The New Year of Zhenglong in the twelfth year is not happy for many people in Jindu. Some people can't be happy, and some people don't dare to be happy. But in short, it's all unhappy.

Compared with the past, the specific manifestation of unhappiness is that the various entertainment activities in Jindu have decreased significantly.

The Kyoto Prefecture has issued an entertainment restriction order, and the business hours of restaurants and fireworks alleys have been specifically and strictly restricted. The banks of the Huangjing River began to be depressed, the tourists gradually thinned, and the dignitaries and dignitaries also obviously went in and out. The last time this kind of depression was back more than 20 years ago in the Great War of Qin and Jin.

As for restaurants, when food becomes a scarce item and the price of food reaches the limit that the government can control, the luxury of alcohol naturally needs to be banned first. The current Jindu, if there is not much relationship, it is impossible to get wine in the restaurant.

As for the western suburbs, which had flourished in the past few years, it has now decayed sharply to the point that only dry rivers and dry grass remain. Many wealthy businessmen who had previously invested money again in construction now regret it. However, if this situation is known to Yang Sanzao, who has been transferred to Xuchang in Jinyang Road several times, he will definitely applaud. You must know that he used the development of the western suburbs to make a handful of silver, political achievements and official reputation.

Nowadays, the most lively place in Jindu is Juxian Building, which has only been built in the past two years, and was formerly the industry of the Xie family. After the decline of the Xie family, a large number of industries were transferred out, but after most of the industries were transferred out, the new owners could not make new achievements.

However, this Juxian Building, because it is said to have a military background, can in just two years, the limelight has surpassed most of its peers in Jindu, only one line worse than Huangjing Building.

Nowadays, this restaurant has become the first choice for most officials to entertain colleagues and discuss important matters outside.

The voices of the people were boiling, and the smiling shopkeepers who came and went quickly and calmly shuttled through the cramped passages, calling for the dishes and the big voices of the names of the dishes, which made people feel its prosperity. Vaguely, the officials and wealthy businessmen who have been overwhelmed by the past two years can still reminisce about the prosperity of the Jindu in such shouts.

Of course, today's Jindu can never be called dilapidated, except that the price of food is higher, there is less entertainment, there are more soldiers, and the rules are stricter.

The hall on the first floor is basically rich people who come and go to Jindu, and it doesn't have much to do with it, and the seats reserved with thick waist bags are the most noisy and the most market-like.

Yes, the atmosphere of the market, which was unreasonable in the past. But under the circumstance that Jindu's entertainment restriction order is so strict, this high-end restaurant has become mixed.

A man sat at a table, and he was the only one at the table, which was rare in a crowded hall, so everyone who walked by with curious eyes wondered if this man was waiting for someone.

Oh, another begging for help......

People with such speculations and some malicious expectations were quickly pulled back by their own affairs. The man is handsome, but after all, he is not a person of Song and Wei, and in today's situation, all kinds of textiles are the top priority, and it will not cause any chaos.

This is a restaurant with the back and scenery of the military, even if some people are in a bad mood and want to make trouble, they don't dare to make trouble here.

It's not that they haven't learned from the past, and those few businessmen from other places who were taken away by the military and now don't know whether they are dead or not are good examples.

After a while, the man's eyes changed when he looked at the gate, he got up, and then took two steps to meet the man just right, with a smile on his face.

A young man who was obviously looking at him walked over, and when he came over, he arrogantly pushed the two people away, which made many people unhappy. Yet the young man was still arrogant, and he did not apologize, or even squint. Four or five people behind him who seemed to have flesh in their bodies looked at those people, and the momentum of the other party who was ready to make people angry fell, and then he stopped.

"You, you...... It's still like this......"

The man smiled and spoke, and the young man snorted lightly and asked, "Right here?" My sister didn't come? ”

Without waiting for the man to reply, the young man muttered, "This place...... No wonder my sister didn't come. ”

The man was not angry, he still smiled and asked, "Qingyu, how many of you?" ”

"Buddies in the army, I originally came to find a better place to eat and have fun, but I didn't expect to make a ball in this hall...... I said brother-in-law, you are the brother-in-law who welcomed your triumphant return to Beijing? ”

If there are acquaintances, you can see at a glance at this time that this man is the person who joined the Li family in the Jin capital two years ago, and the arrogant young man opposite the man is Li Qingyu, the big man of the Li family. It turned out that after graduating from the martial arts hall, he entered the army, and now he has served on the Western Front for a year, and he has won a small victory.

They each reported their names, and in a few simple words, the man understood that the few people brought back by his brother-in-law were his brothers who had died on the battlefield, two Shandong people, one Huaiyang Daoist, and two Jinyang Dao people, one of whom was a small scholar in Jindu, and he had a bit of a way in the military. Several people still don't know Li Qingyu's true identity.

During the conversation, Li Qingyu was disappointed that this brother-in-law was obviously not as attentive as his sister said, and only served a small jar of wine.

He Li Dagongzi originally wanted to arrange it by himself, and the first letter he sent home was to his sister, but his sister's reply made him uncomfortable.

Your brother-in-law is in Juxian Building to pick you up and wash the dust.

Your brother-in-law...... Your brother-in-law...... Wash your dust......

Li Qingyu was really disappointed.

This brother-in-law is really just a brother-in-law......

Fortunately, the color is not bad, it may be that he got a message, and the things made by his own chef are very suitable for the taste of people in the army, even the little scholar clan in Jindu is full of praise.

"In the first two years, there was no Juxian Building, and I came back for a trip in the ninth year, and it was originally the Xie family's industry, and the main food was still Yiren barbecue. Although the flavor has changed now, the taste of this new dish is ...... Hehe, I'll tell you the truth, it's pretty good. ”

"What good food can you eat in a place like that on the Western Front...... Xiao Hunshan's time, not to mention the food, Mader didn't eat and it was not hot. ”

"Puff......" The man almost squirted out a mouthful. This made Li Qingyu frown.

