Liu Xiu walked into the east view of Nangong with a smile, greeted everyone he saw, and then took an invitation card from Zhang Fei's hand behind him, and handed it over with both hands: "The hall will open tomorrow, and I would like to invite Mr. to come." ”

The five senses Zhonglang General Tang Yudian and Guanglu Doctor Yang Ci looked at the invitation card in their hands, and looked at each other again, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes, what does this mean?

Yang Ci pulled over the counseling doctor Ma Yueyan who passed by: "Uncle Weng, who is this?" ”

Ma Yueyan held a large stack of bamboo slips in his hand, so he had to use his chin to indicate the invitation card on the bamboo slips: "Isn't there a name on it?" You don't tell me you don't know these words, do you? ”

The words on the invitation are small seals, but Tang Yudian and Yang Ci are both people who participated in the examination of the Five Classics, of course they all know these words, but they don't know who Liu Xiu is on the letter, and what is even more puzzling is how he ran to the palace.

"Liu Xiu, you don't know?" Ma Yueyan couldn't help laughing: "Lu Zigan's disciple, the one who beat Yuan Highway with a blue nose and swollen eyes with a pair of five a few days ago. ”

Tang Yudian and Yang Ci suddenly realized, it turned out to be this one, seeing that he was quiet, he smiled when he saw people, but he didn't expect that it was the fierce man who dared to practice with Yuan Shu outside the palace. Yang Ci frowned, and then asked, "What kind of restaurant is this Luofu Noodle Restaurant?" Is he going to open a museum to teach apprentices? ”

Ma Yueyan was also confused, shook his head and said, "I don't know, I'll ask Cai Bojiao later, he must know." After speaking, he walked away with the bamboo slips. Tang Yudian looked at the invitation card in his hand and praised it: "Good calligraphy, I'm afraid that Shi Yiguan will also give three points, no wonder he can open the museum to teach apprentices." He saw that Yang Ci's face was wrong, his eyes rolled, and he laughed softly: "What's wrong?" ”

Yang Ci smiled awkwardly, said that it was okay, walked to the side, and threw the invitation aside. Yuan Shu's sister is his daughter-in-law, Yuan Shu was beaten by Liu Xiu with a blue nose and swollen eyes, afraid of being cleaned up by his son Yuan Feng, and afraid of being laughed at by his cousin Yuan Shao, he didn't dare to go home, he hid in his house to recuperate in the past two days, and tossed his newborn grandson Yang Xiu when he was idle, that look was a little wrong, and now Yang Ci understood why Yuan Shu had a bad impression of his newborn nephew, and it turned out that the face of his noble son was also called Xiu.

"Sir?" Liu Xiu screamed, Cai Yong raised his head from the book, and the white hair on his sideburns was particularly dazzling. "Deran, what's the matter?"

"I opened a noodle shop, and I invite my husband to have a show." Liu Xiu smiled, took out a special invitation from his arms and pushed it in front of Cai Yong. Cai Yong smiled, took it with his left hand, opened it, and couldn't help but smile: "Open the museum to teach apprentices?" What does this noodle shop teach? ”

The shops of the Han Dynasty were generally called restaurants, all of which were opened in the market, those who sold wine were called wine shops, those who sold meat were called meat shops, there were no halls, and those who called halls were all high-grade, such as school halls, libraries, and no matter how bad they were, they were also martial arts halls - there were many masters in Luoyang, and there were martial arts halls that specialized in teaching martial arts. What is a noodle restaurant, Cai Yong heard of it for the first time.

"The noodles are soup cakes, but they are a little different from the usual soup cakes." Although Cai Yong is a well-educated person, he is easy-going, and Liu Xiu is not polite, he doesn't wait for him to be invited, and sits down by himself. "My soup cake is a good thing, and it is very face-saving to eat, so I changed the name to noodles."

When Cai Yong heard that the noodle restaurant was such a thing, he was angry and funny, threw the invitation card casually, tapped the bookcase with his fingers, and scolded with a smile: "Deran, you are really nonsense, open a restaurant, and dare to come to Dongguan to invite guests." Do you know what this place is and who these people are? ”

"Yes." Liu Xiu disagreed: "This is the place where the Han Dynasty has the largest collection of books, and you are all the most learned scholars in the Han Dynasty, who have just completed the great cause of the world and revised the Five Classics." ”

"I thought you didn't know." Cai Yong waved his hand, signaling him to leave quickly if he was okay and not to make trouble. Liu Xiu remained silent and asked rhetorically: "Scholars don't eat?" ”

"What are you talking about?" Cai Yong was a little angry, "Scholars want to eat, but they won't give you a restaurant to cheer upon, right?" Deran, I know that you are very favored by the Queen Mother now, you can come to this Nangong casually, what about Dongguan, you can also come at will, collect books, you can read at will, but this person is not something you can invite casually......"

