At the beginning of the lanterns, the guest building is gradually shrouded in the night. The exquisite decoration and colorful candlelight make the guest building look particularly grand.
In the backyard of the guest building, Yang Fan had just finished taking a shower. There was no other way. Taking a shower together was not only a waste of water but also time-consuming.
Holding her hands for a while and putting them down for a while, the little girl helped arrange her clothes. Yang Fan had completely adapted to the life of a wealthy landlord and enjoyed it quite a lot.
Looking at the resolute and handsome face in the mirror, Yang Fan nodded with satisfaction.
After straightening the clothes, the little girl on the side stopped and stared blankly, with a silly smile on her face.
Yang Fan chuckled, pinched the little girl's cheek, thinking, what a silly girl, and asked: "Why are you in the guest building? Aren't you in Junyangfang?"
The little girl glanced at Wu Shun, who was sleeping on the bed, and said softly, but the look in her eyes made Yang Fan a little embarrassed.
Indeed, Wu Shun had gone too far just now, and it looked like Wu Shun couldn't get out of bed for two or three days.
But I also understood the reason why they were in the guest building.
It turns out that the business in Yingke Building is getting better and better, and there is no accounting man that she can trust, so Wu Meiniang asked Wu Shun to come over to help two days ago, so the ridiculous thing happened this afternoon.
Of course, Yang Fan does not regret what happened today, but feels deeply lucky.
Nodding his head clearly, Yang Fan ordered: "Keep an eye on Madam Wu, and then go and cook some porridge. When Madam Wu wakes up, let her eat some." After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the room.
On the one hand, I am hungry and want to find something to eat. After all, exercising for so long consumes a lot of energy.
On the other hand, this is the first time I have been here since the Yingke Building opened, so of course I had to visit it.
After walking outside, Yang Fan discovered that the location he was in was an independent courtyard.
Looking around, the place for lunch is at least two hundred meters away from here.
Ho!
When Fang Yiai and the others bought the land, the building, and the money, they all invested in the restaurant, but they didn't expect the restaurant to be so large.
This is the capital city of Chang'an, and these fools are indeed extraordinary.
Just as he was about to go to the restaurant to eat, there was a burst of laughter.
You don't need to look at it to know that there are voices from Cheng Chumo and Du He. Who makes them have such loud voices?
Judging from the distance and direction, he was still walking in his direction, which made Yang Fan look confused.
However, due to the delay in training the guards, it has been more than a month since I met these brothers. Since we meet here, it is just a good time to get together.
As a few people approached, they could see clearly that in addition to Cheng Chumo, Li Jinghuan, Du He, and Fang Yiai, there was also an unknown young man.
This man has red lips and white teeth, and is dressed in fine clothes and mink fur. He looks out of place among Cheng Chumo and other rough guys.
However, seeing how many people were talking and laughing, they got along very harmoniously.
Not far from the courtyard gate, Cheng Chumo and the others quickly spotted Yang Fan standing at the courtyard gate.
Several people were stunned for a moment, and then they were ecstatic. They came to the front in a few steps and patted Yang Fan on the shoulder.
"Brother Yishan, I haven't seen you for more than a month. I miss you so much."
"Yes, yes. Where has Brother Yishan been for more than a month? I asked Mrs. Wu and she only said that you went back to Junyangfang."
"Brother Yishan, I won't go home until I'm drunk today..."
Yang Fan was touched by the sincerity of these people, but he still pretended to be disgusted and said: "Get out of here, how can a few grown men cuddle and hug each other properly? A certain gender is male, and he likes women, but he is not interested in you."
Having said that, the movements of his hands could not help but tighten.
This is how it is between men. There are no nagging words. Although the words are full of flattery, the mutual trust and friendship can be felt from the inadvertent actions.
Yang Fan's words immediately made Cheng Chumo and others laugh and scold each other. They all insisted that they were strong men, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot.
The eyes of the young man with red lips and white teeth next to him are full of envy. This is the true brotherhood.
Of course Yang Fan also noticed this young man and asked with a smile: "Who is this friend... why don't you guys introduce me to someone?"
Cheng Chumo grinned widely and introduced with a smile: "Brother Yishan, this is Li Siwen, the second son of the British Duke; brother Siwen, this is Uncle Zhongyi of Wannian County..."
