Chapter 128: The Glory of the Deceased(1/2)
The people of Shu are happy, and are in the southwest, away from war, and even in the most turbulent era, they have not suffered much war.
In the past decade, there has been an untroubled royal family and a wise prime minister, and the entire Shu Kingdom is filled with a beautiful state of mind.
Such tranquility, peace, leisure and wealth naturally attracted many foreigners to visit here and even take root.
Look, another inn has been opened on Hesheng Street outside Luojia Lane.
The short and strong boss agilely pulled off the red cloth from the new signboard, and the four big words "Qingshui Inn" are eye-catching and festive.
Plant the wine flag and lit a string of firecrackers.
The joyful smoke had not yet dissipated, and the air was filled with the smell of black fire. The children were already running around the ground, picking up those firecrackers that had not burned out.
Neighbors and neighbors also came to pay their respects, and those who had no money supported the individual, while those who had money supported the money.
In addition, some customers with fresh pictures filled the lobby on the first floor of the inn one after another.
Shao Lingzhi leaned against the counter, smiling.
Brother Ling Xun did not say anything. On the day he met the leader of the Cen gang, an old man came to find him and the other two.
Before, I was nervous about whether there would be many problems with dependents. Unexpectedly, the old man was not arrogant at all, but instead asked his thoughts in detail.
At that time, I replied subconsciously, it depends on what I can do.
The old man laughed and said a very domineering thing, "In this Jincheng, as long as it is not harmful to the world, just say what you want to do, don't worry about whether you can do it or not. If you can't do it, just find someone who can help."
In the end, I decided to start my old business that I had been working for more than ten years and open an inn.
The old man said nothing, nodded and asked if he had a good position to choose?
After looking at himself and shook his head, the old man kindly said that it was up to him to decide?
After receiving his affirmative answer, the old man asked himself and Zhang Dean to stay at peace first. The new inn could be opened in three days at the latest. He would arrange the first batch of people. If he felt that it was not good later, he would change it himself without any worries.
All this made the originally anxious self and Zhang Dean even more frightened. The two who worked hard to make a living all year round understood a truth early. There was no free lunch in the world, and no one would treat themselves well for no reason.
After he mustered up the courage to ask this question, the old man suddenly fell silent and smiled again, "Because you were introduced by Ling Xun, just by the few letters in your hands, it is much more than these."
But what the two of them didn't know was that when Wen Wei left, he never said the sentence that he wanted to say even more. The past is gone, so why bother me?
"Girl, this is what you deserve."
As Lian Xiao’s widow, we have already done nothing well for you for so many years. What is this?
"Oh! The boss lady is so beautiful!"
A sound of teasing and laughing pulled Shao Lingzhi back from her thoughts. What caught her eye was a young man wearing a white silk shirt and a folding fan, standing in front of the counter, smiling at herself.
Seeing this man's body being hollowed out by wine, Shao Lingzhi frowned slightly. There were so many people coming and going, but no one really took the initiative to tease him, what is the origin of this man?
Zhang De'an walked up quickly, blocked the counter, blocking the man's gaze from looking at Shao Lingzhi, clasped his fists and said in a deep voice: "Friend, my store is open today. If you come, please take a seat. Have a few glasses of wine, Lao Zhang invites you."
The young man closed the fan, slapped his hand, and asked with a smile: "What are you?"
As the eldest son of the head of the Zhenjianglou family, not only has a huge wealth, but the relationship between the imperial court is quite large. Even the matter of such a big deal that the Minister of Personnel died next to the Zhenjianglou more than a year ago was not shaken.
You are nothing if you run such a small broken inn.
If I hadn't happened to see such a beautiful woman of the most wonderful age standing at the counter, Chen Yueming, Grand Master Shen would not even have the idea of stepping into this broken place.
Chen Yueming looked at Shao Lingzhi's face, looked up and down, and a burst of passion surged in his heart.
He took out a handful of golden leaves from his arms and put them on the counter, "Sister, let's meet me?"
Shao Lingzhi has cold face and frost, "Please respect yourself, please."
Chen Yueming smiled, oh, he has a big appetite, it’s okay, I have nothing, I just have money.
He added another handful and looked at Shao Lingzhi with a sure win.
Zhang Dean was about to take a step forward, but was held down by a Shen Yueming's follower.
The strong and powerful Zhang Dean couldn't break free, and it was obvious that this sermon was not an ordinary person either.
"Chen Yueming, you will regret your actions today!"
When Shao Lingzhi and Zhang De'an saw the person walking in quickly, they breathed a sigh of relief.
When Chen Yueming turned his head and saw Cen Wuxin's face, his heart skipped a beat. How could he not know that Cen Wuxin, the famous officials and nobles in the Zhengjiang Tower gathered. This name has been mentioned a lot in the past year.
Forget it, bear it!
The people from the merchant family naturally do not lack this ability to swallow their anger. He smiled embarrassedly, "It turned out to be the place where the leader Cen Gang was taken care of, and Yueming disturbed him."
