Chapter 225: A Chance Encounter
After the offensive and defensive battles in Anqing Province, both sides needed time to repair the wounds caused by the war, so for a while, the tense atmosphere disappeared, and the battlefield that was filled with gunsmoke not long ago suddenly calmed down.
In Anqing Prefecture, which was under the jurisdiction of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the post-war reconstruction work was being carried out intensively and orderly. After arranging everything properly, the winged king Shi Dakai led the guards to leave, and Huang Xu was left behind, he needed to further assist Yuwen Boge in the post-war reconstruction, but he was nominally assisting, but in fact there was nothing to do, because, whether it was a big or small thing, it was basically done by Yuwen Boge, Huang Xu can only be idle, of course, being idle also has the advantage of being idle, he can walk around, soothe and soothe the nerves, appreciate the surrounding scenery, and can have such leisure, Such a comfortable day is indeed very rare on the front line with frequent wars.
Suddenly, one day near noon, Huang Xu took Tian Xiaoer and Dongfang Bufu to the most famous restaurant in Anqing City-Mingdong Jiangnan for dinner.
Speaking of the famous Jiangnan, the people in this Anqing Mansion are all known, no one knows, it is the No. 1 restaurant in Anqing Mansion, and it is also famous in the entire kingdom of heaven.
Huang Xu ordered the Manchu and Han banquets today.
When Huang Xu and his entourage arrived at Mingdong Jiangnan, the restaurant was already full of friends, and it was already dinner market time.
Huang Xu and others came to the familiar private room with ease, and then, a piece of exquisite food was sent up, a few people didn't say a word, picked up the chopsticks and began to eat in large pieces, soon, a table full of Han people, dozens of dishes were eaten by a few people, Huang Xu wiped his mouth, burped, and then. Let people soak a pot on the haode dragon well, began to taste slowly, a few people took advantage of the tea interval, said some painless gossip, several people are enjoying this rare peaceful life.
After a while, when the tea was full, Huang Xu called Xiao Er to settle the bill, and after the checkout, he was about to get up and leave, when he heard someone in the next room shouting: "What, no money, no money to go to any restaurant, don't you want to eat for nothing, haven't you heard of the rules of our name Jiangnan?" I see that you don't know the height of the sky, tell me, what should I do?"
Listen to the tone, the person who speaks should be a person who moves Jiangnan.
"Little second brother, our wallets were indeed stolen by thieves, see if you can do this, you go and let your boss come, I will negotiate with your boss, rest assured, as long as the grace period is a few days, I will definitely give the money owed." Listen only to the person who is being reprimanded in a consultative tone.
The person who spoke was not very old, and listening to his tone, he was not impatient or impatient, and he seemed to be a very well-cultivated person.
"Hey, after eating, I don't give money, and I want to see our boss and tell you, no way, don't say more, give money." Xiao Er said in a mocking tone.
"Don't deceive people too much, if the money bag wasn't stolen, how could our young master owe you this money, I think you are a dog who looks down on people." Another man spoke in a rough voice, and when he heard what he said, he seemed to be a follower of the one who had spoken before.
"Little Si, don't talk nonsense, this little second brother is indeed reasonable, and we do owe him money, it doesn't matter, I think, since Jiangnan can be famous, it must be a place where it can be reasonable, let's talk to the little second brother again." Listen to the humanity of the young master.
"Young master, look at it, can you make sense with this kind of person?" Little Four Ways.
"Who can't make sense, who you say can't make sense, you can't make sense, you don't give money for dinner, and if you don't make sense, you just say, do you want to repay the debt?" When the second brother heard the words of the little four, he was anxious.
"Whoever you say wants to settle the bill, you'd better clean your mouth for me." The little four said angrily.
"That's you, so what." The little second brother is not a fuel-efficient lamp either.
"I think you owe a beating, if you don't teach you a lesson today, Lao Tzu won't be called Hu Si'er." It turns out that this guy's name is Hu Si'er.
"Little four, presumptuous." Just when Hu Si'er was thundering, a loud shout suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Yes, young master, the little one is wrong." Hearing that voice, Hu Si'er, who was in a fit of rage, suddenly quieted down, gentle as a cat, obviously the young master spoke.
"Little second brother, you see, we do have some difficulties, look, can you be accommodating, you just need to report the matter here to your boss, I dare to guarantee that your boss will not blame you." The young master still explained softly.
"Hmph, look at the young master of your family, he can talk a lot, like you, I owe money and still want to be rude, what quality, I don't bother to meet you in general, okay, okay, for the sake of this young master, I have a lot of adults, so I won't worry about you, so I'll inform you, you wait here, don't run around." The little two snorted.
"Yes, yes, yes, little second brother Xiexie." The young master said humbly.
