The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the fragrance of jasmine flowers slowly drifts into the lion teahouse with the breeze.
Although the teahouse opens very early, there are very few customers during the day.
There were scattered guests in twos and threes, most of them whispering in inconspicuous corners.
Many "secrets" were spread in the teahouse, and as the owner of the teahouse, Gu Qingdai always pretended to turn a deaf ear.
She leaned against the Eight Immortals table next to the window and looked outside again and again.
It was already past noon, but none of the people who had arranged to have sex with Xianer came to keep the appointment.
Gu Qingsong leaned on the long rosewood counter and smiled to himself, God was helping him keep the Gu family's old house.
"Sister, are those teeth ready?" He couldn't stop talking and ridiculed Gu Qingdai.
Gu Qingdai glanced at him with the tail of her eyes, too lazy to say anything.
Seeing that Gu Qingdai ignored her, she simply walked around the counter and approached her, "Maybe he heard about what happened last night and thought that we were involved with that wanted criminal, so he was too scared to do business with our family.
?”
This guy is just a pure pig teammate!
Are you eager to get yourself into trouble?
What spreads the fastest in the Xingshi Tea House?
That’s the news!
She looked at the little Jiujiu in his belly and made fun of herself with a few words, but didn't she know that walls have ears?
Who are the people drinking tea in the teahouse at this moment?
After staying here all morning, she didn't worry too much because she couldn't wait for the few people who wanted to marry her.
At worst, if it's not feasible to replace someone else, she can also directly find the buyer herself.
But it was the fact that Li Zheng died in the teahouse that made her restless.
If the news leaked out, how could she protect the lives of seven or eight people in the teahouse?
Did Lian Beichuan dispose of Li Zheng's body?
He wouldn't betray himself back then, would he?
She stood up suddenly and scolded sternly: "What nonsense are you talking about here? Be careful of being arrested by the officers and soldiers and put in jail!"
"Yes, yes, that's what my sister taught me." Gu Qingsong shrank his shoulders and echoed.
He didn't realize the seriousness of the matter and thought that last night was just a misunderstanding.
How come those officers and soldiers didn't take Gu Qingdai away and torture her despite Qingdai general Lian Beichuan's scolding?
"We are serious businessmen, and we blame even that bastard in Beichuan..."
Before the word "egg" could be uttered, Gu Qingdai spotted Lian Beichuan's figure.
When did he walk in? Why does he look like a ghost?
She brushed up her hair on her temples in embarrassment, and her scolding words were listened to by me again.
"Tell me, shopkeeper Gu, what are you going to say?"
Lian Beichuan was wearing an ivory white silk gown with a dark floral pattern and a pair of mille-feather soles, which looked completely different from the Western-style shirt and breeches he wore last night.
Behind him was a man wearing a crow-green silk robe, who must be his long-term butler. Both of them must be over eight feet tall.
It's just that Lian Beichuan's cold and stern face makes it easy for people to overlook that he is actually a handsome man.
The man in plain robe looked very easy-going and looked at Lian Beichuan and Gu Qingdai from behind, holding back their laughter.
It was probably the first time I saw their young boss being scolded several times by the same woman.
Gu Qingdai recalled the original text and found out that this person seemed to be named Huo Jie, and he had an affair with the original owner.
"Second Master Lian, have you finished? Why did you come to my little temple again? See for yourself -" Gu Qingdai stretched her arm and pointed towards the end of the tea house.
Lian Beichuan looked around the living room cooperatively and said, "Well, there are a few guests."
"Isn't it thanks to you? Isn't it right for me to call you a bastard? If you come to drink tea, you will be suspected of being a wanted criminal? Maybe you will be shot and your life will be at stake."
Lian Beichuan nodded in recognition of the "facts" she said, but he was ridiculing in his heart that this woman was really good at getting off a donkey, and she was better at acting than the female actors in the Zhong family's troupe.
Gu Qingsong was worried that Gu Qingdai had completely offended Lian Beichuan, so he hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over.
While telling Gu Qingdai to say a few words, he bowed to Lian Beichuan to apologize, and asked the waiter to hurry up and watch the tea pouring.
