The dishes on the table are worthy of being signature dishes, and each one is so unique.

If the two of them didn't have great self-control, I'm afraid they wouldn't have eaten well at this time.

But the two of them didn't just eat, they also listened.

Although there were upstairs and downstairs between them, there was no obstruction in between, so the sounds from downstairs were real to him and he could hear them whenever he wanted.

It’s just that most of these people are not serious key people.

That is to say, more people have mentioned the Grand Canal because it has been quite popular recently.

But it seems a little different from what they thought.

The excavation of the Grand Canal was proceeding in an orderly manner, and all one could hear was people talking about the construction and excavation speed on that side of the Grand Canal.

After all, people who can come here are not short of money, so there is no need to negotiate about wages and food.

But Bi Xiuxin knew that these two were the real indicators of whether there would be unrest.

However, Bi Xiuxin doesn't think the government will give money.

If everyone paid, that would be a huge amount of money. I have never seen such an outrageous thing.

However, what he thinks is impossible is the real possibility.

Because of Li Xiuzhu's participation, not only were they paid, but they were also able to eat enough.

Of course, they didn’t get the snow disaster relief money, as they are still in the repayment period, but they can still have enough food to eat.

With so many people living together, the hygiene and epidemic prevention measures are pretty good.

Just then, a person who interested them was mentioned.

"I met the Duke of Anyang a few days ago."

"What's so strange about this? Under the emperor, you don't know how many officials there are unless you are an official. Let alone the Duke of Anyang, I have even met the Third Prince."

"Hey, but I found out that the Duke of Anyang has a mistress in his house."

"Ah? Is this true? Didn't he just marry two princesses? Could it be that two princesses plus Miss Fu's family can't satisfy him?"

"Who says she isn't? It is said that Princess Wenhua is as beautiful as a fairy. I have even seen Princess Wenjie once. She was very heroic and beautiful."

"That makes me a little curious about the woman who is hidden in the golden house."

"Where does that woman live? I'll stop by when I have time."

"Live in..."

"Ding~"

At this moment, the sound of a pipa suddenly rang out, interrupting their conversation.

The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw a pretty woman sitting there.

This person was not Shen Youwei, but another wealthy family. As Yunzhu Tower made a fortune, Fu Yunshuang bought two more wealthy families.

"It's Ziqi, everyone, be quiet, be quiet, don't delay me from listening to the music."

"That's right, that's right."

Liu Ziqi had a slight smile on her face, and looked at everyone in silence with satisfaction.

Although she still has to perform now, days like this are so relaxing. Without the pressure of receiving customers, she feels that life is sweet and the sky is clear.

The employer allowed them to redeem themselves indefinitely and provided them with food and accommodation.

Now she has her own family, and there are two other people in her family who have the same miserable life as her. They are like sisters.

The employer even allowed them to hire maids so that their lives would not be too comfortable.

She had thought it through. Even if she redeemed herself, she would not want to leave that small courtyard, and they would all live together.

Seeing Bi Xiuxin quiet downstairs, she frowned slightly. It was just a place where Li Xiuzhu kept his mistress, so if she didn't hear it, then she didn't hear it.

"Thump, thump, thump, thump~"

Just a few high and low notes at the beginning can make people feel the tenderness.

But this is not the end, the song only ends when it starts.

Liu Ziqi's tender white hands kept moving on the pipa, bringing out beautiful notes one after another.

"Qinhuai songs are played everywhere, and the eight beauties are equally talented"

"If the scenery is so beautiful, I don't feel sad. I'll sing a new song and drink a pot of wine."

"A fleeting shadow passes by, between the sleeves of flowers"

“…”

“…”

The soft Wu dialect touches people's hearts.

This poem by Li Xiuzhu is about the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai. Only Liu Ziqi, who was born in Yangzhou, can sing the soft and elegant Qinhuai dialect. (If you like, you can go and listen to it. Look for the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai in Liu Qingyao's original song on B station.) The song is not long, but it makes people intoxicated.

It took them a while to react.

"Yes, it sounds so beautiful. I seem to see the tender beauty of Jiangnan."

"Who isn't? My heart melts."

"Master Ziqi, I wonder how much silver I can give to redeem you."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Liu Ziqi smiled upon hearing this, and said softly, "The boss has already redeemed Ziqi, and allows Ziqi to redeem her indenture without a time limit."

"During this period, all marriages are decided by Ziqi."

"So Ziqi doesn't need you to redeem her anymore. Thank you."

Everyone was stunned at this. Is it possible that someone who signed a contract to sell themselves can marry without being played with?

At this moment, everyone's eyes were filled with murderous light.

If you can kidnap someone, wouldn't you be rich? You can make money while lying at home, and you can also have fun, it's a win-win situation.

It will be great to sell it when you are old and ugly.

Yes, in the eyes of these people, those who belong to a brothel belong to a brothel, and exploitation and trafficking are their fate.

"Before we part, I will play you Lanling Prince's Battle Song. I hope you like it."

This time there was only the pipa tune without any lyrics, but the song of Lanling Prince's march into battle was sonorous and tragic, majestic, and the spirit of killing and destruction stirred the heartstrings.

After the song was over, everyone was still immersed in the sound of the pipa and didn't even know when the person left.

"What a great Yunzhu Tower! Not only the food, but even the performances are first-rate."

"This song of Lanling Prince's battle entry can already affect people's minds. Even I am moved by it."

"The best restaurant in the capital, it lives up to its reputation."

Hearing Ning Daoqi's praise, Bi Xiuxin also nodded.

"It really deserves to be the best restaurant in the capital. I heard from the maid before that there will be storytelling in the afternoon and dance performances during dinner."

"Master Ning, would you like to taste it?"

Ning Daoqi was moved when he heard this, but still shook his head.

"We have a very important mission here. This afternoon I plan to go to the inn where the Jianghu people are staying to inquire about the situation."

"Tomorrow I plan to take you, Xiuxin, to visit the crown prince."

Bi Xiuxin also knew what was important, and nodded when she heard it.

"Okay, then I'll wait for the master to come back at the inn."

Bi Xiuxin knew her situation. If she went there unless she disguised herself, she would be the focus of everyone's attention, which would not be conducive to gathering intelligence.

"Yeah, okay."

After they finished their meal, they went downstairs. Xiaoyaozi, who had been waiting on the side, first sent a message to Li Xiuzhu, and then walked towards them.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuzhu in the carriage slightly lifted a corner of the curtain and looked over.

Li Xiuzhu was stunned for a moment, then he understood.

The women in Cihang Jingzhai are all really beauties. Thinking of this, he suddenly looked forward to meeting the successor of Yin Kui.

Li Xiuzhu admired Bi Xiuxin's beauty, then looked at Ning Daoqi standing beside him.

Ning Daoqi does have some Taoist aura, but not much. He looks okay, just okay.
