The place Shi Gan chose was an extremely ordinary restaurant, very much like the roadside food stall that Lin Pingan had in his previous life.
This surprised Lin Ping'an, thinking to himself that this shouldn't be this guy's style?
Shi Qian jumped off his horse, saluted the flying bat following behind him, and said respectfully:
"Old man, why don't we go in and eat together."
The flying bat ignored him, but looked at Lin Pingan and said:
"Miss Yun Shu asked me to follow the young master, but she didn't ask me to eat with the young master."
After saying this he disappeared.
It seemed that just by blinking his eyes, Shi Qian could no longer see the figure of the old man in front of him.
He was speechless secretly and asked Lin Ping'an:
"Brother, who has the final say in your other courtyard?"
Lin Ping'an shook his head helplessly. To be honest, he was also wondering now what kind of ecstasy soup Sylvia Lin gave the flying bat. Why did the old man listen to Sylvia Yunshu's words so much?
Since it is an extremely ordinary restaurant, there is no such thing as a private room.
The restaurant was very noisy at the moment, bustling with all kinds of guests, but it was obvious that they were all ordinary people.
"Shi Qian, here."
At this time someone shouted.
Lin Ping'an looked around and saw a strong man waving to Shi Gan. Several people were already sitting around the table in front of him.
Shi Qian was very happy and walked over with Lin Pingan. Those people stood up and looked at Lin Pingan.
"This is my elder brother Lin Ping'an."
Shi Qian introduced to everyone.
Then he pointed at the man who greeted him just now and said:
"This is my brother Ma Sanqiang, who sells horses and sells beef and mutton in the capital."
Then he pointed to another young man in extremely ordinary clothes and said:
"This is Jiang Chaoyang, the son of Jiang Wanjin, the president of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce."
So the young man in extremely ordinary clothes bowed his hand towards Lin Ping'an upon hearing this.
"This is Jiang Shun, the fish seller."
Shi Qian pointed to another tall man with a dark complexion and introduced him.
The man also bowed his hand towards Lin Ping'an.
Shi Qian then looked at the other people and introduced them one by one:
"This is Sun Dali, who is working as a coolie in the capital with a group of brothers, carrying bags and unloading goods."
"This is Song Rufeng, an agent from the Yamen."
Lin Ping'an rushed to several people and handed over their hands, but he was very surprised in his heart.
He didn't expect that Shi Qian's friends were actually these people. The young master named Jiang Chaoyang was at least the son of the president of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce. The rest were all very ordinary traffickers and lackeys. .
There are horse sellers, fish sellers, coolies, and yamen fishermen. It sounds quite complicated.
Seeing the difference in Lin Ping'an's expression, Shi Qian smiled and said:
"My father doesn't allow me to associate with the princes of the ministers in the DPRK, and I look down on those people, so these are my best friends."
Lin Ping'an naturally would not look down on these people. He nodded to everyone one by one very politely, and then sat down.
Although the food on the table was not that exquisite, it was very rich. The man named Ma Sanqiang poured a bowl of wine for everyone, then raised the wine bowl and said:
"I heard that Mr. Lin has excellent medical skills and can also compose poems. We are just rough people. If Mr. Lin doesn't mind, please drink this bowl of wine."
Without saying a word, Lin Ping'an picked up the bowl of wine and drank it.
Seeing his performance, everyone happily drank the bowl of wine.
Shi Gan pointed at the young master named Jiang Chaoyang and said, "Although he is very rich, he is not as high-profile as me. He is a great philanthropist in Beijing."
When Jiang Chaoyang heard this, he felt a little embarrassed and said to Lin Pingan:
"Shi Qian deserves the award. I only tried my best. I really don't dare to be called a great benefactor."
Seeing that Lin Pingan was a little confused, Shi Qian explained:
"Every year, this guy organizes wealthy businessmen in Beijing to donate money and materials to the people affected by the disaster. He also sets up porridge shacks at the gates of Beijing. Anyone who is homeless or can't afford to eat can go there to eat and drink."
When Lin Ping'an heard this, he couldn't help but be in awe of Jiang Chaoyang. The young master Jiang in front of him was dressed in extremely ordinary clothes, with a calm face and a gentle and humble smile. One look at him gave people a feeling of spring breeze.
This made Lin Ping'an feel an inexplicable affection for him.
Shi Qian pointed at Ma Sanqiang and said, "This guy travels between Guanwai and Beijing all year round. Ask him to find you the best horse when the time comes."
Ma Sanqiang patted his chest and said, "This kind of trivial matter can only be taken care of by brothers."
Shi Qian then pointed at the man named Jiang Shun and said: "Don't underestimate him. He is just a fish seller, but he basically brings all the fish in the capital. If you want to eat fish in the future, just tell him." Yes, even the sharks in the sea can get it for you."
