Dream Broken You Pavilion

The trade channel was opened, and Shen Guyi couldn't wait to rush to the capital of Chuanyang Kingdom with two assistants, ten Xiao family guards and dozens of carts of silk and cloth.

He has been in business all year round, and his family is well-off, so he doesn't care about selling these goods to make money. He said he was doing business, but in fact he was looking for his childhood sweetheart, Zou Qing.

After running around for several days, at noon this day, he finally arrived at the cloth market on Nanyu Street, Yannan City, Chuanyang.Cloth from all over the world is concentrated here, sellers and buyers come in and out, crowded with each other, and it is very lively.

After he selected the stall and settled the goods, he left the business to the assistants to take care of it, while he went to the long street to look for the Goulanyuan.

On the way, he inquired as he walked, as long as it was Goulan Courtyard, he would go in and ask who the boss was, and then meet him in person.But this Yannan city is more than twice as big as the capital of Xiang country. He found Tianhei and visited three Goulan courtyards, but he didn't find the person he was looking for.

Back at the cloth market, the buddies and guards were waiting for him outside the door.When the man saw him, he was overjoyed and said:

"Boss, we just arrived today, and a big customer bought two truckloads of goods this afternoon. According to this situation, the goods we can sell in three or four months may be sold out in a few days."

Shen Guyi was preoccupied with the matter of finding someone, so he said "um" absent-mindedly: "Everyone is working hard, it's getting late, let's quickly find a place to rest and eat." But he was thinking in his heart, go out and look after dinner.

Immediately, he remembered the Fengming Restaurant that Xiao Han had mentioned, and took them all the way to find it. Fortunately, it was not far away, and they arrived within half a stick of incense.

This is a very ordinary restaurant. It looks inconspicuous on the long street lined with high-end restaurants.

It was meal time, Xiao Er kept yelling at passers-by outside the door to come in for dinner, when he saw a dozen or so people from Shen Guyi coming in, he immediately greeted them enthusiastically, and when he learned that they needed accommodation, he even smiled and led them in first , went upstairs to choose a few rooms, put down and saluted, and went downstairs to sit at a few tables. Originally, the restaurant had only ten tables, but the 13 of them were divided into three tables.

Seeing that they had traveled for several days, everyone had worked hard, Shen Gu Yi was generous enough to order local good wine and food, and every table was full.

Xiaoer brought the food, Shen Guyi asked: "Dude, do you know if any of your Goulan Courtyard owners are women?"

Xiaoer replied: "Master, you can tell from the accent that you are not from Chuanyang. If you ask me, you are right. Most of the people in this Goulan courtyard are singers, jugglers, and performers, but there are two or three of them. There are women, and I heard that those women are as beautiful as angels."

Shen Guyi blushed, and said: "I'm not asking about the women inside, I'm asking, which Goulan Courtyard's boss is a woman."

Xiao Er thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, although I don't have the money to go there, but I have never eaten pork and seen pigs run away, so I know that there are usually more than one boss in such a Goulan courtyard." .”

Shen Guyi took out a piece of broken silver from his sleeve pocket and threw it over, the little second hand quickly picked it up, immediately smiled, nodded and bowed and said:

"Master, if you have any questions, feel free to ask, as long as you know the truth, you will tell me the truth."

"I ask you, is there any new one opened recently?"

Xiaoer said: "Yes, there is a new one opened on the east end of our Nanyu Street, and there is also a new one on North Street, all of which were opened recently, and the new ones are full of newcomers Face, the business has been very good recently, almost all night every day."

Shen Guyi asked again: "Then, have you ever heard of a female boss surnamed Zou among the bosses?

"The surname Zou? The female boss?" Xiaoer scratched the back of his head and thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "The little one really doesn't know, but you can go to these two houses to find them yourself. They are not far away. You can see the house a mile from here, and the one on North Street has to go through the alley in front, and after walking north for about an incense stick, you will see a street similar to this one, and then go west for a short distance. I can see it."

Shen Guyi asked again: "Then may I ask, is your boss's surname Cha?"

Xiao Er nodded again and again: "That's right, my boss's surname is Cha. If you have anything to do, you can go to the front to find her, but she is not in the store at the moment."

Shen Guyi smiled, and said: "Thank you, go get busy."

"Hey, Lord, if you have something to do, just ask the younger one. As long as I know, I will know everything. The younger one will serve you food, and you can eat."

Shen Guyi didn't have any thoughts on eating and drinking, when everyone was full, they went back to their room to rest, he changed into clean clothes and went out again.

When he found a Goulan courtyard in the east, the owner was indeed a woman, but this woman was nearly fifty years old, and she was by no means the woman he was looking for, so he couldn't help but feel discouraged. In the end, there was only one family left. He cheered up and went to North Street.

He inquired all the way and searched all the way, and finally saw a large Goulan courtyard on the west side, with a plaque "Xinxiangyuan" hanging on the door, and people could be seen coming and going from a distance, it was very lively, and one could see it through the courtyard wall. The red lanterns hanging on the upper floor are even more festive, and the faint sound of gongs, drums, operas, and hustle and bustle attract people who have nothing to do to keep walking inside.

