Chapter 429 Zhang Hao Hao Was Exposed Just After Confessing Affectionately With Zhao Pan'er
Chapter 429 Zhang Haohao was exposed just after he confessed his love to Zhao Paner
At the same time, in the major teahouses in Tea Soup Alley, all the guests were talking about the advent of the semi-hidden teahouse.
"Two hundred and fifty cents, a whole two hundred and fifty cents, aren't they robbing money?"
"The same dragon and phoenix dumpling was only sold for thirty cents in Tea Soup Alley, but they actually sold it for two hundred and fifty cents. It was just served in different tea cups, and it was sold at such a high price. Isn't this the behavior of profiteers?
"
At this moment, He Si, who was dressed as a scholar, gently waved an origami fan and asked with a smile:
"Brother, how does the half-covered tea you just mentioned compare with this place?"
The man thought about it for a moment, and finally nodded and admitted:
"The taste is indeed better than the one here!"
"Boss, check out!"
He Si stood up immediately, as if he couldn't wait to go to the Half-faced Tea House to drink tea. He looked at the original scholar and asked with a smile:
"Brother, where is this half-covered teahouse located?"
"It's so expensive, why do you still want to go?"
"That's natural. A famous person like me will naturally drink more expensive tea. The wine Li Taibai drank will naturally be more expensive than what is sold elsewhere. I also heard that the half-masked people have gathered together.
A complete set of imperial porcelains that have been loved by generations of officials. If this imperial porcelain is broken, then one is missing. Moreover, I have been drinking tea in this tea soup lane for more than ten years. If you are not tired of it, I am tired of it, so I will go and see it.
Look at the set of nine imperial porcelains, it’s not a loss to see the feast for the eyes, what is this called? This means that the emperor’s daughter will not have to worry about getting married!”
"Damn fat man, what are you talking about?"
Just when He Si was getting excited, the waiter from Qingmingfang poured a basin of cold water on him from upstairs. He Si was so frightened that he ran away without forgetting to attract customers and said:
"If you go late, there won't be any more. Everyone, hurry up and take a look!"
"Let's go and have a look!"
"Go, go!"
In a short time, most of the guests in Qingming Tea House had left, and the same was true for other tea shops. The little flower seller, the storyteller, and the children playing on the street were all talking about the half-hidden faces on Ma Xing Street.
Soon, more and more people flocked to Ma Xing Street. There were more than a hundred literati and poets holding folding fans, and there were even more people watching the excitement. They spread the word from ten to ten, and from ten to hundreds, with their faces half-covered.
It became famous among the teahouses in Tokyo, and everyone had mixed reviews. The half-covered tea and fruits were excellent, but the price was also extremely expensive. Ordinary people were discouraged, but the literati flocked to it.
, the colleagues in Tea Soup Alley were itching with hatred, because half-covering their faces not only broke the rules and broke the market price, but also sent people to their stores to solicit customers. It was simply too much bullying. Who can tolerate it?
The setting sun was setting and the twilight was hazy. Compared with the previous crowds, the reopened half-covered tea house was prospering, making money every day. Zhao Pan'er sent the last group of guests out. At this time, He Si, dressed as a scholar,
He walked in from outside the teahouse and said with an apologetic smile:
"Ms. Zhao, am I doing well?"
"Thank you for today. Let's continue tomorrow!"
Zhao Paner stuffed a heavy money bag into He Si and said with a smile:
"But don't talk about us being better than others in Chatang Alley, so as not to make people hate you!"
"Hey, that's easy to say!"
He Si opened the wallet and took a look, and immediately said with a smile:
"Mrs. Zhao, you are so much more cheerful than our yamen. As for those in our yamen, you are the most generous!"
Zhao Pan'er smiled, looked at the beaming He Si and said cheerfully:
"You have such a sweet mouth, are you trying to trick me into eating the fruit again?"
"No!"
