The Chinese New Year is approaching, and the streets and alleys are bustling with activity, with lights and decorations everywhere, and everyone is filled with smiles.
The children were the happiest. There was smoke everywhere and their noses were filled with the aroma of various foods.
After buying the things she needed, Qiu Yinong started strolling on the street.
The two of them held hands, attracting some people's attention from time to time. However, facing Chu Hongyun's cold and handsome face, and the maids and guards behind them, no one dared to gossip.
I just thought it was some young man bringing his favorite concubine out to buy New Year gifts.
"Are you tired? Do you want to find a teahouse to sit down and rest for a while?" Chu Hongyun lowered his head and asked Qiu Yinong gently.
Qiu Yinong nodded: "I'm not tired, but Li Ao and the others are carrying so many things, let's find a place to sit down."
Then let Li Ao send some things back first, as there might be a lot more later.
Chu Hongyun nodded, then gave instructions to Li Ao. Li Ao nodded, told two guards to carry the things together, and went to where the carriage was parked.
Qiu Yinong and her friends went to the largest teahouse nearby. Before they even entered the door, the waiter came out to greet them warmly.
"Would you like the downstairs hall or the private rooms upstairs? We've invited the famous Tian Mingzui to tell the story of how Princess Changping subdued the Queen of the Southern Territory and brought her to her knees."
"Oh, could it be that this Tian Tiezui has personally followed Princess Changping to the Southern Region?" Before Qiu Yinong and the other two could say anything, a nonchalant male voice came from behind them.
Qing Yuan turned around and saw a man dressed in an elegant manner. He was fanning himself with a folding fan in the cold weather.
Not afraid of freezing to death, what a joke.
The young man walked to the front of the store, looked at Chu Hongyun, and then looked at Qiu Yinong beside him. Qiu Yinong had a cold face and did not look at him.
The young man raised his eyebrows and tapped his palms with his folding fan: "Hahaha, give me a private room with the best view."
Having said that, he walked directly into the teahouse with a few servants.
The waiter was a little embarrassed, and then called another waiter to show the young man the way.
Then he continued to entertain Qiu Yinong and the others. The waiter greeted them with a smile: "Dear guests, please come in."
"Give us a private room too." Chu Hongyun also said.
The waiter responded quickly, led the guests to the private room on the second floor, and asked them what refreshments they would like.
Picking up the wooden sign beside him and choosing his refreshments, Qiu Yinong looked down.
A man was telling a story eloquently. I listened to a few sentences and then stopped listening.
It's just hearsay, embellished.
"This guy is such a liar. How can he be so good at making up stories?" Qing Yuan rolled her eyes speechlessly.
It's not as simple as they say. The master made a bet with the Queen of the Southern Region, and the Queen of the Southern Region surrendered only after she lost.
It seems that the master only knows how to use his cleverness to plot against others.
"He's just trying to make a living, so just ignore it." Qiu Yinong raised her hand and blocked the voice.
The guy came to deliver something, but he didn't hear any sound and thought that Tian Mingzui had stopped talking for a while.
As soon as I went out, I heard Tian Mingzui's voice again.
The guy was immediately confused. What was going on?
He didn't want to go back into the room, so he had to pretend that the silence was caused by Tian Mingzui drinking water.
The tea was average, and the snacks were just so-so, too sweet and greasy, and I couldn't eat them.
Qiu Yinong took two bites and put it down. Then he waved his hand and a set of tea set and a small stove appeared on the table.
She leisurely made tea, and when it was ready, she distributed it to everyone and took out the snacks she had prepared earlier.
"This is the best snack in this teahouse?" Qing Yuan pointed at the snacks that were pushed aside and said speechlessly.
"The snacks made by the fire-cooking maid at the Princess's Mansion are better than those made in this teahouse. The reason this teahouse has not closed down until now is probably because of the storyteller here."
Zi Yao also started to complain, and then saw Mr. Tian slap the wooden board and then walk off the stage.
"It seems like he's finished." Zi Yao pointed downstairs. After Tian Mingzui left, an old man came up on the stage, leaning on a stick and knocking on it.
He was holding a erhu in his hand and a pipa on his back.
A young girl carefully helped him sit down and then took the pipa from the old man.
Qiu Yinong lifted the barrier, and a man with a mustache walked up and said, "This is Old Hu and his daughter. If you have anything you want to hear, you can directly request a song, or you can let Old Hu and his daughter perform as they please."
"We want to listen to erotic music. Miss Hu, can you sing it?" A strange yet familiar voice came from upstairs.
Who else could it be but the young man from before? As soon as these words came out, the male guests below burst into laughter.
The women couldn't bear to see a girl being humiliated, so they quickly pulled their men out of the teahouse.
After a while, a small number of people left, but most of them stayed and looked at Miss Hu with a wicked smile.
Old Hu looked anxious, but the girl held her father's wrist.
Then adjust the pipa and start playing.
The music started, and as the minor tune came out of her throat, Qiu Yinong narrowed her eyes. The music played by this girl was quite good.
"We don't want to listen to this, we want to listen to erotic songs, don't you understand?" The voice sounded again.
Qiu Yinong frowned, wondering why this person was so annoying.
Some people below also started to make a fuss, and Qiu Yinong glanced at Qing Yuan.
Qing Yuan understood instantly and went to the young man's private room with rubbing his hands, but the door was suddenly kicked open.
The young man was still leaning on the window and making a fuss at the people below. Then he felt a pain in his butt and flew out, falling heavily to the ground. He even slid forward a bit due to inertia.
His face rubbed against the ground, leaving a trail of blood.
"Ouch, it hurts so much, who is it?" The second floor is not high, only about two and a half meters.
It's not that badly injured.
The servants were terrified and quickly leaned over the window to look: "Master, are you okay?"
"You try it!" the young man replied unhappily.
Then the servant really flew down, and the young man quickly dodged flexibly, fearing that he would be implicated.
Then the other servants were kicked down as well. The last one jumped down by himself and broke his leg.
If the young master doesn't realize that someone is deliberately targeting him, he is a fool.
She looked up towards her private room and saw the two maids she had just met at the door. They were both very beautiful.
He took a few more glances at it. He couldn't be so stingy, right?
The young master was so angry that he covered his face and pointed at Qing Yuan and said, "Why did you kick me in such a good mood?"
"I'm kicking you. The girl is singing and playing the guitar, and my master is listening. What are you doing?"
“Serves you right!”
"Girl, this is a reward for you. Just play it with confidence. If anyone else is blind, I will deal with them for you!" Qing Yuan flew down from the window.
He put a silver ingot into the small bamboo basket in front of the girl and comforted the father and daughter.
