Chapter 2 The innkeeper
In fact, the communication was not too smooth, and it was easy to say in terms of language, although Song Kai was not from this era, he was still very proficient in Suzhou dialect, and Nie Lingzhong opened his mouth with a bit of an official tone, and he didn't seem to be a native of Suzhou.
Oh, Nie Ling is the county lord of the Holy City in front of him, who is disguised as a man.
The point is, a lot of information doesn't match.
For example, in this era, it is obviously the Tang Dynasty, but it is very different from the Tang Dynasty learned in history textbooks.
This Tang Dynasty is still the world of the Li family, there is still the rule of Zhenguan, there is still Wu Zetian seizing power, and there is also the Anshi Rebellion, but the Anshi Rebellion of the pit father lasted only a year, and it was beaten by the troops of the Tang Dynasty.
According to what is written in the history books, the Anshi Rebellion was a turning point in the Tang Dynasty, and the eight-year Anshi Rebellion made the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline, and the people were not able to make a living.
But now, the Anshi Rebellion lasted only one year, although the economic situation of the Tang Dynasty was persecuted, but it did not shake the foundation, and after the Yuan and Zhongxing, the economy was not defeated during the Xiantong period, as for which emperor was in power, Nie Lingzhong did not know.
According to history, not many years later, the Tang Dynasty will fall and enter a dark and chaotic period in history, with five dynasties and ten kingdoms.
But now, Song Kai is not easy to guess about the specific situation of the Tang Dynasty, and Nie Lingdang naturally doesn't know.
Song Kai sighed, in fact, he didn't particularly care about whether it was the previous Tang Dynasty, no matter what he did, although he had crossed over and been reborn, Song Kai had never thought about going over to dominate the world.
It's just that, no matter what, Song is still a little happy in his heart, since he can be reborn after death, then, maybe his new wife has now been reborn to a certain era and a certain place, no matter where she is reborn, I hope that in this life, she can be peaceful, happy, and happy.
Nie Ling looked at the inn, there was a two-story restaurant in front, and behind the restaurant seemed to be an inn for accommodation, but at this moment, the corridor connecting the front store and the back store was full of sundries, tables and chairs, brooms, wine jars, and two large iron pots.
"What's going on with this store?" Nie Ling opened his mouth to ask, "It's so broken, it's like being robbed." ”
Song Kai shook his head, in fact, he also wanted to figure it out.
"Wow"
There was another chaotic sound of footsteps.
Nie Ling was startled, her body shrank numbly, and she hid behind the counter again, and then she stared at Song Kai fiercely, for fear that Song Kai would let herself squat in his crotch again.
It's a shame!
Shame on the dead!
It's even more humiliating than being captured and being a slave!
Nie Ling thought in her heart that if Song Kai did this again, she would definitely let this man "break his eggs to the ground".
"You're not going to die! See! Your stupid master, aren't you standing there in a good manner! There was a shouting and scolding at the door, and then there was a "click", and an old man rolled through the door into the store.
Song Kai looked at the scene in front of him and didn't speak, the key was that he couldn't understand what was going on.
Nie Lingdang was completely relieved, it seems that he didn't catch himself, he came to find Song Kai, stupid master? Is Song Kai stupid? I'm not stupid, I'm just a bit of an idiot and don't understand anything.
Hey, hey, reading books is a bad head.
The old man's forehead was broken, bleeding, he looked up, and saw Song Kai, crawling over on his knees like a ghost crying wolf.
"Da Lang, Da Lang, are you alright, ouch, scared the old slave to death, Da Lang, you have been asleep just now...... " The old man cried, snot and tears all pouring out.
The old man wiped it with his palm, snot mixed with tears everywhere, on his hands, on his mouth, and on his face, a little disgusting.
"Hmph, I want to blackmail Yang's money! You old immortal! Come on, reward his stupid master with thirty dollars, don't starve to death Lai Shangbenlang! Brother Gongzi, who was standing outside the door, flicked his sleeves and said loudly, he was wearing a bright white robe, with a round collar at the neckline, a cyan belt tied around his waist, and he wanted to bring an ornament made of incense sachets and a few gold, and at a glance he knew that he was a young master from a rich family.
Behind the young man, an old slave took out a money bag from his arms, counted more than twenty copper coins, and threw them on the floor.
"Song Kai, today is just a lesson for you, in the future, if you talk nonsense again, saying that Mrs. Liu is your relative, I will definitely not be able to spare you, let's go!" Brother Gongzi outside waved his hand and left with a few family members.
