Chapter Twenty-Six: I Can't Hold My Tongue

There are a total of one hundred and nine squares and three markets in the whole city of Luoyang. There are 28 squares in the eastern part of the northern district and 81 squares in the southern district. The square is square or rectangular, the area is slightly smaller than that of Bianjing, and there are cross-shaped streets in the square, which open on all sides.

All three markets are located in convenient places for water transportation, and the North Market in the North District is the most lively and prosperous. Hanjiacang, which is close to Beishi, often has ships from all over the world gathering on the Xintan and Cao River on the west side of Beishi, so many hotels and restaurants are opened here. She Yikai's Tex Hotel is located on Xintan Street in the North District.

After She Yi took Ruoruo out of the door, he hired a carriage to carry him and Ruoruo around Beishi. Occasionally, I saw something I liked, so I bought it.

While shopping for things, he also looked at various restaurants and restaurants by the way...... The scale of the hotel in Tex is too small, even if it is full all day, the profit is limited, if you want to get more room for development, you need to find another place, relocate, or open a branch.

The main street of the North District is very prosperous, the traffic is large, and there are a few restaurants that have a good business, although it is not as good as Tex, but the benefits are definitely about the same. Among them, the most conspicuous restaurant is Shunfeng Restaurant.

When She Yi's carriage passed by Shunfeng Restaurant, he asked the coachman to stop, opened the curtain, poked his head out, and looked at Shunfeng Restaurant from a distance. Ruoruo also came over, and the two watched together.

Shunfeng Restaurant is a reading restaurant, the scale is very large, upstairs and downstairs have dining tables and private rooms, outside the restaurant, listening to four or five luxury carriages, obviously there are prominent figures dining in the restaurant. Several inscriptions on the signboard of Shunfeng Restaurant are very conspicuous, and there are signatures, which should be inscribed by a well-known person, who is the specific inscription, because the distance is too far, She Yi can't see clearly.

"This restaurant is so big, when can we get so big......

Ruoruo said in an envious tone.

She Yi smiled.

……

On the second floor of Shunfeng Restaurant, in a window-facing private room near the street, Wang Dashun stood in front of the window, standing with his hands in his hands, calmly watching the people coming and going on the street.

In more than a month, he has gradually come out of the shadow of that nightmare...... After a few days of investigation, we generally knew what happened that night.

The catchers who had a dispute with him, one was Lengquan and the other was Yan Chi. It was these two catchers who rescued him back. They can't afford to provoke it, because the force behind the Tex Hotel is the Rongwang Mansion in Luoyang City.

How big is King Rong's power...... Not what they could have imagined. The Wang family is a businessman after all, even if they have money, how can they move the Rongwang Mansion in Luoyang City.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Wang Dashun's mouth...... What is the details of Dong Bicheng Yue Shan'er, he can't be clearer anymore, so he won't believe that the backstage of the Tex Hotel is Rongwang's Mansion. If there was such a thing, Dong Bicheng and his father would not have died early. He and a person who is good at thinking calmly and insidiously, although he has made a judgment, but he will not make a move for the time being. He's going to wait, and when it's safe, he'll strike a fatal blow......

It was at this moment that his gaze rested on the carriage across the street. A young man in the carriage poked his head out and seemed to stare at the Shunfeng restaurant for a long time...... His brow furrowed, wondering who was coming......

At this moment, the young man who poked his head out raised his head and swept his gaze over him. The eyes of the two happened to be intertwined......

"It's ...... you"

Wang Dashun will never forget this face, his fists are clenched, his pupils are contracted, and the green tendons on his forehead are slightly raised.

……

When She Yi saw the face inside the window on the second floor, he was also stunned for a moment, and then smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and waved it gently. It's like meeting a friend you haven't seen in years, waving and saying hello.

"Uncle, have you met an acquaintance?"

Ruoruo's head didn't poke out, she didn't see Wang Dashun upstairs, she saw She Yi waving her arms, and asked curiously.

"Well, it's Wang Dashun."

She Yi said casually.

"And you're going to say hello to him?"

Ruoruo had a surprised expression on her face.

She Yi retracted her head and closed the curtain. After thinking for a moment, he spoke slowly.

"If so, remember that a wolf lurking in the shadows is far more dangerous than a tiger in the open......"

"That's ......"

Ruoruo nodded as if he didn't understand.

……

Luopu Street is on the edge of the Luo River, and in fact, its location still belongs to Beicheng District. The Accord is located at the head of the Luoyang Bridge on Luopu Long Street.