After that, I was about to walk out.
Cen Wuxin moved a lightly, blocking Chen Yueming's way.
Chen Yueming looked up suddenly, "Gang Cen, my Shen family is not a vegetarian, so I have to fight to the death?"
"What are you?" Cen Wuxin's expressionless face.
"Cen Wuxin! Stay at the forefront of your life and meet again in the future." Chen Yueming couldn't help but increase his voice, and the originally lively lobby was silent, and then he noticed the conflict here.
Some people want to sneak away, while others want to sit and watch the fun.
Cen Wuxin turned around and bowed to everyone, "Stop eating and drinking, a little bit of a matter."
The White Horse Gang is famous now and at the same time, it is also in harmony with the people, which is more like assisting the government in managing the market.
So after hearing Cen Wuxin's words, many people really calmed down, but their eyes were all looking at this side.
Chen Yueming's face turned pale. Cen Wuxin's words meant that he was just a trivial matter in his eyes and had no mention.
This is a shame and humiliation for a young and arrogant noble man.
"Why? I don't agree? Then sit with me for a while, don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you." Cen Wuxin's eyes were deeply sarcastic.
Zhang Dean asked his friend to arrange a table. Cen Wuxin sat down first, looking at Chen Yueming who was standing still, "It's not as good as yours here, but you're here to sit with me. Mr. Chen will give me a look."
Chen Yueming looked at Cen Wuxin suspiciously, not understanding what he was selling in the gourd, so he had to wait and see what happened first, so he sat down and didn't eat or drink.
Not only did he not understand, but even Zhang Dean, who was welcoming guests and Shao Lingzhi at the counter couldn’t understand. What is Mr. Cen going to do?
Cen Wuxin looked at Chen Yueming who was restless and sneered in his heart, go back and cry, who made you so unlucky that you would have to establish your authority when you meet the prime minister.
A shout rang out of the door, "Shu State Minister Jiang Yan and Jiang congratulated Qingshui Inn on its opening and giving a pair of flower baskets!"
A burst of exclamations sounded one after another, and many people in the hall rushed to the door, watching a manager of the Shangshu Mansion bring a pair of flower baskets, put them in place, and then smiled and congratulated the short boss, and turned around and left.
I'm good, Lord Jiang, Youlin, Xiaoguo Prime Minister!
Many eyes looked at the boss and the boss’s wife. Do these two have such a big background?
They naturally thought that Zhang Dean and Shao Lingzhi were a couple.
Chen Yueming's face was pale. Jiang Yan, no wonder Cen Wuxin had such confidence.
Cen Wuxin sneered and poured a glass of wine on his own.
Then another shout sounded outside the door, "Bai Qingyue, the deputy leader of Xiling Sword Sect, congratulated Qingshui Inn on the opening of the business and gave a pair of flower baskets!"
"this......"
The guests who had just returned to their seats looked at each other, which was also related to the Xiling Sword Sect?
Or the deputy sect leader?
There is never a shortage of people watching the fun in the world. There are many people on the street outside Qingshui Inn. The man pointing at him, the young woman holding a child, and the old woman holding a spatula in her hand stretched her neck and looked at the scene here.
It seems that the bigger the background of this inn opened beside them, the more honor they are.
Cen Wuxin looked at Chen Yueming and joked: "Young Master Chen, how about it?"
The sunken moon is like a deceased mother, two mountains are like this.
Because of the low-key nature of the royal family, this is almost the largest mountain in Shu Kingdom except for the prime minister.
Fortunately, it was not the Prime Minister who took action, otherwise he would have just hit him and died, so as not to implicate his family.
"The Prime Minister's Office congratulates Qingshui Inn on its opening and offers a pair of flower baskets!"
Chen Yueming's eyes rolled and he fainted.
The followers who were already weak in their legs were panicked again.
Cen Wuxin laughed, ignored him, got up to greet Mr. Wen.
Wen Wei walked in with a smile, patted Zhang Dean's shoulder, looking at Shao Lingzhi, "Girl, don't worry, no one can hurt you again when you come here."
Shao Lingzhi burst into tears in an instant, and she finally understood why they did this and why they were so kind to her.
The energetic face seemed to appear in front of him. He looked at himself with a confident smile, "Gingeria lucidum, wait for me to come back and take you to live a real good life."
She stretched out her hand gently, trying to touch his face, but grabbed her. Her brother Xiao would never come back.
In the small courtyard of the Prime Minister, Xun Yu and Jiang Yan sat opposite each other. Jiang Yan handed Xun Yu a cup of tea, "I thought you would just let them settle down quietly."
Xun Yu shook his head, "Why? They are not sinners. Why do you have to hide your identity when you come here and live a life as frightened as before."
He looked into the sky, "Since I can give them enough glory and glory, which I deserve, and it was very early."
Jiang Yan sighed softly and drank tea silently.
