Chapter 117: Destined to meet thousands of miles away
In Fengyang, on the bank of Huaiyang River, Guanhuai Tower.【】
This is the most high-end restaurant in Dufengyang. The dishes and services are not mentioned, but the biggest feature is that it is expensive! A banquet can cost an ordinary person a year's income? That's just a slightly lower-end dish.
Such an expensive meal has become a symbol of status. Children, descendants, relatives, nobles, and wealthy businessmen will not come here to show off unless they are required to entertain guests. But when they arrive and really want to meet any important guests,
Then you must come here. Being able to sit here and entertain guests is a symbol of status, a symbol of wealth, and a symbol of strength.
It is said that this large restaurant is the property of Xu Yingxu, the third son of the mountain king Xu Da. Xu Da was the first hero in the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
The right prime minister participated in military and state affairs, was granted the title of Duke of Wei, and was awarded a hereditary iron certificate. After his death, he was granted the title of Mountain King, with the posthumous title of Wuning, and was given the title of king for three generations. He was buried in the Yin of Zhongshan Mountain, and made a Shinto stele. He was also entitled to enjoy the Imperial Ancestral Temple, the portrait of the meritorious ministers, and the throne.
First, he is a very popular minister. His son bought a property in Fengyang, the capital, and even the phoenixes, dragons, and grandsons of the capital can live in it. Naturally, no one dares to make things difficult for him in this store.
Zhao Zikai was entertaining guests at the Guanhuai Tower. He was a big businessman in Fengyang, more precisely, a big construction businessman. Zhu Yuanzhang originally intended to make Fengyang his capital, and moved 100,000 wealthy households here to build a large-scale construction project.
, but later because Fengyang did not meet the conditions for being the capital of a country, under the persuasion of Liu Bowen and others, Fengyang was abandoned and Jinling was established instead.
It was during that time that the Zhao family became prosperous. Zhao Zikai's father was Zhao Zhengkui. He was a steward in the mansion of Shen Wansan, the richest man in the Ming Dynasty. He was shrewd and intelligent, and learned many business methods. The emperor built the capital, and hundreds of thousands of wealthy households wanted to do it.
He took this opportunity to build a house, quit his job in the Shen Mansion and took down roots in Fengyang. He made a lot of money and his feet were wet. Now Fengyang is the capital and the place where the Ming Dynasty is prosperous. His status is still transcendent.
With all the phoenixes, dragons and grandsons gathered here, the Zhao family still has a lot of business to do. However, Zhao's father is old and has now left most of the business management to his son.
Zhao Zikai has been paying attention to the pair of young women by the window, because there are very few people who come to such an expensive hotel to dine not just to entertain guests, but just to satisfy their appetites, and that pair of young women are exactly like this.
.They did not enter the private room, but ordered a few dishes there. While eating, they looked at the scenery beside the Huaihe River outside the window, as leisurely as if they were at home.
The two girls are both young, the older one is fifteen or sixteen years old, with bright eyes and white teeth, as bright as the moon. They are wearing very simple yet luxurious clothes made of elegant materials, but the style of the clothes and the hairstyle on their hair make it look like they are just a personal maid.
. Looking at the master from the maid, the master is naturally even more remarkable. This master is another younger girl. She is only eleven or twelve years old. She has picturesque features and a charming face. Perhaps it is because of her good family background.
She eats well, so her body is more mature than other girls of the same age. Her clothes are also that elegant pear white color, her crystal rosy face reveals an innocent smile.
Zhao Zikai knew that this elegant style of wearing no jewelry was the custom of members of the Ming Dynasty royal family. Later it spread, and only families with close ties to the royal family and high status would dress in this way. Such families,
There is no need to rely on expensive cars, BMWs, and jewelry to show off one's status.
