Yuyanzhai.
Because of his actions in suppressing bandits, he became the Penglai Pavilion of the restaurant. Xue Bizhu and Huang Lingyi, the two former courtesans, also became the current female shopkeepers of Yuyanzhai.
"If Mr. Liu is not satisfied with his position, then he will change his position!"
Ning Zihan on the side saw Liu Dashao's frown and thought Liu Mingzhi was dissatisfied with Yuyanzhai!
"Ah? I just remembered some past events. Now that I'm here, let's go and sit down!"
"Master Liu, please!
"Please!"
There was a buzz of people in Yuyanzhai, and the business was booming.
The entire hall was filled with guests, drinking and fist-fighting.
There were many pretty girls carrying plates among the crowd. Who would have thought that the predecessor of the prosperous restaurant in front of them would be Penglai Pavilion, one of the three major brothels on the banks of the Qinhuai River, if they were not unaware.
"Two distinguished guests......"
Xue Bizhu stared blankly at Liu Mingzhi and Liu Mingzhi who were standing in front of the door, especially when he saw Young Master Liu, there was indescribable joy in his eyes.
Liu Mingzhi looked away from the guest and looked at Xue Bizhu, who was leaning forward to greet the two of them, with a faint smile: "Miss Xue, long time no see. Business is so prosperous. I have made a lot of money in the past two years. If I am poor in the future, Miss Xue needs help if she is down and out!"
Xue Bizhu murmured: "I am willing to raise him for the rest of my life!"
"What? Miss Xue, can you speak louder? My ears may not be as smart as they used to be as I get older!"
Xue Bizhu came back to her senses and hurriedly greeted Young Master Liu: "You are back. When did you come back?"
Ning Zihan looked at Liu Mingzhi and Xue Bizhu strangely. It turned out that the rumors in the market were not groundless. The female shopkeeper of Yuyanzhai really had some unexplainable relationship with the current Duke Dingguo.
Ning Zihan didn't take it seriously before, thinking that this rumor was deliberately spread by Xue Bizhu and Huang Lingyi to reduce unnecessary trouble.
Ning Zihan understood now when he saw the way Xue Bizhu stared at Master Liu.
There may be some truth to the rumors.
Young Master Liu nodded awkwardly. Xue Bizhu's words were indeed easily misunderstood.
The key point is that this young master and you are innocent, okay? What you said makes it sound as if this young master is a man who has suddenly returned from home for many years, and you are the beautiful lady in the boudoir who is eagerly waiting for her husband to return!
"Miss Xue, prepare a room in the upper room. I'll have a few drinks with Mr. Ning and catch up on old times!"
Only then did Xue Bizhu realize that Lord Ning Zi Hanning, the governor of Jinling, was also standing aside.
"My little girl's eyesight is so stupid that she didn't realize that Master Ning was here. I'm sorry!"
Ning Zihan smiled and shook his head: "It doesn't matter, shopkeeper Xue just listen to Mr. Liu's instructions!"
Xue Bizhu nodded hurriedly: "Two noblemen and the little lady, come, I will arrange a room for you!"
While leading the way, Xue Bizhu looked back from time to time to glance at Young Master Liu behind him. This move made Liu Mingzhi extremely embarrassed.
Xue Bizhu's reputation as an oiran was naturally extraordinary, and her proficiency in music, chess, calligraphy and painting won the favor of many men. However, the look in Young Master Liu's eyes that he frequently looked back at clearly showed a fact.
The goddess has love!
Ning Zihan nodded and followed with lowered eyebrows, saying nothing or asking any questions.
We don’t know anything, and we don’t dare to ask!
The three of them climbed to the third floor. Xue Bizhu gently opened the door of a room and stepped aside: "You two nobles, please come in quickly!"
Ning Zihan glanced at the plaque on the door in surprise, "Zai En Pavilion!"
Ning Zihan has not come to Zai'en Pavilion to have dinner, but the name of Yuyanzhai Zai'en Pavilion does not mean that Ning Zihan has never heard of it.
Except for a very few people, no one knows why Yuyanzhai has such an ordinary name. However, no one has ever been to the private room with this ordinary name!
