Reborn I want to be a giant

Chapter 126 Which Mother Am I?

The knockout round of the small theater was in full swing, and Yan Hui did not contact Lianghexuan. He rented an inn near Shuimen Street, got up at noon every day, used lunch to deal with some serious business, and went to the bistro in the afternoon. He wanted a seat by the window to watch the knockout match. After the performance that day was over, he went downstairs and waited for Ma Xiaodong to tell a story, and asked his attendants to buy him a bowl of noodles along the way.

Qian Shan, Zhou Zhengping, and Li Xiaotang all knew that he was one of Cheng Fu's partners, so they didn't bother with him about bringing in staple food.

"Which one is the owner?"

More than a dozen people suddenly came in at the door, more women than men, and a well-dressed old woman stood at the front.

Qian Shan and Zhou Zhengping exchanged glances, and they both confirmed that they had never seen these people.Qian Shan stepped forward, "I'm the manager here, may I have a table number for the distinguished guests?" In today's taverns, no matter what floor they are in, it is hard to find a table.

The woman was born ordinary, aged above fifty, but with a rosy complexion, she put a lot of thought into dressing up, she looked like she came from a wealthy family, but Qian Shan couldn't guess her exact identity.He doesn't sound like a person from Jiangnan either.

"You can't be the master, tell your boss to come out."

Qian Shan wondered, who is this person? Cheng Fu had to come forward, "Guest, it's the same if you have anything to tell me. Our boss has complicated affairs, so we don't come here often."

The old woman was willing to look at Qian Shan, "I'm from Beijing, and I'm relative to your boss."

As soon as he heard that he was from Beijing, Qian Shan's characteristic hospitality smile faded, "Our boss has no father, no mother, no relatives, no one knows, please don't mistake relatives."

Before the old woman could speak, a maid behind her lost her temper, "Why are you talking to Aunt Bei?"

As soon as the voice fell, people around laughed softly.

"What kind of concubine do I take for this scene, it turns out to be an old concubine."

"My aunts are not allowed to go out, and the aunts in Beijing are different."

The female regulars who had just entered saw that Qian Shan was being embarrassed, and they couldn't see it, so they sneered a few words.And the words "old aunt" in their mouths did make the old woman's expression stiff.

The maid didn't know that she said something wrong, her face was bloodshot with anger, "Do you know whose aunt she is?"

The regular female customers looked playful, "Whose aunt is not an aunt? The aunt of the prince's family is also an aunt. Also, did you, girl, deliberately expose her background?"

"I think it is. This backyard knowledge is great. It is not strange for the little maid to force the old daughter-in-law to death."

"I guess I'm resentful on weekdays." Several female guests talked more and more enthusiastically.

Qian Shan knew that these guests couldn't bear the sight of the old woman's arrogance, but it was nothing to let the guests stand out for his own affairs. In order not to affect the mood of the guests, he gave Li Xiaotang a wink, and Li Xiaotang ran over knowingly to take the women away. Please come to the table, and at the same time send some wine and food to express your thanks.

After confirming that no guests were affected, Qian Shan turned his head impatiently. Just as he was about to drive people away, he saw that the maid was already crying so badly.

They are really frustrated when they play this kind of drama in the tavern. When others open the door to do business, what they cry at the door is not bad luck or something. Please go outside, we have business tonight."

"Is your boss really not here?" Aunt Bei was obviously a little upset.

Qian Shan didn't talk nonsense to her anymore, and made a gesture of invitation, and at the same time, seven or eight strong guys surrounded her.There is still something I don't understand about this situation, if I don't leave, I will be serious.

It's not that Aunt Bei didn't bring guards, but compared with the thugs in front of her, she was not enough.She bit her lip and could only leave angrily in the end.

As soon as the group of them left, Zhou Zhengping came to Qian Shan's side, "I have already sent someone to notify the owner."

