"Steward Xu, here!" As soon as the two of them entered the teahouse, they heard someone shouting at the table on the right side of the hall next to the staircase. Zhou Chong turned his head to look when he heard the sound, and found that the butcher Wu was indeed a strong man with a height of nine feet as described by Steward Xu, and from the appearance, it was absolutely impossible to believe that he was only in his early twenties, and even in Zhou Chong's opinion, some people believed that the other party was thirty years old.

"This must be Gongzi Zhou, Wu Shan is polite!" Seeing Zhou Zhong and Steward Xu coming to the front, Butcher Wu bowed to Zhou Chong, and Butler Xu knew for the first time that Butcher Wu's name was Wu Shan.

"Brother Wu doesn't have to be polite, let's sit down and talk!" Zhou Zhong didn't have the consciousness of a scholar at all, and he called a butcher a brother and brother when he opened his mouth, which made Wu butcher flattered, and hurriedly asked the two to sit down, and then he called the guy over and asked for a pot of good tea and a few snacks.

"Gongzi Zhou, presumably I want to rent a house, Steward Xu has already told you, don't worry, the slaughter will never be placed in your house, I will only use the rented yard to live and store some meat, and it will definitely not dirty your yard!" Butcher Wu also knew that his profession was taboo, so he reassured Zhou Zhong at the beginning.

When Zhou Zhong heard this, he also said very happily: "Since Brother Wu said so, then I don't have any opinion, so let's do it, a set of yards will be rented for half a year at the shortest, and the rent will be attached to three mortgages, and the monthly rent will be two dollars of silver, if you agree, let's go to the yard now, and then draw up a document to give things down!" ”

"No problem, you don't have to look at the yard or something, I used to pass by from Zhou's mansion, and the yard in Zhilu Road must be no worse, let's make a document now, I also have silver on me, I will move to the yard tonight, so that I don't have to run so far in the cold tomorrow!" The young Wu Shan is also a fiery character, and when he saw Zhou Chong's agreement, he actually planned to move in tonight.

Zhou Zhong also likes to deal with cheerful people like Wu Shan the most, so he borrowed pen and ink from the teahouse, and then took up the pen to write down a document. It's also interesting to say, although the current Zhou Chong did not inherit the original Zhou Chong's literary talent, but maybe it is the instinctive reaction of this body, Zhou Chong is now writing a good calligraphy, the conversion of simplified and traditional Chinese is also very natural, simple Chinese can also be written and read, but he still can't understand some of the more obscure words in the books.

After Zhou Chong wrote the document, he wanted to read it to Wu Shan, but he didn't expect the other party to be coarse in writing and ink, so he picked up the document and read it again, Zhou Chong wrote it in the vernacular, so he also understood it. Butcher Wu didn't have any opinion on the paperwork, so he signed his name at the moment, and the business was completed.

After signing, Wu Shan took out one or two taels of silver and gave it to Zhou Chong, and then hurriedly took his leave and left, because he had to rush outside the city to kill the two pigs he received, and then transport the pork to the city, otherwise he could only wait until tomorrow morning to enter the city when the city gate was closed in the evening. Zhou Zhong did not hold back on this, and personally got up to see Wu Shan leave. Of course, Wu Shan didn't forget to settle the account before leaving.

Just when Zhou Chong returned to his seat, ready to go back after eating the rest of the tea and pastries with Steward Xu, he suddenly heard someone behind him say in a somewhat mocking tone: "Yo~, I didn't expect that Young Master Zhou would have the leisure to drink tea in Fengyou Building, it seems that although your Zhou family is dilapidated, Zhou Dashao's life is still good?" ”

Hearing this somewhat familiar voice, Zhou Zhong turned his head to look, and found that the second young master Song he had seen before was standing on the stairs behind him, looking at himself with a mocking face, and on the stairs in front of him, there were two young girls, among which the one behind was dressed as a maid, wearing a small blue brocade padded jacket, with a playful and lovely appearance.

The girl in front of her is wearing a fiery red fox fur coat, with a girl's bun on her hair, a goose egg face, a small nose and apricot eyes, and slender willow eyebrows into the sideburns. However, the expression on the face of this beautiful girl seemed to be smiling, and there was a bit of curiosity and pity in her eyes when she looked at Zhou Chong, and it seemed that she should also know the identity of Zhou Chong.

Seeing that it was the second young master Song who laughed at him who had withdrawn the bracelet's marriage, Zhou Chong was also angry, and immediately glared at the other party, then hugged his hands in front of his chest, and replied with a ruffian face: "Who did I think, it turned out to be the second young master Song who lost to me in the Yichun Building last time, you won't still be thinking about that Chunhong girl now, right?" It's a pity that the falling flowers deliberately follow the flowing water, but the flowing water has no intention of falling in love with the falling flowers, that Miss Chunhong will never fall in love with the second ancestor like you! ”

If Zhou Chong didn't guess wrong, the beautiful girl in front of Second Young Master Song should be the daughter of the legendary wealthy merchant in Huating County, and the Song family is actively marrying each other. Zhilu said this, and he understood why Zhou Zhong said the above inexplicable words, in front of a man's sweetheart, talking to the other party about the jealousy in the Qinglou, what could be more disgusting than this kind of thing?

