Chapter 153 Young Master Chu’s Thoughts

The "rolling" sound of the carriage was like big raindrops hitting the ground. Ji Feng sat in the front holding a whip and skillfully controlled the carriage. The tall and strong horse was slowly heading towards the teahouse under his drive.

Qianhuan, who was sitting in the carriage, couldn't help but reach out and lift the curtain, quietly admiring the bustling street scene outside the window.

Looking along the cobblestone road, you can see rows of shops with all kinds of signs and flags fluttering. People are constantly coming and going on the street, and all kinds of hawking sounds are heard everywhere. It is such an ancient and prosperous scene!

Qianhuan couldn't help but sigh in her heart: It's true that the feeling of riding in your own carriage is different from riding in someone else's carriage. The street scenes seen from your own carriage seem to be particularly beautiful.

Although the carriage she bought was very ordinary and not luxurious at all, it was at least her first means of transportation in ancient times.

After returning to the teahouse, Ji Feng parked the carriage in the backyard and fed the horses some horse feed.

Qianhuan also asked Master Cai to arrange a room for Ji Feng near the stable, so that it would be more convenient for him to look after the horses in the future.

Since the five actors had a foundation in singing, they could memorize lines much faster than ordinary people. By the time Qianhuan went to buy a carriage, they had almost become familiar with the entire content of "The Legend of White Snake".

After reading the story, the five people's eyes were shining with excitement. They didn't expect that their boss was so talented and could write such a wonderful story.

Several people secretly swore in their hearts: they must perfectly interpret such a wonderful and moving story, and then this play will surely be very popular.

Qianhuan divided the entire "Legend of the White Snake" into ten short stories. The first is "The benefactor of the shepherd boy in the previous life", the second is "The acquaintance with Xiaoqing and the sisterhood", the third is "The marriage of Xu Bai is determined", the fourth is "The husband and wife work together to open a clinic to save the suffering", the fifth is "Xu Xian's true form is revealed and his soul returns to the underworld, Suzhen steals the magic herb to save her husband", the sixth is "Han Wen has no regrets in recognizing her true identity", the seventh is "She was so angry that she flooded Jinshan Mountain for her husband", the eighth is "Suzhen was imprisoned in the Leifeng Pagoda", the ninth is "Xu Shilin's filial piety moved the heavens when he called out in front of the Leifeng Pagoda", and the tenth is "After completing his merits, he ascended to heaven and became an immortal."

Because the first part of the story needed to be performed by the little shepherd boy and the young Bai Suzhen, Qianhuan called the two ten-year-old children, a boy and a girl, over and asked them to perform the beginning of the first part of the story.

Afterwards, Qianhuan began to edit "The Legend of White Snake" into ten stage plays according to the story written in the script, which included monologues, dialogues, and Huangmei Opera.

It was the first time for several actors to come into contact with this kind of performance method. Everyone liked this form of performance very much, especially the Huangmei Opera singing style, which had pleasant and melodious tunes, so they all rehearsed very hard.

After arranging these things, Qianhuan went to Zuixianju across the street to discuss things with Chu Yichen.

Ever since Chu Yichen had a drink with Qianhuan that day and discovered that she had some strange feelings for him, whenever Qianhuan came to Zuixianju to deliver a recipe she wanted, Chu Yichen would deliberately avoid her and let Manager Zhou handle all matters.

He originally thought that doing so would alleviate the strange feeling he had for her, but the more he avoided her, the stronger his desire for her became.

He really couldn't believe that he would fall in love with a man, and he didn't want to admit that he was a homosexual.

Chu Yichen was looking at the account book in the private room at this time, but as he stared at the account book, the image of Shanbo's younger brother with red cheeks after drinking that day emerged in his mind unconsciously.

Just when his mind was filled with beautiful thoughts and he was lost in thought, the voice of Shopkeeper Zhou suddenly rang out from outside the door: "Young Master, Young Master Liang is here to see you. Do you want to see him?"

When you think of Cao Cao, he will appear. Young Master Chu could no longer bear to say "no".

Manager Zhou only heard a voice from inside the house: "Bring him upstairs."

"Yes, Young Master's family."

Yuanji heard footsteps outside the door and immediately ran over and opened the door.

When Qianhuan saw the person sitting in the room, she immediately called out with a smile, "Brother Lin'an, how are you these days?"

Master Chu looked at the bright little face he had been thinking about day and night right in front of him, and the desire in his heart became clearer and stronger. At this moment, he finally had to admit that he really fell, even though the other party was just a man.

Chu Yichen didn’t know when he started to have different feelings for him. Maybe it was when they were drinking last time and he looked at him with a red face?

Or was it the time he fainted from a fever, falling into her arms with his eyes closed in the carriage?

I don’t know where the love comes from, but it is so deep and lasting!

Chu Yichen tried hard to suppress the throbbing in his heart, looked at the person in front of him gently and replied: "Well, I'm fine. I wonder what Shanbo wants to see me for today?"

"It's like this. I plan to transform the newly purchased Jixiang Restaurant into a teahouse. Once everything is ready, it will be open for business in a few days. I know that Brother Lin'an's family is also in the tea business, so I want to get some goods directly from Brother Lin'an when the teahouse opens."

"Okay, I'll give you the lowest price for all the tea that Shanbo wants."

"Thank you very much, Brother Lin'an. I have one more favor to ask of you."

"Brother Shanbo, please speak."

"I have no roots in Qingxi County. I'm afraid that someone might cause trouble if I suddenly open such a big teahouse. I want to temporarily register my teahouse under the name of Brother Lin'an and declare it to be the Chu family. On the opening day, I hope Brother Chu can also come to help."

"Okay, Shanbo, you can open the shop in my name. With me protecting you, I believe those villains won't dare to cause trouble or provoke you."

"That's great. Shanbo will be very grateful."

"Brother Shanbo, you don't have to be so polite. I heard from Madam Yang of Xunfang Pavilion that Hongyu will be performing on stage in the next few days. Didn't brother Shanbo say last time that he likes to watch singing and dancing performances? How about I invite you to Xunfang Pavilion to drink and watch dancing today?"

After making clear his feelings, Chu Yichen wanted to create more opportunities to interact with the person in front of him.

Qianhuan planned to take advantage of the period before the New Year to make more money in Xunfang Pavilion, and she would not perform at Xunfang Pavilion after the New Year.

So she told Mother Yang last night that she would be performing in the next few days. She didn't expect that Mother Yang would leak the news to those big sponsors who often patronize the store so quickly.

Qianhuan quickly refused and said, "Brother Lin'an, I'm so sorry, I've been too busy recently. How about I accompany you to Xunfang Pavilion to drink and watch dance when I have some free time later?"

Seeing him refuse, Chu Yichen felt a little disappointed, but he still said politely, "In that case, let's make an appointment next time."

Qianhuan quickly stood up and said goodbye, "Well, Brother Lin'an, I will go back first."

"Okay, I'll take you to the door."

Chu Yichen sent him to the entrance of Zuixianju and watched him enter his teahouse. Only then did he reluctantly look away.

Although Chu Yichen was a little disappointed that he didn't make an appointment with anyone today, he comforted himself that Shanbo's teahouse was now opened opposite his own restaurant, and they also had business cooperation. As the saying goes, those who are close to the water get the moon first. He would have many opportunities to contact Shanbo in the future, so there was no need to rush.
