Chapter 583: Questioning
It wasn't meant to add food. The smile on the shopkeeper's face faded a little, and after thinking about it, he still replied seriously: "It's just two days ago." It snowed heavily that day, and a carriage in which a student of Guozijian was riding overturned into the river at the head of the bridge, and when he was rescued, he was still angry, but he could not be sent to the hospital. ”
After a guy on the side looked at the official robe on Qiao Ran's body for a while, he suddenly said to the shopkeeper: "The official robe on this adult's body is a little familiar, and it looks a little similar to the adult who came over that day!" ”
Of course, a man and a woman wearing official robes, one old and one young, and the official positions are different, and many places are different, but the background color of the official robe still seems to be from a yamen.
This sentence is to remind the shopkeeper of the identity of the female official who suddenly opened her mouth to ask.
The shopkeeper obviously understood what he meant, and when he heard this, he suddenly said: "This lord is also the same as the adult who came that day, from Dali Temple?" ”
Dali Temple! What does this yamen do, the entire capital, no, there are probably few people in the whole world who don't know!
So, this adult who eats a lot of food is here to investigate the case? Is it still the case of the sunset water?
The shopkeeper thought about it in his heart, and felt that this matter should not involve his head, so he squeezed a smile, and continued to talk with a smile, he said: "Speaking of which, it is also strange that a few naughty children that day, the sound of firecrackers was so loud, and I didn't even hear the cry for help, otherwise, if I heard it earlier, I wouldn't have to die." ”
Of course, now that people are cold, it's useless to talk about it.
The girl nodded thoughtfully when she heard this, and asked him again: "The one you just said sells cloth is the one who runs a cloth shop over there?" ”
"yes, it's the one next door with two shops." The shopkeeper pointed out, and a pair of eyes were still curious at the girl in front of him.
What does this lady mean by asking? Is it still necessary to be held accountable for falling into the water?
Having said that, you shouldn't have to go to jail for setting off firecrackers!
The girl nodded, smiled and thanked her, then pointed to the two empty bowls of sugar water on the table, and said, "Two more bowls of sugar water!" ”
Pingzhuang on the side raised his head and said, "Add another bowl of rice, I haven't eaten anything in the morning, and I'm a little hungry." ”
This amount of food is simply amazing.
The smile on the happy faces of the shopkeeper and the man could not be hidden, probably because she always inquired about the cloth shop, so she told some more about the cloth seller.
"He is the only one who has some shops on this street and he will deal with those children......"
"If you want me to say that the cloth in his shop is really good, and the price is fair, except for us old customers who know the roots, no one buys ...... at all."
"This human nature, it's a little tough, and the little things that are half big are biased, my lord, who do you say will like such people?"
"That's why the business of his shop has been very cold, and it's a loss if you really want to think about it......"
"Thanks to the ancestors who left him two shops, collected the rent money, and filled the deficit of the cloth village to barely survive......"
……
The quick-witted shopkeeper and the guy described the cloth seller in detail in a few words.
"So, he's a more serious person." Qiao Ran thought about it and concluded.
"Yes, so I know that others are not bad, and we don't want to walk around with him more." The shopkeeper sighed twice and sighed, "I'm afraid that he will hold one place and talk non-stop while talking, and make people's heads bigger." ”
Small talk is originally for relaxation, and he is more serious, so what is it called small talk?
"Speaking of which, there is no one who can say a few words to him except for the Sven man of Zhao Dongjia, who is equivalent to talking to everyone." The shopkeeper sighed and said again.
It's just that the guy on the side disagreed, he said: "Yesterday, I saw that Zhao Dong's family and the cloth seller were unhappy!" ”
The shopkeeper was a little surprised when he heard this, and couldn't help asking, "Is there such a thing?" How did I not know? ”
Is there anything else on this street that he doesn't know?
If there is a quarrel, there are people on this street, and they will always listen to people, and besides, the popularity of the cloth seller is not very good, and everyone has no scruples about talking about such people behind their backs.
The guy scratched his head and changed his words: "Actually, I didn't quarrel, but I saw Zhao Dong's family coming out of the cloth shop yesterday, and his face didn't seem to be very good!" ”
Zhao Dongjia and the cloth seller!
When the shopkeeper heard this, he clapped his hands violently, and said: "It must be for the firecracker explosion to hurt his hand, Zhao Dongjia is a kind person, and he doesn't like to argue with people the most, and he has the final say that day, but the cloth seller is not such a person, looking at the trouble he has been staring at for those children for a few days, he knows that most of them want Zhao Dongjia to come forward to teach that child a lesson." ”
Speaking of this, the shopkeeper couldn't help but shake his head: "He's really embarrassed, at such an old age, it's not okay to stare at a few children, it's embarrassing for him." ”
Children are naughty, they are always children, do you want to treat adults like adults, staring at sending children to the yamen to be boarded and then locked in prison?
