Chapter Forty-Eight: The Banquet
Jia Jinbao took people out, and Jiang Yao helped He's cooking business. Jiang Yao lives in the mansion, living alone in one room, and his living expenses are almost the same as those of the prince of Jiafu.
Jiang Yao rode to the silk village, he sat on the horse and walked around. The silk village is located in the center of the city, and the streets are full of people.
Jiang Yao didn't care at first, not far behind him, there was the sound of horses' hooves following behind him.
Until he reached the Silk Village, the sound of horses' hooves behind him kept the same speed and distance as him. Maybe it's a coincidence. Jiang Yao said to himself.
Jiang Yao reconciled the accounts in the silk village and was busy for most of the day. He brought the maid over, "Manager Jiang, Madame specially added the food for you." ”
Camel meat stew, cheese tart made from camel milk. Jiang Yao said with a smile: "Madame is a bodhisattva's heart, and even the servant's diet lady personally inquires. ”
Jiang Yao crossed his hand at the maid, and smiled lightly with a pair of soul-stunning eyes. "Sister is hard."
He returned from the silk village, and the sound of horses' hooves behind him flickered far and near. Jiang Yao was sure that this was not an accident, someone deliberately followed him secretly.
The people who followed him were excellent in martial arts and excellent in riding. Jiang Yao pretended to know nothing. His daily whereabouts are the shop and the Jia Mansion.
There are also signs of being turned over in the room. The people who searched his room were very cautious and tried to restore the room to its original state.
As everyone knows, the more deliberate it is, the more self-defeating it will be.
When he came to Jiafu, he was alone, and he erased all the traces of his past life.
Is the person searching the room the same person who followed him, or is it some maid from Jiafu? Jiang Yao didn't know.
Jia Jinbao and Jia Yinbao, two brothers, have been full of evil for many years, but they have been safe and sound. One is that the two brothers are in a good way, and the other is that Jiafu is a monolith. It's hard for outsiders to penetrate.
Jia Jinbao is indeed cunning and cunning, and the slightest flaw will arouse his vigilance.
No wonder he has been in a lot of blood debts over the years, but he has not been brought to justice.
The lone wolf did not go with Jia Jinbao, this time it was the lone wolf and several brothers who stayed at home to guard the nursing home.
There are several side rooms in the front hall and the back house for these people.
Jiang Yao came back from the store and walked around one room after another. These people don't look at Jia Jinbao when he is at home, he occasionally indulges in a handful, gathers people to gamble and drink.
Jia Jinbao was not at home, but instead performed his own duties, and he was a regular caretaker.
Jia Jinbao is generous, lenient and severe, and does not hesitate to reward.
If there are any difficulties in the subordinates, Jia Jinbao will give money and goods, and sometimes visit the door. He's also a character.
There is a restaurant in Xunyang City called Yuyuemen Restaurant. The specialty is the whole fish feast, and the main dish is fish. Jiang Yao set up a banquet in the restaurant and invited Lone Wolf and others.
He booked a private room on the third floor, and the restaurant fee standard was the highest on the third floor. The private room is hung with fish-shaped lanterns, and fish-shaped tableware is placed on the table.
Steamed fish, braised fish, chopped pepper fish head, fish balls... Jiang Yao spared no money for food and picked up the good ones on the table. Two Kabuki were also invited to entertain them.
Jiang Yao is now the role of the big butler, and it stands to reason that Jia Jinbao is Jia Jinbao's right-hand man. At a young age and not long after being here, it was reused.
The lone wolf and the other brethren admired him and saw him rise to the top, but he did not look at people with his nostrils to the sky, and he got along with them as he always did. I admire Jiang Yao's quality even more.
The lone wolf was a little stumbling. Before Jia Jinbao left, he entrusted him with a secret order.
Jiang Yao, as always, had nothing to do with them, and treated each other with sincerity from the bottom of his heart.
The lone wolf blamed himself in his heart, and he didn't look at others drinking or not drinking one cup at a time, and poured wine into his stomach by himself.
