Chapter 52
When Chen Demei heard this, her expression turned ugly.Although she suffered a lot when she was young, she has been the shopkeeper for several years, who is not polite to her?Even those noble ladies who came to buy the goods in short supply in the store would not force themselves to do such trivial things.Yuanning is a little girl, even if she is the biological daughter of her behind-the-scenes funder, she can't call her around like this.

If it wasn't for Suo Chuo Luo's face, she really wanted to slap him.

Seeing that she was not moving, Yuanning became even more bossy: "What? Could it be that I can't command you anymore? Who do you think you are? You are just a slave of our family. After making a few money, I forgot about your serious master who is it?"

Wanning said angrily: "Fourth sister! You are too much! How can you say that about Sister Xiaomei?! Apologize!"

Yuan Ning stood up with a groan: "Which kind of sister is she? Our sister is sitting here, you ignore it, but you call her sister to a servant, what do you think of us sisters?"

Fang Ning tugged at the corner of her clothes from behind, and whispered, "Fourth Sister, stop talking." Yuan Ning pursed her lips tightly and ignored her.

Wanning was even more angry: "Sister Xiaomei is my good friend, what's wrong with me calling her sister? If you say anything about being a slave, I'll tell my second aunt!" She turned to Chen Demei and said, "Xiaomei Sister, leave her alone, she is just going crazy. I thought of a new prescription, which is specially used for summer, and it can make the skin more refreshed. I will show it to you, and you ask someone to try it?"

Chen Demei's eyes lit up, she changed her smile and said yes, then dragged her to another room.Yuanning was left standing there, blushing, wanting to vent her anger, and worried that Wanning would really sue her mother, but she was not reconciled to letting the woman who neglected her go.

The small conflict just now has attracted the attention of the shop assistants outside the door. Several girls looked inside and whispered.Yuanning felt that they were all laughing at her secretly, and felt even more uncomfortable.

Fang Ning called her in a low voice: "Fourth sister... you should sit down first..."

She couldn't take it anymore, turned around and ran out of the shop, Fang Ning anxiously wanted to follow, but also hesitated that Wan Ning was still in another room, not knowing what to do, Shu Ning held her down and said, "I'll just go Sister, sit down first." After saying that, he chased him out.

Shu Ning chased to the outside of the store, and was relieved when she saw Yuan Ning standing outside the door under the eaves, wringing her fingers and being angry to herself.If the little girl ran away, it would be troublesome if she couldn't find her.

She stepped forward and said softly: "Fourth sister, don't be angry, you just don't like the second sister, why should you take your anger on others?"

Yuan Ning said: "I'm not trying to vent my anger, I just can't bear the way that woman flatters my second sister, obviously I'm the master, why does she only regard second sister as the master in her eyes? I've been in the shop for so long, She never even looked at me!"

Shu Ning was angry and funny: "Although I heard that this store is owned by my second aunt, isn't it Miss Chen who makes money in business? Then she is at least a senior manager. Could it be that the senior manager of the mansion, You will also ask her to pour tea for you in person?"

Yuanning hesitated, those people were all famous, she really didn't have the guts yet.

Shuning said again: "Besides, Miss Chen is so attentive to her second sister, maybe it's because of the prescription she has in her hand?" It must be Wanning who taught this girl modern knowledge of natural skin care products and cosmetics. Boss, let others use it to earn money, and it is normal for them to be more enthusiastic because of her favor.

Yuanning thought for a while, and her complexion finally recovered, but in the end she still said in a resentful tone; "Anyway, it's the second sister's fault! One day, I want everyone to hold me in their hands and step on her. Underfoot!"

Shuning felt chills for a while, thinking to herself, Miss Wan, what did you do to Yuanning?The little child has been distorted by you, and he doesn't know what he will become when he grows up.

The four sisters left the Valiant Caifang together soon.Yuanning kept a straight face all the way and didn't talk to anyone. Both Shuning and Fangning had nothing to do with her, but Wanning didn't care. She directly led the way and led everyone to the "Deyue Pavilion" tens of meters away.This is a teahouse controlled by Xingbao behind the scenes.

The storefront of the teahouse is fairly clean, using the traditional layout of the teahouse, without any modern elements.The more special one is probably the storytelling desk on the first floor, where a middle-aged man is sitting and telling a book.When Shu Ning and his group followed Xiaoer to the second floor private room quietly, the storyteller's voice came more clearly.Shu Ning sounded a little familiar, so she took a closer look, and it turned out to be "Swordsman"! (Shuning: Master Jin Yong, have you been copied too?)
The man was talking about Ren Yingying being trapped in Shaolin Temple in order to save Linghu Chong. After Linghu Chong knew about it, he led a group of people to rescue her. Right now, he was having a good conversation with this group of "heroes", but because someone offended Taogu Six Immortals, the man was caught in their hands, and he was about to be torn into several pieces.

All the guests in the teahouse listened attentively, and dared not show their atmosphere.It was only when the tense and exciting scenes turned into funny ones that I felt relieved.The storyteller was very talented, and his words were brilliant, making the audience feel as if they were on the scene, and they all applauded in unison at this time.

