Chapter 1243: See Beauty Again
The outer building is a five-storey restaurant with a high reputation, which is very famous in Luoyang. Because it is not only very different from others, but also has a beautiful environment and warm service. In just five years since its opening, it has the momentum of "not going upstairs and going to Luoyang in vain". Of course, this building belongs to Liu Yu's property, but outsiders don't know it.
Entering the door of the outer building, there is a foyer, where two clever maids and girls gently wipe the dust on the guests before lifting the curtain of the foyer and inviting the guests into the main hall.
As soon as you enter the main hall, you can feel the warm air rushing to your face, accompanied by the faint aroma of plants and trees. Because in the center of the hall, more than a dozen large wooden barrels filled with various colors of flowers and trees are scattered in the hall, although they are all green leaves, but this green is extremely rare in the late autumn in the north, adding a lot of fresh breath to the room out of thin air.
Downstairs, between the wooden barrels and grass, there are a few coffee tables scattered, at a glance, you know that it is not used for eating and drinking, but like a garden in the house, quite a little leisure and elegance in it.
This design is naturally from Liu Yu's handiwork, because Liu Yu knows that most of the people who can come to eat in this kind of high-end restaurant are not ordinary people, who are either powerful or powerful. These people have seen a lot of the world, and eating is no longer about taste, but about eating a grade and a mood, and this kind of style is exactly what they need.
After seeing Liu Yu and them, a well-behaved girl came to greet them. This is also Liu Yu's regulation, although at first some people objected to women coming out to show their heads, but under Liu Yu's strength. In the end, everyone accepted the arrangement. Of course, it's not that no one harasses these pretty girls, but the backstage of this restaurant is Liu Yu. But whoever dares to make trouble, all of them will be knocked out and thrown out. It doesn't matter if he is a prince and nobleman, or a gangster!
The familiar girl led the girl to an elegant private room on the fourth floor, and the tables in these private rooms were imitated from the later restaurants. The large round table was made of good wood, and there was a small circle of wooden plates on top of the round table, after all, the glass production of this era was limited.
After taking a seat, her own girl served fragrant tea. Then the curtain of the door of the room was lifted, and in came a handsome man with a wooden plate, on which rested three steaming squares. This is for diners to wipe their faces.
Liu Yu rubbed his face vigorously with a hand towel, took a few breaths of moisture, and then picked up the fragrant tea he had just served and took a sip, feeling that the muscles that were tense from shopping all over his body relaxed. looked at Mi Lu and Cao Ying who showed comfortable expressions on the side. He smiled and said, "What do you want to eat?" ”
Although Mi Lu and Cao Ying are both frequent visitors to the building. Each has their own favorite dishes, but they still obediently said: "Husband, you can take the idea!" ”
Liu Yu didn't shirk either, nodded, and said to the girl in charge of setting the dishes: "Braised assortment, steamed ham, kung pao chicken, boiled fish, dried shredded chicken juice, husband and wife lung slices, by the way, it's a pot of Yipinchun, okay." That's it! ”
"Okay, please sit down for a while!"
"Husband. How do you know my favorite dish with shredded chicken juice? Cao Ying looked at Liu Yu and asked with a surprised expression.
Mi Lu also nodded and agreed: "Yes, even my favorite steamed ham was ordered......
"Really?" Although Liu Yu had already learned about Mi Lu and Cao Ying's preferences from Liu Yu and the others, he still pretended to be surprised and said, "Do you also like to eat these two dishes?" I love it too! ”
This sentence is not intended to curry, because these two dishes are indeed delicious. Dried shredded chicken juice, first put the cooked shredded chicken, cooked chicken gizzard slices, cooked chicken liver slices, and winter bamboo shoot slices into the chicken broth and simmer, then serve with fried shrimp, shredded ham, and cooked pea sprouts. It tastes smooth, fragrant and appetizing. Steamed ham, on the other hand, is made by steaming pork legs with salted pork legs and fine honey. The ham is originally very dense with meat, but this dish is steamed with honey, and the sweetness and aroma of honey completely penetrate into the ham, which is not only a compliment to the taste, but also a lot of loose meat. It tastes fragrant but not greasy, and it is full of sweetness.
