Xue Poye finally settled Mrs. Wang and her children in the "Dongfeng Pavilion".
Dongfeng Pavilion is the largest and most luxurious inn in Hangzhou. It is divided into halls and courtyards. Different from ordinary single rooms in inns, Dongfeng Pavilion has independent rooms and small courtyards. There are also red flowers and green willows planted in the courtyard.
A good inn is naturally not cheap, only one or two silver a day.
Xue Poye first made a reservation for ten days and sent Mrs. Wang and her children to stay here first.
Mrs. Wang was naturally extremely grateful, but she was extremely well-educated, so of course she would not kneel down to thank her, she would just smile and nod.
Xue Poye knew that Mrs. Wang didn't have much money on her, and could even be said to be penniless. He only said: "Madam, I will stay here for a few days, and then I will go out and look for a house. If I find a suitable place, I will move there."
That's it." He immediately put all the remaining twenty taels of silver into Mrs. Wang's hands, and then left easily.
Mrs. Wang's eyes were red and she could not express her gratitude.
Riding a golden lion, Xue Poye received the admiring glances of passers-by along the way. Everyone knew that the hero who helped Mrs. Wang was riding a golden-haired horse, and was handsome and graceful.
When I returned to Lan Yuexuan, I was really surprised. The small Lan Yuexuan was already full, and the room was obviously full of people. There were many people sitting on the floor outside, drinking on the spot, and many people were reciting lyrics and composing poems.
Waiting for a seat.
Seeing Xue Poye coming back, everyone saluted one after another with admiring smiles on their faces. Xue Poye knew in his heart that these people had come to Lan Yuexuan to support him obviously because of Mrs. Wang's affairs, and he felt quite emotional.
It's really worthwhile to do good deeds sometimes. Not only do you gain fame, but there are also huge benefits waiting for you, even though your original intention is not to seek fame and fortune.
He took the horse to the stable. It was still early in the night, so he had to tidy up. After all, there were many people at this banquet. It was not like Xiao Moting's small gathering with only a few scholars, big and small officials, literary giants and scholars.
The farewell party should not be too cheap. Your handsome appearance and temperament are enough, but your outer clothes should be tidied up to be worthy of your face.
The kitchen was naturally very busy. Yue Zhu, Lao Song's wife, Luo Dachun and all the chefs were sweating profusely. The waiters headed by Xiao Pinshi and Hu San were also shouting and making a lively scene.
Old Song was also walking back and forth, smiling brightly. When he saw Xue Poye, he immediately shouted: "Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, you have a great reputation. Everyone is praising you for your heroism and loyalty!"
Xue Poye smiled faintly and said leisurely: "Business seems to be really good today."
Lao Song couldn't hide the smile on his face, raised his thumb, and sighed: "Shopkeeper, I'm convinced. I'm really convinced."
Xue Poye felt quite proud in his heart and touched his nose pretentiously.
"But..." Lao Song showed a bit of worry: "Shopkeeper, our shop is still small. It is full of customers every day these days, and many customers have to wait. A few days will be fine, but if it takes a long time,
I'm afraid some guests will be angry and stop coming."
Xue Poye frowned. He had just seen this situation with his own eyes. It was indeed the case. Many guests were sitting on the floor outside, and there were still people waiting. Although there were many guests, there was no room for them.
***, what a happy trouble!
"Hmm...!"
Lao Tan wants to get along well with He Ruhui. Even if he wants to show his sincerity, He Ruhui will always show his closeness. When he becomes the prefect of Hangzhou, the whole of Hangzhou will be at his feet.
It shouldn't be too much to ask for help in opening two restaurants in good locations.
Old Song touched his head and asked curiously: "What's so fast?"
Xue Poye smiled and said: "Old Song, this matter is almost settled. I, the shopkeeper, am looking for a restaurant in a good location."
Although Lao Song was happy, he was not surprised. The young shopkeeper had already given him too many surprises. He was already convinced of Xue Poye's ability. He even said that Xue Poye would bring the queen to sleep with him tonight.
Old Song also...well, probably wouldn't believe it, but he unconditionally believed that Xue Poye could get several restaurants in excellent locations.
Xue Poye also asked Lao Song to find a relatively elegant courtyard and rent it on a long-term basis so that Mrs. Wang and her children could live there. Lao Song naturally agreed repeatedly.
Yue Zhu kept looking at Xue Poye with a smile, her eyes were as gentle as water. It was no wonder for her. Xue Poye's reputation as a hero had spread. Now that she knew about it, she was naturally very happy.
Xue Poye immediately fetched water and went to the room to wash it and comb the length carefully. He felt a little depressed. Modern shorts are so neat and energetic. In this era, long lengths are fluttery. Although they are somewhat elegant and free, they are extremely difficult to take care of. Hearing
Yuezhu said softly: "Brother Poye, let me comb your hair."
The voice was like water, and Xue Poyeben's still a little anxious mood immediately calmed down. Yuezhu, like a lily in the wind, came over slowly, picked up the wooden comb, and said softly: "Sit tight!"
Xue Poye sat upright obediently, letting Yue Zhu gently comb behind him. The daughter's fragrance faintly filled the air and penetrated into his nose. Xue Poye felt indescribable tranquility and closed his eyes.
, enjoying this wonderful moment.
"Brother Poye, you are evil!" Yuezhu said softly, his voice full of love and pity.
Xue Poye still closed his eyes and said with a smile: "Silly girl, the darker your skin, the healthier you will be and you won't get sick."
Yuezhu didn't say anything, he just combed it gently, very gently, as if he was afraid that Xue Poye would be hurt if he used too much force.
