Stage [Republic of China]

Smoke, talk to me. "

Shui Jiu and this Master Zeng have never met before, so it is impossible for him to have anything to say. What Master Zeng said probably means that he is very satisfied with him.Lulu breathed a sigh of relief, and Shui Jiu was also moved in his heart.He sat down on the side of the couch as he said, leaned his head slightly forward, and lightly put the shredded tobacco in Mr. Zeng's crane mouth hookah, pouting his water chestnut lips, carefully blowing on the paper matcha.The faint blue smoke bubbles slowly lit up in the hookah, purring, and the sound of smoking the hookah was like birds singing and phoenixes singing.

Master Zeng narrowed his eyes slightly and sighed in enjoyment. "Well, she really is a good girl."

Shui Jiu lowered her eyes and forced a smile on her face.According to what Ning Jimin said, he might be able to spy on Li Daotai's whereabouts by being close to Mr. Zeng now, and then help the Jiangnan Rebels enter Jibei City in one fell swoop.but……

Shui Jiu was thinking with his eyes slightly lowered, when Master Zeng suddenly covered the back of his porcelain white hand with a big hand full of age spots.

Ah!Shui Jiu sneered unconsciously.

Mr. Zeng seemed to be aware of it, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and comforted him: "Don't think I'm too old, I'm from the capital, but I'm still a famous person in Jibei City."

Shui Jiu lowered her eyes, squeezed her throat to pretend to be a woman's delicate voice, and said timidly: "Don't dare, Mr. Zeng, you are too worried."

"It's not that I worry too much," Master Zeng smiled with narrowed eyes, and while smoking a hookah, he said slowly, "I know you think I'm too old. You young girls are always unhappy An old man like me."

"Master Zeng is not old at all." Shui Jiu spoke nonsense out of conscience.

Master Zeng chuckled and continued to smoke.Shui Jiu leaned on the side of the couch and waited for him to smoke three bags of cigarettes, then raised her eyelids and looked around, Lulu had already left.The wine table over there has already been drinking wine and wine, everyone is half drunk, and everyone's face is full of red.

Shui Jiu glanced at it for a while, and felt that he might not be able to get in the gear.According to Lulu, he is probably assigned to Master Zeng tonight.

Sitting in the middle of the wine table, Lulu is really like a fish in water, smiling like a bell in a cheongsam with high slits.Shui Jiuyue could recognize the few dandies around Lulu. It was strange that he didn't see that annoying Second Young Master Qin in such a lively tonight.

"Miss An, what are you looking at?" Master Zeng asked him abruptly.

Shui Jiu was taken aback and lowered his eyes.After a while, he said quietly, "I didn't see anything."

"Hehe," Master Zeng laughed with his hookah sideways in his mouth. "I know what you're thinking. Bad old man, it's always boring."

Master Zeng let out a sigh of relief, sat up, half leaned on the imperial concubine's couch and squinted his eyes and said to Shui Jiu, "But I can share your glory and wealth with you, probably other people at the wine table can't give it to you."

Shui Jiu lowered her eyes halfway, noncommittal.

Seeing that he didn't take the bait, Mr. Zeng seemed a little anxious, took another puff of the hookah, feeling a little anxious. "You don't believe me! Ms. An, as long as you follow me with peace of mind, in the future, I will have your glory and wealth."

Shui Jiu pondered for a while what Master Zeng meant, maybe he was going to be included as a concubine in the future?Also...it's okay, at least half of what Ning Jimin asked him to do when he came here.So Shui Jiu hummed lightly again.

Mr. Zeng seemed to think it was not enough, and said, "The old man is staying in the north of Hebei, and he will go out of the city within two or three days."

"Where is Master Zeng going?" Shui Jiu asked kindly.

"Ah," Master Zeng was really proud when he saw that he was finally willing to answer the question. He smoked a pipe, looked at Shui Jiu, and said slowly, "My hometown is also in Jingzhong. When I go back this time, I still want Ye Luo to return to her roots. of."

Most of the land in Jingzhong is the territory of the Jin army.Shui Jiu was slightly displeased, and subconsciously frowned her long eyebrows.Master Zeng noticed it immediately, and immediately comforted him: "You don't need to worry, although there may be many twists and turns on the road, but in my arms..."

Master Zeng leaned close to his face and said in a low voice: "But it has the seal of Prince Rui."

Prince Rui was originally his current uncle, if the imperial court survived, the seal of this Prince Rui would be enough to rule the world.Shui Jiu was slightly taken aback, but Master Zeng said again: "How about it, will you follow me?"

Shui Jiu wasn't sure whether he should go with the old Mr. Zeng, but he was very smooth in his mouth. "Everything, but according to your lord's orders."

Master Zeng smiled with satisfaction, put aside the enamel hookah on the crane's beak, slightly stroked the two goatees under his chin, and said to Shui Jiu: "Don't worry, prosperity will only be ordinary in the future."

Shui Jiu lowered her eyes and continued to hum lightly.

