Chapter 50: Madame spares her life
Liu Qing didn't bring wine this time, but came to the restaurant yesterday with a big bag of money given to him by Yu Hai.
There are not many people eating in the restaurant, a few flies are flying around on the table, a few small guys and the cook are standing at the counter and chatting energetically, the boss hangs his head and props up on the counter in front, too, there are only a few tables of guests in such a huge restaurant, and no one can lift their spirits, no wonder the boss himself went to the door yesterday to "perform" to earn some pocket money.
Liu Qing just carried his front foot into the door, and without waiting for the little guy to greet the boss, he rushed out to greet him, "Guest officer, what are you eating?" After speaking, a few small people hurriedly wiped the table and wiped the table, and the one who took the bowl and chopstick took the dish, and beckoned Liu Qing to come and serve together.
Liu Qing smiled and shook his head: "I'm not here to eat." Dare to ask the store's name. ”
The boss lowered his mouth, stared at Liu Qing with his eyes and blinked a few times, raised his eyebrows, his feet shook a few times inadvertently, and said impatiently: "What's the point of not eating?" Our store is very busy, but I don't have the time to chat with you. The little guy next to him also lost his courteous appearance, and he didn't bother to say anything and went back to chatting.
The few tables eating next to him were watching the excitement on the side, and some voices reached Liu Qing's ears: "I'm afraid I'm not here to eat white food, how can I have time to ask this and that." ”
"In addition to the nobles, how can you still eat enough food these years? White food is also excusable. ”
"Silence, Luoyang realm also dares to talk nonsense? I'm afraid it's not that I've been idle for too long! ”
"What's the matter? You're a little bolder! ”
"Don't you hear that a few days ago, in the palace in the north of Luoyang, the uncle of the ten permanent servants was beaten to death with a stick!"
"There is such a thing!! Who is so bold! Well played! Castration damn it! ”
"I'll tell you something, why are you so loud! That's all I can say here! ”
The boss also listened to something, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop the two, and said with a smile: "Two, don't talk about the country, don't talk about the country, the small shop still wants to continue!" ”
The timid pointed at the other person and cried and laughed: "Shopkeeper, don't blame me, it's really that this guy is too bold, he dares to say anything, don't say anything that is not conducive to the unity and friendship of the Han Dynasty, he doesn't understand this truth!" I'm mad at me! ”
Liu Qing pulled the boss over and said sincerely: "Shopkeeper, dare to ask your surname?" ”
The boss suddenly became angry, and glanced at Liu Qing fiercely: "I said why are you entangled!" Do you think I have business in this shop? If you want to eat for nothing, please go elsewhere, send off guests, send off guests. ”
Liu Qing immediately glared back, snorted, and slammed the table, startling everyone and looking over here.
He held his tone, glared at the boss and said: "My son has taken a fancy to your small shop, and wants to drink without anything, I don't want your store to be so ignorant, send off customers, okay, I hope you don't regret it!" He immediately walked out on his feet.
It's okay not to say this, but when I said it, the store and everyone in the store were frightened, and the two people who spoke before hurriedly ran out without finishing the dishes, caught up with Liu Qing, and apologized vigorously: "Childe is less strange, Childe is less strange, the words of the right talent are all our nonsense, I hope Gongzi will not go to my heart." "After all, in this era, honesty and filial piety are emphasized, who would fake their identity?
The shopkeeper saw that Liu Qing was gentle and elegant, and his tone of voice was even more unusual, and he took a closer look at the piece of jade on his neck that was also priceless, and he was also frightened.
Liu Qing drank the wine handed over, looked at the honest and terrified boss in front of him, and said disdainfully: "At this time, are you willing to tell me your name?" ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly smiled and nodded: "Little brother Li Ziming, from Lujiang, Yangzhou." ”
"Li Ziming?"
"Yes, yes, yes"
"The second class of three years?"
The store doesn't know what the second class of the third year is, but only one strength is yes. This time it was Liu Qing's turn to be surprised, didn't he meet a fellow traveler again? Also traveled to a place? Then he asked solemnly: "Palace jade liquor?" ”
The shop still said "yes yes yes", and then seemed to understand whether he understood or not: "Childe, I don't have palace jade liquor in this small shop, but other wines are a must in Luoyang, I dare to say second, no one dares to call it first!" ”
Liu Qing put his mind at ease, thinking that I would dare to be the first, and asked: "Shopkeeper, I haven't seen anything else, your ability to talk big and boast is a must, if it is the first in Luoyang, I am afraid that your store will already be overcrowded!" ”
The shopkeeper sneered and said, "Childe, you also heard it just now, how can this world still ...... Alas. Huh? Childe, you just said that you want to take down the small shop, but is it true? Do you still count? ”
Liu Qing shrugged his nose and nodded seriously: "My son's words are true, of course they count!" ”
The shopkeeper is a businessman, wealth comes first, the world is chaotic, and he is afraid that Liu Qing will release the empty cannon or have any other thoughts, so he pretended to ask casually: "Dare to ask Gongzi's surname?" The younger brother of the Luoyang family has heard of one or two, and it is good to visit one or two when the time comes. ”
shrewd, but shrewd, much older than Liu Qing, a little brother shouted, there are a lot of temptations. Liu Qing leaned in and said, "Do you dare to listen to it?" ”
"Want to hear it? Oh well, my surname is Liu. ”
"What else Liu? No! It's the same Liu who is today! ”
The boss swallowed a few saliva in a row, gritted his teeth, his legs were weak in fright, but he still didn't stand up, his body leaned back, and his butt smashed on the ground, I don't know if it was hot or what, his hair was stuck to his head with sweat, his eyes blinked faster than his heartbeat, and he knelt in front of Liu Qing as soon as he came back to his senses. A few little guys were about to come over, but they were stopped by Liu Qing, he personally helped this Li Ziming up, and said softly: "Have you thought of anything?" Don't keep it quiet, or ......"
