After leaving from Du Changfeng, Zhao Pan'er found countless reasons to convince herself along the way.
Waiting until the plaque of the Chi Mansion came into view, Zhao Pan'er walked up the steps with difficulty, and mustered up the courage to knock on the closed door.
The concierge answered, poked his head out from the side door, looked at Zhao Pan'er, looked at her face and asked her why she came.
"Trouble my little brother to help report to Chi Ya Nei, saying that Mrs. Zhao, who is half-hidden, has something important to discuss, and ask Chi Ya Nei to see her."
"You are Mrs. Zhao?" Although the concierge had never met Zhao Pan'er, but he had heard of the name for a long time, and knew that his yamen did not want to see her, his attitude suddenly became indifferent, and he replied impatiently that Chi yamen was not in the house, so he closed the door.
Du Changfeng sold the house to help her raise the three hundred coins, and the remaining three hundred coins Zhao Pan'er really didn't want to ask Zhou Ji and Si Teng. Right now, Chi Ya Nei is her only hope, and Zhao Pan'er can't hold back her arrogance. , finally showing anxiety, although there is a full three hundred guan in the fund gap, but still took out a few large coins and quietly handed them over: "Then He Si is in the house, can you ask him to come out, I have a few words to ask him."
"Wait!"
For the sake of the copper coins, the porter slammed the side door and went to the front yard to call He Si. He Si was a bit surprised to see Zhao Pan'er coming to the door. Before he could speak, Zhao Pan'er hurriedly asked Chi Yanei where he was .
He Si replied subconsciously, "Ya Nei and his friends will go to Liyuan in the outskirts of the city to learn cuju whenever they have free time these few days. They just left this morning, and they probably won't come back until the afternoon to cool off."
After finishing speaking, Zhao Paner thanked her and rushed to the carriage on the side of the road with her skirt in hand. He Si was confused and raised her hand to stop Zhao Paner and ask her what happened, but Zhao Paner had already got into the carriage. Urge the coachman to rush to Liyuan on the outskirts of the city as soon as possible.
On the other side of the pear garden, Zhou Ji was sitting at the seat under the eaves of the courtyard, eating snacks and drinking tea. From time to time, he would pick up a scattered grain of wheat and pop it out with his fingers, correcting the wrong actions of Chi Yanei and Zhao Yanei.
Do not teach inner family skills, but only teach the most superficial techniques of self-indulgence and self-indulgence. Just like this, they have benefited a lot.
Hearing that Zhao Paner came to Liyuan to ask to see Chi Yanei, Zhou Ji glanced at Chi Yanei curiously, Chi Yanei was full of joy, and walked around excitedly: "Finally, this day has come, haha, Zhao Paner is finally coming to beg me, Hahaha, I finally got my chance!"
Zhao Yanei had heard a lot of complaints from Chi Yanei, knew the entanglement between the two, and said curiously: "Since she found this place, she must have gone to Chi's mansion to waste nothing, and she wanted to see you after all the trouble, and I don't know what it is? "
"What else is there? I must be in trouble~" While Chi Yanei was excited, Chi Yanei suddenly remembered something, smiled, looked at Zhou Ji hesitantly and said: "Master, you said before that you won't help She started."
"Okay, I'm not interested in the entanglement between you. It's getting late, and the theater troupe should rush to the restaurant to prepare for tonight's performance." Zhou Ji laughed dumbly, looked up at the sky, waved his hand and said: Remember to practice the agility that I handed over to you every day, and you won’t have to come to Liyuan again in the future.”
Zhou Ji put down the teacup as he said, signaling to the troupe to leave. Zhao Yanei wanted to stay and join in the fun, but Zhou Ji called him away.
When the group went out, they just had a face-to-face meeting with Zhao Paner. Although Zhao Paner tried her best to pretend, Zhou Ji could still see the gloomy cloud in her brow, so she asked her what trouble she was in.
Zhao Pan'er avoided talking about it, forced a smile, and only said that he had something urgent to find Chi Yanei.
As the Liyuan gradually fell into a long period of silence, Zhao Pan'er came to a waterside pavilion in the vestibule, and saw from a distance that Chi Ya Nei moved a grand teacher's chair, changed several sitting positions, and finally chose an invincible posture, waiting her arrival.
"Tsk tsk tsk~Zhao Pan'er, I heard that you even mortgaged the tea house where you lived and lived in order to collect money. You have come all the way to find this yamen, what advice do you have?"
The situation was compelling, Zhao Pan'er did not let go of her posture at all, stood up straight, raised her swan neck, and reluctantly said: "In the past, I have offended you a lot, but it is better to solve an enemy than tie it. In terms of friendship, give us a little grace."