Jiang Yao picked up the fish mouth wine jug and didn't pour it into the cup, "Ladies and gentlemen, brothers, Li Zhao is gathering with you today, Li Zhao is all relying on your help and support today, Li Zhao is grateful." ”
After speaking, he drank into the spout.
The lone wolf felt uncomfortable, and when he heard this, he stood up and took the pot to drink.
Everyone else likes to eat meat in large pieces and drink wine in large bowls. didn't wait for the three rounds of drinking, and the room was let go.
Both Kabuki are young women in their twenties, good-looking, eloquent, singing and dancing.
With them, the atmosphere is enhanced, and the banquet is more lively. Their main target is the lone wolf.
The lone wolf is in his thirties, with a wide face, a wide body, and a fist like a fan. Skilled in swordsmanship, outstanding in martial arts, and the first fierce general under Jia Jinbao's account.
The lone wolf has never married a wife and had children, according to his own words, in the days when the knife licks blood, you kill others, and one day others may kill you.
Why bother leaving orphans and widows? If you live for a day, you will do your filial piety for your mother. There is wine in the present dynasty and drunk in the present day, and there is no wine in the Ming Dynasty to redeem it.
"Hero, you drink the wine poured by your sister, why don't you drink the wine of the slave family?" The hero is sad about the beauty pass, and the beauty softly persuades him to drink.
"Drink it all, drink it all," the lone wolf hugged left and right, left and right.
Jiang Yao lay on the table early, listening to everyone in the room shouting five and drinking, punching and drinking. He put all the half-year's pay on the counter.
The street drums in Xunyang City sounded, Jiang Yao finished settling the account, and a group of people came out of the restaurant with their waists and necks crossed. Falling and stubbornly stepped onto the horse.
The lone wolf drank blushing and ripe dates, and did not forget to take care of Jiang Yao. and Jiang Yao walked side by side.
Jiang Yao was lying on the back of the horse, his arms and legs swinging around like noodle soup.
The lone wolf leaned forward and backwards and rode on his horse, and he had to pay attention to Jiang Yao, for fear that he would fall off the horse if he was too drunk. There was no danger all the way back to Jiafu.
The lone wolf didn't go back to his room, he followed Jiang Yao into the house. The maid brought the tea and stepped back.
Jiang Yao leaned back on his back in his chair and slipped straight down. The lone wolf staggered several times and pressed him back into his chair, but he couldn't sit still. The lone wolf let him sit on the ground.
There were two drunkards in the house, and they didn't speak human words. The lone wolf's tongue is bigger than a fist, and he speaks in knots.
"Brother, why are you a scholar here? This is a place of shouting and killing, you are a reader, unlike us. The lone wolf wanted to talk to Jiang Yao.
"Brother Wolf, I want to earn money, and I want to earn a lot of money. Isn't fame and fortune all about money in the end? Money is the most reliable. ”
Jiang Yao waved his hands and hit the table leg. He grabbed the table legs, got up, and sat down in a chair.
"Brother, guess what I used to do?" Jiang Yao looked straight at him with a pair of eyes.
The lone wolf stretched out his hand to block it, "Brother, your eyes can hook the soul." ”
"Brother Wolf used to be a reckless hero? Or, Brother Wolf won't be the barracks commander, right? Jiang Yao said with a sudden realization.
"I'm only half right, I'm from the army, but I'm not a commander, and I have served in the military in Hedong Domain. Later, I got tired of fighting for power and profit among the chiefs, and when the imperial court sent troops to suppress it, I returned to my hometown, and later followed Master Jia. ”
"Actually, it's better to follow Master Jia than to follow the chief. Master Jia cherishes his subordinates, and the chief detains his subordinates. The lone wolf saw that Jiang Yao was sleepy, and got up to leave.
After thinking about it, he turned around again and whispered to Jiang Yao: "Brother, listen to my brother, if you are in it for money, brother, I won't say anything." If you want to settle down, you should choose another place. ”
Jiang Yao didn't expect the lone wolf to say this to him, and he was really moved, "Brother's heartfelt words, junior brother write them down." "The lone wolf went back to rest without mentioning it.
Since then, the person who followed Jiang Yao has never appeared.
