The waiter turned around to get the key, when about ten people walked in from the main door.
The man in front of him was in his twenties, tall, with a big head and small eyes. He was wearing very well-made clothes. He walked with a swagger and looked very grand. The dozen or so people surrounding him seemed to be his entourage.
, some of them were shouting and pushing aside passers-by to clear the way for their masters, while others were respectfully joining in the fun and joking with their masters.
When the dozen or so people came to the counter, the middle-aged shopkeeper's eyes immediately shone, and he greeted respectfully: "Hey, Mr. Zhou, you are back. Where did you go to play today? Are you there again?"
What famous people did you meet in Hongzhou City, and how much money did you spend?" When he said the last sentence, his eyes deliberately glanced at Lu Zhan and Zhen Suishu, obviously intending to ridicule them.
Mr. Zhou glanced at Lu Zhan and Zhen Suishu with his small eyes, and asked them with a smile: "Looking at the two of you, it seems that you are also here to participate in Governor Sima's 'Secret Realm Heroes Meeting', right?"
"Exactly." Zhen Suishu replied with her head raised.
Mr. Zhou asked again: "I live in the 'Manse Peach Garden' in the center of the garden, which costs 3,000 taels of silver per night. I wonder which small courtyard you two live in? If it's not far from my garden, are you free?
I can chat with you two."
Before the two of them could answer, the middle-aged shopkeeper had already rushed to answer: "These two gentlemen just live in the room where Governor Sima entertains them for free."
"Oh, that's right." Mr. Zhou's face turned cold and he had no interest in continuing to answer. He just turned his head and said to the middle-aged shopkeeper: "Actually, I didn't go anywhere to play today. I just invited a few officials from the state government.
We went to the Wanxiang Tower to eat and drink, and spent several thousand taels of silver. The day passed without any fun at all. Alas - how can such a big Hongzhou City make people feel uncomfortable?
It’s so boring.”
"You, of course you find it boring to eat with those government officials," the middle-aged shopkeeper put his mouth close to Mr. Zhou and whispered: "But I heard Mr. Cao said that tonight I want to have Mr. Fan, especially Mr. Fan.
Young Master, Young Master Bai and a few others are going to play in 'Xiaoyingzhou' together, why don't Young Master Zhou also join in the fun?"
"'Xiao Yingzhou'?" Mr. Zhou's eyes lit up and he said with joy: "Before I came to Hongzhou City, I often heard people mention such an interesting place. It is said that this is the most worth visiting place in Hongzhou City.
It’s an elegant place to visit, but I’ve been too busy socializing with the men in the officialdom these days, so I haven’t had the chance to go there. It’s rare that I’m free tonight, so I can go there and have a look, and Mr. Cao and the others are also going, so
It adds to the excitement.”
"Hey, that's right." The middle-aged shopkeeper said with a low smile: "The most popular ones in 'Xiaoyingzhou' are the sisters Qingji and Rouji. Just now I heard Mr. Cao say that this time
The two sisters specially invite you young masters who have come from all over the country to attend the 'Secret Realm Heroes Meeting' to attend tonight's 'Liuhua Moon Viewing Meeting'. As long as you go to 'Xiaoyingzhou' with the invitation card issued by the Governor's Office.
, the two sisters will receive you wholeheartedly. You know, these sisters are usually quite aloof. Even if the young masters from Sima Mansion go, they may not be willing to meet you. Tonight, they are willing to entertain you personally, but for
It’s a great honor for you gentlemen who have gathered from all over Hongzhou.”
"Ah, that's really exciting." Mr. Zhou laughed lustfully: "It would be even more wonderful if we could kiss the two most famous beauties in Hongzhou City. We also
It’s a worthwhile trip, haha…”
He laughed a few times, glanced sideways at Zhen Suishu and Lu Zhan next to him, and sneered: "The only drawback is that the people she invited this time seemed too trivial. Those who participated in this 'Secret Realm Heroes Meeting'
Not all people are heroes, there are also cats and dogs who can't even afford accommodation. How can these cats and dogs deserve to appear in such an elegant place as the 'Liuhua Moon Viewing Convention'? It's really disappointing. If those cats and dogs have self-awareness
, I think it’s better not to go to that elegant place to be nice and ugly, so as not to make people laugh, don’t you think so?”
The middle-aged shopkeeper smiled and agreed: "What you said is absolutely true. Mr. Zhou is absolutely right. In this world, people are divided into nine grades: upper, middle and lower. If you don't mix people of different grades together,
Even if the scene that night was elegant, it still had a taste of vulgarity."
Mr. Zhou pointed at the nose of the middle-aged shopkeeper and laughed and cursed: "Shopkeeper, you old man, what you say makes sense. Master, I like to hear it. I will reward you with an extra hundred taels of silver tomorrow, haha, hahaha...
"
"Thank you Mr. Zhou, hehe..." The middle-aged shopkeeper also smiled obscenely.
Mr. Zhou laughed all the way and led a group of followers to the garden behind. When he passed by Zhen Suishu, Mr. Zhou hit Zhen Suishu hard with his shoulder, knocking him off his feet.
He staggered and almost fell down. It seemed that Mr. Zhou did this on purpose.
After the middle-aged shopkeeper sent Mr. Zhou away with a smile, his expression suddenly turned serious and he shouted to the waiter next to him: "Why are you still standing there? Send the two young men to their free rooms quickly."
