The hall downstairs was overcrowded. Thirty tables were temporarily put together to sit with more than a hundred people, there were dozens of individual stools, and more than a hundred standing tickets. Even the upstairs aisle had people looking at it dreamily.

Although Shang Shang Ju is the most time-honored brand in Suzhou, it has gone through countless booms and has produced countless Qing Guan people who are famous all over the world, but it has never been the same as it is today.

The madam was shouting hoarsely downstairs, greeting the guests, instructing the servants, calling other girls, and was very busy. On the stage, several singers played and sang, showing off themselves hard. Because they were so busy at the same time

There are very few times when many people pay attention. Maybe there is a young master in the audience who has taken a liking to him and wants to redeem himself, right?

But even though the girl on the stage played the piano music to the best of her ability, the guests in the audience didn't buy it very much. The shouts one after another overwhelmed the tune of the piano music, and no one paid attention to the stage. There was only one question that everyone paid attention to:

"When will the girl come out if she meets her for the first time?"

The madam has heard similar questions so many times that her ears have become calluses and she is extremely annoyed.

But at this moment, a little maid ran over and grabbed the old bustard's sleeve. Her small face was so tired that she was sweating profusely. Before she could speak, the old madam frowned when she saw her and asked: "Why are you alone? This is the first time we met.

Where?"

"When I first met my sister, she said that the young master would not come out until he could see her."

When the madam heard this, she frowned even more: "What? When did this happen? Is this little aunt doing this to me?"

"What should we do?" the little maid asked anxiously.

"What else can we do? Hurry up and send more people out to look for it!"

The little maid nodded repeatedly and went.

This conversation happened to be overheard by a girl next to me. Judging from the girl's clothes, she must also be a housekeeper. At this moment, she had to come over to help with some trivial tasks in order to deal with more and more customers. She felt unhappy and unbalanced.

When I was there, thinking about the gap between myself and the newcomer, I couldn't help but get angry on my face, walked up to the old madam and said sweetly:

"Mom, you are so serious. How can there be such a rule in the world? No matter how famous the newcomer is, she will always be her mother's girl and a member of this superior family. How can anyone go against mother? Not to mention

Maybe you have to keep so many guests waiting, right? Mom is so indulgent to her, why won’t she be turned upside down in the future? In my opinion, mom should teach her a lesson, and she will naturally become more honest in the future.”

After hearing this, the madam glanced at the girl, said nothing, and continued to entertain other guests.

The girl felt even more unhappy when she saw it. She walked forward unwilling to give up and said, "Mom, you are so partial. The new kid has only been here for half a month. I have been with my mother for several years, but I have never seen her."

You are so spoiled to us."

"Have you finished speaking?" the madam asked in a low voice.

"That's it."

"After that, get to work quickly and don't neglect the guests!" The madam's tone was bad. The girl knew that continuing to pester would not bring good results, so she could only laugh and prepare to leave.

When leaving, the madam asked coldly: "You don't want to think about how much money you have made with the house for so many years? You should also weigh it yourself. This girl who has just met you has made several years more money than you before she shows up."

Duo, you still have the nerve to tell me whether you are partial or not?"

The girl lowered her head, did not dare to say another word, quickly returned to her own place, and greeted the guests.

…

Besides, outside the building, Xia Shang finally made it to the middle of the street, crowding the pedestrians from the street entrance. He could see the door of Shang Shang Ju in the distance, but he was already sweating profusely.

The scene became more intense as the time got closer to noon, both inside and outside the building. Xia Shang could not remember how many scalpers he encountered along the way.

Xia Shang wiped his sweat and looked at the denser flow of people in front of him. He couldn't help but frown and hesitate. If he continued like this, he didn't know when he would be able to enter the building.

At this moment, a white palm suddenly stretched out from the crowd and grabbed Xia Shang's shoulder: "Liar, stop with me."

Following a young voice, a fair and handsome young man who was as good as Xia Shang emerged from the crowd. He was small and thin, but his clothes were bright and gorgeous. He was by no means an ordinary young man.

He was about thirteen years old, a young and awkward boy, but in ancient times, this age was almost considered an adult. He was just too young, and his voice sounded as delicate as a girl's, but Xia Shang was sure he was a man.

Because as soon as he finished speaking, he bumped into a beautiful little maid next to him, and his face suddenly reached the base of his neck. At first glance, she looked like a little pervert.

A little maid suddenly appeared next to Xia Shang. The young master looked a little displeased. She frowned and grabbed Xia Shang's other shoulder, glared at the young master and shouted: "If you look at me again, I'll dig out your eyes!"

"

Upon hearing this, the young master quickly looked away, but he became even more embarrassed. For a moment, he forgot what he meant by grabbing Xia Shang.

However, the little maid was very clever. She first looked at Xia Shang up and down, then took out a portrait, compared it left and right, and then asked tentatively: "Are you Mr. Xia Shang?"

Xia Shang was stunned. Very few people in the outside world knew his real name. How could this little maid know him?

"Exactly, girl, who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am. Time is running out now. Master, you'd better come with me quickly."

Saying that, the little maid pulled Xia Shang forward eagerly.

The young master on the side just came to his senses, grabbed Xia Shang, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Hey, hey, hey... where are you going? This guy cheated me of my money, and he was finally caught by me. How can I

Can you leave as soon as you say so?"

The little maid turned around and angrily grabbed the young master's hand to separate him from Xia Shang.

But the young master didn't buy it and refused to let go. He even shouted: "Okay, I'm afraid you have colluded to act for me. You want to blackmail me? There is no way! Come on, come on.

Yeah! Everyone, come and see, these two people are cheating people out of money! They even colluded to act! Come and see!"

When the young master yelled like this, the passers-by around him cast curious glances, and the crowd began to talk.

Xia Shang didn't care about such things, but the little maid was so anxious: "Don't listen to his nonsense, I don't even recognize you! Who defrauded you of your money? Who is acting again?"

The young master pointed at Xia Shang: "That's him! This is the man who just said he would sell me a ticket to Shang Shang Ju for six thousand taels of silver! But I gave the silver, but the man ran away. I've been looking for it for a long time, okay?

It was easy to find this guy, now you want to escape? No way!"

Xia Shang was confused after hearing this and raised his hands: "Young Master, I think you have recognized the wrong person, right?"

The little maid also agreed: "Even if you don't look at Mr. Xia's demeanor, he looks like someone who will defraud you of your money?"