Liu Yu asked with a smile while eating delicious dishes: "You also know that I can only give you the title of a concubine at most now, and I'm afraid that I can't even hold a fair wedding, don't you regret it?" ”
In front of Liu Yu, he was unpretentious, and said with a mouth full of honey oil: "I heard about your heroic deeds a long time ago, and I was very interested in you at that time. Later, I learned some things about you from Meiyu that are unknown to outsiders, and after a few contacts, I decided that you are the best man in the world, and I will never marry anyone else except you! ”
"Yes," Cao Ying also added, "I'd rather be a heroic concubine than a mortal wife." ”
At this time, a pleasant but somewhat sharp voice suddenly came from the side: "He is also a hero in the world?" ”
This sentence was obviously stimulated and suddenly raised in a voice that made Liu Yu, Mi Lu, and Cao Ying look at each other and smile, because she took it just right. Out of curiosity, the three of them eavesdropped on the conversation in the private room next door.
"Of course he's a hero! Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there has been no victory in large and small wars, and his fierce generals are like clouds, and his strategists are like rain, and he is one of the few people in the world. He is not only strong in martial arts, but also a member of the Han family......"
It was also a young woman who spoke, her voice soft and pleasant, and somewhat familiar. However, Liu Yu didn't think about it, because he felt that the person in this sentence seemed to be talking about him! Not only Liu Yu feels this way, but even Mi Lu and Cao Ying think the same.
“…… Well, even if he's a hero! The woman who spoke first said, "But he is about the same age as my father, so why do you have to let me marry him?" ”
Liu Yu was slightly stunned, and shrugged at Mi Lu and Cao Ying, who were looking at him with playful eyes, indicating that he didn't know about this matter...... It's weird, who wants to please him is forcing his daughter?
"Husband, it seems that there is another person in the family!" Mi Lu's expression was a little complicated, and she couldn't tell if it was congratulations. Still jealous.
"Don't talk nonsense! I don't know anything about this, maybe it's someone else, right? Liu Yu felt unconfident when he said this.
"Apart from you, husband, who else can be called a hero at that time!" Cao Ying's words made Liu Yu a little embarrassed. Just about to be modest, she said hatefully: "That woman is too ignorant, what an exciting thing it is to marry her husband, she still pushes back?" Hmph, there will be a good ...... for her in the future."
Liu Yu was about to sweat, and he really didn't know what to say about this little woman......
"Actually, it doesn't matter if you're older, but you will regret some ......"
Cao Ying nodded when she heard the latter woman's words. Holding Liu Yu's arm, he smiled sweetly: "This sister is very sensible, and what she said is too right." The husband is a good man who is very good at deploring people! ”
Liu Yu smiled and kissed Cao Ying, a delicate beauty, and continued to listen intently.
"It turns out that Sister Ling likes older people, no wonder my brother hasn't reacted after chasing you for so long! Hee-hee......"
“…… I'm obviously talking about you, why is it involving me again......"
“…… Sister Ling. People are finally in a good mood. Destroyed by you again! …… Ah~~, I can't figure it out, why does my father want me to marry that old man? ”
The woman known as "Sister Ling" was silent for a moment before she said softly: "Uncle is having a hard time now, the enemy's power is getting stronger and stronger, if you don't make a few allies, maybe you will be ......."
Hearing this, the doubts in Liu Yu's heart became more and more vigorous. The father of the woman to be married did not seem to be his subordinate. It's some prince! And pro? …… Could this be the sister that Liu Xuan and the others were looking for without him? …… It's not, if it was Liu Yu and they did it. The two of them should know about it...... What the hell is going on?
Mi Lu and Cao Ying also seemed to hear a little wrong, and they both looked at Liu Yu with beautiful eyes! Liu Yu smiled at them and motioned to continue eavesdropping.
