One day, I heard Master Jin say to Master that Du Jie wanted to study in the school in the county seat, and asked him if he had any acquaintances over there. Lin Dai raised his head from his rice bowl and said.

"Lin Dai said this, it is also possible, his grandfather's family had an old house in Qinghe County, which has been rented out, and after the New Year, it is estimated that it will be recovered for his own use, he has a place to stay in the county, and it is easy to stay there to study." Xu Shi thought for a moment and said softly.

"There is still more than half a month to go to the spring test, I will go to Qinghe County to open a restaurant immediately, if you want to go to the county school, we also have a place to live." Du Mei turned his head and asked Lin Dai.

"No, no, no, I would like to study in Yixue, the master treats me very well, and there are many books in the study, which is enough for me to read." Lin Dai didn't expect Du Mei to say this, he was in a hurry and shook his head like a rattle.

"In this case, it's good to study, Lin Yue and Lin Luan are still young, you are the eldest brother, you must always make an appearance, don't fall behind in the spring test!" Du Mei brought him a piece of braised pork.

"I know." Lin Dai buried his head in eating.

"My brother can study hard, and I see it in the middle of the night every day." Lin Luan said with big eyes.

"When reading at night, the lamp should be twisted into the bright spots, don't burn your eyes, there is a lot of cottonseed oil at home, and it is enough." Du Mei's tone was full of love, she didn't necessarily have to make Lin Dai famous, she just hoped that he could do his best when doing what he liked, and he would have no regrets.

"Hmm." Lin Dai answered in a low voice, buried his head lower, and tears fell into the rice bowl.

In a blink of an eye, the second day of February arrived, on this day, Meiji Food in Qinghe County was extravagantly lit up, red and green, and Dong Chang took the cook to prepare a large number of dishes for today two days in advance.

Du Mei was dressed in a new cotton satin skirt embroidered with gold cinnamon in a new begonia color, and the shiny red sandalwood hairpin was wrapped in a jet-black flowing cloud bun, at this time her eyebrows were picturesque, and she greeted customers at the door of the store with a smile, Dong Chang stood behind her in a dark blue robe, and whispered to her from time to time. The stone is hidden in the dark, and there will be no incident with people coming and going.

Most of the people who came were old customers of the drunken fairy building, and they valued the craftsmanship of the shopkeeper Dong, of course, there were also those who came to Du Mei to cheer for him, such as the shopkeeper Jiang of the spice shop who brought a group of friends. The most eye-catching is Shen Zhanghua wearing a moire brocade robe, he has been in office for almost three years, how many shops have been opened on South Street, no one has ever invited this parent official, but today it is rare to stand with Du Mei and talk.

Du Zhong's father and son and the Lin family went to the back kitchen to help, chopping firewood, setting up a fire, washing dishes, and choosing vegetables.

Zhong Yu accompanied Xu's mother and daughter to greet acquaintances in the store, he has excellent medical skills and outstanding medical ethics, many people are proud to know him, in Qinghe County, there are many more people who know him than he knows.

Ye Dan and Ye Qing led three or five friends here, and Niu Er Black Jiaolong also had a group of friends from the rivers and lakes who were angry, and they all came to cheer today.

For a time, rich businessmen, literati and ink writers, all three religions and nine streams gathered, everyone was either elegant, or rough, irrelevant to each other, drinking tea and chatting, but also very lively.

After a while, the auspicious time has arrived, in the red rain falling firecracker debris, Du Mei unveiled the red silk on the shop sign, Mei Ji Restaurant, the four big characters are still Zhong Yu's handwriting, gold characters on a black background, shining in the sun.

"Come in, everyone, it's time to open inside!" Du Mei greeted everyone warmly.

"I'm not too late." A handsome voice.

Du Mei turned around, only to see that the person who came was dressed in a crimson brocade robe, leading a golden horse, his face was like a crown of jade, his eyes were like stars, and a dark iron fan was holding it in his hand, except for Murong Xi, who else could there be?

"Why are you here? Why are you everywhere? Du Mei frowned, the winter sun was dazzling.

"I am the young sect master of Tantra, there is only what I don't want to know, and there is nothing I don't know!" Murong Xi's smile was bright, and the pear vortex on the left side of his face deepened.

"Since you're here, come in." Du Mei is not in a rut, he is a guest at the door, and he is happy to open today, so he can't be kicked out.

"Okay, arrange a private room for me." Murong Xi handed the horse to Yan Mo behind him, followed after two steps, and walked beside Du Mei.

"Mer!" It's just two simple words, but there are thousands of thoughts and cautions overflowing.

Du Mei turned back suddenly, she thought it was an illusion, and whenever she was tired from her work, she would always hear such a haunting voice calling her gently.

In the backlight, a dark and shiny horse, a man on a horse, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a pale blue cloud brocade robe covered with a mink fur, and the jade tassel on the waist fluttered in the wind.

Du Mei was in a trance for a moment, as if the time had gone back to the day before the previous year, when she was pulling firewood outside the courtyard in her thin clothes, and he and his attendants walked through the early light and whispered to her for directions.

"Chu Lin, what else are you doing? You're not welcome here! Murong Xi saw that Du Mei was stunned like an out-of-body figure, he stepped forward to stop him, and said hatefully.

"You're here, I'm too late?" Chu Lin turned over and dismounted, spared him indifferently, and walked straight towards Du Mei.

"You can't give her happiness, so why torture each other! Isn't it enough for you to hurt her? Murong Xi roared angrily.

