Chapter 119: Love and Hate

Speaking of the most famous restaurants in the entire Qingshan County, if you ask a random person in the city, it is not surprising that they will say that it is Lingyun Tower, Liuyunxuan and Feihe Tower.

Needless to say, Lingyun Building is the leading restaurant among the three major restaurants, and the first choice for nearby scholars to eat. The environment here is quiet, the decoration is elegant, and the boss behind the scenes is an official in the court, so Lingyun Tower is generally the first choice for the banquet guests of the previous magistrates, not to mention its scenery.

Speaking of which, the first pot of flowers that Ye Feng and Chen Jixing sold last time had a bright future, and it was sold nearby.

The second is the Flying Crane Tower.

This restaurant is called the Flying Crane Tower because of its classical architectural style, among which there are many pavilions and pavilions, and most of them are decorated with crane patterns. In fact, this building was originally called Babao Building, and later its boss saw that the guests preferred to be commensurate with the flying crane, so he was as good as the flow, and officially changed it to the Flying Crane Tower.

Eating here is not as expensive as Lingyun Tower, but it also does not accept ordinary people, so the famous people and the rich people in the city love to dine here. After years of operation, there is now a vague trend of competing with Lingyun Tower.

If you want to talk about rankings, it is the turn of the upper class Yunxuan in the end.

Unlike the previous two, Liuyunxuan accepts people from all walks of life to come and dine. That is, as long as you have money.

Of course, Boss Wang of Liuyunxuan is also well versed in the principle of "things gather by like, and people are divided by groups". Therefore, now almost everyone knows that anyone can enter the first and second floors of Liuyunxuan, but it is not possible to enter above the second floor, not only can you enter with money, but also must have a certain identity.

But it doesn't matter, the decoration style of Liuyunxuan is based on magnificence. Even if you eat on the first and second floors, you can enjoy a unique scenery.

However, the most talked-about thing about Liuyunxuan is the legendary four extravagant private rooms.

On the whole, Liuyunxuan is an eight-sided pagoda-like building, so three of the four most luxurious private rooms are all distributed on the eighth floor, and the largest and most luxurious one is on the top floor, the ninth floor.

Sitting in this most luxurious private room, you can look out over the whole of Qingshan County. Moreover, because the floor is higher, when you are lucky, you can also see the clouds floating around in the distance, as if you are in a fog, needless to say.

Therefore, eating in this private room is not so much about eating delicacies from the mountains and seas as it is about eating "scenery".

And Liuyunxuan is also named after this.

To eat in these four private rooms, you must make a reservation in advance. In many cases, it may not be possible to book a month in advance, because there are too many local tyrants who want to come and feel it.

As for the private room on the top floor, ordinary people don't need to think about it at all, this private room is basically not booked to the public, and Boss Wang personally grasps its movements and is ready to receive big people at any time.

And at this moment, in this most luxurious private room of Liuyun Xuan, there are four people sitting, and the four Ye shopkeepers want to find and negotiate the most.

Shopkeeper Ye and Gu Bo guessed well, or the analysis was very good. In the conversation just now, several people who were named by them were involved in this calculation of the treasure house.

Just as Shopkeeper Ye and Guide Ke were running towards home after eating, Shopkeeper Tang immediately got into the carriage and rushed back to the city, and together with a few people, he broke away from Uncle Gu and dug a big pit for Yao Wushuang.

And Yao Wushuang really didn't disappoint them, and couldn't wait to jump in, the process was far simpler than they imagined, and it could even be said that it succeeded without much effort.

These four people are in the first secret meeting after the alliance.

Among these four people, if you look closely, you will find that the person with a pig's waist face that Yao Wushuang said is impressive. But at this moment, his face was no longer the gloomy color that had not changed for ten thousand years, but was full of smiles.

It's just that this smile, against this face, is unspeakably ugly, so it's better not to laugh.

As for the other three people, in addition to Tang Chongde and Qi Yuan, who Shopkeeper Ye and Uncle Gu were very sure of, there was also Fu Wuniang, the owner of Youmeizhai, who Shopkeeper Ye specially prayed not to get involved.

Obviously, this time the Bodhisattva did not hear his prayers.

