Chapter Twenty-Six: Rules come first

The smoke cage is cold, the moon is long, the sand is long, and the rain flowers are close to the restaurant at night.

I don't know when, the red sun in the distance has gradually come to an end, and a bright moon quietly rises, inadvertently, firmly occupying the most conspicuous position in the night.

Under the moonlight, the well-known leisurely place in Chang'an City, the riverside of the Yuhua River in Pingkangfang is brightly lit, and I don't know how many small boats and painting boats are rippling in it, and the warblers are singing and dancing, creating paradise in the world.

The sound of singing and playing music, after tonight, it doesn't matter if tomorrow's happy laughter, the heroic drinking sound of three or five confidants sitting side by side, all intertwined, together paint the most real picture of this world.

However, at the entrance of the two-storey painting boat, which is sprinkled with osmanthus petals in front and back, and is extremely elegantly decorated, a very unpleasant thing is happening.

Although those who often come to this place where fireworks flourish for fun and pastime are self-proclaimed "true gentlemen" who understand the wind and snow, generally speaking, they will not deliberately cause trouble, but there are often some open and secret fights caused by jealousy, which is normal, but there is no real life lawsuit.

Where there are more women, there will always be no less right and wrong, which is certainly not the fault of women, on the contrary, this is the root of men's inferiority.

The young man surnamed Pei looked at his young age, but between his eyebrows, he was full of flamboyance and domineering, obviously from a noble background, even in Chang'an City, which is full of nobles, he dared to act so arrogantly, which was expected that ordinary people would not dare to touch his moldy head.

He didn't hide it, and scolded Li Qingchen, which was not small, and it attracted many people to look at it at once.

The people of Chang'an like to see this kind of excitement the most, and many people seem to have recognized the two people surnamed Pei on the young man's side, both pointing and pointing at the female companions or friends beside them, introducing each other to those they don't know, obviously, these two people do have a bit of background.

After learning about the situation from others, more people looked at Li Qingchen, who was standing opposite the young man, dressed in a simple green shirt, one by one, either with disdain on his face, or with a trace of sympathy, and couldn't help sighing.

Of course there will be contempt, after all, they have come to this kind of place, even if they are swollen and fat, they have to buy themselves a good outfit to raise money, the so-called Buddha relies on gold, people rely on clothes, if a person even refuses to make his own faΓ§ade, how can he get the respect of others?

It's not a snob, because you could not have come, but since you can't bear the loneliness, you have to be able to afford it, this is called the rules, Chang'an Pingkangfang has been famous for a hundred years, but there are not many people who come in so plainly like Li Qingchen.

Especially when this young man walked, it turned out to be the most expensive area of the Yuhua River in Pingkangfang, which made people even more contemptible, thinking that this kid was really a toad who wanted to eat swan meat, but because the skin looked better, he could even save this kind of money, which was too much to underestimate the girl in their Chang'an City.

Sympathy naturally has sympathy, because many people have already recognized the two people who provoked the trouble, and then looking at Li Qingchen's outfit, they subconsciously felt that this kid was going to be bullied by these two people.

It is human nature to sympathize with the weak, even if it is only a superficial strength.

Li Qingchen secretly said in his heart that he was troublesome, he came to Chang'an from Youzhou thousands of miles away, he had his own plans, at this time, because of this kind of boring stuff, it was indeed a little hateful, if it weren't for the fact that this Qiansan Xiao really had some ability, maybe he could get some information he needed from him, he would never want to come out.

He hated trouble, but trouble found him.

The young man surnamed Pei saw that he didn't speak, thinking that he was afraid, so he was triumphant again, and said like a reward: "Why, look down on me? Forget it, the master doesn't want to break the rules of this Pingkangfang, Wendou or martial arts, you choose one, if the master loses, leave here immediately, and will never trouble you afterwards, this, I use my Pei family's reputation to vouch!"

After saying this, he himself was excited, and secretly said that he was not a bully, on the contrary, this is called a real man, that is, let the beautiful sisters around him see it, and he has to shout for himself in his heart!

The little guy from the osmanthus shop next to him still wanted to persuade him, but Li Qingchen had already walked in by himself, and said coldly: "Why did I choose?

The young man surnamed Pei was still satisfied with the beauty of what he said, but in a blink of an eye, the other party was already walking inside, like that, he was simply ignoring himself, the young man's heart came up, he was furious, raised his hand and grabbed Li Qingchen's shoulder, and shouted at the same time: "Mud legs who don't understand the rules! Get out of here!"

Li Qingchen suddenly heard the strong wind whistling behind him, his brows furrowed slightly, and he was about to dodge, but behind the curtain in front of him, a woman's weak voice suddenly sounded.

"Young Master Pei, the slave family is having a banquet today, and I also ask Young Master Pei to give the slave family a face, don't hurt the harmony, and when Young Master Pei comes over tomorrow, the slave family will personally make amends to Young Master Pei. ”

The face of the young man surnamed Pei changed, the former "good sister" had already been thrown away, and he only felt that the other party could let this kid in, and forced him to leave, since he was a child, few people dared to say a "no" to him, and the pampered young man was on fire in his stomach, and his mouth was naturally extremely polite.

