Chapter 189: The Hypocrite (Seeking Acceptance)
Yanchang City is the largest city in Yanzhou, but among the fifty largest cities in the entire Shu Kingdom, it does not have its name.
But if you want to rank the cities in Shu according to their fame, the top three Zhongding Capital, Xizhou City, and Yanchang City are probably also difficult to distinguish!
However, this is all in the past. Today, although the scale of Yanchang City is still the same as before, its reputation is definitely far above the other two cities.
This qiē is thanks to Sichou Zhai, who has been missing in the mountains outside Yanchang City!
How could a sect have such a great ability to make a small city with a small name burst in popularity in such a short period of time? What seems incredible to outsiders is not strange in the eyes of Yanzhou people - the entire Yanzhou has gone through 800 years, and it is the only state in the world that has not changed its name since ancient times.
It is said that there have been two almost name changes in the history of Yanzhou, but once although the DPRK and the central government had approved the approval document, it was blocked back by the head of Sichou Zhai, who was Mr. Chou at the time, with "I am old, I am afraid that I can't remember the name if I change it", and the other time was strongly opposed by the people of the state once it was proposed, and even went to Dingdu City to sue the royal court.
In the two name change incidents, although the official in charge was not punished in the relevant regard, he was also reprimanded by the emperor at the time, either verbally reprimanded or reprimanded. Since then, successive officials in charge of Yanzhou have never mentioned changing the name of the state.
Sichou Zhai still has such ability for a state, not to mention that Yanchang City is still a small city next to Sichou Zhai?
Cyclamen House.
This is the largest restaurant in Yanchang City, and the specific name still needs to be followed by the words "Yanchang City Tianzi Branch". The reason why "Tianzi" is added is because there are three levels of the branch of this restaurant, which are crowned with Tianzi, Dizi, and Renzi.
What are the words heaven, earth and man? The semicolon opened by the capital of a country can be crowned with "Tianzi"; The semicolon opened by the capital of a state can be crowned with the "ground character"; The semicolon in other cities in a state is the "herringbone" semicolon. This set of rules is said to have been set by the proprietor behind the cyclamen himself, and this must be followed wherever a semicolon is opened.
However, isn't Yanchang City just the capital of a state, and according to the rules, it should also be "Cyclamen Building Yanchang City Semicolon", why should it be preceded by "Tianzi"? Could it be that the standard is wrong?
Naturally not! There are only two such exceptions in Shu, one is the current Yanchang City, which is named after the capital of a state with the word "Tianzi" that only the capital of a country can use; The other place is Xizhou, but the cyclamen building there is not called "Cyclamen Building Xizhou City Tianzi Branch", but simply hangs the words "Cyclamen Building".
Why is that? Naturally, it is because the cyclamen tower in Xizhou City is the general number of all the cities in the world!
The owner of the general number is surnamed Liu, whose name is "Yueying", and he just got married at the end of last year.
"Uncle, our place is too small, ...... you look" She Qing looked at the fat man in front of him with an anxious look on his face, and only felt funny in his heart: The shopkeeper here should be surnamed "Zhu", right? It seems that Yueying can still choose a "veritable" person to be the shopkeeper in terms of selecting people!
It's just that this brain, isn't there a bit of a problem......
Seeing the uncle from Xizhou looking at him playfully, Zhu Youcai didn't say a word, knelt on the ground with a "plop", and said with a cry like killing a pig: "Master, please let the little one resign directly!" If it goes on like this, you don't say yes or no, and you really don't have an idea in your little heart! ”
The originally joyful atmosphere was suddenly quieted by his cry.
She Qing heard the silence in his ears, he was stunned for a moment, and only when he came back to his senses did he know what was going on, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and pretend to be serious to help Zhu Youcai, who was crying bitterly, and comforted: "Shopkeeper Zhu, you think too much!" ”
"Uncle, if I say that I am not afraid of your jokes, if I really want to go to the battlefield, I will definitely be the first to be a deserter...... But you're not as good as me in business! Zhu Youguang pointed to the door while crying and said: "Look at the scene outside, the road ten miles long and three zhang wide is already crowded!" How many people do you have to have? According to a table of eight people, how many tables do you have to have? A table of four meat, four vegetarian and eight dishes, heaven and earth Xuanhuang four soup, I don't have enough in this place, not enough home, not enough manpower, not enough ingredients, the so-called Qiao woman is difficult to cook without rice, if you insist on holding that gentleman's banquet here, you are risking the sin of angering that gentleman, my old Zhu also has to be honest: I really can't do it! ”
"Did your ancestor have a storyteller in the shopkeeper Zhu?" She Qing watched Zhu Youcai talk endlessly, and it was easy to listen to him, and immediately asked.
"It is said that my grandfather ...... No, uncle, why are you asking this? Zhu Youcai was halfway through speaking, only to realize that the uncle in front of him seemed to have deviated from the topic.
