Chapter 117 Destined to meet thousands of miles away
In Fengyang, the central capital, on the bank of Huaiyang River, we can see the Huai Tower.
This is the most high-end restaurant in Fengyang, Zhongdu. The dishes and services are not mentioned, but the biggest feature is that it is expensive! A banquet can eat up an average person's annual income? That's just a mid-range and slightly lower dish.
.
Such an expensive meal has become a symbol of status. Children, descendants, relatives, nobles, and wealthy businessmen will not come here to show off unless they are required to entertain guests. But when they arrive and really want to meet any important guests,
Then you must come here. Being able to sit here and entertain guests is a symbol of status, a symbol of wealth, and a symbol of strength.
It is said that this large restaurant is the property of Xu Yingxu, the third son of King Xu Da of Zhongshan. Xu Da was the first hero in the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
The right prime minister participated in military and state affairs, was granted the title of Duke of Wei, and was awarded a hereditary iron certificate. After his death, he was granted the title of King of Zhongshan, with the posthumous title of Wuning, and was given the title of king for three generations. He was buried in the shadow of Zhongshan, and had Shinto inscriptions made. He was also entitled to enjoy the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and the portrait of the hero in the temple.
He is the first in all positions, and he can be said to be a very popular minister. His son bought a property in Fengyang, Zhongdu, and even the sons, dragons, and grandsons of Zhongdu can control it. Naturally, no one dares to make things difficult for him in this store.
Zhao Zikai was entertaining guests at the Guanhuai Tower. He was a big businessman in Fengyang, the capital of China. To be more precise, he was a big construction businessman. Zhu Yuanzhang originally intended to make Fengyang his capital, and moved 100,000 wealthy households here.
There was a lot of construction work, but later because Fengyang did not meet the conditions for being the capital of a country, under the persuasion of Liu Bowen and others, Fengyang was abandoned and Jinling was established instead.
It was during that time that the Zhao family became prosperous. Zhao Zikai's father was Zhao Zhengkui. He was a steward in the mansion of Shen Wansan, the richest man in the Ming Dynasty. He was shrewd and smart, and learned many business methods. The emperor built Zhongdu, and there were one hundred thousand wealthy households.
He wanted to build a house, so he saw this opportunity, quit his job in the Shen Mansion and took down roots in Fengyang. He made a lot of money and his feet were wet. Now Fengyang is the capital of China and the place where the Ming Dynasty was rejuvenated.
Still aloof, with all the phoenixes, dragons and grandsons gathered here, the Zhao family still has a lot of business to do. However, Zhao's father is old and has now left most of the business to his son.
Zhao Zikai has been paying attention to the pair of young women by the window, because there are very few people who come to such an expensive hotel to dine not just to entertain guests, but just to satisfy their appetites, and that pair of young women are exactly like this.
.They did not enter the private room, but ordered a few dishes there. While eating, they looked at the scenery beside the Huaihe River outside the window, as leisurely as if they were at home.
The two girls are both young, the older one is fifteen or sixteen years old, with bright eyes and white teeth, as bright as the moon. They are wearing very simple yet luxurious clothes made of elegant materials, but looking at the style of the clothes and the hairstyle on their heads, it seems that they are just a close-fitting girl.
Maid. Looking at the master from the maid, the master is naturally even more impressive. This master is another younger girl. She looks only eleven or twelve years old, with picturesque features and a charming face. Perhaps it is because of her family background.
Well, she eats well, so her body is more mature than other girls of the same age. Her clothes are also that elegant pear white color, her crystal rosy face reveals an innocent smile.
Zhao Zikai knew that this elegant style of wearing no jewelry was the custom of members of the Ming Dynasty royal family. It later spread, and only families with close ties to the royal family and high status would dress in this way. Such families,
There is no need to rely on expensive cars, BMWs, and jewelry to show off one's status.
