The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 83

Early the next morning.

Laishun picked up Zhishunzhai's toothbrush and tooth powder, and was about to go to the east wing to scoop up water for washing when he heard someone call the door outside.

When I opened the courtyard door, I saw that it was indeed the staff of the East Hutong Restaurant.

Seeing him put a half-jin small wine jug with both hands, and at the same time said with a smile: "Come on Chief, this is the wine this morning."

Yin Laishun's current title is the chief shopkeeper, and outsiders often call him 'general manager' -- of course, if he and his father are present at the same time, they have to be downgraded to 'little general manager'.

"Excuse me for a run."

Laishun thanked him insincerely, and instructed Shuangquan to wait outside the door. He went back to the house and took out an empty wine jug, which he handed along with the broken silver.

"Yesterday's wine pot and wine money, if you have more money, you will be rewarded - Xu Shi [[-] o'clock in the evening] don't forget to send another pot, I haven't been drinking two pots of your home-brewed loose wine recently, and I can't even sleep. Steady."

"Thank you for coming to the general manager, thank you for coming to the general manager!"

Thanks a lot, and patted my chest to ensure that it would be delivered on time at night, so I went with the empty wine jug.

After he left, Laishun poured the newly delivered loose wine into a leather wine bag. There was a pot in it, and it added up to half a bag.

At this time, Laiwang also came out of the East Room with his toiletries, and when he saw that Lai Shun was pouring wine into his skin, he asked casually, "This is two coins a day, so I don't know if it can come in handy at a critical moment. "

"Didn't you say it?"

Laishun laughed and said, "I pinched that woman's weakness, how dare she not listen to me? Besides, our family isn't all pointing at her, it's just a record at most."

"But you don't say what the shortcomings are."

Laiwangchong rolled his eyes at his son, and he actually guessed something in his heart, but how could he, a father, take the initiative to find out about things like that?

Fortunately, I gave birth to a son. If it was a daughter, I am afraid that it will not be honoring the ancestors, but the family will be shamed.

The father and son squatted side by side outside the east wing to wash up. After a while, Mrs Xu also came out of the east wing and wiped his hands with his apron: "I steamed some egg custard, picked up the vegetables in the yard and made a chowder, yesterday. The rest of the chicken soup is overheated, so you can go on duty after you have eaten."

Having said that, since he went to the main room to change his clothes for going out, he went out of the courtyard in a hurry.

Laishun just finished washing his face, when he saw this, he hurriedly chased after him a few steps and shouted, "Mother, are you not eating today?"

"Today, I'm going to be on duty in Ermen Luding. I'm going to be late. I'm afraid those three aunts and six grandmothers will talk about it again - don't worry about me, I'll make up for it in the house."

"Then drink more water and don't get on fire again."

"I can save it."

After sending his mother away, Laishun went back to the east wing to have a full meal with his father, and then fed the leftovers to the dog next door, and then went out of the house with a wine bag.

At the west exit of Ningrong Street, Laiwang turned east.

Laishun continued to go north, entered Xingrong Lane under the West Corridor, and when he reached an alley entrance, he saw that there was no one left or right, and threw the wine bag inside.

There was a majestic man with a straw hat who was waiting in the alley. He caught the wine bag with one hand and threw it back empty.

Laishun didn't talk to him either, he took the empty wine bag and turned back to Xijiekou, heading east to the corner gate of Rongguo Mansion.

About a quarter of an hour later, Laishun's special carriage galloped away.

There are three new tire shops in the capital, one in the outer city and two in the inner city—the shop in the outer city is located near Dongbianmen; the one in the inner city is located in the East Fourth Archway, and the other is adjacent to the Shichahai Dragon King Temple.

The place to go today is the shop in Shichahai.

When passing by the yamen of Dali Temple, which is backed by Shichahai, I happened to encounter someone blocking the road in front of me, so I had to take a detour.

So when I arrived at the shop, the shopkeeper and the guys in the shop had been waiting for more than half an hour.

But none of them dared to express their dissatisfaction.

Lai Shun was greeted with slanted shoulders and flattering, like the stars holding the moon.

Before entering the door, Laishun deliberately stopped and looked up at the signboard covered with red silk. Since it was only concealed, it was not difficult to distinguish the gilded characters on it:
Tianxingjian.

This is the name of the store set by Jia Zheng himself. First, it takes the literal meaning of 'Xingjian';

but……

Just because he relied on his official position under the shadow of his ancestors, he was embarrassed to say 'Heaven Xingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement'.

