Chapter 10: The Drunken Guest Zhang Xuan
The largest liquor store in Dayi, the capital of Xue Guoguo, is in the East Market, named 'Tiankeju', in the East City of Dayi, the capital of Xuedu, covering an area of nearly two acres, with a five-bay storefront on the street, three inside and outside, five floors up and down, one layer is more exquisite and gorgeous than the first floor, and it is extremely luxurious!
In Mr. Mo's opinion, such a large wine shop, even a five-star hotel may not be able to catch up with it in the previous life! What's more, this 'Tianke Residence' is still located in the bustling city of the capital of a country!
Whether in the past life or in the present, the wine shop and restaurant will always be a place where there are three religions and nine streams, fish and snakes, and of course, it is also the fastest place for rumors to spread in the market! And these market rumors are often mixed with all kinds of real information, just to see if you can distinguish and screen!
After leaving the camp of the Zhao army, Yihua, who was alone and only took a servant in the middle of the night, now the most urgent thing to know is how the war between Zhao and Xue is going, he vaguely wanted to convey the meaning to the cheap father Zhao Junhou through the tiger charm and bamboo slips, Zhao Junhou understood it again?
After Yihua and Midnight left Yuntai County and entered the territory of Xue Kingdom, Yihua and Midnight had already become deaf and blind, and they didn't know anything about the news!
And if you want to learn these news as quickly as possible, the restaurant is one of the main and fastest ways, and in the market, there is no Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, those games played by Yihua in the previous life, recruiting heroes, are all in this tavern!
Yihua took midnight to find a private room on the second floor of the Tianke Residence and sat down against the railing, ordered a few side dishes at random, a pot of Xue Guo Burning Wine, Yihua drank slowly for a while, but his ears and eyes kept paying attention to the movements and news coming from the lobby on the first floor.
The lobby on the first floor is an individual guest, and the consumption is naturally much lower than that on the fourth floor above, but for ordinary people, even for the children of the declining scholars of Zhao State like Midnight, their consumption is still very expensive, and an extremely ordinary table of wine and food is enough to make an ordinary family of five in Zhao State spend two or three months!
However, even so, the lobby on the first floor of Tianke Residence is still overcrowded, and there are even individual guests who share tables with people they don't know!
In this regard, what he saw at midnight was the high consumption of Tiankeju, and the look of envy and jealousy in his eyes was mostly revealed, but Yihua was different, what he saw was the wealth and strength of Xue Guo, although it was only a wine restaurant in the capital of Xue Guo, but from this small wine shop and restaurant, Yihua could still see the wealth of Xue Guo's national strength!
If it weren't for the rich family background, why would there be such a high consumption?
"It's open, it's open!"
There was a sudden commotion in the lobby on the first floor, and then a guy from Tiankeju stood on a high platform in the middle of the lobby, and behind the high platform there was a huge screen, on which the map of Yuntai County of Zhao Guo and Xilin County of Xue Guo was sketched.
Although he had only seen it once, and he couldn't write it at all, Yihua was still able to recognize the names of the two cities on the map, "Yuntai County" and "Xilin County", especially when these words appeared on a silk cloth in succession!
Midnight heard the noise downstairs, turned his head to look, his face changed involuntarily, and he shouted: "Gong ......" Before the word "Zi" was spoken, he was glared at by Yihua fiercely, and Midnight had to swallow the word "Zi" back, and called instead: "Sir, what are they going to do?" ”
"What? Don't you understand this? They are gambling on the war between Xue and Zhao! Before Yihua could speak, a diner who rushed to the handrail from the private room had already sneered and said.
"Gambling on the war between Xue and Zhao? Xue Guo's gambling & Bo style is so much? Midnight said with wide-eyed surprise.
The diner grinned and sneered, and said: "The richest country in the world, the richest place, with three or five spare money in hand, don't use it to gamble, what else do you use it for?" The money in your hand will not give birth to a baby! ”
Listening to it in the middle of the night, I couldn't help but be stunned, but Yihua on the side had already grown up, walked to the diner's side, hugged his fists, bowed, and said: "Mr. is funny, extraordinary, must be an elegant celebrity, meeting is fate, if you don't give up, you and I have a drink, how about it?" ”
"You're going to ask me for a drink?"
"If the gentleman does not give up, he should drink it together." Yihua said with a smile.
"Don't give up, don't give up, what do I have to give up!" The diner waved his hand again and again, and then brushed his clothes up and down, and said, "However, you look at my dress, I don't have anything to lose, and I can't afford your wine!" ”
"My husband invites you to drink, how can he ask you for money?" Midnight said proudly on the side, although he and Yihua are now wearing coarse cloth clothes, dressed as a traveling businessman, but Yihua is also the son of the Duke of Zhao, although his family background has declined, but he is also a side branch of the Gong clan, a descendant of the Shi clan, and the arrogance exuded in his bones cannot be concealed no matter how he dresses up.
