Nan'an Lane, north of Xingqing Mansion, Zuru Mansion, the deputy privy envoy Yeli Wangrong was reading the military newspaper in the study, and when he was hesitant about something, he raised his eyes and stared out the window, falling into deep thought. When he was carefully weighing, he saw a figure flash out of the moon gate, sneaking out of the door along the root of the wall, and immediately his face sank, and he shouted: "Rabbit cub, come back to me!"
The figure was shocked, turned slowly, lowered his head and entered the study, and stood in the room with his head down.
Yeli Wangrong said in a deep voice: "Where are you going?"
It was the eldest son Yeli Huaide who was called back by Yeli Wangrong, he accepted the invitation of a friend, and was going to sneak out of the house to go to the meeting, but he didn't expect to be discovered by his father, and he was annoyed at the moment, and he knew that this was the case, so he was a little troublesome to go out of the back door, in order to save two steps, but he was caught by his father, and it seems that he can't get out today.
"My son picked up a post and was going to go to Lake Jinbo...... Well, the ...... of the Kimpo Lake Association"
Without waiting for Huaide to finish explaining, Yeli Wangrong shouted: "You don't have a proper shape all day long, you know how to eat, drink and have fun, you are like this, where do you look like you are about to take charge of the army? When you go to the Privy Council next month to investigate, I'm afraid you won't lose my old face?"
Yeli Huaide muttered: "Step down immediately, bows, arrows, knives and guns, I ask myself if I am not afraid." β
Yeli Wangrong slapped the table and said angrily: "You are a military general who wants to be the commander, and if you only have a force of martial arts, you are a barbarian, how can you lead a good soldier? A commander of 5,000 people, who is not familiar with military books and war strategies, will kill people when fighting! Don't think that your second uncle will be able to protect you for the rest of your life if he is in charge of the Xiangyou Supervision Military Division. The Xiangyou Supervision Military Division is Shizhou, not the mainland, it is the border control theater......"
Yeli Huaide protested: "This command has made me earn it by fighting hard and earning it, not the second uncle's care! Father, you go and inquire, and the brothers will obey me!"
Ye Li Wangrong said angrily: "Is this commander given by the imperial court or by your group of big-headed soldiers? They serve you as a fart! I can tell you that the Privy Council has to test the art of war when he grinds the survey." Don't come to me when the time comes! If you can't get through the investigation, your second uncle's recommendation will not be good, so go back to the third commander obediently, or be honest when you are going to catch a living!"
Yeli Huaide was helpless, so he had to say: "I know, I'll go back to reading." He blocked his breath and said: "It's hard to come back, and it's not okay to see your friends." Then father, you can find someone to help me get back to Gao Dalang, just say that you don't allow me to go out. β
Yeli Wangrong blinked and asked, "Which Gao Dalang?
Yeli Wilde said angrily, "Who else?" he sent me a post. Please ask me to go to the place where the restaurant will be in Lake Kinpo......"
Yeli Wangrong thought about it for a while, and then asked, "Where is Gao Dalang on business now?"
Yeli Huaide said: "Yiwei Sima Jun left guard, coach envoy." Hey, he's not as good as me at this point. β
Yeli Wangrong glared: "You are arrogant, they are forbidden troops, and besides, you have not become a commander yet......!" It's not easy for you to come back, so I'll let you go this time. β
Yeli Huaide was stunned: "Really?"
Yeli Wangrong said: "Make more friends with such friends, and less friends with those fox friends!" You go back and ask him if he wants to be the commander of the left guardβjust say what you mean. Don't rub me, if you want, ask the adults to send me a message...... Gao Huaien has been busy with political affairs since he became the governor of Kaifeng Mansion, and he has less movement with our family, so it is time to find time to get together. β
Yeli Huaide immediately exploded: "Why are you willing to contribute when Gao Dalang is the commander, and I, the commander, have to fight with a knife and a gun? Father, you are unfair! Dare to love me not your own son!"
Yeli Wangrong shouted: "What nonsense, hurry up!" Seeing that Yeli Huaide was still angry. picked up the inkstone and was about to smash it, Yeli Huaide immediately rushed out, and fled in a blink of an eye.
Out of the gate of the Zuru Mansion, a slave had already led the white jade lion skull, and the horse was covered in snow. It is a good horse sold by a big food merchant in the extreme west, and Yeli Huaide paid a full three hundred taels of silver for it, and he has been with him for the past two years. With his left hand, he jumped on the back of the horse, jumped up, and walked on the horse, all the way through the streets, and came to Yuehe Lane in half an hour.
