Chapter 131: Man
Since Siming returned to Baidi City and had a disagreement with Ma Bin, Ma Bin has been squeezing Siming out of the situation, and the affairs that need to be handled everywhere are also done by Lin Liang, the nephew of Steward Lin.
Because of the relationship between Steward Lin, Lin Liang also worked in the Ma family in his early years, but he fell on the tea thief a few years ago, and has been left aside by Ma Bin since then.
And the tea thief happened to be when Siming first emerged, so the resentment that was replaced was all counted on Siming's head, and since then he has been married.
This time, Lin Liang gained momentum, and immediately removed all the conveniences that Siming got from the Ma family, and even Bihua Pavilion was found fault twice in three days, if it wasn't for Pinyuan, that person didn't plan to stop, and it had to be closed by Bihua Pavilion to settle down.
After the flow of customers in Bihua Pavilion decreased, Ah Wu often came to the house to take charge of some things for Siming, which made Siming's life a lot easier, but Rulan was not happy, and often tied Ah Wu with silver, urging Ah Wu to make friends with some nobles, and peddled the embroidery at home.
That morning, Ah Wu drove the carriage out of Bihua Pavilion and came to Siming. Along the way, I was familiar with the road, but I was thinking about something, and I almost hit someone a few times.
The carriage entered through the side door and entered the courtyard, Ah Wu was a little better, and looked at the house, it was still silent, and went to where the cook's house was. The cook pointed to the hall and said with a smile, "It's still in the house." β
The owner in Ah Wu's eyes is not such an idle person, usually in the eastern suburbs, or when he was in Yin, the inn has just opened, and the house has been lit, or take care of some affairs of the inn, or busy with the affairs of the Ma family, and sometimes take time to test how well he recognizes his words, how is he not a person who will sleep until the sun is high.
Ah Wu took the gruel from the stove, fished some kimchi from the jar, walked through the courtyard, went straight to Siming's house, and when he arrived at the door, he bowed his waist and shouted softly, "Boss, I have come to bring you breakfast." β
Β·Β·Β· After a while, there was a voice in the room, "Come in." β
Pushing the door in, Siming sat on the edge of the desk and looked at the sales of some shops, only then Ah Wu was a little relieved, put breakfast on the table, and said, "Boss, why don't you let the cook bring breakfast earlier, it's almost morning." β
Siming took the paperweight on the side and pressed it on a piece of paper, came over to sit at the table, picked up the rice porridge sent by Ah Wu and sucked it up, "Look at this side and forget, is the inn okay?" β
"Okay, there are more people slowly, thanks to the young master Pinyuan who sent someone to sit there for several days before the field was suppressed." Ah Wu stood aside, hesitated for a while, and then said, "Dongjia, I shouldn't talk too much about this matter, but I'm very anxious on the side, although Master Ma doesn't want to see you anymore, but Young Master Pinyuan still treats you as before, and this tea garden will fall into his hands..." β
"Huh?" Siming is used to being a loner and rarely discusses things with others, and Ah Wu's occasional heartfelt words are often of some benefit to Siming in distress.
Ah Wu also didn't understand the many grievances in the tea garden, and often only talked about what he saw, and when he saw that Siming didn't stop it, he continued, "Some time ago, I listened to the people in the tea garden chatting, and often said that Young Master Pinyuan, what's wrong with today, what's wrong with Ming'er, this is not in previous years, so I wonder if this tea garden is about to be replaced." β
Since the tea party, Siming has indeed rarely paid attention to the internal affairs of the tea garden, and listening to Ah Wu's words, he is even more interested in listening.
"That nephew of Steward Lin didn't last long, and many people were dissatisfied with him. When the young master of Pinyuan really comes up, the first one must be to change the owner back, I think the young master of Pinyuan is really sincere to you. β
Take a true heart, Siming is suffering from this true heart, if he is really as rumored, Siming will not hesitate until now.
"Is your house in the eastern suburbs ready?"
This is a good thing, Ah Wu said with a smile, "Thanks to the Dong family, it's good to get up early, and I'm going to move in in a few days." β
Ah Wu has always been idle, and when he saw the mess in the house, he rolled up his sleeves and cleaned it up, and after a while, he brought clean water from outside to scrub and scrub.
Siming also concentrated on doing his own thing, and when it was almost noon, he left the hall and said to Ah Wu, who was cleaning in the wing, "Wait for dinner, you put the carriage on and go out in the afternoon." β
The early winter sun is like a papier-mΓ’chΓ© tiger, although it is still dazzling, but it does not feel hot at all, hitting people's bodies, but there is a kind of warmth that is wrapped, but it is still not as warm as spring, and I only feel that the breeze that comes from the sun is lovely.
Ah Wu rode the wind all the way and sent Siming to a shop in the west of the city, so he found a place to rest, but after a while, a young child came to talk and asked, "Are you a buddy from Bihua Pavilion?" β
When he was bored, someone accosted him, and Ah Wu was naturally willing to answer, not to mention that there was no need to hide this matter, so he turned his head and replied, "Yes." "It was a yellow-haired girl, but she was only twelve or thirteen years old, and she didn't know how to curl her hair.
