Chapter 342: Down the Pavilion
Chapter 342 Lower Restaurant
"What do you think, the so-called beauty, the mouth is a scholarly family, the father is either a scholar or a prime minister, and giving birth to a young lady must be a treasure of love, this young lady must be well-read and knowledgeable, and she knows everything, and she is a peerless beauty......"
Ling'er said disdainfully, "It's just that as soon as I saw a handsome man, whether it was a relative or a friend, I remembered the major events of my life, and my parents forgot about it, and I forgot about the book ceremony...... said that all other people's daughters were so bad, and said that they were beautiful, and they didn't even have a shadow. β
"Forehead ......"
Lin Xiao was a little embarrassed, but it seemed to make sense.
Seeing that he was embarrassed, Ling'er sneered, and continued: "Moreover, since it is said that it is a family of eunuchs and scholars, even if they return home to the elderly, there are naturally a lot of people like this, and there are also many people who serve the young lady with wet nurses...... Why is it that in these scenes, whenever there is such a thing, it is only the young lady and a maid who follows closely? Think about it, what are those people in charge of, but they don't answer the preamble? β
Lin Xiao looked at Ling'er with a look of adoration.
This girl is really not simple, she has such an opinion at a young age, it can be seen that she is also from a scholarly family.
After being stunned for a while, he sneered and said, "By what you said, it seems to be like this......
Ling'er bit her mouth and smiled, and then didn't say anything more.
At this time, the smell of wine in a restaurant on the street was delivered.
The three of them walked around for a while, they were already hungry, and when they saw this restaurant standing along the river, the faΓ§ade was very elegant, Lin Xiao asked, "What kind of restaurant is that?" β
Ling'er looked back and smiled: "This is the Lotus Fragrance Pavilion, which can be said to be very famous in Guangzhou City, and the wine and food utensils are known as the first in the world." β
"Really?"
Lin Xiao was surprised, "So familiar, have you been here?" β
"I've been here, but ...... I've never been in, and I've heard from people,"
Ling'er looked at the restaurant, lowered her eyes and said, "I'm a flower child, how can I go into such a place......
Lin Xiao saw that there was some envy on her face, and a little loss, she couldn't help but feel a little pity, sighed secretly, and said in her heart, since the crossing, I haven't invited others to dinner, and today I will be generous once, so I have to let her raise her eyebrows once.
Guangzhou has been liberated, shouldn't the poor turn over and be the masters! Today, let's see the first in the world!
As for the money, it's a big deal that he won't pay this month's military salary, anyway, he has only five taels of silver a month, and Lu Hua doesn't look down on it.
So, he gritted his teeth and said with a smile: "Then, let's go down to the restaurant?" β
When Ling'er heard this, she immediately smiled and said happily: "Okay, okay, let's go to the restaurant." β
Lin Xiao was really happy to see her, and he was happy, and stretched out his hand to Situ Zheng and said, "Did you bring any money?" Borrowed for use. β
Unexpectedly, Situ Zheng on the side said curtly: "I, I have no money......
"Poof!"
Lin Xiao glared, what are you doing with you if you don't have money?
"It's really gone, and I haven't paid yet......"
Situ Zheng had an embarrassed face, and said, "Last time...... I haven't paid it yet. β
Lin Xiao suddenly remembered that what he said was right, so he had to scratch his head in embarrassment.
Indeed, the recruits were paid, but the veterans had not yet reached the point of payment, and the last time they had morning tea and killed someone, the silver that was compensated to the shopkeeper of the teahouse was forgotten to return to him.
Ling'er saw that they were staring at each other, and they both looked embarrassed, and sneered: "Let's go, brother, I'll have a treat...... I brought the money. β
"You're in for a treat?"
Lin Xiao smiled bitterly and shook his head, this kid seems to be really used to living a good life before, as long as he has money in hand, he spends it lavishly, and he doesn't know the importance at all.
On the day Xiao Biaorui joined the army, he received five taels of silver and handed it over to her, which was his first month's military salary, considering Ling'er's special status, Lin Xiao also counted her as a troop establishment, so she also received five taels.
Even so, she only has a total of ten taels of silver in her hand, and these days, she has been buying vegetables every day and trying to make food for him, and she may have already used up several taels.
