"It may be because of the two cabbage buns just now, which affected the taste..." Li Yi gulped down the unpalatable white porridge, and said, "From the perspective of gastronomy, it is best to taste the delicious food before tasting it. Don't eat any messy things..., this porridge is very good, if there is another plate of pickles or pickled cucumbers, it will be fine."
If you don’t participate, you don’t have the right to speak. If the porridge sells well, you can judge it if you spend money. It’s not the behavior of a gentleman to eat and drink other people’s porridge for free.
Although Li Yi's definition of himself is not a gentleman, but in order to save the crumbling friendship boat with Zeng Zuimo, he can only speak against his conscience.
If it is said that Miss Liu Er was sent by heaven to oppose him, making Li Yi feel that he owed her something in his previous life and needs to pay it back in this life, then Li Yi is extremely suspicious of what Zeng Zuimo did to apologize to him in his previous life , will cause me to unintentionally spoil her every time.
Before the two met, because of his negligence, he made a big oolong on the portrait of her and Miss Liu Er, and then Li Xuan dragged her to Qunyuyuan for the first time and ruined her performance. Later, in order to hide from Second Miss Liu, he accidentally broke into her boudoir, and saw everything that should be seen and shouldn't be seen. In this way, she should have owed herself a lot in her previous life.
Of course, because of the last thing, when he faced Zeng Zuimo, he was actually a little guilty.
If a woman in this era is seen by a man, in order to keep her chastity, she must either marry him, kill him, or commit suicide. Of course it is impossible to marry him. Li Yi guesses that she will definitely look down on him with her arrogant temperament , but also for the sake of his and her safety, so the probability of the first event happening is zero.
And she didn't want to die or make him die or live. Not only did she keep silent about that incident, but she also helped him cover up his embarrassment in front of Miss Liu Er. Only then did she send poems to help her compete for the top prize before she left.
However, the whole story of this matter has been learned from Wan Ruoqing just now, and Li Yi can only bury his head in the porridge, not even wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
If Zeng Zuimo hadn't redeemed himself before those poems were circulated, she might still be in the pit of fire in Qunyu Courtyard with her soaring value, and she might never even think about it in her whole life. catastrophe...
Li Yi secretly rejoiced in his heart, thanks to Zeng Zuimo's foresight, if she redeemed her body a little later, he would not only give her the one hundred catties of meat he had in his life, but it would really be worthless. Cleared the debt.
In other words, at that time, she didn't even think about competing for the oiran. She was self-indulgent. Not only did she not repay the favor, but she owed a bigger one, which made her become the leader of Qing'an Mansion and even everyone who heard those The absolute goddess in the hearts of poets, the star of this era, the national goddess who countless people spend a lot of money for just one side, has been in constant trouble since then, facing countless mad bees and butterflies every day, and dare not go out without wearing a mask and sunglasses …
Li Yi decided not to speak for the time being to avoid embarrassment. The porridge in the bowl quickly ran out, and he occupied the portion that originally belonged to Xiaozhu, trying to use eating as an excuse to gag his mouth.
The embarrassment on Zeng Zuimo's face eased slightly, and he regarded this as Li Yi's way of making amends.
"I'm back. It's too late today. Many porridge shops are sold out. I bought it after running half a street." Xiaozhu came in from the door with a food box and saw Li Yi sitting at the table drinking Congee, and looked at Zeng Zuimo who was sitting across from him, his little face involuntarily changed.
However, when she learned that Li Yi had eaten up the portion that originally belonged to her, the smile on her face became bright again, and she gave him a grateful look, and finally had a good reason to drink the food 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 time, Zuimo has also helped us a lot, and she helped draw the curtains and backgrounds of some plays. "
Zeng Zuimo's strength alone is limited, and it is impossible to take over all the theater's curtains and backgrounds, but the novel and unique paintings have also attracted many guests for them.
Zeng Zuimo curled his lips and said, "I'm not doing this as a favor, it's just some useless paintings, and besides, I'm paid for painting those things."
Wan Ruoqing smiled and said, "A painting of the Goddess of Luoshui has been carried outside for hundreds of taels of silver, and there is no market for it. We can't afford such a high reward."
Zeng Zuimo cast a glance at Li Yi, saying that her fame and painting skills were all thanks to him. However, although her paintings are very valuable now, it is only because they are scarce. If they can be bought casually, what is the difference from those high-end goods on the street painting stalls
Besides, she is not short of money at all, and she doesn't need to sell her hard work.
Li Yi was a little stuffed now, but seeing Zeng Zuimo's appearance, he knew that the boat would not capsize this time, and he immediately felt that the two bowls of porridge just now were the most meaningful two bowls of porridge he had ever eaten.
He came here in the morning to give Wan Ruoqing the manuscripts of the first few episodes of "Journey to the West", so that the storytellers can get acquainted with them first, and the official serialization will start tomorrow. What does the theater look like.
"I'll take you there." The nearest theater was only a few dozen steps away. Li Yi, Wan Ruoqing and the others walked out of the room, just in time to meet a group of people approaching from the front.
Seeing those people, Zeng Zuimo, who was walking at the back, changed his face, and when he was about to retreat, it was already too late.
"Miss Drunk Mo, what a coincidence!"
A young man who was at the front immediately greeted him, and said with a smile on his face.
"This is the Goddess of Luoshui. It really is better to see once than to hear about it."
"It is indeed a peerless beauty..."
"Miss Drunk Mo, I'm hosting a banquet in Chenxiang Tower today, I wonder if the girl will show you face..."
…
…
Most of these people are young men. After one person took the lead, everyone came forward one after another, talking to each other, polite and courteous.
Some of them have seen Zeng Zuimo countless times, and they did not pay attention to their courtship many times. Some of them came here purely because of their reputation. They only think that although the goddess of Luoshui is extremely beautiful, she does not seem to be as beautiful as in the poem. Exaggeration, no better than this year's leader Lu Qiaoqiao, even the same as the woman next to her, but since she is so famous, almost everyone in Qing'an Mansion knows it, there must be a reason, thinking about it this way, on the contrary It aroused their curiosity even more.
Li Yi was also stunned by this sudden scene.
Hearing what Wan Ruoqing said was one thing, but seeing Zeng Zuimo's suitors with his own eyes was another. Who would have thought that there were such fans who came to block their idols in ancient times
Seeing how talented that young man is, he seems to have read a lot of poetry and books, but he actually said such a lame reason as "such a coincidence", the brainless fan really dropped his IQ...
As for the person who hosted the banquet in Chenxianglou—there is no one who invites idols to dinner so casually, no matter what, he has to show his sincerity by showing his sincerity...
Seeing the scene in front of him, an idea suddenly popped up in Li Yi's mind.
If Zeng Zuimo's influence can spread to the capital, then a big billboard will be erected at the entrance of every perfume shop, with a picture of Zeng Zuimo holding the perfume on the sign, it must be three-dimensional, and finally add a slogan " xx perfume, drunk girl agrees to use it..."
In this way, not only women can't refuse, but I'm afraid it will attract a large number of male customers-the business must not be so hot!