"Wait, how much they owe, I'll pay for them." I don't know when, Huang Xu and the others were already standing at the door, only listening to him to Xiao Er.
"Yo, it's Huang Ye, you've finished your meal, you see, no, this group of people wants to eat white food, and I'm about to go to our shopkeeper." Because Huang Xu often comes here to eat, he is also an old acquaintance with this little er, and Huang Xu usually makes a lot of generous moves, and this little second also gets a lot of benefits from Huang Xu's hands, so he is respectful to Huang Xu.
"Little second brother, how much do they owe you to the restaurant?" HUANG Xudao.
"Huang Ye, look at you, how can I ask you to pay the bill on your behalf?" The little second heard Huang Xu say that he had to pay the bill, and he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, this account has finally been settled, and he can be regarded as having an explanation. But on the surface, he still has to say something polite.
"How much?" Huang Xu was too lazy to talk to him.
"Hehe, Huang Ye, a total of twenty-five taels of silver." Xiao Er said with a smile.
"This is fifty taels of silver tickets, don't look for it." Huang Xu took out a silver ticket of fifty taels from his body and prepared to hand it to Xiao Er.
The little two was about to stretch out his hand to take the silver ticket, but he was preempted by the other hand, only to see that hand grabbed Huang Xu's forearm first, Huang Xu raised his head suspiciously, only to see a person looking at him with a smile on his face, only to hear him say: "Brother Tai, I am very presumptuous, but how can I be embarrassed to let Brother Tai pay the bill on my behalf?"
Huang Xu looked at the person who came, listened to him, and knew that he was the so-called young master.
"When you go out, how can you not have a difficulty, it is not in the way, seeing each other is fate, this meal, count me as inviting you." Huang Xu smiled and said generously.
"That's embarrassing." The young master said with a smile, but he didn't mean to let go.
Huang Xu was grabbed by his hand, and he could obviously feel that the force in his hand was very soft, Huang Xu deliberately made a move, but found that the other party was unmoved, and still smiled indifferently, Huang Xu knew in his heart that this person should not be simple.
"Treat it as if you owe me, okay?" HUANG Xudao.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll pay my bills?" The man was still smiling.
"I'm afraid, how can I not be afraid, but I believe that Brother Tai should not be the kind of person who pays his debts." Huang Xu's words made the little second brother very embarrassed, and the little second brother was still saying that others were defaulting on their debts just now.
"Okay, I have written down your feelings, and I will definitely pay you back in the future." Only then did the young master let go of his hand and hugged Huang Xu's fist.
It was only at this time that the silver ticket was handed over to Xiao Er, and after the little second brother took the silver ticket, he was relieved and vigorously shook Huang Xu, for fear that he would accidentally offend this God of Wealth.
Huang Xu waved his hand, and Xiao Er retreated knowingly.
After some tossing, the private room returned to calm, and the young master hugged his fist at Huang Xu and said, "On the third from the left below, may I ask my brother Taigao's surname, can you sit down."
"Under Huang Si, of course, of course." Huang Xu didn't postpone it, and made up a name for himself.
"Ha, ha....in the next name is the third from the left, the brother is the fourth from the left, the fourth from the left, it seems that we are really destined." After the young master heard Huang Xu introduce himself, he hahadaxiao said.
"That's right, that's right, there's fate, there's fate." Huang Xu also smiled.
"Brother Huang, please be seated." The young master let Huang Xu sit up.
Huang Xu was also not polite, and sat down.
"These two entourages of Brother Zuo also look quite extraordinary, can you introduce them." There are two people with this young master, except for the strong man Hu Si'er just now, the other person is dressed as a scholar, but he feels that Huang Xu is a fairy wind bone, and he should not be an ordinary person, so he deliberately said.
"Brother Huang smiled, the two of them are ordinary people in the brother's house, and they are ordered by their father to serve their brother's daily life, how can they enter the eyes of their brother, don't say it." The young master's words are airtight.
"Brother Zuo is modest, humble." Huang Xu is meaningful.
"Ha, ha..."The third from the left is another pass daxiao.
"Ha, ha..."Huang Xu also followed with a daxiao.
The laughter of the two made several people around them inexplicable.
"Brother Huang, the person who looks at you is really extraordinary, my brother must be a well-known figure in the world, look at the two brothers standing behind my brother, they must not be ordinary people, can my brother relieve my brother's doubts." The master's words are obviously half compliments and half temptations.
"What a coincidence, as my brother said, they are also in the lower mansion, and they are just waiting in the lower house, ordinary people, ordinary people." Huang Xu is not the way of the other, and he has lost his body.
"Wonderful, wonderful, Brother Huang's words are really wonderful, and Huang Xu's people are really honest gentlemen." The young master stroked his palms and praised.
"Each other, each other." HUANG Xudao.
The two glanced at each other, and it was hahadaxiao again. (To be continued......)
