Fengle Building is located at the north end of Royal Street. It has five buildings: east, west, south, north and middle. Each building is three stories high. Among them, the west building is the largest and is the first choice for dignitaries.
Shi Jingyang asked casually: "Is there a waiting room in the west building?"
Qingshan leaned back and replied: "Yes, the shopkeeper said that the private room in the west building must be reserved five days in advance. Today's private room was booked five days ago."
After being away from the capital for several years, he had forgotten all these things.
Yang Haozhuo looked at Shi Jingyang and took over, "Let's just go to the east building. The three of us are just getting together to have a meal. There's no need to be so particular."
Ning Yu smiled and said: "It's already very good. If it were me as the host, I could only invite you to Zuixian Tower."
If the restaurants in the capital are divided into upper, middle and lower grades, the top ones are Fengle Tower, Fan Tower and Fuyi Tower.
The Zuixian Tower in Ning Yu's mouth can only be considered average, or above average.
Yang Haozhuo poked Ning Yu with a folding fan, "I've already said that when we are together, the point is to get together. It doesn't matter what we eat. It doesn't matter where we are, let's go!"
Shi Jingyang said to Qingshan: "Lead the way."
The group of people followed Qingshan to the east building. Yang Haozhuo and Shi Jingyang walked side by side in front, while Ning Yu followed behind.
When they went upstairs, someone bowed to Yang Haozhuo and said, "Hello, Fourth Master!"
Yang Haozhuo looked at the person who was saluting, turned to Shi Jingyang and Ning Yu and said, "This is my cousin's servant. You two go upstairs first. I'll say hello and come back."
Shi Jingyang nodded, turned around and asked, "Qingshan, which private room is ours?"
Qingshan leaned forward and said, "Go back to the Ruyi Hall on the second floor."
Yang Haozhuo cupped his hands towards Shi Jingyang and Ning Yu, "I'll come as soon as I go."
Ning Yu nodded, "Go quickly."
After Yang Haozhuo left, Shi Jingyang and Ning Yu went to Ruyi Hall one after another.
Qingshan poured tea for the two of them and then retreated outside the door.
Shi Jingyang reached out to pick up the tea cup and motioned to Ning Yu, "Yingzhe has tea."
Ning Yu bowed slightly, "Okay!"
Shi Jingyang took a sip of tea and looked up at Ning Yu. He vaguely remembered that before his wedding, Ning Yu came to find him and asked him to treat Ning Wei well.
Zhao Yongqing often goes in and out of Ning's house. He doesn't believe that Ning Yu knows anything about the affairs between Ning Wei and Zhao Yongqing.
"At noon today, the old lady came to cancel the engagement between Shi and Ning. Does Yingzhe know about this?"
Ning Yu's hand paused slightly. He didn't expect his grandmother to be so quick. He looked up and saw Shi Jingyang looking at him, waiting for his reply.
Ning Yu suddenly understood why Shi Jingyang came today. He nodded truthfully and said, "I know, I was there when Ah Wei told her grandmother about this last night."
As expected, it was Ning Wei's request. An inexplicable fire arose in Shi Jingyang's heart. He frowned and asked, "Why? Shouldn't juniors abide by the marriage contract made by the elders? It's rare to say that Miss Ning has this intention.
Are you not satisfied with this marriage?"
Ning Yu could hear a bit of anger in Shi Jingyang's words. He didn't know why he was angry. The Ning family didn't force them to keep their promise. Shouldn't he be happy? Why was he still angry?
Besides, Ah Wei just doesn’t want to climb up to the Marquis Palace, who does she really want to belong to?
"Qing'an, when you get married, it's because the two surnames are good, and it's important to be of the same family.
I don’t know what kind of friendship there is between my grandfather and the old Marquis. Under what circumstances did they decide on this marriage?
But the gap between our two houses can’t be described as the difference between clouds and mud. Right?
