The food in Feng Lailou is indeed good, and the service is attentive. Xu You feels very comfortable eating, especially the wine, which tastes much better than the one in Jizhou. But he doesn't know the price, thinking that he has brought enough money.
, Xu You was also relieved a lot, but when he saw a group of big-headed soldiers eating with their mouths full of oil and drinking wine and spirits from Fenglai Tower, he couldn't help but tremble slightly in his heart. If he had known better, he wouldn't have invited these soldiers.
It was such a waste to eat.
After a long time, the group finally finished eating. Except for Xu You's table, the other four tables were all messy and unsightly.
"Settling the accounts." Xu You burped with satisfaction.
Three maids came in a hurry after hearing this. After some calculations, the maid said: "Sir, the total is three hundred thousand dollars."
Xu You almost didn't swallow it in one breath, his face turned red from holding back, and he repeated: "Three hundred thousand dollars? Is that correct?" Even though Xu You was quite rich, he was not so generous as to spend three hundred thousand dollars on a meal.
After all, it was such a big account. When the maid heard this, she lowered her head and calculated it again. She raised her head and said, "It's exactly three hundred thousand dollars."
When the guards next to them heard these words, their faces turned pale. They ate 300,000 yuan in one meal. They may not be able to earn so much money in their lifetime. Unknowingly, they need so much in one meal.
The general stepped forward and said: "Could it be that the restaurant is bullying us as guests from out of town and deliberately raising the price?"
Xu You nodded slightly and said, "I am a guest of the general. Please ask your shopkeeper to come out."
After all, three hundred thousand dollars is a lot of money. The maid doesn't care if she makes any judgments without authorization, not to mention that the other person is definitely the general's distinguished guest. This point alone cannot be underestimated. If you accidentally offend the person above, maybe there will be a storm the next day.
If you come to the building, it will close down.
Seeing changes in the restaurant, many guests came out to see who the person was.
After a while, Feng Yalian walked lightly and walked down from the third floor of the restaurant.
Xu You was stunned when he saw Feng Ya. She was tall and smiling. Every step she took made people feel so comfortable. She couldn't find any faults. What made Xu You even more amazed was Feng Ya's appearance.
A smile can seduce people to endless reverie. Such a person is actually the owner of a restaurant. Xu You's brain is a little short-circuited. He really wants to pay generously and leave a good impression on the beauty, but he thinks of bringing all the money with him when traveling.
After paying so much money and being generous, the group of people will wait to drink the northwest wind. Judging from the reaction of the maid in the restaurant just now, as long as Jia Rong's name is announced, the owner of the restaurant will definitely give him some face. Maybe because
As an envoy, how can I interact with the owner of the restaurant? Such a role is rare even in Jizhou.
"I wonder if this distinguished guest has any questions? When a small shop opens a business, it is important to pay attention to the word integrity. He has always been honest and has a certain reputation in the city. Everyone present can bear witness to it." Although Feng Ya's tone was plain.
, but there is a hint of anger in it.
The onlookers were pointing and discussing, listening attentively, and most of them were criticizing Xu Youzhi.
"I am a guest of the general. I heard that Fenglailou is quite famous, so I came to taste it. I didn't expect that a meal would cost 300,000 yuan." When mentioning this meal, Xu You couldn't help it.
Feng Ya said to the maid on the side: "Tell the truth about what these guests ate."
After a moment, Feng Ya said: "Guest, there is no miscalculation. Fifteen bottles of wine cost 120,000 yuan, and there are so many meals. Your guards broke the moonlight cup, and the shop didn't care."
Fifteen bottles of wine cost 120,000 yuan, which is already very reasonable in Feng Lai Tower. Regular customers come to eat and drink at this price, not to mention the price of the moonlight cup is not low. For a time, all the reasons are occupied by the elegant side.
, the other diners all accused Xu You of being wrong. If Xu You hadn't had the status of a general's guest, he wouldn't have been so polite.
"If you can't afford it, don't come to Feng Lai Lou. Do you think anyone can enter this place? Before you eat next time, ask about the price first, so as not to be unable to pay in the end and make people laugh." A customer said.
road.
The guests who can enter and leave Fenglai Tower are either rich or noble, and have a certain reputation and status in the city.
Xu You was at a loss for words, his face turned red, and he did not reveal his identity as the envoy of Jizhou. This would only make him more embarrassed. In this way, others would not know his identity and the matter would be revealed.
Putting all the money together, it was only nearly 100,000 yuan, and Xu You even attracted a burst of ridicule.
"As you are the general's distinguished guest, I can write down an IOU." Feng Ya said in a cold tone. After such a fuss, more people gathered, which had a very bad impact on the restaurant's business.
Xu You asked clearly how to write an IOU. After writing it, he left in dejection with a group of guards. He didn't want to stay in this place for a moment.
Feng Ya put the IOU away and said some decent words before the onlookers dispersed. However, Xu You became the laughing stock in Chang'an City.
