The most famous restaurant in Taizhou City is none other than Zuixiang Building. This place that makes Qin Daixin feel that the name is like a green building, with a good location, good location, luxurious decoration, and no civilian route, and the people who come here are not rich and expensive. The dishes of this Zuixianglou are exquisite, the ingredients are fresh, and all the dishes are carefully studied by their chef Shi Yiguo. The most famous thing about Zuixianglou is its wine, known as the good wine produced by the century-old brand, which is only available in its own restaurant, and it cannot be bought with money outside, which shows its rarity. Therefore, this is a place for rich and noble people to enjoy, and it is better for the common people to stay away from here.

It has always been like a market, and people in gorgeous clothes and beautiful clothes are constantly in and out of the drunken fragrance building, and they don't know why they are closed for a day without reason. Many passers-by looked at the doors and windows closed, and only posted a note on the door that read, "The owner has something to do, and the business is closed for a day" and secretly wondered, the owner didn't know what was the big thing, and it was closed, how much silver would be lost!

What they didn't know was that outside the corner gate of an inconspicuous courtyard in the alley behind, there were several big black-faced men, all of them with tigers on their backs, as strong as a cow, and the police felt that they were watching the movements around them. And that inconspicuous yard is the backyard of Zuixiang Building.

In the most luxurious private room on the second floor of Zuixiang Building, several well-dressed people who looked like they were either rich or noble were sitting around and drinking and talking.

At the head was a young man wearing a royal blue Fu Zi Tuan pattern collared Confucian shirt, no more than thirty years old, with a black face and no beard, a jade crown and a white jade belt tied around his waist. Although the whole person is dressed like a rich and noble literati, but this person has slender fingers, distinct bone joints, calluses on the palm and knuckles, insiders can see at a glance that it is caused by holding a sword for many years, his eyes are sharp and have a sharp edge that is rare for ordinary people, it can be seen that this person has not only practiced martial arts for many years, but also killed a lot.

On the left side of this person sat an old man about fifty years old, with a round face and a long beard, and his body was shining with gold, and after a closer look, he found that he not only wore a white jade wrench, a jade ring as green as blue waves, but even the clothes were embroidered with gold thread Ruyi Chengxiang, not to mention the other solid pure gold hairpins on his head that were four or five taels of solid pure gold to make longevity peach tired branch hairpins.

This person has a blessed face, a pair of narrow eyes on his white and round fat face, and the whole person looks amiable, but in fact, he doesn't know that this person is nicknamed "Smiling Tiger", and he will hide a knife in his smile the most. Few of the people who have dealt with him can get out of the way without suffering a loss.

But at this time, in this person's eyes, there was no light of calculation at all, and his face was also flattering, for fear that the young man in front of him would be unhappy and ruin the foundation he had worked so hard to build a life.

"Tall, I'll give you a drink." The white fat man looked flattering, personally poured wine for the young man in royal blue clothes on the side, and then poured a glass for himself, and said, "Contemptible people do it first for respect, Lord Gao, please." After speaking, he raised the wine glass in his hand and drank it all.

The young man hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, and said, "Why do you want to see the outside like this, you and I both work for the prince, so you don't have to be like this." After speaking, he drank all the wine in the cup.

This white fat man, isn't it Qi Fugui?

The Qi family is a big family in the north, originally relying on the warehouse business, selling mountain goods and skins, and later took advantage of the geographical location and relied on the endless mountains in the north to start a medicinal material business. At first, it was just a small fight, providing medicinal materials to some pharmacies, but later the business became bigger and bigger, in addition to the growing team of medicine pickers, there were more and more masters who concocted medicinal materials. The Qi family simply did not do anything, not only supplying the medicinal materials to the major medicinal material merchants in the north and south, but also leaving the high-quality and high-quality products, opening up all the links and sending them to the palace. After coming and going, the Qi family sat firmly on the throne of the imperial merchant, specializing in the fine ginseng and other valuable medicinal materials in the palace.

Qi Fugui is really rich, there is a seat in his Qi family in the four major families of Dayongguo, which is a beautiful life with infinite scenery in the eyes of others, but Qi Fugui has no taste. In the final analysis, the Qi family is just an imperial businessman, in addition to money, where can their status go? In the eyes of those high-ranking adults, their family is nothing more than nouveau riche who exudes the smell of copper.

Qi Fugui now wants not only to be rich and noble, but also to want the Qi family to produce a lifter. The three sons-in-law are all good, if he can open up some doors, with the qualifications of the descendants of the Qi family, it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be a marquis in the future. Thinking of this, Qi Fugui's spirit was a little fuller, as if he had seen the day when he took the descendants of the Qi family and glorified the lintel.

"That's a bad thing!" Qi Fugui said: "How can we be compared with Lord Gao!" In the light of flowing light, it is really a blessing to be able to serve the prince! Tall and humane, he is the first powerful person around the prince, and it is really an honor for us to be able to drink with the tall people. ”

"That's exactly what I said."

