Liu Mingzhi's shouts made the guests who were staring at Xue Bizhu's beautiful figure come back to their senses, and looked at Mr. Liu in surprise, who was holding up a book to sell.
The enchanting figure of Xue Bizhu entering the restaurant made them directly confirm that Xue Bizhu was the shopkeeper Xue, one of the two beauties of the restaurant.
He looked at Young Master Liu with both envy and curiosity.
Looking around the capital, I don't know how many high-ranking officials and wealthy young men are staring at the two famous restaurant Xishi, hoping to one day embrace the beauty, but in the end they all died in vain.
Who would have thought that such a beautiful lady would end up taking advantage of a bookseller who made a living by setting up a stall.
Although the business was good and they made a lot of money, the two Xishis also made a lot of money every year when they opened the restaurant. It may not be a little worse than the owner's family background.
Maybe even a little richer.
Many guests who knew Xue Bizhu's identity were queuing up silently while secretly sighing at the sight of a flower stuck in cow dung.
Perhaps because of the herd mentality of watching the excitement, the number of customers gathered in front of Liu Dashao's bookstall was not less, but more and more, which indirectly increased the passenger flow of Penglai Restaurant next to it.
Some people who knew the details of the bookstall and had a lot of money were really unwilling to line up in the bright sun, so they spent some money to hire some peddlers to help them line up, while they hid in the restaurant drinking and chatting.
The content of the conversation is naturally closely related to the content in Liu Mingzhi's book.
The sun sets over the western mountains and the sky is filled with haze.
Some people who got the news late and didn't buy the books, after getting Young Master Liu's promise to come to set up a stall tomorrow, could only sigh pitifully and watch as Young Master Liu hugged a wooden box more than a foot high, hey hey hey You walked towards Penglai Restaurant.
"Brother, how about you give me a copy? Anyway, the boss will come tomorrow, and you won't be able to read a few books in one night!"
Many smart-minded people smiled and gathered around those who bought the books. They obviously didn't know each other but started to call each other brothers.
The words woke up the dreamer, and most people reacted and surrounded the person with the bulging arms.
On the street under the sunset, a large number of two people who did not know each other appeared in a strange scene, but they instantly put their arms around each other and talked and laughed together.
As night falls, the lights in the boudoir on the second floor of Penglai Restaurant are still flickering.
Huang Lingyi's crisp and exciting words echoed in the boudoir.
"A total of more than 12,300 taels! When did money become so easy to earn?"
Young Master Liu, who was drinking tea, turned his eyes and glanced at Huang Lingyi, who was holding a banknote in his hand and stepping on a box of silver ingots, and smiled happily.
"So many?"
Huang Lingyi nodded blankly: "I've counted it three times, it's really more than 10,000 taels of silver.
Since when did selling books make so much money? If so, why would I and my sister open a restaurant? We could just accompany my husband and sell books together.
Husband, the amount of money you earn in one day is almost as much as our sisters’ income in just a few months. "
"No, Lingyi, please don't even think about this. My husband's business will only get worse in the future. It's impossible to sell so much money every day.
Reading doesn't happen every day with meals and drinks. A book can be read for a long time. Guests who are smart can pass the books they don't have to each other in private.
From now on, it would be great if we can sell dozens of copies every day.
Unless there is more follow-up content, then we can make as much money as we did today. "
Huang Lingyi's excited eyes suddenly dropped, and she nodded helplessly: "That's right, books can't be eaten, so I'd better just run the restaurant with my sister honestly.
By the way, husband, whose classics are you selling? The business is so booming. Are there any books related to next autumn? "
Young Master Liu narrowed his eyes and smiled at the wooden box in the corner: "I have compiled some books myself. If you are curious, you can read them for yourself!"
Huang Lingyi put down the banknote in his hand and walked towards the big box containing books in the corner with a curious expression.
A moment later, a sharp scream resounded through the restaurant. Huang Lingyi's face was red, she gave Young Master Liu a sweet and angry look, covered her cheeks and trotted towards the screen.
"Shameless! Dirty!"
Xue Bizhu pushed the door open and walked in with a copper basin for washing, looking at Young Master Liu in surprise.
"Husband, are you bullying Lingyi? Why is she screaming?"
Young Master Liu pointed at himself, who was sitting on a chair, sipping tea, and shrugged helplessly, indicating that he was wronged.
Xue Bizhu glanced behind the screen without knowing why, and placed the copper basin in front of Liu Mingzhi.
"Husband, soak your feet to relieve your fatigue!"
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Xue Bizhu smiled sweetly and reached out to take off Liu Mingzhi's shoes and socks: "It's not hard, it's all my duty."
The moon is rising high and the night is quiet.
After about half an hour of singing on the second floor of Penglai Restaurant, the crowd gradually calmed down.
The next day, around three o'clock in the morning, Mr. Liu started his book-selling career again.
The days passed by like this day by day.
The bookstall's business is so booming, as is the excitement when Young Master Liu is greeted by his eighteenth generation ancestors.
Compared with Li Buyi's implicit words, those readers who suddenly stopped following the story at the critical moment can be said to be excited and crying to greet Mr. Liu's ancestors.