He Si chuckled and said:
"It's our yameni. My birthday is coming soon. I don't know what gift to give. I don't have anything to offer. Just look at this, hehe!"
"I've already prepared it for you, just wait!"
Seeing through He Si's little thoughts, Zhao Paner took two boxes of beautifully packaged fruits from the kitchen, handed them to the greedy He Si and said with a smile:
"Hey, one box is for you, and one box is for your Chi Yanei, don't eat them all!"
"Okay, thank you Madam Zhao!"
After a busy day, Yuan Xudong and Zhao Pan'er returned home. After dinner, they sat under the pavilion in the garden and calculated their accounts. Zhao Pan'er sat at the table and typed the abacus quickly. Yuan Xudong, Song Yinzhang, Sun Sanniang, and
The Yinping girls all sat around her and watched. After all the calculations were completed, Zhao Paner raised her head and smiled proudly:
"Today we made a total of forty guans and 425 fen. After excluding our store rent, renovation costs, and the royalties for He Si and the others, we made a net profit of 425 fen!"
"Great, great!"
Song Yinzhang, Sun Sanniang, and Yin Ping girl were all very happy. At this time, Zhao Pan'er smiled slightly and said:
"Don't be too happy. Today is our first day. We still have some furniture, tea cups and so on. Overall, we still make a loss!"
Song Yinzhang was still full of joy and said:
"I don't care anyway, the fact that we can make so much money on the first day shows that our new approach is right!"
Sun Sanniang agreed:
"Well, I was quite tired at first, but now I feel full of energy after hearing that I've made money!"
After chatting for a while, seeing that Song Yinzhang and Yin Ping girl were a little tired, Zhao Pan'er asked them to go back to the house to rest first. Sun Sanniang also left with her to prepare the fruits to be sold tomorrow. After a while, only Yuan Xudong and Zhao Pan'er were left under the pavilion.
Alone together, Zhao Pan'er looked at Yuan Xudong and said proudly:
"Who said I was going to lose money?"
"Okay, I said the wrong thing, I'm willing to admit defeat!"
Looking at the somewhat proud Zhao Paner, Yuan Xudong said with a smile:
"Pan'er, what do you think we should do? How about I listen to you from now on? If you ask me to go east, I will never dare to go west. Is this okay?"
"OK!"
Zhao Paner looked at Yuan Xudong and smiled sweetly:
"Come and sit!"
"okay!"
Seeing Zhao Pan'er extending her hand to greet him, Yuan Xudong trotted over, sat down next to her and said with a smile:
"Madam, do you have anything to give me?"
"Don't move, just close your eyes!"
"okay!"
Looking at Zhao Paner with a sly smile, Yuan Xudong knew that she must be trying to tease him. However, Yuan Xudong still closed his eyes obediently and begged for mercy pitifully:
"Madam, please be merciful!"
"do not move!"
Looking at Yuan Xudong who had closed his eyes obediently, Zhao Paner took a bookkeeping brush and drew a few beards on his mouth and said with a smile:
"Okay, let me see if you dare to underestimate me in the future!"
Yuan Xudong slowly opened his eyes and saw Zhao Pan'er smiling brightly, with ice-cold muscles and jade bones. He raised a smirk at the corner of his mouth, suddenly picked her up from the chair, spun her around twice in mid-air and said with a smile:
"Are you happy now?"
"Put me down quickly!"
"Don't let go!"
"Put me down quickly!"
"Don't let go!"
Looking at Zhao Pan'er who seemed angry and happy at the same time, Yuan Xudong smiled evilly and said:
"Unless you call my name, I will let you down!"
Zhao Pan'er was lifted up in the air by Yuan Xudong's thighs. She smiled coquettishly, gave Yuan Xudong a white look and shouted:
"Xiao Fan, please put me down quickly!"
"It's not this, let's give it another name!"
"Fan Lang, please put me down quickly. Am I angry?"
"All right!"
