Chapter 1 Rich and Powerful (3)
The big man was really startled, and his legs were weak and he knelt on the ground. "The small one has eyes and no beads, and it collided with His Royal Highness King Cheng, the small one is really damned, really damned." Crying and mourning over and over again, kowtowing to Zhao Xiu over and over again, the sound of "bells" made by his head on the wooden board.
Kang Lingqi and the three of you, look at me, I look at you, smiled and shook his head.
Tang Yishi was still squatting on the ground, not daring to stand up, he asked the big man who was kowtowing, "Let me ask you, what is your Mrs. Zhang doing with so many family members here?" ”
The big man didn't dare to raise his head with his face on the ground and said: "Back to the young master's words, my wife loves to be lively, so I invited all the ladies of the house to come and eat all over the world, and wanted to talk to people to be lively and lively." ”
Tang Yishi said with a straight face: "Lively? So what do you ask my sister to do? My sister is not familiar with your Mrs. Zhang? ”
Dahan asked, "You're talking about Tang Yuxin, Miss Tang." ”
"Nonsense," Tang Yishi said impatiently.
Dahan lowered his head and replied: "Originally, my wife invited Mrs. Lingtang to the banquet, but somehow Mrs. Lingtang was sick, so I sent Miss Tang here." ”
Tang Yishi sneered: "Mrs. Zhang's spirit is really good, and she still has the heart to invite guests to a banquet when she is free." But why didn't you hold a banquet in Zhang's mansion, but ran to this restaurant? The invited are all female dependents, which is really unorthodox. ”
Dahan replied: "The courtyard of Zhangfu is a little small, and my wife wants to invite everyone to eat something good, so I thought of this place." My wife also thought of the mixed fish and dragons here, so she specially booked the No. 1 room of Tianzi on the third floor. But I didn't expect to be the first to get there, so I had to retreat to the next best thing and set up a private room on the second floor. Madame was not very relieved, and all the people who asked the little people to come to the various floors and walk on the path, lest strangers see that the family members had a bad influence. ”
Zhao Xiu nodded and said, "Well, your wife is thoughtful." Stand down, and don't mention to anyone what you have met with us today. It's as if you've never seen a few of us, do you understand? ”
The big man knelt and nodded, "The little one understands, and the little one retires." ”
Zhao Xiu nodded, and Dahan retreated cautiously.
Zhao Xiu turned to Xiao Er in the restaurant and said, "We don't take the stairs, take us through the back door." ”
"Okay, go through the back door." Tang Yishi hurriedly responded.
Kang Lingqi said with a disdainful face: "You are a big man who is really afraid of women, do you have any chance." ”
Tang Yishi carefully stretched his neck, looked downstairs, and saw that more than a dozen female dependents from the second floor had entered the private room, and there were only some servants and maids left at the door, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Oops, why did your legs go numb after squatting, it's really time to exercise." Tang Yishi stood up slowly, not caring about Kang Lingqi's hurtful words at all.
Xiao Er led the way in front, Tang Yishi walked in the front, and everyone walked behind him.
Tang Yishi said as he walked: "You just didn't have a sister like me, you can only say that your fate is good." You don't know that I'm not afraid of my father and my mother at home, but I'm afraid of this sister. I can hide my affairs from everyone, and I definitely can't hide from any of my sisters, he can always see through me, as if he knows me better than I do. In Lao Zhao's words, she is almost a demon-like existence. ”
Jiang Chenxing was obviously a little unconvinced: "There is something, I don't think the opponent is too strong, but you are too weak." Besides, what's the secret, you've always been a guy who can't get two or two cat pees in your stomach. ”
"Hahahaha," Kang Lingqi laughed.
"Morningstar's description is too much in line with Xiao Tang, hahahaha, it's so interesting." Kang Lingqi smiled and flipped back.
Kang Lingqi not only did not get annoyed, but when he heard Jiang Chenxing's sentence "I can't hide two taels of cat urine in my stomach", he also felt very funny, and he also laughed together.
The four of them laughed all the way to the backyard of the restaurant. The backyard of the "Eat All Over the Sky" restaurant is also a different kind of elegance.
This backyard is full of flowers and plants, but the flowers and plants should have not been repaired for a long time, and they are a little messy. However, the colorful flowers bloom all over the yard, and it is also very beautiful.
Several people came to the door of the backyard under the leadership of Xiao Er, and Xiao Er opened the back door.
Zhao Xiu turned to Xiao Er and said, "You go back and tell Hua Buer, let him be smart, pay attention to the cow ghosts and snakes in the restaurant, don't let them hand over a good pot of soup." There you go. ”
That Xiao Er had just learned the identity of the great god in front of him, and he was breathing a sigh of relief in his heart, as soon as he heard Zhao Xiu ask him to retreat, the whole person was as if he had just retreated from the ghost gate. He hurriedly saluted Zhao Xiu and walked back.
Kang Lingqi looked at the sky, "Okay, it's over, I won't go with you, I have to go back quickly, otherwise my grandfather will find out and break my leg." ”
Tang Yishi suddenly laughed, somehow his laughter made people feel cheap. "Why did you laugh at me just now, and now you know that you're afraid?"