"Alright, alright." Liu Xiu saw that Cai Yong had signs of making a big talk, and hurriedly stopped.

Since successfully deceived the tears of the queen mother, the queen mother gave him an official position of a councillor in order to let him enter the palace at any time to accompany her to tell jokes and sing slang songs, and had the privilege of entering and leaving the palace. Cai Yong obviously disagreed with the Queen Mother's decision, maybe he had been scratched behind his back, but it didn't work, and now he sent it to the door to ask for criticism, Cai Yong had the intention of not letting him go. But he is not interested in hearing this, Luo Shi Noodle Restaurant will open tomorrow, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, if you want to use Taixue as a stable source of customers, the appeal of Dongguan and these scholars should not be underestimated, otherwise he would not have personally sent invitations.

"Sir, my noodle shop is no ordinary restaurant, you can take a look tomorrow." Liu Xiu pointed to the invitation on Cai Yong's case: "Sir, why don't you take a look at it?" ”

"What's there to see." Cai Yong was a little annoyed, regretting that he was too polite to Liu Xiu at the beginning, this kid not only started a business, but also regarded them as a foil for the immediate recruitment, and actually asked them to go to his shabby restaurant to open a party, is it so humiliating? While thinking about it, Cai Yong opened the invitation, and when his eyes flickered, the muttering in his mouth immediately stopped. He put down the pen in his right hand, unfolded the invitation with both hands, and raised his eyebrows twice: "This is the ancient text you said?" ”

Liu Xiu smiled and nodded smugly, he knew that Cai Yong would have this expression - just like an opium ghost saw the high-grade Fushou ointment, and Grande saw gold, and the entire pore was full of greed.

“…… The car is a worker,...... Ma Jitong ......" Cai Yong barely read a few sentences, and he couldn't read anymore, and what made him even more depressed was that he didn't know the first word. He looked at Liu Xiu with some suspicion, got up and walked out, Liu Xiu knew that he must have gone to find a few other experts, so he was not in a hurry, he poured himself a glass of water, and motioned Zhang Fei to take it for himself.

He wrote a few sentences of stone drum text to Cai Yong. The stone drum was unearthed in the Tang Dynasty, and the text used was the Great Seal script of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, which is very different from the ancient text that is now in circulation, and the scholars of later generations have studied for hundreds of years, and finally did not come to an authoritative conclusion, although Cai Yong is very knowledgeable, and he has also studied the ancient text, but he wants to read all these words in a moment, it is also impossible.

In order to invite these scholars to the current spokesperson tomorrow, Liu Xiu has made a bloody investment. If Cai Yong asked where these words came from, he didn't know how to lie.

He was thinking about the opening of the noodle restaurant tomorrow, when suddenly there was a loud bang, the door was pushed open, Cai Yong hit the head, Yang Ci and Tang Yudian followed, several university scholars rushed in, "Hula" surrounded him, stared at him, and asked nonsense: "What kind of ancient text is this?" ”

"What does that mean?"

"How do you pronounce this word?"

Liu Xiu was startled, frightened like a weak girl surrounded by a group of unscrupulous uncles, and said nervously: "What do you want to do?" ”

"This ...... What exactly are these ancient texts? Cai Yong's eyes were a little crazy: "A few of us studied for a long time, and we only understood less than half of it, but from the writing of these words, we roughly guessed that this was the text of the Zhou Dynasty, and it was ...... And it is a very important event. Tell me, what the hell is this? ”

"Clever." Liu Xiu raised his thumb and admired these uncles, not only could he read half of it at once, but he could also roughly guess the age from this half. "I heard that this is a text of the Zhou Dynasty, which records the hunting of the king of Zhou. There are ten articles in total, and this is the first one. ”

"Where are the other nine?" Cai Yong was in a hurry and was about to beat someone.

"On the wall on the second floor of my Rashiki noodle shop." Liu Xiu smiled: "Tomorrow will only keep one hour, if you don't arrive, I will shovel all those words." After speaking, he arched his hand and walked away with Zhang Feiyang.

