A dream ends life

Su Ci has checked the auction house's account books these days.

It turned out that her original intention of opening this auction house was to help Hongling, who was the original owner of the auction house. However, her family encountered great changes, forcing her, a young woman, to set up her own business.

At that time, she was having a hard time and the auction house's business was on the verge of collapse. That's when she met Su Ci.

Su Ci gave her money to run her business, and also helped her to re-plan the environment and layout of the auction house, as well as some of the auction techniques.

Since then, the auction house has started to improve. Hongling is a grateful person, and from then on she recognized Su Ci as her master, although this master did not care much about her.

Putting down the last account book, Su Ci rubbed his eyebrows.

He also asked about Dongliu's situation in the mountains.

Chunshui responded one by one.

"Master, are we really going back to Beijing?" Chunshui was a little nervous.

After they left there, she didn't want to go back from the bottom of her heart. Her master suffered a disaster every three or five days there, and she didn't like that place.

Su Ci knew what she was thinking, "You don't want to go back?"

Chun Shui nodded: "No, never!"

"Okay, then I won't go back!"

Chunshui was a little surprised, "Will it delay your business?"

The master must have her reasons for going back. She felt a little uneasy if she didn't go back just because of her words.

Su Ci smiled: "No! I like it there, if I don't want to go back, then I won't go back. No one can force us."

Chunshui nodded repeatedly. What was so good about going to the capital? It was better for them to live like real people now.

"Chun Shui, let's go out for a walk today. I want to eat some fried food from Lao Zhou's restaurant."

Chunshui's eyes lit up. Actually, she also wanted to eat, but her master had not been out for the past few days. How could she have the nerve to ask for it?

"Master, let's go now!" Chunshui was a little impatient.

Lao Zhou’s fried food is delicious. Every time they come to Dingzhou, they go there to satisfy their cravings.

"Where are you going?" Hongling pushed the door open.

Chunshui cleaned the table with a smile, saying, "Lao Zhou's fried food shop, just thinking about it makes me drool."

Hong Ling smiled and said, "Well, now that you mention it, I'm drooling. I haven't eaten for a long time."

Chunshui said, "Then let's go together! It's my treat!"

Hong Ling said jokingly, "Oh, oh, oh! Look at how arrogant our Chunshui is. I won't come back until I make you cry today."

Chunshui was very proud. Although she was Su Ci's maid, Su Ci had never given her a bond and never treated her as a servant.

The money she has is enough to ensure she has no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life, even if she doesn't live a life of wealth and glory.

Su Ci clapped his hands and said, "Yes, today we will eat Chunshui's big family. Don't cry because you feel bad."

Chunshui waved his hand and said, "That won't happen. Whoever cries is a puppy!"

How much can the three of them eat? Even if they order the most expensive dish, two taels of silver will be enough.

Lao Zhou's fried food shop is just a snack, not a big restaurant. You can eat as much as you want, and there won't be much left, Chunshui thought confidently.

Hong Ling also became interested: "I'll go change my clothes now, Sister Chunshui, wait for me."

Not only Hongling, Su Ci and Chunshui also changed their clothes, traveling light and for comfort.

The three of them walked out of the auction house chatting and laughing. They did not take a carriage, but walked on the street. When they saw interesting things on the roadside stalls, they stopped to look at them for a long time.

The three girls were holding candy figures in their hands, eating candied fruits in their mouths, looking at the beautiful head ornaments, and gesturing at each other's heads.

Hongling's enthusiasm, Chunshui's charm and Suci's indifference are obviously three completely different girls, but when they get together they are extremely harmonious and pleasing to the eye.

A scholar in a long gown who was walking hurriedly with a book in his arms took a casual glance and I couldn't take my eyes off him.

With a thud, he accidentally stepped on a young man in brocade clothes who was walking his bird next to him. The birdcage in his hand slipped and he fell flat on his face.

The people around him burst into laughter. The scholar came to his senses and blushed.

The young master in brocade clothes came back to his senses and looked at him with disdain: "Confucius said, do not look at anything that is not proper. You are such a fool that you have read so much that you are rude. Too rude."

The young man in brocade clothes stood with his hands behind his back, looking extremely distressed, but his eyes never left the three people. He was right in carrying it behind his back.

Fortunately, his father always used these words to show his love for him, and he remembered them well. He was secretly proud of himself, thinking, he could even teach a scholar a lesson, and he was very proud of himself in front of a beautiful girl.

He racked his brains to think about the words his father said to him, and finally gave up.

The rest is indescribable, with shit and feces, too vulgar, so I won't say it.

When the two men came to their senses, the three girls were nowhere to be seen.

Lao Zhou's fried goods shop was two streets away from the auction house, and the three of them arrived there in a short while after walking around.

It was the size of two rooms, and the outside of the door was kept clean.

When I walked into the store, I saw a fat lady standing in front of the oil wok, stirring the wok with a colander in one hand and long chopsticks in the other.

When he saw Su Ci and the other two, he couldn't help but open his eyes wide.

"Oh my god, oh my god! This isn't, this isn't... Lao Zhou, Lao Zhou, look who's here."

The fat aunt stopped working, put down what she was holding, wiped her hands and came to the three people.

A customer who was eating fried food in the seat inside joked, "Auntie Fatty, who is this person from your family? Look how happy you are."

"I guess they are relatives, otherwise Aunt Fatty wouldn't even be doing business anymore."

"I don't think so. How could Aunt Fatty have such a good-looking relative?"

Auntie Fat glared at them and said, "Even eating can't stop you from talking. Why can't my family have such good-looking relatives? Who are you looking down on? If you keep talking, I'll tear your mouths apart."

At this time, a man in his forties wearing an apron walked out.

"Old lady, who's here? Look how excited you are... My mother!"

Old Zhou slapped his thigh and swore excitedly.

Auntie Fat shook her head, her eyes narrowed into slits as she smiled: "It's not your mother, look again!"

Old Zhou's face turned dark, and the fat aunt was also glared at.

"Mr. Su, you're back. That's good. That's great." Old Zhou was a little confused about what he meant.

Auntie Pang pushed Old Zhou aside and said, "It's a rare occasion for Mr. Su and Shopkeeper Hongling to come here. Go and fry some good food. Fry more hairy tofu, crispy sausage, and mushrooms. Mr. Su and Shopkeeper Hongling both like to eat them. Oh, and Chunshui likes fried vegetable dumplings. You should fry more..."

Aunt Pang kept nagging and giving orders to Lao Zhou, but Lao Zhou didn't get impatient and just rolled up his sleeves and started working.

Aunt Pang pulled the three of them into the innermost room, where there were two tables, both of which were spotlessly clean.

After sitting down, Aunt Fat began to ask about the recent situation of Su Ci and the other two.

Chunshui strolled to the outer room to watch Lao Zhou frying something.

"Uncle Zhou, I want to eat fried chicken."

Lao Zhou said, "Hey! Hey! Uncle will fry it for you right away."

Chunshui pointed at the neatly arranged groceries, thinking about adding something else, when she heard someone calling her!
