Lin'an Prefecture Huaishui Wharf has recently added an inn.
On the day of the opening, two red firecrackers were set off as usual to celebrate. A man in his forties stood at the door with a smile to greet guests, and two waiters next to him distributed candies to the children passing by.
"Boss Ning has such a shrewd look on his face that even if he says he's not a businessman, you won't believe him."
"Isn't that true? I heard that he had been doing business in his early years and only planned to settle down in his forties."
"The tables on the first floor of the inn were bought from the old Zhang family on the street. I saw them that day."
"His chef is Guo Yishao from the West District. His cooking is average, but his soup is pretty good."
Since the weather has gradually warmed up, Huaishui Wharf has resumed its usual flow of people and businessmen. 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, and each one has similar business. However, the recently added one was bustling for two days and soon became quiet.
This is an ordinary inn with some features but not much.
The innkeeper was very satisfied with this.
Chen Xingluo, who was in the teahouse box 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 it attract anyone's attention?"
"Captain Song was not suspicious."
Fuguang hesitated and said, "Sir, the fifth prince really knows how to judge the former magistrate?"
If there is no trial, the evidence they send will probably become a pile of waste paper.
"This matter will be resolved in three days."
Chen Xingluo looked at the soldiers wearing armor downstairs, "They often hang around these days?"
"Yes, Lieutenant Song is sending people to arrest the daughter of the Zhou family who escaped from prison. The people from Rongle Gambling House originally wanted to rescue the nephew of the boss, but they didn't expect that the twins looked too alike and both wore prison uniforms to save the wrong one. Got people."
Rongle Gambling House is the property of Zhou Lesong's mother-in-law's family.
The boss of the gambling shop was a ruthless character, and there was no one he didn't know who was a ruthless gangster. He was 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 is in jail, but these men are very loyal."
Chen Xingluo stroked the teacup gently and mocked, "In that case, let's send them to the prison to keep them company."
"Yes, sir."
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 due to the loss of 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, with a serious tone and firm 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 my disciples. I advise you to accept them as soon as possible."
"..." So why do you always give up before I lose my temper, and just 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 puffed his beard and glared, "Then aren't they smarter than you? Do you think that just one person can be my apprentice?"
"Am I the only one who knows how to make wine?"
Cheng Xi bluntly exposed 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 tell me, your husband is smarter than you."
"Then why don't you accept him as your disciple?"
Cheng Xi is really curious.
The old man discovered that Shen Xingluo knew basic pharmacology on the first day he moved into the Shen family courtyard. He looked at him with admiration these days. Shen Xingluo was smarter than her, had more basic skills than her, and was only one year older than her. Years old, logically speaking, he should be the first choice for apprentice.
Why did it fall on her?
Mr. Xu was silent for a moment, "He is not at peace."
"..."
Cheng Xi was startled and fell silent.
It turned out that she was not the only one aware of Shen Xingluo's abnormality.
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, "Your husband has been lifeless all day long, as if God owes him his life and hasn't paid back. I'm afraid that one day he won't be able to think of using the medical skills I taught him to poison a large area."
"..."
Cheng Xi suddenly felt that this guess... was not impossible?
"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 won't do you any harm."
"..." You may not know that there is a saying in our country called "Encouraging people to learn medicine, the sky is thundering."
"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?"
"..." I really thank you.
Cheng Xi Heixian heard such fresh and refined words of advice for the first time.
She really doesn't want to study medicine.
In the previous life, I spent half my life and went through 996 for nearly ten years. I finally frightened the company's monsters and monsters, and made the huge company left by my parents move to a higher level. I was tortured to death before I had time to 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?
Moreover, 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 expressed 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 Chen 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. It's definitely not because he's so old that he doesn't have a direct disciple because he's 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 the few smart people, and she still has this confidence.
Chen Xingluo put down the book and mused, "Perhaps it's because Mr. Xu lived too casually when he was young, so much so that he forgot about his master's inheritance."
