Liang Chuan thought well. There were not only Khitan spies in this city, but also Dangxiang people, Dali people, Tubo people, and people of all kinds from Qingyuan. Surprisingly, everyone lived in peace all year round. He Shui, because everyone has reached a consensus that it is not easy to go out and hang out. It is better to have one more friend than one more enemy when going out. When it comes to work, it is enough that everyone has a tacit understanding and can communicate with each other, rather than trying to drive each other out. So why do you work so hard? The future is not very bright.
Moreover, Quanzhou Prefecture is a very magical place. It is extremely tolerant. People who come here will be tainted with a strong smell of copper. It seems that making money here is the king, and other deep hatreds can be put aside.
This is also the reason why Yelv Chongguang and his group of Khitans have lived a relatively stable life for decades.
Yelu Zhongguang didn't mind whether their investigation would upset this balance, because they had already surrendered to the enemy. It would be better for them to take action first and find out the information before it was revealed by spies from other countries. It might also be safer for them.
Liang Chuan was relieved to see that the living conditions of Yelu Chongguang and his party had improved a lot. If you want the horses to run, you must feed them. Simply squeezing and milking them will not work. The corruption in the Liao Kingdom caused the high-level officials to ignore their living conditions and indirectly benefited themselves. I could not follow their old path.
Yuehua Restaurant is the most high-end restaurant in Qingyuan. At night, the lights are hung high, and the bright lights illuminate the restaurant as if it were daytime. All kinds of people, including merchants in silk robes, are chatting with each other outside the door, and some servants. Dressing up with low eyebrows and low eyebrows, women wear colorful clothes to add luster to men's faces, although most of them do not sit at the same table.
Liang Chuan and the girl Liu Jinyan visited this hotel once. Although they had a simple meal, the porcelain dishes were antique, solemn and elegant, and the chopsticks and bowls were exquisite in vermilion with gorgeous cloud patterns. Liu Jinyan said that this restaurant would be good even in Bianjing. , all used Longquan celadon from Zhejiang Road, which is as moist as jade. Liang Chuan thought they were all the same. Would it taste better this way? No, it would be more expensive. .
There are more than ten wine tables on the first floor of the restaurant, with the sound of people drinking and drinking. The waiting room is busy, making it a lively scene.
Liang Chuan stood at the door when a waiter came up to him and asked, "Has your guest reserved a table? If not, we have to wait. There are no free tables in our store at the moment."
Liang Chuan saw that the restaurant's business was so good that he wanted to open a hotel. However, he could only cook some home-cooked dishes, and he could only imagine how delicious they were compared to Da Zhang Lao's. He took out the name card given to him by Gao Chun from his arms and handed it to the clerk.
The waiter took out the note in the ticket and took a look at it. He laughed and said, "Oh, it turns out that Mr. Gao's distinguished guest is disrespectful and disrespectful. Sir, please come with me." After saying that, he opened the way and led Liang Chuan straight upstairs. .
The scene on the second floor is obviously different from that on the first floor. Most of the people eating and drinking on the first floor are ordinary county residents. Their clothes are considered ordinary, and the food and wine they eat are pretty good. People are crowded and sitting in the lobby. The customers on the second floor all sit in private rooms. Through the open square door, the people inside are well-dressed, and there are only three or five people at a table. The dishes on the table are exquisite, and they look high-ranking at first glance.
Liang Chuan was quite surprised that the waiter at Yuehua Restaurant could actually read. He followed him not into the private room on the second floor, but continued up to the third floor!
There are only four wing rooms on the third floor, east, west and south. Each room is blocked by a splendid screen, so that no one can see the scene in the wing room. The noble man is tall and strong. He is already standing in front of the door of the wing room on the west side. Liang Chuan came, smiled bitterly on his face, and greeted him enthusiastically. When Liang Chuan saw that this boy was usually the one who fawned over him, not him, he had such an unnatural look on his face that he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.
When Liang Chuan saw this, he immediately stopped, clasped his fists deeply, and said with a smile: "Master Gao!"
Gao Chun quickly supported Liang Chuan and said with a face of complaint: "Brother, you are finally here. When my father saw that my brother had not arrived, he urged me again and again. He was afraid that he would encounter something on the way and be delayed, so he asked me to go and pick him up. Woolen cloth!"
Liang Chuan said in a panic: "This can't be done. I just met a few friends along the way and I don't want to cause trouble to Master Gao."
Gao Chun was startled and patted his head and said: "Hey, look at what I did. I should have sent a car to wait for my brother. Don't talk about a tall man. I'm not a bad official. I The elder brother who is a serious official must call his brother "big brother". If you call me like that again, it will slap my face. Stop talking. The wine is warm and warm, and I am looking forward to my brother's arrival. Let's start the banquet. Let's go, let's go. Sit inside."
Gao Gan, the lofty and pure eldest brother, is actually better than his younger brother. He knows how to deal with favors and affairs very well, and his official career is getting bigger and bigger.
