Chapter 353: A Story Within a Story

Uncle Ye Pai unintentionally leaked his mouth, making Ye Feifei wonder if he and Uncle Zhang Buzhan had some grievances.

Since Ye Pai has heard Chen Yi's story, he should also know the ins and outs of the matter, which may be a breakthrough.

After thinking for a while, Ye Feifei smiled and said, "Uncle, can you tell me the story of Chen Yi?" ”

"Of course you can, you kid has found the right person, I remember that story, I can tell it to you."

Uncle Ye Pai picked up the water cup and took a sip of water, coughed, cleared his throat, and gave Ye Feifei the story he heard that night.

…………

Chen Yi is the owner of the Beichen Tea Pavilion in the gifted city, and when he was young, his wife ran away with someone, leaving his daughter to depend on him.

His daughter was raised by him, and her growth process was smooth sailing, and their life was quite passable.

It stands to reason that at his age, he can enjoy his family in peace, but fate played a big joke on him.

His subordinates were on a horse-drawn carriage to deliver goods in the next city, and when they passed by a certain bridge, the horses were frightened and plunged into the drowning river with the carriage...... Two of them, drowned!

If someone is injured or injured, then the problem is serious, and the victim's family is naturally indomitable, and it can be regarded as a loss of bankruptcy.

In this disaster, all their assets were left with the Beichen Tea Pavilion.

Everyone is human, and naturally they also need to eat, so the purchase and sale of goods can only be handed over to the two of them.

The business of the two has been sluggish, and they can only barely make ends meet, which makes Chen Yi worry about his head.

On a rainy day, a shopkeeper came to the Beichen Tea Pavilion.

"Who are you looking for?" Chen Yi walked over slowly.

The shopkeeper was very polite and said with a smile: "Are you Chen Yi's old boss?" ”

"It's me, I don't know ...... you" Chen Yi had no impression of the person in front of him at all.

"I'm from the State Guest House, our boss invites a banquet tonight, and I hope the old boss will have a banquet."

"I don't know the shopkeeper very well, how can you invite me to go?"

"Feelings are all drunk, and please be sure to appreciate your face...... Otherwise, I won't be able to go back. The shopkeeper had a sad face, and his eyes were full of pleading.

"Well, I'll go to the banquet in the evening, you want to go back."

"Thank you, old club, there is still something to do in the kitchen, so I will leave first."

Arching his hand at Chen Yi, the shopkeeper took an oil-paper umbrella and slowly stepped into the rain.

After the shopkeeper left, Chen Yi shouted to the side of the pavilion: "Cuihua, I will go to the banquet in the evening, remember to lock the door." ”

On the side of the pavilion, a sweet female voice came: "My daughter knows, my father can go with confidence." ”

The Beichen Tea Pavilion is not small, but it is just a residence built in a corner with wood, and it can only shelter from the wind and rain.

In the evening, Chen Yi held an oil-paper umbrella and carried a little gift in the direction of the State Guest House.

When I came to the State Guest House, the door was halfway open, and the shopkeeper was dozing off the door.

"Little Er, where is the shopkeeper?"

Chen Yi's voice echoed in his ears, and the shopkeeper woke up suddenly, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "The old owner is here, the shopkeeper is waiting in the back room, please ...... quickly."

Chen Yi did not doubt him, and followed the shopkeeper into the inn.

The shopkeeper of the guest house was a middle-aged fat man, with an amiable appearance, and he didn't see any danger.

Seeing Chen Yi coming, the fat man naturally hurriedly greeted him, and then invited Chen Yi to sit in the seat together, and the shopkeeper also left the back room with interest.

"I have heard the name of Chen Yidong's family for a long time, and I am honored to meet you today."

"Where is it, it all depends on the help of peers, dare to ask what the shopkeeper is called?"

Chen Yi also knew the politeness, and quickly turned the question back.

"Under Li Qiu, you and I are the same age, if you don't dislike it, I would like to call you brother." The fat man obviously came prepared, and he smiled and pulled into the relationship between the two.

