Chapter 7 Donne
"Why not?" He Shao asked.

"Little Four, show this He Langjun your hands."

He Shao's eyes blurred, and a dagger was actually pressed against his throat.

"This kid is a genius who kills people, what if you feel sorry for him that day and he kills you?" Min Weng laughed intermittently.

"I'm not afraid, it's just him"

Knowing that he might find a treasure, He Shao naturally couldn't give up.

"Okay, you chose who you are. You are in business. I have someone here who can help you. Xiaosi, go and call Old Ji in."

"it is good"

Taking advantage of Xiao Si's absence, Min Weng got up with his hands behind his back, went into the room and took out two pieces of paper.

"This old Ji is a treasure. Not only can he read and write, he knows a little bit about divination and astrology, it's just that he is old, and he has a little bit of talent, so I will give it to you."

"This is the contract of prostitution for these two people. Every line has its own rules. When they arrive at your house, they will not communicate with me in private.

But everyone who comes here, the old man will also give instructions, you can beat and scold, but there is one thing you can’t be hungry, I hope you can treat them kindly”

Min Weng chattered about giving the deed of sale to He Shao. Many times, a person's life is equivalent to these two flimsy pieces of paper.

"Don't worry, I will"

"That's what everyone said before they left"

"I don't have the money with me now, I will send it to you tomorrow"

"It's okay, few people in Kaifeng City dare to owe me money"

The dancing lights reflected Min Weng's face, and the old man smiled like a ghost hiding behind the candlelight.

"In the future, if you have nothing to do, you can come here often, and bring more of your meat. I don't always have a taste in my mouth at this age. Your meat is very appetizing."

"it is good"

He Shao agreed happily, but he didn't have a good impression of Min Weng, maybe because of the image of the old man, or because of his deep psychological resistance to human traffickers.

The smuggler himself lived in such a luxurious place, but let those young children beg everywhere to make money for him.

"I will disappear those two people, you take them away"

Min Weng shook his head, turned and left, and went back to his room to sleep.

After He Shao went out, Xiaosi stood at the door, and beside him was an old man with unshaven beard and a little gray hair mixed in. He looked about 50 years old, and he was 48 years younger than He Shao.

"Let's go, the butcher shop will be your home from now on"

"It's the young master"

He Shao originally thought that he had done a good deed and saved two people who were in dire straits who were being exploited by human traffickers, but Xiaosi was not too excited, and the old man Ji Zai was also very flat.

It was midnight after He Shao returned to the fragrant meat shop, and He Anwen hurried out to have a look when he heard the movement.

"You are finally back"

"Where's Badger Lang?"

"It's okay to be a little frightened, I've already fallen asleep"

"That's good." He Shao also heaved a sigh of relief.

"Feng Lang, these two are..."

He Anwen looked at He Shao who was followed by a half-grown child and an unshaven old man of his age, so he asked.

"This is Xiao Huazi I met on the road, and this is Ji Zai, they helped find Badger Lang.

Ji Zai didn’t have a subsistence job in Kaifeng City, I thought our business was getting better and needed a helper, so I brought it back.”

He Anwen saved his whole life, and He Shao was still a little worried that his father would not want to, but He Anwen looked at the dirty little four with distressed eyes.

"This child must have suffered a lot, this will be your home from now on"

"Brother Ji, I have nothing to thank you for helping me find my son. If you don't dislike me, you will stay and be a helper?"

"Thank you, Brother He"

"Feng Lang, what is this child's name?"

"I've already decided on a name, it's He Si"

He Si is familiar with some martial arts skills of the Huazi in the city, He Shao asked him to return the money to Min Weng, and then followed He Jing to the private school to avoid further accidents.

Fortunately, Yu Futong may not have done anything because he failed last time, while Ji Zai followed He Anwen to work in the kitchen.

For Ji Zai and He Si, He Anwen was even more satisfied. Although he was a bit old, he worked swiftly and diligently. He Si carried a few pig heads and put them in the pot.

When he was asked to rest, he just smiled honestly, and the work in his hands didn't stop at all.

The kitchen was sweltering, and He Anwen leaned against the doorway holding a futon in his hand to fan the wind for a while, watching Ji Zai and He Si repeatedly sighing with emotion.

"Like me, they are hard-working people who have endured hardships. After all, they are hardworking."

After finishing speaking, He Anwen looked at He Shao who was lying in the rocking chair under the shade of a tree enjoying the coolness, how he looked at him, how he reacted, and finally couldn't help but kicked in the past. How could He Shao, who fell off the chair, know what happened to him? What a disaster.

Of course, He Shao wasn't resting, he was just thinking about how to deal with Fan Lou with his eyes closed, and he could only blame the hot weather.

After having Ji Zai, the amount of meat that can be marinated in the Xiangbutcher shop has almost doubled, and the business is so good that the corner shop next to it is jealous, and there are people queuing up early in the morning every day.