Also, a few days ago, he just went to the Big Buddha Temple to ask for a sign, so he can't be too greedy.

Originally, it was very difficult to enter this private room with the strength of Tang Xiangyou, Tang Chongde and Qi Yuanwai. Before, the three of them didn't want to come, but they had already told Boss Wang many times.

But this old fox always said that he had not been idle lately and needed to wait in line. But in fact, several people know that this is just Boss Wang's excuse, obviously because they don't have enough coffee seats.

But this time, as soon as a few people explained their intentions, Boss Wang took the key and opened the door of the private room himself, and was still waiting at the door.

Without him, just because Fu Wuniang is coming.

Readers all over the country know that Fu Wuniang is notoriously indifferent, self-proclaimed, and has no dust, and ordinary people can't get into her eyes at all, and it is difficult to make friends with her.

Now, she is actually coming to her restaurant for dinner, which is really a happy event.

Because he knew that from now on, the reputation of this private room would be even better. Thinking about those scholars who always go to Lingyun Tower to party, if they know that Fu Wuniang has come to this private room, they will be eager to keep it.

Who doesn't want to sit in the place where the talented woman has sat and feel the fragrance she left behind? If you can't see me, you can only get close to your goddess in this way.

After waiting for a while, I thought that a few people were just lying to themselves to open the door, and they were about to get angry, but they saw that the dazzlingly beautiful Fu Wuniang really came. welcomed Fu Wuniang into the private room, and Boss Wang left in a hurry.

After thinking about it, he said to the most powerful guy around him: "You keep an eye on the private room and don't leave for a moment." As soon as they leave, you go outside and spread the word. I only said that Fu Wuniang is here, our Lingyun Building. By the way, she said that she ordered a pot of our town store's Baoyu Lou Chun. Also, when passing through the first floor, remember to tell the shopkeeper to prepare more jade house spring. ”

After speaking, he laughed first, but he was afraid that the Yulouchun in the restaurant tomorrow would not be enough to sell. This jade building spring is the treasure of Liuyunxuan's town store, and a pot is worth ten taels of silver.

Of course, this is the external price, but in fact, the cost is only two taels.

And after tomorrow, he will sell it for fifteen taels and one pot.

Because it was in a private room, and it was not the first time I had seen her, Fu Wuniang took off her veil and revealed a delicate and gorgeous face. Unknowingly, as soon as the veil was removed, several people present looked like souls and lust.

Although Fu Wuniang's reputation is indifferent, she is very beautiful, especially a pair of eyes that are particularly beautiful, worthy of the words "bright eyes and good eyes".

The pig's waist face Tang thought it was okay, but after a few more glances, he re-played his indifferent image. And Tang Chongde and Qi Yuanwai were already looking like hungry ghosts, and they couldn't wait to swallow one bite into their stomachs.

Facing these two naked eyes stuck to herself, Fu Wuniang forcibly endured the disgust in her heart, and just covered her face with her sleeves and tasted tea carefully.

Who knows, the way she rolled up her sleeves to cover half of her face was even more amazing in the eyes of Qi Yuanwai and Tang Chongde, and she couldn't hold the two of them a little, and Qi Qi was stunned.

Tang Xiang, who was sitting on the sidelines and watching coldly, accurately grasped the disgust that flashed in Fu Wuniang's eyes, and laughed secretly in his heart, Tang Chongde and Qi Yuanwai, the two idiots, obviously forgot the purpose of their coming here today.

The woman in front of her does have a beautiful face and a gentle expression, but her heart is far from the same. If these two pigs are like this again, when they die in her hands, they will know how powerful she is.

He knew very well in his heart that what Fu Wuniang was best at was to use this suitor to defeat or even cripple another suitor. Because in the eyes of these people, they are rivals in love with each other.

Thinking of this, Tang Xiang had the intention to use this situation to deepen the hatred between the three of them, so that he could profit from it.

But on second thought, it certainly won't work.

If this woman suddenly regrets quitting, it is really a missed opportunity. To say that this opportunity is really rare, it can be called a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the strategy is extremely perfect, and it is difficult to break through.

He really wanted to take advantage of this great opportunity to defeat Jumbo Zhai.

