiushou didn't expect that the conditions for Cheng Ye's help turned out to be just one sentence, and he couldn't help but sigh that the ancients' pursuit of poetry was crazy to the point of madness, which also explained that Li Bai was so arrogant and the emperor didn't kill him in the end.
Zhang Jiushou said: "Thousands of mountains and birds fly away, and thousands of people disappear. Lonely boat, fishing alone in the cold river and snow. ”
Before Zhang Jiushou finished speaking, Cheng Zhaoyi quickly put on his coat and wore a short sword around his waist, and when he heard the last two sentences, his movements slowed down, and his brows began to wrinkle.
Zhang Jiushou thought that Cheng Zhaoyi didn't know how to appreciate it, and comforted himself that in addition to knowing how to kill people with a sword, how could a female devil understand the beautiful artistic conception in poetry.
