Chapter 181 The water won’t rise, right?

"Miss, please don't think too much." Luo Kui wanted to slap herself in the mouth. It seemed that her mouth was only good for eating, and the words it spoke were not nice at all.

"Okay, I understand what you mean. It's a life-saving favor, right?" Xiao Jiuyue pinched her face and asked, "What happened next? We've been together for a long time, but don't you have any thoughts?"

"You are old enough to get married." Xiao Jiuyue looked at Luo Kui, who was now sixteen years old, the age of a flower.

Luo Kui blushed and said, "We have to follow the young lady as a dowry."

"Then if I don't get married, you won't get married either?" Xiao Jiuyue looked at her with a smile.

Luo Kui replied without thinking: "Of course."

"If we meet the right one, we'll have to get married." Xiao Jiuyue didn't wait for Luo Kui to reply and directly changed the subject, saying, "I specifically asked Ai Qiushi to come to the county this time so that he could see a doctor in the capital. This will help him recuperate and strengthen his physique."

"Miss, you are so thoughtful." Luo Kui looked at Xiao Jiuyue with emotion. It turned out that the young lady had already considered it before she even said it.

Luo Kui felt warm in her heart that the young lady could think so much about Lianxin. She was really happy to be able to stay with the young lady in this life.

"Miss, Ai Qiushi is here, and he brought the turntable." Lianxin led Ai Qiushi over, and Ai Qiushi came carrying a large turntable.

The colorful turntable is particularly eye-catching even in the dark.

"Miss, the turntable didn't turn smoothly before, so I modified it a little bit. It will turn more smoothly next time." Ai Qiushi carefully carried the big turntable to the corner of the hall. When he raised his hand and turned it gently, he could feel that the turntable was easier to turn than before.

"Yeah, it's definitely better than before." Xiao Jiuyue stood up and walked over, taking the initiative to try it out. He said, "Ai Qiushi, if this turntable is placed flat on the table with food on it, will it spin?"

In ancient times, when a table of people ate, although there were servants to serve the dishes, it was still better to use a turntable to pick up the dishes.

If this lucky wheel could be improved and made into a round wheel and placed on the table, would it also be a major feature?

"It should be possible, right?" Ai Qiushi scratched his hair and said uncertainly.

"Think about it when you are free. I will put it on a round table. When you put the dishes on the round table, you can turn it around and it will be convenient to pick up the dishes." Xiao Jiuyue told Ai Qiushi her idea.

Ai Qiushi squatted down and roughly drew a picture. After confirming what Xiao Jiuyue wanted, he said, "Miss, I can make it tomorrow, or at the latest in two days."

"Don't worry, go see a doctor tomorrow and take care of yourself. Only then can you help me do more things in the future." Xiao Jiuyue said encouragingly. Seeing that Ai Qiushi's skin had obviously darkened a degree in the past six months, old man Ai was also a man who listened to advice. He let Ai Qiushi go out more slowly, and his health was indeed much better than before.

"Miss, it won't delay anything." Ai Qiushi pursed his lips and smiled. He remembered his father's instructions before he left. Taking care of his health is important, but the young lady's instructions are even more important.

Xiao Jiuyue looked at the lucky wheel again, and after confirming that all the gifts on it were suitable, he stretched and went to bed. He had to go to Fengchunlou early tomorrow to make final preparations for the opening.

At daybreak, Xiao Jiuyue got up early. She was used to playing the piano every day at home, but she felt a little uncomfortable here because there was no piano to play.

Xiao Jiuyue was strolling around in the yard. The yard was not big, but there was still a small pond with spring water, giving people a feeling of prosperity.

Walking to the pavilion, Xiao Jiuyue saw a piano placed there.

Lian Xin hurriedly said, "Miss, Steward Ding said that since you came from Shengjing, you must love playing the piano. Their master specially placed a piano in the pavilion to entertain you."

"Miss, I always feel that the owner of Fengchunlou might know you?" Lianxin expressed her doubts.

The dish we had last night, the zongzi (steamed rice cake), was the young lady's favorite. However, it was usually only available in Shengjing. After arriving in Hongdu, the kitchen would often make it for the young lady as a snack.

"If I don't know him, then the owner of Fengchunlou is really meticulous." Lianxin murmured.

Xiao Jiuyue sat down directly in front of the zither. She practiced day after day. In the beginning, it was just to avoid being exposed. Now, she loves it from the bottom of her heart. This zither is somewhat similar to the one she played in Shengjing. Her slender fingers fell on the strings: "Whether you know it or not, the true face of Lushan will be revealed one day."

The sound of the piano flowed out slowly, and the familiar tune made Lianxin's worried heart slowly calm down.

After a simple breakfast, Zeng Qing's carriage came to pick up Xiao Jiuyue. They walked along the bank of the Yexi River to the end. The first shop at the corner of the street was Fengchunlou.

"Miss Xiao, Fengchun Tower was built according to the drawings you made. Take a look and see if there are any changes?" Zeng Qing led Xiao Jiuyue into Fengchun Tower. The quaint Fengchun Tower exuded elegance everywhere.

Whether it is the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, or the carefully nurtured spider plants placed in the corners, they are pleasing to the eye.

"Are all the dishes I asked you to prepare ready?" Xiao Jiuyue asked.

"Don't worry, Miss Xiao, everything is ready. The colors are as you said, the colors of the rainbow. How about I bring it to you to see?" Zeng Qing said, and directly asked someone to find the menu.

"Hang it up on the counter when the time comes, so customers can order." Xiao Jiuyue said, looking aside and said, "It's midsummer now. In addition to the regular soup, we'll also prepare iced sour plum soup and mung bean soup for everyone to enjoy."

"The restaurant is next to the river, and the river breeze blows, so it's not hot." Xiao Jiuyue walked up to the private room on the second floor. The elegant private room not only protected the privacy of the guests, but also allowed them to enjoy the scenery.

If you live near the river, you can enjoy the riverside scenery, and if you live near the back, you can enjoy the backyard scenery!

I don’t know how the owner of Fengchunlou found this place, the rockery and pond in the backyard. She asked someone to prepare a boat banquet. Now is the season when lotus flowers are in full bloom, which makes this boat banquet particularly beautiful.

The second floor offers a great view, and sitting on a boat banquet should be a unique experience, right?

Walk from the veranda and step on the stones to the banquet hall. The spacious black-sailed boat is more than enough to seat four people. The curtains provide just the right amount of cover, allowing people to sit inside and relax while enjoying the scenery.

"Manager Zeng, if there is a lot of rain, the water level in this pond won't rise, right?" Xiao Jiuyue was not worried about anything else but the rising water level.

"Don't worry, Miss Xiao. The workers have drained the pond and are sure it won't flood. It's always been this level, and in winter, the water will be even shallower."

Shopkeeper Zeng was particularly confident on this point. He said, "Miss Xiao, lighting the lights at night on this boat banquet, gazing at the lotus flowers in the pond, and savoring delicious food, that would be truly relaxing!"