Cai Yong and the others looked at each other. Cai Yong was about to chase after him, but he was dragged by Yang Ci, and smiled bitterly: "Uncle, haven't you seen it yet, that vertical is just to force a few of us to cheer him up, and it's useless for you to beg him again." ”

Cai Yong stomped his feet and scolded: "When Lu Zigan comes back, you see how I clean him up." ”

"Stop screaming." Ma Yueyan rubbed his nose: "Lu Zigan went to office by himself, and left his wife and son in Luoyang, if it weren't for him, a disciple, alas, ......"

Cai Yong was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. Lu Zhi and he are old friends, Lu Zhi went to Lujiang to be a guard, his wife and children starved in Luoyang, although he received some help, but he didn't take it too seriously, and finally asked Lu Zhi's disciples to do business and defile themselves, speaking of which, it was his friend who did not fulfill his responsibilities and suffered a moral loss.

He smiled bitterly, turned his head and arched his hand to Tang Yudian and the others: "Everyone, then we ......."

Tang Yudian and the others looked at each other, "Let's go?" "Go ahead."

Cai Yong was overjoyed, looking at the dozen words in his hand, angry and happy, like a crazy demon.

…… Luo Shi noodle restaurant at the entrance of the three floors outside the three floors, the gate is covered with red and green, the lights are colorful, several large bundles of green bamboo are neatly placed at the door, Luo Shi, who has changed his name to Luo Shi, looked at the guests who flocked to the house and smiled, but An Quan, who came to help, was bitter in his heart.

With so many people, how much money do you have to give away for free? Liu Xiu is really eventful, opening a small restaurant selling soup cakes has to come up with so many tricks, just invite guests to come to the party, and even promise to give each person a bowl of topping noodles for free. Originally, An Quan didn't take it seriously, and his heart said that a bowl of noodles was only about ten dollars, and at most one hundred and ten guests, and a thousand dollars would be pulled down. But now there are more than a hundred people standing outside the door, and the people outside are still gathering, and a rough estimate is that there are not five hundred, but three hundred.

Nearly 10,000 dollars are gone.

If it weren't for the fact that most of the students standing outside were knowledgeable students, An Quan was afraid that he would regret it. Now he could only stand by with a stiff face, crying over the money he had lost.

"It's coming, it's coming." The people outside suddenly exclaimed, "Hey, Mr. Bo! ”

"Wow, Lord Tang Yu is here, too!"

"Look at it, isn't that Lord Yang of the Fourth World and the Third Duke?"

The crowd parted like a tide, and Liu Xiu, who was dressed in new clothes, guided him in front, respectfully leading Cai Yong and other university scholars who were doing the Eastern View School Book to walk in, causing a burst of exclamations from the students next to him.

"Who is this, such a big face, there are a lot of adults in Dongguan?"

"How come there are still people in the palace?"

"You know a fart, this is Lord Li of Ruyang, although he is a regular servant, his knowledge is no worse than yours."

"your mother, isn't Lao Tzu's knowledge better than yours?" The scholar who was exposed in public said indignantly: "You are stupid, you don't even know who the owner of this Luoshiki noodle restaurant is, and you are embarrassed to be embarrassed here." ”

"You're stupid, I don't know about him? Lao Tzu took the leaflet from him by hand. ”

Liu Xiu turned a deaf ear to the endless "stupid" in the crowd, invited Cai Yong and others to stand in front, signaled Liu Bei Zhang Fei to light the brazier, untied the bundle of green bamboo, and sent a handful of green bamboo to Cai Yong and others in turn - this is equivalent to scissors for cutting ribbons.

Cai Yong and the others looked at each other, gritted their teeth and nodded, "Deran, if there is anything wrong with that stone drum text, don't blame me for turning my face, when your teacher comes back, I will definitely let him expel you from the teacher." ”

"Don't worry, the second floor is only open to gentlemen." Liu Xiu laughed and bowed his hand again and again.

"That's it, it's reasonable." Cai Yong took a deep breath, squeezed out a smile, turned around and looked up at the words "Luo Shi Noodle Restaurant" on the black wooden plaque, and was so ashamed that he wanted to find a hole to get into. In order to see the full text of the stone drum, he didn't even want his face, not only came to open the noodle restaurant, but also wrote a plaque by hand. Although he wrote a lot of essays for people, it was the first time he wrote the name of a restaurant.

What made him even more depressed was that Liu Xiu didn't even give him a pen. Cai Yong doesn't care about money, but even if you give a little less, it's okay, or I'll give it to you again, and I won't give a single child, it's too much.

