This private room is quiet and exquisite, and the sound insulation effect is good, it is the most expensive and best room in Mochizuki Tower, even if you have money, you may not be able to get it.

However, it is nothing for the Qi family, let alone the next head of the Qi family, and Qi Hua, the captain of the horse, wants to personally invite guests to dinner.

In the back kitchen downstairs, the shopkeeper of Mochizuki Lou personally stared at the dishes that were about to be delivered, obviously very solemn.

The henchman is also the nephew of the shopkeeper, so he is puzzled, obviously they have a harder backstage, and they can even be called noble.

Why did his uncle treat Qi Hua with such fanfare?

"Uncle, I remember that the Qi family is only the county leader of Bei'an County, and the Xiao cavalry captain on this Qi Hua is only a six-grade treatment, why do you let you act so cautiously?" The little guy asked in a low voice of confusion.

"You know a fart, he Qi Gongzi was the first child at the age of fourteen, and he has been teaching and saving for many years, and this time he will be the third in the county exam, I think he has to pass all the way, and the worst is the same Jinshi."

Xiao Wu nodded and said: "If it is a fellow jinshi, you can release the eight-rank county from the start, and the Qi family also operates the seven-rank county order, so the knight of the cavalry captain is nothing." ”

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper shook his head, looked at the four sides again, and then taught his best nephew in the family: "The key is not Qi Hua, but his father." ”

"That Guanglu Temple Shaoqing?"

"Well, I heard from the people above, this Qi Shaoqing is about to move, and it is very likely that we will be delegated to Dingzhou."

The little guy was so shocked that he couldn't speak, if Qi's father returned to Dingzhou to take office, the political ecology of Bei'an County would change again.

Although he did not study the imperial examination seriously, he followed the errand of the palace, and he also had some knowledge.

"Braised sea bass is so good~"

At this time, there was a shout from the back kitchen, and a rich aroma greeted you.

The shopkeeper hurriedly walked into the smoke-filled place, personally brought out the perch, and said to the little guy: "You send it up, do you know what to do?" ”

"Yes, yes." The little guy nodded again and again.

Knocking on the door and walking into the private room, I saw two young men who were as rich as jade drinking each other, and the dishes on the table were dazzling, all of which were the best dishes in Mochizuki Tower.

"Qi Gongzi, Zhou Gongzi, this is the perch just received from Ningjiang, our shopkeeper said to give the two distinguished guests a taste."

"Oh? Ningjiang perch, I heard that it was stained with dragon blood, and it is famous, but I didn't order this dish, right? Qi Hua flicked the delicate fish on the plate a few times with his chopsticks, and looked at the little girl with a smile.

"This is a gift from this building, try it for the two counties, please try it." The little guy hurriedly stepped forward to pour wine and explained softly.

"That's good, let's be disrespectful, just let Brother Zhou taste the craftsmanship of the chef of the palace." Qi Hua waved his hand and motioned for the little guy to retreat.

The little guy breathed a sigh of relief and left the private room with a smile on his face, although he didn't have a penny, but Qi Hua was willing to accept the kindness of Mochizuki Tower, which was the most important thing.

"Taste?"

Zhou Bai was not polite, he directly sandwiched a piece of fish meat and put it in his mouth and savored it.

"Well, it's tender and delicate, it tastes delicious, it's good."

Hearing Zhou Bai's evaluation, Qi Hua said: "Of course, this is Ningjiang perch, it is very difficult to catch, and it takes a lot of effort to catch a few every time, often as a tribute." ”

"Then I'm blessed, but it's a pity that it's not sea bass in late autumn and early winter, otherwise it tastes better."

"Brother Qi has a big face, even Wangyue Tower is scolding you like this, I heard that the person on this restaurant is a certain palace?" Zhou Bai teased while eating.

"Well, the king of Xiyuan County in Liangzhou, Shizhen, the palace is on the edge of our Dingzhou." Qi Hua replied lightly.

Zhou Bai's chopsticks paused, the king of Xiyuan County, the king of Liang in his previous life? This is one of the earliest princes who seized Liangzhou and became kings.

Qi Hua thought that Zhou Bai was worried that there would be problems in dealing with the royal forces, so he said nonchalantly: "Why have you heard of this prince?" Don't worry, the court watched these princes closely, saying that it was the town of Liangzhou, but in fact, the order could not leave the palace, and the power of Liangzhou was in the hands of the governor. ”

"I see, Brother Qi has a number."

"Haha, it's just a restaurant that helps Xiyuan Wangfu make money, and the fish is eaten when it is eaten."

Qi Hua then said: "Having said that, why don't Brother Zhou stay in the county government and hone for a few years before going to the autumn season? ”

"I want to participate in this year's township examination, and I will not enter the county government as an official." Zhou Bai shook his head and replied.

"What? Are you sure? The top of the list, the head of the case, the next step will not really be ......! Qi Hua doesn't know Zhou Bai too well, but he also knows that he won't do things that he is not sure about.

Zhou Bai said solemnly: "Brother Qi, it's better to choose Mingsui Township to try, otherwise Xie Yuan will not have your share." ”

"Okay, you Zhou Bai, dare to ridicule Ben Xiao's cavalry captain, you have to drink this glass of wine!"

The wine is not a high-grade wine, it is just plum sake that Qi Hua brought from home, but between the two of them, the relationship between the two is obviously familiar.

Zhou Bai values Qi Hua's family background, Qi Hua values Zhou Bai's future potential, and both of them are willing to make friends, that is a friend.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhou Bai talked about business, and he promised Qi Hua to come to the appointment with a purpose.

"Brother Qi is short of pocket money?"

Qi Hua smiled on his face, but his heart moved, this was a good time to win over Zhou Bai.

So he said happily: "Could it be that Brother Zhou has any good business with his brother?" ”

"What's any good business, I'm going to end up in the autumn of this year, and I just want to make money for the road."

"How about publishing my personal poetry collection, how about 28 points? Printing, selling, and publicity are all your responsibility, and you will take eighty percent. Zhou Bai took out a stack of bundled papers from his arms, these are the poems he has made since the county exam.

Qi Hua spread it out and looked at it, the expression on his face changed, to be precise, there were many surprises, because there were several capitals that had not yet been circulated in the county town.

"Good word! You don't start practicing calligraphy from your mother's womb. ”

"It's all red poems and above the literary quality, just saying that this song is worth buying for readers from other counties."

"I did this business, even if I share it, I can accept it, but I have one condition." Qi Hua pondered for a moment, and felt that the Qi family would definitely not lose money in this business, so he just took advantage of the popularity of the fifteen-year-old case to not hype it up.

"Brother Qi, please speak."

Zhou Bai knows that the general bookstore accepts manuscripts and buys out the system, and it is normal for him to make other requests in this kind of sharing system.

"The requirements are very simple, in the future, your other poems will also have to be sold by my Qi family."

"Of course, the division can be changed to three seven, you only provide the manuscript of the poem, you don't have to worry about the rest, you can get a thirty percent bonus by sitting at home." Qi Hua looked at Zhou Bai seriously and said.

He is gambling, betting that Zhou Bai's future inspiration will not be cut off, and betting that his future fame will be far greater than now.

"Yes, the deal is made, but my Zhou family must also have the right to sell, otherwise the clansmen will have to go to your Qi family's shop to buy the poetry collection, which is too much." Zhou Bai nodded and said the last condition.

Qi Hua naturally agreed, how much share can a small villager have?