What caught Zhao Zikai's attention was not the beauty of these two girls. Being able to sit here eating and dress like this, they were not women he could afford to mess with. They don't have power, but they have privileges. Squeezing him to death, Zhao Zikai, is almost like squeezing a bedbug to death, so he doesn't dare to take advantage of this elegant girl who eats in Guanhuai Tower.
What he cared about was that he accidentally heard the young lady mention that the manor buildings were old and needed to be renovated. This immediately attracted Zhao Zikai's attention. Zhao Zikai was in the construction industry, and he knew that the villas and villas of the princes and nobles were There are not many villas, but the construction materials are very particular, and the spending is very generous. Once I take over the business, I will make a lot of income just from the renovation and maintenance, plus the old buildings that are cleaned up are no longer used. He refurbished and sold the valuable wood and other items, which was another windfall, so he immediately became interested.
"Miss, although this is the capital, there is a garrison department in the capital, and there are eight guards and officers and soldiers surrounding it, so there is no danger of anything happening, but after all, there is a mixed bag of dragons and snakes here, and the lady has a noble status. She ran out to play alone, leaving her family behind, without the use of carriages and horses. , after all, something is wrong, if the eldest master, third master, and fourth master know about it, my little maid will definitely be reprimanded."
The older beauty quietly complained about the girl who had just come out and looked like a little beauty. The girl ate her food happily and said impatiently: "It's done, I originally wanted to go to Peking. It's so boring to be kept by my sister and brother-in-law all day long. Now that I'm here in the capital, I want to be alone and be more casual, but you come and make noise again. If you do that again, I'll drive you back and I'll go out to play alone!"
The little beauty said, with a resentful expression on the personal maid's face, and a pair of big, black and bright eyes that smiled like crescent moons: "Okay, okay, you're the one to pester me. Let's do this. We'll finish our meal in a while. Going to Baoyue Tower and shopping in Peiping are all paid for by my sister. I can’t go out without a sense of fun, pick out some jewelry and give it back to my sisters-in-law. Then we will go back to the manor."
"By the way, let's talk about our Zhuangzi."
The little girl put down her chopsticks and said angrily to the maid: "Tell Manager Liu to find someone to renovate it immediately. It has only been a few years since we came here. The buildings in 'Guiyuan' are already so old. How can we live in them?" Ah. I have the final say on this matter. I will come over to play this summer, and the garden must be repaired for me. Otherwise, he won’t have to work here, hum!"
"Guiyuan? This little lady is the owner of Guiyuan?"
Guiyuan is the property of Xu Guogong's family. Is this young lady the owner of Guiyuan? Well, I heard that Xu Guogong had a son who was born the year Xu Guogong died of illness. He is about this age. Could it be that this little lady is the property of Xu Guogong's family? The young lady is the little princess of Xu Guogong's mansion? Yes, that's right. Just now, the pretty maid said, "The eldest master, the third master, the fourth master", not mentioning the second son. Xu Guogong gave birth to four sons, and the second son died young. Isn't this... …”
No wonder the two of them were having a casual meal here. Even one of the maidservants was as graceful and elegant as a minister. It turned out to be a nobleman from Duke Xu's palace. Zhao Zikai was so excited that he immediately wanted to recommend himself.
After the guests left, Zhao Zikai didn't just leave. He saw that the young lady had finished her meal carefully, stood up, took the maid, and left. Zhao Zikai immediately followed him and saw the waiter in the shop treating the young lady. He was respectful and didn't even accept the meal money. When he saw her, he just bowed and said: "Little miss, go slowly." The two masters and maids went out in a grand manner. Zhao Zikai was even more determined: Hey! Of course I don't have to pay. , this is a restaurant opened by her third brother.
Zhao Zikai hurriedly paid the bill, not caring about the change, and hurriedly chased him out. He saw the naughty and lively little girl walking happily on the street, looking around with a look of indifference. Zhao Zikai hurriedly asked his subordinates
The guard waved his hand like a carriage driver, held up the skirt of his robe and hurried after him. He bowed his head and said, "Ahem, young lady, please stay."
