The eighth day of the first lunar month.
The sun came out early this morning. Except for the snow piles, the ice on the road melted under the sun. Although it was a bit muddy, it was easier to walk on than ice.
First, she went to the chess hall to open, and then Song Yuehua planned to go to Changwu City, so she brought a longbow and a bag when she left home.
This time when we went to the county, besides Song Yuehua and Pei Feng, there was also Zhou Xiaohu.
"It's cold now and there aren't many guests coming. It's okay for you to go later." Song Yuehua said to Zhou Xiaohu.
Zhou Xiaohu chuckled and said, "I have nothing to do at home, so I might as well start business early. Zhang Dandan and Tangyuan opened their shop on the sixth day of the New Year. I am not diligent just coming here today."
Ji Ming had a hard life. After coming back, he helped to open the store before he had a chance to catch his breath. After cleaning up, he had to go to the border state early the next morning.
"Daya, why are you still carrying the bag?" Zhou Xiaohu asked.
Song Yuehua didn't actually have anything else in here, just two sets of clothes to change into. "We're going to the county town today, and we have to go to Changwu City tomorrow. When we get there, please help me take care of the chess hall."
"Of course," Zhou Xiaohu added, "You were not here during the New Year holidays. Did Xiaoyu and Xiaofu know that the store is opening today?"
Song Yuehua said, "He who entrusted the message must know."
The Yan family was exiled before the Chinese New Year. The incident happened suddenly, so Song Yuehua could only ask Master Ma to deliver the things and messages.
When Song Yuehua came over, the Xiang brothers and sisters were squatting at the door of the store guarding, and Xiaofu also wrapped himself in a blanket, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.
After seeing her, the three of them hurried over to say hello.
"Don't you have the key? Why are you waiting at the door?" Song Yuehua said as she opened the door herself.
Xiang Xiaoyu said, "There are rules for opening a business. The door must be opened by the owner."
There is also this saying.
Song Yuehua felt that her knowledge in this area was somewhat lacking, and she still had to find someone to learn from in the future.
After entering the room, Song Yuehua took out three red envelopes from her bosom and handed them to the three people, "Red envelopes for the opening, I wish our chess hall business will be prosperous."
"May the money flow in." Zhao Xiaofu continued.
"Business is booming." Xiang Xiaoyu said and pulled Xiang Chen again.
"Guests are coming in droves." Xiang Chen reacted and continued.
The three of them looked at Pei Feng behind them, only to see him stammering, "Make a fortune."
Song Yuehua smiled and gave Pei Feng a red envelope as well, "This is a red envelope for the first time, you must not refuse it."
Pei Feng accepted it immediately and didn't dare to say anything polite.
This was Pei Feng's first time in the chess hall. After Song Yuehua introduced the three people, Xiang Chen took the rag and started to wipe the table. Xiang Xiaoyu went to the back to boil water, and Zhao Xiaofu also cleaned up the counter.
Song Yuehua looked at Pei Feng and asked, "Can you play chess?"
"Won't."
Song Yuehua didn't care and just said, "Take a rest first. It's very slippery outside. I don't know if there will be any guests coming."
"They will come," Pei Feng said seriously, "There will be many guests coming."
Song Yuehua looked at him with surprise, what a teachable boy!
The charcoal stove was lit, and after a while, the chess hall became warm.
Song Yuehua looked through the account books for the days when she was absent. Although it was close to the New Year, the accounts still looked good.
"Hey, it's open!"
Fourth Master Zuo and Old Man Mu walked in, bowed to Song Yuehua and said, "I wish the Song family a prosperous business and lots of money!"
"Thank you for your kind words. Please take a seat inside."
Song Yuehua responded with a smile, and Xiang Xiaoyu immediately came over to greet them warmly, inviting them to sit at the table next to the charcoal fire.
"Your chess hall is really exquisite," said Zuo Siye, stretching out his hands to warm them over the charcoal fire. "The entire road in front of the door has been cleaned. Following the clean road, I came to your place."
A whole road?
Song Yuehua came out of the shop and all the snow and rain on the road in front of the door had been cleared away.
When I walked to the intersection ahead, I saw Pei Feng shoveling snow with a shovel.
"You're not tired either."
Song Yuehua said helplessly. She thought Pei Feng had gone somewhere to rest, but she didn't expect him to be shoveling snow here, and he had been shoveling snow all the way.
"Not tired," Pei Feng said, "I'm just sitting around doing nothing anyway."
Since this kid followed her, he has been working very hard and devotedly.
Song Yuehua asked curiously, "Why didn't you leave when we encountered bandits a few years ago? Why did you risk your life to accompany us? And this time, you worked so hard and quietly. If I didn't know, then you would have worked in vain."
Pei Feng smiled shyly, "It's not in vain if there are guests coming."
"What about the time we encountered bandits?" Song Yuehua took the shovel and started shoveling as well. "If they die, they are dead."
Pei Feng stood there, speaking in a low voice, "At first the girl wanted Wei Da, but she didn't like me. I want her to like me a little more."
When Song Yuehua was buying the player, it was indeed Wei Da that Song Yuehua took a fancy to at first sight, and it was Wei Da that Song Yuehua wanted to buy.
The reason why I bought Pei Feng was because I had already said it and it would be difficult to take it back, so I just bought it.
I didn't expect this kid to be so thoughtful. He discovered everything.
Song Yuehua came over and said in a gentle voice, "Now besides Master Duan, you are the person I trust the most, otherwise I would not let you protect Xiaoyu. You are still young now, and I will return the indenture to you in two years. If you want to get married, I will ask Aunt Tang to help you find a good marriage, what do you think?"
Pei Feng asked nervously, "Girl, do you still not want me?"
Song Yuehua, "..."
"Giving you a bond is giving you freedom. If you are willing to stay in my house as a guard, I will definitely want you. If you don't want to, I will also wish you well." Song Yuehua said patiently.
