Chapter Nineteen
Qiu Jiang looked at Li Chengde as if provocatively. Li Chengde turned a blind eye, but he still drank a small cup on his own. Qiu Jiang is not as steady as his sister. Although he is about the same age, the two sisters' temperaments are very different. As sisters, Chunshui has to bear many responsibilities. He is more mature than his sister in terms of dealing with people and his character. Sometimes he is just right in the face of customers' difficulties and teasings, and he will neither make a big fuss nor give in.
But my sister Qiujiang was a bit stingy, just like Li Chengde was drinking today. The former saw a big man drinking just a small sip, and he felt unhappy in his heart, so the expression on his face was easily revealed. Chunshui touched his sister with his arm and signaled not to treat the new friend like this. But Qiujiang was so angry today that he didn't give his sister face. He still looked at Li Chengde, and the sneer in his mouth was obvious.
Li Chengde began to feel displeased. He didn't like drinking. He could drink a few glasses today because he was simply unwilling to ruin everyone's temperament. But he didn't expect Qiu Jiang to be so unyielding, so he simply put the cup down and did not drink it at all.
The boss saw it and said nothing.
Seeing this scene, Qiujiang muttered a waste and turned around and left. Only Chunshui gave Li Chengde a sorry expression and then chased after him.
After the two sisters left, the boss laughed loudly and said, "How is it, Xiao Mutou, how does it feel to be called a waste by that little beauty? Do you want to drink a pot of proof to prove yourself?"
Li Chengde smiled bitterly and said to the boss lady: "Boss, I really can't drink wine. I don't want to ruin your interest if I can drink a few drinks, so as not to call me Mutou again. As for Qiujiang, I don't think she has any bad intentions. She just made her mind a little straightforward, and I don't care."
The proprietress, wearing a big red dress, smiled tonight. After drinking the last sip of wine in the wine pot, she thought that the fat on the corner of her mouth had fallen a little, so she turned around and went back to the room to take a fat on her mouth.
In a blink of an eye, only Li Chengde was left on the table. He looked at the number of guests coming today, so he packed the table and went to help Aqing. The latter said it was okay, but this guy was busy coming. But Li Chengde felt sorry for it and still fought.
After packing the last table, Li Chengde, who had thought that he would take a break earlier today, saw another guest coming outside the door. This man was hunched and looked extremely ugly, and even his eyes were big and small. In addition to his appearance, he was holding a big knife as tall as others in his left hand.
Li Chengde was a little lost in an instant, but fortunately his mind changed quickly, so he hurriedly went up and asked, "Customer, what kind of drinks do you want? The restaurant has enough."
The hunchbacked man looked at Li Chengde carefully, but didn't say anything. He just pointed inside with his empty right hand and signaled him to take him in. The latter nodded and led the hunchbacked man to the first floor of the hall, and found a seat beside the window to sit down.
Seeing that the hunchbacked man was inconvenient to sit down, Li Chengde thought it was because the big knife was difficult to put, so he opened his hands and told him that he would keep the big knife for the man. But the hunchbacked man shook his head and still held the knife. He thought about it and asked for a pot of Siyi wine. Li Chengde was stunned and signaled that there was no such wine in the restaurant, and also said the wine sold in the store.
The hunchbacked man was obviously disliked. After muttering a few words, he still ordered a pot of Huang'an wine, and didn't even want a small plate of peanuts. After the wine was served, the man still held the big knife in his left hand and opened the wine pot with his right hand with one hand. He didn't even use the wine glass. He directly raised the wine pot and poured it into his mouth, but the wine was not sprinkled with a drop.
At this time, the hunchbacked man finally spoke, speaking with a crappy Liutuzhou accent. Li Chengde could barely understand a little. He probably said that the wine was not bad, but the taste of the wine was a little too light and not strong enough.
Li Chengde signaled that the wine in Jiangnan was like this, and it was indeed not as strong as the wine in the border. The hunchbacked man laughed loudly: "Indeed, the wine in Jiangnan was like the little girls here, too gentle, not like the wine in mine, like those women who are as handsome as wild horses, how could the word "strong"?
After hearing this, Li Chengde smiled and echoed. The hunchbacked man did not keep much, and he didn't even ask for money for alcohol, so he left after leaving a few taels of silver. Li Chengde chased after him and said loudly that he couldn't get so much, but the hunchbacked man waved his right hand and signaled that he didn't need to look for it anymore.
Instead of looking at the street with both hands on his back, Li Chengde squatted at the door abnormally, holding his cheek with his right hand, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.
At this time, the boss lady who had finished the rouge went downstairs and changed into a white gauze dress. Her hair was covered with a dark green jade hairpin, revealing her slender neck. The bright red on her mouth was the newly repaired fat. When she went downstairs, the small gourd on her waist made a sound from time to time. This carefully dressed boss lady, A Qing, who was standing beside her, also looked at her several more times.
