Chapter 2: The Wind Rises from Zhongshan Mountain Chapter 41 The Real Young Master
Although it was just a guess, Mr. Zhao was like a shark that smelled blood. How could he let Mr. Wu slip away from his lips?
Whether there is a date or not, give it a try first!
He held Wu Kangyuan's hand tightly and said, "No matter whether this matter succeeds or not, I accept this friendship from Brother Wu. From now on, Wei Ji Xian will always reserve a private room for you!"
"Ah?" Wu Kangyuan was extremely surprised and pointed upstairs, stammering, "You mean, one of the four private rooms?"
Wei Ji Xian has been open for almost three months, but he has never had the chance to go upstairs and always eats in the lobby downstairs.
It’s not that Master Wu has no money, it’s just that there are only four private rooms in total and it’s impossible to get a seat in the queue!
"Not bad." Zhao Hao nodded and said with a smile, "Brother Wu, please go upstairs for dinner."
Some of the guests who dined today left, and a private room happened to be vacant.
"Oh my, how can this be possible?" Wu Kangyuan felt that his blood was boiling! Whoever Zhao Hao gave this generous gift to would be flattered. Especially when it was given to him, the number one fan of Wei Jixian!
For Wu Kangyuan, this is the best gift in the world, and he would not even exchange it for the top spot in the imperial examination.
"I can't even think about eating. For my box, I will fight them to the death!" After a long moment of excitement, he tightly grasped Zhao Hao's hand and said, "Brother, I will go back and write a letter, and then send it to Beijing as quickly as possible. You just wait for good news!"
Having said that, he ran away.
Zhao Hao then patted the anxious Li Jiutian on the side and said with a smile: "This matter has nothing to do with you. I won't take it out on you."
Li Jiutian finally breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his voice to say, "Young Master was a little reckless . He should have spoken nicely and been more careful. Maybe he can recover."
This is the experience that Officer Li summed up from painful lessons.
Zhao Hao didn't care and said, "They are just a few dogs, just beat them up."
“As the saying goes, when you beat a dog, look at its owner. The Xu family will definitely not let you off this time. If they move their fingers, your Wei Ji Xian will fall apart.” Li Jiutian had benefited a lot from Wei Ji Xian, so of course he didn’t want to see them in trouble.
"That may not be the case." Zhao Hao sneered and said, "It's still uncertain who will move whom!"
After saying that, he turned and went into the restaurant.
Li Jiutian stared at his back in amazement, wondering where Zhao Hao got his confidence from.
…
In order to calm the panicked store clerks and ensure the dining experience of the diners, Zhao Hao stayed in the store today for the first time and even presented a short poem to cheer up the diners.
'Although young people may despise Tang and Wu, they do not despise the Emperor of Qin and Emperor Wu of Han. Imagine the hero in his twilight years, where would he live if he was not gentle?'
After hearing this, the diners applauded loudly, saying that Zhao Hao was indeed a man who loved women. Many people on the spot invited him to visit Qinhuai during the day and stay overnight in the Land of Romance.
Zhao Hao naturally declined the offer and said that the poem was written by his father and he was just offering his appreciation to him.
With the precedent of Ci Die, most diners don't believe it...
"This guy likes to hide things..." Ma Xianglan said to herself while playing the piano: "His inner thoughts are harder to guess than those of girls."
At the end of the afternoon, the last table of guests left satisfied, and the waiters hurried to clean up. An hour later, the dinner guests would arrive one after another...
Taking advantage of this time, Manager Fang invited Zhao Hao upstairs, and the two of them entered the private room called "Spring".
After closing the door, Shopkeeper Fang said with a face full of shame: "I have caused great trouble to the boss this time. I am too embarrassed to stay in Weijixian anymore. I will resign from the boss now..."
