Chapter 14: Meet Luoyang Tea Soup House
The tea soup house in Luoyang is different from Yuncheng.
People call it the Nyamaki Pavilion.
In the past, the tea and soup house in Cloud City was a resting place for inferior people.
Although Luoyang is not rich, it is not comparable to Yuncheng, and there are many scholars.
This poor literati can't afford to go to a restaurant, so he will come to this tea soup house to eat tea, pretending to be a person who walks the rivers and lakes, and looks down on those who go to the rivers and lakes.
Over time, this Luoyang tea soup house has a new pattern.
The poor literati came, because they could read and write, and the table here was where they ate tea.
But when the people who walked the rivers and lakes came, they didn't dare to offend the ministers here, so they had to stand and eat tea.
These inferior people are angry in their hearts, and they can't scold each other.
Although these ministers don't like them, if they are admitted one day and come back to settle accounts, but they have offended them again, wouldn't it be asking for trouble?
It just so happens that these scholars have fine skin and tender meat, full of articles, and don't like to do rough work, like a little girl's skin, so they call it Niangpi Restaurant behind their backs.
In this Niangpi Restaurant, it's not about rivers and lakes.
"Brother Li's poem is really magnanimous, I feel refreshed when I read it, but I have some humble opinions, I don't know whether to mention it or not."
"Brother Zhao is so literate! My pair has asked several people, but no one can come up, but Brother Zhao can come up with such an absolute ......"
"Some time ago, Bailifu was really powerful, and he actually hit the lifter."
When the other talents heard this, they all sighed.
"I heard that Nabailifu had never taken the exam, and he was just in time for the township exam, and he had a confidante who sent him to prison, so he was able to take the exam as a prisoner."
"According to legend, his confidante is a somewhat famous Liu Yan."
"I took the exam four times before I was admitted to Xiucai. If I have a confidante by my side, he is willing to pay for me...... Alas. ”
"Don't you know? Hearing that Bai Lifu had abandoned her after being lifted, Liu Yan washed her face with tears day and night. ”
"Really? I'd like to get to know this Yiliu Yan......"
Zhao He entered the tea soup house.
When the shopkeeper saw him, he hurriedly asked, "Guest officer, stay or eat?" ”
Zhao He said with a smile: "Tea soup house, sit down and eat tea." ”
"That's ......," the shopkeeper whispered, "the guest officer is going to eat standing up." ”
Zhao He was puzzled: "Why do I have to eat standing up, didn't I say that I sat down to eat tea?" ”
"Is the guest officer literate?"
"This is natural."
"Then take a seat."
After Zhao He sat down, he hugged his fists and said: "Invite all friends to have tea today, 200 yuan per person!" ”
The people in the neighborhood were stunned.
So they said in unison, "Thank you, brother." ”
"Brother is so generous?"
"Thank you."
Zhao He said softly: "I also bother the brothers to help spread the word, tonight Li Qiufeng will hold a banquet and invite Zhang Xiaolei." ”
Those showmen looked at each other.
Message?
"Who knows Zhang Xiaolei?"
"I don't know, who is Zhang Xiaolei?"
"Who is Li Qiufeng?"
The people who were standing and eating tea hurriedly came over and couldn't help asking, "Is it to deceive Saint Zhang Xiaolei?" He came to Luoyang? ”
Zhao He nodded and said, "It should be." ”
"We don't have to be invited to dinner, we can't sit down. Can you give cash directly, 50 cents per person? Let's go and preach. ”
"Huh?"
"They're not going to go on the road."
"That's right...... Then theirs are not invited. ”
These Xiucai were stunned when they heard this, and they didn't have a good face when they looked at Zhao He.
Isn't there something wrong with this person's brain?
I clearly said that I wanted to have a treat, but suddenly I didn't invite you!
Sick indeed!
People didn't care about Zhao He, and they ate and drank by themselves.
And those who went to the rivers and lakes took the money and hurriedly went out to publicize.
