Chapter 23
Seeing that Lu Weimang didn't seem to hear, the shopkeeper heaved a sigh of relief.
Those who run a store are most afraid of conflicts between customers in the store, which will not only affect their business, but also spread the word, and it will not be good for their store's reputation.So after returning to the counter in a hurry, I picked up the abacus and counted the accounts.
Seeing that no one paid any attention to them, the eccentric master and servant felt as if the two of them had acted in vain just now, so they were embarrassed and angry, looking at other customers in the store, they always felt that they were laughing at themselves.
"Hey... I thought I was an upstart, but I didn't expect to be a shrinking turtle."
The young lady's words became more and more harsh. As soon as Steward Lu's face changed, he was about to turn around and argue, but Lu grabbed his arm ahead of time.
Lu Weimang's hands are strong, and he can pin the butler in place without any effort by grabbing the butler's arm.
"Miss?"
Steward Lu looked at his young lady's face, so she heard it, and thought that the young lady was picking something in high spirits just now, and she didn't hear anything outside the window, and didn't hear the hateful master and servant singing together.
"Is the carriage parked far? There are too many things and it's not easy to carry."
Lu Weimang turned to talk to the housekeeper.
Although Steward Lu didn't know what his lady was planning, he still answered seriously.
"Miss, this place is quite close to the street, so the carriage is not far away. After a while, let Yu Tie and the others put the things back on the carriage, and then we will walk in. There is a pastry shop on this street, which is a century-old shop , it is said that it has been famous since the previous dynasty, and anyone who comes to the capital will buy a few to try."
"Well, I'm hungry after hearing what you said, let's go buy a few things in a while, and then find a teahouse to rest."
Lu Weimang was talking to his butler, the shopkeeper's abacus was flying, and the guys were all on the side, reporting the things Lu Weimang bought one by one.
In the end, it was the master and servant who made sarcastic remarks just now. He couldn't bear it anymore. He just felt that all his words just fell to the ground, and his own face also fell to the ground.
So he walked over aggressively, and Lu Weimang stopped the housekeeper who wanted to turn around.
After all, she is a woman, so it is inappropriate for the housekeeper to take action.
Although Lu Weimang turned his back to the master and servant as usual, but when he heard the voice rushing from behind, he felt that the wind had reached his ears, so he immediately blocked it.
We all know that force is relative.
Although the young lady shot aggressively, she had no strength to restrain the chicken, and if she was about to hit, it would just make Lu Weimang's face and neck red and swollen.But Lu Weimang secretly exerted force, although it seemed that Lu Weimang raised his hand to block the slap, but only the person who hit the person knew that his wrist seemed to hit a galloping horse, and it was like an iron arm. After being stunned and numb, there was a pain like a burning fire.
"Ah! my arm, my wrist..."
What Lu Weimang blocked happened to be the front half of the man's arm, close to the wrist. Therefore, everyone in the store, including the shopkeeper, saw that the eccentric lady just now became angry from embarrassment, and aggressively came up to the person who was paying the bill. The little girl slapped her head and face, everyone just wanted to stop her, but the young lady moved too fast to stop her in time.
I thought that the delicate and lovely little girl would be at a disadvantage. After all, the lady behind her was a head taller than Lu Weimang, but unexpectedly the situation took a turn for the worse. It was the aggressive young lady behind her who wailed.
Listening to the hoarse wail, two words involuntarily emerged from the bottom of everyone's heart, "Pengcier".
Lu Weimang seemed to have just been awakened by the wailing sound, and jumped to the side. Panic suddenly appeared on his expressionless face just now, and she pointed at the uncomfortable bent lady, looking around in a panic. , "What's the matter? Is it Pengcier? Everyone saw it just now, it has nothing to do with me! Just now I thought there was a mosquito in my ear, so I wanted to stretch out my hand to scratch it, but she ended up like this."
After finishing speaking, he was still afraid of being entangled, and ordered the shopkeeper, "Report the case quickly, and now that there are so many witnesses, let someone from the yamen come to me to clarify."
There is nothing the shopkeeper can do.
What happened in my own shop, I should take advantage of the presence of witnesses and make it clear, otherwise my shop might be affected if they become entangled in the future.
"Go, call the official to come over."
The bustling commercial street is patrolled by officials all day long. The guys know this without asking. The officials must be fishing at the tea stalls in the middle of the street. So, after a while, the guys brought the officials over. .
Seeing the official messenger, the maid who had been comforting her lady seemed to see her backer, "Come here quickly and arrest her. Our lady is the daughter of the Zuo family, the minister of the Ministry of Industry."
The official sent a headache when he heard the official lady.In this way, one official and one civilian are easy to deal with. If both of them are officials, it will be difficult to say.
"you are?"
One of the officials carefully asked about the situation.
"This is the daughter of General Lu Zhonglang's family."
