No. 8 Pawnshop - Chapter 76
When the time of stay was almost up, Ye Li finally knew who Zhu Yuxi was, Zhu, and the surname of the dynasty. And Zhu Yuyu is the eldest daughter of the current emperor, titled Princess Changping, who just turned five years old this year.
Followed by many palace eunuchs.
However, no matter how sensible children are, there are times when they are lively at their young age. If the little princess is interested in playing hide-and-seek, the other palace servants can only count with their eyes closed, and only start looking when they count.
When I saw her, I didn’t rude, and didn’t say who I was.
Changping’s face tensed, with a hint of restraint, “This palace is Princess Changping, who are you, and why have I never seen you?”
Ye Li smiled and said, “You haven’t seen me, that’s because I only came to the palace today, you are the first person to see me.”
Ping Ling Ling took two steps back, but she did not want to lose her princess dignity in front of strangers. Her mother taught her that she was the honorable princess of the Ming Dynasty.
“The entry and exit of the palace are recorded, and the guards are even more strict. How could no one have seen you?”
“Say, who are you?”
Ye Li smiled deeper and said softly, “I, I am the one who came to fulfill your wish.”
Ye Li’s smile did not change, “Since the princess said that, I have nothing to say. I am here. If the princess suddenly has a wish, you can come here to find me.”
In a blink of an eye, Changping realized that the person was gone, and the anxious voice of the palace servant came from behind, “Princess, where are you, princess?”
When the palace eunuchs found Princess Changping, she was still stunned, feeling a little lost for some reason.
Changping did not tell the palace staff, nor did he tell his mother and father, there has always been no talk in this palace. A young woman with an identity suddenly appeared in the deep palace. If she said this, she didn’t know how many ghosts and ghosts she would attract. She only regarded this as a little secret of hers and hid it in her heart.
How can the most favored princess in the Ming Dynasty have no troubles, even the emperor who is high above has endless troubles, how can Changping not have it, she respects and loves her father, then her father Her troubles are her troubles.
Changping hid behind the curtain and heard her father angrily scolding the mediocre and incompetent people in the court. Disputes are endless, and there is no conclusion so far.
Da Ming, at the end of the road, Changping realized this fact for the first time. There was not much left, and even her mother had to reduce the expenses in the palace to solve the worries for her father.
Chang Ping looked at the white hair that grew under the crown of his father, and his heart was sour. For the first time, he screened the palace servants around him, ran to the place, grabbed the corner of the red skirt, and went out. “Didn’t you say that my wish will come true? Where are you? Come out soon, okay?”
“Why, little princess, you are finally here.”
Ye Li appeared behind her, and on the last day, she finally came.
Changping turned around and saw that she immediately grabbed the corner of Ye Li’s clothes, her eyes were full of longing, and a hint of imperceptible begging, “You said that my wish will come true. .”
Changping nodded, “I want to share my worries for my father.”
Ye Li smiled and said, “Yes, I will give you the ability to settle down the country and make your father and emperor proud of you.”
The little princess couldn’t help showing joy on her face, but heard Ye Li say again, “However, I want your love.”
“Love?” Chang Ping was a little ignorant, but he agreed without hesitation. She is the princess of Daming, and her marriage was decided after her parents were free, and it had nothing to do with love.
Ye Li introduced Changping to the No. 8 pawnshop, and then watched her write down her name in the agreement. Although Changping was young, her handwriting had already begun to show its strength. Ye Li waved her hand gently in front of the long plane, and she fell into an illusion.
She will become a princess who will make her father and the entire Ming Dynasty proud in the future, but no matter how smart she is, she will still be futile in the face of the general trend. I tried my best and tried my best, but I couldn’t do anything.
——
In the ‘Dawn’ bar, Ye Li was entertaining a guest, Qiao Mu. She didn’t speak, she was just mixing drinks quietly, making a margarita that Qiao Mu wanted.
Qiao Mu took over and looked at the cocktail curiously. She had never had a cocktail before, and the reason why she ordered it was for the well-known love story represented by Margaret.
“This is the 1949 American Cocktail Contest winner by Los Angeles bartender Jean Durasa, who named it in honor of his late lover Margaret.”
