Chapter 57: Revisiting Minglou

Three days later in the morning.

The Hei Yuwei and the car frame were waiting outside the mansion gate, and Cao Hua personally sent Xie Yijun out of the city.

I have temporarily put aside my work these days and have been teaching Xie Yijun how to use muskets and configure gunpowder. I learned it very quickly, but my three-day kung fu is better than him, which makes him a time traveler a little embarrassed.

The maid Yutang knew that Sister Xie was leaving, and she cried for a long time with grievance. After all, she had been serving her for a lot of time during this period, so she really liked this powerful and kind eldest sister. For this reason, she secretly ran to Cao Hua's house at night and muttered in a low voice: "Young master, Sister Xie is OK, why don't you lock her up."

If it were locked, it would have done this long ago.

Cao Hua could only comfort him a few words: "I will be back sooner or later."

Han'er was relieved to hear the news. She was worried about a thief hidden in her family every day, and she didn't even dare to see Xue Jiuquan. Now that the young master has repented and drawn a clear line between the thief, she is naturally much more at ease.

The carriage swayed and came outside Bianjing City.

A black horse was brought over, Xie Yijun, wearing a red dress, turned over the horse, with a long sword hanging on the waist, and a white spear hanging on the side of the horse, with a gentle smile:

"Go away!"

Cao Hua stood on the road, raised his hand and waved it: "Come back and take a look when you have time."

Speaking of which, it tastes like sending a wanderer out.

I will definitely be reluctant to leave after being together for so long, but Xie Yijun is not a sentimental person. She is very free and easy everywhere. She just gave a fist and performed a ritual: "The green mountains will not change, the green water will flow forever, and I will meet again if I have the fate!"

After saying that, he slapped his horse and left.

Cao Hua looked at him and only curled his lips until the figure disappeared from the end of his vision: "This crazy woman, don't make trouble for me outside."

Next to the carriage, Li Bairen, the deputy envoy, came up carefully, and frowned with a big knife in his arms, "Governor, should you send someone to follow me? If there is anything, you can bring her back."

As the deputy envoy, Li Bairen is the third in command of Diankui. Cao Hua takes good care of him about Xie Yijun, and is currently half a confidant. He knew that the rebel Xie Yijun had lived in the Marquis' Mansion for two months, but this kind of hiding rebels was on Cao Taisui. Even if he was discovered and punished three drinks at most, he did not treat it as a big deal.

Now that this female rebel has been let go, Li Bairen has been thinking about it for a long time but has not been able to guess what Cao Gong is thinking, so he wants to send a few people to follow him, so that Cao Gong will regret it and have to send people all over the world to find him.

Cao Hua did want to send someone to follow him, but after thinking for a while, he shook his head: "No, you can't keep up."

Li Bairen nodded. It is indeed difficult for a master like "Roamen Tiger" to secretly follow him, so he didn't say much.

On the official road.

The horse galloped past, and Xie Yijun occasionally looked back and saw if anyone followed him. After traveling ten miles, the horse's speed slowed down a little.

I really let the tiger go back to the mountain. What does he mean...

Riding on the horse, Xie Yijun frowned slightly, thinking about everything after arriving in Bianjing, and wanted to analyze the profound meaning and purpose of Cao Hua's actions from it.

This is naturally unanalyable.

As Xie Yijun thought about it, her thoughts were brought to the story told by Cao Hua. She was originally jealous of evil and became furious when she heard some things in Water Margin.

She had no choice but to be detained in the Marquis of Wu'an. She was still so arrogant that the birds could fly.

"You say you can't kill if you can't kill? You can kill 'Huahua Tai Sui'. Why can't I kill a short-legged tiger? Such a villain is also worthy of being called a 'tiger'..."

Xie Yijun muttered softly, looked at the black feather guard sign on his waist, thought for a little, and then turned his horse's head to Liangshan.

Going back to Western Shu? Just kidding, where did she want to go, she still needs to listen to Cao Zhe’s arrangements?

"Roamen Tiger" Xie Yijun, the most powerful bandit under the command of the King of Shu, so because of Cao Taisui's story, he rushed to Liangshan alone.

