"Brother Yuan Hui doesn't have to be so sentimental, how can everything be smooth in this world?" Liu Qiyuan raised the sleeve of his right hand as he spoke, raised his chopsticks and picked up a piece of meat and chewed it. After he swallowed the wine in his glass, he continued:

"Anti-thieves, the court naturally wants to exterminate them. As for how many people have suffered and even died innocently... This is also a helpless thing. There are always people who don't know whether they are alive or dead, and they want to drag others to die with them, and they can't complain about the court. ”

You Yuanhui looked at Liu Qiyuan, who was eating wine and food, and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, Brother Qiyuan is too right." Come, come, let's drink. ”

You Yuanhui rushed to the previous compassionate appearance, picked up the wine jug and poured the two of them full wine glasses.

"Don't talk about these hurtful things. Come, Brother Qiyuan, little brother toasts you. ”

The two of them had another cup of underbelly.

"Brother Qiyuan, I heard that this short-haired thief is about to come to our Jiangning Mansion, I don't know if you have heard of it?" When a warm current rose in the lower abdomen of the wine, You Yuanhui suddenly leaned over to Liu Qiyuan and asked in a low voice.

With You Yuanhui's tone, Liu Qiyuan also lowered his voice and replied: "Brother Yuanhui, since you asked, I will tell you secretly!" I heard from my father that the short-haired thieves are now on the border of Jiangning Mansion, although I don't understand why they haven't fought yet, but..."

"Then Jiangning Mansion will close the city gate..."Hearing that the bandit army was about to hit Jiangning Mansion, You Yuanhui couldn't help but feel nervous, and anxiously interrupted Liu Qiyuan's words.

“……”

"Tuk tuk..."

Just as Liu Qiyuan was about to answer You Yuanhui, there was a slight knock on the door suddenly.

Liu Qiyuan and You Yuanhui were startled by this sudden knock on the door, only to see You Yuanhui hurriedly vigilantly asked at the door, "Who is it?" What's the matter? ”

"Hello, sir. I'm the shopkeeper Huang Laicai, I have an urgent matter to discuss with the guest officer, I don't know if it is convenient for the small one to come in now? ”

After the two of them rectified a little, You Yuanhui replied, "Come in!" ”

"Okay, little thank you, guest officer."

As the door opened, a neatly dressed shopkeeper entered. The facial features are also decent, but the uncovered money slingtail on the head doesn't feel beautiful no matter how you look at it.

Even if you face too many ugly things, you will get used to it if you spit out and spit it out.

But seeing that the whip on Huang Laicai's head was swinging from side to side with his body when he entered the house, how did the two of them feel disgusted. This is really difficult for the two people who have to wear melon skin hats outside to accept.

How is this different from exhibitionism?

Shame, it's better to cover it up.

With such an ugly appearance, he doesn't know how to wear a melon skin hat to cover it, he is really an inferior person.

"The little one has seen the two masters, and I'm sorry to disturb the two masters' meals." After entering the house, Huang Laicai bowed respectfully to the two of them.

"What's the matter with you? If you can't name one, so it turns out, don't blame me for not being polite to you. You Yuanhui was suddenly disturbed by Huang Laicai, and his mood was already very bad. Coupled with the contempt for Huang Laicai, there is naturally no good tone.

"Master, I'm really sorry. It's not that the little one deliberately disturbs the two masters' meals, but there is a reason for it, and the shopkeeper has no way..."Listening to the guest's unkind tone, Huang Laicai hurriedly explained.

"Well, I don't want to listen to your nonsense. Let's talk about it! What is it? Seeing Huang Laicai's chattering appearance, You Yuanhui stretched out his hand to interrupt him and asked.

If it weren't for that, looking at Huang Laicai's appearance, he was ready to kneel down and say another nonsense such as an eighty-year-old mother waiting to be fed.

"Thank you. That's right, my shopkeeper just received a message from General Manchengwu. said that he would have a banquet for VIPs in the restaurant in a while, and asked us to clean the restaurant immediately now, without the slightest neglect..."Huang Laicai hurriedly replied as if he had been released.

"General Manchengwu? Before You Yuanhui could turn around, he heard Liu Qiyuan ask: "But General Wuhetuo of Manchuria?" ”

"Exactly." Huang Laicai replied respectfully.

"Brother Yuanhui, this is really 'slack'." Liu Qiyuan said to You Yuanhui.

Liu Qiyuan's words instantly made You Yuanhui sort out the powerful relationship. Indeed, if you dare to shirk with the store here. When the shopkeeper reported the matter, he really couldn't eat and walked around.

This world is full of people, and the garrison generals in the city want to kill themselves as easy as stepping on ants?

You Yuanhui, who understood, immediately thanked Liu Qiyuan, and then asked Huang Laicai to arrange the settlement.

"Thank you for your understanding. The shopkeeper just said, although there is a reason for it, but after all, the store can't live with everyone. Therefore, the meals and drinks spent this time will be charged at a 50% discount, which can be regarded as an apology for everyone's sins. Huang Laicai said at the time of settlement.

"Alright, let's tell me how much silver it is!" You Yuanhui interrupted Huang Laicai's words again and said impatiently.

"Master, your table of food and wine is a total of two taels and one silver. After folding according to the shopkeeper, I will charge you 1,500 yuan. The shopkeeper replied sharply.

"Na, this is two taels of silver, take it and settle it!" You Yuanhui took out a piece of broken silver from his waist and threw it to the shopkeeper.