What caught Zhao Zikai's attention was not the beauty of these two girls. Being able to sit here and eat, and dress like this, they were not women he could afford to mess with. Zhongdu Fengyang, Phoenix Sons, Dragons and Suns, Xunqi and powerful people caught them. There were a lot of them, even though they were not in power, but they had privileges. To crush Zhao Zikai to death was almost like crushing a bedbug to death. He didn't dare to take advantage of this elegant girl who was eating in Guanhuai Tower.
What he cared about was that he accidentally heard the young lady mention that the manor house was old and needed to be renovated. This immediately attracted Zhao Zikai's attention. Zhao Zikai was in the construction industry, and he knew that the elites in the villas of those princes and nobles There are not many villas, but the construction materials are very particular, and the spending is very generous. Once I take over the business, I will make a lot of income just from the renovation and maintenance, plus the cleanup of the old house will no longer make any money. The valuable wood and other items used were refurbished and sold, and it was an unexpected fortune, so he immediately became interested.
"Miss, although this is Zhongdu, there is a left-behind department in Zhongdu, and there are eight guards and officers and soldiers surrounding it, so there is no risk of anything happening, but after all, there is a mixture of dragons and snakes here. Miss has a noble status, and she ran out to play alone, leaving her family behind. There is no need After all, there is something wrong with the carriage and horses. If the eldest master, the third master, and the fourth master find out, my little maid will definitely be reprimanded."
The older beauty quietly complained about the girl who had just come out and looked like a little beauty. The girl ate her food happily and said impatiently: "It's done, I wanted to go to Peking. It's so boring to be watched by my sister and brother-in-law all day long. Now that I'm in Zhongdu, I want to be alone and be more casual, but you come and make noise again. If you do that again, I'll drive you back and I'll go out to play alone!"
The little beauty said, looking at the resentful expression of the personal maid, a pair of big, black and bright eyes smiled like crescent moons: "Okay, okay, I'll just pester you. Let's do this. I'll finish the meal in a while." , let’s go shopping in Baoyue Building and buy things in Peiping. It’s all paid for by my sister. I can’t go out for a while, so I can pick out some jewelry and give it to my sisters-in-law. Then we’ll go back to the manor. .”
"By the way, let's talk about our Zhuangzi."
The little girl put down her chopsticks and said angrily to the little maid: "Tell Manager Liu to find someone to renovate it immediately. It has only been a few years since we came here. The buildings in 'Guiyuan' are already so old. How can we live in them?" Ah. I have the final say on this matter. I will come over to play this summer, and the garden must be repaired for me. Otherwise, he won’t have to work here, hum!"
"Guiyuan? This little lady is the owner of Guiyuan?"
Guiyuan is the property of Xu Guogong's family. Is this young lady the owner of Guiyuan? Well, I heard that Xu Guogong had a daughter who was born in the year when Xu Guogong died of illness. She is almost this age. Could it be that This little lady is the little princess of Xu Guogong's mansion? Yes, that's right. Just now, the pretty maid said, "The eldest master, the third master, the fourth master", not mentioning the second son. Xu Guogong gave birth to four sons, and the second son died young. This Isn’t that just..."
No wonder the two of them were having a casual meal here. Even one of the maidservants was as graceful and elegant as a minister. It turned out to be a nobleman from Duke Xu's palace. Zhao Zikai was so excited that he immediately wanted to recommend himself.
After the guests left, Zhao Zikai didn't just leave. He saw that the young lady had finished her meal carefully, stood up and took the maid and left. Zhao Zikai immediately followed her, and saw the waiter in the shop treating the waiter to the lady. The young lady was very respectful and didn't even accept the meal money. When she saw her, she just bowed and said: "Little lady, go slowly." The two maids went out in a grand manner. Zhao Zikai was even more determined: Hey! Of course I don't have to. Pay, this is a restaurant owned by her third brother.
Zhao Zikai hurriedly paid the bill, not caring about the change, and hurriedly chased him out. He saw the naughty and lively little girl walking happily on the street, looking around, with a strange look that she couldn't see enough. Zhao Zikai hurriedly turned to his
The servant waved his hand like a carriage driver, held up the skirt of his robe and hurried after him. He bowed his head and said, "Ahem, young lady, please stay."
