Chapter 41: The Banquet
"But no matter what, Xiaoxue was also injured because of you, so she sent it away with a few words?" Zhang Ling'er on the side said with a wicked smile. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Forehead......" Li Changan had a black line on his forehead, so he had to say: "In this case, after apologizing, let's invite Miss Zhou to have a meal, and apologize, how about it?" ”
"Okay." Zhou Xue covered her mouth and chuckled.
Wang Maoyu on the side also shrugged his shoulders, looking in a good mood, which made Li Changan on the side roll his eyes.
"Isn't it happy in your heart?" Li Changan said with a dark face.
Wang Maoyu smiled and said, "No, I haven't eaten a few good meals with you in the past few days, and I was in Qing...... last night I didn't eat well in the restaurant. ”
Li Changan glared at Wang Maoyu fiercely, is this guy's mouth leaking? I almost missed my mouth.
It was Zhou Xue on the side, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, which was incredibly beautiful.
Zhang Ling'er complained: "Li Changan, you are so stingy. ”
"I'm running out of money, okay!" Li Changan was powerless.
Speaking of this, in fact, Li Changan really doesn't have much silver on his body.
He has lived in seclusion in the mountains with his master Li Duan since he was a child, and he has no concept of silver taels at all, nor does he have any savings at all.
Even the money he uses now is mainly "borrowed" from the bandits he met on the way out of the mountain, and of course, he doesn't have to pay it back.
Although there was still one or two hundred taels of silver at the beginning, I accompanied Zhou Bei in that town for half a year, and although the cost was small, there was not much left.
In addition, it cost a lot to come to Lingdong City, if Dongtai Qingsu hadn't given him no account last night, I'm afraid he would already be poor.
There are only a dozen taels of silver left in the purse.
It's not much, but it's enough to have a good meal.
But after eating, I'm afraid you need to think about how to make money.
Needless to say, at the instigation of the three guys who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, Li Changan gritted his teeth and chose a more high-grade restaurant.
Joy Pavilion.
Looking at the big sign at the door, Li Changan led the way and walked in with three people.
Xile Xuan is an old restaurant in Lingdong City, and after all, it must be more than 20 years, and the boss is still an old man in his fifties.
"What do you want to eat?" When I came to the counter, there was only an old man and a little second who was settling accounts, and the old man was smiling, but he was very amiable.
"Old Zhou, look, I'm here again." Zhang Ling'er jumped out instead, laughed hecklessly, and said to the old man, looking like he knew each other.
Zhou Lao saw it, laughed, and scolded with a smile: "It turns out that you are a little girl, who liked to come to me to make trouble when she was a child, why don't you come here often these days?" ”
Feelings are still old acquaintances, should be Zhang Linger's elders, right?
Li Chang'an felt relieved that his purse could produce a little less blood.
"Are you bringing your friends with you today?" Zhou Lao squinted at Li Changan and the others, and said, "Go upstairs, be spacious." ”
"I know that Old Zhou loves me the most." Zhang Ling'er smiled cutely, and Zhou Lao also laughed helplessly, but also with some kindness and relief.
……
"Good words, good links."
"Old man Li's calligraphy and painting are really getting more and more charming."
"That is, Mr. Li has been a teacher for more than ten years, he is a good teacher, and he is well-read."
At this time, there was a cheer from the side, but it was blocked by the stairs and could not be seen.
Li Changan asked, "Old Zhou, what is this?" ”
Zhou Lao squinted his eyes and looked over there, but he was also blocked by the stairs and couldn't see it, but said, "This is someone inscribed for my restaurant." ”
"Inscription?"
"yes!" Zhou Lao touched his beard and explained: "The restaurant has been open for more than 20 years, and at this time of year, it is always necessary to change a pair of character couplets. ”
"I see." Li Changan suddenly realized that although he was not interested in the inscription, he was interested in his daughter Red for twenty years.
So, he secretly asked, "Old Zhou, how does your daughter's red taste good?" ”
"Of course it's spirits like fire, haha." Zhou Lao touched his beard and laughed, "Does this boy want to try it too?" ”
"That is, you have to try a good wine." Li Changan said with a smile.
Since he just arrived in the border town and drank wine for the first time, he has fallen in love with this fiery taste, and even during the half a year that Zhou Bei was recuperating from his injury, he never left his mouth.
With such a great wine, it is natural that this opportunity cannot be wasted.
The people next to them also showed strong interest, although Zhang Ling'er and Zhou Xue were not interested in the wine, but they were interested in the inscription.
On the contrary, Li Changan and Wang Maoyu liked to drink.
Of course, Wang Maoyu was taken bad by Li Changan.
Li Changan can only say about this situation: "Good things are shared together." ”
Since they are all interested, they naturally do not ink.
Li Changan quietly stayed and asked Zhou Lao to order some cheaper dishes, although they were cheap, but they were better than the quantity, and even so, it cost five or six taels of silver.
Hurriedly followed the crowd.
The view behind the stairs is not at all the same as at the front desk.
The front desk is full of some warriors eating together, noisy and shouting, and it is not safe to eat, that is, the second floor is relatively clean as Zhou Lao said.
But behind the stairs is a different world, a small study, surrounded by calligraphy and paintings, which looks very good.
On the desk in the center, there are four treasures of the study, and there are more than a dozen scholar-like people surrounding there.
In the middle is an old man who is writing a pen, as if he has a high prestige, and he seems to be fifty or sixty years old.
"It's Mr. Li." Zhou Xue on the side recognized it, in the end, it was the daughter of a big family, not only proficient in female workers, but also proficient in these piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and there are not many famous artists in this small Lingdong City.
Generally, some knowledgeable young ladies can recognize it, of course, Li Chang'an's four people are exceptions.
Needless to say, Zhang Ling'er is good at learning female workers.
Li Changan and Wang Maoyu have also lived in isolation since childhood, how do they know this.
Naturally, there is only one Zhou Xue with vision.
But even so, few people paid attention to them.
At most, a few people cast a curious look, as if they were curious about the two swordsmen Li Changan and Wang Maoyu dressed as two famous eldest ladies in Lingdong City, and thought that they were two eldest ladies with two bodyguards.
However, at this time, it was the time for Old Man Li to show his might, and obviously no one cared about them.
