Chapter 182: Happy Events (8)
"Arima" inn. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The name of info is a bit funny, but in the inn industry of Yuecheng, the popularity is one of the best. The inn is not big, the upper and lower floors add up to more than ten rooms, which is characterized by elegant layout, thoughtful service and... Expensive price.
This is not ordinarily expensive, even if it is an ordinary room on the first floor, the daily accommodation fee will not be less than one hundred taels of silver, and as for the private room on the second floor, less than three hundred taels is not qualified to enter at all. Staying in this inn has become more than a simple stay, more of a status symbol.
At this moment, in the most luxurious room on the second floor, the Li brothers and sisters sat around the table, sipping fragrant tea and chatting with each other. Li Yan was not very interested, although she had made enough preparations to dedicate herself for the sake of the family, but when she really arrived in Yuecheng, after inquiring about Lu Liang's character, she regretted it a little, and this matter is unreliable.
Frivolous? This is my father's most evaluation of his eldest brother Li Wencheng, but compared with this young master Lu, this word obviously has to be redefined, and he has "floated" to a new height. Don't talk about it, let's just talk about women. It is rumored that in recent years, he has climbed into the beds of at least hundreds of women, what is this not a breeding pig? Although he is not a perfect body, it is also caused by an accident, not a self-willed depravity, water-based poplar flower, compared with Lu Liang, Li Yan only feels that she is simply a pure and flawless white lotus.
She retreated in her heart, she really wanted to explain her heart to Li Mu clearly, but when she thought of Li Shan's illness, she couldn't speak, especially whenever Li Shan taught Li Wencheng a lesson, she would always inadvertently show envy, envy that there was a capable Miss Lu family in Shuibei, who was also a daughter, and it didn't matter if she couldn't support the Li family, if she couldn't help at all, it was really unreasonable, and her self-esteem didn't allow her to retreat.
Under the torment of this complex mood, Li Yan's spirit quickly withered, and the arrogance and arrogance on weekdays had long disappeared, but revealed a bit of morbid weakness, as if she had lost interest in everything, and was bored in a daze.
"Little sister? Younger sister! ”
Li Mu's hurried call made Li Yan gradually come back to her senses. "What's wrong?"
Looking at her like this, Li Mu knew that what he had just said was in vain, he pinched his eyebrows, and repeated: "Steward Wang has sent a message back." Dad was right, Miss Lu should have agreed with the marriage, but... That eldest young master seems to have some opinions, and it is still deadlocked, do you think we should find a time to go to the Lu Mansion in person? ”
"Opinions? What is his opinion? Li Yan, who had just come back to her senses, couldn't understand it for a while.
"Roughly... I don't want to marry you. ”
"Ahh Li Yan blinked indifferently, and after a while, her voice suddenly turned higher. "Huh? He has an opinion and doesn't want to marry me? I don't want to marry him yet! Second brother, tell me, it's just such a waste snack, how can he have the face to pick? ”
“。。。” Seeing that the girl's nature raised her head again, and she was about to make a big move, Li Mu hurriedly said: "Little sister, you don't have to be too angry, didn't my father expect this?" That Lu Hao is the grandson of the head of the Lu family, and his identity is there, what woman has he not seen? A lifelong event, if you haven't even seen what the object looks like, it's reasonable to have concerns. Do you think we're going to visit in person? ”
"If you want to go, I won't go."
"Don't, what's the use of me going to do it myself, you're the master."
"Let's wait." Li Yan said with a calm face: "Look at the attitude of the Lu family, I am already ashamed enough to ask for a marriage from the king, and now I still let people pick and choose, it is better to say if I don't come to the door, if I come to the door in person and finally let people refuse, where will our Li family's face go?" Anyway, if Miss Lu doesn't make a decision for a day, I won't go to Lu Mansion for a day. ”
"But it's not a problem for us to wait here all the time."
"Let's go out and take a walk." Li Yan smiled and said: "The first time I come to Yuecheng, I have to take a good tour and see how different this is from our Linhaitun." ”
"Well, let's go out for a walk."
----------------------------
"Get out, don't follow Young Master Ben, I'll be annoyed when I see you."
