Volume 1 Chapter 5 We are willing to be a concubine!
The sudden sentence made Deng Fang speechless, and Deng Fang was just about to explain, when the voice of the shopkeeper came from the back kitchen.
"Hey, this little minister is also a guest officer, don't scare people."
With that, the shopkeeper walked out of the back kitchen, went to Deng Fang's side and said a few words of apology, and began to entertain these barbarians.
Deng Fang stood aside, he hadn't noticed that looking gentle and kind to the shopkeeper before, he was also very easy to deal with these big men, and he really had two brushes!
After a while, the shopkeeper settled these people and came to Deng Fang's side.
"Little Xianggong, you want to settle the money, right?"
"Yes, how much is the room price for three nights plus the meal just now?"
The shopkeeper lowered his head and dialed the abacus, and said with a smile: "Four taels or three dollars." ”
Deng Fang nodded, began to grope for the scattered silver in his arms, took it out, held it in the palm of his hand and began to count it.
"Careless!" Deng Fang's face became ugly.
It turned out that these scattered pieces of silver were not much at all, and they were only less than two taels.
The shopkeeper saw the change in Deng Fang's expression, and he guessed a few points in his heart.
Deng Fang wanted to discuss with the shopkeeper, and wait for himself to change the silver before settling the bill, but when he looked up, he found that the originally kind shopkeeper had changed his expression at the moment, and he was obviously a little unhappy.
"What? Not enough silver? The shopkeeper asked angrily.
"Oh...... No, it isn't. Deng Fangqiang smiled, so he had to reach into his arms again, take out a silver ticket of one thousand taels, and hand it over.
"Let's find money." Deng Fang looked at the shopkeeper with some embarrassment.
The shopkeeper squinted his eyes, looked at Deng Fang with some doubts, took the silver ticket, and looked down.
"Wow!" The shopkeeper exclaimed.
I saw that her hand holding the silver ticket trembled a little, and she looked at it carefully several times before she cautiously said to Deng Fang: "One thousand taels? ”
Deng Fang nodded embarrassedly: "Yes, I don't have enough broken silver, that's all I have, let's find money." ”
When the big men who were eating heard this, they looked at each other.
The shopkeeper discovered the abnormalities of several big men and hurriedly returned the silver ticket to Deng Fang.
"Little minister, don't be in a hurry for the house money first, and it's not too late to talk about it when you have the scattered silver."
Deng Fang took the silver ticket, put it away, and said with a slightly red face: "In this case, I will settle the account tomorrow after I exchange the broken silver." ”
After that, Deng Fang went straight upstairs, went back to the room, and did not come out again.
Several big men who were eating watched Deng Fang go upstairs, and they all shook their heads and sighed, after half a lifetime, they were not as rich as a little baby......
The shopkeeper smiled at each other, and then went into the back kitchen and did not come out again.
Deng Fang lay on the soft bed in the room, looking at the silver tickets, and planned to go to the money bank in the city early tomorrow morning to exchange some silver.
The encounter just now, although I felt a little embarrassed, Deng Fang's heart was still happy.
It's so cool for others to be shocked by themselves!
Sure enough, the feeling of being rich is good!
Late at night, Deng Fang sat at the table, looking at the bright moon outside the window, in a daze.
Suddenly, he heard a knock on his door.
Deng Fang got up to open the door, but found that it was the shopkeeper, she was holding a few plates of side dishes and a small pot of wine, and her face was as bright as a peach blossom.
Deng Fang was a little confused, but still invited her into the room.
The two sat down, and Deng Fang began to ask: "Shopkeeper, is there anything to do with the late night visit?" ”
The shopkeeper smiled and responded: "How about the little princess looking at the concubine's inn?" ”
"Huh? Yes, it's good, it's good. ”
The shopkeeper shook his head with a bitter expression: "This is just the scenery that outsiders look at, and the whole inn is just me and my daughter struggling to support." ”
"Daughter? Is that the one who works in the shop today? ”
"Yes, it's her, she is sixteen this year, her father died early, my mother's hard work to pull her up, and when she finds a good person for her, she is worthy of his father." The shopkeeper whispered, wiping away tears.
Deng Fang was a little unbearable when she heard this, and said comfortingly: "If you have this inn, you can be regarded as having a home, so you won't go outside in the wind and rain." ”
The shopkeeper nodded, smiled and wiped away the tears from his face, and a resolute look appeared on his face again.
"Actually, if you want to talk about your family, a woman still has to follow her husband's family, so that she can be regarded as a family."
The shopkeeper continued.
When Deng Fang heard this, he felt that something was wrong, but he didn't dare to interject and listened quietly.
The shopkeeper looked at Deng Fang, and said with some embarrassment: "When I see you today, I see that the little minister is a talent, so I came to see you late at night, and I want to marry the little girl to you, and I hope you don't dislike it." ”
"Ahh This...... How does this work? When Deng Fang heard this, he said incoherently.
The shopkeeper hurriedly comforted: "The little minister doesn't have to be modest, although we haven't met for a long time today, I have already seen that you are a decent gentleman, my daughter is with you, if you can't be a wife, we are willing to be a concubine!" ”
As he spoke, the shopkeeper's hands clapped and shouted, "Rong'er, come in quickly." ”
The door was pushed open, and the girl walked in today, glanced at Deng Fang, and lowered her head shyly.
The shopkeeper took Rong'er's hand and pushed it to Deng Fang's side, smiling like a peach blossom.
"The first time you two met, there was no one in the city at this time, you two quickly go out and find a quiet place to talk!"
With that, he sent the two out of the door half-pushing and half-sending.
Deng Fang has always been passive, but the shopkeeper's hospitality is difficult, so he can only accompany the woman named "Rong'er" to the street.
In the middle of the night, there were not many people on the streets of the city, only one or two people appeared occasionally.
The two wandered around the street, and along the way, Rong'er kept telling about her miserable life, relying on her mother for her life, and was often bullied by others.
Deng Fang was a little confused about tonight's events, so he just listened quietly and said "um" from time to time.
Seeing Deng Fang so bored, this Rong'er was not angry, but blinked at Du Fang with a pair of big bright eyes.
The young girl, her eyes are like silk, and Deng Fang is also a little fascinated.
Gradually, Deng Fang also forgot the road he had walked, his attention was on Rong'er, and he followed Rong'er to a small lake in the city.
"Little Xianggong, why are you staring at me all the time......"
Rong'er squatted down, paddled the water in the lake with her hand, and said shyly.
Deng Fang's face was slightly red: "This ...... Actually, I also think your background is quite pitiful. ”
When Rong'er heard this, she quickly stood up, walked to Deng Fang's side, threw herself into Deng Fang's arms, and put her head on his shoulder.
"Then you have to protect me in the future!"
Deng Fang's face turned red, and before she could speak, she was attracted by a fragrance on Rong'er's body.
This smell is refreshing, Deng Fang just smelled it slightly, and the more she felt that Rong'er was charming.
"What a fragrant rouge!"
"But it's not like that."
"Shhh...... Why does this smell so much like the drug of smoked pigs before the pig was killed at home? ”
