To be honest, Li Qinzai still misses the smoky atmosphere when he got together with the dandies.
The dandies at that time, no matter how old they were, were all immature kids. Although they were a little domineering, they were at least real.
Whether you scold your mother or beat someone up, you won't be lenient even when you eat the tofu of the maiko next to you. Touching your bald skin is a normal operation.
But today, Li Qinzai seemed to have stepped into a miniature version of the court.
Everyone was respectful and polite, but there was an air of hypocrisy. The adults had not learned how to be cunning, but they were all pretending to be hypocritical. They all looked like old demons with yellow eyebrows pretending to be Tathagata.
Li Qinzai looked as usual, drank and ate meat calmly, and showed admiration for the dance of the dancers.
After Xue Ne drank a few drinks with the other dandies, his expression felt a little off. He sat next to Li Qinzai and whispered: "These bastards are a little weird today. They are all pretending and laughing so hard that they can't drink this wine smoothly."
!”
Li Qinzai glanced at him and said, "They just grew up."
Xue Ne sneered: "If you really grow up, don't ask your parents for money. Being an idle official and getting a monthly salary counts. Who do they think they are?"
Li Qinzai glanced at him again.
Since this guy started making money from business, his momentum has suddenly increased a lot. Others say that you can't judge a hero by success or failure, but this guy just judges success or failure by money. The face of the nouveau riche is a bit cute.
"You sound so crazy, how much money have you earned?" Li Qinzai asked curiously.
These words finally scratched Xue Ne's itch. Xue Ne laughed and raised his head proudly. Li Qinzai could only see two nostrils staring at him, which was very scary.
A slap was stretched out in front of Li Qinzai's eyes, and he shook it vigorously, like a dog's tail inviting pets.
"Five hundred strings?" Li Qinzai asked.
Xue Ne laughed proudly three times in a row, but he was so awesome that he put his hands on his hips...
"Five thousand guan!" Xue Ne said in a more serious tone: "Since doing this business last year, I have made a full 5,000 guan. Now if my father wants to pay the money from the accountant at home..."
Li Qinzai continued: "It also depends on your face?"
"Ahem, that's not the case. He just pays what he wants and never asks me, but... he probably feels guilty if he pays too much. In the past six months, he has been very kind to me, and he beat me with half the force of before.
Not even that, which shows how much you pity me..."
Li Qinzai opened his mouth. There were so many things to say that he didn't know where to start.
However, Xue Na became more and more proud as he talked, and said with great joy: "To say it immodestly, I am now the backbone of the Xue family. I support everything inside and out by myself, relying on my father's little salary, ha! Being an official has its advantages.
What's the use? It's only practical if you can make money..."
With a slap on the chest, Xue Ne's expression changed from proud to arrogant: "I, the product of the smoke coming out of the Xue family's ancestral grave, counting up to eighteen generations, who dares to be richer than me?"
Li Qinzai couldn't stand listening anymore. If this guy kept talking, Li Qinzai would not be able to help but want to beat him.
"But all you earn is money from selling my beauty cream." Li Qinzai stabbed the knife slowly.
Xue Ne coughed loudly, coughed for a long time, and held the cup with both hands respectfully: "Brother, I respect you, I am a fool. May you be blessed and have a long life, and may you make a lot of money. Don't cut off my goods..."
Li Qinzai drank it all in one gulp and nodded happily.
This guy is finally normal. That's right. He looks like a human now. Just now he was just barking.
In front of the manufacturers, it is not the turn of the first-level dealers to show their prestige.
Gao Qi also came over at this time, and apologized without saying a word: "Brother Jingchu, we were careless today. The original intention of Yudi and Shenyan was to attract more people and make it more lively, but they didn't expect these things to be like dog meat."
I can't get to the banquet, and when I see brother Jingchu, I'm like a mouse seeing a cat, and it's really disappointing when he calls me."
Xue Ne sneered: "Who was patting his chest yesterday and saying that he would be able to do it smoothly for Brother Jingchu?"
Li Qinzai's face turned cold, and he slapped Xue Ne hard on the back of the head without thinking.
"If you don't know how to speak, just keep your mouth shut. Believe it or not, I can do it smoothly for you?"
Xue Na scratched his head inexplicably and couldn't figure out which sentence he said was wrong.
Gao Qi glanced at him with disdain and said, "Brother Jingchu, there is no need for us to waste time with these guys. Why don't the three of us leave first? Find another happy place to go and have a good drink."
Li Qinzai didn't care. The original purpose of going out today was just to get together with Xue Ne and Gao Qi. He didn't know the other dudes very well, and he wasn't used to others being respectful.
"Then say hello to them and let's leave first." Li Qinzai said: "By the way, when people leave, the debt should be settled first and don't do anything immoral. Who among the three of us is the richest?"
Xue Na was stunned and before he could react, Li Qinzai and Gao Qi pointed at him.
Li Qinzai stood up and slapped his butt: "Okay, brother Gao Xian and I will go first, and brother Shenyan will stay behind to settle the bill."
Gao Qi smiled maliciously at Xue Ne, and Pidianpidian followed Li Qinzai and left first.
Coming down the stairs, Li Qinzai and Gao Qizheng encountered a drunken guest. They were staggering about to go upstairs, but they were blocked at the entrance of the stairs.
Gao Qi was also born in the palace of the Duke of Guo. He was an authentic dandy. Except for the current emperor and the royal clan, had he ever given way to others?
So Gao Qi glared and was about to get angry, but Li Qinzai shook his head at him and stepped aside.
Gao Qi snorted angrily and reluctantly gave way.
Li Qinzai felt that it didn't matter. His status was different, and his state of mind was also different. Whether he made grudges with others or showed kindness, there was always a cause and effect. If he had a dispute with someone over such a trivial matter as giving way,
Wouldn’t it mean that he would end up as hopeless as those dandies?
However, Li Qinzai took the initiative to give way, but the other party didn't seem to appreciate it. The drunk young man's face was red, and when he opened his mouth, there was a strong smell of alcohol.
"Settled down... you know the truth!" The guest let out a lengthy wine burp, staggered up the stairs, and murmured: "I am a foreign relative of the Duke's Mansion. Whoever sees you in Chang'an City is not allowed to give me anything."
Give way?"
Gao Qi was furious and immediately swung his fists. Just as he was about to hit him, Li Qinzai grabbed him and shook his head with a smile.
"That's all, why bother with a drunk person?" Li Qinzai said with a smile.
Gao Qi sighed and said, "Brother Jingchu is very well-educated."
"That's not necessarily the case. I'm just more sensible than before. There's no need to make a grudge, so I might as well endure it."
The two were about to continue going downstairs, when Xue Ne, who had just finished paying the bill, came downstairs.
Li Qinzai suddenly heard the drunken guest at the stairs cursing: "Another one is blocking the way, get out of my way! Don't you know who I am?"
Li Qinzai immediately smiled bitterly and sighed, knowing that today was not peaceful again.
What kind of temper does Xue Ne have? He was poor when he had no money, but now that he has money, his temper has become stronger. Can he stand this anger?
As soon as the drunken guest finished speaking, Xue Ne didn't say a word, but raised his foot and kicked the guest violently in the chest.
