Chapter 9 The Four Young Masters of the Red Dust(1/2)
There are people coming and going on the street, and Cuiyunxuan looks quieter than the ordinary buildings.
After Shang Ye entered the door, he saw no promiscuous women vying for favors, and no old madams approaching him with laughter. The interior decoration was simple and elegant, with geishas performing music on the stage with their pianos in hand. Some well-dressed people were sitting on the dining tables in the hall.
There are guests, and the maid accompanying the wine looks pretty and does not appear frivolous at all.
After he stood for a while, a waiter came forward and led him to his seat.
Shang Ye's face remained as usual, he gently unfolded the folding fan he just bought today, took out the prepared speech, and said calmly: "I made an appointment with Mr. Chu to meet here, but he arrived first?"
The waiter lowered his head slightly and said, "I've never seen him before."
"Are you sure? It's Master Chu. Is he really not here?"
The waiter looked suspicious and looked up at Shang Ye, "I'm sure, little man."
"That's weird, this is Cuiyunxuan?"
"Of course it is."
"Is there really no one named Chu?"
"Indeed not."
Shang Ye nodded, turned around and left.
Since it's not here, let's go to a different restaurant. Regardless of whether you can find it or not, if you go back to find a good restaurant, you must kill Xia Houyi. This girl is interesting to say. She looks carefree and does not have the delicate air of a wealthy lady.
, in fact, she is very reserved at heart, otherwise she would be here by herself now...
"Sir, please stay!"
Before Shang Ye was about to go out, a young boy in black ran over and called him.
"Young master, I'm inviting you to the second floor."
"Who invites?" Shang Ye asked doubtfully.
The boy in black didn't reply and left directly.
Shang Ye glanced upstairs, thought about it, chuckled, and walked back.
Now that it's here, let's make peace with it...
He went up the stairs, and the waiter standing at the entrance of the aisle raised his hand and said, "Please wait a moment."
Shang Ye found a seat to sit down and enjoyed the dance music downstairs. Some scattered guests and the women accompanying him were chatting and laughing. When the wine was in full swing, it was inevitable that there would be some beautiful scenery. The upstairs seemed to be more "open" than the downstairs.
"some.
He sat for a while, but no Wenxiang Nephrite came to embrace him. It seemed that the store didn't want to do his business. It's rare for someone to arrange "activity funds", tsk...
Speaking of which, in the previous life, concepts were already very open, and the ban on "virtual prostitution" was still not lifted. In a similar world, cuddling, kissing on the cheek, etc. with characters of the opposite sex was already the bottom line, but it was still
Some guys enjoy it so much that they even publish a video guide detailing the famous prostitutes in the blue and white pavilions from all over the world.
These people have always been regarded as public enemies by female players...
Shang Ye poured himself some tea and drank it for a while.
Suddenly, a drunk man passed by being supported by a maid. The man was holding a wine bottle, his figure was unsteady, and he lay on Shang Ye's table. He drunkenly said: "Hey, brother, why are you drinking alone when you come to this place?
"
Shang Ye smelled the strong smell of alcohol and frowned slightly, "I'm waiting for someone."
"Hey, you are so weird..."
The man said something, then raised his hands, pushed away the messy hair from his forehead, revealing a handsome face, "You are looking for someone, but I am right in front of you, but you don't recognize him?"
Shang Ye was slightly stunned, then stood up and said: "It seems there is a misunderstanding. I am looking for another Mr. Chu. If nothing happens, I will take the first step."
He had just taken two steps when he heard the man say again: "There are naturally other people with the surname Chu in Tianbi City, but there is no second Mr. Chu, especially on this street."
"What do you mean?" Shang Ye turned around and asked.
"Because the land on the entire street belongs to me, half of the shops on it are under my name, and I am also one of the owners of the rest. If you ask Mr. Chu which pavilion you are in, they will only think of one person, and that is..."
He raised the wine bottle in his hand.
The guests and servants on the second floor retreated silently, and for a while, the surroundings were empty.
Shang Ye nodded slightly, "Resign."
The man suddenly sighed and said loudly: "Mr. Shang, was it the eldest lady of the Xiahou family who asked you to come?"
"Master Chu is well-informed..."
