Stop it, how could a black girl slander my body?

She smiled sheepishly: "Sister Liu, there is a customer here who wants to order a chestnut cake."

Liu Ru was a little surprised, "Oh, someone wants to eat it. Xiaotao, you said it will take a long time."

Xiao Tao nodded, "As I said, the customer said that the chestnut cake was baked slowly, so it's okay."

Liu Ru was a little confused, "That guest really said that. Don't take other people's benefits to deceive your sister."

Xiaotao shook her head quickly, "No, Sister Liu, this is what the guest said personally, and you are the only one here who knows how to make chestnut cakes, and I have never told anyone."

Liu Ru patted Xiaotao's head, "Okay, sister, I believe you. Then, where is the young master who needs it?"

Xiao Tao thought for a while: "Well...it was brought by Prince Zhou, who is a friend of Prince Zhou. I don't look like a young master from a noble family. After all, he doesn't look at me like a servant."

After listening to Xiao Tao's words, Liu Ru became slightly curious about the guest who ordered chestnut cake.

"Okay, I understand. Xiaotao, please go down first. I'll do it later."

"Okay, Sister Liu."

After Xiaotao finished speaking, she skipped away.

Liu Ru shook her head helplessly, "This girl..."

After saying that, she put down the piano in her hand and walked towards the kitchen.

"Hum hum…"

She hummed a little tune and seemed to be in a good mood.

Chapter 219: Oiran

Bai Lin and Zhou Tong were in the box watching the scene downstairs.

A group of scholars holding folding fans entered here one by one.

Bai Lin was a little surprised. Scholars also like to listen to operas and so on?

Zhou Tong was obviously in a bad mood when he saw the group of scholars.

"They're just a bunch of polite scum."

Bai Lin smiled when he saw him like this.

"Brother Zhou, when I first met you, you seemed to have a book in your hand at all times."

Zhou Tong shook his head, "It's not that the journey is too boring. Pick up a book and read it. What I don't like about these people is that they have to find a high-sounding excuse for whatever they do."

"For example, if you want to go to a brothel, you have to make a lot of excuses. If you want to release yourself, can you just say no?"

Bai Lin originally took a sip of tea, but when he heard Zhou Tong's words, he almost spit it out.

Fortunately, he held back.

Brother Zhou, this is too straightforward.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. It should be that the cakes were delivered.

Xiao Tao walked in with a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

"Your Majesty, Young Master, let's have some sweet-scented osmanthus cake first. The chestnut cake will have to wait for a while."

Bai Lin nodded, "It's okay, thank you."

Zhou Tong saw Bai Lin thanking Xiao Tao. Brother Bai, you really don't have any arrogance. You have the same attitude towards your servants.

At this moment, a performance seemed to begin on the stage below.

Five or six girls in beautiful silks and satins walked onto the stage and began to dance gracefully.

The seats below were already full, and Bai Lin also saw that several boxes around him were also full.

Bai Lin asked curiously: "Brother Zhou, are there so many people in this Huafang every day?"

Zhou Tong thought for a moment and said, "I left for more than a year, and the business here was so booming before I left."

Bai Lin asked quietly: "Is this really all about listening to music?"

Zhou Tong laughed when he saw Bai Lin like this.

"There are other places, but the shopkeeper here is the oiran himself, so he can basically not do anything else. The most he can do is listen to music, compose poems, and cultivate sentiments. However, the shopkeeper here seems to like poetry, and many literati want to write poems. Come and take a look at the shopkeeper’s beauty, you might have fallen into this trap by accident.”

"I see, she looks like a rich woman."

Bai Lin nodded. He picked up an osmanthus cake and took a bite. It tasted very good.

He is looking forward to the chestnut cake that will come later.

Time passed by little by little, and by the time the program on the stage had changed to the third one, the chestnut cakes arrived.

Bai Lin looked at the fragrant chestnut cake.

Feeling much happier, he picked up the cake and took a bite.

At the moment of entrance, his eyes lit up.

This chestnut cake was much more delicious than any he had tasted before.

Seeing that Xiao Tao was still standing aside, he asked: "Um, girl, who in the painting made this chestnut cake? Is it your chef?"

"Sir, just call me Xiaotao, but I can't reveal who made it. We don't have any chefs here. We girls make it all ourselves."

Bai Lin didn't ask who it was. He planned to ask later and learn from his master.

Seeing that Bai Lin had no other questions, Xiao Tao was ready to leave.

Bai Lin spoke again at this time: "That little peach girl, if you meet a girl who makes this, please tell me, I want to learn how to make this, can you teach me?"

Xiao Tao thought for a while and nodded.

"Okay, son."

After Xiao Tao exited, Zhou Tong looked at Bai Lin in surprise.

"Brother Bai, do you want to learn how to make this?"

Bai Lin nodded, "Yes, and I'm preparing to open a chestnut cake shop in the royal city, so I want to study hard."