"Dalang! Da Lang, it's okay if you're okay," the old man stood up and stretched out his hands to grab Song Kai's arm.
Song Kai hurriedly retreated, this old man didn't wash his hands, it was all snot, it was too dirty.
With this retreat, Song Kai's ass sat on Nie Ling's head.
Nie Ling didn't do it now, she pushed Song Kai away violently, and scolded angrily: "You are really shameless, aunt and grandmother are the ...... of the Holy City County, you dare to commit such a crime, I will definitely cut off your head in the future." ”
The old slave was stunned when he saw a girl disguised as a man hidden behind the counter.
Song Kai glanced back at Nie Ling, ignoring the goods, he looked at the old man, thought about it, and asked directly: "Uncle, are you ......?"
"Uncle?" The old man was startled, quickly knelt down, and cried: "Little master, don't you dare to torture the old slave like this, the old slave did not do well, let the little master starve and suffer, let the little master be beaten, but the old slave has always been loyal, to the master, to the Song family, has always been loyal!" ”
In the midst of the crying, the old man wrung his snot again.
Song Kai hurriedly spoke: "You get up first, I can't remember a lot of things, you tell me one by one." ”
When he studied traditional Chinese medicine, he also learned a lot of ancient history, and knew that during the Tang Dynasty, although it was a feudal system and free farming, slavery was still prevalent.
Once you become a slave, unless the master's family gives you back your freedom, no matter how great your merits are, you will not be recognized and respected by the state and others.
During the Tang Dynasty, the hukou system was very strict, of course, it is the end of the Tang Dynasty, and it is in Suzhou, not Chang'an, so it should be much more relaxed.
The old man looked at Song Kai suspiciously, and seeing that Song Kai had really forgotten a lot of things, he whimpered and cried again, crying while saying what he was sorry for the Song family.
Song Kai was depressed, how could he have such a crying old slave.
Over there, Nie Lingdang looked at the old man with a disgusted expression, and when she saw the copper coins scattered on the floor, her eyes lit up, and she no longer cared about the prestige of her county lord, and went to pick up the copper coins with her ass pouting on the ground.
After the old man cried and cried for more than half an hour, Song Kai finally figured out his identity, he was the owner of this Hongchen Inn, and this old man was his slave, called Ah Fu.
Originally, the Song family was also very famous in Suzhou City, there were dozens of acres of fertile land outside the city, and there was an inn and a manor in the city, but Song Kai's father was too angry, since Song Kai's mother died, he gambled and prostituted, ruined the family business, and then scattered his legs and left the world, leaving only Song Kai such a broken inn.
Song Kai has been a nerd since he was a child, and he suddenly got into a mess of business.
So the cooks, the runners, and the shopkeepers in the inn all ran away, and when they ran, they swept away all the money in the store, and those things still could not cover the wages, and then some people took the calligraphy and paintings, wooden tables, and paper inkstones in the store to pawnshop......
Sighing, Song Kai can also think about it, anyway, there is an inn that is his own, if he had such a big real estate in Suzhou City in his own year, he didn't do anything, just collected rent, and properly exceeded 10,000 yuan a month, in case of demolition compensation, if he was not careful, he would become a multimillionaire......
"Hey, the little master is really pitiful, he became an orphan early, not to mention, and now he has lost his memory, but this inn is not in business. Da Lang, otherwise, ...... the inn Just sell the inn, how can this inn sell for a thousand yuan, in exchange for money, let's go outside the city to buy more than a dozen acres of fertile land......" Ah Fu snorted and cried.
Song Kai waved his hand, he sold such a good house just after he came, how could it be done.
"Think of a way to continue to drive, don't seek wealth and nobility, it's still feasible to make a living," Song Kai pointed to the front building and backyard, the geographical location is good, although the restaurant is dilapidated, but the construction is very atmospheric, and it is still feasible to make money.
Ah Fu cried with a sad face, "Da Lang, how can it be so easy, you also saw it a few days ago, you can't make ends meet, if you want to open a store, you have to have a running hall, you have to have a cook, you have to pay taxes, you have to buy materials...... Hey, the point is, we don't have the capital now, not to mention anything else, today's lunch and dinner are not settled, old slave ...... The old slave hasn't eaten for a day and a night......"
As he spoke, he cried again.
Song Kai was bored when he heard this, and pointed to Nie Lingdang and said, "Isn't this money." ”
