Chapter 9 Restaurant Meets Horse Week

"Hey, don't rush it. In addition, in Chang'an City, find two locations, one in the northwest and one in the southeast, the place should be larger, and it is not allowed to buy and sell. The contract documents are done together, and the required expenses are withdrawn from the account of the East Palace, and reported to me, and I will check it in a few days. Li Chengqian looked at Wei Shuyu, who was about to leave, and said with a smile, "You stay and find people by yourself, do these things first, it's still early, let's go to Xishi first." ”

The eldest grandson Chong on the side couldn't help it, "Lang Jun, why don't you let me go, I'm better than Si Jin, and if I'm as slow as he is, I can't do anything." ”

The eldest grandson Chong is the son of the eldest grandson Wuji, and he is also impatient, two years older than Li Chengqian, it stands to reason that he is his cousin, but he is also the future concubine of Li Lizhi, the princess of Changle, and Li Chengqian's brother-in-law.

Li Chengqian is not very clear about the situation of these children who are in contact with him, and only knows Du He, Li Yuanchang, Changsun Chong, Fang Yiai and a few others. The others are all characters from TV series, and they can't tell the truth from the fake. However, he had already sent people to search around.

"You have a choice, I have better things in my hands, are you sure you want to do these things?" Li Chengqian smiled at this future cheap brother-in-law.

"Forget it, I don't have the same knowledge as him." The eldest grandson scratched the back of his neck and sneered.

"Cut, just your little bit of interest, I still want to be careful, alas, I ——, to take you with you." Du He pursed his lips and walked forward quickly. The eldest grandson was furious, and chased after him with his fist. Wei Shuyu was left here, and the rest of the people went straight to the West Market.

The prosperity of the West Market far exceeds that of the East City, and the flow of people is also much larger, which is really bustling and shoulder to shoulder. The Persian Hu people are also common.

The three of them walked around for a long time, and Li Chengqian began to stand it again, not for other reasons, he was hungry, "I can't go to the osmanthus restaurant you said to eat, and I can't go shopping." Li Chengqian rubbed his stomach and said casually.

"Lang Jun, I've been hungry for a long time." Changsun Chong responded positively, "I just heard that the osmanthus wine in this restaurant is good, so I went over to book it first." ”

Before he finished speaking, he went straight to the restaurant. Li Chengqian and Du He followed.

When I entered the store, I looked around, and the downstairs was full of customers, and the guys were running around to deliver food.

"How many distinguished guests?" A guy came directly to say hello.

"Shopkeeper, we are together, remember to send it to the private room upstairs, two catties of meat, two dishes, six Hu cakes, and a jar of osmanthus wine." Eldest Sun Chong was already standing at the top of the stairs and waved at them, "Here, come up." ”

Above the second floor, there were many fewer people, but they were in the private rooms facing the street. The two of them followed into the private room and sat down. After a while, the food and wine were ready, and the meal was served.

"Why do they have a place, I don't, they can go upstairs, I can't go upstairs, you are too partial. Everything pays attention to the first come, first come, how can it be so snobbish. ”

The three of them were preparing to eat. But I could hear a commotion downstairs.

This person seemed to have a plan when he spoke, and Li Chengqian frowned. Du He suddenly stood up and said to the two, "I'll go down and have a look." Li Chengqian waved his hand, "Call the shopkeeper up and ask." ”

After a while, the shopkeeper ran up and kept arching his hand, "I'm really sorry to disturb all the distinguished guests, Fang Cai is just a down-and-out scholar, penniless, relying on a bit of literary talent, just making trouble." I have revered him as a strange man, and have persuaded him to go out. ”

"Oh, how do you know he's a stranger?" Du He asked, "How do you know that he is penniless?" ”

A few days ago, I accompanied my wife back to my mother-in-law's house, passing by Xinfeng Town, in order to save a few dollars, I lived in a low-end hotel. I happened to meet this person, who also lived in this low-end hotel, and saw that the owner treated him coldly and often spoke disrespectfully, and he didn't mind, so he felt strange at the time, so he paid a little attention.

As a result, I found out that he often defaulted on the store because he didn't have much money on him. Originally, it was nothing, but on the day of the stay there happened an incident, I remember that day, the owner only cared about entertaining some wealthy businessmen who entered the hotel to stay, ignoring this person, who knew that this person asked the owner to bring a bucket of eight liters (now 3.6 liters) of wine, to drink alone, and not to accompany the wine, and drank so much wine at one time, the people in the store were stunned, and the owner also saw that he was not like an ordinary person, and no longer embarrassed him.

Who knew that he had come to the imperial capital in the past few days, and it was estimated that he had only come here recently, so I saw that it was him, dressed shabby, but he thought very highly of himself, knowing that he had no money but wanted to go upstairs, for fear that he would make disrespectful remarks and disturb the distinguished guests. Therefore, I had the intention of driving him out, but I did not want to disturb you. ”

"Shopkeeper, go down." Li Chengqian's heart was full of waves, and he waved his hand and said.

After waiting for the shopkeeper to go downstairs, he turned his head to look out the window and downstairs, and said to Du He: "There are such strange people, you invite this strange person to come up and have a look, don't be lazy." ”

A twenty-eight or nineteen-year-old literati with a reddish complexion and towering shoulders walked out of the store, this person surnamed Ma Mingzhou, who had just arrived in the capital, was now kicked out of the store, standing on the side of the road and hesitating. From time to time, I looked up at the sky and sighed.

I once remembered a poem I made when I just left my hometown: On the first day of the Taiqing Dynasty, the spring water sent a lonely boat. The mountains are far away and there are no trees, and the tide does not seem to flow. The flowers on the shore bloomed and fell, and the river birds did not float. The detention hurts thousands of miles, and the long song sends four sorrows. Now that I have nowhere to go, I am even more worried.

I met a few young men in brocade clothes just now, and I thought that these people have some backgrounds, and if they can get acquainted, they can also have multiple ways. But I didn't expect to be kicked out. After a whole year of wandering life, he did not stump him, but now when he came to the imperial capital, he didn't know anything and didn't know where to go.

I'm planning to go out of the West City and find another way. But I heard someone behind me speak.

"If you hesitate about something, why don't you go upstairs with a certain person." Du Ho gave up his hand.

"The nobles are invited, and Ma Zhou should obey his fate." Looking back, it turned out to be the young man Lang who had just met in the store, Ma Zhou's heart moved slightly, and he was really not an ordinary person, "Please also ask Lang Jun to introduce him." ”

The shopkeeper watched Du He take Ma Zhou to the second floor, shook his head, and said in his heart, being rich is capricious, so he likes to put on music and be the big boss.

Raising his hand, he instructed the guy: "Go and add another pair of dishes and chopsticks to a few young guests upstairs." Then serve a meal for one. ”

"Back to Langjun, fortunately not disgraced." Du He led Ma Zhou into the private room.

Li Chengqian hurriedly got up to greet him, "Fortunately, the imperial capital met by chance, I don't know the name of Jun Gao, I hope to inform you." Cheng Qian is polite. ”

"A certain surname is Ma Zhou, the word Binwang, and a native of Qinghe Chiping. Are you—" Ma Zhou bowed his hands, his mind couldn't turn for a moment, could it really be the young prince who was famous in the imperial capital, but he had been talking about it recently. The prince is young and smart, and the young Tang Dynasty said that Kyoto is copying, and he is good luck against the sky.
