Lucky not to forget

Chapter 10 You Are Different From Others

I have already found the shop. It is on the south end of Shizi Street in the city. Opposite is a restaurant. On the left is a tofu workshop, which sells freshly ground soybean milk and tofu. The one on the right is not good. It is a candle shop run by a widow. Cheaper rent is better than nothing.There used to be a pastry shop in this city, which opened in the north of the city. I felt uncomfortable knowing that I had a colleague. I visited it twice a day. It was difficult to do business, and the number of customers was scarce. Shi and Wuwang ignored it, touched their noses and went back.

Gu Wang was assigning someone to move the shelves, and said angrily, "Since there are no customers and the door is closed, why come to us to say, our new store has not yet opened, and no one has encountered bad luck!"

Mrs. Zhang said in relief, "It's nothing, colleagues are enemies, and there are times when you splash cold water, just pretend you didn't hear it.

Girls in the boudoir also understand the principle of knowing oneself and knowing the enemy, and never ending a hundred battles. Don't expect to inquire about that shop in private.Back then, the Liu Mansion was a family of officials, and they had never tasted any new style of food. The mother in the kitchen often added milk and goat milk to the pancakes, brushed lard on the surface, and baked them in the fire drawer. Turn it over, turn it over ten times and then brush it with soybean oil. It is very particular, and this alone is enough for the cake shop that sings the ring to drink a pot.The north is not like the south. Most of them are cooking cakes and pot kui. Delicate and small snacks are only found in the kitchens of wealthy households. People outside don’t see them very often. I’m afraid you have never heard of fine sand green balls, hibiscus cakes, jujube paste yam cakes, and Yangchun white jade cakes. , If all of them are made and put on the shelves, you don't have to worry about your livelihood.Today, let's get things ready, read the almanac, the sixth day of next month is a lucky day, and when it comes to that day, hang up the banner every moment, and wait to make money.

Right now, the only thing that is unsatisfactory is my uncle's leg. After taking the medicine, I gradually began to feel a little bit more. It was so difficult to ask Pei Zhen to give the needle. For some reason, Aunt Qi avoided seeing her every time Mrs. Zhang went to look for her. The day before yesterday, I called the girl to send a message, and told her the address of Pei's house, and told her to invite someone by herself, and ignore the others.The family has been thinking about it for a long time, if they ask Mrs. Zhang to go, I am afraid that the door will still be closed when they arrive at Pei's mansion, and those who should come will not be able to hide after all, but after thinking about it again and again, it seems that Mr. Pei does not seem to be a vicious person, so they will go to ask for help. Please, seeing that my uncle can go to the ground, if I miss this step, all my efforts will be wasted, and there is still no delay.

Wuwang washed his hands and face, and said to Mrs. Zhang, "I'm going to find Mr. Pei right now. You wait for me anyway. I'll come as soon as I go, and we'll go back to the village together."

Mrs. Zhang worried, "It won't happen! You must be careful, if you can't ask for it, just let it go, or you will die."

Wu Wang smiled and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

On the other side, Pei Zhen was in the study checking the income and output of the business in various places in the past month, and the assistant ran in like a gust of wind, and shouted, "Master, guess who is here?"

Pei Zhen was overjoyed, and raised her head to ask, "But she's here?"

Zhu'er added water to the inkstone, and while grinding it, he replied, "That's right, I'm waiting in the flower hall, and said that I want to see the uncle."

Pei Zhen closed the account book in a hurry, feeling anxious, and asked Zhuer, "Have you ever treated me well?"

Zhu'er said, "Tea and snacks are served, will the uncle go over now?"

Pei Zhen thought about it carefully, then opened the account book again, and the abacus was rattling, and said in a low voice, "Tell her to wait a little bit."

Having said that, I looked at the hourglass five or six times in a row for a cup of tea, finally waited for a full quarter of an hour, and hurriedly dressed and headed to the flower hall.

Looking inside through the carved glass screen, the girl was kneeling, her body was slightly sideways, her sitting posture was graceful and beautiful, because her head was lowered, revealing a tender lotus-like neck and exquisitely carved lower jaw, which was breathtakingly beautiful.

Pei Zhen coughed lightly and walked into the flower hall. She stood up and blessed her. She looked up at him with shining eyes, which made his heart tremble uncontrollably.

