Chapter 10: The Feast of the Hung Gate
"Brother Donghuang! Brother Donghuang!"
Not long after Lin Lan left, it was close to noon, and Zhou Donghuang, who had just calmed down to cultivate, was awakened by a voice from outside.
The voice is immature, melodious, and it is a girl's voice.
"This voice ......"
Zhou Donghuang opened his eyes, and a memory from a thousand years ago came to his mind, making the corners of his mouth involuntarily smile.
That year, he was ten years old.
On the street, he saw a little girl of five or six years old being bullied by several little boys about his age, he stood up, grabbed a little boy and beat him, scaring away the other little boys.
After that, the little girl often came to the Yulan Chamber of Commerce to play with him, following behind him and Chen Dandan, shouting 'Brother Donghuang' on the left and 'Sister Dandan' on the right.
"By the way, today is December 19, 1997 in the Ziyun calendar. ”
"On the day of my previous life, Xiaoyu came to me to go out for dinner...... However, at that time, I was in a bad mood because of Chen Dandan's betrayal and the Yulan Chamber of Commerce was in danger, so I rejected her. ”
Opening the door, Zhou Donghuang remembered this incident in time.
Outside the door, there stood a girl who looked to be about eleven or twelve years old, with pink carvings and very delicate facial features, and it was not difficult to see that this was a beautiful embryo.
Qin Xiaoyu is a side descendant of the Qin family in Qingshan Town, and her status in the Qin family was average in the past, but since her father broke through to become a martial arts monk who gathered qi five years ago and became the elder of the Qin family, she has also become the little princess of the Qin family.
"Brother Donghuang, someone is invited to dinner, in the box of Yunxuan Restaurant...... Come with us. ”
This scene is no different from the previous life.
Originally, Zhou Donghuang wanted to refuse like in his previous life, but seeing Qin Xiaoyu looking at him expectantly, he finally relented and agreed.
"Brother Donghuang, I used to go to Yunxuan Restaurant with my father for dinner, and I have only been to the font box, never to the font box...... I heard that the local box is very luxurious, and there are more dishes, and the minimum consumption is three hundred taels of silver. ”
Leaving the Magnolia Chamber of Commerce and on the way to Yunxuan Restaurant, Qin Xiaoyu looked very excited.
"Xiaoyu, who is in for a treat?"
Zhou Donghuang asked curiously.
The box of Yunxuan Restaurant is a private room, and ordinary people are reluctant to invite guests to dinner there.
The consumption of Yunxuan Restaurant, as the son of the president of the Yulan Chamber of Commerce, naturally knows something.
Lobby, no minimum charge.
But the box has a minimum consumption.
The worst font box has a minimum consumption of 100 taels of silver, and the upper font box has a minimum consumption of 300 taels of silver.
On the top of the ground box, there is also the best sky box, and the minimum consumption is 1,000 taels of silver.
Even if the heads of those poor families in Qingshan Town usually go to Yunxuan Restaurant to eat, they go to the local box at most.
Only when there are important guests visiting, they will be willing to book a Tianzi box in Yunxuan Restaurant.
In Qingshan Town, the average family of three spends a maximum of 180 taels of silver a year.
"It's Zhong Gang of the Zhong family. He made a bet with Brother Qin Fei and lost, so he wanted to invite Brother Qin Fei to the box of Yunxuan Restaurant for a meal. ”
Qin Xiaoyu grinned and said, "Brother Qin Fei took me with him, and told me that I could bring one more person and let me find someone at will...... I immediately thought of you, Brother Donghuang. ”
The eldest brother of Qin Fei in Qin Xiaoyu's mouth is the eldest young master of the Qin family, 'Qin Fei', who is one year older than Zhou Donghuang.
Whether it is the Zhong family or the Qin family, in Qingshan Town, they are all poor families with the same name as the Wang family, and each family has a martial arts monk who gathers two qi and is prominent.
