Chapter 34: First Encounter with a Courtesan
Cuixian Pavilion is the most famous teahouse in Linxiang, of course, you can only drink tea, eat pastries or something, how to attract customers? In addition to these, there are singing, dancing, storytelling, as long as you want the way they have, it is guaranteed to be the first choice to relieve boredom!
And Master Wang is a frequent visitor to this Cuixian Pavilion.
——————
"Master Wang, you're here! When the second child in the store saw Master Wang coming, he immediately greeted him.
"Hmm!"
Xiao Er directly led Master Wang to the cubicle where he had always stayed, which was facing the stage for this teahouse, located on the second floor. While tasting tea and watching the play on the second floor, it is not as noisy as the first floor, but it can also watch the show perfectly, so only guests like Master Wang can contract.
"Please!" Xiao Er stretched out a hand to make an open gesture, pointing to a compartment, and that compartment was where Master Wang was going.
After Master Wang and the others sat down, Xiao Er continued: "Master Wang, may I ask whether you will continue to serve pastries and tea as usual or ......?"
"Linglong, do you want to eat so much? Just order, don't be polite to your uncle! Or if there is any taboo food, just tell Xiao Er. ”
"Uncle Wang, you are polite, Linglong is not picky, and there is nothing taboo, just like Uncle Wang!" Linglong nodded and smiled at Xiao Er.
"What about you, Xiaoyuan?" Master Wang also asked Xiaoyuan by the way.
"Xiaoyuan didn't either, just like Miss. ”
"Hmm!" Master Wang nodded and looked at Xiao Er.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please wait a moment!" Xiao Er said and withdrew.
"Xiao Linglong, how are you doing lately? Actually, Uncle Wang is quite worried about you, but it's just ......"
"Thank you, Uncle Wang, it's very good. ”
Silence, endless silence. After a brief Q&A, the two didn't know how to continue talking. Linglong looked at the crowd downstairs, and didn't want to look at the pity of Master Wang, how could she hold back herself and accept the pity of others? Besides, she didn't want to mention the past again, but it was just to increase her sadness.
There was a knock on the door, "Guest, what you ordered is ready!"
"Hmm, come in!" Mr. Wang responded.
Xiao Er set the tea and pastries and withdrew. Xiao Yuan on the side exhaled softly, and the terrible deadlock was finally broken with Xiao Er's entrance. The oppressive atmosphere really took her breathless, but fortunately.
"Xiao Linglong, try this, Jiang Xinlu. You've been out there for so long, try this, go and get cold!"
Jiang Xinlu is a giveaway from Xiao Erduan, not to say how cheap it is, but to say that this is a marketing tool. Xiao Er noticed Linglong and Xiaoyuan from the beginning, these two guests had never been here, and when they first entered spring, the most taboo thing was the cold entering the body. Only by understanding what the guests need and taking timely action can we retain the hearts of the guests and finally envelop them.
"Okay! Thank you, Uncle Wang!" Linglong picked up the spoon on the side, gently scooped a spoonful, and inhaled it into her mouth and tasted it slowly.
Master Wang smiled and pushed Jiang Xinlu on the other side to Xiao Yuan. After Xiaoyuan thanked her, she also tasted it.
Seeing Linglong eating Zhenghuan, Master Wang unconsciously stretched out a hand to her head and touched it, just like touching his own child. There was anger and pity in his eyes, but he was helpless. He was angry at Xiaoyi's decision, he pitied Linglong for suffering alone, and he had no choice but to let the young man's feelings develop.
At the moment when Master Wang's hand touched Linglong's head, Linglong was ready to subconsciously dodge, but she still resisted the rejection in her heart and did not make the next move. Linglong raised her head and looked at Master Wang and smiled, without a trace of emotion, just a polite smile.
Master Wang watched the delicate little bowl gradually bottom, "Do you still want it?"
"Nope. Linglong has eaten well, Uncle Wang, you can also taste it. ”
"Okay!" Mr. Wang picked up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.
"Linglong......" Master Wang wanted to speak and stopped.
"Huh?"
"It's nothing, haha! Uncle I just haven't seen you for a long time, and now that I do, I'm just a little emotional. Haha! Don't be weird!"
"How could Linglong laugh at Uncle?" Linglong saw that the pastry in Master Wang's hand was finished, so she made a cup of tea and served it to him.
Master Wang took the tea, nodded to Linglong to express his gratitude, then blew on the side of the teacup and drank it slowly.
The subordinates of the Wang family, who were standing at the door, suddenly walked in, leaned in front of the root of the old man's ear, moved his lips slightly, and whispered. Linglong saw that Master Wang's two eyebrows were about to be twisted into a flower, and it seemed that something important had happened.
Master Wang looked at Linglong with a solemn face and said, "Little Linglong." Uncle suddenly has an important thing to do, and he is out of company! When are you free? Uncle will ask you again. ”
"It's okay, Uncle Wang, if you have something important, go and get busy first! Linglong is a junior, and the offer is also Linglong's appointment with you, he is free in the future, Linglong will come to visit you!"
"Okay! Uncle Xiao Linglong has taken a step first, what do you want to eat or drink, just call Xiao Er over, Uncle will pay for everything, Xiao Linglong doesn't have to be polite!"
"Okay, then thank you, Uncle!"
After Mr. Wang finished speaking, he and his subordinates left in a hurry, leaving Linglong and Xiaoyuan in the Cuixian Pavilion.
"Miss, woo woo, I can finally speak loudly, it's so uncomfortable!" Xiao Yuan looked at Linglong and said aggrievedly.
"Look at your appearance, can't you be like me? Calm! God comes to kill God, Buddha blocks **, what are you afraid of!" Linglong grabbed a piece of pastry and stuffed it into Xiaoyuan's mouth, looking at her with disdain.
"By the way, what did you just call me? Did you forget the agreement between us?"
"Forehead......" Xiao Yuan glanced around vigilantly, took out the pastry stuffed into her mouth, and whispered, "Xiao Ling, if I had called you that just now, wouldn't I have died!"
"That'...... Just forgive you!Miss Xiaoyuan!" Linglong looked at Xiaoyuan with a smile in her eyes, and deliberately bit the four words 'Miss Xiaoyuan' very hard.
"Thank you...... Xiaoling, you can also taste it! This tastes very good!" Xiaoyuan was just about to say 'thank you', but was stopped by Linglong's eyes, so she had to change the topic.
"I'm full, it's all yours, hehe!"
Xiao Yuan looked at the three plates of pastries, looking at Linglong with a black line on her face, did she want to raise herself as a pig?
Linglong pretended not to see Xiaoyuan's resentful eyes, and silently tilted her head to the side, pretending that she was watching the courtesan performance in the center of the stage. Picked up the tea on the side and drank it without hurrying. Can't see me, can't see me, I'm passing by, passing by!
On stage...
The courtesan's delicate fingers are quickly plucked on the pipa, and the song rises and falls with the sound of the piano, which makes people fascinated and induces infinite reverie. The courtesan's face was covered by a veil, revealing only a pair of eyes, but from the eyes alone, it was clear that this woman must be captivating and charming.
Just as the singing and piano reached the **, the strings of the courtesan suddenly broke......