Li Ziming's face, hands, and nose were full of beads of sweat, and he only felt that his heartbeat at this moment was the fastest since he was born, and his heart was only a mess, he thought that the son of a dignitary family had sent some money, this is good, get a surname Liu out, people said that it was not another Liu, it was "that" Liu, what should I do now? He replied again and again: "Oh." Here. ”
Liu Qing saw that he was extremely nervous, his hands were trembling, not only his hands, but even his whole body was trembling, and he kept swallowing saliva, his eyes flickered and erratic, and he immediately patted him on the shoulder, but before he could speak, Li Ziming was like being electrified, his whole body trembled, and he knelt down again, and said in his mouth: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”
Liu Qing also had no choice, grabbed him, and whispered: "If you look like this again, let others see what clues, you know what the consequences are!" ”
As soon as this statement came out, it was really good, at least on the surface, he looked like a normal person.
Only then did Liu Qing pull him aside and continue: "...... What do you think? Store? Huh! Huh! ”
Stretched out his hand and shook it in front of him, but there was still no response, Liu Qing was anxious, kicked it, this Li Ziming was about to kneel down again, and said bluntly: "Little brother, little brother, I didn't hear clearly, I didn't hear clearly"
Liu Qing grabbed him and said again: "If you can't hear clearly, I'll pull you out and cut you, I said, I have a fancy to your store, how about so much money?" My identity is inconvenient, you help me manage it, and the money I earn is thirty-seven. ”
Li Ziming only heard something to pull himself out and cut him, but he didn't listen to the next sentence, and said again and again: "Okay, good." ”
Liu Qing was taken aback, the ancients talked about business so happily? The price is not cut? He pulled this plum and signed the deed.
After signing his name, Li Ziming sat on the chair and did not say anything for a long time.
"At that time, the store seemed to have lost its soul, just sitting motionless at the table."
"yes, it scared the hell out of us. Isn't Mo being tricked? ”
"It started when I met the guest, and I knelt down, and I was good, and I signed the deed. I don't know if that person really knows any kind of magic, I think the store looks like he has lost his soul. ”
This is an interview with Mrs. Li to several staff members in the store afterwards.
"What can I do about this?" Mrs. Li was anxious.
"Madam, I have heard that once a person is frightened or falls into an evil spirit, he will return to his soul when he is frightened by something he is usually afraid of."
"Oh? Then what do you say Ziming is most afraid of? ”
"The shopkeeper is naturally most afraid of you, Mrs., every time you come, the shopkeeper is so scared that he doesn't know where to hide, and every time he pretends to be sick and lies in the hospital, we are not allowed to tell you."
Mrs. Li was furious, her face was red, her eyes were blazing, and she gave Li Ziming a hard slap with a "snap", and shouted: "Every time I see you, I am sick!" It turned out that it was all a lie to me! Every time I want to find a cure for you, the famous doctors in Luoyang have searched all over it! You have no conscience! ”
Li Ziming immediately jumped up and shouted, "Madame, spare your life!" Madame spare her life! After glaring at a few more small guys, the rest of the people hurriedly left, and closed the door before leaving.
There were only two people left in the house, Mrs. Li was crying like pear blossoms and rain, and she couldn't stop, Li Ziming took his wife into his arms, didn't mention anything about pretending to be sick, and touched his back with kind words and comforted: "Madam, madam, hey, my good lady!" You know me, I've never had you alone in my heart, but my body can't bear it. I'm afraid that I thought about it myself, and it wasn't until my wife came that I realized that the guy must be a treacherous and cunning person, using the royal family's reason to trick me into this shop! ”
Mrs. Li stopped crying, looked at Li Ziming with tender eyes, and helped him straighten his sweat-soaked sleeves: "He has such courage?" The royal family also dares to pretend? ”
Li Ziming slapped the table and raised his majesty: "What's not to dare to do?" A few days ago, someone pretending to be an uncle was arrested. ”
"What then? You didn't sign the deed, did you? ”
"Signed, he is very bluffing, no matter who he is, he will be bullied." Li Ziming skimmed his face, not wanting to lose face and find an excuse to excuse himself.
Mrs. Li is smart and clever, and she has been in love with her family for a long time, so she understands what is going on, she laughs secretly in her heart, and she doesn't poke it out on her lips, but just says: "I don't believe this person is so powerful?" Even my husband was deceived by him! It's really damn tight! Tomorrow, you and I will meet him together, and we will definitely get the store back, you idiot, how can the only store in the house say that it will be sold? ”
"By the way, what's the matter with you pretending to be sick? Avoiding me? ”
"Madame...... Madame spare!? ”
"Spare your life, hum, I won't let you go today."
"Wait, wait, ma'am, I haven't unbuttoned my shirt yet!?"
