Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 362 Drinking to drown one’s sorrows
"How's it going, brother?"

Li An looked at his elder brother's tired look and smiled.

Although Li Ping was very tired, when he heard Li An's question, he said excitedly: "Business is also very good. Although we haven't calculated how much money we made, we definitely made a lot of money based on the vegetable prices we set."

He originally had no confidence in running a restaurant, and he still opened it on Nanmen Street.

But he didn't expect that when it was almost noon, many of the powerful disciples who had been hosted by Gu Tingye yesterday would invite their friends to come over for dinner.

It didn't take long for the restaurant to be full. Even after dinner time, there were still many customers coming.

The business continued until mid-afternoon when there were fewer customers.

"I won't tell you anymore. When they left, many customers said they would come back in the evening. At noon, the dishes were not prepared enough, which was delayed for a long time. I will ask someone to notify the vegetable vendor to send more dishes, and then put them in Let’s settle the accounts,” Li Ping said.

"Brother, don't worry, your health is important. You need to rest first. I see you didn't eat much at noon." Li An said.

"I'm not tired at all. It's okay for you to stay here. Just go back to study. There's no need to stay here." Li An waved his hand and walked out.

"Zi Qian, do you think I'm stupid?" Gu Tingye said mockingly.

Because he was forced to come to Bianjing and occupied the house that was originally used for Li An's wedding, Li Ping always felt guilty.

A normal person with a slightly clearer mind would be able to see through Mannia's true face.

Hearing this, Li An didn't ask any questions, and asked Desheng to inform the kitchen to make some dishes and bring them over, and then took Gu Tingye to the upstairs box.

To be honest, Mannia's method is not very clever. It can only be said that Gu Tingye is too stupid.

"Let's go back." Li An said to Desheng.

Although Mannia disguised herself well, it would not be difficult for Gu Tingye to reveal her flaws as long as he tried to test her.

Li An speculated that he went to test Mannia and found out Mannia's true face.

Now that business is so good, he is very motivated and wants to make more money to buy a better and bigger house for Li An.

Gu Tingye was stunned. He just wanted to find someone to talk to.

Shitou has a simple mind and can only nod his head no matter what he says.

"Zhong Huai, what happened?"

"Zhong Huai, are you okay?" Li An and Gu Tingye entered the box and sat down, hesitating and asked.

"It's indeed stupid." Li An nodded affirmatively.

"Bring some wine first." Gu Tingye said to the maid at the door of the box.

Gu Tingye said in a hoarse voice: "Zi Qian, let someone prepare some food and wine for me."

Li An shook his head. He had guessed some of Li Ping's thoughts.

Li An took Desheng out of the box, went downstairs, and saw Gu Tingye walking in with a look of despair.

Seeing Li An nod, the maid responded and went to get the wine.

Li An heard this and looked at Shitou. Shitou shook his head and said, "Master Li, my master feels uncomfortable. Just drink with him."

Gu Tingye looked a little scary now, his eyes were red and swollen, his eyes were dull, his expression was haggard, and he had no energy at all.

Sheng Changbai didn't understand his affairs.

It was Li An, whether it was Xiao Qin or Mannia, who reminded him.

It's a good person to talk to.

He originally thought that Li An would comfort him, but he didn't expect that Li An would nod in agreement.

Gu Tingye came back to his senses and laughed at himself: "Yes, I am indeed stupid."

"Zhong Huai, there's actually one thing I haven't been able to figure out. A child of a family like you has been surrounded by women since he was a child. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be deceived by such a woman," Li An said.

There is actually a big difference in the attitudes towards women between children from aristocratic families and children from common people. Those with ordinary family backgrounds or common people often do things like pampering concubines and destroying wives.

The reason why this is so is very different from the environment and teachings they have been in since childhood, and the values ​​they have cultivated.

Although this is not absolute, it can represent the majority.

Take the Sheng family for example. The old man in the second room of the Sheng family all spoiled his concubines and destroyed his wife.

Including Sheng Hong, but Sheng Hong was more sensible, but he only loved his concubine and did not destroy his wife.

Do you know that the examples of people who took concubines and killed their wives mentioned in the article are basically people of low background.

Including Chen Shimei in the folk tale, she also came from a humble background.

The reason why this situation occurs is actually similar to the psychology of the nouveau riche.

When people suddenly gain wealth that exceeds their ability to control, and lack the corresponding foundation, many people will squander it like water, and only a few people can stay rational.

Women are the same for men. Women who were originally unavailable to them will naturally spoil their concubines and destroy their wives when their status and wealth improve and they can get them. In addition, those women know how to please.

On the contrary, he is a young man from an aristocratic family, and he has been surrounded by women since he was a child.

This kind of thing has long been commonplace.

It's not that they won't be addicted to women, but they won't be easily deceived by a woman like Gu Tingye.

This is well reflected in the brothers Sheng Changbai and Sheng Changfeng.

The two brothers of the Sheng family were married before they got married, but they were both dismissed after they got married.

Haishi cleverly left one for Sheng Changbai, but Sheng Changbai didn't say anything about it. Instead, he and Haishi had a good relationship and treated each other with respect.

And Sheng Changfeng didn't dare to say anything because his mother had lost power.

Some people may say that he is weak, but it also shows that he has no true feelings for those women.

As for Gu Tingye, he quarreled with his father over a Mannia.

Some people may think that Sheng Changbai and Sheng Changfeng are a little cold, but Gu Tingye is affectionate and righteous.

Ang Lee in his previous life felt the same way, but after truly integrating into this era, Ang Lee felt that there was nothing wrong between the two.

Because the education and values ​​that the ancients received were inherently different from those of later generations.

For the ancients, a wife was a wife and a concubine was a concubine. The status of a concubine was actually not much higher than that of a servant.

It is even said that in the eyes of the ancients, concubines were just a type of wealth.

You can take it to accompany others, give it away, or even sell it.

This is not wrong in the thinking of the ancients.

That's not to say that Ang Lee accepts this concept, but since he is in this era, he can not accept or approve it, but he cannot change it, and he cannot let others disapprove it.

"Actually, I don't even like her. It's just that he stayed with me when I was the most lonely and confused, and he also gave birth to my children. I am willing to believe her." Gu Tingye said.

Li An shook his head slightly when he heard this and said, "Then what are you going to do with her?"

"I wanted to kill her at the time, but after all, she gave birth to two children for me. I don't know what to do now, so I can only have her put under house arrest temporarily," Gu Tingye said.

"No matter how you plan to deal with it, you must not release the person for the time being." Li An reminded.

He couldn't say much about Mannia's treatment, so he could only remind Gu Tingye not to let her go.

"I know." Gu Tingye nodded and saw the maid bringing wine in and said, "Stop talking about this and drink with me. I just want to get drunk today." Gu Tingye said.

Li An didn't think there was any use in drinking to relieve his worries and make them worse, but since Gu Tingye wanted to drink, he could only accompany him.
