Liu Niang had tears in her eyes and was extremely grateful: "Thank you very much, girl, for saving your life. Liu Niang has nothing to repay."
With that said, Liu Niang was about to kneel down to Yan Mingzhu, but Yan Mingzhu held her arm and stopped her from kneeling.
Liu Xiang said with a smile: "It's the boss's duty to save the people in his teahouse. You should change your name and call him boss!"
Under Liu Niang's surprised gaze, Liu Xiang took out a land deed.
Shopkeeper Luo recognized it immediately, "It's really the boss. Come on, call everyone else over. They've seen the boss!"
There are only five people in the entire teahouse, including the shopkeeper and storyteller Liu Niang.
Shopkeeper Luo looked ashamed, and knelt down directly in front of Yan Mingzhu, "I'm sorry, boss, it's all small and useless people who have made Ming Yuexuan's business run in such a miserable state!"
When Liu Niang saw Shopkeeper Luo kneeling down, she quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "My boss, Shopkeeper Luo is a good man. If he hadn't been kind enough to take me in, I would have starved to death on the street. Please don't blame Shopkeeper Luo!"
The other waiters also interceded for Shopkeeper Luo, "Master, originally the business of our teahouse was pretty good, but since the fifth son of the Wang family came to the teahouse half a year ago, he has been causing trouble every day, scaring away all the customers.
Already."
"No, that young master Wang, under the banner of Pei Mansion, also said that he is the cousin of the boss. The entire teahouse is the property of Pei Mansion, that is, his. Anyone who dares to say anything wrong about him will be called immediately.
Let’s get out.”
"The kids really had no choice but to watch him being domineering in the teahouse. Later, another teahouse opened opposite, called Fuyun Restaurant. Gradually, all the customers in our teahouse were taken away.
.”
"Furthermore, the Fifth Young Master Wang is very domineering. Whenever he comes, he must reserve the place, and no other people are allowed to disturb him. When Liu Niang came to our teahouse to tell stories, the Fifth Young Master Wang became interested and came to our restaurant every day.
Making trouble there.
If you hadn't come here today, my boss, Liu Niang's innocence would have been stained by this slutty boy!"
As he said that, the waiters wiped away their tears. Looking at their words, it was enough to show that they had been tortured by Wang Rui in the past six months.
The Pei family is still more bastard than the last. Aunt Wang came with a pair of children to show off her dowry, and Mrs. Pei's natal family was not to be outdone.
If she hadn't gotten her dowry back in time, according to this situation, Ming Yuexuan would have been able to survive until the end of the year at most, and would have to close down.
Yan Mingzhu gave Liu Xiang a look, and Liu Xiang helped them all up.
"Everyone, get up first. The girl knows what you have been through these days. Don't worry, if the girl is here in the future, no one will have the opportunity to come to the teahouse to cause trouble. Our teahouse will be able to get back on track soon.
of!"
Shopkeeper Luo was a little worried: "My boss, after all, this Wang Rui is from the Wang family, and he is also backed by the Pei Mansion. Mrs. Pei is his biological aunt. He suffered a setback in the building today. If he goes to the Pei Mansion to complain,
I'm afraid they will bring people to trouble you."
Yan Mingzhu smiled, and said calmly: "This Wang Rui has ruined my teahouse, and I'm worried that I can't find anyone to settle the accounts. If the Pei family can come, I can settle all the accounts at once."
,
Shopkeeper Luo, I’ll give you one day to calculate all the losses in the past six months, and you can’t lose even a penny, do you understand?”
For some reason, after witnessing Yan Mingzhu beating three men to the ground alone and leaving them unable to fight back, shopkeeper Luo believed what she said.
The depression of the past six months was suddenly swept away, and he responded loudly: "The youngest is the best at settling accounts, boss, please feel free to leave it to me!"
At this time, Liu Niang saluted Yan Mingzhu, "It would be great for my boss to take over the teahouse again. Liu Niang's ability is limited and she can't help here, so I won't cause any trouble to my boss."
Yan Mingzhu asked calmly: "Why do you say you are causing trouble?"
Liu Niang lowered her head and said: "To be fair to my master, Liu Niang fled from Suzhou. I was betrothed to someone in Suzhou, but who knew that just a few days after getting married, her husband died while fishing at sea?"
In the sea, never to come back again,
The husband's family felt that the slave was killing his husband, so they kicked the slave out of the house. The slave had nowhere to go, so he had to come to the imperial capital to seek refuge with relatives. However, this only relative had not been in contact with him for many years. After coming to the imperial capital
, the slave couldn’t find anyone, and was in danger of starving to death on the streets.
Fortunately, I met Shopkeeper Luo, who brought the slave back. The slave had nothing to repay, and he had no outstanding talents. He only learned story-telling for a few years when he was in Suzhou, so he wanted to give it a try."
But it is obvious that the competition in the storytelling industry in the Imperial Capital is very fierce. Those who are ranked are all storytellers from the older generation. How can Liu Niang, a female streamer, compete with them?
In addition, Wang Rui came to cause trouble from time to time, so no guests were willing to come and watch Liu Niang's storytelling.
Originally she was just making a living here, but now that the real manager of the teahouse is back, naturally she, a half-hearted storyteller, doesn't have anything to worry about.
Just when Liu Niang thought that she would definitely leave, she heard Yan Mingzhu ask: "Since I plan to try, how can I know that I can't compare to others until the end?"
Liu Niang raised her head in surprise and met Yan Mingzhu's clear and bright eyes.
Her voice, just like the feeling she gave people, was stable and confident: "This world is very harsh on women, and they always blame women for their faults.
Are we women born inferior? We have hands, feet and brains, so why must we be inferior to men? I, Yan Mingzhu, do not believe in heaven or fate, I only believe in myself. As long as it is what I want to do, even if it is full of thorns, I will not look back.
,
I want the world to see that we women are no worse than men, and we can even do better than them!"
Saying that, Yan Mingzhu stretched out a hand and spread her plain white palm in front of Liu Niang, "Are you willing to work with me to revive Ming Yuexuan?"
Without any hesitation, Liu Niang nodded vigorously and handed her hand to Yan Mingzhu, "From now on, Liu Niang's life belongs to her employer. Liu Niang will advance and retreat with her employer to create a world for women!"
Yan Mingzhu smiled happily, patted her shoulder, motioned for her to sit down and speak slowly.
"I just took over today, and I don't know much about Ming Yuexuan's situation. Ming Yuexuan's business is getting worse day by day. In addition to Wang Rui's troubles, a large part of the reason is because of the newly opened teahouse opposite, right?"
Liu Niang nodded, "My boss's guess is correct. I have heard before that the person behind Fuyun Tower has a good background. As soon as it opened, he spent a lot of money to invite the leading storytellers in the imperial capital to sit down.
It is said that the person supporting the fortune tower is Eunuch Liu, the chamberlain who serves His Majesty in the palace, but this is just what others say, and I don’t know whether it is true or not.”