Hearing Qin Xiaoyu's words, Zhou Donghuang's heart rose with a burst of warmth.
This girl, don't forget to bring him with you this kind of opportunity.
At this moment, Zhou Donghuang even thought that he would definitely take Qin Xiaoyu to the Tianzi box of Yunxuan Restaurant another day to have a good meal, so that she could have a good time.
He is now the owner of Yunxuan Restaurant, and the entire Yunxuan Restaurant is his property, and he doesn't need to spend money to eat at Yunxuan Restaurant.
Soon, Zhou Donghuang and Qin Xiaoyu came to the vicinity of Yunxuan Restaurant.
Yunxuan Restaurant, as the best restaurant in Qingshan Town, is located in the central and prosperous area of Qingshan Town, covering a vast area, no less than the family mansion of any family in Qingshan Town.
Under the leadership of Qin Xiaoyu, Zhou Donghuang walked into a box on the second floor with her.
When he first entered the gate of Yunxuan Restaurant, Zhou Donghuang saw Li Xian, the shopkeeper of Yunxuan Restaurant, who he had seen two days ago, Li Xian was settling accounts with his head down at the front desk, but he didn't see him.
"I have long guessed that if I let Xiaoyu bring someone over, she will definitely go to the Yulan Chamber of Commerce to find you Zhou Donghuang. ”
As soon as Qin Xiaoyu entered the box, Zhou Donghuang heard a familiar and distant voice in his memory, it was the eldest young master of the Qin family, Qin Fei.
Now, in the box, in addition to Qin Feiyang, there are three other people, all of whom can be named in Zhou Donghuang's memory.
The eldest young master of the Zhong family 'Zhong Gang', the second young master 'Zhong Yi', and the third young lady 'Zhong Xiu'.
Of course, in addition to the six of them, there were two maids standing on the side, serving them tea and water at any time.
This is also the standard configuration of the box of Yunxuan Restaurant.
"Sister Xiaoyu, why did you bring him here? In two days, he will not be from the same world as us. ”
When Zhong Xiu saw Zhou Donghuang, a touch of disdain and disgust flashed in his eyes.
Chen Dandan's betrayal, the crisis faced by the Magnolia Chamber of Commerce, Zhong Xiu, as the third lady of the Zhong family, has also heard about it in the past few days.
"What do you mean by not being a person of the world? No matter what happens, Brother Donghuang will always be my brother Qin Xiaoyu!"
Qin Xiaoyu glared at Zhong Xiu angrily, and said a little unhappily.
"Everyone who comes is a guest...... Let's take a seat first, it's almost time for them to be served. ”
Just when the atmosphere in the box became a little awkward, Qin Fei spoke at the right time.
Zhou Donghuang was led by Qin Xiaoyu to the table and sat beside her.
And in this process, Zhou Donghuang obviously saw that Qin Fei's gaze that inadvertently swept over him, flashed an imperceptible cold light, and there was a bit of vinegar in the cold light.
"This Qin Fei is interesting to Xiaoyu?"
As a man, Zhou Donghuang naturally saw through Qin Fei's thoughts, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
If he's not mistaken, Xiaoyu seems to be only eleven years old this year, right?
This Qin Fei is simply a beast!
"Zhou Donghuang, I heard that you abolished Wang Feng on the street a few days ago?"
As soon as Zhou Donghuang sat down, Zhong Yi, who was sitting next to Zhong Xiu, squinted his eyes and asked.
"Hmm. ”
Zhou Donghuang nodded, "He got in my way, I asked him to take his hand back, he didn't listen to persuasion, and I could only help him." ”
Zhou Donghuang's sentence was an understatement, as if he had abolished Wang Feng's arm, which was just a trivial matter that could not be smaller.
In fact, in his eyes, it was really just a small thing.
Zhong Yi didn't expect Zhou Donghuang to answer him like this, his pupils subconsciously shrank, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching fiercely.
