The car stopped at the side gate of Kaibao Temple, Li Xiaoqi turned around and took Su Zicheng's cloak and handed it to him, then took his cloak and put it on, and got out of the car behind Su Zicheng, the air was still filled with the smell of firecrackers, and the smell of incense lingering inside and outside the temple, which made people feel a sense of joy and wealth in the festival, Li Xiaoqi squinted his eyes and took a deep breath, wrapped in a cloak, Su Zicheng turned his head to look at her, frowned and smelled the smell of gunpowder in the air, and looked at Li Xiaoqi in puzzlement, Li Xiaoqi smiled and said: " The smell of firecrackers is the taste of the reunion and celebration of the world, the smell of incense is the taste of inviting relatives and ancestors to celebrate together, everyone has been busy for a year, finally not in vain, can have a peaceful and festive Spring Festival, they are happy, and let their ancestors and relatives be happy together, how good this tastes! Su Zicheng raised his eyebrows and couldn't help laughing, which made some sense.

Dongping led the two straight into the Guanyin Palace, and the two of them withdrew after the incense, got into the car outside the side door, and went back to the Liang Wangfu to change clothes. The car entered the second door, Su Zicheng hesitated and was about to speak, Li Xiaoqi hurriedly smiled and said, "I'll wait for you in the car." Su Zicheng listened, as if hesitating, then nodded with a smile, jumped out of the car, and went into the inner courtyard to change clothes. It's just a cup of tea, Su Zicheng changed into an azure gray thin silk cotton robe, a navy blue silk gray fox cloak, lifted the curtain and got into the car, Li Xiaoqi put down the book in his hand, looked up at Su Zicheng, bent his eyes and smiled without speaking, this dress is just right for shopping, fortunately he didn't wear any silk sable.

The car went out of the second door again, Li Xiaoqi said with a smile: "Let's go to Fengle Building to see the excitement for a while, and it's time for lunch, I just asked Nanning to send someone over to pass the word, let's have lunch in Fengle Building, I asked the chef of Fengle Building to try a few new dishes, just to taste the taste." Su Zicheng changed his clothes, he seemed to be much more comfortable, stretched his arms, and nodded with a smile: "I will listen to you today." Li Xiaoqi pursed his lips and smiled, poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, Su Zicheng took it and slowly drank two sips, the two sat opposite each other and drank a small half cup of tea, and the car entered the back door of Fengle Building.

The two got out of the car, Nanning greeted them, and reported with a smile: "Back to the master, the front is very lively, the white shopkeeper is so busy that he can't give birth to sixteen hands and feet, and the little one has the courage to call the shots, and he didn't let him come over." ”

"We just want to watch the excitement quietly, as soon as he comes over, it will be bad, and the private room will be kept?" Li Xiaoqi didn't wait for Su Zicheng to answer, and responded with a smile first,

"Keep it! borrowed a few guts from the white shopkeeper, and did not dare to give the fifth master's private room to others. Nanning replied to Li Xiaoyi's words with a smile, and quietly looked at Su Zicheng, seeing him looking at Li Xiaoyi, smiling with a resigned look, he also made up his mind, led the two sideways, and walked along the passage used in Fengle Building, all the way to an inconspicuous private room at the east corner of the second floor of the front hall.

Beiqing had already waited in the private room with a few small servants, Li Xiaoqi and Su Zicheng had just gone to the cloak, and they heard the report of the white shopkeeper of Fengle Lou who had lowered it, Li Xiaoqi hurriedly motioned to Nanning to let him in, Nanning lifted the curtain, and the white shopkeeper bowed down and entered the house, respectfully greeted the salute, and said with a smile: "Good New Year, good New Year, good New Year." ”

"But it's going well?" Li Xiaoqi looked at the white shopkeeper and asked with a smile, the white shopkeeper's eyes were only slitted with a smile, and he hurriedly bowed down and replied, "Smooth!" This year, we Fengle upstairs up and down, this year is just one word: busy! Since the post was issued a year ago, I have been busy all the way to today, and today is just a busy start, but I am afraid that I have to be busy for fifteen, according to the instructions of the fifth master, from the twenty-fourth of the lunar month to the fifteenth of the first month, one day is counted as three days' wages! It's busy, it's busy! This morning, the account room only cares about collecting money for chips, and the fifth master doesn't ask me how much silver I get, and I don't know, it's good to only keep the silver chips at this time, and I'll wait for the silver in the evening••••••"

"Okay, but the question went well, you look at you, but I said a lot, okay, you don't have to delay here, go outside to get busy, I'll accompany my master to see the excitement, I'll leave after lunch, no need to go over and wait." Li Xiaoqi interrupted the white shopkeeper's words, and ordered with a smile, the white shopkeeper responded with a smile, looked up at Su Zicheng, and saw that he was sitting leisurely drinking tea, and had no intention of speaking, so he hurriedly agreed and retreated.

Li Xiaoqi stood in front of the window and looked out through the silk curtain, Su Zicheng stood up and walked behind her, and also looked out.