This person is always like this, he is not tired of living! The shopkeeper sighed with emotion.
As it approached noon, the number of diners gradually increased, and the shopkeeper raised his hand towards Qiao Ran and took his men to greet the diners.
Qiao Ran didn't stop the shopkeeper to ask again, but looked at Pei Qingqing and Pingzhuang, who were touching their stomachs and looking satisfied, at the same table, and asked them, "Have you eaten enough?" We had enough to eat and left. ”
Pingzhuang and Pei Qingqing nodded.
Miss Qiao (Master Qiao) is still very generous.
Especially Pingzhuang, he has a deep feeling about this: he does things behind her back a lot, and occasionally after following Master Zhen out to do errands, he can better understand that it is better to follow Master Qiao.
Not only can he learn as Uncle Nine said, but what he usually sees behind her is a rare situation, which makes him feel like he has lived in vain for more than 20 years.
It's no wonder that in private, everyone is talking about what case is for Master Qiao to touch, and this case will probably not be simple.
The three of them, who were full of food and drink, walked out of the snack shop and stood outside the door, Pei Qingqing asked her, "Miss Qiao, are we going to see the cloth seller?" ”
Miss Fang Cai asked a lot about selling cloth, probably very interested, and the cloth village is separated by two shops, so standing here you can see the cloth village shop.
The flags hanging outside the cloth shop were dirty and were pulled aside, and there was no one in front of the shop, which was in stark contrast to the bustle of other shops on this street.
It's not a good business.
Qiao Ran squinted his eyes slightly and looked at it for a moment, then turned around, pointed ahead, and said, "Let's go to Sande Bookstore first!" ”
That's right, I heard the shopkeeper say that the owner of Sande Bookstore is a good man and a kind person, so it's good to go to him first, at least it's more convenient to ask. Pingzhuang thought so, and hurriedly walked in front of the two girls to help open the way in front.
The group did not walk fast, leisurely, and by the way, they were full and consumed.
After walking for a while, Pei Qingqing took Qiao Ran's hand.
Qiao Ran looked down at her.
The little girl thought for a while and stood on tiptoe to bite her ear: "You can also ask the owner who the Jia scholar is by the way, so that he can write that book again." ”
Yesterday, Fang Xiuting said "The Biography of the Scholar's Divine Brush" made everyone angry, how can you steal people's things and still marry the eldest lady and live a good life?
This is too much, is there any reason for it?
Qiao Ran reached out and rubbed the dough on her head, but she didn't refute. If she could, she would also like to see another version of "The Legend of the Scholar's Divine Pen".
And the reaction of the market is the same.,I heard that after this new volume came out.,Instead, the book sold a lot if it was called the previous one.。
Of course, what made a lot of money was this Sande Bookstore, which was both thrown away with rotten vegetable leaves and sold a lot of books.
The three of them stopped in front of the Sande Bookstore.
Sande Bookstore has arrived.
……
At noon, it is the time when the restaurant is lively, but it is not a bookstore, and there are naturally few people in the bookstore.
Qiao Ran walked in with someone, only to see two or three scholars picking books, and when he heard someone walking in outside the door, he instinctively glanced here, and then his eyes paused on Qiao Ran, then he put down the books in his hand and left one after another.
Compared with the confusion of the owner of the snack shop, these scholars can naturally see the official robe on Qiao Ran's body.
The officials of Dali Temple came here, so it was better not to stay longer.
There are people in this world who like to watch the excitement, and there are people who don't like to meddle.
After a few scholars left, apart from them, there was only Zhao Dongjia sitting behind the table next to him with his arm hanging.
Qiao Ran looked at the good old man in the shopkeeper's mouth-Zhao Dongjia of Sande Bookstore.
In his thirties, he has no beard, his body looks a little weak, his facial features are upright, and he looks like a friendly person.
Zhao Dongjia also raised his head at this time, and his eyes were also stunned when he touched the official robe on Qiao Ran's body, and then he hurriedly got up and walked around the table towards them.
When she got closer, the Zhao Dongjia raised her with one hand and said, "This lord, is there something wrong with coming to my Sande Bookstore?" ”
Qiao Ran looked down at the vegetable leaves under his feet, then ordered some vegetable leaves, and asked him, "Someone is making trouble, why don't you report it to the official?" ”
Zhao Dongjia couldn't help but smile bitterly twice when he heard this, and replied: "Sometimes the book doesn't follow everyone's ideas, and everyone can't help but be angry, it's just human nature. ”
"Really?" Qiao Ran smiled and asked him again, "Who is that Jia Shusheng?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Pei Qingqing and Pingzhuang, who were standing beside her, couldn't help but look at her.
