After listening to Ganoderma's words, Liu Mingzhi immediately understood.
Since last time, Mother Han has not allowed Lingzhi and her sisters to receive other guests.
This is obviously a good sign to yourself!
Although Lingzhi and his sisters only accompanied him once, there was no such thing as a romantic marriage.
However, who makes his identity too special?
As long as Mother Han has no problem with her mind, she will not dare to let the girls who accompany her receive other men.
After all, Mother Han didn't know which day she would suddenly come to Tianxiang Tower to drink and have fun on a whim.
Liu Mingzhi looked at the beauty in his arms with a faint smile, pinched the beauty's nose with his fingers and gently twisted it a few times.
"Ganoderma lucidum, it seems like it's a lifetime ago. Isn't it a bit exaggerated to say it.
I haven’t come to Tianxiang Tower to drink here for just over a year, young master. Why do you say that it makes it seem like we haven’t seen each other for more than ten years?”
Ganoderma frowned slightly with a resentful expression, raised her jade hand and brought the freshly peeled dried fruit to Young Master Liu's mouth.
"Sir, you are still a scholar! Don't you understand what it means that one day's absence is like three autumns?"
Liu Mingzhi ate the dried fruit from the beauty's fingers and nodded with a smile.
"If you go by what you said, Lingzhi, it really feels like a world away.
If that's the case, why didn't you recognize me at first glance when we were in the hall downstairs just now?
You know, this young master, I only recalled it briefly, and then I remembered your identity, Lingzhi."
Lingzhi stood up and left Young Master Liu's arms, carrying the pot and pouring two cups of fragrant tea.
"Sir, can you blame my little sister?
You should also remember that when my little sister played Guangling San for you, there were two layers of light clouds between us!
In this case, how can my little sister clearly see your appearance, sir?"
Liu Mingzhi reached out and took the tea from the beautiful lady, chuckled and turned to look at the two layers of clouds in the room.
"That's true."
Lingzhi followed Young Master Liu's gaze and glanced at the cloud yarn in her boudoir, and then walked lightly towards the window on the side.
"Sir, how about you open the window a little and let the breeze blow in?"
"What? Lingzhi, are you planning to let me relive the original scene?"
"Yeah, sir, sir, he guessed my little sister's thoughts right away."
Liu Mingzhi glanced at the stove next to him, chuckled and said, "As long as you're not afraid of the cold, you can open it if you want."
Lingzhi was so happy that she immediately opened the window in front of her halfway.
The moment the window was opened, a gust of cold wind immediately blew into the beauty's boudoir.
For a moment, the layers of flimsy cloud gauze curtains in Ganoderma boudoir began to sway gently with the breeze that came in through the window.
Liu Mingzhi looked at the clouds dancing in the wind in front of him, his eyes narrowed and he smiled.
"Well, it does feel a bit like the past.
It’s just that the breeze in winter is a little colder than the breeze in early summer.”
Ganoderma lucidum walked back to Young Master Liu's side with gentle steps, and sat down next to Young Master Liu with a smile.
"Sir, if you feel cold, my little sister will go to the closet and get you some thick clothes."
Listening to the beautiful woman's caring words, Mr. Liu chuckled and took off his cloak, casually placing it on the stool beside him.
"It's not cold, it's just a sigh."
"Hey, little sister understands."
Ganoderma Tan opened her mouth slightly and took a sip of the tea in her cup, twirling the cup in her hand with her fingers.
"Later, after the younger sister finished playing a song, she and the other sisters sat next to her husband to accompany him.
However, before the younger sisters entered the room, Mother Han solemnly explained the matter to us.
She told us sisters that after arriving in the room, we only need to pour wine for you, sir, and accompany you.
Don't look at what you shouldn't see, and don't listen to what you shouldn't hear.
Don't say anything you shouldn't say.
When my little sister received her husband, it was her first time receiving a guest.
Therefore, the little girl was extremely nervous at that time.
When my little sister is sitting next to you, sir, she doesn't dare to look around at all.
If I hadn't been sitting closest to you, sir, I could have seen your face while drinking with you.
I'm afraid, my little sister has already completely forgotten what you look like, sir."
