The two of them rode in a carriage to shuttle in the downtown area, Lou Xiaoyun looked around excitedly, and the doors of the shops in the market were full of tangram items, including tangram dough sculptures, paper-cutting, colorful embroidery, etc. Lou Xiaoyun felt fresh when she saw everything, and in the end she couldn't help but stop the carriage and had to go down.

Seeing this, Pei Ying couldn't stop him, so he had to dismount and ask the groom to set up the carriage and horses, and the three of them walked through the crowd. Lou Xiaoyun looked here and touched there, and after a while, Pei Ying carried a lot of small objects she liked.

Pei Ying walked to Luo Li's side, lowered her voice and said, "Today's list is fake, but it's true to play." ”

Luo Li looked at her sideways, smiling without saying a word.

Half an hour later, the three of them walked to Yuweixuan in Yaxiang with large bags. Luo Li threw a few silver leaves to Xiao Er at the door, "Go and find a private room for the master, so that you can see the land to Luoshui." ”

Xiao Er held the silver leaf in his hand, he didn't dare to put it up, he said in embarrassment: "This master, it's really unfortunate, today is the day when the calligraphy and painting academy releases the list, and now the private rooms have been booked out, and there is really no private room." You see that the lobby inside is going to be full, why don't I find a secluded lobby location for you?"

Luo Li threw a folding fan to Xiao Er and said, "Go and show your shopkeeper Li Qing, and ask if you can find a private room for your master." ”

As soon as Xiao Er heard that this little boy knew the shopkeeper Li, he first took a few people into the lobby, found a table for them to serve some tea and melon seeds, and ran to the backyard to find the shopkeeper.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Luo had acquaintances in any restaurant in Yanyang. Pei Ying teased.

"There are so many restaurants in this alley, I like to eat this Yu perfume boiled fish, the fish fillet is thinly cut, and it is very fresh. I've been eating a lot, and I naturally got to know the shopkeeper, who is also a lover of calligraphy and painting, which is very interesting. ”

After two teas, a young man followed Xiao Er just now. This person was richly dressed, average-looking, and had the feeling of an upstart, and when he saw Luo Li, he did not step forward, but looked at it first, because this person looked a little different from before.

Luo Li smiled and said, "Brother Li, don't come to harm!"

As soon as Li Qing heard this voice, he recognized it, and said with a smile: "Little brother, you, you, I haven't seen you for a long time, where have you been fooling around?"

"Brother Li, it's only been a month, and the younger brother went out on a long trip and only returned to Yanyang yesterday. Today, I brought a little brother to you to try it. ”

Li Qing was very enthusiastic, looked at Lou Xiaoyun for a while, and then put his arm around Luo Li's shoulders and walked to the backyard like a brother. He said, "Little brother, I only knew that I was looking for the eldest brother when I was greedy! Hey, what about your brother Anu? Why didn't you see him today?"

Luo Li whispered: "Little Anu has been to the school recently, and he is not available. ”

"Okay, it's all full today, go to my brother's attic, and my brother will prepare a few side dishes for you that you like. ”

"Thank you Brother Li for saving face, then the little brother is welcome, haha. ”

Li Qing put it to her ear and asked softly, "Little Brother Luo, isn't this my brother and sister?"

Luo Li looked at him and glanced at Lou Xiaoyun, Lou Xiaoyun's dress failed to deceive Li Qing, mainly because Lou Xiaoyun was too thin, although she was disguised, her skeleton could not be changed.

"Big brother, it's inconvenient for women to come out, you know. ”

"It's okay, big brother understands. ”

Li Qing was hospitable and led the three of them to the attic in the private courtyard at the back, which was transparent on all sides, with a view of the Luo River on the north side, and a private room in the restaurant on the west side.

Xiao Er quickly put down the curtain on the attic, leaving only the side of Luoshui, and took out some ice cubes and put them in the ice buckets around him, and the two maids came over to fan the cool air.

It was the first time for Lou Xiaoyun to watch Luoshui from such a high place, and she excitedly walked to the seat on the north side and looked at the painting boat on the river. Pei Ying, out of the instinct of his duties, was looking around here.

Luo Li and Li Qing sat at the dining table chatting, mostly discussing their appreciation of calligraphy and painting.

