Qiu Yizhi saw these dishes being brought down without even using his chopsticks. He felt a little pity in his heart and said, "Jiu Gong, I have never been in a restaurant for a day and I don't understand the rules. Should these dishes be thrown away?" Have you fed the pigs?”
Jiu Gong smiled and replied: "Young master, you are just swearing. The people who run restaurants are not stupid pigs. How can they be willing to throw away such good food? They eat it themselves. Those who can't eat are fed with swill." Where's the pig?"
"Hahaha! That's it, that's it!" Qiu Yizhi laughed loudly, "There is knowledge everywhere. Even if you open a small restaurant, you can have so much attention and so much truth. This junior has learned a lot today. ”
He Jiugong said, "Young master is making fun of me again. If others don't know, don't I, He Jiugong, know?" He lowered his voice, "Lingnan King Zuoluan is about to be defeated. The biggest credit among them is, It must be the young master, it depends on how the emperor rewards him, maybe... "
Qiu Yi interrupted hurriedly: "No, no, no, today we only talk about personal affairs, not state affairs. Let's all have a good time and drink!"
He Jiugong is an old man in the world and a very knowledgeable person. Hearing what Qiu Yizhi said, he quickly changed the subject and said cheerfully: "I didn't expect that the young master also invited Captain Li to come over... Speaking of which, he is equal to my official Zhou, How can I, a servant, be on an equal footing with him?"
Qiu Yizhi immediately took over the conversation and said, "This is going to be difficult to handle. How about I start the meeting during this meal and Jiu Gong is responsible for collecting the money?"
He Jiugong also joked: "That can't be done. It's hard to invite so many people over. Isn't it too cheap to just give this favor to the young master?"
Qiu Yizhi and He Jiugong said this to each other, while Liu Qing and Zhao Fuyi lowered their heads to drink tea and occasionally exchanged a word or two.
A few people talked for a while, but then they heard hearty laughter coming from downstairs: "Master Qiu is treating us, this is a rare event. Could it be that the sun rises in the west, and the Supreme Master also wants to recite 'Amitabha'?"
Qiu Yi heard Lin Shuhan's voice and hurriedly invited him in, saying: "I thought Mr. Lin was not easy to invite, but I didn't expect to come so early. Is Zhao Chengxiao here too?"
Lin Shuhan was arrogant in his book business. He raised his eyes and glanced at everyone present. He just nodded as a greeting. He chose a seat next to Qiu Yizhi and sat down. He said, "Master Qiu is treating us to a guest. In this prosperous time, Lin came here to participate in the grand event, how could he be left behind? Zhao Chengxiao was also coming, but now his subordinates were involved in the defense of 'Qingya Temple', so he had to go to 'Qingya Temple' to watch. Look, it will be here soon.”
Just as Qiu Yizhi was about to answer, he heard someone shouting from downstairs: "Is brother here?"
After hearing this, Qiu Yizhi immediately stood up, opened a window, and looked downstairs following the sound, only to see a young man wearing bright clothes and an angry horse raising his head and shouting loudly toward the upstairs - it was Li Shengjie himself.
Everyone here, with the exception of Lin Shuhan, has only heard of Li Shengjie's name, but has never seen his face. They only know that there is a young captain who is very respected by the current emperor, but they don't know what his appearance is, and they all want to find out. Go out and see Li Shengjie's style - it's just that they are calm people and respect their status, so they don't lose their composure.
Qiu Yizhi did not have such taboos. He waved his hand and said, "It's right here. Dear brother, come up quickly."
After a while, Li Shengjie walked in.
He grew up in Fusang, Japan, and was the apple of the eye of the old captain Li Zhi. He didn't understand the humble and polite etiquette of the Central Plains. He just bowed to everyone and then found a seat by himself.
Everyone was a little surprised to see him looking so conceited, but for Qiu Yizhi's sake, they didn't ask him on the spot.
After a while, Zhao Chengxiao also came in a hurry.
Seeing that he was late, Qiu Yizhi deliberately joked: "Brother Zhao is now the commander of the Royal Forest Army. He is very busy with military affairs. Everyone is eating, but you are the last one to arrive. You have to drink three drinks as a penalty!"
Zhao Chengxiao had some quarrels with Qiu Yizhi's uncle Zhao Fuyi. He had said hello to everyone, but Zhao Fuyi was left out. Then he replied to Qiu Yi: "Your Majesty, these words are a bit harsh. I'm sorry. Hurry up and you will arrive. Although I dare not say it is fast, I will not be the last one. "
As he was talking, a person suddenly jumped into the air under the "outer building", twisted his waist in the air, and actually flew in through the open window sideways - such a strong and flexible movement is rare in the world, and it provokes Everyone applauded.
Qiu Yizhi looked intently, but it was his adopted brother Yuchi Lianghong. This Yuchi Lianghong is known as the best in the world in martial arts, so it is not surprising that he has such light kung fu.
So Qiu Yizhi said flatteringly: "Who do I think Brother Zhao is talking about? It turns out to be the eldest brother! Why don't you just open the door and come in through the window? Now the security in Jinling City is tight, don't let the city patrol The soldier was caught as a burglar!"
Yuchi Lianghong adjusted his silk robe and bowed before saying: "I have already said hello to both the black and white people, asking them to calm down these days. Now in Jinling, let alone gangsters and gangsters, they are just beggars. The beggars are all gone, where are the burglars? Besides, even if the soldiers patrolling the city see me, will they be able to stop me if I want to leave? "
What he said was so heroic that Qiu Yizhi was moved and said: "Okay! Brother, what he said is really bold!"
