Chapter 0204: Ling Xiao
After coming to the dining room, Ning Kexuan and the others had been waiting for a long time, Ning Xiao's other sons were all out of town, and the youngest son was at the gate of the heavenly prison, which could be regarded as a son inheriting his father's business, and Ning Kexuan was desperately investigating the case in order to compete with these brothers.
After the guests and hosts are seated, the dishes are also served one after another, and the dishes are mainly light, not to mention that they are not very rich, but the taste is really good.
After three rounds of wine, the dishes have five flavors, and everyone also talked about the local customs of Liling City, and they also talked about Li Moyi's appointment as the chief scribe of the criminal case.
Ning Kexuan wanted to speak several times, but Ning Xiao just kept smiling, he was a little unhappy in his heart, and after a while, he put down his chopsticks and looked at Li Moyi with a suggestive gaze.
Li Moyi was also a little confused, and couldn't help but cast a puzzled look at Ning Xiao, who was also a little embarrassed, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Although my eldest son is the oldest, Bingzi is the least calm among his brothers......... On weekdays, I like to investigate and recover, I heard that you are a criminal case scrivener and want to follow you to investigate the case........."
Li Mo was also a little surprised when he heard it one by one, and said in his heart that Ning Xiao was also a big member of the top, shouldn't he be a rule-abiding and calm old man, how could he let his eldest son be like this?
The eldest young master of his dignified hometown now wants to give him, a small criminal scrivener, an entourage, and follow him to handle the case?
Although he muttered in his heart, Li Mo thought about it for a while, this Ning Xiao dared to let his son dig the grave and open the coffin in the middle of the night, it can be seen that he is also the master who does not take the usual path, if he does not have such courage and enlightenment, how can Ning Xiao become a great god of solving cases?
β¦β¦β¦
But Ning Kexuan is also an arrogant person, how can he easily and willingly follow Li Moyi? Most of them are afraid that they will not be convinced, and they want to win over Li Moyi when solving the case to prove their ability, and besides, if he stays by Li Moyi's side, Ning Xiao will be able to get a lot of news about Li Moyi in time, and there is no need to worry that Li Moyi will continue to track down Zhao Lele.
Li Mo didn't want to agree, he would rather be a young master, follow him, how can he investigate the case?
But after careful consideration, Li Moyi finally agreed, and only in this way could Ning Xiao and the Heavenly Prison Gate gang rest assured, otherwise their next days would not be comfortable.
As for Ning Kexuan's desire to win over him Li Moyi in solving the case, there is no need to worry about it.
Seeing that Li Mo agreed, Ning Kexuan's brows finally relaxed, and he toasted Li Moyi with a wine glass, and also released big words to promise not to hold Li Moyi back, and the atmosphere of the banquet became more and more harmonious.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Temporarily taking the place of Zheng Shushi, as soon as Li Mo returned to the governor's mansion, Wang Shi of the hall stammered with him very much, not to mention the other guards and officials in the mansion.
The turmoil of the big case in Liling City gradually subsided, and Li Moyi had nothing to do except wait for the pager news in the official residence, and there was no case to check, but he also lived a few days of leisure............
β¦β¦β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦
In the evening of this day, the old guard Wang Qi returned to the official house and said to everyone: "Brothers, today is my thirtieth anniversary, I set up a table and banquet in Lingxiao Tower, everyone give face, don't say no!" β
Everyone looked at him in surprise, and a small guard nearby screamed even more strangely: "Brother Wang, you didn't lose money today, I've never seen you so generous." β
Wang Qi scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, I want to borrow your light to transfer, can't I?" Anyway, I'll have a treat in Lingxiao Tower tonight, whoever doesn't go will not give me face, Wang Baitang, Li Da Shu, you happen to be there, then go together......... You're not going to make excuses not to go, are you? β
Wang Shitang has already started a family, and he really doesn't want to go, but he can't stop everyone from instigating, and finally nodded, Li Moyi is not very interested in the kind of wind and moon land where money is like flowing water, but it happens to be fine, and it is not easy to deny everyone's meaning, so he also promised: "Go and go, everyone will be a big brother Wang Qi, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity......... But I'm ahead of the curve, don't try to get me drunk. β
Wang Qi rolled his eyes away with a dry laugh, and a guard nearby said, "Uninteresting and boring, really a boring person.........
Wang Zheng's little guard on the side glanced at Li Mo and said, "What do you kid know, Brother Li's eyes are very high, so naturally he can't look down on those ordinary people in Lingxiao Tower........."
Wang Qi smiled and said: "Scholar Li, don't say your words so early, today's Lingxiao Tower is very different, the popular singing and dancing everyone in Liling City - Ruoshui girl is sitting in Lingxiao Tower at the moment, she is not only beautiful, but also famous for singing and dancing to move the world, if Brother Li really sees it, I don't know if it will be tempting?" β
A little guard who was usually naΓ―ve and unbearable actually came with his mouth open at this moment, Li Mo couldn't help but be curious, he replied with a smile: "Okay, I'll go and meet this Ruoshui girl." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Lingxiao Tower is a small restaurant for performing arts, but it is already the best one in the territory of Liling City.