When Li Qing talked about his excitement, he also went to the inner courtyard to pick up a few paintings from his recent collection and let Luo Li help him feast his eyes.

After a while, the maidservant came with food.

There are a total of eight dishes such as Chongqing perfume boiled fish, husband and wife lung slices, brown sugar glutinous ba, etc., and four bowls of pear blossom jelly and two jars of aging.

The round table was packed.

Lou Xiaoyun was attracted by the fragrance of chili peppers, looked at the hot food on this table, and said excitedly: "Big brother, what kind of dish is this, it looks so fragrant!"

Without waiting for Luo Li to open his mouth, Li Qing replied first: "Little brother, have you never eaten Chongqing cuisine? These are all delicacies from my hometown, come and try them." As he spoke, he sandwiched a piece of fish meat for Lou Xiaoyun.

"Thank you, Brother Li!"

A few people sat down, Luo Li filled a cup for herself and Li Qing, she wanted to pour a cup for Pei Ying, but Pei Ying refused.

Lou Xiaoyun looked at Luo Li with blank eyes, and also wanted to ask for a glass of wine.

"Lou Gongzi, don't drink it, I don't want Pei Ying to carry you back for a while. Luo Li ruthlessly refused, she was afraid of Xiao Yun's amount of alcohol, and poured a glass!

Li Qing laughed beside him, this little brother Luo's refreshing personality was what he admired the most. In these years, people are handsome, have a lot of money, and are funny and not pretentious, who doesn't like it?

A few people were eating happily, and there was a beating sound of "pop, pop, pop" from the private room opposite, and there was a lot of movement.

Pei Ying put down her chopsticks and walked to the curtain, opened a corner, looked at the situation opposite, sighed, and walked back to sit down.

"Pei Ying, what's going on?" asked Luo Li.

Lou Xiaoyun and Li Qing also looked at her curiously.

"The man in the private room opposite drank too much and was beating people. Pei Ying said helplessly.

Li Qing is an old fritter in the business field, these things that bully the small with the big and oppress people with power have long been numb, he asked Lou Xiaoyun: "Lou Gongzi, how do you feel about the first time you taste Yuzhou cuisine?"

Lou Xiaoyun's eyes were now spicy with tears in her eyes, and she said with red cheeks, "Brother Li, this dish is delicious, it's just too spicy!"

Li Qing laughed and pushed the cold powder in his hand, "Little brother, if you feel spicy, eat some cold powder to relieve the spiciness." ”

When Lou Xiaoyun heard this, she picked up the spoon and slowly tasted the cold powder.

In the final analysis, Lou Xiaoyun is everyone's girlfriend, and her eating posture is a few grades more elegant than Luo Li. Li Qing looked at the "Lou Gongzi" in front of him with great interest, holding the jade spoon with his orchid fingers, looking a little funny.

When the incident just now was about to be forgotten by everyone, there was a voice of abuse from the private room opposite.

"I'm really angry with the old man, it's the stinky girl next to me who affected the old man when she tried for the first time, and now she hasn't passed the first try, I really can't swallow this bad breath! It's all you, a mourning star, who mourns his face every day, and the old man went back to Liangzhou to sell you back to southern Xinjiang as a slave!"

"Bang, bang, bang......" is another sound of a string of bamboo strips beating.

It's really a narrow road.

Luo Li recognized the voice and stood up with a "poof". In an instant, Pei Ying and Li Qing grabbed her at the same time.

Li Qing said helplessly: "Little brother, that is the painter recommended by the director of the Rite Academy, who lived in the Tianzi room last month, and his temper is very stinky, and he is like this every day...... Ay...... But people have backers, we little people can't afford to mess with us, you better listen to the eldest brother and sit down......"

She sat down and grinned, "The lesson of the eldest brother is that the emperor doesn't care, why are we ordinary people doing to be strong, or come to the bar, do it!"

Pei Ying's back was cold when she looked at her gloomy and sunny appearance.

After a few people finished eating, Luo Li threw a folding fan to Li Qing when he left, and said with a smile: "Big brother, the paintings of Luo painters you just showed me are all fakes, and the younger brother has a genuine one, so take it and appreciate it." ”

Li Qing was stunned, patted his head, smiled and sent him off, and when he returned to the dining table, he saw the two gold leaves left by Luo Li.

This little brother really hasn't changed at all.
