Chapter 59: The Feast of the Hung Gate? Hongmen Feast!
When he walked out happily with all kinds of dishes without regrets, Bai Nishang was already hungry.
She couldn't wait to stretch out her chopsticks, pick up a chicken leg and put it in her mouth, the appearance of eating it was enough to describe it as "fierce".
"I see that your inn is almost decorated." Bai Nishang looked around the inn with her eyes and nodded with great satisfaction.
"Yes, all of them have been refurbished according to your benefactor's request." Without regrets, he swallowed a mouthful of green vegetables and opened his mouth to respond.
Yes, the decoration of the whole store looks much brighter than before, which does not change the original elegance, but also looks noble.
This person is not so stupid, and the child can be taught.
"Just Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·" I still feel very distressed about the two points that Bai Nishang has refused to tell for a long time.
Bai Nishang glanced at him without regrets, and from his worried look, he was probably also struggling with the tablecloth and gold leaf.
She wiped her somewhat greasy lips with a handkerchief, and a smile curled up at the corner of her mouth, "You go and get the paper, ink, pen and inkstone, I'll tell you how to customize the tablecloth, I've already made the gold leaf for you." β
"Benefactor!" Seeing Bai Nishang's bright smile without regrets, a warm current poured into his heart, his benefactor is really kind and kind, although he is not good-looking, but he cleans up a little, covers his face, and is a stunning beauty in temperament.
Tears glistened in his dark pupils, and his excited little hand grabbed Bai Nisheng's robe, and his tone was unconcealably excited.
"Go, go." Bai Nishang pulled the robe back without moving, and then patted the back of his hand without regrets, telling him to hurry up and get something.
"Okay~" No regrets hurriedly stood up, and before he even had time to swallow what he had just stuffed in, he rushed into his room, and then took out a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone from that room, put it on another clean table, and set it out one by one.
Bai Nishang got up and walked slowly to the table.
Her grandfather is not only a master of traditional Chinese medicine, but also a calligraphy lover, she was with her grandfather, did not fall in love with medicinal materials, but fell in love with calligraphy, naturally with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, she also has a lot of experience.
She lifted the ink-stained brush and painted on the rice paper, and her hands and strokes were like dragons flying and phoenixes dancing, and the wonderful brushstrokes were full of flowers.
In a few moments, a beautiful drawing appeared on the page.
Bai Nishang put the pen on the table, his hand propped up the corner of the table, his fingertips flapped again and again, and his eyes were like water, "Look at it." β
Without regrets, he stretched out his fingertips tremblingly and brushed the surface of the rice paper.
The rice paper is painted with a beautiful picture of begonia peony, which is outlined with an ink-colored pen, even though it is not a brilliant color, but it makes people feel very elegant, luxurious and low-key.
"What is this?" There was a layer of confusion in his eyes without regret.
What does this tablecloth have to do with this picture of fighting for beauty?
"This is the pattern on the tablecloth, you see that each of your tables is antique, but it is slightly boring, and it does not match the whole of today's store, so you go to find the best tailor in the city, and cut for you about the width of this table to add nine inches to the size, which can be used for natural falling, and embroidery according to this picture, be sure to achieve a textured effect."
Bai Ni's eyebrows are black, her eyes are full of seriousness, her eyes are as black as jewels, beautiful and magnificent, and her tone is calm, ensuring that she can understand without regrets.
"I see!" Nodding his head without regrets, he carefully folded the rice paper, put it in his arms, and walked out of the door.
"Why are you in such a hurry, you haven't finished your meal yet." Bai Nishang called, she paced back to the dinner table and ate leisurely.
"I-wait-no-hurry-!" The figure of no regrets has long disappeared in the doorway, leaving only an ethereal voice.
The corners of Bai Nisheng's mouth hooked and shook her head.
It's really urgent.
But such a delicious meal, of course she can't waste it~
Bai Nishang started faster, burying her head in the sea of happy food, she was as happy as a fish, and she took a bite and sighed.
When she couldn't stuff even a grain of rice anymore, she reluctantly put down her chopsticks, held her bulging belly with both hands, rubbed it again and again, and sighed heartily.
Cool!
"Benefactor, I have already handed them the drawings and explained the details, and they said that it will be completed in about seven days!" The voice of no regret suddenly sounded at the door.
