Before night had fallen, the shops in the East Market had already hung up lanterns as usual. The lanterns from the hands of the bamboo masters each release their brilliance, and they compete like flowers.

Pedestrians walk on the street, as if wandering in the sea of stars and lanterns. The warm breeze blowing from the market, with an intoxicating aroma, smoked the shy tourists, and couldn't help but rise a trace of the courage to spend a lot of money.

A few strong men who had worked hard all day had just come back from the dock, talking and laughing and walking into the Changle Wine Shop, and were about to comfort themselves with some cool drinks.

Who knows, the lady behind the counter didn't look at it, so she stretched out her slender jade finger and threw out the flower sticks they put on the table: "Changle Wine Shop has now resold to me, and I will no longer exchange flower sticks!" ”

When a few strong men heard this, they hurriedly walked a few steps backwards and exited the wine shop, looked up, and sure enough, they saw that the familiar door plaque had changed the words: "Liu Ji Wine Shop?" ”

They are all sailors who run boats, and they haven't been in Chang'an City for a few days, so they can't help but wonder: "The Changle wine shop is still running well, why did it change hands without making a sound?" What should we do with this coupon we bought? ”

"If you can't open it, you will change hands, what's so strange about this." The shopkeeper lady at the counter is about her early twenties, combing the popular double moon bun, with a faint rouge on her face, sitting under the lamp with her eyes flowing, and she is extraordinarily romantic.

She glanced at the strong men lightly, and said with a smile: "I kindly remind you that since this coupon can't be used, whoever bought it from should find someone to return the money." If the merchant refuses to return, you will go to the East Market Bureau to sue him, and keep him so that he can't eat and go around! ”

Although the shopkeeper covered her lips, she couldn't hide the faint interest that flashed in her eyes, as if it was a very interesting thing that the person who sold the coupons was unlucky.

When a few strong men saw it, they couldn't help but feel itchy. For the money they had earned through hard work, and for the sake of making the beauty smile, they turned around and walked in the direction of the coupon store.

As soon as he entered the small coupon shop, he took out a large number of flower sticks from his arms and slapped them on the table: "You deceitful black shop!" It's only been a few days since I bought the voucher, and I don't even have a wine shop to change my wine, so where can I spend it? ”

There was not much business in the brokerage store at this time, only a half-sized guy sitting behind the counter and dozing off. was troubled by a few strong men, the young man's head slammed on the table, and he woke up: "A few masters, don't worry." ”

He picked up the flower sticks and looked at them one by one, confirmed that they were all genuine goods sold from the coupon store, and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, this Chang'an liquor store has been closed, and I will refund you." ”

He moved too fast, and before a few strong men who were finding fault could react, the returned coins were already on the table: "Everyone, please check the number." ”

The strong men didn't know how to quarrel with their mouths open, but fortunately, one of them had a more active brain, touched his nose and said: "This is thousands of big money, even if you use it to lend, you should make dozens of dollars, you just want to return the original price to us?" ”

The young man seemed to have seen a lot of people making trouble like this, and without blinking his eyes, he said: "You may have forgotten the pre-sale instructions of my coupon store, if this coupon cannot be used and needs to be returned, it will be refunded at the original price." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and gave the boss a piece of red paper: "Look, it's all written on it." If you are not satisfied, you can go to the official office to ask the masters if this is the reason. ”

As soon as he said this, a few strong men vaguely remembered that when they were greedy to buy coupons, the shopkeeper who sold coupons did say a lot of nonsense, and there seemed to be such a paragraph.

They are all rough men who work hard, and they don't know a lot of big characters, so they are embarrassed to argue with readers about these rules and regulations. As soon as he heard that the government agreed with this statement, he blushed and accepted the coins on the table and left the coupon store in a hurry.

"Phew." The shopkeeper lady of Liu Ji Liquor Store listened to the young man's relay, and couldn't help but say: "Look at the five big and three thick like a gentleman, I didn't expect it to be all wax guns." ”

"That Du girl is already thoughtful," Wang Debao shrank in the corner with a gloomy face, gritted his teeth and sneered when he heard this: "It's too whimsical to try to break her down with your little trick." Be careful that the rats don't hit it, but they get into trouble. ”

"Heh, I'm in trouble?" Liu Niangzi retorted without showing weakness: "If I cause trouble, Boss Sun will return this wine shop to you, isn't it just as you want?" ”

Wang Debao was told the central matter, his face turned dark, and he turned around and walked towards the backyard: "Hmph! I'm too lazy to talk to you! ”

"I'm too lazy to talk to you!" Liu Niangzi now has stable assets and has gotten rid of the hidden dangers in her stomach, it is when the spring breeze is proud, where will she pay attention to Wang Debao, a loser. Twisting his slender waist, he turned around and returned to the counter, and leisurely fiddled with his abacus.

In the backyard, Wang Debao's face was gloomy like a dark cloud, staring coldly at the triumphant Liu.

On that day, he messed up the business of Changle Liquor Store, and Boss Sun said that there was another way to deal with it. He didn't expect that the method that Boss Sun said was to sell the liquor store to the Liu family at a high price.

Now that the liquor store has been relieved of the trouble of vouchers, there is no place for him, so he can only be aggrieved and aggrieved as a small purchasing manager.

'Du, Bao, Zhu', Wang Debao really hates this name. However, for a while, he couldn't find a way to deal with Du Baozhu, so he had to retreat to a dark corner and watch the Liu family fight with Du Baozhu with a cold eye.

