Chapter 442: Secret
(The second more ~ Sure enough, there is still no network, today the return visit is suspended, and I beg you to continue to support!) οΌ
Zhao Defa watched the sky get darker, and had the idea of going back to the Cyclamen Tower several times in his heart, but finally gave up for the sake of the five taels of silver.
At this time, there were no more customers in Chen Ji's tea shop, and he felt more and more that he couldn't talk about staying in the shop for a long time to drink tea.
Although the name of the tea shop is "Chen Ji", there is no boss surnamed Chen here.
Half a year ago, maybe the shop here and the boss here could still correspond, but it was half a year ago that the boss surnamed Chen of the Chen Ji Tea Shop died of a sudden illness, and now the boss of the shop is the original proprietress of the Chen Ji Tea Shop, and to put it bluntly, she is a widow.
The widow's surname is Yue, her name is "Qing'e", and the old customers in the tea shop still regard her as the mother-in-law of the Chen family, and she also follows the original name when calling her, calling her "boss lady", but Zhao Defa feels that since her man is dead, it is meaningless to keep this widow.
He can still stay here when there are guests during the day, but seeing that the sky is about to darken, if he continues to lie in the tea shop and does not leave, lest he be gossiped, it doesn't hurt to be himself, after all, he is still a single person at the age of thirty, but the other party can't stand this grievance, twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a thin body and a beautiful posture, if this is spread out, I am afraid that he will be sentenced to dip in the pig cage and ride a wooden horse!
The other party may also have this worry, although he didn't let himself go, I'm afraid it was also because he was a regular customer. However, not saying anything does not mean that he can't hint at anything, looking at her anxious expression, seeing her "courtesy" who has already refilled tea for herself three times in less than a quarter of an hour, he already understands in his heart that the other party is going to issue an "eviction order".
But what if you're not in this tea shop? The location set with that gentleman is this Chen Ji Tea Shop, if you walk away and the other party happens to come to find it, I am afraid that you will snub others......
He is a buddy of the Cyclamen Building, he can't tarnish the reputation of the Cyclamen Building, he is a citizen of Kongcheng, and he can't ruin the etiquette of Kongcheng...... But he forgot that if he continued to stay in the tea shop, it would not be "etiquette" that would be bad - the reputation of the entire Zhao clan would be completely destroyed by him!
"That ......" looked at it, after all, he couldn't bear the other party to continue to be embarrassed like this, after thinking about it, he decided to leave, as long as he didn't get too far from this tea shop, then he would be able to see it as soon as the gentleman came, so that he would not delay picking up people, nor spreading some gossip, but it was also the best way he could think of.
It's just that he still has one thing to tell before going out, so he looked at Yue Qing'e, who had brought hot water to refill the tea, and said.
"Huh?" When the little widow heard that he was about to speak, her injured movements were a little slower, and when she raised her head to look at the man, she saw that the man was looking at her, and she couldn't help blushing a little, and after a while she hurriedly asked, "What do you want to say?" β
"My money here...... You continue to help me keep the ......," Zhao Defa said as he put the silver he was holding in his hand on the table.
"Isn't it time to pay your wages yet? Yes...... Why so many? The little widow was slightly startled, but she didn't step forward to take the silver, but just looked at Zhao Defa with a little worry and asked.
"The reward I just received from the guest today......" Zhao Defa smiled proudly, and couldn't help but be secretly grateful to Hua Hate Liu, these five taels of silver have earned a lot of face for himself!
"You can keep it...... I'm here, I've got quite a few here. The little widow sighed softly. The two of them didn't talk much, and even if there were occasional disagreements, the little widow knew that this man was the hardest on the surface, but he was very soft in his heart, and his stubborn temper would always be worn down by a slow grind.
It is precisely because of this that she is convinced that the other party will never lie.
"No, no, no......" Zhao Defa waved his hand, stood up and said, "It's better for me to go out and wait...... It's ......not good to be seen after a long time here."
As he spoke, he stood up and was about to walk out, but before he could take a step, he heard the man behind him shout, "First...... Wait a minute! β
The little widow called out to Zhao Defa, and before he came to his senses, he ran into the back room first, and after a while, he hurried out again, but when he ran out, he was holding a single coat worn by a man.
"It's already been mended, you take it by the way...... ...... "The cold weather handed the clothes to Zhao Defa from a distance, and the little widow hurriedly took two steps back, as if she had to insist on keeping the distance between the two.
"Okay, don't forget to put it away." Zhao Defa took the clothes, smiled "sneering", and went out.
The carriage was placed outside, and he originally expected that Hua Hate Liu would come back soon, so he didn't untie the horse, but when he saw the horse pulling the cart, he saw that it couldn't keep up his spirits, and he thought that he was tired because he had been riding the cart all day.
