Chapter 102
Shopkeeper Liu has sharp ears and eyes, and he has heard the whispers of the two masters and servants long ago, but he just didn't notice it, and said firmly: "If Madam is interested, I won't charge too much. This material is only two feet in total, and you can bring one or two taels of silver." Walk."

Ah Xiang bluffed and said, "A tael of silver?! Shopkeeper, why don't you go grab it?"

The ready-made clothes sold by the cloth shop can be sold for less than one tael of silver, and these two feet of cloth are only enough to make a suit of clothes.

Shopkeeper Liu smiled and said to Yun Lian: "Ouch, ma'am! Do you still think it's expensive? Just now that girl wanted to buy...and even said that she would pay two taels of silver for my fabric, but I refused! It's so elegant and elegant. You are the only one who is worthy of such tricks!"

Yun Lian saw shopkeeper Liu mentioning Yao Shu, and the evil fire in his heart burst out again unconsciously. After hearing the shopkeeper's words, some secret pleasure like a sense of victory arose in the anger.

She stopped Ah Xiang with her eyes, smiled at shopkeeper Liu and said, "Shopkeeper, I want all these two feet of cloth."

Shopkeeper Liu's wrinkled face rolled into a ball of laughter, and he responded loudly, "Okay! I'll ask the shop assistant to wrap it up for you—"

As he said that, he took the fabrics on the table away, and went to the warehouse behind the store to find a buddy.

Seeing that the master really bought the fabric, Ah Xiang was a little dumbfounded: "Husband, madam, this fabric is really not cheap..."

Rural people buy cloth for only a few copper coins per foot. Even if there are more styles, they will never reach the high price of one tael of silver.

A-Cui is not as talkative as A-Xiang, but she always speaks words that are in line with her master's wishes. She laughed at A-Xiang and said, "I haven't seen the world, what's the matter with a tael of silver? Madam is so favored, as long as you talk to the master, how much money will you get?" The master is also willing to give it."

Although the two servants have always referred to Yun Lian as "Madam", she is just a concubine who wants to get some money and has to try her best to please others; while that old and embellished wife can spend whatever she wants .

Thinking of this, the injustice in Yun Lian's heart surged again.

She sneered and asked, "Ah Cui, have you really seen clearly, the one at home also has similar fabrics?"

A Cui was very thoughtful, so she naturally knew that the master had her own ideas, so she didn't ask too many questions, she just replied: "Yes, I just bought it two days ago, the color and pattern are similar."

Yun Lian nodded, with a plan in mind.

The man wrapped the fabric, and the shopkeeper delivered it out himself.After one master and two servants paid the money and walked away with high spirits, shopkeeper Liu laughed and said, "It's just one person who has a lot of money."

The shopkeeper saw that Shopkeeper Liu had collected a tael of silver from the shopkeeper, and his mouth was almost stuffed with eggs. He hesitated and said, "Master, this, cheating customers like this, isn't it good? We don't plan to use these two feet of fabric to give Miss, the shop next door is used for curtains...?"

Shopkeeper Liu turned his head and slapped the guy on the back of the head, cursing: "Your master, when did I take the initiative to cheat people? I didn't even ask what the situation was - this woman is not a good fruit, if she bullies our lady, how dare she bully her?" It's my uncle's idea! If you don't cheat her, who will you cheat!"

The buddy let out an "ah" and stopped talking.

After a while, he hesitated and asked again: "Then, we sold the cloth, what about the curtains?"

Shopkeeper Liu leaned his elbows on the counter, so angry that he didn't want to speak: "How many times have I said, I have to remember which fabrics are in stock and how much they are worth... Such cheap fabrics are thin and easy to tear, and there are many in the warehouse. yes!"

The man recalled it for a while, then nodded, and said with a smile, "Okay, master, I will definitely pay attention next time! I have only cleaned up half of the warehouse, so I will go to work now, and I will trouble you to entertain guests outside!"

As he said that, he swiftly put back the tables and chairs that were disturbed when the guests left just now, and hurriedly went to sort out the inventory.

Shopkeeper Liu had just finished a big order and vented his anger on Yao Shu. He was happy at first, but looking at the back of the clerk who was doing everything well, he finally touched the bead string in his hand and let out a long sigh.

"This brat, you still have to rely on me to worry about him everywhere..."

On the other side, Lin Rong and Yao Shu had already arrived in front of the teahouse, and Yao Shu told Lin Rong to wait outside while she handed over Yu Zhi.

When she came in, she happened to see Yu Zhi arguing with the owner of the restaurant.

The owner of the restaurant, surnamed Zhang, was tall and strong, with a big gold chain around his neck, his face was full of flesh, and the thin and small Yu Zhi couldn't even match the strength of an arm in front of him.