Xu You thought that no one knew his identity. He entered the city with such arrogance today. The name of the Jizhou envoy had already been widely spread in the city. Now that something like this happened again, rumors about the Jizhou envoy spread in Chang'an.
When he walked out of the Fenglai Building, he was greeted by a gust of cold wind. Xu You couldn't help but shrink his head into his clothes and thought to himself: "Now that I am short of money, do I have to sleep on the street?"
The general seemed to see Xu You's difficulty, and stepped forward and said softly: "Sir, when we left the general's mansion, the general once said that we would arrange our food and lodging. Why not go back and rest as soon as possible while it is still dark?
, after all, it’s the general’s wish, and it’s hard to refuse.”
Xu You pondered for a moment and said slowly: "It makes sense. We can't live up to the general's good intentions. We will set off for the general's mansion now and leave this matter to you."
The general bowed his head and said yes. Xu You is the leader. It is impossible for him to do such a shameful thing. He has a low status and does not care so much. His face cannot be used as food. It is already approaching dusk. It will be embarrassing to sleep on the street.
It will only be bigger.
Fortunately, the general at the General's Mansion did not embarrass Xu You, and still arranged a place for him to stay and sent him meals, which made Xu You secretly relieved.
Thinking of the IOU in the hands of that beautiful woman, Xu You was a little confused. He really wanted to redeem the IOU. He just hoped that after meeting Jia Rong, he would convey Yuan Shao's intention and leave Chang'an quickly, leaving this place of right and wrong.
.
Like the major families of the Han Dynasty, there were also many merchants from Jizhou doing business in Chang'an. Among them, the Zhen family in Jizhou was the most powerful and had the closest contacts with Chang'an. Many merchants in Jizhou relied on the Zhen family's connections to do business in Chang'an.
, Yuan Shao can only turn a blind eye to this. He is also from a noble family. With this level of convenience, many things can be done much more easily. The Zhen family and other noble families have a great reputation in Jizhou, including Yuan Shao.
I don’t dare to blame too much. It’s the last word to have a big fist, but you also have to consider what the consequences will be after the fist is swung down.
Yuan Shao was naturally unwilling to lag behind. There was also Yuan family property in Chang'an City, but Xu You did not dare to go and borrow it. When word spread to Jizhou, the loss of money and reputation was even more regrettable. He was a scholar and cared more about reputation. Strange
I can only blame Jia Rong for not meeting him and putting on a show, otherwise how could something like this happen.
Xu You really wrongly blamed Jia Rong. Jia Rong was in the military camp at that time. When he returned to the general's mansion and got the news, he also wanted to meet Xu You the next day. After all, the Xiliang army also needed a relaxation period after successive battles.
, Xiliang Army's territory is bordering Jizhou. Zhuojun in Youzhou will bear the brunt. In a short period of time, there will only be small conflicts but not big wars. Jia Rong will not sit back and watch Zhuojun in Youzhou fall to Yuan Shao.
hands.
The next day, Xu You asked to see him again.
"Master Xu came all the way from Jizhou, and I don't know why?" Jia Rong asked straight to the point. The more Jizhou sent envoys, he would show indifference. After all, Yuan Shao was the leader of the alliance in the previous war. Jia Rong's heart
More or less a little angry.
Xu You did not dare to neglect. When he came, Yuan Shao warned him in every possible way that he must show due etiquette when he saw Jia Rong. "General, I have been ordered by my lord to come to discuss reconciliation with the Xiliang army. At that time, Cao Cao
He used clever words to confuse the lord so that he was deceived, and that’s why the Hangu Pass happened. I hope the general can understand it clearly."
Jia Rong said lightly: "Oh, is there such a situation?" He disagreed in his heart. For the sake of profit, the princes can fight each other with swords and guns, regardless of justice and the life and death of the people. If the Xiliang army is defeated at Hangu Pass and the coalition forces win,
The whole world is probably full of unfavorable remarks about the Xiliang army. Since ancient times, the winner has always been the king and the loser is the bandit. The loser has no chance to change anything.
Xu You hurriedly said: "That's it. Cao Cao's guy framed the general. He was so shameless that the subordinate already hated him to the core. If he saw him, he would eat his flesh and drink his blood."
"Sir Xu is indeed a person with a warm heart. If he sees Cao Cao's envoy in the future, he will definitely tell all these words."
Xu You was shocked and felt reassured when he saw that Jia Rong's expression was just joking. After all, Jia Rong's identity was there. How could the general just follow the truth casually?
"The general is joking. My lord sent me here this time, but I am sincere. I hope the general will agree for the sake of the people under the two armies." Jia Rong is famous in the world for thinking about the people. Xu You expected to say this.
Export, for the sake of his own feathers, Jia Rong will reluctantly agree.
Unexpectedly, Jia Rong sneered and said: "The Xiliang Army is different from the Jizhou Army. How can we know that the war is not for the people to completely return to normal life? Don't try to persuade anything with righteousness. The people under my general are different from the people under Yuan Shao's rule."
