Time Traveling: The Man and Wife Heads the House

Only Sun Zheng and Cui'er were left in the teahouse, and they fell silent for a while.

Sun Zheng rubbed his head, "I, I live here. I have no place to live. Zhang Chi took me in. He is a good man."

"Don't you have any family?"

"Nothing."

Cui'er looked at Sun Zheng, and said after a while: "Your clothes are all dirty, don't you want to change one? I can wash it for you."

"Of course it needs to be changed, but you don't need to wash it."

"Do you still hate me?"

Cui'er's eyes turned red, she now regrets how she treated Sun Zheng like that, although this man has few words, he is indeed a kind person.

"No. No. How can I hate you?"

Even though Tweety's words were harsh, Sun Zheng didn't dislike her, he just thought she was a little girl, just wayward.Seeing that her eye circles were reddish, looking like she was going to cry or not, I felt quite uncomfortable.

"You have been frightened a lot today, go back and rest early! I'll see you off."

"No, you're injured, you'd better take a good rest! By the way, haven't you eaten yet? I'll buy it for you."

After finishing speaking, before Sun Zheng could say no, Cui'er hurried out of the door.

This street is very bustling, there is a steamed stuffed bun shop as soon as you go out, Tweety bought steamed stuffed buns and porridge and came back, told Sun Zheng to eat before leaving.Sun Zheng was worried that she was alone, so he sent her back to the gate of Jiangfu, and then walked back.

Before entering Jiangfu, Cui'er promised with red eyes, "Sun Zheng, I will definitely let the master catch Wang Yilong!"

In fact, Wang Yilong didn't do anything to them, even if he caught them, it would be nothing more than a punishment, not to mention there is a great possibility that they won't be caught at all.But Sun Zheng still nodded his thanks and told her not to go out alone.

Tweety nodded in agreement, and then entered the mansion.

After Gu Xihe left, Zhang Chi fell into emptiness, feeling that time passed too slowly.well!There are still several days before Xihe can come back!

He looked at Sun Zheng's arm wrapped around the white cloth, and suddenly remembered something.He raised his arm and waved, calling Sun Zheng to his eyes.

"Sun Zheng, why hasn't Miss Cui Er come yet?"

In the past few days, Tweety always comes to the teahouse early in the morning, she has changed from her previous acrimony, not only will she bring Sun Zheng soup made by herself, but she will also greet her with care and concern in her words.

This day, we have already eaten lunch, and Tweety hasn't come yet.

Sun Zheng blinked, not understanding Zhang Chi's words.

"Did she say she was coming?"

Hearing Sun Zheng's answer, Cui Jingshun curled his lips together.

Zhang Chi looked at Sun Zheng's clear eyes, and sighed, why is this person so clueless?No wonder he is still alone at such an advanced age.

He wanted to tease him, and said deliberately: "She didn't say that. However, she didn't say it in advance when she came yesterday and the day before yesterday! Could it be that she won't come today?"

Sun Zheng didn't understand Zhang Chi's thoughts, and said seriously, "It's possible. After all, she is someone else's maid, how can she come out every day?"

"But, you are her savior! How could she stop coming if she couldn't say it?"

Sun Zheng rubbed the back of his neck and smiled, "I'm not a lifesaver! It's just that I just happened to meet."

Zhang Chi was lying on the table, looking at him with piercing eyes, "Sun Zheng, I didn't expect you to be very good at fighting. One can beat four people. Have you practiced before?"

"No, no. It's just, it's just a coincidence."

Zhang Chi looked at his vague tone and flickering eyes, knowing that he was not telling the truth.It seems that this Sun Zheng is not as simple and dull as he appears on the outside.

However, he believed that he saw people with his own eyes, and this person would not be harmful to him or Gu Xihe.

"Sun Zheng, what do you think of Miss Cui Er?"

Sun Zheng raised his head in astonishment, "Miss Cui'er? That's pretty good!"

"Really? I think so too. You said she came to see you every day, didn't you..."

Sun Zheng waited for Zhang Chi to continue, but Zhang Chi just looked at him meaningfully.

He asked strangely: "Zhang Chi, why didn't you say anything? Is Miss Cui Er something?"

Zhang Chi sighed again, this is just an idiot, what's wrong with him!

"Do you think Tweety has fallen in love with you?"

"Ah!" Sun Zheng's eyes widened suddenly, and he waved his hands again and again, "How is that possible?"

"How is it impossible? Look, she comes to see you every day, brings you food, and helps you wash your clothes. I don't think it's far from it."

