Early the next morning, Zhou Cheng led a few brothers to ask Pei Guanying to ask for peace. At that time, Steward Hu was also there, and the brothers said hello together. Hu Shiguan smiled and agreed, and then confessed and went to work.

Pei Guanying's gaze swept over Zhou Cheng and turned to the more energetic brother, and said with a smile: "It's too rusty to call the young master." I'm second in the family, so if you don't mind, call me second brother. ”

Seeing that the young man was no longer depressed, Lou Yuzhu was also really happy for him, and said: "Then we might as well be respectful." ”

Pei Guanying nodded: "It should be so." ”

Lou Yuzhu called 'Second Brother' in a kind way, and Lou Hua and Lou Ming, who were one or two years younger respectively, also shouted.

"Huh." Pei Guanying responded with a smile, got up and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to breakfast first." Zhou Cheng, you can come along, no matter how busy you are, you still have to eat breakfast. ”

Zhou Cheng nodded and followed: "Listen to the young master." ”

Hearing this, Pei Guanying glared at him helplessly: "How many times have you said it, you don't need to call me young master anymore once you redeem yourself." Call me Guanying or Pei Guanying with you. ”

"I'm used to it." Zhou Cheng touched his nose, he had been calling the title for more than ten years, and he was really not used to it. "It always takes time to change, so the young master will estimate it first."

Pei Guanying didn't have a rut, and waved his hand angrily: "Cheng, give you time!" ”

Lou Yuzhu, who was watching, smiled: "The relationship between the second brother and Brother Zhou is really good. ”

Zhou Cheng smiled, Pei Guanying looked at Lou Yuzhu and said, "Regardless of him." You come to Fucheng this time to play for a few more days, and then come back to Huya Town with me. ”

Lou Yuzhu was stunned: "Second brother doesn't go back to Beijing for the New Year?" ”

"I won't go back for the New Year, and I'll go back in the spring." Speaking of this, Pei Guanying also has ripples in his heart, but his temperament has been honed a lot after previous events, and he is not dissatisfied except for the longing for his relatives.

"What's the reason for that?"

"Well, my teacher is only free in March and April. At this time, I went back for the New Year and came back, and I had to pick up my teacher again after a month of coming back. Troublesome. If you take over the New Year and greet the New Year, you can do it in one trip. ”

How troublesome it was to go out in ancient times, Lou Yuzhu understood it yesterday, and now I still have palpitations when I think about it. "It seems that the second brother already has a number in his heart."

Pei Guanying grinned.

As they spoke, they got into a carriage and walked through the noisy street market to a two-story restaurant. Lou Yuzhu got out of the carriage and looked up at the restaurant in front of her, and said silently to the door number: "Gu Fenglou? ”

"Gu Fenglou is a century-old shop in Nanyang Mansion, famous for its exquisite craftsmanship and unique skills, especially early, there are no less than 20 kinds of noodles, each of which has a complete color, flavor and flavor." Saying that, Pei Guanying smiled: "I know that Brother Yu is a good delicacy, so I will try it later." ”

It is said that Lou Yuzhu is indeed a food lover, and he has always been tired of eating, which can be seen from the fact that he can't wait to improve his live food when he separates from the three rooms.

"The second brother is solemnly recommended, it seems that I really want to try it." Lou Yuzhu smiled, looked back at the nervous Lou Ming, and then gave Lou Hua a reassuring look, and then walked in.

Before entering the door, the shopkeeper greeted him with a smile: "Pei Gongzi is here?" ”

Pei Guanying bowed her head reservedly: "But there is still a private room?" ”

"Yes, the best Yangchun box is still reserved for Pei Gongzi!"

"Then Cheng, lead the way." Pei Guanying looked back and greeted his brother: "Eat breakfast first, after eating, Zhou Cheng will be busy, and I will take you to visit Nanyang City." ”

The shopkeeper wants to greet the road in person: "A few young masters, please." "I just haven't taken two steps before another batch of customers come outside the door. When the shopkeeper looked back, he immediately chuckled in his heart and said that it was bad.

The other party asked as soon as he entered the door, but there was still a private room, and the shopkeeper who greeted him squeaked and looked straight at the shopkeeper. The other party looked at the shopkeeper's line of sight, but he was not annoyed, but just ran out quickly, and then walked in with four young men in Chinese costumes.

This happened in a few breaths, and Pei Guanying and his party had not taken a few steps when they stepped into the door.

"Brother Pei!" While shouting, he came straight towards Pei Guanying, and came to Pei Guanying and his party in a few quick steps.

"It turned out to be Brother Li." Pei Guanying also knew someone who came.

