Chapter 319: Asking for help
Moments of warmth are always short-lived, and accidents and tomorrow never know which one will come first.
Hearing the steward say that the owner of the pork shop came to look for him, Su Zhaoning was full of hatred for iron and steel.
She asked Baizhu to find the small tree over there from Nan Qichen.
Xiaoshu was thrilled when he heard that Su Zhaoning was looking for it.
He was a cheap mouthman at the beginning, saying that he was bought by Mrs. Dingyuan Hou to serve Second Master Nan. As a result, now, he really serves Second Master Nan every day, and there is no way to know the situation of Mrs. Dingyuan Hou and Xiao Shizi.
Xiaoshu really wanted to perform well in front of Su Zhaoning this time.
He patted his chest and said to Su Zhaoning: "Madam, such a rough person is really not worthy of your personal meeting." Go for the little ones. ”
Su Zhaoning looked at the little tree in front of him, who was dressed as a little girl, and his body and back became a little bent, and felt in his heart that this one might not be so stupid.
She nodded in response, allowing the tree to reply to herself later.
A quarter of an hour later, Xiaoshu returned, followed by Chen, who had become the owner of the pork shop.
Looking at the oil on the hands of Shopkeeper Chen and the head of the small tree hanging down to the point that he couldn't see it, Su Zhaoning took a breath and asked, "Don't you need me to see it in person?" ”
Xiaoshu looked up and replied, "Madam, there is really no way to do it. That's a big deal! ”
With a sigh of relief, Su Zhaoning looked at Shopkeeper Chen and asked, "What's going on?" ”
Shopkeeper Chen knelt on the ground with a thud, leaned forward and was about to hug Su Zhaoning's leg and cry.
Su Zhaoning looked at the chubby, greasy hand and hurriedly stepped back.
But the other party's movements were really fast, and Su Zhaoning's retreat was not far enough, seeing that she still had to be hugged by Shopkeeper Chen.
I saw that the greasy hands were quickly clamped down, and the shopkeeper Chen exclaimed: "It hurts, it hurts." ”
"This is Madame!" Xiaoshu reminded in a deep voice.
His expression was serious, his bent back was straight, and although he was still wearing a small servant's outfit, it was like a different person.
Su Zhaoning couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
If the four princes are really surrounded by people like Shopkeeper Chen, she really has to worry about the safety of her husband.
What can a room of people help?
Shopkeeper Chen stated with a handful of snot and tears: "Master, this drunken immortal building is going to be gone, and it is useless to go down, so you have to give up the five-year-old store to others." ”
"It's not an old store for five years, so you might as well tell me what's going on from beginning to end, right?" Su Zhaoning pressed his forehead and asked.
Shopkeeper Chen finally began to tell the truth: "Five days ago, someone came to our building for dinner and ordered a squirrel fish. When he had finished eating, the man threw himself on the ground, saying that the fish was not fresh and that his stomach hurt after eating it. ”
"But our ingredients are fresh. The man ate cleanly again, and there was no basis for it. So I asked Xiao Er to take him to the hospital. When the shopkeeper Chen said this, he was already sweating a little, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat with his sleeve, and continued, "The man refused to go." I knew that nine times out of ten, it was fraudulent. ”
"Looking at the other party's clothes, they are dressed very ordinary, and it is estimated that they can't get the money to settle the bill. I made the decision and paid the other party ten taels of silver. Shopkeeper Chen took a breath and continued, "I thought this kind of thing was like this, and there were more than one such blackmail in the building. Generally, those with prominent family backgrounds disdain to do this kind of thing, and no matter how bad they are, they have a master, a master, and you. ”
"This kind of look is just to mix cheap, and it is usually only a few taels of silver. If you have it once, you are not allowed to enter the Drunken Immortal Building again. Shopkeeper Chen said quickly, and when he said this, he took a big breath again.
Su Zhaoning saw that the sweat on the other party's face had already gathered into a small stream at *, and it fell directly to the ground.
The spring is cold, and it is far from being so sweaty.
"You take a breath." Su Zhaoning instructed Baizhu to serve tea to Chen's shopkeeper.
Xiao Shu also handed over a cup.
Xiaoshu hurriedly bowed down and thanked him.
At this time, the cold guard from before disappeared completely.
Shopkeeper Chen took a sip of tea and continued to pray: "On that day, the man took ten taels of silver and left. I thought that was the end of it. Who knows, the next day, the man came again. They did not come standing, but lying down. ”
The man was carried by two ordinary sedan bearers, accompanied by an old woman. The old woman opened her mouth and said, "It's still the problem of the fish." said that when her son came home, he vomited and diarrhea for a day, and asked for a hundred taels. ”
Shopkeeper Chen took another sip of water and said, "I thought of buying a quiet one hundred taels of silver, and asked the old woman to sign a document and press her handprint." Said that the matter was over, and did not come to the door again. ”
"Who knows! Who knows! Shopkeeper Chen finally said the key point, his voice raised excitedly, and he said in a loud voice, "Who knew that this document had become a talisman." Yesterday, the old woman brought a dozen strong men and carried white flags to the building to make trouble. said that our fish died after eating, and we had to pay for our lives and suffer a lawsuit. ”
"I said that the fish was absolutely fine, and the old woman took out the paperwork and said that it was written in black and white that there was a problem with the fish." When Shopkeeper Chen said this, he was already sweating, he got up from his seat and knelt on the ground again.