After thinking about it, he took the initiative to break the deadlock.

I heard Tang Xiang say again: "Then, let's see, this is the order of that day, and the expenses required." Now that we're all on our own, we have to work together to get this done. ”

One sentence successfully pulled Tang Chongde and Qi Yuanwai out of the fantasy world, and reminded them of the purpose of coming today, something important.

In order to cover up his gaffe and embarrassment, Qi Yuanwai hurriedly reached out and took the two lists on the table and pretended to look at them carefully. Actually, you don't need to look at it to know what's going on, after all, it's been discussed in advance.

One is an order, covered with the ink of Zhenbao Zhai, signed with Yao Wushuang's name. Looking at the small and almost invisible words in the lower right corner, Qi Yuanwai grinned gloomily: "Shopkeeper Tang, your move is high, it's really high!" It's easy to sign, but how can she be willing to sign this seal? ”

The rules of doing business in Qingshan County Jewelry Store are generally signatures, because strictly speaking, it is difficult for a person to imitate other people's handwriting. Therefore, the general business does not need to stamp the mud at all.

However, for a big business like this one, for the sake of insurance, it is still necessary to cover the ink of the shop. In this way, it is equivalent to double insurance. If there is any dispute, it will be difficult to play tricks.

"Hey, someone went to Jumbo Zhai to make trouble that day, don't you know about it? Afterwards, I figured it out, and I also understood that the woman didn't deal with Ye Yuntian at a glance. Therefore, I only picked up good words, and praised her for being more capable than Ye and good at seizing opportunities. She believed it, and obediently covered it with ink. ”

When everyone didn't notice, when they heard the words "Ye Yuntian", Fu Wuniang's hand shook obviously.

In order to cover up her gaffe, Fu Wuniang took the initiative to continue: "Shopkeeper Tang, didn't you say that there are two lists, what is the other list?" ”

No matter what purpose she agreed to this alliance in the first place, and no matter how unwilling she is to see these people now, since she is here this time, she still has to make a statement.

Seeing that Fu Wuniang took the initiative to talk to him, the shopkeeper Tang was a little flattered, completely forgetting how he despised the other two people just now, and stammered: "Then, this is the deposit paid for deceiving that fool to place the order this time, as well as all the expenses before and after, a total of 10,000 taels of silver." ”

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Tang Xiang continued: "Actually, the silver is just a trivial matter, and when it is evenly distributed, it is only two thousand five hundred taels per person, and they are all taken out. It's just that I want to see everyone's determination through this silver. ”

Seeing that someone was pretending to be confused, Tang Xiang said directly: "You don't have to think about it, you know, in the next step, Ye Yuntian will naturally come to the door to discuss this matter with you." I just hope that you can hold on and don't betray everyone. I, Tang, am the first to swear here, if I betray everyone, I will not die a good death. ”

He didn't dare to swear by the shop outside the staff, so naturally he could only gamble with himself.

As he spoke, he took out two thousand five hundred taels of silver and pressed it on the list.

Tang Xiangyou's attitude naturally represents the attitude of Qi Yuanwai, even if Qi Yuanwai is unwilling, it is difficult to ride a tiger at this moment. And if he defeats Zhenbao Zhai, his Jubao Zhai may be the leader of the jewelry industry in the city.

Anyway, the heavier Tang Xiangyou's resentment, the less he will easily spare Zhenbao Zhai.

Thinking of this, Qi Yuanwai said with a cool express: "Shopkeeper Tang, you should take back this silver, if you want to say that the three of us are the bosses, how can you break the bank." If you hadn't come up with such a good idea, we wouldn't have had a chance to bring down Jumbo Zhai. In my opinion, all the expenses this time should be shared equally between the three of us. ”

Saying that, he felt that something was wrong, and he shouldn't have made decisions for the other two directly, because he looked at the other two and said, "What do you say? ”

Qi Yuanwai said this, Fu Wuniang naturally had no opinion, and Tang Chongde looked even more happy, a little inexplicably happy. When Tang Xiang took out the silver ticket again, he was very unhappy.

Now that Qi Yuanwai said this, he was a little happier.

As for why, only Tang Xiang knows again.