She Yi let the carriage stop opposite the Accord, paid the car, and took Ruoruo across the street and into the Accord.

Because the storyteller didn't tell the story, there weren't many people in the Accord, and it seemed a little empty. She Yi found an empty tea table in the southwest corner and sat down face to face with Ruoruo.

The shopkeeper hurriedly came up and poured tea, and asked She Yi if she needed melon seeds and fruits again, She Yi shook her head, and the shopkeeper retreated.

The tea in this Accord is more expensive than the tea in an ordinary tea house, and a pot of tea costs 20 yuan. Fruits and melon seeds are also more expensive than those outside, just like the drinks and snacks in the KTV bars in the later generations are more expensive than those in the supermarkets outside, which is the same reason.

Ruoruo was like a little adult, picked up the tea and took a sip, but his tongue was burned, and he hurriedly fanned it with his small hand. She Yi smiled and didn't say anything about her. Looking up and scanning the first floor, in fact, it was the first time he came here, there was no Internet in those days, and he couldn't look up information on the Internet. How to buy and sell messages he doesn't know very well.

So, he needs to observe others. He imitates how others buy information......

The first floor was quiet, and She Yi didn't see a reason for looking at it for a long time, so she simply withdrew her gaze and drank tea with Ruo Ruo.

After about a quarter of an hour, the number of people on the first floor gradually increased, and listening to the conversation at the adjacent table, it seemed that Mr. Storyteller was about to come to tell the story, and the content of the book was that Goryeo sent his children to school a while ago. It is said that there were also several stunning beauties from Goryeo.

The topic of their conversation was whether these Goryeo beauties were beautiful, or the girls of the Shaolin abbot of the post-80s generation in Bianjing City.

She Yi's brows furrowed, puzzled, plastic surgery is not popular these days, can the girl with a high pie face be as beautiful as the girl of the Shaolin abbot after the 80s? It seems that Master Li, the first stunning beauty in Bianjing, is the post-80s Shaolin abbot...... If this Master Li is placed in the next generation, he can be equivalent to a superstar, and his fans are often millions...... How can the Korean flatbread face girls be compared?

"Will you die if you don't pretend to be 13! Uncle, let's go boating, there are a lot of people here, it's noisy. ”

If you see a few pretending scholars sitting on the table behind She Yi with scarves on their heads, holding folding fans, and pretending to be in a posture, there is an expression of disgust on their faces.

She Yi smiled and turned his head to look at it...... When I saw these scholars, I vaguely felt a little familiar, as if I had seen them somewhere. After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly came back to his senses, weren't these scholars the same ones he met when he first came to Luoyang? He still remembered that one of them was called Weiyangsheng and the other was Shangguansheng.

She Yi had a surprised look on her face.

When the scholars behind She Yi saw She Yi looking back at them, they also recognized She Yi and showed surprised expressions.

"Little brother...... I didn't expect to meet you here......"

The look of surprise on the face of the short and fat Shangguan Sheng disappeared and turned into an excited expression.

"A few brothers, the mountain does not turn around, but I waited to meet here, fortunately, fortunately, come...... Brother, I will replace the wine with tea, and I will toast you with a glass. ”

She Yi reached out and picked up the teacup on the table, stood up and said with a smile.

"Yay......"

Shangguan Sheng and several scholars picked up their teacups, stood up, and smiled. Only Wei Yangsheng sat on the seat and did not get up, the expression on his face was as cold as ice.

She Yi's eyes fell on Wei Yangsheng's body, and the eyes of several other scholars also fell on Wei Yangsheng's body. One of the scholars gave Wei Yangsheng a look and motioned for him to stand up. Unexpectedly, Weiyangsheng didn't buy it, but turned his head arrogantly.

The scene was embarrassing for a while......

"Hehe, Brother Weiyang must be angry about Jia Yi's little brother who wrote a poem to tease him last time, you don't need to care, let's do it first......"

Shangguan Sheng's brows twitched, and he said with a smile.

"Good ......"

"Good!"

Several other scholars chimed in and drank all the tea in their cups. She Yi also drank the tea in the cup.

"Brothers, are you ......busy?"

She Yi made a compilation, turned around, and sat down.

"The little brother scolded me like that last time, and he didn't think about it if it wasn't a cup of tea...... It's too child's play! ”

At this moment, Wei Yangsheng slowly turned his head and said in a cold tone.

"Brother Weiyang, Mr. has said it, that's not a scolding."

