Qiankun Storyteller

Chapter 72 Divide
It's another fair, and the bookstore opens.

Su Wen finished speaking as usual, and the original version of the serious Three Heroes and Five Justice Bao Gongan calmly stepped down after receiving applause and boos.

Leaving the front desk, going back to the backstage, going to the shopkeeper's room, only to hear a sound of lessons coming from the door.

"What did I tell you?"

"Don't fan your storytellers, this fan is not for you!"

"A storyteller's fan is a sword, a gun, a sword, a halberd, an axe, a hook, and a fork. They are eighteen kinds of weapons for dancing and writing. They are used for gestures when storytelling. They can also be used as small Xingmu knocks to set the stage, but they cannot be fanned for you on stage. The wind finds coolness."

"Think about it, you sit under the stage and listen to a book with your neck stretched out, and the gentleman on the stage is holding a fan and fanning himself there, how do you feel? , it’s also quite an eyesore!”

"How can you concentrate on listening to a book?"

"..."

Su Wen waited in front of the door for a while, until the voice of admonition stopped, and then he raised his hand and knocked on the door: "The shopkeeper!"

"Ask my brother?"

Meng Shi opened the door, with a bit of surprise on his face, but he still said out loudly: "I'm stepping down, how is today?"

Su Wen nodded and said with a smile, "Thanks to the shopkeeper, it's not bad!"

"That's your ability, come, come, come into the room and talk!"

Meng Shi welcomes Su Wen into the house, and invites a stubborn young man who is unwilling to admit defeat: "This is my kid, take a look, how does it look, stand up for me, this is you, Su Wen, Big Brother Su, how about you?" Do not call anyone!"

Hearing this, the young man wanted to let out a cold snort to put on a show, but when he saw Meng Shi's face like a pot, he lowered his head before the cold snort came out, and shouted to Su Wen unwillingly: " Brother Su!"

Su Wen smiled lightly and nodded, answering the sound.

"Okay, stay aside!"

Meng Shi waved the boy aside, then asked Su Wen with a smile, "But what's the matter?"

Su Wen nodded and said with a smile, "There is something I want to tell the shopkeeper."

"Oh?"

Meng Shi frowned, then turned to the boy beside him: "Go out and stay."

"father!"

"go out!"

"..."

The young man looked dejected and turned around helplessly.

"no need!"

Su Wen said aloud, "Shopkeeper, please follow me!"

"This……"

Meng Shi looked at Su Wen, although he was surprised in his heart, but he didn't ask further, he got up and said to the young man, "You stay here."

"father!"

"To shut up!"

"..."

The poor boy had no right to speak in the face of the harsh parents, he could only watch helplessly as his father and Su Wen, a child from another family, left, leaving himself alone in the room.

Su Wen led Meng Shi out of the backstage, and then went up to the second floor, heading for the private room.

"This...ask brother!"

Although Meng Shi didn't know what kind of medicine Su Wen sold in the gourd, the guests in the private room couldn't disturb him casually, so he had to go forward and stop him.

Su Wen raised his hand and said reassuringly, "Don't worry, shopkeeper."

After finishing speaking, he walked to the private room ahead.

There are two guards in front of the Yajian door, dressed in black clothes and black trousers as gang disciples.

Seeing this, Meng Shi hurried to catch up, only to find that those two men didn't dare to make things difficult for Su Wen, and even stretched out their hands to push open the private room door.

"This……"

"Shopkeeper, please!"

After Su Wen said so, Meng Shi couldn't talk too much, so he could only follow behind him, and the two walked into the private room together.

Entering the private room, I saw a man, dressed as a scholar in a Confucian shirt and a crown, with a clear face and an extraordinary bearing.

"Who is this……"

Although he is the owner of this bookstore, he also knows that there is a guest in the private room today, but Meng Shi has never seen this person. Who is it? I only heard from the first waiter that the distinguished guests of Jinjianmen are guarded by disciples of Jinjianmen.

When Meng Shi was surprised, Su Wen said, "Let me introduce, this is Mr. Jin Jian——Li Zhu!"

Li Zhu also cupped his hands, and said to Meng Shi: "Li Zhu, a mountain man, has seen shopkeeper Meng."

"Li Zhu?"

"Mr. Golden Sword?"

Meng Shi stood on the ground dumbfounded, looking at Li Zhu who was bowing to him with eyes full of horror, it took him a long time to realize, and immediately bowed down: "I don't know if it's the Master of the Golden Sword Sect, I'm far away to welcome you, the Master forgive me!"

"Where is the shopkeeper Meng talking?"

Since Li Zhu would not let him bow down, he directly lifted him up with both hands, and said with a smile, "I should plead guilty by taking the liberty to come here."

"This……"

Li Zhu's actions made Meng Shi freeze in place, stunned and at a loss.

But Su Wen's next move horrified him even more.

"Don't blame the shopkeeper."

Su Wen waved his hand, Li Zhu nodded, stepped aside and stood still, the relationship between master and subordinate was clear.

