Chapter 247: Reunion
Chapter 247: Reunion
"Let's go, see if this place is comparable to your frangipani. Forrest Gump"
Mu Qi took Gu Wan's hand and slowly ascended the stairs.
Although it is a small restaurant built in the suburbs, the Mu family is obviously attentive, the whole building is wooden, or I don't know where to get the old wood, not painted, but the color is bright, the smell is fragrant, the stripes of the log, and there is a very simple beauty.
The shop guy obviously knew Mu Qi, and respectfully greeted him on the second floor, this Mu family restaurant is not high, only two floors, there is a patio in the center of the second floor, you can see the first floor, the sun is shining in the early snow, through the bamboo window, the whole restaurant, with indescribable quiet, crowded together guests, seems to be affected by this atmosphere, and the voice is a little lower.
"How's business going these days?" Mu Qi's gaze swept over the noisy crowd and asked with a smile.
Obviously, he saw so many customers, and asked about business, and he must not be talking about these ordinary customers.
The shopkeeper wiped the table clean with his hands and feet, and poured Mu Qi a cup of good tea that ordinary guests would never drink: "Hey, the business is really not good, and the seventh master also knows that such high-rollers like to be quiet, it snowed a while ago, and there were too many guests stranded in the restaurant, so that many high-rollers were squeezed away, and the shopkeeper kept chattering, hoping that the snow would melt and disappear as soon as possible." ”
He paused, but a smile appeared on his face, "However, when the sixth master of the Hou Mansion of Qidong returns to Beijing today, he may be able to make a small profit." ”
Mu Qi smiled, and let a few side dishes be served, all of which were very simple, just a boiled fish, a plate of dried bamboo shoots, a plate of mixed tofu, and a plate of peanuts.
Gu Wan occasionally picked a few chopsticks into her mouth. It's just to taste the taste, her mouth is nourished, and the food outside is really unaccustomed.
Mu Qi's eyes kept falling downstairs, and there were many guests downstairs. However, there is a clear distinction, and the guests on the east side appear chaotic and crowded. There are even more than a dozen people, sharing a square table for eight people, but the west side is different.
A vermilion carved screen separates a table from the surroundings, and a snow-white and delicate porcelain vase is placed on the table, and the plum blossoms in the vase are delicate. Two men dressed as servants swept the tables, chairs, benches and floors, and laid them out to sparkle in the sun. At first glance, the expensive tablecloth, and then the dishes, chopsticks, cups and saucers, the chopsticks are ivory, and they are definitely worth a lot.
Everything was ready, and only a few people came in outside.
The first one is a full Ayaro. A little fat, white and tender, accompanied by a young man dressed as a typical scribe, Mu Qi frowned, and whispered to his daughter-in-law with a little curiosity on his face: "He is the Liulang of the Qidong Hou Mansion, Zhao You." //..”
Before the words were finished, seventeen or eighteen men dressed as barbarians followed the two into the door.
As soon as these dozen or so people appeared, the surroundings were suddenly quiet, and some of the guests who couldn't hold their breath were emotional. There was a little dislike between his eyebrows and eyes, and even the shopkeeper liked to ignore it, and no guy ran to say hello.
Obviously, this group of guests has little eyesight, and as soon as they enter the door, they look around, and their faces are full of arrogance. He didn't seem to feel left out at all.
Because of the cold weather, these barbarians from the northwest were all dressed in leather robes, and the leader was the one who might have a different identity, dressed luxuriously, and had a cat's eye sized ruby on his hat.
Beckoned them to sit down, and asked the shopkeeper to pick up good wine and good food, although the shopkeeper did not wait to see them, but the action of serving the food was not slow, and after a while, a table full of chicken, duck and fish was placed.
Mu Qi frowned: "It's an envoy of the Hehan tribe, I remember that Zhao You was an idle post in the Ministry of Industry, not in Honglu Temple." ”
After the chaos in the capital a while ago, Mu Yanxu cleaned up a large number of former dynasty clans, Qi Donghou was lucky, although there were also people who pointed out that he also participated in the rebellion, there was no evidence, when there were rebels in the capital, people stayed at home to recuperate, and they never got involved at all, so he escaped a catastrophe.
