"Go to the medical center." Lian Beichuan muttered with his eyebrows raised, as if Gu Qingdai had been seriously injured.
She just bumped her forehead and it turned a little blue at most. What kind of medical center did she go to?
The old doctor gave her the medicinal wine for bruises last time, but there was still more than half a bottle left that was useless.
Gu Qingdai crossed her arms to block him, "No, no, no, I'm fine. Send me back to the teahouse quickly, there's a lot of work waiting for me!"
"As a teahouse owner, you are busier than my young boss in a trading company."
Lian Beichuan still stared at her forehead, holding his palm in the air for a long time, not daring to touch it again, and finally took it back silently.
Gu Qingdai leaned back on the chair, "I can't compare to you, even the second master. The people in my little temple don't have much to do, so I have to do everything myself."
Lian Beichuan restarted the car, but this time the speed was much slower.
Gu Qingdai saw a rickshaw speeding past their car.
"Can you do it or not?"
Gu Qingdai would rather have a tit-for-tat quarrel with Lian Beichuan than tolerate his current behavior.
Lian Beichuan ignored her and only sped up a little.
"Where did you talk about just now? Yes, Qin Liuer is on stage every day, even during the Chinese New Year. You can come and listen to music anytime you want."
"It's not that I want to hear it, it's that they want to hear it!"
"Isn't it all the same thing?"
"The modern dance is not what I want to dance! At the end of the year, the business is closing accounts and taking inventory. The business is so busy that my feet hit the back of my head. Is it easy for me to take time out to do it?"
If he hadn't been sure that Gu Qingdai would go to Lu Minghe's homecoming party, why would Lian Beichuan rush to the Lu family in such a hurry?
He knew that Lu Mingze had impure intentions towards her, and that he was entangled with Lu Minglan, so he was already filled with anger!
"Who forced you to go to the Lu family? It's not even the second master who wanted to go."
Gu Qingdai tightened her cloak again, feeling that the mink fur of this big cloak was too warm. When she had spare money in the future, she would have to buy one.
Even Beichuan was almost injured internally by her, "Shopkeeper Gu is right, I just went to Lan Lan, and she came to our house to see Zhenzhen a while ago."
"Lian and the Lu family are well matched, and the second master Lian and Miss Lu are both talented and beautiful. When the day you two get married, I will go to the house to get a wedding drink."
Gu Qingdai returned the words that Lian Beichuan had just mocked to her intact.
Even Beichuan was so angry that his brain started to throb and hurt.
Fortunately, he still blamed himself for accidentally injuring her, and felt so distressed that she had nothing to do and had enough energy to "fight" with him!
When the car was about to arrive at the teahouse, Gu Qingdai finally put away her little fangs and said, "On the day the teahouse opened...Song Yueting went to the backyard."
Just such a simple sentence made Lian Beichuan's face change instantly. Gu Qingdai trusted him the most in key matters.
Lian Beichuan pretended not to know what was going on and asked Gu Qingdai to explain everything clearly to him.
"Song Yueting was in contact with Na Hongtao, but the deputy county magistrate was not the only official person he contacted." Lian Beichuan told his side of the investigation.
"Then I just need to be more careful. I also ruined the blueprints for renovating the teahouse. I won't provide convenience to anyone."
Lian Beichuan looked approvingly, but he was more concerned about another question, "Has your back room been reinforced? Do you plan to live there forever?"
"Of course it's reinforced. Why don't you climb through the window again and see if you can climb in?"
After Gu Qingdai finished speaking, she knew that she had made a mistake again.
She prides herself on being a cautious person. No matter who she comes into contact with, she will think twice before speaking, even to Lian Beichuan.
But why did I always say whatever I wanted to say when I talked to him these two times?
Lian Beichuan really wanted to tell her that he had tried it a long time ago and almost fell down before he could get in.
The car had stopped in front of the teahouse, and even Beichuan returned to his stern face, "Song Yueting is not easy to mess with, so stay as far away from him as you can."
Gu Qingdai responded vaguely, then quickly opened the door and got out of the car, even forgetting to take off her cloak and return it to Lian Beichuan.
Lian Beichuan seemed to be afraid that she would give it back to him, so he started the car in a hurry and disappeared in front of the tea house in an instant.
There was another heavy snowfall that night, and the next day the ice and jade sculptures in Luancheng were covered in silver.
There were no longer as many guests in the teahouse as in previous days. Gu Qingdai knew that people were busy preparing New Year's goods to celebrate the lunar new year, and they certainly didn't have as much time for recreation as usual.
Even though the Zhong family's theater troupe has been sealed and Xu Xuannian, Zhu Xiaojiu and others have also stopped, the business in the teahouse is still good.
Because Xingshi Teahouse has once again shouldered the responsibility it once had - a distribution center for all kinds of news.
Gu Qingdai also continued to hear about several recent major events in Luancheng, all of which were related to Song Yueting.
One is that there was a serious fight in his Yuemen dance hall a few days ago, and it was rumored that someone died.
Another story is that he sent a foreign house to the director of Luancheng Finance Department. Of course, this is also a rumor.
Regardless of whether these rumors are true or false, they clearly convey an important message: the power of the Cao Gang is still overwhelming.
Regardless of the entanglement between the original owner and Song Yueting, or the advice Lian Beichuan gave her a few days ago, she should just stay away from Song Yueting.
Qin Liu'er insisted on performing on stage every day. She was also alone. When she was free at home, she might as well come to the teahouse to sing. Gu Qingdai's compensation for her was always very considerable.
She came earlier than usual today. She was worried that the road would be difficult to walk in the snow, but she didn't expect that everything she passed would be cleared.
"I haven't seen Xiaoqian for a while, so I thought I'd go over and have a look at her."
Gu Qingdai walked in with a shovel. She had just shoveled away the snow around the teahouse with the guys.
Qin Liuer was originally holding her beloved Pipa, but when she saw this, she quickly put it aside and made Gu Qingdai a pot of hot tea.
"I guess it won't be too busy in the study apartment. I'll go with the shopkeeper."
Gu Qingdai picked up the teacup and warmed her hands, "Then let's go there at noon tomorrow?"
Qin Liuer glanced at the door, "Shopkeeper, here are two distinguished guests."
Gu Qingdai went back to the Prime Minister and saw that it was the Fu Yanli whom she had met at the Lu family.
Isn't he a guest of the Lu family? Why is he getting involved with Fan Zheng again?
Fan Zheng is someone who never refuses anything, and can become fair-weather friends with anyone.
Gu Qingdai wanted to send Gu Qingsong to come forward to greet them, but Fan Zheng caught sight of them both.
He walked over with long strides and said with a playful smile: "Hey, I haven't seen you for a few days, and shopkeeper Gu is getting more and more beautiful!"
"Mr. Fan only sees our shopkeeper, and he will feel sad." Qin Liuer's eyes turned to Fan Zheng.
Fan Zheng likes such a delicate woman, "Miss Qin is lovely, I brought new friends here to support you."
Qin Liuer immediately became energetic, hugged the pipa and asked Fan Zheng what music he wanted to listen to.
Fu Yanli, who was following Fan Zheng, finally found an opportunity to talk to Gu Qingdai: "Shopkeeper Gu, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
"It hasn't been long, has it?" Gu Qingdai faked a smile without embarrassment.
Fu Yanli lowered his head and smiled lowly, using the kind of tone that only appeared in poetry and calligraphy books, "I don't see Shopkeeper Gu for a long time like three autumns!"
