Chapter 10: Traveling Together(2)
Outside, Liu Xinger smiled a little embarrassed at everyone.
"Excuse me, everyone! My eldest sister is feeling a little unwell these days, I hope you will forgive me, I mean...... Let's sit down a little bit, and we will definitely give everyone an explanation......"
This is a group of scholars, they are just thinking about saving a few dollars for the family, she knows that she is reasonable and emotional, and quickly calms down this group of people, and when she turns around, she sees Old Man Su and Brother Su coming out of the firewood room, and hurriedly pulled these two to the back kitchen.
She first breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "I have expected this accident a long time ago, and it is not that there is no way to deal with it." β
Old Man Su asked, "What can you do?" β
Liu Xing'er pursed her lips and looked at Old Man Su.
"Dad, do you have a fellow shopkeeper in this town?"
Old Man Su chuckled as if he had heard some joke.
"Our ancestors have been in business for generations, and we have never heard of any friendship! Children, peers are enemies! You're still naΓ―ve! β
Liu Xing'er also smiled.
"Dad, you're wrong, everyone's business is nothing more than a transaction, as long as there is a transaction, there will be friendship! Who stipulated that peers must be enemies? β
She asked Brother Su again: "How many inns in this town are similar to our family?" β
Su Zhengdi said seriously: "Although this stone town is remote and poor, it is the only way to the capital, there are too many passers-by, there is no shortage of businessmen with brains in this town, there are a lot of small traders, and the inn is full, and it is common for several inns to close down every year, and it is ...... to say that it is in a difficult situation with our family."
He thought for a while: "There are probably four or five, there are Yuenan Inn, Donglai Inn, Caixin Inn, Danan Inn, and Jinfeng Inn. β
Liu Xinger is quite satisfied with this answer.
"Then we will introduce these guests who can't be accepted by our family to these inns, and we just need to get some back salary, which is good, let's go talk to them."
Liu Xing'er has a little selfishness in her heart, she mainly wants to take advantage of this incident to go around other inns and see what kind of scale other inns are.
"Yes...... But"
Brother Su Zhengdi still had concerns, and Liu Xing'er pulled him straight to the back door.
"Don't do it, if you continue to do it, then you can release your sister and let her solve this matter with a woodcutter!"
Liu Xing'er is a clever and cautious person, she doesn't dare to forget the past situation of the original owner, in order to block the gossip outside, her appearance this time must be to pull Su Zhengdi.
Under the coercion and temptation of Liu Xing'er, Su Zhengdi first took her to the Yuenan Inn, the decoration of the Yuenan Inn was slightly better than the Fulai Inn, but there were no people in the store who did things, and it was even more bleak than the Fulai Inn.
"Who doesn't know that your Fulai Inn is doing a prosperous business! Dare to run to the old lady to see the joke! You see the old lady will bypass you! β
It was freezing on this day, and Brother Su Zhengdi didn't want to freeze Liu Xing'er, nor did he want her to be angry, so he held her hand.
"Apricot, peers are enemies! We have made a big taboo, so don't get your hopes up, go back and change your clothes, and I'll go and get rid of those people!" β
Liu Xing'er wiped the water off her face, and she whispered: "Go back?" Fulai Inn is so big, you drive away a batch today and a group will come tomorrow, these students are in groups, it doesn't take a few days to work hard Those bad news will spread to the ears of that group of students, you Fulai Inn doesn't want to do business? β
She was neither angry nor annoyed, and stretched out her hands to her mouth and shouted to the fat woman's shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper!" Don't get me wrong, we're here to talk to you about business, let's sit down and have a good chat. β
As soon as the voice fell, a plate was thrown downstairs, and when she saw that it was about to hit Liu Xing'er's head, Su Zhengdi hurriedly grabbed her, the plate "crackled" and fell to the ground and shattered, and the fat woman upstairs was still scolding.
"Hurry up and give the old lady how far and how far away!"
Liu Xing'er was a little stunned, Su Zhengdi felt sorry for her and wanted to comfort her and take her back with a few words, but she didn't expect her to grab Su Zhengdi's hand with her backhand, and she was a little anxious.
"This one can't do it, we have to hurry to the next one, and we must talk about it before noon!"
Su Zhengdi looked at this woman who suddenly became stubborn, felt that she was very strange and curious about her, he seemed to be moved by her and attracted to her, he had never seen such a passionate woman as Liu Xinger in his life, she no longer had the weakness of the past and was more like an arrogant plum Ling Han opened, Li Biao was not mistaken, her daughter-in-law is really a magical woman.
There was a light in his eyes, whether it was admiration or heart, he couldn't tell whether it was admiration or emotion, and he helped her comb the broken hair scattered in front of her forehead.
