Chapter 7 Entering the Tower

"If I had known, I wouldn't have gone to the Suocui Tower for a drink that day!"

Song Guichen regretted his mistake, and kept beating the handrail on the stones by the lake.

"Girl, don't worry about it." A man in his thirties and 40s came over, "Human life, what can't be solved? Girl is young, why seek death?"

"Ah? Brother Han——"

Seeing the visitor, Song Guichen blurted out, and then secretly regretted that he couldn't help his forehead.

She recognized the man, the man was Han Song who was hired by the Shocui Tower, and she had relied on his blessings to eat and drink in the Shocui Tower.

Seeing Song Guichen calling himself "Brother Han" so familiarly, Han Song was very surprised: "Have we met before?"

"Ah, yes, yes." Song Guichen said haha, "Brother Han is generous and generous. He helped me pay for my medicine a few years ago. The kindness is unforgettable. I saw my benefactor again today. Some gaffe."

"I see."

Han Song didn't remember helping such a sallow and emaciated little girl at all. It was just paying for the medicine.

"I saw you staring at the lake all the time. I was worried that you couldn't think about it, so I came over to have a look. What difficulties did you encounter?"

"This—" Song Guichen's eyes lit up, and he grabbed Han Song's sleeve, "Brother Han bought it from the Shocuilou, right? Can you let me work as a cook in the Shocuilou? Well, I can also be a handyman. , I’m not boasting, the food I cook is delicious, Brother Han—”

By coincidence, Han Song really agreed to Song Guichen's unreasonable request.

Bringing Song Guichen to the Suocui Tower, Han Song said, "By the way, I don't know your name yet."

Song Guichen was about to blurt it out, but then he thought that he knew the original self, and the name Song Guichen couldn't be used anymore, so he said, "I have no father or mother, and I don't know what my last name is, so Brother Han calls me little Dust."

Han Song couldn't help feeling pity again: "Okay, Xiaochen, the monthly salary of the cook in Shuocuilou is eight taels of silver, and the monthly salary of the helper is four taels. You are new here now, so you can only start as a helper."

"Yeah, yes, yes." Song Guichen nodded hastily.

"If you have no place to go, you can live in the dormitory provided by the Shuo Cui Building for the handymen, but you will be charged a monthly accommodation fee of [-] yuan."

"definitely no problem!"

For Song Guichen now, as long as there is a place she can go to, she will be thankful and grateful, so she won't be picky about anything else.

What's more, as the most famous restaurant in Hangzhou, the salary offered by Shuo Cui Lou is much more favorable than other places.

With such a condition, no one else could get in if they wanted to, but she got it without any effort, so she was even more grateful for Han Song's help.

After looking Song Guichen up and down, Han Song threw a silver bag to Song Guichen and said:
"The color of your clothes is too dull. Use the money to buy a few clothes of your age. Don't rush to work these days. Eat more to replenish your body. It's not good to be so thin as a cook."

Song Guichen was on the verge of crying, Brother Han was simply the most kind person in the world.

She used to come to Shocuilou often, so naturally she knew that Shocuilou was an official restaurant, from the head of the building to the handymen, she had very high demands on everyone.

Not to mention the cook, even the bartender in the store must be a handsome young man with good looks and good speech.

For a restaurant, although it sells wine, it still depends on delicious dishes to attract diners, so a good cook is very important.

Her current status is just an orphan from other places, and her appearance is not good. It is already a great kindness to buy Han Song and let her, a little girl whom she met for the first time, enter the back kitchen.

Song Guichen didn't refuse anymore, took the silver bag, and said gratefully: "Thank you Brother Han, after I send out the monthly money, I will definitely return the money for buying clothes to Brother Han."

Han Song waved his hand casually: "Since you call me big brother, you can use this money with peace of mind."

As he spoke, he recruited a bartender and told him to take Song Guichen to the servant's residence.

"I still have something to do. This is Zhou Qiang, the bartender. If you need anything in the future, you can find him."

It just so happened that Song Guichen, the bartender, also knew him. Half a year ago, he came to Shengcuilou to drink in a fit of anger, and he was the one who received him.

