Chapter 556 I don’t want to owe it to the end, between you and me, only kindness remains
"I don't want to owe it to the end, between you and me, there is only kindness left."
The setting sun was red, the afterglow was all over the sky, and the sunset glow spread across the sky like a tide. Zhao Pan'er's heart, which had been hanging for a day, became less anxious with the soothing steps.
Walking along the river that was dyed crimson by the rays of the sun, she walked towards the small courtyard of Osmanthus Lane. Although she wanted to take care of Gu Qianfan herself, Chen Lian refused her request to accompany her and told her that due to the too many involvements in the hat demon case, in order to prevent accidents, However, the Imperial City Si Lei Company did not allow Gu Qianfan to return to his private residence, but set up a clean room in the Imperial City Sinan Yadan to recuperate.
Anyway, Gu Qianfan's health is no longer serious, Zhao Pan'er is already satisfied after confirming this.
Back at Chen Lian's private house, as soon as Zhao Pan'er entered the courtyard, she found that the atmosphere in the courtyard was a bit strange. Sun Sanniang and Ge Zhaodi, who were sitting at the stone table in the courtyard waiting for her to come back, looked at each other with a guilty conscience, as if they had caused a catastrophe .
Zhao Paner glanced at the two of them strangely, then glanced around, and said casually, "Where's the introduction? Have you returned to the Jiaofang?"
"Sister Yinzhang was very angry when she found out about you and Deputy Envoy Gu, and left regardless." Ge Zhaodi explained to Sun Sanniang before her.
Thing is this matter.
After hearing what Ge Zhaodi said, Sun Sanniang always felt that something was wrong, and subconsciously looked at Ge Zhaodi.
Ge Zhaodi noticed the glance from the side, looked back at Sun Sanniang, and pouted, "Just now I asked the staff of Tongfu Teahouse to deliver a letter, and even took away the pipa that was left here."
"How come?" Zhao Paner asked in surprise.
Ge Zhaodi thought that Zhao Paner was asking Song Yinzhang why he entrusted someone to deliver the letter, and he didn't want to come to pick up the pipa in person, so she pretended to be careless and replied: "I definitely don't plan to come back~"
"Call Di!" Sun Sanniang frowned and reprimanded in a low voice, and handed the collected letterhead to Zhao Pan'er.
"Sister Sanniang, what did I say wrong?" Ge Zhaodi stubbornly raised her chin, and said with a face of dissatisfaction, "I am complaining for Sister Pan'er! Zhao Pan'er and Gu Qianfan are together, why is Sister Pan'er so angry? It must be because she is jealous of Sister Pan'er, so I hurried to find Mr. Zhou."
Although Song Yinzhang has a little temper on weekdays, he is kind-hearted by nature. He treats Zhao Paner and Sun Sanniang as sisters, and no one is allowed to speak ill of good sisters.
However, Song Yinzhang that Ge Zhaodi said was a jealous, vain, and ungrateful villain. After a whole day of malicious speculation, Sun Sanniang gradually accumulated dissatisfaction with Song Yinzhang. Ju really doesn't care about sisterhood.
Sun Sanniang was stunned, silent for a moment, and retorted, "Yinzhang is definitely not such a person."
She said it was an explanation, but her tone was slightly shaken, as if she didn't even believe it.
"Sometimes come and go, she chooses her own path, so let her go on her own." Zhao Pan'er didn't say anything wrong with Song Yinzhang, nor did she pursue Ge Zhaodi, a small employee, for telling the other two owners about the big owner of the tea house. Song Yinzhang is not responsible.
The original three sisters have always centered on her, and the remaining two sisters have no opinions on weekdays, and they have always revolved around her.
Now that Yinzhang is leaving, and Ge Zhaodi wants to replace Yinzhang's position in the sister circle, then let her do it.
"Everyone has been sisters for so long, maybe Yinzhang was just sulking for a while, and he will come back when he figured it out tomorrow." Sun Sanniang comforted Zhao Paner a few words, and then asked: "By the way, what happened to Gu Qianfan? Already? Can you tell me?"
"So, you don't plan to play half-masked music tomorrow?"
Tongfu Tea House, stage.
Zhou Ji leaned against the dark pillar behind the curtain, watched Song Yinzhang adjust a musician's pipa, and said casually.
Song Yinzhang tried the sound test, returned the pipa to the other party, bowed his head in return, turned to look at Zhou Ji and said: "No, I won't go again for the next few days."
As the saying goes, there are three women in one play, and just arranging appearances is a big problem, not to mention that Song Yinzhang is still a foursome of plastic sisters.
One person is engaged, and together with the other two, they hide the truth from the other person. The key is that this person is the one she has known the longest.