He deliberately emphasized the word "free".
The waiter quickly took the key and walked up the stairs with Lu Zhan and Zhen Suishu.
Zhen Suishu stroked his shoulders, stared at Mr. Zhou's back, wrinkled his nose and whispered: "What's so great? Do the children of rich families have to attract hatred like this in order to show their presence? They walk like crabs.
Walking sideways is very inconsistent with the instructions in ancient books."
Lu Zhan smiled faintly: "Brother Zhen, why should he be familiar with such vulgar people? He lives in his courtyard for three thousand taels a night, and we live in our free dormitory. However, this man seems to have quite good martial arts attainments. I know this man
What’s the origin?”
After all, Zhen Suishu is well-informed through book materials: "His name is Zhou Qi, and he is the eldest son of the Zhou Mansion in Zhuxi City. Zhuxi City is to the west of Hongzhou. The Zhou Mansion is the most powerful family in the western region of Hongzhou.
.The accountant just mentioned a Mr. Cao. His name is Cao Zunde, and he lives in Chifeng City, a key town in the southwest of Hongzhou. The Cao family has almost monopolized all the waterway business in the southwest of Hongzhou, and they are considered representatives of the newly rich families in Hongzhou.
.The martial arts attainments of Zhou Qi and Cao Zunde have both reached the late stage of Qi Condensation Realm. They are arrogant and domineering. In addition, the Zhou and Cao families are very close to each other on weekdays, so those two people are considered by the locals as
They are collectively known as the 'Double Hegemons of the Southwest'."
Lu Zhan silently wrote down the information of the two people. If they want to expand their family business, Lu Zhan must extend their tentacles to the surrounding areas. Lu Zhan's nature does not disdain to curry favor with these nobles or wealthy children, but he can grasp some information about the forces in various places.
No matter there are any conflicts or exchanges in the future, it should be quite useful.
The group of people settled down in the "Shimen Inn".
In fact, this room with free hospitality is also very good. It is a suite with two south-facing rooms. You can sleep without being disturbed. It is cleaned very well. When you open the window, you can overlook most of the scenery of the southern part of Hongzhou City.
After entering the room, Xi Liuzi and Ah Wu were busy packing and placing their luggage.
Lu Zhan walked to the window, opened it, and felt a warm breeze blowing in his face. He leaned over the railing and had a panoramic view of Hongzhou Men's City. This large city with a population of millions covers a vast area, and everything is densely packed under his nose.
The streets are crisscrossed by black tile eaves, with busy traffic and flags flying in shops and restaurants.
To the east of the city, there is a large lake with glimmering water and dotted sail shadows, creating a beautiful scenery.
To the west and north of the city are the continuous green mountains, the mountains are as dark as black, and the clouds surround the green peaks.
Zhen Suishu walked to the window and took a look outside, and sighed: "It's better to live here. The view is broad and the air is fresh. It's not like those small villas down there. Not to mention the price, everything you see is...
These rockeries and stagnant water are boring."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone knocking on the door. Xi Liuzi rushed over to open the door and saw a pretty girl dressed as a maid standing at the door.
"Who is this girl looking for?" Xi Liuzi asked politely when he saw that she was a beautiful woman.
The little maid looked at Xi Liuzi, her eyes moved, and she saw Lu Zhan and Zhen Suishu standing in front of the window. Although this girl was young, she had been trained since she was a child, so she had quite a bit of eyesight. But she could tell at a glance
The two people standing by the window are the owners of the room.
Then he smiled at Lu and Zhen and said, "Are you here to participate in Governor Sima's Secret Realm Heroes Meeting?"
Xi Liuzi held his arms in front of the little maid and said, "Yes, what do you want?"
The little maid's voice was clear and pleasant: "I am the messenger of 'Xiaoyingzhou'. My Miss Qingji would like to invite all the heroes who participated in the 'Secret Realm Heroes Association' to go to 'Xiaoyingzhou' to participate in tonight's 'Liuhua Moon Viewing Conference'.
I wonder if you two gentlemen would like to show off tonight?"
Lu Zhan and Zhen Suishu glanced at each other, thinking that "Xiao Yingzhou" had received the news so quickly. They had just checked into the "Shimen Inn", and someone immediately came to say hello and send invitations. I think this "Xiao Yingzhou" must have received the news very quickly.
"zhou" is really not as simple as an ordinary romantic place. There must be some forces behind it in Hongzhou City.
Zhen Suishu said to Lu Zhan with some lack of interest: "Just now in front of the counter, Zhou Qi seemed to have said that he was going to attend this 'Liuhua Moon Viewing Party'. I am too lazy to talk to such a wealthy kid who likes to create hatred.
Come on, besides, I’ve been tired from traveling these past few days and I want to go to bed early. Brother Lu, you are young and full of energy, so you might as well join in the fun."
In fact, Lu Zhan didn't have much interest in this kind of gathering. Just when he was about to refuse, Xi Liuzi suddenly jumped in front of him, raised his eyebrows and muttered to Lu Zhan: "Boss, we must go. I didn't listen to what the accountant below said."
? This 'Little Yingzhou' is the most wonderful and luxurious place in Hongzhou City. It would be a pity not to go. Besides, it is rare for a red-branded girl from a brothel to take the initiative to invite you. How can such an opportunity be given to our Yunmeng City?
Could happen? So don’t give up this opportunity.”