Yao Shu also thought that Yu Zhi was being bullied, so he went up to look, and heard Boss Zhang say in a hoarse voice: "Little brother, you have to reason with me, let's talk about it today—you are in my teahouse Storytellers naturally have to follow my rules, isn't that right?"

With a helpless face, Yu Zhi nodded and said yes.

Boss Zhang said again: "Then I'm the boss, I'll pay you money to ask you to tell a story, why don't you accept the money?!"

Yao Shu's aggressive footsteps stopped, and he looked at Boss Zhang with suspicion, and asked, "Boss Zhang, what's going on?"

Boss Zhang didn't notice that there were customers coming to the teahouse again, and when he saw Yao Shu suddenly, he was startled, the fat on his face trembled, and he fell silent again.

He hesitated: "This girl is...?"

Yao Shu stood beside Yu Zhi, and said, "I am Yu Zhi's new god-sister."

Yu Zhi opened his mouth, just wanting to say when she became his god-sister, but Yao Shu secretly pinched his arm and swallowed the words in his mouth.

Boss Zhang did not suspect him, and said to Yao Shu, "This kid came to our teahouse to tell a story..."

Yu Zhi protested: "Boss Zhang, I'm about to be crowned, I'm not a kid!"

Comparing his body shape with Boss Zhang, doesn't he look like a child?
Boss Zhang nodded perfunctorily: "Oh, this little scholar, a scholar... He has been here to tell stories for a long time. At the beginning, he agreed to talk for ten days every month. If the guests are popular, he will give him a tael of silver." It's better to let him go to Beijing earlier."

There was nothing wrong with Yao Shu hearing this.

Boss Zhang went on: "Although it's less than a month now, he has said enough for ten times. He came to me today to say goodbye. I planned to give him this tael of silver, but this stubborn scholar refused to accept it." Already!"

Yu Zhi hurriedly waved his hands and said to Yao Shu: "That's not the case—Boss Zhang provided me with food and drink these days, and he spent a lot of money; besides, according to the agreement at the time, I had to talk for one month, but now I have only talked for ten. Yu Ri, how can I collect money from others?"

Yao Shu's face was full of black lines when he heard this, and he just felt that he couldn't understand what was going on in Yu Zhi's mind.

She looked at the scholar and asked, "Didn't you say it enough ten times? Besides, you don't charge money, so where do you get to go to Beijing? Do you think you only need to spend money on the road? When you arrive in the capital, you don't have to pay for accommodation and meals?" "

Yu Zhi murmured, "Yeah, it's not that I don't want to accept it, it's just that one tael of silver is too much."

Boss Zhang looked at Yao Shu, spread his hands and said, "Look at this! What should I do?"

Yao Shu smiled at Boss Zhang reassuringly, and began to persuade Yu Zhi: "Boss Zhang is a generous person, otherwise how would he know that you are down and out, so they let you come to the teahouse to tell stories? It is clear that he wants to help you. It turned out that he came to you , don’t appreciate it anymore? What’s the point of having to argue with others clearly!”

Boss Zhang was not good at words, and nodded after hearing Yao Shu's words: "Big sister, that's what you mean!"

Yu Zhi still wanted to be stubborn, and said in his mouth: "But you don't get paid for nothing, Boss Zhang has helped me a lot, and I will take your money again, I really feel uncomfortable..."

Yao Shu showed all his patience, and said to the scholar, "If you have trouble sleeping and eating, you should study hard and go to the capital as soon as possible. After you pass the Juren exam, come to Qingtong Town to find Boss Zhang, and thank him for this gift." The grace of money. You still tell the book, isn’t this just the good story written in the book for future generations to tell?”

Boss Zhang also said aside: "That's right, that's exactly the reason."

Yu Zhi saw that he was stupid in reading, and his mind was single-minded. Hearing Yao Shu's words, he felt very reasonable.

He nodded involuntarily, and thanked the boss: "Boss Zhang is chivalrous, and Yu Zhi has no teeth to forget!"

Seeing this, Boss Zhang finally breathed a sigh of relief, put the one tael of silver that he was pushing back and forth into the scholar's hand, and said, "It doesn't matter if you forget it or not. I'll give you the book that I've talked about for ten days." The teahouse has brought a lot of business. Take the exam well! If you win the number one prize in the future, our teahouse will also be honored. This is the teahouse where the number one scholar used to be a storyteller..."

As he spoke, he laughed heartily a few times, and patted Yu Zhi's shoulder again, almost numb half of his body.

The three of them exchanged a few more pleasantries before Yao Shu led Yu Zhi out of the tea house and met Lin Rong.