Shang Ye stopped and said without looking back.
"How can I be so well-informed? Compared with a friend from the south, I am as deaf as you. You set foot in Tianbi City yesterday, and I just found out about you. By the way, sir, you are a very human being. He is a survivor of Kubo Village and the savior of the Pearl of Yujing Mountain.
Yandu paid his respects and opened an ancestral hall. The death of the legendary leader of the Huangquan Sect seems to have something to do with you..."
"Am I so famous?"
"In the eyes of caring people, Mr. is naturally a great person."
"hehe……"
Shang Ye laughed dryly.
"I can't fault you for being a loyal person when you are entrusted by others. I just want to say that the matter between Xia Houyi and I is really a family matter, and there is nothing... Alas, it is worth mentioning, and it is said that it is a waste of time.
I am rude to meet you here. I am both drunk and confused. When your husband is free tomorrow, I will pay him a visit in your courtyard and have a drink with him..."
He calmed down his expression, folded his hands and bowed.
Shang Ye also turned around and returned the greeting, then said goodbye.
Outside Cuiyun Pavilion, Shang Ye looked back.
Unexpectedly, I would meet Chu Anran, one of the "Four Young Masters of the World" here...
The so-called "Four Young Masters of the Mortal World" is a saying put forward by the spiritual community in the middle of the game. It refers to four wonderful people who are not from the immortal sect, nor from heaven and earth, but have great power in the secular world. They can make those who have high visions.
People at the mountain gate at the top of the mountain praised each other, saying that these four people were extremely remarkable.
I remember that Chu Anran was still young at this time, in his early twenties, and had just taken over the helm of the family. There was a saying in the North to describe the old Chu family, "There are ten wealth in the North, and the Chu family owns three of them."
Many people think that this may be a modest remark. The Chu family is the leader of Beiyan's business community, with countless properties and minerals in various places. The big boss who takes the lead in opening up the wasteland is the Chu family. It is no exaggeration to say that they are as rich as the country.
Shang Ye also knew a secret: half of the food and wages for the border troops guarding the wilderness border were supplied by the Chu family.
However, he remembered that the ancestral court of the Chu family should not be in Tianbi City, otherwise he would have been able to associate it with...
Shang Ye walked to the corner of the street and saw a middle-aged man standing next to Xia Houyi's carriage.
When the man saw Shang Ye coming, he took a step forward and said, "I am the second steward of the Xiahou Mansion. Are you Mr. Shang of Tianshi Dao?"
Shang Ye nodded and admitted.
The middle-aged man added: "Miss has been summoned by the master and has returned home first. I am waiting here to entertain you."
Shang Ye looked around, "Is there anything that can prove your identity?"
"Oh, I was negligent."
The man took out a waist badge from his sleeve and handed it over with both hands.
After Shang Ye took it carefully, he glanced at it and wrote - Marshal's Mansion in Zhenbei!
…
Li Yu, who was working at her desk, glanced at the objects in front of her and said, "The waistband is real."
Shang Ye said: "I think it's true. I just wanted to confirm it with you for peace of mind. After all, she went out with me."
Li Yu put down the brush in her hand, looked at Shang Ye, and said helplessly: "I want you to practice with her, not to fool around with her."
"Why don't you also accompany her..." Shang Ye scratched his forehead.
Li Yu glanced at him with her unique "kind" look, and he shut up.
After that, her eyes closed slightly and she suddenly asked: "What is your relationship with the Dragon Fairy of Yujing Mountain?"
This topic jumped a bit far, and Shang Ye didn't react for a while, "What does it have to do with it?"
"What did you do in the Scarlet Blood Mountain Forest? The Taoist sect is not blind or deaf."
"Let's just be friends... let's be friends." He felt a little guilty.
"Just friends?" Li Yu asked.
"Of course just ordinary friends?"
"I heard that you saved her life several times, or are you just a friend?"
Li Yu tapped her index finger on the table.
Shang Ye smiled and stopped talking.
Li Yu's face was a little serious, "Do you know who Long Shengyu is? His status is so noble that even the apple of the eye of the Holy Emperor is no more than this..."
Shang Ye naturally knew Long Shengyu's situation very well.
