"Where's your Patriarch?" Liu Ke asked the maid next to him.
"The master is changing clothes." The maid replied softly.
Liu Ke sat down straight away, forgetting about etiquette.
A quarter of an hour later, in the attic, between the curtains, people were dancing, and the melodious sound of the piano sounded.
The Patriarch of the Qiao family actually likes such a mood?
That being the case, there is no need for Liu Ke to be polite. He drank some wine and tasted side dishes.
Xu Chu was sitting on the ground outside the door, and someone served him food and wine alone, but the chopsticks didn't even move.
This is the responsibility of being a bodyguard.
At the end of the song, Liu Ke clapped his hands in recognition of the sound of the piano.
A masked woman came out with lotus steps, only seventeen or eighteen years old, raised her skirt and saluted, "Greetings Dongyanghou!"
Dongyanghou is indeed a man of talent.
"May I ask the girl's name?" Liu Ke asked.
The woman's eyes were bright, and she said with a smile: "Before that, can the Marquis of Dongyang answer the little girl's question, how is your piano skill just now?"
"It's beautiful." Liu Ke complimented.
"It seems that Marquis Dongyang is not satisfied, otherwise he wouldn't be so perfunctory." The woman said in frustration, all the flowers were dark.
"Since you don't have to show your true face, I can naturally speak with a mask on." Liu Ke said.
The woman was dumb, and said: "The little girl's name is Qiao and her name is Ying."
"The oiran here?" Liu Ke laughed.
Qiao Ying's face turned pale, and she said softly, "Since the Marquis of Dongyang has already guessed the identity of the little girl, isn't this question superfluous?"
Liu Ke was embarrassed.
This woman's surname is Qiao, and she came to the appointment again, so Liu Ke would naturally get in touch with her, but she still couldn't believe that the Patriarch of the Qiao family turned out to be a woman.
"Just kidding."
It's fine if Liu Ke didn't explain, but Qiao Ying became even more angry with this explanation.
"Dongyang Hou's joke, please forgive me for not being able to understand the little girl."
"I don't understand that you don't want to show up and wear a veil, but I didn't ask you to take it off." Liu Ke said, "It doesn't matter if you understand or not, after this meal, we will break up."
"Sure enough, Dongyang Hou is as narrow-minded as the rumors." Qiao Ying said, her eyebrows trembling as she spoke, very cute.
"How do you say that?" Liu Ke asked.
"Isn't it just because one of my shopkeepers offended you that the credit rating of our Qiao family was directly downgraded by one level? How is it fair?" Qiao Ying said.
"Are you bullying me to talk? Is it my fault that the discipline is not strict?" Liu Ke asked back.
"There were no casualties, so why bother Dongyanghou? The Qiao family is willing to deal with the shopkeeper who committed the crime and apologize to the people. Please forgive Dongyanghou!" Qiao Ying said.
"I don't know where your confidence comes from. Has the shopkeeper dealt with it? Has anyone found someone who should accept your apology? You didn't do anything, and you weren't sincere." Liu Ke said.
"I'll arrange it immediately!" Qiao Ying said.
"Enough! Things have happened, don't you think it's too late to make up for it? Besides, it's still under my reminder... If I'm just a commoner, will my reminder be useful? In the end, it's just your willfulness. " Liu Ke said.
"Yes, the little girl is just not reconciled!" Qiao Ying said excitedly, "The Qiao family is today because of my hard work. Why should you negate everything if you are an official?"
"Hey, hey, don't expand the scope without authorization, what does it mean to deny everything." Liu Ke argued.
Qiao Ying suddenly became angry.
"Listening to the sound of the piano, I thought I met a gentle and pleasant lady, but I didn't expect it to be a violent temper. It's really disappointing." Liu Ke said.
"If it's a gentle and virtuous lady, will you change your mind?" Qiao Ying said softly.
Liu Ke suddenly got goosebumps, feeling that something was wrong.
It was agreed to quarrel together, but you suddenly came to sugar-coated bullets, what's going on?
Liu Ke didn't answer Qiao Ying's question, but changed the subject and said, "Why are you always obsessed with the issue of grades? It's fair and easy, as long as you work hard, you will be able to prove me wrong."
"Hmph! Wouldn't it be more stupid to do this? After spending years doing insignificant things, Dongyang Hou can turn things around with a single word." Qiao Ying snorted softly.
"Then don't come to me, if I accidentally see that Qiao's family has been promoted to level five for no reason, maybe I have to push it down!" Liu Ke said with a smile.
Qiao Ying was dumbfounded. How could she meet such a shameless person?
The rules made by oneself are broken casually.
How many merchants will be affected, have you calculated it?
The Qiao family was the first to be hurt, but it definitely won't be the last!
Evil must be fought.
第330六章 幽州计划
"By the way, which branch does the Qiao family come from?" Liu Ke asked in surprise, he really didn't investigate thoroughly.
