Shenzhou Town Demon Records

Chapter 778
"Yue Chongshan's condition fluctuated from good to bad. It dragged on from the eve of the winter solstice to the end of the new year. After all, he still couldn't make it through. When he was dying, he was unconscious and couldn't even feed him soup. Being a ball of skin and bones really made Shu Qianping very sad."

"On the day Yue Chongshan passed away, Shu Qianping had no place to mourn. She knew that her energy was limited, so she suspended the restaurant business and devoted herself to organizing the funeral for her adoptive father."

"Jin Jiansheng is still by Shu Qianping's side, and countless human, material and financial resources have been invested. At least let Yue Chongshan be buried in peace."

"Yue Chongshan's first seven just happened to be on New Year's Eve. Shu Qianping cooked a table of delicious dishes, and then invited Jin Jiansheng to thank him solemnly."

"After drinking three times and eating five flavors, Shu Qianping made up her mind and said that she wanted to donate Shanhai Restaurant to Jin Jiansheng in order to repay him for his help."

"Jin Jiansheng refused straight away, claiming that he is not a kind person, if Shu Qianping insists on repaying, the future food and drink expenses will be halved."

"Shu Qianping's repeated negotiations were fruitless, so she could only follow Jin Jiansheng's wishes. Shanhai Restaurant reopened after the Lantern Festival, and Jin Jiansheng still came to patronize it every day."

"During the period, Green Peony also came to the door to persuade Shu Qianping to show her dancing skills. With her superb skills, she will definitely become famous. However, Shu Qianping has her own plan and bluntly said that she will be a filial piety for Yue Chongshan for three years. There is nothing wrong with dancing. Mention it."

"Unknowingly, it's the Qixi Festival again. Jin Jiansheng still sent a set of precious dance clothes, and Shu Qianping still politely declined. This undeliverable gift seemed to become a unique bond, linking the two together .”

"The second year, the third year, the familiar Qixi Festival, the familiar gift, the familiar rejection, the familiar guest is still rain or shine, nothing seems to have changed, only the passing of time."

"In the spring of the fourth year, when Shu Qianping's filial piety period expired, Green Peony was still thinking about it, and came to her door to bring up the old matter again."

"This time Shu Qianping finally let go and is willing to follow Green Peony to regain her dancing skills. Green Peony is full of joy and uses her skills to cultivate Shu Qianping with all her strength."

"After the Cold Food Festival, Luoyang held a peony festival. Suddenly, there were a lot of flowers, and the whole city was filled with the fragrance of peonies. Many dignitaries, literati and scholars came to enjoy it."

"Green Peony waited for the right time and arranged for Shu Qianping to 'return to the rivers and lakes' and dance with her at Shanhai Restaurant."

"The guests who had admired Shu Qianping's dance in the past were overjoyed to hear the news. In addition, there was also a performance by Green Peony on the same stage. The Shanhai Restaurant was full of customers that night, and the scene was very hot."

"Shu Qianping and Lu Mudan have been rehearsing for many days, and they have already mastered all the key points by heart. The two joined forces to present a neon dress and feather dance, which attracted thunderous applause from the audience."

"Especially Shu Qianping's pink dress is elegant and elegant, just like the king of peonies in full bloom, and her charm is even better than that of green peonies."

"The first cooperation was a success. Shu Qianping and Lv Mudan took advantage of the heat and performed their performances for several days, and their reputation spread quickly."

"Until the last day of the Peony Flower Festival, a distinguished guest came to Shanhai Restaurant. Because it involves taboos, it is difficult to say his name directly, so let's call him 'Ling Feng'."

Hearing what Wu Cuishan said, Mu Yun and Xiao Lei couldn't help but look at each other, knowing that the so-called "Ling Feng" is the current King of Jinyang, Wei Zhengqing.

The "Poor God" Lu Buping also mentioned that day that Wei Zhengqing and Shu Qianping had a close relationship, and they knew her before Ye Xingge, so it seems that this was the beginning.