In addition, Ah Wei and I lost our mothers when we were young. Ah Wei said, given her current conditions, how can she be the wife of the prince of the Hou family?
If she really marries into the Hou family, how many people will look down upon her?
I know, Qing'an, you are a person who keeps your promises and keeps your promises. With this engagement, you will definitely marry Ah Wei.
Ask yourself, will you treat Ah Wei sincerely? Will the people in the Hou family sincerely accept Ah Wei?
Ah Wei was raised by my grandmother and me. She is a sister of my compatriot. I couldn’t bear to see her wronged. I didn’t want to see her be disliked by others, and I didn’t want to see her begging for compromise.
Life spans only a few decades, and although my abilities are limited, I hope Ah Wei can live a happy life."
Shi Jingyang just wanted to know if Ning Wei had someone in his heart. Ning Yu said a lot but kept silent about it.
"That's it? Doesn't Miss Ning have her own heart?"
Ning Yu suddenly stood up and looked at Shi Jingyang with a sullen face, "It concerns my sister-in-law's reputation. Please think twice before speaking. I'm sorry, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, Ning Yu walked away, opened the door and went out, and almost bumped into Yang Haozhuo who was about to enter the house.
"Yingzhe, what...is happening to you?"
Yang Haozhuo looked at Ning Yu, who looked angry, and turned to look into the room.
Ning Yu said in a deep voice: "I have something to do, so I'll leave first."
Ning Yu said as he passed Yang Haozhuo and walked quickly towards the stairs.
Yang Haozhuo looked at Ning Yu's back and shouted: "We haven't eaten yet, where are you going?"
Ning Yu didn't reply, but he had already reached the stairs. In the blink of an eye, he was out of sight.
Yang Haozhuo looked at Ning Yu who disappeared at the top of the stairs, turned around and entered the room, looked at Shi Jingyang at the table, and pointed outside the room, "Qing'an, what happened to Yingzhe? Why did he leave in such a rage?"
Shi Jingyang didn't shy away and said truthfully: "I said something that made him unhappy."
Yang Haozhuo walked to the table and sat down, looked at Shi Jingyang with suspicion, and asked: "What did you say? You made Yingzhe so angry! Alas, how many years have you and Yingzhe known each other? Eight years if not ten years? Yes.
Bar?"
"Nine years and three months!" Shi Jingyang replied.
Yang Haozhuo was stunned for a moment, then continued: "I remember it so clearly. That is, we have known each other for more than nine years. When have you ever seen Yingzhe and Ren blush? What on earth did you say to him? He was so angry that he slammed the door and left?"
When it came to Ning Wei's reputation, Shi Jingyang would not talk nonsense. He just lowered his head and drank tea without answering.
Seeing Shi Jingyang's silence, Yang Haozhuo had no choice but to say, "Okay, I won't ask anymore. However, I have to remind you that Yingzhe seems to have nothing to do with the world and is easy to talk to. In fact, he is very principled and treats him well."
Don’t let others say a bad word about the people or things you care about.”
Shi Jingyang nodded, "I don't have to!"
Yang Haozhuo picked up the pot and poured himself a cup of tea. He looked at Shi Jingyang and shook his head, "Why don't you bother provoking him anyway?"
After Yang Haozhuo finished speaking, he took a sip of tea, looked sideways at Shi Jingyang, and asked curiously: "What on earth did you say to Yingzhe? Yingzhe is used to being indifferent, and there are almost nothing that can interest him."
Anyone who is familiar with Ning Yu knows that he is a disciple of Master Jingkong. He usually goes to Baoen Temple whenever he has some time.
Perhaps because he had stayed in the temple for a long time, Ning Yu had developed the character of taking everything in his favor, not fighting for it, and he was extremely indifferent to fame and fortune.
At a young age, he looks a bit more stable than his peers.
Yang Haozhuo suddenly thought of something and looked at Shi Jingyang with wide eyes, "Have you touched Yingzhe's bottom line and slandered the people he cares about?"