Putting Zhao Pan'er down, Yuan Xudong held her hand and refused to let go. He accidentally saw the pomegranate flowers blooming in the garden. Under the bright moonlight, the bright red and delicate pomegranate flowers were so beautiful. Yuan Xudong held Zhao Pan'er's slender hand.
Jade Hand trotted over, broke off a small pomegranate branch and put it in her hair, smiling softly:
"Pan'er, you are so beautiful, like a fairy in the Yaochi!"
"What are you talking about?"
Seeing Yuan Xudong looking at him with burning eyes and listening to his praise, Zhao Paner lowered her head shyly. Seeing how shy she was, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"Everything I said is true. I swear, Pan'er, I love you!"
The first time she heard Yuan Xudong express his love to her so sincerely, Zhao Pan'er couldn't help but feel touched. She raised her eyes to meet Yuan Xudong's tender eyes and said:
"Fan Lang, you."
"Don't talk!"
Before Zhao Pan'er could finish speaking, Yuan Xudong reached out and covered her lips. Slowly, he lowered his head and began to kiss Zhao Pan'er's slender neck, as white as jade. The kiss went from shallow to deep, and he greedily bit her.
With fair and delicate skin, she gently smelled the woman's body fragrance with a hint of tea. Zhao Pan'er was a little embarrassed at first and wanted to push him away, but slowly, she began to close her eyes, her red lips softly
Kai, biting her lip with her neat white teeth, she couldn't help but moan. She hugged Yuan Xudong's chest very hard, twisted around in his arms, and moaned softly:
"Fan Lang. Fan Lang ugh!"
Love naturally grows deeper. Looking at Zhao Pan'er who was soft and blushing, Yuan Xudong picked her up and walked straight to her boudoir. After entering the room, Yuan Xudong closed the door and pulled up the curtain in front of the bed.
Zhao Pan'er lay flat on the bed, placing a jade pillow under her head. He pulled her clothes away one by one, and then gently leaned down.
After a lot of ups and downs, the room became quiet again. Yuan Xudong was wearing a white singlet and leaning on the bedside. Zhao Pan'er was nestled in his arms. She only wore a pink bellyband embroidered with plum blossoms, which was white and round.
With her shoulders exposed, Yuan Xudong's big hands gently caressed her body, comforting her tenderly. After a moment, Zhao Pan'er curled up into Yuan Xudong's arms, holding his neck tightly with her bare hands. She raised her
She looked at him and said softly:
"Fan Lang, tell me the truth, do you really want to take Sanniang as your concubine?"
"what?"
Yuan Xudong hugged Zhao Paner's soft body, looked down at her, then pointed at the ink marks still on his mouth and said with a smile:
"You still want to punish me?"
"I hate it, who wants to punish you?"
After giving Yuan Xudong a hard look, Zhao Paner actually straddled him, leaned over his chest, touched his heart with her slender hand and said with a smile:
"Bad guy, tell me the truth, do you want to take a concubine?"
"this."
Looking at Zhao Pan'er, Yuan Xudong couldn't make up his mind for a moment. Is she testing himself?
Seeing Yuan Xudong hesitating, Zhao Paner rolled her eyes at him and said:
"Forget it, you don't need to say anything, I understand everything!"
After glaring hard at Yuan Xudong, who had no treacherous heart but no courage, Zhao Pan'er lay on top of him and sighed close to his heart:
"If you want to take a concubine, feel free to do so, but the position of the head wife must be mine, do you hear me?"
"Pan'er, me."
He didn't expect that Zhao Pan'er would be so virtuous and kind. For a moment, Yuan Xudong was greatly moved. Before he could say anything, Zhao Pan'er gently covered his mouth and said softly:
"Okay, I don't want to hear it. When you stay with me, you are not allowed to mention other little ladies!"
"Okay, then don't mention it!"
Looking at the gentle and generous Zhao Pan'er, Yuan Xudong was extremely happy. He rolled around on the bed with Zhao Pan'er in his arms, pressed her under him and said with a smile:
"Pan'er, I want you!"
