Thirty-seven, the first entry to the Protectorate

When I arrived at the three shops on Banxian Street, I saw the shrew who was commanding two male servants to smash the door. Her two brothers were also there. When I saw Zhou Xuan, I was stunned.

Zhou Xuan raised the house deed in his hand, shook the key in his hand, and shouted: "Look clearly, whose house this is, and he dares to smash it. Do you think of the yamen being beaten to the board?"

A shrew's younger brother had good eyesight. When he saw the deed of his brother-in-law's handwritten escort on the deed, he said with a sad face: "Sister, this house has been sold by his brother-in-law, and the deed is in his hands!"

Zhou Xuan took the key to open the ancient fish-shaped lock, the door was open, and said, "Get out quickly, this is my Zhou Xuan's store, don't gather in front of my door to interfere with my business!"

"Ah, the old bastard really ran away!" The shrew screamed and wanted to rush in, wanting to see if the little bitch is still there?

Suddenly, two crisp sounds of "slap" were heard, and the shrew was slapped twice in the face. Before he could come back to his senses, he was pushed to the ground again. A crisp voice shouted: "Look at you to smash my store, look at you to smash my store--"

Lin Hanyun's face turned red, she clenched her fists, and kept kicking the shrew on the ground, kicking and scolding her.

The shrewd woman was disheveled and rolling on the ground. It rained yesterday and the streets were still muddy. She rolled three times and two times and turned into a mud pig who was screaming.

Although the two younger brothers of the shrew were afraid of Zhou Xuan, they were furious when they saw their sister being beaten by a small servant. They rushed up from left to right and punched the small servant in the head.

When Zhou Xuan saw Lin Hanyun beating someone, he had been standing beside her for a long time, preventing her from being beaten. At this time, he was about to rescue him, but he saw the driver driving a fuel-walled car suddenly leaping out, "popping" his legs, and kicking the elbows of the two younger brothers of the shrew. The two arms of the two suddenly fell backwards and broke.

Zhou Xuan looked at the coachman in surprise, "A master, the real person doesn't show his appearance, the Protectorate's Mansion is indeed so arrogant, and a coachman has such skills."

Lin Hanyun stopped resigning and complained: "Old Dong, why are you joining in the fun? Can these two pussys beat me? Come on, I will beat you to death." He rushed towards the two guys holding their arms and screaming pain.

The two shrewd brothers turned around and ran away. The sister who was rolling on the ground didn't care. Several male servants also shouted and ran away.

The shrew got up with a mud on his face. Lin Hanyun wanted to kick her. Seeing that she was too dirty, she said, "Get out quickly, dirty pig, don't let me see you again."

Seeing the shrew rolling and crawling away, Lin Hanyun clapped his hands and said, "It's great, my aunt has finally been a hero today. Zhou Xuan's nephew, how should you thank me?"

Zhou Xuan said: "This is not my own store. I thank you for what I want. Come in and take a look."

A few people walked around the front yard and the back yard. The owner of the insect shop was in a hurry and didn't take many things away. I was afraid that they would cost one or two hundred taels of silver to buy these things.

As a insect shop, the utensils here are quite complete. The three shops on the street are divided into two floors. The upper floor is a teahouse for insect friends to drink tea and talk about insects. In the middle of the lower floor is a hall where cars and horses can enter and exit. The one on the left sells various crickets and the other on the right sells various worm-fighting utensils. They are nothing more than buckets and insect jars. The grades are different, but there are no valuables now.

After passing through the front yard, the row of houses behind is a small insect-fighting place, with a layout similar to the bottom floor of "Mufeng Tower", and it is not as big as "Mufeng Tower".

The row of houses at the end is home, with all the household items available.

The problem now is that there is no effective person in the store to manage it. The mistress and Hu Tong are too young. Lai Fu can run errands, but he can't be the boss. Suddenly, I thought of the Liao Yin couple I met yesterday. The couple is good. You can invite here to help. There are some original friends in the store. You can check it and keep it.

Lin Hanyun asked happily: "When will our store open and what is the store's name?"

Zhou Xuan said: "The original name of this store is well-known, called 'Qiu Zhantang'. There is no need to change the name, just use this one and open it. Two days later, by the way, when will Brother Heishan return to the army station?"

