Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 223

After half a cup of tea, Duan Er fled away from the tea shop as if fleeing, and the people who watched the excitement in front of the door also dispersed. Those who were busy with their business, and those who had nothing to do all flocked to the land temple to worship the gods.

Inside the tea shed, Mrs. Zhao was still afraid for a while when she thought about the situation just now, and kept saying, "Young Master Fangcai really scared me to death! Why did you remember to take a knife? Fortunately, the knife didn't really cut down. It's a good thing." risk"

"Yeah, it's so risky, I almost couldn't continue acting." Wen Shu breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the tea that Mrs. Zhao had just poured for her, and took a big gulp.

"Huh? Acting? My boss is just now"

"Scare him, my sister-in-law won't think I'm really going to kill him." Wen Shu turned to look at her with a smile, and blinked playfully with her big bright eyes.

Uh. Can you think it's true? She was so scared that her legs went limp just now!

"It's fine if it's not true. I just said that Xiao Dong is a smart person, why can't he think about it so much." After a while, Mrs. Zhao stroked her chest and murmured: "That's good, that's good."

Wen Shu smiled lightly and said: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'm not that stupid. Killing people pays for their lives. Don't talk about such small things, no matter how big things happen in the future, as long as my father is not dead, I will not take my life lightly. I will pay for my life." To raise him forever."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhao nodded again and again, "It's right for Xiaodong to think so. There is nothing hard to overcome in this life. It is the most stupid thing to lose your life because of a little gossip from others. But Xiaodong just now This method is too risky, if Second Master Duan refuses to bow his head, how will you end up?"

"I've thought about this."

"I will bow my head." Wen Shu took a sip of tea and said, "It just depends on how ruthless the scares are."

At that time, Second Master Duan had a group of brothers at his command, and he had made a lot of money over the years, his wife and concubine had a good life, so he was not willing to die so easily.

Those with bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes, as long as she is open-minded and not only afraid of death, as long as the second master Duan wants to live, he will definitely admit defeat and let her dictate.

"Oh, that's really ruthless. Second Master Duan has a bloody gash on his neck. The young master's courage is something that ordinary people can't imitate." Mrs. Zhao said angrily, slapping her chest.

Wen Shu smiled and said nothing.

He thought to himself: What is this? I think back then, when she hit the three streets and four alleys, that was a prestige.

While he was thinking, the straw curtain at the back door was lifted suddenly, and Goudan's small body was exposed. He opened his big eyes, glanced at the two of them, and then said to Mrs. Zhao in a low voice: "Mother, I hungry."

"Ah, my baby is awake, I'm hungry, mother will bring you steamed buns."

"Quick, get up and let me say goodbye."

"Oh, don't squeeze, don't squeeze, I haven't finished praying yet."

"Worshiping the gods deserves incense. You come here naked so that the gods can bless you."

"What do you know, sincerity leads to success, it doesn't matter if the incense sticks can be replenished in the future, the Land Lord will not blame you."

There was a commotion in front of the Earth Temple, men and women, 30 people kneeled in several rows in front of the Earth Temple, occupying half of the huge official road.

At this time, a girl in a red dress and a red skirt was running towards the city gate on a brown horse. Seeing this strange situation, the girl hurriedly reined in the horse and slowed down.

After a while, she got off her horse by the tethering post on the right side of the tea shed. After fastening the horse, she looked at those people suspiciously and walked quickly into the tea shed.

"Sister-in-law Zhao, serve two bowls of tea soup."

The loud voice startled Wen Shu, who was about to stand up and look outside.

"Four girls.!"

"Wen Shu."

"How did you come?"

"Why are you here?"

"My third uncle and Liu Lang are coming to Beijing today, and I'll come outside the city to welcome you. Didn't you just hurt your foot? Why are you here?"

"It's not a serious injury. It's boring to be idle at home. Come here to breathe."

Upon hearing this, Chu Hong ran behind her a few times, and said cheerfully: "That's good, my third uncle and the others don't know when you will be here, so we can talk together." He helped Wenshu to sit down, while sitting opposite her.

