late night song

Chapter 119
Juan Niang stayed in Xiao Ling's room for half an hour before going out. Gu Yuchu stood guard outside the door from a distance and was very curious when he saw Juan Niang showing off her face.

"Xiao Lang?" Gu Yuchu, who was outside the door, stuck his head out and called out sweetly.

Xiao Ling raised his head and glanced, smiling with raised eyebrows, as warm as the jasper hidden in his chest, but he didn't respond to her.

"Brother Xiao?" Gu Yuchu stepped into the door with his hands behind his back and continued to joke with him with a smile.

"Are you done with today's work?" Xiao Ling asked calmly.

"It's not that you don't know what's going on right now, but it's the excitement here. It's really a world of ice and fire." Gu Yuchu crossed his arms, looking very carefree, not treating himself as an outsider at all.

"If you have free time, go practice martial arts." Xiao Ling couldn't understand the meaning of her words, so he rolled his eyes at her and dismissed her.

"I brought you delicious food specially." The woman took out the hawthorn cake she bought on the street from her back and handed it to him with a smile.

"If you want to ask anything, just ask." Xiao Ling changed his attitude, took the hawthorn cake with a smile, and slowly unwrapped the brown paper.

"What are they two doing here?" Gu Yuchu asked, dragging his cheeks.

"Can't you guess it?"

"One wants to cut off his beard, and the other comes to ask for advice."

Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows, twisted a piece of hawthorn cake, and smelled it.

"Boss Zhang is fuming and Madam Juan is smiling. Mr. Xiao has deep feelings for Suo Xing Palace."

"It's so sour!" Xiao Ling said seriously after taking a bite of the hawthorn cake.

"If you don't like it, give it back to me!" Gu Yuchu squinted his eyes and wanted to take the cake back, but Xiao Ling grabbed her wrist and moved the cake aside.

"Every girl is like this." Xiao Ling stretched out his hand and grabbed her nose.

Such closeness made Gu Yuchu a little embarrassed, and she unconsciously scratched her nose that had just been grabbed.

Xiao Ling didn't take it seriously. He regained his coolness and issued another order to expel guests.

"If you have nothing to ask, just come back."

"No, I want to know what good ideas you have given Juan Niang." Gu Yuchu picked up the step and changed the topic smoothly.

"Want to know?" Xiao Ling gave up and twitched the corner of his mouth.

The image of Ling Zhiyu suddenly flashed through Gu Yuchu's mind at an inappropriate time. She composed herself and shook her head unconsciously, trying to clear this strange scene from her mind.

"Forget it if you don't want to know." When Xiao Ling saw how cute she looked, the smile in his eyes froze and his bright eyes were clear.

"No, no, no, I want to know." Gu Yuchu nodded fiercely.

"You women are so fickle." Xiao Ling tilted his head slightly, expressing his helplessness.

"Hurry up and say it." Gu Yuchu pulled his sleeve hard and urged.

"It's very simple, retreat to advance." Xiao Ling shook her off and adjusted his cuffs.

"Yeah, what next." The woman blinked and listened carefully.

"No more." Xiao Ling twisted another piece of hawthorn cake and ate it with relish.

"What do you mean there is no future?" Gu Yuchu's eyes widened in disbelief, looking in disbelief.

Xiao Ling carefully watched the reaction of the woman in front of him, and then he cleared up his expression of surprise, as if he understood something again.

"cunning."

Gu Yuchu pretended to understand everything, but in fact she still had only half-understanding in her heart. Although she understood the literal meaning of retreat in order to advance, she did not understand how deeply Beiling and Dongqi had invaded Hehe and the situation they had laid. How big it was, so she couldn't predict how to retreat from this game, where to retreat, how to advance, and where to advance.But from then on, Juan Niang seemed to have taken a reassurance. She didn't care about the mediocre business. Instead, she spent a lot of money to hire two chefs from the best restaurants in Qiongzhou. They also used beautiful names to capture the hearts of men. His stomach must be caught first.

The strangest thing is that after misappropriating such a large amount of money, Yu Bai didn't even frown, and Liang Feng didn't say a word nonsense.

A few days later, the cold wind picked up again in Qiongzhou.

Zhao Ziyang, the commander of the right battalion of the Hehe National Guard Army, was deprived of his military power and imprisoned at home.

Some people rumored that someone in the court was impeaching him for embezzling military funds and lining his own pockets, but the reality was that his pregnant Liujia concubine was Beiling Seizaku, and the king suspected that he had liaisons with foreign countries and betrayed military intelligence.