Kang Lingqi patted Tang Yishi's shoulder: "Can you be the same as me?" I'm afraid of my grandfather, and you, you're afraid of a little-known little woman. ”
Tang Yishi pursed his lips and "cut", turned his head and left, he also felt that he was a little timid, but it was inconvenient to admit it. He didn't look back, just turned his back and shook his hand at Zhao Xiu and the others.
Kang Lingqi also stepped back, "Then I'll go too." ”
Zhao Xiu and Jiang Chenxing stood at the door and answered. "We'll meet again in two days." Zhao Xiu shouted loudly.
"Okay, get back together." Kang Lingqi's figure disappeared around the corner. Only Jiang Chenxing and Zhao Xiu were left at the door, and behind the two stood the personal servants of the two.
Jiang Chenxing and Zhao Xiu have a very good relationship, so the two often walk together. Jiang Chenxing glanced inside the door, and then reincarnated at Zhao Xiu and said, "There are some things that I don't know whether to say or not." ”
Zhao Xiu also felt Jiang Chenxing's strangeness, "Our two brothers are still talking about this, just have something you say." ”
Jiang Chenxing smiled and nodded, "As for me, I don't know about those things in Liaozhou officialdom, but I think there is something wrong with today's affairs." ”
Zhao Xiu frowned, thinking about walking on the street, listening as he walked.
"It stands to reason that you are also the lord of Liaozhou, the Tianwu Imperial Family. Although Lord Zhang Jinzhang is said to be the pastor of Liaozhou and the second-in-command of Liaozhou, you don't know that there are really so many officials' families in Liaozhou at this banquet. Or let me put it another way, Zhang Liu's banquet for the families of officials and wealthy businessmen in Liaozhou did not ask the princess for instructions. Anyway, you two are the masters of this huge Liaozhou. It was rude for him to do so. ”
Zhao Xiu walked in front and didn't look back, in fact, he had already thought of this. It's just that even if it's his best friend, he can't let him know.
Zhao Xiu smiled: "Ha, I thought it was a big deal, I understand that Princess Cheng has always stayed at home, taking care of the housework in the palace all day long, and there is no time to come out to breathe, let alone set up a banquet." Over time, everyone knew Princess Cheng's quiet temperament, so they stopped inviting her out. Don't worry, it's not a problem. Hahaha"
Jiang Chenxing walked behind Zhao Xiu, and he couldn't see Zhao Xiu's face clearly at this time, but he heard Zhao Xiu's tone and felt that it was not a big deal, so he also put his mind at ease.
As soon as the two of them came out of the back door, there was an alley, and they continued to walk down the alley until they came to the street. Two horse-drawn carriages were parked at the corner of the street. It was Zhao Xiu and Jiang Chenxing who came to pick them up.
One of the two carriages was led by four horses and the other by a horse. The carriage led by four horses was the carriage of the Cheng Wangfu.
Zhao Xiu walked towards the carriage, walked to the carriage and turned to Jiang Chenxing and said, "I'm going back to the house, you should go back early." ”
Jiang Chenxing looked at the sunset in the sky and nodded.
The two men got into their respective carriages and drove in different directions.
In the eyes of officials in Liaozhou, Chengwang Zhao Xiu does several things every day, which is nothing more than making money and spending money. The whole person is like getting into the eye of money. When Zhao Xiu first came to Liaozhou, the first thing he did was to do business.
In just seven years after coming to Liaozhou, he created a business empire, the Tianxiang Chamber of Commerce that he founded himself. The giants of Liaozhou shopping malls are all members of the Intertek Chamber of Commerce.
The evaluation of the people of Liaozhou on this king Zhao Xiu is very complicated.
Some people say that King Cheng is very good at governing Liaozhou, saying that since the end of the Shang Dynasty until the establishment of Tianwu, Liaozhou has been in turmoil and bandits, and this situation has continued until after the establishment of Tianwu. But within a few years of Emperor Tianwu's youngest son, Zhao Xiu, the king of Cheng, and the security of Liaozhou was commendable. The people can basically stay at night.
Some people say that King Cheng loves money and lustful, and says that since Zhao Xiu has money, he has built a large number of Qinglou art in the whole territory of Liaozhou, and the extravagance quickly spread all over the land of Liaozhou, and he himself built the largest art in Liaozhou at the door of Chengwangfu. For a time, Zhao Xiu's approach stunned the people of Liaozhou.
Some people also say that King Cheng is the God of Wealth, and that he Zhao Xiu was born to be possessed by the God of Wealth, and he will make a fortune wherever he goes. As soon as Zhao Xiu came, the barren and barren land of Liaozhou suddenly became fertile and wild. No matter what you plant, it is a good harvest. Liaozhou's two-day life river is up and down, and the grain output is even more amazing, and in the past few years, Liaozhou has been ahead of all states in the country in terms of commerce and agriculture.
Some people also say that King Cheng is a mediocre talent, and Liaozhou's achievements today are all taken care of by Zhang Jin and Kang Deshou, the pillars of Liaozhou officialdom. There is nothing to do with him Zhao Xiu. Many people believe in this statement. After all, Zhao Xiu, the king of Cheng, did a lot of ridiculous things, the most famous of which was the establishment of a grain army.
In the eleventh year of Tianwu, Zhao Xiu entered Liaozhou, when the Liaoyan rebellion had just stopped, and the farmland in the homes of the people of Liaozhou had been abandoned for several years.