Xue Poye felt peaceful in his heart. He only felt that when Yue Zhu was together, he felt particularly relaxed and happy. Whenever he saw Yue Zhu's smile blooming like spring, Xue Poye felt that his whole body was full of energy.
The strength, the indescribable self-confidence, is this girl, who has taken good care of herself since she time traveled, is gentle and virtuous, Xiaojiabiyu.
In a soft atmosphere, Yuezhu helped Xue Poye comb his hair before going out. Xue Poye changed his clothes. He had a fit figure and his clothes were well-fitting, making him instantly chic and suave.
After packing everything up, we returned to the office on the third floor. There was a lot of people singing praises in the middle.
It was still early, and there was still some time before the night banquet at the Lu Mansion. Xue Poye took out the manuscript of "Jin Ping Mei" and laid it flat on the table.
I haven't had time to spare for a while, so I immediately started writing the first two thousand words. As a writer who has a deep understanding of art, Xue Poye naturally knows how to write this classic book. Although the entire book is
I don’t remember the words and sentences clearly, but the general outline and the important ones: “The woman with the moon on her pillow is better than the prostitute, flattering her in every possible way”, “Stealing the fragrance of pink butterflies to wet the stamens, playing with water, dragonflies spinning up and down. The joy is endless and the love is endless”
Interesting, the spirit turtle spits out clear springs from its mouth," "Dada loves your white ass," but the essence of the words is engraved in his heart. These are the efforts of his predecessors, and Xue Poye definitely dare not forget them.
I started writing like a spirit, swishing away, until my arms were sore, I stopped writing. I wrote thousands of words eloquently, and the content was rich. I looked back out the window, and it was quite dark. I knew it was getting late.
When it was time to leave, I put the manuscript on the table.
?????????????????????
When Xue Poye arrived at the Lu Mansion riding a golden lion, the sky had not completely darkened, but the outline of the moon was faintly floating on the eastern sky. There is no doubt that tonight is a wonderful night for everyone attending the banquet.
A good opportunity to sing against the moon.
In front of the Lu Mansion, there was an endless stream of people coming and going, and there were several people waiting attentively in front of the Lu Mansion.
Xue Poye could see clearly that among the people waiting for him, there was actually the second young master whom he had extorted four hundred taels of silver from. At this time, he was dressed in brocade clothes and had quite a temperament. He greeted the guests with fists clasped and a smile on his face.
Officials of all sizes in various official uniforms, as well as Confucian sects with blue robes and long beards, were streaming into the house. Horses and sedans were also led by people to take care of them.
Hello, young master!"
The second young master turned around and was shocked: "Is it... is it you?"
Xue Poye laughed and said, "It's me!"
"You...why are you here?" The second young master was so surprised that his face turned a little pale.
Xue Poye touched his nose and smiled: "I'm here for the banquet."
The second young master did not show anger on his face, but was a little panicked. He whispered: "You are also coming to the banquet? How about your surname?"
"Xue Poye!"
The second young master hurriedly took the roster from the servant next to him and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, he saw Xue Poye's name suddenly listed. He was really surprised. He looked at Xue Poye and saw that he was not an official or a scholar.
It is really thought-provoking that a great scholar is included in this list.
The second young master threw the roster into the hands of the servant, took Xue Poye aside, and then said with a bitter face: "Xue...Brother Xue, I want to ask you something, and you must agree to it."
Xue Poye asked curiously: "What's the matter?" He immediately smiled and said: "Second Young Master, I really didn't know that you were the Second Young Master that night. It was a misunderstanding. I was just afraid that someone would impersonate you and ruin your reputation. Don't take it seriously.
.”
The second young master said with a bitter face: "That's it, you must never let it slip to me. God knows this and you know it and I know it. Don't let three people know about it. It's important!"
Xue Poye was stunned. He thought that the second young master would be so angry today and cause trouble for him, but he didn't expect to be so mean and begging him not to tell anyone about Na Ye's embarrassing story. It seems that the second young master is really a man who wants to save face, which is interesting.
interesting!
"Second Young Master, you know this and I know it. I will never let anyone else know it. Don't worry." Xue Poye slapped his chest loudly.
"Don't call me Second Young Master, just call me Coward." The Second Young Master breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, patted Xue Poye on the shoulder, raised his thumb and said, "You are very capable, I will keep you and me closer in the future.
"
Xue Poye was stunned. He didn't expect that the second young master could be so generous. He had really underestimated him.
The second young master came closer again and asked in a low voice: "Are you the hero in the legend in the streets? The one who helped Mrs. Wang?"
Xue Poye said modestly: "I'm ashamed, I don't dare to take it. Second... I'm as cowardly as a brother who laughs at me."
The second young master chuckled, lowered his voice and continued to ask: "Did you also beat that bastard Lu Fu?"
Xue Poye was stunned and thought to himself: "Damn, is this kid going to accuse me on behalf of Lu Fu?" Seeing the smile on the second young master's face, he looked like he was gloating about his misfortune, so he sighed: "Brother, you are so cowardly.
The butler is very domineering, I am just here to discipline you."
The second young master gave a thumbs up and praised: "Well done, I just want to beat that bastard. Grandma, relying on that... Hehe, relying on the second grandma's favor, even I don't take it seriously on weekdays, so I should beat him."
, next time we meet, Xue...Brother Poye will take care of it for me!"
Xue Poye felt ashamed for a while. He didn't expect that the second young master was so cute, but he was too harsh that night.
The second young master directly called Mrs. Fang "second grandma", obviously out of fear. The relationship between the couple was naturally extremely unharmonious. Xue Poye was a little surprised: "Damn it, if this kid knew that his wife took off her clothes to seduce me,