After listening to Cheng Chumo's introduction, Yang Fan was a little surprised, not because of Li Siwen, but because of his father Li Ji.
After all, Li Ji is so famous. His original name was Xu Gongmao. He joined the Wagang Army in his early years and later surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.
He successively participated in the Battle of Hulao Pass and helped the Tang Dynasty defeat the Eastern Turks, Xueyantuo, Gogury and other ethnic minority regimes.
He experienced the three dynasties of Emperor Gaozu, Emperor Taizong and Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty in his life. He successively held the posts of Minister of the Ministry of War, Third Rank of Tongzhongshu, Sikong, Crown Prince and Grand Master, etc., and was awarded many British titles.
Now he should be appointed as the governor of Bingzhou, and lead the prince's left guard from afar.
Li Ji is a character similar to Zhuge Liang in the Tang Dynasty.
Many unofficial biographies describe Li Ji as a resourceful military advisor.
However, according to Yang Fan, Li Ji in history was a man of both wisdom and courage, comparable to Li Jing who simply achieved greater military achievements, because Li Ji was more politically aware.
Li Siwen was quite knowledgeable and had the demeanor of his father. As soon as Cheng Chumo finished the introduction, he came over and said with a smile: "I heard that Uncle Zhongyi displayed his power, stormed into the Duke's mansion angrily, and punched the Fusang envoy. Even if he is His Highness the King of Qi has no choice but to accept the defeat, his poetry is famous, and his various righteous deeds have been spread throughout Guanzhong, but it is a pity that Siwen could not see the power of loyalty!"
Yang Fan said with a smile: "It's just a joke, it's just a common man's bravery; since Siwen is Chu Mo's brother, let's just call him by his name."
Li Siwen said happily: "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders. It is my honor to be loved by a loyal and righteous uncle. Brother Yishan's various actions, in my opinion, are the real heroism."
Li Siwen has just reached the weak crown this year. Although he looks like a scholar, he has a bohemian heart.
He is usually a person who wears bright clothes and angry horses, and swaggers through the streets. He often thinks of himself as a hero.
He is a person who is not afraid of causing trouble, but is afraid of minor troubles, so he is able to get along with Cheng Chumo and the others.
What he just said was true. He really admired Yang Fan.
Although the two have never been in contact and are not much different in age, he has always regarded Yang Fan as his idol, but they have never met each other before.
After contacting him today, he immediately felt that Yang Fan was very attracted to him. Maybe this was what others said about falling in love at first sight.
Sometimes people are really bullshit. Some people sleep with each other for a lifetime but have different dreams. Some people fall in love with each other for the first time. It's really strange.
After exchanging polite words, Yang Fan turned to Cheng Chumo and the others and asked, "Brothers, what are you doing here?"
Cheng Chumo and the others quickly revealed their intentions.
In the guest building, in addition to eating and drinking, there are also singing and dancing performances.
It was getting late, but there were no arrangements for today's song and dance performance, so I decided to come and ask Wu Shun.
It turned out that this was what happened, Yang Fan smiled awkwardly, Wu Shun was still asleep at this time, and he didn't leave the room all afternoon, how could he arrange it.
Ahem...
He coughed dryly and said, "Ms. Wu is suffering from the cold today. All she needs to do is ask others to make arrangements..."
"This... I'm afraid this won't work!" Cheng Chumo looked embarrassed, and several others nodded.
Yang Fan looked confused: "It's just a song and dance arrangement, is there any difference?"
Du He quickly explained: "Just now, the steward of the restaurant sent word that a noble person asked Miss Shishi to perform in person today, so..."
This made Yang Fan even more puzzled and said in surprise: "Miss Shishi is the number one in the Jiaofang Division. I want to hear her sing. Why don't they go to Piaoxiang Building and come to our Yingke Building? Isn't this obviously looking for trouble?"
Seeing the strange looks in everyone's eyes, Yang Fan looked confused.
Du He was heard laughing angrily: "Brother Yishan doesn't know, right? Miss Shishi was redeemed from the Jiaofang Division by Miss Wu Zhao a month ago, and Brother Yiai is still thinking about it because of this." It’s been a long time!”
