Chapter 53: Murong Gongzi
Because of the melodious pair set up in the Negotiation Hall, he unexpectedly obtained a thousand taels of silver.
"It's yours!" The handsome man brought the tray with the silver taels.
"Is this your pair?" Melodious asked suspiciously.
"I don't know what brother Tai has to teach me?" The man smiled and nodded.
"Not really, I just wanted to ask if I could exchange silver for silver tickets?" Melodious is really entangled in this thousand taels of silver, for her unrestrained chicken, how dangerous it is to hold so much bright silver.
The corners of the man's mouth twitched faintly, his eyes seemed to have a touch of interest, and he looked melodious up and down for a long time and nodded slightly, he waved his hand and ordered his entourage to take back the silver, took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, took out a thousand taels and handed it over, and said. "Dare to ask Brother Taigui's surname? In the next today, the mystery set up in the Consultation Hall is to gather friends with literature, and make friends with people of insight in the world, and now a banquet has been set up in Xuanyi Building, I wonder if Brother Tai can enjoy his face? β
The melodious hand that went to get the silver ticket suddenly stalemate, and the feeling that the silver ticket was still a hot potato, she didn't take it, and she didn't take it.
"What, I don't know what else is wrong with my brother?" The man smiled open-mindedly, as if his whole body would glow.
"Then it's better to be respectful." Melodious quickly took back the silver ticket and put it in her arms, I don't know what the danger of taking this silver ticket is, but if you don't take it, she will really go to sleep on the street tonight.
"Please!" The man politely said please and went out of the hall first, followed by melodious, surrounded by eyes, there was appreciation, regret, envy, and jealousy.
Appreciation and envy not to mention, this regret is somewhat meaningful, saying that this handsome man set a strange pair, less than a morning attracted dozens of young talented women, and even more have bets, all looking forward to a certain beauty can make the next couplet, talented and beautiful people to achieve a pair of beautiful marriage. Who knew that this pair of couplets was a man who was not good-looking, and it really made the onlookers feel sorry for the jealousy of the participants.
Xuanyi Building is not far away, just opposite the Consultation Hall, melodious with the man upstairs and sat in the window room, look around, the restaurant is elegantly decorated, the restaurant is red and willow green, the scenery is very good.
As the man said, the banquet was ready, and there were more than a dozen expensive dishes with meat and vegetables and a pot of turbid wine on the table. But a certain woman who has always been a foodie can't raise her appetite today, and it is inevitable that she will feel a little upset when she sits at the table.
The man's slender fingers held the jade pot and raised, tilted, and the transparent elixir fell into the cup in a perfect arc, and the sound was crisp and pleasant.
The man brought the wine cup to Melodious and smiled. "In the next Fu surname Murong, I don't know Brother Taigui's surname?"
Melodious took the wine cup and smiled. "Don't have your surname Qu."
"I am fortunate to make friends with Brother Qu today, and I invite Haihan if the hospitality is not good." The man raised the wine glass with both hands, and when he finished speaking, he raised his neck and drank the wine in the glass.
Melodious had to take a glass and swallow the wine in the cup in one gulp, the wine crossed the esophagus, and the spicy burning sensation made her want to cry, but she had to endure it when others were suspicious.
"Judging from the couplet that Brother Qu opposes, Brother Qu must be knowledgeable, but Brother Qu often travels all over the world?" The man smiled and said appreciatively.
"It's not erudition, it's just a coincidence." Melodious embarrassed smile, praying in her heart that this person would not delve into it further, and if she said a few more words, she was afraid that she would be exposed, and then she didn't know if this hard-won silver ticket would go back on the spot.
"Brother Qu is too modest, in the past, there were heroes who cooked wine, and now there is a glass of wine to reward confidants, you and I brothers will have a good drink today, and they will not return if they are not drunk." The man raised his hand and filled the wine cup in front of them.
The corners of Melodious Mouth's mouth twitched, the corners of her eyes twitched, and even her heart twitched, she had always been a poor drinker, and it would be difficult to drink like this without being exposed.
"This cup is going to make amends to Murong Gongzi, and there are important things to do, so I can't accompany Gongzi to drink more." Melodious hurriedly picked up the cup and drank it all, no longer giving the man a chance to speak, got up and fled in a hurry.
Looking at the melodious back, the man smiled meaningfully and said to himself. "Hehe, Brother Qu? It's kind of interesting! β
Wu Wangfu was already turned over at this time, and after a few days of investigation and search, even the thieves a few years ago have been arrested, but the princess still has no news.
"Your Highness!" The butler hurried into the study.
"Is there any news of the princess?" Li Ke stopped the pen in his hand, and the news he wanted to hear most at this time was that the person had been found, and he had sent additional people to turn Tanzhou upside down, but this woman seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and there was no clue at all.
"There is no news of the princess yet, it is Prince Yunxuan who invited His Royal Highness to Xuanyi Building." The housekeeper was very distressed when he saw Li Ke's lonely expression, he had followed His Highness for so many years, and he had never seen him so haggard.
"Sue sΓΉ Yunxuan, this king has no time to care about his life or death now, he has a big business in this Tanzhou family, is he really idle and has nothing to do?" Li Ke rubbed his eyebrows and said.
"Yes, Your Highness." The housekeeper had no choice but to retreat.
β¦β¦
The weather outside is beautiful and clear, the blue sky is like washing, another rare good weather, melodious lying on the edge of the window looking at the sky, she has been away from the palace for many days, but she still can't figure out her complex feelings, leaving Li Ke Her heart is like being hollowed out, it is undeniable that she fell in love with this ancient.
"Ah, what to do?" Melodiously pulled her hair messy, she escaped every day and hid in this small inn, wanting to let go of love or not, and wanting to go back to modern times and not going back.
Melodious sigh, Li Ke must be in a hurry to find her these days, but she doesn't know how to deal with this sudden emotion, so she can only hide for a while, maybe until Li Ke gives her up or she leaves the ancient times.
"Knock knock......" There was a knock on the door outside the room.
Melodious hurriedly tidied himself up in the mirror and opened the door, saw that it was the shopkeeper who knocked on the door, and asked. "What's the matter?"
"Gongzi Qu, Gongzi Murong invites you to visit Tanzhou City together, and let the little one come to you to talk to you, saying that he is waiting for you in the Consultation Hall." Xiao Er replied attentively.
"Murong Gongzi? How did he know I lived here? Melodious is even more confused. I won't tell you anything, most of the street, including the inn where you live, is the property of the Murong family, son, you should go, it's not easy to reply if it's not small. The child begged.
"Okay, you go down first, I'll go later." The melodious had no choice but to nod, slandering that there was really no free lunch in the world, and he had to be on call when he took other people's money.
It's just that this Murong Gongzi doesn't know where it came from? This and again and again invitations, is it really to make friends?
Melodious looks in the mirror to dress himself up more old-fashioned, and now this image of a middle-aged lewd man is afraid that the handsome and golden son will not have any wrong thoughts.