"My girl asked me to ask you, your owner is going to buy this shop..." The little girl hadn't finished speaking, but she was caught by a young woman who rushed out of nowhere.
Ah Wu smiled bitterly, what kind of trouble is this.
After a while, the girl came out again, still stunned, and asked Ah Wu, "My girl asked me to change my words, your host... β
Ah Wu saw that the little girl was a little funny, so he put his hand in his sleeve and asked, "What's wrong with our host?" β
The little girl was embarrassed, turned her head and ran away, saying as she ran, "I'll ask my sister again." β
This time I was finally able to say a word, and the little girl asked Ah Wu as if she was endorsing, "Is your host also interested in this shop, my girl has some opinions on this shop, if your host invites us to eat a roast pigeon in Wanxiang Building, our girl doesn't mind talking about it." β
It was a person who came to beg for food, Ah Wu glanced at the girl hiding behind, a little familiar, but I don't remember where I saw it, although the clothes are not as exquisite as the average big girl, and it is not ordinary with the girl who was raised in poverty, she is a woman who can get on the stage.
But Ah Wu couldn't meddle in his affairs, he wouldn't tell the owner about it, and he wanted to make this person die, so he said to the little girl, "Our owner doesn't buy a shop, you let your girl go to someone else." β
After another half an hour, I finally saw the owner come out of the shop, frowned, lowered his face, got into the car and asked Ah Wu to rush back.
Ah Wu was not unaware that the owner was interested in this shop, and this was full of sorrow that he had not negotiated, and he wanted to tell the girl about it several times, but he felt that it was inappropriate, and the people in the car did not speak all the way.
When he was almost about to get home, Ah Wu saw the master and servant again, walking on the side of the road, going to the Qian family's house, it turned out to be the daughter of the Qian family, and she was also a big family in the city, how could she be so sad, these people are not something that can be met often.
"The owner, has the Qian family in the south of the city lost money in the past few years?" Ah Wu still cares a little in the end.
Siming was worried about something else in the back, and replied casually, "Who did you listen to?" β
"It's not that anyone said it, I just think that the daughter of the Qian family is acting so shabby, she is obviously a cousin, and she is much inferior to Miss Liang."
Hearing Miss Liang, Siming finally came back to her senses, "Cousin? β
Hey, Ah Wu was a little puzzled, this owner really only pays attention to the things he cares about, isn't this old man Liang Miss Liang's uncle, although he is low-key, but it is not a secret thing, so he replied, "Miss Liang's cousin, but it should not be very close, after all, Miss Liang has not seen her in the eastern suburbs for a long time." β
Xu was interested, Siming lifted the curtain, poked his head out, and asked, "Where did you see her?" β
Ah Wu pointed to the house in the corner and said, "I just saw someone coming home, is the owner going to look for her?" β
"Nope."
Siming got out of the car, walked to his house, rarely went to the kitchen, and asked, "Last time you said that the girl of the Qian family sent tea?" β
It was all a long time ago, the cook nodded, and added, "Last time the young master of the Ma family came, he ate her family's tea." β
This is a good stubble, Siming went back to the house, loaded some inexpensive ornaments, and carried a pot of wine, and went to the Qian family's house.
After knocking on the door, a little girl came out to open the door, and when she saw Siming, she was happy, turned around and went back to the house, shouting and saying, "Sister, the roast pigeon is here." β
It's weird, this little girl is too rude, although Siming wondered in her heart, she still straightened her clothes and stood in front of the door, waiting for her sister to come out.
After a while, a woman really came out, and she didn't squirm, as if she was very familiar with Siming, and said, "Now that I know that I came to me, I will ensure that you are useful." As he spoke, he led Siming into the house, "Let me tell you, if my father hadn't gone back to the countryside, I wouldn't have so many opportunities to toss these things, and when it is done, you have to give me some benefits, and it won't be in vain that I worked hard for you." β
It's done? Advantage? Siming hasn't said anything yet, this girl seems to already know, but can this kind of thing really be so clear and good, but Siming looked back and thought about it, after all, they are cousins, if they discuss something, it is not good to tell outsiders, since she took the initiative to help me, then there should be some benefits.
"Then there's the Laborer Girl."
Qian Tingting naturally believes in her own vision, last time the tea shop in the eastern suburbs persuaded her father, what her own shop lacked was the shop in the eastern suburbs, and finally urged her father to go to the price, but gave a price that could not be put on the table, and the father and daughter quarreled because of this matter.
"Is that tea shop in the eastern suburbs okay lately?" At that time, I was angry, and I didn't care about the follow-up of this shop, but now I meet the person who bought the shop at the beginning, and I also want to know some about the recent situation.
Ke Siming thought that this was asked by Liang Tian, and felt that she was credible, so he told her everything about the shop in the eastern suburbs.
