Chapter 652: A Chance Encounter on the Street
Xu Jin lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage, and found that the faΓ§ade of the Fuqing Inn in front of him was quite clean, so he decided to stay here.
The counselor at the Fuqing Inn saw that Xu Jin was dressed luxuriously, there were many followers, and the two maids were still twins like flowers and jade, obviously either rich or expensive, so he didn't dare to slack off, nodded and stepped forward to greet him: "Son, live in the hotel or hit the tip?" β
Xu Jin smiled and said: "Live in the hotel, arrange an upper room for this son, and arrange the people below, your hands and feet are sharp, and your reward is indispensable." As he spoke, he threw a piece of broken silver over.
The counselor quickly caught the broken silver, and found that there were as many as five coins, his smile became even brighter, and he said enthusiastically: "Childe, although Chongde County is a small place, but our Fuqing Inn is not small, there are three independent courtyards in the back, and now one is still idle, do you want to come and take a seat?" It's also comfortable and convenient to live in. β
What is convenient to do, the consultant didn't say, but just glanced ambiguously at the two pretty maids behind Xu Jin.
Xu Jin has never treated himself badly, and when he heard that there was an independent courtyard, he naturally couldn't ask for it, so he immediately nodded and said, "Okay, just live there." β
The counselor was overjoyed, and immediately took Xu Jin to move in, and as for Erniu and Zhao Datou, there would be others to entertain them.
There are really three independent courtyards side by side behind the Fuqing Inn, and the other two are occupied, and the consultant took Xu Jin to the outside of the empty courtyard in the west, and introduced while opening the door: "The courtyard in the middle is the most spacious, but it was chartered by a wealthy businessman...... Xu Gongzi, please inside. β
Xu Jin was about to enter the courtyard, but the door of the courtyard next door was opened, and a forty-year-old man walked out, followed by eight servants in Tsing Yi and two maidservants, and the pomp was not ordinary.
The middle-aged man was dressed in silk and silk, wearing an emerald green jade plate finger on both hands, and a Liuhe unified melon skin hat on his head, with the posture of a rich man.
This person's eyes first fell on Chu Chun and Chu Xia, and he instantly showed a look of amazement, but when he saw Xu Jin, he was stunned, and his originally straight waist collapsed instantly, and he stepped forward quickly and saluted: "Contemptible Huizhou Luo Longwen has seen ......."
Xu Jin didn't wait for him to finish speaking, then interrupted with a smile: "It turned out to be Luo Yuanwai, it's really a place in life where you don't meet." β
The middle-aged man dressed as a rich man in front of him was Luo Longwen, a big ink merchant in Huizhou. It is said that although Luo Longwen is from the Hui Chamber of Commerce, he is in the Huimo business, and he has not participated in the smuggling business of Xu Dong and Wang Zhi, so he was not implicated by the two.
Luo Longwen is also clever, seeing Xu Jin dressed in civilian clothes, and running to a private inn to stay, obviously he didn't want to reveal his identity, maybe he came to Chongde County Weifu for a private visit, so he immediately changed his words and smiled: "Yes, it's a coincidence, I didn't expect to see Xu Gongzi in such a small place." β
Xu Jin smiled approvingly in his eyes and said, "I don't know what kind of big deal Luo Yuanwai is doing here?" β
Luo Longwen shook his head and said: "Where is the big deal, hehe, it's just that Wang Luzhu and everyone happened to be touring here, so the contemptible people rushed over to cheer her on." β
Xu Jin couldn't help but suddenly, it seems that this Luo Yuanwai is also a star chaser, and said with a smile: "I see, Wang Luzhu's ventriloquist is indeed a must, I was fortunate to see it once, and it is still unforgettable." β
Luo Longwen said with a smile: "It turns out that Xu Gongzi is also a fan of the Wang family, and the contemptible people are preparing to watch the Wang family's performance at the moment, Xu Gongzi is interested in going together?" β
Although Xu Jin was a little moved, he had just sat in the carriage for four hours, and he really couldn't lift his energy, so he still took a shower first, and then took a nap to be comfortable, so he waved his hand and said: "I'm a little tired in the bottom, Luo Yuan is at ease, let's talk about it next time I have a chance." β
Luo Longwen sighed secretly when he heard this, and recently there were rumors that Wang Luzhu had the intention of retiring and following his conscience, which instantly attracted many wealthy businessmen to chase him, and he Luo Longwen was one of them.