"We're not uncommon! Let's go home! β
Brother Su Zheng is vomiting with himself, obviously his daughter-in-law is also the treasure of his Fulai Inn, how can he let those who have no eyes look down on him!
Liu Xinger refused to leave.
"I've been ridiculed, and now if we still retreat, we will suffer in vain, if we continue to try, we may succeed, and we won't waste our efforts!"
Su Zhengdi felt that her words made sense, but he still didn't want to.
"You're talking so much, you're going to have to go back with me and change your clothes! If you freeze your body, that's the least cost-effective! β
Liu Xing'er gritted her teeth, but still did not waver.
"Go back now, we won't have time, if that group of students sees us like this, it will only make more trouble, we don't have much time, if you really don't want me to be cold, take me to the next house quickly!"
Brother Su Zhengdi couldn't say Liu Xing'er.
This woman is stubborn, and he really can't do anything about her.
He took her to the Donglai Inn, where the shopkeeper was a very young man, and when he saw that the two were too embarrassed, he closed the door from a distance.
They then went to the Caixin Inn, the shopkeeper of the Caixin Inn is an old man about fifty years old, the decoration of the store is also old, but it is clean and undamaged, the store also raises a lot of people, and there is probably some business on weekdays, he politely entertained them, and specially called Xiao Er to make a pot of tea for the two of them, and said with a smile: "I don't know what the two of you are doing when you come to the shop!" β
Liu Xing'er saw a glimmer of hope, she looked at Su Zhengdi with some joy, and said seriously: "Shopkeeper, I don't have much time, I'll make a long story short, we Fulai Inn want to do a business with Caixin Inn ......"
The old shopkeeper turned around and called the shopkeeper and scolded: "How do you do things!" The guests are gone, and they don't even know how to clean up the house! I can't do this kind of thing, how can I expect you to be more dedicated to me in the future! β
The shopkeeper is still young, and he touches his head full of doubts.
"Shopkeeper, we don't have any guests today!"
The old shopkeeper tapped him on the head.
"You're blind! Isn't this man in the upper class? β
The shopkeeper went upstairs with a face full of grievances, the old shopkeeper turned around and smiled with Liu Xing'er, Liu Xing'er continued with her mouth open: "I think if the Fulai Inn can be divided......"
The old shopkeeper opened his mouth again and scolded the cleaner upstairs.
"Your eyes are on the top of your head, you don't see how dirty this staircase is!"
Liu Xing'er looked at it, the stairs were clearly just cleaned, where could she see the dust, she had a bad premonition, but the old shopkeeper looked at Liu Xing'er with a smile, Liu Xing'er wanted to continue, the old shopkeeper pointed to the fire in the back kitchen and scolded.
Liu Xing'er understood now, this old shopkeeper is polite but unwilling to have business negotiations with Fulai Inn, so no matter what Liu Xing'er says, he will not listen, the old shopkeeper gave her the stage, she is not bored, and the old shopkeeper bowed politely, and pulled Su Zhengdi to leave quietly.
On the way, Su Zhengdi anxiously persuaded Liu Xing'er.
"My father has been in business for many years, and since ancient times, his peers have been enemies, and no inn will accept us! We'll go back and think of something else......"
Liu Xing'er didn't listen to her and continued to walk forward, but Su Zhengdi stopped and pulled her hard.
"Don't be whimsical! No one will bother you! β
Liu Xing'er wanted to break free of her hands, but found that she couldn't exert her strength at all, she quickly gave up struggling, the fire in her heart came out, and she met his hot gaze.
"Do you think I've lost the face of the Fulai Inn and made you unable to raise your head!"
Brother Su Zhengdi's brows furrowed, this woman actually thinks of me like this, and she doesn't feel that she has raised her voice.
"Do you really think I'm afraid of losing face? No matter how you are my daughter-in-law, I am a man, and I can't let my woman suffer these things outside! β
Liu Xing'er blinked her eyes, her eyes flickering.
For a moment, she felt that this man really felt sorry for her.
It's just that he and the original owner are a couple who are not husband and wife in the name of husband and wife, if he is distressed, where can he feel distressed?
Speaking of herself, she and this man have only known each other for more than 30 days, and she thinks that this man is not bad, but she thinks that it is not a liking, but that she can't avoid some skin-to-skin kisses when she does things with him, and some fleeting throbbing.
She must have been overhearted!
Liu Xinger retracted her thoughts.
"We've come this far, you just let me try again, so that I die, if it really doesn't work! I will listen to your arrangements for everything in the future, and I will not participate in these things again! β
Su Zhengdi was unmoved.
Liu Xing'er took his hand and begged him like a kitten: "Please, please let me try again, is it okay?" β
Her appearance was pitiful, and Su Zhengdi's heart softened and he didn't let go, and he was unwilling to lead the way.
"This is the last time, if it doesn't work out this time, we'll go back immediately!"