"No. She is, she is grateful to me, after all, I saved her."

"Well, I know that there is no repayment for the kindness of saving a life, so I promised it with my body. Isn't that how it is sung in the play?"

Sun Zheng blushed, "You, you stop talking nonsense, so as not to damage Miss Cui'er's reputation."

Zhang Chi looked at his blushing face and continued, "Speaking of which, Miss Cui'er is actually pretty good. Although her mouth is a bit mean, she is not mean-spirited. She is beautiful and smart..."

Before he finished speaking, Sun Zheng had already turned and left.

He looked at Cui Jingshun, pretending to be surprised: "Why did he leave?"

Cui Jingshun looked down at his account book, "You're making me anxious!"

Zhang Chi touched his nose, is this embarrassing?Can't help muttering: "Is this person so rude?"

Cui Jingshun shook his head, how boring Zhang Chi is!

Zhang Chi also felt bored, so he put on his cotton coat and went out.

There was a stove in the room, so it was very warm, and he didn't feel cold. When he went out, he found that the sky was overcast, and the north wind was blowing on his face with a biting cold, and he realized that it was already winter.

The weather here is much colder than the city he was in in modern times. It is only mid-September now, and it is very cold, as if it is going to snow.There were not many people on the street, and most of them were wearing heavy winter clothes and walking in a hurry.

Looking at the bare trees on both sides of the street, Zhang Chi felt a sense of depression in his heart.

Ever since he came to this world, he has been busy with renovations and running teahouses. He has almost never walked the streets so leisurely.He suddenly thought that when Gu Xihe came back, he would go out with him for a stroll, see the customs and customs, and eat local snacks.Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing in a low voice. It's been so long since he came, and he just remembered it.After thinking about it again, when Xihe came back, I was so tired of patronizing him, why would I want to go out?Thinking of Gu Xihe, the corners of his mouth drooped again, Xihe will not be back for several days!

After walking down a street, the wind became stronger and stronger, so he couldn't help wrapping his coat tightly, turned around and walked back.

From a distance, I saw a person standing at the door of the teahouse, facing the teahouse, motionless.The man didn't go in until he reached the door.

Who is he?After watching for so long, why don't you go in?

Zhang Chi approached, and saw that it was a young man, not as tall as himself, but more slender.Wearing a dark embroidered cloak and a velvet hat of the same color, he was dressed like a nobleman, his face was pale, and he must have been standing for a long time.

Zhang Chi was puzzled, walked over and patted the man on the shoulder, and said with a light smile, "It's cold outside, why don't you go in and have a drink?"

The man was startled, and stared at Zhang Chi with wide eyes. Zhang Chi smiled, "Go in, have a cup of hot water, and keep warm. Don't worry, I won't charge you."

The man's eyes blinked, and there was a change on his dull face.

"Are you the boss here?"

"No, I'm just a storyteller."

"A storyteller? Are you Zhang Chi?"

"Correct."

Zhang Chi saw this man's expression was a bit strange, and the eyes he looked at him were very straightforward, and he felt strange in his heart. Does this man know him?But I don't remember him at all.

Speaking of which, Zhang Chi is very lucky. After he arrived in this strange world, he has never encountered the phenomenon that others know him but he does not remember others.

He also asked Gu Xihe, and Gu Xihe said that it might be because he was a twin, he rarely went out when he was a child, joined the army as an adult, married again after joining the army, and rarely had contact with people in the town.And their Zhang family originally had a small population, and there were only him and Zhang Qing left in this generation. The neighbors were offended by Chen Guihua all over the place, and they had no contact with each other.Therefore, even if there was a new core in Zhang Chi's skin, no one would find out.

At this moment, seeing the strange expression on the man in front of him, he took the initiative to ask, "Do you know me?"

The man glanced at him and shook his head.

Zhang Chi heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Why do we have to know each other before? Let's go in and sit down."

The man didn't expect Zhang Chi to say it well, and he was even more shocked by the splendor of this poem. When he came back to his senses, he had already followed Zhang Chi into the teahouse.

There are many people sitting in the teahouse, some people come to drink tea, some people are waiting to hear the story, some just pass by and come in to keep warm.

After the weather got cold, Zhang Chi told Sun Zheng that if anyone wanted to come in and sit down, don't stop them, let them in, and pour them a cup of hot water.

Sun Zheng said sullenly, "They will occupy our seats."

Zhang Chi patted him on the shoulder, and said lightly: "It's not easy to go out in the cold weather, so let's give him some warmth if we can!"

