Traveling through ancient times: starting with live streaming

Zhou Chang was dragged into the innermost room on the west side of the first floor.

As soon as I entered, I thought that there was only the chief shopkeeper inside, but I didn't expect that there were already four people sitting around an octagonal table.

Among the four people, there are two men and two women.

With his oily eyes, Zhou Chang could "recognize people by their chests" and immediately recognized the head and third managers of Yaoyuefang, as well as their lovers.

The third shopkeeper, Huang Zaisheng, who was in his early thirties, with a round face and broad eyebrows, greeted first: "Hey, Brother You, my second shopkeeper, you are finally here, but it must be difficult for us to find Tao Niang. Haha, I will punish myself by drinking three cups of wine later, haha."

The short and fat man with a short beard who looked to be in his fifties, Qian Shiguang, the head shopkeeper of Yaoyuefang, also joked: "Yes, yes, three cups, three cups per person, you've made us wait so long."

Zhou Chang smiled but didn't dare to say much. He sat down below the Great Shopkeeper Qian and opposite the Third Shopkeeper Huang. He also forced his eyes to lower their gaze so as not to look at the "turbulent" parts of the other two women.

The shopkeeper Qian said to the three women in the room, "Everyone is here. Jinhua, go to the kitchen and ask them why they haven't served the dishes yet. Taoniang, why don't you take Ningcui to get two jars of good wine from Brother You? What are you waiting for?"

Zhou Chang knew that there were a lot of good wines and medicines in You Zhongyou's rooms, all of which were prepared for the daily preparation of various medicinal wines and oils.

But since the shopkeeper Qian had spoken, she couldn't be stingy: "The shopkeeper is right, it was my fault for being careless. Tao Niang, go pick two good ones. You know where they are."

So the three women agreed and turned around to go out.

"Alas..." As soon as the three women left, Manager Qian and Manager Huang sighed in unison before they said anything.

Zhou Chang felt relieved and asked, "What's wrong?"

Manager Qian shook his head and changed the subject to ask Zhou Chang, "Have you prepared the goods that Liu's residence outside the palace requested at the beginning of the month?"

Zhou Chang realized what was being asked after a moment's reaction. He leaned over and lowered his voice to reply, "It was prepared the other day. Don't worry, Master Shopkeeper."

Manager Qian didn't seem to be worried and nodded: "That's good, I'll arrange for someone to deliver it to Liu's house tomorrow."

Shopkeeper Huang San followed suit and said dejectedly: "Alas, now that Yaoyuefang has closed down, only Brother You can still support it for a while."

Manager Qian said, "The goods in Liu's house cannot be short of goods. As for the others... now is a time of trouble, so let's all stop for a while."

"Yes." Zhou Chang bent his slender waist and nodded in agreement.

"Alas," Shopkeeper Huang San sighed and started a conversation, "You two brothers should have known what had happened just now. Handan is our top performer in Yaoyuefang. She has never been easily invited. Now she is being treated so coldly by those who are used to flattering the powerful and trampling on the weak. The boss is sad, and I guess we will have a hard time for a long time."

When Zhou Chang mentioned the "boss", he thought of Miss Yuan and couldn't help asking, "What's going on with the boss?"

"Alas," sighs must be contagious, Manager Qian shook his head, "Not good, really not good. I heard that since the capture of the Minister of Revenue, Lord Min, His Majesty has ordered the three courts to hold a joint trial."

Huang San, the shopkeeper, frowned and said, "It's not good indeed. This big fish is the Minister of Finance. Our boss is just a bonus at best. But when the city gate catches fire, the fish in the pond are affected. Now our boss and our Yaoyuefang are both fish in the pond. It's hard to say."

"But our Yaoyuefang was not closed down, it was just temporarily closed down. It seems that the court has no intention of implicating us." Zhou Chang could not find much useful information in You Zhongyou's memory.

Manager Qian pulled his short beard and thought for a moment: "Yaoyuefang has not been closed down. It is probably because of the relationship with the person above."

"Can't we ask 'that person' for help?" Shopkeeper Huang San asked in a low voice.

Manager Qian shook his head: "No one can say anything at this time. Originally, the Minister of Revenue, Lord Min, was responsible for this matter, but now Lord Min is in trouble. Didn't he look for it? Is it our boss' turn?"

