"I will definitely come here often in the future! I won't make you feel lonely!" Zhao Xuanyi patted Tang Rou's hand gently.
"Let go first, I can't even hold the shovel!" After getting Zhao Xuanyi's answer, Tang Rou slowly let go of her hand. Zhao Xuanyi waved the shovel. Soon after, three home-cooked dishes were served on the table. One was fried pork with green onions. , one is scrambled eggs with leeks, and the other is cucumbers, three ordinary home-cooked dishes!
Tang Rou took a bite and her eyes showed surprise. The pork was very smooth and tender, as if biting on the petals of a flower. Tang Rou liked this special texture very much. How was it made?
"I didn't expect your skills to be so good!"
"I used to cook for myself in the dormitory!" Zhao Xuanyi said casually!
"Dorm? What area is it?" Tang Rou asked.
"Ah?" Zhao Xuanyi really wanted to slap himself, why did he tell the truth?
"Oh, it's the name of a village in Border Pass. Didn't I take care of it for a while?"
"Oh! It's delicious. You should come over often to cook for me in the future!" Tang Rou cast a seductive wink at Zhao Xuanyi and said with a playful face.
"Sure! Put your eyes away. If I know you use this look on other men, I will never pay attention to you again!" Zhao Xuanyi said pretending to be angry.
"No!" Tang Rou hugged Zhao Xuanyi's arm, acted coquettishly and gave free kisses. Tang Rou knew the man's preferences very well, making Zhao Xuanyi unable to resist!
"Eat quickly, it will get cold in a while!" Zhao Xuanyi encountered Tang Rou's coquettish behavior and couldn't bear to blame her!
"Okay!" Tang Rou smiled, picking up the meat and eating it, putting it in her mouth with a look of enjoyment on her face. Zhao Xuanyi took a jar of peach blossom wine. Don't worry, Tang Rou kept her word. There were already ten jars of wine in the room, which was much more than last time. It seemed that Tang Rou had prepared enough wine for herself!
Before Zhao Xuanyi picked up the wine glass and drank it, Tang Rou snatched it away. Before Zhao Xuanyi could finish speaking, Tang Rou drank the wine in one gulp, then turned her head and kissed Zhao Xuanyi's lips, pried open Zhao Xuanyi's teeth, and Feed all the wine to Zhao Xuanyi.
Zhao Xuanyi drank all of the beauty wine glass. It was his first time to try it. He was so enlightened and refreshed!
"One more drink!" Zhao Xuanyi raised a finger and said.
"Hahaha!" Tang Rou picked up the wine jar on the side and continued to toast Zhao Xuanyi. The two of them had a very delicious dinner!
Shen Wei rode a horse and walked into the capital in the early morning sunshine. As a young master, he would feel uncomfortable if he did not do anything for a day. He really had to be more careful and not be discovered by people he knew, otherwise he would be in trouble. Thinking of this , Shen Wei also took out a veil hat and brought it with him!
Arriving at the door of Tang Rou's house, Shen Wei gently knocked on the door, and Zhao Xuanyi's voice came from inside.
"Come out immediately!" Zhao Xuanyi looked at Tang Rou in his arms
"I'm going to work first. I'll be back in two days!"
"Yeah!" Tang Rou nodded obediently. Zhao Xuanyi lowered his head and kissed Tang Rou on the lips, then opened the door and walked out!
When Tang Rou saw Shen Wei, she smiled slightly and nodded gently as a greeting. Shen Wei also nodded in return. After all, Tang Rou is now Zhao Xuanyi's woman, and she is also the one Shen Wei wants to respect!
Zhao Xuanyi placed a jar of peach blossom wine in Shen Wei's hand
"Sister Tang gave it to you!" Shen Wei was very surprised when he took it into his hand and smiled instantly.
"Oh, this is really good wine. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it! Thank you, Miss Tang!"
"Brother Shen, you're welcome!" Tang Rou said with a smile. Zhao Xuanyi waved to Tang Rou, closed the door, mounted his horse, put on his veil, and then he and Shen Wei left the alley on horseback and rushed to the military camp.
After leaving the city gate, Zhao Xuanyi dared to speak
"There was nothing unexpected yesterday, right?"
"There is no accident, but these soldiers are exhausted, and they are all complaining! I didn't let them run around this morning, let them rest all morning!" Shen Wei opened the mouth of the jar, took a sip, and let out a sound sigh
“Good wine!”
