The tavern is closed.
The door of the closed tavern was ajar.
Sitting on the half-open door threshold was a little girl wearing a floral cotton-padded jacket.
The little girl has two long braids.
She hugged her knees with her hands and sat on the threshold. She raised her head slightly and looked at the white roofs across the alley and the white snow that was still flying.
Her eyes seemed a little glazed over.
Her thoughts seemed to drift far away with the snow.
When Li Chenan and others got off the carriage and arrived at the door of the tavern, the girl had clearly heard the crunching footsteps, but she did not look away.
He didn't even turn around to look at them.
She said something:
"It's Chinese New Year, the tavern is closed, I want to drink, come back on the fifth day of the first lunar month!"
She seemed to be thinking about something that was inappropriate for her age, and her face, which was red from the cold, looked sad.
She also didn't notice that many neighbors were coming out of Erjinggou Alley at this moment.
But no one dared to come close.
No one even made a sound.
They looked at the two carriages from a distance, and finally their eyes fell on the young man standing at the door.
The young man was wearing a black cotton robe and a dark red cloak.
There was also a dark sword on his back.
He stood in the snow, as if he were a proud snow-green pine!
He is Li Chenan!
He is the original fool from Guangling City!
He is the little boss of this tavern...
In March, he stayed in this tavern.
He often gets up early in the morning for a run and chats with his neighbors.
By then, he was no longer stupid.
At that time, he was no longer as lonely as before.
He was willing to communicate with people, and even after the business in the tavern was booming and making a lot of money, he was still easy-going.
In the eyes of the neighbors in Erjinggou Alley, he was completely different from the Li Chenan he once was!
Yesterday, he returned to Guangling City. In the eyes of the people in Guangling City, he was already someone who could not be looked up to.
At this time he came to the tavern where he started.
No matter how close the neighbor was, they now dare not come up to him and talk to him like before.
He is already the supreme regent of Ning Kingdom!
He came to the tavern, thinking that Cui Sanniang and the little girl named Cuihua who came to the tavern would live a good life with him in the future.
Cuihua knew that Li Chenan was back yesterday.
She was very happy.
Also very worried.
What makes her happy is that the guy who taught her how to make wine and put pen to paper has become a success in one fell swoop.
When I went to Kyoto, I really looked like a real person.
What worries me is...the coffin shop in the alley of the Four Temples!
The coffin shop in Kyoto has long been closed.
Then the coffin shop in the Four Temples, which has been open until now but has long since lost business, is probably about to close.
When my grandfather was still alive, he said, that door cannot be closed!
Because the four coffins left inside need to contain four people!
Four people I couldn’t kill!
So can we count on him?
Cuihua withdrew her gaze, but still did not turn her head. Her gaze fell on the snow in front of her, and she saw a pair of dark deerskin boots.
She was startled slightly, and then she heard that familiar voice:
"In such a cold day, wouldn't it be better to sit by the fire and relax?"
Cuihua raised her head and turned her head, her eyes suddenly shone with a light of joy...
"Master!"
She called her Young Master!
She stood up, raised her neck, and widened her eyes. After five breaths, she seemed to realize that she was not dreaming.
"Master, why are you here?"
Li Chen'an was speechless: "This is my shop, young master! It's the end of the year. It's time to take a look at the account book to know the profit after the year."
Cuihua laughed.
This is the taste of the young master's greed for money.
Still unchanged.
very nice!
Her eyes fell on Xiao Baozi's face, and she was slightly shocked...
As the most senior bronze medalist in Lijing Division in Guangling City, she had of course heard about the Xi Wei's daughter.
Xi Wei has never seen it.
I haven’t seen the previous owner of Wanxi Zhai either.
But obviously Xi Wei is not ugly, that Xiao Mantou should be very beautiful.
Because this girl is very beautiful.
Not as exquisite as Miss Ruoshui's.
But she has a slightly wild beauty that Miss Ruoshui does not have!
If women are flowers, in Cuihua's heart at this moment, Miss Ruoshui is the orchid that blooms in the garden under careful service.
And this girl is a lily that has experienced wind, frost, rain and dew and bloomed in the valley and cliffs.
They are much better than Cuihua!
Master...you have good taste!
Even Xi Wei's daughter dared to take her with him blatantly.
At this moment, Cuihua forgot her worries just now. She looked at Li Chenan again with a smile, "You made a profit!"
"I made a lot of money!"
"Master...Miss, please come inside!"
In the sight of all the neighbors, a group of people entered the tavern, and the door of the tavern closed with a creak.
Closed all eyes outside the door.
At this moment, there were many voices coming.
Without it.
They all lamented the return of the regent.
…
…
Bistro backyard.
The familiar big banyan tree, the familiar pavilion covered with snow.
There is also the familiar smell of sake lees.
Cui Sanniang placed the account book in front of Li Chenan, but looked at Li Chenan and asked worriedly: "Master, where is my son?"
"Xiao Hua has made a great contribution and is now a serious centurion of the martial arts camp!"
The former Li Jiajun was finally renamed by An Zizi.
"Master, I have something to do this time, so I can't come back yet."
Cui Sanniang finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked happy, "Then I'd like to thank you, Master!"
After saying this, she pointed to the account book and was about to explain it to Li Chenan in detail, but was interrupted by Li Chenan waving his hand.
"Do you really think I came back to check this account?"
"Put it away. If you still can't gain my trust, I'm afraid there will be no one in the world that I can trust."
"I'm going back to the tavern today. I came here to see you. You have worked hard these past few months. Sanniang, you and Cuihua will each receive one hundred taels of silver from the New Year!"
"Go buy some clothes or buy something you want to buy. I'm afraid you will be busy for some days."
"Tomorrow, on New Year's Eve, you all will go to Li's Mansion and celebrate the New Year together at my house."
Cui Sanniang and Cuihua were immediately overjoyed. First of all, the reward of one hundred taels of silver was something they had never expected.
Secondly, the young master is now the regent!
He actually invited them to his home to celebrate the New Year...
What is this called?
This is called true glory!
It is a pity that Cui Sanniang and Cuihua have no clansmen, otherwise this would be a huge thing to be recorded in the family tree and passed down to future generations!
"Thank you, Master!"
They still call him Young Master.
Because of kindness.
Li Chenan is also very happy. After all, this is his first industry in this world. The two of them are his employees at the beginning of his business in this world!
Be kind.
"Follow the young master and ensure that you can live the best life possible!"
"Xiao Huazhi may be able to make a great contribution in the army, and it is not impossible to become the general of Ning State in the future."
"As for Cuihua, if you get married in the future, Master, I will be your natal family. If you like a certain boy, Master will make the decision for you and marry you in a glorious way!"
Cuihua's face turned red, but she asked: "Master, are you going to Pingjiang City?"
"Passing by, the young master is going to Shuzhou."
"oh……"
Cuihua didn't say anything more, but there was clearly a look of disappointment on her face.
Li Chenan asked curiously:
"Do you have relatives in Pingjiang City?"
Cuihua neither shook her head nor nodded:
"...Not really a relative. Master, you have never asked me what my last name is."
