Chapter 10 Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat dried shrimp
The raindrops outside the window hit the slightly yellowed window lattice, splashing a piece of serenity and laziness, Bianjing City has not experienced such a continuous heavy rain for many years. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The turquoise lotus leaf finally lowered its proud little head, and lay languid on the pond in the courtyard of the cyclamen restaurant, and a cute little frog jumped curiously towards the lotus leaf.
The faint ripples through the turbid pool water, there is a fascinating change, for a time the brilliance is moving, and a clever bubble quietly floats out from under the pool water.
The cute little frog, turning its clever big eyes, looked curiously at the bright bubbles one by one, and the faint raindrops knocked out the crisp drum beat, it seemed to be shocked by this amazing scene.
Suddenly, a bloody mouth poked out of the unfathomable pool water, and the little frog did not feel this danger, but only stared intently at the constantly flickering brilliance.
"Huh!"
The crisp sound of water waves bouncing suddenly sounded, and a sturdy black fish jumped out of the water with its huge fangs and sharp mouth, and the huge splash made the whole pond mess.
After a few seconds, everything was calm, and all that remained was the murky water, the restless waves, and the frightened lotus leaves.
At this moment, in the brightly lit cyclamen restaurant, the atmosphere froze in vain.
Zhao Tianqi looked at Bai Qiu and Cai Qian's-for-tat confrontation with some interest, and he had some inexplicable premonitions in his heart, this war without gunpowder, if he participated in it, it would definitely be a crisis and an opportunity.
Cai Qian, Zhao Tianqi still knows a little about this person, Cai Juan, the former minister in the late Northern Song Dynasty, a figure who is not very famous in history. However, his fate was closely linked to his father Cai Jing, and he had an inexplicable relationship with the emperor of the dynasty, Song Huizong.
Unlike Cai You, Cai Qian does have a completely different personality from his eldest brother.
During the reign of Emperor Zhezong of the Song Dynasty, Cai You was only twenty-two or three years old when he was only twenty-two or three years old, and he already knew how to seize every opportunity to pave the way for his future.
At that time, Cai You could catch up with the courtiers to retreat from the court every time he went to the court, and he calculated the time to come out so that he could meet the Duan King of the next dynasty. So, every time King Duan went down to the court, he could see a young man with beautiful eyebrows who was a few years older than himself dismounted and stood on the side, humble and polite, and amiable to watch.
King Duan asked the servants on the left and right, which family the young man was the son of, and the left and right said, "It's Cai Chengzhi's son." Duanwang secretly remembered his person in his heart, this Duanwang was no one else, he was the later Song Huizong.
And Cai Qian is indeed different, he disdains to use this method to get the attention of others, and he is not willing to exchange absurd words for an official position, so, compared to Cai You, Cai Qian has nothing more outstanding in history except for those two books.
However, according to what Zhao Tianqi has seen in the history of the wilderness, this Cai Qian is cunning by nature, even Cai Jing is slightly inferior to him.
Perhaps because he is not valued by Cai Jing, he has been thoughtful since he was a child, and he will spend time planning what he wants little by little.
On the contrary, this Bai Qiu is even more different.
A few years ago, at the martial arts competition in Bianjing, Bai Qiu was quietly born and became a celebrity in Bianjing City in one fell swoop with the first position in force.
Immediately afterwards, Bai Qiu was like a demon king of the mixed world, making waves in this Bianjing City.
Of course, the Demon King of the Mixed World is only for those sons.
Because of Bai Qiu's arrival, they have lost a lot of opportunities to bully men and women, but they can't beat it, and they want to use the power of their family to oppress, who knows, this Bai Qiu has become the largest ironware manufacturer in Bianjing City.
Now, how many grievances cannot be repaid.
If you think about it carefully, such a-for-tat taste can be understood.
Cai Qian is Cai Jing's fourth son, and like his old son, he is sleek, like a loach, slippery and does not stick to his hands.
And this Bai Qiu has another attitude, vigorous and resolute, upright, and most unaccustomed to hypocrisy and wrongdoing.
On weekdays, the two do not intersect, like parallel lines, they have never been seen.
Unexpectedly, today's Zhao Tianqi's sudden storytelling conference, Bai Qiu and Cai Qian were called over by Lin An, Zhao Tianqi looked at Lin An's embarrassed smile, and couldn't help but sigh lightly, fat man, fat man, you have given me a big gift.
Zhao Tianqi patted Ah Fu on the shoulder and asked, "The Purple Smoke Girl is in this cyclamen restaurant?" ”
Ah Fu leaned over and said softly: "Earlier, I asked Miss Xiuchun to inform Miss, if nothing else, Miss Ziyan will be in the dark room on the third floor, observing everything here. ”
When Zhao Tianqi heard this, he made up his mind.
He slurped, clapped his hands, broke the tense atmosphere of the cyclamen restaurant, he smiled lightly, arched his hand at Bai Qiu and Cai Xuan, and said solemnly: "Two old brothers, although this cyclamen restaurant is just a weak woman's unintentional work, but if it makes a noise like this and spreads out, I am afraid it will damage the face of the two." ”
Cai Qian frowned when he saw Zhao Tianqi stepping forward, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, didn't this person know his identity? Didn't he come so abruptly on this occasion to put himself in his place?