As if he was afraid of everyone's opposition, Tang Chongde hurriedly said: "I think what Qi Yuanwai said is right, the shopkeeper Tang finally came up with such an idea, so naturally he can't let him pottery silver." Let's do what the staff says, and the three of us will share it equally. In this way, I will give three thousand four hundred taels alone. I, Tang Chongde, also swear here, if I quit halfway and betray everyone, then the business of my Colorful Phoenix Jade Shop will collapse from now on. ”

Tang Xiang was very satisfied with Qi Yuanwai and Tang Chongde's statements, and now, only Fu Wuniang has not yet expressed his position. Therefore, everyone looked at her and waited for her to speak.

Of course, now it looks like it is justified, so the eyes of the three of them are a little straightforward.

Fu Wuniang knew very well in her heart, what she said, what she said, the money was evenly shared, it was all for herself. Since she loves acting so much, she is also happy to accompany her.

So, Fu Wuniang said without thinking about it: "Since everyone is so confident, I naturally can't hold back." Don't worry, I swear by Fu Wuniang that if I betray everyone, God will let me close the door of Youmeizhai. By the way, here are three thousand two hundred taels of silver. Shopkeeper Tang, you can put it away. ”

Seeing that Fu Wuniang finally expressed her position, several people were happy.

If you want to say that what everyone values the most, it is naturally your own shop. Now the three bosses have sworn by their own shops, which makes Tang Xiang feel better again. I don't think I'll regret it.

Ye Yuntian, you wait for me, Tang Xiang said secretly in his heart again.

Seeing that the business was over, Qi Yuanwai just wanted to ask Xiao Er to come up and order food, saying that he would treat him for this meal today, but Fu Wuniang stood up and said: "Everyone, there are still some things in my shop, so I will leave first, and you continue." ”

The words that made Qi Yuan get stuck in his neck, and his face was uncomfortable.

But fortunately, she left first, if she waited for herself to order food, pretending to be generous, it would be a loss. Therefore, the dishes were not ordered, and Xiao Er stopped screaming, just drinking tea and watching the beauty leave.

Seeing this, after thinking about it, Tang Xiang called Xiao Er up again, ordered a large table of dishes according to the preferences of several people, and said that he would treat this meal by himself. Qi Yuanwai was so happy that he hurriedly ate it.

Seeing this, Tang Chongde seemed to want to say something, but Tang Xiangyou's gaze stopped.

The meal was eaten without danger, and slowly dispersed.

Regardless of whether Fu Wuniang dined in the store or not, anyway, under the vigorous publicity of Boss Wang, Fu Wuniang had just dined in Liuyunxuan and felt that the Yulouchun in the store was very delicious.

Sure enough, as Boss Wang expected, for a while, countless scholars poured into Liuyunxuan, although they didn't have the strength to open the private room on the top floor, they asked for a pot of Yulou Chun, and sat by the window and chanted poems.

After a few days, Liuyunxuan's turnover reached a terrifying number, which made Boss Wang so happy.

Zhixian back hall.

Gu Xixi was fidgeting and walking around the room.

Ever since Yao Wushuang came back to ask her for help, she hadn't slept well. According to the contract, this time it must be compensated. In other words, one million taels of silver should be taken out at once.

That's fine, they Gu Jiayuan is not short of this bit of silver, not to mention that they have really made a lot of money in the past ten years.

It's just to let her bleed, and she doesn't care if she cares.

What she really cares about is nothing more than two things.

One is that this shop is what she wants to leave to that hard-working child, since she can't give him maternal love and family warmth, this shop is the only thing she can think of that she can give him openly.

When Shopkeeper Ye and Yao Wushuang get married, as soon as her son is found, she will give this shop to the two in the name of dowry.

With the Ye shopkeeper here, the child will not suffer.

As for the second, she was still a little unsure. According to Yao Wushuang, Shopkeeper Ye and Uncle Gu both suspected that this incident had nothing to do with that Fu Wuniang.

She knows that ice beauty, and she is as famous as herself in terms of talent and appearance. Back then, there were also those who did good deeds and called them "Erjiao".

It was after she married Bai Zhixian that this name was gradually forgotten.