"What's the reason for that?" Zhao Hao had expected him to say that. He shook his head and smiled, "Shopkeeper Fang, don't take the blame on yourself. They just took a fancy to our Wei Ji Xian, and asking you to pay them back is just an excuse. Even if you, Shopkeeper Fang, weren't there, they still wouldn't let us go."
"Oh, boss, what should we do?" Zhao Hao said this, and Manager Fang naturally decided to stay and stick together.
"Don't worry about it, just take care of the store." Then Zhao Hao ordered, "Tell Captain Yu to find some strong men to take turns guarding day and night to guard against any despicable tricks."
"I understand." Manager Fang's restaurant was ruined in this way. Even without Zhao Hao's reminder, he would be extremely careful.
…
The West Garden of the Duke of Wei's Mansion, also known as Zhan Garden, was named after Ouyang Xiu's poem "Looking at the Jade Hall, It's As If It's in Heaven" and has always been known as "the first garden in Southern Capital."
The garden is full of lush flowers, quiet and elegant, with overlapping peaks, terraces and pavilions, it is really like a paradise on earth.
Then I saw a dozen pretty maids, some plump and some thin, standing in a row on the neatly laid lawn, laughing sweetly, holding the skirts of the person in front of them, and playing the game of "Eagle Catches Chicken" with a young man in 20s dressed in brocade clothes.
"Whoever you catch will sleep with you!"
The young man dressed as an eagle laughed strangely and pounced left and right, trying to grab a "chicken" from behind the "old hen". Seeing the young man pounce, the maids dressed as chickens hid in fear, laughing and screaming.
At this time, an old man who looked like a housekeeper walked into the yard with a man with a bruised face and nose.
When the maids saw that there were outsiders coming, they left the young master and hid in the waterside pavilion laughing.
"Don't go, I haven't caught any yet."
The young man in brocade clothes was so disappointed that he turned around and glared at the butler and said, "You blind bastard, can't you see that I'm in high spirits?"
"The young master is right. I was so angry that I actually spared the young master's pleasure." The housekeeper hurriedly said carefully, pretending to slap himself twice and said, "You are really a blind dog."
"What a fucking bummer."
The one who was called "Little Master" in the Duke of Wei's Mansion was not Xu Pengju's eldest son Xu Bangrui, but his youngest son Xu Bangning. In fact, the former did not live in the Duke's Mansion, but lived elsewhere.
Xu Bangning looked good, but his eye bags were a bit deep, and he looked like he had been drinking too much. He took the towel from the maid, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked down at the man kneeling on the ground. "Who is this?"
"This is my son Feng Gui." The housekeeper explained hurriedly, "He was born and raised in the mansion. He started helping me with errands at the age of sixteen. In the past two years, he has been mainly responsible for finding income for the young master."
"Oh." Hearing that it was change for him, Xu Bangning's expression eased a little and he sat down on the rocking chair by the lake.
The maid took out a white jade wine jug from the ice bucket and poured Xu Bangning a glass of cool and refreshing sweet wine.
Xu Bangning took it and drank two sips, then asked Feng Gui, "Who beat you up like this?"
"My lord, this is what happened..." Feng Gui waited for a long time and finally got the young master to ask him questions. He hurriedly told Xu Bangning about what happened in Caijia Lane, adding fuel to the fire.
"Didn't the young master say angrily that Wei Ji Xian was so popular that it overshadowed our restaurant?" The housekeeper also fanned the flames, saying, "How could there be a restaurant in Jinling City that overshadowed our Xu family's restaurant? That's why I asked him to buy Wei Ji Xian."
"Oh, did I say that?" Xu Bangning talks a lot every day, so how can he remember what he said?
But none of this mattered . What mattered was Xu Bangning's face. He couldn't let a little kid hit him and keep silent!
"He actually dared to hit my people. I will make him regret coming into this world!" Xu Bangning sneered twice, drank up the wine in the glass, shook his hand and threw the priceless jade luminous cup into the lake.
"Make an appointment with Liu Yingfang. I'll treat him to a one-stop service tomorrow."
