The heavens begin from the golden years

Chapter 429 Zhang Haohao was exposed just after his affectionate confession to Zhao Paner
At the same time, in the major teahouses in Chatang Alley, all the guests were talking about the half-covered teahouse that was born out of nowhere.

"250 Wen, a full 250 Wen, aren't they stealing money?"

"It's the same dragon and phoenix tuan. The Tea Soup Lane only sells for 250 renminbi, but they actually sell it for [-] renminbi. It's just served in different tea cups, but they are sold at such a high price. Isn't this the behavior of profiteers?"

At this moment, He Si, who was dressed as a literati, gently waved an origami fan and asked with a smile:
"Brother, how does the half-covered tea you mentioned earlier compare with this place?"

The man thought about it for a while, and finally nodded and admitted:

"The taste is indeed better than the ones here!"

"Boss, check out!"

He Si immediately stood up, as if he couldn't wait to go to the half-hidden tea house to drink tea. He looked at the original scholar and asked with a smile:
"Brother, where is this half-covered tea house located?"

"It's so expensive, do you still want to go?"

"That's natural. A famous person like me will naturally drink more expensive tea. The wine that Li Taibai drank is naturally more expensive than other places. I also heard that the collection of half-masks is complete. A complete set of imperial porcelain that generations of officials have loved. If this imperial porcelain is broken, one is missing. Moreover, I have been drinking tea in this tea soup alley for more than ten years. If you don’t get tired of it, I will get tired of it. Look at the set of nine imperial porcelains, it’s not a loss to feast your eyes on it, what is it called? This makes the emperor’s daughter not worry about marrying!”

"Fatty, what are you talking about?"

Just when He Si was talking, the clerk of Qingmingfang poured a basin of cold water on him from upstairs, scaring He Si so much that he fled without forgetting to invite the guests:

"If you go late, there will be no more, everyone, go and have a look!"

"Go, take a look!"

"Go, go!"

In no time, more than half of the guests in Qingmingfang left, and so did the rest of the teahouses. The little girl selling flowers, the storyteller, and the children playing in the street were all talking about the half-hidden faces of Ma Xing Street. Soon, more and more people flocked to Ma Xing Street. There were more than 100 literati holding folding fans alone, and there were even more people watching the excitement. It is completely famous in the tea house in Tokyo, and everyone has different opinions. The half-covered tea and fruit are excellent, but the price is also extremely expensive. Ordinary people are discouraged, but those literati are flocking to it. For this, The colleagues in Tea Soup Lane hated their teeth so much, because not only did the half mask break the rules, it broke the market price, and they even sent people to their shop to attract customers.

The sun is setting and the sun is setting and the twilight is dim. Compared with the previous ones, the reopened half-covered tea house can be said to be a prosperous business. It is making a lot of money every day. Zhao Paner sent the last group of guests out. At this time, He Si, dressed as a scholar Walking in from outside the tea house, he said with a smile:

"Ms. Zhao, am I doing okay?"

"Thanks to you today, continue tomorrow!"

Zhao Pan'er stuffed He Si with a heavy purse and said with a smile:

"But don't say that we are better than other families in Chatang Lane, so as not to attract grudges!"

"Hey, easy to say!"

He Si opened the purse and took a look, then smiled and said:

"Ms. Zhao, you are much more straightforward than our yamen. You are the most generous person in our yamen!"

Zhao Pan'er smiled, looked at the smiling He Sile and said:

"The mouth is so sweet, do you want to cheat the fruit again?"

"no!"

He Si laughed and said:

"It's our house. My birthday is coming soon. I don't know what gift to give, and I don't have anything to show for it. Look at this, hehe!"

"I've already prepared it for you, just wait!"

Seeing through He Si's careful thinking, Zhao Pan'er brought two boxes of beautifully packaged fruits from the back kitchen, handed them to the greedy He Si and said with a smile:
"Hey, one box is for you, and the other box is for your Chi Yamen, don't eat them all!"

"Alright, thank you Mrs. Zhao!"

After a busy day, Yuan Xudong and Zhao Paner returned home. After dinner, they sat under the gazebo in the garden and calculated the accounts. Zhao Paner sat at the table and counted the abacus quickly. Yin Ping girls sat around her and watched. After finishing all calculations, Zhao Pan'er raised her head and said with a smug smile:

"Today, we made a total of forty pennies, 420 yuan. After deducting our shop rent, renovation fees, and transportation fees for He Si and the others, we made a net profit of 420 yuan!"

"Great, great!"

Song Yinzhang, Sun Sanniang, and Yinping girl were all very happy. At this time, Zhao Paner smiled slightly and said:

"Don't get too excited, today is our first day, and we still have some furniture, teacups, etc. In general, we still lose money!"