"Moreover, Miss Shishi, as our guest, will sit in the guest building. She can perform if she wants. We will not force her if she doesn't want to perform. Of course, we are just conveying the message on our behalf. This matter can only be discussed by Lady Wu. "
Only then did Yang Fan suddenly realize, but he said: "It doesn't matter who it is, just ignore it. This is a place to eat, not a place for romance. Let's go... and drink!"
Fang Yiai continued: "Yes, I just said that I don't care about him!"
Everyone agreed, and during the conversation, several people walked out of the backyard and entered the passage of the guest building. valley
At this moment, there was a quarrel in my ears.
"It's her honor to let her come out to perform. I don't care if she wants it or not. Get out of the way quickly. I will go to the backyard to invite Miss Shishi to come out and see if she can give me face." An arrogant man An extremely domineering voice sounded.
Only one person carefully advised: "Your Highness, this matter is not for me to decide. I have already asked for instructions. I believe there will be a reply soon."
Another person said: "Your Highness, I am not the only one who dares to stop His Highness. In fact, Miss Shishi is a guest, not an actress in the guest building. Please forgive me."
But the domineering voice became more and more impatient and said: "I don't care whether she is a guest or an actor. Let me tell you, in the Tang Dynasty, besides my father, I am the biggest..."
From the sound of the voice, it looked like he had drank a lot.
As soon as he finished speaking, the guard next to this person pushed away the waiter's hand and prepared to walk into the backyard.
This group of people happened to meet Du He and others who came out of the backyard.
The person who came was wearing a purple brocade robe, with a wide waist and a big belly, and a round body like a panda. He looked very happy.
It might just be because of anger, or maybe because he was drunk, his fair face was flushed, and his facial features were squeezed together by the fat, giving people a feminine and cruel feeling.
Du He was walking at the front. When he saw someone so arrogant, he shouted directly: "Who is so arrogant..."
But when he saw the person clearly, he suddenly felt like a duck being strangled by the neck, and was speechless for a moment.
The person who came was very arrogant, but others had the ability to be arrogant, and this person was doing it just for Li Tai.
"It's His Royal Highness King Wei..."
Although they are usually fearless, the person in front of them is His Majesty's favorite prince. How dare Du He and the others scold or stop him.
For a moment, Cheng Chumo and others stared at each other, and there was silence in the passage. Everyone watched the fat Li Tai slowly walking towards them.
Looking at the round and shiny fat pig face, with his nostrils pointing upward, he looked arrogant, and his big belly was even more prominent because his hands were clasped behind his back.
No one can be proud of such a figure!
"Oh, the four major evils of Chang'an City are all here. They are really complete! What are you doing, blocking my way and rebelling?"
Li Tai took a splayed step and slowly moved his thick legs. His face was full of arrogance, his eyes were squinting, he didn't bother to look at Du He and the others, and he spoke in a weird manner.
He was not usually like this, and he didn't know whether it was due to drinking or being hit, or maybe Zhang Zhongye's praise today made him get carried away and his personality was a little different from usual.
However, everyone who is familiar with him knows that Wei King Li Tai has a somewhat weird personality. In modern terms, he has a split personality and is good at disguise.
In front of Li Shimin, he was a filial and well-behaved good son who respected his brothers and protected his brothers.
In front of the important officials in the court, he was a prince of the Tang Dynasty who respected the virtuous and courteous people, was open-minded and graceful, and had unparalleled talents.
But in the eyes of outsiders who are completely unrelated to him, he is bossy, vicious, and an unreasonable cruel person.
Of course, Li Tai didn't know his image in everyone's mind, because he didn't dare to say what he knew.
At this moment, seeing these dandy boys staring with big eyes and not daring to speak, Li Tai thought he was shocked by his heroic appearance, and felt very proud in his heart.
You must know that none of these guys are fuel-efficient lamps, otherwise they would not be called the Four Pests of Chang'an by Chang'an Xungui.
Except for Cheng Chumo and Li Jinghuan, who will inherit their father's title in the future, the others are the second sons of the family.
Cheng Chumo was a big boss, and Li Jinghuan's father, Li Daozong, blocked his way. Of course, Li Tai didn't have a good look on them.
