Early the next morning, Mr. Xu came to Jingzhao Yin Mansion to invite Mr. Chen.
After what happened yesterday, he did not dare to neglect this gentleman again, so he came directly to invite him today.
"Master Xu, you're welcome."
"This is the duty of a lower official."
"Sir, please get on the sedan."
Chen Changsheng looked at the sedan, shook his head and said, "Let's walk. Mr. Xu doesn't have to think too much. It's not that Chen is not used to not giving Mr. Xu face."
There is some resistance.
In his opinion, the sedan chair lifted by everyone in front of him should have nothing to do with him.
The food market entrance was not far away, so the two of them walked there.
Seeing this, Master Xu also understood and ordered the officers to go to Caishikou first.
Seeing the excitement this morning, Chen Changsheng couldn't help but immerse himself in it.
There is a fire set up on the roadside, and the tea is hot. Even though it is Huaixu, it is still a bit cold in the morning. Many people start their day with this bowl of hot tea.
There is also the smell of steamed buns, the sound of hawking on both sides of the street, and the coming and going of people, with laughter and the atmosphere of the market.
As I was walking, I heard a loud knocking sound from a teahouse on the roadside.
Chen Changsheng paused, looked at the teahouse, turned to ask Mr. Xu next to him, and said, "Did the storyteller in the teahouse come so early?"
Mr. Xu was a little puzzled, but he replied: "It's always early. Morning and afternoon are usually the busiest in the city."
"It seems that Chen is a little lazy." Chen Changsheng couldn't help but laugh at himself.
"Sir, you are joking."
Chen Changsheng looked through the teahouse door to the storyteller inside.
Sometimes he doesn't know what he is expecting.
After all, there are not so many coincidences in the world.
The storyteller in the teahouse is obviously not Cao Fa.
Master Xu asked: "Sir, did you see an acquaintance?"
Chen Changsheng turned around and said with a smile: "I thought so."
Master Xu then asked: "Is Mr. Chen's friend a storyteller?"
"Um."
Chen Changsheng said: "I met him in Qingshan City in the early years. I heard that he later came to the capital to tell stories. After that, Chen never saw him again."
"My surname is Cao. When I was in Qingshan City, the guests in the teahouse called him Mr. Cao. If Mr. Xu encounters him by chance and sees any difficulty, I hope he will take care of him."
Mr. Xu was shocked when he heard this, and quickly raised his hands and said: "It's a blessing to be a low-ranking official."
"Let's go."
The two of them arrived at Caishikou.
Chen Changsheng sat in the same position as yesterday.
After taking a long breath, he waited for someone to come.
Compared to today, I feel a lot less busy.
There are only a few people who come here to get their waist cards. Those who are capable never follow the rules. Just like Mo Yuan said, when the Immortal Conference is held, people will naturally come.
Seeing this situation, Mr. Xu couldn't help but said: "There are few people today, and Mr. Chen is less tired."
Chen Changsheng said: "It's okay to be idle."
"yes."
Master Xu agreed.
Only two or three people came in the morning, and two of them were liars. Naturally, they were beaten ten feet by Master Xu and crawled out.
The remaining one is a monkey, a little naughty.
The monkey turned into a human form, and after arriving, he jumped up, stood on the table, and scratched his cheek.
"hey-hey."
The monkey laughed, looked at Chen Changsheng and said, "I heard that you can become a god here?"
Chen Changsheng glanced at him and said, "That's right, but registering here depends on your ability."
"I'm capable."
The monkey turned over and got off the table, falling steadily.
Mr. Xu on the side was startled and he quickly took two steps back.
The monkey clapped his hands, then pulled out a stick from his ear and played around with it.
Chen Changsheng was stunned for a moment after seeing it.
The monkey put the stick on the ground and asked, "I want to be the Monkey King, can I?"
Chen Changsheng smiled and asked, "Have you read Journey to the West?"
The monkey stepped forward quickly and asked: "Do you know?"
"Know."
Chen Changsheng nodded and said: "But the Monkey King will not end well."
Monkey raised his eyebrows and asked: "What do you mean there will be no happy ending?"
Chen Changsheng said: "Didn't you see it?"
The monkey opened his mouth and said: "I only read a few, half of the book."
"I see."
Chen Changsheng said: "When you have time, go to the teahouse and listen to books. Besides, if you jump on the table, you will be beaten and scolded. This is the human world, and there are rules in the world, which are different from those in the mountains and wilderness."
The monkey was not a monkey that couldn't listen. He said: "It's my first time here, so I'm not used to it. Just learn slowly and it'll be fine."
"good."
Chen Changsheng nodded and smiled, then handed the badge to it.
The monkey held it in his palm and laughed.
After coming back to his senses, he looked at Chen Changsheng, cupped his hands awkwardly, and said, "Thank you."
Chen Changsheng smiled and waved to indicate that it could leave.
The monkey wandered away with a smile on his face.
He looks a lot like a monkey.
Mr. Xu then stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Chen, what was that just now?"
Chen Changsheng said: "Monkey, it's very interesting. After reading Journey to the West, I wanted to be the Monkey King."
Master Xu couldn't help but smile after hearing this and said, "It's indeed interesting."
Mr. Xu also found it very interesting.
At noon, Mr. Xu asked Mr. Chen if he was hungry and sent someone to buy food.
At this time.
Unfortunately, someone happened to show up.
She is a beautifully dressed woman with a scent of musk on her body. She wears heavy makeup and light makeup, but her charm is still there.
The woman came here with a food box in her hand.
Master Xu frowned when he smelled the musky smell.
"A brothel girl?"
Chunxiu bowed, "Chunxiu has met you, sir."
She looked at Mr. Chen again and said softly: "I have met Mr. Chen."
Chen Changsheng recognized her and asked, "What is the girl doing here?"
Master Xu wanted to say something, but he immediately shut up when he heard this. It seemed that the brothel woman knew Mr. Chen.
Chunxiu said: "Chunxiu asked the swallows in the sky yesterday and learned that Mr. is here. He came here to pay his respects. In addition, he brought some food to Mr., which is common food. I hope Mr. will not dislike it."
Chen Changsheng paused, looked at the food box, shook his head and said, "Girl, you're welcome, but these food are still unnecessary."
Chunxiu said: "I hope sir will give it a try. It was sir who saved Chunxiu's life in Xuecheng. Chunxiu has never had the chance to repay him."
She lowered her head, with a little pleading in her eyes.
Chen Changsheng was slightly startled, but had no choice but to accept it.
"Then thank you very much, girl."
Chunxiu immediately beamed after hearing this.
Chunxiu stepped forward to open the food box and took out the food inside.
"How did Chen eat five dishes?"
Chen Changsheng said: "How about Miss Xu sit down and eat together."
After hearing this, Mr. Xu quickly said: "Mr. Chen, just forget about being a subordinate. I'm not hungry."
"Master Xu was still complaining about hunger just now."
