Chapter 371 Poaching
Before the Marquis of Changchun finished listening, his complexion changed, and he stared at his daughter in exasperation: "Why are you going to a wine shop?"
What is the price of a wine shop, if he doesn't know?
Just go, why not check out!
Xu Fang lowered her head slightly: "My daughter has accompanied her cousin to eat a few times, and she thought the taste was good, so she went again..."
Changchun Hou Yizhi.
The aunt Xu Fang mentioned was none other than Mrs. Ning Guogong.
It can be said that he has a lot of patience with this daughter because she has such a backer behind her.
Looking at his daughter with downcast eyes, Marquis Changchun suddenly thought of many years ago.
Though those doubts and hidden worries dissipated little by little as time went by, it finally made it difficult for him to develop much father-daughter affection for this daughter.
"How much do you owe for drinking? Is the money enough?" Marquis Changchun asked holding back his annoyance.
Lost 10,000 taels of silver for nothing, the Hou Mansion is already stretched for this year, this girl is adding to the chaos!
Xu Fang lowered her eyes and remained silent.
The Marquis of Changchun sighed: "Forget it, go and pay fifty taels of silver. Be sure to pay back the money for the wine today."
Fifty taels of silver are nothing compared to provoking Miss Luo's magic star.
"Thank you, father." The corners of Xu Fang's lips twitched slightly.
"Okay, let's go down." Changchun Hou looked upset and waved his hand.
Xu Fang exited the study, letting out a foul breath.
After the snow, everything is covered with silver, and even a dead grass looks moving.
Xu Fang smiled and walked away step by step.
After lunch, Xu Fang took her maid Hongyue Shi Shiran out the door.
"Girl, be careful the road is slippery."
Wrapped in silver everywhere outside, the quaint and vicissitudes of the bluestone road is completely covered with snow, but there are many people coming and going. Many children piled up snowmen of different shapes by the roadside, chasing snowball fights.
Xu Fang rushed to Youjian Restaurant with one foot deep and one shallow foot.
"Miss Xu is looking for our boss?" The female shopkeeper smiled kindly at Xu Fang, "Our boss came to the restaurant and then went out. It may take a while to come back."
"It's okay, I'll wait."
"Then Miss Xu, please sit in the lobby."
Xu Fang walked into the lobby, looked around, and couldn't help asking the female shopkeeper: "I heard that Miss Luo redeemed Xu Qi from the small barn. I wonder if the shopkeeper can tell where Xu Qi is now?"
The female shopkeeper secretly thought that Miss Xu could speak.
Listen, don't talk about the boss buying people, but talking about redeeming people, it shows how kind and kind their boss is.
The Dong family once explained that if Miss Xu or Second Young Master Lin came to see her younger brother, there was no need to stop her.
The female shopkeeper smiled and said, "Mr. Xu should be working in the backyard at this moment."
"Do something?" Xu Fang muttered these two words, feeling very complicated.
She never thought that her younger brother would have a day of serious work.
Before Xu Fang made a request, the female shopkeeper said cheerfully: "If Miss Xu wants to see Mr. Xu, just come with me."
Xu Fang bowed slightly: "Thank you shopkeeper."
The female shopkeeper hurriedly avoided: "I dare not be that."
The two walked towards the door leading to the backyard, one behind the other.
The doorway is blocked by a thick cotton curtain. When the curtain is opened, the cold wind blows in your face.
Xu Fang stood there, her eyes fixed on the corner of the wall.
There was a dull chopping sound, and the boy was struggling to chop wood with an ax in his hand.
Sawdust fell all over the ground, and a small pile of firewood was not so neatly piled not far away.
Besides, there was a burly man with a full face, who was staring at the young man who was chopping firewood.
Xu Fang remained motionless, staring intently.
The female shopkeeper Zhiqu stepped aside.
After an unknown amount of time, Xu Fang opened the cotton curtain and went back to the lobby silently.
Xu Fang smiled at the female shopkeeper: "No need, I'll just wait here for Miss Luo to come back."
At this time, Luo Sheng was in Qianjinfang.
There was a lot of shouting in Qianjinfang, and it was the time when the bustle began in the afternoon.
Luo Sheng was dressed in men's clothing, and he didn't dress up specially. As long as he paid a little attention, he could tell that this was a girl.
But the gambling shop is different from other places. They are all people who are jealous of gambling, and not many people really pay attention to her.
This is also the purpose of Luo Sheng's men's clothing, at least not to attract attention as soon as he enters.
As for being recognized as a woman, it doesn't matter, Miss Luo can even visit a small hotel, wouldn't it give them face to visit a gambling house?
In fact, she was recognized when she came, and people from the gambling house were with her from the beginning to the end, acting cautiously.
But after she played a few times casually, losing hundreds of taels of silver without blinking or turning her face, that cautiousness turned into glowing eyes.
"What is Miss Luo most interested in? I can introduce you to the younger ones."
"I haven't played anything before, so I'll go shopping first." Luo Sheng said perfunctorily, looking around with a bit of curiosity.
She was looking for the person she had caught a glimpse of yesterday.
Of course, it depends on luck. If that person is a gambler, he may not come today.
Suddenly there was a commotion, and the people at a gambling table broke out.
Luo Sheng looked over, his eyes narrowed.
A man in a long coat in his thirties walked quickly to the table and began to settle the dispute.
That's the guy!
Luo Sheng heaved a sigh of relief, feeling a little lucky.
"Why are there often troubles here?"
The accompanying person explained with a smile: "Our place is no different than other places, troubles are too common."
"Is that guy in the blue shirt from the casino? He looks like he can handle trouble."
"Yes, that's our Manager Zhu."
"Call him."
The accompanying person was stunned.
Hong Dou glared at him: "I'm in a daze without listening to our girl."
The accompanying person secretly smiled wryly.
It's not that he wants to be in a daze, it's that Miss Luo's behavior is too unexpected.
However, you can only follow suit.
The accompanying person hurried over and whispered a few words in the man's ear.
The man looked over, hesitated for a moment, then strode over.
"Meet Miss Luo." The man who walked up to him bowed his hands and saluted.
"Isn't Guan Shi Zhu?"
"Exactly."
Luo Sheng bent his lips and smiled: "I see that you are a talent, and my restaurant is short of such a person. I wonder if you would like to work in my restaurant?"
The man froze for a moment.
The accompanying person also rolled his eyes.
Why are there still people poaching people directly? Guanshi Zhu is the sworn brother of their boss.
After a brief silence, the man bowed his hands to Luo Sheng: "Thank you, Miss Luo, for your love, but the owner of Qianjinfang is kind to the villain, and it's not good for the villain to choose another high branch. I can only be ashamed of Miss Luo's kindness."
"That's it, then I won't force it. Manager Zhu can go to work on his own." Luo Sheng's tone was light, as if he had lost interest.
The man breathed a sigh of relief, turned and left.
Luo Sheng stayed for a while, and left Qianjinfang with Hongdou.
Xu Fang was waiting in the lobby of the wine shop, her face remained calm, and she had already drank two cups of tea.
She has enough time to wait today, but what will happen after telling Miss Luo is unpredictable.
In this world, the most unpredictable thing is the human heart.
At this time, a girl in a blue cloak came in from the outside.
