Me and my Jianghu Tavern

There is a bowl of clear water cabbage and some rice on the table.

"Shopkeeper, I ate it at home." Lei Hu said.

"Well, if you have nothing to do, just sweep the floor. There are almost no people in the morning."

"Yes."

Lei Hu picked up the broom behind the door and started sweeping from the inside to the outside. He didn't say a word during this period, and kept his head down to sweep the floor.

Zhang Ming saw that although Lei Huzhang was strong, his face was a little thin. A person like him was definitely not sick, maybe he was hungry.

Zhang Ming wanted to ask him if he had eaten, but he replied that he had, probably because Lei Hu was embarrassed.

"Stop scanning, come and sit down," Zhang Ming said.

Lei Hu, who was sweeping the floor, nodded, put the broom aside, and sat down obediently.

"What did you have for breakfast?" Zhang Ming asked.

Lei Hu was slightly taken aback, not knowing how to answer, but he really didn't eat anything.

He wanted to lie about the noodles he ate, but he didn't say it, and was shut up by Zhang Ming's words.

Zhang Ming looked up at him and asked, "Tell me, why did you say you ate it?"

Lei Hu was a little at a loss, he opened his mouth and seemed a little nervous.

"Boss, I..." Lei Hu couldn't continue, he didn't know what to say.

"If you don't eat, you don't eat. You look thin, and you are completely hungry. Being a waiter in a tavern will naturally give you a meal. There is nothing embarrassing about it." Zhang Ming said calmly.

"Yes, yes..." Lei Hu lowered his head.

"What if you don't have money to eat? If you don't tell me, then don't be the second child." Zhang Ming raised his head and said.

Lei Hu clenched his fists, he needs a job, and he must not lose the job of Xiao Er, "The shopkeeper... the shopkeeper should know that I used to be a blacksmith, and the master of the blacksmith shop is very kind to me, even if I am not working in the blacksmith shop now Yes, I will go to help earlier."

"Well, let's continue." Zhang Ming said.

Lei Hu lowered his head and said in a soft voice: "However, the business of the blacksmith shop is getting worse and worse this year. The master doesn't have much money anymore. Even eating has become a problem. The master insists on keeping me for breakfast, so I have to lie Tell him to lie to him and say he ate it."

"Then I asked you if you had eaten just now, why did you say you did?" Zhang Ming picked out the cabbage in the bowl, picked out a leaf and put it into the bowl.

"The shopkeeper gave me a way to survive, I... don't want to trouble the shopkeeper anymore." Lei Hu lowered his head deeply, and clenched his hands under the table even more tightly.

He lost the vigor of the past, he was not afraid of anything back then, and no one was as fierce as him on the battlefield, but now he bowed his head everywhere for his livelihood.

Seeing that Lei Hu's chin was almost touching his chest, Zhang Ming put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "Look up."

Lei Hu raised his head upon hearing this, and saw Zhang Ming's serious expression.

Zhang Ming got up, walked to the counter, and took out two taels of silver from it, which was the monthly salary agreed before.

"I'll give you this month's wages first. If you don't have a meal, come to the tavern to eat early. There is no shortage of this pair of chopsticks." Zhang Ming said word by word.

"Also." Zhang Ming paused, and said to Lei Hu: "I heard from Gu Qingshan that you were a confident person before, remember to get back your previous confidence."

Lei Hu looked at the two taels of silver on the table.

stunned for a long time.

……

……

The handsome guy came to ask for recommendation again!

love you~

Chapter 131: What does it have to do with you and me?

"Half Daozi, are you short of money?"

"No, I just want to redeem my jade pendant with 40 taels."

"Jade pendant? Is it important?"

"Ah, yes, it was left to me by my mother."

"Oh."

"Ask these for what?"

"No, curious."

Meng Buyan was lying on the 'bed' made of weeds, it was already dawn outside, but he didn't want to get up.

Being able to stay here is a luxury for him.

……

"It's going to rain."

On Chunyang Lake, Boatman Zhan glanced at the sky. If there is nothing wrong, there should be light rain after a while, and there is probably no business today.

Parked the boat aside and tied it, and the boatman Zhan was not afraid of losing it.

He picked up the coir raincoat on the boat and walked out of the city.

Since there is no business, let's go to the tavern.

It started to rain at noon, and the weather in the south of the Yangtze River was changeable, and such things were taken for granted.

In a blink of an eye, autumn is almost here, and the leaves on the trees beside the official road are beginning to turn yellow, and will begin to fall after autumn.

"Crash..."

Zhang Ming in front of the counter listened to the sound of rain outside, while Lei Hu stood aside, staring at the door of the tavern dully, waiting for today's drinkers to arrive.

Zhang Ming raised his head and pondered in his heart, "It's raining again."

"Meow." Xiao Qi echoed.

"Coo coo." Seeing Xiao Qi yell, Gray Rabbit yelled too.

Zhang Ming smiled slightly, it was a blessing that no matter what he said, he would respond.

Although he couldn't understand what Xiaoqi and Rabbit were talking about, it would be nice to have a response.

Lei Hu still looked like that, standing there like a log, not interested in everything around him.

"Tread, step, step."

There was the sound of treading water outside the door, and the old man Zhan, who was wearing a coir raincoat, walked into the tavern and took off the cloak on his head.

"It's raining harder and harder." Boatman Zhan patted the water stains on his body and walked into the tavern.

Zhang Ming looked up at Boatman Zhan, and said calmly, "Old man, you came at a bad time today, and there is no one around."

