Volume 1 The Buddhas and Dragons Chapter 25 If Life Is Only as First Seen
Since ancient times, Shu has produced beauties, Li Qingzhu is a famous beauty in Jiangyang City, she can live a life without worrying about food and clothing only by virtue of her beauty, she rejected many local famous families, and the seed brother's courtship, chose to be with a local mediocre man, everyone was strongly opposed to this family affair, Li Qingzhu's parents did not even attend the day of marriage, this no one agreed to the hungry marriage Li Qingzhu was deeply involved and could not extricate himself, without him, I don't know what to do. Her husband's name is Zhang Chengru, his name is not bad, but he is vulgar, he is a well-known green skin, clever tongue, idle all day long, and a group of fox friends and dog friends spend all day drinking and not doing business, I thought that after starting a family, my husband would change, but I never thought that it would just become more and more serious, often do not return home at night, and it is rare to return home with a drunken smell, either to sleep or to pull my daughter-in-law to do that shameful thing. A year later, Li Qingzhu gave birth to a son, whose name is Ruyi, but after the birth of her son, but not as she wanted, her husband is still confused, day after day, year after year, Li Qingzhu's passion gradually fades, and she is already disheartened with her husband.
Between husband and wife, the most afraid of respect for each other is like ice, even if they share the same bed and sleep together every day, it is just a different dream in the same bed, they all say that ten years of cultivation can be crossed in the same boat, and a hundred years of cultivation can be repaired to sleep together, but this fate of a hundred years of cultivation destroys Li Qingzhu day and night, she fantasizes all the time, her husband has a letter of resignation, let himself out of the sea of suffering, but Zhang Chengru covets her beauty, and will not fulfill her wish.
In this way, Li Qingzhu was extremely tormented for another four years, and Ruyi gradually grew up.
One day, Zhang Chengru returned home before sunset for the first time, and brought some of Li Qingru's favorite sweet snacks, which made Li Qingzhu a little flattered, thinking that her husband had reformed his mind, but he didn't expect that Zhang Chengru returned home and put the snacks on the table, and the first thing he said was: "Prepare a concubine for her husband." ”
When Li Qingzhu heard this, tears burst out of his eyes, Zhang Chengru looked at his daughter-in-law's face, and his anger rose from his heart for no reason, "Today, Lao Tzu just informed you, not to discuss with you, if you don't want to, go back to your parents' house!" After speaking, he gave Li Qingzhu a slap, "Don't cry in front of Lao Tzu, your good mood has been disturbed by you." Then he went back to his room and lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
Ruyi heard the sound and secretly ran to her mother, rubbing Li Qingzhu's slightly floating cheeks. The latter was originally grief-stricken, but seeing that the child was so sensible, he couldn't be ruthless, so he had to smile at his son and gently hold him in his arms. After coaxing his son to sleep, Li Qingzhu cried silently alone in the middle of the night.
On the second day, the sky was just white, Zhang Chengru left home early and didn't know where to go, after Li Qingzhu sent the child to the private school, there was nothing to do, so she went to find her close friend Ye Ling.
The Ye family is a famous local family, Ye Ling's original surname is Hong, and after marrying into the Ye family, he followed her husband's surname, but this Ye Ling is not at ease, and her absurd style is debauched, her husband Ye Shixuan is only a partial concubine of the Ye family, and he is cowardly, and he dares to be angry about his wife's deviance, as long as Ye Ling does not bring his concubine into the house, he will never dare to write that letter of resignation because of the reputation of the family.
Li Qingzhu informed Ye Ling of her husband's preparation for a concubine, who sat cross-legged on the bed, stroked the ends of his hair with both hands, and stretched his waist after listening, with a disapproving expression, "Okay, okay, I thought it was a big deal, isn't it just a concubine, you go with him, you can also find a lover, who said that only men are allowed to have three wives and four concubines, and we women are not allowed to face three thousand?"
Since ancient times, men can have three wives and four concubines, and women pay attention to three obedience and four virtues, the first time I heard such absurd words that are contrary to ordinary morality, Li Qingzhu was really shocked for a long time. Ye Ling saw that her friend was like this, and knew that she had a thin face, so she could only follow the temptation and not be in a hurry, so she jumped off the bed, took Li Qingzhu's hand and said: "These things will be put aside first, I heard that a new restaurant has opened in the south of the city, and the chef specially invited the master chef here from the Jiangnan area, and I will take you to taste it today." It is said that the owner of this restaurant is a handsome young man, and it is also a great pleasure in the world to eat delicious food and watch Jun Ge'er, walking. Li Qingzhu was not allowed to refuse, and pulled her straight to the "Yuelai Restaurant" in the south of the city.
Yang Fengshen, as his name suggests, is handsome, young and golden. It is not an authentic Jiangyang City person, but it has opened a three-story restaurant in Jiangyang City, where every inch of land is valuable, and operates a Huaiyang restaurant surrounded by a number of Sichuan restaurants in Shudi, which is not a gamble, after all, those diners who are used to eating spicy dishes may not be able to accept the taste of light and peaceful, but since the "Yuelai Restaurant" has been open for more than a month, the business is extremely hot, and the meal time is even full, and there are not a few diners who fight for a table.