"Oh?" The little girl stopped and turned her dark eyes, looking at them curiously. However, the beautiful maid took a step forward, stopped in front of the young lady, and said with a pretty face: "Who are you? Street.
Isn't it rude to strike up a conversation?"
Zhao Zikai quickly smiled and said: "Excuse me, forgive me, I am a businessman in the city, Zhao Zikai. I have participated in the construction of many princes and nobles' mansions. I just accidentally heard the young lady saying that I wanted to renovate the garden. I am exactly the same."
I am engaged in this profession, so I recommend myself..."
The little girl pushed the maid in front of her, looked him up and down, and asked innocently: "Are you doing well? I want to build a red five-cornered pavilion and a large fish pond.
I will stock more fish. I will demolish the original house and build it again. I will build a bathroom made of the best stones. I will plant some flowers and plants in it. The skylight will be wider and brighter. I won’t
I like the feeling of being stuffy..."
Zhao Zikai smiled brightly and nodded repeatedly: "As long as the young lady uses a villain to do it, it will be done perfectly and the young lady must be satisfied."
"Oh, that's it. That saves trouble. Just follow me. I'll go back in a while." After the young lady finished speaking, she jumped away and Zhao Zikai followed closely behind, followed by his servants.
and a luxurious carriage. After driving for a while, they arrived at Baoyue Tower, which specializes in precious jewelry. The young lady secretly glanced at the maid, with a hint of cunning and pride in her eyes. The maid's expression did not change, she gently supported her and whispered.
He said as if: "Feifei, calm down!"
The young lady quickly suppressed her smile, and with her support, she entered Baoyue Tower in a grand manner...
On the spacious and flat official road leading to Fengyang, a line of vehicles was coming.
"Master, are you almost arriving in Fengyang?"
Xiaodi was lying in the car, only sticking her head out of the car and asked.
Xia Xun rode on the horse and said with a smile: "Yes, we have just passed Guzhen and will arrive in Fengyang immediately. In Fengyang, we stop for a while, look around, and then continue south. But the streets are full of royal relatives and relatives.
Let's go, the dignitaries and relatives will grab a lot of them, we have to be careful not to cause any trouble."
"Okay, sit down quickly. Your young master said he would take you to play, so don't be in a hurry this time."
Xiaodi stretched out a hand from behind and slapped her round buttocks, making a crisp sound. Then Peng Ziqi's face, which was almost exposed to the rain and dew, was exposed from behind Xiaodi's shoulders and looked towards her.
Xia Xun smiled sweetly. The two pretty faces of Peng Ziqi and Xiaodi depended on each other, like a side-by-side lotus flower.
Xiaodi already knows that Peng Ziqi is Xia Xun's woman. Her young master and brother have had many women before, and she has long been accustomed to it. The environment and education from childhood can shape a person's thoughts. People born in this era
Xiaodi has believed that this kind of thing is natural since she was a child and will not have any objection. Relatively speaking, Peng Ziqi has a cheerful temperament and gets along well with her. If Xia Xun must have a woman, she would prefer Sister Peng who is easy to get along with.
woman.
Along the way, the two girls with similar temperaments got along very well. They were inseparable when sitting, lying and walking. However, Xiaodi later discovered that Sister Peng, who was always clamoring to go to bed early at night, would take out her orgasm when she fell asleep.
He went without a trace, and he didn't know where he went. Xiaodi was not stupid, and he could guess that Sister Peng had gone to be in close contact with the young master.
"Hey, you can slip away while I'm asleep and come back before dawn, and you won't be too tired. You'll die if we don't stay together for a few days!" Xiaodi secretly pouted. Although she is still not sure about her feelings for the young master, she is already
Some sour vinegar fermented in her heart. Vinegar, the fungus that breeds love, began to take root in the little girl's heart. One day, it will grow into a big mushroom that can be used to pick girls...
