Qi Hongyu’s vegetarian tea shop is located at the intersection directly opposite Zhouqiao, and the road next to it is Zhouqiao Market.

From the front of the vegetarian tea shop, you can not only see the market, but it is only a few dozen steps away.

The location here is excellent. If you are tired after shopping in the market, or have eaten too much, you can come and sit in the shop and drink something like sour plum soup.

The name of the shop is called Hongyu Tea Shop. It was opened by Qi Hongyu and a little sister. The other sisters came to help when they had free time. But it was not in vain. They still had to pay what they deserved. Everyone had a good time together.

Look after each other.

Naturally, if the relationship was not good or the character was not good, Qi Hongyu would not write down the person's name after Zhao Tong opened his mouth that day.

It is extremely difficult to remove one's membership from Le. Even though the Jiaofang Division is under the management of the Ministry of Rites, even the Minister of Rites does not have the right to remove the people there.

Tuoleji will receive a pardon or a grace order.

An amnesty is a large-scale pardon issued by officials out of various considerations when the country encounters major events, such as the accession of a new emperor to the throne, a century-old disaster, etc.

As for the favor order, someone goes to the official and asks for the official's favor to leave the country. There are only two reasons for asking. The first one is more common, which is that there are singing and dancing performers who are attracted by some people and want to be included in the family.

As concubines, these people are close to the emperor, or they have asked someone close to the emperor to talk to them and ask for an order to leave their country.

The second theory is that the request is somewhat inappropriate. In fact, the reason or reasons for joining the Jiaofangsi in the first place are no longer valid. Most of the time, the family has been rehabilitated, so the pardon is granted, but the official family wants to save face and has to be raised by the ministers. This is more reasonable.

It is rare, and only family members of prisoners can do this, and not all family members of prison officers are in the Jiaofang Department.

When Zhao Tong opened his mouth, Qi Hongyu wrote down seven names in total, including seven of her own people who had deregistered their citizenship. All seven of them were descendants of prisoners, but in the Jiaofang Division they were the kind who kept themselves clean and were relatively innocent.

At this time, the Jiaofangsi was not as chaotic as in later dynasties. At this time, the musicians and performers in the Jiaofangsi were mostly engaged in singing and dancing. Although the Jiaofangsi also had a brothel, they were deployed separately from the kabuki musicians.

Of course, there are also women who take the initiative to seduce officials and seek to leave their citizenship, and there are also women who give up on themselves and act randomly. After all, there are all kinds of people who can come in, but since Qi Hongyu can write down his name, Zhao Tong will not ask, he believes that Qi Hongyu

The vision of red fish.

The little sister who opened the Red Fish Tea Shop with Qi Hongyu is called Zhao Paner. She is young but very smart. She came up with this business.

Of course, it is not easy to open a tea shop next to Zhouqiao, especially for a group of women. The city of Tokyo is a mixed bag of dragons and snakes, especially in the city, where there are all kinds of forces and people with no background.

I can't get involved in the business at all. I'm reading a book

On the first day of opening the shop, someone came to look for trouble, and asked the people from Suiyulou to break all the legs. Another fight came in the evening, but this time he directly saw the lives of people. Only then did he become afraid, but he knew that there was a group of desperate people behind the tea shop.

disciple.

Jianghu affairs are naturally unofficial, and the reputation spreads naturally. Since then, the gangsters in the Zhouqiao area have been given face, and they have no courage to provoke them again.

Later, the business was booming, but the officialdom came again to cause trouble. It was just that Zhouqiao was surrounded by money-spinners. You couldn't get oil and water anywhere, otherwise you wouldn't be able to do a stable business. Officially, they didn't make trouble like gangs, but they wanted to find you at will. With the excuse of a law, people can be taken in, and the plundering is no more soft than the green forest in the rivers and lakes.

Naturally, the matter was settled, and the fight went all the way to Kaifeng Mansion. Several levels of officials were involved, and more than a dozen people were arrested. Only then did they realize how powerful it was, and they could do business well from then on.

Lei San and Zhang Xian had both been here before. They were familiar with the road and arrived in front of the tea shop in a short time.

But the situation is not right now. The best time for tea shop business is in the afternoon or before dinner. It is empty at this moment, and there are not many people coming and going in the shop.

Lei San opened the door to the store, and Qi Hongyu hurriedly greeted him inside. He smiled and said, "Young Master is coming, why don't you tell Hongyu in advance so that Hongyu can be prepared?"

Zhao Tong said: "I'm well prepared. I walked around the market and stopped by to take a look."

Qi Hongyu invited several people into the house, chose the best seats to sit down, and then said: "I asked Pan'er to come over and pay homage to the young master."

Zhao Tong looked inside the tea shop. Although it was not as big as the time-honored Dingjia Su Tea Shop at Daxiangguo Temple, it was no less generous, with twenty or thirty tables set up.

There were only a few tables occupied at the moment, and two young men were sitting by the window. They were talking loudly about major world affairs, but as they were talking, the topic went astray and they actually talked about Xixia. They said that Emperor Li Qianshun of Xixia had a concubine named Xixia. As a mirror, she is so charming and graceful that she is unparalleled, comparable to Daji and Baosi in ancient times. She was so bewitched that Li Qianshun did not go to court for half a year. Beauty is really a disaster.

The person sitting at the table next to him was a well-known scholar, not a poor one. He was well-dressed. He was drinking tea and eating snacks slowly, listening to the two young men bragging and talking, with a hint of ridicule at the corner of his mouth from time to time.

There is also a family of five, which seems to be just an ordinary family. The couple and their three children only ordered two drinks and gave them to the three children, but the adults were reluctant to take a sip.

There was a fat man sitting there, well-dressed and with a big belly. He set a table for food and looked at the direction Qi Hongyu was leaving from time to time, with a sad expression.

Zhao Tong and others sat at two tables, one for him and his wife, Zhang Xian, and one for Lei San, Wu Xiaodao, and Jiner. The tabletops were quite loose, with things bought at the market placed on the floor.

At this time, Qi Hongyu led a girl in blue over. Zhao Tong looked at it. The girl was beautiful, dignified, and elegant. When she came over, she knelt down and said, "Pan'er has thanked you for your great kindness. Pan'er doesn't know how to repay you. As long as the young master has instructions, I hope that my son will be willing to work as a cow or a horse to repay the young master's kindness."

Zhao Tong shook his head and said: "What's wrong with this? If you really want to repay the favor, just set up a table with delicious food and drinks."

He asked someone to help Zhao Pan'er up. Originally, he didn't want to see Qi Hongyu and the sisters, but now that they were here, he couldn't help it. He also heard that Qi Hongyu said that Zhao Pan'er had a smart temper, so he thought it would be okay for the two of them to work together to make a business together.

After Zhao Pan'er got up, he bowed again and said, "Master, please sit down for a moment. Pan'er will go and prepare the food, which will satisfy the Master."

After saying that, she turned around and went to the back to prepare. Seeing that she knew how to advance and retreat, Zhao Tong couldn't help but nodded slightly. At this time, the door of the store outside sounded and someone walked in.

But he is also a famous scholar. This scholar is not like the one sitting in the room originally, who looks a bit too student in temperament. I don’t know if he skipped class or took a break today and sneaked here to drink tea in Zhouqiao.

The person who came in from the outside was dressed normally, without a hat, wearing a cotton scarf, and a dark cotton gown. He looked handsome, but he was a little shivering from the cold.

After he walked in, he glanced at the cabinet with a puzzled look. Then he saw Qi Hongyu, and couldn't help but walk over quickly and whispered: "Sister Qi, where is Pan'er?"
