Li Xiaoqi bent his eyes and smiled, and Luo Yan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "It turns out that the fifth master is teasing me with this, which scares me!" ”

"Who is teasing you? I'm telling the truth, but according to what I mean, this hook column, it's best to sell your art rather than sell your body, we have to win with our skills, and as soon as we sell our bodies, we will fall behind, and it will be even more difficult for those kabuki and maiko to marry well in the future, what do you say? Li Xiaoqi said slowly, Luo Yan was really stunned this time, and he stayed for a long time before he sighed through his tone: "The fifth master is the fifth master, this •••••• this •••••• really makes people don't know what to say!" Li Xiaoqi straightened up and stretched out his hand to pour the tea, Luo Yan hurriedly poured it first, gave it to Li Xiaoqi with both hands, looked at her carefully and confirmed: "Fifth Master is really not joking?" ”

"Well, what's the joke about that? Those miscellaneous dramas outside, I watch those men play women, how to look at how they don't look good, but they don't have that soft taste, we can do the opposite, all women play miscellaneous dramas, think about it, if all women are used to play talented and beautiful women, how good it looks! I'll help you think about a few small plays, our hook bar also has to set the rules, the ladies are performing, let them share, so save some silver, and release people at the age of twenty, whether to go or stay with them, these you look back and think about it, first roughly think of a rule to come out and bring it to me, the first one is open in Kaiping Mansion, if I expect it to be good, this second one, maybe you can open to this Yangzhou City, these two days let's take a good look at the Yangzhou Goolan tile, you know, Yangzhou tile is very famous. Li Xiaoqi commanded while thinking, Luo Yan listened attentively, and saw that she was not casually saying it at all, she was stunned for a long time, looked at Li Xiaoqi and shook her head and whispered: "Fifth master, this is not appropriate." ”

"What's wrong?" Li Xiaoqi asked in surprise, Luo Yan looked at Li Xiaoqi and smiled bitterly: "The fifth master is an innocent and noble girl's family, and if she marries someone in the future, her reputation is the most important, not to mention doing the goulan business, it is not suitable to go to the goulan, the fifth master is such a character and talent, in the future•••••• where are ordinary people worthy of the fifth master?" The fifth master wants to marry, naturally he wants to marry into those clans, marry those men who are worthy of girls, this reputation can not be wrong, it is my ••••••" Luo Yan's lips trembled for a moment, and said with a forced smile: "I know that the fifth master has never looked down on me, I think it is out, but the more this is the case, the more Luo Yan can not even affect the fifth master, and when I return to Kaiping Mansion, the fifth master will send me to the Zhuangzi, that is, not to the Zhuangzi, but also to put it outside the second gate, I can do anything for the fifth master, but I can't wait for the fifth master closely, I •••••• Not worthy of it! ”

Li Xiaoyi's heart was sad when he heard this, he raised his hand and pressed back the tears that were about to gush out with a handkerchief, and choked in his throat for a moment before he spoke: "Your thoughts, what I said•••••• my heart is very sour, you are all for my good, I know." Li Xiaoqi stopped talking, looked at Luo Yan, and sighed sadly and said with a wry smile: "I don't know how to tell you, I can't tell you clearly, you can't understand, you see, I am different from the women in this world, in fact, I am different from the men in this world." Luo Yan laughed when she heard this: "The girl is really •••••• the girl is a girl's family, of course, it is different from the men in this world!" ”

"Well, you see, I'll just say, I don't understand, you can't understand, in this world, I'm almost a monster, an outlier, although it seems ordinary, in fact, I know •••••• alas!" Li Xiaoqi looked at the dazed Luoyan, sighed, straightened up, and said with a relaxed smile: "Actually, I didn't plan to get married, what is the good of marrying?" Luo Yan looked at Li Xiaoqi in a daze and said: "The fifth master is too smart, and he understands too well, those men can't keep up with you, maybe they will destroy you, is this what the fifth master means?" Li Xiaoqi raised her eyebrows and looked at Luo Yan, she was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to say, without waiting for her to speak, Luo Yan continued: "That's too, let's get married, either ask for a know-your, or find someone to rely on, just rely on it, the fifth master is like this, why do you need to rely on others?" How many people rely on the fifth master! If the fifth master wants to get married, he will ask for a know, and this knowing, they all say that it is impossible to meet, and it is true! Don't just stick to not marrying the fifth master, if you really know that you love you, you will marry, speaking of which! Luo Yan clapped her hands lightly, dancing her eyebrows and getting excited: "If there is really such a person, it is designated as a dragon and phoenix among people, and this vision must be extraordinary!" ”

"Okay," Li Xiaoqi interrupted Luo Yan's words with a smile and helplessness: "There is no such person, I tell you, I am a monster, just say the same, you can listen and see if you can understand a little, I look at men, just like men look at women, they want our women to keep their chastity, I also want them to guard, you say, the dragon and phoenix in the person you said are willing to agree?" Can you keep it? Luo Yan was dumbfounded when he heard this, and stayed for a long time before he took a deep breath, raised his hand and patted his chest and said, "Fifth Master, this idea is really good ••••••!" But speaking of which, there is really something that forces men to keep chastity! Princess Depei of the previous dynasty, this dynasty also has it, I heard that Chen Dashuai just didn't even have a room••••••"

"Chen Dashuai's wife is a girl from the Wei family?"

