Tongzhuang

When I got up in the morning, I went to set up the tables and chairs as usual, and Ah Fu also came to help. The shopkeeper took a sip of tea, and suddenly said beside him: "Han Chun, go and get more tables and chairs, add four or five sets; Ah Fu, I will set the price later." Change it, each dish will increase by a penny."

I was surprised: "Shopkeeper, are you crazy? Add four or five tables, and the customers will have nowhere to walk!"

Ah Fu was also surprised: "Shopkeeper, the price has been raised twice this month, and it would be too..."

"You know what!" the shopkeeper was displeased, "The dishes in our Zhongyi Building are worth this price! Just because there are heroes and beauties in our building, it must be at least three times higher! I still regret it when I think about it. The price a few days ago , I'm bleeding..." His heart ached so much that he almost beat his chest and stamped his feet.

Ah Fu hissed, "Shopkeeper, you mean Han Chun and Miss Ruige? Han Chun...is considered a hero, but Miss Ruige..."

"Isn't she a beauty?"

"Of course she is a beauty! But you old man, don't get me wrong, she belongs to Zhanchunlou, not ours, so she raises the price... this..."

"So, Han Chun!" The shopkeeper turned to me, "I leave this matter to you! No matter what method you use, you must let Miss Ruige come here often, preferably every day, remember!"

I was stunned, and before returning to my senses, the shopkeeper said again: "Remember to add more tables, the big deal is to squeeze, how many more seats are there!" After speaking, he flicked his long sleeves, holding his small teapot and went to the table. go downstairs.

He had just stepped down the first level, when he suddenly missed the ground, the teapot dropped from his hand, and he slammed into the railing... "Wow!"

Ah Fu and I were shocked, and rushed up at the same time, "It's the shopkeeper!"

After finally stabilizing his short and fat body, he slowly helped him up, "Boss, are you alright?"

"Hey," Ah Fu stretched out his hand and shook the crooked railing, exclaiming, "Shopkeeper, look, it's loose like this. Fortunately, we are here. If you wait a little longer, you will crush me to pieces." , If you don't die, you will be seriously injured!"

"My waist..." the shopkeeper hummed weakly. "Why are you still standing there... Help me quickly... Ouch! Take it easy!"

"I got it, I got it, take it easy." Ah Fu quietly made a mouth shape, and I saw it: Present World News.

I suppressed my laugh and said, "Ah Fu, help the shopkeeper to rest, I will clean this place."

After they went down, I also shook the railing, God, it was loose enough, the nails must have fallen apart, and it needs to be fixed.I straightened the handrail, got a broom first, and cleaned the teapot fragments and tea leaves on the stairs.

I was about to find tools to repair the railing when I heard someone coming this way.

Looking up, Qi Feng in red clothes!

I may not be really afraid of him, but when I see him, I can't help but feel apprehensive, knowing that there will be no good fruit to eat.

"...Master Qi, it's too early, there's no food in the building—"

"I'm not here for dinner." He looked at me with usual impatience.Probably because he doesn't like to look up at others, he said as he walked upstairs.

Passing the place where the shopkeeper fell, he looked at the water stains on the ground, frowned in distaste for dirt, twisted his body and wanted to step over, and subconsciously stretched his hand towards the side railing.

"Don't touch!" I hurriedly stopped loudly.

He stopped, his eyes suspicious.

"It's loose, and it will fall if you touch it." After I finished speaking, I suddenly regretted it.Why should I remind him?He is a villain, maybe letting him fall is the will of heaven... I don't remind him that he is killing harm for the people...

Qi Feng stretched out his hand and shook the railing, and said in distaste, "You guys are so poor here, why are you still opening a store?" He simply jumped up in two steps and stood in front of me.

I was still disturbed by the thought just now, Qi Feng said: "Why are you in a daze?"

"Oh, what orders does Zhuang Zhuang have?" I hurriedly let go of my thoughts and dealt with the difficult character in front of me first.

"Leave a few tables for me tonight, please be quiet."

"Oh, good..." This is not difficult.Although the guests were crowded, given Qi Feng's notoriety in Yingzhou City, no one would rob him.

"Did Rui Ge come here yesterday?" Just when I thought he could be satisfied, he asked coldly.

He didn't wait for my answer, and then asked, "What did she say?"

Hearing his cold voice, I was startled secretly, and immediately became nervous, worried about Miss Ruige. "I didn't say anything, she just chatted with me casually..."

He stared at me and said for a while, "You don't have to hide it for her."

He continued: "Keeping your mouth shut is a prior agreement. If she dares to break the contract without authorization, don't blame me for turning against her!"

For a split second, I wished I could slap myself, why did I remind him of all the troubles just now!

"Miss Ruige really didn't say anything!" I was anxious and scared, and shouted at his back as he turned and went downstairs.

Qi Feng stopped to look at me, sneered slightly, turned her head and walked straight away.

