Chapter 16: Mr. Storyteller

Pushing open the door, only hearing its voice but not seeing its person, Xu Changshou was stunned at first.

Then I heard the sound of the piano coming from behind the screen in the room. The two girls in the room stepped forward and removed the screen embroidered with plum blossoms.

Suddenly, a pretty woman appeared from behind the screen, squinting her eyes, her jade fingers flicked the cloud-patterned zither, and the gentle sound of the piano was intoxicating, and Xu Changshou couldn't help but be in a daze.

"Mr. Storyteller?"

The woman stopped playing, stood up, and walked slowly towards Xu Changshou.

Xu Changshou was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and looked at the graceful woman in front of him.

The memory of the original owner made Xu Changshou suddenly recall the identity of this person.

Hua Lou Ji, the top brand of Liu Le Fang, so to speak, but unlike those vulgar women outside, this Miss Hua is simply a performer, relying on a singing voice and a refined piano skill to eat.

Another point, as the head of Liu Le Fang, I am fortunate to have the trust of Si Niang and master part of Liu Le Fang's expenses, which is why Xu Changshou sought her to collect debts.

"Girl?"

Xu Changshou turned to whisper.

"Call my sister!"

Hua Lou Ji glanced at Xu Changshou, played with the embroidered fan in her hand, and showed a ...... Crumb emoji! Then he told the maid to go out of the room.

first arranged for Xu Changshou to sit at the round table next to him, poured him a cup of hot tea, and then sat down and looked at him with one hand on his chin.

"Let's get started!"

"What?" Xu Changshou was stunned for a moment, looking at the one in front of him, forehead, with her temples and hair parted, wearing a single dress, her eyes were bright, and she was a little enchanting and innocent?

"Mr. Storyteller?" Hua Lou Ji glanced at Xu Changshou.

"Who?" Xu Changshou turned to a low voice.

I'm here to collect debts, so don't come to this set!

So the story of Beauty and the Beast came to an abrupt end and turned into a war of words between debtors.

Xu Changshou stretched out a hand and aimed at the innocent girl.

Uh-huh, I saw the innocent girl put a hand on Xu Changshou's palm and smiled at him.

"Got hooked on my sister so quickly?"

Xu Changshou threw it off.

I have done several major things in my life, but the most important thing is "If you go to the rich and noble gate, you will first kill the person you like!" ”

chose to make money in terms of funny, and chose ruthlessness in the face of love!

Xu Changshou turned to a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense, give money!" ”

"Okay, you storyteller? If you don't go to your mother to collect debts, what will you do with me? Hua Lou Ji raised the teacup and took two sips, and then complained.

"Besides, why should I give you money?" Hua Lou Ji retorted.

Xu Changshou immediately put down his words, "Miss Lou Ji really doesn't know? ”

"Know what?"

Hua Lou Ji shook her head, looked at Xu Changshou's angry expression and smiled.

Okay, this old woman didn't keep an account for him at all.

"What's more, where is this place, the storyteller, don't you know it, you don't pay for it yourself, but ask me for money?" Hua Lou Ji fanned the fan and snickered.

Xu Changshou was about to leave when Hua Lou Ji suddenly stopped him.

"It's okay to go back in such a hurry, pretty brother, look at your pitiful appearance, give it to you!"

Hua Lou Ji instructed the maid to take some silver taels and handed them to Xu Changshou, who took the silver taels and was about to leave.

"Thank you!"

"It's boring, just say thank you?"

Hualou Ji sighed twice.

"Do you want me to stay and talk to you?" Xu Changshou turned around and sat on the high stool. I'm not good at it, but I can learn it!

looked at the pretty woman in front of me and was fascinated by her charm.

"Mr. Storyteller! When will your book be finished, and what will the prince and the peasant woman do? ”

Hua Lou Ji couldn't say clearly for a while.

"The domineering president and his little wife?" Xu Changshou paused for a moment.

"That's right, this is it!"

Hua Lou Ji thought about it for a while, showing an expectant expression.

Looking at the innocent girl in front of him, Xu Changshou realized that his customer was coming.

"If you want me to write, you need to prepare a pen and paper, and a wooden sign."

Hearing this, Hua Lou Ji instructed the maid to take a few things that Xu Changshou kept saying.

Xu Changshou then used a brush to write words on the wooden plaque.

"Miss Lou Ji, this is called a barrage, a barrage is a copper coin, have you figured it out? When I tell the story, you can spend a copper coin to write down a wooden plaque on which you can ask questions you want to know and write what you want to say. ”

You can't talk in vain! This doesn't take the opportunity to kill her, Xu Changshou thinks so.

It's really not profitable, I'm just a porter who applies modern gadgets to ancient times.

Hua Lou Ji nodded, this woman is not very smart Yazi, Xu Changshou feels that this place can be used as a pilot, and it is not impossible to develop into a storytelling industry chain in the Great Xia Dynasty in the future.

Relying on the many novels he had read in his previous life, Xu Changshou thought that he could make a lot of money, at least he could make extra money, which was better than being a 9-to-5 dart master.

After a while, Xu Changshou felt that he had made a lot of money, provided that his side was already full of wooden signs with so-called barrage written on it.

"What's next? What happened to Mr. President? And his little wife? ”

"Don't be anxious, I want to know what will happen next, and listen to the following breakdown."

Alas! There is no benefit to telling this flower lady, the only benefit is that the money comes quickly!

Xu Changshou finished packing up the wooden card, and then mentioned Hua Lou Ji, ready to mention the account.