"No, no no!"
At noon the next day, compared with yesterday, the business of Half-faced Tea House was better today. After saying hello to Sun Sanniang and the others, Zhao Pan'er took a box of fruit and went to the painting boat of Shuangxi Building to visit Zhang Haohao.
In Shuangxi Building, after Zhao Pan'er announced her intention, she finally met Zhang Hao Hao, Yuan Xudong's best friend. Zhang Hao Hao was sitting lazily at the table. She picked up a piece of osmanthus cake from the food box Zhao Pan'er brought and looked at it carefully.
He took a bite, and couldn't help but praise:
"Sure enough, it is delicious, soft and rich, and is as good as the fruit I tasted in Ouchi!"
Looking at Zhang Haohao, who had never dressed up properly but was still charming and charming, Zhao Paner smiled softly and said:
"If Mrs. Zhang likes it, how about I have someone give me a box every day from now on?"
"For no reason, how could such a good thing happen to me?"
Zhang Haohao smiled softly while eating the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that Zhao Pan'er gave her. Knowing that Zhang Haohao was as smart as herself, Zhao Pan'er did not mince words, but said directly:
"I am Yinzhang's sister. I heard from Yinzhang that Madam Zhang is a cheerful person, so I will make it clear that those who come to Madam Zhang to enjoy singing are not only rich or noble, but also many people like Liu Jiuguan.
If literati like Wang Shitong were allowed to taste these fruits, wouldn't it not only add color to your Shuangxi Building, but also make my tea house famous?"
"Oh, it turns out that you want to rely on me to attract customers, but you want to bribe me with only 300 yuan. Isn't it too cheap?"
"What Ms. Zhang lacks is not money. With all due respect, what you lack is how unique you are!"
Looking at the arrogant Zhang Haohao, Zhao Paner said confidently:
"Last time you performed your voice in front of the emperor and attracted applause from all the people, but since then, the scenery has deteriorated day by day. There are more than a hundred kaikos affiliated with the school. Seeing the various celebrations in the spring, they are all working hard.
, are preparing to perform in the palace, the officials are generous, if they are also rewarded with colorful clothes in the future, your golden voice will not be so rare!"
Before being harmed by Yuan Xudong, Zhao Pan'er's words might have impressed Zhang Haohao, but since Yuan Xudong took away his body, Zhang Haohao's thoughts are not above these false names. No matter how powerful the oiran is,
Can they marry the son of the prime minister's family?
With these thoughts in mind, looking at the confident Zhao Pan'er, she opened her mouth and smiled coquettishly:
"A few days ago, what you said might have moved me, but now, I don't care much about it anymore. Whether it's a golden voice or colorful clothes, whoever wants it can go for it. I, Zhang Haohao, don't care!
"
Looking at Zhao Pan'er who looked slightly stunned, Zhang Haohao smiled and said:
"Don't worry, I will help your tea house to attract customers. Who calls you Yinzhang's Pan'er sister? After all, I am also Yinzhang's sister. You are her Pan'er sister. I
She is her good sister, we are all a family!"
"Yeah?"
Although unexpected, the ending was good. Zhao Paner looked at Zhang Hao, who was smiling sweetly, and said with a smile:
"Then thank you Madam Zhang!"
"No, speaking of it, I should be the one thanking Sister Yinzhang. If it weren't for her, why wouldn't I have such a good marriage?"
"Marriage?"
Zhao Pan'er was slightly dazed. At this time, Zhang Haohao stood up from the chair. She looked around her room, then moved a vase from a shelf not far away and handed it to Zhao Pan'er with a smile:
"The opening gift I gave you is a plum vase from Ding kiln with a plate mouth and inscriptions written by the eight kings. You put it in the teahouse so that the guests know that we have a close relationship. I hope it can help.
you!"
"Thanks!"
Zhao Pan'er took the opening gift from Zhang Haohao in a daze. Compared with this plum vase from Ding kiln, her attention was more focused on Zhang Haohao's waist.
