Chapter 3 Temporary Residence in the Red Mansion
Not long after, the shopkeeper went upstairs with a fat head, big ears, a big belly, and a mustache, and came straight to Ye Qingge's side.
"Girl, I'm really sorry, I have wronged the girl when I encountered such a thing in our store." The shopkeeper Fu came up with a bitter face and bowed first with his hands clenched into fists to show his apologies, "However, although the girl today is really helpless to smash these things in the shop, it can be seen that the girl is the one who dares to do it, and she will definitely be responsible for this move." The shopkeeper Fu changed his bitter gourd face just now, and continued with a smile.
Ye Qingge secretly praised in his heart, "This shopkeeper is really a human spirit, after a few words, he will not offend people and solve the trouble in front of him, but it is a pity that ......
Ye Qingge raised his head to the smiling eyes of the shopkeeper of Shangfu, and returned a sweet smile, "This shopkeeper is right, I should be responsible, so ...... I decided to stay here and work to pay off my debts. ”
The shopkeeper Fu lifted the shopkeeper next to him, pulled the bench next door and sat opposite Ye Qingge, and the two looked at each other across the table. "Girl, I heard you right, uncle, I'm old, don't laugh with me."
Ye Qingge looked at the shopkeeper with a fusion expression, and instantly became serious, "The shopkeeper looks like I'm joking?" ”
"The girl smashed my things today, don't you still want to eat the overlord meal?" The shopkeeper Fu was fascinated, and his eyes were full of anger.
"Yes and what, and what is not?" Ye Qingge turned the teacup in his hand disappreciatively, thinking about it in his heart.
The customers who had already dispersed, bustling with the idea of watching the play again, all thought that this girl was really bold and dared to come here to eat the overlord meal.
"Girl, settle the bill, hurry up, this is not a place for you to act arbitrarily." The woman in front of the shopkeeper Ren Dang was messing around.
"I said shopkeeper, I have made it clear, I have no money, I can only stay with you as a coolie." The reason why Qingge chose this place is also after some thought, not to mention that she is alone now and has nowhere to go, in the next few months, she also has to have a place to stay, and the silver ticket in exchange for the pawnshop does not know how long it can last, sooner or later she will have to find a job. The most important thing is that this restaurant is full of people every day, and she can learn more about this world.
"Little girl, since you are so nonsense, then don't blame me for being rude to you. Xiaozhu, go to the official quickly. The shopkeeper waved his hand to the shopkeeper, signaling him to report to the official quickly, if the other party is a man, I am afraid that he will not be able to sit here safely at the moment, but it is a girl, and the shopkeeper Fu said that it is a little difficult to do.
"Childe, that girl seems to be in trouble, should we go up and have a look?" Bai Xiaoji has been paying attention to the situation on the other side, and she has long lost the mind to eat.
"Don't be nosy, when Fusang comes back, we still have business to do." His Excellency the chopsticks of the nepeta, interjected a sentence from it.
"Hmph, I don't have any sympathy at all, no wonder I can't find a daughter-in-law." The little thistle gave a white look at the nepeta.
"You ......"
"Okay, let's not say a word. That girl has her own ideas, don't meddle with things. At the beginning of the white arrow rain, he paid attention to the other party's words and deeds, and saw that the girl was calm and calm, without a trace of panic, and she must have a plan in her heart.
Ye Qingge gently shook the teacup in his hand, rubbed his index finger back and forth on the rim of the cup, and chuckled: "Report it!" It just so happens that I also want to ask what crime should be sentenced for conniving shameless people to molest a woman in her mother's family. ”
The shopkeeper Xiaoer, whose feet had already stepped to the staircase, stopped abruptly and looked at his shopkeeper hesitantly.
Hearing this, the shopkeeper Fu still didn't understand, the girl in front of him was not easy to scare. He knows that Boss Wu has molested the girl many times in the restaurant, although that person is a scoundrel, he can't hold back that he is a rich master, and he can't drive people out! So I just turned a blind eye, who would have thought that I would meet such a tough girl today.
"Hey! Forget it, for the sake of you being a girl, I'm unlucky for today's incident, so let's go! "The shopkeeper has no choice.
"Let's go? Shopkeeper, don't I understand what I said enough? I'm responsible for my actions, I'm not going to go. Ye Qingge shook his head at Shopkeeper Fu.
"Oh, I said girl, I don't have a shortage of people in this small shop, there's nothing for you to do, why don't you go?" Shopkeeper Fu pleaded.
"Yes, why not, I see that your account room is still lacking a bookkeeper, the shopkeeper will think about it, but don't worry, I am only responsible for bookkeeping, what else do you do?" Qingge looked at the expression of the shopkeeper Fu and slowly spoke.
The surrounding spectators gasped, this girl's tone was inevitably too big, and she was going to be someone else's bookkeeper as soon as she came, I really don't know what to do.
"It seems that the girl is indeed here to make trouble today, if the girl doesn't leave, don't blame me for the scheme." Shopkeeper Fu said coldly.