"You don't have any meat yet, so you start drinking?" Zhao Xuanyi said with a smile.
"Who would eat food when there is good wine?" Shen Wei said happily. Zhao Xuanyi took out a handful of peanuts from his sleeve
"Here, I'll give you something to eat!"
"Oh, thank you so much, young master!" Shen Wei took the peanuts over with a smile, and sat on the horse while eating peanuts and drinking wine. It was so comfortable.
"Don't tell me, this Tang Rou is much better than your wife. Divorce Li Hanyan and marry Tang Rou back!"
"Aren't you, Brother Shen? I bought you off with just a bottle of wine?"
"Nonsense, your wife never gave me a glass of wine!" Shen Wei finished speaking and took another sip!
"How's it going with Zhang Han? How many weapons have we made?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.
"Not many, just over fifty pairs, but it's already very fast! The steel has been bought back, and I can probably make more than two hundred pairs! Even if the military salary allows you to use it at will, you can't just spend tens of thousands of taels, right? "The meaning of Shen Wei's words is very simple. Don't spend too much, otherwise it will really arouse public outrage!"
Zhao Xuanyi also understood what Shen Wei said. Although Li Yukun and Li Hanrui didn't care how they spent their military pay, other soldiers and some officials in the court who wanted to find trouble must have been targeting him for a long time!
After spending so much money, it would really be unjustifiable if I didn’t make some achievements.
"Looks like I need to think of a solution! I need to get some money!" Zhao Xuanyi said with a smile. When Shen Wei heard this, he held the wine jar in his arms
"Sir, do you have any plans again?" Zhao Xuanyi chuckled.
"If you want to shut up those fools, the best way is to scare them so much that they don't dare to open their mouths! Brother Shen, I have something to arrange for you. You have to be careful and help me get it done!"
"Young Master, please speak!" Zhao Xuanyi rode to Shen Wei's side and whispered a few words in front of Shen Wei. Shen Wei's eyes widened instantly.
"Young Master, are you thinking...?"
"It's not illegal, and you might get unexpected praise. You should implement this as soon as possible. There is not much time. I plan to implement it in a month! From today on, remember the first hundred people who come back every day. , train them first!”
"Yes! I understand!" Shen Wei nodded. After Zhao Xuanyi arrived at the military camp, he directly found Su Daqi
"Uncle, how was your rest yesterday?"
"Yes, very good! Sir, you are so enthusiastic!" Su Daqi said with a smile.
"You're welcome, uncle, we are all one family. Have you seen the sand and bluestone I brought back yesterday? Do you think it can be used?"
"The little old man has already seen it, and everything is fine. The sand and soil are enough for the time being, but we still need some bluestone. Also, it is best to get more wood, which is also necessary!" Su Daqi said.
Zhao Xuanyi turned to look at Tang Tianli
"Did you hear that?"
"Yes! My subordinates will arrange with Brother Shen this afternoon to transport the bluestone in a carriage and let the soldiers go to the barren mountains to cut wood!" Tang Tianli replied immediately.
"Be careful, don't cut down any wood in the barren mountains and ridges, don't touch other people's wood, it will not be easy to calm down if trouble occurs!" Zhao Xuanyi reminded.
"Yes! I understand!"
"Depending on the length of the wood, arrange a certain number of people to transport it back, and put a few more people to transport the wood. There are not enough two days in one day, so don't tire out the soldiers! The food must also keep up!"
"Yes! Sun Yan kills pigs every day and is almost turning into a butcher!" Tang Tianli said with a smile.
"Hahaha!" Zhao Xuanyi laughed. After arranging things, everyone started working on their own. Zhao Xuanyi returned to the big tent and continued to draw his own drawings. Shen Wei walked into the tent with a tangled face, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it.
"What's wrong? Is something wrong?" Zhao Xuanyi asked. Shen Wei scratched his hair
"Young Master, there has been some news recently. I don't know whether I should tell you or not!" Zhao Xuanyi put down his brush and felt that something was wrong.
"What words?"
"It's just that... there are some, no, there are many soldiers, and there are a few centurions who seem to want to join the Dark Night Qilin you formed, so Tang Tianli is very attentive. I heard that they invited you to eat and give money, it seems There are still people who are planning to invite Tang Tianli to Cuihua Pavilion!"
"Cuihua Pavilion? Why does it sound so familiar?"