"This……"

Meng Shi's eyes were full of astonishment, he looked at Su Wen and then at Li Zhu, not knowing what to say.

Su Wen didn't explain, just said: "Shopkeeper, Su Wen came today to bid farewell to you."

"Farewell?"

Meng Shi was stunned, looking at Su Wen and Li Zhu, finally savoring what happened, his expression became extremely complicated.

After a long time, he calmed down and said to Su Wen, "Brother Wen, you really are not a mortal!"

Su Wen smiled and didn't explain: "The shopkeeper's care during this time, Su Wen will remember it in his heart, and I am very grateful!"

"Ask brother... Mr. Su is serious!"

Meng Shi changed his identity and words, and said with a wry smile: "It's Meng Shi's luck to meet a noble man!"

Su Wen shook his head and said, "May I ask, how many people are there in the shopkeeper's family?"

"This……"

Meng Shi frowned, and replied in a deep voice: "The old father and mother have gone, Zhuo Jing has also passed away for many years, and there are only two people at home, the dog and the dog."

Su Wen said with a smile: "Then the shopkeeper may have considered renewing the book, and then closed the bookstore, and returned to the hometown to buy some property, so that he can raise his grandchildren and live up to his old age?"

Meng Shi frowned, uncertain: "Young Master Su means...?"

Su Wen shook his head: "Shopkeeper, Su Wen has some things to do in Anping, I'm afraid it will cause trouble in the future, I don't want to get involved with the shopkeeper, here is 1000 taels of silver, the right to use it as capital for the sale of this bookstore, the shopkeeper can go back You can also go to Fucheng to buy property, how about this bookstore and me?"

After finishing speaking, Su Wen stretched out his hand and opened the box on the table, inside were bright ingots and silver ingots.

"This……"

Meng Shi looked at the box of snowflake silver on the table, not knowing how to respond to Su Wen.

Su Wen was not in a hurry, waiting for his decision.

Didn't you say that you should be honest and tell stories safely? Why do you have to come out with Meng Shi?
Because Su Wen's honesty and Su Wen's stability are not the same concept as ordinary people's honesty and stability.

If it was just telling some ordinary stories, then Su Wen didn't need to do so many things at all, no big shot would have trouble with a small storyteller.

But if this is not true, in order to harvest the aura, Su Wen must tell some unusual stories and make some unusual movements, which will definitely cause all kinds of troubles and disasters.

can not avoid!

Although now he controls the Golden Sword Gate and the Qilin Gang, and is covered by the tiger skin of Baiyunguan Faming Temple, in this small Anping County, no one can make things difficult for him, but... the world is impermanent, now it is safe, and in the future Not necessarily safe.

No one can guarantee that he will not cause major disasters in the future.

Su Wen is not afraid of catastrophe, because he has a lot of cards in his hole, he can fight when disaster comes, and escape if he can't. It is not difficult for him to run away with a bucket.

But he can only run by himself, and he can't take others with him. If he doesn't want to involve others, he must cut it in advance.

Don't ask why he didn't go to other places, but insisted on making trouble here in Anping. If he really provoked the kind of enemy who had to run away with a bucket, no matter where Su Wen went, the other party would trace the root cause, and the result would still be the same.

Can only do cutting!
There is no need to do too much cutting, it's just Meng Shi's family, and the others have almost nothing to do with Su Wen.

Meng Shi also understood Su Wen's meaning, and he said after a long time: "After you take over, will this bookstore still be open?"

Su Wen shook his head and said, "No more."

"The others..."

"I'll make arrangements!"

"..."

Meng Shi fell into silence again for a long time: "Can I refuse?"

Su Wen looked at him: "Why is the shopkeeper doing this?"

Meng Shi shook his head, said with a wry smile, "I can't let go of the ancestral things, and I don't want to let go."

"..."

Su Wen was silent, and then sighed: "Everyone has their own ambitions, and you can't force it. After Su Wen left, the shopkeeper can spread the news, saying that I have neglected my interests and moved to other places. Don't worry about it. In the future, if someone comes for Su Wen What you asked and the shopkeeper's embarrassment, the shopkeeper can tell what he saw today, and put aside the relationship between you and me."

"Transitions?"

Meng Shi was stunned: "You still want to tell a story?"

Su Wen smiled: "Speak, of course you have to say, not only you have to say it, but you have to say it!"

"..."

Meng Shi vaguely understood, looking at the smiling Su Wen, he didn't know how to respond.

Su Wen didn't say much, just said: "Let's settle the matter like this, shopkeeper, Su Wen... I'm taking my leave!"

After all, regardless of Meng Shi's reaction, he walked towards the door, and Li Zhu followed suit.

Just as he walked to the door...

"Ask brother!"

Meng Shi called out to stop him.

Su Wen stopped and turned around.

Meng Shi looked at him, hesitated to speak, didn't know what to do, and finally just bowed his hands: "Take care!"

Su Wen smiled, and also cupped his hands: "Take care, shopkeeper!"
