Chapter 111 Cooperation
After Luo Zhaoyun greeted Ning Muhe, he got on the carriage and followed Xiuying to Xiao Yiyi's mansion.
Along the way, Xiuying kept staring at him with big eyes, and Luo Zhaoyun smiled and said, "Why do you have such a look?"
Xiuying exclaimed: "Young Master Luo, I didn't expect that you were young and still a teenager, but you have such literary talent. The competition for the Double Ninth Festival depends entirely on you. You made music and lyrics for my little lady, gave me some advice, and made novel suggestions. This is how our wonderful voice shines brightly and takes the lead!"
"Haha, it's mainly because Miss Xiao is extremely talented. I just mentioned an introduction, throwing bricks and attracting jade. If Miss Xiao does not have perfect changes and designs, relying on my lyrics alone will not help anything."
Seeing that he seemed to be unsuccessful, Xiuying admired him even more with a humble look.
Logically speaking, she is just a maid. Many times, some scholars and scholars don’t bother to say anything to her. The tone of this young man Luo Cheng speaks to her is approachable, and he is not as arrogant as a scholar. He looks noble and feels very comfortable to get along with him.
"Hehe, I finally know why my little lady valued you so much and was willing to take you into her boudoir..." Xiuying covered her mouth and smiled.
Luo Zhaoyun did not ask. In fact, he guessed that Xiao Yiyi's thoughts were false if he had no intention of being a man and a woman, but it was definitely not about being in love. There was still a great emotional distance between them. After all, he was only fourteen years old, three years younger than Xiao Yiyi.
Moreover, Xiao Yiyi's identity is definitely not as simple as it seems. Luo Zhaoyun's future is uncertain. He didn't expect to embrace the beauty now. There may be too many variables between him and Xiao Yiyi, so he regards the other party as a confidante, just love, and only polite.
When I was familiar with the journey, I came to Lanqing Xiaozhu. Luo Zhaoyun was taken directly to the West Chamber by Xiuying, where the girl Ji and the servants were blocked. There were only three people on the entire building, Xiao Yiyi, Luo Zhaoyun and Xiuying.
"Young Master Luo, I finally invited you." Xiao Yiyi was wearing a long dress with a moon-white light-decorated bamboo and plum pattern, spotless. Her long hair was only loosely wrapped with a green ribbon. She had no pearls and jade on her body, but she returned to the simplicity, just like being leisurely in the boudoir.
"Luo has also been worried about Miss Xiao for a long time. It is a blessing for me to meet you today."
Xiao Yiyi smiled and said, "When did Mr. Luo get angry when he spoke so much?"
"Did I not have the aura of a scholar when I met the last two times?" Luo Zhaoyun was stunned for a moment and asked back.
Xiao Yiyi shook her head and said, "Young master, a man's masculinity is more powerful, which often covers up your bookish spirit. Who made you practice martial arts hard and be so brave on the battlefield again!"
Luo Zhaoyun wanted to say that I was not only as brave as I was on the battlefield, but the same was true in other places!
At this time, Xiuying had prepared the wine and food on the table. Xiao Yiyi nodded and asked her to take back first, and sat on the cushion with Luo Zhaoyun alone.
"Miss Xiao won the top spot after winning the last time. Has she realized her original intention?"
"Alas, although I was really excited at that time, I was even very happy for several days. After all, winning in front of so many Chinese people in Chang'an City was a great influence. However, there were too many troubles afterwards, and the crowded families and socializing constantly, I couldn't help myself. The scenery in front of others was so strong that I laughed, and I felt upset."
"Haha, you are not lucky because you are in a blessing. Other famous poets, Qingyue and Fengchan, may even envy you for not having time."
Xiao Yiyi covered her mouth and said, "This is probably because they all hold grudges and will definitely not accept it. She has sent many people to inquire about it in private. It was a lyricist written by a talented man for me. For this, I would like to thank you very much. Come and have made this cup."
Luo Zhaoyun was not artificial and drank directly with her. Although he was only fourteen years old, his appearance was close to that of a young man, especially his eyes, deep and wise, and he did not look like the expression a young man should have.
"Are you really only fourteen?"
"Oh, don't it look like it?"
Xiao Yiyi said bluntly: "Don't look like, I think you should be older than me!"
Luo Zhaoyun smiled faintly: "Maybe, it is possible that my family remembered the date of birth wrongly. Maybe I am really seventeen! I feel that the places I should grow up and mature are already mature."
Xiao Yiyi blushed when she heard this. She had heard a lot of these half-meat and half-vegetarian words, but now, after all, drinking one-on-one, the two of them are not in love, so after listening to it, she felt a little embarrassed to drink.
"Actually, it doesn't matter how old you are, how old you are or how old you are. Now the court is at its peak. With your talent, I believe that in the future, I will definitely soar in the Great Sui Dynasty and become a vital official!"
Luo Zhaoyun was not very interested in these things, and laughed and said, "I don't care much about the career path, let it go."
His answer surprised Xiao Yiyi. If it were an ordinary scholar, he would have shown off his ideals in front of her, how to guide the country and make achievements, but unexpectedly, Luo Cheng was indifferent, which would have aroused her even more.
For some reason, Xiao Yiyi had a strange feeling. Luo Cheng seemed to be different from ordinary people in every word and action, and this was also what attracted her.
"By the way, I have one thing, I'll ask Miss Xiao for help!" Luo Zhaoyun said.
When Xiao Yiyi heard this, she was curious and wondered what could I ask for?
"I wonder what happened to Mr. Luo? But it's okay to say it. Yiyi can do it within her ability."
Luo Zhaoyun explained: "That's right. Seeing Xinghuafang busy and lively, many brothels earn hundreds of gold every day, I was very envious. I also planned to open a restaurant and be the boss behind the scenes. The location was chosen in Xinghuafang, which mainly focused on newly brewed liquor, stage opera and dishes. I wonder if I can get the guidance and assistance of Miss Yiyi?"
"You want to open a restaurant? Are you not an official?"
"That's not. One is that I think it's fun and do something. The other is that one day, if I abandon my official position, I still have a living, so I won't starve to death."
"It seems you are coming to compete for business with us!" Xiao Yiyi laughed.
Luo Zhaoyun said: "How dare I? I'm just a small business, it's a combination of a restaurant and an inn. I can also cooperate with Miaoyin in some aspects."
Xiao Yiyi thought for a moment and said, "This is not difficult, but do you have enough funds? When operating, many things require gold and silver to be used as a syllabus."
Luo Zhaoyun replied: "I have some savings, so I should be able to do it. I just need you to help me with some ideas in terms of singing girls training and cuisine!"
Xiao Yiyi's eyes flashed and she smiled and said, "This is not difficult, but I have to invest a little bit of money to achieve it."
Luo Zhaoyun was silent for a moment and nodded. This restaurant belonged to him in name only to open an operation template to try the waters. It was also the place where he made friends with others. It was different from the restaurant of the Ning Chamber of Commerce that he secretly manipulated, so he was not afraid that Xiao Yiyi would invest in any share.
