After Young Master Liu finished humming a short piece of opera, Qi Ya looked at Young Master Liu curiously.
"Husband, the opera you sing seems to be the singing style of the Central Plains?"
Young Master Liu chuckled and looked at Qi Ya, who looked curious, and nodded happily.
"Sister Ya, did you hear it?"
Qi Ya nodded first, then shook her head.
"Husband, I only heard the singing method, but I didn't hear the name of the opera?
In my impression, it seems that among the operas of the Central Plains, the piece that your husband just sang does not exist."
Young Master Liu smiled and patted the beautiful lady's shoulder, then strode out of the somewhat dim city gate.
"Sister Hao Ya, this is the lyrics and music I wrote for my husband in my spare time. There is no such piece in the theater outside. It would be strange if you heard it."
Qi Ya's pretty face was stunned, and her beautiful eyes stared at Young Master Liu in amazement as she looked up and down.
"Husband, you are the only one who also writes lyrics and music? Are you true?
I’ve been sleeping with you for so many years, how come I didn’t know you still had this ability?”
Young Master Liu glanced at the pretty and surprised beauty, looked at a vendor in front of him who was carrying candied haws of sugar, and with a slight smile on his lips, he closed the Wanli Jiangshan jaded fan and put it into his sleeves.
"Sister Hao Ya, you don't know much about what a husband is capable of."
"Oh? Husband, please tell me, apart from your ability to write opera lyrics, what other skills do you have that I don't know about?"
Young Master Liu looked at the people coming and going on both sides, smiled and leaned close to the beautiful lady's round earlobe, and murmured softly.
When Qi Ya heard her husband's teasing words about boudoir fun, her pretty face couldn't help but have a faint blush.
She immediately took a deep breath and calmed down her shy mood.
Young Master Liu straightened up with a smile, looked at the beauty with a serious face and blinked his eyes several times.
"Sister Hao Ya, what do you think? You still don't know these abilities of your husband, do you?
Now that you are free, I will let you see what I have to offer."
Qi Ya's beautiful eyes gave Young Master Liu an angry look, and Fangxin whispered shyly.
"Bah, that's not serious.
People in public know nonsense, do you think we are at home?"
Listening to the beauty's coquettish tone, Mr. Liu smiled lightly and waved to the candied haws vendor who was almost walking in front of him.
"Brother, come here."
The young man carrying the candied haws on his shoulders heard Mr. Liu's greeting and immediately came over to Mr. Liu and his wife with a smile on his face.
The young man stopped and immediately placed the candied haws on his shoulder on the ground. He smiled and nodded to the couple.
"Sir, Madam, do you want to buy candied haws on a stick?"
Young Master Liu smiled and nodded, then moved around the candied haws stick in front of him.
"Young man."
"Hey, sir, tell me."
"How many skewers of candied haws do you have left on this?"
The young man's face was stunned, and he immediately answered honestly.
"Sir, I probably have about eighty or ninety skewers left."
"How much does it cost?"
"Four cents per string. Sir, if you want a few more strings, I will give you three cents per string."
Mr. Liu nodded slightly, raised his hand and pulled out a bunch of candied haws, and handed it to Qi Ya with a smile.
"Sister Ya, try how it tastes."
Qi Ya's pretty face was startled, and she subconsciously pushed out the candied haws handed to her by her husband.
"Husband, I am already so old. I am embarrassed to eat it in full view of everyone."
Young Master Liu shook his head angrily, reached out and grabbed the beautiful lady's wrist, and directly stuffed the candied haws in his hand into the beautiful lady's delicate hand.
“Sister Hao Ya, who stipulates that older people can’t eat candied haws?
Candied haws on ice is just a snack on the street, what does it have to do with age?"
When the young man heard what Mr. Liu said, he quickly nodded in agreement.
"Madam, sir, you are right. Who stipulates that older people cannot eat candied haws?
Just now, when I was on Changshun Street, there was an old man in his fifties or sixties who bought a bunch of candied haws from a villain and ate them!"
Qi Ya walked to Young Master Liu and stretched out her hand to tug his sleeve.
"Husband, it's not convenient for me to eat it on the street. I'll eat it after we get home.
It’s not that I’m being pretentious, but if you look at what I’m wearing now, is it convenient?”
Young Master Liu looked at Qi Ya's silk gauze dress and brocade tassel skirt, and suddenly nodded in enlightenment.
"That's right. Sister Ya, with the way you are dressed now, it is really inappropriate to stand on the street eating candied haws."
Qi Ya gently turned the candied haws in her hand, raised her head and pursed her lips in the direction of Liu Mansion.
"Husband, why don't you quickly pay this little brother the money?"
"No hurry, no rush."
"Bro."
"Hey, sir, tell me."
"I've packed all your candied haws, but you have to help me deliver them home."
The young man's face was stunned, and he asked subconsciously: "What? Sir, do you want to cover everything?"
"What? Brother, don't you want to sell it?"
The young man shook his head hastily and immediately put all the candied haws on his shoulders again.
"Sell, sell, sell, of course.
The villain goes out to wander the streets just to sell more candied haws.
Sir, you bought everything for the villain at once. It was too late for the villain to be happy, so how could he not sell it?"
Young Master Liu took out a piece of broken silver from his wallet and handed it to the young man with a chuckle.
"Brother, is this piece of silver enough? If not, I will give you another copper plate."
"That's a lot more, sir. I'll give you change after the villain delivers the candied haws to your house."
"No need to look for it, the rest is yours."
"Then I would like to thank you sir."
Young Master Liu took out the jade fan from his sleeves and flicked it gently, then waved his hand to Qi Ya with a faint smile.
"Sister Ya, I'm home."
"Hey, here we come."
"Brother, just follow us."
"Yes, yes, sir, madam, you two invite me first, and I will follow you."
Mr. Liu nodded slightly and walked forward happily.
"Husband, why did you buy so many candied haws at once?"
“There are many children in the family, so buying more and saving is not enough.”
"Husband, no matter how many children we have in our family, we can't eat eighty or ninety skewers of candied haws at once."
"If there are still servants and maids, the rest will be divided directly among them, okay?"
"That's true, then just buy them all."
