Chapter 128: The Tea House
"Shuangshuang girl, you dissipate your anger, he is your brother anyway." Du Ruo hurriedly persuaded.
"I don't have any relatives in this world! Don't bother me! Guan Shuangshuang gritted his teeth, and a pair of apricot eyes were full of determination.
"Xiaoguan, you can go out for a while, take a walk around the street and come back." Du Ruo turned back to him and said.
She is no longer shocked by the fact that Guan Shuangshuang is angry at Xiao Guan now, after all, she was sold into the Qinglou by her biological parents, and her life is really bitter. In a place like a brothel, there are all kinds of people who go there, and she must have suffered a lot.
The tube ran out with tears in her eyes.
Guan Shuangshuang's chest rose and fell angrily, threw the broom in his hand aside, snorted lightly, turned his face and changed his face to a smile: "Let's go on!" When did you say that such a master came to the yamen? ”
"Maybe I just came here these days......" Du Ruo was very calm.
"What did he come to you for? Will you know each other? ”
"It should ...... I don't know! ”
"Then the wooden sign outside you read, 'There is someone in the yamen', I watched him look at it for a long time! I don't need to ask you to mend my clothes, do I? ”
"It should ...... Know? I haven't seen him yet......"
"You'll know next time you see it! He waited a little and then left, but the carriage was still there, and when it got dark, the people in the carriage drove away. "Pipe Shuangshuangdao.
"Oh." Du Ruo nodded, presumably the one named Lou Xi?
Guan Shuangshuang sighed, "If only I had something to do one day, I would like to let that master mediate for me, I am willing to commit myself to him!" With a shyness on her face, she laughed for a while and stopped, and asked Du Ruodao: "Why haven't you seen Su Gongzi come to you these days?" Everyone misses him! couldn't bear his thin skin, and every time he didn't say a few words to him, he didn't care about people. ”
"A gentle scholar, how much has you not been teased enough?" Du Ruo said helplessly.
Guan Shuangshuang looked at her again and laughed, wanting to say goodbye.
"What are you staring at me laughing at?" Du Ruo asked.
"Do you know that Su Gongzi has someone he likes?"
"No, right? There were no female students in the school. ”
Guan Shuangshuang let out a long exclamation.
When she was gone, it took a long time for Xiao Guan to come back from outside, with two tear stains on his face, and a pitiful look, which showed that he was sad.
"Since your sister doesn't want to recognize you, then don't pester her." Du Ruo said to him.
"I will definitely redeem my sister from the Spring Breeze Pavilion!" Although Xiaoguan is angry, what should be insisted on is still insisting.
"You two sisters and brothers have similar tempers." Du Ruo sighed.
Then she was busy with the matter of opening a ready-to-wear store. Whether the location is good or not, whether the place is big or not, is directly related to the quality of the business.
As Yu Shaotang said, she has also been to observe four or five ready-to-wear shops on Yi Street, although it is not as prosperous as Jinfangzhai, but it has also been open for many years, and has already accumulated old customers.
She didn't have much experience, and as for helpers, she didn't have any of them now.
If you want to find a good position on this street, you need to spend a lot of money to set up a shop, she is not financially enough, if she is still working here, the shop is a little smaller, and the location is still biased, which is a headache.
Until it was dark, no one came to her again. Du Ruoxin said, she refused so clearly, presumably Song Ju'an had lost his patience and would not come looking for it again.
There was a sound of talking on the teahouse next to it, and several tea guests went up to the emperor's relatives and relatives to the people of Li to talk non-stop, all of them seemed to be standing on a high place and pointing out the country.
It is clean during the day, it is lively at night, lively next to it, and the Chunfeng Pavilion opposite is also lively. In the middle of nowhere, she is used to it.
After Du Ruo washed the pots and bowls, he walked to the yard and listened carefully to the sound of talking in the teahouse, and said in his heart, do they sell this teahouse? There is an alley on the left that cannot be widened, but this teahouse on the right can be completed if it can be plated!
Thinking of this, she called Xiaoguan, and the two of them went to the teahouse next to them.
I've been in front of me on weekdays, and I've stood in my yard to look at it, but I haven't been in to see it.
After entering, as soon as the owner of the teahouse saw Du Ruo, he greeted with a smile: "I've been a neighbor with you for more than half a year, and I finally came over today!" ”
Du Ruo didn't admit that he was a big man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, wearing linen clothes, a thick belt tied around his waist, and a gray cloth belt on his head.
"Hello boss, I ate too much at night, so I came over to sit for a while and have a cup of tea!" Du Ruo said.
The boss walked ahead of her, wiped the table and chair she was going to sit on, and asked, "What tea does the girl want to drink?" ”
"Don't pick expensive ones, you can watch and make a pot!" Du Ruo said with a smile.
There are always few guests here, and it is estimated that the teahouse is not recruited.
"Okay."
After a while, the tea was served, and the boss picked up the teapot and poured it into the cup for her and the tube, "You guys sit, call me if you have something!" He walked towards the man sitting at the other table.
The people sitting around were talking enthusiastically, all of them looking excited, and the owner of the teahouse walked over and sat down to join in the conversation.
"Wei Guogong has been in power for so many years, and once he loses power, it's really happy!"
"Not really!"