Zhou Tong didn't know what to say at this time. You are such a great master, why can't you think of doing this?

But seeing Bai Lin's happy look, he shook his head secretly. If Brother Bai likes it, let Lin Bo go find a shop tomorrow.

In the inner courtyard, Xiao Tao came back, and Liu Ru's face was already covered with a veil.

"Xiao Tao, how's it going? He's satisfied with what I did."

Xiaotao ran over jumping.

"Sister Liu, he is not only satisfied, he also wants to learn from you. You are indeed Sister Liu. No one else has even seen you, Sister Liu, and they have already been conquered by your craftsmanship."

Liu Ru chuckled softly when he heard this.

"Do you want to learn from him? He's an interesting guy. By the way, Xiaotao, you said he is a friend of Prince Zhou?"

Xiaotao nodded, "Well, yes."

Liu Ruhua picked up the piano and said, "Okay, let's go."

....

While Bai Lin was eating the cake with satisfaction, the lights on the boat dimmed.

He looked curiously at the stage below.

He had seen this scene before. When he was in the beast tribe, the little white girl looked like this when she appeared. It seemed that the oiran in the boat was about to appear.

Zhou Tong quickly said: "Brother Bai, here we come. Today's highlight is the highlight. This is why I brought you here."

Looking at the stage, a girl in white clothes and veil walked up and put down the piano on her back.

Looking at the woman's figure and graceful figure, even though she was covered with a veil, Bai Lin knew that she must be a beautiful and fragrant woman.

This is Liu Ru who came out of the inner courtyard.

Liu Ru, holding both hands on the strings.

Seeing her actions, everyone in the boat stopped what they were doing, held their breath, and watched the performance on the high platform.

Liu Ru gently plucked the strings, and the long sound resounded throughout the boat.

When Bai Lin listened to the soft sound of the piano, he felt a sense of tranquility that he had never experienced before, as if the deepest things in his heart were slowly being peeled away.

He thought about his experiences during this period, and when he woke up in Yunzhou City, he found that he was reborn, and what he had done to prevent Mo Xue Loli from turning black, and finally went to the Orcs and met Qin Qin. Xin and Xinyu, during this period of time, there were things that made him laugh, and there were also sad things.

I had never thought about these things in detail before, prompted by the sound of the piano.

He closed his eyes and secretly recalled these precious memories.

He used to think that he was an ordinary person, but now he is different. He has the ability to protect the things he wants to protect, and he also has the ability to do more important things. He is also the first throne of the abyss, and there are some things he has to do. made.

I don’t know how much time passed before the sound of the piano slowly stopped.

Bai Lin opened his eyes and looked at Liu Ru on the stage.

What a magical sound.

Chapter 2: A strange poem among thousands of poems

After Liu Ru finished playing the piano, everyone applauded.

This heavenly piano sound can only be played by Miss Liu Ru.

Liu Ru stood up and walked back.

Xiao Tao behind her took out a thick stack of paper.

"What follows is an old rule, and you should all understand it."

The scholars downstairs all nodded, "I understand, thank you for your hard work, Miss Tao."

Looking at them now, it looks like they have been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Xiao Tao asked the other girls to come over, and each of them took a stack of paper and distributed it.

"The time limit is half an hour, and those who exceed the time limit will be disqualified."

When Bai Lin heard this, his head was filled with questions.

"What old rules? If this is not explained clearly, I don't know either."

At this time, Zhou Tong started to explain. "Brother Bai, this is why I asked you before if you could compose poetry."

Bai Lin asked: "Is there any connection between this?"

"It's like this. Everyone can write what they want to say to the shopkeeper on the paper. However, the shopkeeper only likes poetry, so most of the expressions must be presented in poetry. However, in the end, it all depends on whether the shopkeeper will accept it or not."

Bai Lin nodded, "So that's it."

Miss Tao walked in with two pieces of paper.

"Your Majesty, Young Master, this is the paper for you two."

Zhou Tong took the paper away and put it on the table without any intention of writing. He himself was not a literati, and he was really not good at writing poetry.

Bai Lin held the paper and was thinking deeply.

Then he saw Xiao Tao standing at the door.

"Miss Xiao Tao, please ask."

Miss Xiao Tao walked in, "Master, do you have any questions?"

"Hmm...can I really only write poems on this piece of paper?"

Xiao Tao shook her head. In fact, there was no rule that only poetry could be written. It was just that when these literati heard that Sister Liu liked poetry, they all liked to use poetry to express themselves in order to win Sister Liu's favor.

"Sir, actually speaking, there is no such rule."

When Bai Lin heard this, he thought that since there were no hard and fast rules, it would be fine. He could write a letter of study and let the girl who made chestnut cakes teach him.

He picked up the pen.

Zhou Tong was stunned when he saw Bai Lin's movements.

"Brother Bai, didn't you say you can't compose poetry?"
