Backstage at the restaurant, the singers were dressing up and chatting away.
One of the singers, who was putting on eye makeup, was a little irritated because she didn't learn the new play well recently. Listening to the noise in the restaurant, she immediately complained: "Tui'er, who are the guests outside today? It's so noisy. ?」
A singer next to her replied: "Sister Fuxiang, they seem to be a group of young men, disciples of the Mongolian School of the great scholar Dong Zhongshu. They seem to have graduated from the Mongolian School today."
When Fu Xiang heard this, she immediately became energetic and said, "Dong Daru's disciple of Meng Xue? Isn't that our young master's classmate?"
The singer next to me echoed, "Yes."
"Then I have to sing well. I can't let them say that I'm not good at singing." Fuxiang said with a smile.
However.
Cui'er said, "Sister Fu Xiang, I heard from Shopkeeper Bu San that the leading ones outside seem to be the heirs of the Li family, and they don't get along well with the young master."
"A descendant of the Li family?" The singer Fuxiang tilted her head, looking a little confused.
Cui'er then continued: "He is the heir of old General Li Guang, the one who had a dispute with our young master last year. By the way, Chang'anle, which copied our restaurant model, was also opened by the Li family."
Chang'anle Restaurant is a joint venture of several businessmen, but the situation inside is unknown to outsiders like Cui'er.
Most people know that the Li family is involved in Chang'anle.
so.
They thought Chang'anle was opened by the Li family.
Fuxiang had already put on her eye makeup and said lightly: "This is the restaurant where Leya, Jia Benxia and the others go, right? Oh, it's not that good. I heard it was burned down two days ago!"
When Cui'er heard this, she immediately felt depressed and said, "Yes, I don't know how Sister Leya and Sister Xiaer are doing."
"Never mind them, Cui'er, don't think about being like them!" Fuxian paused and said with an experienced attitude: "Let me tell you, Master treats us well. If we are like that Le Ya and Just like Jia Benxia, she will be struck by lightning from the sky!"
"Don't think how nice it is outside."
"I heard that the singers who went to Chang'anle had a miserable life."
"It's even worse than when I was in Pingyang Marquis Mansion."
As we were talking, a servant came in with his head stretched out and asked, "Are you ready? Tonight's show is about to begin."
Upon hearing this.
Nafuxiang immediately complained and said: "Ah, so fast, I haven't mastered it yet..."
"..."
...
At this time, inside the restaurant.
Li Ling and others were taking the lead in making trouble because they were not given drinks on the table.
It's not that Tile Jianle deliberately targeted the children of the Li family.
It was a rule set by Huo Guang that no drinks were allowed to be served to anyone who came but was a young man who had not yet bowed.
unless.
The traveling companions were accompanied by elders in the family.
In fact, just like modern times, there are always some young people who were rebellious when they were students and wanted to try anything new.
What about tattoos, drinking, and smoking!
etc.
Everyone wants to try it, but these are actually not allowed.
It was the same in ancient times. If you didn't perform the crowning ceremony, you were a minor in ancient times.
Nor can you drink alcohol.
But there are always people who want to try. In desperation, Huo Guang didn't want to cause trouble, so he refused to serve wine to anyone who had not bowed.
Therefore, the restaurant followed the rules set by Huo Guang.
Since Li Ling and others had not performed the crowning ceremony, they naturally could not serve them wine.
And Li Ling has always been used to being domineering in his own restaurant Chang'anle. Naturally, he can do whatever he wants in the restaurant he owns?
only.
The current restaurant is a place of happiness, not the Chang'an happiness of his family.
After some shouting, the shopkeeper Fu San walked up to these people with a professional fake smile on his face and asked: "You are still young and your body is not used to drinking water, so please don't take it."
"Moreover."
"According to the rules of our store, those who have not bowed are not allowed to drink alcohol!"
When Li Ling heard this, he became furious and said, "What, you open a restaurant that prohibits alcohol? Then what kind of restaurant do you open?"
"This is the first time I heard it!"
"He's the one who runs the restaurant and prohibits alcohol!"
Li Ling's words were loud and he didn't care about the guests in the restaurant at all.
This situation.
Fu San is already used to it, after all, he has been the shopkeeper here for more than a year.
He certainly knows how to deal with it.
First, he waved his hand and summoned some strong men to surround them.
thereafter.
Still putting on a smiling face, he said: "I'm sorry, this is the rule of this restaurant. If you really want to drink, I can give you some fruit juice."
Fruit stuffed.
In fact, it's much more expensive than drinks.
