Cuixiang Building was built on the basis of the original Wangjiang Tower, which was more magnificent and luxurious than the original Wangjiang Tower, and soon became a unique scenery in Shouchun City, and the roof of Cuixiang Building can be seen across several streets.

Liu Jian has a great sense of accomplishment, standing in front of Cuixiang Building, Liu Jian can imagine what it will be like when it opens. It's a pity that recently, the people of Shouchun have become panicked because of the comet, and many craftsmen have submitted their resignations to Liu Jian, saying that they are going to visit a relative, but in fact they are preparing to go out of the city to avoid trouble. According to Liu Jian's meaning, a whip can make these guys honest, but Su Ren agreed to those people's request.

The building was built at Su Ren's expense, and he Liu Jian was a supervisor, since it was Su Ren's decision, Liu Jian couldn't say anything: "After walking so many craftsmen, I'm afraid the completion date will have to be delayed again." ”

Su Ren said: "What does it matter if it is delayed for a few days, besides, now the people of Shouchun City are panicking, even if it is built, it can't be opened, wait!" ”

Liu Jian nodded: "That's it, by the way, a group of people came yesterday and said that they came from Lu'an, what kind of shopkeeper Jia sent them, there are men and women, there is a big group." ”

"Coming so soon? What about people? ”

"I arranged to go to the inn."

"Good!" Su Ren looked excited: "They are all people from Lu'an Cuixiang Building, and they came to help us run Shouchun Cuixiang Building, and their business will definitely get better!" ”

When he saw the Cuixiang Mansion guy from Lu'an, Su Ren's face was a little unnatural. It was not easy to say too much in front of Liu Jian, and after saying some comfort and encouragement, he found an interface to break Liu Jian away.

"How are you? What about the people I transferred from Lu'an? ”

Beigong Jin smiled: "It's us, Shopkeeper Jia has agreed to let us help run Shouchun's Cuixiang Building." ”

Su Ren frowned. Beigong Jin introduced the people behind him to Su Ren one by one: "This is the old dog of the big shopkeeper, this is Liu Kui, the bookkeeper, and these guys who run the hall, and the cook in the back kitchen, what about me?" Let's count it as the head of the kitchen. ”

Su Ren slapped his head very hard, with a bitter expression.

Beigong Jin smiled: "There is nothing difficult about running a wine shop, we have also run a lot of wine shops in Qingyun Mountain for so many years, otherwise we would not have lived until now, Shopkeeper Jia also told us, what Cuixianglou should do and what should not be done, we know very well." ”

Su Ren was completely speechless, and he didn't know what ecstasy soup Beigong Jin poured into Lao Jia, that old thing actually said everything, even if Su Ren wanted to stop it, he couldn't do it. Take a deep breath: "Forget it, since you're here, don't make trouble, don't make trouble!" ”

Liu Kui nodded slightly: "Mr. Su, don't worry, we know how to do it." ”

"That's good." Su Ren was a little helpless, he sent Beigong Jin and others to Lu'an to let them learn a craft, and when they rescued those family members in the future, they could find a job to eat, but they never expected to spare such a big circle, and these people came to Shouchun blatantly. Although it is said that the most dangerous place is the safest, it is also too dangerous, and if Liu An knows the consequences, you can imagine the consequences.

"I have inquired about the whereabouts of your family, and the specific location is still being traced, but don't interfere in this matter, since Lao Jia can let you come, I just hope you can help me, and no one is allowed to act alone without my order." These people have all been mountain bandits, whether they are forced or voluntary, after so many years, the wildness in their bones has been stimulated, so Su Ren repeatedly emphasized that there should be no mistakes.

Leave Liu Kui and Beigong Jin behind, and send the others to rest. Knowing that the whereabouts of the family members have been found, everyone is happy and nervous, happy that they will be able to reunite with their families immediately, and nervous about whether they can successfully rescue people. Beigong Jin is the boss of the cottage, Liu Kui is the thinker of the cottage, Su Ren must explain to these two people how important it is to restrain their subordinates.

"Don't do anything stupid, this is not Qingyun Mountain."

"Mr. Su doesn't have to be so careful, we thought about it when we came, and we will definitely act according to Mr. Su's orders, even if we die, we won't say a word more."

"It's not enough to die, it's good for everyone to do our part." After taking a sip of water, he looked into the courtyard, there were many people here, some knew and some didn't know, Liu Jian took the inn away, since it was Su Ren's person, Liu Jian attached great importance to it.

"How many people are here this time?"

"Fifty-three people, forty of them from Qingyun Mountain, all of them are absolute henchmen, Mr. can rest assured."

"Forty people, fortunately, there are not many, but it is better to show up less to avoid accidents."

Beigong Jin nodded: "They are all fresh faces, and the people who come have never shown their faces in Shouchun, and no one knows them." ”

"It's hard to say, your Qingyun Mountain's name is not small, at least those businessmen who come and go between Hengshan and Huainan have not been poisoned by you, it is impossible to say that you don't know anyone, in case it is very troublesome to recognize it, it is better to be careful."

