The current Tongfu Inn is different from the one in the play.
The Tongfu Inn in the play was founded by the scholar's ancestors and has a history of several decades, so it looks shabby and old. Even the people in the store said that compared with the Yihong Building opposite, Tongfu Inn is just a pigsty.
Moreover, the business of Tongfu Inn is not good either. The most they can earn per day is six cents. Therefore, after Tong Bo arrived, he saw the situation at Tongfu Inn and was very dissatisfied, thinking that his daughter was living a hard life.
But it's different now.
After a comprehensive renovation, Tongfu Inn has become magnificent, graceful and luxurious. It is the best inn within a hundred miles. And the business volume is also booming, making thousands of taels of silver a year.
To be honest, he earns no less than Longmen Escort Agency.
When Tong Boda saw this scene, she was naturally happy for her daughter.
"It's just normal. I'll make some money in the future. I'm also thinking about opening a branch and expanding my business." Tong Xiangyu said proudly after receiving a rare compliment from his father.
"Oh, making money is secondary. The most important thing is your life-long event." Tong Boda sighed, "Daughter, I came here this time to take you back to Hanzhong. I will give you a new husband's family so that you won't be alone. , you still have to show your face and do business.”
"..." After hearing what he said, everyone was stunned.
"Well, I'm not going back. Well, if I'm going back, what's going on with this store?" Tong Xiangyu said immediately.
"Just sell it, just in time to make a dowry for you." Tong Boda said, "After you get married in the future, you will definitely have to raise your husband and raise your children, so how can you have time to open a store."
"Dad, I'm already married, so you don't have to worry about me anymore." Tong Xiangyu said aggrievedly.
She had really had enough of being controlled by her father at home, and still being controlled by her father when she was married.
"Well, no matter what, who cares? There are a lot of disputes in front of the widow." Tong Boda sighed, "Well, it's all for your own good."
"Whatever you say, I just won't go back." Tong Xiangyu insisted.
"What?! I haven't seen you for a few years and you have learned how to kick your head. You see, I can't hit you on the forehead. You will flip over and run away with your head in your arms." When Tong Boda saw that she didn't listen, she raised her hand and was about to hit someone.
"You beat me, you beat me." Tong Xiangyu was filled with grievances.
"Old man, old man, calm down and speak slowly." Seeing this, Xiang Nan quickly blocked the way and winked at Xiao Guo, asking her to take the shopkeeper away first.
Bai Zhantang and Xiucai also quickly followed up to persuade him.
…
"Do you see what this is like? You don't want to listen anymore. No matter how wild the horse is, its hair is smoother than hers." Tong Boda complained to Xiang Nan.
"Yes, sir, please calm down." Xiang Nan smiled and poured a cup of tea, "Drink some water first to moisten your throat."
"Well, you're not bad, young man." Boda Tong nodded and took a sip of tea.
"Old man, I understand you very well. As a parent, who doesn't hope that their children will be well?" Xiang Nan said with a smile, "You hope that the shopkeeper will get married and have children, have a happy marriage, and have a happy family. These are the best ideas. "
"Hey, you kid should be fair." Tong Boda nodded.
"Old man, you don't know something. Our shopkeeper looks like the same person, but in fact we have been in love for a long time." Xiang Nan leaned into his ear again and whispered.
"What, what did you say? Say it again!" Tong Boda said excitedly upon hearing this.
"Don't get excited, and don't misunderstand. There's nothing wrong with them. They just love each other and have each other in their hearts, but they haven't done anything inappropriate." Xiang Nan said, "And the man is also single and has not yet been married. Yellow flower young man."
"Really?!" Tong Boda asked doubtfully upon hearing this.
"Of course it's true." Xiang Nan nodded, "How dare I lie to you."
"Then who is her crush?" Tong Boda asked curiously, "Could it be you?"
"How can I be so lucky?" Xiang Nan said with a smile, "He is the waiter in our store. Even though he is just a little boy, he is actually very skilled in martial arts, and he is good at light kung fu and acupuncture."
Tong Boda thought for a while, the waiter just now was handsome, youthful and seemed to be quite talented.
"How long have they been healed?" Tong Boda asked immediately.
"More than two years." Xiang Nan explained.
"Then why hasn't it been decided yet?" Tong Boda frowned.
We have been together for two years and we still haven’t settled down yet. Are we trustworthy?
"To tell you the truth, my brother made some mistakes when he was young, but he has corrected them a long time ago. It's just that he can't get through it. He is always worried that he will be blamed for it in the future and will not be able to give us the happiness of the shopkeeper. That's why he I've been putting it off for a while," Xiang Nan explained.
"That's okay. Anyone who didn't make some mistakes when he was young, as long as he targets his daughter, he won't dislike him even if he is a murderer." Tong Boda waved his hand boldly.
The escort agency was in the business of licking blood with the tip of a knife. No one had ever killed or fought before. In his opinion, this was not a problem.
"Old man, you are so open-minded." Xiang Nan flattered you, "But let me advise you again. The shopkeeper's character is soft on the outside but strong on the inside. Even if you are worried about her marriage, you can't bluff, scare, beat or scold her in a hurry. It's not good enough.
Let's talk and communicate well. You and the shopkeeper are not unreasonable people. As long as we talk things out, I believe everything will be easy to discuss. What do you think? "
"You are a sensible kid." Tong Boda nodded, "Okay, go and tell her, uh, don't hit her. Um, talk to her."
"Hey, okay, thank you, old man, you are really enlightened." Xiang Nan smiled and then came to the backyard.
…
When I came to the backyard and Xiao Guo's room, I saw Tong Xiangyu sitting on the kang wiping her tears.
Xiao Guo, Xiucai, and Lao Bai all gathered around her to persuade her.
"Shopkeeper, stop crying. Now is not the time to cry. We should think about what to do."
"Yes, you really want to sell the store. We did it with great difficulty."
"Xiangyu, as long as you say a word, I will take action to drive him away."
They talked all over the place.
"Oh, please stop arguing, can you please calm down?" Tong Xiangyu said irritably.
Naturally, she didn't want to sell the store and leave, but she knew that she couldn't handle her father's temper. Even if she didn't want to sell the store or leave, there was no other way.
"I'm telling you, this is a time of life and death. We must unite and think of a way to see what to do." Bai Zhantang said, then chewed his nails and thought about it.
Guo Furong and Lu Xiucai both thought about it.
At this moment, Xiang Nan opened the door and walked in.
"Don't think about it, I have a way." He said.
"Big Mouth, what can you do?" After hearing what he said, everyone looked at him in unison.
"Actually, it's very simple. The reason why Mr. Tong wants to take the shopkeeper back to Hanzhong is because he is worried about her marriage." Xiang Nan said, "Then as long as the shopkeeper has a partner, we will get married."
"Yes, that's a good idea." Guo Furong smiled immediately after hearing this.
"The idea is indeed good, but where can I find a partner?" Lu Xiucai asked worriedly.
"Stupid, people are not ready-made." Xiang Nan looked at Lao Bai and said.
Hearing what he said, everyone laughed.
