Hongxiu Restaurant was named Hongxiu Restaurant after the three of them agreed on a partnership. The charges were not as expensive as before, but the business was much better than before.
If you don't have a reservation at night, you will definitely not be able to wait for the private room you want.
Ye Zhiqiu gave birth to Li Xiaoxue during the winter solstice, so she stayed in the academy for confinement. In the restaurant, only Tang Youyu was busy, while Li Hongxiu sat on the fourth floor, chatting with her husband.
There was a plate of peanuts and melon seeds on the table. The husband was sitting at the table making tea. Li Hongxiu was sitting by the window, watching the winter snow and cold wind blowing through the fresh sky during the day, holding a teacup in her hand to warm her hands. .
It was only a quarter of the hour, and the lunch guests hadn't arrived yet, so the whole restaurant seemed a little deserted. Li Hongxiu squinted her eyes and looked out the window at the white world.
Thinking that after suffering for many years, I finally waited for my husband to return. He tapped the teacup with his fingers and hummed: "The clouds are like the clothes, the flowers are like the face, the spring breeze is blowing the Revlon..."
The husband looked at her and laughed twice, and said sarcastically: "Do you regret spending five hundred gold coins to buy this poem with Ye'er? In today's situation, you can do it without spending a penny. Let him give it to you honestly."
Hearing the meaning of the gentleman's words, Li Hongxiu gave him an angry look and said quietly: "How can we capture that boy's thoughts without spending the five hundred gold coins? It is even more impossible to bring you to me and rush to him." That alone is worth it.”
The husband looked at her and smiled, thought for a moment, and waved Li Hongxiu over to sit across from him.
He looked at her and said seriously: "Are you willing to follow me everywhere in the future? Ye'er and I are destined to go to many places, and we don't know what kind of stories will happen in the future."
"I am where you are, don't ever think of leaving me again." Li Hongxiu gave him a hard look.
"Speaking of Ye'er, I don't know if Xiaoqing came back yesterday, and I didn't see her come over to say anything." The gentleman drank all the tea in the cup.
Looking at Li Hongxiu, he said: "If you have nothing to do, why not go to the academy and sit down, firstly to see the Master and Madam, and secondly to find out about Ye'er's situation."
"Do you want to come with me? Or do you and Fatty Tang stay in the restaurant to do business?"
Li Hongxiu patted the red cotton-padded jacket on her body and said with a smile: "Of course I will go with you, isn't it just a short walk? What am I afraid of?" She knew that her husband would never take a carriage in the city.
The gentleman lowered the charcoal fire in the stove, put an iron lid on it and suffocated the flames. The two of them walked downstairs one after another.
...
Before the two of them entered the flower hall of their husband's house, they heard Mu Mu's laughter coming from inside.
The master looked at the gentleman and Li Hongxiu who came in, and quickly came over and took the gentleman's hand and said, "I was just asking Agui to invite you over, just in time. Let's have hot pot at noon."
The husband showed his wife a happy look and said with a smile: "Why do you want to eat hot pot for something happy? Madam, can't you eat something as violent as hot pot?"
Li Hongxiu walked up to Ye Zhiqiu and took her hand and said, "Why don't you just lie on the bed and go to the flower hall to enjoy the wind? What should you do if you catch the cold?"
Ye Zhiqiu clapped her hand and said softly: "I'm not used to sleeping too much. It's been so many days. I don't have so many things to pay attention to. We are all practitioners. I am already a practitioner in the golden elixir realm. How can I catch the wind and cold? "
Mu Mu came over and hugged Li Hongxiu, leaning on her and refusing to go away.
The master was very interested and took his husband to sit down at the table. He ironed two teacups for him and Li Hongxiu, poured hot tea and handed it to the husband: "Xiaoqing brought a leg of antelope meat last night. It was very good." It’s fresh, let’s try making hot pot at night.”
Xiaoqing was sitting on the side holding a book and reading. She saw her husband coming in and was about to talk to him.
"How is Ye'er? How far has his state reached? Have you told him what I want to say? He is now practicing alone in Tianshan, and I don't know if his practice is going smoothly..."
Looking at his husband's expression, Ye Zhiqiu sighed and said, "I know, sir, that you are worried that Ye'er is not safe alone in the mountains. But since he has chosen this path, we can only support him unconditionally and cannot hold him back."
Xiao Qing took the words and said: "He is very good in the mountain. He has two seniors, Lao Yuan and Lao Lang, and Xiao Bai accompanying him. He will not be alone. He has a realm of cultivation and is even more scary. I forced him to do it last night He must take the elixir you gave him, sir."
Li Hongxiu said mockingly: "When you mention this kid, you all seem to be talking about something mysterious. Could it be that he has achieved the golden elixir by himself in such a short period of time?"
The husband was angry, looked at her and said, "Are you a disciple who doesn't believe in my teachings?"
Li Hongxiu was startled and replied with some disdain: "I just don't dare to believe it. How dare I question your ability."
Everyone was speechless.
Mu Mu suddenly said: "Xiaoqing, you won't tell me that your brother's realm is the same as mine. You are scaring me. I still want to find the place on the mountain one day."
Master looked at Mu Mu in surprise and said, "Mu Mu, your kung fu is so good, how can Ye'er bully you?"
Ye Zhiqiu looked at these people arguing, shook his head and laughed, thinking that he was already several decades old, but like Mu Mu and Xiao Qing, he liked to quarrel and was not embarrassed.
Xiaoqing blushed, looked at her husband, walked over and whispered something in his ear.
The husband stared at her in disbelief. Xiaoqing nodded heavily. The gentleman picked up the tea in front of him and took a long sip.
