The girl named Xiaozhu watched Li Yi take away the remaining sweet-scented osmanthus cake together with her handkerchief, and quickly disappeared at the door with a stunned expression on her pretty face.
The story is only half told, and it stops at the most critical moment, and I can't hear the content behind, which makes people feel itchy and uncomfortable.
"Young master, you don't count your words..."
She clearly said that after eating her own sweet-scented osmanthus cake, she would tell a good story... The girl clenched her fists tightly, bit her lower lip lightly, and murmured in a low voice.
Seeing that the scholar took the reward, turned around and left neatly, several men who were attracted by the story of "Painted Skin" also froze in place.
"What the hell is this?"
I was so irritated by the story, but the storyteller ran away irresponsibly. Have you considered the feelings of the spectators
How could this young scholar be more hateful than the old storyteller on stage
"Yuzhu, who is that person?" The old man who was telling the book just now came down from the stage, walked to the girl's side, glanced in the direction of the door, and asked.
Although the story has not been finished yet, no one here has listened to him. I wanted to come over and ask for clarification, but I didn't expect the scholar who disturbed the situation to slip away so quickly.
Before the girl could reply, the man who was frightened by her just now spoke eagerly.
"Old man, don't talk about the story you just said. Can you tell "Painted Skin"? Hurry up and tell us a paragraph. You are indispensable for the reward."
The man took out a handful of copper coins from his pocket and slapped them on the table, fixed his eyes on the old man and said.
"Yes, yes, the scholar was too unruly just now, he ran away halfway through the speech, and the listeners felt itchy, so hurry up and continue where he just said."
The old man's face showed a look of astonishment, and he couldn't understand what these people said.
"What did they let themselves talk about, what the hell?"
How does he know what kind of skin it is!
…
Originally, I wanted to come here to listen to the music and watch the singing and dancing, but I didn't catch up with the good time. I met an old man who was chattering, and the only thing I got was these sweet-scented osmanthus cakes.
The sweet-scented osmanthus cake made by Wan Ruoqing really tastes good, next time I meet her, I have to ask her how to make it, and I can teach Xiaohuan when I go back. There are all kinds of snacks, in case you get hungry when you are in the county office, you can still eat a few pieces to fill your stomach first.
There was nothing left and right, so he just strolled here. This tile house can be regarded as a big entertainment place in Qing'an Prefecture. It is an extremely wide square with various tile-shed houses. In addition, there are also many merchants, with a variety of goods on both sides. Li Yi stopped for a while outside a few hooks.
It has to be said that the people in the city know how to play more than the villagers in Liuye Village, and they know how to have fun for themselves.
Although it is still daytime, there are many people gathered here, so it is a good place to pass the time.
Li Yi walked around a few more bars one after another, looked at the sky, and guessed that it was almost time to get off work. After patrolling outside for so long, it was time to go home for dinner.
Turning back and forth, passing a certain brothel, a certain girl who was standing at the door to receive customers caught her eyes and hurried forward a few steps to grab his arm.
"Young master, come in and play..."
The whining voice made Li Yi get goosebumps all over, and he hurriedly shook his arm away from her hand.
The brothels here are not as high-end as Qunyuyuan. There are no courtiers to accompany you to sing poems and songs, talk about life and ideals. The purpose of men coming here is very simple, which is to solve their physical needs.
Li Yi endured it for more than 20 years in his last life, and only experienced a few months in this world, and his physical needs were not so strong. What's more, no matter what, he couldn't explain the first time here!
Seeing that the handsome young man in front of her didn't seem to have that kind of intentions, the heavily made-up brothel woman wanted to give up, but she was unwilling to meet such an outstanding guest here. She simply gritted her teeth and said: " Young master, come with me, I... , I won't take your money."
Even though she is a prostitute, she is in the skin business, but every day when she faces those old and ugly clients, she will feel a little bored in her heart. If she can go to Wushan with such a young man, she will let him pay for it Also willing.
no charge...
Li Yi was shocked because of this sentence. It turned out that what Li Xuan said last time was not lying to him, he could really go to the brothel without paying...
But the current situation is a little different. This woman with bright eyes didn't give him such a big discount because of some poetry and articles, but probably because——he has the potential to be a good boy
As if trying to escape, she broke free from the clutches of the soliciting woman. The woman seemed very disappointed, and in the end she even revealed her intention to pay back the money. After Li Yi repeatedly apologized, she hurriedly left.
He secretly sighed in his heart, the lady in this world is really passionate...
After leaving Washi, I didn't have the intention to go shopping any more. I went back to the county government office, and went directly to the back government office to ask Lao Fang to go back together.
"My lord, Brother Fang has gone shopping." A yamen servant ran over and said when the old Fang was not there.
Lao Fang had nothing to do in the county yamen all day long, so he got acquainted with these yamen servants, calling "Brother Fang" one by one on weekdays.
"Forget it, when he comes back, tell him that I'm going back first."
Based on Li Yi's understanding of Lao Fang, after shopping on the street, he might have to shop for a long time, and he was too lazy to wait for him to come back.
I rented a carriage from a car dealership, and drove out of Fucheng slowly. At the same time, in Liuye Village, Xiaohuan's expression was a little anxious.
The little rabbit that my uncle gave her was lost.
"If you don't want to look outside again, it might be hungry and ran out." Liu Ruyi looked at her and comforted her.
"No, I just fed it in the morning."
Xiaohuan's voice was full of tears. She had raised that rabbit for a long time, and she already had feelings for it. She lost it for no reason, and felt very uncomfortable.
In the past, even if she let the rabbit out, it would only move around in the yard. Sometimes it would run out, but it would not run very far, and it would come back after a while. Today, she has searched the yard and the surrounding area. , but still nothing.
"I still haven't found it. Maybe it ran away secretly." Liu Ruyi walked in from the outside. She had already expanded the scope of her search, but she still couldn't find the rabbit.
Although Xiaohuan didn't want to believe it in her heart, she also knew that this rabbit was caught from the outside. Maybe it also had its own family. If someone wanted to separate Xiaohuan from Miss and Uncle, she would be very sad.
"I hope the little rabbit can find her family..." the little maid sighed and murmured.
…
"My lord, am I still waiting here tomorrow morning?" The clerk of the car dealer sent Li Yi down the mountain. There was a mountain road ahead, and asked before leaving.
"No need." Li Yi waved his hand. Last time he shoed that horse, that guy seemed to be frightened. He never ran wild in front of him again. He honestly stopped jumping around and went out tomorrow. time, you can ride it.
The man drove the carriage back, and Li Yi walked on the mountain road alone, thinking that he would have to walk a long distance to return to the stockade, and his dream of buying a big house in the city must be realized as soon as possible.
Liuye Village used to be a bandit village. When building the village, it was natural to consider whether it would be easily taken down by the government. The roads along the way are rugged mountain roads, and some places can only accommodate one person and one horse. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. As a bandit village, the location is not bad. But as a village, hiding in the mountains, it is extremely difficult to travel, and it makes sense that generations of people are so poor.
"Hehe, County Lieutenant Li, what's the matter, why didn't Third Fang follow you today?"
Li Yi walked through a dense forest, and suddenly there was a sound from the forest. He paused, looked up, and saw a person walking out of the forest, looking at him with a half-smile.
