Lanke Chess Edge

Wang Li was wearing a gray long gown and walked staggeringly on the cold streets of the city, because it didn't take long for the day to light up, and there were very few pedestrians.

​​

"Hi... ho..."

​​

Wang Li felt a chill in the early morning wind, and he shivered.

​​

It was hot at the beginning of being drunk, but it didn't take long afterward to feel cold, especially on the street in the early morning after the rain in spring.

​​

Shaking the jug in his hand, there was no more wine in it, and Wang Li threw it casually.

​​

The jug crossed a parabola and made contact with the street not far away.

​​

"Clap..."

​​

After the crisp sound, the jug completely shattered, and Wang Li continued to shake away.

​​

Ji Yuan looked down at the broken pottery **** that fell at his feet, and then looked at Wang Li, who was swaying away, and couldn't help frowning. This person's current situation is a little different from what he imagined.

​​

"Wan'er... Wan'er..."

​​

Wang Li murmured, tightened his clothes and walked to his residence. He is no longer in the capital now, but is in the Chengsu Mansion City, east of the capital section of the Tongtian River, which belongs to the territory of Youzhou.

​​

Just like every time Wang Li went to a new place, the place he lived in was a private residence, and he rented one of the side rooms with the owner's family. It was far more cost-effective to live in a long-term than an inn or the like.

​​

"Ah...ho...yo, Mr. Wang, did you just come back?"

​​

The man of the house just came out of the house with a stretched waist, and when he saw Wang Li who was shaking a little, he said hello.

​​

"Hehe, morning..."

​​

Wang Li swayed and cupped his hands crookedly, walked to his side room, pushed open the door and stumbled, grabbed the doorknob and fell in, because he was holding the doorknob so tightly that he didn't fall into a big somersault. .

​​

"Hey, Mr. Wang, how much alcohol did you drink!"

​​

The male master hurried over to help him, and helped Wang Li down on the bed.

​​

"Thank you, thank you..."

​​

Wang Li fell on the bed and cupped his hands in a dazed way, then pulled half the quilt over himself, and snored after a while.

​​

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk..."

​​

The male host shook his head, exited the room and closed the door.

​​

The hostess in the main house at the back also dressed and came out. When she saw the male host, she came out of the side room and asked in a low voice.

​​

"Drinking too much again?"

​​

"Well... I drank a lot and fell asleep."

​​

"Mr. Wang Da was such a good man when he came, and he is like this all the time now."

​​

"We don't care, as long as he pays the rent."

​​

The two went back to wash up in private.

​​

It was not until the sun slanted westward that Wang Li, who was lying on the bed, woke up from sleep. He rubbed his temples and sat up from the bed.

​​

Wang Li's face was pale, he lifted the quilt and got off the bed, opened the door, the afterglow of the setting sun pierced his eyes, and the smoke from the kitchen beside him was already rising.

​​

"Mr. Wang, are you awake?"

​​

The hostess, who was drying clothes, saw Wang Li coming out, and greeted him with a smile.

​​

"Sister Liu, what time is it now?"

​​

"We didn't even look at the watch, but I guess it's almost 90 o'clock. It's just in time for you to get up. There's some fish to eat today..."

​​

"It's time? I have to leave quickly..."

​​

When Wang Li heard the time, he quickly patted his face, then went back to the house to pack his things, paper fans, wake wood, books...all packed in a bag, and then hurried out again with the bag.

​​

"Hey... Mr. Wang, are you not eating anymore?"

​​

"Don't eat, don't eat, I'm rushing!"

​​

Wang Li hurriedly left the yard and rushed out. Today, he is going to a big restaurant to tell a story. A big family has packed the restaurant for a banquet, and invited guests to congratulate the family's child, Chunwei, who is famous and qualified to be an official.

​​

It’s already 90 o’clock. Maybe there will be a banquet in the restaurant. If Wang Li, the storyteller, is not there after the banquet, it will definitely be a violation of the agreement. The deposit has already been spent.

​​

There were already people coming and going on the street. Wang Li was in a hurry. He didn't care to wipe his sweat and kept trotting forward. When he hurried to the outside of Zhongtai Building on a bustling street, he was already out of breath.

​​

"Ho...ho...ho...ho..."

​​

Outside the congregation's Thai building, someone was welcoming the guests, and all the respectable people, old and young, were walking towards the building, all of whom had already handed over before they got outside the building.

​​

"Master Gao, congratulations!" "Young Master Gao is very promising!"

​​

"Hahahaha... Happy, happy, please come in!"

​​

"Mr. Gao is very fortunate, to make Lang Jinbang inscribe on the list, and we will be separated from us as officials and people in the future!"

​​

"Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

​​

"Master Gao, Young Master Gao, you have to take care of us in the future!"

​​

"Hahaha, you master Wang, if you want to be a douchebag, isn't my Gao family a market hawker? Hahaha... Come in!" "Uncle Wang is very polite!"

​​

"Hahahahaha..."

​​

……

​​

Gao's family greeted the guests with smiles like flowers, and they were not too tired to keep bowing their hands in return, which seemed to be even more than the joy of the newlyweds.

​​

Wang Li was breathing heavily against the wall not far away. Seeing the situation, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that the banquet had not yet started.

