044 The third son of the Prime Minister's Mansion
"Ah Fang, Ah Fang, are you at home?" After breakfast, Yu Qiqi rushed to find Lan Zifang.
But when I knocked on the door for a long time, no one answered, so there should be no one at home. I was already very tired from the wedding banquet yesterday, and I don't know where the girl went early in the morning.
At that time, a child's voice came from behind, "Sister Qiqi ......"
Yu Qi turned around when he heard this, and saw an old woman leading Lan Zibao over.
She ran over with a smile, squatted down and touched Lan Zibao's head, and asked, "Bao, where is your sister?" ”
Lan Zibao looked up at her mother-in-law, only to hear the old woman help answer: "The girl wants to find Ah Fang?" Hey, it's a pity that Ah Fang went to help Zuixianlou as a buddy early this morning, and it is estimated that he will not be able to come back in the evening. ”
Zuixian Lou is a famous restaurant in the capital, and there are often rich and noble families who charter guests there, so they will recruit temporary workers.
But almost all the guys who work in the restaurant are men, after all, they are all tiring work, and few women can afford it.
"Sister Qiqi, do you have anything to do with my sister?" Lan Zibao asked with a wink.
There is indeed something, but Yu Qiqi wanted to wait for Lan Zifang to say it in person, she smiled at Lan Zibao, then stood up and asked her mother-in-law politely: "Old woman, does Ah Fang often go out to find things to do?" That Abao...... Do you usually take care of it? ”
The old woman looked like she was in her fifties or sixties, but her face was very kind, and she nodded: "Ah Fang and Ah Bao are both good children, but it's a pity that they are separated from their parents, it's really fate, hey." ”
Although Lan Zifang has reached the end of the house, she is a girl who has not left the cabinet, and she has no support and has to take care of her younger sister, which can be described as a lot of pressure.
Sometimes while her sister was asleep, Lan Zifang hid under the quilt alone to wipe her tears, and she didn't miss her father and mother all the time.
The old woman is a neighbor nearby, and there is a wife with inconvenient legs and feet at home, she has no son when she is young, and her two daughters have no intention of caring about their two elders after they get married.
also inadvertently learned about the Lan sisters' life experience, the old woman was distressed, and took the initiative to promise to help take care of Ah Bao when Lan Zifang went out to find something to do.
"Mother-in-law, huh...... Then let me ask, where is the Drunken Immortal Tower? ”
——*——
Drunken Immortal Building.
At this moment, other restaurants are still preparing, but there is already smoke curling here, and there are bursts of noise in the restaurant.
To say that this place is really remote enough from Lan Zifang's residence, Yu Qiqi walked stupidly for an hour without knowing it before finding the Drunken Immortal Tower.
Outcome......
"I'm sorry girl, the restaurant was chartered by a noble person today, and I asked the girl to come back another day."
Other restaurants are for Xiao Er to solicit customers to eat at the entrance of Xiao Er Station, but here they let Xiao Er Station stop customers from entering.
Of course, Yu Qiqi didn't come to eat in this luxurious place, she just wanted to take Lan Zifang away, "Little brother, I'm here to find someone, do you want to be accommodating?" Or help me get that guy out! ”
The shopkeeper was a little cold, and he didn't want to shake his head directly to refuse: "I'm sorry girl, there are all nobles in this building, and the small ones can't afford it." ”
"Oh, I'm not here to find a nobleman! I'm just looking for a little girl! She came to you this morning, tell me how tired you are working here, how can a little girl stand it! Yu Qiqi didn't seem to make sense, and his language began to be confused.
It's a pity that the shopkeeper simply ignored her this time, and Ban Ban was standing there with indifferent eyes.
Yu Qiqi really wanted to roll his eyes in his heart, and there were really a lot of people with low eyes!
She was too lazy to eat the closed-door soup, ignored and pulled down, and it was a big deal to find a way to get in by herself!
Inside the building.
"Press!"
In the elegant hall, seven or eight men gathered to gamble, the most conspicuous was the man in green sitting on the main seat, only on both sides of him there were beauties serving, one beauty knocked on the back, and the other beauty fed.
The man in green looked happy, leaned comfortably on the chair and crossed Erlang's legs, and threw it at the hands of a stack of silver taels, muttering and counting in his mouth, not worrying about the poor money at all.
As soon as the color box opened, the other men were full of anticipation, and they collapsed in an instant.
"Yuan Gongzi, you're too lucky today, aren't you? Put the handle all you win! We're all about to be ruined by you! One of the men couldn't help but speak, sounding like a joke, but the taste was a little unconvincing.
The other men who lost money looked at each other, all in the same mood, but they seemed to have the same reason for not daring to show their emotions.
"Pull it, your old father will make more money than the other, what is this money? Gotcha! Keep it on! ”
This man in green, known as 'Yuan Gongzi', is Lu Yuan, the third son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, yes, Lu Xun's half-brother.
Lu Yuan's biological mother has a humble identity, when she was young, she took advantage of the prime minister's drunkenness to gain fame by climbing into bed, and then her stomach was angry, and she was the second son under the prime minister.