Echoing this man, he sat on Gao Liren's right hand, about twenty-five or sixteen years old, born with red lips and white teeth, the appearance of a jade-faced son, his hair was tied up high with a red gold crown, and he wore a white brocade shirt embroidered with a pair of ink landscapes, and on the outside of this shirt, he was covered with a coat made of light cyan tulle. Although the material is not expensive, but it is also good, it is rare that he is the embroidery of the clothes, the style is chic, the workmanship is exquisite, from the thread to the technique are not mortals can embroider, must have invited a few of the most famous embroiderers, together with the strength of several people to spend months of work, in order to become such a piece.

This person is none other than Li Zhi, the eldest son of the Li family in Jiangdong. Although the Jiangdong Li family is the head of the four major families, this Li Zhi is a junior after all, and when he meets Qi Fugui, he still has to call him "uncle", so he naturally sits on the lower right of Gao Liren.

"Uncle Qi's words are reasonable, the prestige of the tall man, who in the four seas does not know, who does not know? Why should you be too humble! "Jiangdong Li family, talented, although this Li Zhi is not a virtuous person, but also not a mediocre person, although this Gao Liren may not be as good as they say, but the scene always has to be said, the business is still false and real, true or false is difficult to argue, not to mention that this Gao Liren's words are likely to be directly related to whether the relationship between his Li family and King Qing'an can go further, and it is a matter of importance, he naturally has to deal with it with the spirit of twelve points.

This tall man, isn't it the tall man who led people to search the Qin Mansion.

Gao Liren has been in the officialdom for many years, and he can't see that these two people have a plan, but the relationship between them is just using each other, so there is no need to debunk these scenes.

"The two of you have a good reputation, and I just did my duty and dutifully followed the prince's side."

Qi Fugui said again: "This is even more rare, in these years, it is easy to do anything, but it is difficult to do one's duty." Now that the tall man is in an important position, he can still be so humble, how can he not let him admire him! After speaking, he gave a look to a young man next to him, the limelight can't be snatched away by the surnamed Li!

"Daddy's words are very right, tall man, you are not very old, but you have already achieved such an achievement, it is really embarrassing." Qi Meng is Qi Fugui's second son, and this time he followed Qi Fugui to Taizhou to open his eyes. The officials he came into contact with in the past, large and small, either looked at people with a high eye and did not look at people properly, or they wanted to get some benefits from the Qi family. There are really not many opportunities to make some gains like today, and to make connections.

Li Zhi smiled and said sarcastically: "Brother Qi Xian doesn't have to worry about it, Master Gao is a beautiful son among people, and he must be successful and famous, and he can do something vigorous, how can anyone compare." ”

How could Qi Meng not know that his words were sarcastic? It's just that in front of Gao Liren, it's not good to have a seizure, so I have to do it. secretly wrote a note to Li Zhi in his heart, thinking that it was not certain who would win and who would lose in the future!

Gao Liren has been smiling, maintaining an attitude of not advancing oil and salt, and the Qi and Li families, who were singing and harmonizing just now, will secretly be more energetic, it can be seen that the word is the head, where is there any true feelings!

Gao Liren said: "Although this wine is good, but the energy is also great, I drank a little too much today, and my hair is dizzy." I'm not afraid of a few jokes, I'm not a regular drinker, and I'm really a bit too strong to drink. ”

Several people hurriedly said: "How dare you." ”

Qi Fugui said again: "Since the adults are uncomfortable, I will retire first." ”

Gao Liren hugged his fists and said: "I'm sorry, everyone, I'm disappointed today, and I will definitely set up another banquet another day to have a good drink with you." ”

Everyone thanked them again, rushed out, and the gifts were prepared early in the morning, although they were rejected by Gao Liren many times, but in the end they were put in the carriage he was riding.

Qi Fugui was wide and fat, and it took him a long time to stand firm, probably because he drank wine, and he was also drunk, Li Zhi saw it, and secretly laughed at it, only said goodbye to Gao Liren, and said a few polite words to the Qi family, and turned around and went downstairs.

When people walked away, Qi Fugui gave Qi Meng a look, and the latter understood, and walked to the side of the stairs to look at the wind. Qi Fugui turned around and stuffed Gao Liren with a box painted red with red paint, but it was only a foot long, and it was always placed under his seat, because he was fat and his robe was wide, and he couldn't tell that he was hiding something.

"Master Qi, what do you mean?" Gao Liren pretended to be surprised, but in fact, he knew very well in his heart that Qi Fugui must have done this for that matter.

"Don't blame adults, think carefully, don't pay respect." Qi Fugui lightly untied the red rope tied to the box, and opened the box again, revealing a ginseng with a delicate posture and limbs.

Qi Fugui gently handed it to Gao Liren and said, "My lord, please take a look." ”

Gao Liren saw that this ginseng has five shapes and six bodies, and he knows that it is of the highest grade, and I am afraid that such a ginseng has been around for many years.

"This ginseng must be long, old and tough, round and long and flat, round and regular in shape, old and shiny skin, and rough horizontal lines." Qi Fugui smiled, "This is a long time ago, it has been a hundred years. ”

It's really a good ginseng.

Qi Fugui looked speechless, and when he saw that Gao Liren did not refuse, he was overjoyed, and then asked: "My lord, I just want to ask, why did the prince let my Qi family marry the Qin family?" ”

ps: Forgive me, the officials, yesterday was snowing, there was a problem with the electricity in my house, and the child is small, so I forgive you for not going to the Internet café!
