surnamed Wang

Chapter 186 Chapter 187

Liu Luming, who had been aggrieved for a few days, couldn't sit still as the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching.

He thought of a way to meet the sixth princess, that is, the royal family banquet.

The royal family banquet usually lasts for nearly two hours, and one hundred and eight dishes will be served one after another during the period. This is a full two hours. Princess, you've had enough, haven't you?

This is called beautiful food.

And after the meal, everyone will go to the Royal Garden together, and then enjoy the moon while eating moon cakes, and there will be a poetry recitation competition during the period.

Liu Luming, a person who hasn't read all the four books and five classics, naturally doesn't care about reciting poems, what he cares about is the three hours before and after.

Thinking of this, he was completely excited, and when he tried his best to get Wang Gingquan to take him to participate, the other party came to the door by himself.

"Before Mid-Autumn Festival, help me make some firecrackers and fireworks, and I can take you to the royal family banquet."

Wang Gangquan said straight to the point, as if he was certain that Liu Luming would accept this condition.

"Huh? Brother Wang, it's still early before the New Year's Eve, you want me to make firecrackers?"

Naturally, Liu Luming couldn't refuse this condition, but he was still a little curious.

"Don't talk nonsense, plus a private seat facing the sixth princess..."

"It's done! No one is allowed to go back on their word. Let's make an alliance with blood!"

Before Wang Gingquan finished speaking, Liu Luming took out a knife and wanted to cut his wrists. Seeing this, Wang Gingquan hurriedly stopped him, thinking that he had never seen him so aggressive before, is it because his conditions are too high?
No wonder he was so excited, he didn't even think about being able to go to the table before, he just wanted to be able to take a look at it from afar, now he suddenly told him that he could face to face, wouldn't he be excited?

Besides, Wang Gangquan, he has searched all over the streets and alleys of the capital for the past few days, but he couldn't find any fireworks sellers.

In the end, I really had no choice, so I chose to ask Liu Luming for help.

In fact, fireworks are not uncommon, they existed as early as the Song Dynasty.

Xin Qiji, a man of the Song Dynasty, once wrote about fireworks in "Sapphire Case Yuan Xi".

The line in the poem, "I look for him thousands of times in the crowd, and suddenly I look back, but the man is in a dimly lit place" is even more well-known and talked about by the world.

But it was written on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but this meeting is on the fifteenth day of the eighth month. It is not so easy to buy fireworks at this time of year.

The two hit it off immediately, so there was the scene of playing Erki in the wild before.

……

Time went back to the present, and after the two returned to the capital, they directly parted ways.

Liu Luming wanted to go back and continue making fireworks, Xiaochunzi took Wang Qianying back to the palace.

As for Wang Gangquan, he turned left and right in the city, and finally came to a building.

This building is three stories high. From the outside, the cornices and bucket arches are extremely luxurious. On the top of the tall gate is a plaque with gold characters on the vermilion background, with three big characters "Zuixinglou" written on it.

This place is the Zuixing Tower that Wang Bingquan has neglected for a long time.

Since the two top names of Qing Xing and Hong Xing left, the business of Zui Xing Building has plummeted, and after Wang Gangquan implemented a good policy, the business here has become even more sluggish.

What is left now are mostly old girls who are old and helpless.

If the door was not still open at this moment, Wang Gangquan would even doubt whether there was anyone inside.

He walked slowly into the building, but no one came out to greet her. The mother Chen who was in charge of the reception also moved to another house not long ago.

At this moment, only one clerk in the lobby on the first floor was lying listlessly on the table, flipping through the books in his hands, as if he hadn't noticed Wang Gangquan's arrival.

It's no wonder that he was lazy, but usually no one came here during the day, and even at night, there were only three or two people, and they were all poor with little money in their pockets, so don't even think about counting on them for rewards.

These people are either old bachelors who have been lonely for half their lives, or old friends who still miss their old love.

Moreover, their purpose of coming here is very clear, they will not stay too long, and they will not order a table of sumptuous food and wine.

Over time, the guys got used to it. Anyway, these people are regular customers, and they went upstairs by themselves after they came.

The man was holding a copy of "The Analects of Confucius" at this moment, muttering to himself, and was so intent on reading that he didn't notice Wang Gangquan's arrival at all.

"Don't mean, don't have to, don't be solid, don't be me."

The man frowned and muttered softly, as if he didn't quite understand the meaning.

"Don't speculate, don't be absolute, don't be stubborn, and don't be self-righteous. This is how to be a wise person."

Hearing the sound, the man raised his head and met Shang Wang Quanquan's gaze.

Wang Gangquan was smiling at this time, and it was he who opened his mouth to explain the confusion of the buddy in front of him.

"My lord, who are you looking for?"

The guy was a little dazed, because he had never seen anyone under fifty who came here, and it was the first time he had seen someone as young as in front of him in the past few months.

Wang Gangquan smiled slightly, and asked instead:
"How many people are left here?"

"Seven...ah no, six."

"Ok?"

Wang Gangquan couldn't help frowning when he heard the words. He had a good impression of the buddy's studious spirit before, but now he can clearly detect that he is lying from the other's expression.

"Xiao Guizi, are there any guests?"

At this time, a woman came from the direction of the back kitchen. The woman was about twenty, dressed in coarse linen and linen, with an apron tied around her waist.

The guy named Xiao Guizi immediately changed his face when he saw this, and quickly said to the woman: "Shuang'er, what are you doing out here, why don't you hurry up and cook."

After finishing speaking, he subconsciously glanced at Wang Gangquan with vigilance in his eyes.

Seeing this, Wang Gingquan couldn't help laughing inwardly, because this kid was defending himself, this "Shuang'er" might be the one he subtracted just now.

In fact, if it was normal, Xiao Guizi wouldn't care so much, Shuang'er is the cook here, although she looks weak, she actually has martial arts.

Moreover, her martial arts are strange, even though Xiao Guizi grew up with her, he doesn't know when she learned it, let alone who taught her.

It's not like he hasn't asked about this before, but the other party avoids talking about it every time.

It turned out that before Zuixinglou fell, there was no shortage of beautiful girls here, so no one tried to think of a cook.

But as the girls left one by one, the mediocre Shuang'er became more expensive. Xiao Guizi was the first to realize this, so he was always on guard against the guests who came here.

But Bai Mi finally made a mistake, when he went to the hut, a guest who had been coveting Shuang'er for a long time took the opportunity to slip into the kitchen.

The guest, who thought he would succeed immediately, never expected that Shuang'er, who seemed harmless to humans and animals, would know martial arts. When Xiao Guizi rushed into the kitchen after hearing the screams, he found that the man had both arms folded and was lying on the bed. Howled on the ground.

Although I don't know how Shuang'er did it, but since then, no one dared to provoke her.

Although no one dared to provoke her, it didn't mean that Shuang'er was safe.

Because the nemesis of brothel women has never been a rough man who is overbearing, but a refined and refined literati.

Xiao Guizi grew up in Zuixinglou, and has been exposed to too many things.

Among them, what the girls like to talk about the most is which girl fell in love with a son, and then eloped together.
