Xue Bizhu gently closed the door and walked downstairs with her skirt in hand.
Many guests on the second floor greeted Xue Bizhu with a chuckle. Xue Bizhu responded one by one and quickly ran towards the kitchen in the backyard.
Many guests looked at Xue Bizhu's exquisite back strangely.
I have come to Yuyanzhai for drinks so many times, but this is the first time I have seen the female shopkeeper look so anxious.
You must know that most of the people who come to Yuyanzhai to eat and drink are children from rich families. It is obvious what they think.
The two female shopkeepers, Xue Bizhu and Huang Lingyi, are rare beauties. I wonder how many people are staring at these two women!
Although many people know about the past lives of the two women, Xue Bizhu, not many people care about it. Although the two women were born in a brothel, they are clean and honest husbands.
Apart from chatting with the guests and playing the piano to them, my fingers were never touched, otherwise I wouldn't be able to serve as a seal official.
Besides, it’s not just about marrying a real wife. It’s rare in the world for such a beautiful and beautiful lady who is not only pleasing to the eye but also earns money to support her family.
As for those rumors, some people care and some don't.
Having said that, it’s just rumors!
Duke Dingguo has not confirmed it.
Huang Lingyi sat on the chair next to the kitchen door like a queen, with one leg raised on the chair, holding tea and gently blowing the tea leaves.
The gentle female courtesan in the past suddenly became a tomboy.
"Shopkeeper, can you taste it before serving it?"
Huang Lingyi used chopsticks to pick up a chopstick on the edge of the food, put it into her lips and tasted it.
"Okay, the heat is a bit old, please pay attention next time!"
"Okay, just take a look!"
"Lingling Lingyi, are you busy?"
Xue Bizhu gasped and held Huang Lingyi's chair!
"You're so busy. Sister Bizhu, what's going on? The sky is falling, the ground is sinking, or the old hens in the backyard are laying eggs. Take a breath and say no!"
Xue Bizhu gently caressed her plump chest and breathed a few sighs of relief: "Lingyi, if you are not busy, hurry up and cook some special dishes yourself. There are distinguished guests coming!"
Huang Lingyi looked like a manly woman, she picked out her round ears and glanced at Xue Bizhu in surprise!
"Are there not many distinguished guests here? I've never seen you so flustered? What kind of distinguished guest deserves your fuss? Your sweetheart is here?"
Xue Bizhu's pretty face turned red and she looked at Huang Lingyi with a guilty conscience: "Stop talking nonsense. Just do what you are told. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I won't deal with you!"
Huang Lingyi was startled and took a breath of cold air: "Hey, it's not that one who's back!"
"Well, I'm sitting in Zai'en Pavilion, why don't you go get busy!"
"Let me go, your sweetheart is really here. You are so anxious because you are afraid that the goddess is in love with King Xiang and has no intention of doing so!"
Huang Lingyi was teasing Xue Bizhu while wearing her blouse and washing her rough white hands in the water beside her!
Xue Bizhu crossed his hands on his chest and stared at Huang Lingyi: "Hey, I don't know who used to call that name in dreams, and was so kind and kind that he could only repay it with his own body, but now he has become more serious!
I think about it every day and dream about it at night, don’t tell anyone else!”
Huang Lingyi heated her ears and started processing the ingredients with her head sullenly.
"Why are you talking in your sleep like this? I have to seal it!"
On the third floor of Yuyanzhai, Ning Zihan looked away from the furnishings of Zai'en Pavilion in disappointment.
I originally thought that the Zai En Pavilion was filled with splendid furnishings, but it turned out to be just ordinary household furnishings.
But it can be seen that the placement of each item is unique and just right. Although it is not eye-catching, it is quite comfortable to look at!
"Master Liu, thanks to your blessing, your Excellency Zai'en, who is famous in Jinling City, finally got a glimpse of the whole situation!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Ning Zihan blankly: "Is he famous?"
"Master Liu doesn't know something."
After Ning Zihan told the origin of Zai'en Pavilion, Liu Mingzhi shook his head in confusion.
"Mr. Ning, I and Miss Xue and Miss Huang are very clear about tofu mixed with green onions. I am not a fool. How could I not see it in their eyes? It's just that the renovation of Penglai Building is due to fate. The woman in my family has already
Enough is enough, I really don’t want to provoke others anymore!”
"I would like to take the liberty of asking, sir, what do you think shopkeeper Xue's background is?"
"Absolutely not. One of my concubines was also from a brothel and they still get along very well. The main reason is that I don't have the energy to fall in love anymore. If I were ten years younger, I might actually marry them both as concubines.
, after all, it was a very honorable thing for two former oirans to talk to each other, but it can’t be done now. Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite, and they don’t want to involve too many love debts. It’s good to be friends without showing affection but politeness!”
"That's it, I understand! Your Excellency, you rescued these girls from the sea of misery. It's natural for them to love you. It's just that most of the things in the world are unsatisfactory, so it's good to be a passerby!"
Liu Mingzhi took a sip of the tea brought by the beautiful lady and nodded cheerfully: "It seems that Mr. Ning has been young too!"
"Master Liu is joking, there is no one in this world who has not been young and frivolous. It doesn't matter if you don't mention it or not. I will offer you a cup of tea instead of wine!"
"please!"
"Mr. Liu, can the young lady come in?"
Liu Mingzhi heard Xue Bizhu's voice outside the door and turned around: "Come in, you don't have to be so polite!"
The door opened and Xue Bizhu walked in carrying a clean tray with four exquisite side dishes placed on it. Two steaming wine bottles exuded a strong aroma of wine.
