"If it's true, it's guaranteed to be replaced", these four short words seemed so harsh to Cai Xukun's ears.
Cai Xukun's eyes widened to their maximum size, and he stared at Ling Yun with disbelief. His mouth trembled, and he muttered to himself, "This is impossible, how is this possible...How can Jie Yuan be so young?"
Cai Xukun could never have imagined that, standing in front of him, the person he had just ridiculed was actually Jinke Jieyuan who was taking the provincial examination this year.
Ling Yun's unquestioning tone, coupled with the fact that he had recently heard that Jinke Jieyuan was a weak young man.
When he heard this, he didn't take it seriously at all, thinking that it was just a joke promoted by the scholars.
I think Cai Xukun has lived in Annan Mansion for more than 20 years and has gone through so many provincial examinations, but he has never heard of Jieyuan who was in a weak year.
Even last year's Jieyuan, whom everyone calls the youngest Jieyuan in Annan Province over the years, is still a young man in his twenties.
So he was thinking that even if this year's Jieyuan is younger than last year's, he must still be a crowned adult.
Looking at it now, I never expected that not only did he see Xie Yuan himself, but he also severely insulted him.
Thinking of this, Cai Xukun was confused and at a loss as to what to do.
He really couldn't figure out why, why Jinke Jieyuan would be with these shabby beggars.
After thinking about it, he couldn't figure it out, so he could only blame it on his bad luck, and all the unlucky things happened to him.
Not to mention that the guests of the restaurant were snatched away by Piaoxiang Restaurant, the owner of Piaoxiang Restaurant was so bold that he commissioned a charlatan to put down harsh words, saying that he would buy his restaurant for 700 taels, and now he meets Jinke Xieyuan...
Cai Xukun was miserable. He held 800 taels of silver in his hand and didn't know what to make. He looked up at the sky and sighed.
He thought that if he wanted these eight hundred taels of silver, he would have to give up all the hard work he had put in over the years to reach this point, Chun Manlou, which would mean that all his previous efforts would be wiped out and all in vain.
Thinking about this makes my heart bleed.
But if you disagree, you will not only offend Ling Yun, but you may also face Ling Yun's lawsuit.
Even if he felt that he did not sign anything and thought that he was not wrong, as a businessman, how could he know anything about the law?
When he heard that he had broken the law, the condescending and dismissive tone he had just now disappeared.
Unexpectedly, for scolding a group of beggars, I scolded Jinke Jieyuan, who was about to cry but had no tears. It was a bloody misfortune for eight lifetimes.
The trembling hands and cold back at this moment all symbolize that he is terrified and confused.
If he really wanted to go to court, how could he, a common man, defeat Ling Yun, who had a great reputation?
What's more, this person is still so young. Even if he doesn't go to the Yamen, he can still predict what will happen if he does.
He thinks he is right and does not know his own capabilities. He also understands the principle that the people should not fight with the officials.
Is it possible for him to go to a yamen where officials protect him?
It was an abyss that could eat people without spitting out their bones. Just one step there would be enough to shatter him into pieces.
Thinking of this, my whole body trembled.
Facing Cai Xukun's dejection and loss of soul, Ling Yun had no mercy at all, because this outcome was an outcome he had brought upon himself.
Their original intention was just to come here to eat and drink, but because of his superiority, lack of respect, and aggressive tone, they were reduced to a tense situation.
Ling Yun looked at Cai Xukun with a half-smile, and said with emotion, "There must be something hateful about this pitiful person."
He did not use his power to bully others, but Cai Xukun forced him to reveal his identity, and now he is reaping the consequences. It can be said that it is the reincarnation of heaven. Who has been spared by heaven?
Cai Xukun murmured for half a cup of tea, then looked at Ling Yun with red eyes, and swallowed, "Okay! What happened today was all caused by me, Cai Xukun, being arrogant and domineering and defiant. I admit defeat, but please forgive me.
As long as Master Jie Yuan agrees to this thing, I will give up the restaurant to you."
"oh?"
Ling Yun didn't expect Cai Xukun to say that. He was stunned for a long time and said, "Go ahead! As long as it's not too much, I will consider it myself."
In his heart, Cai Xukun's move was nothing more than wanting some benefits or trying to curry favor with him. He felt that as long as it was not an excessive request, seeing how he agreed so readily, it was not impossible to consider it.
Thinking about it doesn't necessarily mean agreeing. Even if Cai Xukun's words are fantastic, if he doesn't want to, then there is no need to talk. After all, the initiative is in his hands.
But Ling Yun never expected that what Cai Xukun said next would shock him.
He laughed at himself, bowed to Ling Yun, and said with a sad smile, "Don't worry, Mr. Xie Yuan, in fact, I have nothing else to do. I just want to ask Mr. Xie Yuan not to change the name of Chunmanlou after buying this store."
However, this is my little request, and I hope Mr. Xie Yuan will grant it."
"oh?"
As soon as these words came out, Ling Yun was shocked.
These words were very different from what I was thinking in my heart. They were simply completely different and completely irrelevant.
At one point, he thought he was hallucinating, so he asked, "Are you sure there is nothing else besides this request?"
Cai Xukun shook his head and sighed, "No, this is just a small request. I hope Master Jie Yuan agrees."
Ling Yun lowered his head and thought for a while, neither rejecting nor agreeing. Cai Xukun was uneasy for a moment, thinking to himself, wouldn't he even be willing to accept such a simple request?
Cai Xukun couldn't help but shout softly, "Master Jieyuan!"
"oh?"
Ling Yun looked up at him and said in a low voice, "First sign and seal."
Seeing Ling Yun's hesitation and solemn look on Cai Xukun's face, I didn't know what he meant at this moment.
But in order not to offend him, I finally reluctantly signed the word "transfer" on the land deed, thinking silently in my heart, hoping that he would agree to it if I was happy!
Although Cai Xukun signed the handover of the restaurant, he still needed to take the land deed to the Yamen, go through the same steps as buying a bookstore, and get the Yamen's seal, so that the handover of the restaurant could be truly completed.
Of course, they can also invite an intermediary, which is also known as the intermediary witness in later generations, to be present, and the land deed signed by both parties will be truly effective.
Thinking of this, Ling Yun did not nod, but said in an unquestionable tone, "Let's not talk about the name of the restaurant for now. Let's arrange for these people to sit down. If you have good wine and good food, feel free to serve it."
Cai Xukun hesitated once, and finally nodded and said, "Okay... okay!"
Ling Yun looked at Yang Ergou and said softly, "Ergou, call everyone in! Eat, drink, and bark as you like. This is an apology to everyone."
"Yes, Master."
Yang Ergou nodded, then turned to look at everyone and shouted loudly, "Everyone, come in! The young master said, eat as much as you want and drink as much as you want. Today everyone goes in, eat with open stomachs, and make sure everyone is full.
