Chapter 16: Longmen Changes Everyone Sees
Under Li Xi's leadership, Chen Jiao was finally able to leave Liaodong City and go to the Longmen Inn. She was surprised to find that the closer she got to the Longmen Inn, the more prosperous the place she saw, it was not like she was on the border. No wonder when she was in Liaodong City before, there were often caravans passing by their side.
"Girl, come here to take a look. The cans here are very good." A hawker's greeting attracted Chen Jiao's attention. She walked to the hawker's stall in surprise and watched the hawker enthusiastically introduce his so-called "can". It was a brown clay pot with very well sealed. There were three words "Ru Niangguo" written in beautiful small seal on the can.
"Girl, look at this. This is the best canned food made by the canister shop. The quality is very good. You can still keep it at home after you finish eating it. Also, the inside is full of fresh fruits. We have it here, and we can't eat it anywhere else." The vendor probably saw her identity as a stranger from Chen Jiao's clothes and immediately introduced it enthusiastically. But he didn't know his introduction made Chen Jiao feel like he was not sure where he was.
"Jiaoer, come here." Li Xi turned around and looked at Chen Jiao who had not followed, and greeted him. He knew that the first time people came here would be attracted by these strange things.
"Brother-in-law, there are cans here!" Chen Jiao was shocked and forgot that Li Xi could not know about cans.
"The canned food here is indeed a big specialty. When you go back, you can bring some to you and try it out." Li Xi didn't care what she said, "You'd better not look around, there is Longmen Inn in front."
"Longmen Inn?" Chen Jiao looked up and saw that a very imposing sign was hanging horizontally at the entrance of the restaurant ten meters in front of him, with four words "Longmen Inn" flying and dancing.
Longmen Inn has a very good service attitude. As soon as he entered the door, a young man immediately took them to the elegant seat, and then he sent the exquisite dish cards made of wood chips. While Chen Jiao was still amazed at the dish cards that were carved like artworks, Li Xi had skillfully said a bunch of dishes and asked the guy to serve them.
"Brother-in-law, I'm very familiar with this place?" Chen Jiao couldn't help but ask strangely when she saw this.
"I've been here a few times," Li Xi said, then took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to the serving clerk, and ordered, "I'll ask your shopkeeper to come out and see you, and say that it's an old friend coming to visit."
After a while, he saw a middle-aged man walking in. He smiled at Li Xi and said, "Okay, Chen Shi, I haven't shown my face for ten years."
"Brothers, don't be fine!" Li Xi said with a smile. Zhu Ji, the current manager in charge of Longmen Inn, was also his close friend many years ago.
"Okay, don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. Just say anything. Don't say you came to see me on the way, then I don't believe it." Zhu Ji laughed heartily.
"Brothers' eyes are like a torch. The business came for the group of people who were detained by Ling Zun last time. Please ask Ling Zun to give up your hands and let them go." Li Xi said directly.
"What? You sent those people last time?" Zhu Ji was obviously surprised.
"It can be said yes, or it can be said not. People are all mine, but..." Li Xi smiled bitterly, "It was all sent by my sister." He pointed to Chen Jiao beside him and said.
Zhu Ji looked at Chen Jiao and said, "Brother Chen, I won't say anything vain in our friendship. Everything else is easy to say, but I can't make the decision."
"So, according to brothers, how should this matter be settled?" Li Xiyi lowered his face and asked.
"Brother Chen, whether this matter can be good depends on this girl." Zhu Ji said, "The hot turbid oil involves a major secret of our families, so everything is decided by my father. He is in the backyard of the inn at this moment. If this girl can answer a few questions here, then my father will meet her in person and everything will be fine at that time."
"What if it can't?" Li Xi narrowed her eyes and asked.
"Then please leave this woman behind, Brother Chen." Zhu Ji said, his face was very serious, without a trace of boldness when he first appeared. After hearing his words, Li Xi's face suddenly changed, and the smile on his face instantly turned into an angry face.
"What kind of question is this?" Chen Jiao saw that Li Xi seemed to be about to start abruptly, so she quickly grabbed his sleeve and asked. She could see that Li Xi and Zhu Ji in front of her had a good relationship and did not want them to break up.
"If the girl is the person her father wants to meet, these questions should be very simple for the girl." Zhu Ji turned his gaze to Chen Jiao and said.
"Sir Zhu, please tell me."
"Please tell me the following of these poems. The first poem is: 'The bright moonlight in front of the bed is suspected to be frost on the ground.'"
When Chen Jiao heard this poem, she was completely stunned. It is certain that the boss behind this Longmen Inn is definitely not simple.
"...Mom, girl." Mr. Zhu's voice woke her up from her trance, and Chen Jiao immediately blurted out, "The following is: 'Look up and look at the bright moon, and look down and think of her hometown."
When Chen Jiao finished memorizing this poem, Li Xi's face was full of shock. He didn't expect that Chen Jiao could really answer it.
Zhu Jiyi is the same. Although he has been familiar with these poems since he was a child, no one in this world knows anything except the family members. He immediately said: "Miss is so talented, and there is another poem below: 'The nine provinces are angry and rely on the wind and thunder, and thousands of horses are silenced together.'"
"I advise the God to shake the enemy up and to subdue talents without any restrictions." Chen Jiao replied calmly this time.
When Chen Jiao finished speaking the last word, there was silence in the elegant seat.
"Brother Chen, please stay. Please, girl!" Zhu Ji stood up, put in a position of inviting him to enter, and asked Chen Jiao to enter the backyard.