Second Young Master Song was first confused, then shocked, and then angry, and pointed at Zhou Da with a red white face and shouted: "Zhou Chong, don't spew blood, when did I fight with you in the Yichun Building?" ”

At this time, the people in the teahouse also noticed that Zhou Chong and Second Young Master Song had quarreled, and many people in the hall stopped chatting and began to laugh and watch the excitement, especially when they saw that there was a beautiful girl on the stairs, it aroused the interest of many people, and a few of them recognized the identities of Zhou Chong and Second Young Master Song, but they didn't know that the Song family had withdrawn from the marriage, but this also aroused the curiosity of many people, and they speculated about the cause of the quarrel between the two in the rest.

"Isn't it the Chunhong girl? That seems to be my mistake! Zhou Chong looked surprised, it looked like he really remembered it wrongly, but before Second Young Master Song could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw Zhou Chong continue, "If it's not Chunhong girl, then it should be Qing'er girl, or Yueyue, I remember you said that you like the pair of three-inch golden lotus of Yueyue girl the most!" ”

When Zhou Zhong said the words "three-inch golden lotus" at the end of the year, his eyes deliberately glanced at the girl in fur in front of the second young master of Song, although the other party was wearing a long skirt, but from the movement just now, he found that this girl was beautiful, but there was no foot binding, which was obviously not in line with the aesthetics of men in the Ming Dynasty, so he deliberately added a pair of three-inch golden lotus to the Yueyue girl that he made up randomly, so as to provoke the relationship between the second young master of Song and the girl again.

Sure enough, when Second Young Master Song heard Zhou Chong's words, his angry face turned green, and now he didn't care about arguing with Zhou Chong, and he was anxious to explain to the girl next to him, but he didn't know how to explain it.

In comparison, the girl who was implicated by Second Young Master Song has always seemed very calm, especially when she saw that Zhou Chong only used a few words, she forced Second Young Master Song into such a predicament, which made her attitude towards Zhou Chong change, the pity in her eyes had disappeared, and was replaced by a stronger curiosity, and even looked Zhou Chong up and down a few times without concealment, as if she had found something very interesting.

Zhou Zhong didn't care much at first, but soon he was looked at by the girl's gaze. But at this moment, I saw this beautiful girl suddenly smile, like a touch of sunshine spreading in winter, illuminating the entire teahouse, and at the same time attracting the eyes of most people in the teahouse to her, many people began to guess the identity of this girl.

"Zhou Gongzi has a good mouth and a deep scheming, the little woman has seen it today!" I saw the girl in fur smile lightly, and it seemed that she was not angry at all about what Zhou Chong said just now, which made Zhou Chong also feel a pang in his heart, and said that the other party was so deep in the city, and the second young master Song next to him was not even worthy of lifting shoes compared to others.

After the girl in fur said the above words, she did not go upstairs immediately, but looked at Zhou Zhong deeply again, and then spoke again: "The so-called meeting is fate, since Young Master Zhou and Second Young Master Song are old acquaintances, but there were some misunderstandings before, it is better for Zhou Gongzi's tea to be invited by the little woman, and I hope that Zhou Gongzi has a lot of them, and you must not arrange some more rights and wrongs, not only ruining the reputation of others, but also staining your own identity!" ”

After the girl in fur finished speaking, she showed an indifferent smile to Zhou Chong, and then turned around and went upstairs. And Zhou Chong was sluggish, he didn't expect that the trick he had finally set for Second Young Master Song would be broken by a little woman in just a few words, and he also ridiculed him for arranging right and wrong, which really surprised Zhou Chong, and he didn't react for a long time.

Although the second young master Song was scratched by Zhou Chong's ears, he was not a fool, and naturally he heard that the girl was angry for herself, and she was even more overjoyed at the moment, and showed a smug smile at Zhou Chong and said: "Lingyun is right, a loser is a loser, this young master will not be angry with people like you, and I invited you to this tea master, lest you be kicked out of the store without tea to pay!" Hahaha~"

After the second young master Song finished speaking, he was probably afraid that Zhou Chong would sneer at him again, so he let out a burst of wild laughter, and then ran upstairs without looking back, not giving Zhou Chong a chance to speak at all. And the people who watched the excitement around saw that the quarreling party went upstairs, and this one naturally couldn't quarrel, so they all sat back in their places in disappointment and continued to drink tea.

"It turns out that your little girl's name is Lingyun, and this young master has written it down!" Zhou Zhong said with some hatred, but then he suddenly showed a somewhat dirty smile and whispered to himself, "Don't think that this will stump Young Master Ben, today buddy will let you see what true shamelessness is?" ”