"A total of two hundred Wen, Miss Lou Ji, give the money!"

Faced with Xu Changshou's account, Hua Lou Ji reluctantly asked the girl to count him.

Afterwards, Hua Lou Ji was called away by Si Niang, probably because she couldn't get used to seeing her top brand being prostituted for nothing.

"Alas! Another saving for prostitution...... Entertainment Money! ”

Xu Changshou couldn't help but think, there is nothing that can't be solved by white prostitution, if there is, it must be an area that I can't touch.

Compared to the middleman of Liu Le Fang? Xu Changshou is the boss behind the scenes!

After all, it is the top brand of Liu Le Fang, and it is not enough to catch it with only 200 words! Which big brother on the list doesn't have a reward?

Saying goodbye to old friends, and even happier that he earned two hundred extra money, Xu Changshou hummed a little song and left Liule Fang.

Moment,

"Eh, Childe, I see you with peach blossoms on your face, and you have been happy recently! Why not count a hexagram? The fortune teller on the side patted Xu Changshou on the back.

"Come less!" Xu Changshou is very tired of this kind of behavior of pulling customers everywhere, except for the tender model of the club in the middle of the night...... Eh, what are you a fortune teller mixed with muddy waters?

"Old man Qingping Mountain Daoist!"

"I know you!"

Xu Changshou suddenly recalled this person.

"Alas! I didn't expect the old man to be so well-known! ”

Xu Changshou suddenly sold his mother, and what he said was better than what he sang!

"Old man, the marriage you calculated for me a few days ago didn't work at all!"

Xu Changshou asked the Qingping Mountain Daoist with iron bones.

"Childe has been prosperous lately, yes or no?"

Qingping Mountain Daoist asked.

Xu Changshou thought for a moment, it seemed like this! It seems to be making money today, although it is a bit unconscionable, but it is legal to buy and sell!

The man nodded in confirmation,

"That's right! Only when wealth and fortune are prosperous can you be rich, where can you get a marriage without money? ”

What the old man said seems to have a point!

Xu Changshou nodded again, thoughtful:

"Love is not something you want to buy, you can buy it if you want to buy it......"

Xu Changshou looked at the old man with a thick white beard in front of him, and continued to ask, "Dare to ask sir, is your magic effective?" ”

Qingping Mountain Daoist felt that this person was despising himself, "If it doesn't work, you won't collect money!" ”

Xu Changshou smiled knowingly.

"The old man knows what you want to ask! The old man also knows that this question is not about you. ”

The people of Qingping Mountain responded to Xu Changshou with great interest.

"Sir, do you know that my blind sister will be cured one day?"

"The pain of illness and illness has been born in the mortal body since ancient times, if it is said to be eradicated, it is just a matter of time, some things should exist, but the time has not come, and when the time comes, it will naturally fade."

After the Qingping Mountain Daoist finished speaking, Xu Changshou muttered: "Mr. Mana, there is nothing you can do?" ”

"It's a long way to go, so be happy! You and I are destined, you can come to Qingping Mountain to find me in the future, teach you some real skills, why do you need to be like an old man, wearing a robe, washing away the red dust? ”

For a moment, Xu Changshou was immersed in the old man's words, and when he came back to his senses, the fortune teller in front of him disappeared, and even the stall disappeared.

"Strange, could it be that you've been too tired lately and hallucinating?"

Xu Changshou clearly remembered that Fang was still talking, but in the blink of an eye, he disappeared?

Even if it's an immortal, he can't control so much.

After passing through Changping Street, the doors were closed from house to house, except that the workshop where I usually drank was about to close not far away.

Xu Changshou walked towards the little er, and the little er hurriedly shouted: "The guest officer is closed, come back another day!" ”

"What's going on? The heavenly sacrifice is coming, and you want to give way? ”

Xu Changshou joked.

"Guest officer, even if you are a relative of the emperor, these days, you have also entered the capital, and the Holy Lord has already ordered the withdrawal of the Gyeonggi guards."

"Then you're in a panic and don't do business anymore?"

Xu Changshou held the sword and leaned against the wall to chat with the little er.

"Oh you! Let's go home quickly! ”

After Xiao Er finished packing up his things, he anxiously pulled the small wooden cart and left.

It's quiet along the way, and every house is closed. On the other hand, Changping Street, which was so prosperous in the past, is now a world of difference.

Back at the palace, the maids and maids were cleaning the yard.

It's just that they all have a cloth over their mouths? Xu Changshou felt strange, so he asked the maid beside him.

"What are you doing here?"

"Madame told us to clean the house."

Seeing that he couldn't ask the reason, Xu Changshou decided to ask his aunt in person, he was about to go off the rails after many sunrise darts.

On a stone road in the yard, Rouge rushed over with a basin of water and almost slipped, but fortunately, Xu Changshou held her up.

The panting rouge suddenly blushed with shame.

"What are you busy with?" Xu Changshou tugged at the cuffs of Rouge's clothes.

"Childe doesn't know, Yongle County has recently suffered from a plague, and everyone has died, so Madame asked us to clean all the doors of the house to drive away the evil spirit."

"The plague?" Xu Changshou felt inexplicably depressed.

"Okay! Get busy! After greeting the panicked rouge, Xu Changshou came back to his senses.

"It turned out to be the plague, I said why is it so quiet outside!"

Plague is an epidemic infectious disease in the feudal dynasty, because there is no scientific means of prevention and control, it often becomes a scourge.

For a moment, Xu Changshou still felt that he should visit Xu Xin first, and handed over the eye medicine to her by the way.
