Zongwu: The Days of Mixing in the Tongfu Inn

Chapter 90 "The Legendary Diva"

The two leaned on the stairs and looked down, and saw that the people in the hall were divided into two groups, yelling and cursing at each other, the master and the servant actually relied on Xiao Cui's mouth to gain the upper hand, so that none of them won. Seeing the fierce situation below, Zhang Chen took Tong Xiangyu to the hall and leaned on the doorpost to stare at everyone.

The two opposing sides saw that they did not persuade themselves to stop but were relying on watching the show, so they couldn't help but gradually lowered their voices until they disappeared.

Seeing that the two sides were not arguing, Tong Xiangyu walked to the long table, opened the round fan and said:
"Stop making noise?"

"You guys don't go to work yet!"

"Is there still time to quarrel?"

Her understated few words solved Bai Zhantang and others. After Bai Zhantang and others left, Tong Xiangyu turned to look at Sai Diaochan's master and servant on the opposite side of the table, and said with a slight smile:

"The shopkeeper Sai Diaochan Sai made it very clear last time, my buddies and I will not agree to sell the inn, and they don't want to work in your restaurant either."

Sai Diaochan walked over to Tong Xiangyu with a smile when she heard the words, sat on the bench and took Tong Xiangyu's hand, saying politely:
"No! No! No! I've given up on this idea a long time ago. I came here this time to ask Shopkeeper Tong for help."

Seeing the sincerity of what she said, Tong Xiangyu couldn't help but spread his hands, which obviously meant that there was nothing he could do to help.

Xiaocui couldn't bear it and jumped out again, but Sai Diaochan called her back when she was about to speak.

Seeing Tong Xiangyu's attitude, Sai Diaochan didn't care at all, who made such a high-profile appearance before and arrogantly smashed the field, and now it's considered self-restraint not to push you out.

After drinking Xiaocui, Sai Diaochan sees that Tong Xiangyu won't take the emotional card, so she has no choice but to lure her with profit according to her weakness in the intelligence.

Then he smiled and said:

"I'm not going around the corner anymore. I came here this time because my store is going to be renovated again, but I have invited Hu Shiniang, a famous singer from Yangzhou, to perform here, so..."

Bai Zhantang, who eavesdropped on the conversation between the two, came to Sai Diaochan in an instant, and shouted excitedly:

"Hu Shiniang? That Hu Shiniang from Yangzhou?"

Sai Diaochan nodded affirmatively, Xiaocui didn't speak, but looked at him with disdainful eyes as if he was talking about the truth.

Seeing everyone's disdainful expressions, Bai Zhantang explained embarrassingly:

"I just heard the name, but I've never been there!"

"I also heard from customers that she has just become famous not long ago, but she is already a cash cow for brothels in Yangzhou..."

Everyone understood the meaning of Bai Zhantang's words before he finished speaking, Sai Diaochan nodded slightly in the face of everyone's doubts and did not explain.

Xiao Cui, who was behind her, saw the owner's signal, and said triumphantly:

"It's not easy! Just throw money at it!"

Everyone was speechless for a while, what a simple and unpretentious method.

After waving away the people who gathered at the long table again, Tong Xiangyu stared at Sai Diaochan's eyes and said calmly:

"Are you showing off?"

The cold tone made the atmosphere a little tense, and the money from Chase Bank that Sai Diaochan took from his bosom broke the situation.

Gently placing the two 500 taels of silver bills in his hand on the table, Sai Diaochan felt the chill disappear just now, and instead stared at the silver bills on the table with fiery eyes.

Zhang Chen, who had been watching the show, reached out and picked up the silver ticket on the table. After careful observation, he said with a smile:

"The banknotes of Datong Bank are not common, especially after the counterfeit banknote case some time ago, such large denomination banknotes are even rarer. It seems that the treasurer Sai's family is not an ordinary rich man."

Zhang Chen, who was watching the play before, suddenly spoke up, and Tong Xiangyu regained his previous calmness. She tacitly stopped talking and handed over the scene to Zhang Chen. She believed that Zhang Chen would never talk nonsense.

Unexpectedly, everything was going to be a success, Zhang Chenlai came out from the side, and Sai Diaochan had no choice but to continue acting, and saw that her expression quickly became sad, and her voice was choked up, telling that her family was in ruins and her relatives had passed away, leaving only the master and servant to depend on each other sad story.

It is obvious that her story has been conceived for a long time. Whether it is the words or the expression, the performance is extremely perfect, but it is because the perfection is outrageous that it makes people suspicious.

Zhang Chen watched the performance of her master and servant to see what kind of tricks they had, and then took a step back to signal Tong Xiangyu to continue the conversation just now.

Seeing that Zhang Chen didn't stop the conversation, Tong Xiangyu understood that he wanted the transaction to succeed, and then said:
"The life experience of shopkeeper Sai is indeed pitiful!"

"I apologize for my guy's rudeness, but he's just worried that I'm being scammed"

"Please forgive me, Shopkeeper Sai"

A few words tore up the atmosphere created by Sai Diaochan just now, and everyone's eyes returned to normal, no longer the sympathy they had before.

Sighing secretly that it was a good idea, Sai Diaochan got back to the topic, and wanted Tongfu Inn to entertain Hu Shiniang for a few days, and this bank ticket was the fee for her staying here for a few days.

After Sai Diaochan finished talking about the matter, Tong Xiangyu fell into deep thought. She needed to think about the pros and cons of the matter. If Zhang Chen hadn't interrupted her before, she might have agreed, but now Zhang Chen didn't explicitly refuse, which made Tong Xiangyu a little tangled.

And Bai Zhantang couldn't help but ask curiously when Tong Xiangyu was struggling:

"Is it really Hu Shiniang? Come in a few days?"

His anxious expression made Tong Xiangyu a little uncomfortable. She wanted to see how pretty that Yangzhou singer could be, so she said:
"Okay! I promise!"

After finishing speaking, he reached out and put the banknotes in his arms, Tong Xiangyu ignored them, and then turned around and left the hall to return to the room.

Tong Xiangyu agreed to this to put Sai Diaochan at ease, stood up and bowed to salute and left the inn, Xiaocui next to her followed her master step by step, and turned around suddenly after walking out of the gate, making faces to scare everyone.

Seeing Xiaocui still like this, everyone shook their heads and lamented that he was really a naive child.

When the two of them disappeared, everyone gathered together to talk about the Hu Shiniang mentioned just now. Seeing that Tong Xiangyu was not there, Bai Zhantang said triumphantly:

"Do you know what a famous prostitute is? It means that they are proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to having a good appearance. What I said is just the basics. The most important thing is that they all have the skills to become famous."

"For example, this Hu Shiniang, who became famous as Qu Hu Shiniang's next soup, became famous for a while, and was sought after by many wealthy businessmen."

Bai Zhantang talked about Hu Shiniang's news vividly, Dazui raised his hand to signal that he had something to say, and everyone was even more surprised when they saw that Dazui was curious, which was not in line with his personality.

And Dazui also lived up to everyone's expectations, scratched his head and said:
"Why is it the following soup? I can make several kinds of this stuff at will. The rich merchants in Yangzhou make so much money?"

After hearing the words, Bai Zhantang was silent for a moment and burst out laughing, walked over and patted Dazui on the shoulder and said:

"Big mouth! You are still so cute!"

Dazui was frightened by Bai Zhantang's strange gaze, and hurried to the kitchen to escape. Although Zhang Chen had never been to a brothel, he could probably guess what it meant after the era of information explosion in his previous life.

From some angles, Dazui is really too simple. Sometimes his strange words make everyone laugh, which is something that other people in the inn cannot do.
