Chapter 42: Speaking of Qinglou
Yan Ran didn't comment much, after all, this was a private matter of the Liu Ming brothers, and he was just an outsider.
And Zhao Shi thought that this is how Liu Chu grew up in favor and was born with a golden key.
is the eldest son of Liufu, and everything in Liufu will be his.
But the rumors about him outside, Zhao Shi also heard a little.
Liu Chu is not lawless outside the mansion, but it is by no means a good thing.
Although he did not rob the people's daughters, his words and deeds on weekdays were frivolous, and he was a frequent visitor in the Donghe Flower Boat, and the whole person was a prodigal.
Liu Ming: Why do I feel like this is the life I want, there are evil slaves and beautiful maids, you can go to the Qinglou to listen to a little song if you have nothing to do, or go to the flower boat to talk to the young lady.
Liu Ming suddenly said: "A year later, I will also be like my eldest brother, go to the Qinglou, linger among the flowers and willows, and be an unscrupulous disciple." ”
Yan Ran looked puzzled, not understanding why Liu Bai said this.
Could it be that Liu Ming has something unspeakable.
And Zhao Shi opened his mouth to persuade, his tone was anxious, for fear that Liu Ming would become addicted to it, and then he would not be able to extricate himself and live up to the trust of the young lady before his death.
"Young master, you must not go, if you go to that kind of place once, there will be a next time, and if you repeat it like this, young master, the smart reputation you have accumulated will be completely ruined."
But Liu Ming said to Zhao Shi with a wicked smile: "Uncle Zhao, have you ever visited the Qinglou?" Otherwise, how do you know that kind of place, if you go once, there will be a next time. ”
"Young master, this is well, the insiders are in charge of it, and there is no money left to plant indiscriminate places, they all listen to the guests in the restaurant."
"Tut-tut, it turns out that Uncle Zhao is a person who is afraid of his wife, what a good man!"
In the face of Liu Ming's deliberate ridicule, Zhao Shi also blushed and defended: "I'm just too lazy to fight with my mother-in-law about anything, so everything is decided by her." ”
And Liu Ming and Yan Ran both showed an unfathomable smile, and the meaning was self-evident.
"Uncle Yan, you have been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, have you ever been to the Qinglou?"
"I've been to the Qinglou many times, but I didn't go there since."
"Does that cost a lot?"
"I don't have a concept, I'll go find a gang of robbers when I run out of money, rob them and have money again, occasionally someone will spend a lot of money to ask me to escort him, money is not a problem, but the green building does spend money quickly."
"Is that girl good-looking?"
"Why should I go to see the girl, I go to the Qinglou to listen to music and drink to relax, as long as the piano is played well and the wine is strong enough."
Liu Ming felt that he was thundered, there were really people who went to the Qinglou, just to listen to music and drink, wasn't it for...
"Uncle Yan, then why don't you go to the restaurant and teahouse?"
"I've been there a few times, but the piano doesn't play very well, and the wine is still mixed with water, so I have to go to the Qinglou Flower Boat, where the piano is played well, and there is good wine, isn't it happy."
Sure enough, this thing is a straight brain, in other words, a straight man of steel, but I don't know how to open up later.
Oiran: At that time, I thought he was also a layman who coveted my beauty, but after a long time, I realized that he was actually an idiot who came because I played well.
After the faint loss, there was a huge surprise, and I was glad that I finally met my lover.
That night, I specially changed into a red bird silk yellow long-sleeved dress for him and danced for him.
But what I was waiting for was to ask me when I was going to play the piano.
It's really an idiot, but it's not my beloved.
"Then Uncle Yan, have you ever seen an Oiran?"
"Of course I've seen it, but it's too expensive to let Oiran play music, and once he gave me a dance, wasting my time listening to music."
"Then she must have been by you later!"
"Hey, Childe, how do you know, after I said when I played the piano, I cried inexplicably, I didn't understand it at the time."
It's hopeless, it's really an idiot.
The reason why Liu Ming wants to go to Qinglou is mainly for two reasons.
The first is to lower the vigilance of those who have intentions in the house, and at the same time achieve the goal of self-destruction of reputation.
In this way, no one in the mansion will deliberately attack him, and his reputation is poor, and it will be easier to break away from Liufu in the end.
The second is that Liu Ming is full of curiosity about the Qinglou in this world and wants to find out.
When it was almost noon, the princess had prepared the meals for the fourteen people.
Sure enough, the ginger is still old and spicy.
No, it should be amazing, my princess.
It's just that when I went to the kitchen to serve food, she said to me angrily: "Dead girl, have you played enough in the yard, and I don't know how to help." ”
I sneered: "Mother-in-law, I saw that you and Brother Zhao Jin finally met once, so I didn't come to disturb you, and besides, the kitchen is so small, it can't fit so many people." ”
"I know flamboyant tongue all day long, I read with the young master, I don't have a brain, I only have a long mouth, so hurry up and bring the food to the young master."
"Yes, mother-in-law."
"By the way, bring this pot of wine too."
When I arrived at the stone table, I gently put down the square wooden tray, brought out the food and drinks, and then went back and forth twice.
And we were in the young master's study, having lunch.
But there were only four round stools in the academy, but there were nine of us.
Wang Po was sitting, because she was the oldest, and she was afraid that she would not be able to bear it if she stood for a long time.
And Zhao Tiezi and I are the youngest, so we also have one each.
The last one left, I don't know why no one did it.
Wang Po asked the three brothers of the Li family to do it, and then did it instead.
The three Hanhans actually said that it was too troublesome to change around, and it was better to eat directly standing up, and they also ate standing at home.
Later, I did witness their amazing combat effectiveness, like a storm and clouds.
Let me relive some of the memories I once had.
Wang Po smiled and said, "Children, you eat slowly, don't worry, there are still in the kitchen." ”
Li Long stuffed something into his mouth and said, "Godgrandmother, the things you make are so delicious, I can't stop." ”
Although their family helped Liu Ming manage a Zhuangzi.
But where is Zhuangzi's income more than a restaurant, after handing over a part to Liu Ming, although there is a lot left.
The three Li Long brothers went to the school to ask for money, the long-term and short-term jobs in the village asked for money, and the money for clothes all year round, and everywhere they wanted.
This can't be blamed on Liu Ming's partiality, letting Zhao Shi take care of the restaurant, and letting Li Long's father take care of Zhuangzi.
The main reason is that Zhao Shi's mind is more flexible, and his daughter-in-law is also a clever person.
And Li Long's father, Li Shan, is an honest man, admits death, and marries a peasant woman who is also a duty, and likes to save money for his children to marry his daughter-in-law.
Therefore, the food of the three Li Long brothers is much worse.
Besides, an ordinary peasant woman, how can she know how to cook better food, thinking that it is enough to fill her stomach, it is definitely not as exquisite and delicious as Wang Po, who has been cooking for many years.
However, Wang Po didn't mind that Li Long and they ate Haisai like this, but she was very pleased.
Seeing your own food eaten is the greatest affirmation of a chef.