Shangguan Sheng hurriedly said. That said that he was teased, Weiyangsheng wrote a poem and scolded him, and in the end, he was scolded by this young man inside and out, and he was in a very happy mood. Speaking of which, this young man is still his benefactor, and now he naturally has to be whitewashed.

"Since Shangguan is so happy, then ...... That poem, how to send you ......"

Wei Yangsheng sneered.

"Brother Weiyang laughed, that poem was tailor-made for you by Brother Jia Yi, and I can't afford it."

The smile on Shangguan Sheng's face was even stronger, and several scholars on the side showed stupid expressions. They have the same idea as Shangguan Sheng, the rice paper is not born in Yang, the pen is also born in Weiyang, and the person who is scolded is naturally born in Weiyang......

"You!"

Wei Yangsheng is like a kitten whose tail has been trampled, and the anger on his face is undisguised. The reason for his anger was not that the poem scolded him. But after being abused as the first genius of Luoyang Academy, he didn't react yet. That's what hurts him......

There were a lot of tea drinkers on the first floor at this time, and after hearing the sound of the quarrel here, they all looked this way. For a moment, the first floor was quiet again.

Wei Yangsheng saw so many people on the first floor looking at him, he forcibly suppressed his anger, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said loudly in the direction of She Yi.

"Young man, do you dare to fight with Wei Mou!"

Wei Yangsheng's voice was particularly loud, full of challenging surnames, and the entire first floor could be heard clearly and truly. Shangguan Sheng, as well as several scholars along with him, all looked at Weiyang Sheng in surprise, not knowing what Weiyang Sheng was going to try.

She Yi, who had just sat back in his seat, slowly turned his head sideways, looked at the next table with a smile, paused, and said loudly.

"Why don't you dare...... I don't know what Brother Taiwan intends to do? ”

"Okay, ambitious, since the young man has some talent, let's try to match the pair. Take a hundred taels of silver as a bet, how! ”

Wei Yangsheng's tone was aggressive, and the taste of provocation was even more obvious.

Shangguan Sheng and several scholars were stunned...... You must know that this Weiyang student is the first talent of their Luoyang Academy, and he is scheduled to be the "seed player" of the next Lantern Festival Poetry Meeting. Now I actually want to compete with a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy in a couplet, which is not clearly a big bully...... Bullying the weak...... And, a hundred taels were added...... ......

Shangguan Sheng and the others sighed, thinking that this young man was still angry. The couplet only pays attention to the neatness of the battle, the balance and coordination, and is not as particular as the poem. People who are older and read a lot naturally have a great advantage. Even if this young man has some talent, he can make one or two good poems. But after all, he has limited knowledge and limited books he has read, so how can he be the opponent of Weiyangsheng.

The corners of She Yi's mouth curled, he paused slightly, and slowly spoke......

"Brother Taiwan is a little stingy, how can you be embarrassed to take out a hundred taels of silver, how about five hundred taels?"

"Ah......h

"Ahh

Everyone on the first floor of the Accord was stunned......

"Five hundred taels......"

Some swallowed...... What does five hundred taels of silver mean...... It means that nightshade ** is more than enough for a year......

The corners of Wei Yangsheng's mouth moved, he always thought that a hundred taels of silver could make this young man's farts flow and his face was like ashes, but he was not only indifferent, but also too little, increasing to five hundred taels......

His eyes looked the young man up and down, thinking that he could have five hundred taels of silver?

"Brother Tai, are you wondering if I have five hundred taels of silver? Hehe, you can rest assured...... These are the money citations issued by Qian Yin (banknotes and silver bills in the late Northern Song Dynasty, which were changed from Jiaozi), which are 500 taels.

She Yi reached out and took out a stack of money from his arms, and stroked it with his other hand.

A few people nearby looked at the money in She Yi's hand carefully, these money citations were very well printed, drawings and seals, obviously not fake, according to the denomination of the top one, counted carefully, there were really more than five hundred taels......

"It's true...... This young man really has five hundred taels ......"

"Wow......"

"Wow ......"

Everyone on the first floor was amazed.

Wei Yangsheng unconsciously became nervous, although his family was rich, it had not reached the realm of using five hundred taels of silver as a small amount of money......

Originally, he only wanted to avenge the last time with one arrow, but in the end he won, and he wouldn't ask this young man for a hundred taels of silver. Unexpectedly......

Weiyang Sheng looked at She Yi up and down, left and right, carefully and seriously, this young man was smiling, loyal and honest, and at first glance he was the target of being slaughtered...... I was overjoyed...... Although he had no more than a hundred taels of silver on him...... But borrowing some from a few friends can always make up 500 taels of "gambling money".
