One day, Fei'er wanted to go to Buzhuang to buy some of the most fashionable clothes for Yuanyuan today, so that he could stand out during the competition, and the first impression on others was the most important. When the sedan chair passed by a teahouse, it heard cheers from inside from time to time. Fei'er ordered the palanquin man to stop and let her personal maid Xiaoxiang go in to see what was making them fuss.

After a while, Xiaoxiang came out, and Fei'er opened the sedan curtain and asked, "What are you doing inside?" ”

Xiao Xiang said to her with an excited face: "Miss, that person is so powerful!" ”

The weather was very annoying that day, and Fei'er was not in a good mood in the first place, but now she was reckless, so she was angry from her heart, frowned, and said unhappily: "How many times have I told you, don't be so hurried and incoherent!" If you do this again, I'll sell you to another brothel!" ”

When Xiao Xiang heard her say this, her tears fell down like pearls with broken threads. Fei'er thought: This little girl also knows that if I sell her to other brothels, I will definitely suffer more, needless to say that I will receive customers, and I will be bullied by other girls and turtle slaves, so I really can't survive, I can't die! Banxiang only heard Xiao Xiang sobbing and said: "Xiao Xiang will never dare in the future, beg my mother not to sell me to other gardens, otherwise Xiao Xiang might as well die." ”

Mom? Yes, the girls in "Lingering Fang" usually call Fei'er "Mom". What an affectionate title? In modern times, it would be strange to hear someone call it like this: how old are you, a lot of daughters. Seeing Xiaoxiang's pitiful appearance, Fei'er sighed and said, "Okay, forget about today's matter, let's talk about why it's so lively inside?" ”

Seeing that she no longer mentioned the resale of her, Xiao Xiang wiped away her tears and said respectfully: "There is a young man in it, playing chess with five people at the same time." ”

"Oh?" Fei'er said thoughtfully, "That's really powerful." Of course, Fei'er won't admit her mistake in front of this girl, if she does, how can she establish her prestige? The most taboo thing in this line of work is to be soft-hearted, if others know that she has a kind heart, then don't you come to beg her to let them go every day? How will you do business then? How else is she going to live? In this unfamiliar place, in this era of oppressed women, it is impossible to be independent without the care of men. Only this business can give her self-confidence back - she can still support herself without relying on men.

However, Fei'er has to admit one thing, she opened a kiln and made men's money. Hehe...... Fei'er suddenly found that she had really changed a lot in the past few years.

"I'd like to go in and have a look." After thinking about it for a while, Fei'er decided to go to the teahouse to see who this chess player who fought against five with one enemy was sacred! This time, Xiaoxiang was much more well-behaved, and hurriedly came over to help Fei'er open the curtain, and carefully helped him out of the sedan chair.

As soon as Fei'er entered the teahouse, she was recognized by the boss here, trotted forward, and greeted: "Oh, who am I?" It turned out to be the proprietress of the lingering shop. What is the wind that blows you here? ”

Fei'er smiled faintly and said, "Boss Wu, your business is good." In the future, you will have to take care of us women who are powerless! ”

"Boss, don't say that. I'm a small business, and I've been doing it for a few months, and today's business is so-so. Boss Wu said as he personally served tea and water to Fei'er. Fei'er picked a clean table and sat down, watching this unattractive young man compete with five old men. After so many years on the Fengyue field, she has developed the habit of Fei'er liking to observe words and colors. I saw that the five old men were all on full alert, but the young man looked very relaxed, as if the victory or defeat was under his control. That kind of confident look can only be revealed by those who have the strength.

"It turns out that the proprietress also likes to play chess?" Boss Wu looked at her preoccupied and interjected and asked.

Fei'er asked casually, "Did you invite this young man to support you on the scene?" ”

"Where, this young man's name is Bai Ling, and he asked me for a pot of good Tieguanyin before, but when it came time to check out, he said that he had no money. So how could I possibly let him go? A pot of Tieguanyin costs a few taels of silver. Later, he said that as long as I find the best five chess players in Yangzhou City and play with them at the same time, I will definitely attract a lot of spectators, and business will definitely be very good at that time. As soon as I heard that this method worked, I agreed. Hehe, I didn't expect this kid to really have a hand, it's been a few hours, and these gentlemen, who are usually called chess masters, can't do anything to him. Not to mention a few taels of silver, in these few hours, I have earned more silver than I have earned on a few days on weekdays. Boss Wu told the ins and outs vividly.

