Shen Fu heard the word Son of Heaven mentioned in her words, and his hair stood on end in shock, and he hurriedly looked left and right, and saw that no one was paying attention, so he came closer and said: "This is outside, the court is wide, there are many people, be careful of a careless speech, and it will cause trouble in vain!" ”

Chen Yun shook his senses, and he also knew that he had lost his words, so he bit his lip and didn't speak, silently picked up the blue and white bowl and tasted it, suppressing the shock.

Coincidentally, an old scholar broke in at this time, and when the cousin Xiao Liu had just finished serving a table of guests, and was about to receive the next table of guests, he saw him impartially, so he was not in a hurry to run the business, and panicked until he was at the door, raising his eyebrows and glaring, and shouting angrily.

"Bah, you stop me! I warned you a long time ago, this is not a place for you to come, the first two times, it was to see that you were down and pitiful, I didn't care that you ate the overlord meal, but this time, our shopkeeper spoke, saying that he couldn't let you break in again! ”

The old scholar smiled awkwardly and tried to discuss: "Why don't you record it in the account first, and when I develop in the future, I will return it to you!" ”

"No way!" The cousin Xiao Liu had a tough attitude, "I really didn't say you, you have lived for forty or fifty years, why do you live more and more shamelessly?" ”

"Tell me about you, we live on the same street, which one of the large and small restaurants on this street shouldn't you owe? If you want me to say, don't go to the entrance examination, I'll break your toes to calculate it for you, you have also taken the examination for thirty or forty years, and you have seen most of your body in the ground, and now you are not even a lifter, why bother tossing it blindly? It's better to find a way to survive, and save people from looking down on you! ”

The old scholar listened to the ridicule of the cousin, and couldn't help but think of his repeated attempts in the imperial examination, and his heart suddenly felt very uncomfortable, and he sighed sadly: "I've been trapped in it all my life, why delay it for a few more years?" Cousin, you can do it, let me owe it again, and I should accumulate virtue and do good, and if I can win in the future, I will definitely double the amount of food I owe you! ”

The cousin Xiao Liu didn't think about it, and said: "It's not that I'm ruthless, it's really our shopkeeper who spoke early, he said, if you dare to come to eat and drink, you must find a few martial artists to discount your dog's legs!" I advise you, don't stop at the door and block the financial path of our shopkeeper, otherwise our shopkeeper will come in from the outside, and if you don't like it, you will become lame! ”

The old scholar saw that Xiao Liu's tone was not good, and he had already given an order to evict customers, and there was basically no room for negotiation, so he couldn't help but retreat in his heart, but he was really hungry for a day and a night, and his stomach was gurgling, like turning over the river and the sea, so he had to be old-skinned and said with a servile face: "Even if I beg you, can't it be done?" You can be accommodating this time, I am so hungry and dizzy that I can't even read a book this morning! ”

"Come on, you're starting to mess around again!"

Xiao Liu, the cousin, was a little tired and had already begun to get started to drive people away.

"Hurry up, don't delay us to open the door for business, I tell you, I have eaten a trench and grown wise, and I will not sympathize with you anymore!"

"For the last time! For the last time! ”

The old scholar resisted the strong drive of the cousin Xiao Liu, and pleaded cheekily.

"Please, please!"

At this time, the guests in the hall began to discuss.

Some people are kind-hearted and can't stand it, and they said in a loud voice: "Xiao Liu, this person is also a pitiful, he has taken the imperial examination for most of his life, and he has never even been on the list, so you can help him, Zuo is just sparing him a white meal, in case he is really developed in the future, can he not repay you with a peach?" ”

Some people have clear thinking and unique opinions: "Brother is very wrong when he says this, people open the door to welcome guests, and do a business of giving money with one hand and delivering goods with one hand, and now you want people to do loss-making transactions, who in the world wants to do it?" ”

Xiao Liu saw that the guests in the restaurant said a word and I said a word, so it was not lively, and then looked back at the old pedant with quail clothes, and couldn't help but show disdain, and sneered: "He is pitiful, he has taken the exam more than a dozen times, and he has not been lifted so far, but he has hands and feet, and no one has stopped him, and he is not allowed to think of ways to make a living." Speaking of which, isn't he lazy? ”