"I'm sorry, I got stuck with some trivial matters just now, so I asked the girl to wait." Pei Zhen bowed and returned the gift with a hearty smile on his face. The mercury-colored brocade gown was woven with twigs of precious flowers. Lines, more and more called out the jade-like white and flawless face.

Wu Wang said, "I came here today to ask for your son, my uncle's leg can move now, and I beg you to heal my uncle."

Pei Zhen raised her eyebrows and said, "I reckon it's been a long time since I've taken the medicine, why are you here now?"

Wuwang blushed, and said cowardly, "Young Master's great kindness, Chunjun's family has nothing to repay, it is really 12 points ashamed, and in addition, it is preparing to open a small business recently, and it has been delayed for so long .”

Pei Zhen pretended to be surprised and said, "You actually started a business? What is it?"

Wu Wang shyly said, "My aunt knows how to cook food, so she opened a pastry shop."

Pei Zhen smiled and said, "When will it open? I'll go and see when I have time. It just so happens that I have a restaurant in Nancheng, and I've been trying to find a pastry chef recently. If your shop is doing well, how many pastries you need every day?" You guys can bring the snacks, what do you think?"

Don't look at the calmness on the face, you have received too much favor like a mountain, and you can't breathe. Although it was the first transaction received by the shop, it didn't make her very happy, so she replied, "We It will open on the sixth day of next month. If you are free, please come and sit. If you can eat the cakes, we will send them to Guibao every day. First, we will refund the money you paid for the medicine last time, and then we will talk about other things. .”

Pei Zhen sat down in the upper seat, slowly blew the tea leaves and drank the tea. Gu Wang was a little nervous, and looked up at him, only to see that he lowered his head, his eyes were covered by long eyelashes, and he didn't know what he was thinking , The two stalemate for a while, Pei Zhen said, "I didn't ask the girl to bring snacks to collect debts. The girl's new store just opened, and it is always good to cook oil with a strong fire. Who knew that you misunderstood, it was Pei Zhen's fault. That point Don’t worry about money, just let go of your hands and feet to do business, and it’s not too late when you earn enough?”

Don't look ashamed, and seeing that Mr. Pei's words are so convincing, it's hard to shirk, so he smiled slightly, "Then just follow what Mr. Pei said."

Then Pei Zhen smiled and said, "You can also call me Mr. Mo, just call me Lan Du. Your small name is Chunjun, so what do you mean by the word Wuwang?"

Wu Wang looked sad and said slowly, "My father was not around when my mother gave birth to me. He went to other provinces to inspect official duties, and he was away for three months. At that time, it rained for half a month. , Cars and horses were impassable, and letters could not be exchanged, so I entrusted the messenger in the military camp to deliver the memorial with a sentence, saying that everything is fine, don't expect it, that's how I got my name."

Pei Zhen sighed, "It's true that the husband and wife love each other deeply, and they never forget to report safety in the army."

Wu Wang said, "My parents have known each other since childhood, and they have a very close relationship."

While talking, suddenly the sky darkened, and suddenly there was a strong wind, flying sand and rocks, Wu Wang panicked, and hurriedly said, "If you are free, please come here, Chunjun and uncle and aunt are waiting at home. The sky will change." I'll take my leave today, and I'll visit you another day." After saying blessings and blessings, Pei Zhen wanted to keep her, and she had already walked through the flower hall to the porch.

"You're really impatient!" Pei Zhen thought to himself, and hurried to catch up.

The girl was walking in the wind, her long hair was flying all over the sky, and her dress was fluttering. With her slender body, she looked like she was about to turn into a fairy.Another gust of wind swept by, she staggered and almost fell, Pei Zhen couldn't help reaching out to catch the girl, and the girl fell into his arms. At this moment, she felt a strange fragrance, hugging the soft body , My heart almost popped out of my throat.

Wuwang let out a low cry, struggled to get up, stood there, blushing with annoyance.Pei Zhen was also very embarrassed at this time, and said in a low voice, "I offended you, Miss Wangchun, please forgive me."

Wu Wang saluted and said, "I was rude, just now I would like to thank you son for helping me."

