Time Traveling: The Man and Wife Heads the House

Seeing Sun Zheng in a daze, he just smirked, Cui Jingshun really hated iron, and couldn't help joking beside him: "Miss Cui'er, you haven't come, Sun Zheng's neck is stretched today, always You're looking at the door!"

Sun Zheng blushed all of a sudden, "I didn't! Uncle Cui was just joking."

Cui'er didn't take it seriously, and urged Sun Zheng, "Hurry up and drink it while it's hot! It won't taste good when it's cold."

Sun Zheng obediently went to get the bowls and chopsticks.

Cui Jingshun stroked his beard, "Miss Cui Er, only Sun Zheng's share, not mine?"

Tweety replied crisply, "Of course, you and Boss Zhang have a share."

"Hahaha, thank you. Someone at the old man's house is cooking soup!"

After Cui Jingshun finished speaking, he said to Zhang Chi who was coming over, "Zhang Chi, the weather is not very good, I'm going back first."

Zhang Chi nodded. If it snowed, Cui Jingshun would be old, and he wouldn't worry about it.

After Cui Jingshun left, Zhang Chi smiled and said, "Cui'er, you came so late, are you going to trouble our Sun Zheng to take you back?"

Tweety rarely blushed, and murmured, "I didn't ask him to see it off."

Sun Zheng touched the back of his neck, "It's too late today, let me see you off!"

Before Tweety could answer, she heard someone calling her name behind her.

"Tweety? Why are you here?"

Cui'er turned her head and saw that it was He Jiahao, the son of the He family. Although she was a little surprised, she was blessed with a short stature, "Tui'er has met Mr. He."

He Jiahao gave a "hmm" and asked again: "Didn't your lady come?"

"No, Miss is in the mansion and hasn't gone out."

"Then what are you doing here?"

Cui'er didn't answer, she looked at Sun Zheng unconsciously, but quickly turned away.

Zhang Chi chuckled, "Sun Zheng, since you've finished drinking the soup, let's send Tweety home early! The weather is bad, so be careful."

Cui'er glanced at Sun Zheng, walked towards the door without saying a word.

Zhang Chi said to Sun Zheng who was still standing: "Why don't you go soon?"

Only then did Sun Zheng hurriedly follow.

Zhang Chi looked up and saw that He Jiahao was still standing in front of the counter looking at him, as if he had something to say.

What is this man here for?

Zhang Chi took the initiative to ask: "Young Master He, is there anything else you need?"

He Jiahao shook his head, "I'll pay the bill."

Zhang Chi said with a smile: "I told you I'm treating you, so you don't have to be polite."

However, He Jiahao persistently took out a small piece of broken silver from his pocket and put it on the counter.

"Mr. He, you can come to our teahouse to drink tea for half a month with this money. Today's drinks are only a few pennies. Just treat me as a friend of yours. Why are you so polite?"

He Jiahao looked directly at Zhang Chi, and did not collect the money, "Then I will deposit the money here, and come to drink tea later."

Seeing that he was stubborn, Zhang Chi put away the money and said, "Then let me get you a VIP card? I'll give you a [-]% discount when you come to drink tea later."

The man asked suspiciously, "VIP card?"

"Yes. The VIP card is also a membership card, but the discount is even stronger! Not only can you listen to stories for free, but you can also get a [-]% discount on tea and drinks."

As Zhang Chi said, he took out a VIP card and handed it to He Jiahao.

He Jiahao took the VIP card, read it several times, and suddenly asked, "Is Ms. Jiang a member here too?"

The man's voice was a bit stiff, Zhang Chi suddenly realized that this man asked Miss Jiang twice, does he like Jiang Tinglan?The question is what does this have to do with me?When he met He Jiahao's piercing eyes, he was suddenly blessed. Did he think that I had some affair with Miss Jiang?

He thought it was ridiculous, he was a married couple, how could he provoke other girls?But I thought about it again, Miss Jiang came to her teahouse a few times, someone must have seen it, Tweety made a big noise in the teahouse, and more people saw it.Although I explained it at the time, there must be some people who don't believe it. In addition, Tweety's frequent visits to teahouses recently made gossip even more inevitable.

Zhang Chi glanced at He Jiahao again, he looked like he had a good family background, but he was worthy of Jiang Tinglan.I just don't know if Jiang Tinglan likes him or not?

Thinking that more things are worse than less things, Zhang Chi said lightly: "Miss Jiang is not a member of our teahouse, and she hasn't been here for a while. But Miss Cui'er has a VIP card of our teahouse, so she often comes here."