Fei'er said with a smile: "I think this little brother's strength is much higher than them, if it weren't for taking care of your business, I would have solved them a long time ago." ”

Guo Bailing seemed to hear what she said, smiled at her, and then began to play his chess.

Fei'er shook her hand and put a silver ingot on the table, and said, "Boss Wu, I want to talk to you about something." ”

Boss Wu stared at the ingots and drooled: "As long as I can do it, I will do it." ”

"It's very simple, I want to ask this boy to win a few of them, and then go back to Liulianfang with me to teach my girl to play chess."

Boss Wu was embarrassed: "It's not that I refuse to promise you, this son is not my person, as long as he earns back those few taels of silver for me." Now that the money has been earned, I have no more to do with him. ”

Fei'er pushed the gold ingots in front of Boss Wu and said, "As long as Boss Wu agrees to me, whether he follows me or not, I have my own way." ”

Boss Wu quickly put the gold ingot treasure into his arms and said happily: "The boss lady is really refreshing. ”

I heard the cheers sound again, and it turned out that all five chess players had already thrown their chess and conceded defeat. When the spectators gradually dispersed, Fei'er came to Guo Bailing and saluted: "Mr. Guo has really admired him for a long time." ”

Guo Bailing hugged his fists and said: "The girl is polite, I listened to the girl just now, and it seems that she also has a certain opinion on Go before speaking." I would like to ask offensively, where is the girl from? ”

Fei'er burst out laughing and said, "How do I know what Go." It's just that I watched Mr. play chess just now, his demeanor is calm, and his command is determined, how can an idle person have such a demeanor? Therefore, it was concluded that Mr. Chess's chess skills must be far superior to them. ”

Guo Bailing said modestly: "The girl is really awarded, this is just a small skill of carving insects, why worry about it." On the contrary, girl, your eyes are like torches, just watching, you can say it, it's really rare. ”

"Oh, it's going to be dark when we're so much boasting. To make a long story short, I am not to be hidden, I am the proprietress of the lingering workshop, because my girl is not good at chess, and there is no good gentleman professor, I am afraid that the Oiran competition during the Qixi Festival will be lost, so I want to ask Mr. for advice. ”

Sure enough, when Guo Bailing heard that Fei'er was a girl in the Qinglou and asked him to teach her, she hesitated.

Fei'er saw that he had the intention of prevaricating, and immediately burst into tears, took out a handkerchief and pretended to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said a little sadly: "Sir, do you think that we Qinglou women are naturally low?" Is it undignified to talk to us? After a slight pause, he sighed again: "Alas! But this is also right, so as not to tarnish the name of the gentleman. ”

Guo Bailing didn't expect Fei'er to say this, so she waved her hand again and again: "No, no, please girl, don't misunderstand." ”

Phil watched him move, and began to try to convince him with one of her quick mouths. Sure enough, watching her tearful performance, Guo Bailing thought for a long time and finally nodded.

Guo Bailing said to Fei'er: "Miss Fei'er, it's okay to teach chess here, but you must find a clean place that is not disturbed by people, in addition, what you usually do, it's my freedom to go there, you can't interfere with me." This is easy to do, Fei'er didn't hesitate and agreed to him directly.

Fei'er arranged for him and Yuanyuan to go to the courtyard behind the Lingering Square to play chess. Guo Bailing is indeed a master of chess, and Yuan Yuan has grown in chess skills after learning from him for a few days. Fei'er was very happy to hear the news, and served him with good food and wine every day. I also tried my best to meet all the requests he made. Guo Bailing is really a decent gentleman, and he has no deviant behavior towards Yuanyuan, and after teaching a day's lessons, he goes out and still lives in the inn where he used to live at night. Fei'er admires his cleanliness and tries to make it easier for him.
