Chapter 90: A Vignette
Su Qing thought as he padded it with a towel and poured out the boiled medicine. Then he went out into the street, found a snack seller, and bought some candied fruit from him.
"Bah, it's so bitter."
Back in the room, Su Qing watched Wanjun drink the decoction, Wanjun was pouted bitterly, and her eyebrows were even more tangled, Su Qing saw her small appearance, felt a little funny, and secretly laughed unkindly.
Wanjun was so bitter, looking at him with a look full of resentment. Su Qing watched her expression change, and she was a little distracted for a while. [Over-narrated]
A quick knock on the door pulled his thoughts back, and Su Qing remembered to take out the snack he had just bought and handed it to her.
Wanjun looked at the candied fruit in Su Qing's hand, and couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.
"Host, the auspicious time has arrived, and the guests are waiting for you to cut the ribbon." The shopkeeper hurriedly said.
Su Qing looked at Wanjun, the fever had subsided, but her face was still red, and she was still not at ease.
"Let's go, don't miss the auspicious time." Wanjun said, ready to get up and freshen up, "I feel much better, I'll accompany you to greet the guests later." ”
"Wanjun, you have a good rest, I'll go back when I go." Su Qing was still a little worried, but the shopkeeper was urging, so he could only reluctantly cut the ribbon.
Strings of firecrackers are raised high with bamboo poles and lit at the door, and the sound of crackling firecrackers is accompanied by the lion dance at the door, and the lively atmosphere reaches its peak in the sound of firecrackers. Su Qing did it step by step according to the requirements of the master of ceremonies, did not lose etiquette, and the ribbon cutting went smoothly.
As soon as the ribbon cutting ended, Wanjun also freshened up and came out of the room to help take care of the guests.
There were too many people in the store, Xiao Er was a little busy and couldn't bear it, and he was even more grateful to see Wanjun come out to help.
Wanjun is a good worker, adding tea and pouring water, cleaning the dishes, and never dragging mud and water.
Su Qing looked at Wanjun's busy figure, and her heart was even warmer, how can I, Su Qing, be able to marry such a virtuous woman in my lifetime, go to the hall, go down to the kitchen, life is like this, what more can a husband ask for.
Looking at her quick service to the guests, Su Qing felt a little distressed, and hurriedly stepped forward to take the rag in Wanjun's hand.
"Wanjun, be obedient, hurry back to your room to rest."
"Don't worry, I'm really fine, it's okay. There are a lot of customers at this time, so you can let me stay and help take care of the business. ”
"Be obedient, hurry back and rest, or I'll be angry."
Wanjun had no choice but to put down the rag in her hand.
"That's good, obedient, I'll send you back to rest."
"Okay." Wanjun's heart was warm, and she lowered her head a little shyly, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.
Back in the room, Su Qing served Wanjun to lie down and rest like a child, and tucked her feet.
The soup on the table was not yet cold, so Su Qing served another bowl for Wanjun and handed it to her with a few pieces of meat. Looking at Wanjun's eating, Su Qing felt pleasing to the eye.
"Boss, there's an accident in the store, you should hurry up and take a look." The shopkeeper ran over panting, and said breathlessly while wiping his sweat.
"Wanjun, I'll go over and take a look, put the dishes and chopsticks there after you finish eating, sleep well, I'll come back and clean up, don't worry about me." After Su Qing finished explaining, he followed Xiao Er out.
Su Qing didn't say anything, and Wanjun could guess what was probably going on. She knew that Su Qing must have the ability to deal with the small episodes she encountered in front of her, so she was not very worried.
Wanjun savored Su Qing's cooking, thinking that she must get better soon, so that she could help him take care of his business and not let him be distracted by himself.
Su Qing hurried downstairs under the guidance of the shopkeeper, and before he got downstairs, he heard a commotion below.
He looked down the handrail of the wooden staircase, and two muscular men with beards and fleshy faces were moving their hands and feet to a girl who was helping in the store.
Su Qing hurriedly ran downstairs and rushed forward with an arrow step.
"What are you going to do?"
The two big men didn't react to Su Qing's appearance, they still looked at the girl with a lewd face, and the groping pig hand was not idle, waiting for an opportunity to put it on the girl's hand.
The girl was originally very disgusted with these two men, but because of her feelings, she didn't want to cause a bad influence in the store, so she just reminded again and again, "Guest officer, this is a teahouse, please respect yourself." “
The two big men didn't seem to hear it, and seemed to be annoyed by the girl's refusal, and their thick and fat palms rubbed directly against the girl's face.
The girl couldn't bear it anymore, so she picked up the tea bowl on the table and threw it directly at the two shirtless and meaty men like pigs' heads.
"Hurry up and get down on your knees and admit our mistakes!"
The two men were beaten face, how could they give up, instantly lifted the table, clamped the girl's wrist with his big hand, and insisted that she kneel down and pour tea to admit her mistake.
"In broad daylight, you are so shameless!"
Su Qing on the side was itchy by the roots of his teeth, his fingers were cracked, he couldn't bear it anymore, he rushed up directly and punched the fat face of the strong man, and took advantage of the other strong man's stunned kung fu to kick him in the stomach.
The guests next to him turned around when they heard the sound of the fight, and when they saw Su Qing fighting for a girl, they felt that Su Qing was a chivalrous person, and some people even simply put down the teacup, rolled up their sleeves and went to help Su Qing.
The scene became lively in an instant, and the two strong men were beaten in a daze, but it was pitiful that Su Qing didn't know martial arts, he could only use brute force, and he was beaten.