"This benevolent brother, whether it is torture or happiness, you don't count if you say it!" Song Shaohuai handed over the two horses to Zhao Ji'an, approached him, and teased in a low voice.

"Heh, Gangneung City's gentleman boss, it's a big joke to tell me about happiness at this time!" Murong Xi glanced at Song Shaohuai and snorted coldly.

"Murong Xi is right, what are you doing!" Du Mei was awakened by the sound of their argument, frowning to hide his distraction.

"Meizi, your restaurant is open, how to say, I am also your brother-in-law, Fengxian has entered the house, there are elders to be filial, and there are children involved, I can't come for a while, I will come to congratulate her first." Song Shaohuai stepped forward with a smile and said.

"Plums! Inside the guests waiting...... Blaze. Zhong Yu saw that Du Mei had not come in for a long time, so he turned around and came back to look for it, but saw two groups of people glaring angrily.

These two groups of people, he knows Chu Lin and Song Shaohuai, if it is on weekdays, he must teach Chu Lin a good lesson, but at this time, the house is full of guests, if there is a trouble, Du Mei's face is not good-looking, and the business will be damaged.

"I'm happy today, I don't care about you, since I'm here, let's all go in and sit." Zhong Yu finally held back his anger, pulled down Du Mei's sleeve, and took her to take the lead.

Chu Lin strutted up, ignoring others, Murong Xi was so angry that he shook the corner of his robe, and followed in, Song Shaohuai snickered faintly, and immediately crossed the threshold seriously.

The lobby was full of people, there were no empty seats, one elegant room was occupied by a group of people from the shopkeeper Jiang, and the other room was temporarily empty because it was booked yesterday.

"Man, I ordered Luming yesterday!" Song Shaohuai raised his hand and said to the guy in the hall.

Luming is the empty room, and the other room is called Yuzao.

"You ......" Du Mei finally realized that this was a long-planned meeting, and she turned her head away in anger, ignoring them.

The man hurriedly led them through the noisy crowd, opened the door of the private room, and bowed down to invite them in.

"Hey, this is what I ordered, what's the matter with you?" Song Shaohuai blocked the door and didn't let Murong Xi come in.

"If you don't come, this one is mine!" Annoyed Murong Xi slashed at Song Shaohuai's chest with a palm.

"Is this murder for money, or is it the eradication of dissidents? The county magistrate of Qinghe County can sit outside. Song Shaohuai turned sideways and snorted.

"Hmph, you're a six-rank lieutenant of the Beijing patrol camp, and you also deserve me to do it?!" Murong Xi walked into the house disdainfully.

"Man, make tea!" Song Shaohuai held his breath, but he was helpless, what Murong Xi said was right.

"Here comes tea." After a while, the guy came in with a freshly brewed teapot.

"Don't want this!" Chu Lin frowned, his gaze resting on the tea set.

"This ...... Only the owner is the only one who can soak, and she is next door at this time. The guy was stunned by Chu Lin's powerful aura and muttered.

"How long will she have to go?" Chu Lin's face was as cold as frost and continued to ask.

"Our store is newly opened today, and I guess I have to ask for one...... Half an hour...... bar. As the man spoke, he peeked at Chu Lin's face, this man's face became more and more ugly, and he was almost going to eat people.

"Put the teapot aside, hurry up and urge the food, and when your host is free, tell her to come here." Song Shaohuai took out a dime of broken silver from his purse, threw it casually, and threw it to the man.

"Okay, sit down for a while, I'll do it." The man received such a great reward, and immediately agreed with a smile, and turned away on his feet.

The three of them sat speechless, bored, Murong Xi reached out and poured himself a cup of tea, drank it in one gulp, as if not quenching his thirst, and drank another cup.

"Whales swallow cows and drink, they really don't spend their own money!" Song Shaohuai rushed to pour two cups and said disdainfully.

"Is my Murong family still short of money?" Murong Xi looked at Song Shaohuai amusedly, as if he was saying a big joke.

"The Murong family has stood in Yunnan for a hundred years, rich and rival the country, the intelligence network is as dense as a spider's web, and the generations of Murong family heads are even more thoughtful, wise and close to demons. And you, the young sect master, the future sect master, must not make a mistake and drag the entire family into the abyss from which there will be no return! Chu Lin's voice was low, but the words were sonorous, and his words were full of warnings.

"This Great Shun Dynasty is Chu Pei's Great Shun Dynasty, what does it have to do with you? No matter how you change the world, you will always be the Nine Princes who are high above! Murong Xi held a cup and sipped tea a little bit, and unabashedly described the earth-shattering changes as a child's trick.

"I will not let you succeed! A repetition of the civil strife of more than a decade ago, which led to the devastation of lives and the displacement of people once again! Chu Lin said angrily.

"Chu Pei is narrow-minded and very suspicious, I'm afraid that even a younger brother like you is among his calculations, such a king, what do you do to protect him, it's better to change it as soon as possible, if you want to replace him, it's not ...... No! "Murong Xi's peach blossom eyes are raised, and there are all kinds of charm in his eyes, but they are infinitely murderous!

"You say these things, you really don't want to die!" Chu Lin was as fast as lightning and grabbed Murong Xi's throat!

"What is the fear of death?" Murong Xi smiled, smiling movingly, "If you sit on the throne, whoever you want to be the queen at that time will be the queen!" The world dared to say a word, and slashed things with a knife! ”
