In the large courtyard behind the Half Moon Building, there have always been several secluded private rooms. If the gentlemen who usually come to the Yaji in the Half Moon Building want to find a secluded place to chat in a private room, most of them let the guys in the Half Moon Building lead them into the private room to chat.

It is also to make the gentlemen who chat about private things feel at ease, and after entering the private room, the guys in the Half Moon Building quickly put refreshments on the gentlemen who entered the private room, or according to the requirements of those who want to talk about private words, they trotted to the famous time-honored restaurants everywhere. In less than a pot of tea, the guy with the big food box can stand in the private room and fill the table with four bowls and eight dishes of delicacies!

After that, the young man of the Half Moon Building will withdraw from the private room in a playful manner. If you don't hear the brass bell ringing in the private room, there will never be an idler within a radius of three zhang!

In the usual days, there are always gentlemen who want to chat privately in the private room of the Half Moon Building. But on such a lively elegant gathering of the Autumn Insect Society, the private room in the backyard of the Half Moon Building was empty, and there were few guests.

Occupying a private room alone, Qi Sanye had already drunk a pot of drunken high jasmine tea into white water, and several times wanted to stand up and walk out of the private room to see if the housekeeper had returned to the Half Moon Building. But after hesitating again and again, Qi Sanye slowly sat back on the chair and played with the two ancient jade walnuts in his hand.

Almost two meals later, Qi Sanye suddenly heard a rush of footsteps and walked to the door of the private room. With a gentle knock on the door, the butler's obviously nervous voice came through the thick door panel: "Master, I have inquired clearly!" ”

Standing up suddenly, Qi Sanye almost rushed to the door!

Forcibly suppressing the throbbing in his heart, Qi Sanye reached out and held the Eight Immortals table beside him, but after taking a deep breath, he kept his voice steady and whispered: "Come in and talk!" ”

Stretched out his hand and pushed open the thick elm door of the private room, and the housekeeper who was sweating profusely didn't care that there was a young man standing behind him who was waiting for guests in the private room, and he opened his mouth to talk to Qi Sanye. But after seeing Qi Sanye's slight glare, the housekeeper closed his mouth in amusement, and turned around to close the thick elm door of the private room.

Stretching out two fingers, Qi Sanye pushed a cup of tea on the table that had been cooled towards the housekeeper: "Finish drinking this cup of tea before talking!" There is no idea for everything, and the frizzy can only be bad! ”

Maybe he was thirsty and thirsty, and the housekeeper didn't care about so many courtesies, so he took the cup of cold tea and drank it all, and then reached out and wiped his lips: "If you go back to the master, you can inquire and understand!" The female of the Autumn Insect Club is the little girl of Zhang Dashuai outside the Guanwai! ”

With a raised eyebrow, Qi Sanye suddenly sneered: "Hmph, what a big boldness, the pit is on the head of the third master!" Although Zhang Dashuai outside the gate is said to be born as a bandit, his family rules are extremely strict! The ladies of several rooms are also strict in their manners, husbands and children, and they are never slack! Such a willful and reckless little girl who shows up in Sijiu City is too sloppy, and she doesn't even know the details of the situation, so she dares to come to Sijiu City to make a fortune? ! ”

As if because his breath had been settled, the housekeeper standing in front of Qi Sanye replied to his appearance of looking at his nose and nose and heart, and responded respectfully to Qi Sanye: "At first, I also thought that someone wanted to save the game and trap people, but then I inquired carefully, and it was really not like this!" The Liuguo Hotel did receive a group of guests from the Northeast three days ago, although the registration number book said that the Northeast Lin family, but the owners of the village in the Beiping Police Station are all waiting in the Liuguo Hotel these days. Listening to the tea room of the Six Nations Hotel, these people all call one master the owner on the surface, but in private, they all call one of the Northeast guests - Dashuai! Besides, if you can charter two floors in the Six Nations Hotel to save up a game, this cost is also a bit bigger? ”

Turning around the two ancient jade walnuts in his hand, Qi Sanye pondered for a moment, muttering as if talking to himself: "On this half-moon day, there are really a lot of guests from outside the city in Sijiu City."

