"Oh, there have been such things in the past? If it is a good poem, Shen Lao will buy it?" Bai Ruozhu raised her eyebrows, and while asking, she looked at the poem on the paper, it was indeed a good poem, but if she was asked if it was worth thirty taels, she really didn't know.

"Yes, the capital attaches great importance to literati, and in the past, if there were good poems, they would buy them, and then frame them and hang them in the store for customers to read. The shopkeeper said.

Bai Ruozhu touched her chin and thought about it, she didn't speak for a long time, she felt that it was a good thing to attach importance to literati, but this method was not very suitable, especially for the business of the shop. And there is no specific standard for whether this poem is good or not, you have to buy a poem seller today, and you have to buy a painting tomorrow, not to mention whether you buy it or not, the cost is already very large.

"You tell him that you won't buy poetry, but you can earn a hundred taels of silver if you give him a chance. Bai Ruozhu thought for a while and said.

"Huh?" the shopkeeper listened a little confused.

"In the future, a poetry meeting will be held every month, and the talented people can compose poems for the new dishes that welcome the guests, and the first place will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver, and the poems will be hung in the welcome guests for the guests to taste. The second and third places will also be rewarded, so you can discuss it with Shen Lao. This can be done as a monthly event to welcome guests, except for the poetry fight, we do not accept poetry at other times. ”

Bai Ruozhu laughed as he spoke, "Since you think that your poems are proving yourself in the competition, wouldn't it be a good thing to be able to get money and fame at the same time?"

The shopkeeper nodded vigorously, "You have a good idea, I will report it to Shen Lao, and I will prepare in advance, and he will definitely have no objections from his side." ”

At this time, there was a sound of clapping hands on the stairs, and a young man's voice sounded, "Madame is really Lan Xinhui, I admire it below, this poem will not be sold, and I am waiting to participate in the poetry party that welcomes guests." ”

"This An Gongzi is the author of this poem. The shopkeeper hurriedly introduced.

Bai Ruozhu directly handed the paper back to him and said, "I wish Gongzi An a good result in the Doushi Club." ”

Her attitude was a little light, this An Gongzi came over to eavesdrop on her talking to the shopkeeper, which really made her not feel much good.

An Gu was stunned, he didn't expect her to return so directly, he took the poem a little sneeringly, turned around and suddenly shouted, "What about those two stinky boys?

Bai Ruozhu followed his line of sight towards the lobby on the first floor, and sure enough, he saw that only the scraps of a table were cold, and he didn't even see a figure.

"Those two bastards asked me to urge the shopkeeper, but they took the opportunity to run away, it's just a loss of friends!" An Gu shouted angrily, completely losing the chic and complacent of the previous literati.

The shopkeeper said in his heart why is this An Gongzi's temper so big, and his friends are probably joking with him, he left first and left first, why did he lose his temper so much?

Bai Ruozhu understood it all at once.

The meals that welcome guests are not cheap, and it is not difficult for three or five students to eat together, but if it is a child from an ordinary family, it will be expensive.

The An Gongzi in front of him is moderately dressed, not shabby, but not as delicate and elegant as the aristocratic son, and he used to sell poems, probably because he didn't have enough money to support food.

So it's no wonder that his friends are running away, and he's not excited.

Sure enough, Na Angu said with a red face: "Shopkeeper, the friends below say goodbye, I'm afraid I haven't paid for this meal, I'm afraid I'm shy in my pocket, I'm afraid I'm ......."

The shopkeeper's face fell, "Gongzi An, don't be embarrassed, I also work for people." ”

When An Gu heard this, he immediately looked at Bai Ruozhu, and said with some pleading: "This lady must be the owner here, otherwise I will take the poem down, draw an IOU, and wait for the poetry meeting, and I will definitely pay back the arrears." ”

Bai Ruozhu raised his eyebrows, "Are you so sure that you will be able to get the prize money in the event? ”

An Gu was choked all of a sudden, and his face, which was originally lacking in qi and blood, had turned pink.

"Otherwise, I'll take this down, this is my fixed kinship, and I will definitely redeem it!" An Gu gritted his teeth, took off a pendant from his waist and handed it to Bai Ruozhu.

Bai Ruozhu didn't reach out to take it, but the shopkeeper took it, and after seeing that the jade was not bad, it was worth a few dollars, so he said to Bai Ruozhu: "Mrs. Jiang, I think I will do what he says." ”

Bai Ruozhu glanced at the jade plate, the pattern on it was very exquisite, and there seemed to be a word in the middle, but unfortunately she couldn't see it clearly.

She nodded to the shopkeeper, "You just have to watch and deal with it." ”

After she finished speaking, she was about to turn around and go back to the private room, but her feet suddenly froze, just now she saw a figure flash into the private room on the other side, because the private room was open in a ring on the second floor, and a large piece was vacant in the middle, and the private room was separated from Bai Ruozhu by a large distance, so the other party didn't notice her at all.

However, she saw the man's back and back face, and for a moment she felt very familiar, but a sense of foreboding rose in her heart.

He glanced at the shopkeeper, who hurriedly sent An Gu away, stepped forward and asked, "Does Mrs. Jiang have any instructions?"

Bai Ruozhu looked towards the private room, "What kind of guest is that room?"

The shopkeeper was stunned, he didn't expect Bai Ruozhu to inquire about other guests, he thought for a while and said: "I don't know, it's a businessman from other places and his friend, who is not a familiar face in Beijing, but the businessman is very generous, and he casually rewarded the young man with five taels of silver." ”

"You'll go and give them a new dish later, saying that we're going to ask the guests to try it today, and then you pay attention to who they are and what their physiognomy is. Bai Ruozhu commanded in a low voice.

"Yes, I'll go. Seeing Bai Ruozhu's serious expression, the shopkeeper couldn't help but get nervous.

He was just about to leave, but was stopped by Bai Ruozhu again, "Forget it, don't go, when I didn't say this, you were too dangerous in the past, so don't know anything." ”

If the familiar back just now was that person, the shopkeeper ran in to investigate, and they would not be injured, and even if they were startled, they might even lose their lives.

That's right, that person looked at Shi Feiming, the second master who wanted to Deception Village, that is, the second master of Batianzhai who was good at using hidden weapons and escaped in chaos.

At that time, this person was desperate, but he was still able to calm down and run away quickly, which shows that he is a calm and rational and thoughtful person, such a person is not easy to deal with, and letting him escape is equivalent to letting the tiger return to the mountain. And this tiger is now appearing in the capital, what does this mean?

Bai Ruozhu quietly confessed a few words to the shopkeeper, and then called Jian Qi to come out, asking him to verify whether that person was Shi Feiming, and also to find out who he was mixed with and what he was plotting.

Jian Qi took the order and escaped into the shadows, and Bai Ruozhu also returned to the private room and continued to eat with Li Wanhua and Fang Guizhi.

As a result, Jian Qiyi went for a long time, but he never came to report, Bai Ruozhu saw that this meal was about to be eaten, and he became anxious.