There were even many perverts who came to the bookstall the next day with swords in hand and threatened Young Master Liu to hand over the subsequent chapters, otherwise they would have to fight to the death with Young Master Liu on the spot.
A few months passed in the blink of an eye, and Young Master Liu completely forgot about the three-part agreement he made with the officials.
The number of days to go to court is getting fewer and fewer each month, and by the end they are numbered.
Next to Penglai Restaurant, there is a book seller who is loved and hated by teenagers, young people and middle-aged people in the capital.
Obviously he was grinding his teeth with hatred, but when he learned that Mr. Liu had published a new chapter, the bookstall was still crowded with people, and there were so many people who wanted to read the book and read the follow-up.
"Liu Song, get the book for the guest!"
In the cold winter, Liu Song, who was holding a book but blushing while reading it, heard Young Master Liu's words and reluctantly threw the book down. He stood up to greet several young men with wretched looks and came in big cloaks and walked towards the bookstall. passed.
"Guest, what books are you bringing today?"
On the other hand, Young Master Liu was sitting on a small bench wrapped in a big cloak, holding a green-white jade hand in his big hand, stroking it gently while looking at it carefully.
After a moment, Mr. Liu smiled and looked at the beautiful lady opposite, who was wearing a light yellow cloak, an exquisite feather shirt and an embroidered skirt, and a beautiful face with a Xiaojiabiyu temperament, and raised his eyebrows a few times.
"Sister, your palmistry is not very good, is it? There is something very important missing in your life."
With Young Master Liu holding her hand, the pretty lady with a blushing face suddenly became nervous after hearing Young Master Liu's words: "Sir, don't scare the little girl. What does the little girl lack in her life? Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. ?”
Liu Mingzhi pursed his lips and shook his head, gently clasped the little beauty's palm and smiled: "Sister, you are destined to miss me!"
"You are missing in your destiny? Why haven't you heard, little girl, that there is also... Bah... a libertine in your destiny?"
The Erba beauty instinctively responded to Young Master Liu's words, and suddenly reacted. She secretly spat with blushing cheeks, and hurriedly pulled back the palm that Young Master Liu had grasped.
Looking at the vertical banner behind Young Master Liu that clearly stated the world's affairs, "I know my fortune and misfortune, I know my fate," the beauty's watery and pretty eyes rolled her eyes at Young Master Liu.
"Can you tell fortunes?"
"Of course I will, Master...Didn't Shanren forget it just now? Sister, you are missing me in your destiny.
How about, my brother invites you to go out to the city to enjoy the moon at the lake tonight? "
"You - shameless!"
"How do you say this? My brother's teeth are twice as good. If you don't believe me, just take a look!
How about going to the lake together to enjoy the moon at night? Brother tells you a story. "
The beautiful lady stood up in a hurry, stamped her lotus feet, covered her cheeks and ran towards the street: "Charlatan, I will ignore you!"
"Hey! Hey! Hey! Sister, you gave me the fortune-telling money after all!
well! The world is declining, people's hearts are not as old as they used to be, and so much talk is wasted. "
Young Master Liu, who was about to drink tea to soothe his throat, felt a darkness in front of him, and subconsciously looked up, only to see that the beautiful lady Erba who had just trotted away had actually gone and returned.
The beauty's big watery eyes looked around, her green and white jade fingers were tightly intertwined, and she looked at Young Master Liu with rosy cheeks.
"What...what time?"
Young Master Liu was stunned and looked at the shy beauty in confusion: "Ah? What time?"
The 28-year-old beauty gave Young Master Liu an angry look: "Tour the lake...please enjoy the moon on the lake!
Aren’t you going to invite me to swim in the lake and admire the moon?
The little girl’s maiden name is Xue Xintong, and she lives in Xue Mansion, the 28th household on Baihu Street in the inner city. Don’t make a mistake. When will you go to the back door of Xue Mansion to wait for me?
I can ask the maid to help me watch the guard slip out. "
"Hiss...Uh...what time! What time! What time!"
Young Master Liu clenched his chin with a tangled expression, unable to explain the reason.
Xue Xintong looked around shyly, feeling like everyone was secretly watching her every move.
He stamped his lotus feet hastily and looked at Young Master Liu anxiously: "Speak quickly! It won't be good if someone you know sees me."
"Uh! This is the hour! This is the hour! How about I go home and ask my wife when she will let me come out and give you an answer?"
Xue Xintong's shy pretty face suddenly froze, and her lips twitched as she looked at Young Master Liu: "You...you already have a family?"
"My brother is so old, it is not normal to have a family..."
With a splash of water, Xue Xintong dropped the tea cup in her hand on the small table with a gossip tablecloth, glared at Young Master Liu fiercely, snorted and turned around to leave.
"Lake! You are shameless! Despicable! A stinking scoundrel."
Young Master Liu raised his hand to wipe the tea from his face, and clicked his tongue while watching Xue Xintong's retreating figure.
"It tastes good enough, what a pity!"
Pouring another cup of tea and putting it in his mouth, Young Master Liu smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Shameless, that's an understatement. This young master has indeed gone too far. All he needs is a small amount of money. How can he flirt with me if he doesn't marry me?"
"Da Guoguo, how about helping my little sister do some divination? You can also figure out what little sister is missing in her life!"
"Pfft...puff...you...you...why are you here?"
