Zishi Street, next to the tea shop, there is still a light on in Wu Dalang's house.

Wu Dalang kept turning around the dining table with his hands behind his back, like a spinning top, completely devoid of his former calmness.

Pan Jinlian sat at the table, pouted, her eyes were slightly red, and she looked blankly at the wrinkled paper ball on the ground, and her stubborn tears refused to flow out no matter what, which made her look even more pitiful.

"Sister-in-law, you are also adding to the chaos, I was confused yesterday and made a wrong decision, not only did you stop it, but today you came up with this bad idea, hey...."

Wu Dalang didn't feel the slightest pity for the jade, but sighed for a long time, Pan Jinlian's mouth opened slightly, and finally he didn't speak.

"I'll tell him tomorrow, let him pay me three taels of silver every month, otherwise let him withdraw, hmph, if he provokes the second brother, he will be good-looking!"

"Big brother, who is trying to provoke me?" Wu Song went to Chenjiazhuang to return the gold, walked back happily, and as soon as he entered the house, he heard Wu Dalang's words, and immediately asked, "Is anyone coming to the store to be verbose?"

"You see, the second brother must be angry when he finds out. Wu Dalang didn't forget to count Pan Jinlian for a while, and then said to Wu Song: "Second brother, on the day of the opening, I was confused for a while, and gave the storyteller on the table of a chapter, let him talk there three times a day, and also provided him with wine and food.....

"Big brother, you have a very good idea!" Wu Song is an impatient person, and before Wu Dalang finished speaking, he had already cut off the topic, he walked back and forth in the living room, biting his lip, as if thinking about something, Wu Dalang immediately remained silent.

After half a cup of tea, Wu Song clapped his hands and said with a smile: " Big brother, I have thought of a better idea according to your idea, you go and ask the storyteller, how many stories he has, are recorded on paper, it is best to have some children like to listen, he talks three times a day, each time is fixed to say an excerpt of a long story, the rest of the time, but where the first three guests who spend more than one or two silver in our store, you can order a short story on the paper for the storyteller to tell, settle in January, consume more than thirty taels of silver, after the storyteller tells a long story, you can let him tell what he likes according to his own preferences, I think this can work, do you have anything to add？”

"Second brother..... What are you ......" Wu Dalang was a little dumbfounded, Wu Song was very suspicious, and was about to ask, Pan Jinlian stood up and said, "Big brother, uncle, the slave family went up to rest first." ”

"Sister-in-law, you can also give some advice!"

Pan Jinlian bit her lip lightly and said angrily: "The ideas that the women say are all bad. After saying that, he went upstairs.

"Big brother, is my sister-in-law unwell?"

"I guess it's because I'm feeling uncomfortable. Wu Dalang bent down to pick up the paper ball on the ground and handed it to Wu Song: "The second brother will know the reason when he sees it." ”

Wu Song opened it suspiciously, there were a few lines written in it, the handwriting was beautiful, naturally it was Pan Jinlian's handwriting, and after looking at it carefully, he couldn't help but sigh: "Big brother, isn't what my sister-in-law wrote exactly what I just said?"

"Yes, you and your sister-in-law always have the same thoughts, I am stupid and can't keep up. Wu Dalang said apologetically: "Just now, I complained that she had a bad idea, and said that I would ask the storyteller to collect some rent and food money tomorrow." ”

"No wonder...."Wu Song groaned for a while and said, "That's nothing, you can go and coax her." ”

"You know I'm stupid and don't know how to please people. ”

"Then give a gift. ”

"I gave a jade bead hairpin last time, but I caused a lot of trouble, this time I bothered the second brother to buy a gift for me, okay?"

"It's simple. Wu Song said: "I will go to buy a gift early tomorrow morning, and secretly hand it over to you, the so-called harmony makes money, you have to coax your sister-in-law to be happy, before you go back to the store, otherwise your face will be gloomy, and the guests will not be happy to see it." ”

"Listen to the second brother!" Wu Dalang's most trusted is Wu Song.

"In fact, although my sister-in-law is a daughter, she is far more resourceful than a man, and you can believe what she says. Wu Song's heart suddenly sank, and he immediately added: "Of course, if she says that you should drink distress medicine, you must not drink it!"

"I don't have heartache, how can I drink heartache medicine. Wu Dalang was very puzzled, he remembered something, and said, "Second brother, have you seen your cousin?"

"What cousin?"

"The cousin from Dongping Mansion, the brother of Zhang Xixi's cousin who sings, he came to the store on the day of the opening, and I was very affectionate, and suddenly there seemed to be something urgent, so I left, I was busy greeting guests, and I was not able to keep it, if you see it, invite him to dinner, this relative etiquette is to do enough. ”

When Wu Song heard this, he suddenly realized that his cousin was naturally Yan Fang, Yan Fang went to check Wu Dalang's pulse, he was busy interrogating the bandits in Leopard Head Mountain, and he didn't have time to ask him about the situation.