Shi Jingyang didn't expect Yang Haozhuo to be so sensitive, so he glanced at Yang Haozhuo in astonishment.
Seeing Shi Jingyang's evasive eyes, Yang Haozhuo was so excited that he slapped the table, "I guessed it right, didn't I?"
What did you say to discredit Mrs. Qian?
Qing'an, I'm not talking about you, Mrs. Qian is both a grandmother and a mother in Yingzhe's eyes.
Think about it, Yingzhe lost his mother when he was a child, and it was all because of Mrs. Qian that he raised them as brothers and sisters. You know these situations."
After Mrs. Zhao passed away, Mrs. Qian took Ning Yu and Ning Wei into her care and rarely went out to socialize.
It is rumored that Mrs. Qian is strange, cold, vicious, and difficult to deal with.
"What are you thinking about?" Shi Jingyang glanced at Yang Haozhuo, stood up and walked out.
"Hey, Qing'an, where are you going?" Yang Haozhuo asked hurriedly when he saw Shi Jingyang walking out.
Shi Jing raised his head and said without looking back: "I have something to do, so I'll leave first."
"Today you are the host..."
Shi Jingyang had already gone out. He said, "Mark my account," and then walked away.
Yang Haozhuo was so angry that he chased him to the door and shouted at Shi Jingyang's back: "Do I need this little money?"
Shi Jingyang seemed not to hear and hurried down the stairs.
The waiter serving the dishes stood at the door, looked at the direction in which Shi Jingyang disappeared, then looked at Yang Haozhuo, and said: "Fourth Master, the dishes are ready, do you think it's ready?"
Yang Haozhuo stepped aside and said, "Come up, come up, come up, bring them all up, and record them in the account of Crown Prince Weiyuan Hou."
The waiter nodded in agreement: "Okay! I understand." After saying that, he went into the room and quickly put the dishes on the table.
Yang Haozhuo looked at the empty room and had no appetite at all. He stopped the waiter who was about to go out and said, "Pack up this table and send it to the Yang Mansion next door."
The waiter bowed and said, "Yes, I will arrange it now."
On the other side, Ning Yu rushed out of the east building angrily and met Zhao Yongqing and several young men heading this way.
Ning Yu secretly sighed that he shouldn't go out today.
I couldn't avoid it, so I had to bite the bullet and move forward.
When Zhao Yongqing saw Ning Yu, he stopped and shook his folding fan and said angrily: "Oh, isn't this the second cousin? The second cousin also comes to Fengle Building for dinner?"
Ning Yu didn't want to say anything more. After bowing his hands and bowing in greeting, he straightened up and started to leave.
How could Zhao Yongqing let him leave so easily? He gave the boy next to him a wink.
Seeing the young man Fugui, Jin Gui stepped forward to block Ning Yu's way.
Ning Yu stopped, turned to look at Zhao Yongqing, and asked, "What does this mean?"
Zhao Yongqing approached Ning Yu while waving his folding fan, then put away the folding fan, poked Ning Yu's shoulder with the folding fan, and said with a smile: "Second cousin, don't think too much, my cousin has no ill intentions towards you!
It is said that an invitation is worse than a chance encounter. It is rare for us to meet each other. Now that we have met, we will have fun together.
My brothers are meeting at Fengle Building today. How about a favor from my second cousin and a drink and chat with everyone?
By the way, Miao Miao, a celebrity from Liu's class, will come to sing, and Yiyi from Wang's class will dance with her.
After a while, I will ask Yiyi to dance a song in front of my second cousin. How about that?
I guarantee that Yiyi will definitely be able to jump into my second cousin’s heart and make him want to stop. That feeling is really wonderful!”
Liu Jia Ban in Beijing is famous for its singing. Liu Jia Ban's Miaomiao is gifted with a good voice and is the most popular celebrity nowadays.
