Chapter 329, Yelu Zongzheng
"Who says it's not, don't talk about you, even the business of our "Hongyunju" has become extremely bleak, in the past, our "Hongyunju" not to mention the lobby, even the private rooms on the second and third floors are full every day, now, ah, when it is good, you can come to ten tables and eight tables of guests a day, when you are few, you can't see a person all day, and if it goes on like this, I think our "Hongyunju" is almost unbearable. www.biquge.info The shopkeeper who was sitting at the counter and settling accounts heard the complaint, so he simply threw away the abacus in his hand and came over to chat with these merchants.
"Shopkeeper Wu, as a person from the Liao Kingdom, arranges his own state affairs on his own territory, so he is not afraid that the official personnel will hear about the stubble that came to you and sealed your restaurant?" One of the businessmen in his forties couldn't help but joke about the shopkeeper when he saw this, obviously, these people have a good relationship with the shopkeeper of "Hongyunju".
"Hongyunju" is the most famous restaurant in Shuozhou, their shop not only has good service, good dishes, even the price is very close to the people, the consumption of the lobby, many civilians to consume once or twice a month is not a big problem, it is said that Shuozhou's "Hongyunju" is just a branch, their head office is in Beijing, the boss behind the scenes is very mysterious, we don't know who the specific person is, the Wu shopkeeper in front of him is just the second shopkeeper of "Hongyunju", and the old customers who are familiar with "Hongyunju" know that they also have a big shopkeeper surnamed Xiao.
Xiao and Yelu are the two largest surnames in Liao, of which Yelu is the national surname, Xiao is the surname of the descendants, of course, the native Liao people themselves only have two surnames, one is Yelu, the other is Xiao, not all people with the surname Yelu or Xiao are related to the royal family or descendants, this Xiao big shopkeeper is mainly responsible for the "Hongyunju" in Beijing
Shuozhou's "Hongyunju" most of the time is managed by the second shopkeeper Wu Yong, Wu Yong is forty this year, their ancestors are Han people, forty years ago the family came to Liao, and now Wu Yong's family is an authentic Liao person.
"What happened to the Liaoren? Liao people don't have to eat? I'm a businessman, all I want is to be able to do business with peace of mind, and now this battle is fought, taxes are rising, not to mention, there are not a few customers in the restaurant, I can't complain about it. The shopkeeper subconsciously raised his eyes and looked around, but he didn't see the official people, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and then opened his mouth with a straight face.
"Well said, for us businessmen, what we are most looking forward to is that the world is peaceful, only when the world is peaceful, we can do business in peace, and now this soldier is together, the strength of the two sides of Song and Liao is about the same, and I don't know when we will fight, and we don't know if there will be a chance to enter Shuozhou City again next time." Jiang Jingxuan answered on the side.
"Are these two guests new faces? Why, didn't you come to Shuozhou often before? Shopkeeper Wu heard Jiang Jingxuan's voice, turned his eyes to look at him, and found that there were two unfamiliar faces in his eyes, so he couldn't help but squint slightly and asked.
Wu Er's shopkeeper can become the second shopkeeper of "Hongyunju", but he is not a person who has no origin, there are people in his family who are officials in the court, although his ancestors are Han, but he came to Liao at the age of three, and now the family is Liao, in his heart, Liao is his homeland, as a Liao, and in this sensitive period, suddenly saw a strange Han face, he subconsciously will think with the thinking of the Liao, will the other party be a spy of the Song people?
The Liao and Song dynasties have not been at war for more than 30 years, in normal times, there are many trade contacts between the two sides, and there is no hatred between the common people of the two countries.
Jiang Jingxuan's current appearance is seven or eight years older than his original appearance, with two beards on his mouth, a calm temperament with a bit of shrewdness, and he looks quite a bit of a businessman, but because he and Zhao Zhen are both fresh faces, Shopkeeper Wu still paid special attention to it.
"I've been here a few times before, and I've eaten twice in your building, but when I entered your building, it was when your business was booming, at that time, Wu's shopkeeper was mostly in the center of the internal scheduling, and he didn't have the time to inspect the hall, so naturally he didn't see me, I remember the two times I came in, and the one who collected the account in front of your store was a beautiful lady who liked purple clothes." Jiang Jingxuan took over with a smile.
"Oh, it turns out that it's really an old customer, but my old Wu is clumsy, please forgive me, you're talking about Mrs. Ziling, she was transferred to Beijing this spring, after she left, the war began, the war together, the business of the restaurant is not good, in the matter, we are simply too lazy to ask Mr. Bill, I will replace this position by myself." Shopkeeper Wu sighed softly, and then smiled.
Due to the identity of the Liao people and the relationship between the family and the Liao official, in this sensitive period, when he sees an unfamiliar face, he will subconsciously pay more attention to it and ask a few words, but he is not the official person who is responsible for investigating the spies after all, as long as it is confirmed that this face has indeed been in and out of Shuozhou before, he will not do too much investigation, in his own words, he is a businessman, and the businessman should be harmonious and make money, instead of constantly interrogating guests like a prisoner, as for other things, he has his own full-time personnel to do.
"Merchants who have been doing business with Liao for a long time will run to Shuozhou almost every year, this gentleman, I have only been here three or twice for many years, obviously there are not many transactions with my Liao, and a merchant who does not have much trade with Liao has chosen to run in at this time, but I don't know what kind of considerations this gentleman has?" Jiang Jingxuan was about to answer, but he didn't want to be interrupted by an unfamiliar voice.
As soon as this voice came out, the guests in the lobby subconsciously turned their heads to look over, Jiang Jingxuan and Zhao Zhen were no exception, and in a blink of an eye, they saw a young man in a black fur suit walking in from the door, he must have stood at the door for a while, otherwise, he would not have heard the conversation between Jiang Jingxuan and the shopkeeper Wu.
He looked at the age of about seventeen or eighteen years old, long and jade, handsome and handsome, dressed in a black fur suit, covered with fox fur of the same color, and a piece of topaz hanging under the belt, although he was not very old, there was a terrifying nobility all over the body, Jiang Jingxuan and Zhao Zhen did not know this person, but they didn't know each other, Wu shopkeeper obviously knew, he saw this young man, he was slightly surprised, and hurriedly got up to greet him: "Wu Yong has seen the king of Zhongshan County!" ”
Jiang Jingxuan and Zhao Zhen heard Wu Yong's title, and couldn't help but be surprised, they didn't know the young man in front of them, but they knew the name of the king of Zhongshan County, Yelu Chage, the king of Zhongshan County, the Han name Yelu Zongzheng, was the son of Yelu Longqing, the younger brother of Liao Shengzong, and was famous when he was young, and was deeply loved by the Holy Sect, and the Holy Sect named him the king of Zhongshan County when he was thirteen years old.