"Zuichun Tower, Cuihua Pavilion, and Baihuatang are the three most famous brothels in the capital. Haven't you heard that jingle? There is a lingering sound outside Zuichun Tower. Autumn swallows are flying in Cuihua Pavilion, and thousands of flowers are flying in Baihuatang. Butterflies gathering!" Zhao Xuanyi looked at Shen Wei
"The lingering sound outside Zuichun Tower must be Tang Rou's piano skills, right? What do the other two sentences mean?"
"Qiu Yanfei in Cuihua Pavilion. I heard that the number one in Cuihua Pavilion is called Han Qiuyan. Her dancing skills are top-notch, she is beautiful, and her body is light. She once danced on a man's arm and became famous in one fell swoop. And she finally became famous. The most amazing thing is the flying bowl bridge, which is unique in the capital!"
"Dancing on the bowl bridge? What do you mean?"
"I have never seen it, but I heard that two bowls are used as bridge piers, and chopsticks are placed on them as bridges, and then they dance on the bridge, that is, dancing on the chopsticks, and they will not fall down!" After hearing this, Zhao Xuanyi couldn't believe it.
“Can anyone really dance on chopsticks?”
"I heard it is, but none of my subordinates have seen it before!" Shen Wei said.
"What about the last one?"
"Thousands of butterflies gathered in Baihuatang. The number one in the Baihuatang brothel is called Landie. I heard that she was born with body fragrance. Every time she dances or sings, her body will emit a special fragrance, which will attract some butterflies every time. Together with Tang Rou, these three can be regarded as the most famous brothels in the capital!" Zhao Xuanyi smiled after hearing this
"I guess none of them are cheap. The annual salary of these soldiers is only a few taels of silver. How can they afford Tang Tianli to go to Cuihua Pavilion? They are very rich!"
"If you just go to see Han Qiuyan dance, it won't cost much. A dozen taels will be enough. But the problem is, if Tang Tianli really accepts it, then these centurions will really enter the Dark Night Kirin! Young Master, this What do you want to see?"
"Did they agree to go that day?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.
"It's just these two days if nothing unexpected happens!"
"Very good, after finding out, I also want to see Han Qiuyan's dance. We will also learn a lot about it then!" Zhao Xuanyi said with an indifferent expression.
"Yes!" After a busy afternoon, all the soldiers brought back more than 3,000 pieces of wood and fifty carts of bluestone. These items were enough for a period of time. Zhao Xuanyi did not break his promise and killed the pig directly!
At night, all the lights in the capital city are lit up, and the streets and alleys are full of people coming out for a walk after dinner. The night markets in the capital city also have stalls one after another. Even at night, the streets are bustling with people just like during the day!
Tang Tianli was surrounded by five people and came to the door of Cuihua Pavilion.
"Brother Tang, today I invite you to watch Han Qiuyan's dance in the Cuihua Pavilion. This is one of the best in the capital!" Tang Tianli laughed.
"These brothers are too polite, how can I bear it?"
"Brother Tang, what are you talking about? Please ask Brother Tang to help you with your future prospects. Let's go in and chat!" As they spoke, the five of them walked into Cuihua Pavilion with Tang Tianli!
After entering, I saw that more than a dozen tables in the hall were almost full. Several people found a table near the front and sat down. A woman in her forties came over.
"These distinguished guests look strange. They came to our Cuihua Pavilion today. What do you want to do? The girls here are all very beautiful!"
"Beautiful? Really? Give us Brother Tang one, we are mainly here today to watch Miss Qiuyan dance!"
"Yes, yes, good wine and good food are served. Apart from sending a beautiful girl to our brother Tang, there is no need for anything else!"
"When will Miss Qiuyan dance?" Everyone was talking to each other, which made the woman a little overwhelmed. Can't she ask one by one?
"It's coming, it's coming. Miss Qiuyan will be here to perform the dance in half an hour. Please wait a moment! Hongxia, come to accompany our distinguished guests!" A woman in her twenties wearing a red dress left. Come over and sit next to Tang Tianli
"This young master, I am Hongxia!"
"Ah... I am Tang Tianli!" Has Tang Tianli ever enjoyed this kind of treatment? The commotion was a bit tense, and I couldn’t speak clearly!
The other five people laughed when they saw it
"I'm telling you, girl, our eldest brother is a good man. It's his first time in the brothel today. Please take care of him!"
