Chapter 102: Worship the sky in the streets
How is the shopkeeper Xia, Wang Tong doesn't bother to pay attention to it, there are too many things to worry about now.
The day before and Zou Yi said, the next morning, a eunuch wearing a purple robe came to the delicacy restaurant to report, this purple-robed eunuch seems to be a Maitreya Buddha at first glance, and he has a smile without grinning.
"Lord Wang, the little Jiang Zhonggao, in the future, I will be on an errand on the adult's side, Father-in-law Zou has ordered, if there is anything on your side, you will order the little one."
The gambling house of the Jingjie Tiger does not lose money every day, and this Jiang Zhonggao will not be useful for a year and a half, but fortunately, he also needs someone to help in the delicious restaurant.
To say that this Jiang Zhonggao does have some extraordinary skills, from morning to lunch, it is only a matter of a few hours, and the result is one with the people up and down, from Ma Pozi to the guys in the store, there is no one who doesn't like this person.
Moreover, this person has worked as a food supervisor in the palace, and he is very familiar with the kitchen industry, and his hands and feet are diligent, and the efficiency of the delicious restaurant has been raised at once, and the atmosphere is very good.
Jiang Zhonggao is not a bad person, having such a person in the store is only good for the delicious restaurant.
The busiest thing about the restaurant now is the two meals at noon and in the evening, and it is necessary to prepare the meals of these 100 teenagers, and it is served at the same time, and it is not too big a pot of dishes.
At this time, the eunuchs and guards in the palace also had scattered meals, of course, in another dining room, and the people in the entire delicious restaurant were really busy.
However, with this Jiang Zhonggao is different, he took the work of the central dispatch from the hands of the horse widow, and the Shangshan supervisor wants to arrange the meals of the entire palace, and the palace maids and eunuchs are thousands of nobles, and the number of people in the delicious restaurant is nothing.
For the first time, everyone in the delicious restaurant found that they didn't have to be so busy at noon, and under Jiang Zhonggao's scheduling, everything was in an orderly and orderly manner.
Jiang Zhonggao had already mingled with everyone in advance, and no one objected to his command, even Ma Pozi, the actual manager of the delicious restaurant, smiled.
But Wang Tong noticed that it was just a noon time, Jiang Zhonggao seemed to be familiar with everyone in the delicious restaurant, and he could recognize everyone and call out everyone's name, Zou Yi was right.
At lunchtime, after putting the tableware and food in the delicious hall, the guys in the delicious hall all withdrew from here, and Wang Tong also changed into the dark blue martial arts hall costume.
Soon the restaurant was lively, the teenagers were eating while talking and laughing loudly, among these teenagers, in addition to Wang Tong, the knowledge of Emperor Wanli was also incomparable to others, after all, in which position, I didn't know how many things I saw and heard in the world.
In the past few days, during the interval between training in the martial arts hall, Wang Tong talked about it, but at lunchtime, it was "Huang Yijun" who talked loudly, and Emperor Wanli liked this feeling of being surrounded and listened to by his peers, and often said it happily.
Wang Tong naturally won't steal his limelight at this time, he and Li Hutou took the meal and leaned against the place by the door to eat, Wang Tong was quite tired from official duties and martial arts training in the morning, and eating at noon was also a time to rest, slow down his spirits.
"Who are you?"
During the meal, Wang Tong heard someone outside the delicious restaurant asking, when the emperor was there, this side was a heavy place, and the guards in Dongchang and the palace were either in civilian clothes, or pretended to be eunuchs and guards who came to eat, cruising around, and when they met strange and suspicious people, they spoke and interrogated, and even directly started to arrest.
"Down here is Xia Dafu, the shopkeeper of the Zhenxing Building over there, who has something urgent and wants to find Lord Wang."
There was silence outside, and then someone said:
"This person is indeed the shopkeeper of the restaurant, Lord Wang's identity should be kept secret, tell Lord Wang to come out!"
The merchants and people on the whole street are registered in Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and there are special people to distinguish them, but it is also a shame that this Xia shopkeeper is an acquaintance, if a complete stranger comes over, I am afraid that he will be tied up and arrested immediately, and he will find a black prison to torture him first.
If Wang Tong hadn't sat by the door, and now the cotton curtain was replaced by a bamboo curtain in the summer, I'm afraid I wouldn't have heard these things.
Not long after, a man dressed as a guy came in with a curtain, and after finding Wang Tong's table, he whispered a few words, Wang Tong put down his rice bowl and walked out.
The shopkeeper Xia of Zhenxing Building stood by the door with a panicked expression, waited, and when he saw Wang Tong come out, he took two steps forward, and suddenly knelt on the ground, slammed his head and slammed his head, and cried out in his mouth:
"Lord Wang, Lord Wang, please call the shots for the little one!!"
When Wang Tong came out, the guards outside consciously flashed out of an open space, which was a kind of respect for Wang Tong, and the shopkeeper of Naxia suddenly knelt down, startling everyone, and someone pressed his hand on the hilt.
