Cai You was an official fanatic and wanted to become bigger and stronger, even to replace his father Cai Jing.
But Cai Jing is an old fox. He knows that he is in a high position at this time. If his son also rises to the top, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of officials with cold nature.
So Cai Jing has been suppressing his son and not giving him a chance to come forward.
Cai You may not understand here, or perhaps he understands but pretends not to understand, and is still frantically trying to get to the top.
Everyone in the world knows that if you want to get high, you have to spend money. If you don’t have money, who will speak for you?
Just because you are the son of Xianggong Cai? Xianggong Cai has many sons!
Cai Jing, who knows very well what kind of thing his son is, will certainly not give him a lot of money to hinder him.
So when Cai You learned that someone was offering a large sum of money for some reason, he happily accepted the invitation and came to Fanlou.
Moreover, the person who gave the money also said that he wanted to make friends with Liang Zhongshu, so he also brought them over with great care.
"This is my master, the great hero of Guanzhong."
"This is Senior Brother, Lin Chong, the chief instructor of the Forbidden Army."
Cai You bowed his hand to Zhou Tong and looked pretty good. After all, Zhou Tong was very famous, and the turbans all liked to imitate Li Bai and write these knight-errant poems.
As for Lin Chong, he simply accepted his salute.
After all, the title of Chief Instructor of the Forbidden Army sounds great, but in fact he is just a minor official, and he is in the ranks of military generals.
In the eyes of a scholar-bureaucrat like Cai Youliang Zhongshu, it was really as insignificant as the sand of the Ganges River.
Accompanying him were Ximen Qing, Chen Jingji, and many attendants.
Naturally, there was no room for one table, so Li Yunze immediately called out, "Open a few more tables and invite all the heroes and famous officials to take their seats. Remove all the dishes on the main table and replace them with new ones, the best ones in your family."
After hearing this, Cai You nodded slowly to express his satisfaction.
If you can't even afford meals, don't mention anything else.
The private room is not just one room, but a large suite with partitions and compartments.
The main table here is naturally Li Yunze, Cai Youliang, Zhongshu, Zhou Tong, Ximen Qing, Chen Jingji and others.
Lin Chong was also supposed to accompany him, but he was worried about his wife, so he went to the next table.
A few tables were opened nearby, and the attendants of Zhongshu Cai Youliang were asked to sit down.
The main table was replaced with new dishes, and there were sixty-six taels of dishes on this table alone.
The drinks were also changed to the best, sixteen taels of silver for a bottle of wine!
It is said that Fan Tower is the gold-selling cave in Bianliang City. This is true.
The next step is naturally to change glasses, dance with long sleeves and talk about feelings on the wine table.
This kind of thing puts no pressure on Li Yunze. In the past, there were many people who tried to win over him like this.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
Li Yunze started to bring the topic to the main topic, "Xiao Xianggong Cai is amazingly talented and a rare talent in the Song Dynasty. I think it won't be long before he will be reused by the officials."
Speaking of this, Cai You immediately put down his chopsticks and sighed, "Hey~~~"
Ximen Qing immediately joked, "What's going on with Mr. Cai?"
"X has won the favor of the officials, but he still lacks the recommendation of several husbands." At this point, Cai You glanced at Li Yunze. "The husbands are also willing to help, but I can't just go around asking for help."
"
"That's it." Li Yunze smiled and nodded, ignoring Zhou Tong's frequent glances, lowering his voice and asking, "I wonder what those husbands like?"
Cai You and Liang Zhongshu looked at each other, their eyes full of admiration.
This kid can talk and do things, and is much better than those rich men who just ask, "How much money do you want?"
"My husbands are all elegant people." Cai You said this without losing face. Liang Zhongshu helped him by saying, "Send some antique calligraphy and paintings, vases and other treasures. It will cost tens of thousands of taels anyway."
Zhou Tong was so anxious that he subconsciously kicked Li Yunze under the table, fearing that he would be cheated.
That’s tens of thousands of dollars!
You must know that Liang Zhongshu gave Cai Jing a birthday gift, which was only 100,000 yuan. This was his annual filial piety quota.
It is conceivable that tens of thousands of coins are just the beginning, and I will definitely continue to ask for them in the future.
Li Yunze nodded slowly, then picked up the wine glass and said, "Come on, let's have some wine."
The atmosphere once again returned to the atmosphere of changing cups and cups, everyone was laughing and chatting, the girl behind the bead curtain played the pipa, and the atmosphere was very lively.
"Junior brother." Lin rushed over and whispered, "It's getting late, I'll take your sister-in-law back."
"Okay." Li Yunze nodded, "Be careful on the road, I won't send you away."
Over there, Lin Chong was sending his wife out, and here Li Yunze was chatting and laughing with Cai You, "I have some extravagant wealth here. If Mr. Cai needs it, just use it."
When Zhou Tong heard this, he immediately lowered his head helplessly.
Cai You's face was filled with joy, but he forced himself to hold it back: "Isn't that good? After all, you and I have just met each other, this, this, this"
"Hey~~~"
Li Yunze smiled and waved his hand, "Xiangong Cai and I hit it off as soon as we met. I admire your demeanor. A little wealth is nothing. If I can have my husband as a friend in Bianliang City, wouldn't everything go smoothly?"
"Hahahaha~~~"
Cai You laughed proudly and picked up the wine glass naturally, "You are really good at talking. I don't dare to say anything else, but in this Bianliang City, if anyone comes to trouble you, I, Cai You, will never ignore it.
"
"Then thank you sir." Li Yunze raised his glass with a smile and touched one with him.