Song Yinzhang still said happily:
"Anyway, I don't care, I can earn so much money on the first day, which shows that our new way is right!"

Sun Sanniang agreed:

"Well, I was quite tired at first, but now that I've made money, I'm full of energy!"

After chatting for a while, seeing that Song Yinzhang and Yin Ping girl were a little tired, Zhao Pan'er asked them to go back to the house to rest first, and Sun Sanniang followed her to prepare the fruit to be sold tomorrow. After a while, only Yuan Xudong and Zhao Pan'er were left under the gazebo Being alone, Zhao Pan'er looked at Yuan Xudong with some pride and said:

"Who said I'm going to lose money?"

"Okay, I was the one who said something wrong, I'm willing to admit defeat!"

Looking at Zhao Pan'er who was a little proud, Yuan Xudong laughed and said:
"Pan'er, what do you think? How about I listen to you from now on, you let me go east, I will never dare to go west, how about that?"

"Okay!"

Zhao Pan'er looked at Yuan Xudong with a smile and said:

"Come and sit!"

"okay!"

Seeing Zhao Pan'er stretching out his hand to greet him, Yuan Xudong trotted over quickly, sat down beside her and said with a smile:
"Miss, do you have any orders?"

"Don't move, just close your eyes!"

"okay!"

Seeing Zhao Pan'er with a sly smile, Yuan Xudong knew that she must be trying to make fun of him, but Yuan Xudong still closed his eyes obediently, begging for mercy pitifully:
"My lady, be merciful!"

"do not move!"

Looking at Yuan Xudong who closed his eyes obediently, Zhao Paner took a bookkeeping brush and drew a few beards on his mouth and said with a smile:

"Okay, let me see if you dare to underestimate me in the future!"

Yuan Xudong slowly opened his eyes. Seeing Zhao Pan'er smiling sweetly, with icy muscles and bones, a smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he suddenly picked her up from the chair, spun her around twice in mid-air and said with a smile:
"Are you happy now?"

"Just let me down!"

"Don't let it go!"

"Just let me down!"

"Don't let it go!"

Looking at Zhao Pan'er, who seemed angry and happy, Yuan Xudong smirked and said:
"Unless you call my name, I'll let you down!"

Zhao Pan'er was held up in the air by Yuan Xudong's thighs, she smiled coquettishly, rolled her eyes at Yuan Xudong and shouted:
"Xiao Fan, let me down!"

"Not this, another name!"

"Fan Lang, put me down quickly, am I angry?"

"All right!"

Putting Zhao Pan'er down, Yuan Xudong held her bare hand and refused to let go. He accidentally saw pomegranate flowers blooming in the garden. Under the bright moonlight, the bright red and delicate pomegranate flowers were so beautiful. Yushou trotted over, broke off a small pomegranate branch and stuck it in her hair, smiling softly:

"Pan'er, you are so beautiful, like a fairy in a fairyland!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Seeing Yuan Xudong staring at him and listening to his praise, Zhao Paner lowered his head shyly. Seeing her shyness, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"Everything I said is true, I swear, Pan'er, I love you!"

It was the first time she heard Yuan Xudong express her love to her so sincerely, and Zhao Pan'er couldn't help being touched. She raised her eyes to meet Yuan Xudong's tender eyes and said:
"Fan Lang, you."

"Don't talk!"

Before Zhao Pan'er could finish speaking, Yuan Xudong reached out and covered her lips. Slowly, he lowered his head and began to kiss Zhao Pan'er's slender neck that was as white as jade. The kiss went from shallow to deep, and he greedily licked and bit her. With fair and delicate skin, Zhao Pan'er was a little bit embarrassed at first to smell the woman's body fragrance with a hint of tea fragrance on her body, and wanted to push him away, but slowly, she began to close her eyes, her red lips lightly Qi, with neat white teeth biting her lips, couldn't help moaning, she hugged Yuan Xudong's chest very hard, writhing in his arms, moaning softly in her mouth:
"Fan Lang, Fan Lang, uuuuuuuuuuuu!"

The love is naturally strong in the depths, looking at Zhao Pan'er who is soft all over and blushing, Yuan Xudong hugged her, and then went straight to her boudoir. After entering the room, Yuan Xudong closed the door and pulled up the curtain in front of the bed. Zhao Pan'er lay flat on the bed, put the jade pillow under her head, he pulled off her clothes one by one, and then leaned down gently.
After some cloud and rain, the room became quiet again. Yuan Xudong was wearing a white singlet, leaning against the head of the bed, and Zhao Paner was snuggling in his arms, wearing only a pink bellyband embroidered with plum blossoms, which was white and round With her shoulders exposed, Yuan Xudong's big hands gently caressed her body, comforting her tenderly. After a while, Zhao Pan'er curled up in Yuan Xudong's arms, her bare hands tightly wrapped around his neck, and she lifted her Looking at him, he said softly:
"Fan Lang, tell me the truth, do you really want to take Sanniang as your concubine?"