But for people who want to drink, how can the two be the same.
"Humph, the servants are all so unruly." Looking at those big men, Li Ling still held back his temper and could only complain.
Although Li Ling and others complained about it.
But when Fu San saw that the other party was no longer causing trouble, he let him go.
As Li Ling sat down, the people around him started shouting: "Li Ling, don't be scared. This shopkeeper is so irritating just looking at him. Why don't we go up together and beat him up."
However.
Li Ling snorted and said, "Do you think I am like you and would argue with a servant?"
Soon, some fruit juice was put on the table for them.
Replace alcohol with this.
On Li Ling's side, someone said, "It's raining really hard today. Professor Dong didn't even say the prayer to stop the rain. It would save you trouble!"
I heard someone among my fellow travelers saying this.
Immediately!
Li Ling burst out laughing and said, "Ask for rain? Bullshit, do you think Dong Zhongshu is a god? If you say you ask for rain, you will ask for rain, if you say it will stop raining, then it will stop raining?"
"It's just that it's going to rain."
"Don't you know that every time I pray for rain during the lecture, I always choose it on a rainy day?"
"If it wasn't a rainy day, he wouldn't pray for rain!"
Hear this.
Several teenagers around him understood the lie and immediately started shouting loudly, saying that Professor Dong was really unworthy of being a role model for doing such a weird thing.
Everyone was talking loudly for a while.
Very noisy.
Soon, the singers came on stage one after another, ready to start tonight's show.
Since it was a newly written opera, most of the guests were fascinated by the opera.
Until the next moment.
A good-looking singer began to sing an opera, walking back and forth in step with the content of the opera.
pity.
She was a little unfamiliar with the new opera. She accidentally sprained her foot and fell down on the stage.
This scene.
It made some good people laugh.
Li Ling took the opportunity to taunt her with some ugly words: "Haha, this lady is spending time with a few men at night. Why is her feet so weak that she can't even stand firmly?"
For a while.
The people around him also burst into laughter.
The singer on the stage wanted to continue performing, but when she sang one sentence, Li Ling and others followed her up with filthy words.
Get it to the end.
The singer couldn't perform anymore and immediately ran backstage to rest.
This.
It also made Li Ling and others become even more unscrupulous, as if they wanted to destroy this place.
After all, this is not their long-lasting happiness.
Li Ling doesn't care if it doesn't affect future business!
He even wanted to set a fire and burn down the music here. It happened that his family's Chang'an music had already been burned down. It was a good balance between the two.
Bu San didn't want to report the matter to Huo Guang.
But now.
Li Ling's behavior has seriously affected the restaurant's continued business.
Can't say.
It will also affect future business.
then.
In order not to affect future business, Bu San, as the shopkeeper, could only inform Huo Guang of the matter.
After Huo Guang learned about this.
Say nothing.
He led his men directly and surrounded Li Ling and the others.
Seeing this posture, Li Ling frowned slightly and said, "Huo Guang, what do you want to do?"
Huo Guang snorted softly and said, "What are you doing? What did you say? Of course I'm going to throw you out!"
The words fell.
He then summoned people to step forward and capture Li Ling.
Although Li Ling has good skills and has practiced martial arts with the flying general Li Guang since he was a child, he is now faced with a group of strong adults who cannot use swords and swords, so he can only be beaten hard in the end.
Li Ling, who was caught, was not afraid and yelled at Huo Guang: "Asshole, Huo Guang, is this how you treat customers?"
"Customer? Are you my customer?" Huo Guang smiled faintly.
Li Ling immediately yelled: "Of course, we spent money to buy wine and watch the show. If you don't give us the wine, why are you throwing us out? Huo Guang, you are so majestic."
However.
Huo Guang asked, "What are you shouting about? Let me ask you, can you people do the crowning ceremony?"
Li Ling and others are not yet fifteen years old.
Naturally, the ceremony cannot be performed.
According to tradition, one has to wait until the age of twenty before the crown ceremony can be held.
During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, due to the war between Han and Hungary, the population was sparse, so the age for the crown ceremony was lowered to about fifteen years old. .
Hear Huo Guang's question.
Li Ling immediately said harshly: "What, your restaurant still stipulates that you can only come after the crown ceremony? Why haven't I heard of this rule before!"
Huo Guang immediately grinned and said, "The rule is that we will only sell you drinks after the ceremony."
"As for throwing it out for you?"
"hehe!"
"That's the decision I just made."
Finished.
Huo Guang didn't care how much trouble his behavior would cause, and immediately threw the kid out in a panic.