"Dou knows you're here"

"Your front please"

"How funny is that"

"You are busy with work, and it is only natural for everyone to accommodate."

A middle-aged man with white hands and face without a crown on his head, carrying a food box and wearing felt boots, someone greets him every few steps he takes.

He Shao knew from the very beginning that this man called Dou Douzhi was not an ordinary person, but he didn't know what his identity was. Every time he came, the people in front of him would voluntarily give up their seats, and the people behind him would not only smile. No comments.

The food box he was carrying was also different from the others, the maroon color also had a dragon pattern on it, since the Song Dynasty advocating red, only dignitaries are eligible to match red, and the dragon pattern can only be used by people in the palace.

It wasn't until one time when someone was drunk that he inquired about it. Dou knew that his real name was Dou En, and he was a minister in the palace. The Yeting Bureau knew that he was responsible for the food and clothing of the concubines in the harem.

"He Langjun, I'm here to disturb you again." Dou knew that no matter who he saw, there was a smile on his face.

"What are you talking about, it's our honor for you to come, please come inside"

"No, there are other important things to do today. Put it in the food box as usual. Others and nobles have been waiting for a long time."

Dou Duzhi handed over the food box, and took out some scattered silver taels and put them on the counter.

"They're all regular customers, you're going to see someone else now"

He Shao shied away, and Dou knew that his tone was a little displeased.

"I also run errands for others, and it would be terrible if the nobles knew that I didn't pay for it."

"Okay, then I'll accept it, and I'll pretend it for you"

He Shao took the food box, and filled three servings each of the head meat and Yuan hoof. Although Xiangroufang claims to limit purchases, it is also divided into people.

He Shao didn't dare to be careless about the things prepared for the palace, and if there was a slight mistake, he would lose his head.

"What you want is packed"

Dou Duzhi took the food box and felt the heavy weight, and smiled with satisfaction.

"It's hot in summer just now, and the nobles don't have a good appetite and have less appetite. Your eating has helped me a lot."

Dou En is not so much telling He Shao, but more like telling others that the palace likes it very much. This is to make a name for the small fragrant meat shop.

Every move in the palace has attracted much attention, especially likes. A fragrant meat shop labeled Tianjia's likes is even more busy.

"You don't even have time to sit down and have a sip of wine after you're so busy, so I packed a copy for you"

Dou Duzhi left with the food box in his right hand and the meat wrapped in lotus leaves by He Shao in his left.

Dou Douzhi is also a frequent visitor here, and every time he comes, he will ask for three portions of meat from the shop, but he always carries a four-layer food box. He Shao is also a genius, how could he not know the mystery of it.

The upper and lower layers of the food box are filled with meat, while the middle layer is filled with silver taels.

When meeting such a person, you have to say polite things, tell others, and do serious things, both are indispensable.

Ye Ting Bureau is one of the five bureaus under the Internal Guard. Dou En is only known to Ye Ting Bureau, and his status in the palace is not too high, otherwise he would not need to go to a small fragrant meat shop to reap benefits.

Compared with the high-ranking ministers of the internal servants, He Shao is more willing to support one by himself, so that the one he supports will not have two hearts, not to mention that a small fragrant meat shop can't satisfy the appetite of those big people.

After finally meeting someone from the palace, He Shao would of course find a way to make friends.

Although He Shao is young, he is smart and witty and behaves more like a veteran.

The laws of the Song Dynasty are very lenient to prisoners but harsh on corruption, and Dou En didn't dare to be blatant, so he tried it with a food box, and he didn't expect that He Shao immediately knew how to handle things without leaking.

Dou En opened the food box, and there were two ingots of silver and a note in it, and they made an appointment to meet at Wanchun Tower on the holiday.

Since the Tang Dynasty, the eunuchs and maids in the palace had one day of rest every week, and the Song Dynasty gave more preferential treatment to the courtiers, who could rest once every three days.

There are also some secret doors in the palace that people can get out of when they are on duty, but Dou En is very curious about what this clever young man wants to do when he sees him.

"Could it be that you have something to ask yourself?" Dou En guessed.

Compared with the servants of those officials and eunuchs, the status of everyone in the palace is naturally much higher and unattainable, but everyone in the palace is full of people, and there are several people in the small Ye Ting Bureau. , Most of the people above know that there are as many as five other missions like Ye Ting Bureau.

Dou En is already in his forties and it's time to climb up the ladder, but he doesn't have any resources, and the Yeting Bureau is not an important office, so he can't get any benefits at all, and he knows that his position is already his limit.

He Shao is clever and clever, after all, he is just a corner store merchant, and he can't give him much support in terms of power or money, so Dou En is not going to meet him.

Thinking that he might be able to receive a tribute, Dou En decided to meet He Shao with the idea that it would be a fortune to make more money.