Yuchi Lianghong said with a smile: "Brother Xian Meng said that I have courage. But brother Xian seems to be a bit stingy. Look, you have invited so many people to dinner, how come you have missed me?"
How could Qiu Yizhi miss Yuchi Lianghong, his sworn brother who had experienced life and death with him? He just felt that Yuchi Lianghong was the emperor's personal bodyguard now. If he was invited to come out, if something happened to the emperor, he would not be able to bear it. Even if nothing happened, the crime of "a foreign minister secretly befriending a close servant" It may not sound good either.
Qiu Yizhi didn't want to say this in front of everyone, so he just said: "Look at Brother Zhao now, he is so busy that he is so busy. How can I dare to invite a bodyguard like him who is the number one in the world? ?”
Yuchi Lianghong said with a smile: "Brother is stuttering and clever. Brother Yu can't compete with you. However, Brother Yu is very narrow-minded. He only thinks that he thinks that I, a martial artist, eats too much, so he refuses to invite me. Come on, dear brother, you must first Three drinks as a penalty!”
Qiu Yiyi patted her chest: "What's the big deal with three glasses of water and wine? But my brother was the last one to arrive - no matter what the reason is - you can't escape the three glasses of wine as punishment for the latecomer."
Yuchi Lianghong replied: "It's easy to talk! Bring the wine!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he asked the shopkeeper who was waiting outside the door to bring the food and wine to the table.
Seeing them waiting outside the door, Qiu Yizhi was afraid that what everyone said would be heard, so she said: "Have the food and drinks been served here? Just go downstairs after they are served. If anything happens, I will naturally call you. ”
The shopkeeper glanced at Qiu Yizhi timidly, and then furtively glanced at He Jiugong. Seeing that he was also waving to him, he withdrew and closed the door again.
Qiu Yizhi glimpsed from the crack in the door that there were no other guests on the second floor, so he felt relieved. He personally took the cups and wine bottles, poured two more glasses of wine, and drank three glasses in a row with Yuchi Lianghong and others.
Qiu Yi's drinking capacity was mediocre, but after three glasses of wine, her face was already flushed. She poured the wine for everyone present, bowed to everyone, and said, "Everyone, we all know each other. Some don’t know each other, some are close, and some have hatred, but everyone is here because they are looking at my Qiu Yizhi’s face. How can I show respect? “Let’s do it first! , raised his head, and poured a glass of wine into his belly.
When everyone saw this, they also drank it in one gulp.
After leaving, everyone toasted and drank wine. The table full of dishes had not yet been touched, and everyone present had already drank three cups and two cups, and some of them who were less able to drink were already tipsy.
Everyone drank freely from noon to Youshi, and they dispersed until they were very drunk.
Although Li Shengjie was not the lightest drinker here, he was the least experienced. Everyone toasted to the "young captain" one by one. He refused everyone who came, but soon he fell drunk and fell asleep on the floor. After sleeping for an hour, Li Shengjie woke up. At this time, most of the drunkenness had dissipated, and he was the most sober among them.
Seeing that everyone was about to leave, he said: "Goodbye, we didn't even drink much, why did they all disperse?"
Everyone laughed loudly after hearing this, and said half-flattery, half-jokingly: "The young captain is still drunk. I'm afraid I'm going to die if I drink more. We'd better go home and talk about it another day." "
After hearing this, Qiu Yizhi also wanted to make a joke. When he heard the word "go home", he suddenly remembered something. He hurriedly walked to Li Shengjie and said in his ear: "Brother, I'm drunk today and can't discuss anything." It’s a big deal. You have time to come to Mr. Lin’s Bansong Village tomorrow. I have something to tell you.”
Li Shengjie was a little suspicious after hearing this and asked, "Is there something important that we can't talk about today?"
Qiu Yizhi said with a drunken smile: "Don't ask today, we will know tomorrow." After saying that, he put a hand on Zhao Chengxiao's shoulder and staggered towards the door, not knowing whether How to get back to "Bansong Village".
Qiu Yizhi had a great time drinking the wine, so it was different from the dull wine that drowned her sorrow. She got drunk slowly, lightly, and woke up early. After sleeping soundly for a night, she woke up early the next morning and felt all over her body. Feeling refreshed and happy.
After freshening up briefly, Qiu Yizhi pushed the door open and went out, only to see several female relatives outside the door busy with something unknown.
When Wu Ruofei, one of the female relatives, saw Qiu Yizhi coming out, he immediately put down what he was doing, walked up to him and asked: "What kind of wine did you drink yesterday? My Mr. Lin lay down after he came back, and he hasn't done anything yet." Get up. My husband is a scholar, unlike those who practice martial arts like Zhao Chengxiao and Yuchi Lianghong. Why don’t you cover him up when you go out to drink?”
Qiu Yizhi smiled and said: "When others drink him, of course I have to block the drink for him. But it was different yesterday. He was the one asking for a drink. How can I stop him? But don't worry, Miss Wu. Yesterday's drink After the third inspection, Mr. Lin got excited and wrote a beautiful article on the spot. It is still in the "Yuanwai Building". Miss Wu quickly sent someone to get it there. This is a masterpiece in the world. , Don’t take advantage of the people in the restaurant.”
Qiu Yizheng was talking eloquently, but saw He'er holding a broom in the distance, sweeping fallen leaves in a small pavilion, and said to Wu Ruofei: "Okay, Miss Wu, I know what I'm talking about. Yes. Sorry, it’s not convenient for me here. Could you please trouble Miss Wu to invite He’er to come and talk?”
Wu Ruofei said angrily: "Master, you are so rude. I am still angry, so you have to order me to do something." After that, she turned around, whispered a few words to He'er, and pulled her over. .