Bai Nishang slowly raised his eyes a little slowly, looked over, and saw a joyful face without regrets, his eyes were full of excitement and light, as if he was reborn like fire, and he was no longer as calm as a pool of stagnant water when he first saw him before, and there was no echo when the stones were thrown in.
"Then you're going to open on the next day, and thisβ" Bai Ni bowed, dug into his arms, and finally took out a small porcelain vase and placed it on the table.
"What is this?" No regrets walked in a little, picked up the porcelain vase and looked at it.
It is delicate to the touch and is fine porcelain.
"You open it and take a look." Bai Nishang raised her eyebrows, and a wanton light crossed her eyes.
Without regret, he opened the lid of the porcelain vase with suspicion, and saw a large piece of golden things appearing in it, without any aroma, and the pieces were very light.
"Golden pieces of paper? This is the gold leaf you said benefactor? "Pour out a piece without regret and hold it in your hand.
I only saw that this gold leaf was as thin as a cicada's wings, originally opaque, but under the refraction of light, it seemed to be translucent in gold, shining with golden light, and the brilliance of glass.
No matter how you look at this thing, you think it's so expensive.
"Yes, to put it simply, it is edible gold leaf, and it is recorded in ancient books that 'food gold, calming the spirit, strengthening the bone marrow, and benefiting the five internal organs, and serving the gods. In particular, you can give each dish a more beautiful name, and with this gold leaf, it will definitely be able to sell at a good price! Bai Nishang explained the use of this object, and she seemed to be able to see the inn's thriving future.
And the eyes without regrets reflect the golden brilliance, and the heart is full of longing for the future.
"Thank you, thank you, benefactor!" No regrets felt that the thanks were a little pale, the woman in front of him seemed to be the savior to him, saving him from suffering, he was excited for a while and didn't know how to express his gratitude, so he continued: "Benefactor, benefactor, this, you can stay here tonight to eat, if you are sleepy now, go to the wing room on the second floor to sleep for a while." β
Dinner?
Bai Nishang suddenly thought of something.
Qing Meng, who was haunted last night and didn't want to meet her anyway, said that she would meet her at the City Lord's Mansion tonight, and it would answer all her doubts, and at this moment the invitation was still lying quietly on her chest, still hot.
"No, I still have something to do tonight~ But you borrowed me to sleep in this room, I am indeed a little tired at the moment." Bai Nishang stretched her waist, lazily sighed, opened her legs, and stepped on the ladder step by step.
Although there was a moment of loss without regrets, it was quickly relieved, and it wasn't like I couldn't see it anyway, right?
He called enthusiastically downstairs: "Benefactor, what I kept for you was the wing room you lived in last time, I helped you change the mattress, and I didn't touch some of your things in it before~"
"Got it~" Bai Nishang waved her hand lazily, then opened the wing room and walked in, going directly towards the bed, and finally fell straight down, breathing steadily in the next second, and fell asleep completely.
Without regrets, he sat down and seriously picked up the food in the bowl.
I feel warmer and warmer.
Bai Nishang slept in the dark, she opened her eyes lazily, and glanced out the window lightly.
Oh, it's dark, you can sleep again if you're fine, it's dark for sleep~
Bai Nishang rolled up the quilt and wrapped herself in the quilt, and her eyes were fascinated with peace of mind.
What the!!
It's already dark!
Bai Nishang woke up suddenly, stood up directly from the bed, she hurriedly walked to the window, and saw the bustling people coming and going, and the lively shouting along the street.
She patted her chest with some rejuvenation.
Fortunately, fortunately, she thought that she slept until the second half of the night, and blamed the terrifying cat demon last night, which made her so frightened that she didn't sleep well all night, so she just fell asleep next to the bed.
Bai Nishang took out the money bag from her arms, put two pieces of gold, and hurriedly opened the door of the wing room and rushed out.
When she arrived at the first floor of the inn, it was still empty, but there was smoke wafting from the kitchen, and she secretly said that she should be busy in the kitchen without regrets.
"I'll leave first without regrets, and I'll come back to you another day." After Bai Nishang finished speaking, her figure flickered, and she disappeared into the worry-free inn.
"Eh, I haven't cooked yet~ Benefactor, you pad your stomach before leaving!" No regrets rushed out with a spatula in his hand and an apron tied around his waist, only to see the silence in the hall.
He shook his head, and the benefactor also said that he was anxious and that he was not much better.
When Bai Nishang arrived belatedly and finally arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, she met an unexpected person.
"It's called Hanako!"
"Broken old woman!"