"Ridiculous! Are you just a prostitute, an obscene embryo, and you are worthy to negotiate terms in front of me? I will enter today, if you dare to stop you, I will guarantee that your Osmanthus Workshop will sink to the bottom of this Yuhua River tonight!"

The words, the scolding was ugly, the threat was even more terrifying, and many people were very dissatisfied when they heard it, and there was the bold one who took the lead in boosing, obviously extremely disgusted by the young man's ignorant and domineering behavior, even if he didn't want to cause trouble, but looking at the woman around him who was sentimental because of the same disease, he wanted to cry, and he couldn't help but coax.

Suddenly, on the bank of the Yuhua River, the young man actually aroused the anger of the public.

Nearby, on a large terrace extending out of a splendid and brightly lit luxury pavilion that was almost like a fairy land, someone suddenly shouted: "Pei family boy, since the girls have already said that they have an appointment today, why do you have to work hard again?

The young man surnamed Pei turned his head and looked at the big terrace behind him, but saw a middle-aged man with a mustache, a tough outline, and a red robe lying on his side, even if he was wearing a casual dress, he was still extravagant.

The young man heard that someone dared to teach him a lesson, and was about to be angry, when the guy behind him suddenly stepped forward, gently pulled his sleeve, lowered his head, and whispered a little, the latter's anger gradually subsided, and then looked at the eyes of the middle-aged man, which had changed from simple anger to a little dissatisfaction and jealousy, and the person behind said loudly: "I don't know that you are here, disturbing your Yaxing, it is the two juniors, please forgive me, I will leave." ”

With that, he bowed deeply to the people on the terrace, and his attitude was very respectful, very different from the front and back.

Chang'an is this kind of place, here, unless you are the son of heaven, there will never be a shortage of people more powerful than you to make you bow your head.

The Pei family is one of the four famous families in Chang'an, this young man surnamed Pei is the child of the main family, and his status is very unusual, and the young man who has been standing behind him is from the Gu family, one of the four major families, but even if the two are together, after seeing this middle-aged man, they can only obediently admit defeat.

The man's posture was too lazy to change, and he still said without being salty: "Here, only talk about the wind and snow, there is no status, remember, it is not me who makes you soft, but the rules here, if one day another person is the same as me, you have to retreat." ”

When the young man surnamed Pei heard this, his face suddenly showed murderous intent, obviously very dissatisfied with the other party's move to gain an inch, but he was pulled by the person behind him, and the person was able to bend and stretch, much more generous than him, so he hurriedly continued to salute and shouted: "Students are taught!"

After speaking, he pulled the very angry young man surnamed Pei and left together, Li Qingchen looked at the middle-aged man who lived on the terrace, spoke up righteously, and helped him to relieve the siege, and also respectfully hugged his fists, the middle-aged man smiled slightly, picked up the wine bowl in his hand, and lifted it from afar, which was regarded as a response.

At this time, the woman who had been hiding in the osmanthus workshop and had not landed on the shore, who should have been the owner of the osmanthus workshop, rather than an ordinary maid, shouted softly: "Son, come in with the slave family." ”

Li Qingchen turned around and lifted the curtain generously, but there was a woman standing in front of him, covered with a veil, leaving only a pair of extremely good-looking peach blossom eyes, slightly pink around him, the water light was undulating, and the tenderness was turning, just at such a moment, even Li Qingchen was a little stupid.

This pair of eyes alone is enough to take the hearts and livers of countless men, no wonder the little guy outside said that on this Yuhua River, they can be regarded as the top three paintings, this sentence does not have any elements of boasting.

After looking at each other for a while, the other party took Li Qingchen and walked directly inside, without too many words in between.

As I saw along the way, there was indeed a hole in this small boat, although it was indeed narrower than the house on land, but there was no shortage of things that should be there, and walking on the boat was even more unique, especially Li Qingchen had never been to this kind of place, everything was new to him, of course, he was not in the mood to look at these things now, and he couldn't arouse his interest at all.

When I got to the second floor, there were curtains hanging all around, covering the situation inside, and even a few people couldn't see clearly, except for the occasional wind leaking in, lifting a little, or peeking through the cracks.

There are not many things on the table, a pot of osmanthus Fang's famous osmanthus stuffed, three dishes, a osmanthus drunken chicken, a spring osmanthus stewed fish, a cinnamon lotus root, are all difficult to find elsewhere, the secret recipe is unique to the little lady of the osmanthus fang.

Seeing these three dishes, Li Qingchen's mood finally improved, and then looked at the mysterious man on the opposite side who was still covered with a mask, and suddenly it was much more pleasing to the eye, so he tentatively said: "Brother Qian, if you don't remove the mask, how can you eat this delicacy?"

Wearing a grimace mask and a wide-sleeved robe on the other side, Qiansan's voice is still so chaotic, he can't hear men and women, and he can hear every word clearly, so that people can't understand it, which will take some effort.

"The wine and food on the table are all prepared for Brother Li, if Gongzi thinks that it is too boring to eat alone, Yu Chan, come over and accompany Gongzi quickly. ”