Liu Kui said: "We have also considered this point, the people in the outer hall are all Mr. people, we are only in the backyard, the old dog was the wine shop back then, and the appearance under it is no longer what it used to be, unless Liu An comes in person, no one knows." ”

"You can do it yourself, I don't talk much, then stay in the inn and wait for the day when Cuixiang Building opens!"

The Cuixiang Building is finally completed, the whole building is three stories high, and there is a basement. The lobby on the first floor is a place for individual guests to eat and drink. Square tables and benches dazzle all diners. A small two-foot-high platform was set up in front of the gate, and everyone was usually invited to sing and dance, so that the people of Xiariba who did not have the opportunity to enjoy elegant dancing could also see what music and dance were.

Follow the wooden staircase to the left and right of the stage to go up to the second floor. The design of the second floor is also very exquisite, a circle of partitions, only enclosing three sides, leaving an opening for the lobby side, sitting upstairs can not only see the street situation from the window, but also can clearly enjoy the singing and dancing on the stage when you turn around, which has a special interest.

The third floor is the most luxurious, and all the rooms built here are small private rooms, ranging in size from three or five people to dozens of people. This is a wealthy area, as long as you are willing to pay for it, Cuixiang Lou can serve you absolutely first-class food and unique performances.

Of course, Cuixiang Lou is different from those green mansions, the singers here are really showers and don't sell themselves, and they won't accompany the guests to drink alone. Whoever you are, no matter who you are, will immediately be thrown into the street by someone who will carry you and explain your glorious deeds to the onlookers, and name them.

Beigong Jin was very busy, seeing that the opening day of Cuixiang Building was approaching, as the head of the kitchen, he wore a big apron and pulled up his hair high, standing in the backyard and spinning those men and women like spinning tops. Su Ren sat under the porch and drank with Liu Kui, and when he saw Liu Kui staring at Beigong Jin intently, Su Ren's bad taste suddenly appeared: "Young Master Liu, I think you and Mrs. Beigong are quite suitable." ”

Liu Kui nodded subconsciously, immediately understood, waved his hand, pointed at himself, and said, "Just like me?" Besides, I'm over half a hundred years old, and the owner of the village is only ......."

"Just tell me if you want to or don't want to? Age, looks, money, power are all! ”

Liu Kui shook his head: "The remnants of the catastrophe, it is already a gift from God to be alive, and they dare not hope for anything else." ”

"God let you live, that is, let you live for your Liu family, why do you live instead of others? You are alone, and Mrs. Beigong is also alone, the two of you can be said to have supported each other for so many years, don't you have any ideas? Don't lie to me, tell the truth! ”

"Huh!" Liu Kui smiled and didn't speak.

Beigong Jin reprimanded those men and women, just walked over, picked up the wine bowl in front of Liu Kui without saying a word, and drank it dry as soon as he raised his neck. Su Ren smiled and poured wine into the bowl again: "Mrs. Beigong really worked in a wine shop, listen to what you just said, count it as if you said the wrong thing last time." ”

"That is, I think my father opened a wine shop back then, but no one knows."

"I see." Su Ren suddenly sighed: "It's a pity that things are not people, and creation makes people!" ”

One sentence cooled down the atmosphere, Liu Kui and Beigong Jin remembered the past at the same time, and the tragic image of the broken family appeared in their minds. Beigong Jin felt depressed and picked up the wine bowl again.

"Mrs. Beigong never thought about remarrying? How about I introduce you to one? ”

"Poof......!" Beigong Jin squirted out a mouthful of wine and sprayed Liu Kui all over.

In that era when the birth rate and survival rate of children were low, if a sturdy woman was widowed at a young age and did not remarry, she would be forced to remarry by the government. It was only after the advent of Confucianism's Three Principles and Five Constants that the so-called scholars regarded chaste martyrs as a moral code that women had to follow. And before that, a woman's remarriage was not a big deal.

Not to mention, the mother of the current emperor Liu Che, the Queen Mother, was married before marrying Emperor Jing and gave birth to a daughter. Further back, Liu Bang's favorite concubine Bo Ji's experience was even more bizarre, not only did she marry someone but left a son for Liu Bang, and later became the queen mother.

"Hahaha......" Beigong Jin laughed: "Who does Mr. want to introduce?" ”

Su Ren said: "Speaking of this person, you still know, he was also a son back then, and then he fell into trouble by chance, and was saved by someone when he was in danger, and he only wanted to restore the country, instigating the main family to rebel, and he fell into the grass before he got old, and his ambition became smaller, and he only wanted to live a normal life; But ......" Su Ren changed his words: "I have just known this person for a short time, I don't know very well, as for whether it is what he said, I don't know if it is next, and I don't know what his character is, the biggest problem is that this person is much older than his wife, and he is miserable, and it is hard to say how long he can live!" ”

Su Ren kept staring at Beigong Jin. If Beigong Jin didn't understand it at the beginning, he would be a fool if he didn't understand it after saying so much. Beigong Jin turned her head to look at Liu Kui, and Liu Kui smiled at her.

"What do you think, ma'am?" Su Ren said with a smile.