This kind of behavior is afraid that no matter whether it is a male dormitory or a female dormitory, it will explode, right?
Zhou Ji shook his head, looked at Song Yinzhang with a trace of pity, pretended to be relaxed and smiled, and said frivolously: "But it's fine to go, just to spare the time of playing music before, and move to the troupe to arrange music. Overtime pay~"
Song Yinzhang said in amazement: "But... I don't plan to come to the troupe either?"
"Huh?" Zhou Ji looked at Song Yinzhang pretending to be disappointed.
Song Yinzhang averted his eyes in embarrassment, and said softly: "I still have a lot of spare time in the soundtrack and arrangement I composed before, and it is enough for the troupe to have Ms. Si Teng."
Seeing that Song Yinzhang was not joking, Zhou Ji asked curiously, "Miss Yinzhang, what happened recently?"
Song Yinzhang looked up at Zhou Ji anxiously, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said courageously: "Shen Ruzhuo's entanglements with him a few times were all using the matter of leaving his nationality as a bait. It is not easy for official prostitutes to leave their nationality. Knowing that he might be fooling me, but it's about whether he can get out of the humble family and restore his status as a good family, I... I still want to find out with him to see if he really has connections."
Zhou Ji sighed softly, hesitant to speak.
Obviously only one sentence is needed, whether it is Si Teng, Hong Kui, or Zhou Ji himself.
As long as Song Yinzhang opens his mouth, they will definitely help her get out of citizenship.
However, this seemingly weak and cowardly little girl is so stubborn and strong in nature.
Being indebted to others, more or less, subconsciously will eventually feel inferior.
What Song Yinzhang wants is to interact with them on an equal footing, not shamelessly accepting help repeatedly, taking it for granted.
"I don't want to owe it to the end, between you and me, there is only kindness left."
Really a silly girl.
Song Yinzhang thought for a while, then hesitated and said: "Sister Hao Hao said that Shen Ruzhuo will never let it go when she is on her target. I want to have a big fight with the young master, making Shen Ruzhuo mistakenly think that I followed the young master because the young master can help me escape. Then I found out that the young master was actually lying to me, so I fell out with the young master and gave him a chance to 'sneak in' to find out if the door he said was true."
When he said 'I followed the son', Song Yinzhang's face turned slightly red, and Zhou Ji's expression became more and more strange after hearing Song Yinzhang's general plan.
"You also came up with this after reading the play?"
"That's right~" Song Yinzhang nodded his head as a matter of course, and replied: "The general situation is like this, and the specific details need to be deliberated before the flaws can be revealed."
Good guy. I've read too many dramas, and the little white rabbit has become a playwright?
"Why do you look at me like this, son?" Song Yinzhang noticed the change in Zhou Ji's eyes, his heart trembled suddenly, most of the blood on his face faded, and he explained a little uneasy: "My son, although Yinzhang's greatest wish has always been to get rid of the cheap However, it will never be like Qiantang again. In order to get out of the country and commit to others, Ms. Si Teng once said "self-love", and the quotation will be kept in her heart. This calculation is to find out the way Shen Ruzhuo said to get out of the country, and the other is to Try to get rid of this man and not be bothered by him."
"Miss Yinzhang misunderstood, I didn't mean to belittle the girl, but I was a little curious that the girl read those dramas"
Go back and put it away, so that Si Teng won't see it.
Zhou Ji said the first half of the sentence with a smile, and muttered the second half in his heart.
Song Yinzhang would never put his careful thoughts on the people around him. Hearing Zhou Ji's explanation, a tinge of blood finally returned to his pale face. I got the rest from Miss Si Teng, if you want to see it, I will get it for you tomorrow."
"Siteng."
Zhou Ji's mouth twitched, and he helped his forehead helplessly: "Then it's fine."
"Huh?" Song Yinzhang tilted his head curiously, and suddenly said: "That's right, the young master wants to see Miss Si Teng's place, I'm too busy."
"." Zhou Ji opened his mouth, but it was hard to explain, and he asked instead: "But the half-masking business is supported by your reputation, it's okay for a day or two, if you don't show up for a few days in a row, I'm afraid the business at the teahouse is not easy to do, right?"
"This..." Although Song Yinzhang was wronged and lost in every way, he still cared about her two sisters.
If her pipa is missing, even if Chi Ya Nei has promised an ice shop to provide ice, not many people are willing to pay several times the price to come to Ma Xing Street for tea.
And at this time half-hidden.
Zhao Pan'er gave a general account of what happened on the boat, and looked at the two apologetically: "Gu Qianfan was seriously injured, but fortunately, his life is not in danger. I'm just sorry for everyone, the tea house may still have to rest these days .”
