Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 118 117. Misunderstanding
Hearing Hongying's words, Li Zhen glanced at the handsome neutral woman whose eyes were still on her, then at Huang Li, and nodded:
"Of course I can. The two lay monks will go first, and the poor Taoist will come back to tidy up, okay?"

Hong Ying responded, and Li Zhen waved to Huang Li:
"Little Huangqi, what do you want me to do?"

What happened last night, even though the oiran was playing tricks on him, he still couldn't afford to get angry with a child.

So he asked with a smile.

But asking questions, similarly, he can also guess what this little girl is doing here.

Whether it's an apology or something, Li Zhen doesn't care if he accepts it or not.But if it's because of my own reasons, it's not appropriate to let this girl go back to receive some punishment.

So, he finished the question directly, intending to give the other party a suitable excuse for refusal after Huang Li took the initiative to speak out.

But Huang Li didn't dare to say it.

Because she heard that this adult named Hongying is inviting the Taoist priest...

So he quickly shook his head and kept silent.

Seeing this, Li Zhen also noticed that she seemed to feel inconvenient, so she said very understandingly:
"It's not convenient to say, is it? Then let's go out and talk."

After speaking, he walked towards the entrance of Fulong Building.

It's really inappropriate for everyone in the room to be looking at them at the moment.

But Huang Li still shook her head and said:
"Daozhang, slave... I'm fine, let's go now."

Hong Yingxin said that you left, so what should we do about our misunderstanding?
So he said directly:

"It's nothing. Since you're here, you can't just make a trip in vain. If you have anything to do, just say it."

"..."

Oriole's face turned pale.

But he didn't dare to disobey Hongying's intention, so he could only mutter and say:

"Prince Daoist, my... elder sister... because of the... misunderstanding last night, I would like to invite the priest to go and explain..."

Li Zhenxin said that it was as expected.

Just about to answer.

But someone is faster than his mouth.

Sun Jingchan, who was staring at Li Zhen without saying a word, frowned, turned her eyes and landed on Huang Li:

"The great talent of Daoist Priest Shouchu is a dragon and phoenix among the people. Could it be that she invited him just as she said?"

Her face was full of displeasure:

"First of all, if you don't prepare the etiquette, and second, if you don't come in person, Xia He is so arrogant!"

"No... no no no..."

Oriole panicked immediately.

Hongying's face also changed.

Because she had seen Li Zhen frowning.

The matter of the Young Sovereign is still vivid in her mind, and Hongying knows that if the young lady continues to talk like this...what happened today...would be terrible.

So he hurried to Sun Jingchan's side:

"Miss, I'm afraid I misunderstood. Xia Hefei didn't come here in person, but they wouldn't be able to come out until the monthly purchase date. Last night, there was some misunderstanding. Xia He also hoped to explain. It is clear, but it is not out of courtesy...Miss, why don't you go to the private room to wait first? The Taoist priest talked for half an hour, it was very hard, how about taking a rest first?"

"...?"

Sun Jingchan was taken aback.

But she could hear the meaning of Hongying's words.

I couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

What did I say wrong?

Not really?

The talent of the Taoist Priest Shouchu is wonderful and enviable. A brothel girl is only invited by a servant girl, which is considered rude.

That's right.

Daoist Shouchu has a talent for poetry and prose. Just by looking at it, one can tell that he has a thousand hills in his heart.

Even I am heartbroken to come here in person.

How disrespectful are you, Xia He, to the Taoist priest?

But when she heard Hongying's words, she didn't speak.

Hongying is very smart, since she said so, there must be a reason.

Although I didn't guess it for a while, I still nodded and looked at Li Zhen:

"Daoist Shouchu has worked hard, and we must have a drink and talk later. Excuse me first."

"...Respectfully send off the layman."

Li Zhen made a perfunctory sentence, and after Sun Jingchan went upstairs, Hongying said:

"Prince Daoist, it just so happens that Huang Li and I have something to discuss with Taoist Priest. I wonder if we can find a clean place..."

"..."

Hearing this, Li Zhen looked at her, then at Huang Li, and said:
"Come with me."

Saying that, while walking upstairs, he pointed to the tray on the table to the waiter next to him.

The people on the first floor waited for everyone to leave before they breathed a sigh of relief.

Shang Nu's friend whispered to Shang Nu:
"The story told by the Priest Shouchu is really extraordinary! Is there any more in the afternoon? Is it the story of Li Tanhua you mentioned?"

"Ah."

Shang Nu nodded, recalling the scene just now thoughtfully.

……

The waiter in the shop didn't dare to take a breath. After placing the tray on the table in Li Zhen's room, he quickly retreated.

"slow."

Li Zhen quickly stopped him.

He first opened the handkerchief buttoned on the tray, and inside were 13 ingots of silver ingots and one ingot of gold ingots.

Silver is the number of two.

If calculated in terms of silver, it is 23 taels.

He directly picked up seven ingots of silver and handed them to the waiter:

"Give."

"... Daoist?"

The waiter was dumbfounded.

Hongying was also a little puzzled, looking at Li Zhen puzzled.

Li Zhen smiled and said:

"It's not appropriate for me to live here for free. When I tell stories, I usually share the account with the host family where I am. This is today's example. Including the money from the three-foot-high platform, the total is seven taels." , you put it away, and I will give it to the shopkeeper later."

"No, no, it's not appropriate..."

Where would the waiter dare to pick it up?
But Li Zhen shook her head:

"Hold it, it's the rule. Otherwise, it won't be safe for Pindao to live here."

Saying that, without waiting for the waiter to refuse, he said directly:

"Okay, you go out, we still have something to talk about."

"..."

The waiter held the silver and couldn't say anything more, so he could only nod in agreement and backed out.

After the door was closed, Li Zhen pointed to the table and said politely to Hongying:

"Layman, please sit down."

After finishing speaking, he took three cups and poured a cup of cold tea for himself, Hongying, and Huang Li who was at a loss.

And Hongying was not hypocritical, after she sat down, she said directly:

"Daoist, I'm afraid there was some misunderstanding last night."

"...?"

Li Zhen was taken aback suddenly:
"last night?"

Hongying nodded:

"That's right, it was last night. When Miss and I arrived at Xiaoyao Tower last night, the Taoist priest had just left."

"...???"

Li Zhen was speechless, looked at Hongying, then at Huangli, and couldn't help asking:

"Could it be...your young lady is that...Master Sun?"

"Exactly."

Amid Huang Li's nod, Hong Ying said:
"My lady is famous all over the world for her calligraphy. She was considered a sage of calligraphy many years ago. After being praised by His Majesty the Emperor, the world respected her as "Master Sun" or "Mr. Jing Chan". And last night, it was my servant and master. People heard that the Taoist priest was in the Xiaoyao Building, but the overnight visit was in vain. After the Taoist priest left, Miss Ye and I also found out the whole story. It happened that Huang Li was here today. The Taoist priest explained it, lest... the Taoist priest has a gap in his heart towards us."