Later, there were rumors that Ouyang Qunfang, the Grand Sikong of Hehe State, had a big argument with the king at the court meeting because of General Zhao. The Grand Sikong was unyielding and refused to go to court for five days to show his dissatisfaction.

After a while, the business in the building gradually improved due to the famous dishes and snacks provided by the new chef. Especially after Xiao Ling miraculously cured Miss Sang'er's throat, Miss Sang'er made up a paragraph The lyrics spread in the market.

Curiosity is often the best weight. There are waves of guests coming and going to listen to the music, wanting to see with their own eyes how this peerless and elegant abandoned wife is doing.

"The birds in the forest hold green branches in their mouths, and in the moonlight the willow branches cannot hide themselves in their golden nests; thunder clouds arrive, the rain pours, and the roof tiles are tilted in the shade of the house, so the male bird cannot escape; the flowers are charming and angry, the green branches are broken, and they are not as charming as in the vase. It will become mud under your feet.”

At this time, the trend of the market changed drastically, and rumors began to spread that Dou Mengqi was jealous of his wife, so he lynched his family slaves to blame his son. However, Dou Mengqi was angry with the Ping family, wanted to protect his reputation, and hindered the emperor's order. Son, send me back to Hualou.

So, the girl Sang'er suddenly changed from a troubled beauty to a poor lady with an ill-fated fate. Suo Xing Palace also got rid of its reputation of being unkind. After the storm subsided in March, the business in the building was booming again. It's booming.

Juan Niang struck while the iron was hot and brought forth the new. She hung a small copper pot in the center of the lobby. The pot was filled with fine wine. The eight handles of the copper pot were pulled by copper wires to the eight styles on the roof. The mouth of the pot was opposite to the cantilever beam. The above painting shows the sun and moon shining together. In this way, the sun and moon on the corridor are imprinted in the wine, which has the beauty of the sun and moon in the pot.

The most interesting thing is that as long as the guests put copper coins into the pot anywhere in the building, they can enjoy the three-day feast of the Overlord, and they can also be served by the Sonny girl.As a result, the sun, moon, heaven and earth in the pot became the most popular topic in Hehe, and Suo Xing Palace once again became the most lively place on the border of the Three Kingdoms.

Gu Yuchu folded his arms and leaned against the pillar on the third floor. He looked coldly at the guests who were eager to try but failed one after another, and shook his head helplessly.

The "Autumn Water" in the built-in round pond under the hall on the first floor has long been overflowing with countless fallen copper coins.

"What are you staring at?" Xiao Ling saw her bored look from a distance on the fifth floor, so he came out of his room and walked around in front of her.

"Do you think these men are all crazy? The more difficult it is, the more desperate they become, unable to extricate themselves." Gu Yuchu felt from the bottom of his heart.

"There is no distinction between men and women." Xiao Ling said leisurely.

"Don't you feel moved?" Gu Yuchu turned around with a suspicious look.

"What's so exciting?" Xiao Ling glanced at her sideways.

"Miss Son'er is a charming and enchanting girl. If you want to..." Gu Yuchu smiled mischievously, "I won't hesitate to spend a small copper coin."

"Hmph, the closest distance between the entire flower tower and the target is ten feet. The copper wire pulling the pot body has not been tightened, and the pot body is shaking. The mouth of the pot is not too big or too small, just about the size of a copper coin. Even if it is a hidden weapon Even a master can't guarantee that he will hit the target in one try. Are you sure you can do it?" Xiao Ling nodded her forehead and laughed at her innocence and cuteness.

"I will definitely be able to do it for your spring night. I'll just try a few more times." Gu Yuchu rolled up his sleeves, looking like he was determined to win.

"You care about me so much?" Xiao Ling smiled, crossing his arms and blocking the way in front of this silly woman.

"Of course, we are good brothers."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ling immediately stopped the smile in his eyes and darkened his face.

"What's wrong?" Gu Yuchu looked confused.

"I'm tired." Xiao Ling turned around and left.

"Hey! Then do you still want me to help you?" Gu Yuchu pulled his sleeve, still expressing his kindness without giving up.

"You're welcome." Xiao Ling hit the head of this woman who didn't understand her thoughts hard, and Gu Yuchu grimaced in pain.

Looking at Xiao Ling's back, Gu Yuchu muttered that all men are absolutely crazy, without exception.
