Chapter 59: Yuelai Inn
Since Shu Ge's mother came to look for it, almost half a month has passed. Approaching the end of the year, the Yuecheng businessmen who lived in Suzhou, Hangzhou, Jinling and other places returned to their hometowns one after another, and the business of Fengmanlou was very hot.
From the second floor to the third floor to the attic of the Oiran, there was an endless stream of guests, and the girls were tired.
Shu Ge's mother's surname is Su, and she has stayed in Fengmanlou since then, in the same yard as those old mothers. She has the skills of Suzhou embroidery, and she usually sews some clothes and embroiders for the girls, and her skills are not bad. Seeing that the girls liked it very much, and Liu Jian doubled her salary, it can be regarded as an unexpected introduction of a talent for Feng Manlou.
But whenever Shu Ge went to look for her, she was always turned away, and Luo's mother said that she cried every night and didn't know how to face her daughter.
These things can't be forced, so this Aunt Su can only slowly come out of the shadow in her heart, Liu Jian always has some unspeakable admiration for her, so he strictly ordered Feng Man to go up and down the stairs and not discuss this matter anymore.
These are just small episodes of Qinglou life, there are some twists and turns, but they can't startle the waves.
Liu Jian's life gradually became more regular, he began to practice swords in the early morning, learned the piano in the afternoon, and played with the beauties who lived in Ningxianglou in the evening. As long as Yuanyuan lifted the veil, the internal breath in his body began to heat up, and watching a graceful dance was worth an hour of room practice.
Although Shu Ge was recognized by him as his sister, he still served by Chen Yuanyuan's side. Yuanyuan treated her very closely, taught her poetry, calligraphy and painting, and also taught her to sing music and play the piano. and Liu Jian got a few good pipas, so that Feng Manlou would always sound the familiar melody every day, and ambush on all sides.
Feng Manlou's mother Wang no longer took it, and let Liu Jian keep it by herself. At these times, Wang's mother's body is also stable, and she can still get out of bed and walk around and look at the scenery in the courtyard, which makes Liu Jian feel a lot more relieved.
"Strange, what books can be sold at Yuelai Inn?"
Liu Jian frowned and walked down the street, and the owners of the merchants and shops on the road all greeted him loudly and called him 'Spring Shopkeeper'. Liu Jian also returned the salute one by one, and when people respected him, he naturally had to return half a foot to him.
The most important thing to do tertiary industry service work is to build a good relationship with customers.
"This is not Brother Chun, the shopkeeper of Chun! Why do you have time to come to the shop today?"
Before entering the gate of the Yuelai Inn, I saw some rich innkeepers coming out. "Hurry inside, please, the spring shopkeeper can come, the small shop is really shining, watch the tea!"
Liu Jian was happy in his heart, this guy was no one else, he was also a regular customer who often went to Fengmanlou, and he often rewarded him in the past few years.
"Shopkeeper Zou doesn't have to be polite, I also came to your store to observe and learn. The centuries-old gold signboard of the inn has been heard for a long time, and it is said that it can be seen today, and it is really profound and amazing. β
He didn't say this casually, but he also had some heartfelt emotion. Yuelai Inn is in a prosperous place in the city, the courtyard is a two-storey square building, and it is only a larger scale from the outside, and Fengmanlou naturally cannot be compared. The inside is simple, but it has a unique flavor.
Downstairs is the inn must set up a restaurant, both have the function of a restaurant, the business is second only to the drunken fairy building in the city. Upstairs is a suite room, but Liu Jian has never been up, I don't know if it is as he thinks, there is a classification of heaven and earth Xuanhuang.
It was late afternoon, but there were a few people in the inn who were drinking in the corner, but they were all literati in the city. Shopkeeper Zou led Liu Jian to the account room where he usually was, just behind the counter. The room is small and has two bookcases, but it is not crowded at all, and it is very elegantly furnished.
There is also a specially arranged flower garden outside the window, and the breeze brings a little floral powder, which makes people intoxicated.
"Shopkeeper Zou is so interested, he usually has nothing to do but come to you often to sit here and learn some business skills. β
"The spring shopkeeper laughed, I'm just the shopkeeper of a semicolon. β
The shopkeeper Zou beckoned Liu Jianbin to sit down, and there was tea at the second end. "If you want to learn the scriptures, Zou also takes it from Brother Chun, the shopkeeper of Chun is young and old, and he took over such a large courtyard at a young age, and he said that the future must be limitless. β
"You and I are acquaintances, but such a compliment is outstanding. Liu Jian waved his hand, and the old and young looked at each other and smiled.
"Today, I came to the shopkeeper of Zou here, but I got the guidance of a master, and I came to ask for two books. β
"Ao?" Shopkeeper Zou looked Liu Jian up and down, got up and took down two books from the bookcase behind him, and put them in front of Liu Jian. "The spring shopkeeper actually knows that the small shop has this livelihood, but the small shop has rules, this book is only sold to people in the martial arts, and the spring shopkeeper is here to see and relieve boredom, but he can't take it away. β
Liu Jian took the two green booklets in his hand and flipped through them, and sure enough, they were the two books that Zhang Qing wanted.
"Yuelai Inn is really extraordinary, but this martial arts person ......"
Liu Jian rolled up his sleeves, clenched his fists and shook them twice, making a posture of showing off his biceps. "Shopkeeper Zou, do you look at me, do you look like a person in the martial arts?"
Shopkeeper Zou laughed dryly, and said in his heart that this Brother Chun is really a young man who doesn't know how to worry, whether he is a person in the martial arts, how can he not tell it? I don't know, which martial arts knight went to Fengmanlou to be merry and happy, and told him about the faΓ§ade here.
