"Brother Donghuang! Brother Donghuang!"
Not long after Lin Lan left, as it was approaching noon, Zhou Donghuang, who had just calmed down to practice, was awakened by a voice coming from outside.
The voice is young and sweet, and it is the voice of a girl.
"This sound..."
Zhou Donghuang opened his eyes, and a memory from a thousand years ago emerged in his mind, making a smile appear on his lips involuntarily.
That year, he was ten years old.
On the street, he saw a five or six-year-old girl being bullied by several boys about his own age. He stood up, grabbed one of the boys and beat her up, scaring away the other boys.
After that, the little girl often came to the Magnolia Chamber of Commerce to play with him, following him and Chen Dandan, calling "Brother Donghuang" on the left and "Sister Dandan" on the right.
"By the way, today is December 19, 1227 in the Ziyun calendar."
"On this day in my previous life, Xiaoyu asked me to go out for dinner... However, at that time, I was in a bad mood because of Chen Dandan's betrayal and the Magnolia Chamber of Commerce's danger, so I rejected her."
Opening the door, Zhou Donghuang suddenly remembered this matter.
Outside the door, stood a girl who looked to be about eleven or twelve years old. She was pretty and had very delicate facial features. It was not difficult to tell that she was a beautiful woman.
Qin Xiaoyu, eleven years old this year, is a collateral descendant of the Qin family in Qingshan Town.
In the past, Qin Xiaoyu's status in the Qin family was average, but since her father broke through and became a Qi-gathering first-level martial arts monk three years ago and became the elder of the Qin family, she has also become the little princess of the Qin family.
"Brother Donghuang, we are invited to dinner in the private room of Yunxuan Restaurant... You can also come with us."
This scene is no different from the previous life.
Originally, Zhou Donghuang wanted to refuse like in his previous life, but seeing Qin Xiaoyu looking at him expectantly, he finally relented and agreed.
"Brother Donghuang, I used to go to Yunxuan Restaurant with my father for dinner. We only went to the herringbone private rooms and never to the ground-sized private rooms... I heard that the ground-sized private rooms were very luxurious and had more dishes, and the minimum consumption was even higher. It takes thirty taels of silver.”
After leaving Yulan Chamber of Commerce and going to Yunxuan Restaurant, Qin Xiaoyu looked very excited.
"Xiaoyu, who's treating me?"
Zhou Donghuang asked curiously.
Most people would be reluctant to treat guests to a private room in Yunxuan Restaurant.
As the son of the president of the Yulan Chamber of Commerce, he naturally knows a little about the consumption of Yunxuan Restaurant.
Lobby, no minimum consumption.
But there is a minimum consumption for private rooms.
The minimum consumption for the worst herring-branded private rooms is ten taels of silver, and the minimum consumption for the better ground-branded private rooms is thirty taels of silver.
Above the ground-level boxes, there is also the best Tian-level box, with a minimum purchase price of one hundred taels of silver.
Even if the heads of those poor families in Qingshan Town usually go to Yunxuan Restaurant to eat, they usually go to private rooms of local brands.
Only when there are important guests visiting, they will be willing to book a private room in Yunxuan Restaurant.
One hundred taels of silver for a meal is a great pressure for the head of a poor family.
In Qingshan Town, an average family of three would only spend a maximum of 18 taels of silver a year.
"It's Zhong Gang from the Zhong family. He made a bet with Brother Qin Fei. If he lost, he wanted to invite Brother Qin Fei to have a meal in the private room of Yunxuan Restaurant."
Qin Xiaoyu chuckled and said, "Brother Qin Fei took me with him and told me that I could bring another person with me. Let me find someone at will... I immediately thought of you, brother Donghuang."
The eldest brother Qin Fei in Qin Xiaoyu's mouth is exactly the eldest young master of the Qin family, 'Qin Fei', who is one year older than Zhou Donghuang.
Whether it is the Zhong family or the Qin family, they are both as famous as the Wang family in Qingshan Town. Each family has a martial arts monk with the second level of energy gathering, who is prominent.
Hearing Qin Xiaoyu's words, Zhou Donghuang felt warm in his heart.
This girl wouldn't forget to take him with her if she had an opportunity like this.
At this moment, Zhou Donghuang even thought that he would take Qin Xiaoyu to the Tianzihao box of Yunxuan Restaurant to have a good meal one day, so that she could have a good time.
He is now the owner of Yunxuan Restaurant, and the entire Yunxuan Restaurant is his property. There is no need to spend money to eat at Yunxuan Restaurant.
Soon, Zhou Donghuang and Qin Xiaoyu arrived near Yunxuan Restaurant.
Yunxuan Restaurant, as the best restaurant in Qingshan Town, is located in the central and prosperous area of Qingshan Town. It occupies a vast area, no less than the family mansion of any family in Qingshan Town.
Under the leadership of Qin Xiaoyu, Zhou Donghuang walked into a private room on the second floor with her.
When he first entered the door of Yunxuan Restaurant, Zhou Donghuang saw Li Xian, the manager of Yunxuan Restaurant whom he had met two days ago. Li Xian was settling accounts at the front desk with his head down and did not see him.
"I have already guessed that if Xiaoyu brings someone here, she will definitely go to the Magnolia Chamber of Commerce to find you, Zhou Donghuang."
As soon as he followed Qin Xiaoyu into the box, Zhou Donghuang heard a familiar yet distant voice in his memory. It was Qin Fei, the eldest young master of the Qin family.
Now, besides Qin Feiyang, there were three other people in the box, all of whom Zhou Donghuang could name in his memory.
The eldest young master of the Zhong family is 'Zhong Gang', the second young master is 'Zhong Yi', and the third young lady is 'Zhong Xiu'.