"Hehe, I smiled...... I knew that the military was hard, but I didn't want to ...... It's herring you....... Ahem, you don't have to worry about me, keep talking about yours. ”

The man said this, although he was concerned and regretful, but in Li Qingyu's ears, it was a little ironic.

Do you still think I'm the eldest young master....... The resentment was bred in Li Qingyu's heart, and with the previous dissatisfaction, his face was a little unbearable.

The atmosphere after that was obviously a little stiff, but fortunately, the five people in the army did not talk much, the topics were not extensive, and there was not much wine, so this hall was not boring, but it was also quite quiet.

After a meal, because it deviated from what I imagined, the topic of where to go to play was naturally not brought up, and when it was over, it began to ramble.

A young man from the Jindu Xiaoshi clan is called Pang Chun, who was used to seeing Li Qingyu's dominance when he was in the army, and he was impressed that Li Qingyu could order a table of meals here, but compared to "calling the top brand of two Huangjing Lou to warm his feet", there is still a big gap, seeing that Li Qingyu is embarrassed and depressed, he has no contempt and disdain in his heart, but he is in trouble with this big character but dares to save his life on the battlefield, so he intends to enlighten. It was vaguely revealed that he could find a relationship, and one day he would go to the Huangjing Building, and he didn't dare to say the top card, but the silver was spent, and the girl would definitely not be bad.

Several people were happy, Li Qingyu understood the meaning of the robe, and was grateful, and his face softened a lot.

“...... Today's Jindu is not as good as a year, if it weren't for the war, hey! When you come to the capital, I can take you for a good walk at night, and now the lights are blinding......."

"Oh? I also came to Jindu once back then, but unfortunately I didn't go to the ...... much."

"There are several major landscapes in Jindu, and the suburbs of the west city are counted as one, and the Huangjing Building is needless to say, but it is a pity that the Xie family's style museum was all-encompassing......

"The outskirts of the West Side?" Li Qingyu pursed his lips disdainfully.

Pang Chun was a little surprised, and asked, "What does Xiaoyu mean, don't count the suburbs of Xicheng?" ”

"It's not that it doesn't count, it's just that it's falling too fast, and it's not interesting. Back then, with a few partners, I paid for a restaurant, but now I can't get it back, and I lost tens of thousands of taels. Among them is my sister's part, and she has been counted out for this. ”

The man smiled slightly, a little helpless that Miss Li's private money was squandered by her younger brother.

When Pang Chun heard this, he was secretly speechless.

Tens of thousands of taels, obediently, this is not a small hand. According to this, the few people who partner with Li Qingyu have invested at least 10,000 taels each. The family invested so much, and the suburbs of the west city were prosperous and tight back then, but the people who invested in the money did not even get the money back, which shows that the dilapidated suburbs of the west city are not simple. But since he didn't invest money, there was no gain or loss, and he didn't want to dig deep in a thought.

Wait a minute...... Didn't the western suburbs be built by negotiation between the upper echelons? What is the origin of Li Qingyu, he Pang family has not been able to take it down, how old was Li Qingyu a few years ago? can come up with so much money, the key is that you can still get the approval?

This is, the man who had not spoken much had spoken.

"Your sister has been angry about this for a long time, I know that you are coming back now, you don't have much money on you, when you go back, you will have some silver on the third floor and buy something for your sister. When she learned that you were going to the Western Front, she was reluctant, saying that she couldn't let you die in the west, but she wanted to take a sword to reason with her father and transfer you back......"

Li Qingyu was stunned for a moment, and then nodded. For the first time tonight, I felt better.

When Pang Chun heard this, he was shocked again.

Go up to the third floor and support the silver...... This is Juxian Building, it is said that there is a military back, view, with his level, naturally there is some news, knowing that it is the big boss of the Royal Forest Army who is supporting him, and the person who can spend money at will in the account room of the restaurant of the big man of the Royal Forest Army......

Your sister...... Reason with your father...... Bring you back......

There is a rude sister, listening to the tone of this speech, it seems that she is still a despised son-in-law, this son-in-law's father-in-law is still a big man at the level of the military's call for wind and rain, and in connection with the previous rumors about the characters behind Juxian Tower, Pang Chun set off a huge wave in his heart.

It's the one from the Royal Guards, you can't be wrong!

At this time, Li Jingxi of Shandong Province said with a smile: "No wonder you can lose tens of thousands of taels of silver back then, it turns out that your family is solid, Brother Yu, you are not kind, you said that you came to Jindu and invited us to go to Huangjing Building to order the best first card, you, you...... Hey, don't say it, the rest of the wine, divide it evenly, let's drink it slowly, you dry ...... in one gulp"

Li Qingyu laughed for the first time at the wine table, said that it was no problem, personally served the wine equally, and then drank his share in one gulp.

The man said: "It's not that it's unkind, it's really tonight, my father wants to talk to Qingyu, and he can't delay." Let's talk about herring fish first, but my father said that let you eat and drink well outside and then go back, he waited for you, but since your sister said let me arrange for you, my brother-in-law didn't dare to let you drink too much. ”

"Anyway, tonight is just a random pick-up, three days after the Lantern Festival, not in my own yard, I'm in Huangjing Building, you call someone, I invite you to have a good time."

Li Qingyu was shocked and let out a cold sweat. Dare to love is my father going to talk to himself tonight, no wonder, no wonder...... Fortunately, the man's words were atmospheric, and there was no dangerous information revealed in his tone, so Li Qingyu put his mind at ease, and the smile on his face was much more sincere.
