Chapter 88: Jingxin Pavilion Renovation Xu Nian Sends Silk

Xiu'er happily responded and ran out, but the old woman got up and said angrily, "Don't scare me here. Today, either you release my son or compensate me with twenty taels of silver, otherwise I will make you restless."

"Ahem, Sanniang~" Chun Sanniang heard the shouting from inside the house and turned around and ran inside.

At this time, Xiu'er came back with two men, pointed at the woman and ordered, "Throw her out, and make sure she can't get close to this courtyard. The ten taels of silver are yours."

The old woman looked at the silver ingot with greed in her eyes. The two lean men took the silver with a smile on their faces and promised solemnly: "We two brothers will guard outside the yard every day and will not let this old woman get close to her."

After saying this, the two men carried the old woman out of the yard. For a while, all that could be heard was her yelling and cursing.

When Chun Sanniang heard her master's cry, she ran into the house and saw the troupe leader crawling on the ground with difficulty.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

"Sanniang, is that old lady Qiu making trouble again? Help me up and I will chase her away."

Chun Sanniang couldn't stop crying. It was all her fault that she was useless. Not only did her master break his leg, but he also had to endure such humiliation.

Chun Sanniang took great pains to help the troupe leader sit on the chair. Just as she was about to take a breath, she remembered that the boss was still in the yard.

"Master, the boss is here. I will go and invite him in."

The troupe leader was startled at first, then waved and said, "Sanniang, help me out."

"Master, your legs?"

"Nothing, this room is so stinking, how can we let the boss in? Sigh~ After all, we are rude."

Chun Sanniang couldn't persuade the troupe owner, so she had to help him move out step by step with great effort.

Xu Nian waited in the yard but did not go in rashly. At the same time, she was thinking about the teahouse. Jingxin Pavilion was given to her suddenly by Luo Jinan, so she had never made any plans for it before today.

"I pay my respects to my boss."

Seeing the old man standing by the door frame, Xu Nian guessed that this should be the owner of the Sixi Troupe and nodded.

"Since the class master is injured, he should pay attention to his health. Chun Sanniang and I will just need to understand the situation."

The troupe owner said with guilt: "My family is in such a bad condition. I have to ask you to sit in the courtyard for a while. If you want to know something, I'd better answer it. Sanniang is a simple-minded child and doesn't care about many things."

Since the class owner said so, Xu Nian sat down in the yard.

"I would like to ask the troupe owner, is the repertoire of the Sixi Troupe fixed or updated regularly?"

The troupe owner was startled when he heard this. Wasn't this boss here for this incident? Although he had doubts, he still answered honestly: "They are all fixed. A gentleman also came to me to sell a new book, but the repertoire was similar to what Sanniang was singing now, so he didn't buy it."

Xu Nian asked about the gentleman's situation again, and then talked about another thing.

"I plan to renovate Jingxin Pavilion. Of course, I will also be responsible for deciding the songs that Chun Sanniang will sing in the future. I wonder if the troupe owner has any suggestions?"

The boss felt bitter. He had already sold himself to Jingxin Pavilion, so he had no right to be unwilling. He said softly, "It all depends on the boss."

"In addition, I will make other arrangements for your accommodation. As for Chun Sanniang, I will also arrange for a woman who knows how to fight to stay by her side."

The class owner's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked very grateful. Xu Nian waved his hand and said, "Don't be so moved. I will deduct these expenses from your future rewards."

The boss still thanked sincerely: "Thank you for your kindness."

“…”

After watching the group of people leave the courtyard, the troupe owner said to Chun Sanniang happily, "Sanniang, we have someone to rely on from now on."

Chun Sanniang blinked her innocent yet clear eyes and smiled: "The boss is not only good-looking, but also a nice person."

The boss smiled, thinking that the domineering young boss looked at the apprentice in front of him again, maybe the apprentice could get some good fortune.

The shopkeeper followed behind Xu Nian, gritted his teeth and asked, "Does the boss plan to close the store for renovation?"

Xu Nian smiled, "Chun Sanniang is the pillar of our Jingxin Pavilion. Now that she is frightened and ill in bed, the teahouse has to close. By the way, shopkeeper, remember to apologize to the old tea customers and tell them that we can only reopen after Chun Sanniang recovers."

The shopkeeper was a little confused at first, but suddenly he heard the boss tell the maid beside him: "Remember to tell Zhang Da to release those rogues who caused the trouble. It's a waste of food to keep them in jail."

The shopkeeper pondered for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He looked at Xu Nian with even more awe. It was okay for those scoundrels to stay in jail. If they really got out, they would probably suffer some physical pain.

This was what Xu Nian had in mind. Think about the fanatical fans of modern stars. If anyone hurt their fairy sister, they would have raised their fists long ago.

Although Chun Sanniang is not enough to make tea drinkers so obsessed, the love of those old tea drinkers for opera should not be underestimated.

After sending the shopkeeper back to the teahouse, Xu Nian took Xiu'er back to the county government office. He first went to Shouzhu Courtyard to talk to the two elders about the general situation, and then returned to his own Qingteng Courtyard.

As soon as Xu Nian stepped into the courtyard, he saw Luo Jinan sitting under the flower vines. Luo Jinan also looked over at him. Xu Nian looked at the gradually expanding smile on the opposite side, and his heart couldn't help beating faster and faster, "So this is the feeling of having someone waiting for you at home."

"What's wrong with you, Nian Nian? You left me alone to go out and play, why are you feeling aggrieved?"

Luo Jinan reached out and rubbed the corners of Xu Nian's eyes and said jokingly.

Xu Nian smiled embarrassedly.

"I left in such a hurry that I forgot to let anyone know."

Luo Jin'an knew how to take advantage of others, "Then how is Nian Nian going to compensate me?"

Xu Nian glared at him, but still said resignedly: "Wait."

Xu Nian went to the room and took out the items she had woven yesterday. Luo Jinan looked at the silk thread in Xu Nian's hand and smiled widely. Even in the Northern Frontier, giving silk thread to a man is considered a very intimate act.

Xu Nian just stood in front of Luo Jinan, and before he could say anything, he saw Luo Jinan put his hands on his waist. With a "click", the jade belt around his waist was pulled out. Xu Nian came to his senses and his face turned red uncontrollably, "Who said that the ancients were rigid and reserved."

"Come here," Luo Jin'an opened his arms and waited for Xu Nian to tie the silk ribbon for him. His serious expression made Xu Nian swallow nervously.

"Why don't you tie it yourself?" Xu Nian looked around. She really couldn't bring herself to do it.

"Turn around."

The two obedient men turned their backs, only Xiu'er stared at Luo Jin'an with her big eyes. Liuyun sighed, pulled Xiu'er over and turned her around.

Luo Jinan raised his eyebrows at Xu Nian. After hesitating for a while, Xu Nian stepped forward and put his arms around Luo Jinan's waist.