"I'm sorry, it was our mistake."
The two big men did not take advantage of it, and the flirtation failed, but provoked the anger of the public, afraid that it would not be able to end, so they could only reluctantly bow their heads to the girl and admit their mistakes, and compensate for all the losses of the teahouse.
The girl was very moved, accepted the apology of the two men, and immediately joined the service to clean the teahouse that had been messed up by the group.
Su Qing saw that the matter was resolved, remembered that Wanjun was still resting in the room, and was afraid that she would be worried, so she hurriedly ran back upstairs to see her.
Wanjun upstairs heard the noisy sound from downstairs, felt that something was wrong, and was secretly worried in her heart, afraid that someone would make trouble in the teahouse.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Wanjun quickly got up from the bed and ran to the door to open the door.
"Ah, what's wrong with you?"
When I opened the door, I saw a face hanging in the colors. Su Qing had multiple abrasions on his face, and he even had nosebleeds.
Wanjun hurriedly welcomed him into the door, and was very distressed to see that he was injured.
Su Qing sat on the edge of the bed and quietly let Wanjun treat her wounds.
"What happened in the store, why are you still injured?" Wanjun asked with concern.
"It's nothing, when I met the troublemakers, I got into a fight with them."
Wanjun wanted to ask something, but Su Qing was silent.
At this time, there was another knock on the door, Su Qing went to answer the door, and it turned out that the dancing girl Wanjun was looking for had arrived.
The dancing girl entered the door, and Shi Shiran saluted Wanjun. Mai Ji raised her head, fair skin, high nose bridge, long eyelashes, exotic eyes, and slightly pursed lips, outlining an extremely beautiful arc.
"Isn't it?"
Su Qing just glanced at Mai Ji lightly, and then projected his gaze on Wanjun.
Wanjun is very satisfied with this Hu Ren Dancing Girl. Dressed in a long pink dress with tassels, the dancing girl rotated with the pace of the dance, revealing her fair and slender ankles, her arms were soft, her whole body was soft and boneless, and her limbs danced to the rhythm of the music, as if she were natural.
Wanjun got out of bed, walked straight to Mai Ji, and told her some rules of the teahouse.
"I'll tell you some of the rules of the Hu people here."
The dancing girl listened carefully, nodding her head as she listened, her big eyes flickering, and her eyes were full of charm.
Wanjun began to dance the girl, although the dance of the Hu people is full of style, but it cannot fully cater to the aesthetic needs of the Han people. In recent days, Wanjun has been thinking about how to improve her dance in order to better play the advantages of the dancing girl's figure and be welcomed by the guests.
Wanjun is wearing a long white dress today, the corners of the skirt are above the knees, and the longest part can reach the ankles.
Wanjun raised her head, the jade necklace on her white neck reflected the snow-like skin, and Su Qing was a little stupid.
"Wanjun is so beautiful today."
The dancing girl on the side had long heard that the boss and the proprietress were in deep love, and it was better to see than to hear, and it was really like this. I'm afraid that the boss is only the woman in front of him, and the other Yingying Yanyan may not be able to enter his eyes at all.
Maihime was very envious. The women of this era are all dependent on men, and their status and honor depend on their husbands. I don't know when I will meet such a lover, and I will live and fly together.
Maihime was a little distracted, her steps were a little messy, and she almost fell accidentally.
"What's wrong with you?"
Wanjun noticed the strangeness of the dancing girl and thought she was tired, so she asked her to rest.
Maihime was very grateful in her heart, and the proprietress did not blame herself for her absent-mindedness.
Maihime sat aside, looking at the boss and the hostess. Su Qing helped Wanjun sit down and rest, went to get a bowl of hot tea for Wanjun, and poured a bowl for herself after Wanjun reminded her.
What a kind and attentive woman. Dancing girls are a very humble profession, and some people even confuse dancing girls with Qinglou women, and they don't think that dancing girls are a profession that sells their art but not their bodies, and they have no respect for them.
As a woman for everyone's amusement, Mai Ji has already experienced the heat and coldness of the world, and Mai Ji, who is often ignored by others, feels respected for the first time. Maihime, who was sitting on the side, blew the hot tea in the tea bowl, and her eyes couldn't help but moisten.
"Xiaoyi, are you uncomfortable, why are your eyes red?" Wanjun noticed her abnormality and hurriedly asked.
"No, it's okay, probably because of the tea soup to the eyes." Mai Ji was a little flustered, a little flattered.
"If you're not feeling well, go back and rest. The change of dance is not something that can be completed in a day or two, and the body is important. ”
"I'm fine, let's move on."
The dancing girl is extremely talented, and she is already proficient in movements after a few practices. Wanjun likes this dancing girl very much, and she is talented.
After rehearsing a few more times, Wanjun felt that she was almost ready to perform on stage, so she asked her to go back to rest.
Sending off the dancing girl, Su Qing accompanied Wanjun home.
Looking at Wanjun who had a busy day, Su Qing couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
Back in the room, Su Qing served Wanjun to take off her headdress and remove her makeup to rest, watching her dance for most of the day, she must have been very tired.
Su Qing helped Wanjun make the bed, did not leave immediately, but helped Wanjun massage and relax her muscles.
"You, you should have a good rest!"
The two of them talked and laughed, Wanjun suddenly remembered the mushroom that she hadn't seen for a long time, and Su Qing said that the mushroom matter was handed over to herself, so that she could rest assured.
Su Qing's massage technique was very comfortable, and soon Wanjun fell asleep, with a satisfied smile on the corner of her mouth.