Even so, the concubine is a concubine after all, and the name was not correct at that time, and the other concubines in the house who had heads and faces looked down on her at all, and no one wanted Lu Yuan's biological mother to be a sister, and Lu Yuan and the other sons and ladies in the house could not get along like brothers and sisters.
Therefore, when he grew up, Lu Yuan did not bend to the injustice of his birth, and made fox friends and dog friends everywhere, which was diametrically opposed to Lu Xun's reputation in the capital, and he was a veritable gangster.
And the prime minister only plans to cultivate his concubine, and as long as he doesn't make a big move, he won't take care of it personally, how he loves it.
Today's drunken immortal building is the big nobleman is this distant son, there are indeed a lot of fox friends and dog friends, and he has a little brain, and he specializes in making the kind of gangsters who are the same as himself, and the family has power or money but is not favored by his father.
In this way, he can use it however he wants.
"Yuan Gongzi, I can't afford to lose, you won this morning, and you lost all the money we brought, right?" The man who spoke threw down the empty money bag, frowning helplessly.
Strange to say, Lu Yuan likes to gamble, and occasionally specially asks these sons with a lot of money to gamble in a private room, but every time he wins more, others lose more, so that sometimes those sons are afraid of Lu Yuan.
"Play again! What nonsense! This son is a charter of the entire Drunken Immortal Building today! Do you know how much it will cost? The little money you lose is not enough for a meal! Lu Yuan's face showed boredom and contempt.
The little beauty beside her followed closely to comfort her: "Childe~Don't be angry~come~Yueyue feeds you grapes~"
Those men are all paper tigers with a lot of money and stupidity, even if they are reluctant in their hearts, they are afraid that Lu Yuan will be angry, so in desperation, they can only listen to Lu Yuan's words and continue to play with him.
Outside the building.
I can't get in at the main entrance, so Yu Qiqi can't slip from the back.
Witty, she quietly ran to the back pool of the drunken fairy building, to say that the restaurant is big, and there are countless people who do things. At this moment, the back sink is full of guys washing vegetables and dishes, and at a glance, there are more than a dozen of them.
I don't know where Ah Fang is helping, Yu Qiqi's ghostly eyes rolled, and he suddenly rolled up his sleeves and walked over calmly.
"Brother, where is there anything to wash, give me some!" Anyway, they all work in the back, and it is estimated that no one will come to take care of it, so she will barely make up for it, and wait until she finds Ah Fang before slipping away!
The little brother lowered his head to wash the vegetables, and without looking at it, he pointed to the ground casually, and Yu Qiqi looked at it......
I'm dripping for a day...... There's so much more to wash!
Yu Qiqi twitched the corners of his mouth, feeling that this wash, let alone looking for someone, was afraid that he would not even be able to go back.
No, no, no! She can't afford to waste her time like this!
"Uh...... Okay! I'll go to the hut first, and I'll come later! Yu Qiqi asked, "Brother, dare to ask where the thatched house is?" ”
The little brother didn't know whether it was a long-term worker or a temporary worker, but he didn't suspect Yu Qiqi for half a minute, he still didn't raise his head, pointed in a direction casually, and replied coldly: "Turn left inside." ”
"Okay! I'll come when I go! Yu Qiqi was overjoyed, if she knew that it would be so easy to come in the back, she shouldn't have talked nonsense with that indifferent little second in front!
Shaoqing, while everyone was busy, her small body quickly ran in through the back door.
However, the Drunken Immortal Building is slightly larger, and the area of the officer is also divided into several more. For example, now, she ran to the pastry section in a daze, and countless guys were still busy.
But at this moment, a familiar figure suddenly passed by him, Yu Qiqi was stunned, and immediately turned around.
"Ah Fang!"
Lan Zifang turned her head when she heard the sound, and when she saw that it was Yu Qiqi, she looked surprised, "Sister Qiqi...... Why are you ...... here?"
Yu Qiqi was happy, she really didn't expect to find Lan Zifang so quickly, she stepped forward and directly held Lan Zifang's wrist, "Ah Fang, don't tire yourself here, follow me!" ”
Lan Zifang was in a fog, now is the busiest time in the back kitchen, how can she get out at will, "Sister Qiqi...... What's the matter? I...... I can't walk ...... right now."
Yu Qiqi knew that she was a little abrupt like this, but she didn't want to see Lan Zifang squeeze her body at a young age.
She looked around, everyone was busy and didn't have time to pay attention here, so she took the pastries from Lan Zifang's hands and put them on the table at will, pulling her away.
Well...... Pull it to the latrine, it's safer to talk here.
"Sister Qiqi, what the hell is going on? How do you ...... I don't quite understand...... "The wedding banquet has passed, and it stands to reason that Lan Zifang never thought of meeting Yu Qiqi again."
Although she likes this sister very much and envies her, it is a pity that she is forced by reality to continue to live her life.
"Ah Fang, you don't have to do something tiring and tiring in the future, come with me, I'll tell you a piece of news, it's definitely better than your current situation!" Yu Qiqi was sure that there was no one, so he said.
"What's the news?"
"I can't tell you here for a while, so don't ask more, come with me first!"
"But ......" But the shopkeeper was named, and Lan Zifang did this for the first time, worried that it would not be good to leave halfway.
"If you're afraid of being punished by your boss, wait a minute, pretend to be unconscious, and then leave with me!"