On the second day, Wu Song remembered Wu Dalang's affairs, so he went out, thinking about what gift to buy for Pan Jinlian, and quickly turned around at the end of Zishi Street.

He wondered in his heart: "Who is there so early? Could it be a thief, okay, let me go and see!"

Wu Song took a big stride, saw the man in an alley, and shouted: "Who are you?

"It turned out to be the head of Wudu, and the villain asked you to say goodbye. The man was carrying a flower basket in his hand, full of plum blossoms, and when he saw Wu Song, he immediately saluted and said with a smile: "The villain is a flower seller, he gets up early every day to pick plum blossoms, and he went out in a hurry today, he didn't wear enough clothes, and it was a little cold, so he walked faster, and he didn't think of causing a misunderstanding in Wudutou." ”

"That's really sorry, I saw that before dawn, there were people on the street, and I thought it was a thief, haha!"

"There is Dutou Town Shouyanggu County, even if the thief who eats the leopard's gall does not dare to come!" The flower seller flattered, took out a plum blossom from the basket, dedicated it to Wu Song, and said with a smile: "The sign has a cloud: 'The sound of spring rain in Xiaolou is the first to stop, wandering on the street clogs non-stop, suddenly hearing that the flower seller enters the alley, and a branch is bought slowly', this is a good hexagram for monopolizing the Oiran, it is said that this plum blossom is the head of the villain, and the head meets the villain in the alley, which is in response to this hexagram, and the head of the head should not refuse. ”

"Monopolize the Oiran?, but I heard you say that the signature is 'bought' instead of 'sent', so in order to conform to this hexagram, I bought it with you. Wu Song smiled and took out some broken silver from his arms and gave it to the flower seller, who was naturally very grateful.

"Isn't this just right! Modern girls like their husbands, boyfriends send flowers, and girls who want to come to ancient times are also happy, so they give this plum blossom to their sister-in-law, sister-in-law is noble, and the plum blossom is just lining her!"

Wu Song's heart moved when he thought of this, and he secretly complained to himself: "I said that my sister-in-law is noble, but I doubt her, and I told my eldest brother last night not to drink the heartache medicine she brought, this is the plot of "Water Margin" Pan Jinlian poisoning Wu Dalang, it is estimated that it is not suitable for use here, the characters here are different, at least Pan Jinlian must be a good woman with three chastity and nine spirits." ”

Wu Song pushed open the door, Pan Jinlian had already prepared breakfast, and when she saw Wu Song, her face turned red, and she said in a low voice: "The plum blossoms in my uncle's hands are so beautiful." ”

"My sister-in-law used to like plum blossoms, so that's just right, it's the most suitable for you. Wu Song immediately sent the plum blossoms.

Pan Jinlian took it delicately and said softly: "Plum blossoms are naturally good, the slave family once heard a poem.....

The plate in Pan Jinlian's hand fell to the ground, the fried noodles were spilled all over the ground, Wu Song hurriedly helped to clean up, he looked at Pan Jinlian's panicked appearance, and couldn't help laughing: "Sister-in-law, what's the matter, did you prick your hand on the thorns on the plum blossoms?" Probably not, I'm really worried that it will be like that, and the flower branches will be smoothed." ”

Wu Song couldn't hear Pan Jinlian's answer, and he didn't mind, he was very patriotic and couldn't help asking, "Sister-in-law, what kind of poem did you just say?"

When Pan Jinlian heard it, her heart was like a deer, she was frightened because of this poem, she just wanted to say, lovesick plum blossoms overnight, suddenly to the window suspected to be Jun, originally this is a poem she knows, just casually, and there is no meaning, but when the words come to the mouth, suddenly think of the meaning of the poem, and can't help but mess up.

Wu Song looked at her like a frightened little white rabbit, and was even more surprised, but it was not easy to ask, so he smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, I also have two poems about plum blossoms, this body is in the ice and snow forest, different peach and plum mixed with fragrant dust, this is very similar to your temperament." ”

Pan Jinlian listened, and her heart was as sweet as drinking honey: "Uncle is so literary and elegant, he said that I am Bingqing Yujie, clean and elegant, not a vulgar fan, so it is too offensive to praise him in person, but he is such a straightforward person." ”

Pan Jinlian's heart rippled, thinking that this poem was written by Wu Song for her, but she didn't know that this was a poem of the Yuan Dynasty, she was from the Song Dynasty, so naturally she had never heard of it.

"Sister-in-law, where is the eldest brother?" Wu Song realized that he didn't see Wu Dalang.

"When the eldest brother returned to the store early in the morning, he told me to come later, saying that you specially wanted to give me a gift today and let me wait. Pan Jinlian said this, she also felt very inappropriate, turned around and went to the room, and Wu Song stood alone, guessing Wu Dalang's thoughts, embarrassed.