The officer's face turned bitter when he heard this.
"Shopkeeper, tell them, is it that young lady Pengcier?"
Lu Weimang didn't want to stay here for too long, anyway, the two officials couldn't solve the case, so he just asked them to record the situation, and he still had to go shopping.
"You two servants, the thing is like this, just now this Miss Zuo came over and wanted to hit this Miss Lu, but for some reason she started crying, Miss Lu was afraid of bumping into someone, so please come over and be a witness."
The shopkeeper tried to tell the truth, but the maid refused to let her go, "You are talking nonsense, obviously this little girl hit our lady, otherwise why is our lady so hurt?"
The shopkeeper spread his hands, "If you think what I said is wrong, there are other people in this shop who witnessed it, you can ask them one by one."
The maid looked around, but couldn't speak.
Because the fact is that, as the shopkeeper Ruo said, her young lady struck first, and then she was suspected of being injured. Between the two of them, apart from touching arms, they didn't even have a decent fight. They could only look at their young lady with a sad face. , "Miss, tell me, did she hurt someone with a hidden weapon?"
This Miss Zuo was so painful that she couldn't speak for a while, and she didn't stop Lu Weimang from calling the official. Now that everyone's eyes are on her master and servant, should she roll up her sleeves for everyone to see?And as we all know, in this case, there will be no traces for a while, and you have to wait a few days for the traces of bruising to appear.When the time has passed, I'm afraid it would be self-defeating to speak out, so Miss Zuo gritted her teeth and said to the servant girl, "Why are you yelling? Why don't you hurry up and help me back home!"
The servant girl was reprimanded by the young lady, so she stepped forward to support her own young lady quite aggrieved, and the two of them bypassed the official post at the door, and left in despair.
The two officials were also happy to make big things into small things, and small things into nothing, so they clasped their fists at everyone in the store, ready to retreat.
Lu Weimang nodded, the butler clasped his fists, and the shopkeeper sent him out of the door, the farce was over.
Everyone in the store had different expressions at the moment, as if watching a pantomime, scratching their hearts and minds. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Miss Zuo has got the trick, but they don't know how the cute little girl Yuxue in front of him did it.
Lu Weimang still had a naive look on his face, while praising the shopkeeper for his good calculation, he asked the shopkeeper to give him a discount, "Shopkeeper, I bought so much today, you have to give me the lowest price." Forget it!"
While dialing the abacus, the shopkeeper replied, "Don't worry, our store has always been of high quality and low price, and no one can deceive anyone."
"Then give me some presents."
The shopkeeper finished his abacus now, looked up at Lu Weimang who had just reached the height of the counter, smiled kindly, "It's 72 taels in total, I'll give you a change, Chenghui 72 taels. This piece of ink , it was custom-made by our store from Mofang, and it has always been only for regular customers, and today I will also send you a piece, you use it well, and come back later.”
Lu Weimang nodded happily, his eyes were crescent-shaped with a smile, "Okay, I will definitely use this ink well when I go back. Butler, give me the money!"
Trembling, Steward Lu took out the silver bills from his pocket. He thought that the lady would use his own money, and he brought a total of one hundred taels of silver bills. This shop used up half of them, and no one would detain them for laundering later. plate?
"give change!"
The butler gritted his teeth, smiled, and looked at the shopkeeper.
The two round-faced old men faced each other, one smiled sincerely, the other gritted his teeth, Lu Weimang watched from the side and secretly smiled.
After leaving the store, Steward Lu asked the man to follow the guard Yu to send the things back to the carriage, while he went shopping with the lady and the rest of the guards.
"Miss, please stay."
Suddenly, a young man rushed up from behind and stopped Lu Weimang and the housekeeper.
Lu Weimang looked at the imposing guard behind him, and then at the young man in a fine attire with a straight back but an inexplicably carefree demeanor.
"I'm being abrupt, but there's something I don't understand, and I feel uneasy."
Said, looking at Lu Weimang with piercing eyes.
Lu Weimang looked around, "I'm hungry, I'm going to eat now."
"I just know a store with a light taste, which is very suitable for a little girl like you."
In the end, a group of people showed up at some of the largest restaurants on Taxation Street.
"Just in the lobby, I haven't eaten outside in Kyoto yet."
Lu Weimang is still at the stage of seeing everything fresh.
"it is good."
Two groups of people sat down at separate tables, Lu Weimang led the butler, the young man also brought his personal entourage, and the guards sat separately.
While waiting for the food, the boy couldn't wait to ask Lu Weimang again, "How did you make that powerful hidden weapon with no wound?"
Most people would think so, but Lu Weimang didn't explain, just picked up the chopsticks and stuck them on the table, half of the chopsticks were like being inserted into tofu.
Lu Weimang opened his big black and white eyes, which were full of innocence.
"There is no hidden weapon, we can't get access to that kind of high-end stuff."
