"Gou Boy, go see what's going on!" Lu Chen put down his wine glass and ordered to Liu Jing.
"Yes!" Liu Jing bowed to accept the order, directly raised the curtain, pushed open the private door and walked out.
When I came to the door of the private room, I held the railing on the second floor and looked into the hall on the first floor. At this time, the hall on the first floor had returned to its daily business appearance. As for the auction table, it had become a stage. , and the southeast corner is the direction from which the quarrel came.
At this time, many guests who were eating on the first floor below put down their chopsticks and stretched their necks to look there. It is the nature of most people to watch the excitement.
At a table in the southeast, several men who looked like Hu merchants wearing calling talismans and turbans were yelling at shopkeeper Chen. What they meant was that the cooking plate was too small. The price is high, and the attitude is as if he will take action if he disagrees.
Shopkeeper Chen looked like he wanted to calm down the matter and was explaining something.
Liu Jing couldn't help but frown slightly, obviously feeling a little unhappy. If the Changyuan Building was still the property of the Du family, Liu Jing wouldn't be unhappy at all. At most, he would go back and tell his father-in-law about it as a joke. That's it. Now the Changyuan Building is the property of my father-in-law. My father-in-law has said that there is no need to be polite to these "foreign" people.
Seeing Shopkeeper Chen's comforting look, Liu Jing felt particularly unhappy. When these people were doing business in the Tang Dynasty, they had to abide by the rules of the Tang Dynasty. To put it bluntly, this Changyuan Building is now owned by his father-in-law. If they want to eat here, that’s fine, but they must abide by the rules of their father-in-law, otherwise they will not give their father-in-law face.
After Liu Jing took a few glances, he returned to his private room.
"Gouba, what's wrong?" Looking at Liu Jing's angry look, Lu Chen looked at Liu Jing and asked curiously.
"It's a few Hu businessmen who are making trouble!" Liu Jing said very unhappily.
"Oh!" Lu Chen nodded. After all, the blunt words that were vaguely heard just now made Lu Chen feel that these people were not from the Tang Dynasty. "Gouwa, you and Feng Huai go and deal with it!" Lu Chen He looked at Liu Jing and said.
"Yes!" Liu Jing bowed and responded, while Feng Huai put down the chicken drumstick in his hand, stood up and responded.
In fact, these young masters were eating at the banquet. Feng Huai, as a personal bodyguard, and Liu Jing, a personal attendant, were not qualified to eat here. However, Lu Chen actually allowed these two people to eat at the small table next to them, but for this This kind of thing is not surprising to the other princes, not to mention that these princes also like these two children, especially the naive Feng Huai, who is especially loved by these princes.
Liu Jing and Feng Huai left the private room one after another. The sound of "dong dong" footsteps on the floor came from outside the private room. From the sound, you knew that it was definitely Feng Huai running on the floor!
"Brother Lu Xian, are you interested in seeing how these two boys handle this matter?" Cheng Yaojin looked at Lu Chen and said with a smile.
"How about we take a look?" Hearing what Cheng Yaojin said, Lu Chen also became interested and wanted to see how these two boys would deal with those Hu businessmen. In fact, this matter was what Lu Chen wanted to do. A "test" by Liu Jing!
"Let's go together! Let's go together!" After hearing what Lu Chen said, Qin Qiong and others also stood up and left the table. Several people came out of the private room in a loud voice, and they all leaned on the railing and looked down.
At this time, shopkeeper Chen was still talking to the Hu businessmen, who still had a rather "arrogant" attitude.
"Are these Hu merchants in Chang'an City so arrogant?" Seeing the "arrogant" appearance of those Hu merchants, Lu Chen couldn't help but turned to look at Cheng Yaojin and asked, Cheng Yaojin is probably more likely than others to do this kind of thing. A few people know better.
"Brother Lu Xian, don't you know something?" Upon hearing Lu Chen's question, Cheng Yaojin said with some pride.
"Brother Cheng, please let me know!" Lu Chen said cooperatively, raising his hands to Cheng Yaojin.
When Lu Chen said this, Cheng Yaojin was immediately startled, "Brother Lu Xian, you don't have to be so polite!" Cheng Yaojin said quickly. After getting along with Lu Chen for a long time, Cheng Yaojin was somewhat familiar with Lu Chen's temper and temperament. , there are only two possibilities for Lu Chen to be polite to you. One is to talk about something, and after talking, you will get it, and the two of you don't owe each other; the other is that this guy may be plotting against you behind your back, no matter what it is. , Cheng Yaojin didn’t want to meet him.
"Although these Hu merchants have their own business routes, they still need a backer if they want to do business in the Tang Dynasty. Those Hu merchants who can become big in the East and West markets have the shadow of aristocratic families behind them. Of course, there are also the likes of us. The Duke and the Prince!" Cheng Yaojin said without any secret.
Lu Chen nodded. He was not surprised at all by what Cheng Yaojin said. If these Hu businessmen do not have such "backers", unless they want to make a "one-time deal", if they want to stay in Chang'an City for a long time, When doing business here, there must be "contribution". Otherwise, humming, if it is a small business, it will be like that. If it is a big business, I am afraid that if the business is successful, I will not be able to return home!