After Liu Mingzhi heard the beautiful woman's somewhat sad words, he gently touched the tip of her nose with his finger.
"Hehehe, so that's it."
Ganoderma's eyes were full of resentment and she nodded her head several times, then reached out and put the peeled dried fruit into Young Master Liu's hand.
"So, sir, do you still think it's my fault that I didn't recognize you right away?"
Seeing the resentful look in the beauty's beautiful eyes, Liu Mingzhi laughed bitterly.
Just when Young Master Liu was about to say something.
Outside the beauty's boudoir, Mother Han's nervous voice suddenly sounded.
"Master Liu, is it convenient for the slave family to come in?"
"It's convenient, come in."
The door opened in response.
After Mother Han closed the door with a smile on her face, she immediately walked towards Young Master Liu quickly.
"Hey, Mr. Liu, it's a rare visitor, such a rare visitor.
No wonder the magpies were chirping outside the slave's window in the early morning.
The slave family was wondering before, what big happy event is about to happen?
Now I finally know, it’s Mr. Liu who came to Tianxiang Tower."
Liu Mingzhi listened to Mother Han's complimentary words and happily threw the dried fruit in his hand into his mouth.
"Mother Han, you are so good at talking. It would be too unfair not to sing in a theater."
"Oh, Mr. Liu, you are joking. How can the slave family have such ability?"
"Sit down, sit down and talk."
Mother Han hurriedly pulled up a chair and sat down diagonally across from Young Master Liu with a smile on her face.
"Master Liu, you haven't been a guest in our Tianxiang House for a long time.
What kind of wind is this that brings you, this distinguished guest, to our Tianxiang Tower today?"
Liu Mingzhi spit the fruit shell into the bamboo basket under the table and happily picked up his tea cup.
"Hahaha, of course it was the gust of wind that Mr. Zhu Hou invited!
Otherwise, I, the young master, would be reluctant to come to your place as a guest, Mother Han."
Mother Han looked stunned and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Liu, you are still the same as before, you know how to joke with the slaves."
Young Master Liu casually crossed his legs and leaned on the chair behind him with a sad expression.
"Oh, Mother Han, everything I said is true, why don't you believe it?"
"Master Liu, it's not that the slave family doesn't believe it, it's that the slave family can't believe it.
Mr. Liu, what kind of status do you have? You only have three acres of land like Tianxiang Tower.
You, Mr. Liu, are just here as a guest every day, so what does that mean?
Moreover."
"Well, what's the matter?"
Mother Han stood up slightly, and with a smile, she pushed the trays containing pastries, candied fruits, and dried fruits and snacks on the table one by one in front of Young Master Liu.
"Master Liu, you took great care of our Tianxiang Tower back then.
For the Nu family, you being able to come to Tianxiang Tower as a guest is a great thing that makes our Tianxiang Tower shine.
In this case, how can I have the nerve to ask you for money?"
Mother Han’s words are absolutely sincere and come from the bottom of her heart.
For me, if Master Liu could come to Tianxiang Tower as a guest from time to time.
Don't call yourself the cashier, there is no problem if you let yourself pay money.
It’s just that the other people in Tianxiang Tower don’t know the identity of the person in front of him.
But after having dealt with Young Master Liu for so many years, how could I still not know his identity?
Master Liu, if you have anything to do, please come and be a guest.
For Tianxiang Tower, it is simply the largest amulet in the world!
It can be said that as long as he doesn't lead the girls in the building to do anything treacherous.
Looking at the entire capital, no one dares to do anything to Tianxiang Tower, whether it is a high-ranking official or a dignitary awarded by the imperial court.
Looking at Mother Han's expression full of compliments, Liu Mingzhi couldn't tell what was going on in her mind.
"Mother Han."
"Master Liu, tell me."
"Mother Han, since this young master has been promoted, his life has indeed become a little more tense.
Then, no matter how tense my daily life is, I can still afford some drinks."
Hearing Young Master Liu's words, Mother Han's eyes suddenly showed a hint of disappointment.
In the capital, she was able to make Tianxiang Tower a prosperous business, so she was certainly not a fool.
As soon as Mr. Liu said his words, she already understood the deep meaning.
We are both smart people, so there is no need to explain some things too clearly.
