Chapter 65: The Fox Fake Tiger
After Lu Zuo and Yin Ji cleaned up, the two agreed to live together in the main house of the main house, and Yin Ji moved another board bed and slept on the side of Lu Zuo's bed, so that he could take care of the master sooner or later.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Lu Zuo led Yin Ji to the stove room to make a fire and cook. The two made two bowls of noodle soup, and after they were full, they wandered around the yard again. After walking around, Lu Zuo felt that his heart palpitations were unbearable, so he went back to the room to rest for a while, and when he was much more comfortable, Lu Zuo instructed Yin Jidao: "Tao Qian, let's go, go to Pingyuanbo's house!" ”
"Master, I'm really not used to calling you an apprentice!" Yin Ji said with a smile.
"I got used to it! Let's go! Lu Zuo struggled out of bed as he spoke.
Yin Ji asked while helping his master: "What are you doing in the Earl's Court on such a hot day?" ”
Lu Zuo said as he walked: "First, I want to come to thank you, Mr. Shuiyue has helped us so much, and secondly, I want to help Mr. Shuiyue deliver a letter, isn't it ......"
Saying that Yin Ji took a paper umbrella to shade the master, the two did not have any mounts, fortunately there was a restaurant when they went out and turned left, and there was a very eye-catching banner hanging on the restaurant, with the book "Xinghua Restaurant", and the opposite street was Ning Wangfu.
Lu Zuo looked at the crowded and non-stop street market, and couldn't help sighing: "Our apartment is a good place, the left and right are the most lively, and I won't be afraid of loneliness when I go out in the future." ”
"Yes!" Yin Ji pointed across the street as he spoke, "Master, look, this Ning Wangfu is close to us. ”
Lu Zuo sneered slightly and said nothing, then looked back at the guise on his head and said, "Xinghua Restaurant!" As he spoke, he took out the purse in his arms and took out a full three taels of silver, "Qian'er!" You go in and rent a carriage with the shopkeeper. ”
Yin Ji agreed, took the silver and walked in.
Yin Ji entered the door and couldn't help but admire, it was really magnificent, people came and went, not to mention the hot business, just the furnishings of this restaurant, you can see the background of the owner. The place to listen to music and eat on this floor is very elegant, and the carved beams and paintings on the second floor are even more dazzling. Yin Ji stood at the door and waited for a while, and when he saw that he didn't have a hand to talk, he hurriedly walked to the counter in the middle of the hall.
There were two guys standing in the middle of the counter greeting guests, and there were two account rooms sitting next to them who were reconciling accounts.
Seeing them so sluggish, Yin Ji was anxious, and slammed his fist on the table with a "bang", and asked angrily, "Who is your boss here?" ”
At this time, a thin guy who had been looked Yin Ji up and down, and asked disdainfully, "Who are you?" The boss is also something that a little hairy kid like you can see! ”
"You don't care who I am! Call your boss out. "Yin Ji is also a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and he doesn't look at that guy squarely, Yin Ji has been wandering since he was a child, and he has seen a lot of people who bully the soft and fear the hard.
The guy was about to have a seizure, but he was stopped by a person who had just come up to settle the account, and then bowed his hand and said kindly: "This little brother, is there anything wrong?" Just tell me! Our boss isn't here, here, I've got the final say! ”
"This old gentleman is good-looking!" Yin Ji softened his tone at this time, and said to the guy just now, "You! Learn this! ”
The guy glanced at the account room, and he was also dumb and had a bad seizure of Coptis chinensis. And the bookkeeper continued to apologize: "This is a newcomer who is ignorant, what do you have to say, little brother!" ”
"Master, I want to rent a carriage, how much is it for half a day?" Yin Ji still said angrily.
The bookkeeper smiled flatteringly: "One or two silver for half a day!" If you add a coachman, you have to add a penny. ”
"What?" As if he had misheard, Yin Ji deliberately raised his voice, "It's going to be so expensive?" ”
The guy turned around and looked at Yin Ji with disdain, "At this price, you don't have money to find another home." ”
Yin Ji was angry for a while, and pouted: "Who said that the master has no money!" ”
Yin Ji took out the three taels of silver from his arms just now, and slammed it on the counter, and the silver "landed" on the table. The guy changed his face instantly, and hurriedly grabbed the silver, for fear that it would fall to the ground, and the guy didn't expect this stunned young man to be so generous, so he smiled and said: "Master, forgive me, the little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai." Master, do you want a coachman? ”
"Yes!" Yin Ji blurted out, "Just cut a tael of silver and find me, and you can count the rest by yourself." ”
"Good!" The guy hurriedly agreed, "The little one is going!" ”
The bookkeeper glanced at the man, who took out a pair of clippings from the drawer of the counter, weighed the silver and crushed it, and then weighed it in a small tael, and handed the rest into the hands of the bookkeeper, and went to the door to call for someone to pull the carriage.
The account room has seen the world, still maintains the original face, pushes a tael of silver from the table in his hand Yin Ji, and then looks at him again, seeing that although Yin Ji is still young, his demeanor has a chivalrous style, so he asked: "Dare to ask the young master his surname?" Seems like the first time I've seen you here? ”
Yin Ji took the silver, turned around and said without looking back: "The young master's name is Tao Qian." ”
Yin Ji strode out of the door, and bumped into the guy just now, Yin Ji scolded angrily: "Why are you again!" Walk to see the sky or what? ”
"I'm sorry! The little eyeball hasn't been installed yet. The man was still smiling, and then pointed to the carriage on the other side of the street, "Get your carriage ready, and the driver is waiting for you there." ”
"Okay, okay, it's none of your business!"
Yin Ji didn't look at him, he went down the steps and greeted the master not far away: "Master! Come on...... The carriage is ready! ”
The master and apprentice got into the carriage and let the coachman drive all the way to the Earl's Palace. Along the way, Yin Ji complained to the master about what he had just encountered in the restaurant, and scolded the snobbish guy for nothing. Lu Zuo also smiled and comforted him that this world is like this, he is open-minded, and he doesn't have to compete with snobs for any power, so he has become powerful.
After Lu Zuo and the others got out of the carriage and came to the door of the Earl's Palace, Lu Zuo first stepped forward and asked the doorman guarding the door: "Brothers, I am a friend of the lord, and I will send two letters to the lord, I wonder if I can help with it?" ”
"Friends?" The man looked Lu Zuo up and down, "I've been guarding the door for the lord for many years, what does this guest look like, as long as I come once, I can definitely remember the next time, but why can't I remember who you are?" ”
Yin Ji also felt funny when he looked at it, now that the master has become like this, where can people recognize him, so Yin Ji patted his chest and stopped in front of the master, and said angrily: "Then do you know me?" ”
