When Li Er saw Du He's stunned expression, he was afraid that he would call him "Your Majesty" in front of everyone and ruin his mood to go out on patrol in civilian clothes.
Moreover, Lin Ye was right beside him. If Lin Ye knew that he was the current emperor, he would not be able to speak freely like before when they interacted in the future.
"Young Master Du, why? Don't you recognize me, Chief Li?”Li Er said again, emphasizing the words 'Chief Li'.
Du He was also an intelligent person. Of course, she understood the meaning and immediately said,
"I don't dare. I don't dare to forget Master Li!”
Du He, who had always been arrogant, had a submissive appearance in front of Li Er. Naturally, she attracted the attention of everyone around her.
What was the background of this middle-aged man with a big belly?
Du He hurried over to Li Er's side." Master Li, let's go to Miss Xue Xi's pavilion to listen to the zither."”
"Yes." Li Er nodded in satisfaction.
"Then I'll go with you." Lin Ye stood up and said.
Li Er was actually very unwilling to bring Lin Ye along, but he was afraid that if he was left alone outside, he would hook up with other brothel girls.
For the sake of her daughter's future happiness, she had to keep an eye on her son-in-law!
This father-in-law of his had it too hard!
……
When they arrived at Miss Xue Xi's pavilion, they sat around a table.
"Young masters, do you want to hear me play the zither or dance?”Xue Xi asked.
"Naturally-"
Du He was about to speak when he coughed. Li Er coughed heavily, making Du He not dare to say anything else.
In front of a beautiful woman, how could Li Er allow others to steal his limelight?
"Miss Xue Xi, you must be tired after playing the zither for the entire night. Why don't you chat with the few of us and compare some couplets?”Li Er said considerately.
Xue Xi smiled at Li Er and said," As you wish."”
Although Li Er was already in his thirties and his body and appearance had become a little greasy, he could still be considered a charming middle-aged uncle.
In addition to his meticulous thoughts, strong financial resources, and no one dared to disobey his "power of the emperor", wouldn't it be easy for him to capture a girl among the people?
"It's good to pair up, it's good to pair up!"
Du He immediately echoed.
No matter how much he liked Xue Xi before, he had to give it to Li Er now.
Who asked him to be the Son of Heaven? Even his father relied on him to make a living, let alone him, a second-generation heir.
"Then let this little girl come up with a couplet first?”Xue Xi asked softly.
Li Eryi spread his hands and said confidently," Please!”
With a posture that said,"You do whatever you want, I'm very strong."
He, Li Er, didn't believe that a pair of couplets couldn't defeat a woman from a brothel.
"The couplet I came up with is: People were once monks, but people can't become Buddhas!”
Li Er was stumped.
This was a two-word couplet."Ren" and "Zeng" could form "Monk", and "Ren" and "Fu" could form "Buddha".
Furthermore,'Buddhist monk' could form another word.
A moment later, Li Er still looked like he was humming.
Li Er couldn't match it, so naturally, Du He didn't dare to match it either. Moreover, he, Du He, didn't have the talent.
At this moment, Lin Ye took a sip of wine and suddenly thought of the second line.
It wasn't that he came up with it based on his own talent. It was just that he had seen this couplet in the main world.
"Women can be called slaves!”Lin Ye replied leisurely.
Upon hearing this couplet, Xue Xi's eyes suddenly lit up, as if there were meteors streaking across her eyes.
"Nv" and "Bei" formed "Nv","Nv" and "You" could also form "Nu".
"Slave" was also a pair of words that made sense.
"This young master is really right!”As Xue Xi spoke, she raised a glass of wine in front of her and said to Lin Ye," This little girl here offers a toast to Young Master.”
The limelight had been stolen by Lin Ye, so Li Er was naturally a little unhappy.
Hence, he deliberately said in front of Xue Xi," Brother Lin, your wife is pregnant. Don't go back too late tonight.”
A man who knew that his wife was pregnant and still came out to have a ghost roll was undoubtedly a scumbag.
Such a scumbag would be greatly discounted in any woman's heart.
As expected, the smile on Xue Xi's face disappeared. She slowly put down her wine glass, and the light in her eyes seemed to have disappeared.
"Brother Li, you really are my brother on the surface!”
Lin Ye rolled his eyes at Li Er, who was trying to ruin his reputation, and said,
However, he had no intention of competing with Li Er for a daughter.
Xue Xi, on the other hand, was very attractive, but in Lin Ye's eyes, Xue Xi was far less beautiful than Li Qingshuang.
Besides, even if he, Lin Ye, was a scumbag, he would not fall in love with another woman when his wife was pregnant.
