In a large box in Juxiangfang.
A huge solid wood table acts as a stage effect.
A group of luxuriously dressed people sat under the stage, changing glasses and chatting while eating.
Oh, not everyone is dressed luxuriously.
Li Qingshi, who was among them, was wearing coarse clothes.
Beside Li Qingshi is the owner of the banquet today.
The owner of Fushanzhuang, the largest restaurant in Shanyang City, is Ji Youcheng, a fat man in his forties.
Ji Youcheng did not start from scratch, but came from Mengyin's ancestors. His grandfather's generation was successful in entrepreneurship and took root in Shanyang City, and then passed down this large family business from generation to generation. he.
Most of the people present were businessmen from various rice shops, noodle shops, cloth shops, etc.
Logically speaking, in the Jing Dynasty, the status of merchants was not considered high.
But that's just compared to other people with backgrounds and official positions. Compared to ordinary people who farm, being rich is naturally different.
At least they can have the courage to enter Juxiang Pavilion, the top music studio in Shanyang City, which is said to be worth a year in one night.
The saying that one night is worth a year means that one night's consumption in Juxiang Pavilion is often comparable to the annual income of a poor family.
The consumption level of this place can be seen from this!
For this reason, Li Qingshi sat here with some fear and fear.
Looking at it in Ji Youcheng’s eyes, he was even more secretly happy.
Such a novice is not left to his own devices!
At this moment, Ji Youcheng was facing Li Qingshi with a wine glass in his hand, his face was as usual, and he was smiling like a smiling tiger.
Li Qingshi's face was red, and he had obviously drank a lot of wine.
"Li Zhuangshi, please!" Ji Youcheng said.
Li Qingshi hurriedly picked up his wine glass, clinked it with the fat man's wine glass, and said quickly: "Boss Ji, please!"
Li Qingshi took the lead in bringing the wine glass to his mouth, raised his head, and filled the glass with The wine was drained in one gulp.
Ji Youcheng, while Li Qingshi wasn't paying attention, also raised his head and poured the drink behind him without drinking a drop of it.
Then he and Li Qingshi put down their wine glasses at the same time, looked at each other and smiled, as if they had finished drinking.
Li Qingshi said with some embarrassment: "Boss Ji, I really can't drink anymore. I feel like things are spinning in front of my eyes."
Beside Ji Youcheng Another man with triangular eyes said with a smile: "It's okay, just eat something to cushion your stomach and take it easy."
"Yes, that's right!" As he spoke, Ji Youcheng shouted to the waitresses standing behind him: "Come on, help me greet Li Zhuangshi, I'm just going to relieve myself."
While speaking, Ji Youcheng stood up and asked Li Qingshi He cupped his hands and said, "Master Li, please take care of your belly first. I'll come as soon as I go."
Li Qingshi nodded quickly, imitating the elegant words he just heard, and said: "Boss Ji, feel free to That’s it!”
When even two maids came over with small steps, one on the left and one on the right, they sat beside Li Qingshi,
She has a graceful figure and charming eyes.
"Li Zhuangshi, Mr. Ji has brought this pastry all the way from Sugar Cane Prefecture. Please try it."
"Li Zhuangshi, my Danli fruit is from yesterday. You picked it with your own hands, you can taste mine first.”
Li Qingshi’s face was already flushed, and at this moment, under the whispers of the two waitresses, his face was even hotter. very.
"Thank you, I'll do it myself."
As I spoke, I was going to take the pastries from the waitress.
The pastry is shaped like a pagoda, brown in color, and has a vague sweetness that penetrates directly into the nose.
Li Qingshi has never seen such exquisite pastries in his entire life.
The waitress holding the pastries dodged and said with a sweet smile: "Li Zhuangshi, this is not possible. This pastry has to be fed into your mouth by the servant."
< br>"This...this...this is not good."
The waitress holding a lychee in her hand smiled coquettishly and said: "Master Li, you'd better eat one of my red lychees to moisten your mouth first. Here, I'll feed it to you myself."
While speaking, The waitress gently bit a peeled lychee between her teeth and approached Li Qingshi with a smile.
Li Qingshi was petrified for a moment. Seeing the maids on both sides approaching, he hurriedly patted his head and stood up and said: "Oh, I suddenly remembered that Mr. Dynasty has something to do with me. I'm extremely sorry. I have to go first. "Come on, bosses and employees, please eat well, Qingshi will leave first."
"Li Zhuangshi stays!" The two waitresses tried to persuade him to stay, but they never thought that Li Qingshi would move faster.
"Li Zhuangshi, wait a moment, you have to say goodbye to Lao Ji no matter what."
The man with triangular eyes on the side also tried to persuade him to stay.
Li Qingshi stopped talking, cupped his hands with an embarrassed expression, and left in a hurry.
Xu Bo'an saw it in his eyes,
Soon, Ji Youcheng returned to the room and was startled when he saw that the place where Li Qingshi was was empty.
“Where are the people? Where are they gone.”
