Chapter 224 224. Isn’t it impossible?
Huaishui Pier in Lin'an Prefecture has recently added an inn.
On the opening day, as usual, two red firecrackers were set off to celebrate. A man in his forties stood at the door with a smile to greet guests, and two waiters nearby distributed candies to the children passing by.
“Boss Ning has such a shrewd look on his face that even if you say he is not a businessman, you won’t believe him.”
“Isn’t it true? I heard that he had been doing business in his early years, and he only became a businessman in his forties. Planning to settle down.”
"The tables on the first floor of the inn were bought from the old Zhang family on the street. I saw them that day."
"The chef he hired was Guo Yishao from the West District, and his cooking was average. That stew is quite good.”
Since the weather has gradually warmed up, Huaishui Wharf has resumed its usual flow of people, and there is an endless stream of businessmen coming and going. When it gets late, they will randomly choose an inn to stay. .
Four or five inns are located side by side on the street facing the pier. Each one has similar business, but the recently added one was bustling for two days and soon became quiet.
This is an ordinary inn with a bit of uniqueness but not much.
The innkeeper was very satisfied with this.
Shen Xingluo, who was in the private room of the teahouse not far away, was also very satisfied.
There was a knocking sound on the wooden door. After receiving the response, the man outside the door walked in and said respectfully, "Sir, the matter has been settled."
"Did you attract the attention of others?"
"Captain Song was not suspicious."
Fuguang hesitated and said, "Sir, will the fifth prince really try the case of the former prefect?"
If there is no trial, the evidence they sent will probably become a pile of waste paper.
"This matter will be resolved in three days."
Shen Xingluo looked at the soldiers wearing armor downstairs, "They are often hanging around these days?"
"yes Captain Song was sending people to capture the daughter of the Zhou family who had escaped from prison. The people at Rongle Gambling House originally wanted to save the nephew of their boss, but they did not expect that the twins looked too alike and both wore prison uniforms and rescued the wrong person. .”
Rongle Gambling House is the property of Zhou Lesong's mother-in-law's family.
The boss of the gambling house is a ruthless character. He knows all the gangsters from all walks of life. He has been living a prosperous life after giving his sister to Zhou Lesong as his wife.
Now that the Zhou family has collapsed, and the gambling house has been involved in several murders and arson cases, it is no longer the past.
"My boss has been imprisoned, but these subordinates are very loyal."
Shen Xingluo stroked the tea cup and mocked, "In that case, send them to the prison to keep us company."
>
"Yes, Master."
Fuguang quickly disappeared into the box, leaving only one person thoughtful.
Some things are very different from the previous life.
For example, when he met Fuguang in his previous life, he was not only seriously injured but also had an extreme personality because he lost his only relative. Another example is that in his previous life, Zhou Lesong was staying at the Yamen safely, and the Zhou family was living well and not missing anyone.
But some things never change.
For example, although the twins look exactly alike, their intelligence is exactly the opposite.
Rather than saying that Rongle Casino accidentally saved the wrong person, he believed that someone escaped with some excuse.
“Girl, you really don’t want to study medicine with me?”
“I don’t want to, I don’t want to learn, I don’t need it.”
Cheng Xi refused for the 101st time, her tone was serious and Be firm in your words.
However, the old man was too thick-skinned and would not give up until he achieved his goal. "You have to think about it. I don't know how many people in the world are begging me to accept them as disciples. I advise you to accept them as soon as possible."
"." So why do you always give up before I lose my temper, and then take it back when it's good?
Cheng Xi blinked curiously, "How many people are there?" "Let's put it this way, you can queue up from here to the gate of Fucheng!"
"Then just choose the one you like among many people to teach you."
Mr. Xu choked, and immediately blew his beard and glared, "Aren't they not smart enough? Do you think that just one person can be my apprentice?"
"Am I the only one who can make wine?"
< br>Cheng Xihao You are welcome to expose his real purpose of eating and drinking, "But there is something you said that makes sense."
"Which sentence?"
"Others are not as smart as me. ”
"." Why is this girl so thick-skinned?
"Little girls are not ashamed to say such things. Does anyone know that there is a world outside the world? If you don't say it from afar, your husband is smarter than you."
"Then you, sir Why not accept him as a disciple? "
Cheng Xi is really curious.
On the first day he moved into the Shen Family Courtyard, the old man discovered that Shen Xingluo knew basic pharmacology. He looked at him with admiration in his eyes these past few days. Shen Xingluo was smarter than her and had more basic knowledge than her. Being one year older than her, it stands to reason that he should be the first choice as a disciple.
Why did it fall on her?
Mr. Xu was silent for a moment, "He is not calm."
"."
Cheng Xi was startled and fell silent.
It turns out that she was not the only one aware of Shen Xingluo's anomaly.
This old man really has a keen eye.
"Studying medicine requires not only intelligence, but also kindness. Although you are not as smart as that kid, you have an advantage that he does not have."
Mr. Xu snorted, "You That man was lifeless all day long It's like God owes him his life and I'm afraid that one day he won't be able to think of using the medical skills I taught to poison a large number of people."
"."
Cheng Xi suddenly felt this. Isn't it impossible to guess?
"What's wrong with studying medicine with me? Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. You can save lives and heal the wounded and also gain a good reputation. It's not bad for you."
"."You may not know There is a saying in our country that when people are encouraged to learn medicine, they will be struck by lightning.
“This world is very harsh on women. With your background and multiple skills, you have multiple lives. If your husband doesn’t want you one day, you can still make some money to support yourself with your medical skills, right? ?”
“.”Thank you very much.
Cheng Xi Heixian, it was the first time he heard such fresh and refined words of advice.
She really doesn't want to study medicine.
After half a lifetime of 996 twists and turns in nearly ten years in his previous life, he finally overcame the evil spirits in the company and allowed the huge company left behind by his parents to move to a higher level. He died before he could enjoy the blessings.
Now that I finally have some free time, I have space and a system, so I don’t have to worry about food or drink. Isn’t it nice of me to teach my sister-in-law how to cook delicious food?
And he recognized his master for no reason. Seeing that at his age he would have to take care of himself until the end of his life. Cheng Xi said that he was very tired and really didn’t want to find something to do for himself.
After dinner, she put her chin on the table and casually mentioned it to Shen Xingluo.
"Why on earth does Mr. Xu insist on accepting me as his disciple? I told him that he has enough wine stewardship. Is it possible that he is afraid that no one will inherit his mantle?"
But this doesn't make sense. He is so old. The fact that there is no direct disciple is definitely not because of being too picky. There are still many smart people in Dayan, but Cheng Xi has never thought that she is the smartest one.
Of course, she is definitely one of a small group of smart people. She still has this confidence.
Shen Xingluo put down the book and mused, "Perhaps it was because Mr. Xu lived so casually when he was young that he forgot about his master's inheritance."
