Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Pavilion Tower
Xu Qing and Shangguan Changhong walked slowly on the endless streets, both of them were dragons and phoenixes among people, even if there were people coming and going on the streets, they were difficult to be overwhelmed by the flow of people, like lights in the darkness to attract everyone's attention.
"Haha, cousin, I really have you, I didn't expect Qin Xian to choose you. Walking on the street, Shangguan Changhong joked, but Xu Qing felt that the smile was a little stiff no matter how he looked at it.
"Cousin, do you like Qin Xian?" Xu Qing ignored his cousin's joke and asked seriously.
"Uh, what are you asking for? Qin Xian is very literary and superb, how many people can not like her?"
"Then why didn't my cousin redeem her and marry her home? Could it be that my cousin just coveted her beauty, or did he dislike her low status?" asked Xu Qingqiu.
"I'm not greedy for her beauty, why don't I want to redeem her, but the court clearly stipulates that all the families of criminal ministers who have entered the slave status will not be allowed to leave the slave status for life. Shangguan Changhong sighed, and then said: "If I am alone, no matter what the cost, I will rescue her." It's just that I can't act so recklessly, there is still the Shangguan family behind me, if I go to save her, it will definitely affect my parents and relatives. As he spoke, his fists clenched tightly, and the unwillingness in his eyes was very obvious.
"Cousin, why don't you go for me in the evening?"
"Then you also underestimate your cousin, the person Qin Xian has a crush on is you, what am I going to do? Besides, can you still compete with your cousin for a woman?"
"However, I am bent on pursuing the pinnacle of martial arts, and I don't want to talk about my children's personal affairs for the time being! If, I mean, if, I am sure that I can rescue Qin Xian, do you think I should save it?"
"Save, of course you have to save, but are you really sure?"
"Cousin, you're really unkind, in order to save your sweetheart, you actually asked me to break the law, it's not impossible to save her, it's just that she has no relationship with me and has no reason, it seems that there is no reason?"
"The great man of chivalry is for the country and the people, Marshal Luo has been upright all his life, in the past years, he has been on the battlefield many times, and has saved the people in fire and water many times, you can't bear to cry blood and sad songs like this, and there is still no rest under the nine springs?"
"However, I never think of myself as a hero, whoever loves to be a hero should go, my principle is that people don't offend me, I don't offend people..."
"My good cousin, just beg your cousin, you can save Qinxian!"
"Well, the woman my cousin likes, how can I stand by and watch, by the way, I rushed to your house early this morning, and I didn't eat lunch, let's find a place to eat something first, and I will have the strength to save people at night, don't you say?" Xu Qing said with a smile.
"I'll take you to a good place to eat, not many people know about that place. After Shangguan Changhong finished speaking, he led Xu Qing through some small alleys, and finally led Xu Qing to a small restaurant.
The small restaurant is called Cuiting Building, the restaurant is not big, it also looks a little old, the words on the plaque have been a little blurred, I want to come to this restaurant has a history.
"Cousin, don't look at this restaurant as inconspicuous, but the dishes made in this restaurant are unique, with a history of more than 100 years, and many sons and brothers in the capital who like food are full of praise for the dishes here. Shangguan Changhong was afraid that Xu Qing would not be satisfied, so he introduced him.
"Xiao Er, is there any empty seat upstairs?" the two walked into the restaurant together, and Shangguan Changhong asked a Xiao Er who came to greet him.
"Shangguan Gongzi, you haven't been here for a long time, there happens to be an empty seat upstairs, you two upstairs, please." After Xiao Er finished speaking, he led the two upstairs.
The upstairs was not very large, only two tables, one of which already had an old man about sixty years old, who had not looked at them all the time. After Xu Qing and the others sat down at another table, Xu Shangguan Changhong said to Xiao Er:
"Braised lion's head, steamed carp these two signs are naturally indispensable, and then two good daughters on the altar, and some vegetarian dishes. Shangguan Changhong instructed Xiao Er.
After Xiao Er left, Xu Qing said with a smile: "Cousin, aren't you afraid that I will get drunk and delay saving your sweetheart?"
"By the way, I almost forgot about it, you can't drink today, but don't delay business. ”
"Cousin, do you recognize Qin Xian as your sweetheart?" Xu Qing said with a grin.
"Don't talk nonsense, when did I admit it, it was your cousin's chivalrous tenderness, and when you saw injustice, you pulled out a knife to help. Shangguan Changhong quibbled, but his face was a little ruddy, and anyone could see that his words were wrong.
"I just said, I don't want to be a hero, I practice martial arts to protect my relatives from harm, just now I misunderstood that she is your sweetheart, if it weren't for my cousin's sweetheart... , hey, it's a pity that such a beautiful woman. Xu Qing said.
"Okay, I'll admit that she's my sweetheart!" In the face of Xu Qing's difficulties, Shangguan Changhong could only give in.
Xu Qing is secretly proud in his heart now, he has been rectified by his cousin before, but now he looks at his cousin's deflated appearance, and his heart is really comfortable.
"Yu Rong, this restaurant is second to none in the capital, and the dishes you will eat here will ensure that you are convinced. A pair of young men and women walked into the restaurant, and the man smiled, followed by two men in strong suits, obviously with good skills.
"Really? I don't believe it, if it's really as good as you say, how can this restaurant be so broken?and, there are so many people down there, do you want me to eat with these untouchables?" said the woman, her voice crisp but full of pride in her bones.
Many people sitting downstairs heard the woman's words, and their faces were angry, but when they saw the two people behind her, they endured it, but they still glared at the woman who spoke.
"There's a private seat upstairs, we can go upstairs, Xiao Er won't lead the way!" the young man commanded Xiao Er.
"It's... Qin Gongzi, you see, if you just make do with it below, the upstairs is already full, I'm really sorry for you. "Xiao Er is quite embarrassed, Qin Gongzi's identity is not ordinary, and the backstage of this restaurant is not small, and he has always acted according to the rules, but Xiao Er doesn't want to make this Qin Gongzi angry.
"Cousin Qin, it seems that these people don't give you face very much!" The woman next to her chuckled, with a joke in her words, looking like she was watching a good show.
The man surnamed Qin listened to the woman's words, his face was also a little ugly, and he snorted: "You take this son up!"
"Qin Gongzi, why do you have to be embarrassed, you also know the rules here, it's not good..."Xiao Er's face was full of embarrassment, and he said with a bitter face.
"Hmph, don't talk nonsense, my son knows the rules here, I'll pay double the money as compensation, I don't believe who upstairs dares to be so uninteresting and not give up his seat to my son?"
Xiao Er still had something to say, but the son surnamed Qin had already gone upstairs, and he hurriedly followed up to see the situation, if something happened, he couldn't afford it.
