Chapter 124 Chen Yunyun Wants to Tell a Story
Lin Xiaoyue's face instantly drooped as she said in annoyance, "I understand the logic, but the teahouse has posted a notice. If I don't go to tell stories tomorrow, the customers will think I'm dishonest, which will seriously affect the teahouse's future business. Although Brother Liang doesn't need this little money, the teahouse is bustling with people, making it the best place to gather information. I really want to make this teahouse a success."
The drunkard smiled and shook his head. As a bystander, he couldn't say anything, but as a doctor, he still wanted to give some advice, "Girl, if you can get better, you can tell stories with a loud voice and full of confidence, instead of being so cautious about what you say now. It's uncomfortable, isn't it?"
Lin Xiaoyue felt that she was really fooled by what the drunkard said. Although the effect of the Ma Fei San had not worn off and she did not feel any pain now, she always felt that it would pull on the wound when she spoke, so she had to speak slowly.
"Hey, Old Wine Monster, how about you stay at our teahouse for a while? Our chef was transferred from Jueweilou in Beijing!"
The old drunkard was never vague about business. He waved his hand and said, "If you ask me to let you take risks, I will never do it! Although I like fine wine and delicious food, I am also a doctor!"
Lin Xiaoyue was unable to refute and leaned helplessly on the cushion and drank the medicine that Chen Yunyun fed her.
Seeing that Lin Xiaoyue was almost going crazy because of storytelling, Chen Yunyun felt distressed and guilty. After all, she came here to help her. At this critical juncture, she was the only one who had learned Journey to the West, so now was the time for her to step forward!
She placed the bowl on the wooden tray, took Lin Xiaoyue's hand and said, "Sister Lin, I'll go tomorrow! Just trust me and rest assured and take good care of yourself here!"
Lin Xiaoyue thought about how Chen Yunyun had just reluctantly broken away from the notebook and told the stories of the previous few chapters in the morning. Is this really okay?
"Yunyun, you've never tried it before. Are you sure you won't get stage fright if you go on stage like this? If I were here, I could help you."
It would be a lie for Chen Yunyun to say that she wasn't nervous. She could already feel her palms sweating. But Sister Lin was very kind to her family. Every time she came home, she would bring a lot of things for her parents, leaving money and food. Although they were not related by blood, she was closer to them than any other relatives!
She has always wanted to do something for Sister Lin, and now the opportunity is right in front of her, and she doesn't want to miss it!
"Sister Lin, don't we still have time tonight and tomorrow morning? Here we have you, Brother Liang, and Old Wine Monster. Just be my guests. I'll practice hard and I'll definitely succeed!"
Lin Xiaoyue was touched. Chen Yunyun went to the teahouse to tell stories at this time. Not only did she have to face an unfamiliar stage alone, but she also faced the risk of being assassinated. These sisters are really good sisters!
"Okay, Brother Liang, can you go over and protect Yunyun?"
Liang Jingyao nodded and agreed without hesitation, "Okay! Actually, it's not that easy for the Liang Emperor to send someone here to assassinate him again. The ministers in the court must know that the General of Chariots and Cavalry is stationed in Yangming Town. So unless the Liang Emperor announces the General of Chariots and Cavalry's death, he can send someone here again. But the question is, does he dare to do it?"
"If he announced it, people in the court would ask him how the General of Chariots and Cavalry died. And what would the Emperor of Liang say? After all, Yangming Town isn't a border town, and there's no rebellion there. The Emperor of Liang can't just say he discovered Prince Rong's legitimate son was living there, and he wants to kill them all, right? Would the ministers in the court agree to that?"
Lin Xiaoyue felt that Liang Jingyao's analysis was correct. Prince Rong and the late emperor were brothers. As long as Prince Rong did not rebel, Emperor Liang could not exterminate his uncle's family. This would be despised by the world! Therefore, Emperor Liang actually did not have many people he could use!
It is estimated that there will be peace for a while, but how long it will last depends on what excuse Emperor Liang will find later!
Lin Xiaoyue nodded and said to Liang Jingyao, "That's right, I forgot the book I copied out at the teahouse. I have to trouble Brother Liang to go back and get it."
Chen Yunyun took out the notebook from her bosom with a smile and waved it in front of Lin Xiaoyue, "Sister Lin, it's here with me! Before Zhan Xiong sent me here, I was afraid I would be bored, so I just picked it up. I didn't expect it to be useful now!"
Lin Xiaoyue happily took the notebook and turned to the seventh chapter. "Yunyun, I will be teaching the seventh and eighth chapters tomorrow. You must remember these two chapters clearly. After I finish teaching them in the afternoon, let the guests who come in the evening choose the ones they didn't teach at noon. This way, you can teach them again in the evening and your pressure will be reduced."
Chen Yunyun nodded and said, "That's a good idea. I'll go read it first and you guys can listen to me later."
Lin Xiaoyue patted the back of Chen Yunyun's hand and encouraged her, "Go ahead, come on!"
After Chen Yunyun left, Liang Jingyao couldn't stay any longer because it was getting late and no one in the yard had eaten yet!
Liang Jingyao walked up to the old drunkard and warned him, "I'm going to go out and bring you some delicious food. You have to keep a close eye on Yue'er. If she tries to show off, you must stop her! Otherwise, I'll blame you!"
The drunkard now thinks Lin Xiaoyue is very kind, not only because Lin Xiaoyue promised to send him good wine and delicious food every day, but also because Lin Xiaoyue is Liang Jingyao's sweetheart. Liang Jingyao is the legitimate son of Prince Rong. He more or less understands the late emperor's intentions when he was about to die. The newly enthroned Emperor Liang has no ability, while Prince Rong is famous all over the world. As long as Prince Rong is in Dongsui Kingdom, Dongsui Kingdom will have one more day of peace!
So now he also loves the whole house as well!
"Don't worry, I'll bring you a pot of good wine when I come back!"
Liang Jingyao nodded and quickly left the dilapidated yard.
However, Liang Jingyao did not buy dinner at a restaurant on the street. The main reason was that he was worried that there might be people from Emperor Liang outside. If someone poisoned the food, it would be bad!
He rode in the carriage driven by Zhan Liang and went straight to the teahouse. There were cooks brought from the capital in the backyard. They were all his own people, so he felt at ease using them.
Walking into the kitchen in the backyard of the teahouse, Liang Jingyao saw that the cooks had not gone back to rest yet, and the food was heating in the pot waiting to be served.
He said with satisfaction, "Pack me some food for four people and I'm going to take it away now. Starting tomorrow, you all have to add one more person when you cook!"
The cooks in the kitchen responded in unison: "Yes! As ordered!"
Just as the kitchen was busy packing, Zhan Xiong walked in from outside. "Master, I heard from Zhan Liang that Miss Lin was attacked in the backyard. We were cleaning up the broken tables and chairs in the front yard at the time, so we didn't pay attention to the backyard. This is a dereliction of duty on the part of our Silver Slashing Guards. Please punish us, Master!"
When Liang Jingyao first saw Lin Xiaoyue being stabbed by the sword, he resented the Silver Slash Guards for not protecting Lin Xiaoyue, but now that he has calmed down, he still feels that the main responsibility lies with himself. He left too few people for Lin Xiaoyue, otherwise there would not be such an opportunity to take advantage of her!
"Let's save the punishment for now. Now, while the General of Chariots and Cavalry has just died and Emperor Liang hasn't found anyone to take charge of the army, I must quickly get the Cheetah Army into the city!"
Zhan Xiong also felt that this was a good opportunity, and said with a fist: "Is there anything I can do?"
