Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 623 Checkout
The noisy place, the feasting, the restless crowd and the music constitute a scene of demons dancing wildly.

Mr. Li held the wine glass and looked at the men and women on the stage shaking their heads and twisting their bodies. He was only surprised.

He didn't expect that there would be such a place where etiquette and music were broken in Yuanjiang County, but he didn't realize that his legs were shaking unconsciously in accordance with the tune played by the pianist on the stage.

"Come on, come on, have a drink with Mr. Li!"

Yun Dian appeared, followed by three or four pole dancers who had previously twisted against the pole.

Mr. Li subconsciously hid aside. At this moment, he kept reminding himself that he was a scholar and should abide by the ethics.

Yun Dian saw his restraint, and immediately picked up the wine glass and touched it with Mr. Li. He leaned closer and said, "Oh, what's going on with Mr. Li? You're already here, why are you still depressed?"

"No...no, I'm just not used to it." Mr. Li forced a smile and drank from the glass of wine.

Yun Dian sneered in his heart, I don't care if you are used to it or not, buddy, just let you spend money.

He moved closer to Mr. Li so that he could talk more easily and said, "Mr. Li, you have to know that life is short and you should enjoy yourself in the moment! I know you are a scholar and can't let go for a while."

"But you have to think about it, people can't just work and not have fun, right? We have to balance work and rest. When it's time to study, study hard, and when it's time to play, play with all your heart. Do you think this is the truth?"

After listening to this, Mr. Li felt that what Yun Dian said did make some sense.

I have been reading books for more than 30 years. Although I never feel bored when reading those books every day, I do need to accept some new things after such a long time.

Although Yihongyuan looks ridiculous, there are no benefactors or flower girls.

Perhaps because I have lived in the Zhou Kingdom for a long time, I don't know that the brothel entertainment method in the Qian Kingdom is like this.

Thinking about this, Mr. Li bravely picked up his wine glass and had a drink with several pole dancers.

The girls smiled coquettishly and pulled him to roll the dice and drink.

After understanding how to play, Mr. Li immediately became interested, and the pot of wine quickly reached the bottom. Yun Dian smiled inexplicably: "Mr. Li, would you like some wine?"

"Up, up, up!"

Mr. Li, who had a slightly red face, shouted, and Yun Dian immediately asked someone to bring four or five more bottles of wine, and several people drank happily.

Mr. Li was so happy that he called out "Brother Yun", and Yun Dian responded like "Brother Li". Those who didn't know it thought they were good brothers.

A woman took Mr. Li's hand and said, "Mr. Li, let's go dance!"

Looking at the twisting figures on the stage, Mr. Li, who was a little dizzy, felt that there seemed to be some kind of impulse in his consciousness.

Yun Dian actually seemed to see a ball of flame burning in his eyes!

Once upon a time, I, Li Zhiqiu, never wanted to be a great dancer!
"Just jump! Who is afraid of whom? Let's go, let's go!"

He grabbed another woman and ran onto the stage. The scholar, who was wearing a blue shirt and long sleeves, was shaking his head and smiling happily as he listened to the woman on the stage taking the baby one by one.

The old-fashioned attitude of covering his face and talking nonsense was completely gone.

Yun Dian in the audience took out his account book and calculated the expenses of Gongsun Yunxiu and the two today.

After a while, he closed the account book, sighed with an expression, picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "This is me, Yun Dian, how could anyone else have made so much money?"

As for whether Gongsun Yunxiu and Li Zhizhou had money to pay, Yun Dian didn't care at all.

Look at the way they dress and the temperament they exude when they walk. Could they be poor?
If nothing else, just take the jade flute in the woman's hand, it's worth one or two hundred taels of silver!

And that luxurious carriage!
Will they have no money?What a fuss!

My Mr. Yun’s eyes are poisonous, and he can spot people accurately!

Noon the next day.In the restaurant lobby.

Gongsun Yunxiu was eating lunch all morning, and finally waited until the hungover Mr. Li appeared, rubbing his brows.

"Drunk last night?"

Gongsun Yunxiu asked a little funny, didn't he just drink some toilet water?
As for drinking to drown your sorrows?

Li Zhizhou blushed. Although he was drunk, he could not remember everything. The madness last night was still vivid in his mind.

I vaguely remember holding those dancing women in my arms at the end, kissing and nibbling them.

This is outrageous, this is outrageous!

"Let's eat something first. After eating, we have to go to school to meet Mr. Zhang." Gongsun Yunxiu didn't ask any further questions.

Li Zhizhou has always been honest. Even if he is drunk, he will not do anything outrageous, so he feels relieved.

While Li Zhizhou was eating, Yun Dian came and greeted the two of them with a smile: "Good morning, Mr. Li and Miss Li."

He naturally regarded Gongsun Yunxiu as Li Zhizhou's daughter.

Gongsun Yunxiu didn't say anything and just nodded lightly.

Li Zhizhou's expression changed, and he winked at Yun Dian. Yun Dian immediately understood what happened yesterday and would not say a word to anyone else.

Li Zhizhou breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself that he is indeed my good brother.

When Li Zhizhou finished eating, Gongsun Yun stood up and said to Yun Dian: "Master Yun, please calculate our expenses."

Yun Dian was stunned and asked hurriedly: "Miss, are you ready to pay?"

"Yes, let's pay."

Li Zhizhou hurried back to the room to get his bag, which contained banknotes.

Yun Dian felt a little regretful when he heard this, but since the other party said that, he didn't insist on anything anymore, and then took out the account book he carried with him and started to settle the accounts.

"Two catties of cut cake, one tael of silver per catty, a total of two taels..."

Hearing this, Gongsun Yunxiu frowned slightly, that sweet pastry was so expensive, not everyone could afford it.

It seems that I will have to buy less in the future.

"The ticket for the factory tour is 20 taels of silver, so the total for the two of them is [-] taels..."

Li Zhizhou was stunned: "You still need money to visit the factory?"

Yun Dian smiled and said: "Of course Mr. Li, how can you just visit those factories? You must know that the factory involves the industrial technology of the factory, which must be charged."

Gongsun Yunxiu hummed.

Yun Dian said again: "One of the good guest rooms in the restaurant costs 30 taels, and the two rooms total [-] taels. The banquet table is [-] taels."

Gongsun Yun Xiumei's eyes widened: "A guest room costs five taels of silver per room?"

The shopkeeper on the side immediately smiled and said: "Dear guest, this restaurant is the largest and best restaurant in the county. The guest rooms are usually in short supply. These are the two rooms I have reserved for you after Brother Yun informed me."

Li Zhizhou swallowed: "Then why did the food we ate last night cost 30 taels, and there weren't even a few dishes?"

"The dishes in our restaurant are all clearly marked with prices. Yesterday, we served you eight meat and eight vegetarian dishes, eight cold cuts and one cup of black chicken soup! You all ate cleanly!"

Gongsun Yunxiu and Li Zhizhou looked at each other and felt that something was wrong!
