Chapter 39: Escape beforehand
Soon, under the leadership of the little maid, Li Miao arrived at the third floor of Bishui Pavilion.
Then, I saw Chen Yuqing, the owner of Bishui Pavilion. Looking at her, she seemed to be waiting for him.
However, there is a well-behaved maid standing next to her and a little further back. The maid is holding a tray in her hand.
"Master Li."
Seeing Li Miao, Chen Yuqing took the initiative to greet him and made a slight compilation.
"Boss Chen."
Li Miao slightly cupped her hands and returned a salute.
Chen Yuqing smiled and said: "Master Li is really a great talent. He has composed four such amazing poems in a short period of time. I believe that after today, your name, Master Li, will spread throughout the capital."
Li Miao said modestly: "Boss Chen is really overly praised. I just have better luck."
"Haha... Mr. Li is very humble."
Chen Yuqing chuckled, then reached out and took out two silver notes from the tray in the hands of the obedient maid next to her, with face values of one thousand taels and five hundred taels respectively, and a purple wooden sign.

"Mr. Li, these are some thoughts of our Bishui Pavilion. I hope Mr. Li won't dislike them."
Li Miao knew that these were the rewards for the first and second place in this poetry competition, so he accepted them without politeness. When his eyes fell on the purple wooden sign, he asked doubtfully: "Boss Chen
,This is?"
Chen Yuqing explained with a smile: "This is a token unique to our Bishui Pavilion. We will issue such a token to every talent selected into the ten poems. Everything in our Bishui Pavilion holding this token will
Consumption is free."
Hearing this, Li Miao was really surprised.
You know, the consumption of high-end places like Bishui Pavilion is not low.
"That's it, thank you very much."
After seeing Li Miao accept it, Chen Yuqing apologized and said: "Master Li, I still have some matters that need to be dealt with immediately. I apologize that I can no longer accompany Master Li."
Li Miao quickly said it had nothing to do with it.
After Chen Yuqing left with the obedient maid, she took Li Miao to the maid on the third floor and said to Li Miao: "Master Li, let me take you to see my young lady now."
Li Miao was stunned and asked doubtfully: "Who is your young lady?"
The maid smiled sweetly and said: "Master Li, my lady's name is Qingluan."
Qingluan, one of the two top brands of Bishui Pavilion.
What Li Miao just learned from Ji Gang was...
"Why does your young lady want to see me?"
But the little maid shook her head: "Mr. Li, I don't know the specific reason why the young lady is looking for you. She just wants to invite you to go to her room, Mr. Li. There are only two of you, the young lady and Mr. Li."
Ah...this...
A man and a woman are alone in the same room, and they are still in such a place. You don’t need to think too much to know what will happen next, right?
Thinking of Qingluan's delicate face and graceful figure, Li Miao's heart skipped a beat, and she almost responded.
Quickly shaking his head to drive the dirty image out of his mind, Li Miao said to the maid: "Tell your lady, thank you very much for her kindness. I have some urgent matters and need to go home immediately. I'm really sorry." p>
After saying that, without waiting for the little maid's reaction, she turned around and left.
The little maid looked blank and at a loss.
In the room on the other side, Qingluan, who was dressed very exquisitely, came to a table with a lyre in his arms and put it on it.
The two leading names of Bishui Pavilion, Hongyu is good at dancing, and Qingluan is good at piano skills.
Then, he sat in front of another table, facing the door. There was hot, freshly brewed tea on the table.
Quietly waiting for Li Miao's arrival.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door, followed closely by the voice of the maid next to her.
After Qingluan quickly corrected his sitting posture, he faced the door of the room and said, "Come in."
So, the little maid opened the door and walked in, but she didn't see the figure she wanted to see.
Qingluan asked the maid disrespectfully and doubtfully: "Where is Mr. Li?"
The maid explained: "Miss, Mr. Li asked me to apologize to you. He said he had urgent matters and needed to go home immediately."
With such an obvious excuse, she made it clear that she didn't want to see her at all. It's a shame that she made all the preparations for this.
Thinking of this, Qingluan's face looked a little uncomfortable.
This is the first time she has been rejected, and her music is not easy to hear.
......
Li Miao didn't know that he had offended a certain woman. After finally breaking away from the entanglement of those talented men, he quickly left the Bishui Pavilion with the bun-faced maid as if fleeing, leaving Ji Gang and Zhang Feng behind. Friends.
At this time, the sun has almost set, and the remaining faint afterglow shines on the entire capital, making the shadows of things very long. Most of the pedestrians on the street are in a hurry, trying to take advantage of the Get home before it gets dark.
"Master Li, you are so awesome today."
The bun-faced maid looked at Li Miao with admiration. Although she didn't know much about poetry and couldn't tell whether it was good or bad, she could clearly see the reactions of the people next to her.
Li Miao just smiled and said nothing.
Then, his eyes scanned around.
Regarding this, the bun-faced maid couldn't help but feel confused and asked: "Master Li, what are you looking for?"
Li Miao explained: "I was a little hungry. When I got back, it was already getting late, so it was not suitable for me to cook by myself. So, I wanted to find something to eat and take it back."
His words were not false. Although Bishui Pavilion provided a lot of high-end pastries today, he did not keep stuffing them into his mouth like the steamed-faced maid. He just ate a little bit and was not full.
.
So, he decided to buy the portion for two people.
"Oops!"
The bun-faced maid suddenly screamed.
Li Miao was startled by her surprise: "What's wrong?"
The bun-faced maid said in panic: "Master Li, if you don't cook tonight, what will the lady want to eat tonight?"
During this period of time, every day around dusk, the steamed bun-faced maid would appear at Li Miao's courtyard on time with fresh ingredients, and then she and Zhe Xinyi would have dinner at Li Miao's place, without the need for the senior chefs in Zhe Mansion to
Prepare dinner for Zhe Xinyi.
Li Miao looked at her and said speechlessly: "You stupid maid, can't you buy something that your lady likes to eat outside and bring it back to your lady?"
"Oh! Yes!"
The bun-faced maid realized it later, and then, with her hands on her small waist, she glared at Li Miao menacingly: "Master Li, who did you call the stupid maid just now? She is not stupid, she just didn't think of it for a moment.
That’s all.”
Li Miao quickly said: "Okay, okay, you are not stupid, you are very smart. Now hurry up and think about what to buy for your lady. If you wait any longer, your lady will probably croak from hunger."
p>
"Miss, she won't croak with hunger."
The bun-faced maid pouted in dissatisfaction, and then looked around, looking for something suitable to bring back to the lady.
However, in a short period of time, she didn't know what food to choose. She could only look at Li Miao and asked: "Master Li, what food do you want to bring back?"
"Well...just bring two portions of noodles back."
