Chapter 349: Strange Guest
Hua Bushi changed his words and said: "Xiao Ke plans to set up a big banquet in the lobby of this hotel three days later, that is, on the tenth day of the second month, and invite the heads of various businesses in the city to come to eat and drink, I don't know if your hotel is convenient?"
At this time, it is the off-season, there is a big storm on the sea, there are no ships docking, the whole "Yuelai Hotel" except for Hua Bushi four people, there is no guest at all.
But at this time, his face showed embarrassment, and said: "Young Master Hua, don't look at the faΓ§ade of the small shop is so big, in fact, it is also a small profit, although the green jade wrench finger last time can be worth eight hundred silver dollars, you can deduct the expenses of your stay in the hotel for the past few days, if you want to set up a big banquet again, you have to invite all the merchants in the city, I'm afraid it is not enough, this ......"
Hua Bushi smiled and said, "Don't worry about the silver two, Xiao Ke can pay it off in advance tomorrow." It's just that this banquet must be set up at a certain level, and the pomp and circumstance must be indispensable, can your restaurant be able to do it?"
Hearing that silver is not a problem, Shopkeeper Sun immediately smiled and said, "Young Master Hua is holding a banquet in our Yuelai Hotel, but you have chosen the right one! Don't look at the small shop, the cost is not much, the faΓ§ade decoration is first-class, there is no second one in this city can compare! But I don't know how many tables and banquets Young Master Hua will set up?"
Hua Bushi thought for a while and said, "Let's prepare according to the thirty tables first, the dishes and drinks must be of the highest quality." β
Shopkeeper Sun seemed to have seen the silver dollars flowing into his pocket, and said happily: "No problem, no problem! A table is calculated according to eighty silver dollars, and thirty tables are two thousand four hundred silver dollars, which is one thousand and fifty taels of silver, and the fifty taels will be erased, and Young Master Hua only needs to pay a thousand taels of silver." β
Hua Bushi said: "The silver will not be missing you." I don't know if there is a haode big red paper in your store, I want to write some invitations and send them out. β
Shopkeeper Sun said: "Yes, yes, Xiao Lao'er has everything in this store, I will go and prepare it for Young Master Hua immediately, even if this paper is given away by a small store, I will not accept Young Master Hua's money!"
This shopkeeper Sun is obsessed with money, and now he has money to earn, as if he is suddenly twenty years younger, and his feet are much lighter, and he retreats on tiptoe with a smile.
Seeing that Shopkeeper Sun left happily, Hai Hongzhu looked at Hua Bushi again, but saw that he was looking at Baoliang, the big dog in the wooden cage, with a leisurely expression. The eldest young master didn't seem to be worried at all, all his property had been bought for this big dog, and now his pockets were empty and penniless, so how would he pay the hotel shopkeeper a thousand taels of silver tomorrow.
β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β» the next day, it was still raining.
In such weather, it seems that the sky is very late, and the hour has passed, and the window is still gray and dark.
To make money, just let Hua Bushi and Cao Duyun worry about it, Hai Hongzhu can't take care of it, and there is nothing to do anyway, so she is simply lazy in bed and doesn't get up.
But at this time, there were a few knocks on the door at an inopportune time, and I only heard Hua Bushi's voice outside the door asking, "Is the Hongzhu lady getting up?"
This eldest young master didn't hurry up to try to raise silver taels, but what did he come to her to do at this time? Hai Hongzhu was unhappy, but she had to get up and get out of bed, walk to the door and pull the door.
Hua Bushi came in, glanced at Hai Hongzhu, and said, "Lady, quickly get dressed, freshen up, and a guest will come to the hotel later, you have to meet him with me." β
After listening to Hua Bushi's words, Hai Hongzhu noticed that she was only wearing an underwear on her body, the thin silk obscene clothes were almost transparent, and her legs were almost completely exposed, and her pretty face immediately turned red.
Although Hai Hongzhu and this eldest young master are married, they only have the name of husband and wife. On the wedding night of Wuyang City, Hai Hongzhu also used to lie in the same bed with Hua Bushi, but at that time she was drugged and couldn't move, so she had no choice, but now this situation is extremely embarrassing, and Hai Hongzhu's two hands don't know where to put them.
Fortunately, Hua Bushi also seemed to have come to his senses and said, "Lady, let's change your clothes and freshen up, I'll wait for you in the front hall of the inn." β
He then turned and walked out of the room and went to the front yard.
After a while, Hai Hongzhu's mood calmed down, and the red tide on her face gradually faded.
She hurriedly changed her dress, sat in front of the bronze mirror and combed her hair, but what she thought was that the young master didn't seem to look at herself much in the situation just now, which made her feel a strange sense of loss.
I don't know what important guests the eldest young master came to wake her up early in the morning?
Out of the room, walking to the hotel lobby in the front yard, Hai Hongzhu saw Hua Bushi sitting at a table, holding a cup and drinking tea, and the lobby was as empty as yesterday, only Xiao Qian'er was behind the counter.