Moreover, for the convenience of killing, he also used Cao Hua's name.

As for what would happen if the short-legged tiger Wang Ying, who had not had time to occupy Hu Sanniang, no one knew yet. Of course, these are all later stories.

------

Time is back to the present, the Queen Mother's birthday party is approaching, and the streets and alleys are beginning to be decorated with lights. Poetry and literary gatherings are as usual, but the theme has become birthday poems. I think Cao Taisui should not have the courage to come over the table this time.

It was already midsummer, and the streets and alleys in Bianjing City became hot. The cicadas were singing among the willows. Occasionally, naughty children were playing in the water in the inland river, and women were holding rattans and scolding.

Some young children were so scared that they didn't wear their pants on the street, and the woman followed her chest and trembled, which made the old man in the tea shop keep talking nonsense. The vendors who were pushing the cart were still enthusiastic about blocking the way, and joked at the embarrassing woman.

Since Cao Hua went out, he went to the shop to stroll around. Walking on the long street, he looked at the long-lost market conditions, and he found it quite interesting.

It was just noon and the sun was a bit harsh. Wanbao Tower was not far ahead. Walking in the alley, you can enter the shop through the back door.

Looking up, three figures in the alley were walking forward, and Su Xiangning and the maid Qingguo walked back with the objects on the stall.

There is also a young man in a gorgeous costume next to him, carrying a small table, which is quite difficult.

I haven't been here for nearly a month and I wanted to say hello, but I didn't expect that Su Xiangning turned around when she heard the movement and was stunned when she saw him.

The young man in the gorgeous clothes next to him said something curiously, and Su Xiangning nodded awkwardly, and then left without looking back.

The young man in China frowned and looked at him, then continued to carry the table and follow him.

Haha? I haven't seen each other for more than half a month, and I even found my goodbye, but it's a pity...

Cao Hua sighed, but without thinking too much, he pushed open the back door of Wanbao Tower.

"Oh hey! What wind has blown you!"

Manager Song was lying on a rattan chair with his purple sand turtle back pot and holding a beautiful woman's fan in his hand. He looked up at Kyoto Tai Sui and felt a chill in his lower body.

The weather is hot and there are few people on the streets. Noon is the official lady willing to come over to go shopping. Naturally, Cao Hua would not take advantage of the situation just because the employees took a break and said casually:

"Come here to see how the shop is doing recently."

Every day, Liu Laosi would come to report the revenue of the shop, but Liu Laosi naturally didn't understand things like "Humanistic Care". No matter how high his status as the boss behind the scenes, he still had to pay attention to his own employees.

Manager Song quickly got up and moved out of his position, took the newly purchased set of tea sets and brewed the pot with the best Longjing, stood beside him and slapped Xiaofeng and said with great sincerity:

"Don't worry, Cao Gong, there was no trouble in the shop, but the market was saturated and the newly launched 'caojian' was walking slowly. Liu Laosi arranged a few brothers to promote it in the teahouse, saying that you were so angry that you vomited blood from the 'caojian' incident, but you didn't dare to take advantage of the problem. You should be able to make a big splash in a few days."

Some professional terms are naturally followed by Cao Gong.

"Good, good, good, good progress."

Cao Hua lay on the chair with his back on his back, holding a tea bowl and savored for a while: "Didn't the two families on the other side come to make trouble?"

"There is no on the surface, but some people who are drifting into the shop and wandering into the inner room. Of course, I just saw me enjoying the cool air here."

Manager Song slapped the wind, thought for a moment, and suddenly got closer: "But Xiao Zhang said that someone came to see him for a seat in Lan Kwai Fong a few days ago, and his intention was unknown. Xiao Zhang didn't dare to talk to me carelessly, Mr. Cao, look?"

The two guys in the shop were all slutty with Liu Laosi. They usually had been there for someone to invite him to visit the kiln, but now they are careful and cautious in their work under Cao Gong for fear of being cut off their third leg.

After thinking for a moment, Cao Hua chuckled and said, "A little trick, let Xiao Zhang go over, enjoy what he should enjoy, hold what he should hold, and say that he didn't find it afterwards."