Different from the Liu Family Class, the Wang Family Class is distinguished by their dancing. The actors in the class have been practicing since they were young. They are all as soft as a bone. Among them, Wang Yiyi is the most outstanding, extremely soft and beautiful.
Saying that, Zhao Yongqing raised his hand and wanted to put his hand on Ning Yu's shoulder.
Before his hand fell, Ning Yu moved to the side, leaving Zhao Yongqing's hand free.
Ning Yu refused to give Zhao Yongqing face in public, making Zhao Yongqing so embarrassed that he could not leave the stage.
"Hey, why are you so ignorant of praise? Brother Qing can let you join us, so he thinks highly of you!" When a young man in a blue gown saw this, he shouted angrily at Ning Yu.
"That's right, who do you think you are? Brother Qing thinks you are a cousin, and that means he thinks highly of you! Don't be shameless!" Another young man followed with a postscript.
Zhao Yongqing clapped his palms with a folding fan, looked at Ning Yu and said with a half-smile, "You two don't need to talk much. My second cousin is a scholar and has a higher level of vision. He doesn't like us."
Zhao Yongqing and his gang of friends are all young men who eat, drink and have fun, and they look down on the ugly scholar the most.
Zhao Yongqing knew their character well, and with a few words, he drew the flames of war to Ning Yu.
"Scholar, bah, this is the etiquette of a scholar, don't insult the scholar!" The man in blue sneered.
Zhao Yongqing raised his chin towards Ning Yu and said, "Brother Yu, I'm not telling you, you have to change your noble temperament. Otherwise, people will think you are rude.
It's understandable that an illiterate person has no manners. You are a scholar, and you are a scholar who is a disciple of Grand Scholar Yang. Why are you so disrespectful? Doesn't this tarnish the reputation of Grand Scholar Yang?"
Zhao Yongqing saw that the people were not scolding him harshly enough, so he continued to criticize him.
After saying that, Zhao Yongqing leaned towards Ning Yu and said loudly with a bit of pride: "Second cousin, we are relatives, and we will get married soon. We are already a family. Brother Yu, what are you doing?
Why bother?"
Zhao Yongqing's words about kissing and kissing completely angered Ning Yu.
Without saying a word, Ning Yu raised his hand and punched Zhao Yongqing.
In anger, Ning Yu used all his strength.
Zhao Yongqing didn't expect Ning Yu to take action. It was too late to avoid Ning Yu, and he was hit on the left side of the face with an uppercut by Ning Yu.
Instinctively, Zhao Yongqing turned his head to one side, and Ning Yu's fist crossed his nose. Pain instantly spread throughout his body, something suddenly flowed out of his nose, and there was a sweet taste in his mouth...
Not only Zhao Yongqing didn't expect Ning Yu to take action, everyone present was stunned like stone sculptures, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.
Zhao Yongqing raised his hand and wiped it, and his hand was immediately covered with blood.
The young boy Fugui was the first to come to his senses and hurriedly stepped forward to wipe his master's face.
The scarlet blood dripped onto Zhao Yongqing's moon-white clothes, which was particularly dazzling.
Zhao Yongqing spat out a mouthful of blood, touched his face in disbelief, turned to look at Jin Gui and others who were stunned, and cursed: "Damn it, are you dead? Didn't you see this bitch beat me? Why don't you give it to me?
I’m going to fight?”
Jin Gui and others came to their senses and rushed toward Ning Yu with their fists raised.
Zhao Yongqing covered his face and stepped aside, cursing: "Damn it, you little bastard, how dare you attack me? Beat me to death. You go too, beat that bastard hard for me.
"
Zhao Yongqing scolded and directed the boys.
Fugui got the order and rushed towards Ning Yu.
The young masters came to their senses. Some of them scolded Ning Yu angrily, some stepped forward to check on Zhao Yongqing's injury, and some stood aside to watch the fun.
