Chapter 8: Something Happened to the Shop
"Grandma, my hundreds of jars of wine...... It's all ruined! ”
The owner of the brewery sat on the ground and wept bitterly.
Zhu Dongyan has a weak personality and lives in a simple place, when has he ever seen this kind of battle?
Seeing him crying profusely, she clenched her veil tightly and asked worriedly, "Have you sent someone to invite the old lady?" ”
The maid replied yes, wishing Dongyan a little peace of mind, and persuaded: "Shopkeeper Wang, don't cry, sit down and talk slowly." ”
was persuaded by her like this, and the shopkeeper Wang cried even more sadly.
"That's the savings of most of my life, and my family depends on that winery...... Grandma, this is going to kill me. ”
Zhu Dongyan was at a loss, and crumpled the handkerchief in his hand.
"Heavenly lord," cried the king's shopkeeper on the ground, "why didn't you take the lives of my family?" ”
Outside the door, a soft female voice came.
"God doesn't care about this, it's the king of Yama who takes people's lives."
Ruan Si helped Mrs. Yan to walk in, and the shopkeeper Wang cried even more fiercely when he saw the old man.
Mrs. Yan said: "The old body and ears are back, no matter what, what happened to your shop, and tell the second young grandmother to go." ”
Shopkeeper Wang was stunned for a moment and looked up at Ruan Si.
Seeing that she was only fourteen or fifteen years old, she was born delicate and bright, and at first glance she knew that she was a pampered young lady.
He barely stopped crying, and said with a hesitant face: "Old lady, I'm afraid that the young lady can't be the master of this matter." ”
Old Madam Yan didn't say a word, shook Zhu Dongyan's hand, and only looked at Ruan Si.
Ruan Si understood and said with a smile: "It's not clear here, I'll go with you and take a look in your shop." ”
The Yan family's shop is located in the most lively part of the city, and the wine shop of the shopkeeper Wang is located there.
Pedestrians on the streets today either cover their noses with their sleeves or sniff vigorously, eager to inhale the smell of wine in the street.
Although Ruan Si rarely drinks alcohol, there are many dart masters at home, and she has also smelled a lot of wine.
The Wang family's wine is long and rich, and she knows that this wine is not bad when she smells it, and it is no wonder that the Wang shopkeeper's business is booming, and he rented the shop for several years as soon as he rented it.
Ruan Si went to the winery and saw that the shop was already in a mess.
Several rows of shelves on the jars were pushed to the ground, and the jars were shattered, and the wine on the ground was almost past the uppers of the shoes.
The tears that the shopkeeper Wang had finally stopped fell again.
Ruan Si had no choice but to call out a guy and ask him what had happened.
"It's all the sins of Naja Dashan!" The guy covered his face and choked up, "He brought a few family members here, and smashed my store without saying a word." ”
"Jia Shan......" Ruan Si couldn't help frowning.
The man said, "The little ones couldn't stop them, and they beat them, and they threatened to smash all the bad liquor in the store." ”
Hearing this, the shopkeeper Wang felt even more aggrieved.
"Second young grandmother, my old lady knows best, our Wang family is honest people."
"When have I ever sold a drop of bad wine? My winery has been open for so many years, don't repeat customers who come to buy wine still don't know? ”
Ruan Si asked, "Has the Jia family come to your wine shop to buy wine?" ”
The guy patted his head and said, "The welcoming building opened by the Jia family in Dongshi only bought a batch of wine from here a few days ago. ”
The shopkeeper swore an oath: "I use my head as a guarantee that there will be no problems with the wine sold by my family." ”
The guy also said: "There are many restaurants and restaurants in the county, and they all take wine from my house, and no one has ever come to the door." ”
Ruan thought for a moment and asked, "Has the shop been counted?" I don't know how much there is to say that there are two or three hundred jars of wine, and I don't know what the loss is. ”
Speaking of this, the shopkeeper Wang's face was like ashes, and he howled: "It's all smashed." ”
"Did you send someone to report to the official?"
Shopkeeper Wang shook his head and said, "Second young grandmother, this Jia Dashan has long been riding on the neck of the county master to and pee." ”
The gang continued worriedly: "If we report to the official, we won't be casually charged with being beaten on the board, and it will be our butt that will be beaten." ”
Ruan Si was helpless, went out and looked up, and saw that the surrounding shops were lined up, and it was very lively.