Many people are curious about what is in Zai'en Pavilion, because Zai'en Pavilion has never received a guest since the date of renovation.
Many people have curiously asked the pretty female waiters in Yuyanzhai, but they only got one answer. The Zai'en Pavilion in Yuyanzhai only opens the door to one person.
Many people don't believe this evil. How can you still make money when a restaurant is open to welcome customers?
However, after two incidents, no one doubted its authenticity.
A wealthy businessman from Yangzhou angrily threw 300,000 taels of silver notes and wanted to entertain guests at Zai'en Pavilion, but the two female shopkeepers, Xue Bizhu and Huang Lingyi, respectfully declined without even looking at the 300,000 taels of silver notes.
The former governor Kong Dao wanted to entertain officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs and hoped to have a banquet at Zai'en Pavilion, but he was also rejected by the two female shopkeepers!
Kong Dao is one of the few people who knows the origin of Zai'en Pavilion. Zai'en Pavilion is the attic built by the girls left behind from Penglai Pavilion to express their gratitude for Liu Mingzhi's rebirth.
There is only one person who can be welcomed by Zai En Pavilion, and that is Young Master Liu Mingzhi!
Kong Dao had no choice but not to embarrass Xue Bizhu and the two girls. He invited the invigilator from the Ministry of Civil Affairs to go downstairs to drink.
The officials of the Ministry of Personnel were unconvinced. How could a small restaurant on the bank of the Qinhuai River in Jinling City put on airs? The governor of a state and his subordinate officers and the chief officials of the Ministry of Personnel wanted to have a meal but they were turned away. .
Later, when I learned the cause of the incident from Kong Dao, these officials almost collapsed to the ground.
You must know that at that time, the emperor went to sea and had not yet returned to Beijing, and Liu Dashao was still serving as the regent and in charge of the government.
If he dares to steal the regent's exclusive room, he is afraid that his immediate boss Du Chenghao will not help him.
Who asked his son to follow Liu Mingzhi on the Western Expedition!
Although Mr. Liu had some grievances with the officials due to the emperor's negligence when he first entered the capital, those grievances had long since disappeared as time passed!
After the bandits were suppressed in the south of the Yangtze River, several sons of Du Yu's ministers and ministers even jumped from being white to generals because of their military exploits.
At that time, several people in the official department knew that they couldn't afford to offend the two female shopkeepers in front of Qingcheng!
Some of the civil service examiners who had previously wanted Xue Bizhu and the two women to accompany them for drinks were even more frightened. They nodded and lowered their eyebrows, not even daring to look at the two women!
I am not afraid that the two women have nothing to do with the regent, but I am afraid that if they are related, my future will really be ruined!
It’s no wonder that several officials in the Ministry of Personnel were thinking wildly. Anyway, this was the first time in more than ten years of service that they had seen someone entering the palace. It was a common occurrence, and they could come and go as freely as if they were at home!
When Xue Bizhu opened the Zai'en Pavilion to entertain Young Master Liu, it was completely confirmed in Ning Zihan's mind that Young Master Liu and Xue Bizhu and Huang Lingyi had a "living" relationship!
Sometimes misunderstandings happen out of nowhere!
If Master Liu knew what Ning Zihan was thinking, he would definitely ride on Ning Zihan, an old man, and beat him up!
This young master is as pure and pure as a lotus flower that emerges from the mud and remains unsullied, but you, an old man, can taint someone's innocence out of thin air!
"What kind of tea would you like to drink?"
Xue Bizhu only focused on Young Master Liu and completely ignored Ning Zihan!
Not only did Ning Zihan not mind at all, but he secretly thought about whether he should find an excuse to leave and leave their world to Master Liu, whom he had always admired in his heart.
After all, a little separation is better than a newlywed, so staying here by yourself is really a bit embarrassing!
Young Master Liu couldn't bear Xue Bizhu's enthusiasm.
Sitting dully on the chair.
"Just arrange some home-cooked meals at will. Don't be too extravagant and wasteful. This is not good!"
"Come right away, just wait a moment!"