Pressing the contempt of the double standard in his heart, Laishun stepped into the store.

Because of the hasty reconstruction, this tire shop is not much different from the usual place for selling goods.

The only difference is that Laishun specially ordered people to tout the many benefits of pneumatic tires in the form of comic strips on the south wall.

Yingyingchaochuo also linked Xia Taizu with the purchase of rubber tree species from thousands of miles away at great expense.

After all, Xia Taizu's far-sighted vision has been hotly debated in the streets and alleys recently.

uh~
Wouldn't it be in vain to be a fellow countryman if we didn't pay tribute to him?

But after saying that, he walked into the store and saw two people standing up in the 'reception area'.

One of them is He San.

This is not surprising, because he refused to follow the south to Guangdong and Guangxi, he has been in a state of despair for a long time since his godfather Zhou Rui left.

But the other person present was not Xue Pan.

This man was about 25 or [-] years old, and he looked like a servant of the Rongguo Mansion, but he wore a jade around his waist and was holding a folding fan in his hand, so he was obviously not an idle servant.

"Yo~"

When He San saw Laishun, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and said, "The Chief Lai is here. Come, come, let me introduce you to the two of you. This is Mr. Lai's son."

Then he said to Mr. Lai: "This is the chief shopkeeper of the three tire shops, Laishunlai is the chief shopkeeper."

He deliberately called Laishun the chief in charge, apparently to separate Shun from Lai in the future.

"Master Lai?"

Laishun was a little surprised to hear that, didn't it mean that Da Lai's son had been out of slavery since he was a child, and he still obtained the fame?

How……

"It's my brother Shang Rong who got out of citizenship."

Mr. Lai saw Laishun's doubts and took the initiative to introduce: "Going to Murong again, he is the second son of the family."

It turned out to be Da Lai's youngest son, but this fellow didn't leave the country, but what kind of 'Young Master'?
Laishun nodded suddenly, and asked again, "Second brother Lai came to this tire shop, does it mean that Director Lai has something to explain?"

Lai Murong hurriedly said, "The chief shopkeeper has misunderstood. I am here today with Young Master Biao, and have nothing to do with my father."

Came with Xue Pan?

tsk~
Lately, the Lai family has been keeping their guard up, and never thought that they had secretly hooked up with Xue Pan.

These two are in the same stream, is it possible that they are holding back some bad water?

With increased vigilance in his heart, Laishun asked curiously, "Where did Young Master Biao go? Could it be that he was checking the warehouse in the backyard?"

"This……"

Lai Murong showed some embarrassment on his face, and looked at He San as if asking for help.

He San had no taboos, and said with a smile: "Isn't it heard that there is a beautiful woman in the street at the entrance of Dali Temple, and Young Master Biao is in a hurry to preside over justice."

Laishun: "..."

He presides over a ghost of justice!

Forget it, this idiot is not making trouble next to him, and he is also more clean.

So he said, "Then I won't bother Young Master Biao for now - Manager Li, have you prepared the rules for the pre-order discount to be implemented on the first day of next month?"

The shopkeeper Li hurriedly said: "It has been prepared, because we have a lot of officials and eunuchs in this area, I will follow your wishes..."

"Wait a minute!"

Then Lai Murong suddenly interrupted Shopkeeper Li's report, frowning and said, "Although this is where the chief executive is in charge, after all, Young Master Biao has a different identity.

Sure enough, it's a matter of choice!

Laishun glanced at him speechlessly, and secretly said that Aunt Xue had clearly explained that she should let him go and control Xue Pan.

Just in this guy's mouth, Xue Pan became the most respected in this tire shop.

However, in name, Xue Pan's identity as half of the master's family is indeed higher than that of himself, the manager outside the Rong Mansion.

Laishun was not good at clarifying the matter, so he just asked, "If Young Master Biao doesn't come, wouldn't this errand have to be dragged on forever?"

"Young Master Biao is just watching the fun, I'm sure it won't be long before I return..."

"Where are the people? Where did everyone die?!"

That Lai Murong's mouth seemed to have opened up. As soon as he mentioned Xue Pan, he heard Datou Xue shouting from outside: "Quickly follow me, the prisoners are using their weapons!"

[Lai Shangrong's younger brother, from Chapter 110 of the current edition, the original text is as follows: The Lai family said: "Although my elder brother is a county magistrate, I'm afraid his behavior can't be preserved.

Of course, the name Lai Murong was made up by me. 】
