Chapter 167: Drinking (1st Shift)

Xie Lin changed into clean clothes, took the money bag, and hurried to the gate of the Ruian Palace.

Zhou Gu came on horseback, leaning on the horse with a long body, lazily leaning on the horse and waiting for people to come out, although Xie Lin ran out without delaying for a long time, and didn't let him wait long, but he still looked at him unpleasantly, gave him a cold look, turned over on the horse, and said to him, "Let's go."

Xie Lin couldn't figure it out, "What kind of look did you look at me just now?" I didn't offend you, did I?"

Zhou Gu naturally didn't say "You offended me" at this time, lest he turn around and go back, so that he couldn't settle the account, but said, "Hurry up and get on the horse."

Xie Lin felt a chill all over him, "That, you won't hold it back, will you?"

Zhou Gu was impatient, "Do you want to go?"

Xie Lin retreated a little, "You don't seem to be in a good mood, you say okay first, are you looking for me to drink?"

Don't take him to the Protector's Mansion, just train him like the guards in his mansion, and train him too, right? His little self-defense skills of the three-legged cat can't stand it.

"What nonsense? Didn't you ask me for a drink the other day?" Zhou Gu looked at him condescendingly on his horse, "What are you afraid of?"

Xie Lin stalked his neck, "Who's afraid?"

Zhou Gu waited for him not to be afraid, "Then don't hurry up!"

Xie Lin could only take the reins of the horse, turn over and get on the horse, thinking that it was rare for Zhou Gu to find him for a drink, who was afraid of whom? Although his martial arts are not good, he drinks a ...... The amount of alcohol doesn't seem to be good.

But、But he's not afraid to get drunk!

So, the two rode together and went to the welcome square in the east of the city.

Coming to the door, Advisor Zhou Xie Lin, "Have you brought enough money?"

Xie Lin nodded, "I have made a lot in the past few days, and half of the five thousand taels of silver my mother gave me are left." He looked at the plaque at the Welcome Square, "But that's enough, right?"

Zhou Gu settled the account for him, "Well, two thousand five hundred taels of silver, two hundred taels of drunken flower drink, and twelve altars of drunken flowers, it's almost the same."

One altar is one catty, and twelve altars are twelve catties. The remaining one hundred taels, and then order a table of dishes, just right.

Xie Lin's eyes widened, "Isn't it? You're going to spend all my money?"

He has been drinking with people in the past few days, and he has never come to the Welcome Place, because the wine here is too expensive to drink, and he doesn't want to invite people to drink such expensive wine. Zhou Gu was good, but he was not polite, and he directly brought him to the welcome room.

Zhou Gu didn't thank Lin, handed over the reins of the horse to the shopkeeper, and walked directly into the threshold.

Xie Lin had no choice but to follow in with the money bag.

The welcome square has been newly arrived in the past two days, and the supply is sufficient, so although it is noon, not as good as the evening, it is still full of guests and friends, and the house is full of wine.

Xie Lin sniffed and muttered behind Zhou Gu in a low voice, "There are still many rich people in Beijing, and at noon, one by one, there is really spare money to drink such an expensive wine." The smiling wine lady in Jiangning County is really good at doing business, the welcome shop has only been open for two or three months, and she has made crazy money, and she has been targeted, and if she continues to make money like this, she will block the financial path of other wine shops, and sooner or later she will have to be troubled."

Zhou Gu didn't seem to hear it, and went straight to the upstairs private room by the young man.

"Huh? Did you book a private room in advance? It's hard to book a private room." Xie Lin followed behind him, chattering, "You have already made up your mind to bring me over and let me invite you to drink?"

"No, it suddenly arises." Zhou Gu finally replied to him.

"Then you're so lucky, you have a private room as soon as you come." Xie Lin stepped on the stairs with a clattering sound.

The two came to the private room, there were tables and chairs by the window, Zhou Gu walked over and sat down, and said to Xie Lin, "Throw your money bag to him, and let him order wine and food as we agreed."

The corners of Xie Lin's mouth twitched, regretting telling Zhou Gu how much money he had truthfully, and he wanted to try to save his money bag, "The two of us, can't drink the twelve altars, right?"

"I said I could drink it, and I drank it." Zhou Gu motioned to him to give money first, so as not to get drunk and settle the bill if he was unconscious.

Xie Lin was speechless, so he could only throw the money bag to the young man and instruct him, "Inside

and two thousand five hundred taels of silver, and let them be taken down and given to the treasurer of your place, and let the treasurer of your treasurer give twelve jars of wine, and the rest of the silver for a table of dishes."

It was the first time for the young man to see such a proud lord, so he answered happily, and went happily with the money bag.

Xie Lin was very reluctant, and covered his heart in distress, "Hmm, my money bag."