The last family, Shen Guyi tidied up his clothes and walked quickly to the courtyard gate.

Like most Goulan courtyards, independent theaters and independent storytelling workshops are surrounded by jugglers, jugglers, and ditty singers.

There is also an independent small courtyard in the southwest corner of here, called Cuiyue Building, euphemistically called "Yi Building", it is a place where girls who perform arts without selling themselves accompany male guests to talk, chat, play chess, and paint, and there are also guests. Those who are drunk can also stay, just give money.

There are several rooms on the east side of the Goulan Courtyard, which include account rooms and a tea room for guests to drink tea.

Shen Guyi didn't care to watch these at all, and went straight into the account room.

The accountant was busy, and two guys who looked like guys were standing in front of the counter talking to him, and two luxuriously dressed men were sitting beside him talking.

Shen Guyi stepped forward and asked the accountant: "Sir, may I ask, who is the boss here?"

The accountant rolled his eyelids to look at him, and said with a Chuanyang accent: "Mr. is here to play, so let's have fun. Why are you asking about the boss?"

Shen Gu Yike said politely: "I'm here to find an acquaintance. I heard that there is a Goulan courtyard here, so I came here."

The accountant put down his brush and asked, "May I ask who is the name of Mr.'s friend?"

Shen Guyi said: "Her surname is Zou and her name is Qing."

The accountant blinked and said: "Oh, you are Boss Xun Zou, she was still there just now, and now I don't know where to go, our garden is the largest in the capital, or, sir, can you sit down?" wait?"

Hearing that Zou Qing was indeed here, Shen Guyi's spirit was lifted, and all the hard work of traveling and traveling for days was wiped out, and he hurriedly said: "Okay, then I will wait for her here."

The cashier glanced at him again, and then said to a clerk, "Go and find Boss Zou."

The clerk also glanced at Shen Guyi, responded, turned and walked out.

Shen Guyi happily sat down on a stool beside him, and a waiter brought a cup of tea.

After a while, a woman came slowly, smiled at the accountant as soon as she entered the door, and asked, "Mr. Zhang, I heard that someone is looking for me?"

But I saw her: about twenty years old, with a delicate oval face, eyebrows like thin willows, almond eyes with affection, nose tip slightly raised, and red lips as gorgeous as peaches and plums.Her head is in a high bun, her body is slender, and she wears blue gold-rimmed large sleeves and a black pearl-encrusted belt around her waist. Her gestures are gentle and elegant, and she speaks and smiles freely, with less pretentiousness and more mature reserve.

The accountant pointed at Shen Guyi and said, "Boss Zou, this young master is looking for you by name."

The woman looked in the direction of his finger, and at this time Shen Guyi had also seen her, and excitedly went forward, saying: "Ah Qing, it's me."

The moment the woman saw him, apart from surprise, there was also a trace of surprise in her eyes, but the color of surprise disappeared in an instant. She smiled at Shen Guyi and saluted:

"It turned out to be Young Master Shen Gu, how come you have time to come to my cottage today to play?"

She spoke with a Chuanyang accent.The words spoken seem to be not meeting old friends who haven't seen for many years, but familiar neighbors in the neighborhood who meet here again, indifferently and casually, without any excitement.

However, Shen Guyi was so excited that he didn't know what to say, so he hurriedly replied: "Ah Qing, I haven't seen you for many years, how are you?"

Zou Qing nodded calmly and said, "Thank you for remembering me, Master. Everything is fine with Zou Qing. It's rare to see you. Anyone who comes is a guest. Zou Qing should also do his best as a landlord. Please go to the tea room to talk."

After saying that, he made a gesture of invitation, and then led Shen Gu Yi, who was full of excitement, to the tea room.

The tea seats here are all wooden compartments, with wooden sliding doors carved with delicate bat patterns.

She walked in the head, went in at a teahouse at the end far away from others, and asked Shen Guyi to sit down.

She didn't show too much enthusiasm from the beginning to the end, but was reasonable and restrained, with a steady and elegant manner. While cooking tea, she asked:

"Why did you come to Chuanyang?"

Shen Guyi smiled all over his face, his big eyes were fixed on her handsome face all the time, his heart was pounding happily, restraining his excitement, he replied:

"I came to Yannan to deliver goods. I heard that you opened a Goulan courtyard in the capital of Chuanyang a few days ago, so I came to see you."

Zou Qing smiled lightly, gently poured the cooked tea into a cup, held it in front of him with a tea clip, and said: "Yes, after three years, it seems that you are getting more and more handsome."

Shen Guyi "hehe" said with a silly smile: "As you get older, I see that you are more and more beautiful, Ah Qing."

"Is the young master married?"

"Not yet."

Zou Qing raised his head and glanced at him, and said softly, "Young master, is he 21? Why isn't uncle in a hurry to hug his grandson?"

Shen Guyi's eyes never left her face, the deep yearning in his eyes could not be blocked, and he said: "Ah Qing, I am so happy to find you. During the three years you left, I also asked someone to I looked for you everywhere, but I couldn't find you, are you okay?"

Zou Qing's hand holding the teacup paused slightly, then raised his head to look at him, with a faint smile on his lips, and replied: "I'm fine."
