Chapter 50: Birthday
Since he sold Fang Zi to the shopkeeper Fang, Tang Xu has been a little unrefreshed about eating mutton skewers, and always thinks that he has already sold it and then gets it, just like taking advantage of others, although this idea is very meaningless, but it affects his mood very much. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info he wanted to return the money to the shopkeeper Fang, otherwise he would not be able to eat happily anymore. But when Tang Xu found the Xiyingmen Inn where the shopkeeper was located, he was startled, there was a long queue at the door, the smoke curling in the backyard, the air was filled with a strong aroma of barbecue, and from time to time there were delivery workers coming in and out from the side door.
"It's amazing to be a businessman." Tang Xu didn't expect that it had only been a few days, and the shopkeeper Fang had really sold the mutton skewers, and the business was still so hot. Hey, since everyone has started work, it's not easy to mention the matter of returning the money, Tang Xu smelled a little greedy, but he had to spend money to buy it and felt panicked, and after wandering at the door for a while, he decided to go back.
"Doctor Tang!" As soon as he turned around to leave, Tang Xu heard someone calling him, and when he looked back, who was it not the shopkeeper Fang?
"Coincidentally, I was about to go to you, so you came in person, please come with me." Shopkeeper Fang warmly beckoned Tang Xu to go in with him.
"Shopkeeper Fang, do you have anything to do with me?" Tang Xu thinks that the business is so good now, it is probably impossible to cancel the cooperation, is it regretting giving himself so many points? It's okay, if you can take less money, you will lose less snacks.
"It's not a big deal, I've been too busy these days, I haven't had time to go to the house to thank you, and I hope Dr. Tang will forgive me." Shopkeeper Fang took out a money bag and respectfully placed it in front of Tang Xu. Tang Xu didn't know why, and the shopkeeper Fang smiled and said that it was the income of the past few days.
"So many?" Tang Xu put the money bag in his palm and weighed it, to say the least, it was enough for him to eat mutton skewers for three months.
"This is just the beginning, and it will be later..." Shopkeeper Fang smiled, both eyes glowing.
"Then congratulations to Shopkeeper Fang." Tang Xu laughed dryly, and the mutton skewers were getting farther and farther away from him. The shopkeeper Fang didn't feel any difference, and said with a smile that he was happy and happy.
When Tang Xu was leaving, the shopkeeper Fang also asked him if he could write a signboard when he was free, if he opened a franchised shop in the future, it would be better to hang it up, and with Tang Xu's name, business would only get better and better, and Tang Xu had no choice but to get down.
From that day on, the shopkeeper Fang really came to send a share every half a month, and the amount was only a lot more, Tang Xu took the landless flowers, so he asked Lan Jun to buy medicinal materials, and the life was clean, and after a long time, the matter of mutton skewers was not thought about.
In the past month, it was almost the end of summer, Xu Shijie came a few times, sent some autumn clothes to Tang Xu, and said that it is not easy to buy good clothes now, these are all hand-woven by his daughter-in-law, and they are soft to wear.
"Why can't you buy clothes? Aren't there several cloth shops in the city, all closed? Tang Xu asked.
"Engong was no longer here in previous years, so I don't know. Princess Xihe's birthday is approaching, and the cloth shops in the city are rushing to make the fabrics for the princess's mansion, and the good materials will naturally not be sold. Xu Shijie said.
"Can you use so much material for a person's birthday?" Tang Xuqi said. Xu Shijie explained to him that although it was only the princess's birthday, the princess's mansion had to be renewed inside and out, and the amount of wearing by so many family servants naturally could not be small.
"It's magnificent." Tang Xu tsk. Xu Shijie left after sending the clothes, Tang Xu asked Lan Jun to go out for a walk, saying that at this time, the jujube came out and went to buy some and came back to eat.
The two of them walked past the inn with the smell of mutton skewers at the shopkeeper's house, and arrived at the door of a cloth village in a few steps. It seems that Xu Shijie is not wrong, the boss who sells cloth is busy with the business of the princess's mansion.
"The pomp is big enough, there are a few more princesses to celebrate their birthdays, and the people in this city can't wear clothes." Tang Xu pouted.
"That's not the case, the business of the princess's mansion is important, but if the princess likes the material, it will be a living signboard, and the business in the coming year will not have to worry." Lan Jun smiled.
"Tsk, there's also a star effect." Tang Xu felt that what Lan Jun said was very reasonable. Lan Jun didn't understand, so he didn't talk again, and the two continued to walk to a jewelry store.
"That's the maid of the princess's mansion." Lan Jun looked at a girl in the store who was talking to the shopkeeper and said that the clothes were the clothes of the princess's mansion.
"Let's go in and have a look." Lan Jun walked in front, Tang Xu followed and also entered the store, the boss and the guys were all greeting the people from the princess's mansion, Tang Xu and they were comfortable to take a look. I thought that Lan Jun's target was the little maid in the princess's mansion, but later I found that he really seemed to be just strolling around, but Tang Xu focused on the girl, his eyes looked around, but his ears were pricked up to listen carefully.
