Chapter 90

Early in the morning, the first thing to get up is not the big rooster in the alley, but the shopkeeper who sells his own shop and waits to exchange it for silver.

Thinking that he could get 500 taels of silver, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep.Lying on the broken bed for a while, he was woken up by the barking of dogs in the shop.He didn't lose his temper as usual, he opened the window and saw that it was already dawn, and immediately changed into a dress he thought was decent, and prepared to go to the address written on the paper to exchange the money.

The address is in the center of the capital. The shopkeeper forcibly woke up the owner of the carriage and horse shop, and picked and picked in the shed rather pickily, and finally only rented the cheapest carriage, which made the boss very angry.

After getting into the carriage and reporting the address, the old man driving the carriage said, "What are you doing there?"

"What's none of your business? Mind your own business." The shopkeeper said angrily.

The old man let out a "hey" and wanted to remind him that that place was an office set up by eunuchs outside the palace, and people with yin and yang auras were often seen haunting it.I didn't expect his attitude to be so bad. Forget it, he deserves it.

The carriage arrived at the address reported by the shopkeeper, and the old man took the copper coin and left without looking back, for fear that it would be bad luck if he left late.

The shopkeeper didn't realize it, and happily walked towards the door.

He came so early that the porter hadn't risen yet.

Because the back here is the one in the palace, how can anyone who doesn't have good eyes dare to provoke him.So on weekdays, the doorkeeper would open the door and sleep a little longer.

Walking into the door, the shopkeeper looked around and murmured in his heart.

This place doesn't look like a residential mansion...

Knocked on the door, there was a tea drinker inside who heard it too, and was also puzzled.

He received Yan Wenmao's order to investigate the beauty in red in Huancaiyuan, so he got up early to look through the file to see if there was anything available.

Someone actually came here so early, is there another accident in the palace?

The shopkeeper was trembling with excitement outside the door, and as soon as the door opened, he said with a smile on his face, "Master..."

The words got stuck in half.

The man in front of him looks feminine, with a white face and no beard, and he is wearing eunuch's special clothes. This, isn't this an eunuch?
He was so frightened that the souls of the dead trembled, and he shouted in his heart that he would kill me!

The eunuch saw that the shopkeeper's face was pale, his lips were trembling and he could barely speak, so he said impatiently, "Who are you? What are you doing here early in the morning?"

"I, little one, little one..." the shopkeeper stammered.

"Say it quickly! If you don't tell me, you will be punished!" the eunuch threatened impatiently.

The shopkeeper had no choice but to tell the truth about the fact that the two came to his store to buy puppies and storefronts.

"Who are the names of the two people you mentioned?" the eunuch asked suspiciously.

The shopkeeper tried his best to recall, and said, "The surname is Yan."

"Huh?" The eunuch frowned, Yan, isn't that Yan?It sounds like Chitose is bringing a woman...

"Do you have any evidence? If you dare to make up anything, I will pull out your tongue and feed it to the dogs!"

The shopkeeper was so frightened, he took out the paper from his arms and stretched it towards the eunuch tremblingly.

The eunuch snatched the paper impatiently, and after a closer look, it turned out to be Chitose's handwriting.

"..." Chitose actually took the girl to the market and even bought her a shop?

The eunuch's expression became very strange, and the shopkeeper thought there was something wrong, so his hands and feet became weak and he fell to the ground.

"Get up, follow me in to get the money."

"No, no, no, I don't dare, the villain doesn't want it anymore..." The shopkeeper didn't dare to go in, for fear that what was waiting for him was not money, but all kinds of torture.

"You don't want it if you say no?" The eunuch shook the paper, "Do you know who wants your shop? You don't understand if I tell you. It's not up to you, get up!"

The shopkeeper tremblingly followed him in and got a silver ticket of 500 taels.

After handing over the land deed and the house deed, holding the bank note in his hand, he felt like he was dreaming, and he walked crookedly.

The thing was obtained, but the shopkeeper was not half happy, he just wished he could give birth to a pair of wings and escape from the sky.

"Don't go yet." The eunuch thought of something and said, "I'll ask some people to go with you and tidy up the shop."

The shopkeeper thought of the dirty look in his shop, and his back suddenly became even more curved.

The eunuch knocked on the door to wake up the people. After the people apologized, they said to the shopkeeper in a vicious voice: "What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you lead the way?"

The shopkeeper bit the bullet and took the man out, saying: "Guys, do you want some carriages?"

"No need." The leader waved his hand, "I woke up early in the morning and didn't eat any food, so I went to the restaurant to eat something first."

Needless to say, the shopkeeper must pay the bill.

It was almost noon, and the few people finally had their fill of wine and food, and had seen enough performances, so they asked the shopkeeper to go out and call for a carriage, and they wanted the biggest and best ones.

The shopkeeper's heart was bleeding, but he still had to smile.

They got on the carriage and came to the pet shop. Seeing the scene inside, they scolded the shopkeeper in dissatisfaction, and the shopkeeper had to take cleaning tools to clean up.

Fortunately, after all, it was the job assigned to them by the eunuch. After watching the cage for half an hour, they finally did it.

In the evening, the store was cleaned to a clean slate. The shopkeeper only felt pain in his back and arms. After cleaning up the last dirt in the backyard, he came to the front with his things.

Several people were vigorously washing cats and dogs, and they were wearing an extra layer of scratch-resistant outerwear, and small copper pieces were sewn on their arms to prevent bites.

There were not many birds left, and the dead ones were thrown away. The other living ones were put away by category in beautiful cages that I got from nowhere, and fed and watered.

The shopkeeper stood by and didn't dare to say a word. He had never heard of what his father taught him, so he kept the shop in such a state, how dare he intervene without authorization.

Seeing the shopkeeper standing there with nothing to do, several people asked him to come over and grab the cat, and the shopkeeper had no choice but to pinch his nose and do it...

In the middle of the night, everything was done. The cats and dogs were dried, fed and caged. There were newly bought cages everywhere in the shop.

Fortunately, a few people lost interest in drinking, asked the shopkeeper for some food money, and left.

One stayed in the store to watch, and asked the shopkeeper to buy him something to eat.

Exhausted by the torment, the shopkeeper stooped to buy food, which shocked everyone he knew.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Forget it, the shop is sold." The shopkeeper said weakly, "Two meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes, and a jug of wine."

"Ouch, I ate so well today, I really got rich." The person from the small restaurant said, but the corners of his mouth actually twitched.

He even sold the places handed down by his ancestors, what a prodigal.

The shopkeeper went back with his things, looking at a familiar yet unfamiliar place, not knowing where he should go.

"What are you still doing here? Didn't you get the money to sell the shop? Why don't you hurry up?"

The shopkeeper walked out the door, looked back, and sighed slightly.

There are 300 taels of silver, which is not bad.

He never wanted to come to this capital again.
