Xue Poye finally settled Mrs. Wang and the child in the "Dongfeng Pavilion".
Dongfeng Pavilion is the largest and most luxurious inn in Hangzhou. It is divided into halls and courtyards. Unlike ordinary inns with single rooms, Dongfeng Pavilion has independent rooms and small courtyards, and red flowers and green willows are planted in the courtyards.
The price of a good inn is naturally not cheap, one tael of silver a day.
Xue Poye first made an appointment for ten days, sending Mrs. Wang and the child to stay here first.
Mrs. Wang is naturally very grateful, but she is very self-cultivated, of course she will not kneel down to thank you, she just smiles and nods.
Xue Poye knew that Mrs. Wang didn't have much money, she could even be said to be penniless, so she said: "Madam, stay here for a few days first, and then go out to find a house. If you find a suitable place, Madam will move again." It was in the past." Immediately, he stuffed all the twenty taels of silver left on his body into Mrs. Wang's hands, and then left easily.
Mrs. Wang's eye circles were red, and she couldn't thank her enough.
Riding the golden lion, Xue Poye received the admiring gazes of passers-by along the way. Everyone knew that the hero who helped Mrs. Wang was riding a golden-haired horse, handsome and unrestrained.
Back to Lanyue Pavilion, I was really surprised. The small Lanyue Pavilion was already full, and the room was obviously full of people. Outside, many people were sitting on the ground, drinking on the spot, and many people were composing poems on the sidelines. Wait for a seat.
Seeing Xue Poye coming back, everyone saluted one after another, with admiring smiles on their faces. Xue Poye knew in his heart that these people obviously came to Lanyuexuan to support Mrs. Wang's affairs, and he felt a little emotional in his heart. Sometimes it is really worthwhile to do some good deeds, not only to gain fame, but also huge benefits are waiting, although my original intention is not to seek fame and fortune.
Take the horse to the stable, it's still early in the night, you have to clean it up, after all, there are a lot of people going to this banquet, it's not like Xiao Moting's small gathering with only a few eminent Confucians, big and small officials, writers and great Confucians For the farewell banquet, you can't drop the price too much, your handsome appearance and temperament are enough, and you still need to tidy up the clothes outside, and it is also worthy of this face.
The kitchen was naturally busy, Yuezhu, Lao Song's wife, Luo Dachun and all the masters were sweating profusely, and the running army led by Xiao Pinshi and Hu San was also shouting, creating a lively atmosphere.
Lao Song also shuttled back and forth, with wide-eyed smiles, seeing Xue Poye, and immediately shouted: "The shopkeeper, the shopkeeper, you have a great reputation, and everyone is praising your heroism!"
Xue Poye smiled lightly, and said leisurely: "The business looks really good today."
Old Song couldn't hide the smile all over his face, raised his thumb, and sighed: "Shopkeeper, I'm convinced, I'm really convinced."
Xue Poye felt a little complacent in his heart, and touched his nose pretendingly.
"However..." Lao Song showed a bit of worry: "Shopkeeper, our shop is still small. These days, every day is full of customers, and many customers have to wait. It's okay for a few days. If it takes a long time , I'm afraid that some guests will be angry, so I won't come here anymore."
Xue Poye frowned. I just saw this situation with my own eyes. It was true. Many guests were sitting outside on the ground, and there were still people waiting. Although there were many guests, there was no room for them.
Grandma's, what a happy trouble!
"Hmm...!" Xue Poye pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Hurry up, hurry up!"
Lao Tan wants to get along well with He Ruhui. Although he wants to show sincerity, He Ruhui must always show his closeness. When he becomes the prefect of Hangzhou, the whole Hangzhou can be said to be under his feet. Sometimes I asked for help in setting up two restaurants with good locations. This request should not be too much.
Lao Song touched his head and said strangely: "What's coming soon?"
Xue Poye smiled and said: "Old Song, this matter is about to be settled. I, the shopkeeper, am looking for a restaurant with a good location."
Although Lao Song was happy, he was not surprised. The young shopkeeper had given him too many surprises. He had no doubts about Xue Poye's ability. Lao Song also... er, probably wouldn't believe it, but Lao Song unconditionally believed that Xue Poye could get a few restaurants with excellent locations.
Xue Poye also ordered Lao Song to find a more elegant courtyard and rent it for a long time, so that Mrs. Wang and the child could live in it, and Lao Song naturally agreed repeatedly.
Yue Zhu kept looking at Xue Poye with a smile, her eyes were as gentle as water, no wonder she, Xue Poye's reputation spread, since she knew it, she was very happy in her heart.
Xue Poye immediately got water to wash in the room, and combed the long hair carefully. He felt a little depressed. The modern short hair is so neat and spirited. The long hair is fluttering in this era. Although it is a bit elegant, it is extremely difficult to take care of. Zhi Yue Zhu said softly: "Brother Po Ye, let me comb your hair."
The voice was like water, Xue Poye's restless mood immediately calmed down, Moon Bamboo came over slowly like a lily in the wind, picked up the wooden comb, and said softly: "Sit down!"
Xue Poye sat up obediently, let Yuezhu comb gently behind her, the fragrance of her daughter permeated the air faintly, got into her nose, Xue Poye felt an indescribable tranquility, closed her eyes , enjoying this wonderful moment.
"Brother Po Ye, you are black!" Yue Zhu said softly, his voice was full of love and compassion.
Xue Poye still closed his eyes and said with a smile: "Silly girl, the darker the skin, the healthier you will be, and you won't get sick."
