Su Xiaolou was lying on the bed, still feeling nauseous. He had obviously experienced painful vomiting last night, drank too much, and was completely immersed in an unconscious state of drunkenness.
Xiong Er also slowly woke up, his face pale.
"Did you help me back last night?"
Xiong Er trembled and held his head, shaking his head slightly: "No, I don't even know how I got back, let alone help you back."
When the two of them walked out of the room to wash their faces, the hall downstairs had been cleaned spotlessly. According to the shopkeeper, the guys from the inn carried them back, but the Shangrao magistrate and others seemed to be still intoxicated in last night's banquet, and did not return to their rooms until the morning.
After Su Xiaolou finished washing, he met Zhou Baihu when he went upstairs.
"Did you just wake up too?"
Zhou Baihu nodded: "I drank a little too much last night and got up late."
Su Xiaolou looked at the energetic Zhou Baihu and asked, "Didn't you vomit?"
"No." Zhou Baihu said with a proud smile: "I drank relatively little later and played hut with a group of people, and I easily defeated them."
"You go and wash up first."
Zhou Baihu asked: "Are we going to continue our journey today?"
Su Xiaolou did not answer clearly: "Let's decide at noon."
Xiong Er came over and said, "Boss, I'm going to make some hangover broth. What do you want for breakfast?"
Su Xiaolou felt his stomach churning: "Just bring me a bowl of porridge and pickles."
Xiong Er cooked a large pot of hangover broth and placed it next to the corridor. The soldiers who woke up scooped it up and drank it one by one.
Kill one thousand enemies and lose two thousand yourself.
After last night's feast, both sides suffered a severe blow, and the entire army was unable to continue fighting. Although Su Xiaolou's side had a larger number of people, it suffered a heavy defeat.
Luo Ben got up at noon and drank a bowl of hangover soup.
Su Xiaolou and others came over and asked, "Brother Luo, can you go on your way?"
"sure."
"Don't force yourself. If you feel bad, we can rest for a while."
"It's okay." Luo Ben said proudly: "Last night, I defeated those guys from Hechi one by one. If Shangrao County Magistrate hadn't escaped quickly, I would have made him vomit out his entrails."
"The county magistrate of Shangrao?" Su Xiaolou covered his mouth and snickered: "You were as close to him as brothers last night, but today you become the county magistrate of Shangrao?"
Luo Ben laughed loudly: "Brothers are like siblings, and women are like clothes."
Zhou Baihu said somewhat suspiciously: "Are you explaining it the other way around?"
Luo Ben looked sideways at Zhou Baihu: "If you don't have hands and feet, can you still leave the house? If you don't have clothes, can you go out looking decent?"
"..."
Su Xiaolou was deeply shocked by Luo Ben's words. He didn't expect that he could say such philosophical words. However, on the other hand, this also proves the fact that a person who will do whatever it takes to pursue his cousin is more interested in the opposite sex than respecting human nature. He can even betray his brother for the sake of a woman. , act without hesitation.
...
...
Nanjing.
There was no sound of drums, no sound of cannons, and no warm atmosphere of banquets. Changle Musical Instrument Workshop, located next to Su's house, quietly opened.
Just like Yue Qingyan, the owner of the musical instrument shop, it is quiet and deserted, without any bright spots.
The three women stood at the gate, watching the workers hanging the plaques.
Tu Yao looked at the plaque and couldn't help but glance at the calm and elegant store name "Yue Qingyan" and asked: "Why not call it 'Qingyan Musical Instrument Workshop'?"
Yue Qingyan smiled lightly: "Changle, isn't this bad?"
Yue Ziyi said unceremoniously: "This name is a bit rustic."
"..."
Yue Qingyan couldn't laugh or cry: "This is my real name."
Yue Ziyi was stunned for a moment: "But isn't your name Yue Qingyan?"
Yue Qingyan shook his head gently: "Yue Qingyan is just the stage name I used in Fengyue Tower. My real name is Li Changle."
"oh."
Tu Yao once ran a musical theater and knew that many girls would give them stage names because their real names might not be attractive enough, such as "Erya", "Zhaodi", "Gangzi" and so on.
