embarrassment for man and wife

Chapter 152 New Store

The opening of Taoshe Yaju, the people who came to support it far exceeded Zhuohua's expectations, not to mention that after he and Xie Jun got off the carriage, he could still see many people rushing from a distance. It looks like an endless stream.

The two went around to the back door, and when they entered through the back door, the Chen family, Li Mu and others inside were already dizzy with their work, and many of them were servants drawn out by Wang Yan from the general's mansion.

Everyone was busy making preparations, even the two younger sisters had things to do, only Zhuohua, he looked around with wide eyes, every time he wanted to help, he would always be cut off and asked to let him Going to rest on the side, facing such a situation, Zhuohua was also a little weak, Xie Junnan just smiled, he settled Zhuohua in a corner on the side and sat down, then went to the lobby to check the situation with Ziqing, after he was busy, he was busy Everyone seemed to have found their respective positions.

When the time came, Xie Junnan came over to call Zhuohua, and all the people went towards the door, ready to unveil the plaque. Until this moment, Zhuohua's originally listless eyes suddenly brightened.

In front of the gate of Taoshe Yaju, shopkeeper Li bowed with both hands, and said libretto to the crowd who came to cheer. On the left and right sides of the gate, there were servants holding firecrackers, ready to light the red firecrackers at any time.

Zhuohua and Xie Junnan stood in front of the crowd. He heard the voice of shopkeeper Li and invited the plaque of Taoshe Yaju. He was curious about what the plaque looked like when he heard someone discussing in a low voice behind him.

"I heard that the plaque of Taoshe Yaju was written by the Four Gentlemen! There are even many authentic works of the Four Gentlemen hanging inside!".

Huh?

Zhuo Hua was suspicious, turned his head slightly and looked back.

Another person at the back also said in a low voice: "The calligraphy of these four gentlemen is always hard to find in the market. I don't know who the owner of this wine shop is, but he is able to hire the calligraphy of the four gentlemen, and let the four gentlemen personally buy it for the wine shop. Plaques give characters".

"Maybe the masters behind this restaurant are these four gentlemen?"

"Come on, a pair of calligraphy of these four gentlemen is worth thousands of gold, how could he spend any more time to get Laoshizi wine shop?" Someone interrupted firmly, guessing: "It is probably the owner of this wine shop, who is friendly with the four gentlemen It is very shallow, so you can invite the calligraphy of these four gentlemen."

"That's true, but today I am lucky enough to see the calligraphy of the Four Gentlemen with my own eyes, and I will have no regrets in this life!".

The few people behind were still discussing endlessly, and even another person joined in, revealing in words that they wanted to spend a lot of money to buy the authentic works of these four gentlemen, but they had nowhere to go, and they also said that they didn't know the things in this wine shop, would they be willing to give up their love? and so on.

Zhuo Hua listened, raised his eyebrows secretly, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Xie Junnan.

"What's wrong?" Xie Junnan was suspicious.

Zhuo Hua's face was a little complicated: "These four gentlemen... are they really so powerful? A painting is hard to find?".

A smile appeared in Xie Junnan's eyes: "If you like it, I'll buy some for you to enjoy some other day?".

"No." Zhuohua shook his head quickly, and Fu said in Xie Junnan's ear, "I just heard some people behind say that the paintings of the Four Gentlemen are in the market, and they look like they can't be bought even if they have money...".

"Well, it's true." Xie Junnan nodded solemnly.

Zhuohua's expression suddenly became more complicated: "If that's the case, then if his things are hung in the wine shop so carelessly, will it... cause some disaster? Like being robbed or something?".

Hearing this, Xie Junnan couldn't help laughing, he patted Zhuohua's head: "Don't worry, this kind of thing won't happen".

The two were talking, and shopkeeper Li in front had already finished his opening remarks. By the side door, two young servants heard the order and came forward with a heavy plaque covered with red cloth, which only caused everyone to stretch. scratched his neck, wanting to see if this is the authentic work of the Four Gentlemen.

Zhuohua listened to the voices of the people, and looked at the reactions of the people around him, he subconsciously smiled, but after turning his head again, Zhuohua was stunned.

