Volume 1 The Rebirth of the Hidden Dragon Chapter 74 The Hongmen Banquet
Early in the morning, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, 'Jia Rudao', called all members to wait outside the Hongmen Building, because news came from Langya Water Village this morning, saying that Shangguan Wuji wanted to invite everyone from the Langya Chamber of Commerce to dinner.
Jia Rudao knew that Shangguan Wuji had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, so naturally he would not really wait for the Admiral to invite him, and he had already chartered the entire Hongmen Tower in advance.
Now that he suddenly said that he wanted to invite guests to dinner, he must have encountered difficulties, and what the war was about to lack was nothing more than money and food, and these were exactly what they did not lack the most among these jade merchants.
But seeing that it was almost noon, not to mention that the Governor of the Navy Division didn't even wait for a soldier, the jade merchants were all people with heads and faces, and they had already shown their respect for the military by waiting in advance, but they had become a punishment station, how could they stand it.
The jade merchants talked loudly and complained loudly, and Jia Rudao still stood straight and calm, without a trace of anxiety, but in fact, he had already greeted all the ancestors of Shangguan Wuji in his heart.
At this time, a young man appeared on the street, followed by a wheelbarrow carrying two wooden barrels, the son looked at the signboard of Hongmen Tower and then looked at the jade merchants present, and said slowly: "Which one is President Jia Rudao?" ”
Jia Nidao arched his hand and said: "The contemptible person is Jia Nidao, dare to ask the visitor why he is looking for me." ”
Yun Hao skillfully took out the edict and raised it above his head and said loudly: "The great general Yun Hao who was personally sealed by Emperor Izumo is also, didn't he inform you in the morning, why do you still ask." ”
This yellow silk brocade is exclusive to the royal family, and the jade merchants still have eyesight, since the general appointed by the emperor himself has to kowtow to him even if he doesn't kowtow, he has to kowtow to the edict.
Looking at the jade merchants who knelt down one after another, Yun Hao enjoyed it very much, Jia Rudao stood up and replied: "It turns out that this morning is the news from General Yun, it seems that it is a contemptible misunderstanding, General Yun hurry inside, I have prepared the right to drink and eat for the general to catch the wind and wash the dust" After that, he let Yun Hao go to the building.
Yun Hao raised his hand and said, "No need, Benjun has prepared a meal, so you can eat under this corridor." "Anyway, he unloaded the two barrels from the car.
When the jade merchants came up and opened the lid of the barrel, one was filled with coarse grains and the other was filled with pickles.
Yun Hao raised his chin and said, "What, don't you want to give General Ben face?" ”
Jia Rudao immediately picked up a nest and said with a smile: "How dare you, I'm going to be disrespectful." ”
It's not that Jia Yidao is afraid of Yun Hao's identity, but he is afraid of Yun Hao's gangsterism, he has seen a lot of officials in the business world for many years, even if he wants to make a profit, he is still polite, and it is the first time he has seen such arrogance, if he really provokes this kind of person, I am afraid that everyone will not be able to get off the stage.
Seeing this, the rest of the jade merchants also picked up the nest head and took a bite, only to chew it in their mouths and swallow it and rub their throats, for them who are used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, eating the nest head is no different from torture.
"Do you see that little pit on the top of the nest, which is used to stuff pickles?" Of course, Yun Hao is not explaining, but ordering.
The jade merchants had to do as requested, and the pickles were even more salty and bitter, and many jade merchants couldn't bear to spit it out.
Yun Hao walked among them and said lightly: "It's hard to swallow, isn't it, but this is the ration of the soldiers in front, sometimes they may not even be able to eat pickles, and spoiling food is a violation of military law, come on!" ”
With Yun Hao's loud shout, a team of sergeants jumped out of nowhere, and when they went up, they pressed the jade merchant who had vomited just now to the ground, and used a big stick to greet these people's butts.
Jia Rudao looked at it and was secretly surprised: "This is a bastard!" What do you want to do, you just said it, and you didn't say that you didn't cooperate, why did you come up and play the blood sacrifice!! ”
Several jade merchants were beaten to the ground, but the Three Rivers Guild helped the people to grasp the strength of each stick just right, and it hurt but not hurt, which came from the absolute control that had been cultivated over many years of oars.
Seeing this, the rest of the jade merchants didn't dare to spit out even the soil they ate, not only did they not vomit and then went to eat it after eating, but at least they tried to have a good attitude.
Such a commotion on the street suddenly attracted many people to stop and watch, and there are still people in this city who dare to fight jade merchants?!
The movement is too big and disturbs an elegant small building not far away, this building is called 'Gufang Zhai' is a place for literati to talk about literature and scriptures, and there are many scholars from all over the world gathered in the small building, and there are also many sons of families mixed in.
Of course, what attracts these people here is far more than the knowledge in the subset of classics and history, and there may be a golden house in the book, but most of these people are for Yan Ruyu.
At this time, several sons on the small building also poked their heads out to watch, among which there were many children of jade merchants.
"What's going on out there?" A touching voice sounded,
An ordinary question immediately attracted everyone's attention, and it was a young woman sitting on a plain gauze curtain, this girl was elegant and refined, like a holy white lotus, but there was a kind of arrogance that despised all beings.
She is the owner of Gu Fangzhai, and her other identity is more well-known - 'the first talented woman in Cangwu'.
Most of the people who come here are her admirers, some have been following for several years but can only look at the curtain and sigh, the gauze curtain is like a chasm to isolate the mediocre outside, this talented woman only loves to read and rarely communicates with people, unless someone can write a superb article, or have a unique opinion on politics, it is difficult to see her take the initiative to speak.
Now that the talented woman asked, the lively sons immediately explained what happened on the street in a colorful voice, and searched for gorgeous rhetoric to embellish words for the side eyes of the Pomeranians.
After listening to the narration of the crowd, the woman gently raised her jade hand and closed the page in front of her, and said regretfully: "The chaos of mundane things cannot be cleaned for a moment, I just read a good poem and now it is tasteless, but a good book is innocently stained with blood, or it is terrible." ”
Someone immediately answered: "It's not easy for Miss Roy to read good books, and there are a lot of books in the lower mansion, which can be read by the girl at any time." ”
"Just those few broken books in your house are worth a trip to Miss Roy? I asked my subordinates to return to Beijing immediately and pick up the "Shu Di Tour" annotated by Mr. Huang and give it to the girl. A noblely dressed Kyoto prince also stepped forward to offer courtesy, and his hand was written by the contemporary Confucian Huang Tang.
After the previous son was ridiculed, he shot back: "There is no basis for what you say, you can say whatever you want if you haven't seen Huang Lao's true handwritings, but the lone book in this son's family is at your fingertips." ”
At this moment, someone reminded: "Your father is being beaten on the ground, but you have the heart to talk about what a lonely book, if you don't look at it, I'm afraid you'll be an orphan!" ”
