When he came out of the Yamen, Third Brother looked at the eunuch and the guards.
The eunuch was wearing a blue shirt, and every move he made followed the palace rules, and anyone with a sharp eye outside could see it immediately.
On the contrary, there are two bodyguards, chosen from the banner disciples. They are similar to long followers. They wear ordinary blue shirts. Most of them are dressed like this outside, so they don't tell much.
He said to the two eunuchs: "You should go back to your home first and tell Mr. Tian that I will not go back to eat today..."
I just remembered that yesterday, when I came out to comfort someone, he originally promised to go back at noon today.
The two eunuchs responded and a guard led the third brother's horse over.
The third elder brother looked at it and ordered: "Keep it here for now. I can use your horse to drive around the imperial city."
The guard honestly handed over his horse to Third Brother, and then followed him on foot with another colleague.
"Which restaurant is the best in the imperial city?"
Because it was dinner time, the first thing that came to my mind was the restaurant.
Food is the most important thing for the people, so the business in this restaurant and teahouse cannot go wrong.
If the place is suitable, it can be added to the nine grids.
The guard thought for a while and said: "The largest restaurant is Yufenglou. It is also a time-honored restaurant. I heard that it was opened by the ancestor Shizu. It has been over fifty years..."
The third elder brother nodded. Having been in business for so many years, the food must be good and the price is not cheap.
But it doesn't matter, I'll go back to the fourth child to make amends.
This is also a "tolerance" for him...
When he arrived downstairs at Yufeng, the third elder brother sat upright on his horse, took a closer look, and discovered something strange.
This is a fork in the road.
To the west is Xi'an Gate, to the east is Jingshan West Gate, and to the south is Xihua Gate.
The front door of this row of ten rooms looks impressive, with two floors, and the hanging guise is seven or eight feet high.
】
What are you really thinking about?
Where could there be a better shop than this one?
The annual rent for this official house is estimated to be several hundred taels at least.
Tsk tsk, Jiuge made a profit...
Third Brother had an idea and got off his horse in front of the building.
A waiter came over to greet him: "Master, please come inside..."
The third elder brother brought two guards in.
The waiter's keen eyes scanned the third elder brother's body first. He didn't have a jade belt, and the work on his waist was ordinary. He was not inlaid with gems or beads. Although the blue uniform on his body was made of Ning silk, it had not been worn for a long time. Yes, it's a little faded, and the cuffs are threadbare.
The two senior attendants following behind looked ordinary, dull-witted, with a look of ignorance, and no intention of offering rewards. They were either country bumpkins from out-of-town flag camps who had entered the city, or they were living in poverty.
The waiter swallowed the question of whether they wanted a private room and led them directly to the lobby.
The third elder brother rarely goes out to restaurants, and he only comes here to inquire about news, so it doesn't matter.
The two guards felt it was inappropriate. This person was too complicated.
One of them said: "Sir, there are so many people outside, so it's better to stay in a private room, right?"
The third elder brother thought that he still wanted to pass on the shopkeeper's questions. It was indeed more convenient to have a private room, so he nodded and said: "Then a private room..."
The waiter couldn't help but complain in his heart, just these three poor people, were they afraid that people would look down upon them?
But he also knew the rules when it came to making a living in the imperial city.
A banner man cannot just look at wealth or not. He cannot be said to be wearing a fourth-grade left collar and be several levels higher than a county magistrate.
Even if you don't have an official status, you can't be scorned. Who knows where the third aunt and the eighth aunt are coming from?
He respectfully led the three of them to the second floor and to a private room in the corner.
Menu signs hung on the walls on both sides of the private room.
The third brother was really hungry. He looked around and saw the tripe pot.
This ingredient is not common.
The third elder brother said: "Let's have a tripe pot, and the other ones include yellow vegetables, stir-fried vegetables, and braised tofu..."
Having said this, he looked at the two guards and said to the waiter: "Okay, four dishes, no cakes, more rice..."
The waiter agreed and went down, unable to help but curse.
I read that right, even if he is poor, he only needs a meat dish when he goes to a restaurant, and there is no one else.
The third elder brother motioned to the two guards to sit down and said, "Do you come here often? Whose business is this? Actually, tripe pot is always on the menu..."
Not to mention other places, it is his Baylor Mansion. It is not difficult to eat beef. There is always a place to buy it. Plus there is a refrigerator now. You can eat it for several days at a time. But if you want to eat tripe every day, I am afraid it will not be enough. easy.
One of the guards had really heard of it and said: "I came here once when I was a child. My boss's surname is Gao. He is an old family in Nancheng. He seems to have joined Prince Yu's palace..."
The third elder brother was not surprised when he heard this.
Such a big business would not be able to gain a foothold in the imperial city without the protection of the prince's palace.
Those senior officials in the Ministry of Internal Affairs can use credit to sell money to the yellow stalls.
Prince Yu's Mansion...
The third elder brother was extremely envious.
what is brother king
Prince Yu is the elder brother!
In the same way, when Prince Yu opened his mansion in the sixth year of Kangxi, he divided the Manchu left collar (ten), the Mongolian left collar (six), the Han army's left collar (four), and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Manchu left collar (one), flag and drum left collar (one), and inner management. Get one.
There are eight more left leaders than the later Prince Gong and Prince Chun.
Even if Kangxi had three left leaders taken away due to crimes twenty-nine years later, there would still be seventeen more.
In recent years, the dignity of Prince Yu's palace has not been as good as in the early years, but it is not something that his nephew can match.
However, knowing that the backer of this restaurant was Prince Yu, the previous wishful thinking had failed, and the third elder brother was a little disappointed.
