Four hundred and thirty six chapters smoke from seven orifices
Although this phoenix hairpin was pawned for 500,000 taels of silver, although the Yinlou knew it was the property of King Heng, he still had to investigate in detail. Although nothing was found in the end, he also knew that the Yinlou was not just a simple business.
The water inside is deep. [`Novel`] The Lion House, which served a banquet as soon as the pearl arrived, also needs to be investigated
, I saw that I had an affair with that family, and nothing was found. I only knew that it was the property of a wealthy family in the capital, and I didn’t know whose family it was. These two things gave Shi Shi the feeling that Jinling City is really an unfathomable place.
, he can't get it out just by asking for information piecemeal. He must cultivate his own specialized talents.
Today, I saw that the first non-raw silk weaving shop in the Lion Building and the Silver Building were tied together. If I jumped out to place a bet, I can see that the two must be related. If they are related, they are related to King Heng. He has lent him fifty
You already have ten thousand taels of silver, why are you stupidly throwing money in there? You can’t let me accompany you too much. It’s better to take it back. Now you can keep as much money as you want, and you can see your friend and benefactor throwing money in without stopping him.
, this seems a bit unkind.
Pearl thought about it over and over again, and finally decided to go out in person to persuade the two families to take the money back. The day of noisy and disturbing things passed, and the next day Pearl took a bus to the Lion House, and now she became
Even though the celebrity was wearing a hat, everyone in the Lion Tower knew that this was Lady Pearl, the most famous figure in Jinling City right now.
The shopkeeper of the Lion House came to greet him personally, and led Pearl to a small and chic private room away from the hustle and bustle of the hall and corridor. He personally handed the menu to Pearl and asked Pearl to order. Pearl flipped through the menu casually and said without even looking at it.
: "Just pick a few dishes from this page. I don't have many people with me. Five or six dishes are enough. You can take care of the rest."
The shopkeeper of Shizilou looked at Pearl in surprise. He opened his mouth a few times but said nothing. He hesitated to go out. It seemed that he had something to hide. "What, the shopkeeper has something to say?" Shitou looked at the shopkeeper.
With a look of constipation on his face, he asked, "Oh, brother, please lend me a step."
Talk!" The shopkeeper pulled Shitou out. Pearl looked at the shopkeeper and wanted to stop him, but seeing that he and Shitou seemed to have something to say, she kept silent and let them go out first. Shitou glanced at Pearl and said,
Instructing Zhenzhu to wait, Zhenzhu nodded slightly. Shitou and the shopkeeper of Shizilou went out.
When they arrived outside the private room, the shopkeeper looked at the stone and said, "Brother, is this lady illiterate?" It makes sense for the shopkeeper to ask this question. In ancient times, it was virtue to pay attention to women's talents, no matter how rich or powerful they were.
Two factions have been formed. Some women are staunch defenders of virtue, even if they have great wealth and prominent families.
We only ask mothers to teach them rules and etiquette. They don’t ask gentlemen to teach them how to read and write. Some people think that women should not be blind and should at least know the Four Books and Five Classics. They don’t seek to be famous in front of others. They should at least be well-informed and sensible.
The shopkeeper thought that Pearl was the former, no matter how shrewd or clever he was, he was still illiterate.[
"Why did the shopkeeper say that? Our lady has cabinet after cabinet - she just doesn't have time to read. She is well-read and has a photographic memory. She can read ten lines at a glance and can recite many books backwards. This is a bit exaggerated. She can stumble.
It looks good. After all, ancient language habits and fonts are very different from modern history. Why do you say that our ladies don't know how to read?" This made Shitou very surprised.
"That's not it, that's not it. Hi! Isn't this Lady Pearl's light dish? That page is full of cold dishes. Tell me, can someone who can read be like this? The lady is smart, but she can't do everything.
After all, she is a woman and can’t read
She is also one of the most virtuous women, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about. Come on, tell me what to do about this matter. Should you serve the lady's order, or should we mix it with you secretly? What kind of dishes does the lady like to eat?" asked the shopkeeper.
With an expression like “Who are you lying to?”
Shitou was stunned when he heard this, with a look of disbelief on his face. He took the menu and said, "Let me see?" Finally, I saw that the page the shopkeeper took was indeed full of cold dishes. Now I was very happy. Shitou finally said
"You stand here, I'll go in and take a look." After saying that, he turned around and went into the house, leaving the shopkeeper rolling his eyes.
After Pearl learned that she ordered a table of cold dishes, which made the shopkeeper of Shizilou think that she didn't know the words, she laughed and finally asked Shitou to invite the shopkeeper in and said: "The reason why I ordered a table of cold dishes is because
The reason for my absent-mindedness is that I came to the Lion House to have a chat with you, the shopkeeper. Please take a seat!" Pearl said to the shopkeeper of the Lion House.
"How dare you, a villain, to be on an equal footing with the lady? If the lady has any orders, just tell her." The shopkeeper said nothing and did not sit down. He just stood respectfully and listened to orders. Seeing him like this, Pearl couldn't force him.
