The sky is slightly green, and it is drizzling.
Guangling City has woken up, many early shops in the streets and alleys have opened their doors, and smoke is coming out of the chimneys on the roof.
The door of the tavern at the east end of Erjinggou Alley also creaked open.
Li Chenan took Li Xiaohua out the door, and closed the two doors smoothly.
Facing the drizzle, the two started their morning jogs every day.
For these neighbors in Erjinggou Alley, they are used to it. After getting along these days, their attitude towards Li Chenan has of course undergone a huge change——
People don't bother to say a few words to people who are not as good as themselves, and feel that they lose their identity in that way.
Originally, these neighbors had enough sense of superiority in front of Li Chenan, but since the opening of that tavern, and since the supply of such expensive wine in that tavern has been in short supply, their sense of superiority has disappeared, but they can't generate hatred So it turned into envy.
When people look at people who are richer or more decent than themselves, they usually look up. This kind of admiration comes from admiration in their hearts, and of course it may be fear.
They will be extremely kind to express their kindness, hoping to get closer to each other.
If the other party can talk to me a few more words, I feel that my identity seems to be raised a little bit, and I can even be proud of it. When I talk to the neighbors, my waist will be straighter and my voice will be louder. Some.
Shopkeeper Zhao, who was kneading dough on the chopping board, poked his head out to take a look. In the past, Li Chen'an should go out for a run at this time, and it really is still the case today.
"Morning Mr. Li!"
"Morning Manager Zhao!"
"It's raining today, why don't you come in and sit down? The first drawer of steamed pancakes is about to come out, why don't you come and eat some first? My treat!"
"Shopkeeper Zhao is polite, come back later and eat again."
"Okay, keep the villain for the young master!"
Li Chenan and Li Xiaohua ran past his shop, he smiled triumphantly, thinking that he had to go to old Yutou after closing and talk.
Jogging all the way, the two ran out of the Erjinggou alley and passed through the Bajiao Pavilion, but Li Chenan changed direction and did not go to the Qiliqiao alley.
"Master, I was wrong!"
"That's right, let's go to the west of Huaping to have a look."
Huaping Lake is huge.
The lakeside family is on the west side of Huaping Lake.
The whole street is built along the lakeside, where there are the best teahouses, restaurants, inns and gambling houses in Guangling City.
Of course, the most famous one is the brothel there.
The Ningxiang Pavilion is there.
Located in the middle of the alley by the lakeside, it is a brothel with the largest area, the most elegant decoration, and the most beautiful girls in the building.
Li Chenan's predecessor came to this place, but he didn't go to a certain brothel, but the gold-selling gambling shop located there.
The two trotted all the way to the alley by the lake. It seemed that they were still sleeping here. Almost all the shops in the alley had not opened their doors, which seemed extremely deserted.
But in the deserted air, there is still a faint smell of extravagance from last night.
Even though it is by the Huaping Lake, it still cannot purify those smells.
The mission of the Mirror Division that Cuihua brought back yesterday was like a heavy stone on Li Chenan's heart.
He suddenly felt that the happy life he wanted to live was a bit difficult, mainly because he fell into the trap of that handsome father-in-law.
He thought about running away last night, but Cuihua said that unless you can escape from Ningguo, you will be hunted down by Li Jingsi.
Guangling City is the hinterland of Ning country, no matter which country you go to, it is very far away, so you can't run away.
What else can I do?
Bite the bullet!
But assassination is not my specialty!
What's more, I don't know what that Song Yuanping looks like.
For the time being, he hasn't thought of a good way, and today he just came to this place to have a look.
Of course Li Xiaohua didn't know anything, she just thought that the young master had earned money, and guessed it was because she wanted to ask for flowers and ask Liu in her heart.
This is of course a good thing.
When the young master goes to the brothel, he will probably bring his nursing home with him.
The young master was working in a certain girl's room in the brothel, so it would be great to listen to music outside by himself.
After all, this place was once very far away from Li Xiaohua.
The master and servant ran to the Ningxiang Pavilion, Li Chenan slowed down, only to find that the only thing erected in the street was the Ningxiang Pavilion's archway——
On the tall and majestic archway, there are three big characters of Ningxiang Pavilion.
There is also a tall flagpole on both sides of the archway, and a string of red lanterns are hung on the flagpole, but the lights inside have been extinguished at this time, and the lanterns are shaking gently in the morning breeze.
Passing through that archway is the way to Ningxiang Pavilion.
It was still a road paved with bluestone slabs, but that road was quite wide, allowing two carriages to drive side by side.
All kinds of flowers and plants are planted on both sides of that road. Those grasses are green and flowers are bright.
Then... a little further inside is a rockery pond, which divides the road in two.
I couldn't look past the rockery, I could only see the eaves of the pavilions looming on both sides of the rockery in the misty rain.
The two continued to trot forward, and next door to Ningxiang Pavilion was a restaurant called Shiheju.
The restaurant has three floors, the front door is very large, and the decoration is also very elegant.
It is the most famous restaurant in Guangling City, and it is said that the minimum price for a table is two taels of silver.
Beyond Shiheju is an inn called Shuiyunjian, and beyond this inn is the gold-selling gambling house that the predecessor once visited.
Li Chenan stopped here.
He didn't exercise here, but turned around and walked back with Li Xiaohua.
The rain gradually became heavier.
The two walked under the eaves of these shops.
When passing by Shuiyunjian, a window on the second floor of the inn happened to open.
Of course Li Chenan didn't know.
A woman's head protruded from the window. She looked around, propped up the window with a pole, and poured out a basin of water beside her.
Just at this moment, Li Chenan walked out of the eaves.
The girl exclaimed, "Dodge, dodge...!"
His Majesty?
Li Chenan raised his head, and casually responded, "My concubine...!"
The basin of water was poured on his head.
"Oh, you, I told you to avoid it, but you just..."
The girl upstairs stomped her feet anxiously. She turned around and was about to go downstairs to apologize to the young master, but unexpectedly, her arm happened to touch the pole of the window.
Li Chenan, who was wiping the water off his face, never expected such an accident this morning, the pole fell, and a "bang...!" fell on his head.
That window opened again.
The girl poked her head out again, then her eyes widened, she swallowed a mouthful of saliva, stuck out her tongue, and then she walked out through the window...
Li Chenan felt a little confused.
This is amazing!
Before the mission had any clues, I suffered such bad luck again and again!
He rubbed his head, thinking that I'm really not Ximen Qing!