Yuezhu didn't speak, just combed gently, very lightly, as if she was afraid of hurting Xue Poye if she tried too hard.
Xue Poye felt peaceful in his heart. He only felt that when Yuezhu was together, the whole person was very relaxed and happy. Whenever he saw Yuezhu's smile blooming like spring, Xue Poye felt that his whole body was Strength, indescribable self-confidence, is this girl, who has taken care of herself carefully since she crossed over, is gentle and virtuous, and has a small family.
In a gentle atmosphere, Yuezhu helped Xue Poye comb his hair before going out, Xue Poye changed into his clothes, his figure was fit and well-fitting, and he was immediately chic and suave.
After tidying up and returning to the office on the third floor, there must be some people singing praises in the middle, Xue Poye smiled back, it was very decent, and everyone even sighed.
It was still early, and there was still some time before the night banquet in the Lu Mansion, Xue Poye took out the manuscript of "Jin Ping Mei" and laid it flat on the table.
These days I have not been free, so I immediately started writing the first two thousand words. As a writer who understands art deeply, Xue Poye naturally knows how to write this classic book, although the whole book is I don't remember the words and sentences clearly, but the general outline and those important words "that woman's love on the pillow is better than a whore, and she is flattering in every way" "steals the fragrant pink butterfly wet the flower stamen, and the dragonfly spins up and down in the water. The joy is endless Interestingly, the spirit tortoise spit out clear springs" and "Dada loves your white butt" are etched in his heart. These are the painstaking efforts of predecessors, and Xue Poye absolutely dare not forget them.
As if writing with spirit, he dashed forward until his arms became sore, and then he stopped writing. He wrote thousands of words eloquently, and the content was already enriched. It was time to leave, so the manuscript was put into the table.

When Xue Poye arrived at Lu's Mansion on a golden lion, the sky was not completely dark, but the outline of the moon loomed in the eastern sky. Undoubtedly, tonight, everyone who attended the banquet was a joyous event. A good opportunity to sing to the moon.
In front of the gate of Lu's mansion, there was an endless stream of people coming and going, and several people were waiting attentively in front of the gate of Lu's mansion.
Xue Poye could see clearly that among the waiting people was the second young master who was blackmailed by him for four hundred taels of silver. At this time, he was dressed in brocade clothes, but he had a bit of temperament. He greeted the guests with fists and a smile on his face.
Officials dressed in various official uniforms and big Confucianists in green robes and long beards entered the mansion one after another, and the horses and sedan chairs were also led by someone to take care of them. Xue Poye got off his horse and walked up to the second young master, clasped his fists and said with a smile: " Hello, young master!"
The second young master turned his face, his face paled in shock: "It's... it's you?"
Xue Poye giggled and said, "It's me!"
"You... why are you here?" The second young master was quite surprised, his face turned pale.
Xue Poye rubbed his nose and smiled, "My little brother is here for the banquet."
The second young master didn't show any anger on his face, but rather panicked, he said in a low voice, "Are you coming to the banquet too? What's your name?"
"Xue Poye!"
The second young master hastily took the roster from the servant next to him, looked carefully, and was surprised to see Xue Poye's name suddenly listed. Great Confucianism, but he is included in this roster, which is really intriguing.
The second young master threw the roster back into Ding's hands, pulled Xue Poye aside, and said with a bitter face: "Xue...Brother Xue, I beg you for something, and you must agree."
Xue Poye wondered: "What's the matter?" He immediately smiled and said: "Second Young Master, I really didn't know that you were Second Young Master that night. It was a misunderstanding. I was just afraid that someone would impersonate you and ruin your reputation. Don't take it to heart. .”
The second young master said with a bitter face: "That's the matter, don't let me miss it, God knows this matter, you know me, don't let the third person know, it's important!"
Xue Poye was stunned, and said that the second young master would become angry today and make trouble for himself, but he didn't expect to be so humble, begging himself not to tell the embarrassing things about that, it seems that the second young master is really a person who wants to save face, interesting interesting!
"Second Young Master, this is what you know and I know. I will never let others know, so don't worry." Xue Poye patted his chest loudly.
"Don't call me the second young master, just call me cowardly." The second young master heaved a sigh of relief, smiled, patted Xue Poye on the shoulder, held up his thumb and said, "You are very capable, we will get closer to each other in the future. "
Xue Poye was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect the second young master to be so generous, he really underestimated him.
The second young master approached again, and asked in a low voice, "Are you the legendary hero in the streets? The one who helped Mrs. Wang?"
Xue Poye said modestly: "I'm ashamed and ashamed, I don't dare to take it, two... cowardly brother, I laughed at it."
The second young master giggled, lowered his voice and continued to ask, "Did you beat that bastard Lu Fu too?"
Xue Poye was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: "Damn, is this kid going to ask me for Lu Fu's crime?" Seeing the smile on the second young master's face, but a look of gloating, he sighed: "Cowardly like brother, you The housekeeper is domineering, I just discipline you for you."
The second young master gave a thumbs up and praised: "Good fight, I just want to beat that bastard, grandma's, relying on that... hehe, relying on Second Grandma's love, I don't even look down on me on weekdays, so I should fight, Next time we meet, Xue...Brother Po Ye clean up for me again!"
Xue Poye blushed for a while, he didn't expect the second young master to be so cute, and the attack was too heavy that night.
The second young master directly called Mrs. Fang "Second Grandma", obviously out of fear, the relationship between the husband and wife is naturally extremely unharmonious, Xue Poye was a little surprised: "Damn, if this kid knows that his wife took off her clothes to seduce me, I don't know how to feel?"