The two waitresses looked at each other, lowering their heads and not daring to answer.
The man with triangular eyes on the side sighed and said: "Let that kid run away. Unless Wang County Zun has something to do with him, I asked him to stay until I say goodbye to you, but he didn't even say goodbye. Ignore me and just run away.”
“What? Mr. Wang is looking for him? It is said that he is entertaining guests from the government office, how can he have time to see him?" Ji Youcheng said angrily.
The man with triangular eyes shook his head and said: "Then I don't know."
A strong man next to him who had never spoken and was drinking heavily said: "Hey, what do you want me to say? Ah, he just looks down on our brothers and thinks he can't pee in a pot with us!"
A man with a goatee next to the strong man said with a smile: "Yes! I see, that boy is just a cucumber egg. Just now, these two men fed him with bare hands and delivered the fruit with their honey mouth, which scared the boy."
"Yeah, I see. That's right, that kid looks so big and has never even touched a woman's hand. Old Ji, you are playing the piano to a cow this time! That kid doesn't understand the world at all."
"Humph. , He really regards himself as a person. He is just a country man."
"That is, if he is not so lucky as to be appreciated by Mr. Wang, he is ready to hand over the position of prison chief to him. You are not a countryman, but you want to sit and have dinner with us?"
"Hey, he can't even dream of it, okay, old guys, let's go on and don't ruin Yaxing. That's all, let's slow down the business in the cell first.
Tomorrow I have an appointment with the newly appointed Chief Jiao. He is a veteran, and his family is from Shanyang County, so I don't believe he has any need for human contact. ”
Hearing this, Xu Boan was quite surprised.
Li Qingshi actually became the head of the Shanyang County cell?
And listen to what these people said. It means, this is supported by the dynasty!
It’s so magical, just one word from the county magistrate can make people prosperous!
It’s outrageous, outrageous, and outrageous! The original score!
The county magistrate of the Da Jing Dynasty is so awesome!
Thinking of my hard work over the years, my diligent research, research, and on-site research. , just became the project manager.
Li Qingshi rose to the top with just one sentence from Chao Chao!
Xu Bo'an has watched a lot of costume TV and historical novels, but he understands that prison boss What a fat position this is.
If they were in the same time and space, let alone Xu Boan's previous project manager position, even his current status as the so-called leader of a construction company would not be enough to carry Li Qingshi's shoes.
Tsk, tsk, I don’t know whether this is good or bad for Li Qingshi!
Xu Boan thought a little sourly, as if he had eaten plums.
In the room, these businessmen from Shanyang City were still sighing and discussing.
"Come on, come on, let me mention one, do one for our better tomorrow!"
"Okay, do it, we must not let that country boy ruin our elegance."
"Yes, no matter who decides, they are just passers-by. We are the deep-rooted masters of Shanyang City."
"That's right, come, Brother Ji , I respect you.”
Everyone was enjoying themselves as they exchanged cups.
It seems that without Li Qingshi, their state is more natural.
...
Outside Juxiangfang, Li Qingshi walked out quickly. Amidst the greetings of "Sir, please go slowly" and "Sir, please come again" from a group of heavily made-up waitresses, Li Qingshi lowered his head. Head left in a hurry.
Watching Li Qingshi leave awkwardly. Xu Bo'an couldn't help but think of himself when he left school at the beginning of the year and entered the workplace.
I was also so embarrassed and uneasy back then. I seemed to have found a reason to hold myself back and left early in the Shang K room.
Thinking of the past, Xu Boan was silent for a moment.
After I left the game back then, those so-called hosts probably made fun of and despised me in the same way.
Seeing the increasingly exaggerated remarks of those squires, Xu Boan became a little angry.
Xu Boan decided to teach this guy a lesson.
Immediately, the host who laughed at Li Qingshi the most, suddenly spoke in a cold tone.
"Boss Ji, just take care of yourself."
"Who! Who is it?" Ji Youcheng looked stunned and looked around.
"Old Ji, what's wrong with you?" A fat-headed man sitting far away asked curiously. After asking, he didn't forget to open his mouth and take a grape thrown in by the waitress, and carefully Taste.
Everyone also looked at Ji Youcheng strangely.
Ji Youcheng turned around and asked: "Just now... someone spoke, did you hear it?"
"Haha, Old Ji, what nonsense did you say? , haven’t we been talking all the time?”
“Yes, Boss Ji, I think you have drunk too much and are a little confused.”
Ji Youcheng shook his head: "That's not what I meant. I just heard someone say something weird, saying that they want me... that we can take care of ourselves!"
As soon as Ji Youcheng said the words, he had an idea and changed "I" to " "We" can arouse people's empathy to a greater extent.
It’s so easy to get so much hatred!
"Are you kidding me, Old Ji? There are only a few of us brothers in this place. I haven't heard anyone talking. Who can just criticize and criticize yourself?"
"I didn't hear it either, I think you really drank too much. You shouldn't have fought so hard with that guy just now."
