Chapter 406 The influence of the Goddess of Luoshui
"Maybe it's because the two cabbage buns just now affected the taste..." Li Yi took a big gulp of the unpalatable white porridge and said: "From a gastronomic point of view, before tasting delicious food, it is best to
It’s better not to eat any messy things... This porridge is very good, it would be nice if there was a plate of pickles or pickled cucumbers.”
If you don't participate, you have no right to speak. If the porridge is sold well, you can judge it after spending money. It is not the behavior of a gentleman to eat and drink other people's porridge for free and think that the porridge cooked by others is unpalatable.
Although Li Yi does not define himself as a gentleman, in order to save the shaky boat of friendship between him and Zeng Zuimo, he can only speak without conscience.
If Miss Liu Er was sent by God to oppose him, making Li Yi feel that he had done something to owe her in his previous life and needed to repay it in this life, then Li Yi was extremely suspicious of what Zeng Zuimo had done in his previous life to regret him.
, which leads to him unintentionally hurting her every time.
Before the two met, because of his negligence, he made a big mistake in the portrait of her and Miss Liu Er. Later, Li Xuan dragged her to Qunyu Courtyard for the first time and ruined her performance.
Later, in order to hide from Miss Liu Er, she accidentally broke into her boudoir and saw everything that should be seen and what should not be seen. In this way, she should have owed herself a lot in her previous life.
Of course, because of the last thing, he actually felt a little guilty when facing Zeng Zuimo.
If a woman in this era is spotted by a man, in order to keep her virginity, she must either marry him, kill him, or commit suicide. Of course, marrying him is impossible. Li Yi estimates that she will look down on him with her arrogant temperament.
, but also for his and her safety, so the probability of the first event happening is zero.
And she neither wanted him to live or die, nor did she let him live or die. Not only did she keep silent about that incident, but she also helped him cover up his embarrassment in front of Miss Liu Er. A real man must avenge his revenge and repay his kindness, so
Later, before leaving, I gave her poems to help her compete for the oiran.
However, the whole story of this incident had just been learned from Wan Ruoqing's mouth, and Li Yi could only bury his head in his porridge, not even bothering to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
If Zeng Zuimo hadn't redeemed himself before those poems were spread, she might still be in the fire pit of Qunyuyuan with her skyrocketing net worth, and she would never even think about coming out in her lifetime. In other words, he almost caused it unintentionally.
A big disaster...
Li Yi secretly rejoiced in his heart. Fortunately, Zeng Zuimo had the foresight. If she had redeemed herself a little later, he would have offered her only one hundred and ten kilograms of meat in his life, but he really would not have paid her back.
Debt cleared.
In this way, she didn't even think about competing for the oiran at that time. She was just being sentimental. Not only did she not repay the favor, but she owed a bigger one, making her the leader of Qing'an Mansion and even all those who heard about it.
The absolute goddess in the hearts of poets, the star of this era, the national goddess who countless people have spent a lot of money just to see. From then on, she has been in constant trouble. She has to face countless bees and butterflies every day, and she dare not go out without wearing a mask and sunglasses.
…
Li Yi decided not to speak for the time being to avoid embarrassment. The white porridge in the bowl quickly reached the bottom, and he occupied the portion that originally belonged to Xiaozhu, trying to use eating as a reason to block his mouth.
The embarrassed expression on Zeng Zuimo's face softened slightly, and he regarded this as Li Yi's way of apologizing.
"I'm back. It's too late today. Many porridge shops are sold out. I ran half a street to buy it." Xiaozhu came in from the door carrying a food box and saw Li Yi already sitting at the table drinking.
Porridge, and then looked at Zeng Zuimo sitting opposite, his little face couldn't help but change.
However, when she learned that Li Yi had eaten up all her portion, the smile on her face became bright again, and she cast a grateful look at him, finally having enough reason to drink what she bought.
Porridge.
In order to resolve the embarrassment between the two, Wan Ruoqing glanced at Zeng Zuimo and said to Li Yi: "During this period, Zuimo has also helped us a lot. She helped draw the curtains and backgrounds of some plays.
"
Zeng Zuimo's power is limited and it is impossible to cover all theater curtains and backgrounds, but the novel and unique paintings have also attracted many customers for them.
Zeng Zuimo curled his lips and said, "I'm not really helping. It's just some useless paintings. Besides, I was paid for those things."
Wan Ruoqing smiled and said: "A painting of the Goddess of Luoshui has been sold outside for hundreds of taels of silver and is still worthless. We can't afford such a high remuneration."
Zeng Zuimo glanced at Li Yi and said that her fame and improvement in painting skills were all thanks to him. However, although her paintings are very valuable now, it is just because they are rare. If you buy them casually, you can
If you buy it, what's the difference between it and the bulk products sold at street painting stalls?
Moreover, she is not short of money at all and does not need to sell her hard work.
Li Yi was a little full now, but when he saw Zeng Zuimo's look, he knew that the boat would not capsize this time. He immediately felt that the two bowls of porridge just now were the two most meaningful bowls of porridge he had ever eaten.
He came here in the morning to hand over the manuscripts of the first few chapters of "Journey to the West" to Wan Ruoqing, so that the storytellers could get familiar with them first, and the official serialization would start tomorrow. At the same time, he had not been to the theater for a long time, and he planned to see what he has now
What is the theater like?
"I'll take you there." The nearest theater was only a few dozen steps away. Li Yi and Wan Ruoqing walked out of the door and met a group of people coming from the front.
Seeing those people, Zeng Zuimo, who was walking at the back, changed his expression, and when he was about to retreat, it was already too late.
"Miss Zui Mo, what a coincidence!"
A young man in front of him immediately came over and said with a smile on his face.
"This is the Goddess of Luoshui. It is indeed better to see her than to hear her a hundred times."
"She is indeed worthy of being a peerless beauty..."
"Miss Zui Mo, I'm going to hold a banquet at Chenxiang Tower today. I wonder if the girl can give me a favor..."

Most of these people were young men. After one person took the lead, everyone came forward one after another. They spoke to each other politely and attentively.
Some of them had seen Zeng Zuimo countless times, and their many attempts at attentiveness had not been taken seriously. Some of them came here simply because of her reputation. They only felt that although the goddess of Luoshui was extremely beautiful, she did not seem to be as beautiful as in the poem.
Exaggeration, no better than this year's leader Lu Qiaoqiao, and even on par with the woman next to him. But since she is so famous and almost everyone in Qing'an Mansion knows it, there must be a reason. Thinking about it this way, on the contrary
This aroused their curiosity even more.
Li Yi was also stunned by this sudden scene.
It's one thing to hear Wan Ruoqing talk about it, but it's another thing to see Zeng Zuimo's suitors with your own eyes. Who would have thought that in ancient times, there would be such fans who came to block their idols' doors?
Seeing how talented the young man is, he seems to have read a lot of poems and books, and yet he actually gives such lame excuses as "What a coincidence." The stupid fan really lowers his IQ...
As for the person who hosted the banquet at Chenxiang Tower--how could he invite idols to dinner so casually? He must have spent thousands of taels of silver to show his sincerity...
Seeing this scene in front of him, an idea suddenly came to Li Yi's mind.
If Zeng Zuimo's influence can be spread to the capital, then a large billboard will be erected at the entrance of every perfume shop. The sign will depict Zeng Zuimo holding perfume. It must be three-dimensional and add a slogan at the end: "
xx perfume, Miss Zui Mo has agreed to use it..."
In this way, not only will women be unable to refuse, but I am afraid it will also attract a large number of male customers - and the business will be so hot that it will go to heaven!
