"Young Master Baishi?" Zhuang Li thought for a while. "He's just a nouveau riche who likes to listen to stories. He's telling them well, so he's treating them to a meal?"

?? The old man quickly covered her mouth, "Don't spout nonsense, Young Master Baishi will be in trouble if you hear it. That Young Master Baishi is not an ordinary person, no one has ever seen his real appearance. He is always wearing a mask, people in the capital always treat him like a god.

"?" Why are you wearing a mask? "

"?" Some people said that he was ugly, had a pure personality, and when he opened this Brightmoon Restaurant, he only needed to listen to stories to make friends, while others said that he was handsome. It is because he is too beautiful that he always wore a mask like the Lan Ling King did, no matter if he is ugly or beautiful, he is still an incredible person! "

"?" "A lot of his customers are people that others can't even plead for."

"?" Is there anyone else who can't get a meal? " Zhuang Li was even more confused now.

?? The old man chuckled.

"?" Liu Yiyi of the Yunyao Workshop was the number one celebrity on Beijing Flowers Street. Although she was just a muse, it was harder than ascending to heaven to meet her. No matter how much you paid her, she was determined to refuse you. However, she did give Young Master Baishi some face and called him over whenever she wanted. "

"?" He stroked his short beard and thought for a moment.

"?" Also, the hero of the martial world, Pei Qian Hua, he has been roaming the world for years without a trace of wealth and poverty, and also the Floating Cloud Mage who hid himself in the forest. In the past ten years, his name had appeared three times in the rivers and lakes, but twice he talked about seeing him entering the Brightmoon Restaurant to eat … "

"?" Therefore, that Young Master Baishi from Brightmoon Restaurant was not simple!

Zhuang Li and Qing You walked for the entire morning, tired and hungry. She sniffed, and smelled the fragrance that floated out from the Brightmoon Restaurant. She walked with unmoving steps, then pulled Qing You and walked towards Brightmoon Restaurant with large strides.

She was standing at the end of the line. She was too short to see the main door, so she could only see the windows on the second floor. Qing You was a little scared, so she said, "Miss, why don't we go back?" Zhuang Li forbade it. She considered meeting this weird Young Master Baishi, but the most important reason was this kind of place that didn't need money to eat. Once they got past this village, there wouldn't be this kind of restaurant.

?? Just then, the window on the second floor opened. A lady opened the window and moved to the side. She then saw a person wearing a golden mask by the window. It was too far away to be seen clearly, but Zhuang Li realized that Young Master Baishi's gaze, which was wearing a mask, paused consciously on her for a second.

?? The people lining up downstairs shouted: "Young Master Baishi! "Listen to my story!"

Another person held a few fish: "Young Master Baishi, this is a fish from the sky! I swear! Will you listen to this story? "

?? Zhuang Li was exasperated. She had put so much effort into telling a story and even bringing a prop as well …

?? A few moments later, he heard shouts from the crowd in front of him. This meant that the Brightmoon Restaurant door had opened and someone had come out!

And then there were even more shouts coming from the crowd …

?? "Miss Hong Feng, can you tell me what story Young Master Baishi wishes to hear today?"

?? Lady Hong Feng, bring me in. I have been waiting for two days! "

?? "Lady Hong Feng …"

?? Zhuang Li, who was pushed around by the crowd, was too short to understand what was happening in front of her. Her face was flushed red.

The crowd suddenly parted to let her pass. A few servants drove her out of the way, just as she was standing in the middle of the road. That woman called Hong Feng walked step by step towards her.

?? Qing You was so frightened that she hid behind Zhuang Li. The woman called Hong Feng was wearing a high-quality chiffon dress, her hair was tied up behind her head, and her eyes were warm yet intelligent. She was dressed very simply, and from a closer look, one could tell that her outfit was worth a lot.

Zhuang Li lamented in her heart. With a single glance, she could tell that she was a woman who had seen a big scene!

Hong Feng walked straight in front of her.

"?" Young lady, the young master asks you to go up the Brightmoon Restaurant to tell him a story. "

She brought Qing You and followed behind Hong Feng into the Brightmoon Restaurant area, where Qing You was left waiting in the hall. Zhuang Li followed him through the lobby and up the stairs. They walked along the corridor until they came to a wooden door with an empty space filled with calabash vine and laurel. The wooden door was painted a wine-red, and the corners of each osmanthus flower were polished extremely meticulously. If it was a modern day auction, it would probably be worth at least a million yuan.

?? The door wasn't locked. Hong Feng opened the door, and the sound of the zither played like a kite flying in spring. In front of Zhuang Li's eyes was a small platform built on the river. On the platform sat a young lady playing a zither, her charming eyes were docile. Her dress was even more beautiful than Hong Feng's plain clothes.

"?"

?? The woman who was playing the zither lifted her head and glanced at Zhuang Li. A smile appeared on her face. A faint blue flower was drawn at the corner of her beautiful eyes. In an instant, she lowered her head again. The zither music didn't stop, but the second she looked at her was as beautiful as an illusion. Zhuang Li didn't realize that she didn't catch up to Hong Feng.

?? This is Lady Liu Yiyi. " It was unknown when Hong Feng had returned to her side.

