Cuixiang Tower was built on the basis of the original Wangjiang Tower. It was more magnificent and luxurious than the original Wangjiang Tower. It soon became a unique scenery in Shouchun City. The roof of Cuixiang Tower can be seen from a few streets away.
.
Liu Jian felt very accomplished. Standing in front of Cuixiang Building, Liu Jian could imagine how busy the place would be on the opening day. Unfortunately, the people of Shouchun have become panicked recently because of the comet incident. Many craftsmen have asked Liu Jian
Jian submitted his resignation, saying that he was going to visit relatives, but in fact he was planning to leave the city to avoid trouble. According to Liu Jian's wishes, a whip could make these guys become honest, but Su Ren agreed to their request.
Su Ren paid for the construction of the building, and he, Liu Jian, was the supervisor. Since it was Su Ren's decision, Liu Jian couldn't say anything: "With so many craftsmen gone, the completion date may be delayed again."
Su Rendao: "What does it matter if we delay it for a few days? Besides, people in Shouchun City are now panicked. Even if it is built, it cannot be opened. Let's wait!"
Liu Jian nodded: "That's all. By the way, a group of people came yesterday and said they were from Lu'an. They were sent by Mr. Jia. There were a lot of men and women."
"Here so soon? Where is the person?"
"I arranged to go to the inn."
"Okay!" Su Ren looked excited: "They are all from Lu'an Cuixiang Building. They came here specifically to help us run Shouchun Cuixiang Building. With them, the business will definitely get better!"
When he saw the Cuixianglou guys from Lu'an, Su Ren's face became a little unnatural. It was hard to say too much in front of Liu Jian, so after saying some comfort and encouragement, he found an interface to talk to Liu Jian.
Healthy branches open.
"Why are you? Where are the people I transferred from Lu'an?"
Bei Gongjin smiled: "It's us. Shopkeeper Jia has agreed to let us help run Cuixiang Building in Shouchun."
Su Ren frowned. Bei Gongjin introduced the people behind him to Su Ren one by one: "This is the boss, Old Dog, this is Mr. Liu Kui, the accountant, and these are the waiters and the cooks in the back kitchen."
Mom, what about me? Let’s count myself as the head chef.”
Su Ren slapped himself hard on the forehead with a grimace on his face.
Bei Gongjin chuckled: "It's not difficult to run a wine shop. We have run many wine shops in Qingyun Mountain over the years, otherwise we wouldn't be alive today. Shopkeeper Jia also told us what Cuixianglou should do and not do.
We know exactly what to do."
Su Ren was completely speechless. He didn't know what kind of ecstasy soup Bei Gongjin poured into Lao Jia. The old man actually said everything. Su Ren couldn't stop him even if he wanted to. He took a deep breath and said, "Forget it, now that I'm here
Then don’t cause trouble, don’t cause trouble!”
Liu Kui nodded slightly: "Don't worry, Mr. Su, we will know what to do."
"That's good." Su Ren was a little helpless. He sent Bei Gongjin and others to Lu'an to let them learn a trade. After rescuing those family members in the future, he could also find a job to make a living. He never expected that
After such a big mistake, these people came to Shouchun blatantly. Although the most dangerous place is the safest, it is too dangerous. If Liu An knew about it, you can imagine the consequences.
"I have inquired about the whereabouts of your family members, and the specific location is still being traced, but please don't interfere in this matter. Since Lao Jia allows you to come, I just hope you can help me. No one is allowed to act alone without my order.
." These people have all been bandits, whether they were forced or voluntary. Over the past few years, the wildness in their hearts has been stimulated, so Su Ren emphasized it again and again to avoid any mistakes.
Liu Kui and Bei Gongjin were left behind, and the others were sent to rest. After learning that the family members had been found, everyone was happy and nervous. They were happy that they would be reunited with their families soon, but they were nervous about whether they could successfully rescue them.
Come out. Bei Gongjin is the boss of the copycat, and Liu Kui is the think tank of the copycat. Su Ren must explain to these two how important it is to restrain their subordinates.
"Don't do stupid things. This is not Qingyun Mountain."
"Mr. Su, you don't need to be so cautious. We had already thought about it when we came here. We will definitely act according to your instructions, and we won't say a word even if we die."
"It's not a matter of death. It's good for everyone if we all fulfill our duties." He drank some water and looked into the yard. There were a lot of people coming, some he knew and some he didn't know. Liu Jian had booked the inn, since it was
Liu Jian paid special attention to Su Ren's people.
"How many people came this time?"
"Fifty-three people, including forty people from Qingyun Mountain, are all absolute confidants. Sir, you can rest assured."
"Forty people, fortunately not a lot, but we still have to show up less to avoid accidents."
Bei Gongjin nodded: "They are all new faces. The people here have never shown up in Shouchun, no one knows them."
"It's hard to say. Your reputation in Qingyun Mountain is not small. At least those merchants traveling between Hengshan and Huainan have suffered at your hands. It's impossible to say that you don't recognize any of them. It will be very troublesome if you recognize them.
It’s better to be careful.”
Liu Kui said: "We have also considered this. All the people in the outer hall are my husband's people. We are only in the backyard. Lao Gou opened a wine shop back then. My appearance is no longer what it used to be. Unless Liu An comes in person, no one will recognize me."
