Chapter 41: The Celebration Feast
When Liu Yifan returned home, it was getting brighter, and he didn't undress, so he fell asleep directly on the bed.
When I woke up, it was already unitary, and it was dark.
This time I was still awakened hungry.
"Why are you always hungry so fast lately?" Liu Yifan rubbed his stomach.
But at this time, he was penniless, and there was no rice at home, so he was in a hurry this time, and he didn't bring much silver taels, and all the silver taels he took from those people yesterday were exchanged for Ejiao and given to Qin Qiong.
"It's really a family with four walls." Liu Yifan shook his head with a wry smile, got up and walked out.
Anyway, let's go out and have a look first.
As soon as I opened the courtyard door, I saw a twisted figure in the distance walking forward, and when I got closer, it was a middle-aged man with a delicate face and a smile on his eyebrows, with a slightly bent waist and an orchid finger on his fingers.
"You are Mr. Liu Yifan, right?" The middle-aged man said softly, staring at him like a flame between his eyebrows.
Liu Yifan felt the other party's blazing eyes, a little overwhelmed, it was the first time he was stared at like this by a man.
"Could it be that this is a eunuch?" I thought to myself, but the middle-aged man's neat beard broke this thought.
"It's right here, I don't know what to do with me?" Liu Yifan didn't know this person, and bowed respectfully.
"Hey, how can you let the little gentleman make such a big gift, hurry up." As he spoke, the middle-aged man lifted Liu Yifan forward, gently swiped his hands across his arms, and said with a look of enjoyment: "I didn't expect Mr. Xiao's skin to be maintained so well." ”
Liu Yifan only felt that there was a spirit in his whole body, like an electric current spreading throughout his body, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back and said.
"I don't know who you are......"
The middle-aged man was like a woman, put an orchid finger to his lips in one hand, and said with a smile: "Look at my memory, I forgot to say it, it is natural for Mr. Xiao to be so angry." After speaking, he laughed twice, which was creepy.
"I am Li Er's servant, just call me Lin Gong, my master specially held a celebration banquet for Mr. Xiao tonight, let me invite Mr. Xiao." The middle-aged man said with a smile.
Liu Yifan suddenly said, it turned out to be Brother Li, and he did say that he would prepare a banquet yesterday, but he didn't expect it to be so fast, and then said: "Then please ask Lin Gong to lead the way, it's a lot of hard work." ”
"Where is it, my master said that you must treat the little gentleman with courtesy, and you can't lose your courtesy." Lin Gong seemed to be very happy and said: "That place is actually very familiar to Mr. Xiao. ”
"Oh?! I don't know where Brother Li set up this celebration banquet? Liu Yifan said curiously.
"It's the Splendid Fragrance Building." Lin Gong took the opportunity to gently lean on Liu Yifan with his shoulder.
"Oh! Isn't there something going on there recently, and it's badly damaged, how can it be there? Liu Yifan said suspiciously, Brother Li who caught ghosts there yesterday saw it with his own eyes, and even walked through the inside, so he didn't know it.
"Hey, my little gentleman, you really don't know my master, as long as my master wants to celebrate, then he can celebrate there, even if the damage is serious, it is a matter of words." Lin Gong took the opportunity to get a little closer.
"I didn't expect Brother Li to be so powerful." Liu Yifan dodged to the side as he spoke.
"Hehe, my master still has a lot of skills, Mr. Xiao will know in the future, but my master is usually busy, if you can't find my master in the future, you can also find me directly, I am also quite reliable in this Chang'an City." After speaking, he actually stretched out his hand to take Liu Yifan's arm, and held a sign in his hand.
"That's a lot of trouble, thank you, thank you." Liu Yifan hurriedly dodged, took a step, and actually left nearly three steps away.
"Mr. Mistaken little man, this one." Lin Gong was not angry, put away the sign, and beckoned to Liu Yifan.
"Lin Gong please!" Liu Yifan immediately stretched out his right hand, extremely respectful.
"Hehehe, it's still a ......" Lin Gong laughed a few times teasingly, turned around and walked towards the Splendid Tianxiang Building: "Mr. Xiao has to follow closely, don't lose it." ”
"No, no." Liu Yifan coped with two sounds.
But what happened next made his eyes widen.
I saw that after Lin Gong finished speaking, he smiled at him, suddenly accelerated his pace, and behind his hands, as if stepping on the wind, whistling past, rushing arrows, and rushing waves.
Liu Yifan didn't expect that the other party was actually a master, not only did he rise to a competitive spirit, but he used his legs to chase after him.
But no matter how hard Liu Yifan ran, he was still a little bit close.
On the other hand, Lin Gong's breath was steady, and he couldn't see a trace of panic at all, and whenever he almost caught up, he suddenly accelerated and pulled away, as if he was deliberately teasing Liu Yifan.
After a while, the two came to the door of the Splendid Fragrance Building.
Liu Yifan gasped for breath and looked at Lin Gong in disbelief.
"How? What does the little gentleman think of my foot strength? Lin Gong still stood there with his hands behind his back, looking light, and his breath was not a trace of chaos.
"Lin Gongzhen is a master, and the kid is willing to bow down." After speaking, Liu Yifan's stomach gurgled uncontrollably.
He was already awakened by hunger, but at this time, because of his competitiveness, he had just run such a long distance, and he was even more hungry, and he was already weak, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks.