?? Zhuang Li hurriedly wiped away the saliva she left behind and followed behind Hong Feng. This was the first time since she came to this era that she felt ashamed of her looks.

?? He walked along the river to the main hall of Brightmoon Restaurant's second floor. The main hall didn't have a door, but there was a screen embroidered with peonies and white peacocks. Beside the screen, there was a chair.

?? Hong Feng gestured for her to sit down, then ordered her servants to serve her a cup of tea before leaving.

?? This place was a little far from where Liu Yiyi played the zither, Zhuang Li thought. She really wanted to go over and see her again to listen to her zither music.

?? If you still want to hear Yi Yi play the zither, you need to calm down. "

??? The sudden voice startled Zhuang Li.

?? Then, she realised that the young master called Bai Shi was sitting behind the White Peacock's screen.

?? Zhao Ci could actually faintly hear the zither music being transmitted to her after she was told by that young master. It was like a faint, ethereal Buddhist chant.

The sound was far and close, and it was perfectly audible. If you followed her closely and lost it, if you calmed your heart, the zither notes would come closer and closer. One by one, they would jump into Zhuang Li's ears. This kind of enigmatic and wonderful feeling … It was wonderful.

It seemed that Young Master Baishi was someone who knew how to enjoy himself.

"Why did you come to Brightmoon Restaurant?"

His voice was very soft, as if he was someone who wanted to cultivate to the Immortal Realm.

On the other hand, Zhuang Li was quite frank

?? "Come eat, I'm hungry. The uncle at the door said that as long as my story goes well, Young Master Baishi will treat me to a meal."

The person behind the bead curtain giggled.

"?" Isn't it? " Zhuang Li asked.

"What he said is right. Young Master Baishi stood up, his figure was printed on the screen, slim and handsome. Zhuang Li thought to herself, although I don't know what this guy looks like, even if he looks ugly, he must be an assassin with a back view.

What kind of story have you prepared for me?

?? Zhuang Li was momentarily at a loss for words. If Young Master Baishi liked strange stories, then the weirdest story she knew was that she could actually travel to this era.

?? Young Master Baishi wouldn't be able to take it even if this story was told.

"?" Didn't you prepare a story? "

"?" Zhuang Li was shocked and woke up from her thoughts.

"?" Some do! "

Her mind was filled with stories she had heard, but she didn't know what to say to Young Master Baishi of this era.

She thought of the fairy tale her mother had told her so many times when she was a child. The most profound one she remembered …

Then she raised her head and said to Young Master Baishi, who was behind the screen …

"?" The story I'm telling is called Little Red Riding Hood. "

?? Young Master Baishi was stunned, "Red Riding Hood? "Are you talking about the red cap the groom is wearing on his wedding day?"

Zhuang Li almost laughed out loud. It was only then did she realize that Young Master Baishi could not understand what Little Red Riding Hood was. He had to explain that it was a distant country, where people had always liked to wear red hats when they were young.

?? Then she began to tell the story of how Little Red Riding Hood had gone to the forest to see her grandmother and had met the wolf. In the end, the hunter used scissors to cut off the wolf's belly and rescued Red Riding Hood and Grandma. After finishing her sentence, she looked at the shadow behind the screen.

?? She did not deny that the story was false, unlike the people who were clamoring at the door about the fish in the sky, and that the truth of not trusting others, and of being good and brave, in return, was true enough to make one not deny that it was true.

?? This was probably the magic of fairy tales, but he didn't know if Young Master Baishi would buy it or not.

Young Master Baishi raised his hand and clapped three times.

"This story is indeed strange."

?? Zhuang Li was all smiles as she thought to herself, "This is one of the classic works of Glenn; how could it not be surprising?"

?? The screen opened from both sides, separated by a bead curtain, but he could still vaguely see Young Master Baishi sitting on a teacher's chair. He was wearing a embroidered robe with a white background, leaning lazily on the armrest with his head propped up.

"What's your name, little girl?"

Zhuang Li paused. "My name is Zhao Ci."

The man behind the beaded curtain let out a low laugh.

?? Little girl, I'll call you Little Porcelain. Your story is very good, so of course I'll treat you to a meal. You can tell Hong Feng anything you want to eat now. "

Zhuang Li paused, "Then can I come back tomorrow? I still have a lot of good stories. " What she needed was not just a meal, but a long meal ticket.

"You truly are a greedy girl. However, you are quite quick-witted. If I like you, you can come at any time."

Zhuang Li was so hungry that her stomach was growling. When she got downstairs, Hong Feng had already set up the dishes in the lobby. The ivory chopsticks were in white jade bowls, and the dishes on the table were so beautiful they couldn't even be identified. Qing You held onto the chopsticks but didn't dare to eat them, so Zhuang Li slapped her forehead, a little girl who had never seen the world.

Hong Feng stood to the side and snickered. Zhuang Li suddenly felt that she might not be as cold as she looked on the surface. She asked, "Big Sister Hong Feng, come over and eat together."

Hong Feng also shook her head, greeting them for a good meal before leaving. Then she heard the little girl who served the dishes say that Lady Hong Feng was going to eat with Young Master Baishi.