Pei Zhen said, "Don't be in a hurry, I've called someone to take you back." He raised his voice and said, "Zhuer!" Before he could speak, big raindrops poured down, Zhuer hurried over, Pei Zhen looked at the sky, Reluctantly said to Wuwang, "Look, it's about to fall, I'm afraid it's not easy to walk on such a heavy rain road, the first rain comes and goes quickly. Let's go when the rain is lighter."

The rain seemed to be dying, accompanied by the rumbling thunder, the sky was as dark as night, Wuwang sighed, and had to say, "Then let's bother you for a while, it's just my aunt Still in the shop, I must be worried to death."

"It's okay, I'll just send a boy over to let me know." Pei Zhen said cheerfully, and led Wu Wang into the room, and said, "It's getting late, why don't you eat here and then eat again?" Go back."

Wu Wang shook his head and said, "I just came here after eating, you don't have to worry about it." Before Pei Zhen could speak, he turned and stood in front of the window and looked outside, anxious and helpless, hoping that the rain would stop soon. When a girl goes to a man's house and doesn't return for most of the day, it's so amazing if it gets out, it's no wonder if someone doesn't poke her back.

The assistant in that room smiled wildly, pointed to the sky, and raised his thumb. Pei Zhen glared at him, winked and told him to come out, went outside the hall and ordered, "Go and talk to her aunt, just say that because of the heavy rain, Miss Chunjun was left behind by me, I will send her back when the rain stops, and tell her not to wait for her, just go to her own home."

The assistant took the order and ran away in a hurry.Pei Zhen clapped her hands, asked the girl to bring in melons, fruits and tea, and then called Wuwang to sit down, but there was no response after calling several times, so she raised her voice and shouted, "Mr. Chun!"

Wu Wang was taken aback, seeing him standing behind him blushing again, and asked, "Did you call me?"

Pei Zhen smiled and said, "You are wandering too far away, but you can't hear me. The rain won't stop for a while, so you can eat some fruit first, and pass the meal later. How often do you eat sooner or later? You should be hungry after spending a while."

Wu Wang thanked him, seeing him looking at him, he felt very uncomfortable, and there was nothing to say in the hatchback, so he asked, "Can my uncle walk around after the injection in his leg?"

Pei Zhen said leisurely, "After applying the needles, I rested for two days. From the third day on, I had to hold on to practice. When my legs and feet got used to it, I would gradually be no different from ordinary people, but I couldn't run. After all, it was broken." legs, I’m afraid something bad will happen if I run away.”

Wu Wang was very happy to hear this, and thought that Pei Zhen is really a god!He said, "Young master's medical skills are admirable. It's a pity not to be a doctor."

Pei Zhen waved his fan and said, "My family has practiced medicine for generations, and I have worked in the imperial hospital for several lifetimes. It is not easy to see patients of the royal family. If there is any delay, my head will fall. I am very afraid of death, so I still do business Earn a little money and be safe, girl, don't laugh at me for not having big ambitions."

Even that idiot Wen Jun knows how to protect himself, and a smart person like Pei Zhen knows this well.Wu Wang said, "If you don't work in the Imperial Hospital, you can't treat the people. If it spreads to Beijing, it will be a death penalty, right?"

Approval appeared on Pei Zhen's face. Talking to a transparent woman saves effort. This girl looks young, but she has such insight, which is really likable.

Wu Wang said again, "You shouldn't have treated us, if someone reported it, even if Chun Jun's family died, it would be hard for him to repay him."

Pei Zhen smiled lowly, his long and narrow eyes deepened, and said, "You are different from others." He immediately sat down and sipped the tea with a teacup.

Speaking of this tea...he couldn't help looking up at her again. According to reports from the spies sent by Yu Ziqi, she still wanted to go to Duoyi to sell tea, but fortunately she couldn't make it, otherwise he would have to prepare Rob her from the government.She looks so quiet and dignified on the surface, but she is so bold in private. It is really pitiful when you think about it. Which good boudoir girl has suffered like her, her parents died, and she was displaced when she was a child. He's calculated everything... Ahem, when she passes through the door in the future, he will definitely love her a hundred times and a thousand times more.

Don't look at the ever-changing expressions on his face, and remember his sentence just now "You are different from others", my heart can't help beating violently.