"Is there no one?" Boatman Zhan looked into the tavern. Sure enough, there was no one drinking. Boatman Zhan smiled and said to Zhang Ming: "It's nothing, it's the same as drinking with the shopkeeper."

Boatman Zhan invited Zhang Ming to sit down.

Boatman Zhan took out a gourd from his waist, which contained half a gourd of wine, which cost him nearly ten renminbi, picked up the cup, poured out a cup, pushed it in front of Zhang Ming, and said:

"The shopkeeper also tastes the old man's wine, don't be disgusted."

"Okay." Zhang Ming didn't dislike it. What kind of wine is not for drinking, and it was a good intention.

When Lei Hu saw this, he didn't go forward to say hello, the shopkeeper made his own arrangement, and it was not his turn.

After Zhang Ming finished drinking, he praised: "Not bad."

"Hey." Boatman Zhan laughed, as long as Zhang Ming didn't dislike him.

After drinking, Zhang Ming chatted with Boatman Zhan: "It's raining today and there are no drinkers. Why did the old man come at this time?"

"There's no business when it's raining, come and have a seat." Boatman Zhan replied.

"Well, yes, after all, it hasn't rained for a few days."

"Yeah, it rains a lot here, and I'm not used to it if it doesn't rain all the time."

Boatman Zhan was still wearing a coir raincoat, and there was still some rain on his face, but he didn't care. As a boatman, he had seen a lot of rain and was used to it.

The people who came to the tavern to drink didn't talk too much, and talked too little. Zhang Ming usually wrote when he was bored, and teased Xiao Qi from time to time, which was quite leisurely.

"If there are a lot of people visiting the lake on a sunny day, the old man's business will be much better, right? Chunyang Lake is so big and it takes a lot of effort to go back and forth." Zhang Ming said.

"It was okay a few years ago, old man, I can last two rounds in one hour, but now I can't... I can't last one round." The old man Zhan waved his hand, with a wry smile on his face. It's called leisure, and the old man is a little envious."

Zhang Ming shook his head and said calmly: "There's nothing to be envious of. It's boring when no one comes to drink."

"Does the old man have any children?" Zhang Ming asked.

Boatman Zhan sighed and said, "There is a son and a daughter."

"how?"

"My son... is an evil, old man, I have no way to teach him..."

Zhang Ming naturally knew about this, and he couldn't say anything, so he could only persuade him: "It's not your fault, old man, you have said everything that needs to be said, and who can blame him if he doesn't listen."

"It's just... suffering from my daughter." Old man Zhan felt a little regretful when he mentioned this matter. If he didn't let it go, how could his son be like this.

Zhang Ming didn't say anything, and Gongsun Yu had also heard about this matter. Chuanfu Zhan's daughter was really suffering.

"Do you still recognize him, old man?" Zhang Ming asked.

"Admit what?" Old man Zhan was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, looked up and thought for a while, and then replied: "Admit...Admit it, after all, he is my son."

"En." Zhang Ming raised his head and drank the glass of wine.

What Gu Qingshan and Gongsun Yu said is true, even if Zhan Renxin is a beast, Zhan Chuanfu still has to admit it, after all, his blood is flowing on his body.

"Stop talking, come, shopkeeper, try the old man's wine again."

Zhang Ming thought about it.

At this age, Chuanfu Zhan let go of many things in his heart. If his son is not successful, he will not be successful, just don't implicate him in the future.

If Gongsun Yu made a move, Zhan Renxin reckoned that his life was over, and he was right. In Jian'an City, Gongsun's family was a dragon, and it was too easy to torture a person.

That's exactly what it said.

Good and evil will be rewarded in the end,

The road we have taken.

This matter is also a fate, if the old man Zhan does not come to the tavern, maybe there is no Gongsun Yu to help him, all of this has a cause and effect.

The punters on Chunyang Lake are still there, they are chic now, and they will still be chic in the future.

The boats parked by the lake sheltered from the rain, outside was wind and rain, they carried people swimming in the lake, and they carried talents from the annual poetry meeting.

After waiting for a long time but no one came, Boatman Zhan put on his cloak again and left the tavern.

Zhang Ming drank two glasses of old wine. Although the wine was not good, it had a special flavor.

"Wow wow wow..."

Zhang Ming stood at the entrance of the tavern, and it was raining lightly outside.

The old man in the coir raincoat and cloak on the official road made splashes every step he took, and when he couldn't wait for anyone, the old man also went back.

Lei Hu came out from the tavern, "The shopkeeper."

"What?" Zhang Ming turned to look at Lei Hu.

"Someone doesn't understand why the good people in this world protect the wicked."

"A good man? Do you think that old man just now is a good man?"

"Ah."

Zhang Ming shook his head and said, "Even if his son is ineffective, he will still protect his son and recognize him. That's why you think he is kind. But is it necessary for a person like Zhan Renxin to exist in this world? You Do you think he protects such a person, is it good or evil?"

Lei Hu thought for a long time, but he didn't know how to answer. According to what the shopkeeper said, the old man seemed to be a villain again.

Zhang Ming looked at Lei Hu, and said calmly: "From your point of view, it is good, and from some people's point of view, it may be evil, but in the final analysis, whether it is good or evil, has anything to do with me or you? "

"But……"

"When you heard what Gongsun Yu said last time, you had a murderous aura. There are so many villains in this world. Do you kill one every time you hear about it? Do you have that ability?"
