Chapter 135: Lonely seeking defeat
"Sorry, the shop is full." Seeing a young man coming in with a little book boy, the shopkeeper said apologetically.
Silently smiled and said, "I'm here to find someone, the one named Yao eldest son."
Seeing the silence suddenly coming, the eldest son was very happy. He pulled him in and said excitedly: "I didn't expect you to really come."
Chen Si hugged him with a bear, and laughed: "We are both penniless, so we have to come and join our boss."
The eldest son asked the guy to serve tea and said in surprise: "Didn't you bring forty taels of silver on the way?"
Chen An said depressedly, "It's all spent." In fact, he wanted to say even more, 'I was invited by the young master to buy people', but he didn't dare to say it because he was afraid of being beaten.
The eldest son said with a heartache: "How much salt does this have to be sold?" Then he remembered and asked: "How is the exam?"
"Little Sanyuan!" Chen An rushed to say again, and before he finished speaking, he was knocked on his head by a silence, and said aggrievedly: "I don't dare."
When the eldest son heard that Chen Mo took the first place again, he didn't mention his joy. He quickly asked the clerk to go out and ordered a table of food and food to celebrate Chen Mo.
Chen Si had already eaten at the "hairpin and flower banquet" of Lao Shizi, but seeing that the eldest son was so happy, he saw Xiao Shutong Chen'an begging on his face, so he did not stop him.
If you want to say that this IKEA inn is really good, in a short while, four hot dishes, four cold spices, and a large bowl of hot water shield soup.
Chen Si sat in the right seat, and the eldest son stayed on the left and said to Chen An and the mate, "I don't care about my own people, just serve them on the table." The two had already waited for this sentence, and thanked the two masters with a smile, and then sat down. The eldest son took them to congratulate Chen Si, but Chen Si did not refuse. After drinking three, he picked up a chopstick and started eating it.
Chen Si used the order of food for a while, then put down his chopsticks and talked to his eldest son, asking him if the salt was going well this time.
The eldest son was hesitant and refused to say it, but after a few words of silence, he found out that the production of Zhejiang salt farms was greatly affected because of the raging Japanese pirates. Some salt farms that were not invaded by Japanese pirates began to raise prices... The salt can no longer be bought by salt alone, and they still need to add money to pick up the goods.
I felt that this was normal, but the eldest son was so angry that he had a dispute with the other party at that time. Not only did he not buy salt, but he also tore it to pieces. Looking back now, he still angrily said: "In the past, I never had so many things to buy salt in Shaoxing. Why did I have too many troubles when I arrived in the provincial capital?"
Silent smiled bitterly and said, "Everyone knows that the top four leaders of Kuaiji County have all had their own shares in our store, so naturally they dare not ask you for money."
The eldest son said indignantly: "It's not just about using salt to replace salt. I'm holding a bunch of silver. Why do you have to pay one more?"
Chen Si sighed in his heart. He had made the black and white areas of Kuaiji County so thoroughly that his eldest son never felt the difficulty of doing business. He whispered: "In the future, all the salt in the salt farm in other counties will be taken back to the county government and let them change to the county."
The eldest son felt very frustrated. He drank several cups in succession and said in a muffled voice: "I found that I really didn't make it."
Chen Si comforted him a few words, but the eldest son seemed to be full of worries, kept his head down and never showed his face. Chen Si had to say, "If you really don't want to do it, just leave the deal to the shopkeeper."
"Then what am I doing?" The eldest son suddenly looked up, his eyes turned red and said, "It's too late to study. If you are a soldier, you won't let me go back and fish!"
He looked at this friend who had been young and grown up with a silent smile, not angry at all for his loss of composure, and still said softly: "Let's take a break for a while, and then make your own decision when you calm down."
"Will you support me at that time?" the eldest son asked pitifully.
"It depends on the situation." This guy was stubborn and silent, he didn't dare to perfunctorily treat him casually, otherwise he would have to be regarded as a real person.
When he went to the dock the next day, the eldest son was still listless, and Chen An couldn't amuse him even when he told jokes... Of course, this has nothing to do with his jokes.
It was not until he arrived at the Wulinmen Wharf that he cheered up and went to find the Yin family's ship with silence. In fact, it was easy to find, because the largest ship on the wharf was run with the flag of the "Baotongyuan" business.
When they arrived at the edge of the boat, the sailors in Baotongyuan had already known their eldest son. They were asked to get on the boat without stopping them. They also smiled enthusiastically: "There were exactly four beds in the room last time."
The eldest son was in front and silent, and the two followers followed behind and went up to the deck one after another. They found that there were all kinds of people standing on it, and the people of all kinds were also watching the four of them.
The eldest son whispered: "The road between the two is not peaceful. Baotongyuan is equipped with a bodyguard. Everyone would rather pay the money than take their boat."
Silently nodded without saying anything, but when they walked into the small room in the cabin on the first floor and were about to put down their things, a manager came up and smiled respectfully, "Young Master Chen, your four rooms are on the upper floor."
