Thirteen Liu Sanshao
In this era, visiting the Qing Mansion can barely be called an elegant thing, and many literati in the Great Song Dynasty are frequent visitors to the Qing Building. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info So Shuang'er doesn't think there's anything wrong with his son-in-law going to clear the building, but Chen Yan is a little guilty.
Before this, Zhu Ba sent an invitation, and then Gu Qiaoxi sent someone to send a worship post, which shows that the young master Liu was afraid that he would not come, so he asked Gu Qiaoxi to send someone to send a worship post. It's just that Chen Yan doesn't understand, who is this Liu Dashao, who can actually be so clever? ! Could it be that he has something to do with Shopkeeper Liu, I'm afraid so.
Although I am a little reluctant, I really have to go there today, to see that Liu Dashao, and then I haven't done anything wrong, I'm afraid of a hair!
Shuang'er went to the house and took out a green shirt and said, "Childe, let's change clothes." ”
Chen Yan shook his head and said, "No need, my clothes are almost the same, and if I change them, I don't change them." I'll go to the feast, lock the door, and I'll go and get back quickly. ”
"Out of the way! Don't be anxious, lest you miss something. ”
Women are always precocious than men, and Shuang'er is fifteen years old this year, and he was born in a poor family, so he has known many things for a long time. She said it vaguely, but she could understand it. This girl really doesn't have any other thoughts, she really doesn't have the habit of eating grass next to the nest.
Out of the door, Chen Yan found an ox cart on the main street, which is not close to the spring breeze and rain building, he is not short of money now, so he naturally has to enjoy this ancient taxi, so in the driver's voice, he drove slowly to the spring breeze and rain building.
At the beginning of the lanterns, this time was the time when the Qinglou tiles were lively, Chen Yan got off the ox cart, paid for the car, and looked at the big plaque in front of the building, always feeling a little uneasy. What kind of person is Zhu Ba, who is a big tyrant of five hundred taels as soon as he makes a move, he was driven by that Liu Dashao, and that Gu Qiaoxi, that is a person who can't even meet Zhao Zongbo and Cao Jingshang, who can't meet the emperor's relatives and relatives, that Liu Dashao can actually let her send a message to herself, and the energy in this is really a little weird. After thinking about it for a while, he didn't remember that there was such a master surnamed Liu in the Great Song Dynasty with such great energy.
Forget it, if you come here, you will be safe, no matter how Niu X is, this Liu Dashao can't do anything to a poor scholar like him, right?
came to the door, and when the leading turtle saw the invitation card that Chen Yan took out, he immediately said with a smile on his face: "Chen Gongzi is here, Liu Gongzi has been waiting for a long time, please come with the little one." ”
The turtle man led Chen Yan into the building, but he walked through the hall and ran to the backyard. Chen Yan didn't ask much, just followed.
After passing through a small garden and passing through two more arches, the turtle man stood down in front of a small courtyard, bowed his head and said, "Chen Gongzi, it's here." Chen Yan reached out and took out a small ingot of silver and threw it to him, stretched out his hand to push open the courtyard door, and walked in.
The turtle man thanked him with a smile, and closed the courtyard door very intimately, muttering a sentence in his mouth, but Chen Yan had already walked into the small courtyard, so naturally he didn't hear it.
This is a very small courtyard, smaller than Chen Yan's house, a blue brick house, under the grape vines, it is really a quiet place. Looking at the environment here, the door opened, and a graceful figure walked out, wearing a light green dress, with her hair in a high bun, simple and luxurious, it was Gu Qiaoxi, who was famous in the capital, and took care of everyone.
"The slave family has seen the childe." Gu Qiaoxi was slightly blessed and said softly.
Chen Yan faced this peerless beauty, and he really didn't know what to say, so he could only go straight to the point: "Okay, okay." By the way, Liu Dashao can be here? ”
"I've heard of the name of Qicheng for a long time, but I only met today. In the first place under the willow, the word cypress, the virtual long Qicheng some years, if Qicheng does not dislike, call the next brother. ”
Chen Yan looked at the man who came out, and suddenly had some doubts, this person was born with a handsome and handsome body, and he was born in a famous family at first glance, but he was full of arrogance between his words, as if he was a big man in the rivers and lakes.
