Chapter 44: Bribing the County Lord
Coming out of the chūn Yan Building, Song Kai had a somewhat relaxed expression on his face.
On the one hand, after Qiuyue's name sounded, she could help herself to promote the inn's tea, and on the other hand, the old bustard of Chūn Yanlou also agreed, as long as Song Kai could help Qiuyue win the Oiran, she agreed to cooperate with Hongchen Inn to perform for free four times a month in Hongchen Inn Inn for free, and if you need to add more performances, you need to charge extra.
Song Kai rode on the horse, thinking about the next step, what if the others didn't appreciate the water tune song and couldn't get the Oiran?
Well, it is best to directly promote the good of your tea at the Mid-Autumn Festival, as long as those literati recognize their tea, they will come to Hongchen Inn to drink tea, which will naturally improve the reputation of Hongchen Inn Store.
If you can get the opportunity to offer tea for the Mid-Autumn Festival, it's good, well.
Thinking like this, Song Kai had a plan and rode back towards the inn.
Not long after Song Kai left, three figures appeared near the Chūn Yan Building, led by Yang Huaiyan.
Yang Huaiyan looked up at the name of the chūn Yan Building, then sneered, and said to himself: "This Song Kai has quite an idea, and he also wants to win over the Oiran in advance and promote his inn, but this year's Oiran will definitely not fall in this Chūn Yan Building." Let's go to Dream Fairy Garden. ”
Song Kai returned to the inn, and first looked into the inn, Sun Ximei and the others were not there, and these people seemed to have not been here for a long time.
"Song Kai!" Nie Ling beckoned to Song.
"How?" Song Kai walked over.
Nie Ling pointed to the backyard and said, "I've recently thought about tidying up the rooms behind the inn a little, and then we can let people stay, this is a deal without capital, and it's a pity that those rooms are empty, what do you think?" ”
Song Kai immediately shook his head and said: "Forget it, it's only a few hundred dollars a night, it's too little, and it's very troublesome to take care of the guests, let's not worry, I already have a way to make the inn's business better, don't be impatient." ”
"Alright then," Nie Ling nodded, and then played there with a thin Go game.
"You want to learn Go?" Song Kai was surprised.
"I'm just going to see, it's too troublesome, business hasn't been good lately, I have to find something to do, I think about putting Go on the desk, so that when customers are not eating, they can sit in the store and play Go, which is also a means to attract customers," Nie Ling muttered.
Song Kai looked at Nie Ling in surprise.
"Why do you look at me like that!" Nie Ling glared at Song Kai.
Song Kai found that Nie Ling's nose was very small and cute, so he stretched out his hand, pinched it, and exclaimed, "You are really a good material for business." ”
"Look for death!" Nie Ling slapped Song Kai's hand away, she didn't need to put on a plaster today, although she was still dressed as a man, she was really good-looking.
"Hehe, that's it," Song Kai laughed.
"But Go is too complicated and brain-consuming, so I'm afraid not many people can play it," Nie Ling sighed as he closed the Go handout.
"Then we can invent a few simple chess games, chess, backgammon, oh, mahjong is more exciting! Hahahaha! But is that a casino, whatever," Song Kai laughed, and a string of nouns that Nie Ling couldn't understand came out of his mouth.
However, Nie Ling was already very calm, and she asked, "What kind of chess, mahjong, what is it?" ”
"I'll teach you at night," Song Kai reached out again and patted Nie Ling's head, "Lord Ling, yes, I decided to give you a higher salary." ”
"Looking for a fight!" Nie Lingdang saw Song Kai touching his head again, and couldn't help but open his teeth and claws.
Song Kai laughed, dodged and rode away again, running straight back to Chūn Hall.
When I arrived at the Hui Chūn Hall, there were not as many patients as before, but the shop was also busy.
Song Kai got off the horse, went to the store, and found Sun Ximei.
Sun Ximei was looking through a broken medical book, and when she saw Song Kai, she stood up and nodded at Song Kai: "What's wrong?" ”
"I see that you haven't been going to Hongchen Inn recently, don't you miss you," Song Kai laughed.
Sun Ximei wrinkled her nose and said, "Okay, I heard that your childhood sweetheart's wife disappeared?" ”
Song Kai was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he had been saying that Sun Ximei was his wife, and everything he had done before was also because of his affection for Liu Yuchan.
Nodding, Song Kai sighed and said: "Hey, it's not peaceful now, Yang Huaiyan's power is too great, and he has to avoid the limelight, no, he just drove away Shopkeeper Liu and Jade Cicada, and now he has started to do it to my inn again, spreading rumors that my inn is not fresh, and people have died, and he has also stolen the menu in my inn and distributed it to other restaurants, in short...... Forget it, I'm here to find Li Menghan, Sun Niangzi, do you know where to find her? ”
Sun Ximei nodded and said, "I'm also planning to go over, let's go together, at this time, she must be locked up at home." ”
The two of them went back to the chūn hall, and Sun Ximei asked Song Kai's horse to be led into the medical hall, and then got into the carriage together and walked down an alley.