"Zhou Donghuang, do you know...... Wang Danhe, the head of the Wang family, has already released his words, he wants to use your life to pay you for abolishing his son's arm!"
Zhong Gang glanced at Zhou Donghuang deeply and reminded.
"Really?"
Zhou Donghuang was a little surprised, "I haven't heard of this...... However, in the past few days, I haven't gone out at the Yulan Chamber of Commerce, and I haven't seen him come to me. ”
"He's probably just joking. ”
Zhou Donghuang said as he picked up the cup of tea that the maid had just poured on the table, took a sip lightly, and his face was as calm as ever.
"Zhou Donghuang, are you really stupid or fake stupid?"
Zhong Xiu sneered, "Now, with the Yulan Chamber of Commerce behind you as a backer, the Wang family doesn't dare to touch you easily...... Do you think that if the prescription is leaked, the Lin family in the county town will let you go of the Yulan Chamber of Commerce? In two days, the Lin family will definitely send someone to expel your mother Lin Lan from the Lin family, and at the same time recall the Qi-gathering dual martial arts monk from the Yulan Chamber of Commerce. ”
"At that time, the Magnolia Chamber of Commerce existed in name only...... Do you think the Wang family will let you go?"
"Your mother, Lin Lan, a mere Qi Gathering One Heavy Martial Arts Monk, can protect you?"
Speaking of which, Zhong Xiu's face sneered even more.
"Brother Donghuang!"
Qin Xiaoyu, who was sitting next to Zhou Donghuang, changed her face, although she had also heard some rumors, but she was still young, but she didn't know that Zhou Donghuang was facing such a difficult situation now.
"Emperor Zhou Donghuang, although your mother Lin Lan is a Gathering Qi One Martial Dao Monk, but the Wang family has no less than five Qi Gathering One Martial Dao Monks, and even one Qi Gathering Double Martial Dao Monk. ”
Zhong Yi looked at Zhou Donghuang and grinned: "The Magnolia Chamber of Commerce will cease to exist without the support of the Lin family in the county capital...... At that time, what will you do to fight with the Wang family?"
"This is my business, so I won't worry about you. ”
Duan Donghuang said lightly, from beginning to end, his calm face did not rise even a trace of ripples.
Seeing this, whether it is Zhong Xiu or Zhong Yi, there is a feeling of power and nowhere to go.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
But it was the chef of Yunxuan Restaurant who came to serve the dishes in person, and every time he served a dish, he could tell an allusion.
However, he was just about to say the allusion to the second course, but he was dismissed by Zhong Gang, "We are here to eat, not to listen to your nonsense...... Step aside. ”
The chef stepped back in response, and after the dish was served, Qin Fei beckoned everyone to eat, just like a host.
"I can't come to this box twice a year...... Qin Fei, thanks to your hospitality this time, I can taste the deliciousness of this local box again. ”
Zhong Yi said inarticulate while burying his head in a big gulp of dishes.
And as soon as he said this, Qin Fei's face suddenly changed.
Zhong Xiu and Zhong Gang, who were sitting next to Zhong Yi, also frowned slightly, and Zhong Xiu even stretched out his foot and kicked Zhong Yi, causing Zhong Yi to wake up like a dream.
At this time, Zhong Yi also knew that he had said the wrong thing, and he looked embarrassed.
"Brother Qin Fei, isn't this time Zhong Gang having a treat? Didn't you tell me that he lost a bet with you, so he had a treat?"
Qin Xiaoyu looked at Qin Fei with a puzzled face, but Qin Fei smiled awkwardly, "Xiaoyu, I have been friends with Zhong Gang for many years, and the bet is just joking...... I'm the same as him, whoever treats him. ”
Zhou Donghuang raised his eyebrows.
At this time, if he still can't see that this is a 'Hongmen banquet' against him, then he has really lived for thousands of years in vain.