Hai Hongzhu walked to Hua Bushi's side, still thinking about what had just happened in her heart, and a touch of red appeared on her cheeks. Hua Bushi looked calm, didn't seem to care at all, pointed to the chair on the side, and said, "Lady, please take a seat." β
Sitting down on the chair, Hai Hongzhu asked, "Where's Twilight Prince?"
Hua Bushi said: "Cao Gongzi has already left Okura City early in the morning and went to Moli Village, and he will come back tomorrow." It's rare for a lady to care so much about him. β
In fact, Hai Hongzhu asked Cao Duyun, not because she cared much about him, but because she felt that the atmosphere between the two was awkward, she casually asked about the topic. After a pause, she asked, "Hasn't that guest you said come yet?"
Hua Bushi smiled and said, "If you want to say that it is important, it is also a little important. β
Hai Hongzhu said: "Then after he comes, should I do anything?"
Hua Bushi turned his face to look at Hai Hongzhu, suddenly smiled again, and said, "No." All you have to do is sit in a chair and let him see you, and you don't have to say anything, you don't have to do anything. β
Hai Hongzhu promised: "Oh. β
In her heart, she thought that the guest was really strange, and he wanted to come to see her, but he didn't say or do anything, and he didn't know what the character was, and the eldest young master didn't know what the hell he was doing.
It didn't take long for strange guests to arrive.
He was about forty years old, dressed in a shiny black silk coat and a snuffbox, and was of good looks, with two mustaches on his mouth and a hook-like nose that made people feel a little gloomy. And behind this man, there were also two sturdy men, both of whom were dressed in short combat suits, with palm-wide straps tied around their waists, and they looked like thugs.
As soon as Hua Bushi saw someone entering the door, he immediately got up and arched his hand and said, "Master Luo, please come and sit here, Master Luo made a special trip, but I am really tired!"
The middle-aged man who was called Master Luo also returned the courtesy: "Young Master Hua is polite, for Fan Da's affairs, where does Luo dare to say that he is affected." β
He staggered over, but his eyes looked at the sea red beads on the side.
If it is the normal etiquette of the time, and a guest comes, Hai Hongzhu should get up and salute and say that it is all right. However, Hai Hongzhu was born in the countryside, where do she know what etiquette is, and Hua Bushi said before that she just needs to sit still. So Hai Hongzhu didn't get up, just sat at the table and didn't move, and only felt that Master Luo's pair of mung bean eyes looked at his body, which was very annoying.
Hua Bushi, who could only hear it on the side, said: "Master Luo, please sit down and use tea!"
Xiao Qian'er was very obedient and immediately brought the tea tray over. Master Na Luo sat down on the chair across the table, reached out and took the teacup, but his eyes were still staring at Hai Hongzhu, and said, "Is this Mrs. Hua?"
Hua Bushi said: "Yes, she is the inner sea red pearl below." β
Master Luo nodded and said, "Okay, good, very good." He shook his head, but he didn't know what to do.
Hua Bushi said: "Master Luo has seen Hua Bushi and his wife now, what he said yesterday, there should be no problem, right?"
Master Luo finally took his eyes back from Hai Hongzhu's body at this time, and said, "That's just a small amount, Fan Da has already agreed, so there is no problem." β
Hua Bushi said: "That's good, I want to get it now, is it convenient?"
Master Luo said: "Of course you can, if Young Master Hua is free, let's go!"
Immediately, the two of them stood up from the table together.
Hua Bushi said, "Please!" The two left the table one after the other and walked to the door, and the two thugs who came together also followed behind, urging Master Luo and the eldest young master to go out of the door of the inn.
This strange guest came for only a while, his butt was still hot on the chair, and the cup of tea was not finished, so he left with Hua Bushi, but it was a little inexplicable for Hai Hongzhu. And their conversation also made her fall into a cloud, completely unaware of why.
Xiao Qian'er came over to clean up the teacup, but suddenly came to Hai Hongzhu's ear and whispered, "Mrs. Hua, do you know what that Master Luo does?"
Hai Hongzhu shook her head blankly and asked, "What did he do?"
Xiao Qian'er said: "His name is Luo Gan, and he is the dog-headed military advisor under the 'Bright Moon Society' Boss He, and the people in the city call him 'Broken Root', and many people simply call him 'Broken Root'." β
Hai Hongzhu was even more confused, and said, "Who is Boss He of the 'Bright Moon Society', how can Master Luo have such an ugly nickname?"
Xiao Qian'er said: "'Mingyue Club', it is the biggest gang in this big warehouse city, Boss He is the gang leader He Xilou, most of the casinos and green buildings in this city are opened by him!
Everywhere, there are bad guys and bullies, and the He Xilou and the gang of "Broken Door Roots" of the "Bright Moon Society" are probably the bullies in this Okura City.
