As soon as the sign announcing the closure of the bookstore was put up, Yang Ergou came back.
"Master, Ergou is back."
The bookstore was there, and Yang Ergou's voice came slowly.
He opened the door, walked to Ling Yun, saluted, and said slowly, "Master, Ergou is back."
Yang Ergou was sweating profusely at this time, and the clothes on his back were soaked with sweat. He couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
"I'm back, I did a good job today!"
Yang Ergou scratched his head in embarrassment, lowered his head and said, "Young Master is joking, this is what Ergou should do."
Ling Yun casually threw a money bag to Yang Ergou, which contained twenty-two taels of silver.
Yang Ergou held the money bag in his hand and opened it. He was stunned to see that it contained silver, and the amount seemed to be quite large. He looked at Ling Yun in confusion, wanting to know what this meant.
Seeing Yang Ergou who was at a loss, Ling Yun explained with a smile, "Don't be nervous, there's nothing else to say. These are twenty-two taels. Hand them out as an extra reward for today."
Then he looked at Xiao He and the others, each of them gave ten taels of silver, and said softly, "Hey! This is today's bonus for the three of you."
The three of them were shocked. Although they didn't understand what the bonus meant, they could get ten taels of silver a day. They were a little nervous, breathing quickly, and looked at Ling Yun in unison.
Seeing their nervous expressions, Ling Yun comforted them, "Don't think so wildly. If you follow me, Ling Yun, you won't let them suffer."
Upon hearing this, the three of them said in unison, "Thank you, Master." "Thank you, Master Yun."
Since Ling Yun said so, they will not return the money.
The hand holding the money in his hand tightened, thinking that as long as he followed Ling Yun well, he would definitely be able to succeed in the future.
Especially Xiao He and Ah Fu, during this period, they experienced firsthand Ling Yun's generous spending.
He was just helping out, but the money was never less for them. They could get as much as Yang Ergou took.
Sometimes they wonder, does Ling Yun already regard them as his?
Otherwise, why would Yang Ergou be paid as much as they were paid?
He glanced at Ling Yun thoughtfully and had other thoughts in his heart.
Yang Ergou held his own ten taels of silver in his left hand and the person below him's twenty taels of silver in his right hand. He stood there and smiled stupidly.
Seeing this, Ling Yun also stood up.
I thought to myself that people at the bottom of society are so easy to be satisfied. No matter how much you earn, as long as you can give them a little bit, they will be satisfied and die for it.
Today he earned more than a thousand taels. Even if all costs and labor fees were deducted, he would have made at least a thousand taels.
However, after earning so much, he could only give out a tiny bit of the bonus to make Yang Ergou die devoted to him. Why not?
He patted Yang Ergou on the shoulder and reminded, "You give them the bonus first, and then take them directly to Chunmanlou next door. Just tell them that I am happy today, young master, and treat them to dinner and drinks."
Yang Ergou came back to his senses, looked at him nervously, and said hesitantly, "Young Master...Young Master, this bonus has been given out so much, don't you need to eat and drink?"
Facing Yang Ergou's refusal, Ling Yun smiled and said nothing, took the money and started eating again. Knowing that he was embarrassed, he paused for a while and said, "I'm fine, go down and give the orders!"
"Yes, Master."
Yang Ergou accepted the order and went directly to distribute the money.
Ling Yun turned his head, looked at Xiao He and the other two, and said with a smile, "Xiao He, Ah Fu, you guys will go too."
Suddenly he remembered that Wang Jinghui was still in the inn, so he said, "Xiao He, please go to the inn and tell Brother Wang that I will treat him to dinner."
"Okay! Master Yun."
Xiao He accepted the order and went out directly.
A quarter of an hour later, the panting Xiao He left and returned. Ling Yun looked outside and did not see Wang Jinghui. He was confused and had to look at Xiao He.
Then Xiao He was still exhaling loudly. When he saw Ling Yun looking at him, he was out of breath and said, "Yun...Master Yun, my young master said...that he won't come if he has something to do."
"oh?"
Now it was Ling Yun's turn to be confused. He really couldn't think of anything that could happen if Wang Jinghui stayed in the inn.
"Brother Wang, are you sure this is the answer?"
"Yes, Master Yun."
Ling Yun thought for a moment, stared at Xiao He and said, "Brother Wang, are you going out?"
Yang Ergou blurted out, "Master Yun, how do you know..."
But before he spoke, he hurriedly covered his mouth, as if he had something to hide.
Seeing this, Ling Yun asked, "Xiao He, why are you doing this?"
Xiao He's eyes dodge, he hesitated, and hesitantly said, "Master Yun, the master won't let me talk."
Ling Yun was even more confused now, why was it so mysterious?
Could it be that he is going to do something bad?
Looking at Xiao He again, his eyes unconsciously looked to the other side. Ling Yun thought about it in his mind and couldn't help but laugh. Didn't Wang Jinghui say that it would be okay to stay in the inn?
This time, she carried him to other places to have fun, and deliberately hid it from him. It was really...
"Since Brother Wang isn't coming, let's go have dinner first!"
So the three of them locked the store and were about to walk towards Chunmanlou. However, they saw Yang Ergou leading a group of people and crowding at the door of Chunmanlou.
Seeing this, Xiao He stood up immediately and asked, "Master Yun, why don't you rest in the store for a while, and I will go over to find out what happened?"
Ling Yun waved his hand and said, "No, let's go over and take a look together."
Ling Yun approached Chun Man Lou and stood beside the crowd. When those people saw him, they immediately saluted and said, "Master Yun."
"Yeah!" Ling Yun nodded.
After saying that they had to leave the path for a day, Ling Yun saw this and did not go in. Instead, he stood aside and listened to what they were saying.
The moment Ling Yun looked up, he vaguely heard the sound of their quarrel.
I only heard the shop owner bossing me around, pointing at Yang Ergou and scolding arrogantly, "You people, dressed in rags and looking poor, are you worthy of entering my Chunmanlou? Don't you think that I, Chunmanlou, are just like you?"
Isn’t this a shelter for you beggars?”
Faced with the shop owner's aggressive tone, Yang Ergou had veins popping up on his forehead. He pointed at him with slightly trembling fingers and gritted his teeth and said, "You...don't bully others too much! We are all here to eat. You open the store and do what you want."
Business, why don’t you let us in?”
When he heard Yang Ergou say that he wanted to go in for dinner, the shop owner didn't care about the feelings of Yang Ergou and others and laughed loudly. It seemed that this sentence meant that he had heard the funniest joke in his life.
Then with a look of disdain on his face, he stabbed Yang Ergou's chest with his finger and cursed loudly again, "It's too much to bully others? Do you people deserve it? You all don't even take a piss to look at yourselves, you look like beggars.