At this time, the first few people also arrived, they all knew each other, and after a salute, Pei Guanying called Brother Li a humane: "It so happens that there is no private room here, so the younger brother is cheeky and asks Brother Pei if you can let us set up a table?" ”

Pei Guanying's eyes hesitated.

Lou Yuzhu smiled and whispered to the shopkeeper: "How many tables are there in the Yangchun private room?" Possibly add? ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly replied: "Yangchun is the largest and most prosperous private room we have here, with a full ten tables, and two can be added. ”

Lou Yuzhu nodded, and came to Pei Guanying and said with a smile: "It's better to meet by chance, since the second brother knows each other, let's set up a table, and the horizontal and vertical tables are enough." ”

Only then did the person look at the brothers, and his eyes were puzzled: "Who are these people?" "Except for Zhou Cheng, who is familiar, the other three are upright but raw, wearing cotton cloth but simple patterns, as far as he knows, Nanyang City should not have these people.

"This is a few friends from Huya Town. This is Lou Hua, this is Lou Ming, this is Lou Yuzhu. "Seeing that the brothers finished the ceremony, I just introduced a few people." This is Brother Li, Brother Liu, Brother Zhao, Brother Sun. It's a few friends I talked to in Nanyang City. ”

This time it was the other party's turn to bow his hand, Lou Hua and Lou Ming hurriedly returned the salute, Lou Yuzhu bent his knees to return the salute, but he respected Pei Guanying's personality again. The Great Yuan Dynasty advocates etiquette, but etiquette is also divided into formal and informal, and just now Pei Guanying introduced the ceremony on both sides is a more formal etiquette, which is to tell others that although their brother's status is not as noble as theirs, it is his Pei Guanying's sincere friend, which invisibly raises their identity.

Sure enough, Pei Guanying's actions made the four sons with good backgrounds immediately pay attention to their brothers. A group of people talked and laughed into the private room, and took the initiative to let the brothers order first.

Lou Yuzhu pushed: "When we first came to Nanyang City, we didn't know much about Gu Fenglou, and we didn't know what to eat, so why don't a few big brothers order it for us." I've heard the second brother say before, the breakfast here is all exquisite and distinctive, and it shouldn't be bad if you want to come to any of them. ”

Pei Guanying looked at both sides and pushed for a while, and said with a smile: "It's done, let me go here sooner, I don't have to eat it early!" I'll do some. "Saying that, it is a string of early roll calls, most of which are Gu Fenglou's signature dim sum. While the shopkeeper went down to prepare, Pei Guanying looked at the four and said with a smile: "Didn't you keep asking me who I learned mahjong from?" No, these three are the ones in front of you! ”

Seeing Lou Yuzhu raise his eyes suspiciously, Pei Guanying explained: "I have been in Nanyang City for half a month, and I taught them to play mahjong for a while, and the result is that it has been passed on to the upper circles of the entire Fucheng. ”

Lou Yuzhu couldn't help but smile, and the secret road is really worthy of being the quintessence of China for 5,000 years, and its charm is really extraordinary!

As soon as he talked about mahjong, Li Shang immediately came to his senses, and his eyes widened and stared at his brothers: "Mahjong you came up with?" ”

Mahjong master or something Lou Yuzhu didn't dare to bear, and said with a smile: "We also learned from an old man who traveled, and the other party traveled to our neighborhood for a day, saying that he was hungry, and my father and Daddy offered a meal, and then the old man taught us to play mahjong." This is a pretext that was said before the third room, and in modern times, this excuse is poked every minute, but in ancient times when there is a lack of information, it makes people believe it. Because the hermit master is not born or something, he is really high!

Li Shang said with a confident expression on his face: "It's also that you have a fate with that person, and you met him when you were born." By the way, have you asked the man what his name is? ”

"It's just a meal, it's just a gesture, so I didn't ask the other party what his name was."

I don't know who the mahjong creator is, Li Shang is a little regretful.

My friend has been obsessed with mahjong for a while, and Sun Jin, who plays well with him, knows it, and immediately persuades: "This kind of hidden master has always had a strange temperament, and if he asked the name at the beginning, he might not have taught it." ”

Li Shang thought about it, so he could only comfort himself: "That's what I said." ”

Pei Guanying glanced at Lou Yuzhu playfully, and blinked quite narrowly. How did he not know that there was such a hermit?

Lou Yuzhu cast a gaze begging for mercy. People don't want to dismantle it!

He put his hand against his lips to hide the smile at the corner of his mouth, and coughed lightly at Li Shang: "Don't you want to understand the demeanor of a master?" How about giving you a chance today? ”

"Really?" Li Shang's eyes were as bright as pearls.

