Back in Xingqing, Zhao Ran continued to seize the time to practice the Merit Sutra. After transforming all the merit power in his body, he felt that his cultivation had further improved and he was in a good mood.
In the evening, Zhao Ran strolled over to the restaurant. As soon as he came back today, he received a notification from Liang Xingxia, saying that tonight, in Weiai's private room, Gao Yameni, Yeli Huaide wanted to have a drink with him.
Cui Niang has been busy upstairs and downstairs like a butterfly in a flower. Her confidence and sophistication have lifted her whole body. Coupled with her charming face and curvy figure, even Zhao Ran looked at her.
I couldn't help but feel excited.
The female shopkeeper of the Jinbo Club Restaurant has really enjoyed her life this year. She actually has a sense of repaying gratitude, twisting her small waist and grabbing Zhao Ran.
The arm: "Dong Cheng's family has been out for the past few days, and the slave family has been extremely panicked."
Zhao Ran smiled, feeling the elasticity of her chest with his arms, and let her pull her towards Wei Aipi's private room: "We haven't seen you for a few days, Cui Niang has become more and more beautiful, and she acts more like a strong woman."
Cui Niang looked at her with charming eyes and said in a disgusted voice: "It's not because of the Chengdong family. Without the Chengdong family, there would be no slave today. The slave's promise is still valid. If the Chengdong family wants to be here one day, the slave will definitely come and serve me."
Zhao Ran laughed and interrupted: "You don't dare. You are Gao Yanei's pet peeve. How dare Cheng touch you? As the saying goes, friends' wives should not be played with. You and I are not destined to be together."
Talking and laughing, they entered the private room. Gao Yanei, Yeli Huaide and Liang Xingxia were all sitting inside. They were talking and laughing. Cui Niang sat down in Gao Yanei's arms and said to Yeli Huaide: "Little Marquis,
Should we continue to ask Chun Niang to come over and keep us company?"
Ye Li Huaide said: "Don't worry, wait until she finishes playing the music downstairs before coming up."
Zhao Ran asked: "What is the topic of tonight's gathering? Who did the young marquis like just now? Which Chun Niang?"
Liang Xingxia laughed and explained to Zhao Ran: "The new one here in the past few days can play the pipa well and is a better person! His figure and softness really make me miss him!"
Gao Yanei said: "Since Cheng Dong's family is here, let's have a banquet. Tonight is about two things. The first one is that early this morning, hundreds of sergeants from the Chaoshun Supervision Military Division in the right wing blocked the door of Li Mansion and caused trouble.
, and also beat up the two stewards of Li Mansion. Let’s have three drinks for this first!”
In Xingqing Mansion, most people say Li Mansion, which refers to the residence of the Li brothers. The elder brother Li Zhizhong is from Zhongshushe, and the younger brother Li Liangfu is the commander of the Youxiang Dynasty Shun Supervisory Army, which is composed of Han people. One of them is civil and the other is military.
All important ministers.
Zhao Ran was very surprised, how could these hundreds of sergeants dare to block the door of their immediate boss's house and beat someone?
As Gao Yanei explained with a laugh, these hundreds of sergeants revealed a big secret: the Chaoshun Supervisory Army Division in the right wing had not been paid for two months!
Zhao Ran understood it as soon as he heard it. No need to ask, the huge amount of silver that the two brothers invested in the hype of Xuelian must have been the salary of the sergeant of the Chaoshun Supervisory Army in the right wing. Now Xuelian is worthless, and all the money invested is firmly trapped.
Without money to pay, there would be no reason for the sergeants not to cause trouble.
"Then what will happen next? How will Mr. Li clean up his affairs?"
Gao Yanei laughed and said: "I don't know, let's just watch the joke. What my lord wants is that others will take the lead, and we just stay back. If we can make up for it, we will make up for it. If we can't, we will just watch the fun."
Zhao Ran asked again: "It is indeed a happy event, a joy that is welcome to hear and see!"
Everyone laughed, and Zhao Ran asked again: "Where is this second one?"
Gao Yanei pointed at Ye Lihuaide and said, "Practice it for him."
Yeli Huaide said to Zhao Ran: "I have been stalling with the Xingqing Mansion for more than half a year. The men have also been training in Shizhou. It's time to go into battle and practice. If you don't leave, the adults in the family will not agree.
"
Zhao Ran raised his glass to Ye Li Huaide and said, "Then I wish the young Marquis a great success!" After finishing the drink, he asked, "When will the young Marquis set off?"
Yeli Huaide said: "We will set off in three days. We will go directly to the Southeast Supervisory Army Division to meet up with the men, and then go to Baima Mountain."
Zhao Ran sighed: "Cheng also plans to return to Daming in the near future. After all, he has been away for more than a year and wants to go back to see his family."
Ye Lihuaide asked: "Do you want to come with me this time?"
Zhao Ran shook his head: "The young Marquis left in a hurry, I still need some time to prepare. By the way, Yanei, Third Brother Liang and the young Marquis need anything from Ming Dynasty. Please make an order for me and I will give it to you."
Everyone, bring it back. Cui Niang, if you like any rouge or gouache, just tell me."
Everyone laughed and said thank you.
In the middle of the banquet, Cui Niang went out for a while and brought in a dressed-up girl holding a pipa. She said to Zhao Ran: "This is the new red-brand Chun Niang in the restaurant. She was singing in Yanhui Tower. I accidentally
I discovered it and invited her over, and it was a blockbuster!"
Liang Xingxia praised: "Cui Niang still has a good eye and is good at discovering rough jade."
Cuiniang said proudly: "Chunniang is not only beautiful, she can also play the pipa extremely well, and her conduct is even more virtuous. Maybe the Chengdong family doesn't know that Chunniang came all the way from the Ming Dynasty with a very difficult journey. She took her old father with her, dragging a stupid girl with her.
Brother, it’s really not easy for her to take care of everything.”
Ye Lihuaide asked: "Chun Niang is so pitiful and amiable. What happened to what I told you last time? Her father and younger brother have been properly settled?"
Cuiniang said hurriedly: "Don't worry, little Marquis, I won't do my best for the person you like. The courtyard has also been rented for them, and her father has also arranged the work of a musician. Her silly brother, everything is in order."
Appropriately."
Chun Niang said a blessing to Zhao Ran: "I have met Cheng Dong's family." She also thanked several people respectively: "Thank you Cui Niang, thank you Mr. Hou, thank you Yanei, thank you Liang Dong's family." She was full of softness and charm.
, instantly filled the entire private room.
Ye Lihuaide laughed: "Chun Niang, come and sit next to me."
Cui Niang said to her kindly: "Chun Niang, you are so lucky to be attracted by the young Marquis! In a few days, the young Marquis will lead the army to fight the enemy. Chun Niang will play a song for the young Marquis.
, to act vigorously."
Chun Niang leaned over and sat down, looking around. Her eyes were rippling, and she saw Gao Yanei laughing loudly, Liang Xingxia swallowing his saliva, Yeli Huaide stunned, and Zhao Ran opening his mouth wide and speechless.
Come.
Chun Niang tuned the strings and waved her hands, and a song of the General's Order flowed out from the pipa, and everyone was mesmerized by it.
Only Zhao Ran was not thinking about the music. He pulled Yeli Huaide aside: "Little Marquis...Little Marquis...Little Marquis!"
Ye Li Huaide turned his head and said blankly: "What?"
Zhao Ran said: "I just thought about it and decided to go with the young Marquis. Cheng has been away from home for more than a year and misses her so much that he wants to go back for a visit early..."