He is not the ninth elder brother, who is so irritable and serious, and insists on confronting the elders of the clan.
Seeing the two guards still standing, the third elder brother said: "Sit down and eat together, don't waste it, their food should not be cheap..."
Before he finished speaking, there was movement at the door.
It was the waiter who left and came back.
He was not here to serve the food, but with a smile on his face, he looked at the third elder brother and said: "This gentleman is a villain, Hu Tu. I forgot that someone has reserved a reservation. This is a private room reserved by others. Look at your This is……"
The third elder brother was always friendly outside and had no intention of embarrassing the waiter. He stood up and said, "Then which room should I change to?"
The waiter wondered: "This private room is full. How about I find you a seat by the window in the lobby? And give you a small change..."
After hearing this, the third elder brother sat down again, his face drooping.
The waiter was not afraid when he saw his change of expression. He just said: "This is the third master of the Fucha family. He wants to entertain distinguished guests..."
The third elder brother raised his eyebrows and said, "The third son of the Fucha family? Fuqing?"
The waiter was still wondering which "Fu Qing" was, but the people outside were impatient with waiting and opened the door directly.
The leader is a twenty-four or five-year-old man, wearing a brand-new bright blue solid gauze coat, with a Hetian jade ring on his hand, and a gold and jade flower and bird sign hanging on his waist.
Nowadays, the rule is not to wear gold in mid-April. However, this man's gold inlaid jade is not the ordinary gold inlaid with jade, but burnt red gold inlaid with jade. It is made from the inside, which looks rich and auspicious.
He glanced at the third elder brother impatiently and scolded the waiter: "Why don't you vacate the room? I'm neglecting our distinguished guest!"
The waiter gave himself a slap and said: "Third Master, it's my fault. I forgot that you reserved a private room and got the wrong guest..."
Having said this, he looked at the third elder brother with a request and said: "Master, there is always a first-come, first-served..."
The third elder brother's face turned dark. When he was embarrassed in front of his brothers, he had been exposed to this bird-like behavior outside, and he said angrily: "I am sitting inside, and they are standing outside. Isn't this just a first-come-first-served basis?" "
The third master was a bit angry. He looked the third elder brother up and down and said, "Which family do you come from? Is this your first time in the imperial city to see the world? Then you have to be careful and don't bring trouble to the family." !”
This loud tone made the third elder brother laugh angrily. He looked at the man and said, "Which family are you the third master of? Such a big noodles?"
The man frowned and said, "I said you kid can't understand people, right? Don't be so shameless!"
Before the third elder brother said anything, the two guards could no longer listen. One of them directly held the handle of the knife and yelled: "Presumptuous!"
The man was startled and looked at the two guards. He saw that they were neither tall nor big, but ordinary talents. He looked like they were just making up for the numbers and did not look like they came from the army. He said: "What's the matter? It's still a noble man who cannot be degraded..." …”
With that said, he turned around and said hello: "Master Duo Er, please come in quickly and let these country bumpkins have a good look at what a noble person is!"
Behind him was a man in his early thirties, with a long face, rich clothes, and a huge ruby in his hand. He waved his hand and said, "Otherwise, forget it, one more thing is worse than one less thing!"
The Third Master Fucha immediately glared and said, "Second Master, you look down on me, brother, don't you? There are members of our family in Yufeng Tower, so I don't believe it. I still can't get this private room today..."
The waiter who served the food came up at this time, carrying a dinner plate.
Third Master Fucha took one look at it and saw that it was both bean sprouts and tofu. He couldn't help but sneer and said: "Sir, you might really want to inquire more about it. Our private room in Yufeng Tower is not for ordinary people to sit in. At least two people can sit in it." It starts from two taels of silver. If it's not enough, you have to make up for the private room fee..."
The third elder brother thought about the private rooms that were next to each other on both sides of the road just on the second floor, and immediately made a calculation.
If this is really the case, this meal will cost dozens of taels of silver on the second floor? !
How much water will flow down that day...
The third elder brother looked at the third master Fucha, his eyes were a little red.
Damn Fucha family, let alone the Ma Qi family, even if Ma Qi is standing here, it’s not a big deal!
Seeing that he was "embarrassed and angry", the Third Master Fucha said to the waiter: "Please change the place, I'll take this meal!"
The waiter responded, looked at Third Brother and said, "Sir, if you wait any longer, the food will get cold!"
The third elder brother looked at the "Second Master Duo" behind the Second Master Fucha, still a little hesitant, and said: "Are you an in-law of Prince Yu's palace, or a disciple?"
Why don't you pretend to be a "noble person" here?
"Master Duo Er" glanced at Third Brother, raised his chin, and didn't mean to pay him any attention.
This bad behavior looks a bit familiar, but also a bit annoying... The third elder brother is heartbroken.
Third Master Fucha already snorted softly and said: "This is the brother of Master Yi in the palace, the uncle of several princes, and the second master of the Guo Luoluo family!"
The third brother's mouth twitched after hearing this.
He is really a "noble person"...
If you were to replace an ordinary slave, you would just have to chase him away. This is a member of the Guo Luoluo family, and you have to look at the dignity of the fifth elder brother and the ninth elder brother.
The Third Master Fucha saw that he was not confident enough, so he waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't be verbose, go down, be smart later, don't bang around without any idea..."
With that, he ignored the third elder brother and told the waiter: "Go ahead and pick out the bird's nests, shark's fins, sea cucumbers and abalone. Don't pick at them, just like the third elder in the palace. Copying scriptures every day is out of character and makes people laugh..."
