Chapter 173
"I'll give you half a day to memorize this. I have to take the exam when I come back in the evening. If you can't memorize it, I won't take you out tomorrow." Li Qingyou pushed a multiplication table in front of her brother, which she had just written down.
of.
Half a day is shorter, but it just puts some pressure on my brother and gives him something to do, so that he doesn't have to think about going out and running around all day long.
When she came out of her home, the heat wave was rolling on the street, and the ground seemed to be steaming with steam. Li Qingyou didn't feel anything about the crisp autumn air, only the power of the autumn tiger.
Yuelai Building is not far from Mao'er Hutong, only three streets apart. Li Qingyou declined Guanshi Cao's offer of sending a car to pick her up and walked there alone.
It was dinner time, and there were many restaurants along the road with people eating there. As the largest restaurant in Qingshan County, Yuelai Restaurant was packed with guests.
From far away, I saw a waiter with a snow-white handkerchief draped over his shoulders walking between the guests, shouting constantly, "Come on, raise your feet high and turn around slowly."
As soon as Li Qingyou stepped into the threshold, a waiter immediately came over to greet him. He threw his snow-white handkerchief over his shoulders and said with a smile on his face, "I'd like to invite you, who are you? Are you going to sit downstairs or upstairs?"
Elegant room…”
The waiter said with a crackling sound like fried beans.
Li Qingyou looked around, "Where is Mr. Shen?"
The waiter immediately made an invitation gesture to the upstairs, "It turns out that he is the distinguished guest of Mr. Shen. Please come with me."
Mr. Shen is as flamboyant as ever. He wants the most expensive food, clothing, and accommodation. In addition to choosing the largest restaurant for dinner, he also wants the largest and best private room.
Li Qingyou followed the waiter and walked in. There was no one in the private room, and neither Mr. Shen nor the county magistrate had arrived yet.
"Please wait a moment, sir. I'll make you some tea first." After saying this, the waiter opened the curtain and went out.
This meeting was still about a quarter of an hour away from the agreed time. Li Qingyou sat down by the window and looked at the bustling crowd outside, feeling a sense of detachment as she looked down at the bustling scene.
I casually took the tea that the waiter had just made, and was thinking about what I asked Patriarch Li to do, when I saw Mr. Shen downstairs shaking his golden folding fan and walking across the street in three steps.
From a distance, you could see him flirting with a girl. With a raised lip and a smile, the girl blushed and left quickly, but she seemed reluctant to leave and kept looking back.
Alas, another girl is about to be brutally murdered.
Li Qingyou shook his head. Objectively speaking, Young Master Shen is in good condition. He is not too old at twenty-five or six years old, and his appearance is very handsome. In particular, his peach blossom eyes seem to be sparkling all the time, just like this moment.
"This lady is leaning on the railing and looking for this pearl hairpin?" As he spoke, Master Shen took out a pearl hairpin from his sleeve like magic and shook it back and forth in his hand. The beads on it were very good, and the gold foil wrapped in them reflected the
It makes little waves in the sunshine.
Li Qingyou raised his eyebrows, what was the cause of this trouble?
Look at Mr. Shen's accent. It doesn't look like he talks normally, but more like he's singing on the stage?
Suddenly, I remembered that last time I was in the Lixiang Garden in Yuzhou Prefecture, there seemed to be a play in which the hero and the heroine got to know each other because of a pearl hairpin, and later got married.
Has he not had enough love?
"Brother, the weather is dry and it is easy to get angry. Can I treat you to a cup of tea?" Li Qingyou said, raising the tea cup downstairs.
Third Young Master Shen was startled. He was right below Li Qingyou, and the cup of tea was directed at him.
At the critical moment, his limbs made a judgment before his brain, and Young Master Shen jumped several steps away, barely avoiding the attack range.
At the same time, he felt dissatisfied in his heart. It was just a joke, so why did he make a fool of himself in the street?
If word spreads that the third son of the Shen family was molested in the street and got tea poured all over him, wouldn't it be a shame to kill him?
Not to mention that Li Qingyou is still dressed as a man, so there is no telling what the news will be.
However, the imagined scene of tea soup pouring down did not appear. When he looked up again, he saw Li Qingyou sitting by the window sill with a smile, the tea cup in his hand was placed on his lips, "The third young master is so agile, I admire him very much."
As he spoke, he put the tea cup aside and cupped his hand towards him.
Only then did the Third Young Master Shen realize that he had been tricked. He felt that he should be angry. Even if he teased the person first, the other person did not really tease him, but he, the dignified Third Young Master of the Shen family, should be angry if someone teased him.
But what was unexpected was that when he saw Li Qingyou smiling and her eyes as smart as a cat, he was not angry at all.
It's really crazy.
No matter what happened, I was in a good mood now. Mr. Shen had never been a troubled person. He laughed and stepped into the Yuelai Building, feeling quite free and uninhibited.
Li Qingyou was a little surprised when he saw it.
In her memory, or rather in the memory of the original owner, Mr. Shen was a cunning, cunning, narrow-minded, and vengeful person, but this didn't look like him at all.
By the way, this must be related to the Wei family.
While Li Qingyou was thinking wildly, Mr. Shen had already gone upstairs. The boy who followed him raised the curtain, and the waiter came to greet him and asked if he wanted to serve food.
"Wait a moment." Young Master Shen waved his hand and ordered everyone to retreat. After he and Li Qingyou were the only two people left in the room, he looked at Li Qingyou with a half-smile, "You are quite courageous."
If you are not angry, you are not angry, but you still have to find face.
Li Qingyou was not sure what he meant at this moment, so she could only say with a smile: "It's just a joke. If the third young master is frightened, then I will apologize here, right?"
As he spoke, he stood up and bowed.
Before Third Young Master Shen could say anything, the door curtain opened and the county magistrate came in from the outside. Third Young Master Shen quickly stood up and saluted, and Li Qingyou also bowed behind him.
"My dear nephew, please get up quickly. There is no need to be polite in private." The county magistrate gave him a hand, and then made an invitation gesture to the side, "Sit down."
Today's county magistrate is not wearing official uniform. He is wearing a dark blue turban embroidered with cloud patterns and looks like a gentleman from a wealthy family.
"Uncle Xu, please." Mr. Shen took a step back, and the two of them exchanged polite greetings before sitting down one after another. Li Qingyou also sat down beside him.
It was also at this time that the county magistrate noticed that there was one more person besides him and Mr. Shen. At first, he thought it was just a servant of the Shen family, so he didn't pay attention. But now it seems that is not the case at all.
Looking more closely, this person seemed familiar, and then he looked over in surprise, "Li Qingyou?"
Why is she here?
Isn't she familiar with the Wei family? Why is she related to the Shen family again?