."
"You can make up your mind. I won't say anything. Then just stay in the inn and wait for the day when Cuixiang Tower opens!"
Cuixiang Building has finally been completed. The whole building is three stories high and has a basement. The lobby on the first floor is a place for individual guests to eat and drink. The square tables and long chairs make all the diners’ eyesight shine. Directly opposite
A small platform with a height of two feet was set up in front of the gate, and people would usually invite people to perform songs and dances, so that the Lower Riba people who had no chance to appreciate elegant dance could also see what music and dance are.
Follow the wooden stairs to the left and right of the stage to go up to the second floor. The design of the second floor is also very exquisite. The partitions in a circle only surround three sides, leaving an opening towards the lobby. Sitting upstairs, you can not only view from the window
Seeing the situation on the street, you can also clearly appreciate the singing and dancing on the stage when you turn around, which is very interesting.
The third floor is the most luxurious floor. All the small rooms built here are small, ranging in size from three to five people to dozens of people. This is a wealthy area. As long as you are willing to pay, Cuixiang Building can
We will provide you with absolutely first-class wine, food and unique performances.
Of course, Cuixiang House is different from those brothels. The singers here are really performing arts and not selling themselves, and they will not accompany guests to drink alone. Anyone who is a coward, no matter who you are, will be picked on immediately.
You throw it on the street and explain your glorious deeds to the people watching by name.
Bei Gongjin was very busy. Seeing the opening day of Cuixiang Building approaching, as the head kitchen manager, she wore a big apron and pulled her hair up high. She stood in the backyard and directed the men and women to spin like a top. Su Ren
Sitting in the corridor drinking with Liu Kui, Su Ren saw Liu Kui staring at Bei Gong Jin intently. Su Ren's bad taste suddenly arose: "Mr. Liu, I think you and Mrs. Bei Gong are quite suitable."
Liu Kui nodded subconsciously and understood immediately. He waved his hand and pointed at himself and said, "Is it just me? Besides, I am over fifty years old, and the leader of the village is just..."
"You just tell me whether you want it or not? Age, appearance, money, power, these are all nonsense!"
Liu Kui shook his head: "For those who are still alive, it is a gift from God to be alive. We don't dare to hope for anything else."
"God lets you live just to live for your Liu family. Why do you live instead of others? You are alone, and Mrs. Beigong is alone. It can be said that you two have supported each other for so many years. Is it possible?
Don’t have any ideas? Don’t lie to me, tell the truth!”
"Haha!" Liu Kui smiled but said nothing.
Bei Gongjin gave those men and women a lesson and walked over. Without saying a word, he picked up the wine bowl in front of Liu Kui and drank it all. With a smile on his face, Su Ren poured wine into the bowl again: "Bei Gongjin
Madam Gong has indeed worked in a wine shop, and from what you just said is very clear, I guess you said something wrong last time."
"That's because my father opened a wine shop back then, but no one knew about it."
"That's it." Su Ren suddenly sighed: "It's a pity that things have changed, and fate has its way with people!"
This sentence made the atmosphere cool down. Liu Kui and Bei Gongjin thought of the past at the same time, and the tragic scene of family destruction and death appeared in their minds. Bei Gongjin felt depressed and picked up the wine bowl again.
"Mrs. Beigong has never thought about remarrying? How about I introduce you to one?"
"Pfft...!" Bei Gongjin spit out a mouthful of wine and sprayed it all over Liu Kui.
Women's remarriage has not been a problem since ancient times. In that era when the birth rate and survival rate of children were low, if a strong woman became a widow at a young age and did not remarry, she would be forced by the government to remarry. Only after the emergence of the Three Cardinal Guidelines and Five Constant Principles of Confucianism,
The so-called scholars regard chaste and martyrdom as the moral code that women must abide by. Before that, it was not a big deal for women to remarry.
Not to mention, the Queen Mother, the mother of the current emperor Liu Che, had been married before marrying Emperor Jing, and had given birth to a daughter. Going back further, the experience of Liu Bang's favorite concubine Bo Ji was even more bizarre. Not only had she married
Only Liu Bang was left with a son, who later became the Queen Mother.
"Hahaha..." Bei Gongjin laughed: "Who do you want to introduce, sir?"
Su Rendao: "Speaking of which, you know this man. He was also a young master. Later, by chance, he was in trouble. He was rescued when he was in danger. He only wanted to restore the country and instigated the master's family to rebel. However, he became a bandit before he could do it.
, As I grow older, my ambitions become smaller and smaller, and I just want to live a normal life; but..." Su Ren changed the topic: "I have just met this person not long ago, and I don't know him very well. As for whether it is what he said, I don't know.
I know, but I don’t know anything about his character. The biggest problem is that this man is much older than my wife, and he looks miserable. It’s hard to say how long he can live!”
Su Ren kept staring at Bei Gongjin. If Bei Gongjin didn't understand at first, he would be a fool if he still didn't understand after talking so much. Bei Gongjin turned to look at Liu Kui, who smiled at her.
"What do you think, madam?" Su Ren said with a smile. (To be continued)
