People in Datang, start with a golden hoe

The city of Yangzhou has a lot of water, and the Yingchun Tower stands on the edge of the largest river that passes through the city.At night, everywhere else is silent and there are few people around. Only here the lights are brightly lit. The candlelight is reflected in the water, and the ripples of the water add a lot of interest.

Most of the dignitaries, literati and wealthy country squires are frequent visitors here.

"You guys have been waiting for a long time. Yun Guang is late. I will punish myself with three cups later." Li Yunguan walked into the private room and saluted the people on the surrounding tables.

Everyone at the table stood up, "Master Li, take your seat quickly."

This time, it was different from the banquet to welcome the wind and wash away the dust. It was just a small occasion between brothers to increase their feelings. Everyone was very casual.As soon as Li Yunguang arrived at the main seat, more dishes were served.

Master Gong waved his hand to the boy waiting outside the door, and the boy understood and left.Not long after, a group of women pushed open the door and entered.

Since they are regular customers, everyone has a relatively fixed acquaintance, except Cui Le, who is not a regular customer.It is precisely because he is not a regular customer that he has a choice.

"Brother Le, please choose one." Li Yunguang pushed the arm of the person next to him.

Cui Le looked at the three plump and beautiful young women in front of him, and his heart, which had been silent for a long time, actually started to flow with gurgling sweet springs.

The memory is opened, and the prosperous years of the past seem to be right in front of you, with all the majesty coming back.

"What's their name!"

"Xing Niang!"

"Pear girl!"

"Bamboo Girl!"

The voices of the three are delicate and each has its own merits.

"Li Niang, please stay!"

In this act of selecting people, Li Yunguang saw something different.In his eyes, Cui Le looked like an old farmer, well-behaved and uninteresting.And now, the Le Ge he was familiar with is back.

"Brother Le, I must toast you with this cup and welcome you back!" Li Yunguang drank a large cup of wine.

Cui Le didn't understand the words of welcome back. He had already said it at the dust-washing banquet, so why should he say it again here.But as the saying goes, the guest followed the host, picked up the wine glass, and drank heavily.

Even though you are drunk and brave, you are still open!A hand with criss-crossed grooves becomes indulgent and careless.

"Sure enough, I have been farming in Lingnan for four years, and I didn't even know that there were such delicacies in the world." Cui Le drank a spoonful of Wensi tofu soup and did not want to chew it, only enjoying the extremely delicate and silky tofu shreds. Slide down the throat.

"Brother Le, this Babaozhai is your family's property. What do you want to eat, can you let Xiaolan cook it for you?" Li Yunguang was a little surprised, looking at Cui Le's appearance, he looked like he had never eaten tofu soup.

Cui Le's eyes lit up, "Real or false? I just came back and I only heard that the tofu shop in the west of the city is owned by my family. I didn't expect that there is an industry in Zicheng!"

"Of course it is. Shemei and the adult's daughter-in-law are close friends, and they met because of Babaozhai." Lu Xingye continued.

Cui Le's face turned red when he saw that the two of them didn't seem to be joking with him, "It's a joke to everyone, my third daughter-in-law was married after I left home, and she is disobedient!"

A group of people didn't know the situation of the Cui family. When they heard that their daughter-in-law was disobedient, everyone was filled with indignation and screamed, "Women can't be spoiled. Tell the third young master to toughen up and teach her the rules of the house!"

Li Yunguang also sighed repeatedly, "I interact with Xiaolan on weekdays and think she is a good girl who understands etiquette. Unexpectedly, she turns out to be a rebellious person!"

"Who says it's not? Besides, I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup she poured into Madam. Everyone in the family is turning towards her! I couldn't find a way to control her for a while. As for the family law, it has lost its benevolence and righteousness to a younger generation!" Cui Le lied.It's not that he doesn't want to use family methods, but he is afraid that the world will spread his reputation for being harsh. "I have an idea, I don't know if I should tell it or not!" Zeng Changshi and Cui Le clinked a drink, their eyebrows slanted down, showing their vulgarity.

"I wonder if Brother Zeng has any clever ideas?"

"Some time ago, a businessman reported that there were criminals operating business as farmers. Because the person who was reported had a special status, I stayed!" Zeng Changshi glanced at Li Yunguang and continued, "The person who was reported is... She is Master Cui’s daughter-in-law, picking Xiaolan!”

The people sitting in the middle were all sensible people. After listening to Zeng Changshi's words, they immediately understood the content of the plan.For a moment, the banquet was extremely calm.

"Ouch!" Li Niang cried out in pain, "Sir, you pinched me so hard!"

Everyone laughed!
Cui Le, on the other hand, did not feel embarrassed. After having a drink with Zeng Changshi, he thanked him repeatedly: "Okay, great! Mr. Zeng, when my daughter-in-law surrenders, I will go to the house to thank you in person."

Although Li Yunguang didn't like the conspiracy of his subordinates, Zeng Changshi was also kind-hearted. Helping Cui Le was equivalent to helping him.

"Hahaha, Chang Shi has a good plan. When the time comes, we will have to trouble Chang Shi to change his household registration back!" The household department of the Yamen happened to be within the jurisdiction of Zeng Changshi.

"Master Li, I'm just helping you solve your problems!" Xu was drunk, Zeng Changshi forgot what happened before, and started to show off his wisdom in front of Li Yunguang again.

Although Lu Xingye, the only young man in the seat, felt that it was unfair for three big men to scheme against a little girl, Cai Xiaolan was unfilial, so he couldn't say more.

……

Cui Le hadn't had such a hearty drink in a long time, and he became drunk soon after.Li Niang followed the palace master's instructions and invited him to be a guest.

The drunk Cui Le fell into a deep sleep, and Li Niang asked the maid in the house to take care of her. She wrapped herself in her coat and went out in the dark night.

As for what is she going to do?
Of course, he wanted to find a way to tell her the news that someone wanted to harm Cai Xiaolan.Which poor family in Yangzhou City has not received the favor of Cai Xiaolan?

They all remembered it secretly.

Cai Xiaolan had a quarrel with her family, so she and Xu Yinlian slept in the same bed in Tofupu on the pretext of returning to the city to get their account books.

In the haze, when she heard a knock on the door, Xu Yinlian couldn't help cursing, "I don't know how to hurt people this day, why did it light up so quickly?"

She thought it was early morning again and the cooks were coming to work.

"Here we come!" Xu Yinlian took off a door panel, but unexpectedly saw a man wrapped in black silk.

"Yeah!" she wanted to shout.

The woman opposite covered her mouth and said, "Don't scream, I'm here to see Mr. Xiaolan!"

Cai Xiaolan was not dead in sleep. When she heard the noise, Yigulu got up from the bed.Walking to the shop, "Who are you?"

The woman only covered her body, but not her face.She doesn't know him.

When the visitor saw the real owner, he hissed, leaned forward and squeezed in through the crack in the door panel, "It doesn't matter who I am, I have a secret message to tell Mr. Xiaolan."

Xu Yinlian put the door panel back on and took the people to the backyard with Cai Xiaolan.The oil lamp outside the house was always on, but it was completely dark inside.

"Sister Xu, hold the lamp!" (End of chapter)