What was in the box was magnificent, even more gorgeous than Shen Yuzhen's best boudoir in the Jinlou back then. It was all red sandalwood furniture and fine gold wire from Ge Kiln. Old Man Gao was wearing a pair of blue silk silk shirts. The futou looked particularly solemn, and it was completely different from the miserable and embarrassed look.
When Old Man Gao saw Liang Chuan come in, he immediately stood up as excitedly as if he had seen his own son. He stretched out his hands and walked over slightly to hold Liang Chuan's hand. Gao Chun's wife Liu stood beside him and immediately stood up. Helped him up.
Liang Chuan just had the opportunity to take a closer look at this old man who was "full of energy" today. His eyebrows looked similar to those of senior officials, but they were not very similar to this handsome Gao Captou. Liang Chuan trotted two steps and hurriedly supported Old Man Gao, and then The two of them were not familiar with each other at all, but they both pretended to be like long-lost relatives meeting each other. Gao Chun, who was standing next to him, felt a little embarrassed, as if he was the outsider and the superfluous person.
"Be careful, old man. How dare you bother me like this when your boss is just recovering from illness? I should have come to visit you earlier. Damn it!" Liang Chuan said it sincerely, with no trace of acting at all.
Old Man Gao also gave full play to the unique experience of a Jianghu veteran. He took Liang Chuan's hand and sat down at the main seat. He said: "When I was in Huzhou, the incompetent boss often mentioned that all the wealth I can get now is due to Xinghua. It was given by a brother from Liangchuan. I never thought that I would not be so lucky. I really couldn’t live in Huzhou, so I dragged my family back to Qingyuan. Before I could settle down, the thieves were thinking about me.”
At this point, Old Man Gao inadvertently glanced at Gao Chun, who had just pulled out the chair and was about to sit down, and gave a dry cough. Gao Chun was so frightened that he stood aside again respectfully. When Mrs. Liu saw her husband standing, she walked over to Gao Chun.
Oddly enough, apart from having a little more beard, Gao Chun is tall and majestic. It is no exaggeration to say he is handsome. However, Liu is much less handsome. He looks more like a scholar marrying a village woman who farms in the countryside. , the two of them looked awkward standing together.
Gao Chun didn't seem to like Mrs. Liu either. When he saw Mr. Liu standing over, his face straightened up on the spot, and it was so dark that he could drip with ink. Liu stood with a strong face, feeling as if he was used to it.
The relationship between husband and wife is a bit delicate.
Old Man Gao continued: "You are our great benefactor. You helped my son a lot earlier, and then you saved my old bones. We, the Gao family, have nothing to repay. In the future, on this three-acre land of Qingyuan, As long as my old bones are of use, I will risk my life to get them for you!"
Although Old Man Gao looks like a treacherous villain, he can't resist his good acting skills. He patted his chest and stunned Liang Chuan until his blood boiled.
Liang Chuan did not dare to take credit, and said with a look of shame: "Mr. Gao, it's a long story. Brother Gao Gan and I have a life-long friendship. He was the leader of the mountain people who rebelled and put down the rebellion. He led the officers and soldiers to save the country." We are in peace, and the good words are just sent to me. Besides, it was all thanks to one person that I was able to save the old man and capture these strong men at Yongchang Inn that day."
Old Man Gao shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't call me a useless kid..."
Before Old Man Gao finished speaking, Liang Chuan interrupted him and said, "It's not Captain Gao. Although it's crucial that Captain Gao felt it in time, the first contribution should be recorded on the head of Captain Gao's wife. If not, Madam Gao, with my own strength, there is nothing I can do to save the day!"
Old Man Gao looked at a loss, and turned to look at Gao Chun, who was in cold sweat and lowered his eyebrows and dared not speak to Liang Chuan. Then he looked at Mrs. Liu. Mrs. Liu did not dare to speak, but her hands below kept gesturing towards Liang Chuan, meaning to tell him not to Stop talking nonsense.
Old Man Gao immediately understood this situation and scene.
His voice was a little colder, and he said: "How come you have never mentioned this matter? I thought you, the head-catcher, solved a shocking crime and bravely saved your biological parents in the turmoil of robbers. I didn't expect you to do it." You have to rely on your own wife, and you haven’t even said a single kind word to your own wife, what a Qingyuan number one arrester!”
Ms. Liu was most afraid that her father-in-law would speak nice things for her, because the more he spoke, the more her husband, a very ambitious man, would hate her, which would only backfire. It is said that every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. The stronger the woman in a family is, the more useless the man is. How can a noble and pure-blooded man be so angry?
Mrs. Liu hurriedly explained: "No, Gao Lang and I also said a lot of good things that day. Dad, please don't think too much."
Gao Chun just stood aside and said nothing.
Seeing Old Man Gao blowing his beard and staring, he was about to have a seizure. Liang Chuan also felt very unhappy. How dare you, a grown man, to compete with your wife? You must be too petty. He simply said: "Mrs. Gao, you Why don't you tell me, I have dealt with this kind of bandits before, but my experience is not as good as yours, how come you know the habits of these bandits so well?"