It's Yihua, although he is the son of Zhao Guo, but in his previous life, he was just an ordinary soldier, although he was arrogant, he was already introverted, and he would not show it in the slightest.
The diner listened to Midnight's words, paused slightly, turned his head to stare at Midnight for a few seconds, and then looked back at Yihua for a few seconds, and couldn't help but flash a look of incomprehension in his eyes, and then sat down calmly opposite Yihua.
At this time, the gambling game in the lobby on the first floor had officially opened, and the guy from Tiankeju stood on the high platform and said loudly to the surrounding diners: "Everyone, everyone, the news from the palace yesterday that Wang Zidan has arrived at the front line of Yuntai and officially took over the military power from Gongzi Mao!" ”
Saying that, after a slight pause, the guy said again: "When the prince left the capital, he swore in front of the king that within ten days, he would take Yuntai County, drive straight in, and the soldiers would go straight to Chendu, the capital of Zhao State!" Now that Wang Zidan has arrived at the front line, and Gongzi Mao has handed over the military power of the Tiger Talisman, it is expected that Wang Zidan should soon send troops to attack Yuntai Guancheng, and later today, there may be good news! ”
As he spoke, he paused slightly, and then the guy said again: "Everyone, in today's game, I bet that Wang Zidan will take Yuntai Pass City in a few days and behead him!" After a pause, the man shouted again, "You can place your bets now!" ”
The casual customers in the lobby listened to the man's words, and immediately rushed to the high platform like crazy, and someone held up a bag with silver coins and shouted, "I'll give fifty dollars!" "I'll pay a hundred! "I'll make three golds! "I'll get hardware! ”
For a while, the entire lobby became as lively and noisy as a vegetable market.
"Conquer Guancheng in three days, behead five thousand, the odds are two or three, and the next two lose three! Kecheng in three days, beheaded more than 10,000, the odds are three or four, and the next three is four to four! Three days of Kecheng, beheading ten thousand five, the odds are one or two, and the next one is two! ~" The guy was still there with a long voice singing loudly about the odds.
"Sir doesn't bet?" Yihua chuckled and said to the diners opposite.
"I don't have anything to do, so why should I bet?" The diner smiled and pointed to his dress.
"If the gentleman wants to bet, what will the gentleman bet?" Ehua asked with a chuckle.
"If you bet, what will you bet?" The diner asked with a smile.
"Me?" Yihua paused slightly, and then said with a chuckle: "In the next foreign traveling businessman, he only seeks his own food and clothing, food and clothing without worry, and the major affairs of the world, he is short-sighted and shallow, but he does not dare to speculate on himself, and the profits of business are not easy to come by, and he does not dare to squander them at will." ”
"However, I only want my own food and clothing, food and clothing are worry-free, the major affairs of the countries have nothing to do with my feet, I don't dare to speculate, for me, Xue Zhao is not the country of my parents, who wins or loses, what do I do?" The diner said with a smile.
When Yihua heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and was about to say something more, but he heard a somewhat drunk, but very high-pitched voice from the lobby on the first floor: "I! ~Bet on Zhao! ~Undefeated in the ten-day! ”
The other voices in the lobby all fell silent at once, and they all turned their heads to look in the direction where the sound came from, and even Yihua and Midnight stretched their necks to look down together, and followed everyone's line of sight, and soon saw a young man in his thirties, wearing a white robe, and already a little drunk.
At that moment, some diners recognized the identity of the young gentleman and said with a smile: "Zhangzi, you are drunk again!" As he spoke, he turned his head to the other diners and said: "He is Zhang Xuan, a diner under the Prime Minister, and he must not be taken seriously by the Prime Minister. ”
Listening to the diner's words, everyone else laughed, but Zhang Xuan suddenly said loudly: "Zhang Ziren is drunk~" said, paused, staggered two steps, nodded his head and said: "Xinming!" With that, he staggered to the edge of the high platform.
"In that case, how much money does Zhang Zi want to make?" The guy asked with a smile, said, glanced at the odds again, and said: "Now the odds of buying Zhao Guosheng are one to one, and the next one is one to one, Zhang Zi has a good eye, this is a hundred times the benefit!" The tone was full of mockery.
Zhang Xuan didn't seem to hear the mockery in the guy's words, and said drunkly: "I don't have any money for wine, and I'm covered in ~ just this money, so I bet with ~ this money and make some ~ earn some wine money!" ”
"One! Money? The man's eyes widened in surprise, and he glared at Zhang Xuan and said, "I'm afraid that Zhang Zi is not pretending to be drunk and has no money to pay the bill, so he denies it, right?" ”
The man's words immediately caused the other diners to laugh together.
"T's snobbery!" Zhang Xuan scolded, "Although Zhang Zi is poor, how can he deny the money of drinking? If you have a thousand gold, you will bet with a thousand gold, and you will win this day of guest residence! ”