"I don't think it is often, is it every day? She didn't come to drink tea, she came to see your buddy, right? She is a girl, how can she be so casual?"

Zhang Chi didn't expect his words to be so ugly, so he couldn't help turning cold, "Why did Mr. He say that? Sun Zheng is Cui'er's savior. Isn't it right for Cui'er to come over to express his gratitude? Mr. He, please don't insult me." Tweety."

He Jiahao didn't expect that Zhang Chi, who had been smiling all the time, became serious, with a bit of majesty.But he felt awkward, coupled with his old-fashioned thinking, what he said was still not very pleasant.

"She is a girl, if she wants to keep people from gossiping, she must always pay attention and not give others any excuses."

Zhang Chi grew up in the new era, and the idea of ​​equality between men and women has long been deeply rooted in his heart. In addition, he is a twin, and he is often discussed by others, so he especially doesn't like to hear such words from He Jiahao.

He smiled coldly, "I am not afraid of the slanting shadow, I believe in Sun Zheng, and I also believe in Tweety!"

After finishing speaking, he bowed his head to settle accounts and ignored He Jiahao.

He Jiahao stood there in embarrassment, watching Zhang Chi settle the accounts, greet the guests,

Feeling bored, he turned around and was about to leave. When he walked to the door, he happened to meet Sun Zheng entering the door.

As soon as he entered the door, Sun Zheng shouted loudly: "Zhang Chi, it's snowing!"

This voice made the remaining guests look up, and one guest who was closer to the door got up and walked to the door, opened the curtain and looked out.

Through the door curtain, He Jiahao saw the snowflakes flying outside. The goose-feather-like flakes were black and whirled with the wind and fell to the ground, then disappeared without a trace, and the ground was already wet.

Zhang Chi raised his head, blinked, and said with a smile, "Why are you making such a fuss, as if you've never seen snow before."

Sun Zheng touched the back of his neck and smiled, "I really haven't seen it much."

Zhang Chi remembered that he was from Anqiu, and he thought it would be warmer there than here.

"Did you send Tweety back?"

"Yeah." After Sun Zheng finished speaking, he said, "I told her that my wound has healed a lot, so I don't need to come here again, lest people gossip."

Zhang Chi gave him a blank look, this guy, does he know why he came here? He is really single!

He wanted to remind a few words, but there happened to be a customer coming to check out, so he changed the subject.Maybe it was snowing outside, and the guests couldn't sit still, and they came to check out one after another, so he couldn't care about it.

When he turned around, Sun Zheng went to clear the table, and He Jiahao was gone.

This He Jiahao is really strange!If you like Jiang Tinglan, just go after him. What are you doing here?However, he and Jiang Tinglan are innocent, and there is no need to explain anything to him.

The next day, Tweety came again early in the morning. Although Sun Zheng said he didn't want her to come, after she came, the smile on his face obviously increased.

Zhang Chi shook his head, this guy obviously likes him but doesn't know it.I hope he can wake up soon!

The door curtain rang again, he looked up to see who came so early, but he saw that it was He Jiahao who entered the door.

Yesterday, they had nothing to do with each other, and broke up unhappy. Zhang Chi didn't want to greet him, so he pretended not to see him, and sat behind the counter with his head bowed to settle accounts.

Sun Zheng naturally didn't know anything, and went to entertain He Jiahao as usual.He Jiahao didn't say anything, just looked at him a few more times, and ordered a pot of Pu'er and a plate of dim sum.

Zhang Chi paid attention to He Jiahao, but He Jiahao only drank tea and ate snacks.After a pot of tea was finished, he paid the bill and left.

In the afternoon when Zhang Chi was telling stories, He Jiahao came again, still sitting in that corner, drinking tea and listening to stories quietly.When the story was over, he left.

Zhang Chi didn't want to know what he wanted to do, so he became an extra customer, which was fine.

On the third day, Zhang Chi finished the last section of Journey to the West.

"Everyone, this story is completely over, thank you very much for your support. Today's tea and drinks are [-]% off."

Sui Yuzhang was already very familiar with him, and he smiled and shouted: "It's only [-]% off! It's cheaper!"

Zhang Chi said with a smile: "If you want to get cheap, wait for the boss to come back, at least [-]% off."

"Zhang Chi, do you miss the boss?"

Zhang Chi was not shy in the slightest, and nodded generously, "Yes! It's like three autumns if we don't see each other for a day. My boss and I have been gone for almost ten days. Do the math, how many years have passed?"

Everyone in the lobby laughed.

Someone said: "Zhang Chi, is this the end of this story? I really want to listen to it again from beginning to end."

Someone chimed in: "I haven't listened to it for a few days, and I want to listen to it again!"