Lianghexuan

Cheng Fu listened to Ringo’s report on the votes for the knockout round, and he didn’t expect that there were quite a few people who were willing to spend money. It was common for Ringo to worry about someone asking for relatives’ votes, but the votes from serious supporters still accounted for the vast majority. Most, and she found that there were too many people who were willing to spend money.Especially for the family members like Jinling, if there is no voting cap, some people will sue Lianghexuan at the government now.

At present, there are three ways to vote, one is registered, and each person registers at the place designated by Dahe Theater; Someone directly scanned the entire store's inventory; the third one was to donate to "Jinling College", ten coins counted as one vote; each person could vote up to [-] votes every half a month.

Speaking of which, this "Jinling Academy" Cheng Fu had an idea before, but he didn't put it into action because there were too many things at hand.It just so happened that Ringo racked his brains to think about those complicated voting methods in order to reduce the unfairness.Cheng Fu simply asked everyone to do something meaningful and donate money in exchange for tickets. Anyway, the small theater does not need to rush to make a profit right now.

The so-called "Jinling College" is actually a library, where everyone can read books without paying. She plans to wait until the building is completed and unveiled, and then try to encourage people to donate more books. After all, some books can't be bought with money. .

Studying in this era is very expensive, and Shui Sheng from Aunt Ruhua's family still has to rely on his father Ke Xiang's running darts who are not at home all year round to go to school without distraction.For those with several children in the family, let alone studying, it is not easy to have a full meal. The existence of "Jinling College" is to enable those who want to study but have no chance to gain something through self-study.

Of course, she hasn't discussed this matter with Yan Hui yet, after all, it was Dahe Theater's money that she paid for.

But... what the heck.

"Zhao Jia's votes are so high?" She only remembered that this girl had a character of neither fighting nor grabbing, but she had no impression of anything else.

Lin Po was also very surprised. Although there were quite a few votes for those who were crying and getting into trouble at every turn, they were still incomparable with Zhao Jia.She only knew that Zhao Jia didn't have many relatives and friends, and the family was doing well in the early years. Later, her father fell ill, and her younger brother also fell ill. The eldest brother had to drop out of school to farm, and her mother had to stay at home to take care of the two patients.

Zhao Jia, who was only 14 years old, thought about selling herself as a concubine to improve the family's situation.But her mother beat her up when she learned that she had the idea.Said that if she had the ambition, she would survive with her own hands. She would not be able to hold her head up for the rest of her life, and the children she had had no future.

Before the preparations for the small theater, Zhao Jia could often find odd jobs on Shuimen Street. She also got the opportunity to welcome guests in the first month of "White Crane Taoist", and the reward from "Manshang" was quite generous, which solved the problem of father and mother at once. Half a year's medicine expenses for my younger brother.

But she also knows that this kind of life is not long-term, so she worries about the future every day.The Dahe Theater was recruiting. She knew about it, but because she was illiterate, she didn't know what she was doing, so she didn't care.Later, the girls in the neighborhood started talking about it, and more and more people signed up, even the little brother selling liquor at the alley, so she took it seriously...

These are the things that Zhao Jia's mother bumped into Lin Po when she was giving Zhao Jia eggs to make up her body.The Zhao family didn't have many relatives and friends, and even fewer relatives came and went after two of them fell ill, even though the Zhao family didn't ask them to borrow a penny.

After Zhao Jia went to the Dahe Theater to compete for the artist spot, Zhao's mother had the cheek to go door-to-door to ask them to vote for Zhao Jia. It didn't cost money, just register.So Zhao Jia's relatives voted for everything they wanted, a total of fifteen.That's why Zhao Jia's high number of votes now are all people who like her, one vote for one vote for real money.

"She must be glad that she didn't become a concubine." Zhao Jia will survive the knockout round without any accidents.

Cheng Fu nodded, and looked at the number of votes for the knockout round of the men's group, which surprised her. The 15-year-old boy named Xuan Lu had higher votes than Zhao Jia.