"Why does the shopkeeper think I'm here to make trouble? The reason why I say this is not wanton, just now I went downstairs and accidentally saw the bookkeeper of your building was busy and anxious, thinking that he was a little old and looked a little incapacitated, this is one of them.
Second, as the saying goes, there is no diamond and no porcelain work, I have been dealing with numbers since I was a child, not to mention how proficient I am, but I am comfortable in calculating accounts.
Third, I just came here, but I want to find a place to stay temporarily, and I hope that the shopkeeper will have a large number of people to contain the little woman. After Ye Qingge's righteous words, he put down the teacup in his hand and stood up, folded his hands, and bowed deeply to the shopkeeper Fu.
The shopkeeper changed his attitude just now, and began to seriously look at the person in front of him: this girl has a pair of eyes that are full of light, outstanding appearance, and looks innocent and harmless on her face, even though he has read countless people, looking at the changes before and after, he was surprised a lot, but he also let her say right, he lacks a bookkeeper in this store, but this girl is dressed strangely, the origin is unknown, how can he rest assured that he can stay behind.
Ye Qingge saw that the shopkeeper was undecided, his face was entangled, thinking that he must be worried that his identity was unknown, "Then let's do it!" If the shopkeeper is really not at ease, then take me to the police...... How about the yamen to make a proof, so that even if I run away in the future, I can find it? "Something to brag, who wouldn't.
"Haha, that's not necessary, in that case, you can stay, but I still have to think about Mr. Ledger." The shopkeeper Fu was amused by Ye Qingge's words, and thought about it, a girl is alone, so she should do good deeds and accumulate virtue! Anyway, I can't get rid of it, not to mention that this girl still has some skills.
"Then thank you to the shopkeeper." Qingge smiled gratefully, and two small dimples appeared at the corners of his mouth, causing a gasping sound.
In this way, Qingge settled in the 'Red Mansion'. The Red House has five floors: the first floor is for ordinary guests; The second and third floors are private seats; The fourth and fifth floors are the top wings.
Qingge felt that with such specifications as the Red Mansion, how could it meet the standards of a three-star restaurant. She will settle down here for the time being, as for the position of Mr. Bookkeeper, it is only a matter of time, she is not in a hurry.
Because Qingge's own background was too terrifying, she made up her own rhetoric. He said that he lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests with his master, rarely went in and out of the world, and did not know much about the things in the world. It wasn't until the old man passed away that he told her that he had a younger brother in Lin'an City, and asked her to come to take refuge, so she went down the mountain alone.
The shopkeeper didn't have any feelings about Qingge's words, and only vacated a small courtyard not far from the back of the restaurant for Qingge to live in, and gave two taels of silver in January, so that Qingge was responsible for greeting the guests.
The days passed like this for a day or two, and I don't know why, Qingge felt that he was always unmotivated, the whole person was listless, and his enthusiasm was not high, most of the time, Qingge quietly listened to the gossip of the guests at each table, and obtained useful information from it.
Qingge also knew that he had come to a country called Ningxia, and he was in a county called Lin'an.
The waters of Lin'an County are very developed, and it is in the trading center of several countries, and its prosperity is not inferior to that of Kyoto, so there are many foreign merchants.
"Sister Qingge, it's been two days since you arrived, and I haven't seen you talk or laugh, are you worried that you won't be able to find your uncle?" Taking advantage of the fact that there were not many people in this meeting, Xiaozhu took the opportunity to talk to Qingge who was leaning on the staircase. Since he saw Qingge that day, Xiaozhu admired Qingge in his heart, and shouted before and after Sister Chengtian.
"What? You have to help me find it. Qingge drooped his head and said casually.
"No problem, Sister Qingge, show me the portrait, I'll ask you when I'm free." The small column should be lowered briskly.
"Thank you, Xiaozhu, but I'll take care of my own business, so I won't trouble you." Qingge reluctantly smiled back.
"Ahh......h Sister Qingge, you don't have to be so polite. Xiao Zhu shyly touched the back of his head.
"I'm not polite to you, I really don't need to, I can handle it myself." Qingge didn't have the heart to take care of Xiaozhu, and was thinking about finding something to stimulate himself, maybe he could get out of this bad mood.
While the two were talking, another shopkeeper came down from upstairs in a panic, stopped in front of Qingge, and said anxiously: "Sister Qingge, go and take a look, there is someone making trouble in the room on the third floor." ”
Qingge looked at the dog strangely: "People are making trouble, why don't you go to the shopkeeper, what are you looking for me to do?" ”
The dog swallowed: "The shopkeeper will not be in the store, and besides, people will come to you, and they won't look for anyone you are looking for." ”
Xiao Tie beside Qingge looked at the dog with wide eyes, looking like a gossip: Who? Who rushed to Sister Song?
"Didn't Sister Qingge beat Boss Wu that day? This cousin came to the door with a few people. The dog said with a sad face, afraid of fighting.
"Okay, let's go up and have a look! Idle is also idle" Qingge waved his hand and led the two upstairs.