As for people like Fang Yiai, Li Tai looked down upon them even more. In his eyes, these people had no hope of becoming nobles and had no ambition at all. They usually only did mischief and caused trouble. They were simply a cancer in Chang'an City.
Nowadays, these fearless people are in front of him. They are like mutes and dare not speak. They are as good as kittens. How can he not be proud of them?
So he said to himself: "Seeing how dejected you all are, you must not have seen Miss Shishi, right? In that case, just follow me, and I will take care of all the food, drinks, and fun tonight."
In his opinion, these second-generation people must be grateful.
However, as he thought, most of these children had no hope of inheriting their family titles and could only become rich men in this life.
Since there is no pursuit of promotion or promotion, they naturally do whatever they want and do whatever they want, thus developing the unruly character of these dandy boys.
When they thought about it, who could Li Tai show his face of giving alms?
We can't afford to eat, drink, or see Miss Shishi's performance?
Pooh……
It’s really like worrying about the growth of moles on other people’s faces.
They have shares in this restaurant, not to mention that in the eyes of a few people, Miss Shishi already belongs to Yang Fan if she agrees to Yang Mansion's redemption.
Now Li Tai regards girl Shishi as a woman from a brothel, and of course he is unhappy.
Although he was a little worried about Li Tai's status as a prince, he didn't think so in his heart.
King Wei is too arrogant and petty. Sometimes he can be offended by accident and he will fall out faster than turning the page in a book. Be careful!
Moreover, this person likes to do one thing overtly and another secretly, so he has nothing to do with them.
Seeing that no one was paying attention, the atmosphere became a little cold for a while.
I can’t hold on to my face!
Li Tai couldn't hold himself any longer.
Nima, I asked you to go and listen to Miss Shishi singing. I am doing this to give you face. How much face do you need?
You bunch of useless idiots have no intention of cheering at all.
Why, you really don’t know how to praise!
Thinking of this, his face became even gloomier, and he was about to go crazy.
Zhang Zhongye, who was behind him, quickly coughed and shouted: "Why don't you quickly thank His Highness King Wei?"
In his opinion, although these dandies cannot inherit the family title, they do not have much political resources.
But this group of people are all unruly and unruly. If they can be recruited to wave the flag and cheer for the King of Wei, it will be a big help.
Once the King of Wei gets angry, all these people will be offended. These people may succeed or fail, but the power behind them cannot be underestimated.
Du He complained secretly in his heart, saying that if King Wei wants to drink flower wine, he can go to the brothel to drink flower wine, and no one will stop him.
Why are you so aggressive in our restaurant and making everyone uncomfortable?
This place was originally renovated from his family's restaurant, and now he is a shareholder and considered the owner. At this time, he has no choice but to step forward.
Du He bowed his hands and saluted, and said with a smile: "There is also a stake in this guest building, and Miss Shishi is also a guest of mine. It is not convenient for Miss Shishi to perform today. Can Your Highness please come to support us next time?"
These words were very measured. He refused Li Tai's request to forcefully enter the backyard, and also pointed out his own attitude, which gave Li Tai enough face.
Unexpectedly, Li Tai didn't know that the string in his mind was on the wrong bridge today, and he said forcefully: "In that case, it's better. Call Miss Shishi out quickly; I just heard that a girl came to the guest building two days ago. The steward is a beauty, so I asked her to come out and drink with me."
As soon as these words came out, Du He's dark face suddenly turned the color of pig's liver. For a moment, he was stunned on the spot with shame and anger, not knowing what to do.
If it had been anyone else, Du He's temper would have given him a slap in the face a long time ago, and he would still have talked so much nonsense with him.
Damn it, is this human language?
Yingke Building is a restaurant, not a brothel, and there are serious performers who play, play, and sing, just to lighten the atmosphere.
But the man in front of him is a prince after all, His Majesty's favorite son. What can he do to him?
Even though I had never experienced such humiliation, I still had to hold back my anger and grit my teeth and swallow hard, just staring at Li Tai with a pair of eyes.
In fact, at this time, Li Tai also realized that what he said was a bit too much. After all, it was indeed a bit too much to ask someone else's female steward to come over and drink with him.
What's the difference between this and robbing civilian women?
However, Li Tai has always been proud and arrogant, and of course he will not admit his mistakes in front of these dudes.
