Chapter 102: Differential Treatment
Jiangnan is big, one or two provinces are as big, and Qizhou is ten times as big as Jiangnan, so how big is the north of Qizhou, which also belongs to Qizhou.
Perhaps you can imagine looking at the big city in front of you, which is surrounded by high walls.
"Wow, finally to the north, often hear people in the door say that this north is the most prosperous of the five places in Qizhou, it is not an exaggeration to be the center of Qizhou, there has been no chance, I can't imagine that today has finally arrived, gone, gone, let's go in and have a look." Qin Ningshuang was already a little impatient when she looked in the direction of the city gate.
"Yes, it's been more than ten days, and I finally don't have to live in the wild anymore. The listless Lu Yu said the same.
The wide city gate, the pedestrians in and out are endless, it is worthy of being the most prosperous place in Qizhou, and even this remote city is so busy.
The four of them came to the city gate and waited in line to pass, but they stopped, and as for the reason, it was very simple.
"200 Wen for one person, thank you for paying it yourself!"
Lu Yu's face darkened, he actually felt that this river and lake was too difficult, and it was very bad, he had met a group of self-singing and self-acting toll collectors before, and this would really be touched by him.
"Hey, why don't you give it over there. ”
There are a total of three doors at the main gate of Xuyang City, the middle is the main gate, and the two sides are the secondary gates, Lu Yu just wanted to give money, but saw that the door next to him clearly had a large group of people entering, but he didn't receive a penny.
"Over there, there are people from all over Qizhou who have received invitations, so you don't have to pay, don't you see the words written on it. The guard said with a look of disdain.
When Lu Yu looked at it, sure enough, there was a big sign erected in front of the door, which read: Foreign organizations or individuals who are invited or participate in the state martial arts meeting are invited to enter from this side.
"Lin Yifan, you can't read. ”
"No, boss, I swear there was absolutely no sign in that place just now, it must have just been put up. Sure enough, just a moment after Lin Yifan finished speaking, the sign fell down again.
The two looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
In front of the sub-gate, "Those who are invited, please show the invitation letter, and then go this way, and the others will register here and go that way." ”
"Where does this one on the left lead?"
"Well, this beautiful young lady, this side leads to the resting place we have prepared for some guests from afar, and we have everything you need to eat, stay and have fun. As soon as he saw Qin Ningshuang's appearance, the originally listless person in charge suddenly had his eyes lit up.
"Is there still a place to play, great, let's go, let's go, hurry!" Qin Ningshuang began to urge.
In fact, Lu Yu had already put the invitation in front of the other party's eyes, but because the other party glanced at him at the beginning and didn't care about him, then Qin Ningshuang opened his mouth to let the other party take the invitation in his hand.
"Hey, Kyushu Chamber of Commerce!" I didn't expect it to be okay if I didn't look at it, but it startled the person in charge when I saw it.
"I don't want a few people to be invited by the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce, there were many rudeness before, and I invite you Haihan, come here, don't you take a few people down to rest!" After the order, he didn't forget to say to a few people again: "A few people go slowly, just tell him something." ”
Lu Yu saw that the other party's expression had become so fast, and couldn't help but ask Xiao Si beside him, "Is this Kyushu Chamber of Commerce very powerful!"
"Don't you know!" This time, this Xiao Si was a little surprised, and after confirming it several times, he found that the other party really didn't know, Xiao Si continued: "Actually, the normal food, housing and transportation of all the invitees in the north during the Qizhou Martial Arts Conference are sponsored by the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce, and a few people who can be personally invited by the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce must not be ordinary people in comparison." ”
"Oh~, this is a businessman's friend sent it, I didn't know that this invitation was so useful. Although Lu Yu said it easily, he was extremely happy in his heart, and it seemed that he didn't need to spend any more money this time.
"Hey, let's take us to the place to play first. ”
Xiao Si was about to turn around, but he was a little embarrassed and stunned.
"What's the matter, what are the rules of this place to play, we can't go?" Qin Ningshuang looked at Xiao Si's expression and was very puzzled.
Xiao Si smiled embarrassedly, "Not really, it's just that those places to play are not suitable for young ladies to go!"