Xie Junnan kept paying attention to him, and seeing that he was still distracted at this moment, he called him again: "The plaque will be unveiled soon, why are you still looking around?".

"It's nothing, it's just... I don't seem to see Lianying."

"Maybe it was delayed by something, and I should come later."

Zhuohua thought about it, and when he turned his head again, shopkeeper Li bowed to the crowd and shouted loudly: "I invite the owner to uncover the plaque!".

Everyone applauded instantly, and Zhuo Hua subconsciously looked at Ziqing who was standing beside Li Mu.Ziqing suddenly encountered such a situation, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, he was forced to blush for a while, and looked straight at Xie Junnan, but Xie Junnan only looked down at Zhuohua, as if he didn't like Ziqing's eyes. Sleep.

Ziqing suddenly became anxious.

Shopkeeper Li didn't seem to notice anything, he just smiled and approached Ziqing: "Boss, please remove the plaque."

In a word, everyone around couldn't help but want to see the authentic works of the Four Gentlemen, and they also shouted to reveal the plaque. Ziqing seemed to be driven to the shelves. He coughed lightly and tried hard to calm down.Turning her head to look at her parents, and seeing them nodding to him with a smile, Ziqing took a deep breath and walked closer.

"Then...then I will reveal the plaque...".

Everyone booed and asked him to reveal it quickly.Even Xie Junnan looked at him and nodded secretly at this moment, signaling for him to reveal the plaque. Ziqing's heart sank, as if he had stabilized a little, then he reached out and pinched the corner of the red cloth, waved his hand, and with a shua, the red cloth When it was lifted, the plaque revealed inside was dark red and staggered at the bottom, with peach blossom marks printed on it, and golden peach tree branches were outlined on the top of the black frame on the edge. Big characters, the handwriting is vigorous and advantageous, the pen is sharp but elegant, and the gold-plated color only makes the whole plaque magnificent and full of charm. Next to Taoshe Yaju, there are also two lines of scrawled small characters, and the red seal at the bottom, It is the special seal of the Four Gentlemen, a seal like the imprint of a stone.

"Is this really the handwriting of the Four Gentlemen?".

"This handwriting is not vulgar at first glance. The handwriting is connected with each other, but it is arrogant and arrogant. This is the handwriting of the Four Gentlemen! No one else can imitate this handwriting!".

"Everyone knows that not only is the original handwriting of the Four Gentlemen difficult to copy, but the handwriting is even more elusive, especially if there is a discrepancy between the handwriting and the handwriting. There are such handwriting!"

A plaque made everyone discuss and praise again and again.But Ziqing didn't seem to hear it. After uncovering the plaque, the servants on both sides of the gate immediately lit the firecrackers, then turned and ran away. In an instant, the crackling sound echoed deafeningly on the Xuanwu Street, which directly irritated everyone. Shopkeepers in the distance stretched their heads to look around.

Standing beside Xie Junnan, Zhuo Hua covered his ears with his hands, watching as the firecrackers exploded, the smoke was instantly swirling around him, and he couldn't hear the sound at all. When Xie Junnan turned his head to look at him, he subconsciously stretched out his hand to embrace him In his arms, it seemed that he was afraid that he would be hurt by firecrackers, Zhuohua thought for a while, and simply reached out to help Xie Junnan cover his ears, Xie Junnan pursed his lips and smiled, and then raised his hands to cover Zhuohua's ears.

The bright red firecrackers, a long string, were let off for a long time before giving up. The crackling sound shook everyone's ears, and there was still a buzzing echo. The green smoke dispersed, and the ground was red, more It seemed that there was joy at the gate.

After a while, Ziqing seems to have adjusted himself. After the boy climbed up the ladder and hung the plaque, he secretly suppressed his breath, stepped forward again, and bowed deeply to everyone: "Today The new store is open, thank you for your support. Today, all the expenses in the store will be half price, and there will also be free gifts to check the sweet soup! I hope you can take care of me in the future, and I, Li, will be very grateful! Everyone! Inside, please!".

After saying a word, the door opened, and everyone entered in an orderly manner. At the gate, Ziqing greeted everyone in person, and everyone bowed to each other and congratulated each other, before entering the hall.