The private seats on the second floor are actually booths separated by wooden lattice windows next to the fence of the patio. Several pots of plants over three feet high are placed as shelters, and a thin screen is used to form a small space. It's not really a room.It seems that this is not the first time Wanning and Fangning have come here, the younger brother recognized them, and brought them the usual tea and snacks.Only Yuanning frowned slightly, and secretly wiped the edge of the table with a handkerchief.

Shu Ning looked at the cup, it was still clean, she took a sip of the tea, then looked downstairs over the railing.The storyteller was beaming with joy as he spoke, and the listeners applauded repeatedly.

Wanning listened with gusto, and from time to time said something like "Hey, this storyteller is quite eloquent" or "It's really more exciting than the original novel".Fang Ning just smiled and said nothing, but Shu Ning said darkly: Eldest sister, the wooden lattice windows here have almost no sound insulation effect, and there are people beside, do you want the whole world to know that it is the book you made?

When the storyteller talked about something exciting, there were applause from the guests in the adjacent seats. In the seat diagonally opposite, a scholar in his 30s was sitting alone, holding a paper fan, and he was the loudest applause. , many guests have noticed him, Shuning and the others are no exception.

Someone in the private seat on Shuning's right side whispered: "That person looks familiar, who is it?" "You don't recognize him? He is Lord Chen Liangben, the minister of the upper study. He comes to listen to the book "Swordsman" every day. Even if I don’t have time to come, I’ll call my servant to listen, and I’ll explain it to him when I go back.” “I see, it’s unexpected that such a high-ranking official likes to listen to books.”

Chen Liangben? !

It turned out to be the accomplished cross-stallion dude.Shu Ning hurriedly looked at that man, he just had one nose and two eyes, he was fairly straight-looking, why did so many women fall in love with him?
Strange, he should know the story of "Swordsman"?Is it to miss the days before time travel?

Shuning suddenly remembered something, Wanning and Chen Liangben were both in the capital, did they have contact with each other?She swallowed, and asked in a low voice: "Second sister, someone said that the person diagonally opposite is Mr. Chen Liangben, do you know him?"

Wanning was listening carefully, when she was asked suddenly, she said angrily, "Chen Liangben? That high official? I've never seen that kind of prudish man who married a bunch of wives. Why should I know about him?" about?"

Cough, it seems that Wanning didn't realize that it was a fellow traveler?Still, it's obvious, right?Maybe it's because you don't belong to a social circle, so you haven't met before?It's just that Wan Ning, who was in the capital with Chen Liangben, didn't know anything about things that he himself in Fengtian had heard of. Isn't that too dull?
Shuning never thought that she was also a dull person, and only cared about making fun of others.

She had just finished drinking a cup of tea and was about to eat an extra snack when the storyteller ended today's chapter with the sentence "If you want to know what happens next, let's listen to the next chapter".Wan Ning let out a sigh of relief, and seeing two more singers coming downstairs, she decided to continue listening with great interest, when she suddenly heard Yuan Ning beside her say: "It's so noisy! You can actually sit down?! Let's go!" !"

Wanning was a little disappointed, and as if remembering something in a blink of an eye, she pursed her lips and said with a smile, "If you think it's too noisy here, how about we go to a quieter place to sit?" While speaking, she glanced at Fangning. His face slowly turned red.

When leaving the teahouse, Shu Ning always felt as if someone was watching them and the group. Looking back, she saw the man who was said to be Chen Liangben staring at Wan Ning's back, and a servant who looked like a servant whispered in his ear What, he still nodded inscrutablely.

Shuning felt a chill, and quickly turned around to follow Wanning and the others.

A group of people left the teahouse, Wanning took them for a while, then turned into an alley, stopped in front of a bookstore, turned around and asked, "How about sitting here?"

Shuning looked at the bookstore's facade, it was still clean and tidy, thinking that she hadn't bought a new book since entering Beijing, her heart was itchy, so she walked in.

Yuan Ning followed and walked in, but Wan Ning looked a little surprised, she had no time to stop her, so she had to pull Fang Ning and followed her in.

Shu Ning first saw a collection of essays that she wanted to buy for a long time. Although the author is not well-known, but the words are fresh and beautiful, she and Zhou Yinlan both like it.She hurriedly took the book in her hand first, picked out another travel book, and then went to look at the others.

In addition to poetry collections, there are many miscellaneous books in this store, such as mountains and rivers, geography and travel notes, legendary novels, and notes of anecdotes and strange events.Shu Ning saw a copy of "Yuan Yuan Ji" and felt that the title of the book was interesting, so she took it out to read.Turning a few pages, it is a collection of stories. It tells stories about good people who get rewarded, those who sincerely believe in Buddha and worship gods and get blessings, and those who do good deeds are reincarnated into wealthy families and so on.Although Shu Ning felt that these were deceptive things, Tong Shi seemed to like watching them very much, and it would be good to buy them back to relieve her boredom.

She picked these three books, and was about to take this "Yuan Yuan Ji" to the counter together, but someone took it away. Turning her head, it turned out to be Wanning.

Wan Ning flipped through the book and said, "I thought the third sister would only read easy-to-understand books, but I didn't expect you to like these miscellaneous books too?" She glanced at the travel notes in Shu Ning's other hand Cover, "Can you understand all this?" She looked up at Shu Ning and asked.

Shuning burst into a cold sweat.