"Hey, I said my little ancestor, how can you sit on the ground, how dirty, get up quickly." Lin Gong hurriedly stepped forward to help again, and took out a white handkerchief from somewhere.
Liu Yifan originally had no strength, but seeing Lin Gong take the initiative to help himself again, he recalled the feeling like an electric current just now, and he didn't want to experience it once in his life.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, he gritted his teeth and stood up, and took two steps back to dodge.
"I didn't expect Mr. Xiao to recover so quickly, no wonder my master admires you so much." Lin Gong said softly.
"Lin Gong has a good reputation." Liu Yifan wiped the sweat on his forehead, he was really in danger just now, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
But then I thought about it, my big brother Li is really powerful, not only surrounded by people like Qin Jing who are not afraid of ghosts and evils, but also good men like Brother Wei Chi and Brother Cheng, and now it seems that this Lin Gong in front of him is also a master, and he is only a servant of Brother Li.
Liu Yifan is not only suspicious, what is this Brother Li doing?
What puzzled him the most was that if his big brother Li was really like Lin Gong, he could hold it wherever he wanted, no matter what kind of building it was destroyed, he could be as new as new with just one sentence.
And he often said that he knew people in the court.
Liu Yifan frowned and thought deeply, with such ability, he is still surnamed Li, and his brain flashed, could it be ......
"What is the little gentleman doing? Let's not stand here, let's go in, your big brother Li is still waiting for you." Lin Gong suddenly interrupted Liu Yifan's thoughts and urged.
"Okay, Lin Gong bothered, I'll go in." Liu Yifan simply didn't guess, anyway, we were going to meet in a while, just ask in person, if people don't want to say more, then don't force it, anyway, it's the most important thing to fill your stomach now.
Thinking of this, Liu Yifan followed Lin Gong and strode in.
"Wow!!" Liu Yifan's first reaction when he went in was to sigh involuntarily.
In the building, Liu Yifan can only use two words to describe "luxury"
It was originally the most luxurious restaurant, although in the fight with Yang Guang yesterday, he broke a lot of utensils, and damaged the walls and surrounding stone pillars.
But now the utensils placed around are many times better than before, and those ruined stone pillars and walls have not only been restored to their original state, but also added many golden peonies and jade beads as embellishments.
What made Liu Yifan sigh even more was the rows of tables, chairs and benches.
Liu Yifan reached out and touched it, this is the best mahogany.
You must know that in the previous life, such a good set of mahogany furniture was very expensive, and although an otaku like himself liked it, he really couldn't afford it.
Now since the system was opened, I have always wanted to exchange this set, but it is also ridiculously expensive, and it has not been successful.
But now there are so many mahogany tables in front of him, and they are all the best materials, Liu Yifan can't help but touch them.
"What? Brother Liu likes? Li Shimin stood at the top of the stairs and said with a smile.
Liu Yifan nodded and said: "Tables and chairs of this material are really rare, if you are not a famous family, you really can't afford it." ”
"Since Brother Liu likes it, it just so happens that I have a friend who has a lot of research on this thing, and in a few days, I will send you a set, which is guaranteed to be better than this." Li Shimin said.
Liu Yifan didn't shirk and said, "Then thank you, Brother Li." ”
"Hahaha, come on, my brother has held this celebration banquet for you, and I hope my brother will not dislike the simple." Li Shimin stepped forward and took the initiative to take Liu Yifan's hand.
Lin Gong on the side shrunk his neck, I'm afraid no one in this world dares to dislike it.
As soon as Liu Yifan heard that there was something to eat, he hurriedly walked up to the third floor with Li Shimin.
It's the same place as last time, but it's a little more crowded.
There are several people such as Empress Changsun, Wei Chi Jingde, and Cheng Biting Jin.
Liu Yifan saluted one by one.
The reason why Li Shimin brought these people here is that these people have all met Liu Yifan, so they will not be too restrained.
Second, of course, it is to drink and talk happily, the eldest grandson queen does not need to say that whenever Li Shimin feels that he will get drunk, he will take her with him.
And Wei Chi Jingde and Cheng Yanjin have been loyal and like brothers since they returned to the Tang Dynasty.
As for Wei Zheng, Li Shimin still won't call him on this occasion, as a generation of outspoken ministers, Li Shimin doesn't want to break his interest at this time.
And Qin Qiong was recuperating at home at this time.
Don't say a word, everyone knows each other, and there is no need to be polite, Li Shimin is also exceptionally open-minded tonight, and those etiquettes are not deliberately observed.
Then they let go of a little and began to eat and drink.
After three rounds of drinking, several people got slightly drunk.
Liu Yifan was also full, holding his chin and looking at Li Shimin with interest.
Looking at it this way, Li Shimin was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"My brother has a few questions I want to ask Brother Li." Liu Yifan said solemnly.
Li Shimin first looked at Lin Gong, and when he saw Lin Gong shaking his head, he said, "Brother Liu has any problems, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it." ”
"Brother Li really opened a dart game?"
Li Shimin was stunned, but his expression was only for a moment, and he smiled: "Why do you have this question?" ”
"Whether it's my brother's guard Qin Jing, or my friend Brother Wei, as well as these two brave friends, I can see that they are all extraordinary people, although I don't have a fortune telling, but I still have the ability to know people."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Li Shimin, waiting for an answer.
