Qu Biqian looked disappointed, but quickly calmed down, not wanting to be noticed by Gu Qingdai.
"Then I'll go work in the teahouse." Qu Biqian wiped away her tears and followed Gu Qingdai's arrangement.
Seeing her grievance-filled look, Gu Qingdai sighed softly, "If you really want to follow Qin Liuer's path, save some money first and study with a good master for a few years."
Qu Biqian still refused to give up, pretending not to care and asked: "Can't you just let Liu'er teach me directly?"
"Xiao Qian, you should understand that in that case, you will have a competitive relationship." She opened the teahouse to make money, not to help the poor and the weak.
Anyone who can appear in the Lion Dance Tea House represents a certain level. They are the living signs of the tea house.
Gu Qingdai looked at Qu Biqian who had passed through the gate of hell in front of her, and thought she would make peace with her.
But for some reason, she felt that they were drifting apart.
"She can be regarded as walking out of the secret door." Qu Biqian said so quietly that Gu Qingdai didn't hear her clearly.
Gu Qingdai listened slightly and said, "Xiao Qian, what did you say? Repeat it again?"
Qu Biqian suddenly burst into laughter: "It's nothing, Qingdai, I'm still a little weak. Can I wait until next month to go to the teahouse to do some odd jobs?"
"what ever."
Gu Qingdai didn't want to stay any longer, so she came out to explain to the old lady and left quickly.
The changes that have occurred in Qu Biqian's bones cannot be concealed no matter how hard she tries.
When Gu Qingdai returned to the teahouse, she found Qin Liuer and had a heart-to-heart talk.
They are not selfless saints, and they will not accept the consequences for her choosing the wrong path.
"Qingdai, if it wasn't for your sake, do you think I would let her stay at my place?" This was the first time Qin Liuer called Gu Qingdai by her first name.
Gu Qingdai smiled silently: "Then wait until she recovers and then chase her away when she should. She will eventually have to face the world alone."
"I know it well." Qin Liu'er took the reward he got in the afternoon and waved it in front of Gu Qingdai's eyes.
"I wonder why you came so early today."
"Tonight is the home stage of the Zhong Family Troupe. If I don't come over early to sing for a while, won't I get nothing today?"
Gu Qingdai sat in front of the makeup mirror and fiddled with the cosmetics casually, "I think you can make another profit in the future."
Qin Liuer suddenly became energetic and said, "Shopkeeper, tell me if you have any ways to make money?"
Gu Qingdai tilted her head to the side, "After my rouge shop opens, you can go over there and make molds for me."
Qin Liuer didn't quite understand what she said, so Gu Qingdai stood up and walked her to the mirror of her wedding dress.
"You see, your style is the graceful style of the late former dynasty. Lipstick, Shidai, etc., are most suitable for your face."
Qin Liuer's cheeks turned red when she was praised, "Shopkeeper, you want to meet the needs of all kinds of women."
"Lu Minglan is my business card outside, and you are my business card inside."
"Then tell me, Shopkeeper Gu, if you have time tonight?"
"What's the matter with you?"
"Seeing that you have lost a lot of weight recently, I would like to take this opportunity to flatter you and have a meal with the shopkeeper."
Gu Qingdai had started to comb her hair again. She smiled at the person in the bronze mirror, "Where would Boss Qin invite me to eat?"
"I heard that the food at Guihua Restaurant is pretty good. Can we go over and try something new?"
The two of them left immediately. Before setting off, Gu Qingdai had to walk around the teahouse.
Zhong Ling won't be on stage again tonight, Xu Xuannian hasn't come over to show his face for a while, and the card-playing room hired by Chang Lian Beichuan has been empty for several days...
It took him too much time a while ago, so he must be very busy recently, right?
When Gu Qingdai and Qin Liuer arrived at Osmanthus Blossom Tower, it was not yet dark.
When the waiter saw that they were female guests, he arranged a unique private room for them.
"If you two come here a little later, I guess there won't be any room." The waiter poured tea and water for them, and enthusiastically recommended special dishes.
Gu Qingdai casually ordered a few dishes, "Are there any distinguished guests coming to the store tonight?"
"No, Mr. Song from Caobang is going to hold a celebration banquet at our place. Isn't today the primary election for the Miss Luancheng beauty pageant?"
The waiter smiled and talked about the gossip, and also complimented the two of them that they would definitely get places if they participated.
The box they were in was right next to the window. Gu Qingdai slightly opened a gap and looked out, and saw many Caogang personnel walking into the Osmanthus Blossom Building one after another.
"Liu'er, let's fight quickly." Gu Qingdai really didn't want to run into Song Yueting on this occasion.
Qin Liuer sipped half a cup of soju and said, "Let's just eat and drink in this box. It won't bother them, right?"
Li'er was such a reasonable person, but based on Gu Qingdai's previous experience, it was better to stay away.
Qin Liuer suddenly glanced out of the window, "Qingdai, look below, is Song Yueting walking in with Zhong Ling?"
Gu Qingdai took a closer look and saw that it was Zhong Ling.
She was dressed very eye-catchingly today, but she was a little too thin.
"Zhong Ling is really brave. What's the weather like? His arms and legs are exposed." Qin Liu'er complained and drank half a cup of shochu.
Gu Qingdai took the wine bottle into her hand and said, "Stop drinking. If you get drunk, I won't be able to carry you."
Qin Liu'er touched her rosy little face and said, "These dishes in his house don't taste bad, right? Eat more."
Suddenly, I heard that there was an uproar outside the box, and it seemed that Caobang was celebrating.
"Shall we leave early? Bring these dishes back to the whole hall for them to try?"
Qin Liuer was slightly unhappy, "What are you in a hurry for? I'll go first...for convenience."
"Ah? Shall I go with you?" Gu Qingdai looked at the empty wine bottles on the table and suddenly frowned.
Did Qin Liuer get drunk from drinking two more drinks, or did she become like this as soon as she drank?
Gu Qingdai remembered that she was very drunk on the night of New Year's Eve. How could she have forgotten this?
Before arriving at Guihua House, Qin Liuer also sent the little girl who was waiting for her home.
Qin Liuer waved her hand to sit down and wait, and she would go back on her own.
But after waiting for half a day, she has not returned to the box. How can Gu Qingdai still sit still?
She got up and opened the door of the box, asked the waiter for the location of the latrine, and hurried to that end.
I searched inside and outside, but there was no trace of Qin Liuer.
Gu Qingdai returned to the box again, wondering if she had gone back?
She returned along the corridor and suddenly heard a woman pleading in a private room at one end of the corridor.
Gu Qingdai was afraid that Qin Liuer was being bullied by the gangsters, so she rashly opened the door without thinking too much.
Then she was stunned by the scene inside...
Five or six wretched men are "flirting" with Zhong Ling?
Seeing that Qin Liuer was not in the room, Gu Qingdai apologized repeatedly, "Sorry, I, I went to the wrong house, bother me!"
She turned around and ran away.
How could those men let go of someone who ruined their good deeds?
Then he rushed out in a hurry, shouting with curses, "Little bitch, stop for me!"
Let them seize it, where can there be any good fruit to eat?
Gu Qingdai did not dare to return to the original box, fearing that she would drag Qin Liuer down again.
Just when she was about to be overtaken by those men, she pushed open the door of the room at hand and entered another private room by mistake.
There was only one young man inside, as if he was waiting for a date.
The man was stunned for a moment when he saw Gu Qingdai, and Gu Qingdai squatted at his feet without any warning.
"You, what are you doing?"
"It's too late, I'm offended, I'm offended!" After saying that, she went straight under the dining table.
