Gu Qianfan quickly regained his cold expression: "Company, why are you here?"
The person who appeared in front of him was the company of the Imperial City Division. His boss was a Shangguan who lacked ability but had first-rate skills in courtship.
Lei Jing had a Maitreya Buddha smile on his face: "It's a coincidence. I made an appointment with someone to drink tea today. I was just about to leave when I suddenly saw you. Why don't you come over and say hello?"
"That's right."
Gu Qianfan showed a look of relief, but he was sneering in his heart. He knew exactly who Lei Jing was.
"By the way, Qianfan, who was the person who had tea with you just now? He looks familiar to me?" Lei Jing suddenly asked, pretending to be casual.
Gu Qianfan knew that this kind of thing could not be hidden from Lei Jing, so he said truthfully: "The company has good eyesight. The person just now is the Zhongyong Hou Lord Zhou."
Lei Jing's face trembled: "Zhongyonghou? Is he the Zhongyonghou of the young general of the Song Dynasty?"
"Exactly."
"Oh, Qianfan, you actually know Lord Zhou, why haven't I heard you talk about him before?"
Lei Jing's attitude suddenly changed. Although Zhou Chen has no official position now, just being a hereditary loyal and brave marquis is enough for people to take him seriously, not to mention that Zhou Chen is only in his twenties now. In the future,
It is destined to have a bright future.
If he could be friends with such a person, he would be happy with it.
Gu Qianfan said: "Company, you may not know that I was a Jinshi in the same year as Lord Zhou."
"Really? Is there still such a thing?"
Lei Jing looked surprised. He had never investigated this matter before.
"Qian Fan, you are in the Imperial City Department, I treat you well, right? If you have a chance to meet Lord Zhou again, how about introducing him to me?"
Although Lei Jing said that thanks to Gu Qianfan, he had put on the scarlet robe and his power had been improved this time, he knew better that there was still a big gap between him and Zhongyong Hou Zhou Chen.
Because the Imperial City Department he led was mainly based on military positions, it was destined that it would be difficult for him to be of the same mind as the civil officials in the court. On the contrary, if there was an opportunity to make friends with the Zhongyong Houfu from a family of military generals, he would definitely not hesitate.
"Your Majesty, I will remember it."
Gu Qianfan replied casually, but in fact he didn't take it to heart. He had always looked down upon him, a Shangguan who was corrupt, bent the law and wanted to climb up the ladder.
After Zhou Chen and Gu Qianfan parted ways from the restaurant, they did not go back directly to the Hou Mansion, but came to Ma Xing Street.
Zhao Pan'er and their newly opened Zhao's Teahouse opened yesterday. He couldn't come yesterday, but today, he can still come and support it.
Arriving at the door of Zhao's Tea House, Zhou Chen looked at the small two-story building, which was not large in area, and couldn't help but think of Zhao's Tea House in Qiantang.
In fact, if we really compare it, Zhao's Teahouse in Qiantang has a larger area, better environment, and wider view.
But Tokyo is Tokyo after all, and it is far from being comparable to Qiantang. The cost of this tea house is much more than that of Qiantang's tea shop.
"Guest, please come inside..."
Yin Ping, who was in charge of welcoming guests, suddenly widened his eyes and said, "Zhou, Zhou, official"
Fortunately, she reacted in time, covered her mouth, and did not call out the word "Master Hou".
Zhou Chen glanced inside and said with a smile: "Not bad, there are quite a lot of people."
As soon as I entered the tea house, I heard the sweet sound of pipa playing from upstairs.
After serving the fruits, Sun Sanniang was very surprised when she suddenly saw Zhou Chen.
"Mr. Zhou, why are you here?"
"Pan'er, Pan'er."
"What's wrong, Sanniang?"
"Look who's coming?"
Zhao Pan'er walked over and saw that it was Zhou Chen. He was also surprised, and then said directly: "Official Zhou, you are here. Come on, please come upstairs."
