Chapter Ninety-Three: Idle Days
Liu Han soon saw the benefits of accepting Zuo Lan, Zuo Lan was actually a scholarly family, but his father never met anyone who appreciated him in his life, first mixed a petty official in the yamen, but he was soon excluded, and he became a private school in the imperial capital, so after a few years, he couldn't afford to be ill, and soon after she got married, she died, and her mother returned to her hometown with her younger brother, and since then, she has been left alone in the imperial capital.
Her man was set for her by her mother when her father was seriously ill, her mother knew that this man was good at gambling, but the man gave a lot of bride price, and her father needed money for treatment, and she was sixteen years old at the time, which is considered to be a big one in this era, if her father was sick, he would have to keep filial piety for three years, and there could be no marriage during this period, and he would not be married until nineteen or twenty, and then talk about marriage, it would be too late, in this era, more than eighteen and then marry and become a leftover woman.
All of this came together, she could only marry, marry the man with the richest bride price, and soon after the marriage, her father died, and her mother returned home with her younger brother, so she was the only one left in the imperial capital.
Her father is very high-minded, and he has no relatives in the emperor, and she has two relatives in her man's family, but these two relatives look down on her man and have not been in contact for seven or eight years.
It was an accident to escape from Niu Siye's hands, but after escaping, she didn't know where to go, so she had to run home in a hurry.
"When I first got married, there were two people in the family, and I learned this tofu skill from them, and later, he always lost, and the family was sold, I knew that I had to learn to earn money and learn to support myself, otherwise I would be sold by him,.。 ”
In the face of Liu Han's interrogation, Zuo Lan sobbed and told about her experience, Zhang Mei and Fan's sister-in-law were crying beside her, and Liu Han also pretended to sigh.
Zuo Lan's father is a scholar, she has also read books, can paint, and has some artistic recuperation, so Liu Han has some ideas, just say a few words, she understands, and can even make modifications.
Zuo Lan worked hard and carefully, for fear of upsetting Liu Han or Zhang Mei, and then sold her.
Liu Han was very satisfied with Zuo Lan, but he was not so polite to Zhang Mei, and that night he carried out the family law on Zhang Mei, beat Zhang Mei's ass red, and then let her call for most of the night.
"Master, the slave knows it's wrong," Zhang Mei finally collapsed in Liu Han's arms, and the little pigeon was pinched into various shapes by the thick hands, with pain and ****, which made him excited and scared, and repeatedly begged softly: "The slave will not dare in the future, so the master will spare this time." ”
"Don't forgive. Liu Han's expression seemed to be very cold, Zhang Mei couldn't help but tremble in her heart, and stuck to Liu Han's chest and whispered: "Master, let the slave rest and punish the slave again, the slave really has no strength." ”
Liu Han pinched the little pigeon hard, and then let go, slid down the smooth back to the little chrysanthemum, lightly, the delicate body in his arms suddenly trembled, along the way, Zhang Mei followed him in everything, no matter what the requirements, she tried her best to meet him, only one thing, this is it, every time I touch it, it hurts.
Her figure is petite, ** relatively shallow, unlike the daughters of Tianna Meiji, who makes it difficult for Liu Han to enjoy herself every time, but she dies and comes back to life every time.
The later stage of the teahouse was cleaned up very quickly, Zuo Lan was very diligent, almost all of these things were done by herself, Liu Han was regarded as a shopkeeper, training Zhang Mei's tea art kung fu at home every day, but Zuo Lan was also very interested in this, and her comprehension far surpassed Zhang Mei, and she quickly mastered the essence of the tea ceremony.
"Master, does every guest have to make tea like this?" Zhang Mei didn't understand, Liu Han smiled: "This is actually a gimmick, every guest has to make tea like this, how many people do we have to add, and the labor cost can't be consumed." ”
Zuo Lan pursed her lips and smiled, Liu Han's eyes lit up, she felt that this woman was so charming, the sun smeared a layer of rouge on her pale skin, her gentle and beautiful eyes were crooked, the fingers holding the teacup were slender and fair, the bandeau stretched out a deep career line, and the pink and white skin was faintly visible under the green emerald cigarette shirt.
Noticing Liu Han's gaze, Zuo Lan's face turned red, and she hurriedly wrapped up her clothes, she was lustful for this male host, she had seen it these days. These days, I first stayed with them in the guest house, and then moved to this teahouse, and I could hear Zhang Mei's uncontrollable moaning every time.
However, although this man is lustful, he is not bad to her, at least much stronger than her genuine man, he has not beaten her, although he is lustful, he has not done anything to her, and there is no teasing between words, which makes her feel a lot more at ease, she knows that if the man wants her to sleep, she has no way to resist.
"Master, it's time for our teahouse to have a name. Zuo Lan avoided Liu Han's gaze and said separately.
Liu Han thought for a while and asked, "What did you say you would call it?"
"Gao Sheng Teahouse, we... As soon as Zhang Mei said this, she saw Liu Han's fierce gaze, and she hurriedly changed her words: "Gao Sheng, how good, Gao Sheng as an official, Gao Sheng as a scholar, who doesn't want to be promoted, the slave family is called Gao Sheng." ”
Liu Han frowned slightly, looking at Zuo Lan, Zuo Lan lowered his head, revealing a white back of his neck, although the gauze was tightly caged, it could be resisted from top to bottom, and he could see half of the white ****, he couldn't help but feel in his heart, the volume of this pigeon is much stronger than Zhang Mei.
"Master!" Zhang Mei saw Liu Han frowning, staring at Zuo Lan in a daze, couldn't help but be a little jealous, and reminded in a coquettish voice.