After the words fell, the man named Sun Dali said: "I work as a coolie and have a hundred or ten brothers under me. If Mr. Lin has anything to do, just give me an order."
Finally, the agent named Song Rufeng said: "I am just an ordinary little agent. I can't help Mr. Lin much."
Lin Ping'an raised the wine bowl and said very sincerely:
"It's a pleasure to meet all my friends. Lin Ping'an is new to the capital. He wants to get closer to all the brothers in the future."
In fact, he was the youngest among them, but when he spoke, he was a bit old-fashioned, which surprised everyone.
"Mr. Lin, the song "Huanxisha. A Presentation to Xu Buddha from the Forbidden City" you made last night has been sung in the capital. It is estimated that from today on, it will become a must-sing song in the brothels in Beijing."
Jiang Chaoyang said to Lin Pingan.
Lin Ping'an was stunned. He didn't expect Xu Fo's hands and feet to be so fast, and he could compose the lyrics and music overnight.
"It's nothing."
Shi Qian shouted, and then asked everyone mysteriously: "Guess who I just saw?"
Everyone shook their heads, expressing that they couldn't guess.
Shi Qian slapped the table proudly and shouted: "I saw Zhu Queyan Xiaoxiao, and I even called her Sister Xiaoxiao."
Upon hearing this, the detective named Song Rufeng immediately retorted: "This is impossible. Zhuque Yan Xiaoxiao has always been as cold as ice and does not make friends with outsiders. How could you call her Sister Xiaoxiao!"
"Yes, she is the leader of Qingtian Sword, how can you establish friendship with her?"
Jiang Chaoyang didn't believe it either.
Shi Qian showed a proud smile on his face, patted Lin Ping'an on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"Because she is my eldest brother's Xiaoxiao sister."
This sentence was said without any reason, and everyone was immediately confused.
Shi Qian felt that Lin Ping'an was a night watchman and he didn't dare to talk about it casually, so he could only say:
"If you don't believe it, if I meet her one day, I will scream for you on the spot."
Everyone made a noise, thinking that Shi Qian was joking. Only Jiang Chaoyang looked Lin Ping'an up and down inadvertently, and his heart was suddenly full of doubts.
"I dare to ask Mr. Lin, that Yunshu Restaurant should be your property, right?"
He asked Lin Pingan.
Lin Ping'an nodded: "My sister Ye Yunshu is running the business."
Jiang Chaoyang nodded, looking very calm on the surface, but there was a turmoil in his heart.
The fact that Lin Pingan let Zhou Yingqiu suffer has long been spread in the capital. The background behind Lin Pingan is even more imaginative. Jiang Chaoyang naturally knows about this.
"It turns out there is a big relationship between him and the Night Watchman!"
Jiang Chaoyang thought silently in his heart, feeling that he finally found the key to the problem, and couldn't help but take a deep look at Lin Pingan again.
His expression fell into the eyes of Detective Song Rufeng, and he suddenly remembered the incident in his mind, and couldn't help but think in his heart:
"You are saying that you dare to attack the nine thousand year old Wei Zhongxian. It turns out that there is a night watchman behind you. It seems that the identity of Mr. Lin is not simple."
At this moment, the two of them were thinking about it, and they suddenly felt that Lin Pingping was very human. At the same time, they also figured out why Shi Qian could call Yan Xiaoxiao Xiaoxiao sister.
It turns out that it was all for Lin Ping'an's sake!
Lin Ping'an naturally didn't know that the two people in front of him were so crazy. He just felt that drinking the wine today was a bit enjoyable. The people in front of him had a great impression on him. At the same time, he also had a new understanding of Shi Qian. .
"Shi Fenglai doesn't allow his son to associate with the princes of the ministers?"
This discovery made him a little stunned.
According to the historical records of his previous life, even though Shi Fenglai was a man of great talent, he was still a villain who tended to follow people's influence. He clung to Wei Zhongxian and even proposed to build a large shrine for him, which has always been looked down upon by future generations.
Logically speaking, shouldn't such a person form a gang and form a clique for personal gain?
How could he be alone and prevent his son from interacting with the ministers of the DPRK?
Could it be that another historical statement about this eunuch member is true?
Shi Fenglai clinging to Wei Zhongxian was just a helpless move. His purpose was to hold back and wait for the opportunity?
Thoughts flashed through Lin Pingan's mind, and he suddenly began to doubt the authenticity of the history he had seen in his previous life.
The meal was very casual, and the people present were all generous people. Even Jiang Chaoyang was afraid of his life when he drank.
Although Daming's wine was very light, it couldn't stand up to several people taking turns to toast, and Lin Ping'an couldn't resist it.
In the end, he didn't know how he returned to the other courtyard, but when he woke up the next day, the sun was already high in the sky.
