"Princess, is this okay?" Liu Qingquan looked reluctant and hesitantly at Wan Ning.

"Don't worry. Based on my years of experience watching TV dramas, this is absolutely foolproof." Wan Ning grabbed the headscarf and helped him tie it. Then she took a step back and examined her masterpiece. "You look really handsome like this. You are somewhat similar to Liu Qingyu. You can pretend to be a girl who went to the city to sell vegetables. She didn't dare to go home because she hadn't sold all the vegetables. So she went from street to street to ask the restaurants if they needed any."

"What if Furonglou buys all my vegetables?" Liu Qingquan looked back at the vegetables placed next to him, frowning and asked worriedly.

"Impossible, Furonglou is a teahouse, they can't buy so many vegetables, you can sit at this fork in the road, the location here is good to see people coming from three directions." Seeing his reluctant expression, Wan Ning added: "Don't worry, you are a poor girl selling vegetables in the city, no one will chase you away. If they ask, just say you are not familiar with the road and want to try your luck here."

"What about you, Princess?"

"Me? I plan to dress up as a beggar, what do you think?" Wan Ning fancied, "I'll guard the back door then."

Liu Qingquan took off his headscarf and held it in his hand, then sat down on the ground and suggested, "For someone as delicate as you, no matter how tightly you cover yourself up, you don't look like a beggar. If you were a struggling person, I'm afraid you would be able to see through it at a glance. Princess, why don't you ask Douzi and the others for help?"

Wan Ning sighed and sat on the ground in frustration. She was not very confident in her plan, but she just couldn't think of a better way at the moment. She also explained in frustration: "The Douzi family lives outside the city. It's too late now. Besides, it's too difficult to disguise them with so many people. They are also a big target. If they arouse suspicion, they will be found too easily, which will cause trouble. No, no!"

It was the time when day and night were changing. Night was about to fall, but the night was unwilling to end. There was still some light. Liu Qingquan sat there and looked around. Seeing that the time was almost up, he stood up and patted the dust off his butt. He said to Wan Ning beside him, "Princess, if you don't have a better idea, why not try mine later."

"What's the solution?" Wan Ning sat on the ground and looked up at him, waiting for him to tell her his trick: "You're not going to drill through the dog hole again, are you? There's no dog hole in Furong Tower - I've checked."

"I'm not going through a dog hole. What dog hole is this? Isn't there a storyteller in Furong Tower? I will go in and listen to the storyteller openly. They can't chase me away. Princess, take these dishes and go to the back door to find a family to give the dishes to. Then use their house to observe. It's dinner time now and the visibility is not clear. It's the best time to fish in troubled waters."

"Okay, why didn't you tell me this idea earlier? Let's go." Wan Ning immediately picked up the dishes and made preparations on the side.

Having said that, although Liu Qingquan is young, he has the most experience in this kind of thing. Living in the Liu Mansion, he has to look at people's faces and often deal with various servants. He also has to collect various information for Liu Qingyu. He has long been trained to get information.

As they were talking, the two of them came to a nearby alley. If you go to the end of this road and turn right, you can see the gate of Furong Building. This is one of the roads. People passed by the alley one after another, but they all took a look and left. The two of them waited patiently. At this time, a figure staggered in the distance. Before he got close, he smelled a strong smell of alcohol. I guess he must have drunk a lot of alcohol.

Wan Ning fanned the smell in front of her face with her hands and exchanged glances with Liu Qingquan who was squatting beside her. Liu Qingquan immediately greeted the drunkard with a big smile on his face when he approached, and spoke in a friendly tone: "Hey, big brother, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you these days?"

The drunk was already confused to begin with, and the sudden, unreasonable question completely bewildered him. He squinted his eyes and looked up and down, but swayed back and forth because of his weakened balance.

Liu Qingquan quickly grasped his arm, with a friendlier smile and a more affectionate tone: "Hey, brother, don't you recognize me? I'm Xiao Zhang, don't you remember me?"

"Oh, Xiao, Xiao Zhang!" The drunk man was confused and felt that he had seen a Zhang somewhere before. At this moment, it was dark and he was not in his right mind, so how could he recognize him? "You... why are you here?"

"I got a little money recently, so I came here to have some fun. I heard that the books that Mr. Furonglou said were good and you can't find them anywhere else, so I came to take a look. It's still early today, big brother, would you please come with me?"

"Go...go, why do you want to go? Your sister-in-law will scold you if she finds out." The drunk man waved his hands, broke free, and staggered forward.

Seeing that this plan didn't work, Liu Qingquan immediately followed him. Because he was not tall enough, he stood up and put his arm on his shoulder. He leaned close to his ear and whispered, "I heard that Furonglou's hangover tea is good. I'm afraid my sister-in-law will be angry if you go back drunk like this. Why don't you accompany me and have a drink to sober up?"

This statement obviously caught the drunk's heart. He turned his head with a silly look, chuckled twice, and asked flatteringly: "Really?"

Liu Qingquan saw the right situation, supported the drunk's body and led him into the alley: "Of course, it's not far ahead, 1 I'll take you there."

After saying this, he turned around and gave Wan Ning a smug look. Seeing that he had successfully carried out according to the plan, Wan Ning immediately stood up and walked towards another alley with the basket beside him.

Back to Furong Tower, everything was going smoothly. This drunk often hung out in this area, and although he had never been here before, he looked familiar, so he did not attract any special attention from the people who were observing him secretly.

After Liu Qingquan helped him enter Furong Building, he found that there were already many people sitting in the hall. He looked around and finally locked his sight on a table on the side. Although he could not hear the storyteller's face clearly while sitting there, he could see the door and any movement clearly. However, there were already some people sitting at this table.

"Come on, big brother, let's sit here." As he said this, he helped him sit on the not-so-spacious seat on the bench. The customers nearby frowned and looked displeased.

"Sorry, sorry, my eldest brother was in a bad mood today and drank a few more glasses. He insisted on coming here. There are not many seats left, so I have to squeeze in. Please forgive me." He bowed with both hands to apologize to the people around him, and then he seized the opportunity to squeeze onto a bench nearby.

"Ugh, ugh..." The drunkard suddenly retched due to drinking, emitting an unpleasant smell. Others at the same table felt that they could not get the food, so they shook their heads and moved to other seats.

Seeing that his plan was successful, Liu Qingquan gently patted the drunk man's back and checked his condition with concern, just like a good brother.

He waved his hand and called the waiter over, saying, "My brother is a little drunk. Bring me a pot of good tea to help him sober up!"