After getting into the carriage, he beckoned to the little widow behind him, who was holding on to the door frame and looking out, and drove the horse to the corner of the alley in front of him, where he could see the tea shop, and it was not easy for other people to see, so it could be said that it was the best position nearby.
However, after taking two steps, he felt that something was wrong. Although he is the second shopkeeper of the cyclamen building, he was a real car driver before, otherwise he would not have driven the car out today.
Because of his experience in driving cars, he can judge whether there are people in the car or no one just by listening to the friction sound of the wheels and axles. At this moment, he got into the car, and only took two steps before he realized that the sound of the car did not seem to be right.
Someone is already in the car!
Shocked in his heart, Zhao Defa couldn't help but panic a little: Could it be that he was robbed? However, he has lived in Kongcheng for nearly thirty years, but he has never heard of any robbers and thieves......
"Don't think about it, just go back."
Just as he was thinking about other reasons, he heard the people in the car speak. It was only when he heard this voice that Zhao Defa calmed down.
"Mr. Chou...... You, when did you come back? Zhao Defa said happily.
"I just came back, and I was about to go in to call you, but I found that you were going out, so I got into the car directly." Hua Hateliu's voice sounded slightly tired, but Zhao Defa could hear him say it and still undisguised his smile.
"You...... All...... Did you hear it all? Slightly startled in his heart, Zhao Defa just put down his heart and couldn't help but mention it: the other party smiled and said, could it be that he heard the conversation between himself and Qing'e? This...... If it gets out, then ...... That's ......
Thinking of the situation after the matter was revealed, Zhao Defa couldn't sink his heart anymore, and while parking the carriage, he got out of the car and knelt down to beg for mercy to the flower hater in the car: "Sad...... Mr. Sorrow! Little please, this matter is ...... Don't talk about it! It's small, not right! This...... It's going to kill you! β
Hua Hate Liu originally wanted to take advantage of the time to go back to have a good rest, but now he was stunned by the reaction of the shopkeeper, he didn't know what he had inadvertently said in the other party's mind, listening to the other party so anxiously saying "out of the way", thinking about it is also a matter of life and death, you might as well ask first!
"You...... It seems to be called Zhao Defa? Hua hated Liu thought about it, and it seemed that when she was about to go out, she Qing told sΓΉ to say this to herself, and especially emphasized that she needed to pay attention to the reading of "de" when reading the other party's name.
Hua hated Liu Chu heard the fashion and thought this person was really interesting, but he also wrote it down as an interesting thing, and now he didn't expect it to be really useful, thinking of this coincidence, he was in a happier mood, and his tone became more relaxed.
However, the more relaxed he was, the more Zhao Defa felt that things were not good, and his head slammed on the ground like pounding garlic, and if it weren't for being far away from the tea shop, I am afraid that the little widow would have to come out to see what was going on.
"You get up first, I didn't hear anything." Hua Hate Liu didn't expect that he and Zhao Defa didn't finish their two sentences, and they had already made a big gift to the other side, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that what he said was "I was about to go in and call you, but I found that you were going out", and suddenly suddenly, combined with what Zhao Defa said himself, how could he not understand the "secret" in this?
"When...... Seriously? Hearing Hua Hate Liu say that he didn't hear the conversation between himself and Yue Qing'e, Zhao Defa was startled, and the words blurted out, but when he reacted, he realized that it was extremely rude for him to ask like this! Who is the other party? The other party is Mr. Chou, the world's most famous Mr. Chou! Can he say the same thing as the average person would say? Since he said "I didn't hear anything", then naturally I didn't hear anything, and even if I heard it, I had to believe what Mr. Chou said - perhaps, the other party didn't take the matter of himself and Yue Qing'e to heart at all......
Thinking like this in his heart, Zhao Defa was not discouraged because he guessed that the other party did not take his own affairs to heart, on the contrary, he was secretly happy because he got the other party's promise, so he stood up and got into the carriage and drove the horse forward again.
Are all the cyclamen guys in Kong City so interesting? Feeling the carriage moving slowly, Hua Hate Liu calmed down again and thought that the previous Qian Mao was interesting, and the current Zhao Defa was also interesting...... It seems that except for Kong Zhongman and Xun Daweng and others, the rest of the people are the most interesting people......
The carriage drove slowly through the streets and alleys of the city, walking quietly in the night, passing through the storefronts, letting the lights in front of the shops appear and disappear in shadows, walking through the houses, accompanied by the fragrance of rice and coriander, driving through a darkness, and into another pitch black.
Not far away in a dead end, where darkness was thick and the smell of blood gathered, and occasionally an evening breeze blew through, blowing the corners of the clothes of the people on the ground, trembling slightly, but not rising.
The copper coin is not heavy, but it can withstand the evening breeze.
