Seeing this pair of happy enemies noisy and noisy next to him, just like a flirting couple, at this moment, Lin Yan felt a little redundant.
As if he also realized that chatting downstairs all the time was nothing, Li Zongsheng led the two of them into Yingchun Building.
As soon as he entered the door, a waiter came to greet him and said enthusiastically: "Sir, Miss, please come in!"
As soon as Lin Yan entered the door, he looked around and immediately understood why Li Zongsheng always talked about going to Yingchun Tower.
This place is not decorated like that of a nouveau riche, nor does it have any splendid layout, but everything is well organized and well-proportioned.
If you look closely, you can see a low-key luxury feeling, just like a nobleman with a profound heritage. The nobility in his bones can be seen at a glance.
And no matter how rich those nouveau riche suddenly become, they cannot imitate even a little bit of charm.
Li Zongsheng obviously came here often, and he said in a familiar manner: "The private room on the second floor!"
The waiter nodded quickly when he heard this, and trotted all the way to lead the way. During this period, he reminded a few people to be careful about the steps under their feet, and led them up to the second floor.
Then, the waiter took the three of them to a private room by the window, where they could just see the street view outside.
Li Zongsheng expressed that he was very satisfied and threw a few pieces of silver to the waiter. The waiter quickly thanked him. For them, tips from customers accounted for a large proportion of their income.
The three of them sat down and started ordering. It was Lin Yan's first time visiting a place like this, and she wasn't very familiar with the dishes. As for Xue Nichang, although she is the daughter of a general, she is still a girl after all. She still needs to be reserved when going out, so she simply ordered two dishes.
So the heavy responsibility fell on Li Zongsheng, and he was not polite. He wanted to order chicken, duck, fish, abalone and lobster, everything flying in the sky, swimming in the water, and running on the ground.
It was Lin Yan who persuaded him in time. After all, there were only three of them. They couldn't eat if they ordered too much. It was a waste!
Thinking about the skinny barbarian patriarch and the thin little girl, Lin Yan thought: What a shameful waste!
So, after Lin Yan's persuasion, Li Zongsheng restrained himself and already ordered more than twenty dishes.
While the waiter was serving the food, Lin Yan had time to observe the furnishings in this private room. When he came in, he smelled a faint fragrance. The waiter said that the furniture inside was made of agarwood and was valuable.
On the shelves on one side of the room, there were many ceramics, calligraphy and paintings placed. Although Lin Yan did not understand these, he could still tell that they were all works by famous artists. At this time, they were randomly arranged in the restaurant room, which showed that The owner of this restaurant is so generous!
Just one restaurant revealed such luxury. Lin Yan couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Everyone says Chang'an is good! Money is really charming. I don't understand the world of rich people."
To say that Yingchunlou is famous, not only is the decoration in the store very stylish, but the food is also served very quickly. After a while, the dishes they ordered before were brought out one after another by the waiters.
Looking at the table full of dishes, Lin Yan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, thinking: Can you finish this?
In fact, what he didn't know was that for these dignitaries and wealthy young men in Chang'an City, they never had to finish their meals.
If you think it tastes good, you can taste it a few more times. If you think it doesn't taste good, just throw it away. For them, this is nothing to worry about.
As for waste? Huh, who made them rich? Where there is money there is wasted capital.
It is said that the former Queen Mother had to eat more than a hundred dishes at a meal, and no dish could be repeated. She would take one or two bites of each dish and then throw it away.
What happened later was that the previous dynasty was overthrown, and the empress dowager who ate more than a hundred dishes per meal was forced to flee. She could not even eat a cornbread, and she was starved to death due to hunger and cold.
Lin Yan could only sigh: You deserve it! Who asked you to waste food!
Although it was a bit difficult to see the food on this table, Lin Yan still secretly encouraged himself to eat more later and try not to waste it.
Li Zongsheng raised his glass and said to Lin Yan and Xue Nichang: "Brother Lin Yan, Nichang, in order to celebrate my entering the top 16, I also wish you good results in the future. Come on, cheers!"
Lin Yan: "I'm still young and don't drink."
Xue Nichang: "I'm not familiar with you."
Li Zongsheng: "..."
The way he held the wine glass by himself was a bit funny. Fortunately, Lin Yan couldn't bear to let him hang out like this. After all, he spent money on this meal, right?
So Lin Yan poured a cup of tea considerately and clinked a cup with Li Zongsheng. Xue Nichang on the side also raised his glass and took a sip.
Then Lin Yan asked Li Zongsheng: "By the way, since it's a celebration, why don't you invite a few more friends to come! Don't worry about me."
Li Zongsheng looked a little embarrassed and muttered: "No...I am because..."
At this time, Xue Nishang on the side said lightly: "Because he has no friends."
Lin Yan covered her mouth in surprise, and then looked at him with sympathy.
Li Zongsheng: "..."