Stretching out his hand to clasp his fists in salute, Chen Yan said: "Chen Qicheng has seen Liu Dashao in Xia, the kid is just a white dress, and he definitely doesn't dare to match Liu Dashao's brothers." ”
Liu Qixian laughed, stepped forward and took his hand and walked towards the house, saying as he walked: "Don't see the outside like this, Brother Qi Chengxian is afraid that he will be so restrained because he doesn't know what he is coming to, let's go in and talk in detail." ”
Chen Yan was pulled into the house by Liu Qixian only to find that in addition to the three of them, there was also a woman dressed as a maid in this small hall, who was similar in age to Shuang'er, but her appearance was excellent, bright and introverted, and she had not fully developed, she must be able to compete with Gu Qiaoxi in three or two years, and I don't know if this woman is Liu Qixian's maid or Gu Qiaoxi's maid.
The three of them sat down, the maid filled the three of them with wine, Liu Qixian raised his glass and said: "If you are polite, Zibai will not say much, I invite Qicheng to come today, I have something to discuss with you." ”
Chen Yan was puzzled, so he asked: "Forgive Qicheng for being rude, this is the first time I have met Young Master Liu, and I really don't know what Young Master Liu has to discuss with him." ”
Liu Qixian took a shallow breath, looked at the maid with his eyes, and said slowly: "In the lower is the owner of Wangchun Building, listening to what the shopkeeper Liu said, Qi Cheng seems to be proficient in a special cooking technique, and Qi Cheng is specially invited to come to discuss cooperation." ”
"Oh! It's this thing! In fact, there is nothing unusual, I saw it from ancient books, Liu Shao also knows, I have been poor since I was a child, and I naturally have to cook in person on weekdays, which are all things that cannot be put on the table, since Liu Shao is interested, then call the chef in the building to learn another day, as for the cooperation, don't mention it again. ”
"Oh?" Liu Qixian asked a little strangely: "Why is this?" Could it be that Qicheng can't look down on us businessmen? ”
Chen Yan took a sip of wine and shook his head with a smile: "There is no such thing!" I'm planning to open a small shop myself. In fact, this stir-fry technique is very simple, you will learn it, and those who are interested in studying it can understand it, and it is not a unique secret technique. If I use this technique to cooperate with Liu Shao, I am afraid that it will be unfair. Although his family is poor, he still understands some truth. ”
Liu Qixian felt a little curious when he heard this, so he asked, "What kind of business is Qicheng going to do?" ”
"Malatang, just a small business. It's being planned, and I don't know if it's feasible or not. ”
Gu Qiaoxi sat between the two, although he was a foil, but he heard some other meanings, this Liu Qixian was not an ordinary person, let alone a businessman. Hedong Liu family, that is a thousand-year-old family, although the family is now weak, but its strength is not to be underestimated, in this Bianliang City, even the imperial relatives do not dare to easily provoke the Hedong Liu family, let alone those so-called high-ranking officials. This Liu Da Shao first used Zhu Ba to test this Chen Qicheng, and then invited him to come here to discuss what cooperation, I am afraid that the drunkard's intention is not to drink, could it be that it has something to do with the little girl behind him?
"Haven't you heard of it, but it's from an ancient book?"
Chen Yan smiled and nodded, in fact, his impression of this Liu Qixian was still good. Although he claims to be a businessman's family, he is full of arrogance in his words, and he has the demeanor of everyone, and it is easy to win the favor of others. The two chatted while drinking, and Liu Qixian kept silent about cooperation, talking about exotic customs, local gossip or something, and the relationship was naturally a lot closer.
Seeing that it was not too early, Chen Yan was going to leave, but Liu Qixian did not stay, but said: "Brother Qi Chengxian, if you want to rent a store, there is a place for my brother, just near Wangchun Tower, the location is not bad, the price, Qi Cheng just looks at it and gives some." ”
That Wangchun Building is adjacent to the Jinshui River, the location is not bad, in the words of later generations, it is a prime location, the rent of a small store is afraid that it will be a hundred taels, and besides, Chen Yan did not plan to rent a store, he planned to buy it, so that it could be done once and for all, so he politely declined.
After Chen Yan left, Liu Qixian sat down, looked at the wine glass, and said in a low voice: "How is it?" ”
The maid sat beside him, pouting, "Okay." It's just that this Liu Qicheng is also a scholar, how could he think of opening a store? The five hundred taels of silver were enough for him to spend for a few years. ”
Liu Qixian turned his head to look at his sister and said slowly: "People can't look good. ”
"Why?"
"Have you forgotten who my brother and I studied with? Listening to his words and looking at his deeds, this person is born with shallow blessings, but he is full of creation, if there is an opportunity, he will definitely soar to the sky. ”