"Young people understand!" Manager Song was accused of talking about books and doing things, and he was also full of bad things. He would not understand what Cao Gong meant.

Cao Hua rested in the shop for a while, and asked curiously: "How is Miss Su's business in the bean shop?"

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Song's face froze: "I greeted the other side of the train and Maxing as you told me. I will take care of you when I pass by. The business is pretty good. But Miss Su has recently..."

"What's wrong?" Cao Hua raised his eyebrows.

"Well..." Manager Song hesitated for a moment, and said: "Ms. Su was a girl from a famous building before, and seemed to have some friendship with the son of Mr. Lin's family. Recently, the son of the Lin family came here every day, and Ms. Su seemed to..."

"Okay!"

Cao Hua had the intention to listen to these gossips: "The care you should take care of is to recruit more staff training by the way. When the empress dowager's birthday is over, there will be a big deal, so don't make a mistake."

"Yes." Manager Song nodded quickly, thought for a while and said, "Miss Chen from Qinglian Lane came here twice. He led some officials' ladies and gave him a 30% discount. Afterwards, he sent the money that Miss Chen paid back, but Miss Chen refused to accept it..."

Cao Hua was quite funny when he heard this: "There is no need to do such a trick. She is willing to introduce her friends to her and give her enough face."

"Small understand."

-----

After staying in the shop for a while, then got up and left. Seeing that it was still early, I suddenly remembered the last time that the Five Tigers of Liangshan made trouble in Tokyo. After all, I was assassinated again just now, so I must be careful of such things.

After so long, Li Shishi was shocked and suppressed. In order to prevent such a situation from happening again, he had to go over and intimidate him. After all, he didn't know when the emperor would go out.

Thinking of this, Cao Hua took off his disguise in a secluded alley and went to Minglou with a familiarity.

At noon, after all, there are a few people who come to brothels to have fun. Only a few literati and merchants took over the private room to serve. Most girls rest in the back house or sing lyrics and practice music. Those with high talent compiled new lyrics sent by the poetry club into songs, and the professor sang to the girls they brought under him.

He also had some lively personality and talked about gossip. For example, Mr. Fan made a new word for the top card. In order to win the title of Li Shishi as the first courtesan, Yue Dazi didn't go out for half a month to think hard.

Rumors in the market cannot be true, but it is enough to make some women with poor talent envious. Cao Hua was led to the back house by Mrs. Tang, and heard some things about Su Xiangning and Mrs. Lin. It is said that Lin Fengyang learned that Su Xiangning lived a hard life and brought his family friends to support him every day. The son of the minister of the Ministry of Personnel actually helped the Douhua Shop to help. The girls who said that were moved and cried, complaining that he had not met such a good person.

After hearing this, he had a good sense of Mr. Lin. As long as Su Xiangning did not meet a scum, there was no need to care so much.

When I came to the second-story building in the back Tinghu Lake, a piano music came from it. I listened to it. It turned out to be the "Liang Zhu" that he had shown his last time.

The difference between everyone and amateurs is that it is very big. Even after listening to the "Book of Liang" that came out of Li Shishi, I still feel refreshed even after listening to it many times. It seems that he has made some mistakes of the tone he made. This attainment is really not simple.

Mrs. Tang smiled and knocked on the door. Qinyin stopped, but she didn't expect Li Shishi to say in it: "Madam, I won't see you today."

As a courtesan, he has the qualifications, but he has to see who the person is. Mrs. Tang looked embarrassed and quickly reminded: "It's Mr. Cao Hua who came to visit."

A little while, the sound of footsteps and walking sounded in the room and the door opened.

Li Shishi smiled gently, and saw Cao Hua standing in front of the door with a serious expression, leaning over and bowing down and bowing:

"I've met Mr. Cao."

Cao Hua observed his expression and expression to enter the realm of transformation. Even though Li Shishi covered up his eyebrows well, he still found that he was a little strange and seemed nervous.

The 'Kyoto Tai Sui' went out like a king of hell shopping, which made outsiders nervous, and Cao Hua didn't care and went straight into the house.

Li Shishi bit her lower lip, but it was difficult for Cao Taisui to change the room, so she could only close the door, absent-minded and secretly turned her eyes toward the bed.
