Everyone in the Li family gathered at the restaurant. This time, this restaurant is the most luxurious three-story restaurant in the West Market. In addition to its high quality, the most distinctive feature of this restaurant is that on this Yuan Dynasty night, the lobby of the restaurant A high platform was built in the middle.
There will be singing and dancing performances all night long on this high platform!
Everyone in the Li family is sitting in front of two large square tables on the right side of the lobby, waiting to watch the show.
“We booked the table late, otherwise if we had booked a private room on the second floor, we would have been able to see it more clearly.”
“In this lobby Isn’t it nice to sit down?
I think the lobby is pretty good. If it's on the second floor, you'll need good eyesight. ”
Li Sanniang nodded and agreed with Mother Li’s words, didn’t she?
The lobby is built in a fan shape around a high platform in the middle. Whether you sit at the front or at the back, it is You can see the performance on the high platform, and you can see it relatively clearly.
But if you are in the private room on the second floor, although you can see a panoramic view, if you are not able to see clearly, you will most likely be able to see only one person. It was blurry, so it was better to sit in the lobby and watch.
Mother Li ordered a lot of dishes, and everyone sat around, eating and waiting for the show to start.
Halfway through the meal, the gong sounded "dong dong dong", and two waiters were heard shouting while beating the gong: "The private room on the second floor, Mr. Guo's family, North Street, Yonglefang, will reward you with twenty taels of silver." . ”
Li Sanniang didn’t expect that there would be a reward from a rich person. These twenty taels are not a small amount. If it is a commoner’s home, it will be enough for half a year’s expenses.
After shouting like this five or six times, another voice sounded.
"In the private room on the second floor, the eldest lady of the Gao family on Jishanfang South Street is offering fifty taels of silver."
Second Sister-in-law Li was a little stunned when she heard that it was fifty taels of silver.
"This is fifty taels of silver. You are really a rich man."
In this way, one after another, one after another, all the dozen or so private rooms on the second floor were beaten one by one. Different amounts of silver were rewarded, the least was twenty taels, and the most was hundreds of taels.
And this restaurant really knows how to do things. Because the private rooms on the second floor were rewarded with a lot of money, the shopkeeper actually served every table in the lobby with a pot of hot drinks, boiled with sugar. red date tea.
Brother Li asked the waiter who came to serve the drink, and the waiter said this: "The shopkeeper said that this is the meaning of the biggest reward in the private room on the second floor. It is said to be the Lantern Festival. Everyone Let’s have a sweet drink together.”
Of course, this hot drink was not only given to the Li family’s table, but also to dozens of tables in the entire lobby.
There was that cheerful man who, after receiving the drink, stood up and said loudly to the second floor: "On the Lantern Festival, thank you for the drink. I wish you a happy family reunion and lots of blessings."
With one leader, more people will stand up and say thank you.
Li Sanniang felt that it was not because of a pot of drink, but because it was the Lantern Festival at this moment, the gift of drink seemed much more sincere.
After all, for people who can come out to have fun during such a festival, how can they really be short of money for a pot of hot drinks?
As a result, what Li Sanniang didn’t expect was that after a while, as soon as the dancers on the high platform came off the stage, a man who looked like a butler from a wealthy family borrowed the copper in the restaurant. gong.
"Dong dong dong" sounded, attracting the attention of everyone sitting in the lobby. This man bowed his head in front of everyone's gaze and bowed, and said uprightly: "My husband, thank you all. Blessings!
It’s my destiny to meet you all tonight, and my husband would like to wish you a happy family reunion, good health and peace.
Finally, I wish you all the best tonight. You are invited, and I wish you all a good time!"
As soon as I finished saying this, people in the lobby roared, and they all started talking about which family the gentleman who was treating me was from. It was really grand. Very.
"May I ask, which gentleman is so generous? I, Zhao Ping, thank you very much."
"I, Li Cheng, thank you very much." "I, Wang Sili, thank you very much."
A series of more than ten people stood up to express their thanks, and the housekeeper saluted back one by one, "My family Mr. Lang’s surname is Wan, and he is a member of the family.
Enjoy yourselves.”
After Li Sanniang watched the generous housekeeper of Wan Sanlang’s family bow and leave again, she felt vaguely. Something is wrong.
But if Li Sanniang was asked to tell specifically what was wrong, she really couldn't say anything.
"Sanniang?"
Faced with Qiuxiang's worried look, Li Sanniang shook her head, put aside the feeling that something was wrong in her heart, picked up a chopstick of fish meat, and confirmed that there were no thorns. Then he put it into Luzhu'er's bowl.
This meal was really worth it. After all, it really cost nothing.
Before leaving, Brother Li and Brother Li also saluted to the private room on the second floor and thanked Sanlang Wanjia for the invitation.
In fact, after the housekeeper said "treat", Li Sanniang felt something was wrong in her heart, so she tasted every dish on the table, including the snacks, to make sure that none of them were poisonous or incompatible. Relax.
But something was still wrong in Li Sanniang's heart. If anything, Li Sanniang wanted to see who Mr. Wanjia Sanlang was.
However, after leaving the restaurant, Mother Li said: "Let's go to the place where the river lanterns are placed, just in time to eat.
But you can take care of the children. There are many people here. "It's night again, so you have to be careful."
In this way, Li Sanniang had no choice but to put aside her doubts, picked up Luzhu'er, and followed the Li family to the place where the river lanterns were placed.
At this time, in one of the private rooms on the second floor of the restaurant, the butler who had just appeared in front of everyone was standing behind someone like a servant.
And this person should be the Mr. Wanjia Sanlang that the housekeeper said.
"Have you seen it?"
Sitting opposite Wanjia Sanlang, the man who looked like a scholar nodded, picked up the tea cup and took a sip before speaking in a low voice. Wansaburo said: "She is just an ordinary girl, nothing special can be seen."
"Yunting, you should not be judged by appearance. Compared with other strangers, what she does is Not too little.”
Yes, this person with the pseudonym Wan Sanlang is actually Du Qinghui who came to Chang'an without an imperial edict.
The scholar Du Qinghui called "Yunting" was his confidant and think tank Lu Yunting.
"If Li Sanniang is really powerful, do you think she knows about the aphrodisiac at this time?"
Du Qinghui shook his head, picked up the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, and swallowed the food in his mouth. Later, I heard Du Qinghui say: "She is a bad person and a doctor, so she must know it.
However, if she is only on duty in the medical hall, she may not know it.< br>
After all, she is a female doctor, and most of the people who come to see her are women, and there are less men, so she can be forgiven for not knowing. "(End of this chapter)
