No matter what Quandao thought, the old man was extremely happy, as if he had finally met his soulmate and regretted meeting him so late.

He wanted to grab Beibei's hand, then turned around and grabbed a handful of nuts, and said excitedly: "I knew those guys in the bookstore were just jealous of me! They didn't want me to be a storyteller, huh, for fear that I would steal their business."

Quandao looked around and saw that the teahouse's business was almost ruined by you.

Beibei cupped his hands and said, "May I ask your surname, sir?"

"The old man's surname is Sima, and his last name is only Confucian. You can just call me Da Ru."

Quan Dao: "..."

Beibei's eyes were filled with surprise: "It turns out to be Mr. Daru. This name fits your temperament and demeanor so well. Your parents are really good at naming. I admire you."

Beibei turned around and called to the waiter: "Two more plates of snacks."

The old man smiled brightly and his beard stood up.

Beibei added: "Look, can you teach me storytelling? If you can accept me as your disciple, I will definitely honor you. During the time I am in Lincheng, I will cover all your food and drinks. How about it?" "

The old man was stunned and looked Beibei up and down: "Do you mean what you said?"

Beibei immediately stood up and saluted the old man: "Old man, accept my bow!"

Beibei glanced at Quandao, who quickly stood up and saluted behind Beibei.

Sima Ru waved to the boy: "Have a cup of good tea!"

After saying that, he said to Beibei: "I will treat him as your disciple."

Beibei personally brought the tea and handed it over: "Teacher, please drink tea."

Sima Ru laughed loudly, took the tea and took a sip: "This tea is extremely delicious!"

"Okay, okay, I'll accept you two!"

Beibei happily said: "Thank you teacher."

Sima Ru stroked his beard with satisfaction: "How long do you plan to stay here?"

"I just thought about it. I have to help the teacher to boost his power. Aren't those bookstores unwilling to let you go? We still have to go, but," Beibei changed the subject, "we can't let them go." happy."

Beibei slapped the table: "Man, call the shopkeeper here!"

In this small shop, the shopkeeper is also the owner.

"Sir, what are your orders?"

Beibei took out a piece of silver and put it on the table: "I will rent your teahouse for my teacher for ten days. This piece of silver belongs to you, but I have one condition."

The shopkeeper's eyes shone, this ingot of silver would cost more than ten taels, and he wouldn't be able to earn it even in a hundred days, not to mention ten days.

"We're going to have a temporary show at your place. You have to be responsible for the tea for the guests who come. The tea is free. If anyone wants a fruit plate, the money from the sale will be yours. How about that?"

The shopkeeper's smile froze slightly, he quickly glanced at Sima Ru and said to himself, that's it? Also book the venue? Not even a guest.

It doesn't matter anyway, with this ingot of silver, he is sure to make a profit without losing anything.

"OK, no problem!"

After the matter was settled, Beibei gave Quandao a wink, and Quandao took out a small gong or something that had been prepared long ago and went to the door and knocked.

Beibei said to Sima Ru: "Teacher, I have said some things in my travels over the years. Why don't you let me try it? You can check it for me and check my basic skills."

Sima Ru stroked his beard and nodded: "Okay, no problem, just let it go and I'll tell you the truth."

Beibei was very grateful: "Okay, thank you teacher."

As soon as the gong was struck and the sign saying free tea was put up, many passers-by were attracted. Goodbye Beibei was a pleasant young man with a smile on his face, and they were all willing to see what was going on.

Some people who knew Sima Ru whispered: "Hey, it's him, and the book he said is terrible!"

"Then I have to hear how unpleasant it is. Anyway, the tea is for nothing."

"That's right, let's go and listen!"

When there were almost a dozen people arriving, Beibei Xiaoxingmu slapped him: "Everyone, what I want to say today is that the shameless lady used clever tricks to frame General Chongyi."

The people present were stunned, what kind of book is this? Never heard of it before.

Beibei's articulation was clear, her tone was precise, and her stories were novel. Without much effort, not only the passers-by were attracted, but even the shopkeepers and waiters in the teahouse were mesmerized.

Sima Ru looked at the crowds of people, then looked at the people outside the door, then squinted at the bookstore opposite, and raised the corners of his mouth.

This is his apprentice! Dear disciple!

……

It was almost noon, and Magistrate Wu finally managed to get out of his way and hurriedly came to see Huo Changhe.

As he walked, he listened to the master telling him what happened in the morning.

I heard that Huo Changhe's little maid didn't take Yongchang County Lord seriously at all, let alone the chief steward, and they also said that even the housekeeper from his hometown had to dismount from his horse and sedan chair.

Magistrate Wu sighed: "It's so hard to compare one person to another! God is wise and sent me such a great God of Wealth."

"That's right, our luck has come this time. Brother-in-law, your official position is stable. Maybe you can be proud and promoted again!"

Yan Ruyu was feeding myna when Magistrate Wu arrived.

Myna flew onto her shoulder, looking at her with his little black eyes.

"Oh, what a clever bird!" Magistrate Wu praised.

Yan Ruyu patted the myna on the little head, and the myna flew away.

"Sir, are you finished?" Yan Ruyu asked.

She was rude and her tone was normal, but Magistrate Wu didn't think there was anything wrong. Instead, he felt that this was how she should be.

"Yes, I originally wanted to come to see the young master earlier, but things got stuck."

"Magistrate Wu is in charge of the affairs of a county and is naturally very busy." Yan Ruyu pointed to the stone bench in the courtyard and said, "Sit down."

Magistrate Wu sat down and cleared his throat: "Where is the young master?"

"Young master has taken medicine and needs to sleep for a while." Yan Ruyu poured tea, "I wonder what you are busy with? Is there anything we can do to help?"

Magistrate Wu said in his heart that of course he needs you and your money.

"Alas," Magistrate Wu sighed while holding the teacup, "There are indeed many things to do. I am grateful for the girl's kindness, but..."

He thought that he couldn't say it clearly, and he didn't do anything yet. When he came up, he said that he wanted people to pay taxes. It would be bad if he scared people away.

"I heard from Master that the girl wants to buy some fodder?" He changed the subject, "This officer can help."

Yan Ruyu smiled slightly: "We are just a small caravan, with more than a dozen horses, just to supplement, there is no need to have too many."

She thought for a moment: "I wonder if there are any horses selling in the market? If the young master opens a shop here and needs to expand the caravan, horses will be indispensable. However, we must have high-quality horses."

The master sighed: "My master is worried about the horse."

"Oh?" Yan Ruyu was confused, "Why is this?"

Magistrate Wu lowered his voice: "The chief steward of Yongchang County Lord's Mansion said that some horses were lost and he is asking me to help find them. This is what I was busy with this morning.

All the government officials and police officers were sent out, but there is still no news at all. "

"Girl, you might as well tell the young master to open the shop first, and then talk about the caravan later. Once the storm is over, it won't be too late to buy a horse."

Yan Ruyu was slightly surprised: "Is there such a thing? Can a horse be lost? I've never heard of it."

Magistrate Wu gritted his teeth and said, "Who says it's not the case? I also find it unbelievable. He also said that many horses were lost, all of which were high-quality horses. There were so many horses in groups, how could there be no trace at all?" ?”

Yan Ruyu took it seriously and said with a solemn expression: "Master Wu, after hearing what you said, I remembered something."

"What's the matter?"
