The uncle motioned to a mighty general behind him to continue forward. Zhu Ying recognized that it was the city gate lord - Yan Jin. She had seen him on the day Zhao Yu entered the city.
Next to him was a fat man who was a head shorter than him. The fat man's round eyes kept falling on Zhu Ying's body, with a flattering look on his face.
Zhu Ying frowned in disgust. She seemed to have seen this face somewhere, but she couldn't remember it for a moment.
That short, fat man was Yan Hu who wanted to tease her before. When Yan Hu saw that there was another person beside Zhu Ying, he decided that Zhu Ying was pretending to be aloof. He looked at her with narrowed eyes and wanted to swallow her in one gulp.
go.
The uncle took the invitation from Yan Jin, opened the two invitations and showed them to everyone.
The appearance of the two invitations is similar, both are a piece of bright red gilded paper, but the three handwritings of "Qi Huo Ju" signed at the end are different.
The character "Qi" is drawn using bamboo leaves as calligraphy and painting, which cannot be imitated by others.
The uncle glanced at everyone and said, "This strange house is not something that just any cat or dog can get into."
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of people in the team sneaked away.
Su Luomei took out an inconspicuous wooden sign from her arms and handed it over. There was a lifelike bamboo carved on the wooden sign.
When the uncle saw the wooden sign, his expression immediately became respectful and he personally invited them in.
A rich man behind him protested unconvinced, saying: "Why don't they have to queue up? Can they bring people in? But we can only bring one servant?"
The boy glanced coldly at the young master who was speaking and said, "If you have a sign, I will let you in right away."
Immediately there was no protest in the queue, and people queued up obediently to wait to get in.
The interior decoration of Qihuoju is completely different from the exterior facade. It seems like you have entered two worlds. Inside, there is a feeling of openness and paradise.
There is a small courtyard in the middle of Qihuoju. There is a pergola around the courtyard, and there are rows of huge fans hanging on the pergola. Strong men standing in the four corners can pull the ropes to fan the wind.
There are tables and chairs in the pergola. Each table is surrounded by a circle of bamboos as high as one person, with ice cubes placed on the four corners of the bamboos, which not only ensures a certain degree of privacy, but also brings a touch of coolness in this midsummer.
There are four dried fruits, four candied fruits and a pot of tea on the table. The maids stand in the corridor, looking at all directions and listening to all directions. As long as the customers say hello, they will immediately appear beside them to serve them.
In the center of the pergola was a raised platform, which should be a booth for an auction.
At this moment, the pavilion is already less than half full of people, and people are coming in one after another at the entrance...c
Nongzhu calculated that there were only about a hundred people in the pavilion, but there were more than just these people in the queue outside. Could it be that they would all be crowded together in a while?
Nongzhu asked: "Miss Su, will everyone from outside be let in? There can't be so many people crowded in here?"
When Zhu Ying thought about having to be crowded together with so many people, her eyes showed annoyance. She was not afraid of getting dirty but was afraid of being crowded together.
The uncle smiled and said, "This must be your first time here, sir. Our Qihuo Residence only receives a hundred guests a day."
Only then did Zhu Ying Nongzhu understand why people outside were rushing to line up.
"Young Master has a bamboo sign in his hand. He is a distinguished guest of our Qihuo Residence. Please take a seat in the VIP room upstairs. There is no need to squeeze in with these common people. If there is anything you want to eat and drink, I will let the one from Juxian Tower immediately
The cook will make it."
Zhu Ying opened the folding fan and swayed it gently. It turned out that the owner of Qiwuju opened it next to Juxian Restaurant for this reason, and it boosted the business of the two families.
Zhu Ying's movement of opening the fan at this time was very free and easy, and her face itself had a heroic spirit, which made her look like a romantic and suave young master.
Yan Hu had always coveted her beauty, and he couldn't forget it after his first glimpse of it in Fengxian City. Now that he met her here by chance, he felt that it was God's will. He was so itchy at the beauty in front of him that he swallowed hard when he looked at Zhu Ying.
He stretched out his hand to wipe his hands on his robe, walked towards Zhu Ying and wanted to invite her to sit with her. Unexpectedly, Zhu Ying and others walked upstairs instead. He was anxious ()..co
.
He quickly reached out and grabbed Zhu Ying's hand.
Zhu Ying and others did not expect that someone would be so bold and dare to act frivolously under the clear sky and broad daylight. Zhu Ying's hand was held by him.
Zhu Ying wanted to teach him a lesson, but thinking that this was on someone else's territory and she didn't know the origin of the owner of Qihuoju, it was better not to act rashly. She had to suppress her disgust and wanted to withdraw her hand, but Yan Hu
But he held on tightly and dared not let go.
Nongzhu pinched his chin, pushed him out three steps, and scolded him: "How dare you, a daring madman..."
Although Yan Hu was lustful at this moment, he was also concerned about his elder brother's face. He pretended to be enthusiastic and said: "Little brother, don't get me wrong. My elder brother and you hit it off right away. This is your first time here. My elder brother is very interested in this place."
"Come on, sit down with me and I'll tell you."
Zhu Ying pulled Nong Zhuxiang, she shook her head and said: "Let's get rid of this fat pig for now. Let's go!"
Yan Hu still wanted to follow him with a smile, but he didn't know that there was a pair of sharp eyes staring at him closely in the elegant room No. 1 of Qingzhu on the third floor, with murderous intent in his eyes. If it weren't for the people coming and going here, I'm afraid
He had been killed long ago.