"Looks like this restaurant isn't cheap,"
Lin Xiao said with a sad face, "I've used up all your money, what will I do in the future?" β
"When I run out, I'll eat yours,"
Ling'er smiled and said, "Didn't you say okay, Ling'er and Brother Ding?" β
"Uh......"
Lin Xiao's face turned red, and he said in his heart that he wouldn't cause another big trouble!
Forget it, it's better to have a long pain than a short pain, rather than being relied on by her, it's better for me to invite it this time!
So, Lin Xiao touched his nose and hurriedly looked left and right to talk to him: "Okay, I'll please, you can pay the silver in advance, and I'll pay you back when I go back." β
"Okay, okay, it's all your money anyway,"
Ling'er waved her hand and smiled, "Let's go, let's go." β
Came to the front of the lotus fragrance hall, only to see the door of the colorful painting in front of the building, the gardenia lantern hung high at the head of the building, the flowers and trees in it are luxuriant, the pavilion is chic, and it is really a magnificent restaurant.
When I entered the building, a guy had already come over to greet him with a smile, led through a corridor, and picked a second-floor Accord by the window.
As soon as the three of them sat down, Xiao Er bowed down and put cups and chopsticks on his body, Ling'er was not polite, and began to order, Lin Xiao saw that she ordered six or seven dishes, and said worriedly: "Order a few less, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish eating." β
Ling'er said with a smile: "The two brothers drank some wine and ate slowly." β
The guy bowed down and smiled when he saw the opportunity: "What kind of wine do you use?" The small shop has a good aged three liquors, is it okay to play two corners first? β
Ling'er said proudly: "Okay, I'll deal with it." β
Lin Xiao wanted to stop and say that he wouldn't drink, but seeing her arrogant posture, he couldn't bear to sweep her up, so the guy responded and went down to give orders on his own.
After a while, the bartender sent wine and food, and a few other things such as candied fruits, Lin Xiao looked at it, and sure enough, the food was delicious, and the three of them drank and enjoyed the scenery, and they were in a happy mood.
Lin Xiao raised his glass and looked out the window, the sky began to darken, many merchant ships in the river were still swimming busily, and the dock on the opposite bank was still crowded, very lively.
Lin Xiao was puzzled: "Is this Jiangnan already so prosperous?" The pier is so big. β
Ling'er covered her mouth and smiled: "This is Jiang Xinzhou, and the south bank is still far away." β
"Oh."
Lin Xiao suddenly wondered why the Pearl River looked so narrow.
At this time, the guys began to busy lighting the lamp.
Under the lamps and candles, Lin Xiao saw dozens of prostitutes with beautiful makeup sitting in a row on the veranda outside the pavilion, secretly wondering in his heart, and was about to ask, when he suddenly heard someone in the pavilion next door say: "It's okay!" This called people to sing and drink. β
The shopkeeper shouted, and one of the prostitutes stood up gracefully, holding a tooth board, and walked into the next cabinet.
After a while, the courtesan began to sing, and Ling'er listened quietly, but listened to her singing:
"Feiqiong's partner, even farewell to the Pearl Palace, has not returned to the immortals. Take a time to make up, ordinary words, there are a lot of beauty. It is proposed to compare the famous flowers. I'm afraid that others will laugh at me, which is not easy to say. Thinking carefully, it is strange and beautiful, but it is only dark red and light white. Strive to be so amorous, occupy the world, and be charming. The embroidery pavilion of the letter painting hall, the bright moon and the breeze, endure the time and abandon it. From ancient times to the present, there are few beautiful talents. And leaning on each other. I have not been dissipated, and I am versatile. I hope to take it, Lan Xinhui's nature, under the preface of the pillow, and express the deep meaning. For the oath, from now on will never live up to the mandarin quilt. β
Lin Xiao naturally couldn't understand what she was babbling and singing, but she felt that the tooth board was lightly tapped, the flute sound was melodious, and the singing voice was tactful, which was also very beautiful.
After the song was finished, someone next door praised loudly: "Well sung." β
Then the courtesan thanked him repeatedly, and came out with the musician beamingly, thinking that the guests had received a lot of rewards.
Thanks: "Favorite Beauty", "Red and Prosperous Trance", "An Zhiruosu" reward! Thanks thanks!
