Zhongli Ruoshui sat across from Ning Chuchu, and under Ning Chuchu's shocked gaze, she twisted up the teapot on the table, tilted her neck, and drank without any image.
She drank up the pot of tea, took a handkerchief from her sleeve pocket and wiped her small mouth before exhaling a long breath.
"It's killing me!"
Ning Chuchu asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"
Zhongli Ruoshui smiled and leaned over, "That scene was perfect!"
"...you really did that?"
Zhongli Ruoshui raised his eyebrows, and said proudly, "Since I have said it, I will do it!"
"However, in this way, what I mean is that if the news gets out, you will be tied to him, and Zhongli Mansion will have a relationship with him."
"Have you ever thought about what if, I mean, what if after some contact you find out that he is not your good match, it won't do your reputation any good at all!"
"Once someone with a heart knows about his relationship with Zhongli Mansion, will they use him to harm Zhongli Mansion?"
"It's a big deal. Would you like to discuss it with your father?"
The corner of Zhongli Ruoshui's mouth twitched, "You said this, in fact, I have already figured it out these days, otherwise this drama would not have dragged on until today."
"Grandma once said that the simpler things like feelings, the better. Don't mix them with other things. For example, family status, family background, and identity."
"She said that feelings are a very pure thing. If you mix those things into it, it will become extremely complicated. In the end, you will find that the husband-in-law you choose is not your original intention at all."
"The person you marry is not the person you like out of your heart, but you are married to power, status or interests!"
"Then you will have different dreams in the same bed, you will be lost, you will be indifferent, and in the end it is yourself who is wrong."
"Besides, if you want to know if he is my good match, it will take a long time of contact. I am here in Peach Blossom Villa, and he is in that tavern. How can you say that we have much contact?"
"If there is no contact, there is no further understanding, so why don't we just let this matter go? Then should I marry or not?"
"Also, if someone really wants to use him to harm Zhongli Mansion..."
Zhongli Ruoshui looked up at the darkening night sky, "Zhongli's mansion is not a vegetarian, even if my father doesn't help me, I still have my grandma to support me, what am I afraid of?"
Ning Chuchu took a deep breath, she disagreed with Zhongli Ruoshui's words.
She still firmly believes that the gap between classes is an insurmountable gap, which involves each other's family background, each other's living habits, and each other's values and so on.
But after thinking about it carefully, Zhongli Ruoshui has everything she needs, but she still has a good grandmother who is in charge of her.
Maybe she can really marry the so-called love.
So instead of persuading Zhongli Ruoshui, she asked, "So, he already knows that you are the third lady of Zhongli Mansion?"
"whee..."
Zhongli Ruoshui covered his mouth and gave a shy smile, "No, that wood looks smart but is actually a bit dull."
"I lied to him, I told him my name is Zhong Ruoruo."
"He believed it?"
"Of course, I'll tell you, it's interesting..."
...
...
Li Chenan remembered the name Zhong Ruoruo.
It was already late when he returned to the tavern in Erjinggou Alley in that carriage, and when he stepped into the door of the tavern, he found that Li Xiaohua had already returned.
It seems that the young man who drank his wine for nothing kept his word.
"Have you been wronged?"
Li Xiaohua smiled foolishly and shook her head, "Master, it's a bit strange."
"What's so strange?"
"After we were taken to the government office by those officials, I was released not long after, and no one interrogated me."
"When I came out, I found that there were still a few people who had been released. They were the men in black who wanted to kill the young lady."
"I stayed at the entrance of the government office for a while, but I didn't see the few bastards who went to our tavern to make troubles were released, but a policeman came out, who seemed to be called Chen Ergou or something."
"He said something to me."
Li Chen'an was startled, Second Brother Chen knew the head of the cops, and these days he often brought a few cops around Erjinggou Alley.
"What did he say?"
"He said, ask the villain to bring a word to the young master, saying that someone is a little jealous of the young master's tavern, so let those people from the ax gang come to the shop to make trouble."
Li Chenan frowned, "Who is it?"
"Catcher Chen quickly said that he is still on trial. If there is any news, he will come and tell the young master."
"I see...Xiao Hua,"
"ah?"
"What weapon do you like to use?"
"knife!"
"Tomorrow you go to Blacksmith Duan and ask him to make a knife. You use the knife that is handy!"
"Thank you, young master!"
Li Chenan stepped into the backyard, but found a person sitting in front of the stone table in the backyard.
Su Muxin!
Su Muxin raised her eyes to look at Li Chen'an, and said calmly, "The teacher left, and left me here."
"The teacher said let me stay by your side for a while."
"I have been in Qianmo Academy for the past two days, and I have been thinking about it for two days."
"I wonder why the teacher wants me to stay here? I wonder why the teacher wants me to stay with you for a while."
"I figured it out just now."
Before he finished speaking, Li Chenan sat across from him and raised a hand to interrupt him.
"etc!"
"I don't make a lot of money in this tavern. Since Brother Hua asked you to stay here, of course I can't refuse, but let's put our ugly words first, and I can do what I have to do, but I won't pay you money! "
Su Mu was stunned, why is this person so shameless? !
Do you want to lose Master Ben in vain?
"...Don't you think that I, Su Muxin, don't know how much money you can make in this small tavern every day? Why? Do you want me to do it for nothing? With me, Su Muxin, there will be many students from the Qianmo Academy opposite, you little The business of the tavern will improve a lot, you must give me four taels of silver per month!"
Li Chenan glared at him, "No way!"
"My tavern has ten catties of wine every day, and I don't have to worry about selling them at all!"
"I don't need to use your name to recruit those students to support me, so... either you stay as I said, or you go to the capital to find Brother Hua... Besides, according to your seniority, you have to call me a little boy." Does Uncle Master know?"
Su Muxin's whole body is not well.
His face was flushed red, but he was still speechless.
The tavern business really didn't need his name.
According to his seniority, he really should call Li Chen'an a junior uncle.
But he is not reconciled!
The dignified leader of the four great talents in Kyoto was actually reduced to working as a waiter in a small alley in Guangling City.
Still the kind with no monthly money!
If this spread, those old friends in Kyoto would laugh their ass off.
But the teacher's order cannot be disobeyed, this guy will eat himself to death.
"You are shameless!"
Li Chenan shrugged his shoulders indifferently,
"Guanfan, you still have to live in Qianmo Academy for the time being, because my small courtyard is already very crowded."
Li Chen'an stood up, walked to Su Muxin's side, and patted him on the shoulder, "Xiao Su, you just said that you figured it out after two days of thinking, what did you want to understand?"
"I want to die now!"
"Why would the teacher call you brothers and sisters?"