Someone has nothing to do with himself, hangs high, and says cool words: "Oh, quickly drive him out, this person has a poor and sour face, whoever sees him is unlucky, I don't want to eat a meal, I have a bad luck for no reason, and I turn around and make the house restless, but what should I do?" ”

Chen Yun listened to the noisy noise of a room of people, and had different opinions, so she had to sigh: "It's really the world that looks cold and warm, and people's faces are getting higher and lower!" ”

Shen Fu smacked through Chen Yun's words, and couldn't help but be moved, and hurriedly walked out of the box. When I walked outside the screen, I saw that the old pedant was standing tall and looking depressed, and he suddenly felt pity, so he walked to the front of the store in public and said to the cousin Xiao Liu: "Little Er, how much silver does this person owe you?" ”

Xiao Liu, the cousin, saw that Shen Fu planned to accumulate virtue and do good, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "Not much, not much, a total of two taels of silver!" ”

"Okay, I'll help him pay off the arrears in one go!" Shen Fu said solemnly, "From now on, you are no longer allowed to ridicule him with this reason!" ”

Seeing that a few bad debts could still be recovered, Xiao Liu's joy was indescribable, so he hurriedly bowed his shoulders and bowed, and said with a sneer: "How dare you?" How dare you? Alas, don't thank you yet, people have broken the bank for you! ”

The old pedant was slow to react for a moment, and then clenched his fists in embarrassment and saluted respectfully.

Shen Fu didn't care about these clichés and false courtesies, but he saw that the old pedant's clothes were in tatters, Zhou's body was full of dust stains, and the beard on his chin had not been repaired for two or three months, which was very bad, so he asked with a smile: "I just heard that Mr. has been hungry for a long time, and it just so happens that there is still some loose silver in his hand, so it is better for you to invite you in for a meal, and you should make a friend!" ”

The old pedant retreated in his heart, but he couldn't bear the screaming in his stomach, and finally said: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I'm actually reduced to a late student who invited me to dinner!" ”

Shen Fu heard him say this, and his attitude was even more solemn: "Sir, don't think like this, the late life is willing to help, naturally there is a reason for the late life, as for the reason, the late life is not willing to say it clearly, please don't ask the bottom line!" ”

The old scholar looked apprehensive, and after listening to Shen Fu's words, he began to raise his eyes and said, "I understand!" I understand! ”

Shen Fu saw that he had figured it out, and hurriedly welcomed the person in with a happy face.

At that time, the diners in the restaurant saw him walk in magnificently, and they were shocked one by one, and they shouted at Xiao Liu.

"Xiao Liu, why did you invite him back again?"

"Get out of here, I don't want to eat in front of him, can I eat it?"

"If you don't drive out this pickled goods, then we won't eat this meal!"

The cousin Xiao Liu didn't dare to disobey the anger of the public, so he hurriedly ran to Shen Fu's side, with a guilty face: "Shen Gongzi, you see, everyone's attitude, if he really stays, our business will not be able to be done, otherwise, you can just send him some copper plates, let him change to another family to eat!" ”

Shen Fu glanced at Xiao Liu in disgust, couldn't help but interrupt his words, and said: "The goods are high and low and three equal prices, and customers are not far or near!" When you open your door to attract business, you should treat customers from all over the world with sincerity, how can you not treat everyone equally? ”

The cousin Xiao Liu had shallow knowledge, and digested Shen Fu's words in shock, and was embarrassed: "The reason is such a reason, but the public is angry, and we can't offend a large number of customers for the sake of one customer, right?" Besides, it's still the same ......."

Shen Fu didn't want to go against Xiao Liu, so he had to take a compromise solution: "I remember, there is still a vacant wing room on the second floor of yours, and now it comes in handy, but I bother you to go up and clean up first, and I will take that gentleman up later!" ”

Cousin Xiao Liu heard that this method was good, neither offending the diners in the store nor harming the sales performance of the store, so he ran upstairs to clean up the room.

Shen Fu was free at this time, so he had time to ask about the life of the old scholar, and led him into the box he had booked, and introduced Chen Yun in person.

