The shopkeeper on the first floor of Man Yue Building originally did not allow Liang Yan to bring Qiao Wanli in. This had nothing to do with money. Liang Yan had previously received five hundred taels of gold as a gift from Liu Zihan, so there was no shortage of money, but there was no shortage of money on the second floor of Man Yue Building.
You can get money, but you have to be a person of status.
It wasn't until Liang Yan made it clear that he was one of the eighteen people selected for this "tea tasting party" that the shopkeeper took a new look at him and finally allowed him to take Qiao Wanli upstairs.
Liang Yan led Qiao Wanli to the second floor, where he saw a spiral walkway. Both sides of the walkway were filled with various exotic flowers and plants, and bursts of refreshing fragrance hit his nostrils.
Boxes of various colors were lined up on both sides of the aisle, and the interiors were elegantly decorated and each had its own characteristics. Liang Yan and Qiao Wanli randomly picked an elegant room and sat down in it.
The waiter had already brought the menu, but Liang Yan didn't even look at it. He just let Qiao Wanli mess around and ordered all the famous dishes such as the seven-treasure braised rare fish, the roasted chicken with snowflakes, the braised pork with salt and so on.
"Your Excellency has ordered the dishes for this table. Can you finish them later?" Liang Yan asked teasingly.
Qiao Wanli handed the menu to the waiter, patted his belly and said with a smile: "Old beggar can't do anything else, but this 'prime minister's belly' is one of the best. You can take a look at it later!"
Seeing that he was such a rogue, Liang Yan couldn't help but smile, changed the topic, and started chatting with Qiao Wanli over and over again.
After many trials, Liang Yan always felt that the old beggar did not know his identity and simply regarded him as an ordinary rich man.
"Does this beggar really just want to blackmail people into having a big meal?" Liang Yan couldn't help but curse in his heart.
He had heard Jin Yuye mention that day that Qiao Wanli's lineage had a special skill. The "Buddha Capturing Dragon Skill" required sharpening one's mind in the secular world, so he turned into a beggar on weekdays and did not use magic power easily.
Just as Liang Yan was meditating secretly, more than twenty maids had already walked into the private room with dishes. The first one, with a beautiful face and empty hands, saluted the two of them and said softly: "Slave Xiaolian, have you seen me before?"
Sirs, if you need anything during the meal later, you can use your servants."
While she was talking, the maids had already put all the dishes on the table. Qiao Wanli's index fingers moved at the sight, and he didn't even pay attention to the others. He went directly to the table, grabbed a roast chicken and started to eat it.
These maids all serve guests on the second floor of the Man Yue Building. They are used to seeing dignitaries and dignitaries. Most of those people are very respectable. How can there be someone like Qiao Wanli who does not care about his image and eats and drinks like he wants?
A few maids couldn't hold back their faces and almost laughed out loud, but they were glared at by the maid who called herself "Xiao Lian" and then put away their smiles.
Liang Yan sat aside, neither eating nor talking much, just letting Qiao Wanli do whatever he wanted. He closed his eyes and sat quietly for a while, when he suddenly heard a stampede sound coming from the stairs of Man Yue Building, and it immediately started to work in his body.
"Hunhun Gong", it took a long time before I opened my eyes and said to myself in my heart:
"It seems the rightful owner has arrived!"
Qiao Wanli, who was eating and drinking, also paused for a moment, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, but this was only fleeting. After a while, he returned to normal and continued to drink and eat meat with a smile.
As the footsteps gradually approached, three people walked over on the walkway outside Liang Yan's room.
The first man was about fifteen years old, wearing a splendid robe studded with jewels and jade, many of which were rare treasures. It was obvious that this man had an extraordinary status.
As for the two people behind him, one of them is over fifty years old, with a hunched back. Although the whole person looks ordinary, there is something strange about him, that is, his right arm is extremely thick, almost as big as an ordinary person's thigh.
As for the other person, he was a white-faced scholar. His face was always plain. Only when he passed by Liang Yan's box, he frowned slightly and turned to look in the direction where they were.
At this moment, the scholar's eyes were extremely sharp, as if he could see through the door and look straight into his heart.
His eyes wandered in Qiao Wanli's direction for a moment, seemingly hesitant, but in the end he shook his head, retracted his gaze, and walked forward following the young master in brocade clothes in front of him.
From the beginning to the end, this person never looked at Guo Liang Yan, as if he didn't exist.
Liang Yan was like a mirror in his heart. The three people who passed by outside just now, the hunchbacked old man and the white-faced scholar were all monks in the late stage of foundation establishment. As for the young man in gilded clothes at the head, he was an ordinary mortal.
In the end, the three people did not stay on this floor, but stepped on the stairs again, and actually climbed to the third floor of the Full Moon Building that almost no one can go to: "Zhaixing Pengyue Pavilion"!
Qiao Wanli seemed a little satisfied after eating at this point. He waved his hand and said: "Girls, please stop being in the way here. The old man doesn't like others to watch while eating. You all can go down!"
The maids serving in the room all looked at each other in confusion, not knowing for a moment whether they should listen to Qiao Wanli's words or not.
Xiaolian reacted very quickly and immediately looked at Liang Yan, obviously waiting for his order.
Liang Yan smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Since the old man doesn't like to make noise, then you can all go down. Your service is not needed here."
After receiving his order, Xiaolian breathed a sigh of relief, and together with the other maids, they all made a blessing and then slowly left.
Seeing that everyone had left, Qiao Wanli reached out and wiped his shiny mouth, and said with a smile: "Little brother, you are a good character! You know that the old man is deliberately trying to trick you, but you are still willing to treat me to a meal of delicacies from the mountains and seas. For the sake of
Express your gratitude, and the old man will teach you some martial arts skills, which will be useful to you for the rest of your life!"
Liang Yan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "It's just a meal, why do you have to make up some lies to make me happy."
Qiao Wanli's eyes widened and he said angrily: "Don't you believe it?"
Seeing Liang Yan's mocking look, he thought that the young boy didn't believe him, so he thought to himself: "I have to show my hand and let this boy see how powerful he is!"
Qiao Wanli thought of this, and suddenly reached out and slapped the table, and the exquisite wine pot on the table began to spin rapidly. Qiao Wanli clicked his finger again, and the pot lid immediately flew into the sky, and a wine dragon rolled out and hit straight towards
A flowerpot in the room.
boom!
After a crisp sound, the flower pot was beaten to pieces and almost shattered into powder on the ground.
"Boy, how are you? Is my skill good enough?" Qiao Wanli looked at Liang Yan proudly.
Liang Yan felt a little funny at this moment, and thought to himself: "It seems that this old beggar is used to playing games, and he often pretends to be an expert. This time he is really good at pretending!"