Ye Li stood behind the bar, with a light tone and a smile, “Tequila, the national drink of Mexico, is used as the base wine of the cocktail, the sourness of lemon juice represents the sourness of the heart, and the salt Frost means nostalgic tears.”
As a bartender, Ye Li is also familiar with these stories.
“It’s a touching love story, wine made of love and tears.” Qiao Mu sighed, tasting this glass of wine was like tasting the pain of the lover’s departure, the corners of her eyes were slightly moist, I don’t know if I was stimulated by drinking this kind of wine for the first time, or, listening to other people’s stories, I shed my own tears.
Once people drink alcohol, they like to confide in their hearts. Some things that cannot be said when they are sober can be said at this time. That’s why Ye Li opened a bar and learned to be a bartender.
Qiao Mu’s story is very simple, she, Pei Zheng, Yin Qianqian are friends who grew up together in the family compound, and at the same time, she and Yin Qianqian also fell in love with Pei just. Pei Zheng is very good. He stands out among his peers. Yin Qianqian is not bad. He is beautiful, charming, and educated. He is the goddess in many people’s hearts. Compared with them, Qiao Mu is much more bleak. The reason why the three of them play together is because the fathers of the three are common comrades-in-arms, and the circle of the three of them is much closer than the others.
Qiao Mu always thought that Pei Zheng and Yin Qianqian would be together, and others thought the same, they seemed to be so compatible, some people made fun of them, but people like Pei Zheng, no one Dare to joke in front of him, but Yin Qianqian also pulled Qiao Mu to his side and said with a smile, “Mu Mu hasn’t found a boyfriend yet, so I don’t want to leave her alone.”
Everything changed on the day she graduated from college. Qiao Mu’s father died in a car accident, and Pei Zheng’s father took out a piece of paper after helping Qiao Mu with the funeral, which read Pei Zheng and Qiao Mu’s baby kiss, there is a handprint pressed by the father of the two. Qiao Mu’s mother died of dystocia when she gave birth to her, and now there is no one in her family. Pei Zheng’s father solemnly asked Pei Zheng and Qiao Mu to get engaged and get married two years later.
Pei Zheng agreed, and at the engagement ceremony a month later, Qiao Mu became Pei Zheng’s fiancee.
Qiao Mu feels like she has stolen Yin Qianqian’s happiness, although Yin Qianqian still smiles at her and never mentions that she likes Pei Zheng again, but Qiao Mu feels that It was very sad, and she knew all the discussions behind the people around her. It was nothing more than a man who was not worthy of Pei Zheng and robbed her of a good friend. In this case, she didn’t even have the courage to refute them. Instead, Yin Qian had changed her mind and scolded them softly, and she never heard of such words again.
Yin Qianqian is a good girl, although she looks gentle and weak since she was a child, she will protect Qiao Mu, who is younger than her, behind her. And Qiao Mu looked careless, but she was actually a very cowardly child, just like now, she felt sorry for Qianqian, but she couldn’t say anything about canceling the engagement, because she liked Pei Zheng, liked it very much, and liked it since she was a child on him,
Qiao Mu also felt really despicable.
She told Ye Li that she really wanted to do well and be a fiancee worthy of Pei Zheng, but she always made things worse and ruined the relationship between the three of them more embarrassing.
Pei Zheng rarely smiles. Like his military father, he is silent and reserved, never showing his thoughts on his face, and Yin Qianqian, she can always laugh. By the way, she forgot to tell Ye Li that Yin Qianqian was still a big star and belonged to Huayao Company. Her mother worked behind the scenes in the entertainment industry, so she naturally brought her into the entertainment industry.
In Qiao Mu’s heart, Yin Qianqian is a girl born to live in the spotlight.
And Qiao Mu, always can’t do anything well, ask them to help, ask them to protect the little sister. She couldn’t hide her thoughts, and she couldn’t smile to make the atmosphere harmonious. She felt that every day was very difficult.
Ye Li can always be the best and quietest listener. She makes Qiao Mu feel at peace and can express her heart to heart. Relatives, other than that, the two closest people are Yin Qianqian and Pei Zheng.
But what can she say to them? Said to return Pei Zheng to Yin Qianqian, or asked whether Pei Zheng ever loved her.
