Chapter 56 The story of the dyer and the barber-13

During this time, Epi Gou often heard people talking about the bathhouse.People always say to each other: "The bathhouse is the greatest enjoyment in the world. By Allah, let's go to the bathhouse together with friends tomorrow." Hearing these remarks, Api Gou thought to himself, "I don't believe it. I'd like to see what the charming bathhouse looks like." So he put on his most splendid clothes, rode on a mule, and was escorted by eight servants. Surrounded by them, they went to the bathhouse.As soon as I arrived in front of the bathhouse, I could smell the fragrance of agarwood, and I saw people coming in and out, and it was full of officials and ordinary people.

He goes into the bathroom. As soon as Aipy Sui saw him, he happily stood up to entertain him. "Are you a gentleman by doing this?" Aipi Gou suddenly said to Aipi Sui: "I opened a dyeing workshop, became a famous dyeing master, and met the king. I run a dyeing workshop, and there are many slaves. No need to worry about food and clothing, everyone fawns on me, but you don't come to see me, and don't ask where my good friend is wandering! I went to find you, I sent servants to inns and other places to look around, but they I don't know where you are, and you haven't heard from anyone."

"I haven't looked for you? Didn't you beat me up like a thief in front of everyone?" "What do you mean?" Aipi Gou pretended to be terrified, "Could it be that you were the one I beat and scolded?" "That's right! It's me who you beat, scold and insult." Eppy Gou sighed, swore, and kept saying that it was a misunderstanding because he didn't recognize Eppie Sui.He also argued strongly: "There is a person who looks like you, who often sneaks into my dyeing workshop to steal the dyed cloth, so I mistook you for a thief." He clapped his hands with a look of remorse, "No Way, may Allah help me! I treated you badly, but why didn’t you tell me who you were at that time? You are also responsible for this matter, because you didn’t tell me clearly, and I was so busy that I lost my head Well."

"Brother, Allah forgives you. It was destined in the previous life. Come! Take off your clothes, take a bath, and be comfortable." "Swear to Allah, man! Will you forgive me?" "Oh, I was destined to be unlucky in my previous life. May Allah forgive you and cancel our grievances." "How did you manage this business?" "It's all thanks to your method of opening the dyeing room. You reminded me. I followed your method and asked the king to talk about the need to build a bathhouse. He built this bathhouse for me." "Oh, I also asked the king to help me start a family. Allah, I will ask the king to look at my face and favor you. Maybe he doesn't know that you are my partner? I will tell him all this and introduce you What about him?"

"No. I have a good relationship with the king and the ministers, and they have given me many rewards. Please, please take off your clothes, hang them behind the counter, and go to the bathhouse. I will wash with you. You wipe your back." Aipi Gou took off his clothes, and Aipie Sui went to the bathroom with him. He devoted himself to serving the dyer, wiping his back and washing him.After washing, they served tea and meals.He amazed his customers with such humility towards his friends.Before leaving, Aipi Gou wanted to pay for the bath, but he refused to accept it, saying: "You have to be serious about such a small matter. Don't be like this. We are friends. We shouldn't distinguish between you and me."

"Brother! Swear to Allah, this bathhouse is very beautiful, but there is still a fly in the ointment." "Oh?" "If you make a potion out of arsenic and lime, it will be the best hair-plucking potion. You make this potion and offer it to the king when he comes to take a bath. The king will love and respect you even more if he gets that kind of enjoyment." rdquo ; "You are right. If Allah wills, I will thank you."