"Oh?" The little girl stopped, rolled her dark eyes, and looked at them curiously, but the beautiful maid took a step forward, stopped in front of the young lady, and said with a pretty face: "Who are you?
Isn’t it rude to strike up a conversation on the street?”
Zhao Zikai hurriedly smiled and said: "Excuse me, forgive me. I am Zhao Zikai, a businessman from Zhongdu. I have participated in the construction of many palaces of princes and nobles. I just overheard the young lady saying that she wanted to renovate the garden. I, I
He is engaged in this profession, so he recommended himself..."
The little girl pushed the maid in front of her, looked him up and down, and asked innocently: "Are you doing well? I want to build a red five-cornered pavilion and a large fish pond.
I will stock more fish. I will demolish the original house and build it again. I will build a bathroom made of the best stones. I will plant some flowers and plants in it. The skylight will be wider and brighter. I won’t
I like the feeling of being stuffy..."
Zhao Zikai smiled brightly and nodded repeatedly: "As long as the young lady uses a villain to do it, she will do it perfectly and make the young lady satisfied."
"Oh, that's it. That saves trouble. Just follow me. I'll go back in a while." After the young lady finished speaking, she jumped away and Zhao Zikai followed closely, followed by his servants.
and a luxurious carriage. After driving for a while, they arrived at Baoyue Tower, which specializes in selling precious jewelry. The young lady secretly glanced at the maid, with a hint of cunning and pride in her eyes. The maid's expression did not change and she gently supported her.
Whispered: "Feifei, calm down!"
The young lady quickly suppressed her smile, and with her support, she entered Baoyue Tower in a grand manner...
On the spacious and flat official road leading to Fengyang, a line of vehicles was coming.
"Master, are you almost arriving in Fengyang?"
Xiaodi was lying in the car, only sticking her head out of the car and asked.
Xia Xun rode on the horse and said with a smile: "Yes, we have just passed Guzhen and will arrive in Fengyang immediately. In Fengyang, let's stop for a while and take a look around, and then continue southward. But there are relatives of the emperor and the country there.
Walking around the streets, the powerful and nobles are grabbing a lot of them, so we have to be careful not to cause any trouble."
"Okay, sit down quickly. Your young master said he would take you to play, so don't be in a hurry this time."
Xiaodi stretched out a hand from behind and slapped her round buttocks, making a crisp sound. Then Peng Ziqi's face, which was almost exposed to the rain and dew, was exposed from behind Xiaodi's shoulders and faced her.
Xia Xun smiled sweetly. The two pretty faces of Peng Ziqi and Xiaodi depended on each other, like a side-by-side lotus flower.
Xiaodi already knows that Peng Ziqi is Xia Xun's woman. Her young master and brother have had many women before, and she has long been accustomed to it. The environment and education from childhood can shape a person's thoughts. People born in this era
Xiaodi has believed that this kind of thing is natural since she was a child and will not have any objection. Relatively speaking, Peng Ziqi has a cheerful temperament and gets along well with her. If Xia Xun must have a woman, she would prefer Sister Peng who is easy to get along with.
woman.
Along the way, the two girls with similar temperaments got along very well. They were inseparable when sitting, lying and walking. However, Xiaodi later discovered that Sister Peng, who was always clamoring to go to bed early at night, would take out her orgasm when she fell asleep.
He went without a trace, and no one knew where he had gone. Xiaodi was not stupid, and he could guess that Sister Peng had gone to be in close contact with the young master.
"Hey, you can sneak away while I'm asleep and come back before dawn, and you won't be too tired. I'll die if we don't stay together for a few days!" Xiaodi secretly pouted. Although she is still not sure about her feelings for the young master, she is already
Some sour vinegar fermented in her heart. Vinegar, the fungus that breeds love, began to take root in the little girl's heart. One day, it will grow into a big mushroom that can be used to pick girls...