Before, she had heard that Fu Wuniang seemed to like Ye Yuntian, but in her opinion, this matter seemed to be unreliable at all.

As long as Fu Wuniang says that she wants to get married, there will naturally be no fewer suitors, and there are many people who are a hundred times better than Ye Yuntian.

So, in that case, why did she target Jumbo Zhai?

It seems that maybe it's just the speculation of the shopkeeper Ye.

What she never expected was that the scene where she and Shopkeeper Ye went to the Big Buddha Temple to ask for a sign a few days ago was originally to break up, but it became a show of affection in Fu Wuniang's eyes and an eternal pain in Fu Wuniang's heart.

After thinking about it, he still had no clue, so he raised his voice and called Cuizhu.

After a few words in Cuizhu's ear, Cuizhu was ordered to go out. After a while, Zhou Ying, the person in charge of collecting intelligence in the secret guard, appeared in front of Cuizhu with great reluctance.

Perhaps because of the nature of his profession, Zhou Yingren is as his name suggests, with sharp, clear, proud and cold eyes, like the eyes of an eagle.

Rao is Cuizhu who prides himself on following Gu Xixi to see big scenes, but in the face of such a pair of eyes, he still can't help but panic --- in front of it, as if lying is a sin.

After listening to Cuizhu's instructions, Zhou Ying was a little unimpressed.

The information he collected in the past was all at the aristocratic level, and the lord would not easily call him out unless necessary. When he first received the order, his heart was excited, thinking that there was something big to do, but he didn't expect it to be such a small thing.

I don't know what the Qin clan thinks.

However, this was the order of the master's family, even if it was easy, he had to go all out to do it--- this was originally the first principle of the secret guard.

It's a pity that even Cuizhu doesn't know that the only owner of Zhou Ying in this life is Mrs. Qin's Qin family, not Gu Xixi, let alone her Cuizhu.

Yumi Zhai

Coming back from Liuyunxuan, Fu Wuniang was a little unhappy. When he entered the house, he waved away all his subordinates, and even sent away his personal maid. She sat by the window alone, with her hands on her cheeks, looking at the bustling crowd downstairs in a daze.

If Tang wanted to see a few more people, he would be stunned again.

Before this, she really thought that she had forgotten about those things, but it turned out that she had never forgotten them.

On the day when Gu Xixi and Shopkeeper Ye went to the Big Buddha Temple, she was actually there. Things are such a coincidence, because she has been worried for several days, she can't sleep at night, and during that time Jubao Zhai has been persuading herself to cooperate, so she is a little upset, so she wants to ask the Bodhisattva for guidance from the Big Buddha Temple.

I didn't know, but I met the person I wanted to see and the person I hated the most.

When she saw Ye Yuntian sad looking at Gu Xixi's back who had resolutely turned around, at that moment, her heart ached.

At that moment, she secretly swore in her heart that if there was a way to make Gu Xi's heart ache, she would be willing to do whatever she wanted. This woman was simply too dissatisfied, she took the lead in getting Ye Yuntian's heart, and as soon as she turned around, she got tired of playing, married Bai Zhixian, and gave birth to two evil seeds.

Seeing Ye Yuntian's dejected appearance, Fu Wuniang quietly followed. It's just that, just like for so many years, this time is no exception, she can only quietly follow behind Shopkeeper Ye.

She hid like that, looking at Shopkeeper Ye stupidly.

It's just that the shopkeeper Ye's eyes have been looking at Gu Xixi.

is obviously a married woman, but she still doesn't know the checkpoints, and she still comes out like this to seduce her sweetheart. There is not only one temple in this vicinity, and the day of asking for a visa is by no means only today, but the two will appear at the same time.

Whatever one may say, it cannot be a coincidence.

The more I thought about it, the more hatred grew in my heart.

After returning home, in the face of Tang Xiangyou and Tang Chongde's invitation again, she agreed without hesitation.

She can't be blamed for this, it's just because it's time for Gu Xixi to taste what pain is. After all, in this life, once you come to this world, you will never be able to avoid suffering. Otherwise, why would everyone come into this world crying?

Now, what she wants is to beg herself while crying.

At that time, she had her own reasoning.
