Chapter 406: The Influence of the Luoshui Goddess
Genius remembers 『→网.』 in one second, providing you with wonderful novel reading.
"Maybe it's because of the two cabbage buns just now that affected the taste..." Li Yi drank the not-so-good porridge in big mouthfuls, and said: "From the perspective of gastronomy, it's best not to eat anything messy before tasting delicious food..., this porridge is very good, if there is another plate of pickles or pickled cucumbers."
No participation means no right to speak. If this porridge is sold, it's okay. If you spend money, you can judge it. It's not a gentleman to eat and drink other people's porridge for free and complain that others' porridge is not delicious.
Although Li Yi's definition of himself is not a gentleman, in order to save the shaky friendship between him and Zeng Zuimo, he can only speak against his conscience.
If Miss Liu Er was sent by God to oppose him, making Li Yi feel that he owed her something in his previous life and needed to repay it in this life, then Li Yi extremely doubted what Zeng Zuimo did to him in his previous life, which led to his unintentional ruin of her every time.
Before the two of them met, because of his negligence, he made a big mistake in the portrait of her and Miss Liu Er. Later, when Li Xuan dragged her to Qun Yuyuan for the first time, she ruined her performance. Later, in order to avoid Miss Liu Er, he accidentally broke into her boudoir and saw everything he should and shouldn't see. In this way, she should owe him a lot in her previous life.
Of course, because of the last thing, he was actually a little guilty when facing Zeng Zuimo.
If a woman in this era was seen by a man, in order to preserve her chastity, she would either marry him, kill him, or commit suicide. Marrying him was of course impossible. Li Yi estimated that with her arrogant temperament, she would definitely look down on him, and at the same time, she was also concerned about his and her safety, so the probability of the first incident happening was zero.
And she neither wanted to die nor let him die. Not only did she keep silent about that incident, but she also helped him cover up the embarrassment in front of Miss Liu Er. A real man must avenge his grudges and repay his kindness, so there was the incident of sending poems to help her compete for the flower queen before leaving.
However, the whole story of this matter had just been told by Wan Ruoqing, and Li Yi could only bury his head in the porridge, not even bothering to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.
If Zeng Zuimo had not redeemed her before those poems were circulated, she might still be in the fire pit of Qun Yuyuan with her skyrocketing value, and she might not even think about getting out for the rest of her life. In other words, he almost caused a disaster again...
Li Yi secretly rejoiced in his heart that Zeng Zuimo had foresight. If she had redeemed her a little later, he would have had to give her his body and his only hundred pounds of flesh in his life, but he would have really not been able to repay his debt.
So, she didn't even think about competing for the courtesan at that time. He was just being sentimental. Not only did he fail to repay the favor, but he owed her a bigger one. She became the absolute goddess in the hearts of Qing'an Prefecture and even all those who heard those poems. She became a star of this era, a national goddess that countless people would spend a lot of money to see. From then on, she had constant troubles. She had to face countless bees and butterflies every day, and she didn't dare to go out without a mask and sunglasses...
Li Yi decided not to speak for the time being to avoid embarrassment. The white porridge in the bowl was soon finished, and he took the portion that originally belonged to Xiaozhu, trying to use eating as an excuse to shut himself up.
Zeng Zuimo's embarrassed expression on his face eased a little, thinking that this was Li Yi's way of apologizing.
"I'm back. It's too late today. Many porridge shops are sold out. I ran half a street to buy it." Xiaozhu came in from the door with a lunch box. Seeing Li Yi sitting at the table drinking porridge, and then looking at Zeng Zuimo sitting opposite, her face couldn't help but change.
However, when she learned that Li Yi had eaten up her portion, her smile brightened again, and she cast a grateful look at him. Finally, she had a good reason to drink the porridge she bought.
In order to resolve the awkwardness between the two, Wan Ruoqing glanced at Zeng Zuimo and said to Li Yi: "During this period, Zuimo has also helped us a lot. She helped to paint the curtains and backgrounds of some plays."
Zeng Zuimo's power is limited, and it is impossible for her to take care of the curtains and backgrounds of all theaters, but the novel and unique paintings have also attracted many customers for them.
Zeng Zuimo curled his lips and said: "This is not considered as helping me. It's just some useless paintings. Besides, I was paid for painting those things."
Wan Ruoqing smiled and said: "A painting of the goddess of Luoshui has been raised to hundreds of taels of silver outside, and there is still no market. We can't afford such a high reward."
Zeng Zuimo glanced at Li Yi. Speaking of it, her fame and improvement in painting skills are all thanks to him. However, although her paintings are very valuable now, it is only because they are rare. If they can be bought casually, what is the difference between them and those common goods on the street stalls?
Besides, she is not short of money at all, and she does not need to sell her hard work.
Li Yi is a little full now, but seeing Zeng Zuimo's look, he knows that the boat will not capsize this time. He immediately feels that the two bowls of porridge just now are the most meaningful two bowls of porridge he has ever eaten.
He came here in the morning to hand over the manuscripts of the first few chapters of "Journey to the West" to Wan Ruoqing, so that the storytellers can get familiar with it first, and they can start the official serialization tomorrow. At the same time, he has not been to the theater for a long time, and he plans to see what the theater looks like now.
"I'll take you there." The nearest theater was only a few dozen steps away. Li Yi and Wan Ruoqing walked out of the door and happened to meet a group of people coming towards them from the front.
Seeing those people, Zeng Zuimo, who was walking at the back, changed his face. When he was about to retreat, it was too late.
"Miss Zuimo, what a coincidence!"
A young man in the lead immediately came forward and said with a smile on his face.
"This is the goddess of Luoshui. It is true that seeing is better than hearing."
"She is indeed a peerless beauty..."
"Miss Zuimo, I am hosting a banquet in Chenxiang Tower today. I wonder if you can do me a favor..."
------
------
Most of these people were young men. After one of them took the lead, everyone came forward one after another, talking politely and attentively.
Some of them had seen Zeng Zuimo countless times, and had been courteous to him many times but had not been taken seriously. Some came here purely because they admired his reputation. They thought that although this goddess of Luoshui was extremely beautiful, she did not seem to be as exaggerated as described in poems and essays. She was not much better than this year's champion Lu Qiaoqiao, and was even on par with the woman next to her. But since she was so famous and almost everyone in Qing'an Prefecture knew her, there must be a reason. Thinking this way, it aroused their curiosity even more.
Li Yi was also stunned by this sudden scene.
It was one thing to hear Wan Ruoqing say it, and it was another to see Zeng Zuimo's suitors with their own eyes. Who would have thought that in ancient times there were fans who came to block their idols?
Seeing that young man, who looks like a man of talent and seems to be well-read, he actually gave such a lame excuse as "What a coincidence". The brainless fans really lower their IQ...
As for the one who hosted the banquet in Chenxianglou------how could he invite his idol to dinner so casually? He should have at least paid thousands or tens of thousands of taels of silver to show his sincerity...
Seeing this scene, an idea suddenly emerged in Li Yi's mind.
If Zeng Zuimo's influence could be spread to the capital, then a big billboard would be erected at the door of every perfume shop, with a picture of Zeng Zuimo holding perfume in his hand on the billboard, which must be three-dimensional, and finally add a slogan "xx perfume, Miss Zuimo said it's good after using it..."
In this way, not only women can't refuse it, but it will also attract a large number of male customers------then the business will be booming! Mobile users please visit m.Reading for a better reading experience.