It just doesn't make sense! Just because she was dissatisfied with this marriage, her mother directly planned to grounded him, forced herself to agree, and sent two small servants to follow closely step by step, and did not let him go out. He really didn't dare to do anything to Cai Rou, how could Lu Liang have any scruples about these two subordinates, and under the hatred and scolding, he didn't succeed in walking out of the gate of the Lu Mansion?
But when it came out, it came out, and the mood of the whole day was also ruined. Holding back a fire of ignorance in his heart, Lu Liang calmed his face, walked down the steps outside the house step by step, and walked to the opposite street.
On the other side of the street, there were already three richly dressed young men who were guarding, and when they saw Lu Liang coming, they stopped talking and turned to greet him. The leading young man is named Zhou Lin, who has an excellent relationship with Lu Liang, and is considered a confidant of wine and meat. Seeing the other party's stinky face when he bumped into each other, Zhou Lin couldn't help but be curious: "What's wrong?" Brother Liang, who messed with you? Let's talk about it, let's take him away! ”
"Shut up!" Lu Liang said viciously: "My mother provoked me, you clean up one and I'll take a look." ”
The horse's fart slapped the horse's leg, and Zhou Lin smiled and stopped talking.
"Tell me, where are you going today?" Lu Liang asked angrily.
"Outing?"
"Too lazy to run."
"Do you want to drink?"
"You're stupid! What kind of wine to drink early in the morning? ”
Zhou Lin turned around and looked at the two behind him, and said with a wry smile: "It's better for you to decide." ”
Lu Liang glanced at the gate of the Lu Mansion and pondered, "Go to the kiln." ”
"Huh?" Early in the morning, which door is the green building? After working for half a night last night, the little brother will sleep soundly, thinking that he is weak, Zhou Lin suggested: "Why don't we gamble for money?" ”
"Gambling money? I'm holding back the fire! Wouldn't losing the gamble add fuel to the fire? Not! I went to the kiln, and I didn't vent my fire, and I wasn't happy all day. ”
"That's no way, you can only hold it today."
"What? Don't want to go? Come on, if you don't go, I'll go by myself. ”
"You can't go, all the green buildings in Joy City are closed today."
Are all the green buildings closed? Lu Liang was stunned and said, "Are you looking for me to be happy?" ”
"How dare I! You don't know yet? Zhou Lin looked at him strangely. Yesterday, hundreds of soldiers from the naval battalion entered the city, played for most of the day, and almost all the green buildings were chartered at night. Hundreds of fierce men! After a whole night, I cleaned up those prodigal hooves, and at this point, I am afraid that none of them will be able to get out of bed, what will I do? ”
“。。。” Lu Liang stopped talking, thinking that he could have such a big deal, except for his brother-in-law, the entire Yuecheng could not find a second one. Unexpectedly, the soldiers now have such benefits, and their own sisters actually turn a blind eye and let it go, which is really strange enough.
Qinglou can't go, Lu Liang thought about it, and then said, "Forget it, let's drink tea." ”
"Which one?"
"Xianyun Tower."
Xianyun Building is a distinctive teahouse. Qinglou can drink flower wine, but the selling point is the girl who accompanies the wine, and the teahouse sells tea, but the real attraction is the storyteller who spits lotus flowers. said that he was drinking tea, but in fact he was going to listen to books.
Xianyunlou is different from its peers, this is a chain teahouse, in Yuecheng, Linhaitun, Yancheng have industries, the storyteller in the teahouse is not recruited from outside, but specially cultivated internally, they do not tell classic stories, do not talk about legends and anecdotes, and do not comment on biographies. The people who are talking are all true stories that happened in the territory of Yizhou.
Stories are collected from all over the world, slightly rendered, and displayed in front of guests with a slight exaggeration. Based on real events, coupled with irony and ridicule, it is obvious that the appetite of the people is very low, and the price is also quite low, so there is an endless stream of customers who come to drink tea, and from the opening, the whole tea house is overcrowded, and it is very lively.
The owner of this teahouse is by no means a fool, and of course he understands the truth that comes from his mouth. Xianyunlou chats about the world, but they don't say a word about the local personnel, they talk about Shuibei in Shuidong, talk about Shuixi in Shuibei, and talk about Shuidong in Shuixi. The disagreement between the three major families is the biggest capital they use to make money.
After Lu Liang brought people here, the situation was exactly the same as imagined.
The teahouse is full. (To be continued.) )