"This young master 'Ling Feng' has a noble status and a particularly suave temperament. I have watched Shu Qianping's dance that night, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was astonished."

"Actually, 'Ling Feng' is Lu Mudan's guest of honor. This time, Lu Mudan invited him to help Shu Qianping become famous."

"At that time, 'Lingfeng' and Green Peony were so good, it was just the time for you and me, and I really admired Shu Qianping's dancing posture, so I simply swiped my pen and wrote "Luoyang Flower" After the four-character plaque, it was stamped with its own private seal "Feng Yan Mo Ke", which was presented to Shu Qianping on the spot."

"It should be known that 'Ling Feng' is not only distinguished, but also proficient in reciting poems, playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is very prestigious among literati."

"That plaque was made by 'Ling Feng', and its value is really incalculable. Shu Qianping's reputation as the 'Queen of Luoyang Flower' will be known throughout the city within a day."

"Since then, Shu Qianping's dance performance has become the golden signboard of Shanhai Restaurant, and the business of the restaurant has become more and more prosperous. Especially in the Duanyang celebration that year, even the Luoyang government office specially invited her to perform dances."

"But just a few days after the Duanyang Festival, a catastrophe happened in Luoyang City. A blazing meteor fell to the east of the city. Several Lifangs were burned to the ground, and Jin Jiansheng's family was among them."

"Jin Jiansheng went out of the city to visit his friends that night. At least he escaped a fatal catastrophe. The rest of the old and the young were unlucky, and they all died in the sea of ​​flames."

"Three generations of the Jin family in Luoyang have worked hard to save the houses and properties that have disappeared, leaving only broken bricks, rotten tiles, and ruins. It's really desolate."

"It just so happened that that year coincided with Grandpa Cheng's fiftieth birthday. The Luoyang government commissioned the Jin family to sew a beautiful picture of mountains and rivers as a birthday present for Mian Sheng in Beijing. The line clearly states that more materials will be refunded and less will be replenished, and if it is found that the material is being embezzled and concealed, it will be severely punished."

"Although the fire was purely a natural disaster, since the Jin family took over the errand, of course all the consequences are at their own risk. Now that the materials have been burned, not only can't produce the beautiful map of Jiangshan, but also owes a huge sum of money to the Luoyang government. You can imagine how difficult it is to be homeless."

"When Jin Jiansheng was at the end of his life, Shu Qianping extended a helping hand without hesitation. She first sold Shanhai Restaurant and helped Jin Jiansheng repay half of the debt, so as to prevent him from being seized and punished by the government. Then she asked Lu Peony to join the Jiaofang Secretary Show your skills and raise more silver taels as soon as possible."

"Although Lu Mudan can't bear it, but Shu Qianping has made up her mind, so she can only try her best to talk about it."

"After all, the reputation of 'Luoyang Flower Empress' spread far and wide, and the Jiaofang Secretary couldn't wait for it. In the end, the two parties reached an agreement. Shu Qianping was naturalized as a nobleman, and she only served them with music and dancing. The remuneration was shared equally with the Jiaofang Secretary."

"Compared to ordinary happy households, these conditions are quite generous, but Jin Jiansheng has been kept in the dark. It was not until the end of the day that Shu Qianping confessed to him, and told him not to lose heart, and he will be able to bear hardships in the future."

"Knowing that Shu Qianping made such a great sacrifice, Jin Jiansheng felt ashamed and decided to renew his life. Since then, he has been working day and night with needles and threads, re-sewing the beautiful picture of Jiangshan, vowing to make up for the lack of materials with superb skills."

"Finally, Jin Jiansheng handed in the beautiful map of the mountains and rivers as scheduled before the magistrate came to Beijing to meet the saint. Finally, he avoided a prison sentence. At that time, summer turned to autumn, and there were only three days left before the Qixi Festival."