After dusk, the flow of people near the south gate of Liling City increased significantly, Li Moyi led seven or eight little guards to change into regular clothes and came to the door of Lingxiao Tower with a big lantern, a plump half-old lady standing at the door came forward, she secretly threw a look at Wang Qi, and then her eyes fell on Li Moyi, and said happily: "Brother Wang, you are finally here, everyone is waiting for a hurry!" This is the great scribe of Li, right? It's really dignified, look at this look, the girls are not so red that they rush to swallow you alive........."
"Honggu, are you ready for the wine and food and manpower? Brother Li came here today because he gave me a lot of face, so don't be slow. Wang Qi said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, it's all arranged, everyone is waiting, Brother Li, please come .........with me," Honggu greeted with joy on her face, and led Li Moyi and them to a quiet place on the third floor.
β¦β¦β¦
Passing through the noisy foyer, everyone turned into a quiet house on the third floor of Lingxiao Tower under the leadership of Honggu, which is very spacious and large, and the layout here is completely different from the front, just like walking into a small garden, surrounded by pavilions and pavilions, people can't stop and look at each other.
Honggu said: "This is a place to entertain distinguished guests, and ordinary guests will not easily greet them here, even if they have money."
As far as the eye can see, in the center of the room is an octagonal table, wooden chairs have been placed around the table, Honggu beckoned everyone to sit down, a few little maids about twelve or thirteen years old began to serve tea and snacks, Honggu walked away for a while, and gradually served with wine and food.
β¦β¦β¦
Soon, the two little girls walked up, their posture was ordinary, moved two full stools to sit aside, one played and one sang, the pipa sound suddenly melodious, the singing voice turned the ears, no longer in this life may be a red and purple big group.
The wine and food were quickly served, and Wang Qi had invested enough money this time, and the table full of wine and food was all delicious.........
Li Mo held his chin one hand one by one, secretly thinking that today's dish was not much better than that of Jun Lailou, and he couldn't help but think of a few past events when Jun came to Lou.........
After a while, I sighed to myself.
β¦β¦β¦
Suddenly, a clanging piano sound overshadowed the two little girls' singing, and the two little girls suddenly stopped talking, and the eyes of Honggu, who was simply greeting on the side, lit up: "It's Ruoshui girl......... It's the girl who is playing the piano......... Presumably, the skills of these two little girls are not perfect, which makes Ruoshui girl feel impatient. β
Hearing that it was Ruoshui girl playing the piano, everyone's voice couldn't help but be lowered, Wang Qi whispered in Li Mo's ear: "Brother Li, Ruoshui girl only came to Lingxiao Tower a few days ago, and the threshold of Lingxiao Tower has been almost stepped on by the people who rushed to hear the sound these days, but Ruoshui girl's eyes are higher than the sky......... I heard that when I was in Suzhou before, the big salt merchant Yang Dafu had touched the nail, and the Mongolian scholars who had returned to their hometowns couldn't get into her eyes, and the scholars who were almost a little more talented wanted to see her from afar, and there were very few people who could enter this house these days. β
"Then how did we get in so easily?" Li Moyi asked lightly.
Wang Qi's eyes swelled with admiration: "Miss Ruoshui is really like a god, she expected that Brother Li would see through my little trick, the person who invited her today is actually not me, but Miss Ruoshui, she heard that Brother Li, as soon as you came to Liling City, you broke the unsolved case, so she wanted to see you........."
ββ¦β¦β¦ She had no choice but to entrust Honggu, and Honggu entrusted it to me, so she invited you, Brother Li, Brother Li, did you say that this Ruoshui girl has taken a fancy to you? β
Li Mo was slightly stunned, and his face didn't know what to do.
Although I don't know how to distinguish between high and low piano skills, if the water girl played just now, everyone in Ming'er can hear that the piano skills are indeed much more proficient than the little girl who played the pipa just now. High-pitched, low-pitched and consistent.
Just when the tune was turning, Li Moyi suddenly lifted his chopsticks and knocked on the empty cup in front of him, and sang with the tune: "Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon, I am born to be useful, and I will come back when my daughter is gone......... .........And again and
β¦β¦β¦
The singing was still in my ears, and the sound of the piano was over, Honggu took the lead in applauding and laughing: "Li Gongzi is really talented." β
Everyone also echoed one after another, Li Mo secretly sighed and felt ashamed, but he hummed a few words indiscriminately, and several places didn't match the tune at all, but there were people here who didn't care about these and didn't need to take care of them, they didn't need to know what was good or bad, and if the water girl was clearly just looking for an excuse to meet him, Honggu and the others would naturally not say anything.
Li Moyi was also a little curious, so he said: "Listen to the sound and know people, if the water girl is really an extraordinary person, Honggu, pass a word for me, just say that I, Li, please see each other, and hope that the water girl can appreciate her face." β
"I don't dare to ask Lao Gongzi, if the water comes uninvited."
There was a cold and pleasant sound from the corner of the screen, which was like a blow to the head, so that the spirits of the people present were lifted, and everyone looked up and looked over, only to see a girl who was alone and wearing a verdant long skirt, strolling over.