Since the outside world has recognized that Wang Cuiqiao, the three-time Oiran, has been admitted to Xu Jin's private house, Luo Longwen is worried that Xu Jin will have the intention to accept Wang Luzhu when he goes to Chongde County this time, and now he is naturally relieved to hear that Xu Jin is not interested in participating in Wang Luzhu's performance. After all, if Lord Qincha is interested in Wang Luzhu, then there is nothing to do with them as businessmen, and no matter how much money there is, he can't fight for power!
"Hehe, since that's the case, the contemptible person won't disturb Xu Gongzi's rest, and say goodbye!" Luo Longwen said politely to Xu Jin again and left.
The counselor of the inn saw that even a wealthy businessman like Luo Longwen was respectful to Xu Jin, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off, and arranged Xu Jin's residence in every detail, and repeatedly confirmed that Xu Jin had no other requirements, so he left cautiously.
This small courtyard is not big, even the upper yard is estimated to be a hundred square meters, but it is better than the elegant environment, the small courtyard is planted with flowers and trees, and there are independent kitchens and toilets, which is indeed quite convenient.
The two pretty maids happily cleaned up and arranged the residence, and then served Xu Jin to take a cool cold shower, and by the way, they shyly helped the master alleviate the problems of the next three roads.
Taking a cold shower in these dog days is undoubtedly very comfortable, and after eating lunch, Master Xu, who is happy in body and mind, lies down on the bamboo mat and falls asleep.
Chu Chun gently folded the mosquito net, and said in a low voice, "In early summer, we ran out of soap horns, I went to the street to buy some back, you look at the master." β
In early summer, he had just served the lord for a while, and he didn't want to move lazily at the moment, so he nodded and said: "By the way, buy some meat and vegetables and come back, let's cook by ourselves tonight, the food in the inn is not delicious at all, and the master doesn't like to eat it." β
Chu Chun hummed and went out with the silver, and the two brocade guards hurriedly followed, this is the maid who is favored by adults, but he doesn't dare to have an accident.
Although the early spring is a native of Chongde County, but from a poor family, there are few opportunities to enter the city when they are young, most of the time they stay in the salt field by the sea to help the family block salt, and later the two sisters were sold into a green building in the city, and soon they were bought by the steward of the Wei State Mansion and brought back to Beijing for training.
Therefore, in the early spring, I was not very familiar with Chongde County, and it took a long walk to buy all the things. When Chu Chun came out of the vegetable market with his dishes, a dirty middle-aged beggar on the street had a bright eye, staring at Chu Chun with a strange expression.
Chu Chun didn't notice the beggar's gaze abnormal, just smiled sweetly, and while walking, he thought about what dishes to cook for the old man tonight. Since the intimate contact with the lord at a negative distance, this pretty maid's whole body is filled with her own master.
"What for? Hold it! Seeing that the beggar actually stood up and tried to get close to Chu Chun, the two brocade guards who followed immediately stepped forward and scolded him viciously.
The beggar was taken aback, and stepped back in fright, only then did she notice the beggar in the early spring, and the kind girl only wanted to beg for herself, so she hurriedly stopped the two brocade guards, and threw a few copper coins into the beggar's broken bowl, and smiled: "Take it and buy food!" β
After Chu Chun finished speaking, he turned around and walked away, and the two brocade guards gave the beggar a sharp warning glance, and then left behind Chu Chun.
The frightened look on the beggar's face disappeared in an instant, picked up a few pennies in the broken bowl and threw it away, looked at the back of the early spring, looked thoughtful, and finally picked up the broken bowl and tiptoed up far away.
The beggar casually passed by the door of the Fuqing Inn, glanced inside, and then turned out of the city gate, where he met another thin beggar outside the city gate.
"Lao Mao, what's the situation in the city?" The thin beggar asked the middle-aged beggar in a low voice.
The middle-aged beggar said hesitantly: "There is nothing abnormal, but recently, the famous prostitute Wang Luzhu of Qinhuai went on tour in the city, attracting a lot of fat sheep here, and there are several worth more than 100,000 taels." β
The thin beggar's eyes lit up and he chuckled, "What's this called?" The peony flower is dead, and it is also romantic to be a ghost, we are going to send this ticket, go, go back and inform the boss. β
The middle-aged beggar frowned and said, "You go back first, Lao Tzu still has some personal matters to take care of." β
The thin beggar asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?" Met an enemy? Would you like to help? β
"It's your business, get out of here!" The middle-aged beggar kicked the skinny beggar in the ass, and the latter quickly ran away with the chrysanthemum. ()