"There's nothing to be sorry about, the hat monster case is such a big deal, we'd better be careful! We can stay in Tokyo and open a tea house, Gu Qianfan has contributed a lot, since we have all the benefits, we have to bear the disadvantages .”
Sun Sanniang walked up to Zhao Pan'er and sat down, comforting her, "But the teahouse doesn't need to close down. Yinzhang brought some ice cubes back yesterday, and I put them in the cellar and wrapped them in straw mats. Although there are not many, they are enough for two Day. Anyway, I don’t know when Yinzhang will come back to play the pipa, so we simply open the door every morning, one is to cool off, and two, we can give the old customers an explanation.”
When Song Yinzhang left, before he had time to tell them about the lifting of the prohibition order in Chi Ya Nei, Zhao Pan'er only thought that she had borrowed the ice cubes from Tongfu Tea House, nodded slightly and said, "That's fine, I happen to be able to go to other places. Take a look at a few restaurants."
Zhao Pan'er said this, Zhengyan said: "By the way, I also want to ask you seriously, are you really willing to change the teahouse into a restaurant?"
"Yes!" Ge Zhaodi's eyes lit up, and she spoke first impatiently.
There is actually no difference between restaurants, casinos, and brothels to her.
The important thing is that Zhao Paner once again ignored Song Yinzhang's opinion, and as a waiter, she was able to participate in such an important decision, which already meant that she had truly replaced Song Yinzhang's position in the sister group and became a core member.
Zhao Pan'er nodded and said: "Then let's try, build a new world, and try a new trick."
"Okay!" Ge Zhaodi smiled and nodded vigorously.
With a bright vision, Zhao Paner, Sun Sanniang and Ge Zhaodi all regained their energy.
However, in the next few days, although they only opened for a while in the morning, the business situation of the tea house was still worse than Zhao Paner expected.
Zhao Pan'er had long thought that without Song Yinzhang's pipa, the tea house would definitely lose a lot of customers, so he halved the prices of various fruit teas, but even if the original price of tea fruit was halved, it was much more expensive than other tea houses.
In addition, "half-covered face" is a pipa language around "still holding a pipa and half-covered face", and the number of guests in the tea house is decreasing.
Gradually, even Yuan Tuntian and some regular customers are reluctant to come again.
Sun Sanniang was worried about the business of the tea house all day long, but Zhao Pan'er and Ge Zhaodi were not too anxious.
Ge Zhaodi already knew that Gu Qianfan was the deputy envoy of the Imperial City Department, a fifth-rank Jinshi, and his status was second only to the company's company. As long as he was there, the losses of the tea house would be nothing.
And Zhao Paner's thoughts are all on the restaurant that is about to open. I met Gu Qianfan a few days ago and heard him say that he would pay for himself, so the restaurants that Zhao Paner found were bigger than the other, and the price was naturally the same. A rising tide lifts all boats.
The place with 500 guan is too small, and the place with 800 guan is too far away. After choosing and choosing, I finally settled on Wangyuelou, which is across the river from Tongfu Tea House, and the rent directly increased to 1,800 guan.
Standing on the bank of the Bianhe River, Zhao Paner looked up at the Tongfu Teahouse on the opposite bank in the distance, with a long-lost confidence and composure flashing in his eyes.
She and Gu Qianfan have already made a private decision for life, and they have met Xiao Xiang. Gu Qianfan has repeatedly emphasized that he will marry her. Only on the day of marriage, she will be able to become the wife of Jinshi, and realize the dream of all these years.
As for Si Teng, once upon a time, she would be stabbed by the other party's self-confidence from the bottom of her bones to her distorted and morbid self-esteem, but now, she is about to become the wife of a Jinshi, and the other party is still the owner of the teahouse.
The half-hidden business, even at the best time, was less than one-tenth of that of Tongfu Tea House, but Zhao Pan'er showed a condescending faint smile, turned and walked towards Chen Lian's private house in Osmanthus Lane.
Back to Chen Lian's private residence, Ge Zhaodi was still washing clothes in the courtyard, Zhao Pan'er passed by the corridor, and found Sun Sanniang to talk about the rent of the restaurant.
Liquor shops in the capital have regulations, saying that women are not allowed to operate restaurants, but the owner of Mochizuki Tower is eager to sell the shop if they sell half of the restaurant to them.
The original west building was still a main shop that could make wine; the east building, which was only used as a private room, opened a foot shop for them, which could avoid the regulation of the guild, and the original rent of 1,800 guan could also be reduced.
("Song Yinzhang Kills Shen Ruzhuo in the Rainy Night" belongs to the highlight of this character, and it is also the most important plot. Such a famous scene, we must try our best to complete it, which is also the main reason for "letting go" of Shen Ruzhuo in the previous chapter .)