He said with emotion: "I repeatedly held his ear and said: Don't break through, don't break through, but he just didn't listen! If he were in front of me now, I would definitely punish him severely,"
"Fortunately, I brought the elixir back this time, otherwise something big will happen to him one day."
Li Hongxiu looked into her husband's eyes and said seriously: "What state is that boy in now?"
Master, Ye Zhiqiu, and Mu Mu all stared at Sir, wanting to know the answer.
The gentleman was slightly startled, looked at a few people, and then looked at Li Hongxiu and said: "When you were his age, you were definitely not as powerful as he is now."
"Can you tell us the truth? Xiaoqing, why did you only tell your husband?" Li Hongxiu asked.
Xiaoqing blushed, sat down to the side, held up the book in her hand, and whispered: "Sir, if you don't want me to say anything, please don't embarrass me..."
The gentleman shook his head, picked up the teacup in his hand and said, "I won't let Xiaoqing tell you because I'm afraid that you won't be able to control your mouth and will run outside and talk nonsense. This will make someone with intentions think about Ye'er and put him aside." in a dangerous situation.”
He shook the empty teacup in his hand and muttered in embarrassment.
Then he looked at the servant and said: "You don't need to know about his previous realm. You only need to know that from this moment on, his realm is the first level of the Golden Core. If anyone asks about Ye'er's realm, remember: just say no. You know, it might be the fifth level of Qi Gathering, or it might be the sixth or seventh level."
"No matter who asks this question, don't answer it. You are all his closest relatives. I don't want you to cause endless trouble to him because of your drunken remarks! Remember, it's all of you. Don't be outside. Discuss Ye’er’s spiritual practice.”
Li Hongxiu thought silently for a moment and then nodded and said: "I understand this. Li Ye is not a monster. If someone with a heart knows about it, he will definitely be captured and boiled into elixirs for study."
The Master sighed deeply. "Yertan's special physique is a good thing or a disaster. We, as a couple, just hope that he can grow up in peace and live a stable life."
Agui ran all the way to the flower hall, respectfully placed two plates of peanuts and melon seeds on the table, then looked at the master and said, "The hot pot base is ready. Should we serve it now or wait for a while?"
Ye Zhiqiu thought for a while and said softly: "Wait a while, let's chat first."
Agui nodded and said yes, then turned and walked towards the kitchen in the flower hall.
The master took out a wine jar wrapped in red paper from under the table and handed it to the gentleman on the ground. Said: "It is said to be a twenty-year-old wine in the city. We can have a good drink at noon."
The gentleman passed the wine vat, carefully looked at the seal and label on it, turned to look at Xiaoqing and said, "In addition to asking you to bring the meat, what else did Ye'er bring? Did you send me a message?"
Xiaoqing looked at the book in his hand and answered the husband's question softly: "He only asked me to say hello to everyone for him, and did not send a message to the husband alone. Also, he brought two Tianshan Snow Lotuses. , to Mrs. Confucius and his sister."
"Can he still collect Tianshan snow lotus?" the gentleman asked curiously. "Could it be that he went to the top of the mountain? How could he go up to such a dangerous place? But this snow lotus is an excellent thing, just suitable for the wife and the newborn girl."
"He didn't pick this snow lotus. It was a gift from the old wolf on the mountain to Mrs. Confucius." Xiao Qing raised her head and looked at everyone and said.
The husband nodded and said, looking at the master and his wife, "You two find a suitable time to take the snow lotus and boil it into soup. The portion of half a flower for each person is just right. The little girl can't eat it now. Wait until after the full moon." , tear it into pieces and give it to her slowly, at least in three to six months, don’t be impatient."
The gentleman put the wine jar on the table, looked at Ye Zhiqiu and said, "What is the outcome of your discussion as a couple? What name should you give the little girl? Didn't you ask Xiaoqing to ask Ye'er? What did he say?"
"Ye'er said: Li Dongxue's name is too heavy. It's better to call me Li Xiaoxue. I think the big name and the small name have been solved. Sir, which name do you think is better?"
Xingsheng was silent for a moment, tapped the table with his fingers, and said: "He likes Xiaoxue, so let's call him Xiaoxue. This name is simple, and life is simple."
Xiaoqing's eyes lit up when he heard this, and she said with a smile: "Sir, you are so awesome. Li Ye also said that Xiaoxue is simple and a simple life is good. It seems that you two have the same idea."
Mu Mu frowned and pouted: "You have a younger sister, so you don't feel sorry for Mu Mu anymore." She hugged Li Hongxiu, her eyes red.
Ye Zhiqiu looked at her and smiled: "You stupid kid, how can you compete with your sister for favor? You are the sister now. You have to play with her well in the future, you know?"
Before she could finish her words, a baby's cry came from the room.
Li Hongxiu teased Mu Mu in her arms and said with a smile: "Look at you, you scared my sister to tears."
Everyone in the room couldn't help laughing.
"Is the business in the restaurant okay?" Ye Zhiqiu looked at Li Hongxiu and asked with a smile.
"Of course it's good, but it makes Old Tang very busy." Li Hongxiu said with a smile.
"Are you helping? Or are you going to be the shopkeeper who gives up?" Ye Zhiqiu knew Li Hongxiu's temperament, but he still couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing has been done. What can I do?" Li Hongxiu looked at her and muttered.
"You are such a lazy person!" Ye Zhiqiu laughed. .
"Where I sit, no one dares to make trouble, that's enough." Li Hongxiu looked at her and corrected her seriously.
"I am convinced that you can find such an obedient partner like Tang Youyu." Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile.
"Your Li Ye and his son are brothers, and the fat man is on the opposite side of your wife. That's why we got together!" Li Hongxiu couldn't help but laugh thinking about the little guy on Tianshan Mountain.
The gold coins I spent back then were really worth it.
