Chapter 17 Chu Yuer
This is a tavern with a relatively low-key appearance, but in fact it has a lot of cliché inside.
There are expensive carpets under your feet, and beautiful sculptures on both sides of the entrance. Going forward, you can see a circular patio that illuminates the entire hall during the day and stars at night.
There are three floors of rooms arranged around the patio. Directly below the patio, there is a small square pond made of gray stone bricks, with several fat goldfish swaying downstream of the lotus leaves.
Just the outside store door, I can't imagine that there would be such a large space inside.
"I thought you wouldn't come."
Liu Jie walked to Zhao Xuan's right hand, with a slightly coquettish tone.
Luo Qiuting responded: "You are so beautiful that you don't even give us money, how could you not come?"
Zhao Xuan looked at her and probably understood.
Although Luo Qiuting likes women, she is not interested in her wife. She only likes pure and young girls. In addition, she also hates pretentious women very much. Of course, if it is a girl she likes to twist, it is not artificial, but cute in her eyes.
Old double standards.
"She's not very smart, don't care."
The money has not been obtained yet, and after all, he is his own rich woman candidate, so Zhao Xuan doesn't want to get into evil with her.
After saying that, he was afraid that Luo Qiuting would be angry, so he added: "Of course, my brain is not very good."
Liu Jie smiled and didn't take it seriously: "You are so interesting."
“By the way.”
She seemed to remember something and said, "The title of Master Hu cannot be used anymore. I wonder what I should call you next, Master Zhao?"
"No, no, just call me Xiao Zhao."
The other party is old enough to be his mother, and Zhao Xuan doesn't like the title of master, so he always feels like a liar in the world.
Liu Jie was not confused about this issue and said with a smile: "Then I will teach you Xiao Zhao in private, but outside, I will still call you Mr. Zhao."
This seems to be fine on the surface, but in fact it has great skills.
When Liu Jie was young, she was also a beauty in the world. She came from an ordinary family and married into a wealthy family at a young age. She was very familiar with men's thoughts. Although she is in her forties, her charm remains unchanged from the past. It is not too easy to win the favor of a young man.
Zhao Xuan did not feel any emotion in his heart about this kind of teasing, but he just regretted what he said yesterday.
However, the sustained effect should be only one day today, and there should be no rich woman inexplicably affection for him.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to eat soft rice, but he still thinks a little bit, but he doesn’t feel at ease with such a fragrant soft rice.
The three of them came to a private room on the second floor.
There were several people sitting in the private room.
Zhao Xuan, the girl with a weak face near her, knew Liu Jie's eldest daughter. The girl with short hair sitting next to her should be her second daughter, Yu Xin's classmate.
In addition, there was a woman in her cold temperament, about 20 years old, wearing a plain white skirt, long black hair tied behind her head. Next to the woman was a little girl with four or five years old, wearing a ponytail, wearing a fluffy princess dress, and her face was chubby, making people want to pinch her.
Liu Jie introduced each other to them, and Zhao Xuan then realized that the full names of her two daughters were Zheng Wenruo and Zheng Shuangshuang, and the woman she didn't know was named Chu Mingfang. The little girl beside her was her daughter, named Chu Yuer.
Chu Mingfang is the sister of Liu Jie's deceased husband, and her sister-in-law. After hearing the news that Wen Ruo Su Xing, he came to visit him. He didn't plan to have dinner with them, but Chu Yu'er kept making trouble and stayed.
Zhao Xuan also noticed that Chu Mingfang was lukewarm towards Liu Jie, and she didn't seem to like this sister-in-law, but she was full of elder care for the Wen Ruo sisters.
As soon as I entered the door, the little girl named Chu Yuer stared at her stupidly, very cute.
As soon as she sat down, Zhao Xuan felt that the atmosphere in the room was not very good. Chu Mingfang only talked to her daughter and the Wen Ruo sisters, but the others ignored it. Only Liu Jie was energizing the atmosphere, talking nonstop, and turning the topic to Chu Mingfang from time to time, forcing her to answer a sentence or two, and the smell of gunpowder gradually spread in the air.
Luo Qiuting turned a blind eye to the atmosphere around him, and he leaned over to the Zheng Wenruo and his sisters. After a few words, he could have a happy chat with them. He hugged them from time to time, held their shoulders, and took advantage of them.
Zhao Xuan was envious of seeing it and wanted to join in, but he could only think about it.
Because of Liu Jie's enthusiasm for him and Chu Mingfang's annoyed by harassment, he began to point the finger at him, so he began to sarcastically and implicitly mock him, which basically means that he is not good at doing something at a young age and learns from those fake masters to deceive people.
Zhao Xuan was immediately feeling in a state of trouble and had no intention of looking forward to the next meal. He just wanted to get the money and ran away.
At this moment, the little girl named Chu Yuer suddenly climbed off the stool and told her mother that she wanted to go out for a walk.
"Then I'll take you there."
Chu Mingfang didn't want to stay here at first, so she had a reason to go out.
Unexpectedly, my daughter didn't want her to accompany her: "I want that big brother to accompany me."
Chu Yuer pointed at Zhao Xuan.
"I?"
Zhao Xuan was a little surprised.
"Brother is very tired. Let's let him rest. Can I accompany you?"
"No! I want him!"
After Chu Yuer said that, she pursed her lips and stood there without saying a word, with her expression as if she was about to cry.
"Okay, okay, listen to you, let the elder brother accompany you."
Chu Mingfang was immediately defeated in front of her daughter.
"Then I'll trouble Mr. Zhao."
Chu Mingfang came over and even though he hated him, he didn't show any sign of it on his face.
Zhao Xuan didn't want to take care of the children at all. He still remembered how much Yu Xin deserved to be beaten when she was a child. Moreover, this girl seemed to be used to being doting and developed into a domineering little princess character, which would definitely be difficult to serve.
However, rejecting at this time will obviously make the already awkward situation even more uncontrollable, so he can only agree.
The little girl took the initiative to hold his hand and went out with him.
"Where do you want to go?"
Zhao Xuan tried his best to make his voice gentler.
"Let's go outside."
The little girl raised her head and smiled innocently.
"Ah, what is this?"
She stood on tiptoe and pulled out a black thing from Zhao Xuan's pocket.
This is the crow feather that Zhao Xuan picked up at the gate. Because he was not looking at the trash can, he temporarily put it in his pocket.
"Guess?" Zhao Xuan tried to tease her.
Unexpectedly, the little girl seemed to suddenly lose interest and grabbed her feather and never continued to ask.
She walked in front and Zhao Xuan followed behind, responsible for watching her and preventing her from encountering any dangers.
The two walked out of the gate and walked deeper into the street.
Zhao Xuan looked at the girl's ponytail and felt a little strange in his heart.
Soon, they came to a small alley. Just as Xia Ren was about to pass by, a white shadow suddenly broke out from the dark alley.
"It's considered to be accused of you, hum, let's see where you are running this time!"
The female ghost put her hands on her hips, raised her head, and floated in front of the two of them with full spirit.
It was the one who possessed Zheng Wenruo in the morning.
Zhao Xuan's pupils shrank slightly, but he didn't expect to meet the other person here.
You can beat it down, but Chu Yu'er is by your side, so it will be bad if you hurt the little girl.
Zhao Xuan was about to pick up Chu Yu'er and run first, and went back to call Luo Qiuting, but saw Chu Yu'er actually took a step forward, then turned around and faced him with the female ghost.
The female ghost squatted beside her, pointed at Zhao Xuan, complained, "Master, he beat me during the day!"