Zhou Gu ignored him, sat lazily against the window, looked at the bustling flow of people outside the window, and remembered that day in Jiangning County, Su Rong wanted to save Jiang Xing, and dragged her to make an appointment with Jiang Xing to go to Drunken Goose Fang for a secret talk, and it was also on that day that he looked down from top to bottom in the restaurant, and saw Xie Lin who had just arrived in Jiangning County through the street.

Time has passed, and it has only been two or three months, and now that he has returned to the capital, he and Su Rong have divorced.

It's really the stars that are easy to illusory, and people's hearts are changeable.

Xie Lin saw Zhou Gu staring out the window, and he also looked out, the bustling flow of people, he didn't see anything, he turned his head suspiciously, and asked Zhou Gu puzzled, "What are you looking at?" What's there to see? It makes you look at it with a good eye."

"Nothing to look at." Zhou Gu retracted his gaze.

Xie Lin felt that Zhou Gu was very wrong, and asked him tentatively, "I heard that Miss Su Qi entered Beijing on the day of the scientific examination, and on the first day of entering Beijing, she was lucky enough to bump into the Duanhua County Lord on the street, and then she was invited by the Duanhua County Lord to be a guest in the mansion?" Not only did he not suffer from the trial, but he also made people surprised that he became a distinguished guest in the princess's mansion and was treated as a guest?"

When he heard about it, he was stunned for a long time, and asked hard if it was true, and all the answers were true, he didn't believe it, so he ordered someone to check, check and check, half a point is true, he really can't believe it.

Seeing that Zhou Gu didn't speak, he asked curiously, "Did you and Su Rong quarrel?"

Zhou Gu sneered, but still didn't answer.

Xie Lin was sure that he had really quarreled with Su Rong, and he babbled and persuaded him, "Oh, wasn't your temper very good when you were in Jiangning County? How can you return to your own territory in the capital, and you will relapse into your old ways? Bad temper again? You can't do this, who said that my daughter's family wants to coax you? By the way, it's my sister. She has always told me to restrain my temper a little, otherwise no one will marry me in the future."

"I haven't seen you for a few days, why do you talk so much? Ate stewed starling?" Zhou Gu asked in disgust.

Xie Lin was instantly dumbfounded.

The young man brought in with a jar of drunken flowers and placed them on the table one by one, and there were twelve altars. Immediately afterward, someone came in with a plate full of dishes full of color and aroma, and then someone came in with a tray of teapots and cups.

The shopkeeper personally came to entertain the big customers, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Zhou Xiaogongzi and Xie Xiaowangye, two distinguished guests came to the door, and the two of you recorded their names in our host's house, saying that as long as they saw you two coming, the original price of wine, but the food and tea money will be free."

After he finished speaking, he returned the money bag to Xie Lin, "There are still one hundred and two taels of silver left in it, and the little prince Xie has taken it."

Xie Lin originally thought that there would be nothing left, but he didn't expect that there would be this preferential treatment, he was really surprised, "Your host is called Lan Niang?"

In Jiangning County, he went to Xiaoyingke to buy wine a few times, and the wine lady seemed to know that he had a good relationship with Zhou Gu, and lived in Taishou Mansion together, and he charged him a few taels less every time, and he was very polite and kind, he knew that it was for Su Rong's sake.

The shopkeeper smiled and nodded, "Exactly."

Xie Lin took back the money bag with confidence, and packed the ticket with sincerity, "Your host formed a good relationship with me when he was in Jiangning County, and he is giving face like this today, if there is trouble in the welcome shop in the future, just send someone to the Ruian Mansion to find me, I dare not say a lot of big things, and I can still help solve one or two small troubles."

The shopkeeper waited for this sentence, and smiled hehe, "Then thank you little prince, the villain will not bother, you two use it slowly."

He was just about to retreat when Zhou Gu shouted, "Wait a minute."

The shopkeeper hurriedly stopped, looked at Zhou Gu, and listened, "Young Master Zhou, you just have to order."

"You don't have to tell me. I just want to ask your host, you just said that I am with him in your host's house

There is a name written there, saying that as long as they see us coming, they will be treated, when will they be there? Is it this time? Or every time in the future?"

The shopkeeper replied without hesitation, "Every time in the future."

Zhou Gu said, "Oh?" sighed, and his tone was fluttering, "Then you can help me ask your owner, the master has withdrawn from the marriage, what kind of preferential treatment is this?"

The shopkeeper was stunned.

Xie Lin's eyes widened in astonishment.

After Zhou Gu finished speaking, he waved his hand, "Go ahead!"

The shopkeeper hurriedly put away the expression on his face, arched his hand again, retreated, and closed the door lightly. After leaving the room, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking that the master had withdrawn from the marriage, and they didn't get any news.