Of course, in addition to the six of them, there were two maids standing aside, serving them tea and water at any time.
This is also the standard feature of Yunxuan Restaurant’s premium private rooms.
"Sister Xiaoyu, why did you bring him here? In two days, he won't be from the same world as us."
When Zhong Xiu saw Zhou Donghuang, a flash of disdain and disgust flashed in his eyes.
As the third young lady of the Zhong family, Zhong Xiu has also heard about Chen Dandan's betrayal and the crisis faced by the Magnolia Chamber of Commerce in the past few days.
"What do you mean by not being from the same world? No matter what happens, Brother Donghuang will always be my Qin Xiaoyu's brother!"
Qin Xiaoyu glared at Zhong Xiu angrily and said unhappily.
"Everyone who comes is a guest... take your seat first, they will probably come to serve the food."
Just when the atmosphere in the box became a little awkward, Qin Fei spoke at the right time.
Zhou Donghuang was led by Qin Xiaoyu to the table and sat next to her.
In the process, Zhou Donghuang clearly saw that Qin Fei's gaze that glanced at him inadvertently flashed an imperceptible cold light, which contained a bit of jealousy.
"Is this Qin Fei interested in Xiao Yu?"
As a man, Zhou Donghuang naturally saw through Qin Fei's thoughts, and felt a chill in his heart.
If he remembered correctly, Xiaoyu seemed to be only eleven years old this year, right
This Qin Fei is simply a beast!
"Zhou Donghuang, I heard that you killed Wang Feng in the street a few days ago?"
As soon as Zhou Donghuang sat down, Zhong Yi, who was sitting next to Zhong Xiu, asked with narrowed eyes.
"Um."
Zhou Donghuang nodded, "He blocked my way, so I asked him to take his hand back, but he didn't listen, so I could only help him."
Zhou Donghuang said this in an understatement, as if losing one of Wang Feng's arms was just a trivial matter.
In fact, in his eyes, it was really just a small thing.
Zhong Yi didn't expect Zhou Donghuang to answer him like this. His pupils shrank subconsciously and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch violently.
"Zhou Donghuang, do you know... Wang Danhe, the head of the Wang family, has already said that he will use your life to pay for the loss of his son's arm!"
Zhong Gang took a deep look at Zhou Donghuang and reminded him.
"Yeah?"
Zhou Donghuang was a little surprised, "I haven't heard of this... However, in the past few days, I haven't been out at the Yulan Chamber of Commerce, and I haven't seen him come to my door."
"He was probably just joking."
As Zhou Donghuang spoke, he picked up a cup of tea that the maid had just poured on the table and took a sip, his face as calm as ever.
"Zhou Donghuang, are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid?"
Zhong Xiu sneered, "Now, you still have the Magnolia Chamber of Commerce as your backer, and the Wang family dare not touch you easily... Do you think the Lin family in the county will let your Magnolia Chamber of Commerce go if the prescription is leaked? In two days, the Lin family will definitely send someone to take care of you." Your mother, Lin Lan, expelled the Lin family and recalled the Qi-gathering second-level martial arts monk from the Yulan Chamber of Commerce."
"At that time, the Magnolia Chamber of Commerce will exist in name only... Do you think the Wang family will let you go?"
"Your mother, Lin Lan, is just a first-level Qi-gathering martial arts monk. Can she protect you?"
After talking about it, the sneer on Zhong Xiu's face became even bigger.
"Brother Donghuang!"
Qin Xiaoyu's expression changed as she sat next to Zhou Donghuang. Although she had heard some rumors, she was still young and had no idea that the situation Zhou Donghuang was facing now was so difficult.
"Zhou Donghuang, although your mother Lin Lan is a first-level Qi-gathering martial arts monk, the Wang family has no fewer than five first-level Qi-gathering martial arts monks, and even a second-level Qi-gathering martial arts monk."
Zhong Yi looked at Zhou Donghuang, grinned and said: "The Magnolia Chamber of Commerce has lost the support of the Lin family in the county and will cease to exist... At that time, what will you use to fight against the Wang family?"
"This is my business, I don't need you to worry about it."
Zhou Donghuang said calmly. From beginning to end, his calm expression never showed even the slightest ripple.
Seeing this, both Zhong Xiu and Zhong Yi felt that their power was useless.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
But it was the chef of Yunxuan Restaurant who came to serve the dishes in person, and every dish he served was filled with allusions.
However, just as he was about to talk about the allusion to the second dish, he was stopped by Zhong Gang, "We are here to eat, not to listen to your nonsense... please leave."
The chef resigned.
After the dishes were served, Qin Fei invited everyone to eat, as if he were a host.
"I can only come to this famous private room twice a year... Qin Fei, thanks to your treat this time, I can taste the delicious food of this famous private room again."
Zhong Yi said slurred words while burying his head in eating the dishes.
As soon as he said these words, Qin Fei's expression suddenly changed.
Zhong Xiu and Zhong Gang, who were sitting next to Zhong Yi, also frowned slightly. Zhong Xiu even kicked Zhong Yi with his foot, causing Zhong Yi to wake up like a dream.
At this time, Zhong Yi also knew that he had said the wrong thing and looked embarrassed.
"Brother Qin Fei, isn't Zhong Gang treating you to this meal? Didn't you tell me that he lost a bet with you, so he treated you to a treat?"
Qin Xiaoyu looked at Qin Fei with confusion on his face, while Qin Fei smiled awkwardly, "Xiaoyu, Zhong Gang and I have been friends for many years. The bet was just a joke... He and I treat everyone the same."
Zhou Donghuang raised his eyebrows.
At this time, if he still couldn't see that this was a 'Hongmen Banquet' aimed at him, then his thousand years of life would have been in vain.