Fortunately, Ye Ling and Li Qingzhu came early, and the two picked a private room by the window on the third floor, and the shopkeeper immediately trotted forward, and asked with a smile on his face, "What do the two girls eat?"
Ye Ling smiled coquettishly: "This little brother, please come to your host's house, my sister has the heart to make friends, by the way, the little woman's surname is Ye." ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he didn't care at first, and he slandered for a while, but when he heard the last sentence, he immediately flattered: "The two girls wait for a while, and Rong Xiao will go and report it." ”
Ye Lingsu waved his hand, "It's so Brother Lao." ”
After a while, the shopkeeper came over with a pot of Biluo spring tea, "The two girls will wait for a while, and the owner will come later, drink some tea first." As he was talking, a young man who came out of the stairs thinking that he was about twenty-four or five years old, with a beautiful appearance, made a joke: "The two girls, in Xia Yang Fengshen, are the shopkeepers of this restaurant. ”
Ye Lingmei's eyes were like silk, "Boss Yang is really true to his name, he is handsome, and he is even more promising, and he can open such a big restaurant in Jiangyang City." ”
Even in the face of Ye Ling, Yang Fengshen still looked flat, but said with a smile in the corner of his eyes: "The girl has won the award, I really don't dare to be a commissioner, I don't know what happened to the girl?"
Ye Ling saw that Yang Fengshen's attitude was cold, and he was slightly unhappy, but the flattery on his face was undiminished, and he chuckled, "This is Li Qingzhu, my good sister, she, she has been in a bad mood recently, so she doesn't pull me here to borrow wine to kill her sorrows, by the way, I want to make friends with you, Boss Yang." ”
In fact, since Yang Fengshen went upstairs, he was shocked by Li Qingzhu with just a glimpse, but he was afraid of the abrupt beauty, and his eyes never stayed on her, and he could finally face her at this moment, and he was secretly happy in his heart. Li Qingzhu heard Ye Ling's words and knew that she did it on purpose, but at this moment, it was difficult to ride a tiger, so she had to stand up and give Yang Fengshen a blessing: "Little girl Li Qingzhu, I have seen Yang Gongzi." The latter hurriedly bent down to return the salute, "Miss Li doesn't need to be polite, I can see you today, and I am fortunate in the next three lives." Ye Ling also quipped on the side: "It's not a marriage, what are you two doing like this, are you going to enter the cave room next?" Li Qingzhu's cheeks suddenly turned crimson, and Yang Fengshen also looked embarrassed when he heard this, and he couldn't stop coughing. Ye Ling no longer teased the two, and said with a smile: "Okay, after talking for so long, my stomach is a little hungry, let's talk while eating." ”
Because of Yang Fengshen's care in advance, one after another exquisite dishes were soon on the table, such as stewed crab roe lion's head, soft pocket long fish, squirrel mandarin fish, Huai'an tea dumplings, three sets of ducks, etc., as well as a few fresh and refreshing seasonal vegetarian dishes, with a wide variety of dazzling. Huaiyang cuisine pays attention to "drunk crab does not look at the lamp, wind chicken does not look at the lamp, the saury fish does not shine, and the sturgeon does not have the Dragon Boat Festival", and it is extremely heavy on knife skills, and it is novel and unique for the two daughters of Ye Li who are used to eating spicy Sichuan cuisine, and the flavor is unique.
Approaching noon, the diners in the restaurant gradually increased, Ye and Li had their own fun, Yang Fengshen also had to take care of the restaurant business, the second daughter said goodbye, Yang Fengshen then got up to see each other, and looked at Li Qingzhu's graceful back at the door of the restaurant, thoughtful.
After a period of time, Ye Ling would still occasionally drink Li Qingzhu and go to Yuelai Restaurant together, but the number of times was not frequent, only once every ten days and half a month, but she didn't know that Li Qingzhu had secretly gone alone with her several times, and Yang Fengshen also had an inexplicable affection when she saw it, but Yang Fengshen knew that she was married to a wife, and she had always adhered to her duty, and she had never crossed the line, Li Qingzhu enjoyed the time when the two were alone.
One day, Ruyi was taken by her grandparents to play at home, Zhang Chengru did not return all night, Li Qingzhu was alone at home, lying on the bed tossing and turning, her mind was full of Yang Fengshen's figure, put on her coat, and walked towards the restaurant. In the restaurant, Yang Fengshen was alone drinking the grape wine from the Western Regions, which was the only one in Shu and had no other semicolon, rubbing the wine glass, and also thinking about Li Qingzhu, although he knew that she was already someone else's wife, and it was unusual, but he couldn't restrain his inner thoughts.
Hearing someone knock on the door, he stopped his thoughts, opened the door and saw Li Qingzhu standing outside, looking peerless and independent against the background of the moonlight, and hurriedly invited her into the house. Yang Fengshen helped Li Qingzhu pour a glass of wine and said, "Try this special grape wine from the Western Regions that is similar to your name." Li Qingzhu raised his head and drank it all, the two complained to each other, and soon a pot of wine was in his stomach.
Through the wine, the two of them acted boldly, it was night, the bedside was stirring, and the layer of window paper was finally pierced.