"what?"

Yuan Xudong put his arms around Zhao Pan'er's soft body, looked down at her, then pointed to the ink marks still left on his mouth and said with a smile:
"You still want to punish me?"

"Hate it, who is going to punish you?"

After casting a hard look at Yuan Xudong, Zhao Pan'er actually straddled him, bent over his chest, caressing his heart with her slender hands and laughingly said:
"Bad guy, tell me the truth, do you want to take a concubine?"

"this."

Looking at Zhao Pan'er, Yuan Xudong couldn't make up his mind for a moment. Is she testing herself?

Seeing Yuan Xudong hesitating, Zhao Pan'er gave him a blank look and said angrily:
"Forget it, you don't need to say it, I understand!"

After glaring hard at Yuan Xudong, who was empty and heartless, Zhao Pan'er lay on his body, pressed close to his heart and sighed:

"If you want to take a concubine, you can just take a concubine, but the seat of the first wife must be mine, do you hear?"

"Pan'er, I."

Unexpectedly, Zhao Pan'er would be so virtuous and virtuous. For a moment, Yuan Xudong was greatly moved. Before he could say anything, Zhao Pan'er gently covered his mouth and said softly:

"Okay, I don't want to hear it. When you are with me, you are not allowed to mention other little ladies!"

"Okay, then don't mention it!"

Looking at the gentle and magnanimous Zhao Pan'er, Yuan Xudong was extremely happy. He hugged Zhao Pan'er and rolled around on the bed, pressed her under him and said with a smile:

"Pan'er, I want you!"

"No, no, no!"

At noon the next day, compared with yesterday, the half-veiled tea house had better business today. After greeting Sun Sanniang and the others, Zhao Paner took a box of fruit and went to visit Zhang Haohao on the painting boat of Shuangxi Tower.

In the Double Happiness Tower, after Zhao Paner told her intentions, she finally met Zhang Haohao, the oiran of Yuan Xudong's friend. Zhang Haohao was sitting at the table rather lazily. Then, took a sip lightly, and couldn't help but praise:

"Sure enough, it is delicious, fragrant and soft, comparable to the fruit I tasted in Ouchi!"

Looking at Zhang Haohao, who has never been well-dressed, but is still charming and attractive, Zhao Pan'er smiled softly and said:
"If Mrs. Zhang likes it, how about I send a box every day?"

"For no reason, how could such a good thing happen to me?"

While eating the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that Zhao Paner gave her, Zhang Haohao smiled softly, knowing that Zhang Haohao is a smart person like himself, Zhao Paner didn't beat around the bush, but said directly:

"I'm Yinzhang's older sister. I heard from Yinzhang that Mrs. Zhang is a straightforward person, so I'll make it clear that those who come to Mrs. Zhang's side to enjoy songs are either rich or expensive, and there are many people like Liu Jiuguan. Literati like Wang Shitong, if you let them taste these fruits, wouldn’t it not only add luster to your Double Happiness Tower, but also make my tea house famous?”

"Yo, so you want to rely on me to solicit customers, but it's just that you want to buy me for three hundred yuan, isn't it too cheap?"

"What Mrs. Zhang lacks is not money. With all due respect, what you lack is how unique!"

Looking at the arrogant Zhang Haohao, Zhao Paner said to himself:
"Last time you performed your voice in front of the imperial court and attracted the applause of all the people, but after that, the scenery is getting worse day by day. There are more than one hundred kabuki affiliated to the Jiaofang. Seeing the continuous celebrations in spring, they are all working hard , you are going to perform in the palace, the officials are generous, if you reward them with colorful clothes in the future, your golden voice will not be so rare!"

If it was before Yuan Xudong harmed her, Zhao Pan'er's words might have moved Zhang Haohao, but since Yuan Xudong took her body, Zhang Haohao's thoughts were not above these false names, so what about the most powerful oiran, Can they marry the son of the prime minister's family?

Thinking about this in my heart, looking at Zhao Pan'er, who is full of confidence, Zhang Haohao smiled coquettishly and said:
"If a few days ago, what you said might have moved me, but now, I don't care much about it anymore. Whether it's a golden voice or colorful clothes, whoever wants it can fight for it. I don't care about it! "

Looking at Zhao Pan'er who looked slightly stupefied, Zhang Haohao laughed and said:

"Don't worry, I will help you solicit customers for your tea house. Who told you that you are Yinzhang's sister Pan'er? After all, I am also Yinzhang's sister. You are her sister Pan'er. I She is her good sister, we are all family!"