"If you don't do it, you can't do bad things, God has eyes!"
"I heard that he had a goddaughter who entered the palace and became the emperor's favorite concubine, but she couldn't save him?"
"The silver swallowed can be worth a few national treasuries, even if there are beauties around the saint to intercede, it will be difficult to forgive! This is a great event that shakes the foundation of the country! ”
Du Ruo and Xiao Guan listened on the side, and Xiao Guan smiled and said, "Sister Du, do you understand what they say?" ”
Du Ruo nodded slightly, and said in his heart, so the final result of the Meng family's incident is that Wei Guogong will fall into power and investigate everyone?
If nothing like that happened to the Meng family, as Song Ju'an said, it would be impossible for the whole family to escape their lives.
After sitting for a while, it was already late, and although those people were still unsatisfied, they had to settle the account and leave.
"Boss, I have something to tell you." Du Ruo said to the teahouse owner who cleaned up the table.
"The girl said, I'll listen!" He said as he cleaned up.
"I want to ask, do you sell this teahouse?" Du Ruo said.
The teahouse owner looked at her in surprise, "How, how?" Do you want to buy it? Do you think there aren't enough people here? ”
Du Ruo laughed: "I have this plan!" ”
"How much silver can you give?" He asked, wiping his hands.
This time it was Du Ruo's turn to be surprised, "You, how much silver do you want?" ”
He glanced around and hesitated, "Did you see that just now?" Every night there are a few people gagging, all over the world, there is basically no one here during the day, I think you also know what the situation is, I want to be comfortable here, I don't make money, I don't report a false price, sixty taels of silver! ”
Isn't sixty taels of silver a vain price......
Du Ruo was speechless, and Xiao Guan was so frightened that he almost squirted tea.
"It's cheaper, big brother, you also know that I can't make much money guarding that shop!" Du Ruo bargained, "Fifty-five taels!" ”
He waved his hand, "That's not possible, this is also the place where I am around, and I won't sell it if it's less than sixty taels!" ”
"Alright then, I'll think again." Du Ruo stood up and walked away with the small tube.
On the second day, she walked around Yi Street and East Street a few times, walked to the side where she lived, entered the teahouse, and said to the boss: "Fifty-four taels!" I don't have that much money on me. ”
"Not for sale!" The boss waved his hand.
Du Ruo walked out.
In the evening, she walked around again and said to the boss: "Such a small number of people, it seems that your family doesn't expect this teahouse to make money to make a living, I can't do it, I have to make money for my family, and I can only take out fifty-three taels when I go to the street to buy something today!" ”
"Every time you come back, you lose a tael, the money is spent so fast, what do you save for? You woman is so unreliable! The owner of the teahouse said.
Why doesn't he support his family? There are old and young. I don't know what to do if I sell this teahouse!
Du Ruo sighed deeply and turned to leave.
Xiaoguan was very diligent in making two wooden shelves according to her requirements a few days ago, which were used for hanging embroidery threads, and when they were done, they were taken out and put outside the shop to dry.
Du Ruo held half a bottle of sesame oil in one hand and a stick in the other, smearing the sesame oil on the shaft of the wooden frame.
A fat woman dressed in red and green walked past her angrily with a few maids, Du Ruo straightened up and looked at them, and found that the woman had rushed into the Spring Breeze Pavilion with the maids.
There were people on the street who looked at the other side as she did and felt strange.
Soon, she heard a noisy voice coming from the Spring Breeze Pavilion, some shouting, some beating and scolding, and some crying......
She has seen this situation a few times, and it is about the original partner who went to the Qinglou to catch the adulterer.
"Murder! Oh no! Killed! Someone in the Spring Breeze Pavilion ran out and shouted.
Du Ruo stopped moving, a little shocked, and Xiao Guan also ran out of the store and curiously gathered at the door of the Spring Breeze Pavilion.
There were a few more screams in the Spring Breeze Pavilion, probably turning the sky upside down, Du Ruoxin said, this time the traitor has used a knife, and it is too scary.
After a while, someone reported the case, and the people from the yamen came, and it turned out to be Wuxian Ling, who came with the people from the county government, and of course, Song Ju'an.
Seeing him, Du Ruo hurriedly looked away, so he didn't see Song Ju'an's reaction when he saw her.
But who has such a big face and let Wu Dajiang come to deal with it in person?
After they entered the Chunfeng Pavilion, it was temporarily quiet, but there were still people crying, and Du Ruo didn't care about it and continued to apply sesame oil.
Xiao Guan stood at the door of the Spring Breeze Pavilion and looked around, his face turned pale with fright.
Although he was guarded and prevented from entering, he heard his sister's cries and her name being called.
"Sister! Sister! What happened to you?! He stood outside and shouted anxiously.
"What are you shouting?! Get out of here! "A catcher.
"Please, two big brothers, let me in, there is my sister inside!" The little tube begged.
"There are a lot of sisters in it, which one is your sister?" The two catchers laughed and teased him.
There was the sound of a woman beating again, and the little tube could hear it clearly, it was his sister's voice! He was scared and anxious, and took advantage of the fact that the two catchers who were guarding outside were not paying attention, and broke in with a cat's waist.
The two catchers cursed a few words, raised the knives in their hands and warned the onlookers not to get too close.