Chen Yun is not very old, and he likes Yingying Yanyan the most, when he saw this old pedant, he looked depressed, skinny as firewood, his linen clothes were torn like honeycomb coal, and there were rotten holes and holes everywhere, he really couldn't raise any good feelings, but because of his chivalrous liver and courage, he barely showed a smiling face.

The old scholar has been poor since he was a child, and his parents went early, he has been a bachelor for more than 50 years before, and he usually lives in a simple place, and he really can't see the girl with a flower and moonlight, but now at first glance, he can't help but exclaim: "Dare to ask Shen Gongzi, who is this ......?" ”

"Humble Jing Chen!"

Shen Fu's steps were light, and he slowly sat down beside Chen Yun, and while introducing himself to the old pedant, he asked: "Dare to ask Mr. What is his surname, how much is Gui Geng?" ”

The old scholar examined Shen Fu a few times, and saw that he had a ruddy face, a long body, and the style of a rich son, and suddenly felt dwarfed, so he said with shame: "Don't give your surname Xi, the word Gang, you are fifty years old, I am afraid that Shen Gongzi will be thirty or forty years old!" ”

Shen Fu nodded.

Xi Gang asked again: "I see that Shen Gongzi has an extraordinary appearance, I don't know if he has ever been on the scene?" ”

"I've been on it, but I was full of confidence before I went, but I was discouraged after the game, and I couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into!" Shen Fu chatted with emotion, and suddenly asked curiously: "Later, I saw that you talked extraordinary, why did you go down every time?" ”

"I'm really ashamed to say that I wrote a chapter before the exam, but when I got on the field, I didn't know what kind of trouble I made, I couldn't figure it out, and I couldn't write it!"

Xi Gang was fortunate to meet a confidant, full of gratitude.

"I took the test, and before I knew it, I had finished most of my life! I also figured it out, and finally put in a dead effort, wait for two years, take the exam again, if I can't make the list again, I will be completely dead, from now on, what should I do, never talk about the four books and five classics! ”

Shen Fu couldn't help nodding, because he saw that the cousin Xiao Liu rushed over, and quickly opened his mouth to ask, "Can it be cleaned up above?" ”

The cousin Xiao Liu smiled and said, "It's already cleaned up, let's ask Shen Gongzi, are you going to go up now or later?" ”

Chen Yun was silent for a long time, and suddenly spoke: "How long will it take for the dishes we ordered earlier to be served?" ”

The cousin Xiao Liu didn't understand the specific situation, so he had to pull another cousin Xiaoye over to pay his respects.

"The dishes ordered by Shen Gongzi have already been prepared, but we just saw that you and this old gentleman were chatting happily, so we didn't dare to come forward to disturb!"

Shen Fu listened to the details, opened his mouth and instructed Xiao Ye: "Let's go upstairs and wait first, and when the dishes are cooked, you will bring them upstairs, in addition, add one more plate of snacks and dishes, and send a small jar of Shaoxing rice wine up!" ”

The cousin Xiao Ye's chin pulled down, and said with a smile: "Okay, Shen Gongzi, wait a while, the little one will arrive later!" ”

Shen Fu smiled indifferently, turned his head and led Xi Gang upstairs, Chen Yun followed behind the two, carrying a three-layer embroidered skirt and carefully went upstairs.

When he arrived on the second floor, Shen Fushu felt the way to the front of the house, unlocked the door, gently pushed open the dark flower door, and respectfully greeted Xi Gang in.

Seeing him lower his posture like this, Chen Yun was very curious about where the lowly Xi Gang was attractive, and thought that he would ask carefully when he went back.

"I thought that after many years, this place should be deserted, and I don't want to pick up a little, but it is also a good place!"

Shen Fu's eyes slipped around, and when he saw that Xi Gang was still standing in place and didn't move, he hurriedly greeted him with his hand and said, "Mr. Xi, please take a seat!" ”

Xi Gang said a few polite words, slowly entered the room, and chose a south-facing position to sit down.

Shen Fu saw him like this, and knew that he was honest and polite, so he slowly sat down to the west.

Chen Yun married her husband and sat down side by side in a northward position.