This propaganda naturally reached the ears of the night butcher.
He hurriedly went to find Zhang Xiaolei, but saw that Zhang Xiaolei took a bath and cleaned himself up.
The Night Butcher was puzzled, "Mr. Zhang, where are you going?" ”
"I'm going to find Shao Fei......" Zhang Xiaolei said with a smile, "He brought someone to pass the word, saying that he was looking for me." ”
The night butcher said seriously: "Don't care about Shao Fei first, someone is spreading the word in the tea soup house, saying that Li Qiufeng will invite you to dinner tonight!" ”
"Oh?"
Zhang Xiaolei frowned when he heard this.
What does this guy mean?
You suddenly want to invite him to dinner?
"I know, you go and bring Liu Xiuxiu to ...... at night," Zhang Xiaolei instructed, "Remember, never leave her side." ”
"Okay."
The night butcher hurried out, and Zhang Xiaolei decided to go to the tea soup house first.
The person who passed the word was Li Qiufeng?
He is not afraid that Li Qiuguang will kill him in the sky, at most, one life is worth one life, and he has never been afraid of the matter of dying with Li Qiufeng.
When he came to the tea soup house, Zhang Xiaolei saw Zhao He sitting there eating and drinking from a distance.
"Zhao He!"
His eyes widened in shock, and he hurriedly said, "Why are you here?" ”
Zhao He looked at Zhang Xiaolei suspiciously, he rubbed his eyes, and couldn't help but say, "Xiaolei? Are you really? ”
"It's me."
"Why are you so fat-headed and big-eared...... Zhao He exclaimed, "I almost didn't recognize you." ”
Zhang Xiaolei smiled: "I don't want to talk to you about this, but I might as well tell me why you are here." ”
When he saw Zhao He, his heart suddenly became a little comfortable.
The previous unpleasantness has actually been reduced a little.
Zhao He couldn't help but feel aggrieved, he wiped his tears and said: "I was abducted to Luoyang by that Li Qiufeng, saying that he wanted to take me hostage......"
He told the matter one by one, and after Zhang Xiaolei heard it, he clenched his fists angrily and said angrily: "Dabao is gone? ”
"It should be gone, and I was stabbed directly in the stomach."
"Li Qiufeng, this brute, if he wants to be an evil ghost, he will do it to the end, kill Dabao and let you go, and you still think I can receive this kindness?"
"I think he's a little erratic."
Zhang Xiaolei said coldly: "Want to be a good person in front of your wife? ”
"What should I do?"
"What else can I do, I want his life, so that there is a companion under Dabao Jiuquan!"
Zhang Xiaolei gritted his teeth with hatred, and at this time, a voice suddenly came from the door: "Dabao is not dead." ”
Zhang Xiaolei turned his head suddenly, but saw Shao Fei enter the tea soup house.
Shao Fei came over and sat down, nodded to Zhang Xiaolei and said, "I heard that Li Qiufeng is going to have a banquet for you here, so I came to take a look, Xiaolei, you ...... Oh my god, why are you so fat! ”
"Don't mention this, what do you mean by saying that Dabao is not dead?"
"My sister sent a letter asking me to help you, and the letter mentioned that Dabao was not dead, but only slightly injured."
Zhang Xiaolei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It's okay.
He said sincerely: "I didn't expect you to come to my aid. ”
"I didn't expect you to come to Luoyang...... Shao Fei said with emotion, "Xiao Lei, I have something to ask you." ”
"You say."
"I was almost kicked out of the Shao family for gambling, do you know?"
"Yes."
"Those thugs lied to me and left, and I didn't intend to find out that you left on the same day as them. Now that you're in Luoyang, I have no intention of seeing one of them appear in Luoyang......" Shao Fei asked, "Do they have anything to do with you?" ”
Zhang Xiaolei said coldly: "Although I am a gangster, don't think that I will collude with gangsters!" ”
"Offended, offended. I have no intentions, don't be angry. ”
