It had been a long time since I had been out of the stall, and even Yang Mosheng was extremely excited. He helped me rest a load of tofu pudding under the eaves of the inn, and rubbed his shoulders: "Brother Li, it's still early, I'll treat you to breakfast."
"No, no, no, where can you spend money?" I refused repeatedly.
Yang Mosheng grabbed my arm and said, "Why are you so polite to me? I have lived in your house for so long. You boil water for me every night. Sometimes my aunt even helps me wash my clothes. Even in the past half month, my aunt has been injured."
I was given a pair of shoe soles while I was in bed. This kindness... Yang really cannot repay."
"Brother Yang, you're welcome. Since we live under the same roof, it's human nature to help each other out. Look, didn't you just shoulder such a long burden for me? Otherwise, this would be tofu and bean curd. I
Don’t you have to make two trips?”
"Okay, okay, no more talking. No matter what happens today, you have to rely on me."
"This... won't it delay your business?"
"No, our young boss has said that there will be no guests until around noon every day. It's cold now, so there's no need to go too early. Haha, so I can help you and learn how to do business. Maybe I will do the same in the future.
Set up a stall and be your own boss."
"Okay, then it's better to be respectful than obey. Please."
"Brother Li, please."
"Hey, Jianghu, you haven't been here for half a month, right? How are you, aunt?" Ah Wu came up to her and put the handkerchief on her shoulder.
"Thank you for your concern, fifth brother. He's basically recovered." I led Yang Mosheng to sit at the table in the middle of Zhang's room so that he could inquire about the news.
"That's good. You don't know that these days, many people are thinking about your tofu and tofu. We also bought it from other stores. Too much water was added and it fell apart when the pot was boiled. However, the quality of your tofu is still good.
." Ah Wu boasted.
I also felt proud in my heart: "That's good. Oh, why are you the only one? Where is Uncle Fu? Also, I haven't met the new owner yet."
"Oh, there are not many people in the morning, Shitou and I are enough in the living room. Chen Xian, mother and son, are in charge of the guest room. There are also Uncle Yu and Aunt Fang in the kitchen. Uncle Fu is old and came late. The new owner... Haha, yesterday
It’s a big wedding, I’m afraid I’m tired, but I’m probably still sleeping soundly with the landlady.”
I felt sour in my heart, Li Dongsheng, what kind of bad luck did that guy have? He only met Madam Mu on the 28th of last month, and they got married on the 12th of this month. How embarrassing is this for us singles!
"Waiter, please bring us two sesame cakes and two bowls of haggis soup." Yang Mosheng glanced at me and started ordering.
"Hey, okay, you two, wait a moment, we'll be here soon."
Seeing Ah Wu go to the kitchen, Yang Mosheng smiled at me: "Are you okay?"
"I am fine!"
"That's how things are in this world. Some people win the beauty by accident, and some people fail to achieve anything no matter how hard they try. Hey, be more open-minded."
After listening to Yang Mosheng's advice, I sighed in agreement: "I really don't know what that Li... Li is..."
"Li Dongsheng."
"Oh, what's so special about Li Dongsheng? Logically speaking, Mrs. Mu should be a very shrewd person, why did she marry herself off so casually? Moreover, she even stayed in an inn!" I complained,
There was a strong smell of vinegar in his words.
"In the last election, because our young master's family was also one of the candidates, I was also there to cheer. Li Dongsheng, it is said, escaped from Chang'an. He used to be the son of a wealthy family. He played chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs.
He is so proficient in both civil and military affairs. Have you seen the new couplet hanging at the gate? - 'Welcoming guests from thousands of miles away with a smile, welcoming a family from all over the world', which is a sign based on the calligraphy written by Li Dongsheng during the election campaign."
"Hmph, I never believe in love at first sight. I think he must have come to Mrs. Mu's inn."
A slight smile appeared at the corner of Yang Mosheng's mouth: "I am also a scholar. Apart from not knowing martial arts, I think I am good in other aspects. I really want to find an opportunity to compete with him and try his true skills."
"Okay, remember to call me when the time comes."
"Waiter, is there any hot porridge? It's so cold in this damn weather." Su Xiaolu ran into the inn, still wearing thin and ragged clothes, with snow still falling on her head and shoulders.
Is it snowing? I stood up and looked towards the door. Sure enough, snowflakes were flying, connecting the sky and the earth.
"Here we come, I've kept you two waiting for a long time. Please take your time!" Ah Wu brought our breakfast and bent over to Su Xiaolu: "Do you just want a bowl of hot porridge, sir? I need some more.
Anything else?"
"Just a bowl of porridge. Uh... I saw that there was tofu pudding in the bucket next to the door. How did you sell it?" Su Xiaolu asked, as if he didn't see me.
"Oh, the bean curd and tofu belong to that boss." Ah Wu pointed at me and went to the kitchen.
Could it be that Su Xiaolu also got the news and knew that Yang Mosheng was a craftsman, so he deliberately pretended not to know me?
So, I replied: "A bowl of douhua costs two cents. Would you like a bowl, sir?"
"Well, let's put some food on the table first, I'm going to starve to death."
"Okay." I took a bowl of tofu and sent it over, winking at him secretly.
Su Xiaolu also squinted his eyes and paid two cents.
Yang Mosheng looked outside the door, his brows furrowed: "As soon as the snowflakes fall, winter will really come, and in a blink of an eye, the year will be over."
"Yeah, time flies so fast. It's open today, but it's snowing, so there won't be many people out. If I had known, I would have done less."
"The porridge is here, please use it slowly." Ah Wu served the porridge and walked to the door: "Hey, Jianghu, it's so cold outside today. I think you might as well sell it in the living room. If there are more customers,
Okay, haha, give me a helping hand by the way."