Definitely a good vintage wine!
Xue Bizhu placed the four plates one by one and looked at Liu Mingzhi eagerly: "There are four more hot dishes that will be ready in a moment. You can taste them first. If you are not satisfied, I will change them immediately!"
"No, no, that's good. Don't be too busy. Why don't you sit down and have something to eat together!"
Xue Bizhu bit her thin lips and nodded: "It is better for a little girl to be respectful than to obey orders!"
Liu Mingzhi's face stiffened and he laughed twice.
He was just being polite, but he didn't expect that Xue Bizhu really meant it. He said what he said and couldn't take it back!
Ning Zihan looked at Young Master Liu with his face covered. Although he was a few steps ahead of him in official positions, he was still younger after all.
How could you and a woman who has a crush on you invite you to dinner and be rejected by others?
Xue Bizhu took out a handkerchief and wiped the chopsticks several times before placing them in front of Liu Mingzhi: "Try to see if it tastes good!"
After Liu Mingzhi moved his chopsticks, Xue Bizhu realized that he had snubbed Ning Zihan, the governor of Jinling, and hurriedly took a pair of chopsticks and put them in front of Ning Zihan.
"Sir, you can use it too!"
But Ning Zihan doesn’t have the good treatment of wiping his chopsticks with a personal handkerchief!
Ning Zihan didn't mind either. This old guy saw things more clearly than anyone else. He was just a green leaf to accompany the red flowers, so how could he be so particular about it?
"Good food. I haven't eaten such delicious hometown food in several years. It's been six or seven years since I left Jinling. Although I came back during this period, I haven't stayed there permanently. Good food, you guys should eat it too!"
Xue Bizhu didn't move the chopsticks, but gently lifted the jug and poured wine for Liu Mingzhi and Liu Mingzhi.
"Thirty-year-old Nuer Hong, the wine in Xiaomei's restaurant is not as good as the wine in Mr. Liu's house, just try it briefly!"
Ning Zihan smacked his lips in confusion, what kind of wine is good if a thirty-year-old wine is not good?
"Thank you very much. You can eat too. Don't just serve me. I'm not used to it!"
"My dear sister, here's a drink to you two distinguished guests!"
"please!"
The three of them drank all the wine in their glasses. Xue Bizhu picked up the pot and poured wine again. Ning Zihan looked a little heartbroken. This meal must be a lot of flowers. The two pots of thirty-year-old daughter's red are probably only three months old.
Salary!
"Deng Deng"
There was a knock on the door and Ning Zihan's coachman's voice came from outside: "Master, there has been a murder case in the Yamen, and I need you to go back and deal with it in time!"
Ning Zihan stood up in a daze: "Master Liu, I'll give you a toast and leave, otherwise I won't be able to shoulder the responsibility for dereliction of duty!"
"There's a life case, do you want me to help?"
Ning Zihan glanced at Xue Bizhu and shook his head slightly: "Your Majesty, you handled it well, please do it first out of respect!"
Ning Zihan walked out the door in a hurry with his wine cup, leaving a somewhat confused Young Master Liu behind.
"Master Ning is really very resolute in his actions!"
"Master Ning's statement in Jinling is no worse than the previous two masters. He is also a good official who has won the hearts of the people!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Xue Bizhu with an embarrassed expression, and then realized that he was the only two people left in the room.
When a man and a woman are alone in a room, with plenty of food and wine, it is easy for misunderstandings to occur!
Liu Mingzhi sighed silently and kept his head down while eating, determined not to take the initiative to answer Xue Bizhu.
After half a stick of incense, Xue Bizhu responded to everything Liu Mingzhi said with a hmm.
Xue Bizhu is also a thoughtful person. When he sees his sweetheart looking perfunctory, he doesn't know what's going on!
He sighed silently and looked at his sweetheart with a somewhat resentful look in his eyes: "Little sister, I'm going to see how the other dishes are going. Mr. Liu, please wait a moment!"
"Good work!"
After Xue Bizhu left, Young Master Liu put down his chopsticks helplessly. Why did he agree to Ning Zihan's invitation!
It would be better to go to Dangyang Academy to pay homage to the old man, brag and chat, to avoid falling into such an embarrassing situation.
Huang Lingyi paced back and forth in the courtyard, and the manly woman turned back into the gentle and beautiful woman she once was.
Seeing Xue Bizhu coming back, he hurriedly greeted him: "How is it?"
"It tastes very good, Mr. Liu likes it very much!"
Huang Lingyi stamped her feet in shame and anger: "You know that's not the question I asked!"
Xue Bizhu's bright eyes were a little sad, and she laughed twice!
"You and I, two sisters, were born in a brothel. Mr. Liu is a noble prince of the country. Do you and I still want to fly on a branch and become a phoenix? Which one is better as an oiran, or is it better to compete with the female shopkeeper!"
"We are from the right family, but we are from the wrong family, and we are from the wrong family. We sisters can just keep guarding the Yuyanzhai obediently, and stop having unrealistic dreams!"
"It's not because of his identity that we want to follow him, it's because he gave us a new life."
Huang Lingyi's pretty face darkened as he spoke: "I was also born in the Qinhuai River, grew up in the Qinhuai River, and this one is in the Qinhuai River!"
Xue Bizhu hesitated to speak: "Don't think so much, go cook! Didn't we already know what will happen now? There is nothing to regret!"
Huang Lingyi didn't answer, sighed, turned around and got busy in the kitchen!