As if to show merit, the butler reached out and took out a tattered piece of paper from his arms, and respectfully handed it to Qi Sanye's eyes: "This is something that was obtained from the handyman who cleaned up the house at the Six Nations Hotel, like the charter of the meeting?" ”

After taking the piece of paper, Qi Sanye just roughly swept the intermittent words on the piece of paper, and immediately changed his face: "North-South Consultative Conference? This national government is really generous."

Nodding more and more respectfully, the smugness in the butler's words was obvious: "I chased the girl all the way to the Six Nations Hotel, and I saw the girl enter the door of the Six Nations Hotel. On the floor where Zhang Dashuai lived, the guards at the staircase didn't stop her! There is also the one who came to the Half Moon Building to find her, and I also got on the line! said that Zhang Dashuai usually loves this little girl the most, and sometimes he is really speechless, at most he scolds a few words, and he is easily reluctant to move a finger! ”

His eyes lit up, and Qi Sanye suddenly put the tattered piece of paper in his hand on the table next to him: "The origin of the Seven Killing Scorpions, figured it out?" ”

Nodding heavily, the butler involuntarily lowered his voice: "Figured it out!" It is said that Zhang Dashuai's little girl likes to play eagle and dog fights on weekdays, tossing some rare things. The people below made fun, and spent a lot of money to give this young lady these seven killing scorpions and philosopher's stones, and by the way, they also told this young lady that there is an autumn insect meeting of this fighting scorpion in Sijiu City every year! Coincidentally, this handsome Zhang was going to come to Beiping City to discuss matters, and this young lady came with him."

Raising his hand to stop the butler's chatter, Qi Sanye slowly stood up, paced back and forth in the spacious private room, and only turned his head to the butler and shouted, "When will they leave Beiping?" ”

"The train at ten o'clock in the evening said that it was going directly back to Mukden!"

"The Seven Killing Scorpions, and the Philosopher's Stone"

"I'm looking at the door! The one who was looking for Miss Zhang Dashuai's family in the Half Moon Building was a broken reminder from a wife in Zhang Dashuai's family! Look at that mouthful of cigarettes, I'm afraid that there is not enough money at hand! ”

Turning around neatly, Qi Sanye waved his hand to the housekeeper: "Go and do it!" It doesn't matter the price! As long as you can get the Seven Killing Scorpion and the Philosopher's Stone, in the next ten years, the rules and ways to play scorpion fighting in Sijiu City can only be decided by the Deshengmen Qi family! ”

Watching the housekeeper take the order away, Qi Sanye sat down on the chair again, raised his hand and grabbed the bell that greeted the person and shook it gently. In less than a moment, the young man who was specially serving the guests in the private room in the Half Moon Building was already standing at the door of the private room, and greeted him respectfully and harmoniously: "Third master, what do you command?" ”

Slowly and methodically put the copper bell in his hand back on the table, Qi Sanye called out to the young man waiting outside the door in a warm voice: "Open another private room, clean up a good swallow wing seat on the table, and then invite the master of the Tianzi No. 2 private room to come over!" ”

Neatly agreed, at most two bags of cigarettes, and the young man's courteous and respectful voice came from outside the door of the private room again: "Third master, the swallow wing seat you ordered has been prepared, and it is in the Tianzi No. 1 private room, and the master of the Tianzi No. 2 private room has already gone over to wait for you!" ”

Pacing in all directions, Qi Sanye, under the courteous guidance of the young man, walked through the flowers and trees towards the Tianzi No. 1 private room hidden by the flower tree rockery. Just saw the moon gate in the Tianzi No. 1 private room with the canopy of several precious flower trees, a young man in a suit, born elegant, like a scholar, had already greeted him early, and hugged his fists towards Qi Sanye from a distance and smiled: "The third master is here, and there is a disappointment in the future, forgive your sins!" ”

also arched his hand, and Qi Sanye also smiled politely: "Mr. Lao Zuo has been waiting for a long time, and he is sloppy!" ”

