Liu Mingzhi's shouts made the guests who were staring at Xue Bizhu's beautiful figure come back to their senses, and looked at Mr. Liu in surprise, who was holding up a book to sell.
The enchanting figure of Xue Bizhu entering the restaurant allowed them to directly confirm that Xue Bizhu was the shopkeeper Xue, one of the two beauties of the restaurant.
Looking at Mr. Liu, his eyes were filled with envy and curiosity.
Looking around the capital, we can see how many high-ranking officials and wealthy young men are staring at the two famous restaurant Xi Shis, hoping that one day they can bring the beauties back home, but in the end they all died in vain.
Who would have thought that such a beautiful lady would end up taking advantage of a bookseller who made a living by running a stall.
Although the business is good and they earn a lot of money, the two Xishis also make a lot of money every year when they open a restaurant. It may not be any worse than the owner's family background.
Perhaps even slightly richer.
Many guests who knew Xue Bizhu's identity were lining up silently while secretly sighing at the sight of a flower stuck in cow dung.
Perhaps because of the herd mentality that loves to watch the excitement, the number of customers gathered in front of Liu Dashao's bookstall is not less, but more and more, which indirectly increases the passenger flow of Penglai Restaurant next to it.
Some people who knew the details of the bookstall and had a lot of money were really unwilling to line up in the bright sun, so they spent some money to hire some peddlers to help them line up, while they hid in the restaurant to drink and chat.
The content of the conversation is naturally closely related to the content in Liu Mingzhi’s book.
The sun sets over the western mountains and the sky is filled with haze.
Some people who got the news late and didn't buy the books, after getting Young Master Liu's promise to come to set up a stall tomorrow, could only sigh pitifully and watch as Young Master Liu hugged a wooden box over a foot high. Hey, hey, hey.
He walked towards Penglai Restaurant.
“Brother, how about giving me a copy? Anyway, the boss will come tomorrow, and you won’t be able to read a few books in one night!”
Many smart-minded people smiled and gathered around those who bought the books, and even though they didn't know each other, they started calling each other brothers and sisters.
His words woke up the dreamer, and most people reacted and surrounded the person with the bulging arms.
On the street under the sunset, a large number of two people who did not know each other appeared in a strange scene, but they instantly put their arms around each other and talked and laughed together.
As night falls, the lights in the boudoir on the second floor of Penglai Restaurant are still flickering.
Huang Lingyi’s crisp and exciting words echoed in the boudoir.
“That’s more than twelve thousand three hundred taels in total! When did money become so easy to earn?”
Liu Dashao, who was drinking tea, turned his eyes and glanced at Huang Lingyi, who was holding a banknote in his hand and stepping on a box of silver ingots, and smiled happily.
“So much?”
Huang Lingyi nodded blankly: "I've counted it three times, it's really more than 10,000 taels of silver.
Since when did you make so much money selling books? If so, why would I and my sister open a restaurant? We might as well accompany my husband and sell books together.
Husband, the money you earn in one day is almost as much as our sisters’ income in a few months.”
“No, Lingyi, please don’t even think about this. My husband’s business will only get worse in the future, and it’s impossible to sell for so much money every day.
Reading does not happen every day with meals and drinks. A book can be read for a long time. Guests who are smart can pass the books they do not have to each other in private.
From now on, it will be good if we can sell dozens of copies every day.
Unless there is more follow-up content, then we can make as much money as we did today.”
Huang Lingyi's excited eyes suddenly lost sight, and she nodded helplessly: "That's right, books can't be eaten, so I'd better just run the restaurant with my sister honestly.
By the way, husband, which classics are you selling? The business is so booming, are they books related to next year's autumn?"
Young Master Liu narrowed his eyes and smiled at the wooden box in the corner: "I have compiled some books myself. If you are curious, you can read them yourself!"
Huang Lingyi put down the banknotes in his hand and walked towards the big box containing books in the corner with a curious expression.
A moment later, a sharp scream resounded through the restaurant. Huang Lingyi's pretty face was red, she gave Young Master Liu a sweet and angry look, covered her cheeks and trotted towards the screen.
“Shameless! Dirty!”
Xue Bizhu pushed the door open and walked in with a copper basin for washing, looking at Young Master Liu in surprise.
“Husband, are you bullying Lingyi? Why is she screaming?”
Young Master Liu pointed at himself, who was sitting on a chair, sipping tea, and shrugged helplessly, indicating that he was wronged.
Xue Bizhu glanced behind the screen without knowing why, and placed the copper basin in front of Liu Mingzhi.
“Husband, soak your feet to relieve your fatigue!”
“Okay, thank you for your hard work.”
Xue Bizhu smiled sweetly and reached out to take off Liu Mingzhi's shoes and socks: "It's not hard, it's all my duty."
The moon is rising high and the night is quiet.
After about half an hour of singing and singing on the second floor of Penglai Restaurant, the crowd gradually calmed down.
The next day, around three o'clock in the morning, Mr. Liu started his book-selling career again.
The days passed by like this day by day.
How prosperous the business of the bookstall is, how enthusiastic it is for Young Master Liu to be greeted by his eighteenth generation ancestors.
Compared to Li Buyi's reserved words, those readers who suddenly stopped following the story at the critical moment can be said to be excited and crying to greet Mr. Liu's ancestors.