Isn't it a case? Is it really okay to ask this kind of nonsense that has nothing to do with the case as soon as you come?
Pei Qingqing's little face was also obviously surprised, but then it turned to joy: she didn't expect Miss Qiao to attach so much importance to her request, and when she thought about it, she couldn't help but be happy.
Zhao Dongjia's face turned pale, and after a pause, he shook his head and said: "This adult probably doesn't understand the rules of our business, and we can't reveal who Scholar Jia is." This is a rule that cannot be broken. ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the vegetable leaves, rice balls, stones and other things that had been swept into a pile on the side, and said, "I am only a bookstore here, and there are people who come to make trouble, and if people know his true identity, I am afraid that he may be afraid of his life." ”
Qiao Ran let out an "oh", raised her chin slightly, pointed to the messy pile of debris thrown in, and said, "Zhao Dongjia, you are quite protective of Jia Shusheng." Afraid that his life will be in danger, don't you worry about whether you will be retaliated against? Stones don't have long eyes. ”
Zhao Dongjia smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said: "Although my bookstore is not big, and my family wealth is not thousand, I also signed a deed with those who wrote books in my bookstore. A gentleman has something to do and something not to do, this is something that cannot be done, and please forgive me. ”
Excuse me?
"Well said!" The girl smiled when she heard this, her tone was very kind, she reached out and touched her waist, untied the sign on her waist and held it up in front of him, "Of course I can forgive me, but it doesn't seem to be okay." ”
Not again! Seeing this, Pingzhuang couldn't help but say secretly.
This trick is so easy to use, she can't use it all the time!
Is it really good to bully people like this?
Sure enough, after seeing the piece of "Ru I came in person", Zhao Dong's belongings even changed his face.
However, before he could say anything, the girl held up a sign and spoke: "Heaven and Earth Monarch, in front of the Son of Heaven, the deed or something can also be accommodating, Zhao Dongjia, what do you say?" ”
Zhao Dongjia looked at her, his brows furrowed, and he pursed his lips silently.
The girl smiled and said, "Otherwise, I will invite Zhao Dongjia to sit in Dali Temple for the crime of great disrespect?" ”
The man's face turned white all of a sudden.
Pingzhuang turned his face a little unbearably looking at him: she was definitely not joking, in case this surnamed Zhao was still disobedient, she would definitely get this person back to Dali Temple at that time. Of course, she generally doesn't do this kind of rough work herself, and will let him do it.
I don't know why, at this moment, he always feels that they are acting a little like bullies now.
After letting go of the cruel words, the girl coughed lightly again and laughed: "Zhao Dongjia, it's okay for you to follow the deed to this point, you really can't cover up a name to this point, yes or no?" ”
Beat a stick and give a sweet date.
Zhao Dongjia was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "Scholar Jia is Wang Linhan. ”
Qiao Ran said: "Where does this person named Wang Linhan live and what does he do?" ”
Zhao Dongjia glanced up at her, opened his mouth but stopped talking.
Qiao Ran took a deep breath and stretched out the sign in his hand in front of him to remind him a few times.
Glancing at the sign that said "Ru I am here", Zhao Dongjia spoke again: "It is the shopkeeper of the cloth shop on the street." ”
As soon as these words came out, the bookstore suddenly fell silent.
Pei Qingqing, who was secretly opening the purse and stealing the candied fruit, and Pingzhuang, who was embarrassed to cover his face with his hands, stopped their movements at the same time, and their eyes were full of consternation.
No way! It's actually the shopkeeper of the cloth shop?
Is it such a coincidence?
No, not a coincidence.
The girl's face did not show the same look of surprise as theirs, and after hearing this, she only pondered for a moment before she asked again: "Which Lin Han?" ”
The question was as strange as ever, but it was always discovered later that she actually had a deeper meaning.
Pingzhuang heard it very seriously.
Zhao Dongjia was stunned and replied: "It's the two words Hanlin." ”
"Oh?" The girl seemed a little surprised when she heard this, and she said, "It's a bit elegant to hear the name, it seems that she has read a lot of books." ”
It's all said and done, what else is there to be brutal? Zhao Dongjia smiled bitterly and spoke again: "He did study for a few years, and then he failed the exam repeatedly, so he inherited the cloth village of the ancestral industry." This lord, what do you ask Wang Linhan to do? Do you want him to change the book? ”
