Chapter 238: Qiao Lin Xuan
This niece Yuan introduced herself a little shyly, but Dugu Bo was not in the mood to flirt with her at the moment, but asked indifferently: "Senior Sister Yuan, I still hope that Senior Sister can tell her concubine, where is Senior Sister Zhou Zitong and Zhou now?"
Dugu Bo once had a deep chat with Zhou Zitong, she is also a poor woman, she is helpless in Yuyao City, and she can only get a lot of spirit stones by relying on her own hard work, and barely let herself survive in this intertwined Yuyao Chengfang City, and Dugu Bo, as her most important customer, is also one of her biggest sources of income, so Senior Sister Zhou treats Dugu Bo very seriously.
And she told Dugu Bo that she had to do this business forever, and only in this way could she have the opportunity to advance to the Divine Treasure Realm, and at that time, she would be considered to be at the beginning.
However, I haven't seen him in just half a year, how could Zitong inexplicably resign from this well-paid job this week, and I was very disappointed.
When Yuan's niece heard Dugu Bo's question, her face suddenly changed, and Dugu Bo immediately saw some clues from her face, and stared at her with awe-inspiring eyes.
Thinking about it, this Yuan niece is a person who has not been deeply involved in the world, and after looking at Dugu Bo Ling's questioning gaze, her hands kept rubbing the corners of her clothes, and she couldn't speak.
"Speak quickly!"
Dugu Bo snorted coldly, strengthening his momentum.
"I said, I said! Senior Sister Xue must not be angry. Actually, I think my aunt has gone too far, but it's hard to say anything. ”
Then she lowered her head, didn't dare to look at Dugu Bo's face, and continued to say: "Senior Sister Zhou was originally one of the most capable guys in this Yunshui Pavilion, and she was able to bring a lot of profits to Yunshui Pavilion every year.
However, because she couldn't be a person on weekdays, she aroused the jealousy of several other senior sisters, and these senior sisters said bad things about Senior Sister Zhou in her aunt's ear every day, which made her annoyed to listen to it.
And this time, my aunt who was entrusted by my father to take good care of me in Yuyao City took good care of me, and asked me to come to her Yunshui Pavilion to do work, saying that she had a generous rebate to take.
The concubine's qualifications were a little mediocre, and she was a little frightened by alchemy, refining, and ** these avenues, so she felt that living in this Yunshui Pavilion, with the care of her aunt, with the annual income in Yuyao City and the spirit stones earned in this Yunshui Pavilion, it should be very easy and easy.
But the day after I came here, I learned that my aunt had dismissed Senior Sister Zhou, who had angered everyone, and asked her to hand over some of her customer resources, and some of these customer resources were distributed to those senior sisters. ”
"Could it be that your Senior Sister Zhou will willingly hand over the customer resources in her hands!"
When Dugu Bo heard this, he was resentful in his heart and asked coldly.
"Senior sister should not be angry, and my sister does not know whether she is willing, but my aunt said this to me; she said that my sister is willing, and that this senior sister is the most kind-hearted, and when she heard that I am coming, she submitted her resignation; although I felt that it was different, I did not dare to delve into anything. ”
In the end, her voice became smaller and smaller, and the sound of mosquitoes was weak.
Dugu Bo was in no mood to argue with her at the moment, he just wanted to see Zhou Zitong soon, so he asked coldly: "Now you can tell me the whereabouts of this Senior Sister Zhou!"
"This, this"
"Do you want me to turn your Yunshui Pavilion upside down! At that time, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to gain a foothold in my Yuyao City!"
These two sentences were said in sonorous and powerful words, so that Yuan's niece had half a minute to react, and immediately said in horror: "I heard that Senior Sister Zhou is in a pharmacy called 'Qiao Linxuan' right now!"
Before this niece Yuan could react, Dugu Bo got up and hurriedly left the private room, and soon left Yunshui Pavilion and walked towards other streets.
After looking for more than an hour, Dugu Bo found the so-called "Qiaolin Xuan" in an inconspicuous corner in the northwest of Yuyao Pharmacy.
There are several pharmacies in the surrounding area, and a few people come and go, which is in stark contrast to the lively street.
This "Qiao Lin Xuan" is only two floors, and it looks a little dilapidated, and the paint on the plaque is also a little peeling.
Entering the hall on the first floor of this "Qiaolin Xuan", I found that it was very simple, only two or three zhang square, and there were five or six wooden cabinets around it, the vermilion paint had faded, and the courtyard was decaying, and behind the horizontal row of wooden cabinets in front of me was an old woman who looked seventy or eighty years old, with gray hair and a cane.
Dugu Bo's divine sense swept away, but he found that the other party was also a cultivator in the early stage of the furnace Ding Realm, and he didn't know how long he had been in this "Qiao Lin Xuan".
As soon as the old woman saw a customer coming, she immediately Zou Baba, but with a smile on her radiant face, she walked out of the horizontal wooden cabinet and greeted her: "Oh!