But the business of door-to-door delivery cannot be left undone, Yue Chengping said that few people come to buy these two books, and his performance is at the bottom of all branches. After thinking about it in his heart, he looked at the shopkeeper of Feng Manlou, who had not grown all his hair, and asked with a clear conscience:
"Have you ever practiced martial arts?"
"After practicing the crop style for a few years, I want to worship under the gate of Huashan, and I don't want to be kicked open. β
"That's also a ninth-rate Jianghu person. β
Shopkeeper Zou tried his best to round the conversation, and the business sent to the door was naturally to be done, but it couldn't break the rules of hundreds of years. Liu Jian was a little depressed in his heart, the ninth-rate, that is, not in the stream, right? It seems to be a little far away from the third-rate level, and there is still a difference of five, six, or seven.
Shopkeeper Zou groaned to see how he could find a loophole in the rules set by the store, "But this martial arts man ...... Shopkeeper Chun, have you ever had a fight with anyone?"
"Fighting? this must happen!" Liu Jian replied with a big grin, took a sip of tea, the water temperature was just right, and the tea was fragrant.
"Just two days ago, I also taught an old chicken thief who wanted to force the scoop and not give money, and pressed it to the ground It was a fat beating. If you don't pay for it after playing, you have to do it until his wife doesn't know him!"
Shopkeeper Zou laughed, but arched his hand at Liu Jian: "Chenghui, twenty taels of silver." β
"Shopkeeper Zou put it away," Liu Jian smiled and handed over a few ingots of silver, and put the two books into his arms, "Thank you, I will notify you in advance if you want to find any girl, and I will make arrangements for you in advance, Brother Zou." β
"Then, it's better to choose to say that it's better to bump into it, trouble the spring shopkeeper......"
"Haha! I naturally know that Sister Dongxue will warm up the bed for you tonight. β
"Hahaha! Thank you, Brother Chun. β
Seeing Liu Jianxin's understanding, the shopkeeper Zou was happy. The two looked at each other and smiled, smiling for a long time.
This recipe is: wine is a thousand cups of confidants, and people in the same way look at each other and smile; life should be a big white, and the mandarin duck embroidery is turned over the red waves.
Liu Jian got up to say goodbye, and the shopkeeper Zou suddenly told him to stay, and saw him groping around on the bookcase for a while, and brought a shabby pamphlet and handed it over. "Since Brother Chun, you like these, then take them as a play. Just remember, don't fight with those reckless people, we are all businessmen who do business, and life is worth more than them. β
"Xie Zou shopkeeper!" Liu Jian hugged his fists, holding a style of a martial arts person, and took the book and looked at it, and saw the three big characters "Five Elements Boxing" in the book, but it is a third-rate boxing method that is widely spread in the rivers and lakes, and is generally used as an introduction to martial arts.
Naturally, he was a little grateful in his heart, and thanked the shopkeeper Zou again, and then went out of the account room under the hospitality of Xiao Er.
"Brother Fengmanlou Chun, alias, Xiao Chunzi. β
Shopkeeper Zou took out an account book, wrote down Liu Jian's name, pondered for a while, and added a note to the back: I have learned third-rate martial arts since childhood, and I am enthusiastic and chivalrous.
"Well, it's almost coping with it. Alas, this business in Yuecheng is difficult to do. β
"Brother Chun!
As soon as Liu Jian walked to the door and was about to leave, several literati in the corner who were holding wine and singing suddenly found Liu Jian, and one of them stood up and pounced over quite excitedly. Xiao Er on the side hurriedly jumped away so as not to harm the pond fish.
"Ouyang Gongzi," Liu Jian arched his hand and responded with a smile, he was not familiar with these rich sons in Yuecheng, after all, these were all idle masters. "It's a coincidence that I met here. β
"Come on, come on!" The drunken brocade-clothed man grabbed Liu Jian's arm and took it to the table in the corner, and the other three stood up to greet him, but they all stood crookedly and couldn't stand straight. "Come and have a few drinks, I can't run away with you today, I have to make a poem. β
Liu Jian took away the drunken hand on his arm without a trace, and hugged his fist at the three people in the corner, "The three sons looked at Mian Sheng, and said that I would sit in Fengmanlou instead, and let me entertain you well." β
A good shopkeeper never forgets to pull business for his Qinglou.
"Definitely, definitely!"
The three of them were polite to him, thinking that they were giving face to this Ouyang Gongzi, and they were just polite when they were drunk like this, and they didn't open their eyes to look at him.
"Then don't disturb you Yaxing, I'll go back. β
"Don't! don't mind!" the son, surnamed Ouyang, grabbed Liu Jian, "These three are all great talents of Jinling Fanyang Academy, but they all came together to listen to your talents, I was going to look for you tonight, but I didn't expect to catch you here, you can't run!"
"This is Brother Chun of Feng Manlou?"
The eyes of the three people lit up, and they sobered up for a while, and then they opened their posture and surrounded Liu Jian to cover up.
Why, do you want to fight? Brother is a martial artist with a ninth-rate skill......
The three of them were quite excited affectionately, and they seemed to be a little speechless in the face of Liu Jian, and then they saw one of them shouting at him: "Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely see Nanshan." You did that?"
"Of course," Liu Jian was worried in his heart, brother, you don't have to shout so loudly when you are drunk, you have to make everyone in the world know? "I did it. β
"The desert is lonely, and the long river is round!"
"The bright moonlight in front of the bed is suspected to be frost on the ground!"
Liu Jian blinked, when did he plagiarize these two sentences? Laugh twice, now that Yuanyuan is here, it is not good for him to continue plagiarizing, and he will be teased by her a few times.
Unexpectedly, the three of them shouted again, and made a long bow at Liu Jian.
"Master is on top, please bow down to the apprentice!"