Of course, when male guests enter a brothel, they will shout "Peach Red", "Lvliu", "Wan'er", etc. It would definitely not be elegant if they suddenly shouted "Your son, come and accompany me".
Tu Yao understood that those women who left the hustle and bustle of the world wanted to live an ordinary life after leaving the world of fireworks, so many of them would restore their real names. So she asked: "Then can we call you sister Changle from now on?"
Yue Qingyan looked at Tu Yao gratefully, but she shook her head: "I can't change my name back to my real name, you know."
After last night's feast, both sides suffered a severe blow, and the entire army was unable to continue fighting. Although Su Xiaolou's side had a large number of people, it suffered a heavy defeat.
Luo Ben got up at noon and drank a bowl of hangover soup.
Su Xiaolou and others came over and asked, "Brother Luo, can you keep going?"
"sure."
"Don't force yourself. If you feel bad, we can rest for a while."
"It's okay." Luo Ben said proudly: "Last night I defeated those guys from Hechi one by one. If Shangrao County Magistrate hadn't escaped quickly, I would have made him vomit out his entrails."
"The county magistrate of Shangrao?" Su Xiaolou covered his mouth and snickered: "You were as close to him as brothers last night, but today you become the county magistrate of Shangrao?"
Luo Ben laughed loudly: "Brothers are like brothers and sisters, and women are like clothing."
Zhou Baihu said somewhat suspiciously: "Are you explaining it backwards?"
Luo Ben looked sideways at Zhou Baihu: "If you don't have hands and feet, can you still leave the house? If you don't have clothes, can you go out looking decent?"

After the workers hung up the plaque, the three fairies walked into the front yard. The restored old house had a brand new look and was filled with wood for making musical instruments.
In the inner courtyard, the steward gathered three violin makers and more than a dozen craftsmen.
"Hello, boss!"
The eldest boss, Yue Qingyan, just nodded slightly, while his boss, Yue Ziyi, looked indifferent.
Tu Yao, the head shopkeeper who had no money to invest in the shares, spoke on their behalf: "Our Changle Musical Instrument Workshop will rely on you from now on. If we all work together, the boss will not treat you badly."
The violin makers and craftsmen nodded in unison: "Thank you, my boss, and thank you, the shopkeeper."
Tu Yao called the three violin makers into the side room: "Three masters, come in with us."
The steward and the three luthiers followed the three fairies into the side room.
Yue Qingyan doesn't know how to make instruments, but she has played the instrument for so many years and is very proficient in music. She has personally selected the three young instrument makers. They were all apprentices in major musical instrument workshops and have already learned instrument making from their masters. Over the years, he has developed the ability to make instruments independently.
There are three masters, one makes the harp, one makes the zither, and one makes the pipa.
Although they are not yet famous luthiers, the instruments they make sound excellent.
Tu Yao started to boast: "The three of us live in the Li Mansion next door. Do you know who the owner of the Li Mansion is?"
The three luthier makers nodded and said, "I know, Mr. Li is the commander-in-chief of Nanjing Jinyiwei Zhenfusi."
Tu Yao nodded: "As long as he mentions it, the brothels along the Qinhuai River will buy our musical instruments. Our musical instruments will definitely be sold. You can rest assured of this. As long as you can make high-quality musical instruments, the labor cost will be higher than that of your masters." There’s more.”
Yue Qingyan solemnly said: "I have only one request. Every instrument you make must be refined and must not be defective."
"Understand, we will never live up to your expectations."
Yue Qingyan turned to the person in charge and ordered: "The craftsmen should do the same."
The manager nodded and said, "Master, please don't worry."
Tu Yao continued to boast: "Our musical instrument shop has just opened and is not well-known yet. You are not yet a well-known violin maker, so the price of the instruments we make will definitely be relatively low, but that doesn't matter. When you become world-famous violin makers, , your piano will become a priceless treasure, and by then, your daily income will be beyond imagination."
The three luthiers were delighted when they heard it, and their hearts were filled with longing for a better future.
Earn more money in a day than you imagined? The two fairies standing next to them looked embarrassed. Tu Yao was really good at exaggerating. In order to ensure the quality of the instruments, the first batch of wood they purchased was the best, and the strings they equipped were also the most expensive. Whether the cost of the instrument can be recovered remains to be considered...