In view of Song Yinzhang's face, Chi Yanei originally didn't intend to make things difficult for Zhao Pan'er, but when she saw that she was submissive and did not have a submissive attitude, she straightened her back and looked helpless, and her stubborn temper suddenly appeared, "Friendship? I don't want to I remember what kind of friendship I have with you, the last time I kindly canceled the ice ban, and asked Song Yinzhang to bring back a cart of ice as compensation, you turned around and sent an old lady to the door to provoke, now you have nowhere to go, do you know you have admitted your mistake?"
Zhao Pan'er stared straight into the distance with a blank expression, completely ignoring Chi Yanei, and didn't even look at him.
How can this be the attitude of visiting the door to seek peace?
Chi Yanei didn't get Zhao Pan'er's response for a long time, raised his eyes and glanced at her, sneered and said: "Why are you wronged? If you want to be wronged, it should be because of my wronged, if it wasn't for you to be unforgiving and ask the old lady to come and play Lao Tzu, how could Lao Tzu issue an eleven-line ban?
You are short of money, why don't you ask Gu Qianfan for it? Isn't he rich? Isn't he an official? Why do you still ask me? "
When Chi Yanei mentioned Gu Qianfan, Zhao Pan'er was finally moved, his original stubborn and arrogant expression gradually broke down, Chi Yanei let out a long "Oh~~~" and suddenly said: "I understand, he kicked you! "
Zhao Pan'er's eyes were slightly red, she pursed her lips tightly, and gave Chi Yanei a hard look.
Looking at the situation, Chi Ya Nei knew that he was probably right, curled his lips, and continued: "Why, you still don't want to admit it, do you? Are you still looking for reasons for him? Hahahaha, man, It's all like this. I really like you if I like you, but once you get bored or have trouble, you'll disappear in a blink of an eye."
Eyes can't kill people, but words can be like knives, piercing into Zhao Pan'er's heart.
"Qian Fan is not that kind of person." Zhao Pan'er was a little shaken when she said this.
Seeing her like this, Chi Yanei said angrily: "Aren't you always very smart? Why are you still lying to yourself now? Lao Tzu and Gu Qianfan are at odds with each other. He always hates you in his heart." I still have a little sympathy, would I let you come and beg me? You are like those bullies who don't believe that the lady turns her face and refuses to recognize anyone outside the Goulan!"
Zhao Pan'er's face suddenly became ugly.
Borrowing money raised his chin as if asking for a debt, and said in a blunt tone: "Then please let the yamen look at me for being so wronged, and lend me another three hundred guan silver."
Borrowing money should look like borrowing money.
Chi Ya Nei was originally a dude, and he took the soft but not the hard, the more arrogant Zhao Pan'er was, the stronger his rebellious psychology.
"Yes." Chi Yanei turned around with a face full of displeasure, went back to sit beside the grand teacher's chair, and said casually, "Kneel down and kowtow three times, please!"
As soon as the words fell, before Chi Yanei walked back to the chair, there was a soft bang~ behind him, and Zhao Pan'er twitched the corners of her mouth full of grievances, holding back the grief and anger in her heart, and lifted the corner of her skirt without saying a word He knelt down, leaned over and kowtowed three times.
Chi Ya Nei was waiting to be seated, and turned around in surprise when he heard the movement behind him. He was just talking casually, but he never thought that Zhao Pan'er would really kneel down and kowtow.
what is this? Self-sacrifice? Impressed? Or an excess of self-awareness?
Unknown anger erupted in his heart, Chi Yanei laughed back in anger, turned his back and said coldly: "It's too perfunctory, not sincere enough!"
"Then what else does the yamen want?"
Zhao Pan'er smashed the pot and smashed it, completely assuming that I will respond to any move you make, and said expressionlessly.
"Didn't you work as a kabuki before? Then sing "Longing for My Husband" for me? As long as you sing, I'll lend it to you." Chi Yanei also said with a cold face.
""Wanting My Husband"?" Zhao Pan'er showed a mocking smile, and said disdainfully, "Don't you just want to see how I miss men? I don't know how to sing this song, how about changing it to a soft dance?"
"Brothel soft dance?"
Chi Ya Nei waved his hands in a dispirited manner, and signaled: "All right, as long as you dance, I will lend you money."
"Have you ever courted a man for money?"
"Those who work in Israel are called cheap."
Seeing Shen Ruzhuo leave, Zhang Haohao finally found a chance to talk to Song Yinzhang for a while, Zhang Haohao repeatedly reminded Song Yinzhang to be more careful tomorrow, but Song Yinzhang calmly avoided the topic and talked with her about the experience of meeting her for the first time.