--------------------------------

I was restless throughout the day, and I didn't even care to greet the shopkeeper's injury. What will Qi Feng, a scoundrel, do to Miss Ruige?Will Rigo be in danger?I was so worried that I reported the wrong name of the dish several times, and was lectured by Master Zheng who was in charge of the dish.

In the evening, Qi Feng brought people and entered the private room that had been arranged.This time he didn't specify that he wanted me to serve him, so I breathed a sigh of relief and entrusted this tricky job to Ah Fu, and I waited in the lobby by myself.

"Brother Han!" Amidst the commotion, a clear and pleasant voice came from the stairs.Rigo!

Seeing me looking over, she smiled at me and walked over briskly. "Brother Han!"

She was so radiant that the entire lobby was brightened up.Many diners were immediately taken away.

"Miss Rigo..."

"It's all about not being a girl! This is a gift from the old lady when I went to perform at Master Sima's house today!" She handed me two packets of exquisitely packaged snacks, "Brother Han, try it too!"

"Okay..." Ruige is straightforward, I don't want to be polite in front of her at all, and I can't be polite, "Ha, I'm lucky!"

"If you think it's delicious, I'll give you a few more packs. There are plenty of these snacks in our building!"

Snacks are not a big deal, I was only thinking about Qi Feng drinking in there, so I have to let Ruige leave quietly as soon as possible. "It's too late, go back quickly, you girl can't go out alone, it's dangerous."

"Don't worry!" Ruige smiled, "My sedan chair is downstairs, I won't go out alone. I just stopped by to see you, this place is only a few steps away from our Zhanchun Building, so there is no danger."

"Let's go back early..." I couldn't tell the reason, so I could only urge.

"What's the matter? What's the matter?" She didn't expect Rui Ge to be an inquisitive person, so she frowned and asked in puzzlement.

"No... there are... a lot of customers today, I'm afraid, I'm afraid the shopkeeper will scold me..."

"Oh... I see, Brother Han, you should be busy!" Rui Ge was very reasonable, and left immediately.

I glanced at Qi Feng's private room, there was no movement, and secretly told me, "Be careful on the road!"

She smiled sweetly, probably laughing at me for worrying.

Rui Ge was about to leave, and the people in the seats couldn't sit still.One stood up and stopped in front of her, "Ms. Ruige, I have admired her name for a long time. Today, I am destined to invite you to have a glass of wine. The girl will not refuse, right?" He is burly and frivolous. His name is Fang Dongshan, alias "Bloodletting", he is a well-known gangster in Yingzhou City, he heard that he and the county magistrate's young master are drinking and meat friends, and the dozen or so brothers under him are vicious, and they will fight if they disagree with each other, and no one dares to provoke them.On the first day I arrived at Piaoxiang Tower, the shopkeeper specifically told me not to provoke him.

Rui Ge turned a deaf ear to him and walked past him without slowing down.

I heard from the shopkeeper that Ruige is arrogant, but I still don't believe it, she is obviously friendly and has no airs.I have seen it tonight, when Rui Ge is proud, he is not inferior to Qi Feng at all!

Fang Dongshan's expression changed.Most of the guests eating in the building are locals from Yingzhou, that is to say, most of them apologized to him with a smile and respected him as "Fang Ye". He lost face in front of these people. He was furious and threw the wine glass in his hand, " ...Damn it! The little biao is shameless, and the master insists that you drink this glass of wine...Brothers, give it to me!"

Hula stood up a few strong men and went to Larige.

The group of them is a tyrant in Yingzhou, no one dares to provoke them; there are some foreign guests in the building, and they are unwilling to offend the local snake for a brothel girl.Rui Ge took a step back and shouted: "Go away!"

"Yo, you have such a hot temper," a strong man smiled maliciously, "Miss Ruige, it's a good intention for the boss to invite you to drink, so you just go with it... Maybe I will have to call you sister-in-law tomorrow... "He reached out and grabbed her arm.

"open!"

"Get your dirty hands off!" Seeing these bastards bullying Rui Ge, I became furious, threw down the rag in my hand and rushed up, pushing vigorously!

He was pushed away a few steps, turned his eyes to see me, and stretched the flesh on his face. "You brat is looking for death!" He punched him.

I don't know martial arts, but luckily I am quite agile, so I turned my head to avoid it, picked up a soup bowl on the table next to him, and threw it at him.

His face was drenched by the hot soup, and he screamed. I took the opportunity to lift a stool, but another big man hit me on the shoulder with a wooden stick. I let go and the stool fell.

"Han Chun!" Ah Fu shouted over there.

I was kicked in the back again, reluctantly urging Rui Ge: "Go!" There were so many of them, it would be too late if they didn't leave.

Another kick hit my head, I rolled over, and that kick brushed my face. "Stop! Come on!" Rui Ge hurried to help me.

"Mother is tired of work... teach him a lesson!" I heard Fang Dongshan speak.

I got up from the ground, and four or five strong men surrounded us. I clenched my fists secretly, and I might be beaten to death by them today.Heh, I, Han Chun, have no parents and no children, so why am I afraid of being alone?Fight.I moved a little bit to block Rigo.