"It's clear to see here." Su Zicheng said with a little surprise, Li Xiaoqi pointed at the silk curtain with his finger and explained: "This silk yarn is special, I asked people to draw a warp thread from the next line, and this curtain is much more transparent, look at the lights in this room." Li Xiaoqi turned around and signaled to the room, Su Zicheng followed Li Xiaoyi's finger and looked over, only to find that the lights in this room were all placed on the ground, or very low, and the lights were lower than the window, Li Xiaoqi then explained: "Put the lights like this, we look bright in the house, but it will be dark when we look inside, so let's stand in front of the window and see the outside clearly, and when we look at the house from the outside, it is dark." Su Zicheng raised his eyebrows in surprise, he had never paid attention to these things.

"Hui Ye, it's this Li'er, standing in the yard in the dark and looking at the house clearly, you can look outside from the house, you can't see anything, it's probably a Li'er." Dongping smiled and answered, Su Zicheng shook his head with a smile, looked at Li Xiaoqi and said, "It turns out that you kept this private room to watch the movement." ”

"Well, otherwise you don't have to pick such a place, you see, this is on the corner of the stage, and the stage is the least cheap, but you can see the private rooms and lobbies facing the stage, it is clear." Li Xiaoqi carefully looked at the few private rooms outside and explained, Su Zicheng didn't speak again, and looked out following Li Xiaoyi's gaze.

On the second floor diagonally opposite, there are more than ten spacious private rooms separated by brightly painted wooden boards, one in the middle and one to the west, Guo Nefang, the eldest son of Ningyi Hou's Mansion, is applauding excitedly, Guo Newei, the eldest son of Ning'an Hou Guo Minqing, has a flushed face, is holding a cup, staring at the stage, I don't know whether to drink tea or drink, Su Zicheng raised his hand and nodded, and asked in surprise: "You invited?" ”

"No, it was Lu Feng who wanted to invite him, and Lu Feng said that Uncle Guo has great experience in appreciating beauties, which is admirable." Li Xiaoqi replied leisurely, Su Zicheng stared at Guo Nefang who was screaming excitedly with a strange expression for a moment, and then looked away and looked to the side, next to Guo Nefang, it was Lu Feng, next to Lu Feng sat a teenage boy, his face was flushed, excited and cramped, Su Zicheng almost choked in one breath, nodded at the boy, turned his head to look at Li Xiaoyi, Li Xiaoqi spread his hands and said: "Don't ask me, I don't know." Su Zicheng turned his head and instructed Dongping: "Go and ask, when did the third master come, who did he come with, and did the palace know." ”

"Just ask Luo Yu directly." Li Xiaoqi hurriedly followed the instructions, Dongping nodded and agreed, and after a while, he inquired back, and lowered his hand to report: "Back to the master, Luoyu said that the third master came with Uncle Guo, and when he saw that the second master Lu was there, he went to sit in the room of the second master Lu." ”

Li Xiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at Su Zicheng, Su Zicheng frowned, was silent for a moment, shook off the folding fan and shook it, and continued to look out the window, Li Xiaoqi beckoned to Dongping, and commanded in a low voice: "You go again, tell Luoyu, who is the third master with, and who do you have to go back with, let him pay attention." Dongping agreed, and glanced at Su Zicheng out of the corner of his eye, seeing that he only pretended not to hear, he hurriedly went out lightly to spread the word.

The hall on the first floor suddenly cheered like thunder, Su Zicheng hurriedly turned his head to look at the stage, but Li Xiaoqi looked at Lu Feng, Lu Feng had already jumped up and stood next to the railing, patted the railing hard, and shouted loudly, Li Xiaoqi pursed his lips and explained to Su Zicheng with a smile: "This is the top brand of Kaiping Mansion." Su Zicheng frowned, turned his head to look at the private room on the second floor, where half of them had already stood up, and Li Xiaoqi continued to explain with a smile: "I heard that this slender man is good at small songs, I haven't heard it yet, just listen to how well he sings." ”

"Who is all this to listen to?" Su Zicheng asked with a frown, and Li Xiaoqi laughed: "Who else is going to listen to this?" Who doesn't know Kaiping Mansion, is it the top card of Kaiping Mansion? ”

"You are a girl's ••••••" Su Zicheng was about to reprimand, Li Xiaoqi raised a finger to his lips, signaling him to silence, downstairs on the stage, a whimpering flute sounded, and a female voice as euphemistic as a yellow warbler out of the valley sounded, babbling and singing a small song. Li Xiaoqi listened attentively with his ears sideways, sighed softly and exclaimed: "Sure enough, the singing is good, this top brand really has the doorway of the top brand." ”

Su Zicheng wrinkled his eyebrows and stared at Li Xiaoyi, and was about to speak again in annoyance, Li Xiaoqi smiled and waved his hand and sat back on the chair, picked up a cup of tea and drank two sips before looking at Su Zicheng and greeted with a smile: "Drink a cup of tea and watch the excitement again, but after listening to a little song, we are here to have fun today." Su Zicheng sat down at the round table, picked up the cup and frowned and sipped tea, Li Xiaoqi looked at him and persuaded tactfully: "This female trick is the same as this wine shop, it is a place for friends to gather and have fun, and there is nothing wrong with it." ”

"I don't say if they're good or not, it's you! What will happen to Lu Feng last time•••••• this female trick is not something you should know! Su Zicheng reprimanded in a low voice, Li Xiaoqi raised his eyebrows and wanted to refute, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed back, forget it, don't have the same knowledge as him, don't provoke him today, Li Xiaoqi lowered his eyebrows, and agreed softly: "I know." Su Zi looked at Li Xiaoyi, who suddenly became soft, and didn't know what to say for a while.