"What's the shopkeeper's name?" Pearl saw that he was a little cautious. It is said that this restaurant is a place where good and bad people are mixed together. The shopkeeper has seen a lot, so there is no way he would be like this. Pearl shook her head, not letting herself think about these messy things.
.
"My surname is Fu. That's why I was chosen to come to the restaurant in the first place." Shopkeeper Fu said. "I chose to come to the restaurant because your surname is Fu? It's so novel. Why is that?" Pearl asked curiously.
"It's just a wish for good luck by the owner. It sounds more comfortable and has a better meaning than the one with the surname Pei (compensation)." Shopkeeper Fu said. Gig, geez, Pearl really can't care about the presence of outsiders, she needs to be reserved, so she smiles
Unable to stop, "Your boss is also a wonderful person. It's not enough just to have the surname of Fu. You also need someone named Qian to be more direct." Pearl gasped.
Shopkeeper Fu was embarrassed by Pearl's laughter. He stood aside whether he was laughing or not, not knowing what to do. Pearl laughed again when she saw Pearl. After coming to this private room, Pearl felt that she had never laughed in her life.
So much, and she laughed so heartily. After a long time to stop laughing, Pearl took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from laughter, and said:
"Shopkeeper Fu, don't mind, I've lost my temper. I'm here today to persuade the shopkeeper to take back the money he spent gambling on raw silk, because I know who your boss is. He has helped me a lot. I don't want to watch him lose money. He helped me."
That's enough, don't gamble with your money, you know you will lose nine out of ten times you bet." Pearl looked at shopkeeper Fu seriously and said.
"Well, since the lady has opened a gambling game, isn't it possible for everyone to participate? You also know that I am just a shopkeeper. Of course, I will do whatever my boss asks me to do, and other villains have no idea." Shopkeeper Fu.
If you didn't pick up the pearl.
"Since you can't be the boss, find someone who can be the boss." Pearl looked at the dishes that were served one after another by Lu. They were not exquisite. If they were not the signature dishes of the Lion House, they were so fragrant that she could hear the people around her.
She made a vomiting sound, but she had no appetite at all when facing these delicacies. The person who placed the bet knew that he was losing money and was not here to share his fruits, so why?
Why spend a lot of money on others? If it is to cheer up, then there is no need. Now her bet is extremely popular. If only the raw silk shop and the silk shop weaving workshop can participate, then it is not
Now she has the money. She wants to know the reason and not do anything in a daze. She doesn't care about this matter. This is a situation she controls. She has the final say in her bet.
"If this lady has anything to do, just tell me. My boss is very busy, so..."
"Shopkeeper Fu, why are you talking to the madam? Just do whatever the madam asks you to do. I'm here. You can go down!" As soon as the voice outside fell, the curtain of the private room was raised.
A clean-cut middle-aged man of medium build came in. Pearl saw that he knew this man. It seemed that the world was still small and there were acquaintances everywhere. This man was none other than the official boss of the bank.
When Pearl saw the big shopkeeper of Yinlou coming in, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you the boss? You're not a shopkeeper named Qian, are you?" After hearing what Pearl said, the big shopkeeper of Yinlou was stunned and said, "I didn't expect my wife to know this a long time ago.
I got my last name, it seems to be my father
I told you. Yes, the villain's surname is Qian!" Pearl spit out a mouthful of tea after hearing this. She didn't expect that she even guessed this right, and she was developing more and more in the direction of a great god. Shopkeeper Fu was listening outside.
He covered his mouth and stepped downstairs.
"Since Shopkeeper Qian is the boss, I will tell you the purpose of coming here again." Pearl said what she meant again, and then looked at Shopkeeper Qian to see what he meant.
"Actually, this incident is also very unexpected. My wife hosted a banquet for all the family heads of Jinling Raw Silk Shop at the Lion House. I also knew about it. I didn't say anything at the time. I just said that as long as you are safe, you can do whatever you want. Wait for my wife and all the family heads to come.
After the negotiation was settled, while the bets were being placed, the two heads of the family, Chen and Su, suddenly said that whoever came out on top would do whatever he wanted to do to his wife. I heard about it.
, he has to take the lead no matter what. But now I don’t have any money at all, so I have to use the stocks in the restaurant, paddy field and silver house to make bets, so I won’t take back the restaurant no matter what this time, madam.
And that box of things." Shopkeeper Qian finally told the truth to Pearl, and it would have been better not to tell the truth. Pearl was even more angry after telling the truth.
"What did you say? You said Qi Yu wanted to come out on top. Who does he think I am, bastard! He also believes what those people say." After Zhenzhu walked around the room a few times angrily,
He slowly sat down and looked at Shopkeeper Qian with squinted eyes. Shopkeeper Qian felt excited when he saw this.
Mao, my spine is chilling, and there is a cold wind on the back of my neck. What are you doing, madam? Don’t just offend me. Come and vent your anger on yourself. Then you are too unlucky. You have to work so hard and run forward and backward. It’s all thankless.
