Although that man had a bad life, he was a talent, especially in the operation of the restaurant.

"Where is he now?"

Shen Mingzhen thought about it, it should be time, if he tries to win him over at this time, he will get twice the result with half the effort.

"Get drunk in a tavern all day." Ziyu said truthfully.

Shen Mingzhen nodded, the rough maids had already prepared the water, not because they were clever but because Mrs. Sun had ordered them to prepare it when she came.

After sending the purple jade down, Shen Mingzhen soaked in the bathtub.

Mother is right, she has become more and more impetuous, obviously affected, she has a lot to learn, such as her business is now to be taken care of by special people.

After soaking in the bath water, Shen Mingzhen got up, took away today's troubles, and had no dreams all night.

"Drink!" The sound of porcelain clashing could be heard in the dilapidated tavern.

Shen Mingzhen took the hat and frowned when she looked at the environment, although she was not a wealthy person, but this tavern was really dilapidated.

"Miss, this place is too dirty, don't stain Miss's eyes." Ziyu also regretted it at this time, she knew that she would send someone to bring that person over, and she didn't need Miss to go this way, and she would pollute Miss's eyes in vain.

"It's okay, let's go to the teahouse opposite and wait." Shen Mingzhen naturally couldn't go in, not to mention that the tavern was dirty and messy, and besides, it was full of a group of big men drinking and having fun, and she would inevitably be bumped into when she went in.

There was a clean two-story teahouse next to the tavern, and Shen Mingzhen went there.

"Yo, is this guest officer going to drink tea or listen to a book?" The sharp-eyed Xiao Er saw Shen Mingzhen with a hat on his head at a glance, not because of anything, but because of a young lady with a maid like Shen Mingzhen, it is rare to see him in this southern city.

Kyoto City is divided into five major parts, namely the four cities in the southeast, northwest and the town in the middle, the town in the city is naturally the place where the dignitaries live, the north city is where the petty officials live, the Shen family lives in the north city, and the east and west cities are also the residences of the people in Pingtou.

As for this southern city, it is a slum, not for anything, but this southern city is a place covered by Li Jiuye, although there are many three religions and nine streams, there is nothing to do, and even the officials turn a blind eye.

"When I came to the teahouse, I naturally came to eat tea, and I found a private room by the window for our young lady." Ziyu took out five taels of silver from her purse and gave it to the shopkeeper.

The smile on the face of the shopkeeper was even more sincere, a few cups of tea and a plate of pastries were only 100 yuan, and the rest was his tip.

Ma found a place for Shen Mingzhen to sit, and then went to serve tea and snacks.

"Xiao Er, have you ever heard that there is a shopkeeper around here who has been deceived?" Ziyu looked curious and said to the shopkeeper, "I've always liked to hear this, so tell me how the shopkeeper was deceived." ”

"This is not a big deal, that person's name is Liu Xusheng, ten years ago he cooperated with others to open a restaurant, and also married a wife, at that time he was a famous person in the southern city, but at the age of sixteen, he took care of the restaurant in an orderly manner.

The partner is his cousin, but he is a wine bag and rice bag, and he can see it with that face, but he accounts for half of the restaurant's share with a little money.

That Liu Xusheng said that he was a kind person, in my opinion, he was an idiot, he thought of brotherhood, but others didn't treat him as a brother.

His son was already six years old, and his daughter was also four years old, and only now did he know that his son and daughter were not his, and even the title deed of his restaurant was stolen by his mother-in-law and changed to his cousin's name.

This wife is separated, the brothers are opposed, and now Liu Xusheng is afraid that it will be wasted. ”

The shopkeeper shook his head as he spoke, thinking that Liu Xusheng was also a famous figure in Nancheng at the beginning, but now he was in the tavern all day long to drink to kill his sorrows, and he felt worried when he looked at it.

Ziyu found out the news she wanted and rewarded the shopkeeper with a silver ingot, but the shopkeeper was frightened and waved his hand again and again: "This girl doesn't want to give it to me again, the one just now is enough for the kid's family to chew for two years, and if there is more, it will break the boy, so I can't help it."

Ziyu was secretly surprised, this shopkeeper is not greedy for money.

"You can take it, and our young lady may have something to tell you to do later, so this will be used as a reward."

Ziyu naturally decorated her outing this time, and her originally delicate face was smeared by Shen Mingzhen, but it looked a little unremarkable.

The shopkeeper just accepted it, and he didn't really regard money as dung, but his blind old lady told him that the nobleman's money should not be taken more, and it may be fatal, but if the reward is wanted, it will be fine.

"The boy took it, and if you have any orders, the girl should just send it."

After saying that, he threw off his pocket and went down to serve snacks.

"This shopkeeper is quite interesting, obviously the eyeballs are about to stick to the silver, but I can't help it." Ziyu smiled and opened the window by the window, and at a glance she could see the restaurant opposite.

"Playing pee and growing out of this environment is naturally smoother." Shen Mingzhen stood up, and through the white gauze, she saw at a glance the young man by the tavern window who was flushed but still drinking.

Liu Xusheng was wearing this gray brocade robe, the collar was a little crooked, the stubble on his face had grown, and the whole person looked unkempt, Ziyu frowned, can such a person really be used by the young lady?

"Wait a minute, your fellow shopkeeper will say, let him find a few people to carry Liu Xusheng over, and make a pot of sobering tea." Shen Mingzhen commanded, although this Liu Xusheng is famous for not being drunk in a thousand cups, but his face is red like this, it is difficult to say whether he is drunk or not.

Ziyu took the order, and told him when the shopkeeper brought the pastries.

The shopkeeper naturally likes people like Ziyu who are happy to give silver, and soon called a few people to carry Liu Xusheng over to him, but fortunately it is not far away, otherwise it is a little tiring.

It's not that the shopkeeper refuses to talk to Liu Xusheng well, and in the past few days, he has persuaded Liu Xusheng a few words because of sympathy, but he was kicked out, he is also a person with a temper, so he naturally didn't want to be wronged, so he carried Liu Xusheng over after looking for someone.

"What are you going to do!"

"Put me down, didn't the dog man and woman let you come."

"I've become like this, and you still don't want to let me go."

Listening to this voice, Liu Xudong was really not drunk, but very sober.