I took a bite of the pancake and said with a smile, "Okay, then you can get half of my wages today."
Ah Wu glanced sideways: "Then why didn't you say you have to pay half of the rent? Ask your friend who of us is more at a disadvantage?"
"I'm just joking, why should fifth brother take it seriously? I'm just worried that selling tofu in the store will affect your guests' dining. If the owner blames it, won't it mean that fifth brother will be scolded?"
"Oh, don't worry, our boss is kind-hearted and will agree. Oh, boss, are you up?" Ah Wu said, suddenly heading towards the stairs to greet him.
I looked over and saw a young man walking to the counter. He was wearing a blue brocade long coat and a pure white fox fur cloak. His hair was neatly tied on top of his head and fixed with a green hosta.
The whole person is completely worthy of words such as "looking like Pan An" and "yushu Linfeng". Moreover, he really looks very similar to Li Huichun!
"Where's Xian'er?" He glanced at the living room and asked anxiously.
Ah Wu was stunned: "Did the boss ask the landlady? Didn't you have the bridal chamber in Room No. 1 of Tianzi last night?"
Li Dongsheng frowned: "Yes, but I didn't see her when I woke up."
"Um..." Ah Wu scratched his head: "Our boss... Oh, no, the boss's wife, she's always been like this. She might run out as soon as she wakes up. Oh, by the way, Mu County Lieutenant's family today
I've gone back to Yiling early. Isn't the landlady going to say goodbye? Why don't you go back to Mu's Mansion to have a look?"
"Well, I'll leave the inn to you!" Li Dongsheng said and ran away.
"Tch, what is this? When I woke up, my wife was gone, haha." Ah Wu shook his head helplessly: Jiang Hu, did you hear that? Ahem, I am in charge of this inn today.
"
I glanced at Yang Mosheng and asked Ah Wu, "Is he your new boss?"
"Um."
"Do you think he looks like Dr. Li from Huichun Hall?" Yang Mosheng said, looking at me.
I nodded: "Yes, I think they are too similar."
"Haha, it's like that. Maybe the boss lady chose him for this reason. Or maybe he is Doctor Li's brother. Hahaha." Ah Wu said, and sighed again: "The boss lady has always been used to being casual.
, Now that we are married, I didn’t expect that she would still be so playful. In the past, Lieutenant Mu was still in charge, but now that Lieutenant Mu is not here, I don’t know how she will make trouble."
I knew that Yang Mosheng was looking forward to the answer, so I asked for him: "Isn't County Lieutenant Mu always following the imperial envoy? Why did I just hear you say that he went back to Yiling?"
"Oh, his wife's adopted sister is pregnant with a son, and she has sent a message a long time ago. County Lieutenant Mu has been waiting for his sister's marriage to be arranged before taking the whole family back to Yiling." Ah Wu said.
"Waiter, a bowl of soup cake!"
Long Yuhan stepped into the store, put his sword on the corner of the table, shook the snow off his shoulders, and sat down at the table next to us.
"Hey, Dragon Catcher, you're so early. You sit down first, you'll be ready soon. You have some tea to warm yourself up first. Shitou, stop chopping firewood and come out first to get busy." Ah Wu shouted at the top of his lungs.
I saw Long Yuhan also coming, but he also looked like he didn't see me, so I knew he was probably worried about Yang Mosheng.
"Is he from the Tianyan Team of the Governor's Office?" Yang Mosheng asked in a low voice.
I nodded: "Yes. The leader of the Sky Eye Team. I heard from my master that their Sky Eye Team is directly dispatched by the imperial envoy."
"Dragon Team, Dragon Team!" Cao Hua rushed in dusty and took two deep breaths: "Dragon Team, I finally found you... no... it's not good..."
Long Yuhan glared at him: "Why are you panicking? If you have something to say, just say it!"
"The imperial envoy... something happened to the imperial envoy!"
"What?" Long Yuhan's face was startled, he stood up and said, "What happened?"
"Chief Lei was worried that the imperial envoy was cold, so he asked his servant to bring him charcoal, but he found that the imperial envoy fell ill in bed."
Long Yuhan picked up the saber and walked out: "Is it serious? Can you call a doctor?"
"Someone has already gone to Huichun Hall to ask for Dr. Li..."
The two of them walked out of the store quickly while talking.
I took a sip of the soup and secretly observed Yang Mosheng's reaction. I saw that he was looking at the table calmly and lost in thought, while the spoon in his hand kept stirring in the bowl, obviously planning something.
"Brother Yang, they just said that the imperial envoy was ill. I wonder what happened? Yesterday, Dr. Du came to my house to change my grandmother's dressing. He said that something was wrong with the imperial envoy at the banquet. I hope that the imperial envoy is well. It is rare to have such a problem in the world today.
It’s a peaceful place.” I thought about Du Xiuzhen’s words yesterday and sighed deliberately.
"Oh, it should be fine. I heard that the imperial envoy is still in his youth, so how can he be so weak? I guess he is just busy with official duties recently and is tired. Didn't he ask the doctor from Huichen Hall? Don't worry."
"Ah That's good."
After a while, Yang Mosheng stuffed the last bite of sesame cake into his mouth, drank the soup in a few gulps, wiped his mouth, and smiled at me: "Oh, brother Jianghu, I'm really sorry, I even said I would help you sell it."
Damn it, but I just remembered that yesterday our boss told me to calculate all the accounts of several restaurants. Hey, look at my memory, I almost forgot."
I also pretended to be nonchalant: "Oh, it's okay. Brother Yang, just go and get busy if you have something to do."
"Hey, okay, waiter, come on, the money for the meal is on the table!" Yang Mosheng put down a handful of coins, smiled apologetically at me again, and ran out facing the snowflakes. This chapter has been completed!