"That's right," Shopkeeper Huang San nodded, "I heard that this case has been reported to the highest authorities. If that's the case, I'm afraid even 'that person' can't handle it."

"Alas, who said it wasn't true?" Manager Qian sighed after every sentence.

Zhou Chang listened quietly beside her. In her memory, she also knew who "the one above" was.

That was a "protective umbrella" that was bigger than that of the Minister of Revenue, and everyone knew it, but everyone tried to avoid mentioning it openly, so she could only sigh along with him.

The three of them lamented for a while, and their mood gradually became pessimistic.

"Brothers, tell me, if something happens to the boss, what should we do?" Shopkeeper Huang San was even more worried about his own future.

"That's impossible? Clearly, the incident on the boat was..." Zhou Chang was about to say that the incident on the boat was more like a frame-up, and quickly changed his words, "The boss can't be related to the 'Mirage Country spy'. There must be something wrong here."

"There's nothing we can do about it." Manager Qian was also a little discouraged. "Brother You has his own skills, so there's nothing to worry about. Brother Huang is young and smart, so there's no need to worry about them."

Zhou Chang didn't see any "skills" in You Zhongyou, and was really humble: "I don't have any skills, I just rely on the big tree of my boss and Yaoyuefang."

Shopkeeper Huang San's eyes rolled around, and he was probably already looking for a way out.

Manager Qian stared at the eight-immortal table in front of him for a long while before saying, "I, Qian Shiguang, have been in the Yuan family all my life and have been deeply nurtured by the master. Even if that day really comes, I will never leave the Yuan family. The worst that can happen is that I will follow the master back to Danlu."

After a while, Jinhua brought two waiters and served the hot dishes to the table.

Tao Niang and Ning Cui also brought back some wine.

When the food and wine were served, Jinhua sat with the shopkeeper Qian, Ningcui sat with the shopkeeper Huang, and Taoniang sat with Zhou Chang.

The three men stopped talking about what they had just said and let the three women start talking, laughing and drinking.

It didn't take long before Jinhua and the shopkeeper Qian, as well as Ningcui and the shopkeeper Huang, were sitting together, acting as if no one was around, and were flirting with each other.

As for Tao Niang, she was You Zhong's regular lover in Yaoyuefang, so naturally she wanted to stick around Zhou Chang, urging him to drink and nurturing him.

As a woman, Zhou Chang really couldn't enjoy this kind of "romantic affair", but she couldn't control You Zhongyou's eyes, which made her spend twice as much energy.

While secretly pouring out the wine, he poured Tao Niang's wine down his throat, and closed his eyes from time to time to quiet down.

Since they are all women, she is not afraid of seeing something she shouldn't see, but she can't help but feel sick of seeing too much meat.

It didn't take long before all six of them were drunk and confused.

However, five of them were really drunk, and only Zhou Chang was pretending to be drunk. She hardly drank a drop of alcohol.

"The first and third shopkeepers are drunk, let's go too." Zhou Chang saw that the first shopkeeper Qian and the third shopkeeper Huang were both drunk, and his patience had reached its limit.

"Yes, yes, yes, we won't keep the chief shopkeeper here." Shopkeeper Huang San stood up staggeringly.

Tao Niang almost leaned on Zhou Chang, clinging to her shoulders: "Okay, You Lang, let's go to your place and continue drinking."

"My place is not a good choice, why don't we go to your place?" Zhou Chang's mind was very clear and he had not forgotten the order from the client.

"What's going on? Is there some little vixen hiding in your little yard?" Even though Tao Niang was drunk, she did not forget to keep an eye on her "one acre and three mu of land".

"No way, have you ever seen me go out since Yaoyuefang closed?" Zhou Chang had to use both of his hands to push away Tao Niang's hands that were wrapped around her neck, pretending to be gentle, "Wouldn't it be better if I went to your place tonight, huh?"

Tao Niang opened her drunken eyes, her pupils were out of focus, but she nodded and climbed up like a snake: "How could it be, You Lang, let's go."

Zhou Chang endured Tao Niang's drunken breath, said hello to the four people left in the room, and half hugged Tao Niang out of the first floor wing room and ran to the second floor. "Don't panic when your life is not going well,

Look at your wallet and savings and just cry.

Don't forget to go to bed early, you can have anything in your dreams."