No matter what, I can't let these bastards bully Rui Ge!

"I'll drink with you, you can drink as much as you want!" Rui Ge suddenly said loudly.

The fists from the thugs stopped, and they looked at their boss.

Fang Dongshan chuckled, salivating and said: "What is drinking? Beauty, if you agree to marry me..."

I picked up the wooden stool on the ground and smashed it at the nearest big man.I will die with you today!

"Ah—" he howled, clutching his forehead, his hands were covered with blood.

The rest of the people rushed towards me immediately and drew out their short knives one after another.

Suddenly a shadow came down with the sound of the wind, my eyes blurred, I only heard the sound of kicking and a few "ouches", and saw the big men around me covering their faces and backing away again and again.

Then the wooden bench spun out of nowhere and flew up, beating them all over again.I looked down: Hey, why is the stool in my hand gone?

When the shadow landed steadily, I was about to call him a righteous man, when I suddenly found out that it was Tongzhuang's bearded man!

I subconsciously looked at Qi Feng's private room. I don't know when the door of the private room opened. Qi Feng stood in front of the door, watching the fighting scene coldly, with a usual impatient expression.

Fang Dongshan was startled and angry, and shouted at his subordinates: "Go! Give it to me! I don't believe it, how capable he is alone..."

Before the words fell, several people fell down again, punching and kicking several injured big men until they couldn't get up.I recognized that those were all from Tongzhuang.At the same time, the fight alarmed the bearers waiting downstairs, they all rushed upstairs fearing something would happen to Ruige. "Girl, are you okay?" They gathered around us.

The bearded man slapped Fang Dongshan twice, "Bastard! Why are you arguing? You messed up our owner's birthday!"

So today is Qi Feng's birthday?No wonder he looked so unkind.

I'm glad that although I haven't met anyone who really fights against injustice, I'm finally lucky.

Now that the fight is over, Qi Feng slowly walks over.

"Oh, Zhuangzhu Qi! My brother is confused, I really don't know that today is the Qianqiu of the Zhuangzhu, please bear with me, don't be as knowledgeable as me..." Fang Dongshan apologized with a swollen face, saw Qi Feng was indifferent, and raised his hand again. He lightly slapped himself on the face twice, "I'm confused! I should beat... a bunch of trash, and I haven't apologized to the owner of Qi Zhuang!" while scolding the subordinates who were paralyzed on the ground.

Qi Feng didn't even look at him, and came to stand in front of us.

"I have something to say to you, come with me." He didn't look at me, he looked at Rui Ge.

I raised my heart that had just been let go, and turned to look at Rui Ge.

Rui Ge looked back at me with concern, and walked out from behind me.

Both of them went downstairs.The bearer wanted to follow, but Ruige stopped him.

The guests at the table whispered: "Master Qi has taken a fancy to Miss Ruige."

"Actually, let me tell you, it's not bad to marry in Tongzhuang, and you will have nothing to worry about for the rest of your life. It's just the reputation..."

"Yes, if you do many unrighteous acts, you will kill yourself. Miss Ruige must be good, and she should choose a better family..."

Qi Feng's words in the morning kept echoing in my mind, and I felt even more uneasy.But... If he liked Rui Ge, he wouldn't have murdered her, would he?Qi Feng acts insidiously, I can only hope that he likes Rui Ge in his heart.

After a while, Qi Feng came up, his expression was still not good, and I felt a sudden shock in my heart.

He came up to pay the bill.yes!Even relying on the money for his own birthday banquet is too unreasonable.Not only did he settle the bill happily, but he also gave a lot of extra rewards, but these were all paid by Fang Dongshan and his gang.

I was worried about Ruige, so I went downstairs to look for her with the four bearers.

Under the moonlight, Ruige stood in front of the gate, and the night wind gently blew her black hair.

"Rige!"

"Brother Han," she turned her head and asked with concern, "how is your injury?"

"Scratch the skin, it's all right!" I don't take that little matter to heart, what I'm most worried about is that Qi Feng will trouble her, "What did Qi Feng tell you just now?" I asked nervously.

"He said, please let me go to Tongzhuang to help him again."

"Help him?...Is that kind of thing?" Beauty trick?Partnership deception?

"Yes!" Ruige nodded, "But...Brother Han, you told me that it's not good to do such a thing, so I didn't agree."

I was relieved for a while, Ruige is such a good girl!However, thinking of Qi Feng's warning, I still can't rest assured, "Did he tell you anything else?"

"No." Rui Ge looked at me suspiciously.

"That's... that's good." I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Han, it was me who almost killed you today... You must see a doctor when you go back! I'll send someone to bring medicine tomorrow..."

My heart warmed up.After my mother passed away, few people cared about me so much. From now on, I must treat Rui Ge as my dearest person, and never let others bully her no matter what!I urged her to get on the sedan chair, and repeatedly told her, "Be careful when you go out in the future, and you must never be alone..." Even the bearer laughed at the level of verbosity.

Seeing the sedan chair safely go to the Zhanchun Building diagonally across the street, I gradually felt at ease.