Hanging from the waist of a willow, there is a golden gold medal with a moire pattern hanging on it. The gold medal has a big Chinese character "Xiao" engraved on it. It is exactly the gold medal with a moire pattern that Yuan Xudong gave to Zhao Pan'er.
Seeing Zhao Paner staring at his moiré gold medal, Zhang Haohao took the gold medal into his hand like a treasure and said with a smile:
"I can't give this moiré gold medal to you. It's my treasure, and it's also my amulet!"
"Yeah?"
After taking a look at the little girl acting coquettishly, Zhao Pan'er forced a smile and said:
"I think I have this gold medal."
"Yes, this is the piece that belonged to Miss Yin Zhang, but it's mine now!"
Zhang Haohao put the moiré gold medal back on his waist, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said shyly with a mixture of anger and joy on his face:
"I guess you know Fan Lang, so I'll tell you the truth. He bullied me a few days ago. Afterwards, he sent someone to send several boxes of property as compensation, as well as the sales contract of Shuangxi Building. I have promised to take it.
I married him, so I stopped thinking about competing for fame and fortune. This gold medal is also the compensation he wants to give me, and it’s not me, Zhang Hao, who is cheating and not giving it back to Yin Zhang!"
"So this is ah!"
Zhao Pan'er forced herself to calm down, and chatted with Zhang Hao Hao for a while, and learned a little about the things between her and Yuan Xudong. Zhang Hao Hao was not a fool, and she naturally noticed that there was a close relationship between Zhao Pan'er and Yuan Xudong.
, but she didn’t take it seriously at all and just said whatever she needed to say. Yuan Xudong had already made it clear to her that in terms of status, she would only be a concubine. In terms of actual living treatment, she would be the same as the Xiao family.
Just like a wife, she never dared to expect that Yuan Xudong would only pamper her. As long as he had a place for her in his heart, at least she would have a good support, right?
After chatting with Zhang Haohao for a while, Zhao Paner left the boat in Shuangxi Building with a big box in both hands. She was in high spirits when she first left, but she was in a state of despair when she came back. At this time, the ship docked and the deck shook, and she was in a daze.
Zhao Paner was a little unsteady and almost fell down. At this moment, Yuan Xudong stood on the shore and supported her with one hand. He took the big wooden box she was holding with the other hand and said with concern:
"Be careful, don't fall!"
"Hmm~~"
Looking up at Yuan Xudong, Zhao Pan'er nodded slightly. She held the hem of her skirt in one hand and held Yuan Xudong's hand ashore from the barge. Under the sunlight, the two of them walked towards the half-covered tea house on Mahang Street, with behind them
The figure was slender. After walking for a while, Yuan Xudong took the initiative to ask when Zhao Paner looked unhappy:
"Pan'er, what's wrong with you? Why do you look unhappy?"
Hearing this, Zhao Paner looked at Yuan Xudong intently for a while, hesitated to speak, and finally said:
"It's okay, I'm too busy with business, maybe I'm tired!"
"Yeah?"
Seeing that Zhao Pan'er didn't want to say anything, Yuan Xudong changed the topic and said:
"What's in this box?"
Hearing this, Zhao Pan'er raised her head and looked into Yuan Xudong's eyes, and said softly:
"The opening gift Zhang Haohao gave me was a plum vase from Ding kiln. She said it had the inscriptions of the eight kings on it, and she asked me to put it in the private room. The guests who come will know that our relationship is very close!
"
Uh-huh?
Zhao Paner just met Zhang Haohao?
Yuan Xudong finally knew why Zhao Pan'er was unhappy. He was fine and very enthusiastic last night. However, it has changed now. Zhang Haohao must have said something to her. If he had known it earlier, he might as well have confessed everything last night.
, it’s better to strive for leniency, but it seems that Zhao Paner didn’t allow herself to mention other women in front of her. Is this all her fault?