Chen Si said strangely: "Do you know me?"
The manager said with a little embarrassed expression: "I haven't seen the young master before, but I heard that it was you who came..."
Chen Si shook his head and smiled, "It's great here." When they came, they were nearly 200 people crowded on a double-decker passenger ship, and even the cabin was filled with people. Compared with that time, it was really good.
The manager looked embarrassed and said, "Our boss has instructed that as long as the young master is our boat, he will have to prepare a room for you." He said with a smile: "You can't live there, and we have to empty the room this time, which is not as beautiful as you, so you can live in this room for others."
Silently laughed and said, "I'm embarrassed to let you say it, I'm embarrassed to not stay." Then he followed the manager to the second floor. The space on the second floor was slightly smaller, but there were only six rooms, and there were some decorations outside, which were obviously prepared for the VIPs.
The shopkeeper was the first to open the shopkeeper, and I kindly asked Mr. Chen to go in. This is a suite for the inner bedroom of the outer hall, separated by four screens on the middle of the garden and brocade surface. A thick jacquard carpet was laid on the ground, which set off the brown carved window lattices and round tables and square chairs with ancient style, making the tones of the room basically coordinated. In addition, there are two Tang Dynasty vertical scrolls hanging on the wall, and the precious orchids placed in the corner of the house set off a perfect atmosphere.
After silent retracted his gaze, the in charge stood at the door and said, "Food will be delivered on time. If you have any instructions, just say to the servant outside."
As soon as the door was closed, Chen An looked at Chen with admiration and said, "Young Master, I firmly believe that following you will definitely be delicious and spicy."
Chen Si was helpless at this uncontrollable little Shutong, rolled his eyes and said, "Go, make a pot of tea for me."
Chen An agreed with a smile, then went to touch the teapot, but suddenly withdrew his hand and blew the air conditioner to his fingers, saying, "It's already brewed."
After silently opening the lid of the teapot, the heat rose with the fragrance. He sniffed it slightly and said in front of him: "Good Rain Longjing."
Chen An was even more proud now and laughed: "What am I talking about? It's delicious and spicy..."
The eldest son there was strange, and sat down opposite Shen Mo and said, "They don't ask for you, are they?"
"What kind of family is the Yin family? What should I do, a poor scholar?" Silent laughed: "Since you come, you can rest assured, eat, sleep, and don't be so flattered."
"Young Master is talking about the truth." Chen An flattered him.
"If you still want to have lunch, close your mouth from now on." Chen Si poured tea and said lightly: "If you don't want to eat, continue to say it." Chen An quickly covered his mouth tightly, and did not dare to say a word.
After half an hour, everyone felt a slight movement under their feet and the boat drove away.
It is not far from Hangzhou to Shaoxing, but the big ship is driving slowly and you have to spend a night on the boat and reach the shore the next morning.
This whole day is much harder than usual. In fact, there are a few ancient books collected from Xu Wei in the silent bag. If you can calm down and read books, you will not be afraid of any distance. But there are three living people in the house. This one makes some noise and the other says a few words, which makes it impossible for him to read.
He had to put the book back into his bag, walked to the table and took a look. It turned out that he had already put a horse tag on it, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I won't let me read, it's just for this?"
The three of them smiled embarrassedly, and even the eldest son, who had been listless, was full of energy when he sat on the card table.
As a very authentic Ming Dynasty man, he played horse hang tags naturally in silence... This kind of card is the predecessor of mahjong. There are 40 cards in total, and it is divided into four colors. Each of them will play eight cards first, and the remaining eight cards will be placed in the middle of the table. The four of them take turns playing cards, picking cards, playing cards with big hits, and the one who first produces light is the winner.
It was a game that was popular in the Ming Dynasty at that time. No matter how high or low it was, there was nothing that could not be played. Many people were addicted to horse racing all day and night, and abandoned their business.
Silence is actually a favorite to play two games, but after just a few laps, he can't continue playing because his level is too high... This thing is actually the same as playing mahjong. It is important to look at the previous one, focus on the next one, and guard against the opponent. In addition to determining the basic playing style based on your own card, you also have to judge the situation of the other three players in the field to decide on the cards, play cards, and fish for cards. Foresight in time, speculate on the evolution of the card situation, and judge the pros and cons of the situation.
After working in his previous life, he built the Great Wall for a day. In addition, his super awesome head in this life has achieved his card skills that are lonely and defeated. Only Xu Wei, Tang Shun, He Xinyin and others can fight him for a few rounds. As for the idiots who can't even count these three numbers in front of him, it's really not enough to see.
After a few games, Chen Si was relieved and threw down his card and said to Chen An: "Go outside to see if there is anyone who wants to play. I want to go out and have some breathing."
Those three were already ravaged by him, and he nodded quickly after hearing this... Our Ming Dynasty is not short of people, let alone those who play cards, so there is no need to suffer from his destruction.
Seeing Chen An go out to find someone, Chen Mo also went out and climbed to the top floor along the escalator. He had a habit of standing at the highest point to see the scenery.
