Because this Mr. storytelling was very famous in this area, the crowd all looked forward to it when they saw him here.
"Everyone, today, the story that this old man is going to tell everyone is called 'Dream of the Red Chamber'."
"Dream of the Red Chamber?"
"Dear guests, do you know why our restaurant is called 'Red Chamber'?"
"Oh, why?"
"This... This old one will have to tell everyone from this story. "
In this era, the entertainment of storytelling was not unfamiliar to the common people. However, a storytelling method like 'Dream of the Red Chamber' was completely different from the stories they had heard before.
Liu Ruo Qing had recounted the story of Dream of the Red Chamber once again using her own method. Compared to Cao Xueqin's heavy writing style, the way she recounted the Jia Mansion's glory at the early stages was still very relaxed.
Because stories and narrative techniques were relatively novel, they naturally attracted listeners. Many people were so engrossed that they even forgot to eat.
"How's the future coming along? Next time, please tell me."
As Mr. storyteller's voice faded, the guests who were listening to him became slightly dissatisfied.
"What's going on? Why did it stop at the most exciting part?"
Dear guests, I am truly sorry, but the story of 'Dream of the Red Chamber' was written by our host at the last minute. She has written a little, and this old man will say a little, but if the guests still want to hear more, then our host will finish writing the rest of the story tomorrow.
Hearing his words, everyone had no choice but to suppress the curiosity in their hearts and eat in peace.
The story had only just started and it had already stopped. This method of suspending their appetite was obviously something that Liu Ruo Qing had thought of. She stopped at a interesting place and picked up all the interest of the listeners. This way, he would be able to attract them tomorrow.
This good story, like opium, was addictive and could not be stopped even if one wanted to. One could only continue spending money to buy and enjoy it.
Liu Ruo Qing raised her eyebrows, looked at the silent Xiao Yue, and said: "How is it, my method isn't bad, right?"
Xiao Yue was still in a daze, and did not hear what Liu Ruo Qing said.
At this time, Liu Ruo Qing finally saw the lingering sorrow on Xiao Yue's face. Raising her brows, she asked: "What's wrong, Xiao Yue?"
"Ah?" "No, it's nothing, Princess. Your servant was just listening to this story and feeling a little uncomfortable inside."
Unknowingly, the corners of his eyes had become moist.
"So that's how it is. You're already so sad at the beginning. If you want to reach the end, you better not cry to death."
Liu Ruo Qing teased, patted Xiao Yue's shoulders and said: "You've been busy all morning, you should go to the rear hall to rest first."
"Thank you, Princess."
"Right, remember to change your name in front of outsiders."
"Don't worry, Princess. This servant will remember."
Xiao Yue withdrew the disappointment in her eyes, and turned to enter the rear hall.
The man in white was sitting on the second floor next to the corridor. He was holding a glass of wine and was staring at the beautiful figure that had disappeared into the back of the hall with a sad look in his eyes.
"If it is said that there is no such thing as destiny, then I have met him again in this life. If it is said that there is such a thing as destiny, then how can one's mind finally fade away …"
He silently read the words that came out of the mouth of the storyteller. The hand holding the cup tightened slightly.
When the youth beside him heard this, he asked in a daze, "Young Master, do you like the story that the storyteller told?"
The man didn't say a word and just drank all of the wine in his cup in one gulp.
"But, why do I feel that Daiyu and Baoyu are moaning and groaning when I hear this story? If you like it, then stay together. How could you have so much trouble to worry about?"
The man laughed when he heard this. "When you have girls you like, you'll know they're not moaning."
The youth didn't understand the meaning behind the man's words and could only lower his head in a daze as he carefully savored the man's words.
Liu Ruo Qing did not return to the rear hall. Instead, she walked over to the front of the counter and sat down.
The man poured himself another glass of wine and brought it to his mouth. "Xiaoyu, go and invite that girl at the counter over here."
Hearing what the man called Xiaoyu said, the young man looked towards Liu Ruo Qing who was sitting in front of the counter and said, "Yes, Young Noble."
Xiaoyu came in front of the counter and cupped her hands in greeting, "Miss, my young master invites you in."
"Your young master?"
Liu Ruo Qing stood up from the counter, seeing Xiaoyu pointing to the table that her master was seated at, he said to Liu Ruo Qing: "My master is over there, I would like to invite my lady over for a chat."
Following Little Fishy's gaze, he saw a man in white clothes standing in front of a table in the corridor. His brows were slanted like swords, and his eyes were starry. Between his brows, his noble aura was oppressing.
When she was drinking, her manner was graceful and gentle, but every time she raised her hand, it gave her an inexplicable sense of arrogance.
Even standing there made her feel an invisible sense of oppression. Even though his lips were slightly curved upwards into a smile, it made her feel extremely creepy.
Even so, what she couldn't deny was that this man had a dazzling, handsome face. Even when standing beside Yan Yuan, who she thought was an extremely handsome man, he didn't pale in the slightest.
"Oh, okay."
Liu Ruo Qing nodded, following Xiaoyu to the man and bowing first, she asked, "Little girl Liu Ruo Qing, what might you be calling me for?"
"Liu Ruo Qing?"
The man's brows twitched with interest as if he was savoring her name.
Liu Ruo Qing saw the strange look on his face, and her heart trembled. Then, she laughed: What's wrong, Young Noble, is there something wrong with my name?
"Oh, no."
The man lifted his wine cup and brought it to his mouth. A trace of surprise flowed through his thoughtful eyes.
Isn't Crown Princess Jing Liu Tian Xin? Why is the woman in front of me called Liu Ruo Qing?
'Is it because it's inconvenient for her to use her real name outside, or … ' Liu Tian Xin was tricked?
If the one in front of her was the real Liu Tian Xin, and the little girl was hiding by her side, wouldn't she know that her servant girl had been switched with someone else?
The doubt in the man's heart gradually deepened.
For the little girl to be able to hide beside the Crown Princess Jing without being discovered, there must be something strange going on.
Liu Ruo Qing saw that he was deep in thought and felt that it was a little strange.
"Gongzi, may I ask if you have anything for me to do?"
Liu Ruo Qing's voice broke the man's train of thoughts, she put down the wine cup and laughed: "Young lady, please have a seat."
Liu Ruo Qing sat down obediently, thinking that the person in front of her was really strange.
"Miss, this' Dream of the Red Chamber 'is written in such a moving manner. I am truly impressed, so I wanted to invite you for a drink."
Liu Ruo Qing was startled, a little surprised that the man knew that the story was from her.
"How did gongzi know that I wrote 'Dream of the Red Chamber'?"