But some people said: "I want to hear a new story, Zhang Chi, what story are you going to tell tomorrow?"

"Zhang Chi, come up with a new story! It's more interesting than this Journey to the West!"

Zhang Chi smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, there will definitely be a new story tomorrow! Starting tomorrow, I will speak twice a day, the same in the morning and afternoon, so you won't miss it."

"Great! We'll keep coming to listen."

After so many days of exercise, Zhang Chi's voice has adapted and will no longer be hoarse.Even so, before leaving, Gu Xihe bought several bottles of honey and put them in the teahouse, and told Zhang Chi to drink it every day.

Zhang Chi didn't like sweet drinks, so he said with a wry smile, "Xihe, if you drink too much, you'll get diabetes."

"What is diabetes?"

Zhang Chi couldn't explain to him, so he could only nod in agreement.

Zhang Chi chatted with the guests casually, but saw He Jiahao walking towards him.

It's a customer when you enter the door, not to mention that He Jiahao spends more than ten yuan every time he comes, so he can be regarded as a big customer.Zhang Chi stood up politely, and asked with a smile, "Master He, are you going back?"

But He Jiahao said: "No, Zhang Chi, I want to discuss a business with you."

Zhang Chi blinked, "Talk about business with me? Mr. He doesn't seem to sell tea at home."

"Yes. What I want to talk to you about is not the tea business."

On the second day of He Jiahao's visit, Zhang Chi learned about He Jiahao's family background from Cui Jingshun and Cui Er.He is the youngest son of He Yuanwai, a wealthy family in the town. He has been studying since he was a child, and he is quite talented. He was admitted as a scholar last year.He has an older brother, several years older than him, who takes care of the family business.

Cui Jingshun stroked his beard and said, "I heard that the magistrate is very fond of him, and invited him to his house a few days ago. There are rumors that he will be the son-in-law of the Jiang family! Cui'er, is this the rumor? real?"

Tweety shook her head, "I don't know either, it depends on what Miss wants. Master dotes on Miss very much, if Miss doesn't want to, Master won't force him."

Hearing Tweety'er's words, Zhang Chi had a good impression of the county magistrate whom he had never met before. In this era, marriage is the order of parents, and parents who respect their children's wishes are rare.

He thought of that He Jiahao again, judging by his appearance, he was suitable for Miss Jiang.It's just that the thinking is too stubborn and conservative.

Because he knew that He Jiahao had studied since childhood and was not involved in his own business, so he was surprised to hear that He Jiahao came to talk to him about business at this time.

"What business do you want to talk about?"

He Jiahao looked at the teahouse lobby, there were still many guests.

He lowered his voice and said, "Zhang Chi, can we talk alone?"

"of course can."

Zhang Chi took He Jiahao into the lounge inside.

He Jiahao entered the room, took a look around, and then sat down on the chair.

The room is not big, a wooden bed occupies half of it, and the remaining space has a desk, a chair, and a small cabinet.It is very clean and tidy. There are pens, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk. There is a short porcelain vase next to it, with three red chrysanthemums inside, making the small room a little more warm and lively.

He Jiahao looked at the books on the table, the top one was the book of tea.

Zhang Chi sat down on the bed, "Master He, can you talk now? Do you want to do business with me?"

He Jiahao said: "Zhang Chi, did you come up with the story you told, or did you read it in a book?"

More than one person has asked Zhang Chi this question, and Zhang Chi has already thought of the answer.

"I figured it out myself."

He Jiahao looked at Zhang Chi for a long time, as if he didn't believe it.Zhang Chi was not guilty, and looked at him calmly.

Because of Zhang Chi's calmness, He Jiahao believed Zhang Chi's words.

"Since it's the story you came up with yourself, it's much simpler. Zhang Chi, can you sell me the story?"

After hearing He Jiahao's words, Zhang Chi suddenly understood what he wanted to do?

"You want my story to be published as a book?"

He Jiahao didn't expect that Zhang Chi could guess his intentions, and after a moment of surprise, he nodded immediately.

"Correct."

Zhang Chi also thought about it before, the reason why he didn't do it, one is that he doesn't have so much funds, and the other is that he doesn't know the education situation of the people here.If most people are illiterate, who will read his book when he publishes it?

Zhang Chi naturally expressed his concerns.

He Jiahao smiled and said, "I've also thought about the problem you mentioned. There are indeed many people in the Daming Dynasty who have never read a book, or even illiterate. It's just that I don't sell my books to them."

"Didn't you sell it to them?" Zhang Chi was really surprised this time, "Then who did you sell it to?"
