Chapter VI
"Hehe, Miss Xiao, I knew that you must have something you didn't tell me, it seems that you are very similar to what happened to me before, you can live like this with confidence, don't say anything about miscellaneous things, you should be in your own home." ”
I almost didn't cry, tears kept falling, the image of this beautiful woman in front of me has been so perfect that she doesn't tolerate anyone's violation, if someone bullies Li Beauty now, I will not be afraid to protect her, and now I understand what it means to die as a confidant.
I picked up the cup:
"Sister Ting, thank you, this glass of wine is for you. After that, I drank the wine in one sip again, and I was also choked again.
"Why don't I recognize you as my sister, I have no relatives, and you will be my sister in the future, and you will have relatives. ”
The flow of tears increased, and I couldn't help it, and I cried out with a wow.
Li Numei snuggled me on her shoulder and let me cry, just patting me on the back.
Then I talked a lot with Li Meinu, but I really couldn't remember what I was talking about, alcohol and excitement, and it didn't take long for me to get drunk until I lost consciousness and fell asleep.
When I woke up, it was already noon the next day.
Fortunately, I have learned how to dress, and I still tinkered for a long time before going out.
The sun was shining outside the door, and the blue sky made me feel a lot better, but my head was still a little dizzy, and I walked through the arch in the middle of the garden to the restaurant.
I guess it's almost noon, and there are a lot of people eating inside.
From afar, I saw Li Meinu standing at the counter, and Xiaolu was also busy serving dishes in the dining room, and I walked next to Li Meinu.
"Sister Ting, is there anything you can do to help?"
"Sister Qin is up, there's nothing for you to help, go upstairs and find a place to rest, Ah Hu, go pour a cup of tea for Miss Xiao." ”
After finishing speaking, a soldering man appeared next to me, I didn't know why he appeared next to me, and I saw this man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a broad nose, a Chinese face, sporadic stubble on his chin, unusually developed muscles, and a height of at least 1.8 meters. The stop in front of me suddenly made me feel very depressed.
"Miss Qin, upstairs, please. "This tiger is also full of anger when he speaks.
"Sister Qin, you go up first, I'll come up when I'm done, and I'll eat here at noon today." ”
I smiled, nodded, and followed Fat Tiger to the second floor of the restaurant.
After sitting down for tea, Fat Tiger hurriedly went downstairs again.
There were also many diners sitting at the tables next to him, and the noise was non-stop.
After a while, Xiaolu went upstairs with a teapot to accompany me, and I asked her to sit next to me and ask about this restaurant.
The name of this restaurant is Fengweixuan, Li Meinu came here 5 years ago to buy the original brothel and reopened, the business has always been very prosperous, the people who come and go, ordinary people, dignitaries and nobles seem to give Li Meinu face, Xiaolu has been born very little in the past 3 years.
At the beginning of this restaurant, Li Meinu had a housekeeper named Uncle Cheng, also surnamed Li, who was in his 40s, as if Li Meinu was brought up by him since she was a child, and she also came here with Li Meinu to open a restaurant. When Xiao Lu showed me, this Uncle Cheng was making a list for the guests next to the table downstairs, giving me the first impression that this Uncle Cheng was not simple, anyway, he didn't look like a restaurant housekeeper, a person in his 40s was full of energy, and he glanced at him inadvertently, his eyes were particularly lethal, like a snake spitting letters, I hurriedly turned my head.
In addition to the fat tiger I already know, there is also a person named Xiao Wang, who is not very old and has a thin body, but he is very quick in doing things. The person in charge of collecting money and comprador is a scholar named Lu Ziqing, looking in the direction of Xiaolu's finger, Mr. Lu is at the counter where Li Meinu was standing just now, the surname Lu is the same age as Li Meinu, and the appearance looks okay, I thought to myself that this should not be Li Meinu's good looks.
Before I could ask, Xiaolu said that this Lu was a local and already had a wife, because he had failed the imperial examination several times, so he had to come to the restaurant to help and make up for the family. Xiao Lu in the kitchen didn't say much.
Hearing this, I suddenly had a great curiosity in my heart, according to Xiaolu, Li Meinu is not a local, 5 years ago to open a restaurant here, at that time I bought such a big house, it is said that it should cost a lot of money, and black and white are very open, Li Meinu said that her life experience and I told him to listen to me are very similar, so Li Meinu's parents should also have an accident, brought up by this Uncle Cheng, and has been helping her take care of the hotel, but the boss is Li Meinu, why not Uncle Cheng himself is the boss, is the money to buy the restaurant Li MeinuOr was it left by Li Meinu's parents at that time?
And Li Meinu also said before that when she was a child, her family conditions were not bad, and she also invited a private school to teach her at home, what happened later, or was this Li Meinu who was the person before?
I asked Xiaolu, Xiaolu only knew that Li Meinu was very good to Uncle Cheng, and Li Meinu had also said that this Uncle Cheng was her own uncle, and the rest was not clear.
Thinking of this, I also scolded myself, Li Meinu is so good to herself, and she is still such a bastard to inquire about other people's life experiences, too, no matter what Li Meinu is, she saved me, and treats me as my own sister, think about it, if there is no her, if I fall into the hands of bad people!! I'm afraid that I have already gone through a miserable life now.