His face was slightly stagnant, and the young man who looked like a scholar stretched out his hand to greet the guest, and smiled at Qi Sanye: "Qi Sanye's noble people are busy, I should wait a little while as a junior, where can I say that I am lazy?" ”

At the table of the Eight Immortals who had set up the swallow wing seat, the guests and hosts sat down, watching the young man who was waiting for the private room close the door of the private room, and the young man called Mr. Zuo reached out and grabbed the Shanxi Laofen wine that was warm in the wine insert, and gently filled the cup in front of Qi Sanye: "The scene of this autumn insect meeting really opened my eyes!" Looking at the entire Beiping City, I am afraid that only Qi Sanye can rectify such a pomp! ”

Nodding modestly towards the young man who was pouring wine for himself, Qi Sanye smiled in a harmonious voice: "I still have to rely on Mr. Zuo's help, this year's Autumn Insect Fair can be regarded as a little large-scale!" Don't mention it, just say that the thirty-six southern scorpions that my Qi family got in their hands, then fortunately Mr. Zuo is in the middle! Otherwise, I have traveled thousands of miles from Yunnan to find these fighting southern scorpions, even if my Deshengmen Qi family has a big business, it will not be able to catch it! ”

Listening to the noise coming from the Half Moon Building, Mr. Zuo first raised his glass and touched Qi Sanye lightly, then he was like a student asking the teacher for advice, and smiled at Qi Sanye: "I just don't know if these thirty-six southern scorpions can win the insect king of this year's Autumn Insect Society for the third master?" ”

Smacking his lips slightly, Qi Sanye said while reminiscing about the mellow aroma of Shanxi Laofen wine, but at the same time, he smiled like a trick: "The insect king of this year's Autumn Insect Society, my Deshengmen Qi family is naturally bound to win!" As for whether the thirty-six southern scorpions won the insect king of this year's Autumn Insect Society, what does it matter? ”

Raising his eyes to look at Mr. Zuo beside him, the weird smile on Qi Sanye's face became thicker and thicker: "This is like the business that Mr. Zuo opened - Chrysanthemum Society, Shannan Haibei, all kinds of goods, as long as someone has heard of something, Mr. Zuo can get it, it can really be regarded as a hand and eye to the sky!" For people who buy goods, as long as they can buy the goods they need, it doesn't matter whether the signboard of Mr. Zuo's business is called Ju She or Ju Agency! ”

Proudly admiring the surprised expression on Mr. Zuo's face, Qi Sanye grabbed the small wine jug that was warm in the wine plug and filled the cup in front of Mr. Zuo: "And you, Mr. Zuo!" You came to Beiping City four years ago, but after a month's effort, your chrysanthemum society is booming! Most of the men who do business in Beiping City recognize a time-honored brand and pay attention to old friendships. The new business has been open for three years, and it is already the manager's management. But your Ju Society can actually squeeze out the three time-honored brands of Lao Nanhui, Xingrong and Jushengyuan in a month."

Gently picked up the silver-inlaid ebony chopsticks, Qi Sanye picked up a piece of scallion roasted sea cucumber, and slowly put it into the small plate in front of Mr. Zuo: "The capital is big, the ability is great, and the scene is also big, just like this, if you are not afraid of Mr. Zuo, if you are not afraid, Mr. Zuo, even if it is handed over to the old shopkeepers of those Jin merchants, Hui merchants or Zhejiang merchants, I am afraid that the master will have to sweat in his heart!" But if the owner behind it is Japan, then it is only natural to put this transaction in your hands! Do you say that Mr. Sanosuke Katsumasa?! ”

A trace of green energy flashed on his face, and Zuo Zhisuke Katsumasa slowly put his hands on his knees, and stared at Qi Sanye, who was smiling very strangely: "It seems that the Deshengmen Qi family does have the ability that only a big family can have, and Qi Sanye, you, are even more extraordinary!" Well, since Third Master Qi chose to say these words at this moment, then I will also follow what the Chinese say - there is something to say directly! We helped Qi Sanye win the insect king at this year's autumn insect meeting, and Qi Sanye, you, also need to do something for us! ”

Squinting his eyes, Qi Sanye smiled like an old fox who had grown up for years: "I want to hear it!" ”
