Blood-like clouds smeared the distant sky, wisps of golden light shone on the earth, and the crowds of people were very lively. Lanterns of various colors decorated the streets of the monastery, and at a glance it was full of human fireworks.
The hustle and bustle in Yipintang is constant, which brings out the deserted atmosphere after drinking.
"Sir, you really don't want to see me?"
Liu Jun, who was doing the accounting at the counter, had hesitation on his brows. He hesitated again and again, but finally did not calm down. He looked at Chu Ling and said, "After all, this is the Shunguo Duke's Mansion..."
"Finished the accounting?"
Chu Ling leaned on the recliner and took away the book at hand, "The things you shouldn't worry about are the things you should worry about, and the things you should worry about don't worry about."
Can this be the same?
Liu Jun sighed secretly in his heart, that was the Duke of Shunguo's house. Besides, we were just going to do two business after drinking today. Why should we bother to calculate this account?
However, Liu Jun only dared to complain about these words in his heart, but did not dare to say them out.
"Shopkeeper Liu, you'd better do an accounting."
Jun Hanlin, who was sitting aside, looked at Liu Jun with a smile, "Young Master is not afraid, so why should we little people worry about these things? The younger one went to the wine bar and lost someone, and the older one came to show off, so I'll just do it."
If you don’t believe it anymore, the young master will not accept the invitation and go to Yipintang for a banquet. He will ask the Duke’s government to send someone to take down the wine.”
Liu Jun: "..."
Since he went to open the business after drinking, Liu Jun has experienced some things, and he increasingly feels that he, the shopkeeper, is not as good as Jun Hanlin, the waiter.
In fact, there are some things that Liu Jun is really afraid of. He is just an ordinary person. He comes to Shangdu just to make a living and wants to make more money so that he can marry a wife and have children. He has never experienced this before.
It was precisely because of this that Liu Jun thought more than once that he might as well be a waiter. After all, sometimes he just couldn't handle the things he encountered.
"Just do your own thing well. As for anything else, there's nothing to worry about."
Chu Ling leaned on the recliner and said calmly: "No one is any more noble than anyone else. They are all naked when they are born, and they all have to be buried when they die. They all have one nose, two eyes, and one mouth.
It’s nothing special, some things you just get used to after you’ve experienced it a lot.”
Chu Ling's words seemed to be spoken carelessly, but after Liu Jun listened, he became a little different.
Glancing at Liu Jun's expression, Chu Ling showed a faint smile.
In fact, what Liu Jun was afraid of and worried about, even Chu Ling could see, was that this was the life of ordinary people. They didn't ask for much, just three meals a day, a wife and children, and living their own small life with peace of mind, maybe not.
It's not spectacular, it looks very ordinary, but this is also a kind of life.
"It's nothing special."
A voice rang out, and the atmosphere immediately became colder after the drink was stopped.
Huangfu Yunling flicked her robe sleeves and walked in coldly. Her phoenix eyes swept over Liu Jun, who was standing at the counter. He suddenly felt his heart beat faster and nervousness welled up from the bottom of his heart.
That look was so terrifying.
It was like looking down at an ant, and he was an ant!
"etc."
Jun Hanlin stood up, met Huangfu Yunling's gaze, stretched out his hand and said: "Come and have a drink with me. It's not okay to sit at an empty table. The shop is small and there are not so many seats."
As he said that, Jun Hanlin looked at the generals and maidservants accompanying Huangfu Yunling. After all, they were from a wealthy family, and there were dozens of them just traveling with them.
"Just watch it."
After glancing at Jun Hanlin, Huangfu Yunling walked towards the wine table by the window. Several maidservants accompanying him first wiped the wooden chairs and the wine table where they were sitting.
What a fuss.
When Jun Hanlin saw the scene in front of him, he showed a half-smile but not a smile. Seeing that Liu Jun was dumbfounded, Jun Hanlin raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "Shopkeeper, the first-class number one red nine pots, dragon and phoenix in auspiciousness, nine tables, please."
If you are anxious to ask the guests to wait, you go to Jiying Pavilion to pass the dishes, and I will serve the guests drinks."
As he said that, Jun Hanlin did not forget to glance at Huangfu Yunling.
Chu Ling showed a smile, Jun Hanlin is really bad!
Huangfu Yunling was sitting on a wooden chair. She was unhappy with Jun Hanlin's rudeness, but she wanted to stop drinking this time because she had business to do.
Huangfu Yunling glanced at Chu Ling and suppressed the anger in her heart. She was disgusted with Chu Ling's rudeness. No one in Xanadu had ever dared to treat Duke Shun Guo like this.