"Tai Niang." Liu was calculating today's surplus when she heard Du Yanlin call her.

When I looked up, I saw Du Yanlin holding a fan to block his face, hiding on the corner of the street to probe his brain. That demeanor, which is like a scholar, but like a low-class person who steals chickens and dogs.

Liu knew that he was afraid of being discovered by the tigress at home. However, it was precisely because he knew about this that he looked at Du Yanlin more and more unpleasantly.

Needless to say, in the past, her parents were dead, and she had no permanent birth, so she could only devote herself to Du Yanlin like a rabbit. Inside, I flattered this sour scholar, and outside, I had to prevent the tigress from blackmailing her that week, and how tormented the days were.

Now it's different, she has coaxed Du Yanlin to take out her private money to secretly buy this wine shop, and she took advantage of the Shanghai businessman Sun Fang, not to mention the prosperity in the future, it is also worry-free. Where are you still willing to serve a sour scholar with no ambition like before?

However, his identity as Du Baozhu's second uncle is still somewhat useful, and the Liu family turned his face immediately, so he quickly restrained his expression and greeted him with a smile: "Erlang, why did you come here?" The kitchen has already prepared the food and drinks, let's go upstairs to eat. ”

"Hey, I won't eat it." Du Yanlin held a fan in one hand and held Liu's hand in the other. When I got to a secluded place on the side of the road, I looked carefully at the streets and alleys, and whispered, "I'm just here to deliver you a letter." ”

"Jiaojiao'er has returned to the city today, and she should come to Wang Debao tomorrow to settle accounts. Don't come to the store tomorrow, lest you get into trouble and hurt you. ”

Du Baozhu is back? This news not only did not make the Liu family afraid, but provoked a bit of belligerence.

Sun Fangken sold the shop that was going into the gold to her this day, and he liked her and Du Yanlin's idea. If Du Yanlin can be used to restrain Du Baozhu, wouldn't it be a great achievement in front of Sun?

She has only passed her twentieth year now, and it is the time to be graceful, if she can take this opportunity to let Sun Fang accept her as a house-filler, wouldn't she be able to fly on the branches and become a phoenix?

When the time comes, where will she be afraid of a mere Zhou family?

The more Liu thought about it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't wait for Du Baozhu to come to Liu Kee Liquor Store that night to trouble her. However, his face was still soft and weak, he glanced up at Du Yanlin, and said worriedly: "Now that the wine shop is in my name, according to Jiaojiao'er's ability, I am afraid that I will be able to find out tomorrow." Even if I hid, where could I hide? ”

"This ......" Du Yanlin made a difficulty.

At the beginning, Liu's was troubled by Zhou's and accidentally slipped the tire, and he was distressed as soon as he saw Liu's pale little face. Liu said that it was difficult to get around without any income, and he wanted to buy Changle Liquor, so he listened.

It wasn't until the silver was handed over and the building plate of the wine shop was changed that he remembered that Changle Wine Store and Jiao Jiaoer seemed to have some disputes. However, it was too late to regret it at that time, so I could only bite the bullet and let the Liu family hide behind the people, so as not to let Jiaojiaoer find out.

But Liu leaned into his arms with tears in his eyes and cried, saying that he was a good beloved daughter, and now he can't even see anyone, which really makes his ancestors lose face and want to die.

The Liu family followed him innocently, and it was enough to be wronged that he couldn't enter Du's house. Now that there is a shop, it can't be operated in an upright manner, and it really shouldn't. As soon as Du Yanlin's head was hot, he patted his chest to deal with the matter, and asked the Liu family to open a wine shop, and Jiaojiao'er to deal with it!

The bold words were sent, but when he thought of Jiaojiao'er's delicate and willful appearance, his legs and stomach trembled: "Now I have to take one step at a time, you hide first, if the situation is serious, I will come forward!" ”

Liu, who was hiding in his words, pursed the corners of his lips, but said delicately: "Then please Erlang." ”

Du Baozhu, after cooking more than 1,000 tea trees, returned to the house to meet Du Guangyi, holding lamps and candles, and drew the design of the mountain fortress overnight.

After that, I slept until noon and got up slowly.

Cui Shi had already told Du Rangneng about the dangers on the road, and when Du Rangneng heard that his wife and daughter were almost killed by a villager, his upright face showed a little anger, and he almost couldn't hold back, and wanted to take someone to Xin'an County to complain.

didn't wait for Du Baozhu to speak, but Cui Shi preemptively stopped Du Rangneng: "Now that Xin'an County is suffering from drought, I'm afraid that the government will not be able to do disaster relief, where can I manage the disputes between the people?" It's useless for you to make a trip. After all, Jiaojiaoer and I have nothing to do, so let's leave it at that. ”

Du Rangneng couldn't help but be surprised, he knew his wife best. Cui's family was born in a family of etiquette, and he was the most jealous and hateful. In the past, if such a thing happened, he would not want to deal with it, and Cui would urge him to solve it.

How is it different this time?

Before he could react, something even more surprising happened. After the roadblock robbery, Cui's didn't tie Jiaojiao'er to her home, but urged her to hurry up the mountain to see how much the tea tree planted last night had lived.

Du Baozhu didn't think there was anything wrong with Cui's reaction, and obediently finished breakfast before explaining: "I have verified it last night, and the Ah Xuan we brought back is an old master of serving tea trees. There's her and her eldest brother staring over there, so it's okay if I don't go. ”

Cui Shi nodded reassuringly: "Then do you have any arrangements for today?" ”
