Wang Dali still needs money to buy medicine, Lan Jun wanted to go to the pawnshop to sell a ring yesterday, so he stopped it because of the bad words, but the price was Tang Xu's another.

"Boss, has anyone wanted to buy tea recently?" Tang Xu had no choice but to go to the innkeeper again.

"Tang Gongzi, I also asked for you, but I heard that a new commercial house has opened in the city, selling tea, the price is low, the things are good, and I can't find customers for a while." The boss was very embarrassed, but after all, he was an understatement, and he would definitely not feel sorry for him when he had no money to earn and did not charge for the house.

"How good is it? I've bought this high-end product for a lot of money. Tang Xu was embarrassed to let the boss hear it, so he muttered secretly when he walked away, but it was not a way to go on like this.

"What comptoir robbed the whole city of guests?" Tang Xu was in a bad mood when he stayed in the house and wanted to go out to have a look.

Tang Xu didn't go far out, and saw a lot of people queuing in front of a store not far in front, not so much queuing, but more appropriate, Tang Xu was very curious, and also looked at it.

"What are you doing?" People were crowded, and Tang Xu couldn't see why, but everyone seemed to be waiting for something, and no one answered him.

"Buy noodles!" A person next to him who also tried to squeeze in was kind enough to answer him in his busy schedule.

"Buying noodles?" Tang Xu was full of question marks, this posture, could it be that the boss was merciful to open a warehouse and release grain, and didn't want money?

"Did you bring something?" The man kindly asked Tang Xu again, and pulled him by the hand, afraid that he would be squeezed down by the people behind him.

"What's that? Money? I have. Tang Xu said.

"Sack." The man looked at Tang Xu as if he had seen something strange.

"Do you need a sack to buy noodles?" Is there going to be a war? Are you stocking up on grain? Tang Xu was startled, they had just arrived here, and if they were going to leave, they would not be able to carry it for fear that people and horses would not be able to carry it.

"Open the door!" The man didn't have time to reply to him, and there was a sudden commotion around him, Tang Xu was pushed into the store, if he didn't just hold on to a table, he would have been squeezed down. It took Tang Xu a long time to get up, and saw that everyone was rushing to the counter, and there were children who were crying.

"Are you all stunned? It's scary too. Tang Xu didn't want to buy anything, so he shrank to the side. No one noticed him, crazy like rushing to buy white noodles. Tang Xu glanced at the number plate hanging on the counter, it was indeed much cheaper than outside, no wonder he grabbed it so much. But there is no treachery, what is the owner of this store trying to do?

Tang Xu thought to himself, could it be that it was about to expire? I couldn't help but lean over to take a look, and I reached out and grabbed a handful from the huge noodle bag while people were not paying attention, took a look, smelled it, it was good, and I was even more suspicious in my heart, thinking that there was something famous in it. Tang Xu retreated to the side while thinking about it, afraid that he would be squeezed down by the crazy robbers again.

"Stop! Stop it! At this time, an old lady was helped into the house, and the men at the counter did not dare to move anymore, and the people who were crazy about robbing were also blocked.

"This loser! Take the honor plate off for me! The old lady was so angry that she beat her chest and coughed. Ding Lisuo, who came in with him, took off the name plate, and the people who rushed to buy it did not know why, and looked at each other.

"Close the door, it's not for sale today." The old lady finally stopped a little, and hurriedly asked people to close the door, and the people who bought things were all kicked out of the store by pushing and squeezing, and the old lady ignored everyone's complaints and complaints, and closed the door. Tang Xu kept an eye on it, and hid under a large wooden table covered with a tablecloth, wanting to see what ghosts were in it.

"Have they all been driven away?" The old lady sat tremblingly at the big wooden table, and Tang Xu held his breath and did not dare to move.

"It's all gone, and you must be angry." A middle-aged man walked up to the old lady and said.

"Go get me that loser!" The old lady was still angry, and still coughed a little.

"Yes." The middle-aged man said and withdrew. Tang Xu had been hiding under the table for a long time, his waist was sore, and he didn't dare to act rashly, he was like a year, he regretted that he was so reckless.

"Is anyone coming?" After a while, there was a sound of footsteps approaching, and the old lady asked again.

"Grandpa, my grandson knows it's wrong!" A young man's voice rang out in a hurry, and then plopped, as if on his knees. Tang Xu secretly lifted the corner of the tablecloth, and only saw below the thigh, but it sounded like it should be the small boss of this store.

"Loser! Our old He family has been outside the customs for more than 20 years, and we have been doing business honestly, but I didn't expect to lose in the hands of you, an unfilial son, today! The old lady's crutches pounded the ground, and the dust raised made Tang Xu almost cough several times.

"Grandpa! You are angry! Be careful! The little boss knelt down and took a few steps forward.