Once some things are explained too clearly, the friendship accumulated in the past will gradually fade away.
Mother Han naturally does not want to see such a thing happen.
"Master Liu, I have no other intentions. I just want to express my feelings."
"Hehehe, I understand."
While Young Master Liu was speaking, Lingzhi noticed that something seemed wrong in the atmosphere in the room. He immediately stood up, picked up the pot, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Mother Han with a smile.
"Mother Han, drink tea."
"Okay, okay, Lingzhi, you have your heart. It's not in vain that I love you sisters so much."
"Mother Han."
"Hehehe, sit down, sit down."
"Why."
Mother Han breathed a sigh of relief and gestured to Young Master Liu while holding the tea cup.
"Master Liu, we haven't seen each other for so long.
According to the rules, I should offer you three glasses of wine first.
Unfortunately, the drinks are still being prepared and have not been served yet.
Therefore, I have no choice but to offer you a cup of tea instead of wine."
Liu Mingzhi raised his eyebrows, chuckled, picked up the wine glass, and silently brought the tea cup to his mouth.
"cheers."
"The slave family does it first as a courtesy."
Young Master Liu and Mother Han had just put down the teacups when Lingzhi quickly stood up and picked up the teapot.
"Sir, my little sister will pour you some tea."
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly, reached out and grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and looked at Mother Han with a faint smile.
"Mother Han."
"Hey, the slave family is here."
"Tianxiang Tower is one of the most famous places in the capital!"
"False fame, false fame, all the guests are here to support me."
"Mother Han, you are so humble."
"Oh, Mr. Liu, how dare I be so humble in front of you?"
"Mother Han, it doesn't matter whether it's a restaurant or a brothel.
There are some differences when you talk about it, but when you argue it carefully, there is not much difference."
When Mother Han heard what Young Master Liu said, she nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, Young Master Liu is absolutely right.
If we really talk about it in detail, there really isn’t much difference between restaurants and brothels.
After all, it's all about making money.
It’s just that there are some differences in the way of making money.”
Liu Mingzhi glanced at Ganoderma lucidum with a complicated expression, and silently threw the melon seed shells in his hands into the bamboo basket under the table.
"Mother Han."
"Master Liu?"
"Run it well. As long as you don't dare to do anything that violates Dalong's laws, even Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment will not do anything to you."
When Mother Han heard what Young Master Liu said, she immediately looked happy and stood up quickly.
"The slave family understands, the slave family understands."
Ganoderma picked up a pastry and put it in Young Master Liu's hand: "Sir, don't just drink tea, try the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that was just made today."
Liu Mingzhi took the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, smiled lightly and patted the back of the beauty's hand.
"Don't just worry about me, you can eat it yourself."
Lingzhi nodded with a smile and said softly, "Yeah, yeah, little sister, I understand."
"Mother Han."
"The slave family is here."
"If something happens where a girl is forced into prostitution, then this young master..."
"Master Liu, don't worry.
What happened in other brothels is unknown to the slave family, but they also know it.
But the slave family can guarantee that in Tianxiang Tower, no girls will be forced into prostitution.
Once it happens, I don’t need you to say anything, Master Liu, I will just go to you, Master Liu, to apologize."
Young Master Liu looked at Mother Han's solemn expression and raised his tea cup with a chuckle.
"Tea instead of wine, cheers."
"I'd like to give you a drink."
Just as Young Master Liu put down his teacup, there was another knock on the door outside Lingzhi's boudoir.
"Mother Han, I've brought the food and wine."
Mother Han glanced back at the door behind her, then looked towards Young Master Liu with a faint smile.
"Master Liu?"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Mother Han's questioning eyes, chewed the tea leaves in his mouth gently, smiled and nodded.
"Let them send it in."
"Why."
"Send it in."
"I obey, little one."
The door opened in response, and two servants each walked into Lingzhi's boudoir carrying a tray.
"Mother Han."
"Hurry up and put the food and wine on the table."
"Yes, I will obey, little one."
Mother Han was the first to bring up a bottle of wine, and filled a glass of wine for Young Master Liu with a smile.
"Master Liu, I'm short of time. I'd like to have a glass of wine. I hope you don't mind."
