Chapter 228: Suspension of business for rectification
"What?!" Chen Lao was startled, and he was about to get up with a cane.
Boss Zhang was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly spoke: "Old Chen, you are angry!" This Shangyuan Restaurant is your Chen family's property ......"
It's okay if he doesn't say anything, after he opened his mouth, Bai Song immediately seized the opportunity and shouted at the top of his voice: "Oops! I see! Shangyuan Restaurant is Mr. Chen's own property, no wonder he wants to mobilize the people to make trouble with me! I didn't understand it before, but now I understand it! Old man Chen, you are a great Confucian, I can't afford to provoke it, so Ming'er will close the store and move elsewhere. β
Chen Lao was so angry that his face turned red when Bai Song said it, and he slammed the ground heavily: "Nonsense! The old man never cares whose shop it is! You wait for the old man, and when the old man finds out, if this shop is really the Chen family's shop, but talks about the Three Kingdoms in the shop, see if the old man will tear down this shop! β
Old Chen didn't just talk, he hurriedly greeted a relatively young old man who was traveling with him and asked him to leave to investigate. He took the remaining few people and killed them towards the opposite side with a fierce momentum.
Boss Zhang was in a hurry and stopped in front and shouted: "Old Chen, our store can't be smashed!" Shall I let the storyteller go inside? β
Chen Lao twisted his eyebrows and did not respond, Bai Song shouted from behind: "Chen Lao doesn't give us a chance to leave!" β
When Chen Lao heard this, a stick struck Boss Zhang's head, and there was a clang.
Old Chen was so angry that he was upset and up, and was supported by an old gentleman and comforted: "Old Chen, don't be angry, you have been tired, you are watching this shop outside, let me wait to smash the store." β
Chen Lao gasped and pointed inside: "You go, you go...... The old man wants to see who else dares to talk about the Three Kingdoms in Jixian County in the future! β
After a while, several old people entered the Shangyuan Restaurant, and soon there was a sound of ping-pong inside, and the guests fled in surprise, and all kinds of tables, chairs, benches, porcelain bowls and glasses flew out of the store.
Bai Song really doesn't believe that they are teachers, and they all worked as chengguan when they were young, right?
Boss Zhang was remorseful, his head was beaten and his bag fell off, and the store was also smashed.
The old man seemed to be trying to clear up the relationship, and he was even more ruthless, so he was afraid of Bai Song's sentence of favoritism, so he took special care of Shangyuan Restaurant.
The old people probably regarded today's trip as fitness, and smashed it endlessly.
After a few minutes, Chen Sanye, who rushed to hear the news, saw the scene in front of his restaurant, and was furious, pointing to a few fellow family members and saying, "Quick! Hurry up! Dog day things, dare to smash the Chen family's shop in broad daylight, beat me, kill Lao Tzu! β
As soon as Chen Sanye's voice fell, before he could see the people around him clearly, a stick flew over and threw it in his face.
Chen Sanye was beaten to the point that he was staggered, half of his face was numb, he spat on a mouthful of spit, and there was blood, and he was even more angry in his heart, and roared: "Who is it?!" β
Chen Sanye was a little dizzy, roared and saw that the family members around him did not move, and asked angrily: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Hurry up and give it to Lao Tzu! β
"Bastard, you still want to kill the old man, don't you?!"
The cane flung over again.
This time, Chen Sanye was prepared, grabbed the crutches, and was about to snatch the opponent's stick with force, when he turned around, he saw the old lady who was flushed with anger.
Chen Sanye was stunned in place, his mouth was fighting: "Mrs. ...... Grandpai...... You, you, you, how do you ......"
Old Chen didn't speak, stared at Chen Sanye, staring at his hand holding the cane.
Chen Sanye realized that the matter was serious and quickly let go.
Chen Lao didn't make a sound, and smashed his arm at Chen Sanye.
The old man didn't move fast, and a three-year-old child could dodge it, but Chen Sanye didn't dare to hide, so he stood and closed his eyes.
"Ouch!"
Chen Sanye was knocked dazed by a stick, kneeling on the ground and wailing continuously.
Chen Lao doesn't care about all this, he keeps beating people in anger.
Chen Sanye's bones were about to fall apart, and he begged for mercy on the ground again and again: "Master, don't fight, Chen Sanzhi is wrong...... I know ...... wrong."
"Dog thing! Do you know it's wrong? What's wrong? β
"I don't know?"
"I don't know yet!"
Chen Lao fought harder.
Chen Sanye wants to cry without tears, he really doesn't know!
He just told the grandfather about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, saying that the Three Kingdoms came from the Donglai Restaurant, and knew that the grandfather would come to the Donglai Restaurant to find trouble, but where would he have thought that he would burn the fire to his own restaurant?
He is still beaten now, and he doesn't know anything about it, only that someone is smashing Shangyuan Restaurant, and he can't take care of eating, so he brought someone here.
"White boy, you've really lost some of your troubles."
On the other side of the incident, in front of the Donglai Restaurant, which had just experienced the wind and rain, Li Zhan walked to the edge of Bai Song with a smile.
Bai Song looked at the other side, and shook his head with a wry smile: "No way, the store on the other side always wants to block me, and they have to suffer too." It's just a pity that it's a good shop, I still want to buy it, but it was smashed today, and the price has to lose a lot. β
"That Chen Lao is a difficult person, and today you ridiculed each other, making it difficult for Chen Lao to ride a tiger. He is eyeing you every day, and I am afraid that your restaurant business will be difficult to maintain. Have you figured out how to resolve this matter? β
"The prince came forward, isn't it enough to make Chen Lao change?"