Liu Han pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "Gao Sheng?!We are not officials, what we want is leisure, the Taoist code says that Xiao Shao is ninety, and the Fenghuang comes to Yi, and our teahouse is called Youfeng Laiyi." ”
"There is Feng Laiyi. Zhang Mei was a little confused, but Zuo Lan's eyes lit up, and she looked at Liu Han curiously and wonderingly, how could such an elegant word come out of the mouth of this person who looked a little vulgar.
"There is Feng Laiyi!"
A golden plaque was hung on the teahouse gate mountain, and the surrounding neighbors gathered around the door to watch, crackling firecrackers rang out, and the Fenglaiyi teahouse opened.
Liu Han looked at the plaque and the lively crowd and finally breathed a sigh of relief, these days, he took the time to go back to his second home, got together with Tianna and the three daughters for a while, and met Lao Huang at the same time.
After the battle of Zexian Ferry, the Cao Gang evacuated Pengcheng, and Fengyulou did not immediately move into Pengcheng, but patiently took over the territory left by the Cao Gang in the imperial capital, Xiao Yu's actions were very fast, and he took over the entire Cao Gang's territory in a few days, but the problem came immediately.
After the Cao gang withdrew, the interests left behind were very large, and Fengyulou took over all of them, which attracted the eyes of countless imperial gangs, and several small gangs in the imperial capital formed a coalition to propose a piece of the pie to Fengyulou, although these gangs are small, they can be united together is also a big force, plus there are backers behind each family, this is another force.
In order to swallow the benefits as soon as possible, Xiao Yu did not take the form of forcible suppression, but negotiated with them and promised to spit out some benefits, but in order to share the leftovers, those gangs fought again.
Fengyulou took the opportunity to stand on the shore and watch the excitement, among these gangs, the most fierce fight is the Sihe Gang and the Liangjiang Society in the east of the city, both of which are small gangs, the Sihe Gang plus the peripheral organizations are only a few dozen people, the number of Liangjiang Hui is slightly more, however, their main sphere of influence is outside Jianyang Gate, and the Sihe Gang is inside Jianyang Gate, this time they are fighting for the two streets near Jianyang Gate thrown out by Fengyulou.
In Fengyulou's view, these two streets are not very oily, but for the two gangs, they are an excellent opportunity to expand their power, so the two gangs are fighting for it.
Liu Han was extremely in favor of Xiao Yu's move, and the loss was not large, and he easily defused the siege of the imperial capital gang.
However, what he was most concerned about was the fleet, Xiao Yu took 100,000 taels of silver from him, saying that he was going to order a ship, but he didn't know what he had ordered at that dock.
He met Xiao Yu twice, talking about the fleet, he did not have the slightest interest in the distribution of the territory of the imperial capital, but the fleet was very important, he calculated that each ship could earn a net profit of one hundred taels of silver per year from freight alone, and hundreds of ships had an annual income of tens of thousands of taels of silver, and he owned thirty percent of the shares, which meant that tens of thousands of taels of silver would be recorded every year if he did nothing.
The King of Qin was deeply dissatisfied with his disappearance for five months, and specially sent someone to the imperial capital and waited for him in the imperial capital for two months, but Liu Han still did not go to see him.
Liu Han is also increasingly dissatisfied with King Qin, this guy only knows how to ask for money, and does nothing else, as if he is an ATM.
Therefore, Liu Han deliberately ignored his envoy and hung him for a few days.
There is another thing that must be dealt with, the matter of Qingjin.
Qing Jin won the top spot in this year's Oiran Contest without any suspense, and the business of Baiyuan Garden suddenly boomed, Qing Jin played two songs in the garden every day, and then chatted with the scholars present, which inevitably made Tianna and the three daughters worried.
"Master, hurry up and bring the Qingjin girl back, be careful of both people and money. ”
The teahouse opened, Liu Han was finally idle, the matter of the Cao Gang came to an end, just waiting for their people to contact, to be honest, Liu Han still didn't believe in Fang Zhen very much, these people handed over to him were all petty officials, even if they wanted to contact, they wouldn't make any big moves.
Therefore, during this time, his life was very leisurely.
"Brother Xiao, don't you want Pengcheng? It's all for Luoma Water Village? I've been to see it, this Pengcheng is a big wharf, and there are a lot of merchants coming and going. ”
Liu Han regained his original appearance and made an appointment to meet Xiao Yu in the Baicao Garden, at this moment he leaned on Qing Jin's lap, Qing Jin gently pulled off the skin of the grapes, and then gently fed the grapes into his mouth.
The juice is fleshy, thick, sweet and delicious.
"Drunk and lying on the knees of beauty, waking up and killing the sword, life is very happy!" Liu Han sighed with satisfaction.
Xiao Yu had a dark cloud on his brows, looking at him and sighing, Liu Han squinted at him: "What's the matter?
"Brother doesn't know," Xiao Yu sighed: "Chang Meng, the second master of Luoma Water Village, has disappeared, and He Dong is now in Pengcheng Dasuo, digging three feet into the ground to find Chang Meng." ”
"Missing?" Liu Han was stunned: "Chang Er is in charge?"
Xiao Yu nodded solemnly, he stared at Liu Han and asked, "When the elder brother passed through Pengcheng, did he see Chang Er's master?"
Liu Han shook his head: "No, Chang Er's cultivation is quite deep, who can let him disappear silently?"
Xiao Yu frowned, this situation made him very frightened, Chang Meng is not a pawn, he is the second leader of the fallen horse water village, there are not many people who have the ability to kill him, among these people, who have shown up in Pengcheng during this time, and now they find a Liu Han.