There are so many teenagers sitting in the store, and suddenly they are called "adults", isn't this a bad thing, and what happened to this Xia shopkeeper, he actually knelt down so hysterically.
He hurriedly stepped forward and pulled up the shopkeeper Xia, Wang Tong's arm strength is not small now, so he pulled the shopkeeper Xia, approached and shouted angrily:
"Don't call Lord Wang, if there is anything to find Shuntianfu, what can I do for you here!"
The other party suddenly knelt down, which also caught Wang Tong a little off guard, he now understands his identity, Jinyi Wei General Banner patrols the streets, and does things according to the orders of the superiors, and has no right and responsibility to take over the case and try the case.
The tragedy of Zhao's shopkeeper family last time was just in time, and he had to take care of it, but it also had to be carried out through the officials and servants of Shuntian Mansion, and now there is no way to end it well.
And this Xia shopkeeper is oily, and when he comes to find himself, he may just want to be opportunistic, thinking that he can do a lot of things as a brocade guard.
After throwing it off, before Wang Tong could turn around, the shopkeeper Xia, who was in tears, actually hugged Wang Tong's calf and cried:
"Lord Wang....... no, no...... Brother Wang, the villain came to you for help when he was really desperate, and he was thrown out when he was sent to Shuntian Mansion. ”
Hearing this, Wang Tong was stunned, stopped his movements and asked:
"What kind of case, Shuntianfu didn't accept it?"
Shopkeeper Xia loosened his head when he heard this, and his strength in holding Wang Tong was a little less, and he hurriedly said:
"The villain's brother-in-law lost money gambling some time ago, borrowed the silver money for the donkey rolling,, borrowed fifty taels, and in less than half a month, it rolled into one hundred and fifty taels, and he couldn't afford to pay back the silver, so he had to take my poor niece to offset the account, and he wanted to sell it to a big family as a maid......"
Wang Tong broke free violently and said in a cold voice:
"One hundred and fifty taels of silver is a lot, can't Shopkeeper Xia take it out?"
In a restaurant like Zhenxing Building, there are still two hundred taels of silver on the counter, and it is not a chore to sell it to a large family as a maid in these years.
It is said that it is a slave and a maid, a cow and a horse, but in a big family, a cow and a horse can be dressed deliciously, and maybe you can climb the high branches.
"Little Brother Wang, the villain's sister-in-law came to the door crying, why won't the villain give it, but those people only want my niece, not silver?"
This thing is weird, Wang Tong frowned and asked again:
"I remember that Shopkeeper Xia, isn't your owner the cousin of Shuntian Mansion Yin, why can't you hand it in?"
"My niece is going to be sent to the Ministry of Officials Wang Tianguan Mansion to be a maid, how can those people in Shuntian Mansion offend ......"
Hearing this, Wang Tong turned around and left, this Xia shopkeeper is not a bad brain, he can enter the Ministry of Shangshu to be a maid, and he is more comfortable than being a young lady in a medium-sized family, and he is still picky, if it weren't for the pitiful crying of this Xia shopkeeper, Wang Tong would have thought that the gang of loan sharks was Kaishantang.
As soon as he turned around, Wang Tong was stunned, I don't know when, the doors and windows of the delicious restaurant were full of heads, and the corners of their mouths were crowded over there, looking at the appearance of concentration one by one.
Emperor Wanli and Li Hutou grabbed a good position, standing outside the door, Wang Tong turned around, these teenagers didn't react, the two sides looked at each other stupidly for a while, but it was Emperor Wanli who opened his mouth first:
"Captain Wang, this person's niece is going to be a slave, it's really pitiful, you better ask!"
Emperor Wanli's eyes lit up and ordered there, in this era, comments such as the Bao Gong case have become quite popular, and the teenagers often say when they talk that Emperor Wanli is thinking that he can also be a master of the sky, or watching Wang Tong be the master of the sky, is very excited.
Wang Tong complained bitterly in his heart, what about being a slave household, being a girl from a common family is free, but you can't eat any meat, you can't wear silk, so what's the benefit, but if you want to enter the Shangshu Mansion, even if you marry the slaves in the house in the future and start a family, and be a slave for generations, it is not much stronger than a poor family, so why bother with him.
But when the emperor asked, he had to turn around and say to the shopkeeper of Naxia:
"Go to Shangshu Mansion to be a maid, a good thing that ordinary people can't get by breaking their heads, you are crying here, isn't this confused?"
Shopkeeper Xia knelt on the ground with a bitter face, wiped the tears on his face, he wiped the dirt on his hands and just became a flower face, the teenagers were staring at him, seeing this funny appearance, laughing loudly.
"If you go to Shangshu Mansion on an errand, it's too late for the little one to be happy, the villain's hard-working niece was sent to Wang Tianguan's son....... the villain's owner has some relationship with Shuntianfu, and he knows a little bit about it, saying that Wang Tianguan's son is cultivating what kind of pill, buying a beautiful woman as a furnace ding, has been refined to death four or five...... That's why the villain doesn't want my niece to jump into the fire pit......"