"But why do you have to use this method to form an alliance......"
"Since the other party is the head of one side and has no wife, you will immediately be the lord of the mother after you pass, and only in this way can the stability of the covenant be ensured......"
“…… It's all that damn Liu Yu, if it weren't for him, my father wouldn't have married me to ......"
"Okay, this is someone else's territory, so you can complain less......"
Liu Yu was speechless at this time, daring to love him had been making himself amorous before! Mi Lu and Cao Ying also chuckled slightly red, it seemed that they had misunderstood what others had said before, just like Liu Yu.
"Husband, do you know who they are?" Mi Lu smiled and asked curiously.
Liu Yu thought for a while and said, "The woman who wants to marry an old man should be Sun Jian's daughter Sun Shangxiang, I heard that her father is going to marry her to Liu Bei." As for the woman who persuaded her, I'm not sure ......."
Cao Ying was not interested in the identities of these two women, but was a little skeptical of the words of "Sister Ling": "Husband, is that Liu Bei also a hero at that time?" Why do I listen to that woman's description, the more I listen to it, the more I look like you? ”
"Hehe," Liu Yu explained with a smile, "Liu Bei is a standard Han clan relative after King Jing of Zhongshan. His male and female swords also have a place on the 'swordsman list', and it is definitely not an exaggeration to say that he is strong in martial arts. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he led 500 village soldiers to resist thieves, expanded his strength in the war, and made many achievements. Later, Jingnan suppressed bandits and leveled Jiaozhou, which was indeed invincible and invincible......"
"Hmph, how can his little record be compared to his husband?!" Cao Ying seems to be unable to see others beating Liu Yu: "In the first battle of the Yellow Turban, the husband killed the two Taiping giants of Digong and Rengong, and his reputation spread far and wide. Later, they surrendered without a fight, and surrendered hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban defeated troops. After the war, he had to serve as the pastor of Yuzhou, which was comparable to Liu Bei's small Sima of other departments! ”
"Not bad." Mi Lu also agreed with Cao Ying's statement: "Liu Bei just exterminated a local bandit and defeated a family's rebellion. The husband subdued the Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Qiang tribes, the three foreign races that had suffered from the Han Dynasty for more than 100 years, and defeated the northern heroes, and returned the military and political power of the northern states to the imperial court, which can be described as a high achievement. Liu Bei, what qualifications can be compared with his husband......"
The praise of these two new wives for their own family made Liu Yu a little ashamed, especially Mi Lu, the famous Mrs. Mi in history, who was contemptuous of Liu Bei, made Liu Yu not know what to say, so he had to laugh it off.
But. Cao Yingdu still refused to give up, and said with disdain: "As for Liu Bei's hundreds of thousands of troops, the husband can be wiped out with his hands." And his men. I haven't heard of a few concubines, how can I be praised as 'fierce generals are like clouds, and strategists are like rain'? ”
"No, no, no." Liu Yu shook his head and admonished: "Ying'er, you are wrong. Although it is indeed an exaggeration to say that Liu Bei's army is like a fierce general and a strategist is like rain, there are indeed several powerful characters under him! ”
"Oh?" Mi Lu hugged Liu Yu's other arm and asked curiously, "Who are the people who can make your husband regard as a 'powerful character'?" ”
"Liu Bei has the so-called Five Tiger Generals under him. They are Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Ou Xing, but only the first three can be put in my eyes. ”
"Why?" This time, even Cao Ying sounded interested.
"Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are both inappropriate, and their courage can be ranked in the top ten even in our army. Cheng Pu is both wise and brave. He has a very good set in commanding troops. And Han Dang and Ou Xing are just two generals with good martial arts in my eyes, people like them, although they are already a few generals in Liu Beijun, but I have a lot of them here! ”
"Can such a person also be the commander of the Five Tigers?" Cao Ying pouted. said: "Could it be that there is no one else in Liu Bei's army?" ”
"Huh. Although there are no generals who can compare with Guan, Zhang, and Cheng, there are two that can still be comparable to Han and Ou! One was Sha Moke, the chief warrior of the Wuxi clan, and the other was Xing Daorong, who Liu Bei recruited in Lingling. ”
Cao Ying didn't care about these two people who didn't have a good name, and she looked like her left ear was in and out of her right ear. Mi Lu was much more thoughtful, and after silently reciting the names of the two, he asked, "Then what are the powerful characters of Liu Bei's strategists?" ”
"The first one on the list is the Jingxiang celebrity Pang Degong, you should have heard of his name, right?" After seeing that Mi Lu and Cao Ying both nodded, Liu Yu smiled bitterly and said, "There is one thing you probably don't know. This Pang Degong was actually introduced to Liu Bei by me! ”
"Huh? How so...... Husband, why don't you accept Pang Degong yourself? The two new daughters-in-law were surprised and puzzled.
"Is this...... In fact, I was scared of Liu Bei's crying at the time......" Then Liu Yu told Liu Bei about the crying and begging Liu Yu to introduce him to the military divisions, and Mi Lu laughed so much that he couldn't straighten his waist.
"Don't regret it, husband. What's so great about a Pang Degong, not to mention that Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and other world-famous wise people under Fujun can win, even young wise men such as Xu Shu and Fa Zheng will not be weaker than him......"
Although this is the truth, Liu Yu still regrets his behavior back then. "Lulu, don't you know, I lost a Pang Degong, which is equivalent to losing Pang Tong......"
"Who is Pang Tong? Isn't it amazing? The wry smile on Liu Yu's face greatly increased Cao Ying's interest.
"Pang Tong is the nephew of Pang Degong, and his wisdom can be said to be better than the blue. Now, this Pang Tong has emerged in Liu Bei's army, and Zhang Song, who defected to Liu Bei with Liu Zhang, is called 'Jingjiao Erhu'. But outsiders call them 'Jing Jiao Erugly'! ”
"Isn't it because both of them are ugly?"
"Yes. It is said that Pang Tong has thick eyebrows and a nose, a black face and short hair, and a strange description. Zhang Song, on the other hand, has a convex forehead, a pointed head, a nose and teeth, a body length of less than five feet, and his speech is like a bell. ”
Hearing Liu Yu's description of Liu Bei's two young military advisors, Mi Lu and Cao Ying both burst out laughing. At this moment, the sound of chewing next door stopped, and the words sounded again.
"Sister Ling, this time it really hurt you, so that you and Sister Long want to accompany me to the end of the world......"
"Xiang'er, don't say that, in fact, Long'er and I have already wanted to come to the north to see it......"
"Hehe, now the family must already know that we ran away, I hope that Big Brother and Brother Zhou Yu won't be angry with me because I kidnapped you and Sister Long......"
“…… Xiang'er, don't connect me with your big brother again, okay......"
"Okay, okay, if you don't say it, don't say it, Sister Ling, don't frown! This is delicious, you can eat some more......"
“…… Okay, you can eat too, the food in this place is really good, we haven't eaten anything in Jiangdong! ”
Xiang'er? Koto? That woman is really Sun Shangxiang! Then, the so-called "Sister Ling" and "Sister Long" are the famous big and small Joe!
"Of course, I asked the innkeeper before I came. He said that this 'Louwailou' is a famous restaurant known as 'Luoyang's first floor', and there has always been a saying that 'if you don't go upstairs, you will come to Luoyang in vain'! ”
"Hmm. What a name it deserves! ”
Hearing this, Liu Yu was very proud in his heart, and he was almost about to order him to be exempted! Mi Lu and Cao Ying, who are their own people, naturally know that the real owner of this outer building is Liu Yu, so they are also honored to praise Sun Shangxiang and them.
"Speaking of which, there are really a lot of novelties in Luoyang. Sister Ling, let's stay here for a few more days, I want to go to the theater tomorrow to listen to music! ”
"Okay. We'll stay in Luoyang until you get bored! ”
"Yes, yes...... Tomorrow, let's pull Sister Long out too. There are so many delicious and fun things in Luoyang, why do you stay in the house and practice......"