​​

After calming his breath for a while, Wang Li looked up and down, tidied up his clothes, wiped the sweat on his face and neck with the bag behind him, and then resumed his gentle pace and walked towards Zhongtai Building.

​​

Before he got close, Wang Li handed over Hershey with a smile.

​​

"Master Gao, Young Master Gao, congratulations, congratulations, Wang is not late, right?"

​​

Master Gao is a very spirited old man in brocade clothes, and Young Master Gao is also tall and decent, and the two of them politely returned their gifts.

​​

"Mr. Wang came at just the right time. The banquet has not yet started. I have already ordered to open the stove for you to eat in advance. After entering, someone will entertain you!"

​​

"Okay, thank you Master Gao!"

​​

Wang Li hurriedly entered the Zhongtai Building after handing over his hands again. He was really hungry and thirsty at this moment, and Master Gao's preparations were exactly what he wanted.

​​

As a storyteller, he wanted to bring joy to the guests at the banquet. Others could listen while eating. It was impossible for Wang Li to talk while eating. Considering that storytelling was also a manual job, he naturally had to eat in advance.

​​

After entering the restaurant, a servant took Wang Li to a private room on the second floor. There was a large table of dishes ready, but not only Wang Li was eating, but also some women with chords and chords. They had already used chopsticks. , obviously Wang Li came a little later.

​​

"Mr. Wang, please eat here."

​​

"Okay, thank you."

​​

The little servant didn't say anything else and left to do his own business.

​​

Wang Li greeted everyone in the room a little embarrassedly, and then he sat down and started eating. Because he was hungry and thirsty, he naturally ate and drank as much as he could, and the few female relatives around him laughed lightly.

​​

After a while, the number of guests gathered towards the Zhongtai Building gradually decreased. Because of laughing for a long time, Mr. Wang, whose cheek muscles started to sore, also planned to enter the restaurant, while Mr. Wang went in earlier.

​​

"Master Gao, congratulations, congratulations, congratulations on the title of Linglang's golden list!"

​​

A calm but powerful voice sounded in the right tone of the word, making it ready to go in and turned around. Master Gao and the servants around him subconsciously turned around and found a gentleman in a blue shirt standing outside, except for a piece of ink on his head. The hosta does not have any accessories such as jade pendants on her body. It looks simple but has a great bearing.

​​

"Uh... who is Mr.?"

​​

Master Gao asked suspiciously in return.

​​

"Oh, I wanted to come to Zhongtai Building for a meal, but when I saw that the Gao family had booked a restaurant to celebrate Gao Gongzi Jinbang High School, I congratulated me too, congratulations!"

​​

Ji Yuan pointed to the red card leaning outside the building. It said that the restaurant was wrapped up by the Gao family to welcome guests to Gao's Young Master High School the next day, and apologized to the other guests who had to come back another day.

​​

Master Gao suddenly bowed his hands in return.

​​

"Oh, thank you Mr. Hershey!"

​​

Ji Yuan nodded, put down his hand and waved his sleeves, then turned around and walked towards other restaurants and bars on the street.

​​

"Hey, sir, please stay! If you don't dislike it, please go upstairs to the banquet together."

​​

When Mr. Gao saw Mr. Ji's extraordinary manner, he couldn't help but greeted him. It was just a meal.

​​

Ji Yuan turned around, pretended to think for a moment, then smiled and thanked him again.

​​

"Ji came to Baofang for the first time and heard that Zhongtailou's dishes are delicious. In that case, thank you Master Gao!"

​​

"You're welcome, sir, please!"

​​

Master Gao greeted Ji Yuan and entered the building together.

​​

Because I didn't know Ji Fate before, although it's very pleasant to meet such a splendid gentleman to congratulate him, it is destined to be impossible to arrange a place that is too lively, so it is arranged on the second floor slightly outside.

​​

Ji Yuan doesn't matter, and there is no right to dislike it. The people at this table are obviously not familiar with each other. After chatting for a while, as the hot and fragrant dishes came up, everyone seemed to be in harmony.

​​

"Everyone, my Gao family's literary stars are high, and my fortune is prosperous. I am even fortunate to have invited a storyteller who was once famous in the capital. Now I have asked Mr. Wang Liwang to tell us a book to add to the fun of the banquet!"

​​

"Ah, that's great!" "A famous person in the capital?"

​​

"Tell me a story we haven't heard before."

​​

"exactly!"

​​

"Wang Li? I really want to hear this name in the capital~www.NovelMTL.com~ It is said that he can do ventriloquism, which is very impressive!"

​​

"Really?" "That's fake!"

​​

……

​​

Ji Yuan could hear the words of the guests in the building full of anticipation, and someone in front of him carried a table to the open space in the center of the building. The front and rear half circles hug the table.

​​

On the other hand, Wang Li, holding a white paper fan, slowly came out of the private room, which was used as a preparation room, and walked behind the screen. There were also some women holding the lute and the qin, and also came to the side to prepare.

​​

"My guests, today the Gao family is happy. Mr. Wang brings you a new book that you have never heard of before. This book can be quite magical, and it was taught by the gods in a dream.

​​

Wang Li's opening remarks immediately raised everyone's interest to a new level. Even Ji Yuan put down his chopsticks with great interest. He also wanted to hear Wang Li's finished story.
