As soon as I entered the house, I saw that the room was square, not too big, but not narrow. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info has a set of tables and chairs, a bed, and the layout is simple, but also clean and tidy.

Shen Du was quite satisfied with this, and when he unpacked his bags, he placed the luggage.

Donggua saw that he had placed his luggage, hesitated for a moment, and said to Shen Du: "Mr. Shen, some of the ingredients that are missing today have not been purchased yet, and the shopkeeper asked me to follow Mr. to the street to buy them." ”

When Shen Du heard this, he couldn't help but turn around and ask, "What, is the account room also responsible for purchasing ingredients?" Although he asked like this, he didn't know if the account room should be like this.

When the winter melon heard this, he showed a little embarrassment, scratched his head and said, "Originally, Mr. Bookkeeper didn't have to go...... But there are too many poor ingredients, and the shopkeeper has to write them down on paper, and I can't read big characters, so I can only trouble Mr. Shen. ”

After a pause, he continued: "A few days ago, the last bookkeeper had just left, and Mr. Shen hadn't come over yet, and the shopkeeper personally took people to buy it, but the shopkeeper was busy. ”

Shen Du nodded, but then he seemed to think of something, and asked hesitantly, "Why haven't you seen the shopkeeper?" In the Song Kingdom, it is indeed quite rare for a woman to be in charge.

Winter melon sighed and said: "Originally, this inn was managed by the shopkeeper and her husband, but then the business was booming, and the shopkeeper's husband was addicted to gambling, not only scattered all his wealth, but was also beaten to death. ”

"Later, for some reason, the Hong Gang suddenly came forward to forcibly buy half of the inn, and the creditor did not dare to act rashly, and in the end he had to give up, otherwise, the shopkeeper himself ......" He said, he shook his head and did not continue.

It's just that you don't need to say it, anyone can guess it when they hear it. After all, a beautiful woman, her family is in debt, and her husband is beaten to death, and the fate is self-evident.

Shen Du didn't expect that there was such bitterness behind this female shopkeeper, and he couldn't help but have some respect in his heart.

It's just that although Luo Xueniang is pitiful, she has no relatives and no reason with the people in the Hong Gang, and it is a little puzzling that the gang will help each other.

Could it be that there is a shameless high-level Honggang who covets its beauty?

Shen Du shook his head, dispelled the messy thoughts, ignored it, and said, "Let's go, I'll go with you." ”

With that, he walked out of the room, closed the door casually, and went all the way down the stairs, with the winter melon hurriedly following behind.

At this time, a guest had already come in and was talking to Luo Xueniang at the counter.

Seeing this, Shen Du first stood aside with the winter melon and waited.

Luo Xueniang wore a white dress, faintly showing off her graceful figure. When talking to people, she smiles, calm, and shrewd.

Knowing some of the stories of this female shopkeeper, Shen Du looked at Luo Xueniang again, and felt that it was very different.

I have to say that although she is blinded by secular concepts, Luo Xueniang still shows a different kind of beauty.

Even the most delicate lies of the sages still have something that is difficult to hide.

"Let's go, just wait for a while. Luo Xueniang stretched out her hand and pointed to a table, and said with a smile to the guests.

When the guests walked away, Shen Du walked over and said, "Shopkeeper, I'll go buy some ingredients." ”

Luo Xueniang nodded and said apologetically, "Trouble Mr. Shen." ”

"It doesn't matter. Shen Du smiled and waved his hand.

Luo Xueniang took out a piece of paper and a hanging copper coin from the drawer of the counter, and said, "The things you want to buy are written on the paper." With that, she handed the two things to Shen Du.

Shen Du took it, and after saying it, he took the winter melon out of the inn and went straight to the market.

At this time, the morning market is booming, people come and go on the street, the sound of selling is endless, and some sought-after stalls are surrounded by water, noisy and lively.

The two of them walked down the street, passing through a crowded place, and it was crowded.

"Winter melon, but the place to sell fish is in front of here?" asked Shen Du as he walked.

The winter melon was looking east and west, looking around, and when he heard this, he quickly came back to his senses, nodded and said, "Mr. is right." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly let out a "huh", and his eyes looked straight ahead.

"Why has it been so lively here?" he said, looking puzzled.

Shen Du looked over and saw a large group of people gathered in one place, talking and pointing. Although it is also a crowd of people, people's behavior does not look like they are buying something, but like watching a play.

If you listen carefully, you can still smell some scolding in the noisy voices.

"What?" Shen Du was puzzled in his heart and couldn't help asking.

Winter melon laughed twice and said, "Mr. Shen, let's buy fish, there are still some stories about this fish seller, do you want to hear it?"

Shen Du said: "Let's hear it." ”

When Donggua heard this, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly said, "If Mr. Shen wants to listen, he has to promise me one thing first." ”

Shen Du listened, but he was a little displeased, and couldn't help frowning and asking, "What's the matter?"

Seeing this, Donggua hurriedly said, "Don't misunderstand, sir...... I just want to recognize a few words with my husband, at least in the future, I don't have to bother my husband to come out to buy ingredients, but my husband refuses to teach, and I dare not say it. ”

Shen Du frowned, turned his head and said, "You want me to teach you to read?"

Donggua nodded hurriedly and said, "I have eight brothers and sisters in my family, but I don't have this opportunity to go to private school. The bookkeeper in the store before was not smiling, very scary, and did not dare to ask. ”

Shen Du smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Luo also has some talents, why don't you go to her?"

When the winter melon heard this, his face turned red, scratched his head and said, "...... That's funny. ”

Then he said, "Will you teach me, sir?"

Shen Du listened, but there was a deep groan.

It's not that he doesn't want to teach winter melon, it's just that what he learns is very different from others. Aside from the miscellaneous studies for the time being, he can be called a deviant for the sage classics.

In the same vein as his master, Shen Du actually has no awe in his heart for the ghosts and sages, and even the royal court. Otherwise, he would not have been careless in the imperial examination and put himself in prison.

When he goes to teach, he doesn't know what will happen.

"My knowledge is extraordinary, if you want to learn, no matter what you learn in the future, you have to bear it yourself, can you think about it?" Shen Du asked.

When the winter melon heard this, his face was happy, and he nodded again and again: "Yes, willing!" As he spoke, he was about to kneel and salute.

Shen Du hurriedly helped him up and said, "No need, I can teach you, but I have no intention of accepting apprentices." ”

When the winter melon heard this, he was a little disappointed, but he still agreed.

"You can talk about it this time. Shen Du said.

Donggua nodded and said, "There are three brothers of the Liu family in Beiyu County, all of whom make a living by fishing. These three brothers were born tall and big, and they practiced boxing and kicking, and they always occupied the fish market and oppressed their peers, and others dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. ”

Later, the three of them provoked a hero, and the eldest brother Liu Da was slashed by the chivalrous man. Liu Er and Liu San were so frightened that they moved to Nanyu County, and then fished and bought fish. Unexpectedly, their nature was difficult to change, and soon they did rampant and domineering things. Donggua laughed twice, "Hehe, as a result, they provoked a high-roller again, and Liu Er was stabbed to death by several swords." ”

When Shen Du heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little funny, and said, "There are still such strange things?"

Winter melon said: "I don't know if it's true or not, anyway, people say so." ”

"But what does this have to do with us?" Shen Du wondered.

"Because a few years ago, there was a fishmonger here, named Liu San......"