Of course, Li Chengde didn't glance at him. He was still thinking about what kind of person the hunchbacked man just now was. He was so vigilant that he never left the sword even if he had a meal. It was obvious that this person's force was above him, and Li Chengde could not see his depth at all. He reason told him that the purpose of this person to come to Suzhou was not simple. So he planned to contact the eagles scattered in Suzhou, just as he was about to go out.
The proprietress walked over with light steps, and her movement was a little softer than usual. Li Chengde was stunned when he saw her, and didn't know what to say.
He didn't know where to put his eyes, but it was because the boss lady today looked too young.
People are afraid of unknown things. Especially when facing such a boss lady, Li Chengde glanced at the moonlight in order to relieve his tension, and his mind became hot, and he said, "Boss, you...you are as beautiful as the moonlight today."
The boss lady smiled, played with her hair, and said softly: "How could anyone praise people like this?"
Li Chengde smiled awkwardly. Even though he had seen many ladies and top brothels in the capital before, he had seen a woman of this temperament for the first time. In his heroic spirit, he still had a few traces of gracefulness of a woman from Jiangnan, and in his charm, he had a trace of shyness of a girl.
This damn Zhiqiu won’t be trapped in the gentle land of women in Gusuzhou, right?
But looking at this scene, it is easy to fall into decline.
The second prince took a deep breath and stopped looking at the boss's dress. He used a trace of true energy in his body to cheer himself up, and looked at him and said in a deep voice: "I want to go out."
"Are you whispering to Yuese?" The boss lady burst out and laughed.
Li Chengde's face suddenly turned red, and even the true energy didn't work. He turned around and prevented the boss from seeing his face. He shouted as he walked: "I'll be back soon."
The proprietress dressed in a white gauze dress looked at Li Chengde who was leaving and disappeared into the night. She couldn't help laughing and laughed loudly in the street at the entrance of the restaurant.
Since ancient times, young people have been passionate.
Chunshui, who had just finished packing, saw it, walked over slowly, and smiled and said, "Is it fun for sister to bully a child like this?"
The proprietress squatted at the entrance of the restaurant, holding her cheek with one hand, and whispered: "How can you bully me? Although I am a few years older than him, this child is quite beautiful and looks much more pleasant than the guests in the restaurant."
Chunshui whispered and seemed to be the same, without saying much, leaving the boss lady to sit at the door alone.
After leaving the restaurant, Li Chengde ran very fast and didn't know where to run. So after running for a while, he stopped in a small alley. He adjusted his breath and shouted to Yese: "Come out, I have a few things I want to tell you."
As soon as the words arrived, three men wearing eagle-style masks walked out of the night, silently. They walked three or two steps to Li Chengde and half-kneeled at the latter.
Behind them, they were all carrying two swords.
Li Chengde cleared his throat and whispered: "First, investigate the traces of Zhiqiu recently. Don't be too close to him. There is a pigeon next to him, so you can evacuate after being discovered. Second, investigate the hunchbacked man who just drank in the restaurant. It's better to check the origin of the big knife. I always feel that I have seen the big knife. Third, don't remember what happened to me and the boss just now. I have to forget it tonight. If someone leaks it out... there is no need to say more about the consequences.
The three men did not reply, nodded and looked at the second prince again. The latter signaled that there was nothing else, and several men left.
In fact, Li Chengde also knew that his third point was redundant. The Eagle never spoke when performing a mission, even if he was with his master.
But Li Chengde still doesn't want them to remember that thing.
It turns out that I am also afraid of women.
Li Chengde shook his head as if he was mocking himself, and took advantage of the moonlight that he walked towards the restaurant step by step.
He did not use the true energy in his body, and just walked step by step. It felt like it took him a long time to arrive at the restaurant.
As he walked, he saw a man sitting on a small staircase outside the restaurant. The man curled his legs and buried his head in, as if he was asleep.
The man was wearing a white gauze dress and had a conspicuous gourd around his waist.
Li Chengde shook his head and slowly leaned over step by step with heavy steps. Seeing the boss lady in front of him, he didn't know how to speak. The young boy stood in front of her for a long time, gritted his teeth, trembled and patted the boss lady's shoulder, and whispered: "Sister, I'm back."
The proprietress seemed to have just woken up from her dream, her eyes were a little red. She stood up and looked at the boy who was about the same height as her, and casually said, "Oh, are you back? I'm afraid that the streets are dark and you can't find the way back, so I lit the lantern on the first floor. Since I'm back, go to bed quickly." As she said, she yawned while rubbing her eyes and went upstairs, but the gourd around her waist did not make any noise.
When Li Chengde heard this, his chest felt a little stuffy.