The uncle immediately stood in front of Yan Hu and said in a cold voice: "This uncle has a VIP room upstairs, you can't go up there."
Yan Jin said to Yan Hu at the top of the stairs: "Don't be rude! Don't come back yet."
Only then did Yan Hu retreat angrily.
At this time, a handsome figure walked through the space between Yan Hu and Yan Jin and came to Zhu Ying. He was none other than Bai Qingyang, who had disappeared a few days ago.
Zhu Ying and Nong Zhu were shocked when they saw him: "Why are you here?"
Bai Qingyang looked at her with a resentful look on his face, and put his hand on her shoulder. Zhu Ying wanted to avoid him, but her three-legged cat Kung Fu definitely couldn't avoid Bai Qingyang.
Nongzhu opened his stance and struck at Bai Qingyang with one palm. Bai Qingyang let go of Zhu Ying with a "haha" smile and said, "You can't do anything now."
Zhu Ying stopped Nongzhu and said, "You can't beat him."
Nongzhu was so angry that his almond-shaped eyes widened and he could only stare at him.
Bai Qingyang clasped his hands behind his head and said leisurely: "Let's go to my wing. Uncle Lian, go next door and get a pot of good bamboo leaf greens and serve me all the signature dishes of Juxian Restaurant. I want to follow
My little brother *** has a good drink."
Uncle Lian grimaced, Bai Qing held his head high and said, "Don't worry, this uncle will pay."
Zhu Ying motioned to Nongzhu to give him money, and Nongzhu reluctantly took out a silver note worth one hundred taels.
"If you don't have enough, ask me for it first. If you have more, I will give you a reward." Zhu Ying said generously, she didn't care about money.
Even the uncle's eyes were shining and he took the banknote and walked away without any courtesy.
"I'll wait for you in Room 2, Qingzhu, on the third floor." As he said that, Bai Qingyang went upstairs briskly.
Su Luomei said to Zhu Ying: "Young master, if you have finished your work, you can come to me in Room 3, Cuizhu, on the second floor."
"I'll come here after I beat him until his teeth are all over the floor." Zhu Ying's humor made Su Luomei laugh, and she greeted Nong Zhu and went up to the third floor.
The Yan brothers downstairs looked at the disappearing figures of Zhu Ying and Su Luomei. The two brothers had different expressions. I wonder what they were thinking about?
Zhu Ying walked into Qingzhu Room No. 2. Bai Qingyang was throwing a candied fruit into his mouth and looking at her with frivolous eyes.
The windows of the VIP rooms of Qihuoju all face the booth. With the curtains drawn, you can see the people on and off the stage, but people outside cannot see the people inside.
Bai Qingyang poured a glass of water for Zhu Ying. He glanced at Yan Hu, who was sitting in the yard against the first row of the booth. Yan Hu was looking up at each box, trying to find Zhu Ying. Bai Qingyang asked:
"Do you want me to help you deal with him?"
"No need." Zhu Ying picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Why are you here?"
What she cares about is his appearance. As for that fat pig, she has a thousand ways to deal with him.
Bai Qingyang immediately stood up, leaned in front of Zhu Ying, and said happily: "Do you care about me?"
Zhu Ying pushed him away and said, "Stay away from me!"
At this time, there was the sound of broken dishes coming from next door, and ()..co
.
There was a voice calling for the boy to clean.
Zhu Ying glanced at the opposite side and said, "The sound insulation here is not very good!"
An imperceptible smile flashed in Bai Qingyang's eyes, then he sat down angrily, looked at Zhu Ying resentfully and said: "Since I said goodbye to you in Fengxian City, I have been thinking about you day and night every day, but I didn't expect you.
So heartless?"
What Bai Qingyang said was neither true nor false. Hearing this, the corners of Nongzhu's mouth twitched and Zhu Ying rolled her eyes.
Seeing that the effect was not enough, Bai Qingyang directly grabbed Zhu Ying's hand and said, "Zhu Zhu..."
Zhu Ying had goosebumps all over the place. She slapped the table and said, "Let's get down to business."
Bai Qingyang smiled "hehe", leaned back, leaned on the back of the chair, and said: "I still want to ask you? Why are you looking for me in such a hurry? You will let me go at the appointed time."
"Me?" Zhu Ying looked confused, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling. "When did I date you?"
"You really forgot, right?" Bai Qingyang looked in disbelief.
Nongzhu suddenly remembered something, looked at Bai Qingyang apologetically and said, "I forgot!"
Zhu Ying also remembered that she had ordered Nong Zhu to find Bai Qingyang to find out the identities of the assassins who went to assassinate Zhao Yu.
Nongzhu said awkwardly: "I left a mark for him, and he replied and said, "I'll wait outside the city." Later, when I came back, that incident happened, and I forgot about it."
Nongzhu didn't know whether he should mention Lan Caidie in front of Bai Qingyang, so he thought it would be better not to mention it for now.
Bai Qingyang pointed at Nongzhu's nose and said exaggeratedly: "Do you know that I have been waiting all night? Do you know how big the mosquitoes are outside the city? Do you know how many mosquitoes my handsome face has left behind?"
Nongzhu glanced at him and said calmly: "Isn't it a good thing?"
Bai Qingyang was so angry that he couldn't speak. He pointed at Nongzhu and shook his finger for a long time. Nongzhu stared at him fearlessly, with a look on his face, "What do you want?"
Bai Qingyang said unwillingly: "A good man doesn't fight with women!"..co
