Zhou Yuan's restaurant opened in the most prosperous north of Taojiang County and was named Jufulou. The Zhou family suffered many hardships, so Zhou Yuan chose this name to pray for God to bring some blessings to the Zhou family.
In front of the Jufulou Tower, the largest family in Taojiang County is the Wei family. All the powerful families in Taojiang County are led by Wei Cheng, the head of the Wei family. Wei Cheng's words are even more effective than official documents from the government.
"Master of the Wei family, it must be you, the adopted son of the king, who flatters you so much. Inviting you to eat in the restaurant opened by the adopted son of the Minister of Hubu. This honor is unique to us in Taojiang County.
"
How could a person like Wei Cheng not have a few losers around him? Among the people waiting in front of the restaurant, there was a middle-aged man standing next to Wei Cheng, with a thumbs up and a flattering look on his face.
say.
"Who says it's not the case? The wealth of our group depends on the head of the Wei family!"
"In my opinion, the head of the Wei family will have to step into the court sooner or later. Not only as an important minister, but also as a high-ranking official in the border area."
Wei Cheng, who was surrounded by everyone, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly when he heard the repeated compliments, "Don't worry, everyone, as long as we get along with the adopted son of the great king and the adopted son of the Minister of Household Affairs, our wealth and power will be great."
Didn’t you just move your hands and come?”

With that said, Wei Cheng pointed to the restaurant behind him and said seriously to everyone, "But everyone, I have to remind you that this restaurant is opened by the righteous son of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, let alone who is entertaining the guests?
.”
"If any of you dares to give me too much wine, make a mistake, and offend these two nobles, then don't blame me for being cruel."
Wei Cheng knew who this group of people were. He was used to following him around Taojiang County. He was really worried that after these idiots drank some horse urine, they would no longer know the world.
What worries him even more is that this group of people must not let out the scandalous things they usually do. Wei Cheng is able to live in Taojiang to this day because of this caution.
The previous county magistrate had been bribed by him with money, land, and beauties. Officials and police officers in the county government and police station would disrespectfully call him "Master Wei" when they saw him.
Originally, Wei Cheng wanted to continue to deal with the new county magistrate like this. If you don't obey, I will deal with you until you obey!
What Wei Cheng never expected was that the new county magistrate would actually be the adopted son of the king. This left him with no choice but to warn those around him to restrain themselves, and then try to build a good relationship with Deng Ai.
When everyone heard what Wei Cheng said, they all promised that they would not make any mistakes.
Seeing this, Wei Cheng nodded with satisfaction.
"Get out of the way, I want to go in to eat!"

At this moment, a childish voice came, and a pretty girl stood in front of everyone.
Someone next to Wei Cheng took a step forward and said impatiently, "For dinner, go to another restaurant, or go home to eat. Today, we have reserved the Jufulou Restaurant."
The girl asked curiously, "What does booking a room mean?"
The man didn't have much patience, "Where did you come from, little brat? If you don't leave, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
Wei Cheng didn't say much. Today's banquet cannot be disturbed by anything.
"Xiaohe, what happened?"
On the street not far away, Mrs. Yue helped Zhou Peng arrive. Seeing her daughter arguing with someone, Zhou Peng called out from a distance and asked. This girl is none other than Zhou Xiaohe.
Zhou Xiaohe puffed up his cheeks and said, "Dad, I said we wanted to go in for dinner, but this group of people said they had reserved the place and wouldn't let us in. They also said they were rude to me."
Zhou Penghu, who was approaching, was stunned, "Guys, you can reserve the entire venue, but if you want to do something to my daughter, it's your fault, right? How old is she, you guys have the nerve to do something to her?"
"Hey! You lame old man don't want to live anymore? Get out of here quickly, or I will show you today what it means to be rude." The man rolled up his sleeves and looked ready to take action.

Zhou Peng frowned, "Although I'm not a big shot, I'm not afraid of trouble. If anyone wants to touch my wife and children, let me, a cripple like me, dare to fight to the death!"
"Shameless, hit me!"
"stop!"
When a group of men were about to take action, Deng Ai and Sun Shao led several officials from the corner of the street.
Upon seeing this, Wei Cheng quickly stepped forward and bowed his hands, "Your Majesty the County Magistrate, we have been waiting here for you for a long time. We didn't even dare to enter the restaurant. We were just waiting for you to arrive."
Deng Ai didn't even look at him. He walked up to Zhou Peng and said, "I've met my uncle/aunt."
Zhou Peng nodded, "Yuan'er told me that it was thanks to you two that he was able to run this restaurant."
Mrs. Yue also said, "Master Deng, Master Sun, Yuan'er is lucky to have friends like you, not to mention his blessing. Even our Zhou family is very lucky."
Deng Ai smiled and said, "Auntie is serious. I will help you in."
Sun Shao stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Xiaohe, "Uncle, have you settled down at home these two days?"

After Zhou Yuan and Ma Liang wrote the letter, Ma Liang sent someone to rush to deliver money. Not only was it enough to open a restaurant, but the remaining money was more than enough to buy a courtyard and horses.
Zhou Yuan didn't worry, his parents and little sister had lived a hard life for such a long time.
Not only did he buy a courtyard inside the city, but he also bought forty acres of land outside the city. He also sent people to Yiyang City to buy two donkeys.
Zhou Peng gave a wry smile and said, "I can't do much work like this. Your aunt can't clean up so quickly by herself. She can't even cook at home. No, she has to come to a restaurant to eat."
Deng Ai on the side said, "Uncle, I wrote a letter to the king specifically. The king rewarded uncle with ten pieces of gold. I will send someone to your house later, and you can invite a few coolie maids to come back. Auntie is alone.
It’s too hard.”
Zhou Peng paused and looked at Deng Ai in disbelief, "Your Majesty, reward me with ten gold coins? Your Majesty, you still remember me, a bad old man like me?"
Deng Ai smiled and replied, "The king not only remembers you, but also claimed that if he were not busy with government affairs, he would have to come and see you in person."
"Clang!"
"thump!"
Zhou Peng threw away his crutch and staggered to his knees in the direction of Xiangyang, "How virtuous and capable are the ordinary people? They are worthy of your Majesty's concern..."

Deng Ai helped Zhou Peng, who was moved to tears, and said, "Uncle, not only you, but also every citizen of Chu State, the king is in his heart."
Zhou Peng smiled with tears in his eyes, "It's worth it, old man, my life is worth it."
As the group of people walked, Sun Shao said to Yue, "Aunt, then I will help you invite the servants and maids here later?"
Yue Shi smiled and waved her hand, "Don't bother yourself, Mr. Sun. Yuan'er has long wanted to treat us, but his father and I didn't agree. I've never seen such a big house before, so it's safer to take care of it myself."
Zhou Peng nodded and said, "Yes, my mother and I both have a low life, how can we enjoy the blessing of having others serve us?"
"What uncle and aunt said makes sense. In that case, Sun Shao is free now. I will ask him to bring a few people to help you tomorrow. This is my little idea. You two must not refuse it."
Mrs. Yue smiled so hard that her eyes were blurred, "Okay, okay, then I'll have Mr. Laosun."
De Wei Cheng, who was not far away, couldn't help but feel a little angry when he saw this scene. Then a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes, "Everyone who was about to attack just now, tie them up! Break their legs!"