"You don't think that by being connected with some people, you can compete with Duke Shunguo's government by organizing the Wangyou Lake Poetry Contest, right?"
Huangfu Yunling's words still sounded so harsh.
The arrogance between the lines makes people feel very uncomfortable.
"Madam, do you think these words can intimidate Chu?"
Facing the unkind glances, Chu Ling got up from the recliner, stretched out, and looked at Huangfu Yunling with a smile, "Is it possible that Duke Shun's mansion is so superficial? Whatever Chu does, it makes Madam feel
Related to this? Isn’t this too overbearing?”
“Bold!!!”
Seeing Chu Ling being so rude, all the connoisseurs scolded him sharply.
"Arrogant person."
The old woman who was standing aside pointed at Chu Ling and scolded: "My wife is the first-grade imperial concubine appointed by His Majesty himself. How dare you be so rude? Come on, take down this thief!!"
She didn't hear what Chu Ling said just now, but after hearing it, she found it so ridiculous.
There are differences between people.
A person as shabby as an ant wants to be compared with the rich and powerful. This is the biggest joke in the world!
"Who dares!!"
Jun Hanlin, who was drinking, saw the generals standing in the hall, drawing their swords towards Chu Ling, and immediately shouted in a deep voice.
The aura displayed by Jun Hanlin alerted everyone present.
The generals in Duke Shun's Mansion are all battle-hardened warriors, and their alertness to danger is far beyond what ordinary people can imagine.
"Sir, the money for the fight has to be calculated separately."
Jun Hanlin put down the wine bottle, not afraid of these generals, and looked at Chu Ling with a smile.
"I'm afraid you won't be able to make this money."
Chu Ling raised the corners of her mouth slightly, took out something from her arms, glanced at Jun Hanlin, and walked slowly towards Huangfu Yunling.
"Madam, if you want to arrest Mr. Chu, it's not impossible."
Ignoring the glares coming from the left and right, Chu Ling held up a token and said, "Before Chu suggests taking action, Madam first sends someone to Xuandiao Division to inform the third princess."
How could he have the Black Bird Division’s token!?
The moment he saw the token, Huangfu Yunling's expression changed slightly. Apparently, he did not expect that Chu Ling would be connected to the Xuandiao Division.
Why did Huangfu Jingyu do this?
For a time, Huangfu Yunling thought of many things.
"Actually, if Madam had sent someone to discuss the matter with Chu before, it would not be impossible to break off the engagement." Seeing Huangfu Yunling's silence, Chu Ling said sadly: "The threshold of Shunguo Duke's palace is high, and Chu has never thought about reaching out to someone high.
But Madam didn’t do this. She had to force Chu to bow her head. It was a simple matter, but it turned out to be so complicated.”
"Since it's easy, why don't you tear up the marriage contract?"
Huangfu Yunling said coldly.
"Why should I tear it up?"
Chu Ling asked back: "It seems that Chu did nothing wrong in this matter, right?"
"The marriage contract is wrong!"
Huangfu Yunling said again.
"Maybe."
Chu Ling put away the token and shook her head with a smile, "But this mistake was not caused by Mr. Chu, so don't show off your arrogance in front of Mr. Chu!"
After the drinking, the atmosphere became subtle.
From beginning to end, Chu Ling never felt that there was anything he did wrong. Chu Ling never denied the arrogance of a wealthy family, but why did he do this?
Perhaps in the eyes of others, he seems so overconfident and ignorant of good and evil.
But it was clear that he was not wrong, so why should he admit his mistake?
"Some things are beyond your reach."
Huangfu Yunling'e frowned slightly and looked at Chu Ling, "I'll give you a piece of advice. Before things get too serious, tear up the marriage contract and leave Xanadu as soon as possible. Duke Shunguo's government is willing to give you a sum of gold and silver as compensation."
"It seems that Madam didn't listen to a word Chu said."
Chu Ling smiled and said: "Chu will not leave Xanadu. Maybe when he gets tired of it, Chu will leave Xanadu, but not now. I won't disturb my wife for drinking."
After saying that, Chu Ling turned around and walked towards the backyard, ignoring Huangfu Yunling. No matter how strong the Shunguo Duke's background was and how powerful his intimidation was, what did this have to do with him, Chu Ling?
The state Chu Ling showed made Huangfu Yunling extremely angry. She even had a different emotion in her heart. Maybe if she hadn't said it so clearly at the beginning, things wouldn't be like this, but the pride of a wealthy family