"Master, please save the Drunken Immortal Tower. There's really no way to do it, so you shouldn't sign that paperwork in the next place! Shopkeeper Chen raised his hand and slapped himself heavily.
His face was covered with sweat, and his expression didn't look very good, but after this slap, his whole face was even worse.
Su Zhaoning found that the chubby shopkeeper Chen's face was not only ugly, but also the sweat fell more densely.
She hurriedly instructed Xiaoshu: "Hurry up and ask a doctor to come over." ”
The little tree immediately flew out.
Su Zhaoning asked Shopkeeper Chen to sit back.
Shopkeeper Chen wanted to say more, but the whole person suddenly became short of breath.
Baizhu hurriedly poured him tea to drink.
But the cup fell from the shopkeeper Chen's hand, and I saw that the shopkeeper Chen's face had turned from red to white, and then from white to cyan.
At this time, the little tree finally returned.
Fortunately, the doctor he invited back was not bad, and after a few silver needles, Shopkeeper Chen finally woke up leisurely.
The doctor said, "Do you have such a time every spring?" ”
Shopkeeper Chen nodded busily.
The doctor said, "Where are they in general?" ”
"I don't really remember. It's just that sometimes it's very tiring and doesn't show up. Shopkeeper Chen said.
Su Zhaoning looked at the peach tree that had already bloomed outside the window, and couldn't help but think of someone.
She asked the doctor, "Does this count as moss?" I didn't give birth to anything strange, but I didn't feel comfortable when I encountered something. For example, peach blossoms. ”
"Peach blossoms?" Shopkeeper Chen looked confused.
Su Zhaoning said to Baizhu: "Fold a peach blossom and come in." ”
Baizhu folded the peach blossoms, and before he walked in the door, the fragrance came to his nose as soon as the breeze blew.
Shopkeeper Chen gasped again.
"Baizhu take out the peach blossoms." Su Zhaoning commanded.
The doctor was busy administering needles again.
Shopkeeper Chen finally calmed down.
He looked terrified: "Why can't I see the peach blossoms, it's as uncomfortable as dying." ”
"It's a type of moss. It is indeed written in medical books. The doctor replied, "There is no cure for this disease, so we can only try to stay away." ”
"You say that the more tired you are, the less you will have seizures, which is also non-existent." The doctor looked at Shopkeeper Chen with some confusion.
"Because where he is busy, it will be far away from the peach forest." Su Zhaoning replied.
Zuixianlou is the second restaurant in Beijing, no one dares to rank first, and the street where it is located is also the most prosperous street in Beijing.
That street was full of rich and noble shops, and naturally there were no trees planted.
Where every inch of land is valuable, where is willing to move the location to plant trees.
The doctor left the prescription and went out, and the shopkeeper Chen raised his head to wipe his sweat with palpitations: "It turns out that peach blossoms can also kill people." ”
Su Zhaoning looked at Shopkeeper Chen, returned to the reason for his visit, and asked, "This is the last time you came to the door, have you signed anything again?" ”
Shopkeeper Chen shook his head desperately: "No, no." I knew I had been fooled the first time, and I didn't dare to do it again. ”
"It's just that the group of people took the paperwork and threatened that if I don't transfer the shop within three days, I will report it to the official." Shopkeeper Chen said this, stood up again and wanted to kneel.
Su Zhaoning stopped him and asked, "Is it the old woman who made the request?" Directly said that it is to ask for a shop, not to ask for silver? ”
Shopkeeper Chen replied, "Yes." It was the old woman who spoke. Then she said that she wanted this shop to pay for her son's life. ”
Su Zhaoning felt that there was something wrong with this place. The sentence of wanting a shop is enough to prove that he came to the drunken immortal building. But what is the reason behind this not-so-clever design?
The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and the matter in front of them still has to be solved.
Su Zhaoning asked Shopkeeper Chen to go back first, and then instructed Xiaoshu: "You go and find out where this old woman is, whether the dead man is her son or not, and what kind of support does the other party have?" ”
The little tree immediately responded. The things he boasted about before were not done, and he must do a good job of this one.
Within a day, Xiaoshu found out the news.
The old woman and the dead man came from Nanmiao Village. Between the two, it is indeed a mother-son relationship. The strong men brought by the old woman that day were all from Nanmiao Village. said that he went to the drunken fairy building to make trouble because of injustice.
"How can an ordinary farmer dare to go directly to the No. 1 restaurant in the capital to make trouble?" Su Zhaoning felt that things couldn't be that simple.
Xiao Shu scratched his head and replied, "I'm afraid it's because that person's death is indeed related to the Drunken Immortal Building." ”
"I inquired about it side by side, and the people in the village said that this dead immortal had not eaten anything since he came back from the Drunken Immortal Tower. So his death, the villagers all think that it has something to do with Zuixianlou. Xiao Shu didn't think it was troublesome, so he proposed, "I think, if you don't ask the four princes to come forward directly, those villagers won't dare to make trouble if they want to." ”
This is the first time that Xiaoshu has directly revealed his identity.
Su Zhaoning's expression did not change, he just looked at Xiao Shu and asked, "Why didn't Shopkeeper Chen go directly to your master?" ”
