Chapter 168 Old friends meet again

As soon as these words came out,

The people outside the hall were suddenly shocked,

Everyone hurriedly turned around and looked out the door. It turned out that a man with tied hair and a crown walked in from the door. His steps were light and his expression was a little arrogant. If the man didn't deny them, he would be Jia Dairu's grandson Jia Rui, which was considered a courtesy.

Jia Baoyu is of the same generation, but there is a lot of age difference between them.

I saw Jia Rui coming in with a bit of impatience, and walked straight over there. He originally wanted to scold Jia Baoyu, but when he saw Jia Baoyu walking around in the middle, his expression immediately changed, and he smiled with a flattering smile.

,road;

"It turns out that Second Master Fu Bao is there, and Jia Rui is polite here."

Jia Rui bowed in a funny manner, and everyone was inevitably a little upset when they saw it, as expected.

Jia Baoyu didn't pay attention at all, and was thinking about who would win the first place. Jia Rui saw that Mr. Bao didn't pay attention to him at all, so he smiled awkwardly.

Looking at the people around me, I had to whisper,

"Sir, you have gone back beforehand. You don't want to be too messy. Just take out the books and study on your own."

After Jia Rui finished speaking, he didn't care what others were doing. He walked directly to the teaching seat and took out the novel he bought from the bookstore and started reading.

Whether or not,

outside the hall,

Bubu was really not fake, and many of the disciples began to read it with their heads shaking, while the people around Baoyu did not leave, waiting for Mr. Bao to place their bets.

In the past, Baoyu had chosen the Beijing camp. After all, the second brother Lian was there. As a descendant of the Rongguo Mansion, he had to stand out clearly. Even if he didn't eat, Jia Baoyu would be enlightened.

In particular, all the children of Rongguo Mansion were praising Jia Baoyu, let alone flattering him.

Jia Rui also said that Zhu Qi couldn't see it, so he couldn't offend the young master of Rongguo Mansion because of such a trivial matter.

And the capital city,

Is it a little lively?

Outside the capital.

There were many carriages of high officials and dignitaries coming in and out. Those who knew about it would definitely think that the imperial court was asking for a grand meeting. The Red Lotus Sect and the Taiping Sect also secretly changed their bases and asked around to find out what happened.

On her way back home, Zhang Jinyu made a special trip to Zuixian Tower in Dongdong City to buy some food for her return home, especially the Jiangnan-style roast goose that her mother and Yueshu liked to eat.

Not to mention, the wine and food here are unique and full of Jiangnan flavor, and the owner is also a wonderful person. Zhang Jinyu remembered the taste of this place after eating it once.

Arriving at Zuixian Tower,

Zhang Jinyu got off her horse and walked in with her bodyguard. The decoration outside the lobby was obviously much more delicate, full of Jiangnan style, and the gaps between the tables were also large, making them look like partitions.

Before it was time to eat, there were actually about 70,000 people inside. Of course, it was not very noisy. After all, it was a high-end place and it was hard to get there even without a few bucks.

When the waiter on the first floor saw a high-ranking official coming, he ran over in a hurry. He bowed and asked:

"General, do you want a job or a hotel room?"

Zhang Jinyu took a few steps inside, glanced around, and then looked at the person in front of him, a waiter dressed in standard clothes. Whether it was hot or cold in the city, a long rag was always carried on his shoulders, and he did not mind the difficulty.

Hear it and reply;

"I'd like to ask you to bring some food back with you. Here are four of our special meat dishes including legs. Next time, we'll be roasting goose. Hurry up and prepare it."

"Okay, Mr. Marquis, you can walk there first, as long as the horse is here."

The waiter immediately wiped the table and stools at the door with a rag, let everyone go, and then ran back to the kitchen and shouted loudly,

"Bring a food box with four specialties and roast goose."

After speaking, the waiter made a pot of tea from inside, brought a few tea bowls over, and respectfully poured a bowl of tea for Zhang Jinyu;

"Master Marquis, please rest first, as long as the horse is here."

After saying this, the waiter asked to leave, but Zhang Jinyu stopped the waiter with a "Hey, wait for me".

"Master Hou, is something very serious?"

Zhang Jinyu took out two taels of silver from her waist and stuffed it directly into the waiter's legs, and asked in a low voice;

"Boy, what happened in Ningrong Street and Ningguo Mansion over the past few months?"

The waiter looked confused and hesitated to say anything. Zhang Jinyu took out another ten taels of silver notes from his arms and stuffed it into it. When the waiter saw that there was no one around, he said quickly;

"Mr. Marquis, in the past few days, restaurants have been talking about the big competition in the capital, and all the major gambling houses have begun to place bets. You are wrong about the Duke's Mansion. I heard that the two masters are going there in the past few days.

Selecting human legs in the side room and saying whether you want to form a caravan or something, whether there should be a trade route, can it be a big money-making thing."

The waiter had a look of envy after he finished speaking. After hearing this, Zhang Jinyu patted the waiter on the shoulder, signaling that he had received it and that I could go. The waiter nodded and left.