Cai Yong indignantly threw the green bamboo into the brazier, and the green bamboo swished and suddenly burst open.

"A blockbuster-" An Quan, who was frightened by many big people, finally remembered his own job and shouted loudly. He is Wu Bo, the guard of honor who opens the way in front of the officials when they go out on patrol, and this voice is absolutely first-class.

The corners of Yang Ci's mouth twitched, and he also threw the green bamboo in his hand into it, and there was an explosion of "burst".

"Yin and Yang in harmony—"

Tang Yudian also threw it in.

"Sanyang Kaitai-"

"Four seasons are safe—"

Waiting for An Quan to say a loud "Open Daji", the door of the noodle restaurant suddenly opened, and more than a dozen bearded girls wearing well-cut green clothes and green pants stood in two rows inside the door, bowing and standing, smiling like flowers, and whispering: "Welcome, welcome, welcome-"

Cai Yong and the others were startled, their faces immediately became ugly, and when they turned around to leave, Liu Xiu hurriedly pulled it, and said with a smile: "There is no upstairs, the upstairs is quiet, please upstairs, adults." ”

"Immoral!" Cai Yong took a sip, looked at the direction of the stairs, and walked up quickly. As soon as he went upstairs, he let out the same exclamation as the thin scholars downstairs: "Wow-"

Facing is a long corridor, divided into ten private rooms, respectively inscribed with ten heavenly stems, the doors of the private rooms are all open, and the wall facing is ten ancient texts. The handwriting is simple and vigorous, and the majestic air is blowing in the face. Cai Yong didn't wait for Liu Xiu to greet him, and immediately pounced, looking at them one after another, fascinated.

Yang Ci and the others were also stunned, and then quickly followed, some figured it out alone, and some got together to discuss, throwing the master Liu Xiu aside, and no one could think of him.

Liu Xiu smiled and waited carefully on the side, these university scholars are estimated to study for a while, the drinks are ready-made, when they are hungry, just notify the kitchen. The following has its own An Quan couple to take care of, Luo has shown extraordinary ability since he gained self-confidence, and the opening of the entire noodle restaurant was basically handled by her, Liu Xiu just put forward some guiding opinions on the decoration, wrote these ten stone drum articles, and the rest is to fool these scholars to cheer.

The downstairs was already full of people, the whole hall was full, but the upstairs was still silent, Cai Yong and all their minds were immersed in these ancient words. Liu Xiu slowly relaxed, for the opening of this noodle restaurant, although he didn't do anything specific, he also had a lot of worries. As the saying goes, it's easy to open a store and it's hard to keep a store, and if you make a splash, the business behind it shouldn't be a problem, but the biggest problem is outside the store. Luoyang is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, there are many dignitaries and nobles like dogs, ruffians and hooligans are walking all over the ground, business is good, trouble comes to the door, he has to plan early and take precautions.

The biggest problem is the problem of the Yuan family, after Yuan Shu was beaten by him, there has been no movement recently, he can't believe that Yuan Shu was subdued by him, and since then he has walked around him, this kind of calm can only be said to be a sign before the storm. If the son of the Yuan family of the fourth and third princes can't even clean up a small Lang official, then what is the name of the fourth and third princes, and what kind of son is Yuan Shu?

"Deran, congratulations, congratulations!" With a burst of footsteps, Cao Ying walked in steadily, glanced at the adults who were concentrating on research, and pouted: "De Ran is really a good method, and he actually invited these gentlemen." ”

Liu Xiu smiled smugly and pulled him aside: "Why are you here?" ”

"What are you talking about?" Cao Ying pretended to be unhappy and lowered his face: "If you open the door to do business, I can't come?" ”

Liu Xiu rolled his eyes, and said in his heart that this sound really harsh, and it feels like I am not opening a noodle restaurant, but some yellow place.

"Okay, that's etiquette." Cao Ying shook his hand and shook his head, and a young man behind him walked over in small steps, offering a package with both hands. Liu Xiu took it and checked it, a brutal thug, at least twenty gold. He frowned: "Brother Meng De, just mean it, it's too much, right?" ”

"Not much." Cao Ying smiled: "Of course, this is not just etiquette, this is my letter of appointment." ”

"Letter of appointment?"

"That...... In that matter, I have to help Deran. Cao Ying approached Liu Xiu and whispered embarrassedly, "I can't handle it." ”
