Chapter Eighty-Three: Going to the Banquet Alone

The last time he went to Xiangguo's Mansion for a banquet was different, this time LΓΌ Buwei just invited Meng Tian and told him separately that he couldn't bring anyone with him this time. Although Meng Tian didn't want to do this, it was not the time to fall out with Lu Buwei, so he agreed to him and would go to the banquet alone in the evening.

Before going out, Zi Yanran was not worried about Meng Tian going alone, and asked him to go with a few personal soldiers, Meng Tian smiled and said that if he couldn't protect himself, then it would be the same to bring a few more people, and besides, the banquet of drunken Xiangyu tonight The entire court minister knew that now I am afraid that the one who does not want to have an accident with him is Lu Buwei, otherwise it will be the target of everyone.

Saying goodbye to his father, mother and Zi Yanran and leaving the house, Meng Tian rode the black wind on the road to Zuixiangyu. The location of Zuixiangyu is in the center of Xianyang City to the east of the palace, which is where the wealthy merchants of Xianyang City live, according to the current land price of Xianyang City, it can be said that every inch of land is not an exaggeration, not to mention the three-storey building that covers a wide area of Zuixiangyu. Although it is rumored that the biggest backstage of Drunken Xiangyu is the current Lord Xiangguo, Xiangguo Mansion has not spoken out to deny it, so the fact that the biggest boss of Drunken Xiangyu is Lord Xiangguo is already a tacit matter for the people of Xianyang City.

Since this drunken Xiangyu occupies a wide area, the background is big scary, the price of wine and food in it is naturally expensive, there was an official from Shu to Xianyang City to report on work, during which he had a meal to Drunken Xiangyu, and when he finally checked out, he actually found that he brought ten taels of gold that were not enough for his own food, and finally he was forced to take the name of Lord Xiangguo, and wrote an IOU to draw a charge before walking out of the door of Drunken Xiangyu. On the second day, someone mentioned this matter to Lord Xiangguo, who just smiled lightly and said that the officials of Shu were so rich that they could carry ten taels of gold with them, and they must not be people who could not afford to eat a meal. Later, I heard that the Shu official returned to his hometown after finishing his work, and since then, the reputation of drunken Xiangyu one or two golden dishes has spread all over Xianyang City.

Before Meng Tian walked to the door of the drunken Xiangyu, he could ask for a fragrance from a long distance, needless to say, he knew that it was the fragrance coming from the drunken Xiangyu. When Meng Tian really walked to the door of Zuixiangyu, he found that there were still a lot of people eating at Zuixiangyu, the carriage parked at the door, and the horses worth hundreds of gold, blocked the door tightly. Meng Tian was amazed, the rich people in Xianyang City are still living well.

Meng Tian may not know, such as today's economic center has gradually shifted to Qin, the Central Plains vassal states have been fighting for years, today you fight me, tomorrow I will attack you, although it is a tacit matter among the princes that the caravans between countries are not allowed to attack at will, but there are still deserters on the battlefield and stragglers who have left the army, these people are the biggest enemies of the caravan. The strength of Qin is now the most powerful among the vassal states, and the Qin country is far away from the war, so the price level of the Qin state has always been very stable, many other vassal countries caravans came to the Qin country, attracted by the business environment of the Qin state, so there are many rich merchants who moved to Xianyang, and it is with these merchants that the tax revenue of Xianyang City has been rising in recent years.

The guy who received the guests at the door of Drunken Xiangyu saw Meng Tian early, not to mention, at least that sweaty BMW is now unique in the entire Xianyang City, except for a few in the palace, but King Qin generally does not leave the palace, so Meng Tian's identity is self-evident.

The man recognized Meng Tian and stepped forward from a distance to lead the horse for Meng Tian. Meng Tian rode on the back of Hei Feng, but he didn't expect that a guy from a restaurant would also know him, so he didn't refuse, and followed the guy to the door of Drunken Xiangyu on horseback.

When he arrived at the door, Meng Tian dismounted, the man took the black wind away, and Meng Tian entered the door by himself. There are rich businessmen at the door who don't know Meng Tian, and they have asked the people next to them who this person is, who doesn't know that the price of drunken Xiangyu is high, and even the guys below have high eyelids, but they didn't expect that they would be willing to lead horses today, which is a rare thing.