Sun Zheng looked at Zhang Chi and nodded in agreement.If it wasn't for Zhang Chi's kindness, he wouldn't be here either.

As soon as the man entered the door, he felt a sense of warmth. He was surprised when he saw the warm furnishings in the room and the soft-spoken conversations among the guests.Why is it so quiet here?

Zhang Chi looked back at the man, "Sit whatever you want."

Watching him sit down in a corner, Zhang Chi went to the counter and said to Sun Zheng: "Give that guest a cup of hot drink."

"Oh." Sun Zheng agreed, poured a glass of hot orange juice, walked up to the man, and said warmly, "Sir, please take it slowly."

The man looked at the orange liquid in the white porcelain cup in front of him, and smelled a sweet and sour smell.No wonder he smelled a slight sweet smell when he entered the door. Is it from this kind of thing?

"what is this?"

Sun Zheng smiled and said: "This is the hot orange juice newly launched by our teahouse. It tastes good. You can try it."

The man lowered his head, tried to take a sip, and then took another sip.The sweet and sour liquid spread over the tip of the tongue, and the warm temperature slid down the throat and fell into the stomach, all the way down, warming the whole body.

He looked up in astonishment, "How did this happen?"

Sun Zheng still smiled, "This is the secret recipe of our teahouse."

The man's face turned red all of a sudden, why did he ask such a stupid question?

"Sorry. I mean, who made this... this..."

He didn't know what to call it.

Sun Zheng introduced him patiently, "This is hot orange juice, a new drink made by Zhang Chi, and the meaning of drink is something that can be drunk."

"Drinks? What drinks do you have here?"

"In summer, there are various fruit juices. In winter, there are hot orange juice, lemonade, and hot milk. Of course, there are also various teas."

"Is there still hot milk?" The man's eyes widened. "Is there anyone drinking it?"

"Of course. The kids love it."

"How much is this glass of hot orange juice?"

"Three pennies. However, Zhang Chi invites you to drink this cup. No money is required."

After finishing speaking, Sun Zheng went to greet other guests.

The man looked down at the cup, and muttered a few words in a low voice, "Zhang Chi, so he is such a person."

For a moment, he was a little depressed. This man does have a heart-warming quality.

Zhang Chi went to the back room and took off his coat and came out. When he saw the man drinking water with his head down, he didn't care anymore, because it was time to tell a story.

The "Journey to the West" in his memory is about to finish, and Zhang Chi hasn't figured out what to talk about. Although the teahouse is now on the right track, he feels that since the storytelling attracts the guests, the story must continue. It is already part of the teahouse.

After the story was finished, Zhang Chi chatted with a few regular customers. After most of the guests had left, he saw the man just now was still sitting in that seat.

The man held the cup in both hands, lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.His cloak was placed on the chair next to him, and he was wearing a light blue silk robe with a dark jacket on the outside. He was obviously a son of a wealthy family.

He walked over, sat down naturally, and said like an acquaintance: "Is this your first time here? What do you think of this place?"

The man raised his head, his complexion had returned to color, and he nodded, "Well. The environment here is very good, the drinks are delicious, and your story is also very good."

Zhang Chi smiled and said, "Your expression doesn't seem to say that."

The man touched his face and lowered his head.

"What seems to be on your mind?"

The man raised his head and looked at Zhang Chi, his eyes were actually full of anger.

He stood up abruptly and said angrily, "Zhang Chi, don't bully me too much!"

Zhang Chi's face was full of question marks, "I'm deceiving people too much? How do you say that? I don't know you."

The man looked at Zhang Chi for a while, then sat down again as if discouraged.He lowered his head and didn't speak for a long time.

Zhang Chi just asked casually, without prying into his mind, and said indifferently: "If you don't want to say it, forget it."

He turned to call Sun Zheng, "Sun Zheng, give this gentleman another drink."

After finishing speaking, he was about to get up, but the man said, "Zhang Chi, you..."

Zhang Chi thought he was in a difficult situation, so he sat down again, but saw his face change, and his eyes turned to the door of the teahouse.

Zhang Chi looked over in confusion, only to see the door curtain opened and Tweety came in.

Tweety was carrying a porcelain pot in her hand, and when she entered the door, her eyes naturally looked for Sun Zheng. When she saw him, the corners of her mouth immediately curled up, and she quickened her pace.

"Sun Zheng, I'm late today, are you in a hurry? I went out with the lady today and didn't come back in the afternoon. I didn't have enough time. I only stewed crucian carp soup, which was still hot!"