Just when the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Everyone frowned and looked over.
The person who came in was a senior waiter with a slightly flustered look on his face, "Dear distinguished guests, there has been trouble with someone at Coach Lin's place."
Before anyone could say anything, Li Yunze immediately shouted, "Who dares to be rude to my senior brother? Didn't you know that Mr. Cai was having a drink here? How dare you not give Mr. Cai face!"
Cai You, who was drunk, immediately straightened his face when he heard this, "Who is so bold? Let him get out."
"It's Gao Yanei from Taiwei Gao's family"
Before the senior waiter finished speaking, Li Yunze had already yelled angrily, "Who's from Taiwei's office? Look clearly, this is Xianggong Cai! I didn't listen to Xianggong, let him get out."
Upon hearing the name of Captain Gao, Cai You originally thought of something to say.
After all, even though he looked down on warriors, Gao Qiu was still helping the officials to look after the imperial army, so there was no point in confronting him.
But Li Yunze chased him away. How could he take it back and slap him in the face in public?
Cai You, who was suffocating his anger, immediately scolded the waiter with a dark face, "Let him get out of here!"
Li Yunze's eye for seeing people was so precise that he could immediately tell Cai You's thoughts.
He immediately told Ximen Qing in front of everyone, "Officials, tomorrow we will deliver the local products we brought from the countryside to Xianggong Cai's house. There should be no delay."
Ximen Qing, who didn't understand what was going on at all, asked stupidly, "What kind of souvenir, how much are you giving?"
Li Yunze opened his palm and said, "First give me 50,000 yuan."
‘Hiss~~~’
Suddenly there was a sound of breathing on the table.
Of course Cai You has never seen tens of thousands of taels, but this is the critical moment when his father strictly controls his expenses and does not give him a chance to get ahead.
The huge sum of tens of thousands of taels made him immediately dissipate the anger on his face and turn it into a smile.
Of course, you have to maintain your identity and won't reveal it too much. "That's too polite. Just say whatever you want."
While they were complimenting each other and talking and laughing, there was a lot of footsteps outside, and soon Lin Chong came back with an embarrassed look on his face while protecting his wife.
Immediately after, a young man dressed up in office, with a pair of dark circles in his eyes followed him with a smile.
There is no doubt that this person is the famous Gao Yanei.
After that, there was a large group of helpers and followers from Gao Yamen. One of them had a stern face, and he had a sword on his waist. He could be seen as a Lianjiazi.
"Senior Brother." Li Yunze stood up, took Lin Chong and his wife to the table and sat down, "Don't panic, Mr. Cai is here to make the decision for us, who dares not to give Mr. Cai face?"
Cai You originally planned to ask what happened first, but he didn't expect that Gao Yanei might have drunk too much horse urine, so he shouted, "Where is Mr. Cai? Mr. Cai was holding a banquet in the mansion, and my father also went to the banquet.
Now. Who is pretending to be Mr. Cai?"
As soon as these words came out, Cai You couldn't bear it immediately.
What he hates most now is the old man who is blocking him from getting ahead, and he also hates being called a little husband outside.
How could Cai You endure such a playboy like Gao Yanei who dared to look down on him?
He immediately slapped the table and stood up, stepped in front of Gao Yanei, raised his hand and walked over to several big players.
Gao Yanei had never experienced this before. He was completely stunned.
When he came to his senses, he covered his face with rage and screamed, "Lu Qian! Kill him!!"
Lu Qian is not stupid. He knows that the identity of the person in this room is definitely not simple.
He stepped forward to Gao Yanei with a waist knife in hand, intending to give him some advice before asking for the identity of the person opposite him.
But at this moment, Li Yunze rushed over like lightning and shouted loudly, "How brave! How dare you assassinate Xianggong Cai!"
Li Yunze came with anger, and Lu Qian suddenly felt an unprecedented terrible pressure, and subconsciously pulled out the knife in fear.
He drew the sword just because he was afraid of the pressure brought by Li Yunze, and he never thought that Cai You was in front of him.
Hearing that Gao Yanei wanted to kill him, Lu Qian even pulled out a knife in front of him. Cai Youna was shocked and angry.
So brave, so brave!
Fortunately, Li Yunze had already rushed over at this time, snatched away Lu Qian's saber with his bare hands, and then kicked him directly on the chest.
Amidst the sound of bones breaking, Lu Qian was kicked and flew out.
"My lord, please don't be alarmed." Li Yunze whispered to Cai You, "With me and my fellow apprentices here, no one can hurt my lord."
Cai You thought of Zhou Tong, the famous Guanzhong hero, and immediately felt at ease.
He yelled angrily and pointed at Gao Yanei in front of him, "Kill him!"
Over there, Lin Chong was so distraught that he shouted in horror, "No~~~"
Li Yunze turned around and put the stolen sword into the hands of Ximen Qing, who had followed to watch the excitement, and then pretended to ask, "Brother, why is this?"
"He, he is the son of Captain Gao." Lin Chong was very anxious and kept explaining, "You must not hurt him."
Li Yunze, who sneered in his heart, looked at Cai You with a sad look on his face: "My lord, look at this."
After drinking a lot of wine, Cai You, who was drunk, sneered again and again, "What's wrong with Gao Qiu's son? I'm still Cai Jing's son! Kill him!"
Li Yunze secretly kicked Ximen Qing's calf. Ximen Qing, who was holding a knife in his hand, was completely unprepared. His legs and feet went weak and he jumped forward. The knife in his hand fell directly on Gao Yanei's body.
Gao Yanei's shrill screams instantly echoed through the entire Fan Tower.