"Shopkeeper, you can find someone to design those few things, and just type out the selected materials. Only this one, the pattern and color and materials must be in accordance with me, and they can't be any worse. The little girl said, and the shopkeeper quickly nodded and agreed. Tang Xu secretly turned to the other side and tried his best to look in the direction of the two of them, but he was too far away, and he only saw a piece of manuscript paper on the table, and he couldn't see what was on it.
"You have to be careful, if you delay a big thing, be careful of your head." The little girl is not very old, her tone is quite big, and the shopkeeper is still busy agreeing, and finally sends the little girl out with a waist. When he returned, he wiped his sweat profusely, and sat down at the table he had just sat down, staring at the manuscript paper, his brow furrowed.
"Shopkeeper, is this thing difficult?" A shrewd fellow next to him went over to talk to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper was speechless and sighed.
"This..." The guy picked up the manuscript paper and looked at it, his tone surprised.
"It's not." The golden hairpin and jade bead curtain, the guy's eyes widened.
"Is Xihe going to get married?" The guy couldn't help but be surprised, the shopkeeper was busy drinking him, and the two of them entered the back room with their front and back feet, leaving Tang Xu there in a daze.
Is Xihe going to get married? Is the dowry drawn on the manuscript paper? Tang Xu didn't know if the princess was engaged, and he had no way of knowing, but he inexplicably felt that this thing came suddenly and strangely. He subconsciously looked at Lan Jun, who was still walking around casually, looking as usual, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Tang Xu, who returned home, couldn't let go of what the guy in the jewelry store said, and was nervous for no reason, wanting to ask Lan Jun if he had heard what the man said, but worried that if he really didn't hear it, he would reveal his stuffing when he asked like this. Lan Jun said that he didn't care, but everything was written on his face.
After thinking about it, Tang Xu decided to go to Wang Dali to ask, he lied to Lan Jun and said that he was going to buy some fruit on the street, and after going out, he went straight to Wang Dali's residence. The servants who guarded the door all knew Tang Xu and didn't stop him, but the master was not at home, so if he wasn't in a hurry, he would go inside to drink tea and wait. Tang Xu waited for almost 2 hours, seeing that it was getting dark, and was about to go back, Wang Dali happened to come back.
"Boss, you've been waiting for a long time, is there anything you can do with me?" As soon as Wang Dali came back, he heard from the servant that Dr. Tang had been waiting for a long time, so he hurriedly walked into the house to see Tang Xu.
"When is Princess Xihe's birthday?" Tang Xu wanted to make a detour.
"On the twenty-eighth of this month, the owner, what are you asking for?" Wang Dali looked at Tang Xu strangely, he didn't know what was wrong, Tang Xu felt that there was weirdness in his eyes.
"Are you married to the princess?" Winding around the bend is not Tang Xu's specialty, so he asked directly after holding it for a long time.
"I haven't heard of it." Wang Dali replied.
"Yes." Tang Xu was speechless for a while.
"What's wrong with you, boss?" Wang Dali wondered when Tang Xu was so interested in Princess Xi and He.
"Princess Xihe." Tang Xu didn't know what to say next, so he chattered back and forth with the princess several times.
"The owner, isn't it interested in the princess?" Wang Dali was even more curious, and asked cautiously.
"Am I intended? I wanted to ask if you were interesting to people. Tang Xu almost didn't squirt out a sip of tea.
"Where do you start?" Wang Dali was shocked.
"Really?" Tang Xu simply asked to understand, saving himself from pondering.
"Not really." Wang Dali is colorful.
"Okay, I'm just asking casually, don't take it to heart." Tang Xu also wanted to ask him if he meant anything to Lan Jun, but he really couldn't ask about it. He sat at Wang Dali's place for a while and then went back, but Wang Dali didn't agree to stay with him for dinner.
Since Wang Dali is not interested in the princess, then marrying or something, probably has nothing to do with him, Tang Xu let go of half of his heart, and walked home briskly, but he didn't see Lan Jun after he got home.
"Where can he go on the big night?" Tang Xu became nervous, and asked the neighbors left and right, but they all said that they didn't know. The previous incident of Lan Jun's abduction is still fresh in my memory, could it be that another enemy has come to the door?
Tang Xu went to Wang Dali's residence and wanted him to go with him to find it, but the servant said that Wang Dali received an order and went back to the princess's mansion. Without helpers, Tang Xu could only find it by himself, he ran all over the surrounding restaurants, pharmacies and grocery stores, and said that he didn't see it. Just when he was running out of ideas, a husband passed by and said that he saw Brother Lan who seemed to be heading south. Tang Xu immediately looked for it to the south, and the more he walked, the more wrong it became.
The big red lanterns in his eyes were hung high, Tang Xu shuddered, this is the red light district, Lan Jun will be here? No way. Just wanted to go back, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure, it was really a bit like Lan Jun, only to see that the figure shook at the door of a house and disappeared, although Tang Xu felt that he was dazzled, but he couldn't help but follow and look, and when he got closer, it was also a brothel.
"Xiaoxiang Pavilion." Tang Xu was dumbfounded, if Sister Lin knew that these three words were used here, I was afraid that she would be angry. Tang Xu glanced inside, he didn't really want to go in, he had never been to a bar for so long, this kind of place made him feel panicked.
"Oops! Isn't this Dr. Tang, what kind of wind blew you here? When Tang Xu turned around, his arm was grabbed by someone, which made his scalp tingle for a while.