When Li Mo saw her appearance clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned, it was a delicate face, especially those smart eyes, which were rare and good-looking, which made people fascinated and couldn't help themselves.
"Girl Wakasui ......... You ........."
Honggu stepped forward, but Ruoshui didn't look at her, her eyes swept over Li Mo's face, then smiled at him, and walked towards him with small steps.
Looking at that smile, Li Mo couldn't help but feel a flutter, Wang Zheng's little guards and they were also shocked by Ruoshui's arrival, and their brains seemed to be blank, and they didn't react for a long time.
Ruoshui girl lifted the wine jug and poured a glass of wine for Li Moyi and herself, and then raised her glass and said: "Li Gongzi has solved a strange case, a great achievement, guarding the people, I will give Li Gongzi a cup for the thousands of people in Liling City!" β
As soon as Li Mo came back to his senses, his gaze returned from Ruoshui's hand to her face, raised his glass and said, "......... Li Mou just happened to make a little effort at the meeting, which is not enough......... But, girl, you .........."
Closer, "Forget it, don't mention it......... Just a cup, a .........."
Everyone saw that Li Mo raised his glass, stood up suddenly, raised his glass and drank together, and Wang Zheng's little guard shouted even more: "Cheers to the brothers who are in distress!" β
Ruoshui's eyes had a strange look, she glanced at Li Mo deeply, and when she raised her head, a glass of mellow Beiyang wine went down, and her fair face suddenly swelled up, which was even more moving.
"Ruoshui has heard the sisters say that Li Gongzi has made great contributions, but I don't know that Li Gongzi is proficient in music, the song just now is my newly composed tune, Li Gongzi only listened to it once and remembered it, and when he sang the song, he also came out with another cardinal, and made changes in the place where I felt that he was not very satisfied, like a stroke of genius, the whole piece was suddenly all over the top and bottom, in one go, and the talent of the son made Ruoshui ashamed of himself, if the water gave Gongzi a cup again, please give Gongzi more advice in the future."
If the water girl's eyes are very bright and her expression is sincere, Li Moyi is not very moved, she knows what she is, the higher she is careful, the worse she falls, how about a good-looking person? If you have nothing to do, there must be something wrong with this person, so it's better to keep your distance.
"If the water girl is polite, I just hummed casually just now, how dare I enter the eyes of experts? This cup should be regarded as my return to Miss Ruoshui, who is Miss Ruoshui, willing to condescend to see me as a kid, I am already grateful, Miss Ruoshui, cheers!! β
Li Mo raised his cup, closed his eyes, avoided the bright gaze, and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.
Ruoshui smiled slightly, and boldly drained the wine under everyone's attention, and her face turned even redder.
Ruoshui put the wine glass upside down on the table, and she smiled and said: "If Shui is not good at drinking, and can't accompany you to drink, you can play a little song and be a ............ to accompany the bar."
Ruoshui's voice is very crisp, as if there is a strange magic, it is difficult for people to refuse her proposal, in fact, except for Li Moyi, there is no one present who will object, and the big salt Shangyang Dafu threw ten thousand gold and did not let Ruoshui show this skill, today she is very interested, who will ruin the scenery to refuse her kindness?
"Okay, everyone."
After Li Mo had a cup or two, he couldn't eat it, but fortunately, he had already stuffed some vegetables and food to the bottom of his stomach just now, so he didn't get drunk on the spot, he didn't know that this Dongyang wine is also the legendary famous Lanling wine, a real thousand-year-old wine, it feels very mellow to drink, but its stamina is really great............
Ruoshui took a pair of purple and silver pipa handed by the maid with her, and when she sat down, the other maid had already put down a phoenix sitting, plucked the strings lightly, and when the sound sounded, Ruoshui began to sing.
Ruoshui piano is outstanding, after she appeared, the other girls in the banquet felt quite embarrassed, until she played the pipa, the atmosphere of the banquet improved, but everyone lost the idea of talking, everyone quietly ate and drank, no one wanted to disturb Ruoshui.
"Jin Dingyu. Drunk and heavy, the court is cloudy and noon, and the painting hall is quiet.
The temples are chaotic, and they are not rectified.
In the city of Liling, the old things are rested and rebuilt. All over the world, looking for questions, it is difficult to break the Honghong.
In vain, stand up to the shadow of the sycamore.
Whoever is with me, to the mirror ........."
As long as you have read a little bit of literary words, you can hear that this is an affectionate poem, Li Mo said secretly: "Isn't this person really taking a fancy to me?" β
After singing a song, under the lingering sound, Ruoshui girl stood up gently, leaned over and said: "You guys play slowly, if the water is a little tired, retire first." β
Wang Qi and the others spoke out one after another, but Li Moyi just smiled at Ruoshui, completely grasping the appearance, Ruoshui didn't look at him again, and floated away with the pipa in his arms.
Everyone felt sorry for Li Moyi, Li Moyi just smiled and said nothing, and ate some wine and food, and Li Moyi also said goodbye.
