Chapter 58 A mysterious person comes to compete
"Write one for me."
Chang Xixi handed him the pen in her hand and took out an unused piece of paper. The young man wrote his name directly on it. It was elegant and dignified, and it was very pleasing to the eye.
She nodded and let him stand. "Okay, you'll follow the shopkeeper from now on! You'll get paid, but you have to be clean and obedient. Do you understand?"
"yes."
The young man's eyes were fixed on his toes.
After the two men left, the man sleeping on the couch reluctantly opened his eyes. Chang Xixi found that he was awake, put down the pen in her hand, and put the paper used by the young man aside. She walked over and reached out to touch Gu Rongyu's forehead, "It's okay, not too hot."
"I'm sorry to have worried you."
Chang Xixi laughed, "You drank too much and were caught in the wind, so you caught a cold. Husband and wife should be considerate of each other. This is what I should do." After saying that, she took the hangover soup on the side and said, "Drink some, you will feel better."
"good."
Gu Rongyu wasn't actually drunk at all. If you ask why he pretended, it was just to see Chang Xixi's concern for him, that's all! The teahouse's business was getting better and better, and more and more people came to see her. He just suddenly felt a sense of crisis, which was why he acted like this.
Chang Xixi naturally didn’t know!
Li Da returned to his room and asked the waiter to give up his bed so he could sleep in the same room with the young man. The waiter had no objection, as he didn't want to share a room with Li Da either. He had to get up early in the morning to practice martial arts, which always woke him up, and he wished he could sleep alone.
Looking at the shy young man standing beside the bed, he said, "What's your name? We can call you by that name from now on."
"Ren, Renwen."
"Okay, now that you're here, just treat it like home. Don't be too restrained. I'll take better care of you from now on. Having you here makes me feel a lot more relaxed. These days, there are so many different customers with so many requests. It's really hard to serve them."
The waiter said this and walked out of the room holding his quilt, leaving the two of them behind.
Renwen sheepishly asked Li Da some questions, but Li Da simply said that he would be able to see the young master tomorrow and asked him not to worry. Today he would be meeting the young mistress. In fact, he had already seen the young master asleep on the couch.
Another day.
A masked man in black appeared on the street. He had an incredible aura! He looked like a demon from hell, or like he had just stepped out of the brink of death. He wore a white mask that covered his entire face. He took out ten coins from his pocket and placed them on the waiter's tray.
“Start with the simplest.”
"Okay. Please come over here, answer the questions one by one. Write your answers on the table over there. Finally, take the paper to the shopkeeper to get the score card."
"Thank you very much."
The man bowed slightly to express his gratitude and walked into the teahouse. As he walked in, the shopkeeper saw the dagger in his shoe and the soft sword at his waist. The jade pendant at his waist was of rare and fine jade, and his black hair was tied up high.
The man walked straight to the blind box, pulled out a box, opened the question inside, and wrote down the answer in just a cup of tea.
Everyone was stunned. Then he did the third question, the fourth, and so on, and so on for ten questions in a row, all of which he answered correctly! Without missing a word, the shopkeeper reluctantly gave him a 20-point score sign and updated the list for today, putting him directly in the top 50.
For three consecutive days, this person wore the same set of clothes and came directly to answer questions.
Start with the easy ones and end with the hard ones!
He never stopped.
It seems that I have reached the 15th place!
The shopkeeper was immediately panicked because no one had ever had such a high score. It was already 70 points. If he continued to write like this, Chang Xixi would be surpassed by him.
Chang Xixi was not panicked. On the first day this man came, she took the students to study in the private room on the second floor. Coincidentally, she was introducing the business model of this shop to the students when the man caught her eye. The temperament and demeanor he exuded made her eyes flash with surprise.
The man saw her eyes and expression, raised the corners of his mouth, and wrote down the answer with his left hand.
…
For a month, this unknown man has been firmly in first place!
evening.
Gu Rongyu was whispering to Chang Xixi, lying on the bed covered with a quilt, chatting, "Madam, do you know what that riddle is? I see you are writing a blind box for the teahouse."
"You mean, deep in the mountains, you can't see anyone, but you can hear footsteps?" Chang Xixi yawned, then thought for a moment and said, "I've given the shopkeeper all the answers. If you're curious, go and see. Just don't leave the questions out. Someone came to challenge me recently, and I'm really worried."
"Madam, do you want to meet this person?"
"You can meet her or not. The main thing is, this thing is just a gimmick, just to lure people in and pay them to play. Also, it's just a place for those young men on the second floor to have fun. Haven't you seen so many girls and young men come here for trysts?"
Chang Xixi turned around. She was so sleepy that she closed her eyes, entered the space, and fell asleep on the lawn.
As if resonating with the spirit spring, another drop fell into the white porcelain bottle she was holding, making a soft sound. In the distance, a tree was growing precariously on the lawn, but it was only as tall as her calf.
Gu Rongyu watched Chang Xixi sleep with satisfaction, took out a pill from under the pillow and put it into her mouth. A quarter of an hour later, he dressed neatly and went to the teahouse hall. He searched for a long time but couldn't find the so-called answer, so he had to return empty-handed.
When Qingnan and Liang Ming saw their master like this, they both clicked their tongues and wondered why he had become a thief.
They are shameful!
The noise naturally alarmed Li Da, who was sleeping in the lower room. When he saw that it was the young master, he went back to sleep with peace of mind.
Maybe it's just the interest between husband and wife, so you shouldn't interfere!
Renwen was just sleeping soundly and didn't know anything.
The second day.
Gu Rongyu was reading a book in the study. Qingnan pushed open the door and walked in, whispering in his ear, "Young Master, I saw the shopkeeper take something out of the cabinet in his room. He fell asleep last night and put the key under his pillow. Do you want me to steal it for you?"
"Go ahead."
Qingnan walked out.
No one knew what the young master was thinking. He just guessed it, but he didn't expect it to be right.
Liang Mingke disdained to do such things and leaned on the roof, holding a piece of dog grass in his mouth. Renwen happened to see this person and approached him with his short knife. "Who are you and why are you here? Are you trying to harm Mr. Chang?"
It's quite amusing to see this newly grown baby with his neat, fair and tender cheeks.
