The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

"Bamboo roots?"

"Are you awake, Master?"

Shi Hongshang placed her fist on her forehead and tapped it gently, "My head feels so dizzy."

Zhui Gen said, "How can you not feel dizzy? The Marquis got you drunk last night."

Shi Hongshang was still drunk until now. He just woke up after hearing Zhuigen's words. Otherwise, he would have thought that he was in their hometown in Chaizhou. He turned over and sat up, "Zhugen, did I embarrass myself last night?"

Zhu Gen'er said, "How can this not be embarrassing? The young master was drunk by the marquis after just two bottles of wine, and you didn't even struggle after you fell down."

Shi Hongshang slapped her head hard a few times, "Oh my, why can't I remember anything? What did the Marquis say to me later? Oh? How did I come back?"

Zhu Gen'er said, "How else can I come back? I carried you back on my back, young master. I've seen you drink so much in the past, but you didn't fall down after just two bottles of wine. The main reason is that you were the first to fall down. I called you for an hour but you didn't wake up. It's really a pity."

Shi Hongshang said angrily, "I've embarrassed myself, but you're still nagging me. I've never had much tolerance for alcohol. I'm fine with tea, but not with alcohol. By the way, is there anyone looking for me?"

Zhu Gen'er said, "Yes, it is already noon, Master Cheng has called you twice."

"Did you say anything?"

Zhu Gen'er said, "They are waiting for you to go out on the street."

Shi Hongshang patted her head again and said, "What a waste of time! Hurry up and help me find clothes."

Zhugen said, "I have been looking for your clothes for a long time, but you won't wake up."

"Stop talking nonsense and help me change my clothes. I have something important to discuss with Master Chen."

The man dressed neatly and went to the hall. Cheng Feng was waiting for him there. When they met, Cheng Feng asked first, "Are you up?"

Shi Hongshang smiled awkwardly: "Excuse me, excuse me, I can't drink much, I made a fool of myself last night."

Cheng Feng said, "It's not that you can't drink much, it's that your uncle and Uncle Ge can drink too much. Few people won't fall down when they meet them. They won't let you go until you're drunk."

Shi Hongshang asked, "Where is the Marquis?"

"He has official business today, so he asked me to accompany you. You want to rent a shop, right? I'll take you to the street to have a look, and you can choose one. But I don't have a place as grand as your Chaizhou tea shop."

Shi Hongshang smiled and said, "I'm not picky, I'm just sitting back and enjoying the fruits of others' labor. You can just give me a place to stay. I'll hire someone to clean up the mess and then I'll move into the teahouse first."

Cheng Feng said: "Why are you in such a hurry? Your Shi family is my uncle's benefactor, and my uncle has to entertain you."

Shi Hongshang waved her hands and said, "I can't handle it. I can't handle it. I'm still drunk and my stomach feels like it's on fire."

Cheng Feng smiled and said, "Did you drink the hangover soup that the dining hall prepared for you?"

Shi Hongshang said: "I drank it. Thanks to this bowl of hangover soup, otherwise, I would be staggering and couldn't walk in a straight line."

Cheng Feng said: "You should be prepared. If my uncle has nothing to do tonight, he will have to host a banquet to entertain you."

Shi Hongshang stood up and bowed to Cheng Feng, "Hongshang can't take it anymore, I hope Master Cheng can save me."

Cheng Feng said: "Don't be afraid, if it doesn't work, just fall on the table and pretend to be drunk."

Shi Hongshang said: "Will this work?"

Cheng Feng said, "Why wouldn't it work? You'll get drunk anyway if you drink with them. You might as well pretend to be drunk early. Let's go to the street and look at the shops."

Without waiting for Shi Hongshang to say more, Cheng Feng led his men out of the door and onto the street. He selected a few good-looking shops for Shi Hongshang to see, "These are the only places suitable for opening a teahouse. The other shops are too far down."

Shi Hongshang smiled and said, "Cheng Feng, I won't be polite with you. I'll choose one on the main street."

Cheng Feng said, "Choose whichever one you like. I can't use all the shops. The ones I showed you have been repaired almost completely. After you choose one, I will choose another shop. I will buy some things in the next few days and prepare to open for business."

Shi Hongshang said: "Cheng Feng, you are not planning to open a store, are you?"

Cheng Feng said: "You think I bought these shops to collect rent? I must use some of them."

Shi Hongshang asked: "What kind of store do you want to open?"

Cheng Feng said: "I want to open a noodle shop first. I have had the tables, chairs and benches made. I will be preparing to open the shop in the next two days."

Shi Hongshang said, "How about your noodle shop and our tea house be next to each other?"

Cheng Feng said: "Okay, this way we still have someone to take care of us."

The two people looked around and finally chose one that was opposite each other, with a road in between.

Shi Hongshang said to Cheng Feng: "Lend me a few of your people, and I will provide the labor and materials to renovate this house."

Cheng Feng said: "This is a renovated house. Look at the carved beams and paint, and the doors and windows. They are all new. Why are you renovating it? It's good enough to just decorate it."

Shi Hongshang put her arm around Cheng Feng's shoulders and said, "I'm not saying that your shop is not well-maintained. The main point is that you have made all your shops look the same. There is no thoughtfulness. Yours is a noodle shop and mine is a teahouse. If our two shops look the same, customers who enter my teahouse will think they have entered a noodle shop."

Cheng Feng said: "You look down on my noodle shop from the bottom of your heart. You have never eaten my noodles. If you have eaten them, you won't say that."

Shi Hongshang said, "Look at what you are thinking. Your environmental tea cannot be sold at a good price. I have to clean up the mess. Please send me some people. I am unfamiliar with the place and have no way to find anyone."

Cheng Feng said: "It's really not easy to find suitable people by yourself. Some of us have work to do. I'll lend you a few people. I have to set up the stove later."

……

Inside the prefect's mansion, Cheng Youning, who was about to be discharged from the hospital, happened to run into Bajiao, who came happily holding his clothes.

"Sister Bajiao." Qiao Rong shouted excitedly.

Cheng Youning asked Qiao Rong: "She must have taken the wrong path."

Bajiao smiled and said, "Young Master, I am not in the wrong place. I will serve you in this courtyard from now on."

When Qiao Rong heard this, she almost jumped up with joy, "That's great, finally Sister Bajiao is here."

Cheng Youning was not happy at all. He did not think that Bajiao coming to his courtyard was a good thing. "Who asked you to come?"

Bajiao said, "I asked the young lady for permission last night. She asked me to come. I also told the housekeeper. The housekeeper asked me to come to the young master's courtyard at this time, so I came now."

Cheng Youning asked, "Have you learned all the etiquette?"

Basho nodded and said, "The manager tested me this morning and I learned about 80% of it, so the manager asked me to come."