"How does Brother Yu feel?"

When it came to this, Yuzhu had to nod her head.

Pei Guanying laughed heartily and clapped his head: "Cheng, it's decided." ”

After eating exquisite breakfast, I changed the table in the private room of Gu Fenglou, and the temporary mahjong room became a temporary mahjong room. Li Shang, a mahjong enthusiast, accompanied him with a mahjong polished with jade, and asked the little guy to take it from the carriage.

Zhou Cheng approached Lou Yuzhu: "I still have something to do, so I won't accompany me." You guys play. As he spoke, he secretly handed something in his hand.

Lou Yuzhu touched it, and after realizing that it was a silver ticket, she stuffed it into her sleeve, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhou is busy, so I won't send it." ”

After a while, the table was set, mahjong was served, and Pei Guanying ordered. He has one, Li Shang is one, and Lou Yuzhu must be served, and there is still one missing.

Lou Hua pulled Lou Ming back and said that he was still not involved.

Pei Guanying's eyes swept over Liu Qi, Sun Jin, and Zhao You, and finally Zhao You recommended himself: "Then I'll come." ”

The four of them served the table, and a servant brought dried fruits and snacks, and Huang Ying hurriedly begged the servant who served the tea for a cup of tea and brought it to the small table on the left hand side of Lou Yuzhu.

Lou Yuzhu held up the tea cup with her left hand, pinched the tea lid with her right hand and plucked the floating tea leaves, and took a small sip.

Pei Guanying was stunned, and then smiled and said, "How about we draw Hu if we don't fight?" ”

Lou Yuzhu put down the teacup. "I'm okay with that."

The master has no opinion, and the two technical mediocre ones have no opinion.

Soon the Great Wall of Mahjong for four people was built. You come and go, you eat and I touch, you touch my beard, you hu and I rob my beard, and the one that rubs is called a hot one. Liu Qi and Sun Shang originally stood behind Li Shang to watch the cards, but then they unconsciously stood behind Lou Yuzhu, but they were dazzled but didn't see anything famous, feeling that their IQ was crushed, and they still didn't look for abuse and changed to Zhao You.

Lou Ming was a little impatient here, and wanted to push open the window to look outside, but he was worried that the cold would pour in, and he kept moving like a nail in his butt for a while. Lou Hua was stunned, but he was a little frightened when he looked at the game that was often ten taels, so he simply couldn't see it and wanted to take Lou Ming out of business.

The two brothers are not familiar with each other, and Lou Yuzhu is a little worried.

Pei Guanying didn't say anything, Li Shang didn't raise his head and continued to build the Great Wall: "This is easy to do, just send a few small servants to follow." With them, not to mention walking sideways, but at least the black and white ones didn't dare to move forward. "The so-called seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, although he is not the prime minister, but his father is the boss in Nanyang Mansion, which person who doesn't know each other dares to offend the people of his mansion?

Lou Yuzhu, a powerful son or something, liked it the most, and said with a smile: "Then thank you Brother Li." Li Shang waved his hand to express his gratitude, and Lou Yuzhu said to Lou Hua and Lou Ming: "Big brother and second brother, let's go." Remember to bring gifts to Daddy and Daddy, and don't forget Grandpa and Grandpa's house. "In his previous life, he was not interested in visiting the prosperous and developed commercial street, let alone this backward street that did not even have a sidewalk, so he was really not interested in shopping. It's more practical to generate income!

This mahjong game was played from morning to noon, and continued at noon and evening, and then played until it was dark. Just having dinner in Gu Fenglou, Pei Guanying rolled his eyes and Li Shang, who still wanted to continue, said angrily: "You don't have to rest, we still have to rest!" ”

Li Shang then put his mind away.

It costs a lot of money to consume a day, but there is no need for the brothers to worry, and there are people rushing to check out.

The line parted ways, and Lou Yuzhu got into the carriage and poked out the silver tickets to count. Zhou Cheng gave the capital of five hundred taels of silver before, and now he has won a lot in addition to the principal.

Guan Peiying also counted his own, and took out a fifty taels of Sailou jade beads in his hand: "I won five hundred taels, give fifty taels of dividends." "At the poker table, Lou Yuzhu made a lot of cards for him, otherwise it would be a piece of cake to kill them with the opponent's card skills, not a big winner like now.

"I also won one hundred and twenty-five taels, and the second brother doesn't need to pay dividends." In order not to offend people, this archway jade bead did take a lot of thought. To release water to make cards, but also to calculate the win or lose, but it is really a lot of brain cells.

"If you want to take it, you can take it, unless it's too little."

"That's done. Listen to the second brother. ”