"is it?"

Although it was unexpected, the ending was good. Zhao Paner looked at Zhang Hao, who was smiling sweetly, and said with a smile:

"Then thank you Mrs. Zhang!"

"No, speaking of it, I should be the one thanking Miss Yinzhang. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have such a good marriage?"

"Marriage?"

Zhao Pan'er was a little dazed. At this time, Zhang Hao stood up from the chair. She looked around her room, then moved a vase from a shelf not far away and handed it to Zhao Pan'er with a smile:
"The opening gift for you, the Ding Kiln's pan-mouthed plum vase, with the inscriptions written by the Eight Great Kings on it, you put it in the tea house, so that those guests will know that we have a very close relationship, I hope it can help you!"

"Thank you!"

Zhao Pan'er took the opening gift from Zhang Haohao in a daze. Compared with this Ding Kiln's handicap plum vase, her attention was more focused on Zhang Haohao's waist. Surprisingly, there was a golden cloud-patterned gold medal hanging from the waist of the tall willow, with a big Xiao character engraved on the gold medal. It was the cloud-patterned gold medal that Yuan Xudong gave Zhao Pan'er at the beginning.

Seeing Zhao Paner staring at his cloud-patterned gold medal, Zhang took the gold medal in his hand like a baby and smiled:
"I can't give you this moiré gold medal, it's my treasure, and it's my amulet!"

"is it?"

Taking a look at the little girl's coquettish Zhang Haohao, Zhao Pan'er forced a smile and said:
"I seem to have this gold medal."

"That's right, this is the piece of Yinzhang girl's, but it's mine now!"

Zhang Hao put the cloud pattern gold medal back on his waist, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, and he said shyly with anger and joy on his face:
"I think you know Fan Lang, so I'll tell you the truth. He bullied me a few days ago, and he sent people to send several boxes of property as compensation afterwards, as well as the sales contract for the Shuangxi Tower. I'm married to him, that's why I've lost my desire to compete for fame and fortune, this gold medal is also what he wants to give me as compensation, it's not that I'm playing tricks and not giving it back to Sister Yinzhang!"

"So this is ah!"

Zhao Paner forced herself to calm down, chatted with Zhang Haohao for a while, and learned about the things between her and Yuan Xudong on the sidelines. Zhang Haohao was not a fool, and she naturally felt that Zhao Paner and Yuan Xudong might have a very close relationship. , but she doesn't take it seriously at all, and she can say what she should say. Yuan Xudong has already made it clear to her that in terms of status, she will only be a concubine. Like a regular wife, she never dared to expect Yuan Xudong to spoil her alone, as long as he has a place for her in his heart, at least he has a good support, right?
After chatting with Zhang Haohao for a while, Zhao Paner left the boat in Shuangxi Tower with a big box in both hands. When she first went there she was in high spirits, but when she came back she was distraught. Zhao Pan'er was a little unstable and almost fell. At this moment, Yuan Xudong stood on the bank to support her with one hand, and took the big wooden box she was holding in his hand with the other and said with concern:

"Be careful, don't fall!"

"Hmm~"

Looking up at Yuan Xudong, Zhao Paner nodded slightly. She held the hem of her skirt in one hand and took Yuan Xudong's hand in the other to get off the barge. The figure was long and slender, and after walking for a while, seeing Zhao Pan'er not very happy, Yuan Xudong took the initiative to ask:
"Pan'er, what's wrong with you? Why do you look unhappy?"

Hearing this, Zhao Pan'er stared at Yuan Xudong for a while, hesitated to speak, and finally said:
"It's okay, business is too busy, maybe I'm tired!"

"is it?"

Seeing that Zhao Pan'er didn't want to talk much, Yuan Xudong changed the subject and said:

"What's in this box?"

Hearing this, Zhao Pan'er looked up into Yuan Xudong's eyes and said softly:
"The opening gift that Zhang Haohao gave me was a Ding Kiln Plum Vase. She said that there were inscriptions written by the Eight Great Kings on it, and she asked me to put it in the private room, so that the guests who come here will know that we are very close! "

Uh-huh?

Zhao Pan'er just met Zhang Haohao?
Yuan Xudong finally knew why Zhao Pan'er was upset. She was fine last night and she was very enthusiastic. As a result, it changed now. It must be Zhang Haohao who said something to her. If I had known it earlier, I might as well have confessed everything last night. , so as to strive for leniency, but it seems that Zhao Pan'er didn't let herself mention other women in front of her. These are all her faults?
"what are you thinking about?"

"No, I didn't think about anything!"