Cai Qian glared at Lin An viciously, snorted coldly, and was about to step forward to teach Zhao Tianqi a lesson, but heard Bai Qiu smile heartily: "Ha, Brother Zhao, this is to blame me for making the atmosphere of the cyclamen uncomfortable, and I specially came to give you eye medicine for Brother Bai." ”
When Zhao Tianqi heard this, his eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of inexplicable excitement in his heart, this Bai Qiu's words nakedly implied that he was willing to befriend him.
Come to think of it, if you make friends with one party at will, you will completely stand in this Bianjing City.
Cai Qian is Lin An's eldest brother, thinking that he has become friends with Bai Qiu, he will not be too embarrassed by himself, if Bai Qiu takes advantage of this to make trouble, he will not be able to eat and leave.
Zhao Tianqi is not an ignorant person, these words made him feel a little relieved, no matter what, as long as he speaks out, this big boat, he is bound, after thinking about it, Zhao Tianqi touched his nose and said a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, big brother Bai, the younger brother is not welcome, I want to accompany you." ”
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Bai Qiu's mouth, swept Cai Sui's expression with his eyes, and said to Zhao Tianqi: "My brother, there is no need to say so, but it is a joke for outsiders." ”
Zhao Tianqi laughed and stopped talking, he knew that the next thing was Bai Qiu and Cai Qian's little trick, and things at this level were not something he could participate in.
Cai Qiu's face shook slightly, this Bai Qiu clearly did not give himself face.
"Bai Qiu, your late-night visit has surprised Juan, on weekdays, don't you also have to drink a little wine to see which woman can meet your appetite?" Cai Qian pursed her lips, gently fanned the white paper fan in her hand, and said to him mercilessly.
Bai Qiu didn't care, picked up the small wine glass on the wooden table, and said to Zhao Tianqi with a strange expression: "Brother Zhao, do you know why you, a cyclamen, are gradually losing customers? ”
When Zhao Tianqi heard this, he smiled faintly, gently tugged the corner of his clothes with both hands, and said to Bai Qiu: "Little brother doesn't know, please make it clear to Brother Bai." ”
"This wine, if it is a good wine, has the taste it deserves, and it is fragrant and sweet in the mouth, and it seals the throat. If the wine is a little worse, it doesn't matter, ordinary people can't taste it, and no one carefully investigates why the wine tastes bad. It's just that this business must be real, you see, your wine glass is too small, and it makes people unhappy to drink. Bai Qiu poured the turbid liquid in the cup on the ground and looked at Cai Qian with Erlang's legs crossed.
"If a person is not good, it doesn't matter, if the heart is broken, then there will be no more success in his life, plus the pattern is so small, the great ability can't be saved." Bai Qiu picked up the wine jug on the table, slapped the lid off, and poured it into his mouth happily.
"Cai Xuan, did you say?"
Hearing this, Cai Qian squinted his eyes and said a little casually: "Brother Bai refers to Qiang's personality, isn't it?" ”
Bai Qiu didn't answer, just got up, filled the glasses of all the guests of the cyclamen restaurant, and then returned to his seat and smiled faintly.
"Good wine, Qiu's favorite drink is this cyclamen fruit wine, presumably Brother Zhao presented us today is the good wine hidden when this cyclamen restaurant opened, Qiu is here for the guests to thank in advance." Bai Qiu smiled heartily and arched his hand at Zhao Tianqi.
When everyone heard this, some were simple, some hesitated, they knew very well that this time pouring wine, it was actually Bai Qiu who was re-ranking, he wanted to know how many people in this restaurant were in line with him.
Cai Xuan's eyes narrowed into a straight line.
Suddenly, the guards beside him shouted: "Young master, I suddenly remembered my humble position, my lord asked me to take you to the northern suburbs study to discuss things, and the crime of humble duty deserves death, please punish the young master!" ”
The guard knelt suddenly, relieving the tension in the cyclamen.
"You dog, you actually delayed the big thing I was waiting for, see that I don't break your dog's leg when I go back." Cai Qian watched the man kneel on the ground, first stunned, and then scolded angrily.
After reining a little, Cai Qian smiled at Bai Qiu and said, "It seems that Qian needs to take the first step." ”
Bai Qiu didn't answer, just waved his hand and said to Zhao Tianqi: "Brother, thank you for the fruit wine." ”
Zhao Tianqi's heart tightened, waved his hand lightly, and said righteously: "Brother Bai can come to taste this wine, it is an honor for cyclamen, how can I thank you." This Bai Qiu actually used him as a shield, how could the eldest husband endure this humiliation...... Just kidding, I can't help but have to endure it, I finally hugged such a thigh, how can I easily show my cowardice and make others laugh.
Cai Qian shook his brows, and said to Lin An with interest: "Anzi, your little brother is a little interesting." ”
Lin An'an's head trembled, and he hurriedly stepped forward and smiled at Cai Xuan: "Uncle, my little brother is treated like a friend by your fourth sister, how can I not be kind to him?" ”
Hearing Lin An's words, Cai Qian glanced at him deeply, fanned the white paper fan in his hand, and said softly: "That's the abrupt Qi Tang." ”
"Let's go."
Cai Qian gently arched his hand towards the third floor, and at the moment when he was about to go out, he said leisurely: "Since this is the case, then let's come to the future." ”