"My old bones are still scattered! Save me from being angry with you like this! I'm sorry for my ancestors! Old lady He has been unable to calm down, and the people around her have also come up to comfort.

"Grandpa, my grandson is really wrong, my grandson won't dare anymore, you can spare me this time." The little boss kowtowed to the ground again, Tang Xu was shocked when he heard the voice, if he continued like this, he was afraid that he would die. Sure enough, the people next to him hurriedly helped, saying that the He family was such a lone seedling, but they couldn't help it.

"Hey. . . That's it! Old Mrs. He also felt sorry for her grandson, and she was a little soft-hearted when she saw him so desperate. The little boss didn't dare to get up, until Mrs. He asked someone to help him, and then he got up from the ground tremblingly and stood aside.

"You are the only seedling of my old He family, it is really in my hands, and I will not be able to explain to my ancestors and ancestors in the future, but from today on, you are no longer allowed to take care of business matters, and everything will be handled by Steward Li." Old lady He showed mercy and finally let go of the little boss.

"Yes." The middle-aged man agreed just now, and Tang Xu thought that this was probably Steward Li.

"Grandpa, I..." The little boss seemed to want to argue about something, and refused to just step down.

"If you dare to use your brains again, don't blame me for not being emotional! Shut him up in my room, and no one will let him out without my command!" "Old lady He, who has just subsided a little bit of anger, will come out again

"And! He is not allowed to associate with those messy people anymore, and if someone is accommodating for him, the family law will deal with it! Then the old lady reprimanded the little boss again and drove him away.

"The old lady is angry, the little master is also young and ignorant, more discipline and discipline is, don't be angry with your body." Steward Li said.

"Hey, what a sin, he has no parents since he was a child, I love him in every way, I didn't expect it. Ay.. Old lady He choked up a little. The old tears were all over the place, making people look worried, Steward Li hurriedly came to persuade again, and it took a while for the old lady He to calm down, and then let the old lady go back to the room to rest, and after a burst of footsteps, the house was quiet.

Tang Xu couldn't help but have a sore back, opened the tablecloth and looked out, and sure enough, there was no one, so he carefully drilled out, and hurriedly moved his legs and feet that were so sore. After his body was comfortable, Tang Xu remembered their conversation just now, could it be that the little boss gambled? So sell the goods in the store cheaply? Tang Xu couldn't figure it out, and he didn't want to just forget it. He found a small door behind the counter and slipped inside, and inside was a mountain of bags of noodles.

"So much, even if you sell it cheaply, you can sell it for a lot of money." Tang Xu bypassed the flour pile, and saw that there was a door at the back, which should be used to load and unload goods, he walked over and pushed it, but there was no lock, Tang Xu was secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly walked out from here. Unexpectedly, there was no hole outside the small door, Tang Xu entered a small courtyard with a compact pattern, and it was cleaned very cleanly, and there would be no one. The courtyard is quite Han characteristics, the family really moved from the Central Plains, Tang Xu has been particularly interested in the deep-walled compound since he was a child, and he feels particularly secure living in it. Although this courtyard is not very large, it is not small, and it seems that it is more than enough for a dozen or twenty people.

"Who's out there?" Tang Xu saw that there was no one around, so he walked around relaxedly, but this would attract the attention of others, so he hurriedly found a place to hide.

"Don't hide, I see you." The owner of the voice didn't seem to treat Tang Xu as a thief. Tang Xu saw that he was recognized, so he had to take the initiative to come to the center of the courtyard and stand. trespassing on private houses, I don't know if I will be arrested in the government.

"Who are you?" Someone came out of the room opposite Tang Xu, and it was the little boss who looked at the pants. Tang Xu saw his appearance clearly for the first time, he was very handsome, and he was dressed well, but he was too thin, and the dark circles under his eyes that couldn't be covered seemed to come out of staying up late all year round.

"I'm here to buy noodles." Tang Xu had an idea, thinking that this person must be in a hurry to sell things, no matter what the reason, at least he would not drive the buyer out like his grandfather.

"Hey. . . You go back, don't sell it. Hearing Tang Xu say that he was here to buy noodles, the little boss's eyes lit up first, and then dimmed, and he waved at Tang Xu and asked him to go back.

"Sold out?" Tang Xu pretended to be stupid.

"That's not true, if you want to buy noodles, go to Steward Li." The little boss said that he was going to lower the curtain. Tang Xu was anxious, he didn't want to run in vain, so he asked the past, are you short of money? As soon as these words came out, Tang Xu was a little annoyed, but the little boss's hand stopped in mid-air. As soon as Tang Xu saw that there was a door, he took a few steps forward.

"You come in." The little boss hesitated for a long time, and finally let Tang Xu into the house, and when Tang Xu entered the house, the little boss quickly closed the door, as if there was something terrible hidden in the house.