Zhang Jinyu took a sip of tea and said, "Bah."

Is this the worst tea? Thinking of the waiter’s words, you should know that both Ning Rong and Ning Rong are on their way to the trade route. It seems that the old lady didn’t take my words to heart at all, but it makes sense. Ning Rong

As one, it doesn't matter if you can do business well. After all, everything is lacking outside the customs. If you want to go astray, I don't blame you. I can make some decisions when the time comes.

As for whether there will be smuggling, I hope Jia She or Jia Zhen will get involved sooner or later.

Speaking of Jia Lian, when I think of Wang Xifeng, I also think of the girl Ping'er next to me. I wonder if she has ever been with him. If I ask her to go with him, I will hesitate.

After thinking about it for a while, I saw a lot of carriages returning from outside the city. They must be attending tomorrow's court meeting. Is the military officer really comfortable? The court meeting only happens once every half a month. Unless something big happens, the salary will not be much.

In the back hall on the first floor, Hong Shuiyue, the leader of the Red Lotus Church, was drinking tea through the curtain and looking at Marquis Luo Yun. He was the son of his junior sister, and he was indeed a suave, unparalleled young man. He even became a prince without eating.

It was simply unheard of. I had tossed and turned for several nights without sleeping well, thinking about how to go see her.

Does that little guy like to come there to eat? Or, since he is based in Jiangnan, his mouth has not changed so quickly.

After waving his legs, the shopkeeper ran over and asked in a low voice;

"Proprietor, what are your orders?"

"You see that Lord Marquis, add another dish, the wild geese fly from the north to the south, and then put that on the bottom."

Hong Shuiyue handed the shopkeeper a sealed wax pill. If you look carefully, there must be a note sealed in it. The shopkeeper nodded and responded;

"Minghong, proprietor, do you have any other instructions? Just in case the Marquis doesn't accept it!"

"I'll just tell you whether it's a gift from an old friend, Wang's Jinling Tomb, Jinghu Broken Soul Bridge!"

Hong Shuiyue said, but she had so many thoughts that she couldn't go back.

The shopkeeper responded and went east.

"Master Marquis, the kitchen has been prepared. Would you like to take it away now?"

Zhang Jinyu was interrupted by the waiter's words, coughed and replied;

"Well, take it away then."

"Okay, Lord Marquis, please wait a moment."

The waiter in the shop left, and Zhang Jinyu got up and stretched. He could have a good rest tomorrow, and the brothers in the camp could also have a good rest for two days. Ningbian really had a way of leading the army.

At that time, the shopkeeper naturally prepared the food box, and personally brought the food box over with the waiter. The shopkeeper bowed with his legs crossed;

"I've met Mr. Marquis. I'm the chief shopkeeper of Zuixian Restaurant. Is that the dish you ordered?"

"Yes, from shopkeeper Xie Nao,"

Zhang Jinyu waved her east leg and asked the bodyguard to take the food box, and then she asked to stretch her leg to take out the money. The shopkeeper hurriedly stopped her. Seeing the confused expression of the Marquis, he immediately explained;

"Master Marquis, someone has paid the money, and I have ordered a dish for you called Bei Yan Nan Fei."

Zhang Jinyu listened and repeated it, which made some sense. The northern geese flew to the south. The obvious meaning was whether it was returning from the north to the south. Who could it be?

"No merit will be rewarded, and the money will not be paid. Please see that person and thank him on his behalf."

When the shopkeeper saw that Mr. Marquis insisted on not asking for money and was asking for money, he had to say it;

"Master Marquis, I have something to say. That old friend gave me Wang's Jinling Mausoleum and the Broken Soul Bridge on Jinghu Lake! You will accept it."

After hearing this, Zhang Jinyu narrowed her eyes. If she was talking about her mother's gift from an old friend, Wang's Jinling, it could not refer to Jinghu Lake when her mother Wang was in Jinling, or her mother's favorite place, Duanhun Bridge.

"Is this the first time I've heard of it?" he asked with a cold expression;

"I will ask you where this person is!"

Hong Shuiyue, who was in the back room, shook her head when she saw this scene. Her temperament was exactly the same as that of her junior sister, and she couldn't just put down the tea bowl and get up and disappear.

The shopkeeper naturally knew that the leader must have known about it at this time and must have already left. After a while, he hesitated and took a look inside. Zhang Jinyu immediately rushed over with his people.

I saw a table and chairs in a dark room. There was a cup of unfinished tea on the table. I tried it with my legs. It was not very warm. I wanted to chase after it. But if I looked around, there was an entrance and exit. Then

There is a secret door or you may have left early.

Zhang Jinyu looked around and couldn't find any mechanism, so she had to go back here and smell it. There was a smell of rouge. She must be a woman. If she couldn't find any flaws, she had to take someone back.

Seeing the shopkeeper cowering aside, Zhang Jinyu had no interest in asking any more questions, so she had to pick up the food box and go back.
