Traveling through books to ancient times, I provoke the love of villains and powerful ministers

"You made that Lai Er go to my friend's restaurant to make trouble?"

Qi Qingxi felt that if Wang Wan was really a good-natured person, she would have asked straight to the point.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant was also stunned by Wang Wanru's question, but he immediately understood what Wang Wanru was talking about.

Not only did Lai Er take his silver, but he was arrested, and he came to him directly?What a piece of crap.

Can he admit that he asked Lai Er to do it?Then he is a fool!

"Oh, this... Where does this start from?"

"Then Lai Er said it himself, but the shopkeeper wants to quibble?"

Qi Qingxi felt that it was her own business after all, and she couldn't always rely on others to help her open her mouth, so she asked before Wang Wanru opened her mouth.

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper turned his face suddenly, and said: "Everything must be based on factual evidence. You all know that he is called Lai Er. A few words from a Lai Zi can prove that I asked someone to make trouble?"

He pointed at Wang Wanru and said, "Then I said she sent someone to make trouble in your shop, why didn't you talk to her?"

"You..." Wang Wanru's face was full of anger, she stretched out her whip and pointed at the shopkeeper, "How dare you slander me."

"I slander you? You still slander me, don't act wildly at my place just because your father is a small headhunter, there are people above me." The shopkeeper snorted coldly, "It's okay, don't stand here and delay me Do business, Xiaoer, see off customers."

Just relying on Lai Er's words can't really prove anything, but Qi Qingxi and Lai Er have no grudges in the past, and now they have no enmity. He collects money to help others, and if things don't get done, the money is always in his hands. She thinks Lai Er is unnecessary. Just pull an irrelevant person to lie to her.

Moreover, Wang Wanru just said that Lai Er went to her friend's restaurant to make trouble, and didn't say which restaurant it was. Even if the shopkeeper knew that Qi Qingxi opened a restaurant, how could he immediately believe that Lai Er went to make trouble in her restaurant.

This is a typical self-promotion.

Of course, he could deny that he was just guessing.

Qi Qingxi didn't have conclusive evidence, so he couldn't do anything about it.

Before she was pushed out by Xiao Er, the shopkeeper shouted to her proudly: "Little women should obediently embroider at home, but want to follow the example of men and come out to do business and make money. This is how ignorant women like you can do it." Made it casually?"

It turned out that the shopkeeper was what she called a misogynist in her era, and she couldn't complain that she had no grievances but wanted someone to ruin her business.

But Qi Qingxi is not the kind of person who is willing to suffer from being dumb for nothing.

If he dares to play crookedly, isn't he afraid that she will play even more crookedly?Those with bare feet are not afraid of those who wear shoes. It's just a small shop to the left and right, and at worst it will be closed.

Qi Qingxi was just about to speak, but someone spoke before her.

"The shopkeeper's words are wrong. In ancient times, Hua Mulan served in the army in place of her father, and Wu Zetian came to the throne. Even women are women who do not give in to men. They have a lot of pride. Why do women only stay at home to embroider and not go out to do business? Say it."

The speaker was the scholar Qi Qingxi met at the door just now.

Seeing that the poor scholar came back again, Xiao Er dared to play tricks with their shopkeeper. He couldn't move those two girls, and couldn't move this poor scholar?

He picked up the broom by the door and greeted the scholar: "Go, go, I told you that we won't hire you as a poor scholar to be an accountant. Can't you hear me, and dare to come back and speak up? It's really bad."

The shopkeeper stood aside and watched coldly with his sleeves tucked in, with a hint of ridicule on his face.

Qi Qingxi and Wang Wanru couldn't see it, and wanted to go up and teach the little girl a lesson.

But the scholar endured the beating, rushed up and snatched the broom in the second-hand little boy, and said angrily: "You little boy, you are a poor scholar, and you know that I am a scholar and have a reputation, and you dare to do something to me. How dare you do it to me!" The official is still majestic."

He turned his head to look at Qi Qingxi and the two of them and said: "I'm going to the county government to sue this store owner for instigating a clerk to commit murder and beat me. This broom is the evidence. I would like to ask the two girls to also testify for me."

Only then did the shopkeeper realize that something was wrong, he was not afraid to report to the officer, there were people above him.

What he was afraid of was the status of poor and talented scholars. These scholars were very polite, and they liked to hug each other when they were in trouble.

If the group of scholars knew that this scholar was beaten in his shop, they would not know how to write some sour poems and prose calling him insulting to the gentlemen.

Maybe it's like stabbing a fox's nest, and if he gets all pissed off, no one will dare to come to eat, which will ruin his job.

He glared at the little girl very displeased, and immediately stepped forward to apologize to the scholar: "I'm sorry, Mr. Xiucai, I apologize on behalf of the little girl for being rude. Your lord has a lot to do with him." care about."

Qi Qingxi saw that the shopkeeper was a bully, and she knew how to threaten others, so she said: "Since the shopkeeper refuses to admit it, I really have nothing to say. But the shopkeeper, please remember, there are people above you, how do you know that I am not on top?" People? If there is a next time, how about we compete with the people who are superior?"

Seeing what Qi Qingxi said, the shopkeeper remembered that he had heard people say that the female shopkeeper of this restaurant is said to be the adopted daughter of the magistrate's family. Is it true?Otherwise, how dare she threaten him so arrogantly?

His distant relatives are just judges under the magistrate. If they are relatives, they are so far away that they don't know how many relatives outside the house. It is not certain whether they will be able to stand up for him at that time.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant felt a little regretful that he had asked for bad luck. He had tried to punish him and made himself suffer.

He only felt that his life was unlucky, and he had no choice but to admit that he had encountered such unlucky things.

At this moment, he just wanted to send these people away quickly.

Qi Qingxi didn't want to talk too much with such shameless people, so she pulled Wang Wanru to leave.

When she was leaving, she thanked the scholar for helping her speak: "Thank you for your righteous words. The little girl opened a restaurant not far away. If you don't mind, I would like to invite you to sit and have a cup of tea."

Wang Xiucai hasn't had a drink since he went out early in the morning. He is indeed very thirsty, and originally wanted to find a place to drink, so he was not as polite as Qi Qingxi.

"Then trouble the lady to give you a bowl of water." Wang Xiucai said to the little boy again, "Although Wang is poor, he still has some ambition. If he is kicked out once, he won't be ashamed again. The umbrella fell, so I turned around to get it."

The shopkeeper immediately looked at Xiao Er with a straight face: "Hurry up and find Mr. Xiucai's umbrella."

Seeing the shopkeeper's order, the waiter immediately went back to the shop to find the umbrella, not daring to be as arrogant as before, nodded and bowed and returned the umbrella to Wang Xiucai.

Wang Xiucai didn't want to say anything more, so he turned his head and left with Qi Qingxi.

"Is your surname Wang? Coincidentally, my surname is also Wang." On the road, Wang Wan spoke like Wang Xiucai.

Qi Qingxi was also very curious about him. She heard from Yunming that August next year would be the three-year autumn, and it was time for the students to bury their heads in their studies.

Why did this scholar come out to find something to do at this time? Could it be that he gave up studying?

But just now she clearly heard that the scholar boasted that he is a person with ambition. Since he is a person with ambition, why did he give up the scientific examination?

She couldn't help asking him: "I just heard you said that you are looking for something to do?"

Wang Xiucai and Qi Qingxi smiled: "Yes."
