The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei

Chapter 133 Sitting Alone in the Bamboo House with a Cup of Wine

Lian Chujun gave some instructions and prepared to return to the guest room, but after taking two steps forward, he quickly turned back.

The moment Lian Yi saw Lian Chujun, his expression suddenly froze, and he thought to himself, "Looking at his attitude, he might have changed his mind!"

As if seeing Lian Yi's concerns, Lian Chujun waved his hand and said, "Manager Lian! Since I have promised, I will not regret it. Why do you look like that?"

Lian Yi felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. He bowed awkwardly and said, "Boss Lian! I was judging you by my own standards. I don't know..."

"Since you are an official family, I have to pay you a visit. You are all businessmen, don't you understand?" Lian Chujun said with a smile.

Lian Yi immediately understood that Lian Chujun wanted to make friends with him. After all, there is an iron rule among business people, that is, those who can make friends will not make enemies.

You never know when the other person will be able to help you. Even a very small favor can help you avoid many detours.

Seeing Lian Chujun's sincere eyes, Lian Yi raised his eyes and said, "The three people in the corner, Boss Lian, go by yourself. I will not accompany you."

"Thank you!~"

Lian Chujun bowed and thanked her, then took the key from the counter and walked towards Xie Shuting.

Lian Chujun did not avoid anyone, and walked straight to Xie Shuting who was sitting in the upper seat, stroked her hand and said: "I am Lian Chujun, may I ask you something?"

"I'm Xie Weiyu, and I'm polite to my boss." While speaking, Xie Shuting bowed and returned the greeting.

"My name is Li Shixian, nice to meet you." Li Shixian responded calmly and just sat down and bowed.

After just one look, Lian Chujun could tell the backgrounds of the two. Xie Shuting was a typical lady from a wealthy family, the daughter of an official.

As for Li Shixian's behavior, he must be a man of the underworld.

Besides, Li Shixian dressed as a man, which was not only convenient for her to act, but also a common practice in the underworld.

Lian Chujun analyzed the two of them clearly, and Xie Shuting also found out everything about the other party without any error.

Just the fact that Lian Chujun behaved neither servilely nor arrogantly made him worthy of the title of the richest businessman in Jiangnan. After all, with his ability and financial resources, it would not be difficult for him to become a fifth-rank governor.

However, Xie Shuting had never expected that she, a daughter of a seventh-rank county magistrate, would be willing to humble herself and make friends with him.

After a brief pause of half an hour, Lian Chujun laughed out loud and said, "Miss Xie! I heard from Shopkeeper Lian that you guys came to Yizhou for a visit, but you didn't expect the inn to be full and you couldn't book the room you wanted?"

"These are all trivial matters, but I have caused my boss to worry about me. This is my fault."

"What are you talking about?"

Lian Chujun waved his hands repeatedly and said, "This is the old man's discomfort. Now the person I'm going to meet will be four or five days later. If Miss Xie doesn't mind, I'd like to trouble Miss Xie to help me take a look at this Tianzi No. 1 room."

"How can you say that? I can't do that. I can't do that." Xie Shuting hurriedly refused.

"At home, I rely on my brothers. Outside, I rely on my friends. If Miss Xie thinks highly of me, please consider it as a favor to me. Lian Chujun will be grateful."

Having said that, Xie Shuting stopped refusing and gave Lian Xi a look before agreeing happily, "Then I will accept Boss Lian's favor."

"Thank you, Boss Lian." Lian Xi held the key and returned the greeting politely.

"It's just a small thing, no need to thank me. Goodbye."

Lian Chujun bowed and said goodbye to the three people, then walked towards the room on the top floor.

Looking at Lian Chujun's departing back, Xie Shuting sighed helplessly and said, "It seems that I owe him a big favor."

"Oh!~"

Li Shixian couldn't help but ask, "Shu Ting! Why do you say that?"

"There are too many people downstairs, let's go back to the room and talk." After saying this, Xie Shuting led the two of them upstairs.

The waiter waiting at the stairs guided the three people all the way until they arrived at the door of Room No. 1.

"Three guests, this is Room No. 1, also known as Youhuangju. Please come in!" The waiter gestured with his hand and left the attic.

Li Shixian pushed the door open and looked at the luxurious decoration in the room. Even though she had seen a lot of the world, she couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

She walked in slowly, muttering to herself.

Six-fold Brocade Screen Embroidery Case,

There is a white jade cup on the square table.

The moonlight on the river can be seen from the window.

The sky is covered with snow along the Jade Embankment.

Hearing this, Xie Shuting glanced around the room with a smile and said loudly.

The fragrance of orchids secretly suits the gentleman's wishes.

The plum blossoms show a different kind of emotion.

Poetry and lyrics are elegant and simple.

How can a jade tower be suitable for living in a secluded bamboo area?

Looking at the unbelievable things in front of him, Li Shixian couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "I have traveled all over the Song Dynasty, but I have never seen such a luxurious restaurant. Shuting! Does Yuelai Inn in Laigu County also have one..."

"What are you thinking about?" Xie Shuting said unhappily.

Lian Xi, who was standing by, covered her mouth and snickered, "Miss Li! Yuelai Inn doesn't have such luxurious rooms."

"This shouldn't be the case! Aren't these all properties owned by the Lian family merchants?" Li Shixian asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Xie Shuting did not say anything, but lit the charcoal fire in the furnace, handed the fan to Lian Xi and said, "Slow down, be careful of the dust."

"Yes!~" Lian Xi responded.

As the fan continued to fan, the room was filled with the crackling sound of charcoal fire, and Xie Shuting gradually calmed down.

She rolled up her sleeves and looked at Li Shixian and said, "Shixian! Yizhou is connected to Qinzhou in the lower part and Dali and Baiyue in the south, and has a prosperous trade. What this place lacks the most is businessmen, so guest rooms of this specification can only be found in Yizhou."

"Oh!~"

Li Shixian nodded mechanically, glanced at the inner room and said, "Shu Ting! This room is separated from the next room by a wall. Will Lian Chujun have other thoughts?"

Xie Shuting looked suspicious and asked, "What are you thinking?"

Li Shixian swallowed subconsciously and looked up and down at Xie Shuting. From her strange eyes, Xie Shuting instantly saw her strange thoughts.

"Stop it."

Xie Shuting quickly stopped Li Shixian's imagination, and after thinking for a moment, she said thoughtfully: "Lian Chujun is a salt merchant in Jiangnan. He is the richest man in Jiangnan with a strong family background. The people he associates with are either prefects or governors. How can he fall in love with a girl from the boudoir of a county magistrate?"

"The richest man?"

Li Shixian was a little surprised and said, "Since he is the richest man, why is he dressed so...mediocre."

Li Shixian couldn't think of a good word to describe him for a moment. After all, she felt that Lian Chujun was out of place when she first saw him.

The middle-aged man with a plump figure and a linen shirt on his body was unpleasant to the eye no matter how you looked at him.

As if seeing Li Shixian's concerns, Xie Shuting responded calmly: "No matter how rich he is, he is still bound by etiquette, unlike you Jianghu people who are free and easy."

"I see."

Li Shixian nodded, looked at Xie Shuting with a smile and said, "Shuting! If your identity is exposed in the future, you might as well change into men's clothes like me, which will save you a lot of trouble."

Xie Shuting suddenly felt insane. She didn't understand why Li Shixian always wanted her to change into men's clothes.

As for Li Shixian's bad taste, etiquette required her to reject it sternly and not give him any chance.

Little did she know! Later, Xie Shuting was slapped in the face. She felt a little awkward when she first wore it, but after a while, she got a little addicted.