In the past few months, Zhang Haohao experienced ups and downs, and was reunited with Chi Yanei again, and his state of mind is very different from before.
If it wasn't for Song Yinzhang's help, the two could tell each other their hearts and avoid breaking up because of a moment of anger. At this time, she might have "resigned to her fate" and would no longer refuse officials to redeem her. A 'Ru Ma'am' is fine.
As for being able to love each other for a few years, whether she will be abandoned on the street in the future. It all depends on her fate.
"It's all just a joke, why is my sister still making fun of my sister with this~" Zhang Haohao couldn't help but give her a blank look when Song Yinzhang pulled the topic away.
Song Yinzhang quickly apologized, but Zhang Haohao was not really angry. The two chatted and laughed. Seeing that it was getting late, the luthier and dancers in the teaching workshop slowly started to get busy. In order to avoid being seen by others, they quietly separated. Still an illusion of mutual estrangement.
Zhou Ji on the other side, after leaving the Liyuan, did not leave his spiritual thoughts to eavesdrop on the conversation between Chi Yanei and Zhao Pan'er, sent Zhao Yanei to Zhongjie Avenue, and then left gracefully until the sky was completely dark, and the teahouse opera troupe began to babble and sing. Only then did I see Chi Yanei walking from outside with an ugly expression on his face.
"What's going on? Didn't you catch the opportunity to vent your anger? Why do you look more angry than before?"
Zhou Ji glanced at Chi Yanei, who was looking angry, and asked casually.
"You don't know! That Zhao Pan'er she...she." Chi Yanei sat angrily in the seat next to him, feeling bored, but didn't know how to speak.
Called the clerk to order a cup of herbal tea, Chi Yanei drank it all in one gulp, let out a long sigh, and told Zhou Ji what happened just now, suppressing the unknown anger in his heart.
Zhou Ji frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "It's a bit too much."
"I didn't expect that she would really kneel down and kowtow!" Chi Yanei said weakly, "I'm really convinced by that little lady. I borrow money as soon as I borrow it. It's as shameless as I owe her money. A soft word won't hurt her." Said, I am still very wronged."
"You didn't molested her, did you?" Zhou Ji raised his eyebrows.
"No~ how dare I do that?" Chi Yanei patted his chest and said, "Old, I'm still very principled. Now that we've made up, I won't touch her friends."
"Speaking of which, Miss Pan'er is also true. Why doesn't she try to find a good girl when she is short of money?" Zhou Ji shook her head and said helplessly, "Since she has agreed to absorb Ge Zhaodi's 30-year investment, why not go for it?" Looking for a good girl?"
Zhao Pan'er used Zhang Haohao's contacts to attract customers half-hiddenly. The two have similar interests. With her words, she can completely absorb Zhang Haohao's financing.
In addition, since the birthday banquet of the Xiao Mansion, Zhang Haohao’s popularity has declined because of Ke Xianggong’s evaluation of “not mediocre”. As he gets older, it is a good choice to raise money to start a restaurant business.
One, they can maintain their popularity with the help of restaurant customers, so that there is no possibility of a comeback;
Chi Yanei didn't understand the meaning of Zhou Ji's words, and thought she was asking her why she didn't blow the pillow wind through Zhang Haohao, and said with a strange expression: "When she was looking for ice everywhere, did she look for it? Before we got married, Mrs. Song had a falling out with her and failed to tell her the news that I got married well, so she always thought that we broke up, and probably thought it was useless to find a good one, so she came to me directly. "
Uh. They haven't noticed anything strange after so long?
Zhou Ji was taken aback for a moment, but also a little stunned.
Without Song Yinzhang, there are fewer and fewer half-hidden customers. Zhao Paner has moved the business to open in the early morning, and only opens for a short time every day. This not only avoids the huge expense of looking for ice everywhere, but also gathers customers together to receive them, saving money. The cost of tea fruit.
I don’t need ice cubes anymore, so naturally I don’t know the news about the lifting of the ban on ice shops.
It is precisely for this reason that Zhao Pan'er lured Ge's mother to Chi's mansion to retaliate against Chi Yanei.
Chi Yanei regarded it as a provocation, and restricted businesses other than the ice shop from doing business with Zhao Pan'er.
A butterfly effect, misunderstanding and misunderstanding superimposed, as if a big circle was invisible, and today's result was caused by erroneous mistakes.
Zhou Ji sighed softly, looked at Chi Yanei and said, "Anyway, there is some misunderstanding between the two of you in the final analysis, you let her kneel down and let her sing and dance, after all, it's a little too much. "
"I see, at worst, I'll pay her three kowtows." Chi Ya Nei was a rich man, but he was not an unreasonable person.