Walking along the Moon River Alley, I came to the door of a large mansion, and a young man in a black suit stepped forward to take the reins of the horse.
Yeli Huaide raised his eyes and saw an acquaintance waiting under the steps in front of the door, but it was Liang Xingxia, who he hadn't seen for many years, and couldn't help laughing: "I said that this house is familiar, it turned out to be your family." β
Liang Xingxia also smiled: "Little Hou Ye still remembers, the last time I came, it was about ten years ago, right?"
Yeli Huaide said: "Why don't you remember? I was still young at that time...... By the way, Lao Liang, although I haven't seen him for many years, he won't be like this, what is it called 'Little Hou Ye', just call me Da Lang. How are you doing, and in which yamen do you work?"
Liang Xingxia sighed: "After my father passed away, I had no way to enter the government, so I could only do some business to supplement my family. β
Yeli Huaide looked at the plaque hanging on the gate, which read "Jinbo Club", and couldn't help but say, "Why is it a club? What does this mean? Shouldn't it be a club?"
Liang Xingxia said with a smile: "Don't be serious about this, the club is a high-end hall, there is no difference, let's go, let's go in, Gao Dalang has arrived." β
Yeli Huaide followed Liang Xingxia into the gate, in front of him was a big photo wall, around a look, after seeing this light wall, a big stage was built, the three rows of houses around the main courtyard were all open, full of all kinds of goods, I couldn't help but be curious: "Old Liang, what the hell are you doing?"
Liang Xingxia said: "You'll know when you go back to Dalang, go and see Gao Dalang first, he can talk to you for a long time." β
Several rows of tables and chairs have been set up around the stage, small tables with delicate fruits and cakes, and some young women in long dresses are shuttling between the tables and chairs, constantly pouring tea for the guests who have arrived. These women's long skirts are tight-fitting and concave, which makes Yeli Huaide keep looking at them and feel very interested.
Gao Yanei and Zhao Ran greeted him, and when they met, they punched Yeli Huaide in the chest, and laughed: "Your kid went to Shizhou, and he stayed for three years, but now it is a lot darker, but his body is also much stronger." β
Yeli Huaide sighed: "The border wind and sand, it's really not easy to survive, I really envy you gang of forbidden soldiers." β
Gao Yanei pulled Zhao Ran and introduced to him: "I will introduce you to a good friend, Cheng An, the owner of Cheng Kee Shop, who came from Daming, today he is the east, go back and have a good drink, don't get drunk and don't return!"
Zhao Ran arched his hand: "Please also ask the little marquis to take care of it." β
Yeli Huaide was slightly curious, and he didn't know how this merchant from Daming had climbed into the Gao family, so he hugged his fists and returned the salute: "It's easy to say." He didn't want to ask much at this time, so he sat down with Gao Yanei and Zhao Ran.
While drinking tea and eating fruits, while chatting, some guests came one after another, mainly by Liang Xingxia to receive them, only occasionally when a few people arrived, Gao Ya Nei would come forward to introduce. Most of these people who came knew each other well, and after meeting each other, they could not fail to say a few words of greeting, and after sitting down, they all began to talk to each other about the situation, and even Yeli Huaide was pulled aside by several generals to laugh and scold, and the Xuanchang gradually became lively.
The guests who came included generals of the forbidden army, officers from other towns, children of nobles, officials and dignitaries, and wealthy businessmen. Originally, I only planned to invite fifty guests for the first opening, but there were seventy or eighty of them. These people usually rarely get together, and such a lively scene today is even rarer, because the chat is extremely enthusiastic, and Zhao Ran is also quite busy entertaining, so he has to postpone the time of the goods auction for half an hour.
Seeing that it could not be delayed any longer, Zhao Ran took a wine glass and climbed on the high platform, briefly said the origin and purpose of his construction of the "Jinbo Club", and then arched his hand to the surroundings and said: "I am from the Ming Dynasty, and now I am starting a business in Xingqing Mansion, and I hope that this Jinbo Club can build a platform for you to communicate, and I hope that you can take this place as your home in the future and often come and walk around." β
Someone shouted under the stage: "Don't worry, become the owner, you are a guest when you come to Xingqing, we Xia people are the most hospitable, if there are any difficulties, just say a word." β
Someone else shouted: "You have been talking for a long time, is this going to be a restaurant or a shop?"
is even more humane: "Cheng Dongjia, hurry up and start, if there is something good to show, your silver is indispensable!"
Zhao Ran nodded, then raised his glass and said: "Today's Jinbo Club opens, I wish you good luck, Cheng toasts to you, come, do it first!" (to be continued......) u