Lin Hanyun said: "I was going to leave in the past two days, but my father asked him to accompany the draft envoy. I guess he would have to wait until the draft envoy left Jiangzhou before leaving."

It was already noon, and Zhou Xuan found a restaurant nearby to invite everyone to have lunch, and then returned to the city, Lai Fu and Hu Tong stayed in this store to organize it first.

Lai Fu said: "Son-in-law, let my brother Wangcai come here to help. He is a rich man in the east of the city. The family is too bad and does not treat his servants as human beings. My brother has long since wanted to do it, but Mr. Qin doesn't need so many servants--"

"Wangcai?" Zhou Xuan laughed: "Okay, call him here."

Zhou Xuan originally planned to send Lin Hanyun back to the Protectorate Mansion now, and then he went to find Liao Yin and his wife, but Lin Hanyun had not had enough fun and wanted to go with him. There was no way, so he had to take her out of the east gate.

When he found Liao Yin and told him about the matter, Liao Yin was overjoyed. He was also a friend of mine. He immediately went in and asked his wife for advice. Liao Yin was very slutty. His wife was newly married and wanted to be a good wife. She tried not to be a harsh wife. She was also very obedient to Liao Yin. She thought this matter was indeed good and she could live there. She immediately agreed to go tomorrow. She still asked her father to take care of this shop.

The overall situation of "Qiu Zhantang" is just about to be decided, and it will be opened on a date.

***************************

Zhou Xuan took Tang Xiaosan to send Lin Hanyun back to the Protectorate Mansion. The Protectorate Mansion was located in Chaoyangfang in the south of the city, not far from Jiulianfang. The entire street was filled with private houses of the Protectorate Mansion. There were soldiers guarding the street at the intersection, and idle people could not enter. The place where the Jiedushi Lord Lin Dailin really handled the important military and political affairs was to build a urn city in the west of the city, with a garrison with horses and 20,000 elite soldiers.

Zhou Xuan sent Lin Hanyun to Chaoyang Fangfang Gate. Just as he was about to go back, Lin Hanyun suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, I almost forgot something big, Zhou Xuan, come and come with me to the mansion."

Zhou Xuan asked: "What's the matter?"

Lin Hanyun jumped off the oil wall car and said, "I asked you for music scores today, which was the song you played in "Mufenglou" the day before yesterday. Now go in with me and copy a copy of the music score for me. I will hand you the 300 taels of gold by the way. Remember, you will double next month and give me 600 taels."

"Ah!" Zhou Xuan widened his eyes: "You are so damn. Are you opening a store or raising loans together? I refuse to partner with you when you are like this."

Lin Hanyun grabbed Zhou Xuan and refused to let him go: "Okay, okay, I'm joking, but my pocket money will be distributed from the insect store account in the future. I'm also the vice chairman, right?"

Zhou Xuan was speechless, wondering whether it was a disaster or a blessing to get involved in this young and beautiful aunt?

Tang Xiaosan was waiting in the concierge, and Zhou Xuan followed Lin Hanyun in. The Protectorate's Mansion was not an ordinary big one, with the corridors of the Quyuan and pavilions, so Zhou Xuan couldn't tell the direction clearly.

The maid I met along the way saw the second lady pulling a young man into the inner courtyard. Although she was surprised, no one dared to object. The second lady has a very bad temper and can beat people, so she doesn't mess with her.

Lin Hanyun pulled Zhou Xuan into a large study room, and saw that both walls were bookshelves, boxed and bulk books with toothpicks with logos. On the exquisitely carved tables were placed with ivory pens, Jingxian paper, Hui ink, and Duan inkstone, the four treasures of the study. There was also a large vertical folding screen behind the desk, which was more than two meters high. The twisted vermilion shelf was inlaid with valuable items such as crystal, jade, enamel, jade, etc., and the screen was painted with flowers, birds, insects and fish, brightly colored and colorful.

"Zhou Xuan, there is also paper and pen here, and I don't know who has ground the ink, which is easy to save trouble. Come and record the music score." Lin Hanyun said while knocking on the desk.

Zhou Xuan learned to draw fine brushes, so he naturally had to practice brush calligraphy. Although he did not work hard, he could barely show off his hands. He sat upright, carried the pen to spread the paper, and wrote down the three words "Red Bean Song".
