Those days of being the fourth master's outer room

Chapter 18

"Hey! My little ancestor, why are you crying? Look at the swollen eyes. How can I meet guests later..." Mama Li looked at the two girls with red eyes and red noses in front of her. Exaggerated nagging.

"Meet the guests? Didn't you say that we won't pick up the guests tonight and let us prepare for tomorrow's match?" Baozhu asked suspiciously as she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.Yaru also looked into Li's mother's eyes and waited for the answer.

Mother Li thought of the two nobles whom Mr. He had quietly told her just now, and thought of Yaru's stubborn personality. If she didn't persuade this girl, she might cause some trouble, so she thought about the wording "Yes." In this way, Li Jianjiang, the host of the Oiran Contest, Boss Li, came with a few guests, saying that he wanted to meet the two of you. You all know that these are important people who cannot be offended. The rest will do their own thing, and they will be there tomorrow morning They won't stay overnight for the game. Hurry up and pack up." Said impatiently, waving a handkerchief as if chasing the two of them.

Yaru and Baozhu looked at each other, Baozhu squeezed Yaru's hand and said in a low voice, "Yaru, this is your chance, pack up and go and have a look."

Yaru nodded with a sullen face, went back to the room and changed into a light blue pleated skirt embroidered with orchids, combed a wishful bun, and only put a white peony flower in her ear, without any jewelry on her body, just After going out so cleanly, Mama Li was still complaining that she was too clean, too clean, but Yaru followed Sister Baozhu's pace indifferently and walked forward, seeing that Yaru ignored Mama Li, she had to give up.

When they came to the door of the box in the front hall, Madam Li pulled the corner of her clothes, and repeatedly told the two of them, "We must entertain the masters well, otherwise we will all be finished if something happens." Knock and go in.

The fourth master and the thirteenth master had just sat down firmly, Li Jianjiang said, "I don't know what the fourth master thinks of our salt merchants in Jiangnan?"

Fourth Master's heart fluttered, and he asked such a direct question. It seemed that Li Jianjiang, an old fox, was more cunning than he imagined. He replied calmly, "Oh? Why did you ask this question?" It is one of the best in the whole country, full of luxury and luxury, and singing and dancing everywhere. The salt merchants in Yangzhou are like mice in an oil tank.

"The ancients said: Once every ten years, Yangzhou dreams. It can be seen that Yangzhou is a very prosperous and good place." Thirteenth Master took the opportunity to pick up the conversation.

"Haha! Yes, the money from the salt merchants is easy to come by. Some time ago, brother Li brought out a basket of gold leaves for his eighteen-bedroom concubine to play on the Little Qinhuai River." He Zhizhang stroked his beard and said.

"The humane Yangzhou salt merchants are the richest in the world, it seems that it is so!" After hearing this, the Thirteenth Master said with emotion, his elder brother was not so straightforward in spending money.

"There is a note in the previous dynasty: Xin'an Dajia, fish and salt are the industry, there are millions of Tibetans, and the other 30 to [-] are in the Jiaer. The wealth of salt merchants has always been there." Yinzhen glanced at Li Jianjiang. , replied calmly.

"Hehe! Where is it? It's just asking for food, not worth mentioning." Li Jianjiang said modestly.

He Zhizhang helped everyone fill up the wine, "Where! If the next official is not an official ordered by the court, he would want to beg for a meal with Boss Li!"

Boss Li looked at Si Ye's pensive look, and knew that Si Bei Le's words were already in his heart, and he had said enough today, so he asked the maid and asked, "Why haven't Miss Baozhu and Miss Yaru come yet? Hurry up!" Urge." After dismissing the little maid, he said to Fourth Master, "Fourth Master, it's rare to have the opportunity to entertain two nobles, but tonight I'm going to get drunk."

The fourth master smiled, and Thirteen yelled, "Of course, it's only when I'm drunk, let's talk about it first, that Yaru girl belongs to my fourth brother, don't snatch it from anyone."

"Thirteenth brother, be careful!" The fourth master looked annoyed, Li Jianjiang and He Zhizhang echoed, "It must be, with the fourth master here, how can Miss Yaru like us!"

The Thirteenth Master looked at the angry look of the fourth brother, and giggled in his heart, how could the fourth brother take the initiative if he didn't push him.

Just as he was talking, he heard a knock on the door. Fourth Master looked up and saw an old nanny walking with two women. At a glance, one of the dressed women seemed to be more attractive. But now it is often unexpected, but fourth master's eyes seem to be drawn to look at the plain woman beside him.Although the dress is too plain but not shabby, there is only one white peony from the beginning to the end, but the pure and elegant temperament leaves a deep shadow in everyone's heart.