"Yes!" Luo Yan replied with a smile: "I heard that it is Princess Ning's cousin who did not come out of the five suits, alas, the more difficult it is, there are many dragons and phoenixes among the people of this dynasty, such as King Liang, you have to count the first one, and the second master of the Shui family, which is not bad, the fourth son of Prime Minister Zuo's family is also good, and there are a few, it's good!" There are also the top three new subjects every year, all of which can be regarded as dragons and phoenixes among people, but the difficulty is difficult in this confidant, you have to know the good of the fifth master, like the good of the fifth master, this is a difficult step, and now the fifth master wants people to keep chastity, according to the character of the fifth master, even if you keep it, you must also be willing to keep it yourself, which is even more difficult! Luo Yan frowned and sighed, Li Xiaoqi smiled and bent his eyes, raised his cup and drank tea slowly, listening to Luo Yan seriously talk about these two or three difficulties, Luo Yan sighed a few times: "The fifth master is not going to marry, but he is also calm, you see, this princess, too noble to marry, the fifth master, too smart to marry, as long as the fifth master can think of it, it is really •••••• to marry or not, anyway, I don't plan to follow anyone, no one will follow, even if the eight sedan chairs marry me in the past to be the head lady, I don't want to, The fifth master really wants to open this hook bar? ”

"Hmm!" Li Xiaoqi affirmed the promise, and the eyebrows of the wild goose danced: "Open the world's first hook bar, my life is worth living!" ”

While the two were talking, the car stopped at the side door of Fengyulou, the largest wine store in Yangzhou, Luo Yan hurriedly handed the hat to Li Xiaoqi to wear, and he also took a veil to put on the hat that only reached the shoulders, jumped out of the car first, and helped Li Xiaoqi to get out of the car, Danyue and Begonia wore hats and were already waiting outside the car, seeing Li Xiaoqi coming down, three people surrounded her before and after, and then outside Nanning and Changchang with a long follower guard, there were already two mothers-in-law waiting outside the side door, leading everyone into the side door, along the quiet path of flowers and trees in the courtyard, straight inside, Li Xiaoqi paused, pointed to the mother-in-law and signaled to the wild goose, the wild goose understood, took a few steps forward, walked to the mother-in-law's side, and asked with a smile: "Mama, does this rich building often receive female guests?" ”

"Not really! Our Fengyu building is divided into inner and outer courtyards, and this courtyard is specially used to serve the girls and grandmothers, but the girls and grandmothers love to come at noon, if the girl comes at noon, it is necessary to book the land two or three days in advance, and there will be much less at night, and the girl will say hello before coming. The mother-in-law loves to talk very much, and when she asks and answers ten, Luo Yan sighs in surprise: "This is really rare!" It's Taiping Mansion, and there are very few girls and grandmothers who are so specially located in the courtyard! ”

"The girl is back to our Yangzhou for the first time, right? We are rich in Yangzhou, there is a son raised, first sent to study, read for seven or eight years, if you can become a talent, for him to be admitted to the Shi, if not that piece of material, it will be sent to the student, there is a ability, the business is done at the end of the sea, the silver flows into the house like sea water, it is not capable, do a little business, life is more than rich, this business is not easy, the business is big, the man is outside all the year round, the woman has to manage the shop and warehouse at home, do a small business, the man sells goods, the woman manages the account, The women in our Yangzhou Mansion are different from the women in other places, girl, don't you say? ”

Luo Yan was surprised to hear it, and was about to ask again, but the mother-in-law stopped in front of a chic and elegant warm pavilion, and smiled and said, "Is this place suitable for the girl?" Luo Yan hurriedly flashed to the side, the light moon helped Li Xiaoqi slowly into the warm pavilion, Li Xiaoqi turned his head to look around, nodded with satisfaction, Begonia hurriedly put the cushion in his arms on the chair on the top, Li Xiaoqi took off the hat and handed it to Luo Yan, did not sit down, walked to the window, pushed open the window, the window is a huge lake, the light on the opposite side of the lake is faint, this rich building is famous for its scenery, it is really worthy of its name.

Luo Yan, Danyue, and Begonia accompanied Li Xiaoyi, and this meal lasted for nearly an hour, and then they got in the car and went back to the inn satisfied.

Li Xiaoqi walked around Yangzhou for three or four days in a row, taking the falling geese, the light moon, and begonias everywhere every day to visit silk and satin shops, jewelry and antique shops, and all kinds of shops, and at noon and evening he picked the most famous wine shop in Yangzhou to try it.

In the past few days, Fifth Brother Zhao is also busy with his feet, the girl sent him to find a few really skilled silk reeling masters to bring back to Kaiping Mansion anyway, this thing is not easy, there are a lot of skilled silk reeling masters, but it is difficult to find someone who is willing to go to Kaiping Mansion, Zhao Fifth Brother had to be patient and carefully searched, and searched for four or five days, only to find a good craft and willing to go, Zhao Fifth Brother had no choice but to report to Li Xiaoyi, Li Xiaoqi breathed a long sigh of relief, there is one, there is a master, there is an apprentice, Bring a few more apprentices out.