Immediately.
Those heirs of the Li family could only follow out in despair. The remaining children who were not the Li family were a little dumbfounded for a moment, standing here not knowing whether to advance or retreat.
Huo Guang glanced at these people and didn't pay too much attention. He just said lightly: "After all, we are all studying at Mr. Dong's, and our classmates have studied together. As long as you don't cause trouble, I, Huo Guang, will pay for today's expenses."
"Of course."
"If you continue to make trouble, I will let you taste what it feels like to be thrown out!"
Say it!
These ignorant young people closed their mouths angrily, fearing that they would be thrown out because they said the wrong thing.
That's really embarrassing.
And the other side.
After Li Ling was thrown out, he stared at Jianle angrily.
Several other heirs of the Li family, such as Li Yu, said at this time: "This Huo Guang is simply bullying others too much. No, our Li family can't bear this kind of bad breath. After I go back, I will tell my grandfather that I will show up in front of His Majesty. I will impeach Huo Guang."
However.
Li Ling yelled, "You guys are still talking nonsense now. Why didn't you say anything just now?"
Li Yu said: "There is no way, brother Ling, this Huo Guang is in his own restaurant, with a large number of people. There are only a few of us, and we are still teenagers. We can't fight."
over theirs. "
Hear this.
Li Ling wanted to kill his brother.
But he is his brother after all.
Li Ling couldn't really use his strength to fight in the nest. He just roared in a low voice: "You must not tell your family about this kind of thing. It's too embarrassing."
"This revenge."
"I want to repay it myself!"
Li Yu frowned and asked, "Brother Ling, if you don't tell your family, how can we get revenge as we are so weak?"
Li Ling flashed a hint of ruthlessness and said: "What happened to our Chang'an Le Restaurant two days ago? I just let this place be happy, no matter what happened. Since my Chang'an Le can be burned, then why should he be happy here?" There won’t be a fire?”
Hear this.
Li Yu was immediately startled and said, "Don't act recklessly, brother, arson is a serious crime!"
The palaces and houses of the Han Dynasty were mostly made of wooden frames.
general speaking.
It is made of wood that has been treated by carpentry and joined together with mortise and tenon. It is not like modern houses that are all made of cement.
The advantage of ancient houses is that even if an earthquake of magnitude 7 or 8 comes, they will remain intact.
Houses with mortise and tenon structures will not collapse. Instead, they will not be affected by earthquakes due to the special unloading force.
But the main material is wood.
The biggest fear is definitely a fire.
This one caught fire.
In all likelihood, the fire cannot be put out.
Therefore.
Arson was a very serious crime in the Han Dynasty. Li Yu was startled when he heard his brother talking like this, which is normal.
However.
Li Ling told Li Yu at this time: "Hmph, how do you think the fire in Chang'anle started out of thin air? I have long suspected that Huo Guang did it!"
"Why didn't it catch fire earlier and later?"
"On the day he arrived, there was a fire?"
"snort!"
"This guy must have done it."
Li Yu was shocked when he heard what Li Ling said. However, after thinking about it for a moment, he shook his head and said, "Sang Hongyang was there that day. Didn't he say that he had nothing to do with Huo Guang?"
However.
Regarding this statement.
Li Ling sneered and said, "These two have been wearing the same pair of pants for a long time. Do you still believe him?"
"If you are a coward!"
"Just stay away from me and don't stop me from doing my job."
While talking, Li Ling pushed Li Yu away.
Li Yu was helpless.
In the end I had to leave in frustration.
However, soon after, Li Ling's revenge failed.
Therefore, the fire in Le Restaurant here did not start, but Li Ling was caught.
then.
Li Ling, who was driven out by Huo Guang, was caught in front of Huo Guang again.
This time over and over again.
Huo Guang was so amused that he glanced at Li Ling contemptuously and mocked lightly: "You really look like a defeated army. Even if you set a fire, you won't even look at what the hell is going on? Are you going to burn the ground!"
Set fire on a rainy day!
That's what this kid can do.
No wonder.
In the future, if five thousand infantrymen dare to fight against tens of thousands of Xiongnu cavalry, they will be emotionally naive.
At this moment, Li Ling fell into Huo Guang's hands, and he immediately said: "Humph, I'm in your hands. I'll kill or cut him into pieces as you please!"
Want to kill or behead?
Ah!
Huo Guang was just a counselor and he didn't dare to resort to lynching.
After shaking his head.
He then calmly ordered Bu San and others: "Lock this kid up first, and let's wait for the Li family to come and get some benefits!"