Li Zhan shook his head with a smile: "The old man said that he would never affect anything as a prince. Coming forward to speak to you today has broken the rules in the king's heart, and in front of Old Chen, the identity of the prince may not be able to change him. If you want to resolve this matter, you have to rely on yourself. β
β¦β¦
After today's trouble, Chen Lao did not continue to hold on to Bai Song.
Maybe it's for the sake of the prince's face, or maybe it's because he thinks that beating people regardless of his posture is detrimental to his identity.
Old Chen and the other old gentlemen also restrained a little.
But that doesn't mean they just let Bai Song go.
Beginning the next day, Shangxian Publishing House gathered the protΓ©gΓ©s of each gentleman, and began to clean up the vendors selling manuscripts of the Three Kingdoms in Jixian County along the street early in the morning.
Recently, there has been a surge in piracy in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and several printing houses have suddenly appeared in the county.
The vendors were thinking about making money by printing books, but they didn't expect a group of literati to come and clean up everywhere.
Because this matter was led by the Shangxian Publishing House, which in turn represented the orthodox literature under the name of the imperial court.
Even if the vendors hated it, they didn't dare to do anything with the literati who were cleaning the manuscripts.
In addition to cleaning up the manuscripts, in the county's major restaurants, where there are storytellers, there are also old gentlemen who take students to make trouble.
So much so that the city is full of conflicts, and there is excitement everywhere to see.
And Mr. Chen and several respected old gentlemen jointly admonished the Taishou Mansion to come forward to support.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this matter is a bit excessive, but it can't stand the old man's reputation is too high, and Lord Thorn Shi didn't immediately adopt the suggestion, but he can't hold it for a few days.
The wind of the "forbidden Three Kingdoms" caused a storm in the city, and people were panicked.
Donglai Restaurant is the center of the situation, and the scene of the past is gone.
No one dared to come to eat, and it didn't open for two days.
The people in the shop were worried and didn't know what to do next.
Only Bai Song is as if nothing has happened, and still lives his own life.
On the contrary, I feel that these days are clean, and I can take the focus of my life away from the business of the restaurant and do something else.
I went out at noon one day, and called a carriage to go to the Oriental Girl's Mansion first.
This stingy Oriental girl has not cared about the things in the store since she beat Bai Song and went to Hualou, and she doesn't know how to be so petty, but she is a partner, and she always has to coax her.
Bai Song asked Wang Xiaohua for the address, and when he arrived at the location, he got off the carriage and saw a plaque hanging above the courtyard.
The above two words are actually "White House".
Bai Song was stunned for a moment, and then thought of the Dongfang girl's single name with the word "white".
It's not surprising to take a white house.
Then he went up and knocked on the door, and the little maid who always accompanied him came and opened the door.
"Bai Gongzi?"
"Can the Oriental girl be at home?"
"My wife said that I don't see Bai Gongzi."
"Uh...... Then you go back and say that there has been something wrong with the shop in the past few days, and there has been no customer for two days. The two shops next to each other have also been negotiated, and they are ready to rent both stores. It's about business, and we have to meet and talk about it. β
The little maid thought about it, nodded dryly, and then went back to report.
After a while, the little maid came back, opened the door and led Bai Song in.
After entering the house, Bai Song found that the house of this oriental girl is quite a bit of poetry and painting, there are not many secular and stable houses, pavilions and pavilions everywhere, small paths and small buildings, perhaps because of the small number of people in the family, flowers and plants can be seen everywhere, the layout is also exquisite and elegant, all sides are quiet and fragrant, you can listen to the murmuring of the stream everywhere, people are in it, like stopping the picture scroll, walking outside, the outside of the wall is secular and the wall is the landscape.
Bai Song walked all the way to see the flowers, and finally came to the outside of a small building built on top of a small pond of water.
The Oriental girl, dressed in a white dress and white skirt, stopped in front of Xiaozhu, and beckoned to Bai Song with her long hair, and she was like a fairy who had escaped from the world in the landscape.
Bai Song followed in a few steps, entered the small building, and said to the Oriental girl: "I see that the girl is capable on weekdays, and she can do everything herself, and she doesn't want to live so delicately at home alone." With such a small dwelling, if it were me, I would not want to go to that world. β
Dongfang Bai's expression was faint, and he didn't see anger or joy, he pointed to the rattan chair in front of him and asked Bai Song to sit down.
"Xiaolian, take my Junshan silver needle."
"Yes, ma'am."
Xiaolian said goodbye and quit to make tea.
Dongfang Bai asked directly: "I heard that the shop is a little difficult, what is the matter?" β
Bai Song originally told what he had encountered.
Dongfang Bai was quite surprised, and also frowned.
She was angry in her heart, but she also admitted Bai Song's ability, and felt that it was completely redundant for her to meddle in the business, and she could run the shop properly with Bai Song's ability.
But I didn't expect to encounter such trouble recently, the other party is Shangxian Publishing House, which is a printing and distributing agency recognized by the imperial court, regardless of the good or bad of the Three Kingdoms, what they are doing is undoubtedly challenging the authority of Shangxian Publishing House.