Judging from the clothes and words of these Hu merchants, they should be people who have been in Chang'an for a long time, and the objects of their "devotion" are obviously powerful, otherwise they would not dare to cause trouble in the Changyuan Building of the Du family.
When thinking about this, Lu Chen suddenly had a thought. Could these Hu Shang be inspired by someone to deliberately come to Changyuan Building to look for trouble?
Just as Lu Chen was thinking about it secretly, Liu Jing and Feng Huai had already arrived behind Shopkeeper Chen.
"Shopkeeper Chen, what's going on?" When he came to shopkeeper Chen, Liu Jing asked directly with a stern face.
"It turns out they are two young gentlemen!" I asked in a deep voice, and my voice was obviously full of dissatisfaction. Shopkeeper Chen was already unhappy at being made by these Hu merchants, which made him even more unhappy, but he turned around and looked When Liu Jing and Feng Huai arrived, shopkeeper Chen immediately greeted Liu Jing and Feng Huai with a smile.
"Don't you know that all the gentlemen are having a drink upstairs? This noise has disturbed the interest of several gentlemen. Can you bear the blame?" Liu Jing looked at Chen with an unhappy look on his face. The shopkeeper asked.
"Yes! Yes!" Shopkeeper Chen was told by Liu Jing. At the same time, from the corner of his eye, he also spotted the young men standing on the second floor leaning on the railing and looking down. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead and temples, and he responded repeatedly.
"I'm afraid that I'll disturb the elegance of these gentlemen, so I'm trying to persuade them here!" Shopkeeper Chen explained quickly.
"What's the explanation for this kind of person?" Liu Jing glanced at the few Hu merchants with their lips curled up and said coldly.
"Who are you?" Several Hu businessmen couldn't help but shouted directly when they saw shopkeeper Chen nodding and bowing to the young man Liu Jing.
Liu Jing looked at the Hu businessmen up and down, and sneered, "Do you know where this place is?" Liu Jing did not answer the questions of the Hu businessmen, but asked instead.
"Isn't it just a restaurant? Why is it that the restaurant is bullying customers and we are not allowed to tell you?" said a middle-aged Hu merchant with a beard.
"The store is bullying customers?" Liu Jing sneered when he heard this, "Everyone, do you think the price of vegetables in our store is the store cheating customers?" Liu Jing turned to look at the crowd watching the excitement and asked directly in a loud voice. .
"This dish is the best delicacy I have ever tasted. The price in the store is not expensive for such a dish!" An old man in gorgeous clothes answered directly, as the old man finished speaking , others nodded in agreement.
"How's it going? Everyone else thinks it's worth the money, but you think the store is bullying customers?" Liu Jing crossed his arms and chest and looked coldly at several Hu merchants, "Also, this is the territory of the Tang Dynasty, you guys Those who come from outside to do business should do your business honestly and abide by the rules of the Tang Dynasty. If you want to eat, just come in and eat. If you don’t want to eat, just get out!" After Liu Jing finished speaking, he directly turned to Feng on the side. Huai winked.
Seeing Liu Jing's eyes, Feng Huai didn't react for a moment, and still stood there as if he were watching a show.
"Brother Huai, throw them all out!" Liu Jing had no choice but to sigh and said to Feng Huai.
"Oh!" After hearing Liu Jing's words, Feng Huai said "oh" and came to the front of several Hu merchants.
Even though Feng Huai was tall and tall, his movements were not slow at all. Everyone felt that a gust of wind passed by them. Hu Shang, who was not short in stature, must have weighed at least 1,670 pounds. As a result, Just like little chickens, Feng Huai pinched the backs of their necks and picked them up one by one. Regardless of Hu Shang in his hands, yelling and kicking, Feng Huai carried the two of them and walked towards them. Enter the gate of Changyuan Building.
"Whoosh!" "Pa" and "Ah!" With continuous sounds, the two Hu merchants drew an arc in the air, and were thrown directly by Feng Huai from the gate of Changyuan Building to the main street of Dongshi. Pedestrians on board were startled by the two men flying out and lying on the ground. They couldn't help but stop and look at the door of Changyuan Building.
As soon as they saw one of them being carried and thrown out by Feng Huai like a little chicken, several other Hu merchants immediately wanted to run away. Can Liu Jing allow them to run away?
Liu Jing directly lifted his leg and stepped on a table, blocking the way of the remaining Hu merchants.
"Shopkeeper Chen, have you given them money for their meals?" When Liu Jing stopped them, the other Hu merchants froze on the spot, but Liu Jing ignored them and turned to look at shopkeeper Chen and asked.
"No!" Shopkeeper Chen was also stunned by Liu Jing and Feng Huai's actions, but after hearing Liu Jing's question, he responded immediately.
"Everyone, it's only natural to give money for meals!" After receiving the answer from shopkeeper Chen, Liu Jing stretched out his hand directly towards those Hu businessmen, and then said with a smile, but Liu Jing's smile was not visible in the eyes of those Hu businessmen. Come on, no matter how you look at it, it’s a devil’s smile.