Inside the carriage, Song Kai looked at the decorations inside, and said with a smile: "This is the first time I have taken a carriage, but it is really uncomfortable." ”
Sun Ximei glanced at Song Kai, "This carriage is already superior." ”
Song Kai wanted to open the window of the carriage.
"Don't open it," Sun Ximei stopped with a voice, and then blushed, "After all, this is a carriage, and it's not good for others to see me sharing a car with you." ”
"Oh," Song Kai understood.
For about half an hour, the carriage slowed down, and then zigzagged into an alley.
Sun Ximei opened the window, looked at it, and said, "It's here." ”
Song Kai also looked outside, only to see the carriage enter a small door, and then roll on the bluestone slab.
After walking for more than three hundred meters, the carriage stopped, and Song Kai and Sun Ximei got out of the carriage.
"Damn, this is the Princess's Mansion?" Song Kai looked around, where is this place to live, this is clearly a huge garden.
"This is the back garden, and going forward is where Menghan stays and studies," Sun Ximei pointed to the front.
There are lakes, bamboo forests, flower beds, rockeries around, and lofts standing in the distance, which is very large.
It is no wonder that the Suzhou gardens in later generations are the best in the world, and it seems that these Suzhou people have been popular in building gardens since the Tang Dynasty.
As he walked forward, several figures appeared in the distance, two of them, Song Kai happened to know each other, it was Xue Weihai and Sun Tang. Several people walked slowly, as if they were talking something, and the leader was a woman in a black robe, although she couldn't see her face clearly, she could see her beautiful figure.
"Huh? Your grandfather? He's here too? Song Kai pointed into the distance.
"Don't look, that's their adult's business," Sun Ximei pulled Song Kai and turned into a courtyard.
There are waterwheels, streams, and an arrow target in the yard, and the rows of houses are very magnificent.
Song happily sighed, this is the life of a rich person, his own rì, compared with these people, he is not even a fart.
The two maids stopped Song Kai and Sun Ximei.
"Sun Niangzi, who is this? We young ladies can't see messy men," said a maid in a bad tone.
"Shut up!" Sun Ximei frowned, "How can you speak!" Where is Menghan, let her come out. ”
The maid took a step back in cringe, and the other maid had already run over.
It didn't take long for a girl in a floral skirt to run out, it was Li Menghan.
When Li Menghan approached, he saw that it was Sun Ximei and Song Kai, and his round face was full of surprise, "Huh? Song Kai, why are you here? ”
"I don't ask you to do something," Song said with a smile.
Li Menghan laughed, "My face is really big enough." ”
As they spoke, the three of them walked to Li Menghan's room.
"Miss!"
The maid from before stopped Li Menghan, "Miss, he's ...... He's a man. ”
"Of course he's a man! He is still the most infatuated man! Li Menghan raised his hand to stop it, pouted and hummed, and then pulled Song Kai and Sun Ximei into the room.
"But Miss ......"
The maid stopped halfway through speaking, as if no one had paid any attention to it.
In the room, Li Menghan beckoned Song Kai and Sun Ximei to sit.
Song Kai looked at the room and said with a smile: "What are you doing at home?" ”
When Li Menghan heard this, her round little face immediately cried aggrievedly, "My father is unreasonable, he must complete his homework before he can go out, hey, I really envy you, Sister Ximei, you don't have to do your homework." ”
Song Kai and Sun Ximei laughed at the same time.
"Song Kai, what are you looking for me," Li Menghan asked.
"Oh, it's an inn thing, look, this is the new tea in my store, this is the only one, how about you taste this tea first, I'll not be too late." Song Kai said, taking out a bag of tea.
Li Menghan and Sun Ximei soaked it, tasted it, nodded their heads one after another, and said that it was good, it was neither as messy as tea soup, nor as bitter as white tea, and it was refreshing and refreshing, which was indeed very good.
"I want you to recommend it, how about using my tea as the only special tea at the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Meeting?" Song Kai asked.
"The only tea only?" Li Menghan and Sun Ximei asked rhetorically at the same time.
"yes, what's the problem? This tea, but only my Hongchen inn sells, when the time comes, at the conference, after everyone tastes it, if you think it's good, you will naturally go to my inn to drink tea and chat in the future," Song laughed.
Sun Ximei and Li Menghan understood at the same time and nodded, this marketing method is indeed very creative.
"You want me to talk to my father?" Li Menghan asked.
"Of course, and, hehe, if it's convenient, let your father give all the ratings to the Qiuyue girl from Chūn, she's the agent of our inn, hehe, this is called a bribe." Song Kai laughed.
"You're so straightforward," Li Menghan stood up, "but I like it." If you want me to do something for you, you will naturally have to bribe me, so send me a poem, and it is a poem about the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will send the tea to my father first, and there are a few distinguished guests. ”
After speaking, Li Menghan took the tea and left.