Meng Tian is not yet fifteen this year, usually either at home or in the palace, and has spent most of this year in the army, so people in Xianyang City may have heard of the name Meng Tian, but few people have seen Meng Tian.

Meng Tian entered the drunken Xiangyu, and as soon as he entered, he found that he still underestimated this restaurant. The drunken Xiangyu in Yongcheng felt that it was already very luxurious after entering by himself, but it still seemed a little stingy compared to this drunken Xiangyu, not to mention that the hall of the entire restaurant was the size of his own yard as soon as he entered the door, and the whole restaurant was brightly lit, but I don't know how much lamp oil was wasted in one night. There is a high platform built in the hall of the drunken fish, and there are singers dancing on it to cheer up the guests who come to eat.

A somewhat bewitching woman dressed in a certain way came to Meng Tian's side, Meng Tian saw that the clothes on her body only covered some important parts of the woman, and the rest was only covered with a thin layer of light veil, Meng Tian glanced at the woman and never looked at her again. Seeing that this person was not the same as the other guests who came in to eat, the woman seemed to have no interest in herself at all, and her long-cultivated temper came up, and she asked coldly, "Is this guest here for dinner?"

Meng Tian heard that the woman's tone changed so quickly, and he was a little angry in his heart, and said in the same cold voice: "Nonsense, what am I doing here if I don't come to dinner?"

Seeing that this person's temper was even stronger than herself, the woman was even more angry, and said, "The price of our food and wine here is not low, can you afford it?"

"Someone has come to invite me to dinner, or you think I'm coming back to you. ”

"Who, who will invite you to dinner?" The woman saw that the clothes and fabrics Meng Tian was wearing were very ordinary, but she just regarded him as a person who had never seen the world, and couldn't help but ridicule Meng Tian.

Before the woman finished speaking, she was slapped and fell to the ground, and when she looked up, she saw that it was the shopkeeper of Drunken Xiangyu who slapped herself, and her boss forgot the pain on her face for a while and sat on the ground.

"You idiot, even General Meng doesn't know, and you dare to say such a shameless thing, hurry up and pack up my things and get out, don't let me see you again in Drunken Xiangyu." The shopkeeper was angry at the woman, and then turned his face and said to Meng Tian with a pleasant face: "Young General, I'm really sorry, I was disturbed by a thing that doesn't have long eyes, I hope you have a lot, don't blame." ”

Meng Tian didn't look at the woman sitting on the ground, but said, "It's okay, Lord Xiangguo said tonight that he wanted to celebrate my merit, and I came to the banquet specially." I think this woman is also very pitiful, so don't embarrass her. ”

The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed, "This ......"

Meng Tian said, "Then why don't I go and tell Lord Xiangguo?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly waved his hand, "How can this little thing trouble Lord Xiangguo." Then he looked at the woman on the ground and said in a cold voice: "From today on, you don't want to receive guests in the front garden, go to the back kitchen to help." ”

The woman was so frightened that she couldn't possess her body, and hurriedly got up and was about to leave. The shopkeeper said: "What are you doing in such a hurry, don't thank Master Meng quickly, if it wasn't for Lord Meng to speak for you, I would have sent someone to throw you out." The woman hurriedly knelt down for Meng Tian and kept kowtowing, until the shopkeeper waved her hand, and the woman retreated.

The shopkeeper saw that the matter had been resolved, and then dismissed the guests who came to watch the dinner, and took Meng Tian all the way up to the third floor, and when he arrived at the door of a room on the third floor, he said to Meng Tian respectfully: "General Meng, Xiangye is already waiting inside, and the villain will go down first." ”

Meng Tian pushed open the door, and was suddenly blinded by a golden light in front of him, blocking his eyes to adapt to it before opening his eyes, only to see that as soon as he entered the door of this room, there was a screen, and the screen was actually embroidered with gold wire, and it was also a good gold wire, under the reflection of the candlelight, no wonder he would dazzle himself.

"Is it General Meng?" Xiangguo Lu Buwei's words came from behind the screen.

Meng Tian bypassed the screen and entered the house, which turned out to have more space inside. Lord Xiangguo stood up under the service of several maids and walked towards him. Meng Tian bent down and saluted, saying, "The last general has seen Lord Xiangguo. ”
