It rains heavily during the Qingming Festival, and pedestrians on the road feel like they are dying.
On the outskirts of Qiantang, a "Zhao's Tea House" welcomed a group of uninvited guests in the spring rain.
"Sister Pan'er, why do you think they are here again?"
"Who?" Zhao Paner, who was settling accounts behind the counter, stopped and looked at Ge Zhaodi in front of him.
This was when she left Tokyo that year. On the road, she met a little girl who was being sold to Renyazi by her father. She simply rescued her. She originally planned to send her to the "welfare home" run by the Li family. But the disgraced little girl was determined to follow her, so she simply brought her back.
Now a few years have passed, and the girl who was unkempt and looked like a beggar has grown into a young and beautiful little beauty. She also said goodbye to her wizened figure like a bean sprout and gradually became more and more curvy.
Of course, it can't be compared with Zhao Pan'er, who is now in her early twenties and has completely grown up, and can even be said to be mature.
Although she is not married, in order to avoid trouble and for some reasons in her heart, she still wears her hair in a woman's bun. I don't know if it is because of her mentality, or because she has eaten more freely in recent years, and her body has become plumper. It seems that she is developing in the direction of Concubine Yang in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
Of course, if two beauties open a teahouse like this, they will inevitably attract the covetous attention of interested people.
But over the years, many of the troubles, whether they were overt or covert, had been resolved before they even knew about it.
Ge Zhaodi was very surprised by this, and often asked Zhao Pan'er if he knew any important people and what his background was, but she always dismissed it with a smile.
Of course she knew in her heart who this was all because of.
only……
Ge Zhaodi smiled and said, "It's that group of men in black. Sister Pan'er said they don't look like good people. Sister Pan'er also said they are police officers, but why are they different from the government?"
Zhao Pan'er shook his head and said, "I'm here as soon as I come. I just came here to drink tea and take shelter from the rain. Let them go."
But Ge Zhaodi suddenly came up to her mysteriously and said, "Sister Pan'er, I think they are not just here to drink tea and take shelter from the rain, at least not for that leader."
Zhao Pan'er frowned slightly, looked at her and said calmly: "I think you really have nothing to do. If so, go in and clean up the backyard first. Every time it rains, it will be a mess."
Ge Zhaodi muttered: "Every time you just use this kind of talk to block me, I think the troubles in our teahouse might have been solved by them. That leader is obviously interested in you, Sister Pan'er..."
Zhao Pan'er said angrily: "Why don't you go quickly?"
Ge Zhaodi stuck out her tongue and immediately didn't dare to say any more. She knew that if she continued speaking, it would be too much and would make her angry.
However, she had a lot of good things going on in her mind. It was a pity that there was no one in the teahouse to talk to her, otherwise she could help analyze them together.
It is true as Zhao Pan'er said, staying in this teahouse all day long without any entertainment activities would just make you feel idle.
At her age, she is very quiet and restless, and since she was rescued by Zhao Pan'er, she has not encountered any difficulties in the years. Her earlier experiences have long been forgotten, so naturally she can only think about it all the time. Some have nothing to do for their own entertainment.
Sometimes she even teases Zhao Pan'er on purpose. The more serious Zhao Pan'er is, the more teasing pleasure she feels.
Of course, she was indeed a little curious and a little envious of the group of men in black outside, especially the leading man who looked very heroic.
To talk about the cause, it was that a group of guests made trouble in the teahouse before, made rude remarks to her, and teased her with hands and feet. Then that person took action to teach them a lesson and drove them away. It was a typical story of a hero saving a beauty.
Although Ge Zhaodi couldn't say that she fell in love at first sight, she did have a good impression.
The most important thing is that this man is also good-looking, but Ge Zhaodi always feels that he seems to treat sister Pan'er a little differently.
"Zhao Di, go out and get some drinks..."
"Hey, here we come!"
Their teahouse usually doesn't serve alcohol, but the group of people outside seem to be happy without alcohol, and as long as they pay enough for running errands, she certainly doesn't mind helping to buy alcohol. Anyway, the money is worth it. My sister doesn't want it, it all goes into her private pocket.
It’s also a habit I developed in my early years. If I don’t save some money to be prepared for emergencies, I always feel uneasy.
And now the light rain outside is not a hindrance to Ge Zhaodi. She is not a spoiled young lady, but is used to doing odd jobs and running errands. Her hands and feet are covered with calluses, and her original beautiful face has been diminished by the wind and sun. A few points.
Sometimes she even joked to sister Pan'er that if she couldn't get married in the future because of this, she would have to take responsibility.
"Um?"
But when she was halfway there, through the mist and rain, Ge Zhaodi saw a group of people walking in front of her, but they were heading towards the tea house.
These people were fighting in a big battle, and their momentum was huge. Just looking at Ge Zhaodi made her feel faintly worried about being oppressed.
She had a bad premonition, so she didn't even want to buy a drink, so she turned around and ran back to the teahouse.
Those men in black had been here many times and were familiar with her. A man who had just called for a drink saw her panting but came back empty-handed. He couldn't help but be surprised and said: "What are you seeing? It's scary." Like this?"
Ge Zhaodi said hastily: "A group is here... I don't know who they are, but they look scary. You didn't attract them, right?"
"Xiao Nizi can't speak, so why did we attract her?"
"Forget it. Seeing how scared she is, stop scaring her. I'll go tell the commander..."
The leader was sitting alone at a table at the end, drinking tea. He was completely unaware of the raindrops hitting his feet and was calm as usual.
When his subordinates went to report, he just raised his eyelids and said "hmm", then looked out and narrowed his eyes slightly.
But Ge Zhaodi had already ran to the counter at this time and went to Zhao Pan'er to talk about the matter.
Unexpectedly, her sister Pan'er, instead of panicking at all, seemed to have some joy in her eyes.
But she immediately calmed down, and Ge Zhaodi rubbed her eyes and almost thought she had seen it wrong.
"Sister Pan'er, what should we do now?"
"What do you mean?"
"Are they the bad guys attracted by those people outside?"
Zhao Pan'er said with a smile: "What are you thinking about? What happened to you? Why did you become a bad person before you did anything?"
Ge Zhaodi murmured, but seeing Zhao Pan'er like this, she was a little helpless but could only believe in choosing her. After all, their teahouse had encountered many big and small troubles over the years, but in the end it was okay. This shows that Zhao Pan'er's stable position in Diaoyutai is also I have confidence in my heart.
"Okay, get ready to go out and entertain the guests."
Ge Zhaodi ran in a hurry, and only then did people know that there was a group of people approaching, and that the target was indeed the teahouse here.
Although Ge Zhaodi was a little worried and scared after hearing this, looking at Zhao Paner's determined expression, she still stomped around and ran out.
And Zhao Pan'er looked at the curtain where her back disappeared, and could vaguely see the figures of people outside at this time, but her heart couldn't help but beat violently, she put her hands in her arms and whispered: "Do you still know how to come here?"
