Mr. Jin San left and did not stay in the teahouse anymore.
He had nothing but a wine bottle and a jade pendant in his hand.
That was left to him by his mother.
His biological mother was a concubine. She was not favored when she was in the palace, and she only gained such status after giving birth to him.
But that house with wide doors and deep space does not support people after all.
When he was still an infant, his mother suddenly became seriously ill and died that night.
He was brought up by his nanny since he was a child, and this jade pendant is her only relic.
The night was blurry, Jin San came to the pawn shop and pawned the jade pendant.
But when he arrived at the pawn shop, the jade pendant that originally cost more than twenty taels was only pawned for eighty taels of silver.
After telling the pawnshop owner that he would come to redeem the money in the future, he hurried away.
Jin San's face was as calm as the night.
He first went back to the teahouse, met with shopkeeper Zhuang and took out two taels of silver.
"Sanye Jin, what are you..." Shopkeeper Zhuang was a little confused.
Jin San handed the two taels of silver to the shopkeeper and said, "Excuse me, when Cao Fa comes on stage, the shopkeeper will reward him on my behalf. The rest of the lunch is to thank the shopkeeper for his recent care."
"Sanye Jin, where are you going?" Shopkeeper Zhuang said in a daze.
Jin San shook his head, turned around and left without saying anything more.
Shopkeeper Zhuang quickly chased after him.
"Master Jin!! Master Jin!!"
"Jin Sanye, don't get carried away!"
But no matter how hard he chased, he couldn't keep up with Mr. Jin.
The shopkeeper stopped on the street and panted. He could only raise his eyes and watch Mr. Jin gradually run away and disappear into the night.
Shopkeeper Zhuang glanced at the two taels of silver in his palm, feeling mixed emotions in his heart.
He sighed softly and returned to the teahouse alone.
…
When Cao Fa learned that Master Jin San had left, he felt extremely guilty.
He attributes it all to himself.
If he hadn't said those hurtful words that day, then Mr. Jin wouldn't have acted like this.
Cao Fa made inquiries in many places and searched almost the entire Qingshan City, but there was still no news.
One day, two days, half a month...
a month...
Cao Fa even searched outside Qingshan City and into the mountains and forests. Whenever there was a new grave, he would pay attention.
Nothing at all……
Cao Fa gave up completely.
Since then, he has never said a harsh word to anyone.
The guilt is always there in my heart and is hard to forget.
Shopkeeper Zhuang said: "Be more open-minded. You know Mr. Jin San, maybe he just went out."
Cao Fa said: "The shopkeeper doesn't need to comfort me, I know everything..."
Shopkeeper Zhuang couldn't help but sigh and said nothing more.
Because of Jin Sanye's incident, Cao Fa's supposed coming to power was delayed for nearly two months.
I don't know when Cao Fa also got into the habit of drinking. Shopkeeper Zhuang often saw him drinking Lingding so drunk that he fell unconscious.
But this situation is not always the case.
Gradually, Cao Fa drank less and less. He didn't forget, but put these things away and hid them in his heart.
He didn't want to let down Shopkeeper Zhuang, let alone Mr. Chen.
Autumn turns to winter in the blink of an eye.
There was a light snowfall in Qingshan City, and people coming and going were covered with a little bit of wind and frost.
Except for a few regulars, there were very few people in the teahouse. It was cold and fewer people were going out.
It was also on that snowy night that Shopkeeper Zhuang handed the copy of "Liao Zhai" to Cao Fa.
After more than half a year, the teahouse has a storyteller again.
"Snapped!"
At some point, Xingmu clicked on the table.
The guests in the teahouse looked up one after another, only to realize that there was a storyteller standing on the table that had been empty for a long time.
"I am the new storyteller in the teahouse."
"Cao Fa, I have met you all."
Everyone was stunned.
"Mr. Storyteller?"
"Something looks familiar."
"Isn't this, isn't this, man!"
"Dude, tell me a book?"
Everyone's expressions suddenly changed and they called out to the shopkeeper.
"Manager Zhuang, even if you can't find the storyteller, you can't just find someone to make up the numbers."
Shopkeeper Zhuang smiled apologetically and said, "How dare you? I'm afraid you don't know that the people on this stage have received the true message from Mr. Jiucha. You'll know it after listening to it for a while."
"Mr. Wine and Tea?"
"Who?"
Some later tea drinkers were a little surprised by this name.
After all, Mr. Jiucha has been gone for more than half a year.
But those who still remember their eyes lit up when they heard this and said, "Seriously!?"
"More real than real gold!" Shopkeeper Zhuang said with a smile.
"Okay, okay! Then...are you going to talk about "Liao Zhai"?"
"Listen." Shopkeeper Zhuang smiled.
But I saw the storyteller on the stage speaking.
"The predecessors had a book called "Liaozhai", also known as "The Legend of Ghost Fox", which has twelve volumes and more than 400 chapters. The book contains spirits, foxes, demons, immortals, Buddhas, ghosts and gods. Each chapter has its own merits. What Cao is talking about today is one of the chapters " rouge"."
Just saying this, the people in the audience were stunned for a moment.
Especially a long time ago.
Mr. Qingshan, who was standing on the stage, also said this at the beginning.
Liaozhai, Liaozhai...
"good!!"
There were actually people in the audience who slapped the table and stood up, excited.
Some people are at a loss and don’t understand what’s so good about it.
It's just an opening, so what good is it?
Cao Fa cupped his hand, and then began to tell the story in the book.
Not long after, everyone in the audience focused their attention on the storyteller.
After more than half a year, Cao Fa is now extraordinary. During these six months, he searched through books and found a senior storyteller in Qingshan City. He consulted many people for advice. His skills have been rounded and full, and every detail has been revealed. It was done just right, and the audience was applauding.
An article "Rouge", the old article is told again.
It brought back many memories, and many people in the audience couldn't help but feel in a daze.
They thought of "Nie Xiaoqian", "Liancheng", and the days when the teahouse was crowded and lively.
"picture……"
"so similar……"
Some people looked at Cao Fa dullly, thinking that Mr. Chen was back.
"He seems to be better than Mr. Wine and Tea back then!"
Everyone came back to their senses and took a closer look.
It seems so!
The gentleman on stage is indeed more powerful.
"Reward!"
On this day, the teahouse became in a hurry.
There were not many guests, but basketfuls of reward money were collected.
Niu Da couldn't help but be stunned. After Cao Fa stepped down, he pulled him and shouted excitedly: "Brother Cao! You're done! It's done!"
Cao Fa couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he looked at the reward money in the basket.
Only then did he realize it.
I'm afraid he is really going to become Mr. Cao.
"There is also a reward."
Shopkeeper Zhuang came over.
"Shopkeeper." Cao Fa bowed his hands respectfully.
Shopkeeper Zhuang put the one tael of silver into the basket.
Cao Fa was stunned, "Shopkeeper, you can't do this."
Shopkeeper Zhuang sighed: "This is what Mr. Jin left behind when he left. He said he would wait for you to come to power and let me take him to reward you..."
Cao Fa reached out and picked up the one tael of silver.
He looked at the one tael of silver in his palm and did not speak for a long time.
…
that night.
Cao Fa got so drunk that he fell into unconsciousness just like before.
While drunk, he was mumbling.
"Third Master, I really want to become Mr. Cao..."
"Are you still alive or not..."