Even Beichuan sat down to drink tea and soothe his throat without even raising his eyelids, "Sit down."
Who are you ordering here?
Gu Qingdai turned around and was about to leave.
The housekeeper who had always been standing at the back suddenly blocked her way and smiled modestly: "Shopkeeper Gu, even those friends you made an appointment with today can't make it."
"I understand." Gu Qingdai rolled her eyes at him, turned around, pulled out a stool and sat down, "Second Master Lian wants to bully others, right?"
"Old shopkeeper Gu has just passed away, and you are going to sell the Gu family's old house. What an unfilial daughter!"
"I put this hat on my head, what do you want?"
"You want to renovate the teahouse?"
"Nothing to do with you."
"I will pay for the renovation of the teahouse. It will be regarded as my investment in the teahouse. From now on, the profit from the teahouse will be split 50-50 between us."
"You're dreaming!"
Gu Qingdai recalled what he said before leaving last night: "We are not done with this matter!"
In just one night, he not only investigated the situation inside the tea house, but also found out her recent movements.
He didn't believe that she had really destroyed the treasure map.
Killing the female shopkeeper of the Awakening Lion Teahouse may have been a way to scare off the enemy, which also allowed the mastermind behind the scenes to determine that the treasure map had been leaked to the public.
So Lian Beichuan changed his policy to be gentle.
If he were allowed to take control of the teahouse, wouldn't the plot return to its original main line?
Then go further...
Gu Qingdai will never let him succeed.
Lian Beichuan cleared his throat and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I helped you solve a huge problem, and you treat your benefactor with this attitude?"
"You didn't insult him, did you?"
Lian Beichuan understood that "he" referred to Li Zheng.
"Lay in peace." He said through lip language.
Gu Qingdai's eyes turned red instantly, feeling sad for the "stranger" who had only met once.
Lian Beichuan slightly touched the corner of his lips and pushed a cup of tea to her hand, indicating that she could relax her mood.
"I thank you for that, but there is no discussion between us about the teahouse. How about you make a price and treat it as my return of favor to you."
"You are so poor that you have to sell your old house."
"If you hadn't interfered with it, I might have sold the old house. The tea house is the work of my father and grandfather, and it can only be named Gu." On this issue, Gu Qingdai had a tough attitude.
Lian Beichuan was very puzzled. He had never met such a woman before. He rushed to Lian Beichuan to give money, but she was not willing to take it!
The Xingshi Teahouse has a special location, and Li Zheng is involved. Even if he doesn't take a stake, others will try to take advantage of the teahouse.
If you want to find out the whereabouts of the treasure map, the Lion Wake Teahouse will surely become the focus of the mastermind behind the scenes.
If you want to find out who is behind the scenes, the Lion Teahouse is a place you cannot avoid.
And the safety of Gu Qingdai and the people around her...
Even if he looked down upon her virtues, which were always in conflict with him, he couldn't let her be harmed by an adulterer.
"Four or six open, six for you and four for me."
Gu Qingdai shook her head.
"Three-seven."
Gu Qingdai continued to shake her head.
"Don't force me to use force!" Lian Beichuan's patience was about to run out.
Gu Qingdai mocked slowly: "It's not like you didn't use it last night."
She tilted her head and traced her jawline with her slender fingers, causing her skin to turn blue.
He secretly moved his fingers twice, but he didn't realize how much strength he used.
This woman is so pretentious, her skin and tender flesh are so fragile.
But for some reason, he seemed to be in a trance.
She just deliberately put on a flirtatious look!
I've heard before that the eldest girl of the Gu family is a beauty, and in the past two years, there have been quite a few people who have come to ask her to marry her.
Shopkeeper Gu left in a hurry and didn't even betroth her to her yet.
She took over the position of shopkeeper of the teahouse, made a living in public, and had to observe mourning for three years. The marriage might be postponed until the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse.
Lian Beichuan calmed down. What was he thinking about here? He was worried about a little girl.
"I don't know how to show appreciation!" Lian Beichuan tossed the back of his gown and walked out of the Lion Awakening Tea House angrily. This chapter has been completed!