Then, he turned his head and shouted at the second floor: "Zitong girl, there is a distinguished guest coming, come down quickly and welcome you to the private room on the second floor." ”
Hearing the sound of "eh!" upstairs, Dugu Bo's heart suddenly relaxed, who was this beautiful voice not Zhou Zitong's.
Dugu Bo felt that this old woman was kind-faced, and she was also a dying person, seeing such a person walking on the road of cultivating immortals, stopping at the beginning of the furnace Ding realm, I don't know how many ups and downs in my heart I have experienced, but I am very sighing when I come to this day.
While he was responding to the hospitable old woman, he heard the sound of clattering footsteps coming from the wooden staircase on the right side of the hall.
Soon, I also saw Zhou Zitong's familiar Miaoman figure appear in the hall, in addition to the deep sadness on her face, she still had a smile that made Dugu Bo quite familiar and warm.
When Zitong saw Dugu Bo this week, his face was stunned, and then he stopped, but his eyes began to redden unconsciously.
"Zitong, how can you snub your guests like this, and don't welcome your guests to the private room, so you can entertain them!"
The old woman saw how Zhou Zitong was very different from usual, but she reminded her that she was afraid of losing Dugu Bo, a customer who had finally come to the door.
Zhou Zitong was stunned for a moment, and then said "Eh!" with a delicate smile, and led Dugu Bo to the second floor, where there are three private rooms, but they are simple and elegant and clean.
After entering one of the private rooms, Zhou Zitong closed the forbidden wooden door, and Dugu Bo and Zhou Zitong both sat on two benches.
They looked at each other for a while, but they were speechless for a while.
"How did my sister find this place?"
Half a sound, such a sentence popped out of Zhou Zitong's muttered mouth.
Dugu Bo immediately slowly told this Zhou Zitong how he got to the Yunshui Pavilion, as well as what he heard from the boss of Nazeng and what he heard from Yuan's niece.
I saw that Zhou Zitong was resentful for a while, regretful for a while, and painful for a while, but in the end she was sad, and when Dugu Bo finished talking about everything, she exhaled lightly, as if she had been able to accept the facts at hand, and said indifferently: "Thank you sister for your concern, Zitong has drifted all her life, and she is unladylike when she meets people, but she can't blame others for her fate, only for her fate and all kinds of difficulties." Fortunately, I arrived at this Qiaolin Xuan, when I met Mrs. Jiang, I treated me as if I was my own, and I took great care of her, so I stayed in this Qiaolin Xuan in this life, and it was not bad to take care of her old man.
I also have some savings, if I can improve this 'Qiao Lin Xuan' and attract some customers, maybe I can make a difference." ”
After saying that, she stopped talking, and Dugu Bo also guessed that although she said this, looking at it, this improvement of "Qiao Lin Xuan" may not have much effect.
Immediately asked: "My sister came this time, I want to make this deal with my sister, and my sister will often come to 'Qiao Lin Xuan' in the future, although she can't do it, but she will also be weak, I hope to help my sister." ”
Zhou Zitong saw that Dugu Bo spoke very sincerely, and tears couldn't help but fall out, and said: "My sister is kind, my sister understands it;
To tell the truth, my sister was the first old guest to find this 'Qiao Lin Xuan', and my sister had nothing to say, so she could only thank her lightly.
But I'm afraid that my sister won't be able to make any more deals with my sister in the future, otherwise she will definitely be hurt by Boss Zeng's old man, and my sister won't even be able to stay in this 'Qiao Lin Xuan'. ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Zitong sighed secretly, wiped a tear from the corner of his eye, and said: "I'm afraid my sister doesn't know, this boss Zeng is a relative of Elder Su Yuxiu, and Elder Su Yuxiu has the background of the eldest lady Qi Guanxue behind him;
When my sister sees that my sister treats me like this, she will tell you these things, and my sister must not tell anyone else about it, otherwise it will lead to murder.
Most of the spirit stones looted by the Yunshui Pavilion in this Jade Yao Medicine Workshop would eventually be secretly crossed by this eldest lady, and only a small number of them would be handed over to the upper echelons of the Ziyuan Palace as rent and taxes.
These things are all things that I have slowly figured out in Yunshui Pavilion for so many years. ”
Speaking of this, she seemed to regret telling Dugu Bo about this kind of thing involving the struggle at the top.
Dugu Bo was very moved, one of the upper struggles is naturally to have spirit stones, which is the lifeblood; this Qi Guanxue divides the spirit stones of Ziyuan Palace in this Fang City to fill his private pockets, which should also be expected; I am afraid that in addition to this Yunshui Pavilion, there are other medicine shops, Dan shops, and instrument shops that have Qi Guanxue's small account books.
This Yunshui Pavilion is just the tip of the iceberg.
As for these things, he doesn't know whether Qi Guan Keru and Qi Guan Wan'er know about it.
