Chapter 120: The Winter Water of the River
At night, in the attic of the art garden, Dong Ce read yesterday's account book, closed it and said, "Yesterday's business finally improved a little. ”
Zhen Wan put the tea on the table and said with a smile: "The owner is like a god, don't you expect that business will improve?" ”
"Don't lift me up, the reason why I can expect it is that I am prepared, but the shopping mall is like a battlefield, changing rapidly, it is impossible for everything to be up to you, now many Qinglou brothels and teahouses are taking advantage of this time to learn to sing drama for us, although it is not in the stream, but it is no cost, just this gimmick is enough to pull away many of our customers."
"But they still learn from us, thinking that isn't that the case of breaking jade, and now there are more than a dozen buildings in Jinling that are being staged, but they have been scolded." Zhen Wanwan said with a smile.
Dong Ce shook his head and said: "Even if it is scolding, it can still attract many people, besides, as time goes by, they will slowly grasp the essence of the drama, so that they will get better and better, and the competition with us will be more fierce at that time." ”
"Is the proprietor still afraid of this? I don't think so. Zhen Wan said with a smile.
"There's no progress without competition, and it's not fun for me to play alone." Dong Ce said, drank all the tea on the case, patted his thighs with both hands, stood up and said, "Okay, you help supervise tonight's drama, I'll go back and rest first." ”
Zhen Wan looked at Dong Ce's dark eye bags and said a little strangely: "Didn't the owner sleep well last night?" ”
Dong Ce smiled bitterly when he heard this, and didn't explain, just nodded, he didn't sleep well last night, but he didn't sleep at all, and he took a nap at almost dawn.
Out of the art garden, Dong Ce rode on a donkey, and Liu Fu rode a pack horse that was not much bigger than a donkey, which made him feel very awkward, and said bitterly: "Young boy, I think we should change." ”
"Don't! Don't, these two beasts are almost the same size, and I don't know who they are! Dong Ce shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Liu Fu was very helpless when he heard this, but fortunately his father was not there, and his grandfather Liu Sanzhong also went to Huzhou as early as possible to help understand the detained boatman, and he didn't know when he would be able to come back, otherwise let them see that Liu Fu would have to lose his skin.
The master and servant walked all the way home, and when they were passing a secluded arched bridge, Liu Fu, who was bored and looking around, suddenly saw a woman standing in front of the guardrail on the bridge in a daze, looking down at the river.
At this time, it was already dark, and Liu Fu couldn't see what the person looked like, but judging from her body that was blown by the cold wind, her chest and waist were extremely attractive, and it was extremely lethal to a teenager of his age, so he couldn't help but take a few more looks.
But looking at it, Liu Fu suddenly saw the woman jump and step on the guardrail.
"Young boy, you...... Look...... What is the man going to do? Liu Fu noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly greeted Dong Ce on the side.
Dong Ce was thinking about something, and when he heard it, "Huh? With a sigh, he raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Liu Fu's finger, and at this moment, the two of them saw the woman on the small bridge plunging into the river at the same time.
"Damn!" Dong Ce absolutely didn't believe that this woman jumped into the river to swim, now that the weather is getting colder, the temperature drops to about ten degrees at night, and only crazy people will swim at this time these days.
"What about the young man?" Liu Fu exclaimed.
"Why did Lao Tzu encounter this kind of thing again, you wait for the warmth next year, hurry up and learn to swim for me, and this kind of thing will be handled by you in the future." As he spoke, Dong Ce had already turned over and dismounted from the donkey, rushed to the bridge with one arrow step, stretched out his hand to support the guardrail and fell into the river.
The cold river water made Dong Ce shiver instantly, he swept his eyes quickly, but he didn't see anyone struggling on the water, just as he was about to dive in, he suddenly saw something floating motionless on the surface of the water not far downstream, he was shocked, and said secretly: "You won't burp so soon, right?" ”
Although he thought so, Dong Ce still stepped on his feet and swung his feet, and with a few quick strokes of his hands, he caught up with the thing floating on the water, and when he got closer, he found that it was really a person, he hurriedly reached out and grabbed the person's ankle, but when his hand just touched someone's ankle, he was immediately kicked by that foot, and then the woman who was still like a dead thing before suddenly turned over and exclaimed: "You care about me...... Woo...... Ahem, ahem, I'm ...... Woo...... Save...... Me, my feet...... Save ......"
"Hey, what's the situation?" Dong Ce took a breath, feeling a little inexplicable, and didn't care that the voice was a little familiar, grabbed the woman's shoulders and pulled her into his arms.
But when he was about to slowly retreat to the shore, he didn't expect the woman in his arms to struggle violently, and she shouted indiscriminately: "Where are you touching!" You disciple, I'll kill you, kill you......" As he spoke, Xiuquan frantically beckoned Dong Ce's head.
Don't look at this woman's slender body, the small fist is not big but full of strength, a few punches will hit Dong Ce dizzy, but seeing that it is almost to the shore, Dong Ce also endured it, after all, he did touch the place where he shouldn't be touched, but in this case he is also very helpless, not that he intended it, he just wanted to hug his waist, but he slipped and got stuck there as soon as he swam away!
After a lot of effort and beating, Dong Ce finally dragged the woman ashore, but the woman still refused to give up, grabbed Dong Ce's arm with one hand, turned over and wrapped around him and hit him on the head with a fist.
"Enough!" Dong Ce snorted, shook his hand and slapped the woman.
"Smack!" There was a crisp sound, and the scene instantly fell silent.
"Crazy enough, since you're not looking for death, why should you go?" Dong Ce turned around and wanted to leave, but as soon as he took a step, his wrist was suddenly firmly grabbed by a small hand.
Dong Ce frowned, turned his head angrily, and saw that this woman was holding up her upper body with one small arm, and firmly grasping him with one hand, but her head was very low, her long wet hair blocked her appearance, and she was wearing a black dress close to her graceful and delicate body, extremely tempting, and then blown by the cold wind of the night, like a stranded mermaid shivering.
In the face of such a poor woman, Dong Ce had no pity for the jade, but asked with a dark face: "You didn't touch porcelain, right?" ”
The woman didn't say a word, still holding Dong Ce's wrist.
"If you don't let go, don't blame me for not knowing how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade!" After Dong Ce finished speaking coldly, seeing that the woman still hadn't moved, he couldn't help but get angry, and was about to shake off his hands to break free, when suddenly the woman finally said loudly: "My feet hurt!" ”
Dong Ce's pair of narrow fox eyes instantly widened, there was no sound of water at the moment, this sound was extremely real, and he instantly thought of a woman!
Hurriedly squatting down, Dong Ce reached out to pry away the woman's wet hair, just as Liu Fu ran over with a lantern, although the woman still lowered her head, but from this angle alone, Dong Ce could see who it was, and suddenly he felt that one head was two big, tilted his head and sighed softly: "My God, you calculated that I passed by here, and then let me get wet!" Okay, even I have fallen for your scheme, and if you spread it out, you will definitely be famous all over the world. ”
"Poof...... Ahem, ahem, ahem......" The woman seemed to be about to laugh, but she was choked and coughed repeatedly.
After a whole cough, the woman finally raised her head, revealing a sword eyebrow and apricot eyes, and a beautiful face with a small mouth melon seed face, which was Fang Shuwei who said goodbye at Mingjian Xuan at noon!