Ji Youchengdu felt that he was hallucinating, and immediately nodded and said: "Maybe it's true. "I must have heard it wrong."
"I must have heard it wrong. Come on, come on, come on, keep drinking."
"You guys on the stage, don't stop, keep playing. , let’s dance.”
“Come on, old guys, let’s go one more time.”
Everyone picked up their glasses and responded.
Ji Youcheng had just finished a sip of wine and smacked his lips, tasting the wine in his mouth with satisfaction. He stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the food and was about to put it into his mouth.
My mouth was open, but before the food was put in, suddenly, the voice came again.
“Boss Ji, just take care of yourself.”
Ji Youcheng felt that the sound was very clear in his ears, and cold sweat suddenly broke out.
I was trembling all over, and my hand holding the chopsticks couldn't hold it steady. With a shake, the food in the chopsticks suddenly fell to the table.
"Who! Who is it? Come out and stop pretending to be a ghost for me."
Everyone looked sideways and said, "There are no other people there, isn't it just us brothers?"
“Yes, Old Ji, what happened?”
“Boss Ji, did you hear someone talking again?”
“There is definitely someone, I can hear you clearly It’s clear.” Boss Ji’s words were decisive.
Seeing Boss Ji's serious face, a person on the side immediately waved his hand to the dancers on the stage and said: "Okay, everyone, get off."
Lao Ji looked around with a pale face. Looking down, a group of people helped Ji Youcheng turn the house upside down, but they couldn't find the "outsider" they suspected.
After Xu Boan played tricks on these people, he was about to leave when he saw many people gathering on the street outside Juxiangfang.
"Brother, who is here today? Why are there so many people."
"Hey, you don't even know this."
"It makes you laugh, this is not the nearest city It's too chaotic, so I went to the countryside to hide, and some of my eyes were darkened. I hope you can give me some advice." "Miss Piaopiao is the leader of the team today, right?" ”
“Of course! Oh my god, it’s actually Miss Piao Piao. She is the mainstay of our Juxiang Fang in Shanyang County, and she is also the leading dancer in the county’s orchestra. No wonder there are so many people. "
"Hey, what's all the fuss about? You may not know it. A few days ago, there was a performance here by Shishi girl, one of the top ten courtesans in Dajing. "
"What? Oiran? This is true. "
"Of course it is true, but such a role is not open to the public, and at the very least it has to be performed internally. I happened to have plenty of money at that time, and hey, I was lucky enough to get a glimpse of her real face! ”
The so-called in-field performance naturally means that it takes place indoors and will not be performed rashly outside.
In that case, it would be a bit of a debasement.
"Hey, how about it!"
"Of course it's a worthwhile trip, and I still have more to say!"
"Oh, what a pity! Why didn't I catch up?"
"Brothers, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand?" In the crowd, a young man carrying a burden who seemed to be selling something asked curiously.
“Hey, what do you do?”
“I...hey, I sell cooking cakes. Do you want to buy some? My cooking cakes are delicious. "
"Haha, we're all here, who wants to eat that thing? Do you know where this place is?"
"I heard... it's Lefang, right?"
"Hey, this is the most high-end music studio in Shanyang County, and it is also one of the most prestigious music studios in the entire Dajing Dynasty. Juxiangfang's business is spread all over the Taoist government. We can have Juxiangfang in Shanyang County. It’s amazing.”
“Then what are so many people waiting for?”
"Haha, of course there is something good! Juxiangfang stipulates that every thirty days, a dancer will perform on the reception platform facing the street on the second floor, with ten pieces performed each time. This can attract customers. The effect is to gain a reputation and let many people who have never been in know the beauties of Juxiangfang."
"What is the reception desk?" The person who asked the question tightened. On the pole, he continued to ask.
The man pointed to the large balcony on the second floor and said: "Well, you see it, it's the large platform with handrails upstairs. Usually the girls stand there to solicit customers. . ”
The person who asked the question looked upstairs with a smile. More than a dozen women in bright and bold clothes, with vaguely veiled skirts, waved their hands down delicately and artificially against the wooden railings.
"Sir, come up and play with me."
"Brother, come in and have a drink before you go on your way."
"Hey, that sturdy one Uncle, come in and have a rest."
"So, today is the day for the performance," the man who asked the question asked, licking his dry lips. He suddenly felt like his mouth was dry.
"That's right, just take a look, it will definitely make you feel like you've met so late and you still have so much to say."
Hearing what these people were talking about, Xu Bo'an came over immediately interest.
It's not that he was interested in the so-called performances. After all, Xu Bo'an had already watched the in-field performances, so the out-field performances were naturally not that attractive.
But Xu Bo'an suddenly thought that if they said the location of the outdoor performance was at the so-called reception desk.
That’s outdoor.
In this case, wouldn’t I be able to take pictures with my mobile phone?
Hey, having fun alone is not as good as having fun together.
Xu Boan was just about to go out to get his mobile phone when he heard a voice coming from the City God Temple.
"Grandpa Mountain God, I am guilty!" (End of this chapter)