When Lu Yu heard this, he immediately looked at Lin Yifan and smiled, and even Ye Yuncheng was a little yearning.
"What are you laughing at, saying, why am I not fit to go? ”
Lu Yu smiled mysteriously and said, "You really want to know?"
Qin Ningshuang, who was curious about the baby, nodded hurriedly.
"You said that there is a place where a group of big men greet you, and it is inconvenient for us to go. After Lu Yu finished speaking, he said to Xiao Si, "Take us to a resting place, the food there is also free." ”
"Yes, you are a distinguished guest of the Kyushu Business Alliance, as long as you show the invitation, almost all the towns in this northbound territory are free to eat, drink and be merry. Xiao Si's attitude towards Lu Yu was very respectful.
Qin Ningshuang, who was stunned, looked at the few people who walked away, and finally his face changed, and he shouted loudly: "Hooligans, stinky and shameless, if you dare to go, I will tell my father that you are light on me!"
Lu Yu's originally happy face suddenly collapsed, and he felt that there was no fun in his future life, "No, this Qizhou meeting will have to send her back in the future, otherwise you won't be able to do anything." ”
It didn't take long for the group to finally arrive at the place under the leadership of Xiao Si.
"A few of you are here in an area specially designated for distinguished guests, most of the people here are invited, ordinary people are not allowed to enter this area, of course, you can also choose to go out!"
"The place has arrived, don't you have to go back to work. ”
"There are too many subordinates like me to count in Rising Sun City, so as long as a few people are here, I will temporarily become the exclusive subordinate of a few distinguished guests. Xiao Si bowed his head and said.
When Lu Yu heard it, this service was even more thoughtful than that of his time, and it was really rich that could make ghosts grind, and the strength of the Kyushu Business Alliance could be seen from then on.
It's just that in this case, it stands to reason that Li Yan doesn't need to set up those fake identities and fake experiences, I don't understand, but Lu Yu knows that in short, this martial arts meeting is probably more complicated than he thought before.
"Let's settle us down first!"
More than ten days of non-stop travel, has already been much faster than the original plan, finally there is a place to rest and do not need to pay for it himself, Lu Yu hopes to rest for a few days before leaving, so as to understand the customs of the north.
"Okay, please come with me. Xiao Si led a few people and walked straight forward, until they reached a restaurant that looked very imposing at first glance.
"This is Xiaoxiang Restaurant, the best restaurant in Xuyang City, with all kinds of food and lodging. After Xiao Si introduced, he took a few people into the inner middle school.
"Boss Zhang, four upper rooms!" Xiao Si is not as ordinary as he claims.
The shopkeeper, who was dressed very elegantly at first glance, actually came out to greet Xiao Si with a smile on his face, "Yo, it's Brother Huo'er, what's the matter, there are distinguished guests today, but you also know, recently because of the martial arts association, I have no place here, let alone the upper room, even the ordinary rooms are full." ”
Xiao Si, who was called Huo'er, directly pulled the shopkeeper to the side, bowed his head and said: "Shopkeeper, I don't know you yet, these are the distinguished guests of the Kyushu Business Alliance, don't stay in your upper room." ”
"Seriously!" the shopkeeper was a little uncertain.
"Heh, when did my brother Huo'er deceive someone, don't let people wait for a long time. Brother Huo'er pointed to Lu Yu and the others, who seemed to be a little impatient.
"But there are only two left, so what can I do? The shopkeeper obviously believed it, but he hesitated a little when he took out the two keys.
I don't want Brother Huo'er to grab the key, "Enough, those few don't seem to be stingy people." ”
"Hey, there are two more, one for the lady and the young master, one for the two of us, just right!"
Seeing Brother Huo'er coming back happily, Lu Yu really wanted to ask, where was it just right.
"Ah, there are only two rooms, wouldn't it be inconvenient!" Qin Ningshuang looked at Lu Yu with a flushed face, in fact, she was not very disgusted, anyway, she had the experience of living in the same room a few times, although she had never done anything.
No, Lu Yu was still thinking about disagreeing, but a dissatisfied voice immediately resounded throughout the street.
"What's the matter, didn't you say that there was no room anymore, why did they come and have it!"
