The waiter chatted a lot with Chen Changsheng about Mr. Liu, and he did not hesitate to show respect in his words. As he said, he wanted to have a clear conscience when he spoke the truth.
After six hours, people began to arrive in the teahouse one after another. Chen Changsheng asked the waiter to entertain the guests first, while he sat here and waited alone.
When it was almost time for people to arrive, the storyteller appeared on the teahouse stage.
Then take a striking shot.
The storyteller said: "The book will continue from the previous chapter..."
Just this sentence means that the busiest time of the tea house is coming.
Chen Changsheng drank tea and looked towards the audience.
Whenever the storyteller talks about inspiring people, there will be a loud cheer from the audience and a cheer from the audience.
If you meet a rich owner, you will be rewarded with some silver coins to reward the storyteller on the stage.
The aroma of tea and sandalwood in the tea house blend together, and it's just such an atmosphere that it's hard for people to come back to their senses.
Chen Changsheng lowered his head and glanced at the tea in the cup.
He didn't like drinking tea at first, but probably because he liked this teahouse, he was a little more happy about the tea.
The so-called love house and bird is probably like this.
The sun above our heads moves westward, and after noon, some people in the teahouse will disperse, and they will come back in the afternoon.
The man had been busy all morning and finally found a break to rest for a while.
He came upstairs and saw that his husband was still sitting alone, so he said: "Sir, the tea has become cold. I will go and get a different pot."
Chen Changsheng shook his head and said: "Don't bother, he should be here soon. Let's change it when he arrives."
After hearing this, the waiter agreed and heard someone shouting downstairs. After saying a word to the gentleman, he hurried downstairs.
Those who run in the front hall cannot rest once they are busy.
Chen Changsheng continued to wait until more people came to the teahouse, but Liu Huaizhang was still nowhere to be seen.
He didn't calculate it, but he knew that Liu Huaizhang should be punctual and would never miss the things he agreed to do.
But until the scorching sun faded a little, Chen Changsheng still couldn't wait for Liu Huaizhang.
At this moment, it's time to apply.
Chen Changsheng sighed softly, probably guessing that Liu Huaizhang would not come today.
Finally, he raised his hand and did the math.
when his fingers paused.
Chen Changsheng couldn't help but feel stunned.
"It's really..."
Chen Changsheng shook his head and sighed, then stood up and left the teahouse.
Seeing that Mr. Liu was getting up and about to leave, the waiter asked: "Sir, Mr. Liu is not coming today?"
Chen Changsheng nodded in agreement and said, "I probably won't come."
"this……"
The waiter said: "Maybe Mr. Liu ran into some trouble, so..."
"Chen knew it."
Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "Thank you little brother for the tea today."
The waiter smiled and said, "You're welcome, sir."
Chen Changsheng nodded and then left the teahouse.
The waiter sent him out. Looking at the gentleman's retreating figure, he couldn't help but think about it.
This gentleman looked particularly extraordinary, but he didn't know what his identity was, but after thinking about it, the man was relieved.
Since you can be friends with Mr. Liu, it doesn't matter what your status is.
…
After leaving the teahouse, Chen Changsheng walked towards Longdongfang.
Midwinter Square is also under Shangjing, so it is home to a mine, and the official ironware belongs here. Iron is forged and coal is burned every day. Therefore, relatively speaking, this place does not look as gorgeous as other squares. Even in the mid-air, there are still
There is thick smoke floating.
After entering this square, Chen Changsheng walked towards the west side of Longdong Square.
Liu Huaizhang's home is here.
It was particularly different from what Chen Changsheng originally imagined.
After all, he was also the magistrate of Shangjing County, but Liu Huaizhang's residence was quite poor. It was not a big house, and there were no maids and housekeepers. He was the only one who lived in the small courtyard of Longdongfang.
The courtyard is a bit dilapidated and even has a lot of weeds growing there.
Liu Huaizhang didn't seem to take care of these things very much. He probably didn't have time to take care of these things.
Chen Changsheng walked into the small courtyard, came to the door and knocked.
"Knock knock..."
Liu Huaizhang, who was lying on the bed, looked a little weak. He slowly opened his eyes and said, "Who is it?"
"I'm afraid the old man has forgotten something?" Chen Changsheng asked.
When Liu Huaizhang heard this voice and title, he immediately reacted.
He stood up slowly and went to open the door with faltering steps.
Liu Huaizhang smiled helplessly and said, "How did you find this little brother?"
"Let's take a look at you." Chen Changsheng said with a smile.
Liu Huaizhang invited him in, but his home was extremely simple and the floor was uneven. One of the tables had a broken leg, and a stone was used to cushion it, but it was still tilted.
Liu Huaizhang said: "My little brother, don't mind if our home is simple."
Chen Changsheng sat down and looked at him.
Liu Huaizhang's face was a little pale, as if he was ill.
Chen Changsheng asked: "Are you sick?"
Liu Huaizhang smiled helplessly and said: "Being depressed and sick is not a serious illness."
Chen Changsheng took a look at the house and said, "I said, after all, you are also the magistrate of Shangjing County, why do you live in such a simple way?"
After hearing this, Liu Huaizhang paused and said with a helpless smile: "There is no money."
Chen Changsheng then asked: "It's okay if you don't go see a doctor when you are sick. There is no one to take care of you at home. If you die in one breath, no one will know."
Liu Huaizhang took a deep breath and said: "What can I do? This old guy like me is going to die. If I really die in one breath, it will be all over."
Chen Changsheng couldn't help but shake his head and said: "The people here in the capital value your life very seriously, but you don't care at all."
Liu Huaizhang shook his head and smiled bitterly, as if he was mocking himself, but said nothing.
Chen Changsheng looked at him and asked, "You fell ill after this visit to the court. Now that you are in your twilight years, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep going through this."
After hearing this, Liu Huaizhang said: "I can still survive for a while."
Chen Changsheng suddenly said: "You should know it very well in your heart."
Liu Huaizhang was stunned for a moment, then he raised his head and met Chen Changsheng's eyes.
He fell silent, not knowing how to explain it for a moment.
Liu Huaizhang was a little confused, so he asked: "Is it so obvious?"
"What do you think?" Chen Changsheng asked.
Liu Huaizhang pondered for a moment and then said: "Although I have noticed it, I think I can still survive until that time."
Chen Changsheng said: "Human beings are like grass, and life is as thin as paper. If you don't understand this problem, things will become more serious. Now you are just hanging on yourself with a trace of thoughts. If it happens again, I'm afraid you will really die."
My tone has gone bad."
Liu Huaizhang did not speak. He smiled at Chen Changsheng, like a fool, but his eyes were obviously a little embarrassed.
Like being exposed and helpless.
Chen Changsheng looked at him and couldn't help but say something.