"Brother Zhou, my name is Xiaochen, and I am taking care of you."

Although Zhou Qiang is a man, his lips are red and his teeth are white. He is only 24 or [-] years old.

Knowing that Han Caiban wanted to take in this homeless little girl, he was amazed at Han Song's kindness, and said to Song Guichen while walking: "Little girl, you really met a good person, Han Caiban's good name is in the world." Hangzhou is famous."

"Yes."

Song Guichen was also filled with emotion. Unexpectedly, she came to Hangzhou from Kaifeng through untold hardships, but failed to return to her master's side, and instead became a cook's assistant in Shengcuilou.

"By the way, Brother Zhou, I'm asking you for someone."

"Who?"

"It's the hermit on the lonely mountain of West Lake——Lin Bu, Brother Zhou, have you seen it?"

Song Guichen originally wanted to inquire about the fake Song Guichen directly, but after all, his master is well-known, so it wouldn't be strange to inquire about him.

If you inquire about an unknown woman, the other party is likely to be on guard.

Sure enough, when she heard that the person Song Guichen wanted to inquire about was Lin Bu, Zhou Qiang smiled and said, "So you are inquiring about Mr. Lin, this Mr. Lin married Lu Gushan ten years ago and has never set foot in the urban area so far, let alone me. Oh, Mr. Wang, a new state official from Kaifeng who wanted to see him a few days ago, was turned away."

"My lord? Which lord?"

Zhou Qiang lowered her voice and said, "You're young, I'm afraid you don't know yet, it's that 'Gall Xiang' Wang Qinruo."

Song Guichen couldn't help but let out an "oh".

The current Prime Minister Wang Qinruo, Song Guichen naturally knew about it.

Over the years, it was this prime minister who had engaged in absurd and superstitious activities in order to cater to the emperor's will.

Wang Qinruo was treacherous and good at sowing dissension. In the early years, he vigorously provoked the relationship between Song Zhenzong and Kou Zhun, accusing the Chanyuan alliance as an alliance under the city, and Kou Zhun was dismissed.

Later, he forged heavenly scriptures and invited the emperor to confer Zen on Mount Tai, and built palaces and temples on Mount Tai, which cost people money and made a lot of money.

On the way Song Guichen came to Hangzhou all the way from Kaifeng, he also heard many people's resentment and hatred towards Wang Qinruo.

The locust plague among the people was so severe that there was no harvest. The court ministers headed by Wang Qinruo actually told the emperor that the locusts would "die in the grass", which was an auspicious sign, representing the peace and prosperity of the Song Dynasty, and the reopening of the heaven of Yao and Shun.

He simply doesn't pay attention to the life and death of the people at all, and even plays with the officials like children.

Master is the most shameless of such a rambunctious, treacherous and treacherous person, so naturally he doesn't want to make friends with them, and it is already a great deal of face for him to reject them.

"Brother Zhou, why did the prime minister come to Hangzhou?"

"You don't know, under Prime Minister Wang Dan's blunt admonition, the officials knew that the disaster was serious among the people, and they were very dissatisfied with Wang Qinruo and others' bullying, so they demoted them to Hangzhou."

Song Guichen was speechless, this is no derogation.

Hangzhou is rich and prosperous, if Wang Qinruo made such a big mistake, the officials just demoted him to Hangzhou state official, which is enough to show how much the officials value him.

"I'm afraid it won't be long before he will return to Kaifeng again and pay respects again."

Hearing Song Guichen say this, Zhou Qiang couldn't help but look at Song Guichen twice more.

Obviously, it was unexpected that Song Guichen, who was not good-looking at such a young age, but a female stream, would have such insight.

　The second historical figure appears: Wang Qinruo, a minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, served as prime minister twice during the Song Zhenzong and Song Renzong periods, and one of the five ghosts.It was this person who, in order to cater to the needs of Song Zhenzong's immortality, forged the heavenly scriptures and made Zhenzong enshrine Mount Tai, and staged a farce in which the monarch and his ministers performed together.Moreover, this person is treacherous and treacherous, and does all kinds of evil!Best at framing Zhongliang, opportunistic, sowing discord, and blaming others!