While I was still thinking nonsense, Li Meinu and Uncle Cheng went upstairs to the table and sat down. Then Xiao Wang went upstairs with the food and put it on the table.
"Let me introduce you, this is Uncle Cheng. Li Meinu got up and said to me.
"Hello Uncle Cheng, my name is Xiao Qin. After speaking, I habitually raised my right hand and wanted to shake hands with Uncle Cheng.
Uncle Cheng didn't react, just looked at me with his viper-like eyes.
I withdrew my hand in embarrassment, apparently they didn't know what I was going to do, and I remembered that in those days the etiquette of shaking hands was probably not known to anyone, and no one had ever used it like this.
I hurriedly poured the pot full of wine for Uncle Cheng:
"Uncle Cheng, I respect you, if you will be disturbed in the future, please take care of me. ”
Uncle Cheng slowly picked up the cup, his eyes still on me, as if he wanted to see through all the secrets hidden in me.
"Girl, since you and my family Yuting are now called sisters, I just hope that you can treat her as your sister, if you have ulterior motives, I will definitely make your life worse than death. ”
Uncle Cheng's word by word, revealing a great murderous aura, my heart is beating non-stop, I don't understand why Uncle Cheng is so wary of me, but if Li Meinu was brought up by him since childhood, he should treat Li Meinu like his own daughter, so I can understand his intentions, and indeed I also hide a lot of things they don't know, but I say these words, I'm afraid that I will never be able to stay here.
I stiffened my smiling expression, boldly touched the glass with Uncle Cheng, and then tilted my head to drink the wine in the glass.
The sake at the moment is admittedly tasteless.
I know that I have no other choice at the moment, and now in my heart, the beauty Li is closer than my own sister, how can I have other purposes, I have nothing to worry about when I think of this.
Li Meinu hurriedly sat down, but at the moment she sat down, she gave Uncle Cheng a look, Uncle Cheng immediately took his eyes off me, and his expression was no longer so fierce, Li Meinu may not know that I found this slight movement, and said some topics to ease the atmosphere with a smile.
I didn't think much about it, but I had a question in my heart, but I couldn't say it, so I had to respond and drink and eat.
After this time, I rarely said anything to Uncle Cheng anymore, and when I met and said hello, I always found that he had been secretly spying on me, which made me feel very uncomfortable, but there was nothing to do.
For the next few days, I had nothing to do, I came to drink and help wipe the table, and when I was busy, I helped serve food, and Li Meinu also gave me a lot of silver taels and asked Xiaolu to go to the street to accompany me to buy some clothes and other things.
After a few days, my minor injuries were almost healed, and I gradually got used to some of the rules of life at this time, such as usually I have to go to bed just after midnight, and I have to go to bed at 9-11 o'clock at 9 o'clock, that is, I have to go to bed after 9 o'clock, and then I have to get up in the morning (now after 7 o'clock in the morning). I try not to use modern words in my speech, and in terms of grooming, due to the natural beauty instinct of women, I have completely adapted to the dress of ancient costumes, and sometimes I feel that I look good in ancient clothes, better than any clothes I have worn in my previous modern life.
Through a few days of observation, I also found that Li Meinu has absolute rights in this hotel, although the manager Li is beautiful in appearance and gentle in her speech, but in many things it can be seen that she has a potential leadership ability, everyone listens to her anything, and is happy and convinced.
With the recovery of my body, I also found that my body has many different symptoms from the past, such as always feeling unusually energetic, and there will be no tiredness every day; the strength is much greater than before, take my usual work as an example, before the plane accident, I had little strength and pitiful, and it would be very laborious to go to the supermarket to screw 5 liters of oil home, and now I help the store to move 50 pounds of a jar of liquor I don't feel easy to hug up; the bouncing ability is also super good, I feel light when I walk, Li beauties think I have practiced martial arts, but I really haven't practiced, and I can't admit to practicing, Uncle Cheng is also very suspicious of me on this point, but I have nothing to explainEven I don't know why.
Through this period of time, I have a very good relationship with Xiaolu, and I also know some of Xiaolu's situation, Xiaolu's name is Liu Silu, she has no father since she was a child, she grew up with her grandmother, and when she was 11 years old, Xiaolutong's acquaintance introduced her to a rich man as a maid, who knew that the acquaintance sold her to the traffickers, and the traffickers pulled her to Wuchang to prepare to sell to a brothel, the brothel owner had a good relationship with Li Meinu, and Li Meinu happened to be present on the day of buying Xiaolu, and saw that the girl was pitiful, and she was still one less girl, so she bought Xiaolu from the traffickers。 In the past few years, Li Meinu has always treated Xiaolu's own sister, Xiaolu is also very grateful to Li Meinu, and she has made up her mind that she will follow Li Meinu for the rest of her life no matter what.
But there are also some doubts, these days there are always strangers who come to the store with foreign accents to find Li Beauty, as soon as these people come, Boss Li and Uncle Cheng take them to a guest room, which is guarded by Ah Hu outside, and I don't know what to say inside, and every time I come and leave that night, it seems very mysterious.