Seeing that it was getting late, Ruan Si said, "You first transfer the important money and silver account books, and I will send a few people from the Yan family to help you clean up." ”
Alcohol was spilled all over the shop, and if you were to accidentally walk in the water, the entire street would be destroyed.
Shopkeeper Wang caught up with her and cried: "The second young lady has also seen the tragic situation of my family, and I am afraid that I will not be able to pay this month's rent." ”
"I'll go and tell the old lady that when this side is cleaned up, you can come to Yan's house again another day."
When Ruan Si left, Shopkeeper Wang was still hugging and crying.
She was thinking about the shop, and before accompanying Yan Yingzhou to the banquet on the second day, she was still absent-minded.
The silver bottle combed a flying bun for her, embellished it with a little jade, and said with a smile: "What does Miss think?" ”
Jin Ling'er cleaned up the jewelry next to her and muttered: "It's too plain, so many beautiful jewelry, but it's a pity that the young lady doesn't like to wear it." ”
Ruan Si came back to his senses and looked at the bronze mirror, "Jin Ling'er, take that golden step and shake it." ”
Jin Ling'er was overjoyed, and hurriedly took the step to shake the hairpin for her.
The red gold phoenix mouth holds a thumb-sized pink bead, and the tassels below are decorated with coral beads like blood droplets, and the grace is very bright.
The silver bottle was surprised: "Miss has changed sex now, and she actually likes luxury things?" ”
"Not really." Ruan Si smiled, "But most of the people I want to see are only disrespectful to clothes and not to people." ”
At night, when the candlelight shone on, Mrs. Xun was really dazzled by the shaking of the golden step.
She was also polite to Ruan Si, a good sister, and swept away the contemptuous attitude when she first entered the door.
Xun County Ling sighed: "Xiao Yan, where can I, the county official, screw the current management?" Don't blame me, take a few days off, and accompany your newlywed wife. ”
"That's it," Mrs. Xun said with a smile, "I heard that you went to hunt for thieves without even entering the cave room, and you really wronged my sister." ”
As she spoke, Mrs. Xun took Ruan Si's hand and looked at her carefully by the candlelight.
"Tsk, Xiao Yan is so blessed, I can't find a second girl in the entire Qinghe County, and half of your daughter-in-law can be beautiful."
Xun Xian Ling raised his glass and said, "Come on, let's have a drink first." ”
The maid on the side stepped forward to pour wine, but when she picked up the pot and poured it down, the spout only dripped a few drops of wine for half a day.
"Bastard, I said I was going to have dinner tonight, and you don't know how to buy wine to add it."
The maid was so frightened that she quickly knelt down and explained, "Master, the Wang Ji Wine Shop is closed today, and the servants didn't buy wine when they went out. ”
Mrs. Xun persuaded: "Okay, what are you doing with your subordinates?" Xiao Yan: They are not outsiders. ”
Xun Xian Ling smiled at this time: "Fortunately, Xiao Yan knows who I am, and if I change others, I can't poke my backbone and say that I am stingy." ”
There are mostly vegetarian dishes on the table, and there is only one pot of stewed chicken. Xun County Ling cherished his wife, and pulled the chicken leg to his wife as soon as he came.
Mrs. Xun is also virtuous and considerate, and has already carried another chicken leg into her husband's bowl.
Ruan Si and Yan Yingzhou glanced at each other, and each ate silently for a long time.
After the meal, Mrs. Xun ordered someone to take down the meal, brought a plate of melon seeds, grabbed a handful and gave it to Ruan Si and said, "I have something to tell my sister." ”
"The family surnamed Hu in the west of the city, the family is engaged in small business, and his daughter will marry in Chiliu County next month."
She spit out the skin of melon seeds and said, "That day in Dongshi, Miss Hu saw your sedan chair style and went back to sit noisily. ”
Ruan Si smiled: "It just so happens that my sedan chair was bought by my father, and no one used it when I threw it in the warehouse." ”
"Hey," Mrs. Xun shook her head, "how can you sit for her for nothing?" Lai always has to ask for a few pennies to be a lottery head, and then be happy. ”
Ruan Si smiled helplessly.
Mrs. Xun's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Sister, look, is this going to happen?" ”