After half an hour, the two beauties who came from afar finally satisfied their appetites. Call Yahuan to settle the bill.
"Husband." After Cao Ying heard the noise over there, she came up with an idea for Liu Yu and said: "They are also important figures in Jiangdong, and they are the key to the alliance between Jiangdong and Jingnan, so let's take them down!" ”
Although Liu Yu didn't want to embarrass these two juniors, he really wanted to see what the two little beauties who met by the lake looked like after two or three years! So he smiled and said: "It's not necessary to take them down, I didn't take the Jiangdong Jingnan alliance in my eyes at all!" But I'd like to see what these two girls have become now! ”
"What, husband, have you seen them before?" Mi Lu noticed Liu Yu's statement. He asked with interest.
"Yes." Liu Yu nodded and said, "I've listened to it for so long." I can already be sure that the one called 'Xiang'er' is Jiangdong Sun Jian's baby daughter Sun Shangxiang, and the one called 'Sister Ling' should be Qiao Ling of Jiangdong Qiao's family, as for the so-called 'Sister Long', most of them are her sister Qiao Long! ”
"Husband, what we care about is not their identity, but the relationship between you and them!" Listening to Cao Ying's tone, it seemed to mean something.
"What can I do with them!" Liu Yu gently bumped Cao Ying with his head a little funny, and said, "I saw Sun Shangxiang and Qiao Ling by a lake in Xuzhou back then!" ”
"Lakeside?" Cao Ying's eyes rolled, and she asked with a strange expression: "Husband, what were those two girls doing by the lake at that time?" ”
The sweat on Liu Yu's back came out all of a sudden. Can this be blunt? Once these wives and concubines know that he hid in the lake and peeked at the two little girls taking a bath, then he would definitely be ridiculed to death...... You can't even say that you are killed!
At this time, Liu Yu happened to notice the thoughtfulness on Mi Lu's face, and immediately hurriedly asked as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw: "Lulu, what are you thinking?" ”
Mi Lu didn't notice the secret battle between Liu Yu and Cao Ying, and said in response: "Husband, the Qiao Ling and Qiao Long you mentioned are ranked sixth and seventh on the 'Stunning List', known as the 'Famous Lady' and the 'Lingbo Dragon Girl' of the Jiangdong Qiao family's sisters?" ”
"Yes, it's them."
Cao Ying also exclaimed slightly: "It turned out to be them, I said why does this name sound very familiar!" Speaking of this, the little woman put on her cute and strange look again: "Husband, I have heard that the concubines are both only eighteen years old this year. Sister Qiao Ling is known as the 'famous lady', with the gentle temperament of everyone's ladies, and has fascinated thousands of heroes in Jiangdong, including Sun Ce, the first hero in the young generation of Jiangdong. Sister Qiao Long apprenticed to Yun Shuai, who is known as 'the first in the world in light kung fu', his sex is as jealous as hatred, and his person is as cold as frost, even Zhou Yu, the first genius in Jiangdong, can't move his heart. Are you ......"
"What is it! They've gone downstairs to ask someone to lead the horse, what are you going to do? Liu Yu said angrily. Is he really that in their hearts?!
Hearing Liu Yu say this, Cao Ying immediately became anxious: "Let's go, let's go, let's follow, I want to see what this pair of sisters who have made countless heroes in Jiangdong fall in love look like!" ”
Liu Yu and Mi Lu had no opinion on this, and after instructing the shopkeeper to bring three good horses, they chased after the two beauties and started the tail line.
At this time, it was already after dusk, and night was falling, but the two beauties not only did not leave the inn, but galloped out of the city.
"Husband, did you say that they found out that we were following them, so they deliberately led us out of the city?" Seeing the abnormal actions of the two beauties, Cao Ying was a little strange.
Liu Yu smiled and shook his head: "Probably not, looking at their direction, they should be settled in the 'Guanlin Inn' outside the city." (To be continued.) )