However, if the people of the Marquis of Qidong want to hold real power in the court, I am afraid it will take a lot of effort.
A group of barbarians at the bottom have begun to eat Haisai, the big bowl of meat into the mouth, the leader of the man ate heartily, for a long time, before exhaling and laughing: "You Daqing, people are weak like little chickens, vegetables, it's really good!" ”
His Chinese was very stiff, and his words were blurred, and the guests around him didn't hear clearly, but Gu Wan frowned.
The man turned his head again and muttered to his companion in the Dawa language.
As he was talking, he was dancing with his hands, when there was a sudden bang above his head, and a wine jar fell, and the man was startled, dodged for a while, avoided his head, and was only hit by the shoulder.
"Whew......"
He howled in pain, his face changed suddenly, and his rough face was distorted, looking extremely hideous, but this was normal, the wine jar was tall and thick, and it was fortunate that it didn't break his muscles and bones when it fell from such a high place.
Zhao You's face changed greatly, and he said angrily: "What person! ”
The dozen or so barbarians of the Hehan tribe even pulled out their scimitars at once.
The entire first floor was stunned, and all the guests raised their heads, and saw Mu Qi shaking his hand with a smile, still a light and breezy look, how can he not look like he would smash people with a wine jar.
But the second floor can hit this barbarian, except for him, there can be no one else.
The barbarian was furious, and grabbed the knife and was about to rush up, but he took a step forward, and with a thud, a bamboo chopstick, through one of his ears, brought out a bright red blood flower, and sank into the wooden wall.
The barbarian was attacked one after another, and he was drenched in cold sweat from pain, if he wasn't strong and strong, I'm afraid he would have fainted long ago, at this time he hated obviously forgetting to speak Chinese, and a series of Dawa languages were spit out, although everyone couldn't understand it, but just looking at his expression, it could be seen that what this person said was not a good thing.
Zhao You was glaring at it with an angry face, but when he saw Mu Qi's face, his face suddenly changed, and he quickly grabbed the Dawa people who were about to rush over to take revenge, and whispered a few words of persuasion before raising his head and saying, "Mu ...... Seventh Master, what are you? ”
Mu Qi sat down casually, sandwiched a chopstick dish for his wife, and then said: "I just want to try to see if the people of the Dawa tribe are thick-skinned and invulnerable, but unfortunately, they didn't hit their faces, and their hands were not accurate enough." ”
He glanced at the 'scarred' barbarian, "If you want our imperial chef to serve you and the king, it may be possible when you daydream." ”
The barbarian was stunned, his face turned red, he didn't expect that there were people in this place who were proficient in the language of the Dawa tribe - just now he drank his head, and his mouth was full of nonsense, and he was talking about the day when their Dawa iron horsemen could step on the Central Plains, and when the time came, they must tie up a group of imperial cooks in the palace to serve them and the king.
This is just a mouthful, where did I think it would be heard!
Now that the barbarians have been defeated, the Tatar tribe of the Dawa tribe, the Han tribe, the Fengyi tribe, and the envoys of several small tribes have gone to Beijing to seek peace, and there is an accident at this time, which is obviously inappropriate, even if the barbarians are stupid, they should understand that this is not the time for them to be ruthless. Although the person in front of him was dressed ordinarily, just looking at Zhao You's performance, he knew that this was another powerful kid who couldn't be provoked.
It's just that he lost half of his ear, and his face was lost, the Dawa people respect warriors, if he doesn't ask for it, he will definitely be punished when he goes back, since the nobleman above can't afford to provoke it...... The barbarian turned his head and turned his gaze in the direction where the chopsticks were flying.
With his gaze, everyone's gaze turned around.
Originally, everyone thought that there were too many customers in the restaurant, and there was a lot of noise, where could I find someone for a while? But I didn't expect that as soon as my eyes passed, I focused ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ]