Mrs. Chen, Li Mu and the others also entered, and they were busy in the lobby with Shopkeeper Li, while the reception at the door was temporarily handed over to Ziqing.

Zhuo Hua and Xie Junnan had been waiting outside, waiting for almost everyone to go in, before he stepped forward with a smile: "Second brother, were you nervous just now?".

Ziqing took a long breath, then smiled and said, "Fortunately, I don't feel nervous anymore after I'm over nervous."

Zhuohua laughed.

Xie Jun bowed to Ziqing in Nanchao: "Congratulations on the opening of the new store."

"You..." Ziqing was slightly taken aback.

Xie Junnan acted as if he stayed out of the matter: "Dong Li's family is busy, we don't need to say hello to our own people."

Ziqing was surprised, but before he had time to ask, Xie Junnan took Zhuohua into his arms and went straight into the gate. Ziqing hurriedly caught up, when a servant came over and called him: "Second young master, the people from the county lord's mansion are here."

Ziqing was shocked, turned his head suddenly, and saw the carriage of the county lord's mansion, which was slowly driving towards this side, Ziqing didn't dare to be distracted, and rushed forward.

In the carriage, the man who got out first was a man who was about the same age as Ziqing. He got into the carriage, looked at Ziqing with a smile on his face, and just nodded slightly, another person got out from the carriage. But this person is a slender woman with a top hat on her head.

Ziqing seemed to be taken aback for a moment, a little afraid of being abrupt, and quickly took two steps back. Just as he stopped, the two turned to the carriage together, and greeted the other person in the carriage.

It was a lady in her forties, dressed luxuriously, with a graceful demeanor all over her body. When she got out of the carriage, she turned her head first, and looked towards the Taoshe Yaju, and saw the sign on the plaque. Handwriting, she pursed her lips and nodded with a smile.

Ziqing had never seen these three people before, but after hearing what the young man said just now, he also knew who these three people were, so he immediately bowed to the three people and saluted: "The opening of the small shop today, I never thought that the county magistrate would be alarmed. Young master and miss, I really didn't entertain you well."

"Young Master Li, you're so polite." The man smiled and looked at Ziqing's gaze, with some vaguely meaningful explorations, as if he was very satisfied with Ziqing's move to back off just now: "Taoshe Yaju opened, so It’s reasonable, we should also come to join us, it’s a small gesture of respect.”

The servant behind the man came forward holding a rectangular dark red wooden box. Ziqing was slightly startled, and when he was about to refuse, the county magistrate suddenly said: "Give it from the elders, but don't give it. This gift is not from Tonghua." I gave it to you, but I gave it to you, accept it."

Ziqing was slightly startled, and secretly guessed that Tonghua must be the man's name. Seeing the county magistrate's unrestrained appearance, Ziqing had no choice but to give up, and bowed deeply to the county magistrate again: "So, that son I would like to thank the county lord."

The servant stepped forward, took the box, and held it in his arms carefully,

The county magistrate nodded in satisfaction, and said: "I heard before that there is a peach forest planted in Taoshe Yaju, I wonder if it is convenient for us to go over and have a look?" Saying so, the county magistrate pulled the girl with a top hat beside her and Said: "Liuli and her brother have always loved this peach tree. I heard that there is also a peach tree in this peach house, so I want to come and have a look."

"Of course there are." Ziqing didn't lift his eyelids, just looked at the county magistrate, and said lightly: "I'll take you there, through the side door. Now there are a lot of people gathered at the main door, but the side door has to Much quieter."

"Very good." The county magistrate nodded in satisfaction, but her eyes were fixed on Ziqing, which made Ziqing somewhat confused about whether she was talking about Taolin or something else.

Unexpectedly, Ziqing didn't go, turned around, only kept a certain distance from the county master and others, and led them to the side door. Tong Hua looked at Ziqing's picture from the beginning to the end, and was very polite. Considering his sister's reputation, he had a smile in his eyes, lowered his head and whispered into his sister's ear: "Good eyesight".

The younger sister paused, but ignored him, but the county master noticed the abnormality of their brother and sister, and turned his head to cast a warning glance at his son.The man coughed lightly, and obediently stepped back and stood still, as if nothing had happened.