Even more, many temperamental people came to the bookstall the next day with swords in hand and threatened Young Master Liu to hand over the subsequent chapters, otherwise they would definitely fight to the death with Young Master Liu on the spot.
A few months passed in the blink of an eye, and Mr. Liu completely forgot about the three-part agreement he had made with the officials.
The days of the imperial court are getting fewer and fewer each month, and in the end they are numbered.
And next to Penglai Restaurant, there is a book seller who is loved and hated by teenagers, young people and middle-aged people in the capital.
Obviously hate gritting teeth, but when he learned that Liu Dashao had released a new chapter, the bookstone was still crowded in front of the bookstone.
“Liu Song, get a book for the guest!”
In the bitter cold of winter, Liu Song, who was holding a book but blushing while reading, heard Young Master Liu's words and reluctantly threw the book down. He stood up to greet several young men with wretched looks and came in big cloaks and walked towards the bookstall.
passed.
“Guest, what book are you bringing today?”
On the other hand, Young Master Liu was sitting on a small bench wrapped in a big cloak. He held a green-white jade hand in his big hand, stroking it gently while looking at it carefully.
After a moment, Young Master Liu looked at the opposite lady with a smile, wearing a light yellow cloak, an exquisite feathered shirt and an embroidered skirt, and a beautiful face with a Xiaojiabiyu temperament, and raised his eyebrows a few times.
“Sister, your palmistry is not very good, isn’t it? There is something very important missing in your life.”
With Young Master Liu holding her palm, the pretty lady with a blushing face suddenly became nervous after hearing Young Master Liu's words: "Sir, don't scare the little girl. What does the little girl lack in her life? Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
?”
Liu Mingzhi pursed his lips and shook his head, gently clasped the little beauty's palm and smiled: "Sister, you are missing me in your life!"
“You are missing in your destiny? How come you haven’t heard that there is also a... bah... libertine in your destiny?"
The Erba beauty instinctively responded to Young Master Liu's words, and suddenly reacted. She secretly spat with blushing cheeks, and hurriedly pulled back the palm that Young Master Liu had grasped.
Looking at the vertical banner behind Young Master Liu, which clearly stated everything in the world, I know my fortune and misfortune, the beauty with her watery eyes rolled her eyes at Young Master Liu.
“Can you tell fortunes?”
“Of course I will, Mr. Ben...Didn’t Shanren forget it just now? Sister, you are missing me in your destiny.
How about it, my brother will invite you to go out to the city to enjoy the moon at night?"
“You——shameless!”
“How do you say this? My brother’s teeth are twice as good. If you don’t believe me, just take a look!
How about we go out to the lake and admire the moon together in the evening? Brother, let me tell you a story."
The beautiful lady stood up in a hurry, stamped her lotus feet and covered her cheeks and ran towards the street: "Charlatan, I will ignore you!"
“Hey! Hey! Hey! Sister, you gave me the fortune-telling money after all!
Alas! The world is deteriorating and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be. So much talk is wasted."
Young Master Liu, who was about to bring tea to moisten his throat, felt a darkness in front of him, and subconsciously looked up, only to see that the beautiful lady Erba who had just trotted away had actually left and returned.
The beauty looked around with her big watery eyes, her green and white jade fingers tightly intertwined, and she looked at Young Master Liu with bright red cheeks.
“What...what time?”
Young Master Liu was stunned and looked at the shy beauty in confusion: "Ah? What time?"
The beautiful lady Erba gave Young Master Liu an angry look and said, "Tour the lake...please enjoy the moon on the lake!
Aren’t you going to invite me to swim in the lake and admire the moon?
The little girl’s maiden name is Xue Xintong. She lives in Xue Mansion, House No. 28, Baihu Street, inner city. Don’t make a mistake. When will you go to the back door of Xue Mansion to wait for me?
I can ask the maid to help me watch the guards slip out."
“Hiss...Uh...what time! What time! What time!”
Mr. Liu’s face was tangled with his chin clasped, and he still couldn’t figure out the reason.
Xue Xintong looked around shyly, feeling like everyone was secretly watching her every move.
He stamped his lotus feet hastily and looked at Young Master Liu anxiously: "Speak quickly! It won't be good if someone you know sees me."
“Well! It’s this hour! It’s this hour! How about I go home and ask my wife when she will let me come out and give you an answer?”
Xue Xintong's shy pretty face suddenly froze, and her lips twitched as she looked at Young Master Liu: "You...you already have a family?"
“My brother is so old, it’s not normal to have a family...”
With a splash of water, Xue Xintong dropped the tea cup in her hand on the small table with the Bagua tablecloth painted on it, glared at Mr. Liu fiercely, snorted and turned around to leave.
“You libertine! You are shameless! Despicable! You are a stinking scoundrel.”
Young Master Liu raised his hand and wiped the tea from his face, clicking his tongue and looking at Xue Xintong's retreating figure.
“It tastes good, what a pity!”
Pouring another cup of tea and putting it in his mouth, Young Master Liu smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Shameless, that's an understatement. This young master has indeed gone too far. It's just a small amount of money. How can I flirt with you if you don't want to marry me?"
“Da Guoguo, how about helping my little sister do some divination? You can also figure out what my little sister is missing in her life!”