"Oh, no, no, it's just a matter of remembering to ask." She Qing sighed in his heart: Sure enough, good eloquence also needs to have ancestral background!
"Ouch, don't make fun of me!" Seeing She Qing casually responded, although Zhu Youcai didn't know what the specific thing was, he also shrewdly guessed that it must have something to do with him, thinking of this, he couldn't help but look like he hated iron but not steel, and he was so anxious that he caught the pillar on the side and was about to hit it.
"Alright, alright!" If it is placed in normal times, it may be a little interesting to watch people go crazy and hit the pillar, but first, this Zhu Youcai is indeed a good hand at financial management, if he hits a fool, I'm afraid Yueying will not want to, and secondly, it will be Mr.'s inauguration ceremony immediately, and it is not a good omen if he dies - not to mention, I heard that now Xizhou, Weizhou, Zhenzhou, Junzhou, and Queensland have reached a unified consensus: the new head of Sichou Zhai is a major event celebrated by the whole world, and all parties unanimously agreed to a truce for three days, and those who have fought will be suspended first, Set a date and postpone the battle in order to ensure that there will be no bloodshed and no military disasters in the few days when they take office.
From this point of view, I am also a person from Xizhou, so I should implement it anyway.
"I told you a long time ago, you don't need to prepare anything, you just lend me the yard to use." She Qing was worried that the shopkeeper still didn't understand the meaning of his words, and pointed to the surroundings and said: "Not only can you not prepare any eight dishes and four soups, but you also have to take out people to help me register and carry things......
"That'...... And then what? Zhu Youcai asked puzzledly, but if you don't sit down to drink tea and eat, how can it be called a "seat"?
"No more! The things are delivered, so that they can go back when they deserve to go back! She Qing's face turned red, but he still forced his composure to say a word of what Mr. Big said to him without changing a word.
"Go back?" Zhu Youcai thought that he had misheard, and was about to remind him again if he had forgotten something, but when he looked up, he saw his aunt staring at him with wide eyes, as if he was about to start killing people if he said one more word.
For this new aunt, Zhu Youcai still worked hard to study: he has known Miss Dongjia since childhood, and he can be described as a childhood sweetheart, and the marriage between the two was personally ordered by Mr. Chou, the head of Sichou Zhai, and this uncle is said to have saved Mr. Chou's life, and he is the chief student of this gentleman who is about to take over the position of the head...... The most important thing is that he has served in the Xizhou City Chongsha Army for many years, and it is common to kill people......
Thinking of this, Zhu Youcai only felt that his chest was as heavy as pressing against a boulder, and even his breathing became short.
"How's that grown?" Seeing Zhu Youcai's pale face, She Qing realized that he had put too much pressure on him, took a deep breath, put his tone as calm as possible, and asked slowly.
"In ...... Upstairs, I'm already able to eat by myself......" Zhu Youcai pointed upstairs while wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
The floor setting here is the same as that in Xizhou City, all of which are four-story structures, with a guest room on the first floor, a single room on the second floor, a private room on the third floor, and a smooth meeting and entertainment on the fourth floor. And the "upstairs" mentioned by Zhu Youcai refers to the private room on the third floor that is of appropriate size, clean and comfortable!
She Qing didn't say a word when he heard this, he turned around and took a few steps upstairs, stopping in front of the door of the innermost room.
"She's the shopkeeper, right? Come in. He was about to knock on the door, but when he heard that the person inside had already passed the word through the microphone next to the door, She Qing was secretly shocked in his heart: he is worthy of being a person who is good at using arrows, and the ability to listen to the voice and defend the position is indeed difficult for ordinary people!
"General Yan is well?" As soon as he entered the door, the smell of wine greeted him, She Qing wrinkled his nose and looked towards the house, only to see a person wearing only a thin plain shirt sitting at the table with his back to drink.
"General Yan is so interested!" While walking forward, She Qing carefully looked inside the house, but stopped halfway through and turned around to leave.
"Wait!" Seeing that She Qing was only halfway to turn around and wanted to go back, the man who was sitting and drinking got up and turned around, and said coldly: "What does this mean?" ”
"It's not interesting, I just don't want to see hypocrites, so I just want to leave as soon as possible." She Qing smiled, and after speaking, he raised his feet and wanted to leave.
"Stop!" Hearing the other party's meaning, the man snorted angrily: "When you say hypocrite, do you mean me?" ”
"Naturally not!" She Qing smiled and answered loudly.
"Oh?" Hearing this answer, the man's face couldn't help but be stunned, as if he didn't expect the other party to answer like this, and asked curiously: "Then who do you mean?" ”
"When I say hypocrite, I mean Yan Wufang, one of the eight captains of Dashu!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the wine jug in the man's hand shattered.
"You're looking for death!" As he spoke, with a flick of his fingers, the fragments of the wine jug struck She Qing like a sky.