At the banquet that night, Lu Lu kept pouring tea and passing water among the dandies, but whenever someone offered a cup of wine, she would straighten her neck and drink it all in one gulp.Shui Jiu was serving Mr. Zeng here, and when he occasionally raised his eyes to see him, he just felt overwhelmed.

Fortunately, Mr. Zeng can't drink, and he also thinks these juniors are annoying, so he just leans on the imperial concubine's bed and chats with Shui Jiu some homely gossip.Unknowingly, the night was dark, and everyone at the banquet was about to disperse.Only then did Master Zeng say something to Shui Jiu seemingly casually. "Miss An, why don't you come with me?"

Shui Jiu, who was half-closed and drowsy, was stunned for a moment, and raised his eyes, but Master Zeng looked into his clear eyes and said something again. "You are a weak woman, and you are doing this kind of business. In today's world, I am afraid that there is no way out. You might as well follow me."

Shui Jiu didn't sleep very clearly, after hearing this sentence, she parted her lips slightly and let out an ah, her two water chestnut lips were as delicate as flowers.Mr. Zeng stared at his two flower-like lips, and slowly swallowed his saliva. This action of swallowing saliva caused Mr. Zeng to cough violently.Shui Jiu hastily raised his hand to caress his back, poured tea smoothly, Master Zeng took a sip of the thick Longjing by his hand, coughed a few times, and sincerely said: "Follow me , I will never let you suffer in the future."

These words were intended to comfort and win over.Shui Jiu was stunned, knowing that Master Zeng really regarded him as a woman, and planned to include him as a concubine.

◎"A Natural Beauty"◎

At the beginning of the night, the ten-mile foreign market on Gordon Road.

"Come, have a taste of this fresh shepherd's purse." Master Zeng personally put a chopstick of shepherd's purse in front of Shui Jiu's bowl.

Everyone at the table was startled, and then someone let out a long yo jokingly. "Miss An, this is really a great honor! You know, since Master Zeng lost his wife and child, uh, this backyard is still empty!"

- "Miss An, you are lucky."

- "Dafu!"

Everyone at the wine table burst into laughter.

Shui Jiu raised her eyelids calmly, curled her lips and forced a smile.But the pair of ebony chopsticks with silver chains were immediately heavy in his hands, as if they were extremely heavy.

A chopstick of wild shepherd's purse is of course not considered expensive, but it is valuable because Master Zeng personally gave him the chopsticks of shepherd's purse.Everyone looked at Shui Jiu in completely different eyes. From then on, the jokes during the banquet were jokes. When it came to Shui Jiu, everyone would be quiet for a moment in tacit understanding. They seemed to be very careful, but in fact they were concentrating on peeping at Shui Jiu's behavior. .

"People say that wine makes you happy." An alternate prison student in his thirties who was sitting at the head of Shui Jiu was wearing a single piece of citrine glasses. He raised his hand and knocked on the side of the bowl with chopsticks, coughing With a voice, a weird new wine order was made to make fun of it. "Let's make an order for "Happy" tonight, but there is one thing. When executing the order, everyone must say how to be happy, but the word "Huan" is not allowed throughout the article. If you violate the order, you will be punished. Punish three seas."

With a bang, a half-foot-deep sea bowl was stacked in the center of the wine table.

Everyone at the table laughed. "Brother Lin Yan, this bowl is really going to kill you!"

Master Zeng narrowed his eyes slightly, twirling the gray and white goatee under his jaw, noncommittal.

"My lord, what do you think?" The supervisor named Lin Yan turned to look at Master Zeng, and then pointed to a stack of sea bowls on the table. "We agreed in advance, but we can't catch the knife for you."

Master Zeng also narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly. "Lin Yan, you are going to be an orderly officer!"

"As the saying goes, drinking orders are like military orders. The students are shameless today and ask the boss and the brothers to ask for a drinking order. I don't know if it is possible?"

Lin Yan spoke in a smooth tone, so everyone at the banquet burst into laughter again.They said one after another: "It's just that, even brother Lin Yan, you think you're a bit thick-skinned."

Even Mr. Zeng, who was sitting next to Shui Jiu, laughed seriously this time, and his gray and white goatee flew away from the laughter.Master Zeng tossed the ebony chopsticks with silver chains, and said with a chuckle, "It's up to you!"

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Master Zeng glanced at Shui Jiu, saw Shui Jiu's gaze fell on the stack of sea bowls each half a foot deep, and added another sentence. "Peach Blossom Drunk is too strong, change to foreigner's wine!"

"Okay," Lin Yan said jokingly, "I know that my lord loves beauties, so I'll replace it with wine."

Lin Yan snapped his fingers, and immediately a waiter wearing a black bow tie came over, bent down and asked respectfully for orders.Lin Yan then said that he wanted to replace the most intense peach blossom drunk in northern Hebei with wine, and made it clear that he wanted the kind of wine made by foreigners.

Lin Yan paused, took a special look at Shui Jiu, and said with a smile, "Beauties are most beautiful when they are slightly drunk. If they are really drunk, it is not good."

Everyone's eyes fell on Shui Jiu for a moment, and there was an unsatisfactory expression on the lips and eyes.