"I underestimated the people of Jinling City." She rubbed her forehead.

Lin Po smiled and said, "Because it is Lianghexuan who is doing this, and you." Changing to another house may not be able to arouse the enthusiasm of the people in Jinling City.After all, Lianghexuan is not the kind of profit-seeking business, and the first thing to consider when doing something is quality.The people of Jinling City also have eyes, and they know what to do.

Cheng Fu was a little confused, "Is that so?"

While the two were talking, someone sent by Zhou Zhengping also came downstairs, he threw the horse to the men from Lianghexuan and ran upstairs in three steps at a time.Because they were acquaintances, the people from Lianghexuan didn't stop them, they just wondered if something happened in the tavern.

Cheng Han helped Ji Yan deliver the documents to the Yamen today, so he stopped by to go home with Xu Ye.From afar, I saw many people standing in front of their house, their good neighbor Ye Xuexin was also there.Thinking it was a guest of the Ye family, neither of them cared.But when Ye Xuexin saw them appear, she suddenly led the group of people to meet them.

"This lady said she was a relative of yours."

Not to mention Xu Ye, Cheng Han is also a well-known talent in Jinling City, when the two of them stood together, the maidservants became shy.Because the demeanor was too explicit, the two of them felt a chill at the same time.

"Where are the relatives? Our brothers and sisters have no relatives."

Xu Ye also said to Ye Xuexin, "I can testify."

Of course Ye Xuexin knew what they meant by having no relatives, but in terms of blood relationship, not only were their grandmothers and parents alive, but they also had a complete set of brothers and sisters.

"This is Young Master Gu, right?" Aunt Bei stepped forward and looked at him with a smile.

"No."

Aunt Bei was not angry either, she still kept a loving smile, "It seems to be the same as Aunt Chen's grandma."

"What's the matter?" Cheng Han felt that he had practiced for nothing in the past few years, and he was still not calm enough to hear the names of some familiar people.Just now, he almost wanted someone to smash the old woman's mouth.

Aunt Bei looked around, "Isn't it convenient to talk here? Why don't you go in..."

"Fart your fart." Cheng Leng said with a cold face.

At this moment, a carriage turned slowly into the street. Ye Xuexin recognized it as Cheng Fu's carriage. It was spacious, clear and stable, with doors on both sides. It could lie down, sit, drink tea and read books.

The carriage stopped at the gate, and Luo Xing, who was sitting in the front of the car, jumped down first, went around the door and waited, then Jiujiu came down, followed by the yawning little girl.Luo Xing reminded the other party in a low voice, the other party glanced at the people at the door, ignored them, and walked inside on their own.

When Xu Ye saw his little girl came back, he didn't have the heart to watch the sunset at the door with these useless people, so he immediately followed her.

"Is it Miss Gu San? Is it Miss Gu San?" Aunt Bei rushed forward suddenly, but was soon stopped by Cheng's nursing home.

"Miss Gu San, I am your aunt Bei, your mother has already given me your Geng Tie, we will be a family from now on...ah..."

Before she finished speaking, Xu Ye, who had already stepped onto the steps, suddenly turned around and grabbed her by the neck.Ye Xuexin was taken aback by the sudden conflict, Cheng Han had an extra dagger in his hand at some point, and when he was about to get close to Aunt Bei, his hand was held down by Cheng Fu.

"Which mother am I?" She was a little amused.

Xu Ye let go of Aunt Bei.

"Ahem... and... there is another mother, Mrs. Liang Guogong, Zhu Ting. She is your aunt now..."

Cheng Fu picked up the folding fan from Jiujiu's hand and fanned it twice absently, "I don't even have a biological mother, so how can I have a aunt? Just because she is a relative of Concubine Zhu Xian, you can randomly marry irrelevant common people, right? I'm from Jinling, so I can sue the officials if you do this."