"Okay, sir. Please wait a while, the little one will go down and let the shopkeeper get you back the silver. The shopkeeper immediately showed his signature smile and shouted happily.

"Go ahead!" You Yuanhui waved his hand in response.

When Huang Laicai turned around and was about to walk to the door, he suddenly turned around and asked You Yuanhui, "That's right, this master." Don't know if you need to pack these snacks and drinks? If you want to pack it, I would like to bring you some oiled paper for packing, so that you can take it away later. ”

"Packing? Not packed. What to hit the bag. Huang Laicai's words made You Yuanhui feel greatly insulted, and screamed like a cat that had suddenly stepped on its tail.

Don't look at You Yuanhui's words so generous and decent, in fact, his heart is very painful at the moment.

Although the food and drinks on this table are discounted, they cost a lot of money after all. More than 1,500 wen is enough to pay an ordinary worker for nearly ten days. This table of wine and meat is about to leave without much to eat, You Yuanhui always feels that he has suffered a lot, so naturally he has no good temper.

Although Liu Qiyuan's tone was very polite, it sounded like a natural voice to Huang Laicai.

He doesn't want this table of wine and food, can't he ask for it himself?

As for those who are not angry, what does it matter? You can't eat it for dinner.

If you are not the emperor, how can you not be angry? Even his own shopkeeper is often angry, not to mention that he is just a small shopkeeper.

Just be barked at by a mad dog, this man... Can you still get along with a dog?

Huang Laicai had just secretly looked at the wine and food on their table, but he hadn't moved much. If you can ask for it to go home, your wife and children will not be happy.

So, Huang Laicai was about to ignore You Yuanhui's unkind tone to him, and wanted to ask You Yuanhui for the rest of the meal. However, at this time, he heard Liu Qiyuan on the side say:

"Brother Yuan Hui's words are wrong, the taste of this table of wine and food is not bad. If you can pack it, why not pack it back? Even if you can't eat it, you can give it to your subordinates, so there's really no need to waste it. ”

It is true that people who are not really rich and noble in this era do not necessarily have wine and meat to eat, let alone those who are inferior.

The people were very happy to get some of the leftover food and soup from the host's meal, and if they could eat a few pieces of meat, they could be happy for a few days. As for whether it is packed back for the next people to eat, everyone is also tacit.

"What Brother Qiyuan said is reasonable, Yuan Hui has been taught. A diligent family is rich and prosperous. In that case, shop junior, then pack it up. ”

You Yuanhui touted Liu Qiyuan again. In Huang Youcai's opinion, these two people are so disgusting.

"Okay, that's the case, wait a minute, the two masters, I'll go down." Huang Youcai shouted with a smile on his face, then turned around and closed the door and walked out. When he walked out of the door, the smile on his face immediately returned.

"Phew, two hypocritical guys, make Ye Bai happy. But it's still easy to use the name of the adult, and no one dares to make trouble. If only I could be in the flag. ”

After seeing Huang Laicai leave, You Yuanhui lowered his voice again and asked Liu Qiyuan: "Brother Qiyuan, this city gate..."

"Let's put it this way, if you don't go out of the city, you can stock up on as much grain as you want." saw Liu Qiyuan drink a glass of wine again, looked at the door with some melancholy and said.

"Now that the momentum of the court is in full swing, this short-haired thief is just a disease of ringworm after all. With the deep walls of Jiangning Mansion, hundreds of thousands of soldiers surnamed Zheng Chenggong of Nanming Kingdom could not be attacked, let alone a group of mud legs who had just taken a knife. ”

"However, the short-haired thief is now powerful after all. In order to avoid its edge, it is indispensable for the imperial court to come to besiege the city. As for how long it will be, it is not good to say, and then the oil and grain in the city will be on fire..."Liu Qiyuan stopped at this point.

"Little brother understands, Brother Xie Qiyuan instructs." You Yuanhui bowed to Liu Qiyuan knowingly.

"You two brothers, you don't have to be like this." Liu Qiyuan returned the salute with a smile.

After a while, Huang Laicai brought the recovered half a penny of silver and the oil paper used for packing to pack for You Yuanhui.

Looking at this plate of meat and vegetables that had not been touched much, Huang Laicai couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If it weren't for the guy next to me who was talkative, these would all be mine.

"Little two?"

A call pulled Huang Laicai, who was hurting his nerves, back in an instant. But it was the person he hated the most right now who was calling him.

"Master, what do you command?" Huang Laicai immediately retracted his spirit and replied.

"Take this fish and that pork knuckle home and eat them! We don't need that much. Liu Qiyuan said.

Hearing Liu Qiyuan's words, Huang Laicai looked at the two of them with some puzzlement. I saw that You Yuanhui also nodded in recognition of Liu Qiyuan's words, and immediately replied happily: "Okay, the little one thanked the two masters for rewarding them." ”

"By the way, Xiao Er, I want to ask you something." Liu Qiyuan asked again.

Huang Laicai stopped what he was doing again. raised his head and looked at Liu Qiyuan and replied, "Master, please speak." ”

"Do you know who General Uheto is feasting on? It is necessary to clear the site so grandly. Liu Qiyuan asked in a calm tone.

"Hui Ye, this little one is not clear." Subsequently, Huang Laicai thought about it again and said:

"However, I just heard from the shopkeeper that it seems that I want to invite someone from the capital."
