Chapter 51: Delicacies
Liu Changqing had no impression of this person, but seeing that the other party had no malicious intentions and was polite, he also replied.
"How dare you, let you praise it falsely, sir!"
The big man was overjoyed when he heard this, and then reported his home to Liu Changqing. It turned out that this big man's surname was Dong Mingda, known as Lu Sheweng, and he was a wealthy businessman in Dengzhou, just because he found out that Liu Changqing was the Haiyan Order of the imperial court, so he wanted to have a relationship with him, and invited him to his home for a light meal by the way, Liu Changqing saw that this Mr. Dong was very bold, and he was particularly enthusiastic about him, and in the face of Mr. Dong's sincere invitation, Liu Changqing was also difficult to shirk, and finally had to accept it.
Mr. Dong claimed that his house was near Baqiao, but Liu Changqing followed Mr. Dong as if he had walked a long way, and some roads were places that Liu Changqing had never seen, probably in the middle of the night, Liu Changqing arrived at Mr. Dong's house, only to see that this house was large and continuous, not to mention covering dozens of acres, and in the vicinity of the house, there was no other way out and people. When Liu Changqing entered Dong's mansion, he saw two huge red lanterns hanging at the door, and he wanted to go up and take a closer look, but Mr. Dong pushed him through the door.
Mr. Dong took Liu Changqing to visit the Dong Mansion briefly, and then ordered someone to prepare a sumptuous dinner for Liu Changqing, during the banquet, Mr. Dong also asked the concubine at home to dance a dance with Western Regions style to Liu Changqing, and the concubine's figure is very soft, as if there are no bones, the concubine danced, and then stepped forward to toast Liu Changqing, although Liu Changqing was a little reluctant, but still picked up the wine glass and drank with the concubine, after the two drank the wine, the concubine gave Liu Changqing an orange, When Liu Changqing took the concubine's orange, he found that the concubine's fingers were colder than frost.
After the concubine finished her performance, she slowly withdrew from the hall, at this time Mr. Dong raised his glass to toast Liu Changqing, Liu Changqing also raised his glass in return, although the two of them showed a very enthusiastic appearance on the surface, but there were always some inexplicable barriers in private, when Liu Changqing looked at Mr. Dong again, he found that he was wearing a torn jacket, wearing rotten straw sandals on his feet, and his hands were covered with calluses, completely dressed as a pawn of a peddler, but I don't know why he has such a solid family background.
After three rounds of drinking, Mr. Dong ordered dozens of delicacies to be served, and after Liu Changqing tasted these delicacies, he felt that every dish was a delicacy in the world, but he didn't know what kind of ingredients were used. Regarding Liu Changqing's curiosity, Mr. Dong did not give a positive answer, but only prevaricated that they are the rarest things in the world.
After the dinner, Liu Changqing was a little drunk, and Mr. Dong did not shy away from it, and directly let his concubine come in to serve Liu Changqing to rest. After the concubine and Liu Changqing left, the girl hiding in the screen behind Mr. Dong coughed twice.
"Daughter, this is the husband you fancie?"
Mr. Dong turned his head to the girl behind him and said, although the girl did not speak, but judging from the silhouette displayed on the screen, the girl should have nodded in acquiescence.
"What's so good about such an ordinary man that makes you fall in love with it so much."