"Where is the shopkeeper, I will call you Brother Li with a cheeky face, and I hope you don't dislike it...... You and I hit it off at first sight, don't you know what's going on today? ”

Chen Yigui is the owner of the Beichen Tea Pavilion, and "speaking" is even better, so he changed the topic lightly.

"Well, I'm ashamed...... Come on, come on, let's talk while eating. ”

didn't say anything serious, but Li Qiu avoided the topic, and Chen Yi was not easy to brush off the other party, so he could only put up with the content of the question for the time being.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Chen Yi is also a little upset, and his mind is also a lot confused...... On the other hand, Li Qiu is still in good spirits as if he hadn't drunk.

As soon as the wine was served, Li Qiu laughed and asked in a low voice, "Brother Chen, what do you think of my guy?" ”

"Nice people...... Endure...... It's good......" Chen Yi's tongue widened.

"My guy is responsible, tactful, and gets a lot of tips from guests every day...... I see that your Cuihua is not very old, so it is better to let the two of them meet...... If both of them like it, it will not be a good thing. ”

Seeing the poor dagger, as soon as Li Qiu said this, Chen Yi's wine suddenly woke up most of the time.

"I'll just say, Brother Li, you and I don't know each other, why did you invite me to the banquet...... It turns out that today is the drunkard's intention not to drink, but to tell the shopkeeper the matchmaker...... "Chen Yi smiled, his tone was full of slow mockery.

"Alas, brother, where are you talking, isn't it that the child who accidentally saw your family Cuihua and couldn't give up all day long, brother, I have the cheekiness to mention it, why are you still in a hurry?" Li Qiu jokingly moved his burden and took Chen Yi's army instead.

Chen Yi glanced at the wine glass with complicated eyes, and asked slowly, "My brother hasn't married yet, right?" ”

"Nope." Li Qiu shook his head.

"Why don't you get married?"

"I didn't meet the right one."

"I think you are also a shopkeeper, 'starting a family' is the top priority, since you have 'established a business', why not 'start a family'? Is this worthy of our ancestors and ancestors? ”

Chen Yi caught a loophole, and all kinds of hats were covered on his head, and Li Qiu's face was also a little unsightly.

"Brother Chen, you are serious, love is free and equal, how can you start a family if you don't meet the right person? That is irresponsible to our ancestors and fathers...... What's more, Xiao Er and Cuihua are only meeting, and it will not affect their decision, and the decision is still in their hands. ”

"Ridiculous!" The first time he heard such a theory, Chen Yi immediately changed color.

"Don't be so absolute in everything, Brother Chen, think about it carefully, and then come to me when you figure it out...... Little two, send off! ”

Without waiting for Chen Yi to reply, Li Qiu left the back room, and the shopkeeper walked in from the door.

"Chen Dongjia, please ......"

Chen Yi glanced at the shopkeeper, got up and walked outside the inn, but his body was a little shaky.

The shopkeeper hurriedly followed, trembling like a bodyguard.

The two of them held oil-paper umbrellas and walked in the rainy night, without speaking all the way, and the atmosphere was quite awkward.

Approaching the Beichen Tea Pavilion, Chen Yi suddenly stopped.

The shopkeeper was a little confused, but he also quickly paused his body.

"What do you think, what is love?" Chen Yi asked a question.

"When you see her, that's love." The shopkeeper said without thinking.

"I see...... Go back! ”

Chen Yi didn't take care of the shopkeeper anymore, and slowly walked into the Beichen Tea Pavilion.

The shopkeeper's face changed for a while, and he walked back in a daze.

What is the dumb riddle that the old man plays...... He seems to know the answer!

……

This is the end of the story.

Ye Feifei looked at Ye Pai who was drinking water in a daze, not knowing what to say.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, he also saw the confusion on Ye Pai's face...... That was when he talked about "Li Qiu", his expression changed in the slightest!

"Uncle, have you heard of that Li Qiu anywhere?"

"You're so clever...... I did hear that there was a graduate more than 10 years ago who had the same name and surname as the shopkeeper, but he was not fat. ”

"I see......"