"Here comes the tea soup." Mrs. Zhao came over with two bowls of tea soup. When she heard the commotion outside the door, she stretched her head and took a look. It’s a pity that it’s sold”

It's a pity to miss such a good opportunity to make money.

Wen Shu understood what she was saying, and couldn't help but chuckle and said, "It's a pity, my sister-in-law will have time to buy it tomorrow."

Mrs. Zhao was startled, and then happily said: "What does the Master mean?"

Wen Shu glanced outside, and said with a smile: "How can you worship God only once? My sister-in-law can get some incense candles. It just so happens that there is an extra corner of the east eaves. My sister-in-law will set up a small stall under the eaves. Wouldn't it be good to surround it with straw mats, so that the wind and rain can't get through."

"It's indeed a good idea, but the boss allows me to set up a booth to sell incense?" Mrs. Zhao hesitated.

"Why not." Wen Shu was straightforward, leaned back, and said with a smile: "Since I have the care of the land master, I should make this incense more prosperous. Setting up a booth to sell incense can not only facilitate pilgrims, but also allow my sister-in-law to earn money." A small flower is a matter of killing two birds with one stone, so why not do it."

"Thank you, my master, thank you, my master." Mrs. Zhao was overjoyed and bowed to Wen Shu again and again as she added another entry.

Wen Shu waved her hand to tell her not to be polite.

Miss Chu Si looked curiously at the side, and couldn't help asking: "What are you talking about? And what's going on with those people outside? Why are they worshiping God together? It's never been so lively in the past."

Wen Shu smiled and said nothing.

Seeing Miss Chu Si's confused face, Mrs. Zhao kindly explained, "Because I asked for something." Then she told Wen Shu's dream again.

"Really, fake? So amazing." After hearing this, Chu Hong looked at Wen Shu in surprise.

Naturally it is false, but she wants to make the false true.

Wen Shu glanced outside, and said with a light smile, "Who knows, maybe it's just a coincidence, but they believed it."

"Can you believe it or not? After hearing what you said, I want to believe it." Miss Chu Si paused for a moment, then got up immediately and said, "No, I'll pay my respects too." After finishing speaking, she had already left the gate of the tea shed.

Wen Shu: .
"Cherries are for sale, cherries are for sale, the freshly picked cherries are sweet and full of water, my lady, let's buy some."

At this time, a fruit farmer in his fifties came over from the official road with a load. Seeing this, the people worshiping the gods empty-handed immediately went up to inquire about the price, thinking that if it was suitable, they would buy some offerings to the gods and use them as incense sticks.

Seeing that these people were worshiping the gods, the fruit grower knew that they were going to buy them as offerings, so he didn't dare to raise the price too much, for fear of being blamed by the gods, he said: "Ten coins a catty, just picked this morning, it's fresh."

This price is acceptable to most people, so you buy a catty, I buy half a catty, and after a while, I buy half of the fruits brought by the fruit farmers.

Miss Chu Si also followed suit, but she was from a wealthy family, and she was able to sell six catties.

After selling out here, the Guo family saw that there were people in the tea shed, so they went over with their load again, "Young lady, I want to buy some fresh cherries just picked."

Wen Shu looked at it twice, and seeing that it looked good, she asked Mrs. Zhao to weigh ten catties.

After a while, the Fourth Miss Chu came over from the Land Temple, and Wen Shu invited her to eat the washed fruit.

Fourth Miss Chu squeezed a bright red round cherry in her hand, and said to Wen Shu with a smile: "The strange way is at the foot of the emperor, even a cherry is better than ours."

Wen Shu joked with a smile, "The fourth girl likes Bianliang so much, why don't you find a husband's house in Beijing, so that we can meet each other often in the future."

The Fourth Miss Chu didn't blush, she glanced at her, and countered: "Okay, do you know any good sons, please introduce me."

Well,,,,,,,
"The good boy doesn't know it, but the bad boy knows a few, and the fourth girl wants to hear it..." Wen Shu blinked again and smiled.

"Go, go, don't bring me down."

Amid the laughter, the sun gradually swept back from the roof, and it was almost noon.