The food was already on the table, and the three of them were ready to feast. Lin Yan picked up a piece of tender fish, brought it to his mouth, tasted it, and praised: "It's delicious!"
While the three of them were eating and chatting, there was a noise outside the door, as if someone was walking towards their room, and the waiter was trying to persuade them.
"Mr. Xu, this private room by the window is occupied. I'll find a better one for you right away. Do you think it's okay?" the waiter persuaded, almost crying by his expression.
He was just a little boy who could not be offended by anyone inside or outside the house. While he was dragging him along, he had already asked the others to go and greet the shopkeeper. If any conflict really breaks out, I can't afford it.
Then I heard a voice that wanted to be beaten, and it sounded like the second generation ancestor: "The young master used to sit in this room when he came here, why can't he do it now? Ah! No matter who he is, today Everyone has to give up their rooms to the young master!"
Listening to the domineering voice outside the house, Li Zongsheng curled his lips and said disdainfully: "I hate this kind of arrogant and domineering second generation ancestor the most!"
Lin Yan thought to himself: Aren't you also the second generation ancestor?
The manager of this restaurant came very quickly. He was a rich middle-aged man in brocade clothes, and he looked very shrewd.
Facing the shopkeeper of the restaurant, the man known as Mr. Xu was not as arrogant as he was with the waiter before, but he still insisted on sitting in this private room, and the shopkeeper was trying to stop him.
Then Mr. Xu said: "Otherwise, I will ask the servants behind me to discuss it with them. Maybe they will be happy to let me out!"
The shopkeeper couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said to himself, what's the point of discussing this? Looking at the ferocious looks of the servants you brought, they are obviously here to drive people away!
The man pulled the shopkeeper aside with his arms around his back, while his servants walked towards the room where Lin Yan and the others were sitting with unkind expressions on their faces.
The three people in the room had long heard the noise outside, but they were not afraid at all. Leaving aside Lin Yan, the other two people are considered to be people of high status in Chang'an City, and a mere evil young man cannot scare them.
At this moment, the three of them were gearing up, preparing to teach those blind servants a lesson as soon as they opened the door, and at the same time educate the evil young man to keep a low profile.
As the door of the room creaked open, Lin Yan and the others finally saw the person coming clearly. Regardless of the ferocious-looking servants, their eyes were fixed on a fat man behind those people. His eyes looked a little weird.
I saw that the man was wearing an emerald green hat and a pink robe with a white tulle lining. With such fresh and refined attire, his identity was easily revealed. He was the one who had been admitted to the academy before. Xu Dahai, who "stood out in the limelight" in the movie.
Obviously the latter had also seen them. After all, they were both in Chang'an and had met them during the admission examination. Although they had not communicated much before, they could still recognize them at a glance.
At this time, his evil servants had already entered the room. One of them stepped out, pointed at Lin Yan and the others and said viciously: "Hey, this is my young master's private room. I advise you to be smart and get out of here..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw a pink ball rushing in front of the evil servant with lightning speed, and then kicked it hard. The evil servant was unprepared and fell to the ground. , just lying at Lin Yan's feet.
The evil servant was suddenly attacked. Just as he was about to speak out his words, he turned around and saw Xu Dahai's fat face. He hurriedly swallowed the "Poems and Songs" on his lips and said tremblingly: "Young Master... ...Master?"
Xu Dahai pointed at his nose and cursed: "You stupid thing! Didn't you see that these are my classmates in the academy? Ah! How did I teach you to be kind to others, but you dare to hit me?" He uses his reputation to bully others, and if he rebels against you, get out of here!"
The evil servant couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved when he heard this, and thought: How did I know that here is the young master's classmate! Besides, didn't you ask me to chase people away just now, young master? Now it's my fault.
Seeing the resentful look in the servant's eyes, Xu Dahai couldn't help but shouted angrily: "Quick, quick, get out of here! Don't embarrass me here!"
"But Master, we still have to protect you..." the servant continued.
"Young Master, I met my classmates here, and we happened to be gathering together. Why are you following me? Besides, Young Master, I am so wise and powerful, do I need your protection? Go back home quickly!" Xu Dahai exhorted me.
When the servant saw this, he could only get up and walked away in despair with the others.
Xu Dahai turned his head with a smile, looked at Lin Yan and the others and said, "We are all classmates, don't you mind eating something together?"
The three of them did not expect such a development. They thought there would be a fight, but unexpectedly it ended hastily. However, they stretched out their hands to avoid hitting the smiling man, and he was still a classmate, so they asked him to sit down.
Xu Dahai originally wanted to sit next to Xue Nichang, but seeing the latter's murderous eyes, he had no choice but to sit next to Li Zongsheng angrily.
Then Xu Dahai raised his wine glass and said, "Meeting is fate. Come on, let's have a drink!"
Lin Yan: "I'm still young and don't know how to drink."
Xue Nichang: "I'm not familiar with you!"
Xu Dahai: "..."
