Chapter 484: Encounter
The little second brother smiled happily when he heard this: "This sister is a person who knows cold and hot, although rest assured, I will take care of it in the restaurant, and there will be no mistakes." In order not to attract attention, Cheng Xiaolian put all the silver tickets in his baggage, and only brought scattered silver and a lot of copper plates on his body, so that he could take care of things and not be suspected of his identity.
took out a tael of silver and thirty copper plates from his waist, and the second brother laughed: "My sister is a knowledgeable person, so you don't need to take the test, just go in and sing." ”
Generally, people who enter the restaurant to sing must first try to sing a section, the little second brother just took the copper coin, where is the embarrassment to let them try to sing, just smiled and let them in, anyway, if the singing is not good, the guests will naturally coax, and then the girl can't stay, he doesn't have to be a villain in vain.
When he got inside, he first gave the silver to the shopkeeper, and then said, "Shopkeeper, this is this girl's fixed silver, and he has come here to sing." ”
The shopkeeper nodded: "Take her up to give it a try, and if the guests are dissatisfied, they will return the money and lead her out." ”
Wen Duruo bowed and bowed: "Thank you to the shopkeeper for giving me food." ”
There is a place on the second floor of the restaurant near the railing, which is specially built for these singers and storytellers, because people who come to eat like a lively place, and people who have important things to talk about will naturally go to the room, so this location is very necessary.
Where Wen Duruo was sitting, Cheng Xiaolian handed her the pipa and stood behind her, but his ears were listening to what the people behind him were saying.
"It's getting harder and harder."
"Who said it wasn't, there was a war a few days ago, but there is no war these days, and I heard that His Royal Highness of the former Ming appeared in the city, when do you say we can have a peaceful life."
"Your family is better, our family is miserable, the tea collected is about to mold at home, and if you don't open the city gate, you can't go outside the plug this time. In a few days, the road will be closed by heavy snow, not to mention, these tea leaves will be smashed into your hands. ”
"Hey, we're here to have a drink today, don't mention those troubles, come, do this drink."
Cheng Xiaolian listened to these idle chats and had nothing of value, but if he thought about it, how could these people know about the things around Tuhai, and they didn't even know how many people had been arrested in the city.
At this time, Wen Duruo adjusted her body shape, and began to play the pipa, and she put on a veil before entering the restaurant, which is the rule of their profession, so that a lot of trouble can be avoided, after all, in this kind of place, it is not a good thing to be good-looking.
Cheng Xiaolian doesn't have any music cells at all, and even if he does, it is incompatible with this era, but Wen Du Ruo's pipa has a calming taste, and soon the guests in the restaurant were attracted.
"Shopkeeper, where did you invite the girl, she played well, come and receive the reward."
Xiao Er hurriedly made a look at Cheng Xiaolian, and Cheng Xiaolian trotted over: "Uncle Xie rewards." ”
"Where is your girl from?"
"We came from other places, and now the city gate is closed and we can't get out, so there is no courtyard here."
That person was stunned for a moment, and then he had other thoughts in his heart, since he was foreign, he was not afraid of offending.
Cheng Xiaolian looked at this person's face and knew what crooked idea he was playing in his head, so he laughed: "This master, my girl has been married before, but she has been married three times, and her husband's family died before she got married each time, so she gave up this thought." ”
The man's face trembled, and he immediately pretended to be a decent gentleman: "You bastard is talking nonsense, get out of the way, don't disturb the master's Yaxing." ”
Cheng Xiaolian has no choice, in this city, they can't use all their strength now, they can only rely on their own skills to eat, and even if they have a conflict with others, they will expose themselves, so he can only say this, anyway, he must marry Wen Duruo in the future, even if he says a few bad words, it is nothing bad, and he is not as superstitious as people in this era.
He took the bounty and ran to the counter: "This is today's bounty." On the way, I heard that Du Ruo had already told him, this is the rule of this industry, if the silver rewarded by the guest is stuffed into his pocket, or he takes less, the shopkeeper of the restaurant will find you trouble, people are deep-rooted, and you have all put the good share into your own pocket, it is always unreasonable.
Cheng Xiaolian's shopkeeper saw that the folds on Yinzi's smiling face came out: "This girl is really a powerful person, she earned the silver so quickly, Fulu, hurry up and send the girl a cup of good tea in our store, and wait for the girl." ”
The owner of the restaurant only comes for money, as long as you can make money, the shopkeeper can offer you as a fairy.
Cheng Xiaolian smiled: "Thank you for my girl." As he spoke, he pulled over Xiao Er: "Oh, my stomach hurts a little, where is the toilet here?" ”
Xiao Er hurriedly stretched out his hand and pointed: "It's in the backyard." ”
Cheng Xiaolian didn't want to go to the toilet, he had to get out of the sight of these people, maybe there were Jinyiwei brothers living in this inn.
When he arrived in the backyard, he went into the latrine and stayed for a while, and then quietly touched the guest room of the restaurant.
The guest rooms are generally arranged on the top floor of the restaurant, but there are only two stairs to go up, Cheng Xiaolian took advantage of no one to pay attention, quietly touched it, and no one around him paid attention to him, and he arrived on the top floor after a while.
I've watched a lot of film and television dramas in later generations, but he doesn't want to point his finger at the window to see what's going on inside, if someone finds out, he will definitely think it's a thief, and he will be sent to the government when the time comes, and he will be in danger.
So he just pretended to be walking in the corridor, but when he walked, he walked very slowly, and pricked up his ears to watch the movement on both sides carefully.
Suddenly, the door of a room was opened from the inside, and the people inside and Cheng Xiaolian glanced at each other: "Who are you?" ”
"Oh oh, I'm here to find someone, is there a person named Jia Xu here?"
At this moment, a door opened in another room: "Young master, I'm here." ”
The person who came out at the beginning glanced at Cheng Xiaolian strangely, and muttered: "Which young master would dress like this." ”
The man walked closer: "Young Master, why are you dressed like this, is the money bag stolen again?" ”
Cheng Xiaolian smiled bitterly: "I am now a slave to others, if I can't find you again, it is estimated that I will have to go to the street to beg for food in two days." ”