The two spoke in unison, with a thick disbelief in their eyes.
But soon, the woman wearing a golden silk shirt and carrying a string of beads on her hand raised a happy smile on the corner of her mouth, "Yo, there is a way in heaven that you don't go, and there is no door to hell, you want to send it up, called Hanako, how did you meet it so coincidentally~"
Bai Nishang had a smile on her face, and her tone was as calm as possible, "Oh, Mrs. Gui, misunderstanding, it's a pure misunderstanding." β
She had already scolded her father and called her mother in her heart.
Why is this Fengge City so small, the middle-aged woman who she casually fanned down met at the gate of the city lord's mansion, could it be that Qingmeng invited her over to participate in a Hongmen banquet.
"Misunderstanding? The five finger prints on my face are still there, I was in pain for a day and a night, you weren't very arrogant at that time, little called Hanako! The bejeweled middle-aged woman's eyes were like poisonous snakes full of vicious light, and the corners of her mouth were glowing with coldness.
"When you open and close your mouth, you just scream Hanako, and the dog's eyes look down on people." Bai Nishang originally thought that she was here to solve the problem today, and she didn't want to have another incident, but this woman was good, and she called her Hanako again and again, as if she was a lowly subordinate, and the flame in her heart rose for a while.
"Hmph, I'll see how proud you are for a while." The bejeweled middle-aged woman crossed her hands on her hips, and the corners of her mouth were tinged with weirdness, "Someone! β
Come?
Bai Nishang looked at this bejeweled woman, there was not a ghost on her side, who was she calling?
Suddenly, Bai Nishang heard the sound of Qiang Qiang's armor rubbing, and she looked for prestige, only to see the two soldiers guarding in front of the city lord's mansion, holding long swords, walking down the long stairs with neat steps.
As soon as they stood in front of the two of them, they all knelt on the ground, and the iron tool touched the ground with a screeching sound, and they said respectfully, "Madame, what happened?" β
Bai Nishang only felt that the two sharp swords seemed to be about to pierce her soft heart in the next second, and her face suddenly lost blood.
It's over, it's over, she provoked the city lord's wife?
The point is, why does the city lord's wife travel without soldiers? Is it to show that you are low-key? But why would a dignified lady of a city lord wear a fake?
The bejeweled middle-aged woman saw Bai Nishang's panicked appearance, her heart was very happy, the corners of her mouth were about to grin behind her ears, her eyes stared at Bai Nishang viciously, and gave an order, "This little little Hanako ran into Mrs. Ben before, this kind of ragged inferior pariah, how can you enter our prosperous Fengge City, you two come, arrest this little Hanako for me, lock him in a cell, and I will interrogate him personally after the dinner is over!" β
"Yes!" The two soldiers listened to the order and immediately stood up, they were eight feet tall, and they all surrounded Bai Ni Dress, and the arrogance seemed to crush Bai Ni Dress.
If it were someone else, his feet would have trembled with fear at this moment, and his speech would tremble.
Bai Nishang is not like this, she just didn't want to cause trouble and deliberately showed her goodwill, but she didn't expect this bejeweled middle-aged woman to toast and not eat and drink.
Thought she was going to suffer? Are you kidding.
Bai Nisheng's watery eyes shimmered slightly, and her lips were as bright red as poppies, dangerous and aggressive, "Two, just try it." β
Bai Nishang's provocative language stimulated the two soldiers, originally they saw that this little beggar looked thin, and they felt pity in their hearts, thinking that they should not be too heavy, this little beggar actually toasted and did not eat and drink, so Hugh blamed them for being polite.
The two soldiers rubbed their hands together and drew their blades.
The breeze blew and blew the white hair, swaying in the air, she seemed to be a soul messenger from hell, her steps were ghostly, her body was extremely fast, but in an instant she escaped the encirclement of the two and disappeared from the sight of the two soldiers.
"What about people?"
"yes, what about people?" The two soldiers looked at each other.
"Are you looking for me~" Not far away, there was a cold, seemingly casual voice.
The two soldiers looked at each other, only to see that the lady who was protected by them and stood aside to watch the play was actually caught by the little beggar at this moment, and a sharp knife was pressed against the throat of the lady, and life and death were on the line.
"You! Hand over Madame quickly, and we will spare you from death. "The two soldiers were completely incredulous, they had not yet begun to fight, they were already on the passive.
At this moment, the bargaining chips are in the hands of the little beggar in front of him.
